Chen Dongmei has no makeup and a naked face, and her thin clothes only rely on a fox fur coat to resist the winter cold, and her shoulder-length hair has appeared a layer of translucent oil that is not washed. She looked haggard and looked for a figure in Jiangzhou.

She hugged the horse a little helplessly, remembering the old days.

Canglou Chengqing for thirteen years.

Jiangzhou, Jiangcheng.

At the beginning of autumn, there was light snow.

A young man sat in front of the window, looking up at the snow falling, he put aside the book "Nancheng" that he had reread three hundred and sixty-seven times in his hand, and let the yellow book overlap and lean next to the table.

The snow fell on the courtyard wall, the weeds at the base of the wall, and the broken leaves at the bottom of the wall. Suddenly, he looked up and saw the white of the sky.

He remembered a sentence in "Nancheng": "There is no trace of snow in the stacks, and three points of smoke and clouds are in the world." At this time, before the snow left some traces on the ground, the world was as white as a fairyland in the sky.

The young man got up, and as the snow fell in his sight, his gaze also fell on the ground under the window.

The snow fell to the ground, quietly, but there was no shadow.

Another poem came to his mind: "The snow falls silently, and the microwave waves are silent." At this time, the young man could confirm that there was indeed no sound when the snow fell to the ground, but there was no way to prove that "microwave waves were without a trace".

The young man clenched his hands tightly, like two small buns, hot, white and tender; After a while, he let go of his hand, exhaled a breath of heat and said solemnly: "I want to learn martial arts." ”

His surname is Chen, his name is Mingqiu, and his name is Chengtian.

When Canglou Chengqing was thirteen years old, he was thirteen years old.

He didn't like the name Chen Mingqiu very much, and even had some disgust, so his grandfather said that he was very likely to not survive next year's autumn when he was born, so he took Mingqiu as his name. But he can't use words, to be precise, he can't use the word "Chengtian".

Chen Mingqiu was very confused at first, why did he have words, but he couldn't use words, Chen Chengtian, isn't it much better than Chen Mingqiu?

Grandpa told him: "Inherit the heavens and inherit the destiny of heaven, what a big courage these two words are, you are still young, how can you use this word?" When you have the ability to inherit the sky in the future, how bold it should be to use this word again! “

He exaggeratedly spread his hands and looked at his grandfather.

He grinned and said, "Are you so bold?" ”

Grandpa stretched out his thumb and squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "More courageous than this!" ”

Chen Mingqiu walked out of the house lightly, the courtyard was all yellowed broken maple leaves mixed with many sharp hairballs that were split in half, and he carefully avoided the broken leaves that were blown to the eaves by the wind, so as not to disturb the others in the courtyard. But when he got down the stone steps, he saw Sister Dongmei entering from outside the courtyard gate.

When the wooden door closed, there were several creaks.

Chen Dongmei's face was delicate and upright, holding a yellow paper umbrella in her right hand, and walking towards him with a basket of three pickled cabbages in her left hand.

"Before I thought it would snow in early autumn, and there was nothing to do in the house, I would bring some excellent pickled cabbage home and give it to you." Chen Dongmei said, and handed him the vegetable basket with three pickled cabbages in her left hand.

The young man lowered his head and took the vegetable basket, and shouted weakly: "Sister Dongmei." ”

Chen Dongmei moved the yellow paper umbrella to him to block the flying snowflakes for him.

"Why did you think about going to the academy at this time?" Chen Dongmei frowned and asked suspiciously, "Don't you bring books either?" ”

"Mr. took leave yesterday, and he doesn't need to go in the near future." Chen Mingqiu replied truthfully.

"And where are you going?"

Chen Mingqiu shrank his head, he was not good at deception, but he didn't know how to speak.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Mingqiu cringed and said, "Just go out for a walk......

The snow was falling slowly, but it couldn't reach the black hair of the two.

At this time, Chen Dongmei glanced at the other side of the young man with her back.

The young man thought that Sister Dongmei was angry, and his grandfather generally didn't let him learn martial arts, he was a little soft-hearted, he didn't want Sister Dongmei to be angry, but he had to learn martial arts.

"Winter—"

"Look, when the snow falls a little longer, we can build a snowman again!"

Well, it's Chen Mingqiu who thinks about it too much, it turns out that Sister Dongmei's eyes are only thinking about being able to build a snowman.

He let out a sigh of relief, fortunately, it almost revealed that he was going to learn martial arts.

"Sister Dongmei's snowman is always not as tall as me!" He laughs.

"yes, yes, I'm going to be very high this year!" Chen Dongmei gestured to the height of the snowman with her other hand, and then put her hand on Chen Mingqiu's black hair, carefully picking off some broken maple leaves that fell on it.

Sister Dongmei said with a smile: "You put down the pickled cabbage, Sister Dongmei will accompany you out for a walk." ”

Chen Mingqiu hurriedly responded, went back to the back room, placed the vegetable basket, and went out again.

"But is there nothing going on in Sister Dongmei's house? You'll be scolded for coming out for so long, right? ”

"There's nothing going on in the house today, and I'm just stealing a little bit."

The two sisters and brothers talked and went out of the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard gate, there are tall red boxes, box after box, all hung with red colors, and the golden lock in front of the box is shining with golden light, that is, a thin layer of snow has accumulated on the box, which can also be obvious in the vast snowy day.

But the sister and brother didn't seem to see these things, and just walked towards the other side of the bluestone slab with a yellow paper umbrella.

The passers-by saw them, and then looked at the red boxes piled up on the bluestone slabs, and immediately swallowed their saliva, but they didn't dare to stay for too long, and hurriedly walked away.

Some people still remember that when those red boxes were opened, what pearls and jade, what gold glass, and what furs flying in the sky and walking on the ground, it was really everything, full of dazzling.

……

The two walked slowly into the market.

Although it was snowing, there were many people in the market.

"Sister Dongmei, did you say that the little girl can't read a book?" Chen Mingqiu walked on the troubled road and asked Chen Dongmei, "Why did the tyrant clearly issue a decree to let his daughter's family also study, but few little girls came to our school to read and write?" ”

Chen Dongmei hurriedly covered his mouth.

"Bah, you're not afraid of going to jail? Whoever taught you to shout this, this is disrespectful, shouldn't it be your husband......"

He hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, no, by no means!" ”

Chen Dongmei sneered, she pinched the young man's immature face and said, "Don't say that in the future!" ”

The young man nodded hurriedly, and shook the hem of Sister Dongmei's clothes as if pleading: "Good sister, just tell me, tell me!" ”

Chen Dongmei didn't tell him, just continued to walk.

The young man refused to give up, stubbornly stood still in place, and pulled the hem of Sister Dongmei's clothes to prevent her from leaving.

Others' eyes kept coming, but they were attracted by Chen Dongmei's beauty.

Chen Dongmei is in the prime of jasper, which is the age when her daughter's beauty is beginning to bloom, just like the most beautiful appearance when spring flowers first bloom.

Many people recognized this woman, a maid in the Ning Mansion, but she was taken by the eldest son of the Liu family.

It is rumored that Liu Gongzi rode a red horse, hung red color balls, and pulled a large carriage of bride price to the house of Miss Chen to ask for marriage, but was blasted out of the door by an old man of Miss Chen's family.

The more pedestrians gathered on the road, the more people looked at Chen Dongmei, but few people cared about the stubborn young man behind her.

Chen Mingqiu cried and said, "Why? No matter why I ask why you never answer me!? Why? ”

He squatted down and dragged the corners of Sister Dongmei's clothes with both hands.

Chen Dongmei stepped back, returned to his side, and took out a clean handkerchief to bend down and gently wipe the tears from his face for him. Chen Dongmei said solemnly to him who was constantly sobbing: "Don't cry. ”

But I heard a voice from the crowd: "Huh? ”

"Iceberg beauties cry too?"

I saw a white little girl come out of the crowd in the bustling gathering place.

", I won't cry!"

"You're crying!"

Chen Mingqiu got up and quickly turned his back to the little girl.

"Oh, the little girl of the Bai family." Chen Dongmei suddenly smiled and looked at the little girl coming over.

The little girl crooked her neck and snorted, she said: "Don't think that if you look as good as the iceberg beauty, I don't dare to scold you, I'm not a little girl!" ”

"If you dare to scold Sister Dongmei, I will beat you!" Chen Mingqiu turned around and shouted, making a gesture to fight but not moving in mid-air.

Bai Wanyun took care of himself silently, knowing in his heart that the iceberg beauty would not dare to call, and suddenly said with a smile: "Look at your red eyes!" ”

Chen Mingqiu immediately shook his head and said, "My eyes are not red!" ”

Although Bai Wanyun is a little girl who is about the same age as Chen Mingqiu, she is dressed in a linen power suit, if it weren't for the two green silks with long hair tied behind her, I'm afraid that no one present would regard this person with such "presumptuous" words as a lady.

Chen Mingqiu only knew that there was only such a little girl in the entire academy, the delicate and domineering "Little Cloud", and the annoying spirit who was chattering in his ears every day.

Fortunately, the snow began to fall very much, like a feather being swayed on a dustpan.

The crowd dispersed.

Bai Wanyun crossed her neck and reluctantly hid on Chen Dongmei's right, letting the yellow paper umbrella above her head firmly cover her, and sneezed loudly.

"Chirp—"

The young man's face was full of saliva.

Chen Dongmei first sneered, and then Bai Wanyun, who wiped her nose, immediately burst out laughing when she saw the stunned iceberg beauty.

Pedestrians hurriedly walked by on the road, only the silver bell-like laughter that broke out under the heavy snow made people stop for a few minutes.

"Iceberg Beauty, the name is really interesting."

"Sister Dongmei, Wanyun told you, there is also a big rooster called hunchback in our school, and I also got famous!"

"Little Cloud, is the school fun?"

"It's fun, it's fun to play tricks on iceberg beauties every day."

"You're not afraid that I'll beat you!"

"Not really! Sister Dongmei is reluctant to beat me! Bai Wanyun said, and hugged Sister Dongmei's arm, swinging and swaying, making Chen Mingqiu jealous and hateful.

Chen Mingqiu didn't understand why his daughter's family could be so familiar with each other all of a sudden, as if they were sisters, but he was just a passer-by looking at them.

Besides, he has never hugged Sister Dongmei's arm and shook it!

"The snow is so heavy, Sister Dongmei, let's go home." Chen Mingqiu hugged each other's arms with his two hands, pretending to be cold, and shook his body and said, "It's so cold-"

"Sister Dongmei, does that Liu monkey really look like a mountain monkey as rumored?"

Chen Dongmei nodded, thinking back in her mind and commenting: "It's so ugly—"

"If Liu Hou'er bothers you again, I'll ask my dad to break his legs!"

Chen Dongmei touched Bai Wanyun's black hair and said gently, "That's not okay." ”

"Oh." Bai Wanyun bowed his head obediently.

"I'll send you home."

"Good!"

Chen Mingqiu is really cold, not only was he left out in the cold, but on the way to Baifu, the yellow paper umbrella had almost no place for him.

Snowflakes kept falling on his cloth, melting into ice water and seeping into it, robbing him of his warmth.

The cloth was already simple, and the cold wind mixed with the snow calmed his fiery heart. He began to reflect: Could it be that his stubbornness made Sister Dongmei angry at the previous moment?

Or - Sister Dongmei doesn't care about herself at all?

He was a little angry.

Chen Mingqiu stopped, ready to ask if Sister Dongmei was his Sister Dongmei?

Unexpectedly, the yellow paper umbrella held by Sister Dongmei did not stop because of his stop, perhaps neither of them cared if he was still under the worn-out yellow paper umbrella.

He wasn't angry anymore.

He was very lost.

Chen Mingqiu's tears overflowed a little.

He was so sad.

A few days ago, he had a big quarrel with his grandfather, he wanted to learn martial arts, but his grandfather didn't let him, and his grandfather never yelled at him in his life, but his grandfather yelled at the young man in the matter of learning martial arts: "What are you doing to learn that thing!" Martial arts, martial arts, can you cook and eat after learning? Like the big man who plays with a big knife, is it embarrassing and conspicuous to embroider his legs all over the street? ”
