Chapter 829: The Ice Lake Incident
A heavy snow fell one after another, turning Chang'an into a snowy world overnight.
Today is the tenth day, Guo Song did not go to the official room, but in his own study to enjoy the jade and read the book, the fire in the charcoal basin is burning, there is a small circle iron shelf for making tea, directly on the charcoal stove, there is a clay pot on the circle iron frame, the milk tea inside is boiling gurgling, and the air is filled with a strong smell of milk.
This is a habit that Guo Song has developed over the years, he likes to make both sencha and rich milk tea, which is mostly when receiving guests or with his family, and milk tea often appears when he is alone.
Guo Song took out a bamboo cup, which is also his tradition, drinking milk tea with a bamboo cup, he poured a steaming cup of milk tea, and walked to the window with a bamboo cup.
He could see that in front of him was a crystal like a mirror-like ice lake, the ice was at least two feet thick, there were many palace maids playing on the ice, there was a kind of skating shoes in Chang'an, made of wood chips, like wearing a pair of wooden shoes, and at the bottom were two slightly curved long boards, polished to be extremely smooth, similar to the current sled.
Each of the dozen ladies wore a pair of these skates on the ice, some as dexterous as fish, others as clumsy as penguins, and each wearing a thick winter coat.
At this time, Guo Song saw two women in red, supporting each other and stumbling on the lake.
Guo Song recognized at a glance that it was Liu Caichun and her personal maid Xiao Radishes, both of whom were Jiangnan women, probably skating for the first time, and after watching for a while, he saw Liu Caichun fall on his back facing the sky, he couldn't hold back any longer, put down the bamboo cup, took out a pair of ice boots from the cabinet and went downstairs.
It was the first time Liu Caichun had seen the lake freeze thickly when she grew so big, and although her hometown occasionally froze in winter, it was all thin ice, and the boat broke as soon as it left.
She watched the palace maid skating, and her childlike innocence was unbearable, so she borrowed two pairs of wooden skates and went up to the lake with the maid.
"Girl, beware! Watch out! Ahh
The maid little radish pulled Liu Caichun to stand unsteadily, and the two screamed at the same time and fell together.
"It's all your fault, watch out for something, I'm walking well......"
Liu Caichun smiled and was about to get up, but she suddenly saw a pair of thick and powerful hands appear in front of her.
As soon as she looked up, she saw King Jin coming to her side at some point, looking at her with a smile.
Liu Caichun's face flushed, but she instinctively held his arm and stood up with her strength, and Guo Song pulled the maid up again.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Liu Caichun lowered his head a little embarrassed and said, "The first time I played ice skating, it made His Highness smile." ”
"It's okay, you usually fall, and if you fall for more than a dozen times, you will slowly slip."
Liu Caichun lowered his head, but found that Guo Song's skates were different from himself, they were actually made of brass, very short, and shining golden in the sun. ”
"Huh! His Highness's skates are different from ours! ”
"This is my own drawing, and then find a craftsman to customize, the three of them and Xiaowei, Jincheng also have, this year to make a pair for Yan'er, by the way, I also made a pair for you, it will be there in two days."
"Do I have that too?" Liu Caichun asked with surprise and joy.
Guo Song nodded with a smile, handed her his arm and said, "Come on!" I'll teach you how to skate and hold my arm. ”
There was an order in his tone that could not be refused, Liu Caichun hesitated, but still gently put the jade hand on his arm.
"This won't work, hurry up!"
Liu Caichun had to grab his arm, "And then?" She asked, blushing.
Then the body was half-squatting, like me, leaning forward steadily, Guo Song made a posture, Liu Caichun was very smart, and immediately learned.
"Hold on, follow me!"
Guo Song slid lightly and slid up on the ice, Liu Caichun's body slid on the ice, she was so nervous that she stiffened, suddenly screamed, her body fell backwards, but this time she didn't fall, Guo Song grabbed her waist and stabilized her.
"Scared the hell out of me!"
Liu Caichun patted his chest, glanced at Guo Song, and said coquettishly: "How can there be a master like you, who doesn't teach others how to move under your feet." ”
Guo Song said apologetically: "Actually, it's like walking, walking while slipping, I'll still hold your hand!" Otherwise, you won't get the hang of it."
Guo Song held her hand, fortunately, Liu Caichun was wearing thin cloth gloves, which was not too embarrassing, but even so, her face was still red to the root of her ears, and her heart was pounding, but there was never a young person of the opposite sex holding her hand.
"It's okay, I'll slow down a little bit, you paddle slowly, right! That's it, don't stop, relax, don't get nervous! ”
Guo Song is indeed an excellent skating coach, he held Liu Caichun's hand and controlled the balance of the two, Liu Caichun actually skated, she giggled happily.
As soon as she turned around, she saw that a palace maid was also teaching Xiao Radish to skate, she was immediately relieved, and slowly followed Guo Song's rhythm, the speed increased slightly, she experienced the fun of skating, and her pretty face bloomed like a peach blossom with excitement.
Liu Caichun didn't know that upstairs in the distance, Xue Tao and Dugu Youlan were sitting on the pavilion platform, watching them from afar!
"Husband will really seize the opportunity!" Dugu Youlan saw the two holding hands on the ice, and said slightly sourly.
"It's cold outside, let's go inside!" Xue Tao smiled faintly.
"Alright! Out of sight, out of mind. ”
Although Dugu Youlan knew the eldest sister's arrangement, she was not as indifferent as Xue Tao, she was very uncomfortable watching her husband teach other women to skate.
But it is impossible for her to rush over angrily to denounce, Xue Tao has already communicated with her, if Liu Caichun does not enter the door, it will be the daughters of the Pei family, the Cui family, and the Lu family who enter the door, and Dugu Youlan is even more unwilling.
So the sourness in my heart is sour, as long as I can't see it, forget it.
On the ice, Liu Caichun has gradually found her senses, she can already skate alone for a short while, but very slowly.
"Let's speed it up!"
Guo Song took her hand and sped up, the speed was too fast, Liu Caichun was a little scared, "Your Highness, slow down!" ”
"It's okay, I'm here!"
As soon as Guo Song's words fell, a dark shadow came from in front of them. The ground swept by, Liu Caichun couldn't control her body, she screamed, she felt that she was going to fall, she instinctively hugged Guo Song.
Guo Song was also out of balance, his body was still at high speed, he reacted very quickly, and pulled Liu Caichun above his body, but he himself fell to the ground heavily, and his body slid out more than ten feet on the ice.
Liu Caichun lay on Guo Song's body, hugging his body tightly, and his face was so frightened that he lost his face.
"Your Highness, what was it just now? A black shadow flickered. She asked, with a palpitation.
Guo Song gently stroked her green silk and said with a smile: "It's a flat-haired beast I raised, I haven't seen it for a long time, it came over to say hello." ”
"Is it an eagle?" Liu Caichun asked again.
Guo Song saw that her pretty face was as white as porcelain, which could be broken by blowing, a pair of bright eyes like jewels, and plump and soft red lips, which made Guo Song's heart flutter, and his eyes became hot.
"Ahh
Liu Caichun reacted and found that she was lying on Guo Song's body, she was suddenly very shy, and hurriedly wanted to get up, but Guo Song hugged her and kissed her heavily on the red lips.
Liu Caichun was caught off guard, and was suddenly blocked by the man in front of her, she wanted to push Guo Song away, but she was weak, at this time, Guo Weiwei's shout suddenly came from afar, "Master, where are you?" ”
"Let go of me!"
Liu Caichun struggled to stand up, Guo Song let go of her, and Liu Caichun realized that the man in front of him had violated him.
"How can you—" She was angry and annoyed, and desperately wiped her lips twice with her sleeve.
Guo Song's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said lightly: "Miss Liu, I'm sorry, I lost my temper just now." ”
At this time, Guo Weiwei ran up panting, "Master, did you fall just now?" ”
"Hmmm! I accidentally fell a little. ”
"I was looking for you everywhere, and the little radish said you were here, so I rushed over."
Guo Weiwei found out that her father had also fallen, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her father, Guo Song got up and waved his hand, "You take care of Master, I'll go back!" ”
He suddenly felt a hot pain in his left thigh, and he didn't say hello to Liu Caichun, turned around and limped away.
Liu Caichun saw that Guo Song saw blood on her legs, she remembered that Guo Song protected herself just now, and suddenly felt a little remorseful in her heart, her lips moved, but she couldn't open her mouth, and watched Guo Song walk away.......
Guo Song returned to the study, the blood had soaked the entire pants, he carefully took off his pants, and found that a one-foot-long cut had been made on the outside of his thigh, the hole was very deep, it should be something sharp on the ice, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
At this time, there was a rush of running outside, Xue Tao rushed into her husband's study, she just heard her daughter say that her father seemed to be injured, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly ran over.
"Husband, how are you .......?"
Xue Tao saw that the flesh and blood on her husband's legs were blurred, and she covered her mouth in fright, "I'll go find the imperial doctor!" ”
She turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Guo Song stopped her, his leg cramped in pain, and now the top priority was to stop the bleeding.
"You bring me the medicine box in the cabinet next to you."
Xue Tao hurriedly found a medicine box, and at this time, Dugu Youlan also came running, and Xue Tao hurriedly said to her: "Husband is injured, hurry up and ask the imperial doctor!" ”
Dugu Youlan turned around and ran out, Guo Song took the medicine box and found out the hemostatic paste from it, this was originally the secret system of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, the hemostasis has a miraculous effect, it is called Huilong ointment, Guo Song has been promoted in the army, each soldier is equipped with a box, and it has a very simple name, called hemostatic ointment.
Guo Song opened the box, dug out a ball of ointment with his hand, and applied it evenly to the wound.
"I'll do it!"
Xue Tao took the ointment, and although her legs were weak with fright, she still mustered up the courage to apply the ointment to Guo Song's legs.
Guo Song felt a sense of coolness, extremely comfortable, the pain disappeared, and the bleeding stopped.
"Husband, what's going on?" Xue Tao asked.
"I was skating on the lake, and the fierce man came, and the way of greeting was a bit reckless, and I accidentally fell, and there happened to be a sharp protrusion on the ice, gravel or a branch, etc., and I scratched it directly on the leg."
"Is Caichun injured?" Xue Tao asked.
It turned out that his wife saw it, and Guo Song sighed and said, "She's fine!"
After a pause, Guo Song said again: "If she insists on resigning and going back, don't stop her." ”
