Towards the end of the year, it snowed heavily again.

The year ago should have been the most lively and busy time, but whether it was Chaozhong or Beijing, it looked extremely cold.

Under the heavy snowfall, it was as if something was accumulating, and there was an extremely oppressive atmosphere everywhere.

Those people in Beijing are staring at the court, waiting for the outcome of the Jingnan case, and those people in the court are even more because of the matter of the Bo family and the second prince.

Everyone is cautious, not daring to make the slightest mistake, for fear that they will be implicated in this matter.

When Xie Qin and Qi Wenfu received the letter from Zhang Ning, it was already several days later.

It snowed heavily at night, and when Xie Qin and Qi Wenfu came to see Su Ruan, Su Ruan was sitting in front of the window painting the red plums in the courtyard.

The orange curled up beside Su Ruan's legs, its front paws and head rested on Su Ruan's legs, and its tail swayed back and forth without a match, and suddenly it looked up, twisted its head to look at the warm curtain, first "meowed", and then jumped up and rushed down from the couch quickly.

"Tangerine!"

Su Ruan hurriedly shouted.

After the warm curtain was lifted over there, a gentle cry also came from the side of the door curtain: "Orange." ”

Two voices rang out almost simultaneously.

Su Ruan was stunned when he heard the voice, and when he looked up, he saw Qi Wenfu walking in from outside the warm curtain.

He was dressed in a stone blue cloak, his body was dyed with the cold outside, and some snowflakes could be seen on the tips of his hair that had not yet melted.

The orange circled Qi Wenfu's legs and screamed "meow" and "meow", and the front paws climbed the robe in front of Qi Wenfu, looking like he wanted to climb up, but it was too round, and he couldn't bear it just after climbing some claws, and he fell back to the ground with a "snap".

Seeing this, Qi Wenfu couldn't help but chuckle.

He bent down and picked up the orange and flipped it in his hand: "Little fat man, it's heavy again." ”

"Meow!"

Tangerine licked his hand with rare enthusiasm.

"This cat is close to Lord Qi, and in the past, no one in the mansion was allowed to hug anyone except Ruan Ruan."

Xie Qin's voice came from behind.

Qi Wenfu raised his lips and smiled, and stepped forward half a step to let Xie Qin behind him in.

"I've had this cat for a while, I'm afraid it still remembers me."

Qi Wenfu stood in front of the door while speaking, but waited until the cold on his body dissipated, and then untied his cloak and handed it to the servant who followed up, and then followed Xie Qin with an orange and walked towards Su Ruan.

"Long time no see."

Qi Wenfu touched the cat's paw and said.

Su Ruan saw Qi Wenfu who greeted her, and her face showed a look of surprise: "Lord Qi? How did it come? ”

Qi Wenfu did not reply immediately, but glanced up and down at Su Ruan.

It has been nearly a month since Su Ruan left the palace, and although he has communicated with Su Ruan several times during this time, in order to avoid suspicion, so as not to be suspected by the emperor that he and Su Ruan have already colluded, and it has affected the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, so although Qi Wenfu is worried about Su Ruan's situation, he has never come to visit.

Now that he finally found an opportunity, when he said goodbye, Qi Wenfu felt that his heart was steady.

The little girl will be raised for so long, and most of the sickness on her face has faded before, and her thin and pointed cheeks due to illness in the palace are more rounded, and her complexion is not pale, but looks very good because of the temperature in the house.

When she sat on the couch, she was wearing a light blue embroidered jacket, her hair was just pulled casually, and she had a peach blossom hairpin, and the falling pendant swayed lightly in her hair as she spoke.

The whole person looked a lot better.

Qi Wenfu felt relieved in his heart, raised his lips and said, "I have something to discuss with Master Xie, and I have something to ask, so I came over." ”

As if he knew what Su Ruan would worry about, he added,

"Don't worry, the emperor knows about my coming here."

Su Ruan was relieved when he heard that Emperor Xuan also knew that Qi Wenfu was coming.

After the incident in front of the palace before, although Qiwenfu was not severely punished, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty also banned Qiwenfu's feet in disguise, and let him stay idle in the mansion for more than half a month before letting him return to the court again.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty was angry with the Qi Wen Mansion, and Su Ruan was afraid that before the matter was over, the Qi Wen Mansion would come to the Xuanping Hou Mansion, and if he provoked the eyes of Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty again, he would still have trouble.

"That's good."

Su Ruan said, "Pick the herbs, go make tea for the third uncle and Lord Qi, use the plum snow you picked before, remember to go to the first soup." ”

Cai Qian nodded and withdrew.

Su Ruancai raised his head again and said, "Third uncle, Lord Qi, my legs are inconvenient, and it is not easy to entertain you, so you can do it at will." ”

Xie Qin's expression was serious, and when he raised his lips and smiled, he didn't look relaxed, and he said: "My family, you don't have to toss so much, just sit down." Fu turned his head to Qi Wenfu and said, "Lord Qi, please come here." ”

After Qi Wenfu sat down with Xie Qin, Xie Qin turned his head to look at Su Ruan and asked, "How is the injury on your leg?" ”

Xie Yuan is not in Beijing, Xie Yong doesn't care about anything, and Xie Qin has to come forward in all matters of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

During this time, Xie Qin has been busy with the affairs of the government and the affairs of the Bo family, and he has to keep an eye on the situation on the Bo family's side, he has been resting on the side of the yamen for several days, and he is also very tired after coming back, but he only heard a little about Su Ruan from the Wu family.

When they met at this time, Xie Qin couldn't help but care.

Su Ruan replied with a chuckle: "It's much better, I came to see it yesterday, there is no big problem, except that I can't walk on the ground, everything else is fine." ”

"That's good."

Xie Qin said, "I am still young, and the road in the future is still long, this leg must be well nourished, so as not to leave any troubles." ”

Su Ruan nodded and replied, "I know, Third Uncle." ”

Outside the door, Cai Qian opened the curtain and sent hot tea in, and after putting the tea in front of a few people in the house, he took Cheng'er and retreated together, and then stood in front of the door to guard, and only Su Ruan and the three of them were left in the house.

Su Ruan looked at Qi Wenfu, who was holding the orange, and said, "Third uncle, I came here with Lord Qi today, but what's the matter?" ”

Su Ruan had been in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion for a few months, but he had very little time to meet Xie Qin.

Xie Qin is a serious person who doesn't like to joke with juniors very much, unlike Xie Yong, although his temperament is a little out of tune, but he gets along with the juniors in the house.

Xie Qin mostly stays in the third room and the mansion on weekdays, he is emotionally introverted, and rarely smiles, so the juniors in the mansion almost dare not talk and laugh with him, and Xie Qin has never taken the initiative to meet Su Ruan.
