"Mother, why can't I have a pure relationship like my big sister. Even if it's just for a while? ”

Cheng Yulou said in a distraction, but was violently pushed out by the Yang family.

Cheng Yulou only felt that in the last second, she was still in her mother's arms, and the next second she was suddenly thrown out by her mother, and when she came back to her senses, she had been pushed to the hall, sat on the ground, and her wrists were on the ground, very sore.

Cheng Yulou looked at his mother puzzled, but Yang looked cold.

"How could I have taught a daughter like you?"

Yang Shike looked at Cheng Yulou with cold eyes, as if he was looking at the enemy again, and as if he hated iron but not steel.

"How did I teach you from a young age? How do you choose the path between me and Mrs. Xian? Is it like her to die fragrantly, or to laugh to the end like me, and become the lady of Duhou that everyone fears! The choice is yours! ”

As he spoke, Yang stretched out a finger and pointed to Cheng Yulou on the ground, and the vicious words came casually.

"What are you, have you forgotten who you are? If it weren't for my decades of petty flattery, would you become the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion? You're worse than that transparent person in the West Courtyard! ”

Saying that, Yang got up from the main seat, came to his daughter, squatted down and held his daughter's hand, and did not pull Cheng Yulou to get up, just like caring, and condescendingly.

"Good daughter, there is no daughter in this world who is an exception, and you will not be. Mother is all for your good, obediently do what your mother says, and after your mother protects you, you will be a noble princess. If you are shaken and want to learn from Cheng Yuguan, the fate of Mrs. Xian is a lesson from the past! ”

Seeing Cheng Yulou's eyes shrink, Yang smiled softly and took his daughter into his arms, "My mother has eaten more salt than you have walked." Men have bad roots, if you talk to them about feelings, the final result is nothing, only put away the feelings as long as you gain and lose, is the final winner. You just listen to your mother, be patient and thoughtful with the five princes, don't care about the so-called emotional face, you know? Don't envy Cheng Yuguan, she will naturally end up in the future. ”

Yang's tone was long.

"As a mother's daughter, how can you be trapped by love and so sad for a man? What you have to do is to withdraw your excess feelings and use scheming and reason to get the position of the fifth princess. You know? Mother will help you. ”

Cheng Yulou's mind was scattered, and he looked at his mother in a daze.

"Mother, I listen to you."

Yang smiled with satisfaction, "This is my mother's good daughter." Hurry up, it's almost late autumn, and it's cold on the ground. ”

…

Yang's "teaching" to his daughter, Cheng Yuguan has no way of knowing.

Since the September New Day Poetry Meeting, she has not seen the people and things over there in Cheng Yulou for a long time, and in these three months, she only feels that she has been the happiest since she returned to Beijing.

"Miss, it just snowed yesterday, and you're going out to run a race, it's too cold."

Liuyun hesitated while taking out the finch feather for the young lady.

Cheng Yuguan stood in front of the mirror, took the big straps in Liuyun's hand and draped them behind him, and while tying the strap in front of his neck, he didn't care.

"Don't worry, I'm wearing three layers, and a layer of fur, and it's not cold at all. After the snow, thousands of miles are white, and after you have seen the shocking beauty, you will never forget it, and every year in the future, it is also a blessing in the memory to recall occasionally. ”

Liuyun listened, and his face was a little more relaxed.

"When the young lady said this, the slave maid was a little impatient."

The two packed up and went out of town together.

The grassland in the north of the city, at this time, there is no barren grass, thousands of miles of plains, white and boundless, only a few crooked neck trees, black and dotted in the thousands of miles of white vastness, like a living ink painting.

Liuyun's red face was shocked.

She looked at Cheng Yuguan and said sincerely.

"That is, follow the young lady, the slave can feel the magnificence of the world! This will be a good memory for me for the rest of my life. Otherwise, in retrospect in this life, the slave and maid are afraid that they only have one acre and three points of land in their own house, and they will be entangled with human feelings. Where can there be such a respite from the boring life for a moment? ”

Liuyun's words made Cheng Yu care about God and be happy.

Being able to introduce one's heart to fellow believers and gain the recognition of others is also a pleasant thing for Cheng Yuguan.

"Okay, you're comfortable here, don't care if I'm waiting!"

Suddenly, the sound of horses neighing behind him broke the quiet environment of Beicheng.

Liuyun turned back with the young lady, but saw the four princes riding horses, still with only Lin Jing behind them.

"I was photographed by the beautiful scenery of heaven and earth, and I forgot for a moment that you were still waiting for me."

Cheng Yuguan scratched his head and explained with some embarrassment.

Li Mian followed Cheng Yuguan's gaze and saw that the world was the same, almost no variegation, only a few crooked neck trees on the horizon, as if the finishing touch in an ink painting.

Li Mian looked at Cheng Yuguan again, and saw that there was still a love for the beautiful scenery of heaven and earth in her eyes, and couldn't help but say.

"Why don't you ride over, I'll make a note of your appearance, and I'll go back and draw you and give it to you." When you look back on it in the future, you are not afraid that your memory will be blurred. ”

"Really?!"

Cheng Yuguan was pleasantly surprised, and then distressed.

"It's a pity that my painting skills are average, so I can't give you the same reward."

Cheng Yuguan does things, and subconsciously wants to exchange fairly.

If you paint for me, it would be best if I could give you the same painting in return.

If you can't, you have to find other ways to compensate.

"Why don't I eat the pot in Mingyue Tower for a while! Eating a pot on a snowy day, thinking about it will fall off your saliva! ”

Seeing Cheng Yuguan suddenly looking so gluttonous, Li Mian couldn't help but smile,

"Okay, you go quickly, and then let's go eat the pot together!"

When Cheng Yuguan heard this, he immediately stopped squirming and delaying, picked up the horse's belly and ran out.

The world is vast, Cheng Yuguan's horse is trotting faster and faster, Cheng Yuguan also leaned over the horse, waving the whip in his hand, and the horse ran faster and faster.

Liuyun and the Four Princes waited in place, and they couldn't help but shout to Miss to slow down.

After a while, Cheng Yuguan galloped under the crooked neck tree, Cheng Yuguan suddenly reined in the horse and stopped suddenly, the upper body of the horse was raised, Cheng Yuguan grabbed the reins, and after the horse stopped and turned, he faced the direction of Li Mian and waved his hand from afar.

As if she was punching in under the tree with her crooked neck, she waved her hand, trying to make Li Mian remember what she looked like at this time and draw her a picture.

As everyone knows, this world is the same color, only the horseshoe prints of her riding away on horseback, and the figure of her hovering under the crooked neck tree just now made Li Mian even more memorable.

Worried again, and felt happy for her, that feeling was deeply planted in Li Mian's heart, making him want to draw it almost immediately and stay on the paper forever.

It's a pity that it's freezing in the wild, and it's not suitable for splashing ink, Li Mian raised his arm and beckoned to Cheng Yuguan in the distance, asking her to come back quickly.

After a while, he didn't want to wait any longer, so he simply rode his horse and rushed to Cheng Yuguan's side, and in the ink painting, there was suddenly another row of horseshoe prints, side by side with Cheng Yuguan's, and disappeared under the crooked neck tree.

"Let's go back. Didn't you say you were going to eat the pot? ”

Li Mian said.

Who knew that Cheng Yuguan took out the trap from the bag behind the horse.

"Don't you like to eat roasted hare? I brought a trap, let's put a few first, and I'll collect it in two days! ”

When Cheng Yuguan said this, his eyes were shining, and his mouth seemed to have a water color, as if he was hungry for saliva.

When Li Mian heard this, seeing her so greedy, for some reason, he couldn't help laughing, coughed lightly, and held back the smile on his lips.

"You've been very busy in the past, why have you been free lately. A few days ago, you asked you to run a horse, and you said that you had no time to take stock, and you came today, why do you have to come in two days? Is there time? ”

Cheng Yuguan smiled when he heard this, "Just take stock of the time for a day or two." And it's snowing, and the business in the shop has to stop for a while. I'm not a black-hearted shopkeeper who lets guys struggle in the snow. Cat Winter, Cat Winter, I'm going to give myself and my guys a vacation too! ”

Hearing Cheng Yuguan say this, Li Mian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Well, since you've been fine lately, you might as well get together another day. I've invited you many times, you always have something to delay, this time you yourself said that you have time, you won't still agree, right? ”

Li Mian found a good time, Cheng Yuguan heard this, and wanted to shirk it again, but he couldn't think of an excuse, so he had to take a deep breath, "Okay, I will visit the house in two days, and I will trouble you, the host's family!" ”

Seeing that Cheng Yuguan finally responded neatly, Li Mian couldn't bear to smile anymore, and the corners of his mouth opened.

"Let's go, it's too cold here, let's go eat the pot!"

The two had a hearty meal in Mingyue Tower, and in the afternoon, they lazily rode back to the city.

At the fork in the royal street, Cheng Yu stopped, and Li Mian also stopped.

"You have something to do, I'll go back by myself."

The fork in the road here, to the west is General Cheng's Mansion, and to the east, is the Guozijian Gongyuan.

Li Mian is now concurrently serving as the deputy chief examiner for next year's spring examination, and has been busy in both places recently.

Unlike Cheng Yuguan, who can still give himself a holiday, Li Mian is really busy every day, and when he comes to see Cheng Yuguan, he has to make an appointment in advance.

Li Mian was at the fork in the road, looking at the girl in front of him, only to feel that time passed too fast, and it was time to separate in a blink of an eye.

He has always felt that he is not as flamboyant as the fifth brother, but he feels that today's snow is just right, so he doesn't want to leave easily.

"I'll send you home, at the gate of the General's Mansion, and I'll leave again."

Although he was a little surprised by Li Mian's sudden words, Cheng Yuguan still nodded.

Her temperament has never been entangled in trivial matters.

"That's good."

Cheng Yuguan raised his eyebrows in response, and the two turned their horses' heads together and slowly turned back to General Cheng's mansion.

"Little sister!"

Suddenly, Cheng Lang's voice came, and Cheng Yuguan and Li Mian turned their heads together and looked over.

Cheng Lang's side, the fifth prince Li Ke, the clan sister Cheng Yulou, and Bai Xiaoling's several noble daughters also seemed to have returned from stepping on the snow, and they happened to meet.

Behind Cheng Lang, Cheng Yulou just saw with his own eyes the slimy appearance of Cheng Yuguan and the four princes who couldn't bear to be separated, and couldn't help but glance at the five princes with a gloomy face on the side.

Seeing the eyes of the five princes, unwillingly full of spirit, Cheng Yulou's heart was filled with bitter waves, and he instantly returned to calm.

My mother is right, love is not worth mentioning, and persevering until the end is victory.

Putting back the sourness in his heart, Cheng Yulou spoke considerately.

"The eldest sister seems to be no longer busy in the shop recently, and today I also have time to ride a horse with the four princes, so it is also an elegant thing for us to ask the eldest sister to go to the plum garden to walk in the snow and look for plums."

Cheng Yulou's proposal was echoed by Cheng Lang in an instant, and even the eyes of the five princes warmed up a lot, and they glanced at Cheng Yulou approvingly.

When a few people met, Cheng Lang excitedly proposed.

"Little sister, there is a plum garden in Xicheng, the scenery is deep, the fragrance is pervasive, it is a wonderful place to watch. Ming'er, shall we go together? The plum fragrance is accompanied by ice and snow, and the cold fragrance seems to be there, which is very gratifying. ”

Since Cheng Lang returned to Beijing, he has been interacting with scholars a lot, and when he speaks, he even chews on words, which is fascinating.

Cheng Yuguan heard the third brother's invitation and subconsciously looked at Li Mian.

"I have an appointment these days, the third brother will go to the plum garden by himself. Just come back and talk to me. ”

Cheng Yuguan is not uninterested in Meiyuan, she doesn't want to provoke a few people in front of her.

Her pure life is not enough, and she doesn't want to have too much contact with unnecessary people.

Seeing Cheng Yuguan looking at Li Mian, everyone guessed that there was an appointment, and it should be with the four princes.

Cheng Lang immediately smiled, "Since the little sister has an appointment with the fourth prince, then forget it..."

"It's better to come with the fourth brother!"

The Fifth Prince suddenly interjected.

"Of course, the fourth brother has recently won the position of deputy examiner of Chunqiu, and he is busy with official business, so it is normal that he has no time to deal with idlers such as me. We don't force it, look at the fourth brother time. ”

The words of the five princes were sour, but they were also compelling.

When the fourth prince heard this, he had to nod his head and look at Cheng Yuguan.

"Ming'er, I'll pick you up and go to the plum garden, and the day after tomorrow, you come to the house and ask me to get a painting. In this way, I also have the time to sculpt more pictures and draw better. ”

"What painting?"

The fifth prince blurted out, perceiving his gaffe, and facing everyone's eyes, the fifth prince explained.

"The fourth brother's paintings are not common, and the younger brother also wants to see them."

Li Mian heard Li Ke say this, but he didn't get used to him anymore.

"The fifth brother's paintings have to be praised by Mr., and the fourth brother's paintings will not be shown to the fifth brother, so as not to be ugly."

As he spoke, before Li Ke could speak again, Li Mian turned his horse's head, "Okay, we're going back, what else do you have to do, let's go." ”

Seeing this, Cheng Yuguan also gave up his hand and rode away with Li Mian.

Looking at the backs of the two, several people had different faces.

Cheng Lang smirked, feeling that the little sister and the four princes were getting more and more tacit.

The fifth prince's face was gloomy, I don't know if it was because of the failure of the deputy chief exam, or something else.

Bai Xiaoling's eyes wandered over several people, and they looked like they were eating melons easily.

Cheng Yulou kept looking at Li Ke, and followed his gaze to the backs of Cheng Yuguan and the four princes.

There seems to be friendship and pain in his eyes, but he seems to be full of the calmness of a bystander.

"I heard from the Four Princes just now that the eldest sister is going to the Four Princes' Mansion as a guest the day after tomorrow. I haven't been in the Four Princes' Mansion yet, so I don't know what it looks like. I heard that the queen gave Sister Mei Qing to preside over the inner courtyard for the four princes. I don't know if the big sister is familiar with Sister Meiqing. Otherwise, in the inner house, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. ”

Cheng Yulou's words made several people instantly interested.

The five princes and Bai Xiaoling all had a light of interest in their eyes.

"We should join in the fun, too!"

Bai Xiaoling proposed.

Cheng Yulou glanced at the five princes with an interested face, nodded in agreement, "My sister's proposal is exactly what I want!" ”

Only Cheng Lang scratched his head, "A girl slave, what's so good!" ”
