Chapter 158: Returning Home in the Snow

The wind and snow are fast, and there is a leading eunuch in front of him to lead the way, and his heart is full of hope to return home. I don't care about the slippery feet and the ice and snow on my face. All the way, the wind and snow swords, still do not change the firm under the feet.

Outside the row house inside the Zhenshun Gate, Prince Rong stood under the eaves with a moon-white jade tree. In front of him, several eunuchs in the carriage room of Sima in the palace also stood there with their heads bowed. It looks like he's explaining things.

"Six masters, this time the snow is falling tightly, and the minions are not afraid of falling and falling, but if the nobles in the sedan chair are flashing, how many heads do you say the minions have enough for the six masters to cut off?"

"This king can't stop seeing this snow for a while, it's such a cold day, you don't have to wait any longer, find a warm place to warm up." The king will think of a way again. ”

"My grandfather, master, the minions don't have the opportunity to honor you all year round, and now it's a knife in the sky, and the minions will send the nobles back to the house properly."

"This king has received your filial piety, but the snow is big today, and this king is not at ease, let them go back, you go and bring this king's chasing wind over."

"The slave understands what the six masters mean, the slave will go to lead the horse, the six masters should go to the house and wait for the meeting, the snow is heavy at this time, and the master is standing outside and freezing carefully."

The man left, and a guard came over, clasped his hands into fists and said, "Prince Bingrong, the Shuntianfu master sent someone to ask, and he is now outside the door." ”

"You tell them, go now." The man was ordered to turn around, and Prince Rong stopped again: "Stop, are they coming on horseback or by car?" ”

"If you go back to the prince, you will come by car."

"Well, you go and tell them, wait a minute."

"Yes, lord."

The guards walked away, and Wanying happened to walk to Prince Rong's side in the wind and snow. Prince Rong said, "Let's go together later." Wanying was puzzled, only to see Prince Rong turn around and ask Qi Qiuli, and said, "Are you going back in the carriage of the Shifu today, or will it be sunny another day, and this king will let the car room in the palace send you again?" ”

Qi Qiuli pressed her face very low, just a moment of loss quickly passed over her face, but this imperceptible loss inadvertently fell into Wanying's eyes.

Qi Qiuli was respectful and humble and said with a little shyness: "No, the prince doesn't have to bother, the slave and maid go back with them is the same, don't bother the prince." ”

After Qi Qiuli finished speaking, she took out the warm hand stove in the burden and handed it to Wan Ying, carrying a small burden on her shoulder, and followed the guard's Wang Zhen in the direction of the door in the wind and snow.

Prince Rong flicked off the falling snow on Wanying's big hair, and gently brushed away the snow on his forehead. said in high spirits: "This girl is really careful, I can rest assured that she is serving you." ”

Wanying smiled without saying a word, still immersed in Fang Cai's own expression, capturing Qi Qiuli's lost expression.

"Can you ride a horse?"

Wan Ying was confused by Qi Qiuli's lost expression just now, and when Prince Rong asked her like this, Wan Ying was a little confused. Stupidly said, "No, what's wrong?" ”

"I'll ride you back."

"But I don't know how to ride a horse?"

Prince Rong smiled heartily and said, "No, you will." ”

After the four words, the hearty smiling face seemed to be mixed with a little ill-will. This made Wanying very shy.

As he spoke, the eunuch in the carriage room brought a sturdy horse. Prince Rong and Wanying walked outside the Zhenshun Gate together, and proudly said to Wanying: "It's called Chasing the Wind, the sweat and blood BMW of the Western Regions, this horse is extremely strong, but only listen to me." ”

"Wanying doesn't understand horses, but this horse seems to be quite obedient."

"Don't underestimate this horse, it runs like it flies, so I named it 'Chasing the Wind.'"

Before he could speak, he added, "Kick here, spread your legs apart, and stride your horse." ”

Wanying listened to his instructions and lifted her feet into the pedals, but for the first time on horseback, she was jerky and shy, no matter how hard she tried.

Maybe Wanying's hands and feet were nervous, and in a panic, she strangled the reins to chase the wind, and the horse's front hooves kicked forward slightly, and her body lifted slightly, and she took a few steps back and forth. Frightened, Wanying suddenly fell into Prince Rong's arms.

Wan Yinghua said with a disgraced face: "This horse has a strong temperament, I'm a little scared." ”

Prince Rong laughed loudly and said, "Don't be afraid, chasing the wind is greeting you?" ”

Wan Ying still didn't dare to wait for the stirrups with her feet anymore, and snuggled up in Prince Rong's arms with a frightened expression.

Prince Rong said happily: "The snow is so heavy today, the carriage is slippery and unsafe, I will carry you on the horse, don't be afraid and don't move." ”

As soon as Wan Ying heard this, she honestly put her frightened little heart back into her stomach. Let Prince Rong lift himself on the back of the horse, and sure enough, the horse did not move at all, standing straight in the wind and snow.

Carrying Wanying on the horse, Prince Rong jumped on the horse directly, sat behind Wanying, stepped on the stirrups with both feet, wrapped his hands around Wanying, and said in Wanying's ear: "Little goblin, don't move." ”

Wanying's face was suddenly like a fire, and Wanying even saw that the crystal clear snowflakes fell on her hot cheeks, like water droplets dripping on the charcoal fire, making a 'sizzling' sound, and then evaporated without a trace.

Wanying sat firmly on the back of the horse, her body was tightly wrapped in the crook of her arm by Prince Rong behind her, facing the wind and snow like tearing cotton wool, Wanying felt like she was flying in the spring breeze. Patches of goose feathers and heavy snow pressed on all the scenery that could be seen.

There were inexplicable smiles on the faces of the guards of the Zhenshun Gate behind him. Looking up, the palace walls are still towering like clouds, and the gray masonry has not changed at all when it came, and it is still such a cold and snowy day. The state of mind is two heavens of ice and fire, two months and six days. It's like you can't see the edge for a lifetime, it's that long.

Behind him is friendship, and in front of him is artistic conception. Wanying felt that at this moment, the suitability in her heart was no less than that of Meng Dongye's "spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day." "The willfulness of the willful.

Facing the wind and snow as warm as spring rain, galloping on the road in the downtown area. "Selling rice balls...... The soup balls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month are round and sweet, and the reunion is sticky and sticky! ”

"Sell Lantern Festival, stone grinding Lantern Festival, delicious and inexpensive, never stick to your teeth, and don't return sweet buns......"

"Selling rice balls, sweet and sticky is not expensive, it is a hundred times better than the Lantern Festival......"

"Selling Lantern Festival, round and sweet, smooth and easy to swallow, better than a thousand times the rice balls......"

Wanying can see the street in front of her house after passing through the downtown area, and she is relaxed and happy when she thinks about it, and hides in Prince Rong's arms and laughs.

"Little thing, what are you laughing at?"

"I laughed at the snow day on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there was no one on the road, and the people who sold rice balls and Lantern Festival actually started a fight."

Prince Rong also smiled on horseback, and said loudly: "The front is your house." ”

Like a horse flying, stepping on the wind and snow, turning into the street, far away, Wanying saw that in the curtain of the wind and snow, the family greeted her at the gate.

Seeing Prince Rong, Master Shi and his family, more than 100 people, kneeling in the snow in the dark, Wanying's heart was not only happy, but also sad, and when she got off the horse, she actually shed tears.

Prince Rong helped the master up, hugged his fists and said, "Uncle Shi doesn't need to be polite. ”

Master Shi greeted Prince Rong into the main gate, and the female family happily gathered around Wanying. Aunt Cui rarely squeezed to Wanying's right hand, pulled Wanying left and right, and praised her: "The third girl is really the most promising, our master has produced a noble ceremony, and there is even a prince and concubine." It is said that the second girl is blessed, in my opinion, the third girl is the blessing of the sky, and the blessing is unlimited. ”

Aunt Gao squeezed behind a few female dependents, and when she heard Aunt Cui's words, she was secretly saying that Wanyun was not as good as Wanying, so she pulled her face and squeezed to the front and said, "Aunt Cui, what do you mean by this?" Wanyun is the mother of the palace. ”

Aunt Cui pouted her cherry sip and said with a pinch: "Sister Gao, Wanyun is only a fourth-grade Guiyi now, my sister is confused, and a third-grade concubine can be called Niangniang." ”

Aunt Gao was still angry, and she was suddenly speechless by this sentence. Standing in the crowded crowd, he watched with a lonely face as everyone hugged Wanying and walked forward.

Sent away Aunt Gao, Aunt Cui touched Wanying's hand, three or four thick rings on her hand, hooked with Wanying's delicate jade hand. said very flatteringly: "Third girl, I heard that there are still two princes in the palace who have not yet accepted concubines, it seems that they are the ninth prince of Concubine Xuan and the tenth prince of Concubine Kang, right?" ”

As soon as Wan Ying heard this, she knew that 'the night owl enters the house, nothing does not come, nothing is done, nothing is done, and it is either a traitor or a thief' Wan Ping is still a little girl who is less than ten years old, and it is too hasty to ask about the marriage in such a hurry.

Before Wanying could speak, Aunt Li beside her opened her mouth and said mockingly: "Wanping is still a seven-year-old female doll, and her sister is too anxious. ”

When Aunt Li heard this, she also put on her face and said: "My sister is not as calm as my sister, but my sister is too calm, and she is stunned to delay her daughter as an old girl." ”

Aunt Li was originally joking, but she didn't expect Aunt Cui to dare to poke the most painful place in her heart in public, raised her eyes coldly, and sneered: "The female doll who has not been weaned also comes to join in the fun, and the sisters are gone." ”

This sentence is not light or heavy, and the people around her can hear it clearly, Aunt Cui is not ashamed, and immediately sneered at each other and said: "Although the scale is small, it can press thousands of catties, and the wheat straw stack cannot press the dead mice." It's not that my sister picks on the omissions in my sister's words, now there is the little master of Guiyi and the three girls in front of us Wanping, didn't you slap Sister Lin and Sister Gao in the face? ”

Aunt Li didn't expect Aunt Cui to be so stirring up and manipulating, she was so angry that her face turned purple, and she gritted her teeth and couldn't say a word after saying "you ......".

Wanying listened to the two aunts arguing with annoyance, and was glad that Prince Rong walked in front early, otherwise if he listened to such words, he might as well find a crack in the ground to get into. Looking for Aunt Lin's face everywhere in the entanglement, I saw my mother with tears in her eyes at the back of the crowd, looking at herself with a lonely face.

"Okay, there are no rules, just fight in front of the distinguished guests, as soon as Prince Rong comes back to our house for the first time, don't let your face fall into the palace, if it's like climbing a high branch, don't make trouble as soon as possible, save the time, and bring your daughters."

Aunt Li is the cousin of her wife, and she said this sentence clearly to Aunt Li and Aunt Cui.

Aunt Cui was still holding Wanying's hand triumphantly, but when she was reprimanded by her wife like this, her excitement immediately turned into anger, and she even made a lot of effort to hold Wanying's hand.

"Okay, okay, the third girl is back, and the other people's mothers are squeezed aside by a few of you, so let them all let go and let Aunt Lin take a few steps ahead." Mrs. spoke, and Aunt Ruichun left Aunt Cui behind, patted Aunt Lin's back gently, and gently motioned for Aunt Lin to step forward.

After more than two months, Wanying held her mother's hand again, it was still so cold, looking at her mother's forbearance, Wanying felt very uncomfortable, grabbed Aunt Lin's hand tightly, stepped on the snow against the wind, and never separated.

In the lively crowd, Aunt Lin quietly wiped away the tears in her eyes. She silently rejoiced in her heart: on a happy day, she should laugh, and finally keep the clouds open and see the moon.
