The girls were collecting the snow on the petals, and Yue'er was going back to make tea, and a few people didn't walk in the garden for a while before returning to Linxue Building.

When a few people came out, they ordered people to close the doors and windows, and when they went back, they suddenly felt warm, and Yue'er pulled Shu'er to nest in the warmest place to chat, because Brother Ping has always been by Shu'er's side, and Su Zhi and Su Tan are also here.

Su Tong took a handful of nine rings, asked Shu'er's opinion and gave it to Brother Ping, when Brother Ping timidly stretched out his hand to pick it up, Su Tong said to him gently: "Brother Ping, we knew each other when we were young, but it's a pity that you don't recognize me now." ”

Su Tan also sent someone back to fetch Kong Ming's lock before, and also gave it to Brother Ping'er and said, "I envy you for living a simple and pure life like you are now." ”

Brother Ping felt the kindness of these two people, so he looked at them blankly and smiled, and then leaned on Shu'er's shoulder to play.

Brother Ping was a little anxious during the meal, he didn't know how to use chopsticks, so he saw that Su Zhi and Su Tan were both serving Yue'er vegetables, but he was in a hurry and still couldn't put the dishes in Shu'er's bowl.

Shu'er said apologetically to Su Tong: "Your Highness is smiling, the folk girl wants to take an empty plate for Brother Ping'er." ”

It's just a matter of talking to the next person, why do you want to say hello to Su Zhi, the master.

Because next, Shu'er asked people to pick some of each dish and put it on the plate, and then put it in front of Brother Ping and said to him: "You can use your hands." ”

Brother Ping was suddenly happy, so he fed it to himself and Shu'er little by little.

Shu'er didn't mind if they would be made fun of at all, and every time she took a bite, she exaggeratedly said, "It's so delicious, Brother Ping, you can eat it too." ”

Yue'er took a spoon and was about to hand it to Shu'er, but was secretly stopped by Su Tong, who shook her head invisibly.

After the meal, Shu'er helped Brother Ping wash her hands and wiped her mouth carefully, and Brother Ping also followed her example and clumsily scrubbed Shu'er. No matter how messy it is, Shu'er is not in a hurry or annoyed, she just looks at Brother Ping with happy eyes, as if there are only the two of them here.

Su Zhi is also used to doing these things, usually Yue'er has to hide, but today she is very well-behaved and let Su Zhi help her wipe her hands and wipe her mouth.

Brother Ping'er was sleepy when he was full, and the person who was more than a head taller than Shu'er arched his head into Shu'er's neck socket and closed his eyes and said, "Brother Ping, sleep." ”

Shu'er hurriedly said goodbye to Yue'er, and when she was about to salute the two princes, she was stopped by Yue'er, and several people sent him and his wife out of the house.

Along the way, Su Zhi held Yue'er's hand, and Su Tan rarely followed quietly, and no longer quarreled with Su Zhi.

Looking at the carriage in the distance, Su Zhi looked sideways at Yue'er, and wanted to ask her: "If I were like Brother Ping, would you want me?" But he didn't dare to ask this, because he was not like Brother Ping, and she still refused to ask him.

It is only when she pretends to be happy in front of the old man that she is willing to accept everything from him.

The guests are gone, Su Tan is also gone, Yue'er still returned to Linxue Tower wrapped in a thick fox fur, and pushed open the window to look at the entire plum garden and the entire Yanwang Mansion.

Su Tong stuffed a stove into her hand, and stayed quietly beside her. The subordinates have already packed up, and they all retreat now.

Yue'er watched all this quietly, just like that birthday many years ago, and it was also in this Linxue Building, when she was nine years old.

Brother Tan was fifteen years old, he returned to Beijing from the military camp, and when he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was just in time for Yue'er's birthday. He gave her a lot of things that she had brought back from the border gates. It was all carefully selected by him from his trophies, and it was some of the jewelry and gems that the girl's family liked.

Some things that are difficult to see in the Central Plains, Yue'er is also the first time to see them, and she immediately happily asked Su Tan a lot of things on the battlefield. Nine-year-old Yue'er tugged at Su Tan's sleeve and said, "Brother Tan, when I grow up, you can take me to the battlefield, I want to watch you kill the enemy." ”

Su Tan smiled and rubbed her head: "The little girl can't go to the battlefield, it's too dangerous there." When there are no more Tatars in the future, Brother Tan will take you to play, okay? ”

Yue'er innocently looked at Brother Tan, who was much taller than herself, and asked, "Brother Tan, when will you be able to return to Beijing next time?" ”

"When Yue'er and Brother Lutan will return to Beijing, what kind of gift does Yue'er want?"

Yue'er thought for a while, touched the saber on his waist and said, "Yue'er wants a weapon, and if you hang it on your waist like this, you can go to the battlefield with Brother Tan." ”

Su Tan looked down at his sword, and suddenly smiled: "This sword is too heavy Yue'er to swing, Brother Tan will give you a short blade then." ”

Yue'er took out Su Tan's sword and tried it, it was so heavy that she couldn't lift her hands, so she nodded and pointed at the sword: "It's so short, I can take it, Brother Tan is talking, and he will definitely come back then." ”

Su Tan nodded heavily, he was saying in his heart: "Yue'er, I'll come back when you get ready, and come back to marry you." ”

Soon after leaving Beijing, he rushed to Hetao, and heard the news of the accident in Zuo Xiangfu, and Su Tan almost didn't return to Beijing directly.

But he couldn't help it, if he returned to Beijing without permission, he would be regarded as an accomplice, not only would he not be able to help Yue'er, but he would no longer have the opportunity to help her in the future.

When he heard that something had happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Tan cut his sword into a short blade and kept it with him.

And this short blade is also stained with countless blood on his hand, he just wants to make it stained with more blood, full of evil energy, and can protect Yue'er in the future.

Yue'er didn't know what Su Tan had done over the years, nor did she know how he had grown to the present.

Brother Tan, who was much taller than himself back then, is now taller, more mature and handsome. His handsomeness is different from Su Zhi's, which always makes people feel warm when they look at it.

Su Zhi looks tough and evil, while Su Tan is gentle and elegant, quiet and introverted, but you don't know how much blood he has on his hands, and you can't imagine his heroic appearance on the battlefield.

In fact, not only Yue'er, but also the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty who had not seen it with their own eyes, did not know that His Royal Highness King Su, the fourth prince, was so ruthless on the battlefield, and his eyes were full of cold murderous aura, as long as it was the person he wanted to kill, he was not still alive in this world.

Yue'er has always believed that Brother Tan is the best and gentlest brother. And Su Zhi made her a little helpless, always feeling that he didn't look like a good person. Take advantage of her at every turn, chat with him about some serious things, and listen to his hints or explicit words after a while.

I don't know what Yue'er thought of again, and her face became more and more gloomy.

Thinking about her, she became a little impatient with Su Zhi, and the hot tea he handed over was waved by her annoyance, and it fell to the ground. The tea soaked the thick woolen carpet, and the tea cup rolled on the carpet a few times before it stopped moving.

She got up and said, "I'm tired today, I'll go back and rest first." ”

Su Tong frowned, got up and said, "I'll send you." ”

Yue'er was a little displeased: "I'm more familiar with this place than the young master, so I'll go back by myself." ”

Su Zhi stood on the Linxue Tower and watched Yue'er gradually walk away, and the tea cup on the ground was still there. Snow fell outside, and in a moment her footprints were covered with snow, as if she had never walked there.
