Chapter 220: Zhen Zhen

Towards the end of the first lunar month, there was a heavy snowfall in Rinzai. The fluttering snowflakes turned the whole of Rinzai into a world covered in snow. The snow-white streets and houses are dotted with red lanterns that have not yet been removed from the doors of each house, which is very beautiful.

On the day when the snow was clear, Gao Su took Ran Ying to Jimei Mountain behind the palace to enjoy the snow.

This Jimei Mountain is not high or big, it is said to be a mountain, more like a mound. The mountains are full of plum trees planted all over the mountain, the plum has not withered at this time, the spring plum has been beaten, the red, yellow and white colors are opened, and there is snow pressing the branches, the sun shines after the snow, the ice muscle jade bone, the dark fragrance floats, just like a fairyland.

Gao Su took Ran Ying to shuttle slowly through the plum forest, and said as he walked: "These plum blossoms were planted by me, and they have bloomed very well in the past two years." Ah Ying likes it? ”

Ran Ying was originally a little careless, and after listening to his question, she raised her eyes to look at him. Gao Su is wearing a plain white cross-collared wide-sleeved robe today, with a gold belt tied around his waist, a white jade forbidden step tied under his waist, and a white fox armpit wrapped around him.

His eyebrows are delicate and picturesque, his body is thin, but he has a fairy aura that wants to ride the wind. If the jade boy walks in this grand scene of snow and red plums, this scene is naturally beautiful.

But Ran Ying smiled faintly and did not speak.

No matter how good the plum blossoms are, no one appreciates them.

I heard that the red plums in Puyuan are also gorgeous and enchanting after the snow, but I don't know how they bloom this year. It's just that now Yuwentai is in an embarrassing situation, is everything in Puyuan the same as before?

Gao Su took her to a small hexagonal pavilion at the top of a hill, where a plaque hung with the words "Shoumei" written on it. There were servants who hung bamboo curtains, lit charcoal basins, smoked incense burners, and warmed fine wine. At this time, the aroma lingers, warm and pleasant.

Gao Su Shi Ran sat down on the stool on the stone table, poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip, feeling that his body was getting warmer and more comfortable. He looked at Ran Ying, who was standing outside the pavilion, and said, "Ah Ying, since you are here with this king to enjoy the plum blossoms, why should you worry about others in your heart?" Isn't it a disappointment to this beautiful day? ”

Ran Ying stood in front of the pavilion and looked at him dissatisfied: "Can't you think about it?" ”

Gao Su was a little helpless and said, "Yingying, don't be too honest with me, okay?" The things that should be hidden still have to be hidden. ”

Ran Ying said willfully: "I'm so stupid that I can't hide it." ”

Gao Su snorted disdainfully: "What's the point of thinking about it all the time?" The so-called days are short and the nights are long, why not travel with candles. Life is short, and it is the right thing to have fun in time. As he spoke, he took another sip of the wine in his hand.

Ran Ying listened, stretched out her hand to pick off a branch of red plum on the plum tree beside her, walked into the pavilion, gently inserted the flower branch into the white porcelain wine cup with a slender neck, looked at Gao Su and said provocatively: "Who wants to leave behind, what you think is from afar." ”

She just didn't hide it, she thought about Yuwentai.

Gao Su was not anxious or annoyed, but hooked his lips and smiled: "What is a woman...... Since he was so worried about him, why did he leave with this king without resistance in the White Horse Temple? ”

Ran Ying didn't have to scold him at this time. She lowered her bright eyes and said with some abruptness: "It is certainly one thing to hate him in my heart." It is also one thing to bring A-Ying back to Jinyang for burial. And also...... In that situation, Yu Jin didn't know if he had gone far, and he didn't know when the rescue soldiers would arrive. If I don't go with you, how can I keep him out......"

Gao Su only felt that he was being calculated by her again, so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, he raised his wine glass and drank it all, and looked at her hatefully: "This king ate you sooner or later!" ”

"You'd better appease Zhen first." The corners of Ran Ying's mouth twitched, laughing at him, and then she suddenly realized that Gao Su didn't bring out the little girl who was chattering. Since returning to Linji, the little girl has been almost inseparable from him.

At first, she thought that Zhen Zhen was Gao Su's child. Although he does not have a wife or concubine, it is normal for a person of his status to have a child with a maid who is ridiculous overnight when he is young.

But later Ran Ying found out that Zhen Zhen had been calling Gao Su by her name, and had been clamoring to be Gao Su's bride, and she was very jealous. Gao Su is also very fond of her, but he didn't give her the moon in the sky.

"Why didn't Zhen come out today?" She asked.

"It's rare to see such heavy snow after the beginning of spring, and Mr. Lu in the school temporarily arrested her to write Yongxue's poems. I'm probably scratching my ears and cheeks right now, and I'm so anxious that I'm going to cry. When it comes to Zhen Zhen, Gao Su seems to be in a different mood, like a simple young man, pursing his lips and smiling, with infinite love in his eyes.

Ran Ying finally couldn't help but ask, "Who is Zhen Zhen?" I saw that she was not related to you, why did you raise her in the house? ”

Gao Su listened to this question, and the innocence in his eyes disappeared. He silently poured a glass of wine, drank it all, and said, "Zhen Zhen is the only daughter of my deceased friend. ”

"Dead friends?" Ran Ying thought, how can a person like him have friends?

Gao Su glanced at her disdainfully: "Are you thinking, how can a person like me have friends?" ”

Ran Ying choked, but she didn't expect to be seen through by him, and pursed her lips silently.

Gao Su looked at the plum trees all over the mountains outside the pavilion, and his voice was a little hoarse: "The couple both passed away three years ago, and this mountain of plum blossoms was planted to commemorate them." ”

That was his best friend, his most respected friend. They were all full of ambition and fierce to shed their blood for these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. In the dreams of the boys, the fire was blazing and the blood was hot. The ideal is within reach, and the country is far away.

But later he learned that fire is tyrannical and blood is cold.

It's just that when he knew, there was only a handful of fresh loess left in front of him. And his best friend, whose bones are incomplete, lies in the cold and dark underground.

Soon after, my best friend's beloved wife also followed in her husband's footsteps and left, leaving behind a little girl under the age of three.

"I tried my best to dispel public opinion, and despite everyone's opposition, I brought Zhen Zhen back to the Le'an Mansion to raise her personally. Otherwise, she is an orphan girl, in a huge family, who will support her? He got up and walked to the edge of the pavilion, and looked up at the vast white snow in the distance, as if he were lamenting and sighing.

The cold door has the warmth of the cold door, and the high gate has the cruelty of the high door. Gaomen is a bottomless abyss, and everyone in it lives not themselves.

Ran Ying walked behind him, heard this, and asked, "It is also a righteous act for you to raise orphans for your best friend, why would anyone object?" ”

Gao Su smiled coldly and said, "Because my relationship with them is too close...... There was a rumor that Vera was actually my child. ”

Ran Ying was stunned. How could there be such vicious rumors?

Gao Su pouted and smiled, and half turned his head to look at Ran Ying: "I have killed all the people who said this." ”

Ran Ying was startled by his eyes and couldn't help but take a step back. Thinking about it again, if it was Gao Su, he would indeed have done such a thing.

Gao Su saw that she was shocked by herself, and smiled again: "I grew up in Fenzhou with them, and the three of us. That girl, I used to love it. But it was the two of them who loved each other. And I fulfilled them. They also came to Rinzai with me after they got married. When Vera was born, I was the second person to see her besides her father. It was the first time I had ever seen a newborn baby, so small, so soft, so ugly...... I gave her the name. I watched her grow up day by day, and watched her grow up day by day, delicate and lovely...... Their family is the brightest light in my life, who knows that neither of them died well......"

He looked at Ran Ying, and there was a sad and desolate light in his eyes: "Zhen Zhen, she is my daughter, my love, my only friend in this world, the most trusted person. ”
