160 Mountain Rain is Coming (1)
There are mountains in the western suburbs of Zhuangzi, and there are several hot springs in Zhuangzi, which are much warmer than those in Beijing. The heavy snow stopped the next evening, but the north wind was still cold, and the snow in the Zhuangzi did not melt for a few days, so people could only barely clear their way.
In the past, Gu Qingwan almost stayed at home, but after arriving in Zhuangzi, she made an exception to go out to eat after lunch.
Zheng He was still in the house, he was young and his side was short, Gu Qingwan transferred Hongjin and Biliu to serve by Zheng He's side.
Bao Tian has to guard the house, and if Gu Qingwan wants to go out and walk around, the big girl next to her can only be used by Jin Hai. Therefore, she had not gone far a few days ago, but she had just walked around the main house, but yesterday she heard Fuman and Shuangquan talk about the blooming of a few plum blossoms in the northwest corner of Zhuangzi, so she had the idea of going to see it.
Jin Hai saw that Gu Qingwan was on the rise, and he couldn't say anything to spoil the fun, so he could only take out the thickest coat from the box, and let someone prepare a few more hand stoves to take with him.
The buildings of Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs are arranged in the shape of the word "Hui", and the main house where Gu Qingwan now lives is in the middle of this "Hui" character, and the plum forest is near the hot spring in the northwest corner.
Gu Qingwan and Zheng Rui lived in the Zhuangzi, and the stewards in the Zhuangzi restrained the other villagers from going out at will, for fear of bumping into the two of them. If Gu Qingwan naturally didn't care much about these in the past, but now that there is one more Zheng He, she acquiesced to this decision. So he came out of the main house and walked for a quarter of an hour, and he didn't see anyone else nearby.
The stove, which was still hot, was already warm, and Gu Qingwan glanced back at Fuman, who was a little red on the tip of her frozen nose. smiled: "Before I went out, I thought you were wearing thin, and I thought you were not afraid of the cold, but now looking at the situation, I am afraid that even your nose will freeze if you go on." ”
Fuman "hehe" laughed: "The slave is really not afraid of the cold, but how do you feel that the more you go outside, the stronger the wind will be, and the blow on your body is like a knife scraping, which makes people shiver." ”
"Well, there are so many people around me, so you can go back first." Gu Qingwan glanced at Fu Man's pale face. Again. "When we go back, let the kitchen cook ginger soup so that we can get rid of the cold."
Fu Man was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response, and waited for Gu Qingwan to walk far away. Then he turned around and returned along the road.
"The princess wants to see plum blossoms. So I asked people to cut a few branches and come back to insert the bottle. Why bother to go by yourself. Most of the surroundings were white, and a coldness that was about to soak into his bones made Jin Hai shiver
"There are some things that are more fun to do by yourself, either eating or sleeping every day. No matter how good the people are, they are suffocated. Gu Qingwan sighed softly.
There is nothing to do except read some miscellaneous books to pass the time. Previously, Zheng Rui was able to play chess with her, but after Du Jing came over the day before yesterday, Zheng Rui began to go out early and return late.
Although the days in Zhuangzi are very leisurely now, Zheng Rui only looks in a hurry, but in the end, it gives her a sense of depression that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.
Jin Hai stood on tiptoe and looked at the road in front of him, and then said: "It's okay to come out and walk around, but it's too cold this day, and it won't be good if the cold weather passes." As he spoke, he gathered the cloak on his body again, "Fuman is right, the further you go, the better the wind blows, and the princess carefully covers her head and face." ”
The lady in charge who led the way in front said a few words, and Gu Qingwan didn't answer anymore, but only followed behind and walked towards Merlin.
The Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs is not big, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, I faintly saw the plum forest, which was particularly conspicuous in the ice and snow.
Merlin is surrounded by hot springs, which is the warmest place in the Zhuangzi compared to other places. When Gu Qingwan bought this Zhuangzi, it was because of the hot springs here, even if she and Zheng Rui had never come, the stewards in the Zhuangzi were not allowed to wait for idle people to enter the vicinity of Meilin and the hot springs.
Gu Qingwan personally cut a few plum blossoms, so she was not very interested, and handed them to Shuangquan who was standing aside.
There is a small courtyard near the hot spring, which was re-rested when Gu Qingwan first bought Zhuangzi. At first, she was reluctant to give up this hot spring, thinking that if she built a house near the hot spring, she could live nearby when she was sheltered from the cold.
But the northwest corner rarely comes on weekdays, it looks very desolate and cold, and because of the landform, the whole Zhuangzi is actually not too cold. And Gu Qingwan brought too many people this time, so she simply decided to place them all in the hospital.
Gu Qingwan had nothing to do, so she asked the lady in charge to take her around the courtyard. The courtyard is not big, Gu Qingwan walked back and forth for a quarter of an hour and walked around, and after a cursory look, she felt that it was very much in line with her heart.
It's no wonder that when the Zhuangzi was arranged, Gu Qingwan sent Guiye to come over in person. Guiye has been by her side for a long time, and she has long understood her character. Looking at it more closely, the layout of this room is actually eight or nine points similar to the Wanjuan Hall in King Rui's Mansion.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingwan's heart moved, and her eyes glanced at the Baibao inlay cabinet standing opposite the bed with carved string silk, and then took it back as if nothing happened. After that, Gu Qingwan's interest finally improved, and she actually walked around this courtyard again slowly, sent others out of the house, and rested in the house for a while, before returning to the main courtyard against the cold wind.
When I entered the back room, I saw Zheng He still sitting cross-legged on the kang and practicing calligraphy. Other people have little strength, but when they practice calligraphy, they fall a stone on their heads on the barrel of the pen, which seems very hard. Even so, it was a lesson that he never missed every day since he was four years old.
Maybe for King Jing and Zheng Rui, such a thing is not bitter at all. After Concubine De died of illness that year, Prince Jing took Zheng Rui to survive in the deep palace like walking on thin ice, trembling and only wanting to grow up safely, one pretending to be wooden, the other pretending to be crazy and stupid, and the hardships and dangers were not enough to communicate with outsiders.
If it weren't for the fact that Prince Jing got married and left the palace to contact the power of the mother's feet, if it wasn't for the violent death of the former prince, wouldn't Zheng Rui have been "stupid" like this?
"He'er, you were practicing calligraphy when I went out just now, and it's been more than an hour." When Gu Qingwan was roasting the fire outside to drive away the cold on her body, she learned from the mouth of the red brocade that Zheng He had never rested, so she could only hurriedly come in and persuade, "You must know that everything is too much, and you should rest for a while after practicing for half an hour." ”
Zheng He hurriedly wanted to get up and salute, but was stopped by Gu Qingwan: "If there is such a situation in the future, the two of you will persuade it, if the prince does not listen, come to me." ”
These words in the back, although they were said to Hongjin and Biliu, were also said to Zheng He.
"Your imperial aunt is very right."
Gu Qingwan turned her head and just saw Zheng Rui open the curtain and come in. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please read it on m.biquge.info. )
