Chapter 170: Plum Blossoms in Bloom
Zhong Yuqi looked at the fine sweat oozing from Qiu Shi's forehead, I was afraid that she was not only the result of running, but also the result of playing in the snow before, right?
Zhong Yuqi didn't break her either, and only ate some breakfast quietly. Every time there was a leftover, I let Chunhua and Qiushi eat it.
Since Chunhua and Qiushi both wanted to go out to play, after breakfast, Zhong Yuqi went out of the house and stood at the door.
Snowflakes fall like goose feathers, falling from the top and melting with the snow on the ground. The courtyard was white, with only a little green visible under the branches and leaves of the big trees, and the pavilions and kitchens next to it.
"It's so pretty!" Autumn Fruit high-chested road.
Chunhua smiled and nodded, agreeing with Qiushi's words.
Zhong Yuqi's face was bland, and she didn't think there was anything special about it.
However, something special appeared. Two figures walked through the door.
Xiao Yulin was wearing a cotton hat and a cotton cloak, and was walking this way, holding red, white, and pink plum blossoms in his hands. Ma Liu followed closely behind Xiao Yulin, holding an umbrella for Xiao Yulin, but his own body was white.
Xiao Yulin stepped on the snow and soon came under the eaves.
Ma Liu shook the snow on the umbrella externally, then took the umbrella, handed it to Mrs. Xia on the side, and patted the snow on his body.
Xiao Yulin said to Zhong Yuqi: "Although the snow scene is good, it's cold outside, don't stand outside for a long time." Come out so that you don't even have a cloak? ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "I just stand under the eaves and look at it, I don't walk outside, I don't need a cloak." ”
Xiao Yulin said: "It's still snowing heavily, it's not convenient to walk outside, let's go inside!" You can see the snow in the house, it's not so cold. When the snow stops, it's not too late for you to go out and see the snow. ”
Since Xiao Yulin is like this, Zhong Yuqi and the others can only invite Xiao Yulin into the room and sit down.
Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Liu came out of the inner room with two charcoal basins and placed them at the feet of Xiao Yulin and Zhong Yuqi. Xiao Yulin didn't want it, and asked Mrs. Liu to put the charcoal basin at Zhong Yuqi's feet.
Zhong Yuqi did not refuse, and said, "It's snowing heavily, why did the prince come over at this time?" ”
Xiao Yulin gestured to the plum blossom in his hand and said, "Oh! These have only bloomed this morning, and some buds are about to open. This king has folded some good ones in time and sent them to you. You smell it, and there's a faint fragrance! ”
Zhong Yuqi only needs to sniff lightly, and she can smell a faint fragrance.
When you usually enjoy plum blossoms, you have to walk near the plum tree to smell the fragrance, and this is indeed a high-quality variety of plum blossoms.
Xiao Yulin plucked a red plum blossom from one of the plum sticks, then got up, pinned the plum blossom into Zhong Yuqi's bun, and said: "In the winter when you were five years old, this king played with you in the snow in the yard, and when he saw that the plum blossoms were blooming just right, he went with you to shake the plum tree and let the snow fall on him. At that time, you were dressed in red, and your head and body were white, and you were giggling. Later, the king picked a red plum and pinned it in your hair, so that you could be red and white, and white and red. ”
Every time he recalls the interesting things of the year, Xiao Yulin's face is full of smiles.
Although Zhong Yuqi didn't know what happened back then, when she heard Xiao Yulin get up, she also had that picture in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel funny, and a smile appeared on her face.
Xiao Yulin handed the plum blossom in his hand to Chunhua and said, "Go find a bottle and raise it." ”
"Yes!"
Then, Xiao Yulin sat down and said, "When the snow stops, let's go enjoy the plum blossoms!" Maybe it's because you came this year, and this year's plum blossoms are blooming very well! ”
Zhong Yuqi was amused by Xiao Yulin's words, and felt that Xiao Yulin was quite good at talking about love.
Zhong Yuqi said: "There are good things in the prince's mansion, and even this plum blossom is also a good variety, how can there be a different situation in a certain year?" ”
Ma Liudao: "Sister Zhong, my prince is really not lying to you!" You can ask the people in the palace, as long as you have seen those plum blossoms, you know that this year is better than usual. ”
Zhong Yuqi knew that this was because the plum tree was at the right age, and the plum blossom would bloom vigorously. However, she will not come out with such heart-sweeping words, so as not to spoil all the mood.
In fact, this is also Xiao Yulin's intention.
Ten years ago, he had already found someone to find a good plum tree, planted it in Ruiwangfu Zheng, and ten years later, the plum blossoms were in full bloom, and that was also the time when he saw Zhong Yuqi again.
It's just that he didn't think at that time that he would bring Zhong Yuqi to King Rui's mansion.
Xiao Yulin said: "Now that the snow is heavy outside, this king will break a few branches to show you a freshness." When the snow stops, you can feast your eyes. ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "It seems that this snow will not stop for a while and a half, or it will fall until tomorrow." ”
Xiao Yulin said: "It's good to go down to tomorrow, Ruixue is a good year!" However, the snow doesn't fall so hard all the time, and you can pick up it when the snow isn't too heavy before going out. ”
Qiu Shi said: "The prince wants to wait here, wait for the snow to get some, and then go outside with my sister to enjoy the plum blossoms?" ”
Xiao Yulin shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this king can't wait." There are still some trivial things to report to the king in King Mo's mansion, and there are still some things outside that the king has to decide! If you come to the north courtyard all the time, it will also disturb the tranquility of the chili peppers. This king came to see and bring plum blossoms to the peppers, and he was leaving. Wait until the snow is a little bit clearer, and this king will come again! ”
finished, Xiao Yulin really stood up.
Zhong Yuqi didn't keep Xiao Yulin, and sent Xiao Yulin to the door, Xiao Yulin let her stay, and then left in a hurry with Ma Liu.
Qiu Shi looked at the back of Xiao Yulin leaving, until the person disappeared around the corner, then closed the door, and said to Zhong Yuqi: "Sister, the prince is really good to sister!" ”
Chunhua also said: "It's not! The people in the palace also like my sister very much, and with the support of the prince, it is not difficult for my sister to gain a foothold in the palace. ”
Zhong Yuqi only smiled, noncommittal.
There are some things that are not easy to do with the support of someone. If she was caught by the other party with braids, even if Xiao Yulin protected her, it would be her fault, and she would be a little shorter in this remark.
Therefore, Zhong Yuqi said: "Don't think that the prince is good to us, and the people in the palace also look up to us, so we take it lightly and be arrogant." ”
Qiu Shi smiled and said: "The slave maid and Chunhua always remember the teachings of their sister!" ”
had nothing to do and couldn't go out, so Zhong Yuqi had to go back to the inner room and pick up the book to read. Knowing that Chunhua and Qiushi couldn't sit still, Zhong Yuqi allowed them to go to the window to see the snow.
Because, Chunhua and Qiushi will not leave her side, let them out, and they will not go out.
