Since the farewell of Daqing Temple, Jiang Cailing has not seen Gu Jiming, and she doesn't know what the explanation he said that day was.

The two brothers, He Mingshan and He Minghai, have eased up because of He Zongyao's affairs, and in previous years, Chinese New Year's Eve had their own lives, but this year they got together, and He Mansion also seemed a little lively.

The vast expanse of snow, it seems that everything in the world is clean, as innocent as a newborn baby, at that moment, Jiang Cailing really believes that there can be no disease, no jealousy, no war smoke, and no displacement in this world.

"Fifth sister, what do you want?" He Zongyao saw Jiang Cailing standing at the tuyere, wearing an apricot yellow dress that looked thin, and he didn't put on a cloak, so he stepped forward and asked with concern.

Jiang Cailing retracted her thoughts and said to He Zongyao with a smile, "I heard my father say that the third brother's business has been booming recently, and he also praised the third brother for his extreme business talent, so I want to congratulate the third brother here." ”

"Fifth sister, this is a joke for me, but it's just that the weather is cold this year, and the cotton industry is booming. I used to learn some business scriptures from the master, but I only learned some fur, and after the year, I will continue to study with the master. He Zongyao paused, and his eyes became a little more sad, "It's a pity that my two sisters are both gone this year, and they all blame me for being a bastard before, and I didn't care about them......"

He Xiaoxiao, who brought Jiang Cailing a cloak, happened to hear this, and her face was also a little moved, and she looked at her brother from a distance. He Zongyao and the gambler who played the flute every night have been judged as two people, and their faces have changed from yellow and thin to round and ruddy, and they seem to have a lot of energy, and there is less anger in their eyes and more of the temperament of a Confucian businessman.

In her dream, the three were beaten to death by the people in the gambling hall, but after waking up from the dream, her brother not only turned back, but also became the pride of her parents, which is why she left with confidence.

The sky is dark, and the red lanterns are lit up, illuminating the quiet and quaint He Mansion, reflecting the plum blossoms and white snow, which is beautiful, and makes people indulge in this beautiful scenery.

In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.

Outside He's house, the sound of firecrackers lighting and blasting is endless, and fireworks are blooming in the sky from time to time. He Mingshan and other men sat in the side hall and talked in the open sky, Meng Yun and Liu personally went to the kitchen to make dumplings, and Jiang Cailing helped beside them.

Liu skillfully wrapped the dumplings, looking at the dumplings wrapped by Jiang Cailing, he couldn't help but think of his daughter, his eyes were red for a while, in order to hide his emotions, Liu secretly wiped his tears, and asked with a smile, "Ling'er is married this year, and it should be ready for marriage after the year, right?" Is the date of marriage set? ”

Meng Yun rolled his face and replied with a smile, "How can it be so fast, I heard that a lot of things have happened in the Guan Imperial Court in recent years, and the Holy Lord will inevitably not be able to deal with it, so Gu Xiang has to take charge of the overall situation and be very busy." ”

Jiang Cailing listened to it beside her, she felt very uncomfortable, she felt that she was too entangled, she was the one who didn't want to marry Gu Jiming at the beginning, and now she is still the one waiting for Gu Jiming to explain to her.

In the final analysis, there is still a touch of nostalgia for Gu Jiming in her heart, especially on that day, Gu Jiming's expression when she said, "We have come to Japan for a long time, and there is still a lot of time to answer", no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the person who stabbed her in the heart at the beginning.

Where will people's hearts be as sharp as cutting pork, but like lotus roots, determined to cut off, there will still be silk.

"Ling'er, what do you want?"

Meng Yun's voice made Jiang Cailing regain her senses, and her face turned red, "What did you say just now, mother?" ”

Meng Yun and Liu looked at each other and smiled, Meng Yun raised his hand and scratched Jiang Cailing's delicate little nose with his flour-stained hand, "Our Ling'er has grown up!" ”

The sound of firecrackers came from time to time, and in the blink of an eye, the white and tender dumplings were already out of the pot and placed on the plate, looking crystal clear.

Jiang Cailing looked at her appetite, and when she didn't pay attention to others in the kitchen, like a child, she quickly picked up a white and fat dumpling with her chopsticks, and stuffed it into her mouth with a "woo".

The dumplings made by Meng Yun and Liu were thin and filling, the soup in the meat filling overflowed the mouth, and the boiling heat rushed down the open dough to the mouth, so hot that Jiang Cailing couldn't help but stick out her tongue and snort like a puppy.

A laugh came from the window, Jiang Cailing's ears were very sensitive, she caught this faint laughter, and strode out of the kitchen, and sure enough, she saw Jiu Ge with a snicker, and Gu Jiming who was standing behind him with a smile on his lips, dressed in a gray coat, his already tall figure was a little more immortal, standing under the plum tree, erasing the coldness of Su Ri.

Seeing Gu Jiming, Jiang Cailing thought of her embarrassment after being hit by the spring breeze for ten miles last time, and her white jade-like face turned red.

"What's going on?" Jiang Cailing was burned on her tongue by dumplings just now, and the words "why are you here" were extremely interesting to hear.

Jiu Ge couldn't help laughing, but he was afraid that the other people in the room would hear it, so he could only whisper bitterly, his baby face was the color of pig's liver, and he replied to Jiang Cailing, "He mushroom is cool, and his tongue is burned by dumplings!" ”

"Nine songs!" With a soft drink, Gu Jiming walked in front of Jiang Cailing on the snow, and saw that she was only wearing a pair of shirts, took off the big coat on her body and draped it on Jiang Cailing's body, feeling the faint fragrance and warmth left on the big cloud, Jiang Cailing's face turned a little redder.

Jiu Ge retreated with interest, and the two stood in the snow through the warm candlelight from the window, the oblique shadow falling to the ground, the man wearing a royal blue brocade robe, with narrow eyebrows and eyes, and a tall posture; The woman's eyes were bright and her teeth were bright, and her wide coat wrapped up all of them, revealing only a round head.

Not far away, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, and the quiet fragrance fills the world.

The two of them didn't speak for a long time, and there was silence in the air, until Gu Jiming's deep voice full of magnetism came from overhead, "In the past few days, the court has made people panic because of the matter of the Chu State arranging troops on the border, and the saint is still young, and many things have fallen on me." ”

Gu Jiming explained the reason why he didn't show up these days, like a husband who came home late at night to patiently explain to his wife who was angry and didn't open the door.

Gu Jiming already knew her identity, and Jiang Cailing had no reason to pretend to be polite, and bent her lips slightly mockingly, "Since Gu Xiang is busy with official duties, he should share his worries about the country, how can he sneak into the people's homes on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Tang Cheng Cheng does this, isn't it against the way of the sages in your heart?" ”

"I'm going to Luan County tomorrow, things came suddenly, I want to see you."

The last three words exploded in Jiang Cailing's ears, and ripples rippled in the heart lake.

The hand was suddenly grasped, and when Jiang Cailing struggled to retract it, a soft jade pendant was placed in her palm.

Jiang Cailing looked at it and felt very familiar, and then the lights shone brightly, and carefully looked at the jade pendant in his hand, only to see that the word "昤" was carefully carved on it.

昤, representing daylight.

When Jiang Cailing saw the words, her eyes were suddenly stunned, as if she had been hit by a violent storm, and her face changed.

I still remember that on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, she did not allow Gu Jiming to go home for the New Year because of the busy government affairs of the imperial court, and the two and Guo Ang were above the main hall, she and Guo Ang sat on the main seat, Gu Jiming sat in the seat below and looked at the folds seriously, and when she encountered a tricky one, she would hand it over to Jiang Cailing.

After Jiang Cailing sent a red envelope to the eunuch Gong'e, she used the New Year's rest as an excuse to let everyone go back to rest, Guo Ang was still a child, and he fell asleep after a while, Jiang Cailing handed over the little prince to the nurse and took him back to the palace to rest.

There was no moon in the sky, but the hall was brightly lit.

Jiang Cailing held her chin greedily and did not shy away from admiring Gu Jiming's beautiful side face, there was no flaw on her white jade-like face, and her side face was like a knife, one more look sharp, and one less point looked weak, and this was just right.

Under the reflection of the candle flame, the eyebrows and eyes were softened, a little less cold, and a little more fireworks.

Hot wine was roasted on the charcoal fire, and after Jiang Cailing drank a few glasses, her eyes became even hotter, "Ah Ye, you are so good-looking." ”

Gu Jiming didn't raise his head when he heard this, and continued to write on the white paper about the political affairs to be dealt with.

Accustomed to this cold look, Jiang Cailing was not discouraged, staggered down from the high position, sat opposite Gu Jiming, and looked at each other with a pair of beautiful eyes, "Ah Ye, do you know which word I like the most?" ”

"Queen Mother, you're drunk, rest early." Saying that, Gu Jiming took off his robe and got up.

Jiang Cailing wanted to hold Gu Jiming, but Gu Jiming's long legs were too fast, and he walked to the door of the main hall in a blink of an eye, just when Gu Jiming was about to push the door and leave, Jiang Cailing's voice suddenly came from behind him, "You talk to me, today is Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

The voice is full of helplessness and despair, like a lost child who can't find a home.

Somehow touched Gu Jiming's iron-hearted heart, walked back to his original seat, and moved a soft stool, "The ground is cold, I'm afraid the Queen Mother will be sober tomorrow and blame the minister." ”

Jiang Cailing only cared about lowering her head, making people unable to see her expression, Gu Jiming frowned, grabbed Jiang Cailing's shoulders and dragged her to the soft stool.

As a result, I saw the sly smile on the corner of Jiang Cailing's lips, as if she had stolen a fishy cat.

Gu Jiming knew that Jiang Cailing was deliberately pretending to be pitiful, and he was about to leave with his sleeves, but this time Jiang Cailing was prepared, grabbed Gu Jiming's sleeve, I don't know if it was because of drunkenness, he was very strong, "I didn't lie to you just now, there were the first queens or others to fight to relieve boredom, but now looking at it, it is full of floods, enemy troops, and rebellions, which are more difficult to deal with than a hundred queens!" ”

Gu Jiming sighed and sat down, Jiang Cailing's smile deepened, "Ah Ye, do you know which word I like the most?" ”

"Huh?" Gu Jiming let out a question in his throat, as if he didn't understand how Jiang Cailing had turned the topic here.

Jiang Cailing looked drunk, put her head on Gu Jiming's hand, and said stupidly, "It's a word!" The day in the middle of tomorrow, the order in Lingzhong, the spring day is about to be half, and the shadow of the court is ......"
