Yan Qingge walked all the way, enjoying the snow all the way.

In the past, when she lived on a small island in the middle of the lake outside the Jade Lake, she also experienced heavy snowfall, but she did not have the leisure to enjoy the snow.

Because it was so cold at that time, they lived in shacks that were erected, and they were afraid that the smoke pillar would attract brute soldiers, so they did not dare to make a fire, and even cooked secretly, and often had to eat cold food.

That winter, because she couldn't eat hot food and the temperature was very low, she couldn't do it normally, if she didn't practice martial arts every day, she could still warm her hands and feet, otherwise she would have frozen to death.

When I was halfway there, I saw someone striding in front of me, and the corners of the cyan coat behind him were flying, and the feet were extremely fast.

"Uncle! Where do you go early in the morning? Yan Qingge stood still and asked Xiang Le Yi puzzled.

She had already come very early, because she had breakfast with the Gu family these days, and today should be no exception. And the new daughter-in-law's tea ceremony has not yet started, and Le Yi, the father-in-law, left, which is really inappropriate.

Le Yi said: "The weather is suddenly cold, and it snows suddenly, according to the situation in previous years, the barbarians are bound to loot soon, I must go to the staple food situation, I can't wait for a moment." ”

"What about my brother and sister-in-law." Yan Qingge said: "Sister-in-law, will you think too much? ”

"She's not the kind of unreasonable lady in the house." Le Yi said: "When I have time, it's not too late to ask her to serve tea." With that, he strode away.

Yan Qingge bit his lip and went to Gu's house.

Gu's house was warm, and the enticing smell of food came from the house.

Several children got up late and didn't wake up yet, only Gu sat at the table in the room, waiting for Yan Qingge to come and have dinner together.

"Your uncle, I told him to finish the porridge before leaving, he couldn't wait to deliver it, if it wasn't for the maids arriving with food boxes before leaving, I asked the little maid to bring him a stack of cakes and left, he would be hungry again." Gu shook his head, obviously a little unhappy because of Le Yi's sudden departure.

"Auntie, one day this side will be completely settled." Yan Qingge sat down and comforted Gu: "I'm just afraid that my uncle will leave suddenly, and my sister-in-law will feel unappreciated." ”

"It's okay, she's not that kind of person." Gu Shi was not worried about this than Le Yi, and analyzed it for Yan Qingge: "At the beginning, she had seen the scene of the blood mountain and sea of blood killed by the barbarians, and her own parents and relatives were all gone in that disaster. To be honest, if there is another disaster like last time in Qingzhou, most of the women will also stand up and join the army. ”

Yan Qingge snorted, and ate a little with Gu, and after a while, Xu and Le Yi came in together.

The two newlyweds were wearing red clothes and looked in good spirits, and Xu Nu's face was even more delicate, with a lazy and soft appearance unique to a bride.

Gu first explained to Xu what Le Yi went out, and Xu immediately said: "Mother-in-law, what my father-in-law wants to do is a serious matter, and I want to wait for the father-in-law to finish these days with tea, or our Qingzhou defense is important." ”

Gu Shi listened, and was really satisfied, she drank the tea handed by Xu, gave Xu a set of fine jade jewelry she had prepared, and said with a smile: "Jade raiser, you children can wear it and play with it." ”

Yan Qingge also took Xu's hand and said a few thoughtful words, and gave Xu a small box of various colored gems brought from Beijing.

Whether it was the Gu family or Yan Qingge, they were very generous, and they gave Xu's face enough, making her feel more and more that she had a status in this family, and the two sides became closer.

Although Le Xuan was newly married, after drinking tea, he also went out.

As Le Yi's son, although he did not officially hold a regular position in the Yamen, he had already trained under Le Yi.

Le Yi is busy like this today, so he naturally wants to help.

Xu stayed in the house and accompanied Yan Qingge and Gu.

Xu has never been to Beijing, and when he heard Yan Qingge talk about some of the scenery in Beijing, he felt that it was very fresh, and his phoenix eyes were full of curiosity.

"Brother Xuan will definitely go to the capital to take the exam, and when the time comes, ask him to bring you, and you can go there to play." But I think Qingzhou is also very good. If I were to choose a place to call home, I would definitely choose Qingzhou. Yan Qingge said seriously.

She wasn't joking, but to lay a foundation for coming to Qingzhou with Yan Xiuyu in the future.

Xu nodded and said, "I also think Qingzhou is great, after all, this is my hometown." ”

The three of them were chatting happily, and the nurse hugged Yan Wan'er and Ah Man over, both of them woke up, had eaten again, and were making a fuss about playing in the snow, but the nurses couldn't suppress them, so they brought them to Yan Qingge's side. The weather in Qingzhou is dripping into ice, and playing in the snow in the place, in case something freezes, it will be troublesome.

As soon as Yan Wan'er saw Yan Qingge, she asked, "Mother, where is the little uncle?" ”

Yan Wan'er, who is close in age, and Le Liang are playing very well these days, and even with Ah Man, who has just been able to walk staggeringly, the three children are almost inseparable.

Yan Qingge said: "You forgot, your Uncle Leliang has already begun to recognize words, and you have to connect the big characters for a while in the morning to play." ”

Usually Yan Wan'er and Aman get up late, Le Liang gets up early, and he writes quickly, almost just after Le Liang finishes writing, he picks up and plays with Yan Wan'er and Aman.

But today it was cold, the inkstone in the study was full of ice, and the brush washed yesterday was also frozen into ice lumps.

"Mother, aunt and grandmother, can Aman and I go to see my little uncle write, I promise not to quarrel with him." Yan Wan'er said coquettishly.

Yan Wan'er has been playing with Le Liang for a long time these days, and her personality is much more lively.

Yan Qingge said: "You don't make noise, Aman is very noisy." As she spoke, she took Aman in her arms and pinched his cheek: "This little naughty ghost." ”

When Yan Wan'er was talking to her, Aman almost sneaked out of the door several times, staring at the snow outside, if it wasn't for the nurse who kept staring at him, he would really want to go out.

Yan Wan'er wanted to go to Le Liang, but she was reluctant to go to Aman, she was distressed for a while, and her brows furrowed slightly, looking a little sad.

Xu looked at Yan Wan'er enviously, and then looked at Aman, Yan Qingge was one year younger than her, and now she was a mother of two children, and she didn't know when she would be pregnant and have her own child.

"Wan'er, this is the eldest aunt, you came here in the morning, why don't you say hello to the eldest aunt." Yan Qingge pulled Yan Wan'er and said.

Yan Wan'er was said by Yan Qingge, and hid behind Yan Qingge a little shyly, Hei Shengsheng's big eyes looked at Xu, and said in a low voice: "Aunt Wan'an, Wan'er say hello to aunt." ”

Xu likes what she likes, and took out a small jade plate tied with a red rope from her sleeve, the color is shiny, it is carved from the best mutton fat white jade, and the pattern on it is a jade rabbit pounding medicine, delicate and cute, and said: "I heard my mother-in-law say that Wan'er is cute, and when I saw her today, I knew that she was better than what my mother-in-law said." This is my gift for Wan'er. ”

Although this thing is good, it is not a valuable thing for Yanwangfu, but Xu's mind is there, Yan Qingge hugged Yan Wan'er to him: "Why are you shy now, come, aunt will give it to you, you can wear it." ”

"Wan'er thanked her aunt!" Yan Wan'er stretched her neck and asked Xu to hang the jade plaque around her neck.

"It's a gift to Aman." Xu took out a pair of golden anklets, which were made of ten percent of red gold, with various auspicious patterns engraved on them, which were very chic, and also brought a small bell, which jingled when he moved slightly.

After waiting for about half an hour, Le Liang finally finished writing, and Xu took out a gift for his uncle, which was a box carried by her personal maid, which contained a full set of clothes she made for Le Liang.

As soon as there were many people in the house, the atmosphere was more cheerful, the charcoal basin was burning vigorously, a few children were jumping and jumping, laughing and making trouble, and the adults were also laughing and laughing.

By noon, snow began to fall again.

It didn't take long for the snow in the Gu clan to be swept up by the maids, and it was covered with a layer of new white in a short time.

When the food came up, Xu asked shyly: "Mother-in-law, should we send some hot meals to my father-in-law and father-in-law." ”

"They are in the yamen, and they have someone to cook hot food for them, so they don't need it. And, maybe they'll be out of town today. After she finished speaking, she added another sentence to comfort Xu: "Xuan'er is newly married and will come back in the evening." ”

Xu's face was flushed, and he lowered his long neck, and even his neck was blushing.

Yan Qingge recalled that when he and Yan Xiuyu got married, he didn't seem to have been so shy at every turn. Probably because they have known each other since childhood, they are very familiar with each other, and when they confide in each other, they have experienced too many things, so their relationship has passed the stage of meeting and being ashamed of each other early.

Unexpectedly, the snow became heavier and heavier, and then a strong wind blew, rolling the snow like goose feathers, whining in the air. The snow on the ground was only one afternoon, and it was thick enough to cover people's feet.

Yan Qingge was very worried and asked Gu: "Auntie, you said that uncle will go out of the city today?" Such a big snowstorm, uncle? ”

Gu's face was also a little bad, although Le Yi had a clear understanding of the surrounding terrain, but today's weather was really bad. But according to her understanding of Le Yi, he will really leave Yuhu City today and go to several dangerous towns and villages to patrol.

"Hey! I knew that I would ask him to bring some ginseng slices, and then put on the big sweater. Gu sighed.

Usually, Gu is always optimistic, and even she began to sigh, which means that the situation is really bad.

The three women sat in their home, looking at the lead-gray sky covered with snow, and there was silence.
