CHAPTER XIII
On the seventeenth day of the lunar month, heavy snowfall.
Su Jin'an stood under the porch in a fiery red fox cloak and watched the girls in the yard play, Xia Qu, Zizhu, and Pink Frost are all authentic southerners, and they have hardly seen such a big snow, and for a while it was like returning to their childhood, without figuring joy in the yard, even Xia Qu, who has always been steady, forgot the cold and made a mess with them.
Su Jinan was a northerner in his previous life, and he could see heavy snow every year, and he didn't think it was rare at the time, but it was the first time he saw it since he came here, and he reached out to catch a few snowflakes, which melted into his tentacles, leaving only a wet and cool touch on his fingertips.
"Smack-" A snowball shattered at Su Jin'an's feet, Su Jinan raised her eyes, and Zizhu scratched her head apologetically: "Miss, I didn't mean to." ”
Su Jin'an smiled and didn't speak, and a snowball was also gathered from the snow next to him, which had been hit in the shoulder before Zizhu could react, Zizhu screamed, and then there was the sound of everyone coaxing, and a new round of commotion began in the yard. Looking at their happy smiling faces, Su Jinan was a little relieved, no matter how life is to continue, she will not let go of Shen Wanjun's hatred, she has to protect the Su family, and she must cherish the hard-won life in front of her.
Just when everyone was making a fuss, Su Muyang heard the sound and came over, outlining his tall figure in a dark blue suit. Su Muyang strode into Su Jin'an's courtyard: "I said why didn't even have anyone to greet him, it turned out that they were all here." ”
"Second brother." Su Jin'an smiled and greeted Su Muyang.
"Second master is good!" The people who were fighting in the courtyard all stopped and asked Su Muyang for peace.
"All right, get up." Su Muyang waved his hand, and then instructed Xia Qu: "Xia Qu, you take someone to clean up, we have to go to Puguang Temple to enjoy the snow, and we won't come back at noon." ”
Xia Qu's eyes lit up when they heard it, and they responded happily: "Yes, the slave will go now." Then he walked away.
"Puguang Temple? I'm going too? The old lady agreed? Su Jinan had a lot of questions.
"You can rest assured that you can go with me, I have taken care of everything, it is rare to see such a big snow, we rarely get together since we returned to the capital, today we have to go out and relax, and enjoy the snow scene in the capital." Su Muyan played a guaranteed ticket.
"Big brother and Rong'er are also going?" Listening to Su Muyang's words, Su Jinan's eyes also lit up.
"Hmm!" Su Muyan nodded.
"That's good, I'm going to change my clothes, let's go!" Su Jin'an was a little impatient, she could finally go out, this old lady Su was too conservative, she usually didn't allow the female dependents of the family to go out, Su Jinan was going to be suffocated, no matter what Su Muyang said today, the old lady couldn't have been better, she could finally go out to let loose.
Looking at Su Jin'an, who was rarely so excited, Su Muyang was a little distressed, this girl was really suffocated, when she was in Huailing, she could go out whenever she wanted, and sometimes she would stay in the barracks with him and her father, and when she came back to the capital, she stayed in this small courtyard almost every day, she was definitely not used to it, Su Muyang secretly decided that she must try to create as many opportunities as possible in the future.
After a while, Su Jin'an came out, she changed into a tea-white riding costume, or the fiery red fox cloak, and pulled her hair with a hosta, the simple dress made her a little more chic, and her delicate eyebrows were full of smiles, Su Muyang stepped forward and put the hat of the cloak behind her on her head, and looked at Su Jin'an's little face sunk into the white fur on the edge of the hat and smiled with satisfaction: "Let's go." ”
Su Jinan nodded, and after meeting Su Muqing and Su Murong at the side gate of Su Mansion, the group set off towards Puguang Temple. Su Jinan and Su Muqing sat in the carriage together holding the hand stove, Su Muyang and Su Murong got up and walked in front, Su Jin'an was itching to ride a horse, but unfortunately there were many people in the city, and it would be bad if Mrs. Su knew about it, so she had to give up.
Su Muqing looked at her with envy and couldn't help but say, "If you really want to ride, you can ride for a while when you go out of the city." ”
"Well, I'll get out of town and see how it goes." Su Jinan was still a little unwilling.
Puguang Temple on the outskirts of the capital, although it is not a royal temple, but it has existed for more than 100 years, the incense is vigorous, although there is snow today, but there are still many pilgrims.
Su Jin'an and his entourage did not go to the incense, but went directly to the back mountain, where there were few people, and they could be at will.
The group stopped at the foot of the mountain, and it was impossible to go up the mountain with such heavy snow, so they found a pavilion at the foot of the mountain and stopped. Stepping on the thick snow, the soft touch seems to be much more relaxed, Su Murong is the first time to see such a big snow, at this time there are no various restraints in the house, just like a wild horse running freely in the snow, eager to pounce on it and roll in it, Su Muyang is also attacked by his snowball from time to time, after Su Muyang can't bear it, Su Muyang shouted "Su Murong" and pounced, and the two brothers compared in the snow.
Looking at the pure white snow around Su Jin'an felt comfortable in her heart, she didn't remember how long she hadn't been so relaxed, her eyes were white, Su Jin'an's mind suddenly popped up with an ancient poem, although they were not in the middle of the lake, but they could also feel a little bit of "rime and fog, sky and clouds and mountains and water, up and down white".
In the shouts of Su Muyang and Su Murong, Su Jinan helped Su Muqing to sit in the pavilion next to him, and the maids had already laid soft cushions on the stone benches inside, and built braziers around them, which was not very cold.
Su Muqing's body has been much stronger under Su Jin'an's conditioning in recent years, and although his face is not as ruddy as a normal person, he is not sick.
Su Muqing was draped in a white coat, holding a hand stove, with the snow scene as the backdrop and his warm temperament, Su Jinan felt that he was like a legendary hermit master, and couldn't help laughing.
Su Muqing looked at Su Jinan and expressed doubts.
Su Jinan changed the topic: "It's hard to come out together today, the scenery is pleasant, wouldn't it be a pity if we don't have a drink." ”
Su Muqing smiled and cooperated with her: "That's very good." ”
Su Jin'an was amused by the conversation between the two of them, and instructed Xia Qu to bring the wine she brought to warm it and bring some pastries, and then chatted with Su Muqing without a match.
Su Murong's kung fu was not as good as Su Muyang, and after a while, he was beaten and screamed, and ran over to pull Su Jinan to complain: "Third sister, second brother bullied me." ”
"It's obvious that your skills are not as good as others, and you have to provoke others, but now that you can't beat it, you say that people are bullying you, fourth brother, you are very unreasonable like this!" Su Muqing saw that Su Murong was so old and coquettish, and he was a little cold.
"That is, can you have some talent and have the ability to beat me by yourself." Su Muyang also stepped into the pavilion and expressed his disdain for Su Murong.
Su Murong was even more aggrieved, Su Jinan looked at Su Murong, whose face and nose were frozen red, and his hair was also wet with snow, he couldn't help but feel that he was also quite pitiful, and reached out to cover his cheeks: "It's okay, let's go together in a while." ”
"Good!" Su Murong immediately raised his morale and made a grimace at Su Muyang.
Su Muqing and Su Muyang shook their heads in unison when they saw that he was still so childish.
Su Jinan poured a glass of warm wine on the table: "Drink a glass of wine to warm up." ”
"Isn't the eldest brother taboo alcohol?" Su Murong asked stupidly.
"Stupid-" Su Muyang once again expressed contempt for Su Murong, "An An said that he could drink, so naturally he could drink." ”
"Humph!" Su Murong said that he didn't want to deal with Su Muyang, and then picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, but immediately wrinkled his face, turned around and asked Su Jin'an bitterly: "Third sister, what kind of wine is this, it's not the same as the fruit wine you made before, why is it so weird?" ”
When Su Muyang and Su Muqing heard this, they both picked up their respective wine glasses and tasted them.
"It's really different." Looking at Su Murong's wrinkled face, Su Muyang took a small sip.
"This smell, it's a medicine bar." Su Muqing, a person who has been dealing with medicine all year round, pointed out the key points at once.
"It's the schisandra wine I brewed some time ago, and there was no fruit on a cold day, so I had to make medicinal wine, although it was not as refreshing as fruit wine, but it was very nourishing, and it was the most suitable for big brother." Su Jinan explained.
"Schisandra, this name seems a little familiar, what is it?" Su Muyan was a little curious.
"Schisandra, as the name suggests, is a fruit with five medicinal properties, and it is the best in medicine." Su Jinan replied.
"Five medicinal properties? So powerful! Su Murong's eyes widened in shock.
"Yes!" Su Jinan smiled and continued: "The five medicinal properties refer to pungent, sweet, sour, bitter, and salty, and the name of this schisandra comes from this. ”
"It's so powerful, then I'll have another drink." Su Murong said that he filled another cup for himself, but this time he didn't drink it all, but tasted it carefully in small sips, as if he was seriously looking for the "five flavors", and his stupid behavior amused everyone.
At this moment, on the official road not far from the outskirts of Beijing, a group of people were walking unhurriedly on the road. There were probably only seven or eight of them, and two of them were in front, followed by their retinue. One of the two at the beginning is wearing a gardenia yellow coat with a black coat, which is expensive at first glance. Looking at this person's handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing, coupled with that signature smile, it is not who Rong Chengyi is. The other person walked side by side with Rong Chengyi, dressed in an ink-colored riding suit, with complex and delicate patterns on the neckline and cuffs, and the breath exuded from his body seemed to be colder than this ice and snow, his face was a little pale, but it couldn't hide his handsomeness at all, heroic sword eyebrows, three-dimensional nose bridge, perfect thin lips slightly pursed, but the most noticeable thing on his face was not these, but - his eyes, a pair of eyes with red pupils, were originally as hot as fire on him, but there was no hot feeling on him, On the contrary, if he looks at it, it will make people feel that his hair is standing on end, and his face is a little similar to Rong Chengyi, but his temperament is worlds apart, just like the two extremes of black and white.
"Fifth brother, this is about to arrive in the capital, can you be a little more happy?" Rong Chengyi looked at Rong Chengyi, who was cold all around.
Rong Chengyi's back was straight, and he didn't even give Rong Chengyi a corner of his eye when he looked ahead on the horse, and continued to move forward at a uniform speed.
Rong Chengyi didn't feel embarrassed at all, as if he had long been accustomed to Rong Chengyi's attitude, and then said: "You haven't been back for three years, you said that if you don't come back, forget it, you haven't replied to any of the letters I sent you, and you are not afraid of breaking the second brother's heart." He made a heartbroken expression as he spoke, but Rong Chengjiao still didn't react.
"However, now that the border has been set and you are back, then I don't think you have to leave, let me tell you, the situation in the capital is still a little changing, you must ......" Rong Chengyi said to himself.
Rong Chengyi has been talking for half an hour, Rong Chengyi still hasn't reacted, Rong Chengyi suddenly feels like an old mother, he is usually not like this, alas! Who told him to have such a brother who didn't eat oil and salt?
"Did you hear everything I said?" Rong Chengyi asked a little weakly.
"Hmm." Rong Chengjiao responded expressionlessly.
Rong Chengyi, who didn't have much expectations, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he got a response, and his black phoenix eyes took a serious look at Rong Chengyi: He actually understands everything, but he just doesn't want to show it.
