There is a goose feather snow in the capital every New Year's Festival.

This year's snow began on the 29th of the lunar month, and it has been falling all the time, and it has not stopped.

Wu Shi was worried that Diancui was afraid of the cold, and as early as before the moon arrived, she had people burn braziers with silver charcoal in the corners of her house.

I don't know if it's because this person is a young lady, or because of the strange medicines that Guo Lao gave her every day, in short, Diancui feels that this body is becoming more and more squeamish, afraid of cold and pain, and has become more and more of a delicate lady.

Gui Lao Ye and Gui Zhongqing returned to their hometown in Nanyang County a few days ago, in order to worship their ancestors.

"Dad and second brother are back today, but this heavy snow, the road must be difficult to walk." Diancui looked at the goose feather snow outside, and muttered with her chin propped up.

"Miss, don't worry, the second young master and Tong Li beside him will have some punches and kicks, and they will be fine." Qiu Yue comforted.

"Yes, yes, miss, don't worry." Ruohe added a piece of silver charcoal to the charcoal basin.

"Sister Ruohe isn't worried about Brother Tong?" It was Xin'er who spoke, Diancui pity her for having no support in the capital, and many of the people in the shop had returned to their hometowns for the New Year, so they took her back to the house, anyway, now that Yin Chang and his eldest brother are studying outside, and the two of them will not meet for a while.

As soon as Ruohe heard that Xin'er's maid dared to tease her, she stepped forward to scratch her face, so frightened that Xin'er hurriedly hid behind Dongxue.

Diancui watched them fight for a while, and the worry in her heart diluted a lot.

Unexpectedly, in the evening, there was no movement at the gate of the homecoming, and Wu couldn't sit still, so he waited at the door with Diancui.

If it is according to the practice of previous years, they will end the ancestor worship over there early this morning, and rush back, from Nanyang to the capital is only two hours of driving, although it is snowing heavily, the road is not icy, and then three or four hours slower should also arrive.

Seeing that it was dark, five or six hours had passed, and she had not yet returned, and even the old lady was alarmed. The family is all women, and it is inevitable that they will be nervous and anxious.

The snow is still falling, because it is the New Year's Festival, some shops in the capital are closed, the lanterns are pitiful, and the outside is dark and rumbling, and the Wu family is becoming more and more weak and panicked.

"Madam, let's go back and drink hot tea when it's cold outside, your cough has not been good, be careful of typhoid fever again." Grandma Lu looked worriedly at Wu, who was standing motionless.

"Look, are there a few figures there?" Diancui shouted loudly.

"Du Xiaozhu, you should quickly let people go up and have a look." The figure walked staggeringly, and Dian Cuixin was about to mention his throat, and hurriedly ordered Du Xiaozhu.

"Go, go......" Wu also urged.

"Yes! Madame, Mademoiselle. Du Xiaozhu led a few small people in the house and ran over quickly.

"Miss, it's the second young master!" Du Xiaozhu shouted.

A few little guys helped Gui Zhongqing, who had been embarrassed all his life, to the gate of the mansion.

"What happened? How can you be so embarrassed? Where's your daddy? Wu stepped forward and asked anxiously.

"I was startled in the middle of the road, and my father's foot was injured, but fortunately, there was no big problem...... "As he was saying, the old man behind him was carried by a person who couldn't see his face clearly, and walked over step by step.

Tong Li, who was staggering aside, looked very injured, and the blood on his body soaked out of his cotton clothes and became icy.

"Daddy!" Diancui ran over and looked anxiously at the old man on the man's back.

"Daddy is fine, my son doesn't have to worry, thanks to this little brother, he carried me back all the way." Return to the old man.

Only then did the man raise his head, but his face was covered with sweat in the ice and snow, and he was stunned when he saw the dot cui.

"Brother Li?" It turned out to be Li Qingshan.

"Dotted Cui...... Miss. Li Qingshan should have heard about it a long time ago, and muttered at this time.

"Why is Brother Li here?" Shouldn't he be in Qianjia Village, how did he come to the capital?

"I ......" Li Qingshan's words were not finished.

"Yo, I didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance at this time." Gui Chuyu was wearing a thick fox fur, holding a hot soup woman in his hand, looking Li Qingshan up and down with a smile, and said with a smile.

Li Qingshan was looked down upon by her, his face turned red, and he didn't dare to talk anymore.

"Miss, Li Gongzi, let's go in quickly, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it when you come into the house." Grandma Lu obviously didn't like to deal with the yin and yang weird Gui Chuyu, so she stepped forward and diverted the conversation. Wu's side also ordered someone to hurry up and call the doctor.

Ruohe looked at Tong Li, who was covered in blood, and almost didn't pout, and forced him to hold back his tears and follow Dian Cui into the house.

"I don't know if the second brother is injured, Ruohe, you go to the second brother's side and help Yurou and the others take care of one or two." Diancui followed Wu into the east courtyard, and told Ruohe, she was pitying Ruohe, but the big girl Qiuyue Dongxue beside her frowned frequently.

"It's Miss, Ruohe will go." Ruohe endured the panic and didn't look back, and they went to the west courtyard with Gui Zhongqing.

When the doctor arrived, he saw that the injury on the old man's body was fine, but it was indeed just a foot bone, so he put a few plasters on it, and then took some decoction to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, and he could be cured after ten days and a half months.

Then he looked at Li Qingshandao, who was sitting on one side and was uneasy, but this little brother was a little lossy, and it seemed that he had been hungry for a long time, and because of the strength of the angel in the heavy snow, he was injured at all, and he needed to eat some nourishing medicine and food.

"If the doctor needs any medicine, just prescribe it, this little brother is kind to my family, and his body naturally has to be taken care of." Wu Shi hurriedly spoke.

The doctor nodded slightly, and although he said that he had a lot of money in his waist when he returned home, he was not the one who forgot his righteousness, although he went to prescribe a prescription.

"Master, what happened, how did you startle the horse and get injured?" Wu asked puzzled.

The old man sighed: "It's not because the snow is too big to see clearly, but we are afraid that you two will be in a hurry, so we hurried away." When I went, I remembered that there was a big rock, but when I came back, I bumped into it, and somehow sprinkled it with wolf blood, and the horse smelled the wolf's blood and ran like crazy. Thanks to Tong Li jumping into the carriage and tying the rope to tie the horse, the injury on his body was touched on the ground when he was dragged by the horse, otherwise he would not have been able to return home today......"

Gui Lao said, the people below were all shocked, not only could they not go home, it was simply dangerous!

"What about Brother Li? Why did you meet Brother Li again? Dian Cui asked puzzled.

"It turns out that my son and this little brother have known each other for a long time, and it is also fate. After the three of us got out of the carriage, we walked all the way back with difficulty, and at this time there was not even a figure to be seen on the road, let alone the carriage on the road, and if we went on all the way, we would have to freeze. Fortunately, he met this little brother, and he kindly gave all the hot water in his skin to his father, and walked all the way back with his father on his back. Master Gui said slowly.

When Diancui heard this, he quickly got up and bowed to Li Qingshan, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Brother Li." ”

"No...... politely, "Now Diancui has become a young lady, and her appearance and bearing have changed greatly, Li Qingshan has never dared to look up at her."

"Why is Brother Li not in Qianjia Village, this is looking at the New Year's Festival...... Silversmith Li, Master Yue, and Master Qian, are they okay? Although Dian Cui was grateful that he had carried his father back, he still had a question to ask.

"This ...... Master Yue, she and Master Qian are no longer in my workshop, and my workshop is gone...... Li Qingshan muttered: "As soon as the official road is repaired, the village will be lively, and there are many people from other towns doing business there, including the business of this jewelry head...... I thought about coming out to find a way to live, and walked all the way to the capital, where everything in the capital was expensive, and the entanglements on my body were ......."

I thought that the business of Li Jiayin, which opened the official road, could be brought back to life, but I didn't expect it to collapse in less than a year. At the same time, I didn't expect to be so coincidental that I could meet Li Qingshan again in the capital.

"Okay, the matter is also clear, Yinshuang, you go to the west courtyard to clean up another courtyard, settle Li Gongzi well, and then send a maid over to serve the decoction." Wu Shi Lisuo commanded.

"Never!" Unexpectedly, Li Qingshan refused, and said abruptly: "But I can't afford to be a lady like this, if I hadn't met Master Gui, Qingshan would have frozen to death outside tonight." If Madame can take in the mansion and send an errand to eat, Aoyama will be grateful. ”

Wu didn't expect Li Qingshan to be a backbone, and he was also sensible and upright, and his speech was even more coherent and clear, which couldn't help but make people look up to this young man from the countryside.

"Well, if you don't want to go to the West Courtyard, then go to the front yard to live first, and be with Tong Li, you two already know each other, so you can be regarded as having a care." Wu Shi Dao.

Li Qingshan was overjoyed, and he didn't dare to look at the delicate flowers over there, so he lowered his head and hurriedly followed the next person.

"What's going on over there with Tong Li?" Diancui let Qingqing remove her head and face jewelry and clean her face, and asked Ruohe, who had returned late: "But the injury is very serious?" ”

Ruohe's eyes were red, he shook his head, and said, "It's just a skin injury, but there is a lot of blood left ......."

After finishing speaking, he went to take the copper basin and went out to splash water, but who expected that the soles of his feet stumbled and almost fell, and the water in the copper basin was scattered all over the ground.

Dongxue glanced at her coldly and went to clean up.

Ruohe looked at Dongxue's cold eyes, his heart was cold, and he knelt down with a puff and shouted Miss to atone for his sins.

Seeing her like this, Diancui sighed, asked the others to retreat, and only said to the anxious Ruohe: "Tong Li and the second brother are not just scholars, if the second brother takes over the business of returning home in the future, it is inevitable that he will go from all over the world, and Tong Li will be both a right-hand man and a guard." If you can't even stand some skin wounds on him......"

"Miss, don't talk about it...... It's all Ruohe's, it's not. Ruohe was already on his knees and wept silently.

"That's it, I'm afraid you won't listen to what I say, so get up." Dian Cui said helplessly.

Ruohe looked at Diancui with some uneasiness, but Diancui didn't pay attention to her anymore, and only waved her hand to let her go back and rest first.

"Miss, I'll talk about her again!" Qiu Yue frowned and looked at her unrelenting back and said, this Ruohe has completely forgotten her own identity now, no matter how worried she is about Tong Li, she should not forget her duty, and she has not been pointed out to Tong Li yet.

"No need, let her go," Dian Cui said: "Her temperament can't be changed in a sentence or two." ”

"If He is too calm, if he returns to the clan to recognize his relatives after the year, Qiu Yue will follow." Originally, among the maids in this home, she was the closest to Ruohe, although she was only given a second-class position, but the feelings were different, and she always had to follow her when she encountered major events.

But maybe Diancui's identity has changed now, and then standing on a high place to watch, Ruohe can play together as a little sister, but if it comes to her mind and temperament, she is a little worse, especially compared to Qiuyue and Dongxue. Not to mention the autumn moon and winter snow, even compared to Xin'er, Ruohe is also less smart and clever.
