In winter, the snow is endless, sometimes there is no guest for two or three days, and sometimes a guest comes to the door, and all the meals made by Xiaobai that day are packed and taken away, but no matter how idle he is, Xiaobai will find something to do for himself, anyway, he will not go to Huicheng easily.

Sang Lan sometimes chatted with Xiaobai about Haixing, but neither of them took the initiative to mention Guo Zhaoyang, he went back to Haixing and left a letter to Sang Lan, saying that he wanted to go back to help Yu Ke, Sang Lan didn't say anything about it, it was Yu Ke who wrote to tell Xiaobai.

Time flies, and it is the winter solstice. They have been very worried about whether Ruan Yuanluo will be able to come back smoothly, they thought that the trip would be advanced, but they didn't expect the snow to be so heavy. In case Wulian Mountain is closed by heavy snow, it can only be returned until the beginning of spring.

Sang Lan even asked the two little servants to ride horses to find out the news, but no one came back until the evening. Even so, Xiaobai still lived more than a dozen kinds of fillings, wrapped a lot of dumplings, and prepared all kinds of ingredients, even if Ruan Yuluo didn't come back, she still had to eat dumplings today.

But obviously all the people had no appetite, Xiaobai brought up the cooked dumplings one by one, and said, "It's too late, Madame, let's eat some food first." ”

Sang Lan shook her head and talked to Xiaobai absentmindedly, "I don't know where this kid has gone." ”

"Ma'am." Hua Rui pulled Sang Lan to the side of the fire, and comforted: "Madame hasn't eaten for a day, this can't be done, the eldest lady may walk slowly, Madame and relax, since the eldest lady said that she will come back this day, she will definitely come back." ”

"Hey... Of course, I know that this kid counts, but I'm afraid that what if, you look at the snow outside... ”

Hua Rui stuffed the chopsticks into Sang Lan's hand and said with a smile: "Eldest Lady Jiren Tianxiang, what if anything." ”

At this moment, a very pleasant shout came from outside: "Madame! Madam! The eldest lady is back! ”

Sang Lan stood up suddenly, pulled the stamen and Xiaobai, and couldn't stop laughing, "You're right, whatever!" ”

"That's good, I'll go to the kitchen and cook." Xiaobai also smiled.

"Don't worry! Go out with me to meet her. Then a few of them went outside.

I looked forward to it day and night, and finally brought people back. The carriage stopped slowly, the door was pushed open, and the warm breath came to the surface, and Ruan Yuanluo, who was wearing a snow-white mink velvet, pounced on Sang Lan as soon as she saw it, "Mother, you want me to die!" ”

"Mother misses you too! What do you think? Is it going well? ”

Ruan Yuanluo's immature cheeks were a little red because of the cold wind, her eyes were shining and she looked at the few people in front of her, and said with a smile: "It's very smooth, just down the mountain, the mountain road was blocked, just out of Wulian, the official road was blocked, no matter how big the snow is, anyway, I came over smoothly." ”

"The official road ahead is blocked?" Xiaobai was a little worried, so how did they go to Xiyue?

"Don't worry." Ruan Yuanluo held Xiaobai's hand and said, "There is Wulian County Mansion." After speaking, she looked at Sang Lan, "But let's leave as soon as possible, I originally wanted to stay here for a few days, but if the snow doesn't end, the county government can't do anything." ”

Sang Lan nodded solemnly, and said approvingly: "What I said is, let's set off now, and we should be able to enter the Five Lotus at dawn." ”

"Leaving now?" Xiaobai couldn't believe it, she had just seen Ruan Yuanluo.

"Of course you have to eat the food you made before leaving!" Ruan Yuanluo hugged Xiaobai, for fear that she would forget the same agreement as herself, "You won't be prepared for nothing, right?" ”

"What do you think?" Xiaobai really wanted to roll his eyes.

Sang Lan asked Hua Rui to pack her luggage, nodded Ruan Yuanluo's forehead and said with a smile: "Today, Xiaobai has made more than a dozen kinds of dumplings, and the kitchen at the back is full, and even Hua Rui has helped." ”

"Really? I knew that Xiaobai was the best. Saying that, Ruan Yuluo hugged Xiaobai again, "But forget about the rest, let's cook some of those dumplings and eat them, if you really eat everything you have prepared, I guess I won't be able to leave in two or three days." ”

Xiaobai pulled her inside, and said as she walked: "It's already cooked, if you don't come back, even your wife won't eat it." ”

"Where's your Aunt Chu?" Sang Lan looked at a few carriages, but there was no one else.

The two turned around, and Ah Yin stepped forward and said, "The pavilion owner wrote a few days ago saying that he would go directly to Yaxian County. ”

"It's good to go back." Sang Lan nodded, after all, Guo Zhaoyang was also in Haixing at this time. "Let's go, try Xiaobai's craftsmanship!"

Although it was said that she had to finish eating as soon as possible, after all, it was Xiaobai's intention, and there was a lot of luggage, Ruan Yuanluo still ate a hot tubular bone soup, which was made of grass and bamboo, which was fragrant, and it was the best tonic in autumn and winter. Xiaobai also wrapped a small box for Sang Lan, and the things prepared before were also put on the carriage, plus a basket of milky steamed buns that had just come out of the pot.

It's already the middle of the night, quietly watching the snow fall outside the door, Xiaobai doesn't want to clean up the mess in the hall at all, from tomorrow, she will be alone again, so some things are better not to get used to.

I don't know how long it took, a big piece of rice was draped on Xiaobai's body, and he said to her softly: "Daze again!" You're going to get sick! ”

Turning his head, it was him, "How are you... Will it be here? ”

"What do you say?" Guo Zhaoyang sat next to Xiaobai with a smile, looked at her and said, "Why are you so surprised every time you see me?" Can't I come? Don't think that if you listen to Mrs. Ruan's nonsense, I will let you do it, the emperor doesn't care about the affairs of the county palace, she is not my mother, it doesn't matter who I like. ”

"Do you know that your mother has returned to Yaxian County?"

Guo Zhaoyang didn't expect her to talk about this, she was stunned, and said with a smile: "Ask me?" I want to ask you, you stay every day to welcome guests, and there is an official road at the door, you can see her? ”

Xiaobai bit her lip, not knowing how to answer, she didn't know, "You also know that I'm not here every day." ”

"I'm going to collect ingredients in the field." He took Xiaobai's hand, got up and said, "I have a gift for you." ”

"What?"

"If you don't see it, you'll know!" Smiling, Guo Zhaoyang took Xiaobai to the flower room, where the temperature is constant all year round, and those flowers are also blooming just right.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Xiaobai was stunned, there were a lot of lilies planted in her flower room, but now, there was a refreshing fragrance wafting in the air, completely covering up the rich fragrance of lilies. "It won't be...

"I've been looking for a long time." Guo Zhaoyang raised his chin proudly.

Xiaobai pushed the door in, and saw the flower at a glance, she had traveled all over Qingguo and it was difficult to find its traces, and now, it appeared here quietly, because she knew that she liked flowers, so she went to great lengths to find it?

"Primrose, no matter how tall it grows, is so upright, I feel very much like you."

Xiaobai's eyes fluctuated, and she couldn't calm down in her heart, she had clearly said that she wouldn't go to him, why did he still do it? "You didn't go back to Haixing at all, but went to the cliff of the Hidden Land?"

"I also went back to Haixing, and when I found it, it was almost crushed to death by the heavy snow, so I had to go to the master and help Yu Ke a little by the way. How, like it or not? ”

Primrose almost couldn't survive, what about him? Xiaobai felt a trace of warmth in his heart, how could he not like it? "I like it, I like it."

Guo Zhaoyang wrinkled his nose slightly and smiled.

Primrose only appears in the cold winter, only in the coldest places, only in the cliffs, she didn't look for it in the land at the beginning, but even if she is flexible, she doesn't have the confidence to protect herself.

Xiaobai turned his head slightly to look at Guo Zhaoyang, he was still the same, his eyes were full of malaise, and he was depressed, but because she liked it, he smiled like a clear sky after the rain, and the pure white after the heavy snow, suddenly a cloud floated, turning the sun into dots and scattering it in her world, so that she couldn't open her eyes.
