When the eighteenth peach of the first month arrived at the Purple Silk Pavilion, there was almost no one in the pavilion.

Those who are far away have not yet returned, and those whose homes are in Hangzhou near will not live here.

Taoyao's two best little sisters, one of whom is in Guangdong, have gone back for the New Year and have not come back yet. Another pro-married a year ago, married in Hangzhou, and now she is also the proprietress of Tianxianglou, the most famous restaurant in Hangzhou.

Tao Yao was originally going to look for her, but unfortunately she went back to her hometown in Suzhou with her newlywed husband to worship her ancestors these days, and it would take a few days to come back.

Tao Yao was bored and had to stay in the pavilion alone, often alone in the embroidery workshop in a daze.

The embroidery workshop of the ladies is on the second floor of the main hall of the Purple Silk Pavilion, looking out from the window in the pavilion, there is a very beautiful snow scene, Liu Yunjin walked over slowly, embroidered shoes stepped on the wooden board of the attic, making a slight squeak.

In this silent afternoon, it seemed a little abrupt, Tao Yao never thought that there were people in this Purple Silk Pavilion besides herself, turned her head to look, and heard Liu Yunjin smile lovingly: "I'm lazy again." ”

Liu Yunjin is over forty years old, but he is extremely well maintained, and he looks like he is in his thirties, but this youth is not in the skin, but in the charm.

She has served in the palace for many years, and she has been in contact with all the concubines, and the noble and dignified body that she has been exposed to makes her look extraordinarily noble and hides her true age.

"Hello Master Liu." Tao Yao got up and saluted, and said with a smile, "How can I be lazy, it's just that it's too cold, and my hands are stiff." ”

Liu Yunjin looked at Tao Yao's slightly restrained appearance, and didn't embarrass her, just let her sit, while glancing at the embroidery in front of her that had barely touched from the previous year to the present, and didn't say much, but said with concern: "Why did you come back so early this year?" ”

Tao Yao smiled slightly awkwardly, but she didn't know how to say it, she couldn't say that she came back so early for a blind date.

"Aunt Shao'er's daughter in Liuye Lane is about to give birth, and she is coming back in a hurry, so I will come back with her."

Liu Yunjin saw that Tao Yao didn't want to say much, and he didn't force it, but said: "Okay, I'm just afraid that you will be bored here alone, if you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me at any time." ”

After that, Liu Yunjin got up to leave, looking at her lonely figure, Tao Yao suddenly felt a little distressed, Master Liu dedicated his life to the deep palace, and now that he is old, although he has won countless gold and silver and fame, he always looks extremely lonely in the solar terms of various reunions.

"Master Liu, I'll pour you a cup of tea, you came here for me, sit down and leave."

Tao Yao wanted to talk to her.

Liu Yunjin paused, looked at Tao Yao and smiled lovingly: "Okay." ”

Tao Yao went to pour a cup of hot tea for Liu Yunjin, refilled the small hand stove he put aside with charcoal, put on the stove cover, took it, and let Liu Yunjin hold it.

Only then did he sit down next to him, and while looking for the conversation, he asked, "What did Master eat for the New Year?" But did you go to Tianxianglou again? ”

Liu Yunjin smiled shallowly: "No, it's cold this year, and I don't like to move, so I spent my time in this Purple Silk Pavilion." ”

Tao Yao heard this, and felt sad in her heart, in this New Year's Festival, all the apprentices went home for the New Year, and the lively Zi Silk Pavilion in the past was so empty that only Master Liu was left: "Master, if I stay in Hangzhou in the future, I will accompany you for the New Year." ”

When Liu Yunjin heard this, he raised his eyes as if he noticed something: "It seems that there is a way to stay in Hangzhou?" ”

Tao Yao saw that Liu Yunjin saw the clue, and hurriedly said: "No, no, I just said if." ”

"Whose son is it?" Liu Yunjin ignored her, and only continued to ask jokingly.

Instead, Tao Yao asked embarrassedly: "It's really not, I haven't even skimmed the eight characters yet, Master, don't ask." I don't know what will happen to me in the future, but I mean, if I can really stay in Hangzhou, I will definitely celebrate the New Year with Master. ”

Liu Yunjin looked at Tao Yao gently, thanking her for her filial piety.

Liu Yunjin likes Taoyao very much, although there are not many apprentices in this purple silk pavilion, there are dozens of them, including young ladies from dignitaries and dignitaries, and daughters of cloth clothes with exquisite embroidery skills. Tao Yao's background is not conspicuous, but Liu Yunjin likes her character very much.

She is always quiet in her daily life, silently doing her own kung fu, not fighting or grabbing, her embroidery skills are not among the best in this purple silk pavilion, but she is also among the best.

But this girl always seems to be in a hurry, and I occasionally bump into her and a few girls who are familiar with her talking and laughing outside, uninhibited and free.

She can also play with those girls in the countryside, and she can also talk to those ladies from dignitaries, and she is even more polite and considerate to herself, the master.

Well-behaved, fiery, quiet, jumpy, intelligent and wise, not fighting or grabbing, excellent and dazzling, and low-key and silent.

Liu Yunjin has always felt that this is a girl who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, but in the past few days, seeing her sitting silently in the embroidery workshop alone, Liu Yunjin has changed her opinion of her again, and she is afraid that there is another layer of cold hidden in her deepest heart, otherwise, how can she endure such loneliness.

Every time she thinks about this, Liu Yunjin always wants to hurt her a little more, and plucks her more: "Although you refuse to tell me, I know what kind of person your future husband is." ”

This made Tao Yao very surprised, something that even she didn't know: "Master knows? What kind of man is he? ”

"Young," Liu Yunjin said to her seriously, "he is a sinner who has a saint living in him. ”

Tao Yao was puzzled.

Liu Yunjin explained to her carefully: "If you focus on the good character in him, you will get a saint." If you fix your eyes on the sin and the wickedness in him, you will find a sinner. ”
