Chapter Twenty-Five: Snow Appreciation
After a day of school, the academy was closed again, and Yi Jiaren also rested. She woke up early in the morning, lying under the covers and not wanting to get up.
Yesterday, the matchmaker looked for her and sent her a post of a son, and made an appointment to meet today, she agreed at the time, and now she regrets not wanting to go, she wants to take time to read the "Dictionary of All Nations".
And it was so cold that it was snowing heavily.
After sleeping for a while, she still decided to meet, after all, yesterday the media officer said that the man's character and family background are good, maybe it is a good marriage, and he can't miss it.
She came to the rendezvous with an oil umbrella. By the small bridge outside the city.
It was very cold, and there was not a single pedestrian on the road, and I saw a man in a scarlet fur coat standing in the wind in the snow.
Xiao Xiao is solemn, hearty and clear.
I didn't expect this person to come so early, it seems that he has been waiting for a long time, and a layer of snow has fallen on his body.
"The little girl is polite." Yi Jiaren went up to salute. It doesn't matter if he succeeds or not, he will make a good impression first.
The man turned his back to her, and when he heard her speak, he turned around and made a surprised expression: "Miss Yi, why are you!" ”
"Xiao Yuwen!" Yi Jiaren was also taken aback. "Why are you here?"
"I'm here for a blind date!" Xiao Yuwen replied.
The day before yesterday, he went to the matchmaker, and saw that they had already given the man's post to Yi Jiaren, so he took out ten taels of silver to bribe the matchmaker, took the post that was going to be given to the man, and today he pretended to be the man to meet with Yi Jiaren.
Yi Jiaren looked at the post on his hand: "This... Doesn't this say that Wang Fugui is called? ”
"Yes, I got the post yesterday, and I saw that it said Yi Jiaren, and I thought it had the same name and surname as you." Xiao Yuwen pretended to be stupid.
Yi Jiaren rubbed his hands: "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's go back quickly, it's cold." ”
Xiao Yuwen stretched out his hand to stop her, and grinned: "How do I think this is the will of heaven, it seems that we are really destined." ”
"I can't afford to climb you Xiao Gongzi because of fate, I really want to go back." Yi Jiaren hugged her arms, and her nose was red from the cold.
On a cold day, she was still wearing only a double jacket, not even a cloak.
"Eh, you wait." Xiao Yuwen took off his fur coat and put it on him, and helped her tuck it up: "It's warmer now." ”
He was so close to Yi Jiaren that the cold breath that came out of his mouth blew into her hair.
"What, shy?" Xiao Yuwen looked at her slightly red face and smiled, with more tenderness in his eyes.
"Where, I'm frozen red." Yi Jiaren touched her somewhat hot face. "That's how you usually cheat on girls?"
"How can you call it a lie, I am revealing my true feelings."
Yi Jiaren picked up the umbrella on the ground: "Thank you for your clothes, return you another day, I'm going back." ”
"Eh, I've got my clothes for you to wear, and you're going to leave me alone here to freeze."
"You can go back with you, too."
Xiao Yuwen grabbed the snow on the ground and crumpled it into a ball, and threw it towards the frozen river: "It's all here, we might as well have a fun and then go back." Look, how beautiful this is! ”
The willow branches by the river are covered with crystal clear ice ridges, and the fields in the distance are covered with snow, and the sky and the earth are full of pink and jade.
It's beautiful, but it's also very cold.
"Aren't you cold?" Yi Jiaren shrunk his whole body into his coat.
"It's not cold." Saying that, Xiao Yuwen threw another snowball out.
"That's... So where are we going? ”
Yi Jiaren has been here for so long, and she has lived a hard life, and she hasn't gone out to play yet, so she can't help but yearn for it.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."
Xiao Yuwen patted the snow on his hands and whistled, his horse ran over from a distance, he jumped on the horse and stretched out his hand: "Come up." ”
Yi Jiaren hesitated on the ground: "I don't know how to ride a horse." ”
Riding the same horse with Xiao Yuwen, she was a little embarrassed.
"I'll teach you."
"Hmm..."Yi Jiaren didn't move.
Xiao Yuwen sighed: "Alas, my aunt and grandmother, what kind of shame are you, there is no criminal law in the Tianshun Dynasty, it is illegal for men and women to ride the same horse, you come up quickly, you won't be able to catch up with the show for a while." ”
He often asked girls to ride horses, which he was used to.
"What's the show?"
"Go, you'll know."
"Well... All right. Yi Jiaren took his hand and got on the horse, sat in front of him, and was half-embraced by him, which seemed to be warmer.
I don't feel like he's as stubborn as my brother said.
The two rode horses, laughing and looking around as they walked.
"Horseback riding is fun, isn't it?"
"Well, it's more fun than riding in a carriage." Yi Jiaren was extremely excited, and they were all dancing a little bit.
"Then don't take Guo Xun's carriage in the future, learn to ride a horse, how convenient it is to go where to ride a horse."
"How do you know I'm in his carriage?"
Xiao Yuwen sneered: "... I saw it by accident. ”
"Unintentionally? What else do you see? Yi Jiaren glanced back and glared at him.
In the past few days, he has not gone to the academy, but always runs to Yunxiang Restaurant, and she also found that something is wrong.
Xiao Yuwen also simply: "I have seen everything that should be seen." ”
"Then do you know that I work at Guo Xun's restaurant?"
"Yes."
Yi Jia is angry, so during this time, he goes there every day to sit, isn't it just to see how he grovels and waits for people?
She felt her pride hurt, "I don't want to play anymore, you let me go, I'm going back." He raised his leg to dismount.
Xiao Yuwen hurriedly pressed her: "Okay, why don't you go?" It's coming soon, and you're seated. Instead of letting her go, he grabbed the horse's belly and galloped all the way.
"Ahh I haven't sat down yet. ”
"Hold on to the saddle in front."
In Yi Jiaren's exclamations all the way, the destination arrived, the playground of the nobles of Ning'an City, the eastern suburbs enclosure.
On the day of rest, there are many pastimes such as juju, bowing, and color ball play. Outside the courtyard, I heard the sound of noise and laughter inside, and it seemed that it had already begun.
Entering the paddock, most of the classmates from the academy came, and Yi Linfeng was also pulled by Guo Xun.
Yi Jiaren probed her brain and found a seat in the stands to sit down, hiding that she was afraid of meeting Guo Xun, but the day before yesterday she refused his invitation to enjoy the snow. Today, she not only appreciated the snow with Xiao Yuwen, but also came to see the bow with him.
I don't know what Guo Xun will think.
Yi Jiaren has never seen a bow, and he feels very novel.
At a glance, she found that Lin Fengyin and several young ladies in Ning'an City were wearing military uniforms, riding a horse to drive east and west on the snow, and they were playing with bowing. Compared with herself, her heroic appearance is simply a nine-day fairy and a rural village girl.
Although she is a village girl.
However, he was afraid of something, Guo Xun saw her coming from afar, and was so excited that he shouted from a few people: "Miss Yi." ”
Seeing that he was discovered, Yi Jiaren hurriedly hid behind a group of people, avoiding his sight, and bent down to sneak under the stands.
"What are you hiding?" Xiao Yuwen grabbed her, and he also saw Guo Xun.
I saw it just right, and I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see it.
"Shhhhhh
"Cut." He pulled Yi Jiaren and didn't let go, and stood up and shouted to Guo Xun: "Brother Guo, Brother Yi, it's such a coincidence, you are also here." ”
