Tonight's Liangzhou, the night is intoxicating, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
The reason why Liangzhou is called Liangzhou is because of the cold, although it is a summer resort in summer, it is really cold in winter.
Shang Yunrou wrapped the cotton clothes on her body very tightly, curled up into a small ball, leaned against the brazier to keep warm, the fluffy fur covered her body, only revealing a face that was red by charcoal fire, and the gentle appearance of the veins made people feel pity after just one glance.
"Yun Rou, is it still cold? I brought you a fur coat, try it? Senior Brother Shang Qian stood outside the door, dressed in a dark blue robe, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes fell deeply on her.
Shang Yunrou didn't expect him to come over so late, and she was stunned all of a sudden, staring blankly at the senior brother who appeared outside the door, their state was very much like looking at each other affectionately.
The man's robe was hunting in the cold wind, and the cold wind blew his long inky hair, mixed with a few crystalline snowflakes, and he looked at her with such gentle eyes, and the thick fur he held in his hand was also stained with a few snowflakes, and the wind blew and disappeared.
Shang Yunrou came back to her senses, smiled, slowly stood up from the brazier and walked in front of him, and said softly: "The winter in Liangzhou is indeed colder. โ
She stretched out her slender fingers and gently brushed away the snowflakes on her fur, and said with a light smile: "I like this fur fur very much, but if it is given to my sister-in-law, she will be very happy, what woman in the world does not want her husband to give her a gift." โ
Shang Qian's fingers paused, and then he laughed gently, and his voice was flat: "Senior sister, I think about it too much, I'm just afraid that you are too cold, in this wilderness, if you are sick, it is a very troublesome thing." โ
"Senior brother, let's take it back, I'm not cold." Shang Yunrou smiled faintly, "Even if it's frozen, the master will still ask the doctor to diagnose the disease, senior brother, have you forgotten?" โ
Shang Qian's smile was a little stiff, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Although Master is proficient in medical skills, he doesn't have enough herbs, and it takes more than ten miles to buy herbs, so you're welcome, junior sister." โ
"I appreciate my brother's kindness, but it's too precious, so let's take it back." Shang Yunrou's eyebrows were a little cold, "Senior brother, please go back." โ
How could she not know that her senior brother's life has always been cold, that is, the coarse tea and light rice of ordinary people, where can she get this expensive and good fur fur? He must have sold a lot of calligraphy and paintings in exchange.
How much can a pair of calligraphy and paintings sell for?
His expression was very quiet, but this gesture made Shang Yunrou's heart twitch slightly.
"Senior brother." She spoke softly.
He smiled slightly: "I'm here." โ
"Don't come to me."
"You don't mind." Senior Brother Shang Qian's voice was a little hoarse, "I just treat you as a sister, and I can't bear to see you cold." โ
Shang Yunrou pursed her lips, people who say this kind of thing are looking for a suitable identity to appear, but they don't purely regard the other party as a relative or friend in their hearts.
She lowered her eyes, suddenly not knowing what to say.
"Yun Rou." He called her name hoarsely, "You don't have to be burdened, I'm just ......"
Before he finished speaking, Shang Yunrou gently closed the door and locked him out of the door in such a rude manner.
The young man's heart outside the door trembled suddenly, he was a little lost, then smiled, did not say anything, but silently put the fur fur outside the door, and then quietly left.
Through the gap between the doors, Shang Yunrou watched his back melt into the night, with lonely snow, and there was indescribable loneliness.
In fact, a person like Senior Brother deserves such beautiful words, with two sleeves and elegant style.
It's a pity that whether it is the king who overlooks all living beings, the famous iron horse general, or the scholar who pours ink and makes tea, as long as he is stained with love words, he will become the same.
Shang Yunrou looked at his back, and the sourness in her heart became more and more intense.
For some people, missing is missing.
Since the senior brother got married, he no longer lives in the school, but has built another residence not far away.
His wife, Jiang, is the same age as him, and her appearance and talent are not outstanding, but she is diligent and thrifty, and has a kind heart.
At this time, she was making a dress in front of an oil lamp in the house, a man's garment, with dense stitches, and the styles and patterns were the most popular at the moment, not inferior to the clothes sold in the shop.
"Official, you're back." Jiang walked up to him and reached out to pat the snowflakes on his clothes for him.
"Hungry or not? There's some leftovers, I'm going to give you some hot food? โ
Shang Qian looked at her around him, remembered Shang Yunrou's delicate little face, and couldn't help laughing.
Seeing this, Jiang couldn't help but smile and asked, "Official, what are you thinking?" โ
In the past, he would be like this, and he had naughty and mischievous students in his classroom, and those children were really angry and cute.
"Nothing." Shang Qian's expression was leisurely, and he exhaled deeply, "By the way, do you have any money left at home, it's about to be the New Year, I have to send some New Year's goods to my master, my sister came from the imperial city, it's not easy for a girl to be alone, and I have to take care of it a little." โ
Jiang Shi listened to his tone, and her heart added a little bitterness, but she still smiled on her face, her husband respected the master and loved the younger sister, which was a very good quality, even if there was not much money left, she couldn't let her husband lose face in front of the master and sister.
What's more, I heard that the junior sister came from the imperial city, and she is still the daughter of the big official's family, and she has been clothed and fed since she was a child, so the imperial city must be a prosperous place, and unlike their remote and small place, the junior sister has just arrived, how can she endure such hardship.
The children in the school said that the new female gentleman was beautiful, and he was simply a fairy from the sky. The neighborhood also said that she was not only good-looking, but also very capable of teaching children, and Niu Erwa, who was from the cow butcher's house next door, had never liked to read and write, and now she also began to read, saying that only in this way would the female gentleman like it.
It was pitiful enough that she was forced by her family to marry a rough general, and a little girl who came all the way to join her master must have been desperate and had to do so.
Thinking like this, Jiang felt pity in his heart.
Shang Qian took out a few pieces of broken silver from his purse and handed them to her, "You can watch and prepare." โ
"Official, where did you get the money?" Jiang Shi wondered.
"Don't ask about that, it's clean anyway." Shang Qian smiled gently.
His smile made Jiang Shi feel the urge to cry, and she couldn't help but hug his waist: "Official, are you selling paintings again?" No wonder you come home so late these days, it's freezing cold, and your fingers must be frozen all day long when you paint. โ
As she spoke, she took Shang Qian's hand, and sure enough, her hands were frostbitten, and she looked at the redness and swelling on his hands, feeling very distressed.
"Does it hurt? Shall I boil some hot water to warm you up? โ
"It's fine." Shang Qian withdrew his hand from her hand, "It's already freezing, no matter how warm it is, that's it." โ
"Then I'll give you a hot meal." Jiang strode out, lit a fire in the stove with neat movements, and looked at the heat rising from the side of the pot, Jiang fell into deep thought.
In fact, there is not much money left at home, rice and noodles have bottomed out, if you don't buy it, you have to cut a few catties of meat during the New Year, buy two jars of wine, weigh some pastries and preserves, new clothes are about to be made, but cotton is not enough, you have to buy some more, she also wants to pull some cloth to make a dress for herself, Jiang thinks about it or forget it, and she doesn't do it herself.
Then I have to give a gift to the master, the junior sister came from a big place, she has seen the world, and she can't give it too shabby......
Jiang Shi pulled his fingers, this money was not enough at all, and he had to find another way.
......
The next day, she went to the cotton shop in the town to buy cotton with the money, and at this moment, a plump lady came over, pulled her and smiled: "What a coincidence, I met you here." โ
Jiang recognized her, she was the eldest lady of the landlord here, and she should have come to the shop in the town to tear cloth to make clothes.
Before Jiang could speak, she said: "I went to your house that day to see, the dress you made is so beautiful, better than the best tailor in the town, it's better than this, you sell it to me, anyway, you are skillful, you can also buy fabric cotton and make another one." โ
Madame smiled seductively, but Jiang Shi was not moved at all, and shook his head, "No, I made that dress for my husband, not for sale." โ
When I thought of him wearing that dress, he must be graceful, Yushu is in the wind, and the landlord is not tall, and he can't be connected to the ground when he wears it, it must not look good, not as good as what her family Shangqian wears.
"It's really not for sale?"
Jiang Shi did not waver for a moment, "I said that I would not sell it." โ
The landlord's wife, who was smiling, slowly put away the smile on her face, paused for a moment, and asked, "The one in your family recently bought you a fur fur?" โ
Jiang Shi heard that something was wrong, and a puzzled look suddenly appeared on her face.
Fur fur, where can a small family like them afford it?
The landlord's wife saw the clue and glanced at her meaningfully, "Big sister, I advise you not to be too stupid, you are good to him with your heart and lungs, and he doesn't know who he is thinking about in his heart." โ
Hearing this, Jiang's heart suddenly panicked, she glared at the landlord's wife, "Don't talk nonsense, how can you be sure that my family Shang Qian bought it?" โ
When the landlord's wife heard this, she was immediately unhappy, she was obviously for her good, why was she still suspected.
However, she also reacted quickly, blaming herself for talking too much and saying things that shouldn't have been said.
It's okay not to say this, when I asked her, I really didn't know, the landlord's wife didn't want to stir up trouble, I heard that the fur was bought by Mr. Shang Qian, she also thought if she could spend more money to buy the fur, anyway, Jiang's work on weekdays is definitely inconvenient to wear, and the leather is burned out when cooking, and it is a waste to buy it without wearing.
She immediately sighed and compromised: "It's me who saw it wrong, I read it wrong." โ
When Jiang Shi saw her say this, he didn't argue with her, he took the cotton and left, it must have been that they recognized the wrong person.
However, even if she believed her husband again, the words of the landlord's wife still planted a thorn in her heart.
There are so many people in this town, most of them are familiar with it, and it should not be mistaken that such a valuable thing as a fur fur is made.
