This winter's snow is thick, and the plum blossoms bloom late, but they are also more delicate.

Mu Qingyan held Yu Ranyan's hand, Yan Xuechu and Chu Ling pulled each other, and each brought some maids, and there were more than a dozen people. The plum trees were densely planted, and the trees were next to each other, and the branches were on top of each other.

The pale red palace powder has an elegant aroma, and it has come before entering the garden gate; The plum tree with cinnabar flowers is quite proud, and even under the heavy pressure of the heavy snow, it refuses to bow its head, looking at it from a distance, the red is hidden under the white, and the white is set off by the red, which contrasts with each other.

Mu Qingyan shook off the snow on the branches, picked up a plum blossom that was not yet fully bloomed, picked it and threw it into his mouth, closed his eyes and quietly felt the aroma spread in his mouth, down his throat, and the lingering fragrance lingered.

Several people looked at her appearance, and they all went to pick one and throw it into their mouths and taste it. After half a ring, he spit it out again, laughing and laughing at Mu Qingyan for being stupid.

Mu Qingyan bent down, picked up the snow on the ground, squeezed it tightly a few times, and threw it at a few people, who ran away laughing. She was unwilling, so she went to pick up the snow ball again, and then threw it over. The men saw that she was still lost, and they all went to catch the snow and threw it at her, laughing and making trouble, and ran into the depths of Merlin.

In an open open space with few plum trees, Jade Eyes let her maid set up the piano and sat on the ground with her cloak rolled, and the snow flew at the sound of the piano; Chu Ling has learned court dance since he was a child, and at this time, his footsteps began to rotate consciously with the sound of the piano. Yan Xuechu tilted her head and actually learned Chu Ling's footwork.

Mu Qingyan took out his father's white jade piccolo from his sleeve, and relied on the plum branch to insert the flute sound into the piano sound, and Yu Ranqing was in perfect harmony.

The sound of the piano is around the beam, the sound of the flute is crisp, and the skill is exquisite, which is very suitable for the scene.

Dongfang Fengyue was so surprised that she forgot to close her mouth, and looked at a few people in a daze, with a lot of envy in her heart.

Chu Jin also knew that the plum blossoms in Qilin Villa were blooming very well, so he pulled Qin Yan, Nangong Yin, Nangong Hao and Xiang Tianqi into the forest to enjoy the plum blossoms.

Qin Yan only had the figure of the purple dress in his eyes at this time, watching her pick the plum blossom entrance, watching her close her eyes and her cherry lips moving slightly, she was really tasting the plum blossoms. The delicate lip color comparable to plum blossoms made his heart beat rapidly, and he suddenly longed for that Yanran......

A few steps late and fell behind, plucked the plum blossoms on the branch and rolled them into his lips and tongue, and instantly felt the fragrance enter his heart, and the uncontrollable red cloud climbed behind his ears. Behind his back his hands, he quietly followed behind everyone, without saying a word.

His fiancée, the first beauty in the capital, was standing on the side, but he forgot to take a look.

Nangong Yin was preoccupied, looking at Mu Qingyan, she didn't dare to step forward like before, but just looked at her from a distance, feeling guilty in her heart, like a knife.

Nangong Hao's face was not good, since that day he had some marginal thoughts, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, let alone say it, tormenting him day and night.

The group did not alarm a few young ladies, and went in the other direction along the road.

They didn't think about it, they just didn't want to disturb a few young ladies, but after going deep into the forest, they heard music from a distance. Several people paused in unison, staring and listening.

The sound of the piano is very recognizable, it must be the skill of Miss Dye Qing of the Jade Family in the famous capital, and the sound of the flute is leisurely and clear, and I don't know who is playing. At the end of the song, I felt that it was not enough, but I waited for a long time and no music came, which was quite a pity.

They didn't know that such a beautiful flute sound came from Miss Mujiaqingyan, the lady in the world's mouth. Even Yan Xuechu and Yu Ranqing, who grew up together, didn't know that she still had such ability.

Mu Qingyan was just attracted by such a beautiful artistic conception and the sound of the jade dyed piano, and he couldn't hold back for a while.

Yan Xuechu pulled Yu Ranqing to get up, the maids took the piano, and a few people patted off the snowflakes and plum petals on their bodies and walked back.

Dongfang Fengyue was ashamed in her heart: If you talk about family history, this Eastern Chu country is afraid that in addition to the royal family, only her family is the most noble, several generations have gathered wealth, rich and rival the country, she is the only daughter of the Dongfang family, since she was a child, she was raised like the stars holding the moon. I invited the best gentleman to teach me all kinds of skills, and none of the princesses in the palace could compare with me. But these people in front of them, although they are all from everyone's background, they are inferior to a layer of wealth, but their words and deeds, and their relationship with each other in the world are not as good as they are. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad.

The group returned to the painting hall that they had come out of, and the old lady of the East was about to send someone to call a few of them back to sit down.

The banquet is placed in the courtyard where Dongfang Yin and the old lady live. The doors of the main hall and the painting hall were all opened, and seats were set up in the main hall for the men, and in the painting hall was the old lady of the East leading a group of distinguished female guests.

A stage was set up in the courtyard between the main hall and the painting hall, and the palace watched the play.

The banquet was fully open, and the drums were playing in unison, which was very lively.

The chief seat in the hall sat Dongfang Yin, the head was Chu Jing, and then the Taishi. The first one on the right hand sat Mu Zheng, the old lady of Nangong, and on the opposite side were Qin Xiangye and Yu Che.

The rest of the seats, regardless of status, all sat side by side with the people they liked.

Several young sons crowded together, Dongfang Fengjue sat on the main seat, Chu Jin sat side by side, Qin Yan and Nangong Yin at the top, Nangong Hao and Xiang Tianqi on the opposite; The first one sat down with Mu Qinghan, and Jing Liang sat down next to him.

Several people have been together for a long time, and they don't care about some small things, pushing each other's glasses and changing glasses, and talking about wine.

Qin Yan inadvertently raised his head and looked at the man who was a little similar to Mu Qingyan, among the people present today, he was the top. There was a little good feeling in his heart, and he didn't move, after a few glances, he turned his head and drank silently.

Mu Qinghan felt that scrutinizing gaze, and looked up to look for the person, but it happened that the person was no longer looking, and he didn't know who it was for a while.

He has always been indifferent to the world, and he is more intimate with Dongfang Fengjue, but he is also polite. There was another person opposite, dignified, but he knew who that person was, it was the fiancé of the woman he loved.

The heart was dull and painful, he had always been good at hiding his emotions, but he let the pain spread in the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't see it on his face.

Jing Liang walked closer to him, sat down next to him, and chatted with each other.

Besides, in the painting hall, the chief was placed in front of the door, the old lady of the East took it for granted that she was in the main position, the old master of the Yan family and Nangong Yingyue accompanied each other on the left and right, the eldest princess refused to sit at this table, saying that she had nothing to say to the old ladies, and several old ladies laughed and scolded her. The housewife of the Dongfang family had to invite Mrs. He, and Mrs. Zhong and the housewife of the Xiang family sat down.

The housewife of the Dongfang family, with the eldest princess, Chu Han, Mrs. Xiangguo, the housewife of King Jing's Mansion, Feng Qiyun, Yan Xi and Mrs. Nangong, chose the innermost seat, and gave the seat closer to the door to the young ladies for them to watch the play.

Dongfang Fengyue, Fang Xiwen, Chu Ling, Mu Qingyan, Yu Ranqing, Yan Xuechu, He Yu, and Zhong Ziyao sat at the nearest seat at the door.

There are also some remaining female guests, together with the relatives of Dongfang's own family, accompanied by the masters of Dongfang's family, sit down next to each other, listen to the sound of drums on the stage, and officially open the table.

At the banquet, there were a variety of dishes, Mu Qingyan just picked up the two chopsticks and refused to move, she was always very picky when eating.

Chu Ling also relied on his own temperament, and he didn't twist at all. Yu Ranqing and Yan Xuechu are okay, they are used to being well-behaved on weekdays, and they know how to restrain them.

Dongfang Fengyue, Miss He and Miss Zhong are well-behaved, they do not exceed the slightest trace, and their training is excellent.

He Yu and Zhong Ziyao usually have a lot of experience with such banquets, and they have developed a good habit of sitting and eating. Looking at the sitting party of a few people today, the corners of his mouth were slightly mocking, although he was not good at sneering, but he also looked down on him in his heart. In the end, it is the last class of Shinong industry and commerce, and even the most basic lady should have the demeanor, although the clothing and jewelry are good, they can no longer raise everyone's beautiful bearing.

The two of them looked at each other once, although the two of them don't usually get along, but at this time, they were very united in their hearts and minds to see each other as the ladies of the courtesy.

The drama on the stage was singing lively, but the eyes of the two young ladies invariably went to the opposite hall to find the lover in their hearts. Anyway, the children's table was placed under the window, and it was far away.

The luncheon lasted for a long time before it was withdrawn, everyone rinsed their mouths and cleaned their hands, the maid made tea and served it, and everyone sat around and gossiped and listened to the play.

The eldest princess was more lively, and told some jokes about the market: there was a rich man who was very stingy, and he put salted beans in a bottle, and every time he ate, he used chopsticks to pick a few grains into the rice. On this day, he was eating, and suddenly someone told him, "Your son is eating big fish and meat in the restaurant!" When the rich man heard this, he scolded, "For whom have I worked so hard to save?" Then he poured out a handful of salt beans from the bottle, stuffed them all into his mouth, and said as he chewed, "I'm also a loser!" ”

When the words fell, Nangong Yingyue threw a chestnut meat over, straightened the eldest princess's forehead, and scolded with a smile, "You have a lot of moths!" ”

The ladies were still more reserved, the old lady of the East and Yan Feng laughed back and forth, the ladies had never heard such a joke, and they all laughed along.

The eldest princess was so upset, so Jian Xiang instigated her to say another one.

The eldest princess pondered for a moment, "I'll tell you something more interesting: There is a county official who is afraid of the inside, and he was broken by his wife one day, and he went to court the next day. The county magistrate replied: "Last night, in the cold, the grape trellis fell, so it was scratched." He was too untrustworthy and said: "This must be your wife's fault, let Soap Li take her to the court." Unexpectedly, Taishou's wife was furious after listening to it in the back hall, and rushed out of the hall, and Taishou panicked and said to the county official: "If you retire temporarily, the grape trellis in my inner office will also fall." ”

The eldest princess distinguishes the characters in her voice, and her voice is full of emotion and color.

Everyone laughed again, but the gongs and drums on the stage stopped.

I saw two people flying up on the three-foot-high stage, one in a red robe and one in a black shirt. The hand in the red robe holds a fan, and the man in the black shirt holds a bamboo branch.

The red-robed man's body spun and swam away, and a discerning person knew at first sight that this was a skillful man. The black-shirted man has a bamboo branch in his hand, but he is a heavy weapon. They don't give in to each other, and they can't tell the difference between high and low for a while.

A few young ladies couldn't help but stand up and lean closer to the window to take a closer look.

"Xiang Tianqi is afraid that he is not Nangong Hao's opponent, Nangong Hao wants to win, but ten moves will be clear!" Yan Xuechu looked at the two of them with her eyes and whispered to a few people around her.

"Xiang Tianqi brakes without moving, and the wind moves the tree, I'm afraid that Nangong Hao can't do it; However, there is a big difference in the martial arts of the two, and Xiang Tianqi is not as good as others in terms of skills! Yu Ranqing also looked out.

Mu Qingyan raised her eyes and took a look, turned her head and picked up the teacup and drank the tea quietly, maybe Qing'er and Xue Chu were right, but Nangong Hao's martial arts she knew best, I was afraid that it was not only so simple, he did not do his best.

The five tigers of the Xiangjia family are famous all over the world, and walking on the rivers and lakes is not only good at martial arts, but also courageous, and most importantly, righteous. And Xiang Tianqi's unruly temperament is a material for getting on the horse to kill the enemy, he has a kind of bravery, but Nangong Hao can't do it.

Sure enough, Xiang Tianqi in the thirteenth move was pointed on the ring jumping point by Nangong Hao, and he couldn't move.

Nangong Hao circled around Xiang Tianqi, smiled, and jumped off the stage step by step.

"Hey, Nangong Hao, you unlock my acupoint, hey, hey, hey......" Xiang Tianqi called him half angrily and half begging.

Nangong Hao didn't hear it, entered the main hall and sat down, picked up the freshly brewed tea, swept away the floating leaves, and slowly drank half of it.

It turned out that these young masters in the main hall were not convinced by anyone when it came to martial arts, and Nangong Hao was impulsive, so he wanted to compete with Xiang Tianqi. Of course, Xiang Tianqi didn't admit that his kung fu was poor, so the two of them both went on stage.

Dongfang Fengjue shook his head, flew up to the stage, and untied Xiang Tianqi's acupoint with one finger, "You slow down and then walk, Nangong Hao has this temper, don't take it seriously." ”

"He's a scoundrel!" Complain to Tianqi.

Dongfang Fengjue chuckled, let him get off the stage, stood on the stage with his long body, and raised his voice in the main hall, "Come up, let's make a few moves!" ”

Mu Qinghan didn't shirk, came out of the main hall and walked under the stage, and gently floated down on the stage. Dongfang Fengjue has always been a stable person, not a showy temperament, this time he asked himself to go to the stage, most likely because he really wanted to learn from each other.

"Gongzi Jue's subordinates are merciful, they are not your opponents!" Mu Qinghan is still so light.

Dongfang Yin and Mu Zheng both stood at the door, one with his hands behind his back, and the other with his beard, looking at the two juniors on the stage, with joy in the corners of their eyebrows and eyes. The young talents of the Eastern Chu Kingdom, their own children are afraid of being the first place.
