Chapter 43: Winter and Snow (7)
Shu Yao took Liu's mother and walked casually along the road.
The East Mansion is very large, unlike the dense houses built in the West Mansion, and there are open views everywhere. It's like this piece in front of me, white and boundless. Shu Yao knew that this was a lake, and in winter, the surface of the lake was frozen, and the snow fell on it, flat and neat, and the sun was shining on it, and it was a little dazzling to look at.
Walking along the road by the lake, as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the building built in the middle of the lake, Shu Yao suddenly felt that the paintings he had seen before, the scenery in them really existed, such as this high-rise building, like a high-ranking person who was isolated among the mountains and rivers, with a noble character and did not want to be disturbed.
She looked at it for a while, and suddenly became a little curious, would Uncle Jiu's fairy-like character feel cold if he lived alone in such a building.
Thinking like this, I unconsciously walked in the direction of the tall building.
There is a section on the shore of the lake, with steps that extend down into the lake. Shu Yao stepped on the steps, Liu's mother helped her, and the two of them carefully leaned down little by little. When he arrived at the lake, Shu Yao first stretched out a foot and stepped on it, and found that the ice was very thick and strong, so he walked up with confidence.
The snow on this lake is very flat, probably because it is open, and the wind has blown the snow away, and it is much thinner than the snow in the thorn bushes, and it can barely reach the surface of the feet.
Shu Yao walked on it for a while, and when she looked back, there was a string of small footprints on the snow, and she suddenly became interested, if a huge picture was drawn on this snow, would Uncle Nine be able to see it standing on that tall building?
But what to draw? Flowers and birds? No, there is no paint, the flowers and birds are delicate, and the painting will definitely not look good. Landscape? This place is already in the middle of the landscape, and then painting the landscape will inevitably add to the snake, which is not as good as pure nature. So what to draw? Beauty! Yes, this is okay, and it should be interesting to draw a huge picture of a beauty.
Shu Miao shouted to Mother Liu to help her find a branch, she wanted to use the branch as a pen and the ground as paper, painting on this white snow, thinking about it is also an elegant thing!
Mother Liu watched her walk around happily on the lake, although Shu Yao was not very old, she rarely laughed like this, she wanted to persuade her to come back, but when she saw that she had other thoughts, it was not good to pull her back. Following her words, he went into the forest behind him and picked up a branch and handed it to her, and stood at a distance on the shore to watch her play.
With a branch in his hand, Shu Yao chose a piece of lake with no footprints and began to paint on it. But before she finished the painting, she found that it couldn't work. There was a trail of footprints left next to the beauty's face, and there was also a trail of footprints around her waist, and she couldn't draw them without walking over. When I looked left and right, I was a little discouraged, threw away the dead branches, and simply walked up and ruined the beauty's face.
Shen Junzhuo came back from outside, and saw Shu Jiao walking around the lake from a distance, the figure was like a deer, light and cunning, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, stopped, and stood in the middle of the road to look at the beautiful figure.
Behind him was not only Zhao Feiyong, but also the general Xu Dachang. When the two saw Shen Junzhuo stop, they also stopped. Zhao Feiyong followed Shen Junzhuo's line of sight, and saw a person running around on the lake, and immediately thought: This girl is finished! The general has never liked people to get close to Lanyue Tower, let alone let people destroy the snow on the lake, this girl is good, not to mention being so close to Lanyue Tower, but also stepping on that piece of snow to sparsely! Wait, you will definitely have to take a board and then pull it out and sell it!
What, the general doesn't care about such trifles? How could it be! He can even see that there is an extra auspicious cloud on his belt and a strand of gold thread, is he a person who doesn't care about details? What, the general will pity the jade? What do you say, when the palace changed, the prime minister and the uncle didn't know outside the palace, but he followed the general to guard the palace gate and personally guard the official's house. How many people were killed that night, it is not an exaggeration to say that the blood flowed like a river and the bones were like mountains, and the robes were soaked with blood. If the general knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, then at least half of the palace maids don't have to die, and the knife goes down, cutting people like chopping vegetables, I'm afraid the general won't even blink an eye.
With the mentality of wanting to watch a good show, he winked at Xu Dachang, and then nodded at the corners of his mouth in the direction of the ice surface.
Xu Dachang looked at his eyes that were almost crowded together, and didn't understand what he meant for a while, Shen Junzhuo raised his feet and walked forward, he was busy keeping up, he didn't care about him, he didn't care about thinking about what this guy meant, and nodded at Zhao Feiyong when he took the time.
Seeing that Xu Dachang also agreed with his opinion, Zhao Feiyong was even more sure in his heart, and even began to ponder whether to ask for help for a while, after all, the most important thing is to be happy during the Chinese New Year. But Shen Junzhuo said a kind "Shu Jiao", and when he heard it, he felt that the situation was not quite right, this was not in line with the atmosphere he just thought!
On the ice, Shu Yao suddenly heard someone calling her, she was stunned for a moment, looked in the direction of the sound, and suddenly saw Shen Junzhuo standing not far away, and the joy of that moment could not be stopped, from her chest to the corner of her mouth, and a big smile bloomed on her face.
She ran towards Shen Junzhuo with her skirt in her hand, and her cloak was blown apart by the wind, like a beautiful butterfly fluttering.
She ran in front of Shen Junzhuo, he was under the sunlight all over, with a shallow smile on his face, it seemed that the majesty and coldness of the past had also melted, leaving only warmth and amiability. Her heart trembled a little, thinking that she was running too fast, and her breath was a little unstable, but there was a taste sweeter than honey that quietly dispersed, making her a little dizzy.
She called Uncle Nine softly, and stood there, forgetting to even salute.
That light voice rippled in circles, patting Shen Junzhuo's heart one by one, and the girl's faint, sweet breath also rushed into his chest with her arrival. His heart was beating out of rhythm for a moment, unable to keep up with the beat he expected. But this feeling is a bit refreshing, even if you haven't slept all night, you suddenly feel refreshed.
The weather was so nice, the sun was shining, and it was a rare good weather except for the gusts of wind that blew over a little bit!
Liu's mother had already rushed over, and when she saw Shu Yao stunned, she hurriedly tugged at her sleeve and asked her to salute quickly.
Shu Jiao reacted at this time, and was about to salute, when Shen Junzhuo waved his hand, signaling her to excuse herself, and looked down at the boots on her feet. It was a pair of small deerskin boots, darker than normal, apparently soaking wet. He pointed and said:
"The boots are wet, and if you don't change them, I'm afraid you'll freeze your feet."
Mother Liu found out that she regretted not taking care of Shu Jiao in her heart, glanced at Shen Junzhuo, felt that he was very friendly on his face, and did not mean to blame anyone, so she boldly said:
"It's all slaves, isn't it, let the second lady walk in the snow for too long. The slave and maid will go back and get a pair of exchanges. Saying that, she glanced at Shu Yao in embarrassment, she went back, she was not at ease to let Shu Yao be here alone, let Shu Yao go back with her, Shu Yao walked with a pair of wet boots, and she felt distressed.
Shen Junzhuo saw what she meant, and without waiting for them to say anything, he said:
"You go get it, come back and look for your young lady in the Lanyue Building."
