Early in the morning, the whole family of the Jin Wangfu went out, and today Guo Song's second daughter Guo Yan'er put on skates for the first time, and with the enthusiastic support of her sister Guo Weiwei, she walked a little bit on the ice like a clumsy little penguin, and her mother Dugu Youlan followed her, carefully guarding her.

Many palace maids also changed into wooden skates and skated on the ice, which was full of people like small black dots.

Not far away, Guo Song held Liu Caichun's hand, and also slid slowly on the ice, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was still very open, and it was normal for men and women to hold hands on specific occasions, such as singing, that is, young men and women holding hands, dancing and singing in a circle, and the joy was extraordinary.

Ice skating also belongs to this special occasion, Guo Song held Liu Caichun's hand and kept teaching her to maintain balance, today Guo Song taught very seriously, Liu Caichun learned very seriously, she was engrossed and experienced the subtleties of body balance.

"Tilt your feet a little outward, yes! That's it. ”

Guo Song saw that she skated well, so he smiled and said, "I'll let go of your hand and try it!" ”

"No! No way! ”

Liu Caichun shouted nervously: "Don't let go of me, you will definitely wrestle." ”

Guo Song smiled and continued to clasp her hand, "We passed through the island, and they may be in the Yingtai Pavilion." ”

Liu Caichun blushed and nodded, and Guo Song took her hand and slowly turned around and slid towards the island.

The island in the middle of the lake is very large, at least covers an area of dozens of acres, the island is covered with all kinds of strange flowers and stones, a number of exquisite pavilions and pavilions are distributed among them, the morning mist is hazy, here is like Penglai fairyland.

An artificial canal was dug in the middle of the island and meandered around the island, creating the atmosphere of a small river.

The island was quiet and there was no one, so Guo Song slowed down again and turned into two people walking slowly on the ice.

"This kind of island is luxuriously furnished, have you noticed?" Guo Song asked with a smile.

Liu Caichun nodded slightly, she had already discovered that there were many strange stones from Taihu Lake transported from her hometown, dotted on both sides of the riverbank.

"Your Highness, your wounds.... Is it better? Liu Caichun asked in a low voice.

"A little flesh injury, it's completely healed, but I didn't get your consent last time, I'm a little reckless......."

Liu Caichun's face turned red, she lowered her head and whispered: "That was my first time, I... I shouldn't have been so angry. ”

Guo Song gently hugged her to his chest and said softly: "I know that you have been protecting yourself, I don't want to hurt you, I just want to protect you." ”

Liu Caichunqiao's face turned even redder, but she didn't push Guo Song away, she mustered up the courage and whispered: "Actually, I don't dislike Your Highness, it's just... It's just that I need time. ”

Guo Song kissed her on the forehead and said with a smile: "Eat together tomorrow morning, you are not allowed to avoid me anymore." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Caichun's voice is like a mosquito.

Guo Song didn't go any further, he took Liu Caichun's hand and said with a smile: "You can't stay on the ice for too long, let's go into the room and roast the fire!" ”

Liu Caichun nodded obediently.

"You hold my shoulder!" Guo Song squatted down and untied the rope from her skate boots.

Liu Caichun held Guo Song's broad shoulders, and when she saw him carefully untying the rope on her ice boots, a trace of sweet happiness suddenly welled up in her heart, and she was filled with a kind of joy of being protected.

At this time, two maids appeared on the dockside, curtsied, and said, "Your Highness, the princess asked us to take Miss Liu to Yingtai Pavilion to rest." ”

Guo Song nodded, "You go with them first!" I'll be right away. ”

The two maids helped Liu Caichun ashore, and Liu Caichun turned around and glanced at Guo Song affectionately, his eyes were rolling, and his bright eyes were full of joy.

Guo Song smiled slightly, and then she followed the maid to walk quickly.

At this time, there were a few small black dots in the back, and in the middle was a little penguin, staggering, Guo Song slid forward and hugged Guo Yan'er.

"Little guy, is it cold?" Guo Song asked with a smile.

"The geese still have to slip!" Guo Yan'er struggled to get down.

"No way!"

Mother Dugu Youlan said sharply: "You are still too young to stay on the ice for too long, let Daddy hold you." ”

Guo Yan'er was in her father's arms, her mouth pursed, and she was about to cry.

"Yan'er is obedient, Daddy hugs, rest for a while, Daddy teaches you to skate."

"Okay—" Guo Yan'er smiled at this time.

"Daddy, how am I slipping?"

Guo Weiwei wanted to perform in front of her father, she slid a graceful arc, soared into the air, spun in the air, and landed accurately.

"Not bad! Not bad! Who taught you? ”

"Erniang taught me."

"I can't see that Youlan still has this ability." Guo Song gave a thumbs up.

Dugu Youlan's pretty face was hot, she saw her husband teaching Liu Caichun to skate, and she felt a little uncomfortable, so she severely criticized her daughter just now, in fact, with a trace of dissatisfaction with her husband.

At this time, she had already woken up to the fact that she couldn't do this, it would annoy her husband, she quickly put away her emotions, and said with a smile: "I also learned it in Dugu Mansion when I was a child, it is not difficult for people who know martial arts, and my husband should be even more powerful!" ”

"I haven't tried it, I'll try it another day."

"Your Highness!"

In the distance, a maid shouted, "Madame, please go and rest." ”

"Let's go!"

Guo Song hugged his youngest daughter, held his eldest daughter with one hand, Dugu Youlan followed behind, and everyone went ashore to take off their ice boots and walked towards the small building.

The Yingtai Pavilion was as warm as spring, Xue Tao and Zhang Minqiu were already sitting in the room to roast the fire, Zhang Minqiu's son was only in his early years, babbling, lively and naughty.

His milk name is Chu Yi, I'm afraid the origin of this name, except for Guo Song and Zhang Minqiu, no one else knows.

Guo Song led his two daughters into the room, a warm breath came to his face, the two daughters cheered, took off their shoes two or three times, and ran into the room together, squeezing by the brazier.

Guo Song walked in, the room was not big, about thirty square meters, very elegantly arranged, the floor was covered with a thick carpet, and the two large braziers were burning, making the room filled with a faint smell of charcoal, both warm and dry.

Xue Tao and Liu Caichun were sitting cross-legged in front of the brazier chatting, while Zhang Minqiu pulled Dugu Youlan over, and the two of them had a good relationship.

Guo Song suddenly found that he was a little redundant.

"The husband sits down and bakes the fire." Xue Tao said with a smile.

"Forget it, I'll go back first, maybe Pan Changshi and Du Sima will come in the afternoon, and I have to prepare."

Guo Song smiled again and asked, "How will you go back later?" ”

"Of course I went back in a sled, or else?"

Also, Guo Song smiled and nodded, "Then I'll go first." ”

"Wait a minute!"

Xue Tao got up and brought her hot tea to her husband, "Warm up before leaving." ”

Guo Song took the teacup and drank it all, he hugged his fists and saluted everyone, and then turned around and left.

Xue Tao accepted Liu Caichun for another reason, that is, Liu Caichun is good at literature, calligraphy and painting, and also loves to read, and has a common language with her, in contrast, Dugu Youlan's martial spirit is slightly heavier, although she is literate and reads, she is not interested in poetry and painting, and even the jade that Guo Song and his wife have always cherished are only reluctantly accepted, as an ornament in the bookcase, but rarely played.

As for Zhang Minqiu, she was originally Xue Tao's personal maid, even if she was favored by her husband, she couldn't sit on an equal footing in front of Xue Tao, and her personality was a bit similar to Dugu Youlan, plus the two were close to each other in the courtyard where Zhang Ye lived, so the relationship between the two has always been very close.

Liu Caichun's poetry and painting are very good, and he also loves to read, and he also has a collection of thousands of books at home, which is completely a youth version of Xue Tao, and her arrival has made Xue Tao have a like-minded friend.

"You'll have dinner with us later!" Xue Tao said with a smile.

Zhang Minqiu next to him also persuaded: "That's right! Everyone sits together and is lively, on such a cold day, it is strange to eat alone. ”

Liu Caichun had already promised Guo Song before, and she didn't know how to tell Xue Tao about it, but she didn't expect Xue Tao to take the initiative to mention it, so she quickly nodded and agreed.

"Why don't you see the princess go to play on the ice for a while?" Liu Caichun asked with a smile again.

"The cold on the ice is too heavy, I'm not in good shape these days, try to avoid it!"

Xue Tao smiled faintly: "Actually, I don't like skating very much, and I haven't learned it, so if I fall on my back in front of the maids, it will be out of character." ”

Liu Caichun nodded, she could understand that as a princess, she should always pay attention to her dignified appearance.

"Cai Chun, your regular script is good, who did you learn it from? Of course I know it's your master professor, I mean, whose post are you copying? ”

"My master likes Chu Suiliang's words very much, and she has a copy of the Tao Te Ching written by Chu Suiliang, and I have been greatly influenced by it since I was a child."

"Sure enough, it's Chu Suiliang, I also have several volumes of Chu Suiliang and Ouyang Xun's manuscripts there, all of which are from the former palace, I'll show you when I go back."

Liu Caichun was overjoyed, she was able to get a copy of the real handiwork, which was something she never dreamed of!

At this time, a maid said at the door: "Princess Qiyu, lunch time is coming." ”

"Then let's go!"

Xue Tao greeted everyone with a smile, and everyone got up one after another, put on a big hat and walked outside.

There are already two large sleds parked on the pier, which are covered with thick bear skin, the fur is soft, and it is very comfortable and warm.

"Cai Chun, you sit with me." Xue Tao greeted Liu Caichun.

"The princess and Xiaowei together!"

"That's enough for four people!"

Guo Weiwei took Liu Caichun's hand and said with a smile: "Master, sit on it quickly, this sleigh is also very fun!" ”

Liu Caichun had to sit up, everyone got on the sled, the healthy woman who drove the car waved her whip, and the two horses pulled the sled slowly on the ice.
