Wen Jieqing took the lead and brought a nobleman over.

Lin Piao had no choice but to tidy up the yard, prepare tea, snacks and fruits in the small hall, and receive him.

Wen Jieqing, as an intermediary, first introduced that this brother's name is He Ruo, and he admires him very much, so he wants to get to know him.

After a little chat, Lin Piao realized that he had come to apologize, but he could not be called an apology, but only an apology, because his elder brother was the son of Anhou who was pulled off by the second pillar while riding a horse on the sidewalk, and he was Anhou's youngest son.

"My brother is sometimes so rude, I often advise him, but he never listens to me, I only learned about this a few days ago from the mouths of others, only to know that he actually did such a rude thing, it is really shameful, I already admire you very much, Yuemingfang in Shangjing can be described as unprecedented, this time I heard about this matter, I thought of coming to the door to confess."

What are you guilty of?

Lin Piao knew that the best answer at this time was that I didn't take it to heart, I naturally didn't care, I forgave you, but the question is, the person who was beaten was not at the scene, and the person who was beaten was not at the scene.

Lin Piao nodded: "Why should He Gongzi be like this, since he is not the person you beat, how can he blame you." ”

He Ruo breathed a sigh of relief and listened to Lin Piao's words again.

"I was not the one who was beaten, so how can I forgive it."

He Ruo raised his eyes and looked ahead, and saw that Lin Piao lowered his head and took a sip of tea after saying this, which also made people unable to see joy and anger, and some things were leisurely and unrelated, but they seemed to order him.

He smiled: "It's always me who is uneasy and wants to say something." ”

Lin Piao smiled, and everyone tacitly changed the topic to something else.

Lin Piao is now more wary of these nobles in Beijing, and the previous incident of the Huang family made him realize that these noble women all have 800 hearts and eyes, but if there is a lack of heart eyes, it means that there will be a god with 1,600 hearts and eyes mixed in.

Lin Piao has been observing He Ruo, wanting to know what He Ruo's purpose is, and after observing for several days, he didn't find any problems, as if he really wanted to make friends, and after meeting, he felt like he was familiar with Lin Piao.

Every time Lin Piao said something, he giggled, and then Quarin Piao was funny and humorous.

Lin Piao: ???

He just said a few random words, huh?

When they have nothing to do, they come over to eat, saying that the food in their house is delicious, and sometimes they bring their own food.

"This is the soup we make in our house, my favorite black chicken soup, with a lot of ingredients added to it, and the stew is fragrant and sweet, with both the aroma of meat and ingredients."

Lin Piao nodded, tasted the black chicken soup he brought, and was quickly impressed by this taste, after finding that He Ruo's food taste was very good, Lin Piao and He Ruo quickly advanced from ordinary friends to meal friends, and often made appointments to eat together.

It was winter, and He Ruo proposed to walk in the snow to look for plum blossoms, saying that he wanted to make an appointment with a place to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms together, and it was best to bring some ready-made food, so that he could eat and enjoy the snow and plum blossoms.

Although Lin Piao is afraid of the cold, he has been in the warm house for so long, and he thinks that he should go out to play, otherwise he will only care about hiding at home and sleeping this winter, and the days will be in vain, so he agreed.

"Piao'er, you can invite all the people in your family to come and walk in the snow to find plum blossoms, which is just lively."

"There are several men in my family, and if you come to the appointment, won't it damage your reputation?"

"It's okay, there are a lot of people in your family, how can there be a reason why I won't be reunited in order to avoid taboo, you reunite with you, we will meet in the same place, and when the time comes, I will only say that we happened to meet, I just get together with you, and we will be safe with more people around, and someone will take care of us."

Lin Piao also made sense when he heard it, since He Ruo opened this mouth, he just went to ask Ergou if they were free, and then brought Juan'er and Xiaoyue, and it was also a pastime for everyone to go out and play together.

Lin Piao sent someone to ask Ergou and Da Zhuang, and then asked the second aunt and Uncle Qiu, and asked them if they had any special arrangements and whether they wanted to go out to play.

The autumn rain sent out by Lin Piao finally asked Shen Hong's side.

In fact, Lin Piao didn't say that he wanted to ask, because Shen Hong was busy on weekdays, and Lin Piao knew that he was not available, but Qiu Yu felt that they were walking below, and they had to have the number of courtesies, although Lin Piao didn't say it, but they also had to ask.

"Lord Shen, Mrs. invited someone to walk in the snow to look for plums, and I want to ask if the adults are going."

Shen Hongzheng was sitting in the study with a pen, raising his eyes to look at Xiang Qiuyu: "Which day?" ”

"The day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow......" Shen Hong pondered for a moment: "When?" ”

"After lunch."

"I don't have time, but if I'm out for a long time, I should be able to get there."

Qiu Yu glanced at Shen Hong in some surprise.

She's just here for a routine......

This...... This is how she can go back and return to his wife.

"What's wrong?" Shen Hong looked at her wrongly.

"Lord Shen...... It's okay, then I'm going to go back to Madame. ”

Shen Hong thought about it, probably surprised that he didn't have time and had to rush over, yesterday he told Lin Piao that he had something to do the day after tomorrow, but he still called someone to come over and invite him to travel together.

Lin Piao: This is ...... Dissatisfied that he is too busy?

Shen Hong was slightly surprised in his heart, after all, since he told Lin Piao about the matter, Lin Piao's attitude towards him was also very resistant and evasive, even if he later forced Lin Piao not to accompany him to 'share weal and woe', Lin Piao's attitude towards him was still relatively flat, and he would never be coquettish and angry with the person he liked like other women and brothers.

He treated him like a child, and his greatest appreciation for him was obedience.

Shen Hong has already got what he wants, so naturally he will not press forward step by step, thinking about dripping water and wearing stones, just get along slowly and tepidly.

Today, Lin Piao suddenly sent someone to invite him and made such an unreasonable little request.

After the autumn rain was gone, Shen Hong put down the pen, looked at the long letter in front of him, his eyes fell on the brush and ink, and he looked at it softly for a long time, and couldn't help laughing.

Lin Piao has him in his heart.

Qiu Yu returned to the small courtyard here, and it was not easy to hide it, so he told Lin Piao the reason for this matter: "I didn't mean to disobey Madame's intentions, but I thought in my heart that I had asked, but the adults didn't ask, and they always had to go through the motions, so they didn't ask if they didn't ask, so they went to ask on their own initiative, and the adults said that if it was a long time, he would come over later." ”

Lin Piao nodded when she heard her say this, there was nothing to blame, the big girl next to him was doing these things, and he didn't need to explain everything clearly when he gave instructions, but they had to make their own decisions about the details and human feelings, this idea was not wrong, not to mention that Lin Piao only said that Shen Hong should not be available at that time, and did not carefully say to her that Shen Hong had something to do the day after tomorrow.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal, I guess he's also bored and panicked, and wants to go out for a walk."

"Madam, and then there is Da Zhuang, he said that he still has some things in his hands, and he probably can't go out to play, and the rest of them will go together."

Lin Piao nodded.

They set the number of people in advance, and began to prepare things, such as the hand-warmer, which were definitely needed, and the incense pieces and the like were prepared by them in the autumn rain and summer lotus, so that they could throw them into the hand-warmer when the time came, so as not to smell of charcoal, and the slightest fragrance could evaporate with the heat.

Then it is to eat, since it is to enjoy the plums, it is natural to prepare some light and elegant food, Lin Piao knows that they love to eat cream cakes, the weather is cold in winter, and it is also suitable for cream preservation, so he is afraid that it will be everywhere, so he asked the small kitchen to make some boxes of cakes with small round cans, one can after another, and then made some tea-flavored snacks.

The place where they enjoy the plum blossoms is the western suburbs of Meilin, which is now a popular attraction, Lin Piao is afraid that there are too many people, so he asked Ergou in advance, and now Ergou has become a know-it-all in Beijing, and the head is a Taoist to tell him.

"Although there are a lot of people on the periphery, but there are fewer people who want to go deeper and walk a long way, most of them just want to enjoy the plum blossoms and fold the plums, the weather is so cold, you have to go back as soon as you see it, and you don't want to be clean, so the depths of the plum forest are still very clean, and when the time comes, we will go to the depths, and the scenery will be good, just prepare shoes and socks and bring some charcoal, so as not to wet the shoes and socks, and the hand stove will not be hot."

When they saw that each of them was going to go, and that they were ready to be lively and happy, they could not sit still, and planned to stay up late with the lantern to do the accounts, and to go out with them the next day.

Their family, together with Wen Jieqing and Wen Shuo's family, as well as several sisters-in-law of the Wen family, and He Ruo, can be regarded as a large group of people in Wuyang.

They rode in a carriage and let it go to the depths of Merlin, and when they saw that there was no one around, only a few people walking in the distance to enjoy the flowers, they got out of the carriage.

Lin Piao is wrapped in a thick cloak, and there is a circle of rabbit fur on the edge of the cloak, there are a lot of fox furs in the winter procurement of Yuemingfang this year, but Lin Piao feels that the color of the fox fur is not good-looking, or the color is uneven, if the color is uniform, it is too expensive, and the fox fur that is pure and free of impurities can only be used on the collar, and it is not enough to put the entire edge on it.

Bunny is true love, cheap and affordable, the coat color is innocent and soft.

Stepping out of the carriage, the thick soft-soled boots creaked into the snow with a soft sole, the soles were very thick, the uppers were thick, and thick woolen socks were worn inside, although they stepped into the snow and did not feel the chill attacking.

There were only two shallow footprints on this piece of land, which looked like someone had passed by yesterday and was almost covered with snow today.

He stretched his feet, listened to the crunching sound of the snow, and felt the softness, the thick snow collapsing under his feet, like stepping on the thick cotton.

Juan'er and Xiaoyue also got out of the car behind, and the second aunt and Uncle Qiu walked down together, and when they saw so many plum blossoms blooming outside, they couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

Because of the appointment time, not long after Lin Piao and they arrived, the Wen family's carriage also arrived, Wen Jieqing got down from the carriage, greeted them when he saw them, and then talked with Lin Piaocao for a long time.

Then there was He Ruo, who rushed to Merlin and stepped forward to Lin Piao and Wen Jieqing: "My mother-in-law asked me what I was doing when I came out, and I said that I would have made an appointment with Brother Xiqing, but fortunately, otherwise I would not have been allowed to come out." ”

"Your mother-in-law is quite strict." Wen Xie Qingdao.

Lin Piao also smiled and nodded, it's hard to say, it's not good to be a mother, why is it so fierce and so lenient?

He Ruo naturally followed the words, complained harmlessly, and praised his mother's goodness twice, and then shifted the topic away.

With outsiders there, they naturally separated, the man and the man stayed together and walked to one side, the woman and the elder brother stayed together to do a group, and the older one did the other together, and the second aunt and Uncle Qiu got together with several sisters-in-law of the Wen family to talk about gossip.

As they walked forward, admiring the plum blossoms, He Ruo glanced at the man a few times and said with a smile: "Lord Shen didn't come, it seems that he is really busy with official business." ”

"I don't know about him, but I said that I would come over when I was free, and I would see if he could come in time."

He Ruo nodded slightly.

They mainly walked and chatted in the Merlin, and by the way broke some branches, there was no warning that the flowers were not allowed to be broken, and the Merlin was not guarded by the owner, which belonged to the gift of nature, and anyone who passed by could break a branch.

Lin Piao picked a good-looking branch, carefully folded it down, took it in his hand and watched it carefully, the fragrance of plum blossoms is quiet and elegant, floating in the wind and snow, smelling this smell when the sky is snow-white and silent, especially such a large piece of plum forest, the fragrance is faintly wrapped around them, with the cold wind is not to bring a wisp to the tip of the nose.

Qiu Yu and Xia He selected beautiful plum blossom branches behind them, folded them and put them on the carriage first, planning to take them back and use them to insert bottles in the yard.

After walking for a while, they still couldn't do without food, so they took out the dim sum prepared in advance, because it was plum blossom appreciation, most of the dim sum that could be made into flower shapes were made into plum blossoms, and they exchanged food with each other, the most popular was the box cake.

When Shen Hong was done, he asked Lin Feng to drive to Merlin, he was reading in the frame, and Lin Feng said outside: "My lord, madam, they are in front." ”

Shen Hong put down the pages of the book and pushed the window open a gap, allowing the sound outside to drift in with the wind.

Laughter could be heard in the distance, and several carriages could be seen parked in the distance, sitting in a small pavilion to rest.

Lin Piao was sitting between them, eating something in his hands.

"Just stop here." The ruts are close to the dirty snow scene.

Shen Hong stepped out of the carriage and walked towards the pavilion.

Only when I walked in a little bit did I see that Lin Piao was holding a box in one hand and a wooden spoon in the other, and was scooping the cake inside with a small spoon and eating it.

He also had a plum blossom on his lap, which was lying across his lap and half-blooming.

He approached and saluted Lin Piao first: "Sister-in-law." ”

Lin Piao hummed softly, he raised his eyes to look over, and saw that Lin Piao didn't look at him, and he only glanced at it before withdrawing his gaze.

After greeting everyone present, he went to Wen Shuo and Ergou Da Zhuang and sat down with them to talk.

Everyone was a little surprised to see him suddenly arrive, and welcomed him warmly, and pushed out the pastry box they brought to him to try it quickly, and asked him to drink a hot tea first.

They took all the charcoal in the hand stove, and the charcoal they brought burned a stove of prosperous charcoal, and when the charcoal was prosperous, they held more of the clamp in the hand stove, and waited for the time when the charcoal fire was up, and the maid beside Wen Xie Qing went to the carriage to get the tea set, and Lin Piao asked Qiu Yu and Xia He to collect the clean snow water on the plum blossom branches, and they wanted to boil the snow to make tea.

"You're just in time, it's a good time for you to catch this cup of tea, and it's too late."

Wen Jieqing handed the tea to the maid, and the maid sent it over, and He Ruo in the middle would also invite him to taste the plum blossom dim sum he brought, and try to mix the tea to be refreshing.

"This refreshment is made by me, and it is not very good, so I just eat it casually, please don't dislike it."

Shen Hong nodded lightly, only took the small dish and put it in front of the noodles, and was not busy eating.

They sat on one side, as if there was a Chu River and Han border in the middle, and only the maid occasionally walked through the middle and sent something over.

Shen Hong took a sip of tea: "Boiling snow and cooking tea is really elegant." ”
