The New Year is approaching, the Marquis of Mao Guo led the identity of the first minister, naturally ushered in the send-off, visitors like clouds, and the entire Hou Mansion was busy, on the one hand, in response to the New Year's preparations, on the other hand, and thoughtful about the etiquette between the nobles in Beijing, but no one put their energy on this poor woman in the guest house.

In Wei Miaozhi's spare time, he just came here to sit here for a while, asking about some foreign scenery and people, and telling some secret anecdotes in Beijing to listen. Knowing that Pei Zhenwan was good at piano dancing, she was interested, so she sent someone to send a few piano flutes, and asked her to play it with her with a smile.

On this day of the New Year, the Hou Mansion is even busier, sweeping the New Year's sacrificial stove, decorating the top and bottom, and it becomes more and more New Year's flavor. The kitchen is even more intimate, and sent exquisite crisp stove candy, venison fire, three pepper pancakes, and white jade hibiscus soup to the guest house, Pei Zhenwan lives alone, naturally she doesn't need so much, she picks up a few things, and the rest is eaten by the two girls who sprinkle and sweep.

Ordinary Wei Miao day to see a glance, but today is the time to come. Looking a little tired, Pei Zhenwan glanced at it, only sat down with a smile, poured tea, and said, "Miss, but she is tired of dealing with etiquette during the day?" ”

"Maybe," Wei Miaozhi shook his head, and the beaded flowers next to his temples also swayed, "Thinking that my sister is cleaner here, let's sit for a while." ”

"I know a little bit about massage, so it's better to help the young lady relieve her fatigue." Pei Zhenwan got up with a smile, the lotus step moved lightly, and she was already by her side, a pair of soft and boneless jade hands, gently holding it, but it was a little weighty.

Wei Miaozhi suddenly felt that his shoulders were much more comfortable, and he couldn't help but smile: "My sister is so good at craftsmanship, is it a medical Tao?" ”

"Where, from a small family, I just massaged my father and mother a lot when I was young." Pei Zhenwan replied casually, but secretly looked at Miss Wei's expression, a little hesitant, a little confused, naturally not tired.

"My sister has a good heart and is versatile, if he is destined for a talented person in the future, it will be his blessing."

Pei Zhenwan's hand slowed for a moment, did not speak, and continued to hold it gently. For a while, there was an embarrassing breath in the room, like a gossamer entangled with Wei Miaozhi, burning and itching alternately, and I felt uncomfortable. It wasn't until Pei Zhenwan finished massaging and sat down with her hands clean that Wei Miaozhi slowly exhaled two breaths and relaxed.

"But Master Hou asked the young lady to inquire about the news?" Pei Zhenwan raised the teacup, gently brushed off the foam, and said lightly.

Wei Miaozhi's body that had just loosened down tightened again, "Why did my sister say that?" ”

Pei Zhenwan smiled indifferently and put down the teacup: "Miss wrote it on her face when she came in, and besides, even if I live in the mansion and see Miss from time to time, with my age and I am still unmarried, Lord Hou and Mrs. should pay more attention to Miss, but don't be deceived by bad people." ”

"Good sister, you're not angry, are you?"

"Naturally not," Pei Zhenwan said with a smile, "Miss can tell Master Hou that I did have a marriage contract in my early years, but two years ago, the old man donated the official to serve as the county yin, so he no longer wanted to marry me, the daughter of a down-and-out talent, so they were just two sides." ”

When Wei Miaozhi heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Why do you worship high and low like this, with my sister's talent and appearance, I am afraid that the son of Yin in Jiupin County is not worthy of carrying shoes with you." ”

Pei Zhenwan smiled, raised her sleeves to cover for a while, and said, "I'm not in a hurry, why is Miss angry, but as an irrelevant person, it's just that." It's that the young lady doesn't go out, she doesn't know the people's livelihood and suffering, and in the eyes of ordinary people, the county Yin is already a big official. ”

"Jiupin County Yin, but the last class."

"Master Hou is the first minister of the Chen State, and his status is noble, and the young lady naturally doesn't care about the last county government. It can be known that under the Yin of this county, there are also six rooms for the officials and soldiers, and the people in the county, which one doesn't look at them like a big man? ”

Wei Miaozhi hadn't heard of this, but thinking about the boundary between the government and the people, he was also a person who knew a little bit, so he comforted and said: "That's okay, Luodu is full of talents, and my sister will naturally have a better marriage." ”

Pei Zhenwan's eyes flashed, and she said in a deep voice: "Now I am an orphan girl, and I can only hope to meet my lover." If one day, there are rich and powerful people who have mercy, I will make these coarse people in the countryside regret and feel guilty. ”

Wei Miaozhi was a little stunned, and it took a while to wake up, and she murmured, "I never thought that my sister was so resolute. ”

"Where is the courage, but just a breath of air. With my background, I naturally do not have the blessing of wealth and nobility, and after the New Year, I will also leave for my hometown. ”

"Why should my sister be presumptuous, just by saying that with my Hou Mansion's words, Luo Du doesn't dare to look down on his sister, but I'm afraid that they won't be able to enter my sister's insight."

Pei Zhenwan hid her face and smiled: "Miss's own sister is a concubine, that is the phoenix among people, the slave family said 'sister', but I don't dare to regard myself as the master of the palace." ”

Wei Miaozhi also realized that his words were wrong, so he smiled, chatted a few words, and then found an excuse and got up to leave. Pei Zhenwan didn't keep it, and carefully told the maid to hold the lamp to light the way and send it straight to the door.

That night, the snow particles drifted in Luodu, which were blown by the wind, and there was a rustling sound on the window. Pei Zhenwan wrapped her cotton clothes and stood in the courtyard, looking at the sky in the moonlight, letting the snow particles fall on the surface, cold, melting, warm, and cold again.

Pei Zhenwan closed her eyes and murmured, her heart must be colder and harder than this snow particle from now on, so that she can go all the way firmly.
