[The cold resigns to the winter snow, and the warmth brings in the spring breeze. 】

Ritsuko stood in front of the table, carrying a pen, but she didn't settle the Zhengdan paper.

"Ritsuko girl, why are you so sullen?"

The voice came from outside the window that Ritsuko had forgotten to close last night, and the pen in her hand shook with her body.

The ink on the tip of the pen happened to drip outside the Zhengdan paper.

Looking up, it was Wen Jinnian's face that appeared outside the window.

"Young Master Wen? Why are you here, scare me. ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, but I couldn't help but come and take a look when I saw the window open here and you standing inside." Wen Jinnian grabbed the window frame with his hand and approached the window, but there was an unapologetic smile on his face.

"It's fine, but it's a steep slope up here, and it's dangerous, so you have to be careful with your step, if you slip down the air, it's not good." Ritsuko put down the pen in his hand and was about to close the window, but Wen Jinnian also cooperated a little further away from the window, "Wen Gongzi, it's cold outside, since you're here, come into the house, I'll open the door for you." ”

"Okay, then it's going to bother the girl."

Tsing Yi disappeared outside the window, and the wisp of black silk blown by the wind gently scratched Ritsuko's fingertips, tickling.

He ...... today Don't have a crown?

"Mother, Gongzi Wen is here!" When walking through the dining hall, Ritsuko looked inside, and in the smoke and moisture, she could vaguely see that Mrs. Nangong was still kneading a dough, probably making some kind of pasta.

From time to time, you can hear the sound of fish jumping out of the tank.

"Gongzi Wen is here? Come on in! Mother is still busy with dinner here, so I'll trouble you to entertain you. ”

"Mother, do you want me to come over and help you later?"

"You still accompany Wen Gongzi, if you come in to help, what if you snub him? Go ahead, it's enough for your mother here. ”

As soon as Ritsuko pushed open the door of the hallway, she could feel a cold wind blowing towards her face, making her shiver.

"Ritsuko-sama!" Wen Jinnian was already standing outside the door, his long hair was scattered, and only the ends of his hair were loosely tied.

The three or two strands of hair that fell gently swayed on his chest with the wind, adding a touch of elegance to him.

"Come in, Mr. Wen." Ritsuko pushed the door open a little so that Wen Jinnian could be welcomed into the room with the cloth bag he was carrying.

It's just that her eyes are very curious about the cloth bag, "Young Master Wen, this is the ...... in your hand"

"That's what you say." Wen Jinnian gently put the cloth bag on the ground and untied it, "This firecracker, I saw it when I went down the mountain yesterday, otherwise I would have thought that it would be a little less lively this night." ”

"Firecrackers......" Ritsuko leaned down to look at the red cylinders lying quietly in the cloth bag, small, as if they were not quite the same as the red strings drawn in the drawing book, "Is this the firecrackers?" This is the first time I've seen a firecracker, and I wonder if it looks like a flower in a drawing book when it burns? ”

"The girl will find out soon." Wen Jinnian smiled and tied up the cloth bag and put it aside, "Speaking of which, is Miss Ritsuzi writing something?" ”

"Hmm...... I thought about writing a couplet to stick outside the house, but I couldn't think of anything satisfying, and I always felt that something was missing. ”

"If Miss Ritsuko doesn't dislike it, can you let me help the girl think about it together?"

"That boy has really helped me a lot, please come with me."

"I didn't expect there to be so many books by Ritsuko girl." Wen Jinnian followed Ritsuko into the back room, and was attracted by the whole row of large bookshelves crammed with books by the wall, and he could hardly take his eyes off.

"Most of the books here belong to my father, who also liked to read books when he was alive."

"Your dad ...... too"

"Well, my father passed away when I was very young, and he used to be the prefectural magistrate of Snow Township."

"I'm sorry, but I didn't know your dad had passed away......"

"It's okay, it's been so many years, and I'm almost relieved."

Ritsuko sat down at the table, picked up the pen again, turned her head to Wen Jinnian and smiled softly, "Compared to this, Wen Gongzi might as well come together to help me think about what kind of couplet to write, right?" ”

……

When night fell, Ritsuko, who had already finished dinner, sat in the corridor with Wen Jinnian, chatting about something going on in the north and south, and the hot tea was still emitting white smoke not far behind the two.

Ten years ago, the snow that could not be touched by shaking your feet is now very short.

The backyard is still the same backyard, but it looks like it's not as big as it used to be.

"Almost."

Wen Jinnian got up and swept away the snow in the clearing, and stood the small firecrackers in the cloth bag neatly on the somewhat wet ground.

A stick of incense lit all the firecrackers.

"It's really like a flower."

The fireworks exploded in front of Ritsuko's eyes, and even if the sound sounded deafening at first, it didn't affect her mood at the moment.

Wen Jinnian turned his head sideways to look at Ritsuko beside him, and his focused appearance slowly opened in his eyes.

Fascinated.

His mouth opened slightly, but the sound he made was instantly buried by the sound of firecrackers.

No matter how good Ritsuko's ears are, he can't hear what he is saying in the sound of firecrackers.

She turned her head and quietly looked back at Wen Jinnian's lips, trying to see his next words, but the ending was still unsuccessful, and she was always a little regretful.

Only in her eyes, there were fireworks like sparkling stars......

"Ritsuko, thank you, it's great to be with you for the New Year."
