In the middle of the night, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the north wind was howling and rattling the doors and windows.

The lantern in his hand can almost only illuminate the land of one person, and the road ahead is not clear.

Mama Xi tightened her robe, her ancestors had been authentic northerners for generations, and decades ago, she didn't expect that she would come to such a clammy and cold place.

Even the robes that have been scented with fragrance also have a musty smell, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Mama, how can you go out with such a heavy snow? Look at the snow, it won't stop at night. The maid who spoke, with her neck curled up and her hands curled up in her sleeves, was the eldest maid beside the Wu family, named Hu Ge.

Mama Xi put away the paper bag she was holding in her left hand, "The eldest lady drank the medicine and fell asleep, I heard that the third brother will be back soon, and his spirit is much better." No matter how heavy the snow is, the dregs will always be poured. ”

"I don't feel at ease if I let others do this. In this city, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us here, just want to see the jokes of the big lady! According to me, there is a grandfather of the country, there is a third brother, our eldest lady, the good days are still ahead. ”

Hu Ge smiled, "Mama treats the eldest lady really well." Careful step, mama, this ground is wet and slippery, don't fall. ”

Mama Xi nodded, shook the lantern in her hand, and walked towards the door.

As soon as she left, Hu Ge snorted, stomped the snow on her feet, and went to the back room.

Duchess Huguo is seriously ill, and almost all of the things in this half of the mansion are decided by Mama Xi, she has to come out to pour medicine and slag every night recently, and no one has stopped her along the way.

As soon as she came out of the corner gate, she was poured with a neck of snow, and she shrank again from the cold.

It was already late at night, and the watchman had just left, leaving a long trail of footprints on the road. Xi Mama didn't raise her head, and walked towards the mouth of the alley with one foot deep and one foot shallow against the wind and snow.

She turned a few corners, saw a carriage parked at the end of the road, quickened her pace, and walked over.

"Ahem, ahem......" There was a coughing sound from inside the carriage.

"Why did the lady come here in person tonight? It's freezing cold, and I'm starting to cough again", Mama Xi frowned, saluted the carriage door, and asked softly.

The man in the carriage coughed a few more times.

"It's out of the way, you forgot, I loved snow the most when I was a kid. Ah Niang led me to build a snowman with my brother, I took two longan cores and made the eyes of the snowman, which were black and bright, and they were exceptionally beautiful. ”

"Lately, I've been thinking about my childhood. Alas......" the man in the carriage sighed lightly.

Mama Xi's body shook and knelt down with a plop, "The old slave is useless, he has betrayed the trust of the lady." This first time, when I took a look at the face, I called the people over there to beat him down. ”

"A few days ago, I became famous in World War I, and my prestige in the army skyrocketed. Although he did not hold military power, he ...... But Enke, don't worry, although he studied day and night, it was difficult to climb to the sky, and he couldn't pass the exam. ”

The man in the carriage did not speak.

After a long time, she sighed, "Before he caught the third child, no one thought that he could do it." Hi Mama, let's call a child and deceive. ”

A thin layer of sweat broke out of Mama Xi's spine.

The people in the carriage coughed again, and every time she coughed, Mama Xi's brows furrowed a little, "Girl...... Damn the old slave, lady...... It's cold, so it's better to go back early. ”

"Today, the situation is chaotic, and it is not necessarily that there is no turnaround. The old slave will definitely be able to fulfill the wish of the lady. ”

There was no answer in the carriage, and after a long time he said, "If there is nothing important, I will not come again." ”

Mama Xi's expression froze, "Don't worry, lady." ”

There was no sound in the carriage, a white hand stretched out, and Mama Xi respectfully handed over the paper bag in her sleeve. The hand took the paper bag, turned his head and handed out a small porcelain bottle.

Xi Mama accepted the porcelain vase without changing her face, put it in her arms, and watched the carriage leave.

The wind and snow were really big, and Mama Xi wiped her face, and even her eyebrows were full of ice ballast, but she still didn't turn her back and let the wind and snow hit her face.

It wasn't until the carriage was completely gone that she turned around and walked towards the Huguo Mansion with her neck bent.

"Why are you at the corner gate today? What about Mrs. Qian? Mama shook the lantern and stomped her feet.

"That lazy woman, I'm afraid of the cold. Bought me wine and went to sleep by myself. There is an ice cellar in my room, and there is no warm-hearted person, so I don't come here, and the charcoal fire can't be burned yet! ”

"Mama, there are so many beautiful sisters in the big lady's house, you can say yes for me!"

Mama Xi glanced at the doorkeeper, "As long as you pour yellow soup every day, which girl can look at you." ”

The man guarding the door was immediately unconvinced, "Mama said, the people in that room are all serious people." They don't look down on me, I don't look down on them, who doesn't know, but anything that looks better is called the second son......"

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Mama Xi, "A few taels of yellow soup went down to the stomach, and I couldn't even find the north, what maggots were chewing in the dog's mouth." If you don't wake up, go and roll in the snow, and you'll know how serious it is. ”

The gatekeeper grabbed a handful of snow and pasted it in his face.

"It's my mouth that owes, Mama spared me this time, but I can't say it outside. By the way, you go to pour the dregs, the one in your family has come to look for you, and look at the one who is in a hurry and roars, like something. ”

"I don't know when you'll come back, I don't dare to keep her, but she won't go. I told her to go to the corridor at the Moon Gate to hide from the snow. ”

When Mama Xi heard this, she looked around and slapped the gatekeeper in the head, "You monkey grandson, if it weren't for your good car, I would have kicked you out." That place ......"

The gatekeeper rubbed his head and said nonchalantly, "No one in the house knows, and the ghosts in that place won't go." Mama, hurry up, otherwise a good little girl will freeze into an ice lump. ”

As she spoke, she took out a small piece of silver from her sleeve pocket, stuffed it into the gatekeeper, and walked towards the moon gate in three steps and two steps.

He was right, in this mansion, the place where ghosts won't go is the Moon Gate. Because the second son has been singing there for a while. He's grumpy now, who would dare to go there and touch his brow?

Because she was in a hurry, when she arrived at the Moon Gate, Mama Xi already felt that the soles of her feet were hot, "Zhilan? ”

She squinted her eyes and beckoned through the dense snow to the figure standing in the corridor.

Chen Wangshu turned his head and smiled at Mama Xi, "It's freezing, do you want to go to my place with Zhilan to drink a cup of hot tea?" ”
