It's the winter solstice month, that is, November, Meng Ming's father has returned to Tokyo from his hometown, and now the family is busy planning my wedding with Yuchan. He's relaxed now, and he'll have time to attend some meetings in the next few days. Because it has snowed in the past few days, this is not Yan Shu to hold a literary friend snow appreciation meeting, and invite Meng Ming to participate, the snow appreciation will be in the north of the alum building, the Kaibao Temple at the foot of Yi Mountain, there is a large piece of plum forest outside the temple, and the radius is nearly two miles. The monks of Kaibao Temple also lay paths in it, and built a water pavilion with a platform, which is free for tourists to use, so that visitors can rest their feet. Therefore, over time, it has become a major attraction in Tokyo, a good place to visit plum in the snow, so it is a good place for literati to hold cultural gatherings. Yan Shu sent someone to occupy a place in advance, otherwise it would have been occupied. We are scheduled to start at nine o'clock in the morning.

This place is not far from home, and because it is still snowing, Meng Ming walked over with an umbrella at about two o'clock in the morning. At this time, the sky was still overcast, the clouds seemed to be palpable from the second floor, and the air felt damp and a little clammy and cold. All the whiteness of the heavens and the earth covers the filth of the world. When I arrived at the place, there was a small servant guarding the door, Meng Ming handed him the invitation, pushed the door in, and a brazier was lit in the house, which was osmanthus charcoal, and there was a fragrance of osmanthus flowers. There are three tables in the room, and each table is equipped with the four treasures of the study and a dozen bamboo stools, which are quite well prepared. I heard someone coming, like Yan Shu's voice, after a while, I saw the door open, a cool breeze in front of me, I saw that it was Yan Shu, followed by Chen Zhizhong, the two seemed to be Jiao Bu Meng, Meng Bu Jiao or something, Yan Shu saw Meng Ming and said: "Meng Beihai has arrived, it's very early" I am only sixteen years old this year, so I don't have my own words, and people can't call him by name, people who know Meng Ming call him Meng Beihai, I am Beihai Hou, ancestral home Beihai, but also appropriate. I said forward, "Brother Tong and Brother Zhaoyu are here." Chen Zhizhong's words are well-known, and he said with a smile: "Brother Beihai, it was not easy for you to come, in the four years since you came to Tokyo, it was probably the first time you participated in the cultural meeting, right?" Isn't it the sun coming out of the west?" Meng Ming smiled and said nothing, and then nine more people came one after another, most of whom didn't know each other. However, Wei Zhongping came, or the Shaoyin of Kaifeng Mansion, Meng Ming stepped forward and said: "Brother Yuanhe hasn't seen him for a long time, and he has been fine recently?" Wei Zhongping also came to meet and greet him. Then the literary meeting began, and Yan Shu wrote a poem "More Leaky Son, Snow Hidden Plum":

The snow hides the plum, and the smoke is in the willows. According to the appointment of the last spring. The first goose is sent, and I want to smell the warbler. The green pond is wavy.

Explore the flowers and stay drunk. I remember last year. Calendula wine, jade furnace incense. Let him be red and the sun will grow.

Everyone applauded, and Meng Ming was also impressed. If he didn't plagiarize the works of his predecessors, he would definitely not understand poetry at all, and Meng Ming knew best how many taels of ink he had in his stomach. He stood in front of the window and watched the snow getting heavier and heavier, only to see a woman holding a flower umbrella, walking with broken steps, a long red dress, and no face in sight.

I only heard Yan Shu call him, Meng Ming couldn't drag it out, so he asked him to write a poem, there was no way I wrote a poem "Xuemei": Xuemei was unwilling to fall in spring, and the sao people put aside the pen to comment on the chapter. The plum and snow are three points white, but the snow loses the plum and a piece of fragrance.

The crowd also applauded.

Meng Ming saw that the woman was still in the snow at this time, and he saw the plum blossoms in full bloom, covered by the snow, and the breeze blew and fluttered off, but it also revealed some red from time to time, which still had a unique flavor. Meng Ming also pushed the door out, and the oncoming coolness could make people more sober. Seeing the woman turn to him, Meng Ming stood aside and asked her to pass. The woman looked at Meng Ming, and when he saw that it was Zhao Mingyue, Zhao Mingyue was surprised, and then she was a little thoughtful. I saw her ask, "Lang Jun." It's been a long time, but it's been good lately," her Yurong showed a hint of melancholy again, and then asked: "I heard that Xiao Langjun is going to get married, I don't know whose woman is so lucky!" She looked at Meng Ming with some resentment, and her eyes were a little red. Meng Ming hurriedly asked her: "Lord Mingyue, are you feeling unwell", she shook her head, didn't make a sound, just squatted on the side of the road, not even holding an umbrella. Ren Xue fell on her body, and Meng Ming hurriedly held up an umbrella for her. I saw another woman in a vermilion palace dress from a distance, and said as she walked: "Sister Mingyue is here, your body is not very good, you can't stay in the snow for so long." Zhao Mingyue stood up slowly, she was a little unstable, as if she was about to fall, Meng Ming suddenly supported her. She actually leaned on me, feeling weak and boneless, closed her eyes and didn't speak, Meng Ming hurriedly called the woman who was calling and said, "Lord Mingyue is here, it seems to have fainted, come and take a look." When I saw the woman, she was taken aback, and hurriedly ran over, almost slipping, Meng Ming saw that it was the eldest princess of the Shengguo, and she saw that it was Meng Ming, and then her face sank, and she asked angrily: "Dengzi, why are you here, what did you do to Mingyue?" As soon as Meng Ming heard how he had become a disciple, he hurriedly told him the ins and outs of the matter. The princess still didn't give up: "If you don't come, you won't be like this if you don't see the bright moon." Meng Ming was not happy when he heard it, so he said in a deep voice: "Princess Shenyan, why can't I come here." At this time, I heard Mingyue say: "Sister Princess, don't complain about Meng Langjun, it's all my fault." The princess didn't care about arguing with Meng Ming, so she helped Mingyue away, and when she left, she glared at Meng Ming fiercely, as if she meant to walk and see, but Meng Ming ignored it.

Meng Ming walked into the house, and saw that everyone was probing their brains in front of the door and window, looking like they were watching the excitement, Meng Ming felt a little unhappy. He pushed the door in, and a group of people were squeezing their eyebrows, and Meng Ming was a little angry. Yan Shu said teasingly at this moment: "Brother Beihai, Yanfu is not shallow, there are beautiful women who send newspapers." As soon as Meng Ming told me about the situation, everyone was dumbfounded, looking at me, they were surprised and weird, and so was Yan Shu. Even if Meng Ming was sluggish, he knew that something must be wrong. Meng Ming wanted to ask Yan Shu, but Yan Shu saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Don't ask, I don't know, even if I know, I can't say." Meng Ming was really depressed when he heard it, what kind of person. In the end, Meng Ming ignored them and went home alone. They talked a lot at this time, and one of them said: "Beihai Houdu is sixteen years old, and he doesn't know how to grow up with children, and he doesn't know that Princess Mingyue has a deep love for him, and he doesn't want to think about tea and food because of lovesickness, and he is getting thinner and thinner" and the echo said: "It is in response to Liu Yong's words: I will not regret the gradual widening of the clothes belt, and I will make people haggard for Yi." Finally the crowd departed. Back at home, Meng Ming recalled today's scene and felt that Zhao Mingyue's appearance might be due to him, so he thought it was better to figure it out.
