Yinzhen was crowned Prince Yong in October. After a few days, it entered November, and the weather gradually cooled, until the wax moon, it was already full of snow, and it was very cold. In this cold day, not only the court was full of complicated scenes, but even Prince Yong's mansion was also thriving, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new together, looking forward to the arrival of the forty-ninth year of Kangxi.

By this time, it was the twilight of the year, and the dusty snow not only crushed the branches, but also made the already difficult snow road even more muddy. On this day, Huizhu said goodbye and stamped her hands and feet back to her yard. Yuehe Xiamei, who was sweeping the snow in the courtyard, saw Huizhu coming back with a bang, and hurriedly put down the broom, one waited for her to go back to the house, and the other went to prepare hot water and refreshments for her.

Back in the back room, Hui Zhufang exhaled a big breath of cold air, covered her frozen cheeks and sat down on the hot kang. Immediately, Yuehe squatted down, replaced Huizhu with gold-digging cloud light green deerskin boots, and served to lie down on the kang, Fang smiled: "The master is frozen, this snow is not cold, the snow is cold, it rained for a day yesterday, and the sun is pouring out today, maybe it will rain again one day." Huizhu took the small sheepskin blanket that Su's heart covered her, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "This year is much colder than in previous years, but the kang wall in the house is burning, and there are charcoal skin blankets, and I often stay in the house, so I can't freeze anything." Next, the three of them had a casual conversation, and Xia Mei and Mama Zhang came in with hot water and refreshments.

Su Xin took the food in Xia Mei's hand, and said with a smile while fiddling with it: "These days, the snow is heavy, and the masters of the courtyards don't come out to walk around, and the house seems a little deserted for a while. Fortunately, in a few days it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and it will be lively. Huizhu thought about it, after the last Yinzhen celebration banquet, the sky suddenly became cold, and the women in the house stayed in their respective rooms. But this year should be different, after all, many princes are knighted, and there are ......

Huizhu was thinking about it, so she heard Mama Zhang bow down and say, "Master, the hot water handkerchief is ready, you better cover it first, so as not to hurt your hands." Huizhu also pulled back her thoughts, put her hand in the hot water, and said with a smile: "Why do you let Mama serve me to cover my hands, you have always been outside, what do you have to say when you enter the house today." Mama Zhang replied: "I can't hide anything from my master, the slave and maid are going to buy some goods this afternoon, thinking that the master has not been to the house for more than half a year, and seeing that the New Year is coming, I want to ask the master what he wants to bring in the letter." Huizhu raised her hand soaked in hot water slightly, cleaned the water with a warm and damp handkerchief, and after applying the balm ointment, Fang thought about it and said, "Well, there are some things to bring, and this time I will trouble Zhang Fu again." As she spoke, Huizhu wanted to get up and prepare the things to be brought back.

Su Xin stopped: "Master, don't be in a hurry, you better drink some almond tea and eat a snack first, and it's not too late to take care of it when you warm up." Su Xin said as she quickly handed the enamel porcelain bowl containing hot almond tea to Huizhu.

Huizhu shook her head and smiled, it seemed that she was in a hurry. So I honestly drank a bowl of almond tea, and had some sticky cakes and dumplings, and then dotted up the items to be brought back to Niu Hulu's mansion.

As soon as lunch was over, Zhang Fu came. Huizhu smiled: "There is nothing else, I made some small objects with my own hands, and you can give them to my Ama Eniang." Thinking that after turning over the year, the mansion should not continue to be so calm, so Huizhu pondered for a moment and ordered: "You tell my mother, say that everything is fine in the house, and let her not worry about me." Well, also, Ye has just been named a prince, the house is busy, in a short time, it's better not to communicate, when the time comes, I will naturally contact. Zhang Fu replied: "The slave will definitely convey the master's words to his wife word for word." After hearing this, Huizhu smiled with satisfaction, exchanged a few words of greeting, rewarded the silver money, and asked Zhang Fu to retreat with the objects.

After Zhang Fu left, Huizhu chatted with Su Xin for a few words, and then brought the topic to the New Year's ceremony. Huizhu said: "When I just prepared things for Eniang, I remembered that the New Year was coming soon, but I had to give Sister Geng some New Year's gifts, after all, in this house, I will also be good friends with her." Su Xin was noncommittal, so he nodded yes.

Huizhu proposed: "Su Xin, I gave my mother an eyebrow cover, so I thought about giving Sister Geng a gift for the year, what do you think?" Su Xin thought for a while, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "What the master said is very true, there are still some brocades, velvet and otter materials in the curry, you just use them to cover your eyebrows, and then embroider some flowers and auspicious patterns such as 'auspicious Ruyi', 'Fu', and 'Xi'. ”

After Su Xin finished speaking, the more Huizhu thought about it, the more she felt that it was good to send an eyebrow cover to Geng's family as a New Year's gift, so the two carefully discussed whether it was better to inlay the eyebrows with some emerald inlaid jewelry, or to nail red and white rice beads. Until the time was right, the two discussed it, and Huizhu ordered Yuehe to find materials and beads, and began to cover her eyebrows with great interest.

However, Huizhu is a hot person, saying that the wind is the rain, and this is done for several hours, and even in the dinner room, she only hastily eats some food, and then begins to do needlework with the bright candle lamp. Therefore, at night, when Yinzhen entered Huizhu's yard, Mama Zhang was the only one in the yard who was cleaning up and taking care of something, and there was no trace of anyone else. Yinzhen waved off Mama Zhang's communication and walked straight inside. At this time, Huizhu was threading the needle on the velvet with an embroidery needle, and from time to time she laughed with Su Xin and others, but she didn't notice Yinzhen's arrival.

Huizhu was taking a white rice bead and nailing it to her eyebrows, and suddenly felt a little quiet, and there was no laughter, so she raised her head in wonder. When I saw it, it was Yinzhen, and I was stunned for a moment, so I hurriedly put down the needle and thread in my hand, put on Yunzi shoes, got up from the kang, and took Su Xin and others to salute Yinzhen together.

Seeing that Yinzhen was the first to respond, Huizhu hurriedly asked Yuehe Xiamei to go down to prepare some hot water and refreshments, and asked Su Xin to clean up the three or four embroidery piers in the house, and she personally served Yinzhen to sit down on the kang.

Yin Zhen sat down on the kang, glanced at the embroidery work that Huizhu put on the kang table, frowned lightly and said: "I know you like embroidery, but I don't wait for you to embroider day and night, so you are not afraid of hurting your eyes." Huizhu squatted down to wait for Yinzhen to change her leather boots, took the green satin felt soap shoes from Su Xin's hand and put them on Yinzhen, Fang got up and replied: "Xie Ye cares, the concubine is provincial, and it is only occasionally embroidered at night." Yinzhen whispered "En", then picked up Huizhu's embroidery work and looked at it casually, and said, "Your embroidery is good." ”

Huizhu didn't like to be interrupted, but because the person who interrupted her was Yinzhen, she couldn't, but she had to serve him well, so she didn't have the heart to deal with him, so she replied casually: "If you like it, the concubine will also do some embroidery work for you." Yinzhen put down the half-made eyebrow covering in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Huizhu, and said without color: "Well, since you want to do it for me, do it." As he spoke, Yin Zhen raised his foot again to look at the shoes he was wearing, and continued: "These shoes were brought by Xiao Luzi, well, you can make me a pair of shoes to wear in the back room, and I will change them when I come in the future." ”

Huizhu looked at Yinzhen who looked like a grace, and was secretly annoyed, how could she forget Yinzhen's domineering side under indifference and coldness after getting along for so long, and now maybe Yinzhen still thinks that it is her great honor to let her make shoes. Thinking that Yinzhen's heart was very narrow in some aspects, he had to suppress his grievances, and said with a smile: "Xie Ye can see the embroidery work of the concubine, and the concubine must be done in the first month." Yin Zhen nodded as he should, and ordered: "Well, it's not in a hurry, you just take your time." While speaking, Yuehe came in with hot water, and Huizhu took Yinzhen's hand, soaked it in water and washed it, and personally cleaned the water for him with a handkerchief, and sent Yuehe down.

Yinzhen covered her hands, and when Huizhu took the refreshments handed by Xia Mei, she used the bowl of tea, squinted her eyes comfortably, leaned back on the kang mat, and said vaguely: "Xiao Luzi, what time is it now?" Xiao Luzi, who had been standing aside, bowed down and said, "Back to my lord, the day is almost over." Yin Zhen snorted, took a sip of tea again, ignored Huizhu and Xiao Luzi Suxin and others who were standing aside, and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Half an hour later, when Huizhu was standing a little numb and ready to speak, Yinzhen Fang half-covered his eyelids and said in a dark voice: "Go and prepare the washing utensils." With that, he got up and spread his arms. Seeing this, Huizhu resigned herself to her fate and walked over and lowered her robe for Yinzhen.

After a while, Xiao Luzi came with all the things for washing, and Huizhu waited with Xiao Luzi for Yinzhen to wash and sleep. Everything should be over, and Xiao Luzi bowed down and retreated. And Huizhu also washed hastily under Su Xin's service, and then sent Su Xin to wait outside, Hui Zhu Fang took off her coat and walked to the bed with only her underwear.

At this time, Yinzhen had already closed her eyes and lay down, Huizhu faintly looked at Yinzhen who closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep, sighed in her heart, took off her shoes, got on the bed, half-knelt beside the bed, and after putting down the water-red bed curtain, she was pulled into a chest with hot air.

Outside, in the dead of night, only the howling cold wind rustles, and the opposite of the twilight of this year is the warm house, the spring under the red veil...... The two of them turned over the clouds and rained, and they were entangled with sympathy......
