Mother Liu smiled and said:

"Yes, this one looks better. It's just that you haven't come out yet, and when the snow pours into your little boots and turns into water, you won't be able to look at it anymore! ”

Shu Yao glanced back at her, smiled mischievously, and walked back according to the footprints when she came.

I went up the trail, looked around to see that there was no one, took off my little boots, poured out the snow inside, and put them on again. Shu Yao looked forward again, the scenery in front of her was fresh, she had never walked around in the Guogong Mansion, and it was very strange here. Now that you've arrived here, let's just go further and take a look.

So the two of them walked down the path again. After walking for a while, I found that there was a plum forest in front of me, and the dark fragrance came slowly, and the plum blossomed just right. However, when she thought that Shen Yu had come here to fold plum branches before, she didn't want to enter the plum forest again.

Walking along the path on the edge of the Merlin, I passed an arched bridge, and a hanging flower gate appeared in front of it. The door was hidden, Shu Yao didn't have hope, but after knocking twice, a face popped out from behind the door, a rather rich mother-in-law.

The woman squeezed in through the crack in the door, squinted her eyes and looked Shu Yao up and down, and said with a smile:

"This young lady looked at Mian Sheng, which yard is it? It's so handsome! ”

Mother Liu smiled and said:

"You haven't seen her, she's the sister-in-law of the big grandmother in the Magnolia Courtyard."

The mother-in-law thought about it, then patted her leg and said suddenly:

"I said! It is said that the grandmother's sister looks like a symbol, and today I saw it as expected! It's like a fairy who has stepped down from some painting. Are you going to Dongfu? ”

Shu Yao nodded with a smile and said:

"I'll go and see if the old lady has come back from the palace."

When the mother-in-law heard this, she opened the door for them, and said:

"From Yulan Courtyard to Gantang Courtyard, it's not close to this door. You have gone far away, and you are the closest from the bamboo forest. ”

Shu Yao smiled, and gave Liu's mother a look, Liu's mother understood, and took out a little broken silver from the purse around her waist and stuffed it to her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law excused herself for a while, and Shu Yao said:

"Mom, take it, it's so cold, Mom has time to drink and warm up."

When the mother-in-law saw the sincerity she gave, she accepted it. He showed them the way to Gantang Courtyard, and then sent them out of this door with great gratitude.

Shu Yao and Liu's mother followed the path pointed out by their mother-in-law and walked for a while before arriving at Gantang Courtyard. From a distance, I saw Xiyue leading a few little maids to have a snowball fight at the door, and they were having a lively game. They approached and looked at it for a while before they were discovered. Looking at it like this, Mrs. Yu must not have come back yet.

Xiyue walked over to them, smiled and slapped the snow off her body, and said:

"Why is the second lady here? Today, we are all nesting in the house to eat and drink, how can we be like us, thinking about playing when we see the sky. Look at those little hooves, throw all the snow balls into people's necks, and I'll catch them later, and have their good fruit to eat! ”

Although Xiyue's words are ruthless, people are smiling. Those little girls were not afraid of her, and they still laughed. Shu Yao smiled and said:

"I'm also wandering around, thinking about seeing if the old lady has come back. It's fun for you guys to play like this. ”

Xiyue knew that she grew up in the south and must not have played a snowball fight, so she leaned over and grabbed a handful of snow, pinched it into a snow ball and handed it to her, saying:

"It's time to do it. As usual, the old lady has come back this time, and I think there is something to do today. The second lady went into the courtyard to sit for a while and drink a cup of hot tea. ”

Shu Yao took it, saw that her hands were red from the cold, shook her hand again, and said:

"It's so cool! Don't freeze. He pinched the snow ball in his hand again, it was cold and cold, and said with a smile:

"I'm not going in, it's a good day, I'll walk around the garden."

Xiyue didn't force her, and let her go.
