Huai Sleeve suddenly had a strong distress for the second sister, and in those days, the pain she had experienced was polished into a stunning and dazzling feather with a strong and refined heart, decorating the second sister's body now.

On a rare winter afternoon, the two sisters were holding hands and chatting, Su'er suddenly ran into the house, a pair of suddenly widening eyes couldn't tell whether it was surprise or surprise, panting and saying: "Ergege, small, small Gege......"

"What's wrong? If you have something to say slowly, Hongqing, hand a glass of water to Su'er. Jukhtana frowned slightly.

Hongqing hurriedly poured a glass of water for Su'er, where can Su'er care about drinking water at the moment, pushed Hongqing's hand away, tried to calm down, and gasped hurriedly and said: "Ergege auspicious, Xiaogege auspicious, the snow goose is back." "

"What?" Huai Sleeve and Zhu Hetana stood up at the same time.

"What about her? Where is it? Huai Sleeve asked nervously.

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go and bring the snow geese over quickly." Zhu Hetana was anxious and scolded Hongqing and Su'er. Hongqing and Su'er reacted to this yell, and they rushed out, and in a hurry, the two of them squeezed side by side on the door frame.

"Sister, great, I've been looking for these days, but I didn't expect her to come back by herself." Huai Sleeve excitedly squeezed Zhu Hetana's hand.

"Yes, I thought it was ......" Zhu Hetana slowly sat back on the kang with the help of the coffee table, and forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart.

After all, the snow goose is the dowry girl brought by Zhu Hetana from northern Xinjiang, although she and Hongqing are handmaidens, they have been together day and night, in fact, they have long been like sisters, since that day, she has sent people around to inquire about the whereabouts of the snow goose, but there is no news.

Xue Yan followed Hongqing into the house, and saw the sleeve sitting on the warm kang at a glance, two tears rolled down her cheeks, and she fell down at the foot of her sleeve and kowtowed repeatedly: "Xiao Gege, Snow Goose damn it, I didn't take care of you......"

Huai Sleeve and Su Er pulled the snow goose up from the ground, and Zhu Hetana asked Hongqing to bring her a wooden stool to sit on, and when she stopped crying, Zhu Hetana asked her about her whereabouts these days.

Xue Yan only said that she was separated from her sleeves that day, and she felt shameless and returned to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, so she went out of the city alone and went to the moat to kill herself for the rest of her life.

But he didn't expect to be rescued by a farmer's family, fainted for a few days, and after a little rest and recuperation, he learned that the chaos in the city had long since subsided, and after all, because he missed the old master, his body could walk on the ground slightly, so he quit his life-saving benefactor and looked for the city.

Jukhtana only shook her head and sighed: "You are really an idiot." "

Huai Sleeve excitedly clasped Xue Yan's hand and said, "You are such a fool, how did you think of committing suicide in vain?" Fortunately, I didn't die, I also asked Xiao Anzi to go to Zifeng Tower to inquire about your news, my sister and I were in a hurry, and we sent someone to look for you for a few days, but there was no news. "

"The snow goose has worried the two masters." Snow Goose said and knelt down and kowtowed.

Huai Sleeve hurriedly pulled her: "Ming'er will be in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and since you come back, we can also have a reunion year with peace of mind!" "

In the morning light, the wet cold wind swished towards the collar of the person, the sleeve tube ran into the tube, the sky was not yet bright, and when Su'er came in with a silver basin, he rubbed his hands on the frozen ground.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Huai Sleeve got up early in the morning, in previous years in the General's Mansion, today is a good day to earn New Year's money, now she has entered Beijing, she can be naughty on weekdays, but on a big festival like the New Year, how should she behave, there are still a few points in her heart.

Early in the morning, Su Er and Xue Yan waited for them to groom carefully, changed into new clothes, and gave the girls and grandmothers the New Year's money, and then asked the two girls to accompany them to the main hall in the front yard.

Early in the morning of the first lunar month, the military department Shangshu Malhan entered the palace to congratulate the emperor on the New Year, and Zhu Hetana took the clan ladies of the family to worship their ancestors in the ancestral hall on the side of the main hall.

After the ancestor worship is completed, the ladies of the inner chamber are divided into generations and offer tea to Zhu Hetana, and Zhu Hetana gives red envelopes to everyone one by one, leading the children who come to celebrate the New Year, as well as gold and silver coins and small ingots worn by red ropes and other mascot items to be rewarded, in order to be auspicious and smooth.

After the tea ceremony was completed, he poured a cup of hot tea with his own hands in the pot, served it with both hands, and slowly walked to Zhu Hetana and said: "Second sister, this is the first year I have spent in the capital.

Today, the younger sister will present this cup of tea to the second sister, and the second sister's love for me in the past six months, as well as my connection with the second sister's sister, are all in this hot tea. After speaking, he knelt on his knees and respectfully served the tea cup in front of Zhu Hetana's eyes with both hands.

Zhu Hetana heard these words of Huai Sleeve, her eyes were already red, her hand trembled slightly and took the cup in her hand, and she raised her face with tears and drank it all.

Zhu Hetana married into Beijing alone, and after a few New Year's years, she accumulated a few desolations.

This year, I am fortunate to be accompanied by her arms, which can be regarded as a relief from her many years of homesickness, and she can recall the northern part of Xinjiang: the frozen stiff and golden sand dates, the sweet cheese that gradually melts in her mouth in front of the stove, and the light laughter like silver bells in the sky when she takes the young Qi Buchen to beat the ice cubes under the porch......

"Second sister, I have one more thing for you." Huai Sleeve said, pretending to mysteriously put his hands behind his back.

"What's good, still mysterious?" Jukhtana asked.

"Sister, I don't have anything valuable to give you, you have seen a lot of gold and silver objects, and the only thing I can give you is my heart." With that, he carefully pulled out a lilac silk handkerchief from his sleeve.

Zhu Hetana took the silk handkerchief from her sleeve and unfolded it to see that there was a branch of plum with a delicate charm on it.

"Good delicate and delicate embroidery." Djokhtana was amazed. Many ladies next to him also sighed and praised this exquisite embroiderer.

"Second sister, you have been in charge of such a big mansion alone all these years, and the sour taste in it is needless to say, and my sister has also seen it. You and I were born in the family of the official eunuchs and nobles, although the clothing and food are much better than others, but after all, we can't choose where we go. When Huai Sleeve said this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"But," Huai Sleeve followed the conversation and said: "'The sword is sharpened from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold' Now the second sister is like the proud snow and frost in this winter, and she can bloom in the wind, and what you said to me that day is in my heart." This handkerchief will be by my sister's side for me. "

"Huai'er......" Zhu Hetana trembled her voice and reached out to hold her hand tightly. The loneliness in her chest for a while, poignant, warm, intimate, sighing, proud, and regretful that the ten flavors came from all over the world, and she pressed her heart tightly to make her speechless.

Zhu Hetana didn't expect that she would have such a compassionate and delicate mind just after the age of her arms, and almost poked her heart sour in every sentence.
