Chapter 25: Searching for Someone in the Snow (Add a Bookcase)
Zhao Hongxing, who got up early in the morning, looked at the heavy snow outside the window in amazement, and had the urge to go back to the bed to continue sleeping.
But unfortunately, there was a morning class today, and he had to go without anyone to inform him.
Yesterday, Zhao Hongxing didn't catch anyone lazy, because he was called up early in the morning by the person sent by Zhao Zhongling to deliver the message, and asked him to quickly pack up and eat breakfast and go to the imperial study to report.
With the fluttering little snowflakes, Zhao Hongxing trembled all the way, and trekked to the imperial study to take a look, good guy, I want to play mahjong when I get people together.
The game of playing mahjong was not brought by Zhao Hongxing, it is a game that exists in the folk of Yanfeng itself. However, the rules of the game are a little different from what Zhao Hongxing played in his previous life, a bit like a combination of "Japanese mahjong" and Sichuan mahjong rules. Because it was too cumbersome, Zhao Hongxing simply simplified the mahjong rules at home.
Unexpectedly, the simplified rules made the rest of the royal family interested in playing mahjong, as long as it was in time for Xiu Mu and everyone was fine, they would get together and play two rounds.
What Zhao Hongxing didn't expect was that Zhao Zhongling actually pulled Le Aya over.
After being in contact with this little girl for a while, Zhao Hongxing found that she was still more recognizable, and when she was hostile to herself, Zhao Hongxing got along with her for half a month before she could chat together.
This suddenly pulled Le Aya into an unfamiliar crowd, and then accumulated pressure on her.
However, Zhao Zhongling's ability to entertain people really impressed Zhao Hongxing, and he didn't know how Zhao Zhongling did it, so he fooled Le Aya into this group of people in a daze.
Seeing that Le Aya seemed to be enjoying it, Zhao Hongxing didn't say anything. Maybe Zhao Zhongling specially prepared it, and specially chose everyone to eat barbecue together at noon.
In Zhao Hongxing's social experience in his previous life, barbecue was a very suitable way to socialize. Yan Feng does not have this way of eating, or rather, there is no more "advanced" way of eating like modern people. The choice of the location of the meat, the marinating of the meat, as well as various dipping sauces and equipment suitable for barbecue, these are all specially made by Zhao Hongxing later.
Zhao Hongxing's main purpose in using these things is just because he likes to eat barbecue. But I didn't expect Zhao Zhongling to be very clever enough to realize the advantage of being able to easily shorten the distance between people on the barbecue table, so he arranged Le Aya.
Zhao Zhongling's arrangement was very fruitful, and Le Aya completely let down her restrained guard, although she rarely spoke, a smile and a smile naturally appeared on her face.
Especially in the afternoon, after the snow stopped, when everyone had a snowball fight, Le Aya, who was having a great time, laughed loudly. Usually soft and glutinous, even the voice that scares people is very imposing, and laughing out loud is like a small bell.
"Childe?" Hongyi saw Zhao Hongxing stunned at the door for a long time, and asked.
"Ah......" Zhao Hongxing came back to his senses, now is not the time to think about Le Aya, and he will soon go to the Qinxue Hall in the goose feather snow.
I don't know if the people in the yard of Le Aya's girl can be ready to go out in the snow, Zhao Hongxing first summed it up in his heart, and then felt that he was a little troubled, and his mother was still around, so how could he worry about it.
"Let's go. Zhao Hongxing said reluctantly, raising his legs and walking into the snow.
In fact, this road is not as difficult as Zhao Hongxing imagined, although the snow is a little bigger, but the wind is not strong, and the snow is falling, and the temperature is not very low. There are still many attendants on several main roads in the palace who are clearing up the snow, so even if the snow is falling, the road is not too difficult to walk.
He's mostly lazy.
Finally walked to the door of the Qinxue Palace, Zhao Hongxing hurriedly slipped in. As he expected, Le Aya hadn't arrived yet, and neither had the gentleman who taught.
It is estimated that it has not yet arrived, Zhao Hongxing shook off the snow on the cotton robe, continued to drape it on himself, and then came to his seat and lay down.
The diligent hall was baked warm by the brazier, and he didn't know when the teaching Taishi and Le Aya would come, so he simply took advantage of this effort to make up for sleep.
Hongyi was not surprised, Zhao Hongxing was very sleepy, he also knew, seeing him lying down, Hongyi got up again and closed the doors and windows well, so as not to let the wind blow in outside.
I don't know how long I slept, in short, Zhao Hongxing felt that he slept very soundly, and after waking up, the sleepy-eyed Zhao Hongxing also chirped.
"When is this all about? Zhao Hongxing asked Hongyi, leaning on the edge of the stove, reading a book while watching the fire.
"Childe, it stands to reason that this morning's class is almost halfway over. Hongyi put down the book, came to Zhao Hongxing's side, and covered the cotton robe that had slipped off his body again, "I see that no one is coming, and you are sleeping well, so I didn't disturb you." ”
"Thank you. Zhao Hongxing rubbed his face and sobered up a little. What is this messenger doing, if there is no master to give a lecture, come and tell me, there are only two students in total, why did you forget me.
Just as Zhao Hongxing was pondering, the door of the Qinxue Hall was slammed open, and a figure rushed in with the cold outside.
"Why are you still here!?" The person who slammed the door was Zhao Zhongling.
To Zhao Hongxing's surprise, his fifth sister, who was giggling all day long, had a very uneasy expression on his face at this moment.
"Fifth princess, if you have something to say, sit down and speak slowly. Zhao Zhongling's cotton robe and hat were covered with snowflakes, which were slowly turning into small droplets.
"What are you talking about slowly, you don't know if Aya'er is gone!" Zhao Zhongling said very anxiously.
"What's that?" Zhao Hongxing was startled, "When did this happen?"
"Last night...... Maybe it's the middle of the night, anyway, when the attendant woke her up early this morning, she found that the person was not in the room. Zhao Zhongling explained.
"What's this, what's the reason for this?" Zhao Hongxing didn't understand, why did the little girl who was fine yesterday suddenly disappear?
"Alas......" Zhao Zhongling sighed, "Yesterday morning, Princess Rong suddenly set off to go back, and she didn't say goodbye to Aya'er. ”
"......" Zhao Hongxing said in his heart, why is this mother's heart so ruthless, just leave?
Listening to Zhao Zhongling's explanation, Zhao Hongxing probably understood that Le Aya finally had a happy day yesterday, but after a while, she found that her mother didn't even give her a chance to be on the side of the road, so she left secretly.
Zhao Hongxing guessed that Rong Changxuan couldn't bear to be sad when he saw Le Aya and her separate, so he secretly left while Le Aya was not around. However, Zhao Hongxing wondered, Your Royal Highness the Princess, didn't you notice it, and your girl's fragile little heart couldn't withstand your sudden destruction?
If nothing else, Le Aya's mentality must have collapsed again.
Zhao Hongxing suddenly felt that his head hurt.
"Have you been looking for a long time?" Zhao Hongxing asked Zhao Zhongling.
"It's not!" Zhao Zhongling stomped his feet and said, "The palace has turned around, and I haven't looked at Aya'er's shadow." Your eldest brother and third brother have already mounted their horses and led people to the capital to look for them. ”
The little girl who may have disappeared in the middle of the night last night has not found a shadow until now. It's been snowing with goose feathers, where does this girl fall if it's really frozen......
Zhao Hongxing hurriedly put away the years that he was thinking in the worst direction, and began to think about where Le Aya could go.
"Sister Aya'er must still be in Miyagi. After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Hongxing definitely came to a conclusion. To be honest, this Miyagi person who has no skills, it's really hard to say that you can get out by sneaking out. When the eldest prince climbed over the palace wall and ran out secretly in the middle of the night, wasn't he also held back by the people in the search camp.
"However, the palace has already searched for it. Zhao Zhongling said with some disbelieving.
Zhao Zhongling may not know, but in fact, there are many places in this palace city where people can be hidden. Of course, these are some of the most cramped, very large places that people have a hard time getting in and finding.
These places were found by Zhao Hongxing and Hongyi when they had nothing to do before, and there were about two or three places in the palace. If the premise that Le Aya didn't run out of Miyagi is true, it must be that this little girl has also found such a place to hide.
"Fifth sister, don't panic, Hongyi and I will go and look for another round. Zhao Hongxing pressed Zhao Zhongling on the seat and poured her a cup of hot water.
"Wait a while, Hongyi and I will be back soon. After appeasing Zhao Zhongling, Zhao Hongxing and Hongyi put on cotton robes and ran into the heavy snow outside.
When he came outside, Zhao Hongxing decided to go with Hongyi separately to find it, so that it could be faster. And Hongyi also agreed to Zhao Hongxing's proposal, and the two of them immediately divided into two ways and ran to the nearest place to start looking for it first.
Along the way, he climbed over several courtyard walls, and Zhao Hongxing came to the first place where he could hide people. This is a drum tower outside the main hall, and on top of the drum tower, there is a position that can accommodate a small child squatting inside.
In fact, Zhao Hongxing felt that Le Aya should not be here, because there were no stairs to go up to this drum tower, and Zhao Hongxing also inadvertently discovered this place in the year when he first awakened his bloodline, relying on his good physical fitness and experiencing the pleasure of flying eaves and walking on the wall that can only be found in the game.
With a slight jump, Zhao Hongxing landed on the roof of the drum tower, Le Aya was indeed not here, and the place that could accommodate people was already filled with thick snow.
In a rigorous state of mind, Zhao Hongxing also took two handfuls in the snowdrift, and after confirming that Le Aya was not buried in the snow here, he jumped down and continued to run to the next place where people might be hidden.
After looking for two places in a row, he didn't find Le Aya's shadow, and Zhao Hongxing soon came to the last place he knew where he could hide people.
What if Le Aya is not here? Zhao Hongxing was a little nervous, he was a little unsure whether Le Aya was still in this palace city. If she wasn't here, where would she be? Could it be that this little girl found a hiding place in the middle of the night that they didn't even know?
Or, Le Aya is indeed here, but she has been without heating facilities for most of the day in the heavy snow, and this girl is still ......
Zhao Hongxing shook his head and stopped his thoughts.
The last place where people can hide is on a rockery by the lake. It may be that when building this mountain, the workers were a little negligent, so there was a hole in the middle of the rockery that was not very large, and from this hole, it was a small space that could accommodate two or three people to lie down.
However, this small space is not sealed, and there are also four or five fist-sized holes connected to the outside. Zhao Hongxing estimated that this place must not be too warm in this weather.
Jumping on the rockery, Zhao Hongxing found the small hole with a familiar car and stuck his head into it first.
Well, the temperature is ok, not as low as expected, but it's not a temperature that someone will be fine with staying here for a long time.
Zhao Hongxing took a closer look through the light from the small hole the size of a fist, and found a figure huddled here.
Zhao Hongxing's heart suddenly pinched.
"Le Aya, is Le Aya you!"
Zhao Hongxing hurriedly got into it and called softly.
