Chapter 6: Frost Falls
Soon in winter, I took advantage of the plum blossoms in the house to bloom, collected a lot of plum blossoms in the house, washed them with Rui'er, and carefully ground them into powder, made plum blossom wine, and buried them in the ground.
We picked a shady place in the corner of the yard and began to dig, and finally dug a hole after half an hour. Place the jug in the pit and backfill it. By the time it was all over, both of them were out of breath from exhaustion.
"Why do you want to make this wine, it's so troublesome." Rui'er didn't understand what she meant.
I blinked, scraped her nose with my hand, and said, "This is a celebration wine for the young master next year."
"Are there any big things to do next year?"
"Silly girl, you'll know by then!"
Huo Qu will go to the Xiongnu again after the winter, which is a historical record, and this time will also be a big victory, writing a strong stroke for his career as a god of war. I can't tell anyone about these prophets.
Rui'er gently brushed my hand away, jumped away with a smile, and said, "You have mud on your hands, you want to make my face." She left a string of silver bells of laughter and ran away.
I smiled softly and walked to the middle of the courtyard. Suddenly, I felt a little coolness fall to the tip of my nose, and then a little bit or two, and then a wave of it.
I looked up and saw snowflakes falling from the sky, I stretched out my hand, and the snowflakes fell into my palm. The crystal snowflakes didn't have time to imprint, and the breath of winter had already disappeared with the temperature of my palm.
I pulled up the corner of my cloak and danced in the snowflakes. All that was left of the world was a piece of snow white and the red cloak I was wearing.
Long hair fluttering, red veil and clear face, countless snowflakes gently fluttering around me, and the refreshing fragrance of plum blossoms is intoxicating. At this time, I was like a red plum blossom blooming in the heavy snow, spreading out in all directions.
In the snowflakes in the sky, I saw Huo Quzhi's stunned and sluggish expression. He didn't know how long he had been in the snow, and there were traces of winter hidden between the sleeves of his hair.
His obsidian-like dazzling black eyes shone with an awe-inspiring heroic aura, his face carved like a knife was extremely handsome, and his body exuded a powerful king's aura.
He grabbed the Feihong sword at his waist, and the sword was unsheathed! His body is as fast as thunder, like a dragon like water, and he is hearty. The clouds flow smoothly, and the air runs through Changhong. I walked under the locust tree, which was already covered with heavy snow, and watched silently.
Huo Quzhi took off with his sword in the air, and when he turned his eyes, he met my line of sight.
At this moment, my mind flashed back to every moment of being here for more than a year. Comb his hair, dress him, and cook for him. The way he kicked and bowed, the way he rode a horse, and the way he went on a march crossed my mind one by one.
I don't know when Lu Dao has occupied an important place in my heart, and I really only think of him as a child? No, it's not! There was a voice crying out from the bottom of my heart. You refuse to admit it, you refuse to face your true feelings.
I shook my head, trying to shake off all these inexplicable feelings. His eyes followed his sword in the snow, refusing to look away for a moment.
Huo Quzhi took the sword and walked in front of me: "I haven't been so happy for a long time!" ”
I took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He suddenly grabbed my hand and said, "Good news for you, Your Majesty has made me a hussar general today, and you will send me out to fight the Huns again in the spring!" ”
"It's wonderful," I said.
Huo Quzhi grabbed my hand and still didn't let go, but his expression changed when he looked at me. His eyes deepened, and his breathing grew heavier. I noticed his abnormality and tried to pull my hand back, but he held it tightly.
I was looked at unnaturally by him, and slowly my face was covered with a layer of redness, which became redder and redder, and I felt that my face was burning. His face was getting closer and closer, and a faint scent of orchids slowly hit me, and I couldn't help but close my eyes.
At this moment, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and the branch that was crushed with snowflakes was finally overwhelmed and fell into a ball of snow, which happened to hit Huo Quai's head.
We both had snowflakes all over our heads, and when we looked at each other and saw each other's embarrassment, we both laughed.
Frost and snow blow all over the head, and it can be regarded as a white head.
If one day this dream wakes up, we have also been white-headed together.
Soon it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and everyone in the house was decorated with lights, and everyone got a red envelope and smiled. After a hard year, everyone sat around and had a New Year's dinner. Huo Qu went to the palace to greet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for New Year's greetings, but he was not in the house.
After the New Year's dinner, I held a stove in my arms and sat on the steps outside the house to wait for him, and he didn't come back until midnight.
By this time I had fallen asleep against the pillar, and I woke up in a dream to find that I was being held in my arms, and I was about to scream, but I smelled a familiar smell.
Huo Quzhi walked into the house with me in his arms and said, "Frozen to death, right?" How do you fall asleep on the steps? "When I got inside, he lowered me to the ground.
"I'm waiting for you."
He winked at me, took it in his arms, and held his hand into a fist in front of me.
"What is it?"
He turned over his hand and slowly opened his five fingers, only to see a pair of earrings in his palm, a small plum blossom as a pendant, the plum blossom shape is unique, quite exquisite.
"I saw you dancing in the snow that day, like a plum blossom. When I came back today, I went out into the street and saw you, and I thought I was worthy of you, so I bought it as your birthday gift. ”
"My birthday?" I took the earrings from his hand.
"You don't remember? The day you were brought home by me was also the first day of the Lunar New Year. You don't know your birthday, so I'll assume that this day is your birthday. ”
"Can you tell me how I got home with you?"
Huo Quzhi said strangely: "You forgot? ”
I hesitated and said, "I don't remember much about what happened when I was a child. ”
"That's right, you were too young at the time, probably no more than five or six years old! It was also the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it was snowing, so I also entered the palace to greet His Majesty as I did today. On the way home, I saw a woman leading you down the street, and when you reached the middle of the road, she suddenly threw off her hand and ran forward, and soon ran away."
"You ran after the woman, and after a few steps, you fell. You get up and chase again, but the snow and ice are slippery, and you fall down again, and you get up again. In this way, you fall many times and get up many times. You babble so much that you can't speak, and you're standing alone in the street."
"I look at you, and I don't know why I think I look like you." Huo Quzhi paused when he said this, and said for a long time: "Then I'll take you back to the house." ”
When he saved me, he thought of his own background. I was also abandoned by my mother, and his mother couldn't take him back to Chen's Mansion because of his status as an illegitimate child. It turned out that it was the same illness that treated me so well.
I picked up the pair of plum earrings and asked him, "Do they look good?" ”
He nodded.
I smiled lightly and said, "Thank you." After a pause, "It's not just this earring, it's everything, thank you!" ”
Huo Quzhi's face showed an unprecedentedly embarrassed look, this person has never looked at anyone in his eyes, and he would be shy in front of me, it is really unbelievable.
"I'm going to go in seven days!"
I looked up, with an expectant expression, and said, "Do you remember our bet?" ”
"Of course I remember, gentleman."
I cheered, "Great! ”
On the second day, the house began to be busy with Huo Quai's expedition, Rui'er came into the house and saw me polishing my sword, and came forward and said, "I'll do this work!" ”
I shook my head and raised the flying sword, the body of the sword was glowing with cold light, how many Hun enemies died under this sword, and how much blood made this peerless general!
Rui'er was on the side, and said in a daze: "Lan'er, you don't look like a woman at all with a sword!" ”
I smiled faintly and said, "Really?" ”
Rui'er nodded, "I can't remember what you looked like before you spoke, but it's definitely completely different from now, and sometimes I even think you're a different person." Although you also served the young master in the past, it is completely different from the young master who treats you now! ”
I was surprised and asked, "What's the difference?" ”
Rui'er sat down beside me, propped her head with her hands, looked at my face carefully, as if she wanted to see through my face, and said, "Although the young master treated you well in the past, it was just a master-servant relationship. Ever since you spoke, the young master looked at you in a completely different way. Now you are smart, calm, and doing things unexpectedly. ”
I said lightly, "Then which one do you like?" ”
Rui'er thought about it seriously, thought for a long time, and said: "It doesn't matter what I like about you, it's good that the young master likes you now!" ”
I smiled faintly, stopped talking, and continued to wipe Huo Quai's Feihong Sword.
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ hussar general smiled and passed on the sixth word, saying that Liu Che ordered to attack the Xiongnu in order to drive a BMW, so he called Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to discuss the choice of coach.
Wei Qing didn't let go, Huo Quzhi squinted at Liu Che and said, "Uncle is gone, who is accompanying him in the palace, oh no, it's to serve the emperor!" ”
Liu Che smiled evilly, "You kid is really good!" Then there you go! ”
Wei Qing, who was lying on the side, almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, desperately giving Liu Che a look. Huo Quzhi saw the two of them frowning, and seeing that his position as coach was about to be lost, he immediately said: "If you don't let me be the coach, I'll go to the underworld!" ”
Wei Qing was shocked, now that this nephew has not mixed with the underworld, the underworld on the road has already paid protection money to Huo Quai, if he really goes to the underworld, he must not have another Chang'an version 1.1 Huo Haonan?
Liu Che was also shocked, this bastard boy was the master of the underworld protection fee, so he had to agree to let Huo Qubing be the coach at the moment.
