Through the small hole in the window screen, Mingyun squinted one eye and looked inside. At this sight, she was startled, and immediately squatted down, her heart beating wildly. Mother and General Xia were sitting not far from the window at this time.

After a while, when her mood had calmed down, she quietly poked out half of her head and continued to peek through the small hole. Fortunately, the direction of the mother's case is facing away from him, as long as he doesn't look back carefully, he shouldn't be discovered. I saw that in the guest room, there were more than ten musicians playing the most popular tunes at the moment, two rows of dancers in pale pink slender dance clothes were constantly writhing with the music during the banquet, and the mother and General Xia were sitting together, enjoying the song and dance, and talking about the wine. Xia Qian was born as a military general, and his voice was loud, even if he didn't deliberately speak loudly, Mingyun still heard it very clearly. However, my mother's voice was too small and indistinct, and even if I listened very carefully, I couldn't hear it completely.

Mother kept talking to General Xia with her head sideways, pushing and changing glasses with each other while talking, the dishes on the table were almost eaten, and the cups and plates were in a mess, only the wine in the jug was still steaming with hot wine.

Mingyun only felt that the two of them were sitting too close to each other at the banquet, and she bit her lower lip tightly.

At this time, in the house, Fan Miaoshu and Xia Qian were talking about the past. Sometimes they raise their glasses and drink, and sometimes they sigh lowly, as if they have endless words and endless old stories.

"That year I saw a tree of red plum blossoms in the Weiwang Palace, thinking that you must like it, so I secretly broke a branch and raised it, and walked very carefully along the way, I was afraid that it would not survive, and when I returned to Xinjiang, I waited hard for it to take root, and I immediately took it to you." Xia Qian said and chuckled softly.

Fan Miaoshu supported her head with the back of her left hand, shook the wine in the cup with her right hand, she was slightly drunk, her cheeks were dyed with a thin layer of red, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of inexplicable bright smiles, she slowly said: "Well, when the plum blossom was sent, it was a dead branch, growing alone in a flower pot." She smiled and continued: "Later, I plucked a gardenia in front of my window, and removed your poor little red plum, and I wondered every day when it would bloom, and wait, wait, wait, it was still a little tall, and there was no movement, and I called in the best gardener in the city to take care of it day and night, and at last it bloomed a few little flowers in the winter of the following year." It's a pity that before it could flourish, I was married to Gongzi Chengyi, went to Quwo, and became Gongzi's wife. As she spoke, Fan Miaoshu snorted coldly, raised her head and drained the wine in her glass.

"Who is rare that Mrs. Son!" Fan Miaoshu put down the wine glass heavily, and said excitedly.

This sound was quite loud, and it was smashing into Mingyun's ears, but the person who spoke didn't know that there was an ear outside the window at this time.

Fan Miaoshu clenched the empty wine glass, laughed lowly, and said, "Look at what I have been forced to do now, no matter what I do, I was forced by Ji Chengyi." Thinking about the couple who have been here for more than ten years is a joke, he hates me to death, and I hate him to death. ”

Fan Miaoshu poured wine, drank wine, poured wine, and drank wine cup by cup, Xia Qian pressed her cup, shook her head at her and said, "I can't drink anymore." ”

Fan Miaoshu smiled with drunkenness: "Do you know, now the plum tree in front of the window of Miaoyuan is already very tall, and the flowers are luxuriant. ”

Fan Miaoshu may indeed be drunk, and she is no longer low. Mingyun heard every sentence clearly. Her hands clenched into fists under the window, clutching the clothes above her knees.

"The plum blossom in front of my window, I broke the most beautiful branch that day and asked Luo Ying to give it to you."

"A few bones also opened this morning, I picked a few beautiful ones and drew them, remember, I used to draw them like this."

"Yin Yin's forehead is full of rouge flowers, like red plums blooming in the snow. Such a cheesy poem is only what you can think of. ”

As she spoke, Fan Miaoshu actually cried, she grabbed the placket of Xia's front coat, cried on his chest, and said, "I only have you, only you can help me, I only have you now, please help me." ”

Xia Qian was a little overwhelmed, hesitated for a moment, and gently patted Shi Miaoshu's back with his hand. His eyes were lowered, looking at Shi Miaoshu who was crying and shaking, and his heart was very distressed and sour. In her memory, she has always been bright and charming, and now! His fists tightened, they were big hands that had slashed countless enemies with sharp blades, knuckles were distinct, green tendons burst out, and those fists were full of strength and rage. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Ashu, I will always be on your side. After that, the two were silent for a while.

Perhaps in order to make Fan Miaoshu happy, Xia Qian remembered that there was a red plum forest outside.

He helped Fan Miaoshu wipe away her tears and said, "Ashu, don't be sad anymore." When I came in, I saw that there were red plums here—"

After Mingyun heard the word Hongmei, his eyes suddenly widened. She had to leave this place immediately, and she must not be discovered by her mother. The back was the woods, and she bent down and ran as fast as she could into the dense plum blossom forest. There are hundreds of plum trees in the forest, and the plum blossoms are full of branches, and they are very densely planted. Mingyun knew that he would definitely not be able to run out of this plum garden, so he simply found a place with dense plum trees and lay down in the snow. Looking at it from a distance, you shouldn't be able to see her.

The snow was cold and biting, and Mingyun didn't take long for his cold teeth to tremble. She lay on her stomach in the snow for a long time for fear of being discovered. Her hands were red from the cold, and she kept snorting into her palms, and at this time, she felt that her hands were trembling.

"Huh-", "Whew--". With every trembling breath she exhaled, a cloud of white gas rose in the air.

Sure enough, the mother resented the father. She had always known that her parents were not at odds, but what she guessed in her heart was not the same as hearing and witnessing it with her own ears. She didn't know what kind of story was hidden behind her mother's sentence "He hated me to death, and I hated him to death", and what her mother was crying and begging General Xia to help her do. She understands very well that the marriage of the family has always been a bargaining chip, even if the husband and wife have no feelings, it is a big deal to respect each other as guests. What happened to make the mother, who had always been cold, cry out loud.

She didn't understand any of that.

Slowly, Mingyun curled up in the snow. Suddenly, she felt something hot and fluffy in her hand. She was startled, and shrank for a moment, and when she saw that it was a little rabbit. Snow-white hair, and snow white one color.

At this time, Mingyun saw a pair of bony hands holding the rabbit's ears and lifting the rabbit up.

"You, are you alright?" It was a teenager's voice, and the voice was cold and clear.

Mingyun raised his eyes and looked over, only to see a young man standing next to her at some point, looking handsome and cold, his eyes were dark and deep, he was holding a rabbit in one hand, frowning and looking at himself, with a little surprise in his eyes.

Mingyun's teeth trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "I'm fine." ”

The young man frowned again and said, "Are you going to lie down like this all the time, can you get up?" ”

Mingyun hurriedly stiffened his frozen hands and feet. She tried, but she couldn't get up because she was so stiff.

The young man stretched out his hand towards Mingyun and said, "I'll pull you?" ”

Mingyun was so cold at the moment that it was very difficult to raise his hand quickly.

The young man hesitated for a moment, reached out and grabbed Mingyun's wrist, and dragged the person up from the snow with all his might.

After Mingyun got up, he leaned against a plum blossom tree and slowed down for a while, then he came back and said, "Thank you." She looked at the rabbit in the boy's hand and asked, "This rabbit is yours?" ”

The young man smiled, looked at her and said, "No, it's my junior brother." The white pompom was lost, and he was very sad in a hurry, but fortunately he found it. ”

Mingyun asked, "It's called a white pom-pom?" ”

The boy let out a soft "um".

"It's a fitting name." Mingyun said. She was also looking at the young man at this time, and always felt that he was very familiar, especially the face in front of her, familiar but unfamiliar, as if she had seen it, but also seemed to have never seen it.

Mingyun frowned, feeling that he was probably frozen, and some delusions might be normal. For a while, she didn't know what she was saying except to thank her, and she didn't dare to venture out of the forest for the time being, what if she happened to run into her mother's people.

She was speechless for a moment, and the boy didn't seem to like to talk, but he just stood there and didn't leave. The scene was a little awkward for a while.

At this moment, Mingyun heard the voice of Cicada Yue.

"Master, master!" Cicada Moon trotted all the way over. She saw the young man give him a wary look, and then held Mingyun. She looked at Mingyun's pale face and frozen blue lips, and was shocked, and said, "Master, are you okay?" How did this get covered in snow? Ah, master, why are your hands so cold? ”

Mingyun was still shivering cold, and said, "I'm fine, it's just a little cold, and I'll be fine after a while." ”

"This gentleman just helped me, thank you so much." Mingyun said to Cicada Yue.

"It's just a casual thing, not a thank you." The boy smiled faintly.

Cicada Yue said: "Thank you for this gentleman's help, if you are offended, please forgive me." ”

The boy smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.

Cicada Yue was afraid that Mingyun would suffer from the cold, so she saluted the young man and then helped Mingyun with stiff steps to walk back, and said as she walked: "Master, you are too messy, you must drink some ginger soup first when you go back." What if you're sick outside? ”

"You won't get sick, don't worry, just forget about the ginger soup." What Mingyun hates the most is the spicy taste of ginger soup.

"No, you must drink it, otherwise your subordinates will learn from those doctors and risk death to admonish them." Cicada Moon Road.

"Let's talk about it again."

"Master, ginger soup, there's no need to discuss, you must drink it." Cicada Moon insisted.

The young man looked at the back of Mingyun's master and servant leaving, smiled slightly, and said softly: "I actually saw it again." He touched the rabbit's smooth white fur and said to the rabbit, "You also feel clever, don't you?" ”

Rabbits naturally can't speak.

The boy rubbed the rabbit's head and smiled.
