The fog is cold.

On the official road from Louxian to Huating, an ox cart is walking alone.

The snow had not yet melted, half snow and half ice, and the wheels of the car creaked slightly, and the driver on the wheel carefully controlled the oxen, and walked very slowly, not daring to rush too haste, for fear that one would accidentally turn into the ravine.

Zu Sheng was wearing a thick winter jacket, his hands were in his wide sleeves, leaning against the wall of the car and pretending to sleep, but his eyelids fluttered slightly from time to time, and he was thinking about what his father said when he came.

"Maoyin, now the name of Huating Meihe is spread in the four fields, seeing that the day is coming, how can I know you again?"

"Father, Zhan Zhen is a jade gentleman, how can he insult him with words!"

"What if you are turned away?"

"I know Zhan Zhen, Zhan Zhen knows me, the snow is sent by Zu Sheng's wish, whether Zhan Zhen sweeps the snow to welcome the bed, or treats each other with clear water, Zu Sheng is full of food!"

Zhan Zhen ......

Zu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, since June to travel a farewell, and Zhan Zhen has not seen for half a year, and in this half a year, Zhan Zhen went to Huiji to study like a phoenix crying crane in the sky, a moment of brilliance, not to mention other places, even the remote Lou County also spread the name of Zhan Zhen, the world said: drunk moon jade fairy Yan wandering Huanchen, as an immortal chant to send the moon posture, Yan Yayin arrogantly argued the heroes, and traveled in the sky......

"Zhan Zhen...... Do you know that the ancestors are prosperous? Will you despise it? ”

Thinking of Liu Nong's current fame, Zu Sheng's original unswerving heart loosened slightly, and he couldn't help but tighten his sleeves a little tighter, as if this would make him more determined. After seeing Zhan Zhen, he wanted to go to Guangzhou to answer Tao Kan's call, but when he left, he had a deep conversation with his father, which made Zu Sheng unhappy but helpless.

It's hard to walk. The road is difficult.

Although the ancestral clan of Lou County is a cold family of the Shu people, it has dense roots and branches, and there are five branches in one door. The current head of the family is Zu Sheng's father, who has been in charge of the Zu clan for 20 years.

Twenty years ago, his father was designated as a seventh grade by Yangzhou Dazhong because of his outstanding talent. Become the main book of Lou County. It stands to reason that in the past 20 years, with his father's talent, he can be the king of the government, and if he teaches his children and nephews well, maybe the thoughts of the ancestors for decades will come true. However, his father was ostracized by others, and his position in the main position had not changed for 20 years, and there was no hope of promotion. And now he is leaving.

Disasters do not go alone, and turmoil arises......

"Alas......"

Zu Sheng let out a long sigh, his thick black eyebrows were furrowed, and he felt that he was stuffy in the car, so he picked up the side curtain to let in the wind, but he didn't know that suddenly a gust of cold wind rushed in, soaking him all over his body.

"Crunch ......"

"Squeak!!

"Bang ......"

At this moment, the green ox suddenly stumbled. I stepped on the skate, pulled the carriage and slid forward for a few feet. The coachman was frightened, and tried his best to control the ox, pulling the cow's neck back to the right, and on the right, what seemed to be floating snow was actually a pit.

Less leaning.

Zu Sheng climbed out of the overturned carriage, and blood was seen on his forehead. In a dilemma.

The attendant struggled to get up from the slush, glanced at the cow lying in the snow, and his heart sank, and he didn't have time to plead guilty to Zu Sheng, so he hurried to the cow that was screaming. After a careful investigation, his face turned pale, and he turned around and said, "Lang Jun, Niu, it's not done." ”

Zu Sheng was shocked, and stepped forward to take a look, but saw a red pool in the snow, and a broken branch was inserted under the neck of the cow, and the cow was fanning his eyes, and tears fell down his eye sockets.

Zu Sheng couldn't bear it in his heart, nodded to his entourage, and the entourage took out his waist knife, glanced at the cow's eyes, stretched out his left hand to cover the bull's eyes, and then gritted his teeth secretly, "hiss".

Knife, pierced into the neck of the cow.

After a while, the entourage knelt in the slush and said in a deep voice: "Lang Jun, the cow is dead and can no longer walk." Why don't you go back to Lou County and wait for him to visit Liu Langjun again one day? ”

This place is still thirty miles away from Huating Liu's manor.

Zu Sheng glanced at the direction of Huating, and then looked at his current appearance, but there was an inexplicable pride in his heart, and he smiled at his entourage: "Give me the knife!" He took the retinue's knife, put it on his waist, and said, "You go back to Lou County and tell your father to send someone to fetch the cow, and the cow was killed by me, and it has nothing to do with you!" ”

"Lang Jun!" The attendant trembled, his hands pressed to the ground, and his forehead touched the slush.

Zu Sheng looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's only thirty miles." ”

The entourage said: "Lang Jun, the wind and snow will ......"

Zu Sheng strode towards Huating, and his voice rang out in the wind: "I miss my friend, how can it be stopped by the wind and snow!" ”

The sky is blue and vast.

Lang Jun, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, raised his chest and walked slowly with a knife, although he was disheveled, but his whole body was like riding the wind, and his steps were as brisk as a swallow. The cold wind ripped the robe, and the corners of the forehead were scattered.

In the white field, a long howl was suddenly heard.

Like a dragon groaning, Qingyue.

Non-stop.

At the same time, on the snow road from Wu County to Huating, a team of ox carts meandered and crawled.

Qiao Yousi was afraid of the cold, holding a small hand stove in his hand, bursts of warmth spread all over his body through his ten fingers, slowly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and laughed softly: "Open the curtain a little." ”

The little maid who was waiting on the side shook her head and said, "Little lady, the maid is not boring." As he spoke, he blinked his eyes and slowly moved his body to block the curtain, as if this would cover the cold for the little lady.

Qiao Yousi smiled slightly: "Silly Qingyan, the curtain is closed so tightly, the wind can't pour in." ”

Qingyan stretched out her hand to probe the curtain, the embroidered curtain was extremely heavy, seamless into the wind, but she still looked at the little lady worriedly, in winter, the little lady was like a lotus in the pond could not withstand the cold.

Qiao Yousi was covered in snow, with a fine brocade snow skirt and a deep snow fox fur, holding a fallen horse bun, and a snow lotus was inserted at each end of the bun; The skin is better than the snow, and the already small face is caught by the fox fur, and the volume is not as good as the palm; The thin eyebrows are like the daisies of the distant mountains, as if they are skillfully pinned with two wisps of ethereal clouds; The eyes are extremely pure, black and white, cleaner than jade, better than lacquer; The bridge of the nose is erect, like a cicada's thin wings; A little small lip, slightly lighter in color......

And at this time, she shrunk herself into a ball, small, pretty, and pitiful.

"Little lady, forgive your sins." Qing Yan thought about it with the bridge for a long time, knowing that the little lady must be cold now, biting her lip and thinking about it, she moved behind the little lady, stretched out her hands, closed her eyes, and wrapped her arms around the waist of the little lady.

After half a stick of incense. After Qingyan hugged Qingyan and warmed up with his body temperature, Qiao Yousi finally eased up, and the color between his lips became thicker, and he held the small hand stove tightly to his heart, and glanced back at Qingyan, and his eyebrows frowned slightly. Reach out and lift the curtain a little.

The wind pours in.

Qiao Yousi trembled slightly, but his white hand was firmly holding the curtain, even if Qingyan exclaimed, he didn't stop, and only after he secretly felt that the air in the car was clear, he smiled casually: "I also feel stuffy." ”

"Little lady, good little lady......"

Qingyan's eyes were misty with tears, and she made a series of sounds, tightly holding the cold and trembling hand of the little lady. She knew that the little lady was physically different. It is not to feel depressed, the little lady has been kind like a mirror since she was a child, the ants on the road can not bear to step on, every hungry bird will give millet, and the treatment of the next person is also gentle and mild, when the little lady was young, because of the negligence of the next person, she fell into the lake and almost drowned. When Da Langjun found out, he was furious and tied his subordinates to the pillar. I want to kill him with a cane. The little lady took advantage of the night to let the subordinate go without telling Da Langjun, and gave her own step to the subordinate to be entangled.

The subordinate did not flee with his family, but knelt in front of the village in the early morning of the next day, holding a severed hand and begging to see Da Langjun.

And that subordinate person is the father of Qingyan.

The little lady in charge of the village rarely uses punishment. But it's strange to say, every time the people make mistakes, they are softly looked at by the little lady, and they are uncomfortable, and then they are punished one by one.

Little lady. She is the kindest and cleanest little lady in the world. Qing Yan blinked, thinking.

"But, on such a cold day, why did the little lady go to Shihua Pavilion?" Qingyan closed the little lady's hand tightly, and couldn't help but murmur out the words in her heart.

Hearing this, Qiao Yousi was slightly stunned and sighed faintly.

"Little sister!"

At this time, Qiao Ran's voice came from outside the cow curtain.

Qiao Yousi was about to open the curtain, so he heard his brother say loudly outside the curtain: "Little sister, don't open the curtain, brother, brother is just a little upset." ”

The fallen horse bun tilted slightly, and said softly: "Brother, don't worry, Liu Langjun is definitely not a person who breaks his word." ”

Qiao Ran sighed: "What the little sister said is very true, but there are only more than ten days until the end of the month, and the spectrum spy is ......" At this point, he paused for a moment, and then asked: "Little sister, do you feel cold?" ”

Qiao Yousi thought for a while, and said with a smile: "You Si's body is still good, don't worry, the spectrum spy department has a nuclear spectrum for three years, three years ago, my Qiao clan has already fallen, according to the law of Jin, if it is better than in the past, it is not allowed to descend quickly, and stay for another three years to stay." Now, General Brother De has joined the army and will go to Yuzhang next year; Then you have to tie up with Huating Liu, Liu Langjun's reputation is passed on to Jiangzuo, although the lintel is also shallow, but it must be a few days before it will flutter its wings; All this, brother, and be relieved. ”

The words are long, like water.

Qiao Ran's heart was settled, but he was worried about the little sister's body, and waved his hand deeply into the curtain, and said astringently: "Little sister, and forgive my brother for being incompetent, so I want to teach my little sister in the snow, and my brother is ashamed." ”

Qiao Yousi said softly: "Brother, Yu is polite and affectionate, You Si should go to Huating to meet the Liu family's mother, why not come to talk about it." However, the age is approaching, and the little lady Song has a strong friendship with the Qiao family, so we must not forget it and should present it as a courtesy. ”

Hearing this, Qiao Ran's eyes outside the curtain suddenly froze, there seemed to be a wisp of green yarn fluttering in front of him, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and the smile on his smile became more and more blooming.

"Brother......

"Huh?!"

Qiao Ran suddenly came back to his senses with an agitated expression, and after a while, he said: "What the little sister reminds me is that my brother will not dare to forget!" As he spoke, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when he heard the sound, his eyes froze for a moment, and then he shouted happily: "The person who came is the white robe of Huating?" ”

"Hoof, hoof, ......" approached, and the knight on horseback was draped in a white robe, and the horns of his robe flew in the wind.

Qiao Ran shouted again: "But Huating white robe? ”

"Appeal ......"

"Herod'......"

Thirty paces away, the knight who heard the cry jerked the reins, and the horseman stood up, fluttering his front hooves and shaking the snow from his hooves.

The knight stroked the horse's neck, and when the horse calmed down, he saw that it was a Lang Jun who was asking, so he turned over and fell off the horse, and closed his head and said, "Exactly." ”

Qiao Ran asked, "What do you want?" ”

The knight frowned, looking at the bridge without saying a word.

At this time, Qiao Yousi had already opened the embroidered curtain, poked his head out, glanced at his brother, frowned slightly, and then shouted softly to the knight: "We are about to go to Huating Liu's family, this is Liu Langjun's friend, Wuxian Qiao's Qiaoran." ”

The knight's expression was suddenly overjoyed, he stepped forward quickly with his horse, pressed the waist knife, closed his head in a heavy voice, and said loudly: "Back to Qiao Langjun and Qiao Xiao Niang, Li Kuan is about to go to Wu County to invite the two of you on the order of Liu Langjun." After a pause, he said: "Xiao Langjun doesn't know that Qiao Langjun and the little lady have arrived, otherwise they will meet each other in person." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Qiao Ran's expression suddenly relaxed, and he laughed: "However, it came just in time, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find the way." ”

"Brother......" Qiao Yousi shook his head and smiled slightly, and gently lowered the embroidered curtain.

At that moment, Li Kuan rode a horse and led the way, and the convoy slowly set off again.

Qiao Ran was in a good mood, holding the side curtain to look at the wild scene, and he didn't feel cold when the cold wind poured his face, and thought: Zhan Zhenguo is as the little sister said, he is really an honest gentleman, I actually spend it with the heart of a villain, and I would rather be ashamed......

Qiao Yousi shrank in the car, holding Mrs. Wei's "Famous Ji Post", his eyes blinked and blinked, thinking: I don't know how his chess game is? Is his writing as ugly as it was yesterday......

Thinking, thinking, Qiao Yousi closed his eyes, and tightly held the "Famous Ji Post" and the small hand stove in his heart. Qingyan hugged the little lady again, with body warmth, the little lady is a fairy-like character, she didn't dare to hug it, afraid of blasphemy, and even more afraid that if she hugged it like this, the little lady would suddenly be gone, when this thought drilled into Qingyan's heart, she was more careful.

The wind and snow rose, and the snow was greeted all the way, shallow and shallow sand.

"Immortal ......"

I don't know how long it took, Qiao Yousi heard a wisp of piano sound in his dream, this piano sound was not warm or cold, it seemed to be fluttering in the sky, without half a trace. Gradually, the sound of the piano has changed, if the empty valley blooms with orchid, the fragrance is suddenly revealed; At this moment, the sound of the piano rose slightly, straight into the blue sky, and the hearts of the people who carried it also slowly rose.

The breeze is a horse, accompanied by white clouds.

Endless thoughts, endless sorrows, as if they all turned into clouds and smoke here, drifted away.

Listening to it, Qiao You thought about it and muttered: "This is a dream, if it is really a dream, I only wish to dream without waking up." ”

Qingyan said softly: "Little lady, it's not a dream. ”

"Oh."

Qiao Yousi opened his eyes and opened the side curtain, at this time the convoy had stopped, parked in the ice forest and snow array, and in the distant heights, there was a pavilion like a snow hat, and someone in the pavilion was stroking the qin. The green crown, the crane, and the handsome eyebrows and eyes are vaguely visible.

The sound of the piano is not stopped, and it is still pouring ink on the mountains and rivers.

Suddenly, I heard a long laugh, and saw a dirty Lang Jun striding past the curtain, the man finished laughing, and shouted: "Zhan Zhen, Zu Sheng is here!" Is there any good wine? ”

On the mountain beam, the sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and the people in the pavilion ran to the side of the pavilion, waved their hands, and laughed: "Maoyin!" ”

"Zhan Zhen, can you have good wine?"

There was another shout of joy, and the elder brother ran past the curtain and greeted the two of them.

At that time, the sky was covered with snow.

Liu Nong ran down the hill, looked at Zu Sheng, who was covered in sewage and cloaked, and said with a smile: "Maoyin, why are you so embarrassed?" ”

Zu Sheng shrugged his shoulders, waved his hand nonchalantly and smiled: "Without it, I rolled down the quagmire three times and fell to the field five times, so that's it." ”

At this time, Qiao Ran also came up.

The three young men haven't seen each other for half a year, but they are like **** to their knees, and they don't see half of the separation, and they are full of laughter. I don't know who stretched out his hand first, and then three pairs of hands, six palms, were stacked together.

Burst into laughter.

And all of this was caught in the eyes of Qiao Yousi, tilting his head and smiling slightly...... (To be continued.) )
