Chapter 308: Falling Snow (1)
In the past few days, Zhou Hexi has been quite relaxed, and a big stone in his heart has landed, and he no longer has to worry about danger coming at any time, which is naturally enjoyable. Now, her mind was back to eating and drinking.
As soon as November began, the first snow of the year fell on the earth, and when Zhou Heyue and Zhou Hexing came side by side, Zhou Hexi was eating fried chestnuts with sugar around the stove. The two sisters and brothers stomped their feet and patted the falling snow on their bodies, but their eyes stared at the basket on the eldest sister's lap without blinking, full of baskets of sugar-fried chestnuts, steaming, very tempting.
"As I was talking, I'll send you two the next pot."
Zhou Hexi smiled and hurriedly greeted the two, Jin Ling brought hot tea, and said to the sisters and brothers with a smile: "Fourth Miss, Shiziye, go to the kitchen and take a look, Qianniang used an iron pot bigger than a water tank to fry chestnuts, and the shovel was bigger than a shovel." Qianniang is amazing, the shovel dances freely, as if juggling. ”
Zhou Hexing felt fresh and went immediately, but Zhou Heyue, who loved to join in the excitement in the past, sat still, ate two chestnuts, and couldn't help but say: "Eldest sister, do you know, the mother and daughter are back again......" She nodded in the direction of Quxiangyuan, which had already been empty, and said disdainfully: "This time, the three of them are begging at grandmother's place." Hmph, don't look in the mirror well, where does the face come from! ”
Concubine Chen in the palace lost power, and Qu Shangshu was made an excuse by His Majesty to seal a minister to visit various areas of Wudi, which seemed to be promoted in a beautiful manner, but in fact he was demoted. The Qu family is no longer what it used to be, Aunt Qu and her two daughters have no backers, and it will be a matter of time before they return to the Hou Mansion. It's just that Zhou Hexi didn't expect the three of them to be so breathless, and the snowy weather was not good for staying at home, so they came back in the snow in a hurry.
"Where's Daddy?" Zhou Hexi asked.
"Dad went out early in the morning, and it's been like this for the past few days, doesn't the eldest sister know?"
Oh, Zhou Hexi shook her head, she really didn't know.
Since returning from the palace, she slept for two days, slept for a long time and ate less, hungry, and then ate for three days in a row, finally filling her stomach, Qianniang began to think of ways to make snacks again, counting, these days she has nothing but sleeping is eating, where do you have the kung fu to care about her father's whereabouts.
"Dad seems to be sullen these days, and he is a little unhappy...... "Well, just talking about Aunt Qu, Zhou Heyue realized that he was off topic, and hurriedly dragged the topic back, "What do you ask Dad for?" Even if my father is in the house, he will not agree to the three shameless returns. Mother said, Aunt Qu is a scourge, where is the scourge, and her two daughters, sooner or later she will be miserable. ”
Isn't it miserable now?
In the past, everyone looked at Concubine Chen, looked at Qu Shangshu, and didn't dare to say anything, but now that the two of them have lost power, they don't pick up the most ugly thing to say, the reputation of the mother is like this, where can the daughter go?
"What did grandmother say?"
"Definitely won't let them in! If it weren't for them brazenly kneeling at the gate of the Hou Mansion and causing everyone to watch and talk, their grandmother would not have let them in at all. ”
But it finally came in.
Zhou Hexi looked at Zhou Heyue's immature little face, he hadn't pinched it for a long time, his hands were itching, and he couldn't help pinching it. Zhou Heyue was accustomed to it, and there was no other reaction except grinning and showing a mouthful of silver teeth.
"You still haven't figured it out. At the gate of our house, it's not good to come in when you go out, and it's not good to go out again when you come in. Zhou Hexi instantly understood what his grandmother meant, and sighed slightly.
Zhou Heyue still doesn't understand.
Zhou Hexi patted the fourth sister on the shoulder and said seriously: "How can someone like us go well?" There are many people, there are many things, and unsatisfactory places naturally abound, and the month, many things we can't do as we want. For example, in the case of Aunt Qu, her father didn't leave her for a day, and she was the aunt of the Hou Mansion for a day, not to mention Helu and Heshuang, both of whom were surnamed Zhou......"
"Well said!" The curtain was suddenly opened, and a stream of cold air "swished" in, making it cool in front of people.
"Big brother!" The two sisters stood up in unison to greet each other.
