Chapter 24: It's just Geng Yu who is warm
After returning from playing in the snow this time, Mu Peipei did not come to Geng Yu again. The little koi was addicted to playing in the snow, but unfortunately it didn't snow much that day, and it didn't snow again for a few days.
Although it is still November, Geng Yu also has to worry about many matters related to the change of guard in the military camp for the New Year, and he always runs to the military camp at two ends in three days. The little koi is not good at sticking to him all the time, so he can only stay in the side room and watch the Evian embroidery.
Evian is a very skillful girl, and the batch of clothes that Geng Yu customized in the ready-to-wear store has been sent back to the house, and these days Evian has embroidered delicate koi patterns with gold and silver threads on the edges and corners of those clothes. The little koi fish sat on the side and watched, and when Evian handed over the needle and thread, they would also try to embroider by themselves.
It's a pity that the embroidery work is really not easy to do, although the little koi can also embroider some patterns, but it is not beautiful at all. Cuiliu watched the little koi peek at the clothes in Evian's hand, and then looked at the handkerchief in her hand, and then unconsciously revealed an aggrieved and innocent look, which was funny and distressed.
These days, they all like the little koi very much, they are cute, and they are very considerate of them, and they seem to be much better with her for a while, and even do things a lot better. At this time, Cuiliu couldn't see her little aggrieved expression, so she simply ran to find Fubo.
Early the next morning, Fauber brought someone to the side room to invite the little koi.
"If the girl is idle, why don't you go with me to pick some plum blossoms." Fu Bo stood outside the door with his hands folded with a smile, "Every year at this time, the house will pick some plum blossoms and come back, either pickled or dried, and it is good to use them to make wine or make some snacks during the New Year." The girl should have gone to play with us. ”
The little koi hesitated a little, and then responded.
Evian doesn't like to go out to play, so she only brought Cuiliu with her. Fu Bo drove the carriage, and a group of small maids walked beside them with small baskets and small scissors, and everyone went to the back door of the little general's mansion for a mile. There is a small plum blossom forest.
The maids were laughing and picking flowers in the forest, the little maids were also smiling and chatting and taking care of them, and Fauber was sitting on the carriage and the old god was looking at everyone, and he was also smiling kindly. The little koi was also infected by this joyful atmosphere, took a small pair of scissors and walked around the forest, Cuiliu followed her with a small basket, helped her pull the plum branches down, and she cut off the plum blossoms that bloomed just right and put them in the basket.
A bold maid picked a bouquet of plum blossoms, and under the coaxing of her companions, she put the whole hairpin in the hair of the little koi. The little koi reacted and smiled sweetly at her, and then cut some plum branches and made a small wreath for the maid. Suddenly, everyone came to the heart, laughing and laughing to give the little koi hairpin.
The little koi immediately slipped away to Fu Bo's side, and Fu Bo smiled and escorted the little koi into the carriage, and blasted away those foolish maids, and then there was a small wreath of plum fragrance on his head.
Fauber touched the delicate petals, only to feel relieved.
The little koi waited until everyone's attention had dissipated, then got out of the carriage again and walked slowly towards the depths of Merlin. Behind Merlin is a small lake, and there is a layer of ice on the surface of the lake, and it looks like the ice is quite solid. The little koi fish took out two sweet dimples, she had vaguely seen the scene when she was playing with the maids in the woods just now, and sure enough, she guessed correctly.
The little koi fish stood by the lake, a little ready to move.
"Girl, don't go up and play." Cuiliu persuaded her beside her, "Last time, the master took you to play, but this time the master is not here, and the slave and maid don't have the ability to protect your safety like the master, you are still ......"
"I see that the surface of this lake is frozen firmly, and it is not impossible for your girl to play with it."
A familiar voice sounded, Cuiliu looked at the person who came, Fu Yifu body, "Miss Mu." ”
The little koi turned around and also saw Mu Peipei, who was dressed in a red cloak and was as bright as a flame. She also nodded slightly, "Miss Mu." ”
"Miss Jin Li." Mu Peipei smiled, then stepped on the ice first, and walked steadily towards the lake.
The little koi let Cuiliu wait by the lake, and he followed him step by step to the center of the lake. Cuiliu didn't dare to disobey the order to follow, and wanted to report to Fu Bo, but she was worried that the little koi fish really fell and she couldn't rescue herself, so she could only stand by the lake and be in a hurry.
The little koi originally thought that Mu Peipei had something to say to herself, but until the center of the lake, Mu Peipei only smiled and told her to pay attention to her feet if she wanted to play with ice, because some places on the ice were not solid.
The little koi looked at Mu Peipei's reddish eyes, thanked her, and then played with herself. Although she felt that this Mu girl might have experienced some complicated mental journeys in the past few days, she didn't have much curiosity and sense of responsibility for anyone other than Geng Yu, so she didn't plan to investigate it at all.
It's just that it's not fun to play by yourself, and the little koi fish slipped a little and then planned to go back to shore.
Seeing that she was leaving, Mu Peipei stopped her, "Miss Jin Li." ”
The little koi looked back at her, "What else is wrong with Miss Mu?" But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
Mu Pei Pei looked at Merlin behind her, smiled, and then whispered, "The ice is cracked." ”
The little koi looked down and found that there were some cracks in the ice at Mu Peipei's feet, which had been standing in the middle of the lake, and it was spreading to her feet little by little. The little koi subconsciously wanted to retreat, but looking at the cracks that were getting denser and denser, some wanted to step forward and pull Mu Peipei a hand.
"If you go now, you will naturally be able to return to the shore safely." Mu Peipei lowered her eyes, looked at the crack under her feet and smiled, "But I will definitely fall into the water." If you don't go, it's just a little longer and we'll both fall into the water. She looked up again and looked at Merlin behind the little koi.
"You know, I'm Brother Yu I met five years ago." Mu Peipei's voice was very soft, and it was blown away by the wind. "I was only twelve. It was also winter, and it snowed at the end of September, and by this time the ice was already very cold. ”
The little koi was a little distracted, thinking that it was a pity that there was no snow so early this year to play in. She looked at her feet again, and added in her mind: the ice was not very thick either.
"He was discussing with my father and them in my pavilion in the middle of the lake, and he was still very young at that time, but he could talk and laugh with such a group of long-bearded men. I've never seen him as a young and mature boy, and standing in the middle of such a group of gentlemen, he is too handsome. "I want to cross the frozen lake and sneak up to see him." …… But the ice was so thick that it cracked for some reason. ”
Her wandering gaze regained focus, condensing on a spot behind the little koi, "Winter lake...... Actually, it's not very cold. ”
As soon as the words fell, the little koi suddenly heard the small sound of ice cracking. The feeling of weightlessness suddenly hit, and she fell into the water with Mu Peipei.
It turned out that this ice really couldn't last for a while, and she originally thought that she could hold on a little longer, and she could wait until Cuiliu found out that something was wrong and came to save people. The little koi fish flipped over with the force of falling into the water and stabilized its body.
Mu Peipei's words are true, the lake water in winter is indeed not as cold as imagined, and she is a koi fish incarnation, and she is still very flexible in the water at this time. She even had the strength to look around for Mu Peipei's shadow after stabilizing her figure. Just as soon as I saw that fiery red figure, the little koi was fished up.
Her wet coat was quickly removed, and a large, warm, dry cloak was wrapped around her. The little koi looked at the wet Geng Yu in front of him blankly, and saw Geng Yu pinching her nose, and then smiled at her, "It's like when we first met?" You came out of the lake wet at that time. ”
Without waiting for the little koi to speak, Geng Yu muttered "Don't catch a cold", while picking up the little koi and grabbing the carriage with light skills. The last time she left the lake, she saw Cuiliu dragging Mu Peipei to the shore.
Mu Peipei was also looking at Geng Yu and the little koi in the distance, and then laughed bitterly. It is true that the lake is not very cold in winter, but the wind is really cold. It was only when she was fished out of the lake that year, when even her father, who had always doted on her, was reckless with a black face, and Geng Yu calmly reminded her maid to wrap her in dry clothes, and gently handed her a warm hand stove.
Winter has always been very cold, and only Geng Yu is warm.
It's just that she should have thought that Geng Yu would only warm others now.
