In the blink of an eye, there was light snow, and the weather became more and more cold and gloomy. This morning, some snow began to fall, and it was covered with a thin layer on the ground, and in a short time, it melted away in the water. Hengbo wrapped in a fluffy little jacket, opened the curtain and walked in, "The girl is going to go to the yard for a walk, and Mother Cheng is making rice dumplings in front." ”

Song Yansheng was idle and bored, so he wrapped himself in a newly made white fox fur jacket and went out with Hengbo to see. When I got to the front yard, many people gathered around to help. There are those who boil glutinous rice, those who pound rice with strength, and those who cut dried fruits and sprinkle dried fruits, and they are busy in full swing. The nurse hugged Brother Jiu'er and watched from the side, Xiao Jiu had never seen such a scene, staring at a pair of big round eyes and looking east and west curiously.

On the day of light snow, the folk of Beijing have always had the custom of making glutinous rice cakes, which means a good harvest, celebration and reunion. She stepped forward and hugged Brother Jiu'er, watching the girls clean their hands and mix glutinous rice dumplings, the first steamed glutinous rice dumplings over there were snow-white and clear, and a fresh and long glutinous rice fragrance spread from afar.

Xiao Jiu sniffed, dancing greedily, Song Yansheng was so small that he almost couldn't hold him. Hengbo smiled and cut a small piece and brought it over, the milk doll grabbed a piece in his hand, and felt that it was not enough, so he reached out and grabbed it into the bowl.

"I'm going to be a gluttonous cat again." Song Yansheng smiled and scratched Xiao Jiu's nose, hugged him and looked outside for a while before entering the house.

At noon, there was some light snow, she stayed with Brother Jiu'er for a while in Wei Ruixuan, and when she was about to slip away, she was caught by her mother and followed her to learn embroidery.

She pinched the needle and thread, and looked nonchalantly at the orchid plum pattern on the embroidery. Shen lowered his head, and while laying the bottom, he carefully instructed her, where to use what needle angle, where to match what color of silk. She sat by the stove, yawned secretly, and was quietly pushed by the transverse wave next to her.

"Mother, my hands are very clumsy. If you ask me to embroider this, you might as well let me go back and practice a few more calligraphy. ”

Shen Shi knocked her forehead, "Virtue and Ronggong must be learned everywhere." ”

Song Yansheng was worried, but he still lowered his head and embroidered for a morning, embroidering ...... A crooked bluegrass leaf that can't be seen.

She heard Shen sigh.

"Mother, I really don't have any talent in this." She put on a smiling face, "If you want to talk about this embroidery, the seventh sister in Yangzhou is the real ingenuity, I have seen some of her embroidery, it is really fine." You let Ah Hao sit for a day to do this, and the estimated effect is only like this. She gestured to the crooked bluegrass leaves beneath her hand.

Shen sighed again, and saw that she put the needle and thread and wanted to take advantage of her unpreparedness to quickly slip away, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "After saying so much, I just don't want to do it." Don't think about slipping away, no matter what happens today, you have to embroider a pattern. Sitting. ”

Song Yansheng had a bitter face and looked at Hengbo pleadingly.

Hengbo naturally knew that this embroidery was a kind of torture for her girl, so he rolled his eyes and said, "I remember, the girl hasn't gone to the old lady's courtyard to ask for peace today." ”

"Yes, yes, I'm busy watching Cheng's mother make glutinous rice cakes, I'll go now."

"Sit." Shen glanced slightly, "Don't rely on the old lady to hurt you, let her press me, I will talk about the old lady." ”

"Mother......

Song Yansheng pinched the needle corner, and Bai Shengsheng's face was wrinkled. She resigned herself to her fate and continued to dismantle the stitches and embroider the leaves, her legs were numb, and she was only half of the embroidery. At this time, a voice came from outside the warm curtain: "Second lady, the second girl is here." ”

Song Yansheng's eyes lit up.

Yuan Ying went to Lucui Mountain outside Beijing last month to learn art, and it is said that the master is a martial arts master on the rivers and lakes, although he has retired, but his reputation is still there. She had been studying there for a while, and the master saw that she was a good seedling, and she grasped it tightly, and Lu Cuishan was quite a distance away from Beijing, so when Song Yansheng returned to Beijing at that time, Yuan Ying didn't have time to come back to find her.

When the concierge boy came in with Yuan Ying, she was covered in wind and snow, and before anyone arrived in front of her, she heard her clear laughter, "Oh, Little Liu, I miss me!" ”

Shen glanced at Song Yansheng, who had escaped the embroidery, so he had to put down the needle and thread, and got up to greet him.

"Mrs. Shen, Kang'an." Yuan Ying's salute is also a martial artist's fist-hugging style, which is decent, but it makes Shen can't help laughing, "Little county lord, come in quickly and warm up." ”

"Good!" She answered with kindness and walked inside. Song Yansheng was busy cleaning up the unfinished embroidery with Hengbo, and he really didn't want Yuan Ying to see it.

"I didn't bother you, did I?" Yuan Ying walked over and exclaimed, "Oh, Xiaoliu, are you embroidering?" I'll see, this ...... The reeds are really good. ”

Song Yan glanced at her faintly, "This is Lan Ye." ”

“…… Hehehe. As soon as Hengbo brought her tea, Yuan Ying choked on it, and immediately smirked twice to cover up the past.

Shen supported his forehead and asked people to put the embroidery frame back away. Song Yansheng took advantage of this time and secretly leaned over to her, "Second girl, you came at the right time." If you hadn't come today, I wouldn't have been able to hold chopsticks for a day. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Ying hid in a place with her and snickered.

"Little county lord, I haven't seen you for many days, you look at it, and your stature is much taller." After Shen Shi looked at it, he smiled and pulled her to sit down and said, "It's really worthy of being Jiangmen's daughter, this kind of body and temperament is very heroic." ”

"Because of my martial arts training, I eat more than ordinary girls, and when I eat more, I will naturally grow faster." Yuan Ying replied with a smile, and then looked at Song Yansheng beside her, "The six girls are getting better and better-looking, just like the people in the painting." ”

There is no mother who doesn't like to hear such words, Shen Shi smiled and took her hand, "Ah Hao's food is not small, I have eaten everything, but this head has not grown a few points." You said that the person in the painting can't be the fat doll in the New Year's painting, right? ”

"Mother!" Song Yansheng was dissatisfied, "I'm so old, don't always treat me as a child." ”

Yuan Ying listened to the last sentence and choked on another sip of tea. I don't think I think it's a bit of a thing. Song Yansheng's facial features are delicate, soft and cute, and her white and moist face is jade-like.

"Where is the sixth girl? I think it's just right. Besides, the matter of being tall is early and late, and it is not in a hurry. ”

Shen liked Yuan Ying's hearty temperament, and after a few words, he went to the small kitchen to prepare their tea and fruit snacks himself. There were only them left in the house, Song Yansheng chatted with her for a few words, and then heard her ask, "I heard my eldest brother say that there is a lot of chaos in Jiangnan, and you have come back all the way?" ”

"Thanks to the blessings of His Royal Highness Six, it can be regarded as a thrilling situation." She told her about the assassination of the ferry on the day she returned to Beijing, and Yuan Ying frowned when she heard it, "The Xiao family is the only one who looks forward to the horse, and Xiao Changyuan is even more ruthless like cold iron." It's also annoying, Xiao Changying was suspicious when she was in Beijing, and she changed to Jiangnan, and her half-brother is not a good stubble. The Xiao family, a brother and sister, has never been a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

"You have a problem with them." In her impression, the Yuan family and the Xiao family did not have a head-to-head confrontation, at least on the surface, both of them were hairpins in Beijing, a Zhenguo Mansion, and an old Jing'an General's Mansion, and they were the best among the military generals, and they were even more colleagues in the court.

"I admire General Xiao, he is the iron backbone of the older generation, and he is the meritorious achievement of fighting on the battlefield. But now the Xiao family is full of moths and scoundrels, how old is Old Man Xiao, he still has to hold on to the door. Once there is no him, the entire Xiao Mansion will collapse. ”

"I remember that your grandfather and General Xiao went to the battlefield together to kill the enemy."

Yuan Ying thought of this, nodded, and frowned even tighter, "That's true." At the beginning, my grandfather was in charge, and the Xiao family was the deputy, so they could cooperate on the battlefield, but when they changed to the court, it was not the case. ”

This Song Yansheng knew that the Tao was different, so he naturally parted ways.

"General Xiao was born in cloth, and he relied on his deceased wife back then, and his wife was a well-known family in Beijing, and she was backed by the power of the Lou family. It can be said that Old Man Xiao was able to earn this foundation because of Knowles. ”

If you ask about the largest family in Beijing more than ten years ago, it is Knowles. The Lou family has been honored for several generations, and there have been several generations of Zaifu and several generations of queens. Today's Queen Mother, Queen Wan Yi in the Qizhang period, is from the Lou family.

"However, the Xiao family is now a true Three Emperors Party." Whether in the past life or now, the Xiao family has always stood on the side of the third son. In the previous life, because of the dragon's work, at the beginning of the new dynasty, it became one of the top families in Beijing.

"Although it is true that good birds choose trees to perch, it is also true that they turn their backs on the Lord." Yuan Ying shook his head, "The old general has given the battlefield for half his life, but his children and grandchildren are profit-seeking, ungrateful, and disgraceful. What makes me even more ironic is that although Knowles is not as good as before, it still has the scenery it once had. The Xiao family actually chose to surrender to the third son of the emperor, and they are really good at picking backers. The third son of the emperor is raised by the queen and is backed by the power of the Pan family, which is ...... Scold. ”

As I said earlier, there are three major forces in the DPRK and China. Holy Lord, Queen and Queen Mother. The queen is from the Pan family, and this family is also a wonder, you can see it just by looking at Pan Zongjiang. To put it mildly, the Pan family and the Wu family were brought together, and they were supported by the Lou family, but now they have become enemies with the same fire. There are all kinds of old cases in it, although no one dares to mention it today, but the Jingmen family doesn't know any of them.

The two of them have deeply implemented what it means to be the supreme interest, and nothing is worth mentioning in the face of interests.

"The queen and the queen mother have been fighting for all these years, and every time I enter the palace, I get tired of watching."

Song Yan smiled. There are no eternal enemies, no matter how fierce the fight is in ordinary times, under a big case involving one's own interests like the Jiangnan Yan case, can't you only have no choice but to plan to cooperate?
