Chapter 139: The Tired Crane Returns
After the snow, the first sunshine, the blue sky is like washing, the green mountains of the past are now wrapped in snow clothes, as if the fairy garden jade mountain fell into the world by mistake, and the vigorous mottled peach forest is draped with white veil, like a jade tree Qiong branch, and if a graceful girl, the branch is immersed in the soul.
The white-robed knight rode a red horse and whipped his whip through the ice and snow to the tall and dangerous village wall. Several of the comrades on the wall saw the flaming red and asked in a loud voice, "Who is here?" ”
"Herod'......"
The knight raised his horse and laughed loudly: "Hurry up and report to the master mother and the little lady, and Xiao Langjun will return tomorrow." ”
"Qiang Qiang ......" The dull and slightly piercing sound of the winch suddenly sounded, and the heavy wall door slowly rose.
Zhuangzhong.
It snowed intermittently for three days, inside and outside the village were all white, more than a dozen little maids were holding bamboo brooms to sweep the snow all over the courtyard, they were all wearing coarse cloth skirts, the color and style were the same, the upper body was light blue and the lower body was white, and the embroidered shoes were green. At this moment, two big white geese scurried across the snow one after the other, and went on a rampage, startling the maidservants to cry out again and again.
In the distance, the broken lake came with snow geese and warblers, her outfit was different from others, and the green glass and silver hairpins were obliquely inserted into the bottom of the trembling and dangerous bun; outlining the two rings of green silk flying clouds, it is the flying bun; The moth pattern in the center of the eyebrows is depicted as a three-leaf plum blossom, just like cherry red dots; wears a muslin cardigan skirt with red edges on a white background, and the corners and cuffs of the skirt are embroidered with roses; On the feet is a pair of silk shoes with blue backgrounds and blue edges, and there is a feather cicada at the tip of each toe, and when the steps are carried with both hands, the cicada wings tremble lightly, as if they want to fly.
And as she walked, she whispered softly, as if she was explaining to the two little maids.
"Driving ......"
Suddenly, a long shout sounded, and the majestic man reined in front of the door, and Luo Huan patted the horse's neck. Satisfied, he stepped into the courtyard, strode up to the broken lake, pressed the waist knife and closed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Big steward, Xiao Langjun is back, and he will arrive tomorrow." ”
"Really?"
Suddenly. Broken Lake's willow eyebrows flew, and the smile on his faint face was full of smiles, and he said with a smile: "It is estimated that the time is approaching, but this snow is urgent, and Broken Lake thinks that Xiao Langjun still needs a few days, and he doesn't want to be so fast." ”
Luo Huan said with a smile: "Presumably, Xiao Langjun is eager to return to his heart, so he braved the snow and returned." ”
"Well, I'll have to tell my mother about it. The mistress reads it when she sees the sky. Broken Lake smiled quietly, thought about it, and said: "Leader Luo, the weather has been freezing in the cold and snow recently, and the Ministry of Broken Lake has made meritorious contributions. ”
"No!"
Luo Huan walked away quickly with his knife, and halfway through the line, he heard the broken lake call: "Leader Luo." Let's wait. ”
Broken Lake walked over and said with a smile: "Xiao Langjun returns to Huating." This is a happy event, and each person will be rewarded with another 200 yuan. ”
"Holo."
Luo Huan laughed, turned on his horse, and walked away.
Broken Lake bent the corners of his mouth, his heart was warm, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face. When the little maids who passed by the snow sweeping, they were ordered to clean up and not steal, and ordered the snow geese to summon their entourage and shovel out a road outside the village, so that Xiao Langjun would have a way to come back tomorrow. When she stepped up the wooden ladder with the hem of her skirt. He turned sideways and instructed Yingge: "Maybe Xiao Langjun will come back late, and the lights on the village wall and in the courtyard must be on, and they must not be obscured by snow." ”
Yingge lowered her head and said: "Yes, Sister Broken Lake, the maid will lead people to wipe all the lights." ”
"Well, go ahead."
Shahu stood on the second floor, looking back at the courtyard of the village, his eyes were full of snowy and busy crowds, and his heart was full of a thought: 'Xiao Langjun, come back and ......' couldn't help but stretch his waist, smile beautifully, and then walk along the corridor to the middle building.
Mid-building, warm and dry.
Dark holes were carved into the four walls of the stone wall, and a roaring fire rose from them, and two little maids were adding firewood to the fireplace. Dozens of bowl-sized roses were tattooed on the rosy reed mats, covering the huge hall. Sixteen flowers and sea screens are arranged on four sides, enclosing a warm and picturesque space. The delicate Nanmu case is placed left and right, and a product of agarwood is burned on the case, slowly floating and slowly floating.
Liu and Yang Shaoliu sat opposite each other, playing chess, kneeling around the seven big maids. Yang Shaoliu's four maids, in addition to Ge Fei is still in Jiankang with Liu Wei to run business, Yan drunk and night breeze and the red Xiao who returned from Wucheng are all there, Liu's four maids: ingenuity, beauty, Yan painting, Xue Ji, a group of warblers and swallows on the head of the step shake and hairpin set off each other, just like the red shake willow green, the whole hall is brilliant and gorgeous.
At this time, she was frowning slightly, pointing to the arched chessboard, and sighed softly: "Liu'er, why can't I play your chess every time, but you can hit me?" After a pause, he said: "At this time in previous years, your brother also played chess, he could play your chess, and you could also play his chess, and they didn't give in......
Yang Shaoliu bowed his head slightly, his long eyelashes flickered, focusing on the chessboard, his face was still tied with a silk scarf, covering his peerless face, and he could only see the smoke-like eyebrows and eyes, as well as the upturned nose bridge. The whole body is wearing a peach brocade skirt, like water, with a large pink lotus on the left shoulder, and the lotus leaves wrap around the cheeks, lining the skin to blow and break, like crystal clear. The slender ten fingers are not like things, and they can't tell you and me apart from each other.
Liu's heart said: "Liu'er, it's so beautiful...... and then thought again: "Tiger head, when will you return ......?"
"Pounce!"
With a crisp sound, the white son circled around the chessboard, and went down the high place just in time for the sunspot again. Yang Shaoliu smiled slightly, and said softly: "Mother, you need to concentrate when playing chess, if you are distracted, how can you hit it?" ”
Liu Shi thought about his son, his mind was not on the chessboard at all, and he popped up the sunspot at random, and then sighed faintly: "Alas, this snow is unfortunate, and I don't know when your brother will come back." ”
In recent days, Liu will go to the village wall every day to look, icy and snowy, Liu's delicate body can withstand such a toss, Yang Shaoliu and Broken Lake are very worried, therefore, in order to divide her heart, Yang Shaoliu will come to the middle building every day to find her, either chess or embroidery.
"Pounce!"
As soon as the words fell, Yang Shaoliu hit the black son again in his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at Liu, knowing that she was not here, so he threw the chess pieces into the pot and said softly: "Don't worry, mother, according to Shaoliu, my brother will return in the near future." ”
Liu looked very happy. Anxiously asked, "Is that really the case?" She knows that the personality and way of doing things of the tiger head may not be understood by herself, but Yang Shaoliu is different. The entire Huating Liu family, if you talk about being smart and know the mind of the tiger head, in addition to the tiger head himself, I am afraid that it is Yang Shaoliu in front of him. Besides, Shaoliu never lied.
"Little Lady Yang is right, Xiao Langjun will return!"
At this moment, Broken Lake walked in, first straightened up a thousand blessings towards Liu, and then saluted Yang Shaoliu shallowly, and then smiled and said: "Back to the master mother, little lady, Xiao Langjun has arrived in Haiyan yesterday and will return tomorrow." ”
"Tiger Head is really back......" Liu was overjoyed. He stretched out his hand, took his ingenious arm, and walked out of the house.
Shahu hurriedly took a step diagonally, stopped her and smiled: "Mastermother, Xiao Langjun will return tomorrow." ”
……
When the wild water clears the mountains and snow, the lonely village is more lovesick.
Everyone in Huating missed Liu Nong, and Mei Langjun also knew Huating in his heart, and said goodbye to Ding Qingjin and Chen in Haiyan, and never stopped all the way. Go straight to Huating.
"Driving ......" Rifle waved his whip on the wheel, driving the ox cart as fast as he could.
Liu Nong picked up the side curtain. Looking up at the clear and snowy sky, I didn't see the stars and the moon but it was clear and innocent, and it was suitable for night walking. The shaking body destroys people to sleep, but they don't want to close their eyes, and the slight cold wind blows, and they don't feel cold.
"Appeal ......"
Stay until the middle of the night. Laifu restrained the cow and shouted happily: "Xiao Langjun, look! ”
Arrived?
Liu Nong was very happy in his heart, hurriedly opened the curtain and came out, standing on the wheel and looking. The warmth suddenly filled my arms, but I could see that the majestic village wall was not far away, and the wall was flickering with lights.
The pothos jumped out of the car, crossed her hands, stretched her body, and waited to see the lights on the wall of the village, cheering: "Lannu, look, that's our Huating Liu's lamp, like a row of noctilucent insects, yes or no?" ”
Lan Nu has already seen it, the people who walk in the wilderness, the most afraid and happy to see the lights, blinking the light blue sea, softly folded and whispered: "This is the Hua Pavilion, this is the Hua Ting ......" Along the way, she thought about what the Hua Pavilion would look like countless times, maybe tall, or majestic, or maybe just a different cage, and the shadowy lights in front of her made her suddenly have a kind of indescribable, unclear feelings in her heart.
The white-robed man on duty on the wall waved a torch and asked in a loud voice, "Who is coming?" ”
Laifu strode forward, tilted his head, and shouted: "Open the door of the village quickly, Xiao Langjun is back!" ”
Xiao Langjun is back!
One stone struck a thousand waves, and in an instant, the already sleeping manor woke up instantly, the lights that had been stopped were lit one after another, the closed doors were opened one after another, and there were figures coming and going everywhere, all around with earnest smiles.
Ingenuity and Liuyan helped Liu to step out of the middle building, and Broken Lake was already waiting downstairs with a smile on his face. In the corridor of the west building, the lights are swaying, Yan is drunk, the night breeze holds the plum blossom and snow lantern in front, the red light holds the lamp behind, and Yang Shaoliu walks in the middle of the cluster. The faint light of the lamp reflected Li Yue, who was three steps behind, and the white begonias on the green robe were extremely eye-catching.
Everyone gathered downstairs, Liu took Yang Shaoliu's hand and gently caressed it, and said with a smile: "Liu'er, your brother is back, but he woke you up, and later, let your brother make amends to you, you have to discipline him." ”
Yang Shaoliu's heart trembled when she heard this, and her willow eyebrows condensed slightly, but she couldn't refute her, so she had to say softly: "Mother, Shaoliu hasn't slept ...... yet."
Qiaosi smiled: "The master mother hasn't slept all night, and she has been talking about Xiao Langjun, but I didn't think that Xiao Langjun really came back." ”
As he spoke, his footsteps did not stop, and everyone walked through the corridor to the outside of the courtyard. Outside the courtyard, Luo Huan, Gao Lan, Hu Hua and others stood here, and beside them stood the sturdy Zhang Ping, and on his shoulder sat a little girl.
The little girl is very well-behaved and smart, seeing Liu come out, her bright big eyes and bones gurgling, slipping down from her brother's shoulder, pulling her brother's chest and falling to the ground, holding her hands on her waist, and giving Liu's a blessing: "Jing Jiao, I have seen a beautiful housewife, a beautiful little lady, and a beautiful sister......
Three beautiful in a row, which made all the women very happy, Tong Yan is unscrupulous, Tong Yan is the truest.
Ingenuity likes Xiao Jingwan the most, so he hugged it in his arms and took a sip of incense. Yan drunk also wants to come to the incense, Xiao Jingjiao turned her head and didn't let her, and muttered in a coquettish voice: "Sister Yan drunk, you haven't made the paper you promised me last time." ”
"Haha......"
"Gege ......"
Everyone laughed.
Liu was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Good, good, reward, reward......"
Qiao Si smiled: "How much?" ”
At this question, Liu himself had no idea, and looked sideways at Shahu and Yang Shaoliu. Shahu waited for a few breaths, and when he saw that Yang Shaoliu didn't say anything, he pulled off the green glass and silver hairpin on his head, thought about it, and took off a pair of jade bracelets on his wrist and handed them to Xiao Jinghuan together.
Xiao Jingjiao took the thing honestly and unceremoniously, squinted her big eyes, fiddled with the jade bracelet and hairpin in her arms, and thought: It's really good, it would be good if that Xiao Langjun could come back once every two days......
"Crunch, crunch!"
The road that shoveled through the snow was icy, and the car made a crisp sound as it rolled on.
Liu looked at the winding convoy coming from afar, and the people who hadn't looked at Liu Nong before they shouted coquettishly: "Tiger head ......"
Approaching.
Liu Nong jumped out of the car, looked at the large group of people and lights on the side of the bamboo forest bridge, and the pace under his feet became faster and faster, and he walked to the front quickly, and was about to salute, but he didn't want to be pulled into Liu's arms, her cheeks grinded her cheeks, but her mouth murmured: "Tiger head, tiger head, I want to die as a mother." ”
"Mother!"
Although Liu Nong's heart is a little astringent, it is not as good as in the past, smelling the faint fragrance of his mother's body, it is all his mother's strong thoughts.
"Poof......
Ingenuity and Xiao Jingjiao laughed at the same time.
Liu realized that he was now in full view, his son was the head of the family, and he needed to leave him some majesty, so he reluctantly let go of him, grabbed his hands and looked at them carefully, and said faintly: "Tiger head, I have lost weight again......"
Liu Nong is actually not thin, but in the eyes of the world's mothers, whenever his son has been away from home for a long time, I am afraid that he will feel this way. When Liu let go of his hand, Liu Nong lifted the corners of his robe, regardless of the dampness and coldness on the ground, knelt down heavily, raised his head and smiled: "Mother, my son is back." ”
Liu's heart was shocked, and quickly pulled his son up, secretly feeling that tonight's son was very different from the past, but it was different there, and she couldn't say it, she looked at her son under the light, the more she looked at it, the more happy she became, and her thoughts flew away, only full of affection, and said with a smile: "Come on, I've seen your sister." ”
Liu Nong shook his hands deeply and said with a smile: "Sister Ah is also here, Liu Nong came back too late, and he was arguing with Sister A." ”
Yang Shaoliu said lightly: "Since you know that it is late, why do you want to return at night." Returning at night, first, is incompatible with etiquette, second, it is incompatible with the time, and third, it is incompatible with the body. ”
"This ......"
Liu Nong's expression was slightly embarrassed, Yang Shaoliu was Yang Shaoliu, and he taught him a lesson, and he was not merciless at all. However, in Liu Nong's heart, listening to her lesson, somehow, a familiar warmth rose up, echoing in his chest, which made people feel quite smooth, and secretly thought: strange......
The rest of the people saw that Liu Nong was embarrassed, how dare they look at it and think more, and they came over to pay their respects.
Liu Nong waved his hand and smiled: "Don't be polite, let's enter the village." ”
Like the stars holding the moon, the beautiful cranes in Huating return to the nest. (To be continued.) )
