Ruohong didn't see the two children of the Yang family, so she asked the maid on the side, and the maid said: "They stood here, folded a few plum blossoms, and sent them back by Sister Qiaolian." ”

It's okay to send it back Ruohong looked at Mei Zhishu and they gathered the snow around them in one place, piled up several piles of size, and they didn t know what it looked like.

"Third sister, come here."

Ruolan saw her sister coming, so she beckoned her to come over, Mei Zhishu was busy making a new snowdrift, and she didn't have time to deal with Ruohong.

Ruohong walked up to him and squatted down, "Are you doing a nest?" She asked.

"Not really!"

Ruolan had a really eyeless expression, she stretched out her hand and pointed one by one and told Ruohong, this is the house where the eldest sister lives, that is the second sister's, and Ruohong.

The master of the family has a so-called house, and Mei Zhishu is making a big house, which is the subordinate room where the maid and servant woman live.

These snowdrifts of different sizes reminded Ruohong of the graves on the edge of the mountains and forests, and she couldn't help laughing.

"How can I get in without a door?" She said.

Ruolan was asked, and she looked at the snowdrifts one by one, not knowing how to make a door out of them.

Mei Zhishu was still older, and his head was more lively, but after a little thought, he stretched out a finger and poked a hole in the snowdrift, "Then there will be a door and a window." ”

Saying that, he poked two more holes in the snowdrift, Ruohong laughed when she saw the imagelessness, and she stopped laughing after laughing.

Ruohong took out a handkerchief to wipe the water stains on Ruolan's hands, and also wiped Mei Zhishu clean, not letting them play anymore.

Remembering the era in which she lived, there were countless children's toys, and there were too few types of children's toys in ancient times.

"Alright, you two should go back and see if the handle is frozen." She said.

Ruohong stretched out her hand to pick up Ruolan, beckoned Mei Zhishu to follow, and grabbed Ruolan's hand to hit the snow on the plum branch, causing Ruolan to laugh like a silver bell.

After walking a few steps, Ruohong glanced at the pomegranate without a trace, and made a movement to kick the snow under her feet, so that she could clean up those small snowdrifts.

Those snowdrifts are like graves, which is so unlucky.

Pomegranate was a few steps behind and turned to the back.

Back in the Green Calyx Hall, the maid was already cleaning up the table.

Qiao Lian also helped in the house, and must have returned to Ruoxue and Yang Wanqing, and sent the little young master and young lady of the Yang family back.

Ruoxue asked Ruolan where they had gone, and Ruohong said, "I went to Merlin and saw them playing in the snow, so I called them back." ”

Ruolan pointed to a few maids who came in behind her, and showed off: "We folded a lot of red plums, is my sister optimistic?" ”

"It's not you who folded it, it was the third sister who made the third sister fold it back and insert the bottle." Mei Zhishu said.

"The third sister hugged me and folded, the third sister just didn't hug you." Ruolan is pulling hatred.

Mei Zhishu snorted, "I'm grown up, and I don't need to be hugged." He said.

"Okay, okay, you're all good boys." Ruoxue said.

Ruoxue stopped the two children from teasing their mouths, and asked them to put plum blossoms in a vase and put them on the table to watch.

"What about the Yang sisters?" Ruohong asked, she didn't see them in the house, even her own sisters.

"It's time to change your clothes." Ruoxue said.

Ruohong smiled, it turned out that she had gone to relieve herself.

When the maids cleaned up the table, Ruoxian and the others also came back, she ordered the maids to bring a small square table, and asked people to bring chess, cards, dice and other things to play.

Today is her birthday, and she drank a few more glasses of wine during the banquet, and at this time her face was flushed, and she had a slight sense of alcohol, she happily greeted her cousin Yang Wanqing and touched the dominoes, and asked Ruofeng to accompany the two cousins to roll the dice.

Ruoxue and Ruoxian, Yang Wanqing and Ruofei, the four of them touched the dominoes around a table, and Ruofeng accompanied the other two Yang family ladies, throwing dice and betting on the size.

Ruoxue didn't like to play dominoes, and she couldn't sweep Ruoxian's Yaxing'er, so she patiently played with her.

As soon as they started playing here, Mei Zhiyuan and the others didn't eat anymore, and came around from the Duobao Pavilion to watch them play cards and roll dice.

Mei Zhiyuan stood behind his sister Ruoxian, watching her touch a handful of cards that were not relied on, he pointed out that Ruoxian gave up a few cards in the back, and after a few card changes, the cards in Ruoxian's hand became better.

Mei Zhigao doesn't like to watch people play cards, he thinks it's a game for the elderly, and he doesn't like to play chess, which is too painstaking and takes a long time.

He likes to roll dice, and when the dice are thrown into the bowl, it will cause the surrounding participants to shout loudly, which makes people excited and crazy in the chaotic shouting.

Tao Zhe also likes to roll dice, and he and Mei Zhigao stand behind Ruofeng and a Miss Yang, watching them bet on the size of their bets.

At the beginning, the two Miss Yang won a few taels of silver, and the eyes of the two of them showed a greedy look, and the excited two little faces were red, like prawns that had just come out of the oil pot, completely forgetting that this was in someone else's house.

The two young masters of the Yang family are also people who like dice, they shout and cheer behind their sisters, they will cheer when they win, and they will say a sentence when they lose: "Stinky hands." "I can't wait to roll the dice myself.

Ruofeng's side is the most boiling place in the house, and the shouting is also the loudest, and the voices of men and women are mixed together, which is a bit of a boiling feeling.

On the other side, there was silence and no one spoke.

This table is also a deck of dominoes, Ruohong accompanied Ruolan and Mei Zhishu to use the dominoes to build high, Mei Zhifang was also lying on the table, and he didn't even dare to come out.

There are only a few cards left on the table, and the height of the domino tower is already a foot and a half (50 centimeters), and the danger has not yet fallen.

Ruolan covered her mouth and nose with her hands, for fear that if she panted too much, she would blow down the domino tower.

I don't know when, there are already several little maids here, Tao Zhe and Mei Zhigao don't know when they came, they also stood on the side and watched, worried that if the next domino was put up, the entire domino tower would collapse.

Ruohong picked up the last domino, took a deep breath, raised her hand, held the domino with two fingers, and slowly and gently put it up.

Didn't pour.

Mei Zhifang jumped up and cheered.

and the multitude shall rejoice.

Crash......

The domino tower, which was more than a foot high, fell, and the frightened maids in front of them all took two or three steps back.

Mei Zhigao walked up to Mei Zhifang and knocked on his head.

"Don't blame me, it's her who didn't put it away." Mei Zhifang covered her sore head with both hands and shouted.

"You're lying on the table, and if you don't move, you won't fall." Tao Zhe said.

Ruolan sat quietly for a long time, and at this time she already wanted to sleep, and when she saw the domino tower falling, she pouted and was about to cry.

Ruohong had already seen that she wanted to sleep, and she was going to cry again at this time, so she quickly picked her up and patted her on the back, and coaxed: "Tomorrow, my sister is building a high foundation for Lan'er." ”

"Good ......," she said.

Ruohong stood up and whispered to the maid and Ruoxue that she was going to send Ruolan back to sleep, so she went back first.

Mei Zhishu saw Ruohong going to sleep with his sister, he also said that he wanted to sleep, and followed her and walked outside.

A few maids, such as the orange pomegranate and the little peach, chased after them with cloaks and umbrellas, put the cloaks on them, and walked away in a huddle.

More than half an hour later, Ruoxian's birthday banquet was completely over.

The reason is that the two cousins of the Yang family suddenly had nosebleeds when they were playing dice with Tao Zhe and Mei Zhigao, and the bleeding was unstoppable, so they hurriedly sent them to the front yard and asked the doctor for treatment.

The uncle and mother of the Yang family also took their daughter-in-law to the front yard, and after the doctor's diagnosis, it was said that the two cousins of the Yang family had eaten too many big supplements, so it would be like this, it was not a big deal, just to eat a few days of light food.

The doctor prescribed two doses of the decoction to cool the blood, let them drink it for two days, and they will be fine.

Aunt Yang didn't stay any longer, and took her son, daughter, eldest daughter-in-law and two little grandchildren to go home in a carriage.

When Li Tao came, he saw several carriages parked in front of the gate of Mei's house, and many people were carrying umbrellas to send guests to the carriage.

Mei Zhiyuan was sending Aunt Yang and his cousin and cousin into the car, and when he turned his head, he saw Li Tao with more than a dozen attendants, riding a black healthy horse to their house.

Mei Zhigao, who was standing next to him, saw the flying snow in the vast expanse, Li Tao came on horseback, and he was also shocked in his heart, but he didn't expect the prince of Jin Zhang to really come to the house, didn't he say that he didn't come, why did he come again?

This seems to be a little untrue, he and his uncle were compensated for 1,000 taels of silver, and they were willing to come to the house to make amends, their family's face doesn't seem to be so big, right?!

He bumped Mei Zhiyuan with his arm and whispered, "The prince of Jin Zhang is here, and he came to the house to make amends." ”

Mei Zhiyuan was startled, and hurriedly left the Yang family and walked into the snow, and greeted Li Tao's team with fists and bowed, "The son of the world is in the cold house, it is really a blessing for the family!" He said.

Aunt Yang looked at her daughter and looked back, so she smiled and said, "Don't look at it, it's cold." I told your aunt about your relationship with Zhiyuan, and your aunt has long had the intention of hiring you as a daughter-in-law, but I just feel that Zhiyuan has not yet been admitted to the fame, and I am afraid that I will wronged you.

As soon as I said that your aunt agreed, she will discuss it with your uncle in the evening, and she will soon come to the house to make an appointment. ”

"Ah Niang ......"

Yang Wanqing threw herself into her mother's arms and said shyly: "I didn't look at the eldest cousin, I saw a very imposing son go to the eldest cousin's house, I don't know who the son is." ”

When Aunt Yang heard this, she also lifted the curtain of the car on one side, and saw more than a dozen guards on horseback standing outside the gate of Mei's house, taking the lead alone, turning over and getting down from a horse, and being let by Mei Zhiyuan to go to the door.

Just looking at the black steed, it is not something that ordinary people can have, and the person sitting on it is not an ordinary mortal.

Aunt Yang called a housekeeper and asked him to inquire about the guests who had come to the Mei family, and the housekeeper said yes and turned around and returned to the Mei family.

Li Tao dismounted in front of the gate of Mei's house, looked at Mei Zhiyuan, who was standing in front of him and bowed down, and then glanced at Mei Zhigao who was standing under the umbrella in the distance, and then asked Mei Zhiyuan, "Who are you and what do you call it?" He said.

"In Xia Mei Zhiyuan, please come in the prince." Mei Zhiyuan raised his hand and invited him into the mansion, where the snow was flying was not the place to speak.

"Do you recognize me?" Li Tao asked.

"I don't know, it's my second brother who has seen you." Mei Zhiyuan said, raising his hand to please.

Li Tao smiled and walked in front with his feet raised, with a cowhide horsewhip in his hand, and strode into the gate with meteors under his feet.

Wan Yun followed two steps behind, and walked into the gate not far away, and a dozen guards behind him followed in. Only four horsemen were left outside.

Mei Zhigao didn't dare to squeeze with Wan Yun, watching Mei Zhiyuan catch up and walk on Li Tao's side, leading him to the flower hall, and he slowly followed from afar.

The Yang family's housekeeper watched everyone enter, so he bypassed a few guards to the eaves of the main porch, pulled a familiar doorman, and asked who had just entered.

"Brother Deng Hu, who is that master who went in just now! It was terrifying. He said.

Deng Hu is none other than the family who followed Ruoxue to Maoshan Mountain.

After he came back, he was reprimanded by the steward for not doing things well, and Ruoxue had just come back, and he was not good at beating his mother's board, so he was sent to the concierge as an errand.

Deng Hu stood still with his hands in his hands, moving his body to keep warm, "I don't know what that person does, but I've seen him once." He said.

"Where have you seen it again? Talk to me! He said.

"This ......"

Deng Hu was hesitant, he remembered that the mansion strictly forbade those of them who came back to talk to outsiders about Ruoxue's trip to Maoshan Mountain, and if they were found out, they would inevitably suffer from a meal of flesh and skin.

"I forgot where I met him." Deng Hu said, and then asked him why he went and came back again, and what he did when he came back.

"My wife saw a distinguished person coming to the house, let me ask what a big man is." He said.

Deng Hu stopped moving with his hands and stabbed the family with his elbow, "Why don't you ask them,......" He motioned to him with his chin to ask a few guards standing in the snow watching the horses.

Jiading looked at the few guards standing in the flying snow, but did not dare to go over and talk.

"Who are you Miss Mei?" As Li Tao walked, he raised the horsewhip in his hand and waved it twice, sweeping away the snowflakes falling in front of him, he turned his head to look at Mei Zhiyuan, who was leading the way, and asked.

Mei Zhiyuan raised an arm and pointed out the direction he was going, "This way...... Here, please, it's her eldest brother below, and she's my eldest sister. He said.

"Which room are you from, the third room or the second room?" Li Tao asked again, and his footsteps and the horsewhip in his hand did not stop and walked forward.

"II...... Concubine. He said.

Mei Zhiyuan didn't know why he was asking this? Does it have anything to do with him coming here?

Mei Zhiyuan led Li Tao into the flower hall, Wan Yun followed closely into the hall, and the dozen or so guards behind him also entered the four of them, leaving the guards outside the door.

Li Tao took off the cloak on his body, threw it to Wan Yun behind him, and went straight to the main seat and sat domineeringly, not thinking of himself as an outsider at all.

Wan Yun followed behind and took the cloak, shook off the snow on it, put the cloak on his arm, turned around and walked to Li Tao's side and stood still.

Mei Zhiyuan watched Li Tao sit down on the main seat, and didn't dare to say anything, so he sat down on the chair below.
