Mingyun didn't return to the banquet after all.

She sat on the stone steps in front of the pavilion, with her knees crossed, and her body was draped in a long thick cloak of light beige, and her head was buttoned with a hood, which was a little large, and it was full of soft cashmere, which almost buried her whole face in it. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she didn't cry anymore, but her nose was still twitching.

Ah Wei squatted next to her, stuffed a warm hand stove into Mingyun's palm, gathered the cloak for her, sighed, her lips moved, and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.

At this time, Luo Ying hurriedly walked over, holding a heavy fire fox Qiu Dayu in her left hand, she stood in the distance, stretched out her head to look at Mingyun's back, sighed helplessly, beckoned to Ah Wei, and made a shushing gesture to her. Luo Ying has a thin figure, a white face, square facial features, and a pair of beautiful eyebrows that are slightly raised, making her look both capable and intelligent but respectful, she is wearing a light brown cotton deep coat today, with a dark blue flower collar edge, and there is not much jewelry on her black hair, only a silver hairpin inlaid with red agate is inserted behind her hair, which makes people look very clean and comfortable.

Ah Wei nodded and responded to Luo Ying's call and walked over quickly.

Luo Ying stuffed the fox fur in her hand into the crook of Ah Wei's arm, frowned and raised her eyebrows and said, "Although Madam said something serious, it won't stop there." You go and put this fox fur on the little master, the illness has only been cured for a few days, but you must not catch the wind and cold again. ”

Ah Wei recognized this fox fur, this fiery red, oily, airtight fur is exactly the coat that Mrs. often wears, which is worth thousands of gold and is an extremely precious thing. Its collar, in particular, was made of a whole fox, a very beautiful red fox, whose head and tail had been preserved intact, and when enclosed like a nimble little red fox around its neck.

Luo Ying continued: "I'm afraid that the little master will be angry, I don't like to listen to what I say, Ah Wei, the little master has always been closer to you, you can take it and wrap it in her." ”

Hearing this, Ah Wei's eyelids blinked, and she smiled and said: "Aunt Luo, I am a slave and maid, but I can't afford to be close, it's just that the little master sees my intentions to serve, and is willing to reward a little face." Madame feels sorry for the little master, how can the slave and maid not know, but this fox fur is so valuable, I am afraid that it will be contaminated with dust later, once it is dirty, Madame will not wear it again. ”

Luo Ying said with a smile: "No matter how valuable this fox fur is, it can't be worth a single hair of our little master, so you can rest assured that you can wrap it in the little master, if it freezes bad, then it really kills you and me." ”

Since Luo Ying said this, Ah Wei took this luxurious fur coat to Mingyun's side without any burden, in fact, according to her thoughts, she couldn't wait to wrap Mingyun with ten layers of quilts, in case the little master was sick again, she really couldn't afford it, and she really served, so she was naturally looking forward to it. She gently wrapped the fox fur around Mingyun's cloak from behind, the fox fur was thick and wide, and it covered Mingyun's whole person tightly at once.

Mingyun looked at the fiery fox fur, and recognized it as his mother's at a glance, and he couldn't tell what it felt in his heart, and he was a little stunned for a while. Mother, is she caring about herself? Mingyun gently touched the slippery fur, which was also stained with the unique fragrance of the night orchid. The knee I just hit is still aching, and the caries still looks like a messy worm. Mingyun didn't have the confidence to answer that question, do you care, Mingyun thought, her mother probably still cares about her. But all the mother's concern is because she really likes it, or is it just because she is the mother's daughter? Her mother always looked at her with displeasure and said that she was like her father everywhere, but she was also her father's daughter, wasn't she?

Luo Ying saw that Mingyun did not resist, and obediently wrapped herself in a fox fur, and her heart was relieved, so she hurriedly replied.

Mingyun hugged his knees, with a wide hat buttoned on his head, his chin resting on the crook of his arm, although he didn't say a word quietly, but tears flowed down his eyes in large pieces. The slender bodies curled up together, looking very pitiful. Obviously born noble, since birth, he can enjoy a privileged life that is never beyond the reach of poor people in their lives, but this prosperous place and rich pile is not a happy town, but just a widow with arsenic added with honey.

A thick, heavy cloud fluttered slowly by the north wind, obscuring the moon and making the night even darker. Without sunlight, the sky suddenly became much colder. After a while, it began to rain lightly.

The snowflakes in the sky were drifting thinly, Ah Wei stood on the side, feeling that the night was getting colder, she sighed into the palm of her hand, rubbed her hands and bent down and said, "The snow is starting to fall heavily, little master, let's go back and avoid the snow." ”

Mingyun suddenly grabbed Ah Wei's hand, felt the coldness of the hand, Mingyun felt sour, frowned, let go of the hands, lifted the wide cloak and hat, stood up and said, "Well, let's go in." She was still wearing the thick, large fox fur with the tail of her cloak already on the ground, and the cloak was very long, which was a little funny to wear, but she did not seem to want to take it off. At the door, she stretched out her hand and opened her palm to pick up the sparse little snowflake, because she had been holding the stove, her palm was warm, and the tiny snowflake fell between her hands, and it melted in an instant, leaving no trace.

At this moment, "Woo-! "Suddenly, a majestic brown-feathered eaglet flew into the air.

The eaglet flew almost straight towards Mingyun, it flew extremely fast, almost straight over, and by the time Mingyun reacted, it had already flown close.

"Ahh Mingyun was taken aback, and his first reaction was to retract his hand, shrug his shoulders, and shrink his neck to hide back.

But the eaglet was too fast, and flew past the tips of her fingers, and the girl and the eagle were so close that Mingyun's wide eyes could clearly see the eagle's black and brown feathers, and its black eyes. Aunt Bai was also startled by the sudden eagle, but she quickly reacted and pounced to try to drive it away. But the eagle seemed to be particularly shrewd, and deftly circled in mid-air before swooping down with great speed. In the next moment, Mingyun only felt a sinking on his left shoulder. She turned her head sharply, and met the sharp eagle eyes.

How to move in this case, Mingyun was a little confused, and for a while, she didn't dare to make a big move, so she stiffened her head back, trying to distance herself from it. Mingyun's eyes were red when she had just cried, her nose was also red, her cheeks were swept by the cold wind, and she was also red, at this time she was like a frightened rabbit, without half of the domineering appearance of the little bully in the past.

The eagle seemed to be a little "bullying the weak and afraid of the hard", fluttered its wings, hissed loudly, stretched its neck forward, and its two sharp claws tightly grasped the red fox on the collar of the fox's fur, and the dark eyes flashed with the "threat" light of protecting food.

Mingyun's eyes were so close to her that she couldn't see anything but a blurry silhouette and a pair of enlarged eagle eyes that were about to ghost. She blinked, her eyes on her neck, stiff to the right, her mouth open in surprise, as if she couldn't imagine why there was an eagle here, and that eagle had landed on her.

Mingyun didn't dare to move, and a group of subordinates didn't dare to move rashly, the eagle's beak was sharp and sharp, in case the master was pecked somewhere, even if they died ten thousand times, they couldn't atone for their sins, and they all looked at each other one by one, and finally turned their eyes to Ah Wei.

But Ah Wei didn't know what to do, the eagle claw firmly grasped the fox fur collar, and she didn't want to fly at all, she didn't go up to catch up, she didn't catch up, she could only stand next to her and stomp her feet.

Mingyun is not a coward, she does a lot of lawless things. She settled down at this point, rolled her eyes, and secretly raised her right hand to grab the eagle.

"Don't move!" Suddenly, a teenager's shout came.

Mingyun's raised right hand heard the sound, this voice was very familiar to her, and she looked in the direction of the sound, and sure enough, it was Ziji, and he was standing diagonally not far away.

"Don't touch it, it will hurt you." Ziji walked down, he raised his left arm, and put the index finger and middle finger of his right hand into a whistle to his mouth, and watched the little eagle whistle.

"Chirp!" The eaglet's wings fluttered a few times in response, but its claws still didn't let go of Mingyun's shoulders, and it seemed to have its own stubbornness.

Ziji frowned, continued to walk forward, and blew again, but this time the whistle was obviously much sharper and longer than the previous one.

When the eaglet heard this whistle, it finally "chirped" twice, spread its wings and flew back, landing on Ziji's left arm.

"It's taking a fancy to the red fox on your cloak." Ziji pinched Li Yu's head punitively with his right palm, but Li Yu turned his head and quickly pecked Ziji's palm, and he inhaled cold air in pain.

Mingyun wiped away the wet tears on the side of his eyes with the palm of his right hand and sniffed.

"Why did you cry like this, if Ah Ming saw it, he would have to laugh at you." Ziji let Li Yu fly to his shoulder.

"He dares!" Mingyun said, she sniffed, cleared her throat again, looked at the little eaglet, she found that the eagle was still staring at the red fox on her shoulder, and couldn't help asking: "You raised this?" What is it looking at? If I had known you had an eagle, I wouldn't have let you have a rabbit. ”

"This is used in the door to communicate, it just flew over this morning, its name is Li Yu, it is very fierce, and it is not obedient. However, I will take good care of the rabbit, and I will not let this little beast peck. Ziji said, and sighed at the place where the palm of his right hand was pecked red, and looked carefully, it had broken a little skin, he sighed, and reluctantly withdrew his palm.

"It's taking a fancy to this red fox around your neck, and it thinks it's real and can be eaten."

"Is it hungry?" Mingyun reached out to touch its feathers, but was stopped by Ziji and said, "Be careful that it hurts you, it even pecks me." It's not hungry, it's just that it's in its nature to hunt. ”

"I'll try, maybe it won't hurt me." Mingyun said, by the way, she took off the heavy fox fur and gave it to Ah Wei.

"Master!" Ah Wei hugged the fox fur and shouted out disapproval at the right time.

"I'll give it a try." Mingyun is actually very stubborn, what she wants to do, persuasion is useless at all, she gently strokes Li Yu's wings with her hand.

Li Yu: "Chirp! She shouted loudly, her wings exploded, and she looked at Mingyun with a fierce face, she was very wary of it, but she felt that it was a little cute, and she reached behind its head and touched it along the fur. Maybe it was because he realized that Mingyun had no malicious intentions, and Li Yu didn't attack her.

"Look, Li Yu won't peck me, you see." The corners of Mingyun's mouth finally smiled, and he kept caressing Li Yu's back along the hair, and Li Yu was no longer as vigilant as just now, and slowly relaxed.

"It looks like it's just going to be in the nest." Ziji was quite helpless. He suddenly lowered his head, looked at Ming Yun carefully, frowned, and asked, "Is the left side of your face a little swollen?" ”

Mingyun paused, then gently grabbed the hair on Li Yu's neck, withdrew his hand, touched his left cheek with the back of his right finger, and said only two words in a low voice: "It's okay." ”
