Gusu in December, snowy in the middle of winter.

Large clumps of goose feathers and snow are like torn flocculents, tearing the heavens and the earth into a vast expanse.

A double-wheeled carriage galloped through the snow, stopped in front of a vermilion lacquer gate, the door plaque was hung high, and the book "Yunjiazhuang" was written in three big characters, the pen was vigorous and strong, and the weather was majestic.

The two boys quickly ran over and opened the door.

The accompanying mother put the footstool under the carriage. Because the snow was fluffy, he pressed hard to confirm that the footstool was placed securely, and then said to the carriage with a smile: "Third Miss, it's here." ”

The curtain is lifted. A maid in a bright blue jacket poked her head out of the car, her chin was pointed, her eyes were lively and smart, and she jumped out of the car lightly: "Third Miss, I am holding you, the snow road is slippery, you watch your step." ”

A slender hand as white as jade stretched out from the carriage and took Xiao Ye's hand.

From the carriage stepped a tall woman. He was about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a snow-white robe, his eyebrows were like smoke, his eyes were like a deep pool, and his skin was almost the same color as his clothes. A black hair hung down long over the waist, thick as splashed ink, black and white contrasted clearly, revealing a coldness that does not eat the fireworks of the world.

Zhao's mother, who was waiting outside the car, hurriedly opened the oil-paper umbrella and covered the woman's head.

The housekeeper Yao Qingmu hurriedly greeted him, with a smile on his face: "The third lady has worked hard all the way. When the lord received the letter, he was looking forward to it early in the morning, but he could be regarded as looking forward to the third lady's return. ”

He was followed by a cyan soft sedan chair, and he had already spoken: "The wind and snow are heavy, please ask the third lady to get on the sedan chair to avoid the wind." ”

The woman who was called the third lady helped Xiao Ye's hand to get out of the car, and in the face of everyone's enthusiasm, her expression was just faint, and she said, "No need, I walk to breathe." ”

Yao Qingmu said with a smile: "It's okay, it just so happens that the plum blossoms in the village are blooming today, and it is also a beautiful thing to step on the snow and enjoy the flowers." With a look, the sedan chair man lifted the soft sedan chair away and followed the group not far away.

Mu Dian Ke raised his eyes and looked at the Yunjiazhuang, only to see pavilions and pavilions, and the long corridor was circuitous, which was really a home of wealth and splendor. The eaves in the distance, and the trees in the vicinity are all covered with thick snow, piling up jade, which is a unique scene.

In a vast white, the red plum bushes are blooming, the fire is red like the glow, at a glance, the colors are distinct, the big brush is like splashing, the beauty is magnificent and thrilling.

Xiao Ye said with a smile: "Third Miss doesn't know, the plum blossoms in our village are among the best in Gusu City, and every year at this time, the ladies and ladies in the city rush to come to pay their respects, just to take a look at the plum blossoms in our village." ”

Before Mu Dian Ke came, he deliberately learned about the various customs of Gusu.

I heard that the people here are both men and women who are very elegant, and often get together to cook wine, taste tea, sing, dance and drink. In the spring, the peach and plum are appreciated in spring, the lotus is enjoyed by boating in summer, and the chrysanthemum is fought in autumn.

Mu Dianke is a killer who has been running horses and bending bows in the desert for many years, and he really has no interest in the leisure of this kind of boudoir woman. Glancing at the red plum blossoms in full bloom in the distance, he said casually: "This flower is indeed blooming well." ”

Xiao Ye said with a smile: "If the third lady likes plum blossoms, let's go back to the Qimei Garden and take a look, the flowers there are the best blooming in our village." ”

Yao Qingmu said with a smile: "The master said that the third lady is not in good health, so he asked someone to move the best plum trees in the Qimei Garden to Qingpingju a month ago. The old slave went to see it in the morning, and it will be just right. The third lady just doesn't go out, and she can sit in the warm pavilion and enjoy the flowers. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Dian didn't want to be too cold, and said with a smile: "Steward Yao has a heart." ”

The master didn't care, but a few little maids with bags behind him couldn't stop being happy.

Yun Xiaoyi, the owner of Yunjiazhuang, has a total of two sons and three daughters. The eldest son Yun Zheng, the second son Yun Feng, as well as the eldest lady Yun Yang, and the second lady Yun Jin were all born by Jiang Xinlan, the wife of the main room.

And the third lady Yunlin, who had just returned to the village, was born to a concubine.

It is said that it was due to the lack of in the mother's womb, congenital weakness, and almost died, and then by chance, he was taken to Lin Wushan by the Qingyang Taoist who was proficient in medical skills, and grew up to 17 years old safely.

Two months ago, Yun Xiaoyi sent Mother Zhao and Xiao Ye to take a few of their maids to pick up Yunlin back.

Yunlin's biological mother, Aunt Han, was very favored by Yun Xiaoyi before her death, Yun Xiaoyi loved the house and Wu, and was very attentive to this daughter who had not seen her for more than ten years. Not only did they send their own personal guards to protect them all the way, but the servants they sent to Qingping Ju to serve were all carefully selected.

Rao is like this, and the people know in their hearts that no matter how favored the third lady is, after all, she is just a helpless concubine, begging for a living in Yunjiazhuang, in the final analysis, it still depends on Jiang Xinlan's face.

A few little girls were pointed out to Qingpingju, and they were already a little apprehensive. When he arrived at Lin Wushan and saw Yunlin, his heart was even colder.

I have heard Aunt Han's mothers say that Aunt Han was a famous beauty in Gusu City back then, with both color and art, and charming style, which fascinated Yun Xiaoyi in a circle.

Yun Lin inherited the beauty of his mother, and he looked speechless, but as for the amorous style, he didn't see it at all, his face was cold, and it was rare to come out with a few words all day, no matter how he looked at it, he was not a pleasant character.

A few girls couldn't help but worry about their prospects, and this time they heard that Yun Xiaoyi had transplanted the plum trees in Qimei Garden to Qingpingju, so they were a little comforted.

You must know that the old man loves plums like his life, and the best plum trees in the Qimei Garden were bought by him at a high price and planted and cultivated by himself.

The second son, Yun Feng, once accompanied a few young ladies to visit the garden, and broke two branches on a whim to give them away, and was scolded by Yun Xiaoyi so bloody.

Now Yun Xiaoyi has dug up the whole plant and moved to Qingpingju, which shows that this third lady has an extraordinary status in the master's heart.

Xiao Ye said curiously: "At this time, the weather is cold, can the transplanting of flowers and trees survive?" ”

Yao Qingmu said with a smile: "The master spent a lot of money to hire the best florist in the city, and built a double-layer warm shed in Qingpingju, the shed inside was lit with lights, and a circle of trenches was dug in the outer shed, which was baked with silver carbon day and night, and the roots of the tree were warm, and then someone took care of it, and it was not difficult to survive." ”

Xiao Ye only smacked his tongue when he heard this: "In order to change the place for the plum blossoms, how much silver do you have to spend?" ”

Yao Qingmu said with a smile: "The master loves the third lady, and no matter how much money he spends, he is willing to do it." ”

Mother Zhao smiled: "The old slave has been in the village for so many years, and it is the first time that the third lady has been favored like this." Even the eldest lady had never seen the master hurt like this back then. As soon as he raised his head, he exclaimed: "Isn't that the master, it has such a heavy snowfall, and the master has come to pick up the young lady in person despite the wind and cold." ”

Mu Dianke followed his gaze and saw a tall man coming quickly against the wind and snow, about fifty years old, with a white face and a long beard, and a dignified appearance, it must be Yun Xiaoyi, the owner of Yunjiazhuang.

The martial arts practitioner walked quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of him. A group of servants and maids bent down to salute.

Mu Dian can be worshipped.

She is the master, Yun Xiaoyi is the servant, although it is a play, how dare Yun Xiaoyi really let her worship, and hurriedly reached out to help, but Mu Dian avoided without a trace, and said with some embarrassment: "It's good to come back, your family doesn't have to be polite." He asked with concern, "How were you doing along the way?" ”

Mu Dianke lowered his eyebrows and made a deferential look, and said, "Thank you for your father's concern, and everything is fine with my daughter." ”

Yun Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Okay." That's good. You are not good at playing small, you are tired all the way, and you catch up with the wind and snow, and your mother and I are not worried. ”

Mu Dianke said: "Lao's parents are worried. ”

While speaking, Jiang Xinlan had already taken Yun Zheng and Yun Feng to come forward surrounded by a group of maids and servants, with a kind and amiable smile: "What a Peugeot person." No wonder the old man looked forward to it day and night, yesterday I heard that it was going to arrive today, and I couldn't even sleep well. It's kind of looking forward to bringing you back. ”

Jiang Xinlan is over fifty years old, and because of proper maintenance, she looks no more than forty years old, with beautiful eyebrows and graceful bearing, and she can see that she was also a beauty when she was young.

Mu Dianke was about to salute, but was stopped by Jiang Xinlan, took her hand and said with a smile: "My family doesn't have so many courtesies. When I came back this time, I lived in peace, and I just told my mother what I lacked. He turned back to the two young men behind him and said, "Zheng'er, Feng'er, come and see your third sister." ”

The eldest son, Yun Zheng, is twenty-two years old this year, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a square appearance, which is five or six points similar to Yun Xiaoyi.

The second son, Yunfeng, looks like Jiang Xinlan, with a softer silhouette and a graceful bearing, as if he is a beautiful son.

Hearing their mother's words, the two saluted together: "Hello third sister." ”

Mu Dianke also replied: "Big brother and second brother are good." ”

Jiang Xinlan said with a smile: "Your eldest sister is not in good health for a while, your second sister went to Liu's house to accompany her, and I will ask your second brother to pick her up in a while, and I can see her at night." In the evening your father will make a feast for you, and you will eat whatever you like, just tell me. I'm going to send someone to get ready in advance. ”

Mu Dianke said: "Mother is bothered. ”

Jiang Xinlan smiled: "This stupid girl, what do you say?" You're about the same age as Jin'er, and I'll treat you like my own daughter. You have suffered so much outside over the years, not to mention your father, even your mother is distressed when she sees it. ”

said another shout, and asked for warmth. Speaking of Yunlin's deceased mother-in-law, her eyes were red: "Look at this painful appearance, you will treat me as your mother-in-law in the future." Whoever has Jin'er, your mother is absolutely indispensable. ”

Yun Xiaoyi said: "What do you do when you talk about this." The child has worked the road, so tell her to go back and rest first. ”

Jiang Xinlan wiped her tears and said: "I also saw this child, and my heart was full of joy. I forgot about it. At the other end of Qingpingju, I have already asked someone to burn the warm pavilion. Mother Zhao hurriedly took the third lady over. But you must be good at serving. ”

Mother Zhao smiled: "Madame, don't worry, the old slave doesn't dare to be careless." ”

Yun Xiaoyi said: "After resting, let's go to my father's study." I haven't seen you for so many years, and my dad has a lot to say to you. ”

Mu Dianke responded: "Yes." Say goodbye to Yun Xiaoyi and Jiang Xinlan, and go all the way to Qingpingju with Zhao's mother.

Yao Qingmu was called away by Yun Xiaoyi, and Jiang Xinlan also took the maid and servant back to Range Rover Courtyard.

Yun Feng watched Jiang Xinlan walk away, and said incredulously: "Mother, what's wrong?" I heard that Aunt Han gave her mother a lot of stumbling blocks when she was alive, and my mother still hates it when she mentions it. I thought that when the third sister entered the door, she lost her temper without saying anything, but she didn't think that she looked even happier than her father. ”

Yun Zheng said lightly: "That's all the grievances of the previous generation." The third sister was sent to Lin Wushan since she was a child, and she didn't even know what Aunt Han looked like. No matter how angry her mother is, she won't be angry with her. ”

Yun Feng knew his mother's temper, shook his head, and looked unconvinced. After thinking about it, he said, "Do you think our third sister is weird?" It looks like it's not going to get along. ”

Mu Dian can come to Gusu under the pretense of Yun Lin's identity, and only Yun Zheng knows about the entire Yunjiazhuang except for Yun Xiaoyi.

The stakes are very high, Yun Zheng didn't dare to be sloppy, pretended to think about it, and said, "There is a little." But she has been away from home since she was a child, and it is reasonable that she is not close to us. What's more, her master is a Taoist, and it is not surprising that a cultivator pays attention to his heart as calm as water, and his temperament is light. It's good if it's been a long time. ”

Yun Feng said: "That's too." Having said that, although our three sisters have a strange temper, their appearance is top-notch, a few points stronger than the jade begonias in Huayuan Pavilion. ”

Yun Zheng said: "What are you talking about, although the third sister is a concubine, she is also a serious boudoir lady." How can there be any reason to compare his sister with the woman in the Qinglou? If Dad knows, he has to reprimand you. ”

Yun Feng shook his hand and said, "Okay, I won't say it, don't talk nonsense in front of your father." Last time, my butt still hurts. ”

"You don't deserve it."

The brothers said and walked away.
