On the sixth day of the first month of October, Gu Yan was reading a book when he suddenly heard someone outside say that it was snowing.

He subconsciously looked out, but it was empty, and only when he looked carefully could he see the tiny snowflakes falling from the sky, like grains of salt.

The ground was dry and stunned, and it was estimated that the snow melted before it could fall down.

Looking up again, the sun is still hanging brightly in the sky, which is not appreciated even if it snows. It's not going to work, it's got to be that big and thick, it's too small.

Why isn't it snowing yet?

*

Why doesn't it snow yet, but in early October of previous years, it snowed.

Yan Mingqiao looked out the window, looking forward to the snow soon.

The winter clothes that the embroidery room hastened to make have been sent to Buck Anxuan, and most of the winter clothes are bloated, after all, there is cotton added to them, but this one is not.

Pale pink color, there is not much embroidery on it, only some patterns are embroidered on the hem and skirt.

It's a plum blossom.

The stamens are made of small yellow gemstones, which are strung with holes and embellished on them.

The fabric is softer than the one used before, so it is easy to float up if you wear it in summer, and the cotton added inside hangs down just right. Xue Su has been incense to the clothes for the past two days, using plum fragrance, the fragrance is faint, not smoking, looming.

Jewelry was also sent, two beautiful plum blossom hairpins, and the rest were a few pieces of jewelry made of a piece of ice through jade that my mother treasured, a plum blossom hairpin, a small Buddha statue, and a pair of earrings.

The pale white color looks extremely transparent and beautiful.

When the clothes and jewelry were sent, Yan Mingqiao tried it, and even changed several kinds of hair buns, and chose the most beautiful one, the black hair was combed back into a bun, and the hair that remained below was braided into a few strands, and the rest were scattered like this.

Yan Mingqiao's hair is black and thick, and she looks good when she is scattered.

Now everything is ready, only the winter snow is owed.

In previous years, it was already snowing at this time, and it would drag on until the end of October and November a little south, but this year the snow came very late, and it was sunny for several days.

It's weirdly warm outside at noon.

Gu Mian came to her yesterday, and she gave her a good meal, and she couldn't stop her mouth from eating, and when she was leaving, she whispered her sister-in-law in her ear, and ran away after shouting, Yan Mingqiao couldn't catch up if she wanted to.

It's funny to think about it.

Gu Mian said that it was common to meet before, so it was okay to treat it as before, but Yan Mingqiao knew that this time was different.

Yan Mingqiao looked out the window for a while, and then Xue Zhu came to remind, "It's cold, the wind is freezing like this, the girl has to be careful." ”

Yan Mingqiao nodded, and then closed the window.

Nowadays, it's not just about discussing relatives, you have to look at the account book, you have to take care of the shop, since it's not snowing, then you can be busy with your own business first. The second sister-in-law's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she may not wait until November, and she will give birth in October, and she has to find a stable mother-in-law.

A few more days passed, and on the twelfth, Yan Mingqiao felt that the quilt was extremely warm in the morning, and she couldn't wake up no matter how she slept. The cold wind was whistling in her ears, and it was not bright outside, and it was right to light late in winter, but it was like no day, and she thought it was still early.

Yan Mingqiao was sleeping in a daze, and Lin Zao came in, took her hand outside, and said softly: "Girl, it's snowing outside, but it's too big." Aunt Ning Xiang from the main courtyard came over just now and said that she was going out today, so the girl should get up and prepare. ”

It's snowing, and you've got to get out.

On one side is the warm quilt, on the other side is the snow outside, but when she thinks about the snow and wants to go out, Yan Mingqiao suddenly sobered up, her hands were already cold, she patted her face, "What time is it?" ”

"It's more than halfway through."

The clothes and jewelry are selected early in the morning, as long as they are freshened up and put on the clothes, and they don't put on much makeup, so they wipe off their mouths, and at her age, they look good without applying anything.

Breakfast is estimated to have been ordered by Lin Xiang, a bowl of light white porridge, no spicy and heavy dishes, and even the buns are filled with green vegetables.

After eating, he rinsed his mouth carefully, and then went to the main courtyard, and then followed Shen into the carriage.

First go to Zhenbei Hou Mansion to pick up Yan Mingyu, and then go to the place to enjoy the snow.

The place they were going to was in the west of Shengjing City, where there was a bamboo forest. Next to the bamboo forest are several thatched huts, where literati and artists love to paint and write poems. You can enjoy the scenery outside, the stove is still warm inside, you can make tea and eat, but you don't have to worry about not having a place to shelter from the wind and snow.

And this place is quite close to the Yanguo Mansion, the Yanguo Mansion is in the south of the city, in the past almost half an hour, the carriage drove slowly, Yan Mingqiao quietly opened the curtain, it was still early, and it was snowing heavily, there were no stalls outside, only a few lines of car marks on the ground.

The snow was falling heavily, like catkins, and her mother and sister were sitting in the car, and Yan Mingqiao was nervous and relieved.

Shen and Yan Mingyu talked from time to time, because it was cold, Yan Mingyu followed and sat in a carriage, the mother and daughter gossiped, and Shen didn't look anxious. Yan Mingyu also felt that there was nothing to rush about, her mother said, the Gu family is very good, Mingqiao and Gu Yan have met before, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts.

If you can have a young man of the same age, she will naturally find someone of the same age, Ming Qiao is different from her, although she has seen a lot of things in this era, she is also a teenage girl.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in the bamboo forest west of the city.

Yan Mingyu got out of the car first, and there was a cold wind blowing when she got out of the car, and the bamboo forest was covered with snow, a bit like the scenery of the rivers and lakes she had seen a long time ago, she looked at it twice, and the people waiting on the side of the road didn't know much, so she helped her mother and sister down.

Yan Mingqiao straightened her cloak after she got down, the snow was quite big, she glanced forward, and saw Gu Mian beckoning to her, she was dressed in delicate yellow, next to her was Mrs. Gu, and behind the two of them was Gu Yan.

The few people beside her, she had seen, were her sister-in-law's mother and sister.

In winter, Yan Mingqiao doesn't like to go out, and she doesn't often go to Taifu's mansion, and she has never seen Gu Yan wearing winter clothes, moon-white clothes, and light blue cloak.

But unlike other people's cloaks, they wore hats, while Gu Yan's only had a gray-white fur collar, and there were snowflakes on his head and fur collar.

The first thing Gu Yan saw was Yan Mingqiao, and at this time he couldn't think of any poems praising people, he just thought that Yan Mingqiao looked really good wearing like this, although it was also very good-looking on weekdays.

The Chen family walked forward, Gu Mian and Gu Yan followed closely, and on the side, Mrs. Anyang Hou and a daughter from the family came to accompany Gu Mian, I was afraid that when the two of them turned around, Gu Mian's little lady would be bored here.

The group walked up to the Shen family, and the Chen family smiled first, "Nian'an, this is Mingyu." ”

Yan Mingyu nodded, "Mrs. Gu." ”

Shen said: "She doesn't go out much on weekdays, but it snows heavily today, so we're a little late." ”

Chen said: "It's not too late, it's not too late, we just arrived." ”

Gu Yan first glanced at Yan Mingqiao, and then saluted Shen and Yan Mingyu, "I've seen my aunt, I've seen my sister." ”

Yan Mingqiao also called people one by one, but she didn't pay attention to Gu Yan.

Mrs. Gu of Anyang Hou said: "The snow is also heavy outside, so let's go inside and drink some hot tea to warm up." ”

Yan Mingqiao walked behind, Gu Mian also slipped over, Gu Yan was behind, just like when she went out on the night of Qixi Festival, she and Gu Mian bought things in front, and Gu Yan followed behind.

Gu Mian kept laughing, turned around and raised his eyebrows at his brother, looking extremely unbeaten.

These small movements naturally couldn't hide from Yan Mingqiao's eyes, she glanced back, saw Gu Yan's expression a little helpless, and when she saw her, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

Gu Mian snorted lightly and said, "Mingqiao, I can't accompany you today, I want to accompany Miss Xu." ”

The overall situation is important, she took a few steps forward, and it became Gu Yan who walked side by side with Yan Mingqiao.

Yan Mingqiao's heart tightened, there was a distance of two people between the two, looking forward, there were clothes of any color, and Gu Mian's steps were still swaying. Looking back, a few carriages were waiting there, and then looking to the side, it was Gu Yan.

I was still a little nervous along the way, but now Yan Mingqiao doesn't seem to be nervous, this snow scene is very beautiful, and Gu Yan is still the same as before, they are all familiar people.

In fact, there is a little difference, she remembers that Chen Yuezhou always looks at Lin Zao, and her brother-in-law also looks at her second sister like this, and now, Gu Yan looks at her like this again.

Look at it like a small brush, sweep it.

It made her face itch a little, but when she reached out and touched it, it was crystal snowflakes.

Gu Yan had a smile on his face, and the two walked like this.

Yan Mingqiao also smiled, and she whispered: "You say, such a group of people, will you feel uncomfortable." ”

Gu Yan nodded and shook his head again, "A little bit, but, you see they are in front, and we are in the back." ”

Although Gu Mian's younger sister occasionally turned around and looked back like a thief, and turned back as if she hadn't seen anything, how could she be uncomfortable with Yan Mingqiao.

This is the moment when he walks with Yan Mingqiao in the most open, and he is not comfortable doing anything.

That little bit was just nervousness.

After the thatched house, I saw a few maids making tea and preparing snacks, the Shen family sat down, Yan Mingqiao sat next to her sister, and a group of people talked around the stove fire, nothing more than which family had good clothes, and the snow was really big today.

When the warmth came, Shen said: "There is still a bamboo forest here, Ming Qiao, don't you like bamboo the most, go out and take a look." ”

Yan Mingqiao didn't like bamboo, but she also liked chrysanthemums, the same reason.

In short, the women go out first, and the men follow.

Yan Mingqiao nodded, "My daughter is thinking about it, let's go and see it first." ”

Yan Mingqiao took the maid out, and walked slowly, the snow scene outside was good, and after a while, Gu Yan chased after him.

Gu Yan walked very fast, the wind and snow were bleak, the freshly melted snow on his head was attached to it, and the slightly darker fur collar on the cloak was also stained with a lot of snow chips, and after coming over, he stood still in front of Yan Mingqiao, "Miss Yan." ”

Yan Mingqiao bowed his head slightly, "Gu Gongzi." ”

Chapter 116: Satisfaction

Gu Yan smiled, his eyes were very bright, and he couldn't take his eyes off Yan Mingqiao.

What came out with Yan Mingqiao today was Xue Zhu, who quietly became a deaf person in the back.

Yan Mingqiao felt that they were like this as if they had seen each other for the first time, but they were not.

"I've been to this bamboo forest once with my classmates, you can be here, if you haven't been here, I'll take you to see it." Gu Yan said, seeing that Yan Mingqiao shook his head, he looked back at the maid, and when he didn't look at this, he took out a small bag of sugar-fried chestnuts from his sleeve pocket, and he said, "This is hot, and it is also peeled."

Yan Mingqiao looked at the oiled paper bag in Gu Yan's palm, and it was still steaming. She could even imagine that he had bought chestnuts and came back, probably yesterday, and when he had peeled them, he would take them out and roast them on the stove.

Yan Mingqiao didn't stretch out her hand, she said, "At this time, how can there be anything for the girl's family to eat?" ”

She ate a small bowl of porridge this morning, two green vegetable buns, and the vegetables were also green vegetables, and after eating, she rinsed her mouth carefully, just for fear that there would be a taste in her mouth.

Gu Yan was stunned, and Yan Mingqiao said again: "Xuezhu, you help me keep this." ”

It's always a piece of his heart, and good intentions are hard to resist.

Gu Yan smiled again, this chestnut was bought at the Cheng family, Yan Mingqiao likes to eat it, and he also remembered it.

It's not easy to bring other things, but there are dim sum Yufangzhai, and it's difficult to send something else.

He asked, "My aunt said you like bamboo, but is it true?" ”

There is a way to do what he likes, Gu Yan searched for allusions and poems about bamboo in his mind, but before he was halfway through the search, Yan Mingqiao said: "Fake, just to support me out, there is bamboo here, naturally I like bamboo." After all, the snow can be seen from the house, and I actually prefer pines and cypresses. ”

Begonias are planted in the front yard of Buck Anxuan, and pine and cypress trees are planted in the small garden in the backyard.

Gu Yan said: "That's really a coincidence, I also like pines and cypresses." It's not for you, I really like it. The pines and cypresses are tenacious, evergreen all year round, there are literati and ink writers who like it, and they can also sell firewood for the people to make a living. ”

Yan Mingqiao said: "Rabbits are also counted." ”

But if you don't like it, why keep it?
