Chapter Thirty-Eight: Heavy Snow

Time flies, and in a snap of a finger, it is November, the first day of the new year, and heavy snowfall.

The leaves of the osmanthus tree in the courtyard have already fallen off, standing bare in the courtyard, the wind is very strong on this day, and the branches are blowing.

Wan Qing took a basin of hot water and was about to enter the house, when he saw a small snow droplet floating in the sky, he endured the cold wind and caught some with his hand at the door, and then saw the snow in his palm melt away, and shouted to the house with some excitement, "Madam, come out and see, it's snowing outside!" ”

Li Tianyan looked at Wan Qing, who was coldly shrinking his neck and smiling so happily, and said with a smile: "How long have you been standing outside the door?" Look at you shivering, obviously afraid of the cold, but I like to see the snow! It's snowing outside, and I saw it when you went to fetch water. ”

Wan Qing put down the hot water and said, "Madame Guan will make fun of me, you must know that it hasn't snowed at this time in previous years, and this year's snow is really early!" ”

Li Tianyan carefully freshened up, today Yan Rui went to Nanxiangzhai early, I don't know what happened, she is in such a hurry, she wants to follow, Yan Rui is not allowed, she is angry and she doesn't want to pay attention to him, and she will take her with her wherever she goes?

"Madam, are you going to Nanxiangzhai to find the young master now?" Wan Qing, who was watching his wife's makeup, couldn't help but ask.

"What do you want him to do? I hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so I went to my mother's yard after eating. Li said angrily, she was still angry in the morning.

Hearing her words, Wan Qing couldn't help but chuckle, Madame clearly thought about the young master, and wanted to go to Nanxiangzhai with food, why didn't she admit it!

For her laughter, Li Tianyan pretended not to see it, she was still angry at this time, and she didn't go to him.

When she went out, she saw Li Tianyan wearing a red plum blossom auspicious cloud brocade skirt, combing her back to her heart, and wearing the pink plum blossom hairpin that Yan Ruixin gave her.

As soon as I opened the door, I felt that the cold wind was biting, and the neck was a little painful, and after a while, the snow was a lot bigger, and the previous snow spots became small pieces the size of fingernails, and they fell from the air one after another, and it seemed that the snow had a tendency to fall again.

"Ma'am, the ground is slippery, be careful." Wan Qing held an umbrella beside her and reminded her.

The two of them went out of the courtyard and entered the verandah along the path paved with dark stones, and while looking at the growing snow, they shivered with cold on the other hand, and both the master and servant liked to see the snow and were afraid of the cold.

This stop and go for a while to the old lady's yard, as soon as I come in, I see that the plum blossoms in the courtyard have been budding, the red buds are covered with graceful branches, Li Tianyan knows that his father likes this flower the most, and this year there are a few plants in the courtyard, the plum blossoms in the courtyard, this flower has not yet bloomed and smelled the faint fragrance of flowers in the air.

Yan Rui and she don't have any favorite flowers and plants, after the last rain, even the remaining sparse Lala trees were pulled, and I don't know if there will be some more in the coming year.

When she thought of Yan Rui, there was a happy smile in her eyes, and she could see that Wan Qing next to her said straight in her heart: What else can Madame look like besides thinking about the young master?!。

“…… Hey, sister-in-law, you're here! …… It's snowing so hard outside, you come in quickly, and the big brother will be distressed when it's frozen. At this time, Yan Qu opened the door curtain made of thick cotton cloth and saw the sister-in-law who was stunned looking at the plum blossoms in the courtyard, originally came out to see how big the snow was, but he didn't expect to see the sister-in-law, and hurriedly beckoned her in, as if this was his yard.

Li Tianyan came back to his senses, smiled and said as he walked, "Brother Qu, you are becoming more and more improper, even making jokes about me, your eldest brother knows that he can't beat you." ”

"I'm telling the truth, so my eldest brother won't beat me." Yan Qu lifted the curtain to let her go in first, said with a smile, and then looked at the snow outside again before entering.

"I'm here, just cooked red sticky porridge, come and drink a bowl to warm your stomach." Mrs. Yan was sitting by a hexagonal and six-sided flower-drawing stove, drinking a bowl of porridge in her hand, and when she saw her daughter-in-law coming in, she happily brought another bowl of porridge.

"I've seen my mother." Li Tianyan saw the salute, took the bowl handed by the maid, sat beside Yan's mother, and ate the porridge with a spoon.

"I know you just ate and didn't give you much of a ride, it tastes good, right? Rui'er is cute and drinks, right......, others? Why didn't I come with you? Looking at her daughter-in-law's delicate appearance, Yan's mother was happy in her heart, Rui'er's appearance was not bad, and the appearance of this grandson was not good-looking.

"Mother's porridge tastes so good, my husband went to Nanxiangzhai early in the morning, I don't know what happened, and he didn't let me follow." Li replied.

"It's so cold that you don't want to follow it, I think your father was like this back then, when he saw that it was cold, he went to the shop alone in the morning, and he didn't wake me up,...... In other words, the man of our Yan family is the most infatuated and caring, don't be angry with him. Yan's mother recalled her own affairs back then, and praised the Yan family's men.

"Mother, as you know, Yan Rui cares about me everywhere, how can I not understand his thoughts." Li Tianyan turned around in the bowl with a spoon in one hand, thinking back to Yan Rui's appearance.

Yan Qu, who had been listening to the side, came to the sentence at this time, "Mother, if I want to ...... in the future?" Well...... Marry a few more, will you beat me? ”

In the middle of the sentence, the others had already hid in the doorway.

"In the future, when you are married, how can I beat you again, but ......, if you really have the ability, no matter how many you marry, it depends on whether you have the ability to manage your house well." Seeing his naughty appearance, Yan's mother said angrily.

"Then I'll go back to the house to read, and marry a few more daughters-in-law in the future to be filial to you." Yan Qu wasn't sure if he would walk back again, and his mother would knock on his head with her hand, so she said a word cleverly and walked out.

"It's a wonder that this kid will go back to read, and his father doesn't have to care about him so strictly." Yan's mother smiled.

Yan Qu just opened the door curtain and bumped into Yan Rui who was about to come in, his head hit Yan Rui's chin, Yan Qu bared his teeth in pain, and he didn't see any expression when he was hit on the chin.

"Big brother, why did you come here with your sister-in-law?" Yan Qu rubbed his forehead and muttered quietly.

"Where are you going? Why do you run so fast? Don't play in the snow when it's so cold! If you are in a hurry, go back to the house and read a book! After Yan Rui finished speaking, he pushed him into the room again.

Yan Qu: Do you want to see through my mind like this! How boring it is to read!

"Mother." Yan Rui looked at his delicate wife when he came in, and the moment he shouted 'Mother', he stopped his eyes on Yan's mother.

Yan's mother: I really have a daughter-in-law and forget my mother!
