Chapter 44: First Snow
"What is your opinion, Embroidered Messenger?" Emperor Qingli's questioning brought the Nine Techniques back to the topic of discussion.
"Your Majesty thinks which side is more suitable?"
"I don't think it's good left or right. King Qi is not really courting, and Jiang Qi is not suitable for the Nine Emperors,"
"Since Your Majesty knows that it is not a good match, why should you be embarrassed? Why bother to provoke her, it will only add to the trouble. ”
"Embroidered messenger, I am not as carefree as the Hidden Country Master, I have the trade-offs of me, and I must solve Jiang Qi's threat. Otherwise, I will laugh at the world. ”
"Your Majesty, if the family teacher knows about His Majesty's worries, he will only blame His Majesty for asking for troubles and meddling in his own affairs. It's just a marriage, why bother getting involved. If Your Majesty is not worried about her, you might as well go and see her, and naturally know that she is not a threat to Your Majesty. ”
"I am the king of a country, how can I meet the people of the rivers and lakes. Embroidered messenger, you go and ask on my behalf to see what she thinks. ”
Jiushu lowered his eyes, and he also wanted to know what Jiang Qi would do. So, let's go for a walk.
The second day was the first snowfall, and the sky was gray and gloomy and windless.
Silence yelling for barbecue. Early in the morning, Jiang Yi was called to help, one big and one small were busy for a long time, the whole table of meat and vegetable ingredients, lit the brazier under the corridor and covered it with barbed wire, and the master and apprentice surrounded the brazier, grilling meat while warming up, and then accompanied by a few cups of wine, enjoying the scenery while eating, so unhappy.
The smell of flesh wafted out, making people salivate. The roast didn't eat quickly, and he used his chopsticks to pluck seven or eight minutes of tender meat, dipped it in condiments, and sent it to his mouth with a whirring breath.
Jiang Yi is slow and reasonable, his actions are leisurely and calm, and his appearance is extremely elegant and meticulous, which makes the ban more and more rude. caused her to snort and complain: "Apprentice, you don't learn well at a young age, you learn fake fairy pretending to be Sven, if you learn from him again, I won't recognize you as an apprentice." ”
Jiang Yi is small, but he has good energy, so he doesn't care about her threat, and still eats calmly and politely. This is a manifestation of cultivation and upbringing.
Ahri twittered around them, wriggling her ass and begging for meat. It is afraid of the heat, and its four paws carefully probe and probe, not daring to pounce and rob. Taking advantage of the ban not paying attention, the sharp mouth stepped forward to steal a piece of meat, and was knocked on the nose by the ban with a chopstick, and hid aside to eat the meat with a few clicks.
"Sister, don't just drink, come and eat meat, I have left a place for you. Come on, come on. She called out to the forbidden smile affectionately.
Ahri was jealous and screamed, how could anyone bully cats like this. Aggrievedly sniffed and begged Jiang Yi for comfort.
Jiang Yi sandwiched the meat, blew it cold, and fed it, it was happily grinding and rubbing like a naughty child.
"Eat yours, smoky one. I'm waiting for my master to call. "Laughing is not mixed with them.
"Don't laugh, you can eat with them." Jiang Qi wore a hooded cloak and was about to go out. She likes to go out for a walk in gloomy weather.
"Master, do you want to come and eat?" The silence salivated and begged for attention.
Jiang Qi glanced at her: "Don't eat it." ”
"Master, it's snowing, where are you going?" She asked again.
"Get out for a walk." The Iraqi people faded away.
Ban Yan looked at her back, and sighed to himself: "King Fuling has not come for several days, and no one has to talk to the master to relieve his boredom." Seeing Jiang Yi looking at him with black eyes, he snorted coldly: "What does the apprentice think he is doing as a teacher, eat quickly." ”
"Auntie likes King Fuling?"
"Who knows!" Ban Yan blurted out angrily, paused, turned his head to stare at him, and taught him a lesson, "You are young, don't think nonsense, you have to practice hard, you can't lose my face Master, I don't know ......"
Jiang Yi's eyes squinted, looking at her like an idiot, let her ramble and say no more.
This year, there is no distinction between autumn and winter, and the season is far from the season of snow, but the season is a month earlier, and the snow naturally comes a month earlier.
Outside Muyi Villa, a scene of ash and withering of ten thousand trees, the branches of light stand unyieldingly in the wind, the blend of gray and white, silent and picturesque.
The snow is white, the grains are crystal clear, and the rustling sound of falling snow is like salt.
The king of Fuling holds an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, standing in this ink and snow painting. He is dressed in brocade and elegant clothes, and he is as outstanding as an immortal, and he has a bit of the elegance of the Nine Techniques in his wrong eyes. He's been waiting here for a long time.
I haven't seen each other for many days, although the two have not been in touch since the last unhappy breakup. But seeing him, Jiang Qi still softened his eyebrows, and his red lips and snow skin were warm.
Encouraged by this, the king of Fuling ran a few steps forward to shield her from the falling snow, while he himself was exposed to the snow.
He has a low brow and a good attitude.
"I'm just wondering when you'll come out."
"What if I really don't come out?"
"Then I'll come back tomorrow. But today is the first snow, and I thought to myself that you will definitely come out. Sure enough, there is a heart. Come, be careful of falling snow and cold. Talking sweetly, it seemed that there had never been any unhappiness between the two, and he tilted his umbrella towards her, which was extremely intimate.
"Since you're here, why don't you come in and look for me?" She hadn't seen the hurricane avalanche, and she didn't care about this little snow, but she didn't avoid the kindness of King Fuling, and he held an umbrella for herself.
"I did something wrong last time and made you angry, and I should punish myself."
"Then how are you going to plead guilty?"
"Take you somewhere."
"Where?"
"You'll know when you go."
The thatched pavilion not far from the Seser River was cleaned and furnished in a warm and comfortable manner, and a few children played around the fire in front of the pavilion.
A tent was set up next to it, the attendants were busy, and the smell of all kinds of fine work came to the nose.
King Fuling pulled Jiang Qi and walked up the stairs.
"Remember here? Last time we were here to take shelter from the rain. He wanted to commemorate that rainy autumn day.
Of course she remembers, she also remembers seeing three children here, which reminded her of Xiao Zhaoxian, Xiao Zhaoyi and herself when she was young.
"Sister, sugar gourd, here you go!" The innocent girl ran into the pavilion, holding a sugar gourd, and looked at Jiang Qi expectantly.
Jiang Qi frowned, but did not answer, and his whole body exuded cold avoidance.
The girl timidly withdrew her hand, at a loss for what to do.
"Qiao'er, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll protect you." It was the thin boy in the neat cloth clothes who spoke that time, he seemed to be full of gentlemanliness at a young age, and his actions were full of care, and he glared at Jiang Qi, who did not accept the girl's kindness, "You can't bully Qiao'er." ”
"Qiao'er, Xiaozhi, what are you doing!" A big, rugged voice with a hint of innocence came.
The girl heard the voice, and a snort dodged behind the thin boy.
"Stop! Dead fatty, don't come forward. ”
The fat boy in tattered clothes was confused, snorted his nose, and asked, "Qiao'er, what are you hiding behind Xiaozhi." Oh, I see! He suddenly realized, "You're going to hide from me, aren't you?" Come on, come on, I'll come to you. ”
The fat boy was clumsy and silly like a bear.
", dead fatty. Xiao Zhi, let's run! The girl dragged the thin boy away and left the stunned fat boy again.
"Qiao'er, why are you running so fast, wait for me."
"Is it cold?" King Fuling stuffed the stove into Jiang Qi's hand, and seeing her silent and cold face, he couldn't help but be curious. "You don't like them? Last time, you stopped to look at them. ”
"I don't like it."
"Last time I saw you staring at them, I thought you liked it."
"I had a playmate when I was young......"
"Hmm." He listened attentively, but she was speechless. "And then?"
"Later it turned out to be a villain." A sneer tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he said quietly, "Children are more evil than snakes and scorpions. ”
"So you're cold as ice to people and never make friends? He must have hurt you deeply. You hate him to the bone. ”
She did not deny it: "I don't hate him for hurting me, I'm the one who hates him for hurting my loved ones." ”
"Loved ones naturally want to be defended, but if someone is not a loved one who hurt you, but just someone around you, will you never spare it?"
"Yes, not lightly."
"You're very short-sighted."
The attendants came out of the tent next to them, serving a plate of fine soup.
King Fuling took the initiative to arrange a cup for her and poured warm wine: "Drink a glass of wine and warm up." ”
In Muyi Villa, Jiushu came in the snow and wanted to invite Jiang Qi to enjoy the snow together, but only Ahri warmly welcomed him in the huge villa. He looked around slowly, but there was no trace of Jiang Qi.
"Where did she go?"
"The master went to a private meeting with the man, and he didn't want to see you." The silence is open-mouthed, deliberately angry with him. "On weekdays, I drove you away, but you didn't leave. The master is here in Ryan, it's time for you to show up, you don't show up, now it's okay, the master was snatched away by the king of Fuling, what are you still doing! ”
"Oh? Yes. His tone was calm, and he did not see any gloom, but he was more fearful than angry. It's a cold winter, and he is still wearing a thin plain white auspicious gold embroidered robe, and a white gauze wide-brimmed hat is windless and automatic, and he can see that people are swishing straight and cold.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Forbidden to speak timidly, he muttered in a low voice, "What do you see, I didn't let the master go to a private meeting." ”
"She's the master, isn't it your duty to follow her and take care of her?"
"Oh, the master doesn't like people to follow. Besides, I'm going to have a barbecue. While speaking, he turned the meat on the barbed wire with chopsticks, sprinkled it with seasonings, and was about to open his mouth to eat, when he saw the expression of Jiushu, he decisively stretched out his hand to block the meat, for fear of being robbed.
"This is what I baked, you have to eat it and bake it yourself."
Jiushu still stared at her barbecue with unknown meaning, the wine was deep, thousands of pear blossoms were in full bloom, and even the heavens and the earth were fragrant.
"Is it delicious?"
"Good...... Delicious...... How...... What's wrong? ”
Fake immortal, it's really terrible for you to hook up with people. Bah, why did she stutter.
"It's delicious, then eat it all." He spoke softly, like a love story.
"Good...... All right. ”
Really, shake anything, eat it, whoever is afraid of whom.
Silence turned back to hold the chopsticks, and was about to get off the chopsticks. Hey, I think something is wrong. It seems that there is no heat.
"The fire is out, Master, do you really have to eat it all?" Jiang Yi reminded her pitifully.
The fire is out? Extinguished? How did the fire go out?
"Ahh Nine techniques, you actually put out the fire, you, you! She woke up like a dream, and she was crazy, and she knew that this fake fairy would fix her.
"Isn't it delicious, eat it all." Jiushu's smile continued unabated, and she was indifferent, and her chin motioned for her to eat all the raw meat on the table.
"You, you bully! I'm not eating! ”
"Don't waste it, eat." He didn't raise his eyebrows, he didn't make a move, and the coercion that weighed as much as a thousand catties had fixed the ban in place, and he couldn't escape.
Ban Yan knew that the fake immortal was really angry, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a move. My master, come and save me, the fake fairy is terrible. She wailed in her heart.
Twitter! Ahri laughed so hard that his eyes were slitted, and he smugly jumped on the shoulders of Jiushu. Finally someone can breathe for it.
"Master, you use it slowly." Jiang Yi put down his chopsticks and left, with no intention of saving him at all.
"Hey, you unfilial apprentice, where are you going! Don't go. "I can't move, I can't move, I am crying madly in my heart, master, come and save me.
