The evening twilight is low, the sky and the earth are turbid, the plum blossoms in the corner of the wall have bloomed, so red and beautiful at this time is a little bleak, the snow is falling, the surroundings are silent, everything has lost its vitality.

There was a light sigh in front of the window, a woman with a sad face, coughing a few times from time to time, with a good face, jade bones and ice muscles thin, and a woman who sighed lightly and looked out the window.

"Miss, close the window, it's so hard outside, you see, I'm coughing again. The maid Tao Yi took the cloak and put it on Ruan Xiyao and said.

wanted to close the window, but was stopped by Ruan Xiyao.

"Don't, I'm waiting for Brother Ji Cheng to come back, he's been gone for a long time, why hasn't he come back yet. ”

"Miss, it's so late now, and the young master won't come back at this time, let's not wait today, let's rest early." ”

Under Tao Yi's persuasion, he saw Ruan Xiyao sigh lightly, and went to close the window.

"Tao Yi, you say, when will Brother Ji Cheng come back?"

"It should be soon, you can rest assured. Miss. ”

Tao Yi poured a basin of hot water for Ruan Xiyao, but Ruan Xiyao had no intention of washing, took a Buddhist scripture and read it, Tao Yi knew Ruan Xiyao's temperament, and spent every day in his thoughts, it had been snowing heavily for the past two days, and his body was not good, and he had to read the Buddhist scriptures so late, he was full of distress, so he had to stand aside and accompany him, not daring to talk more.

"Tao Yi, you go to sleep, I have to wait a little longer to sleep. Ruan Xiyao put down the Buddhist scriptures and said softly.

"It's okay, I'll accompany Miss again. ”

Tao Yi yawned somehow after speaking.

"Go to sleep, it's so cold, don't freeze for me. Ruan Xiyao smiled lightly.

Tao Yi was very embarrassed, so he hurriedly laid out the quilt for Ruan Xiyao, added charcoal, and went out.

In the cold quiet night, Ruan Xiyao looked at the charcoal fire that exploded the sparks, and remembered a lot of past events, every time she was sad, a few crystal tears went down the trend, thinking that the person she missed was still fighting bloodily, how many dreams saw him covered in injuries, and I don't know how he is now?

Throwing away the Buddhist scriptures, she came to the window again, opened the window, and looked out the window at the goose feather snow, and through the light, the snow was dyed a dull yellow.

This is the first time it has snowed, she can't remember exactly, her mother once told her that if you miss a person and want him to return safely, you can recite Buddhist scriptures devoutly, perceive the gods, and let the person you miss be blessed by the Buddha, then he will definitely come back safely and reunite. However, in the face of the Buddhist scriptures that have long been turned over and damaged, the person who misses her has not yet returned, and how many times she has seen the bloody battlefield in her dreams, she doesn't want to look at it anymore.

Every day, she stood on a high place and looked into the distance, the vast white snow, extending to the place where she could not see, and walked through another winter, the cold plum blossomed on the branches, how could she not see the returnee coming towards her.

The mountains are far away at dusk, and the white houses are poor in the cold weather. Chaimen heard the dog barking, and returned to the people on a snowy night.

But it was never there.

When she got up in the morning, Tao Yi had already prepared the water for washing and was waiting, seeing her get up, she hurried over to dress her, before she opened the door, the sunlight through the window, did not make her feel very surprised, but there was a kind of disgust, too lazy not to open the window to see the snow scene in the sunny day, facing the bronze mirror and letting Tao Yi dress her, her eyes fell on the Buddhist scriptures, and she didn't feel disgusted.

His eyes were lowered, he was lazy and weak, and he ate a few bites of breakfast casually, and then Tao Yi brought a bowl of medicinal soup, sighed, and drank it after thinking for a while.

Taking advantage of the sunshine, Tao Yi put on a cloak for Ruan Xiyao and went out for a walk, but she didn't want to go anywhere, so she walked to the plum tree in the corner in front of the window.

"Miss, why do you come to see this plum tree every day?"

"In the years that Brother Ji Cheng has left, only it has been left to accompany me through every spring and autumn, and it has bloomed again recently, how can I live up to it?" Ruan Xiyao pinched a plum blossom and sniffed it lightly on the tip of her nose.

"The weather is very good today, and I don't see Miss raising her eyebrows, isn't it living up to such a good weather?"

Tao Yi didn't care about the anger of the plum blossom, and said with some emotion.

Ruan Xiyao let go of the branches, looked at Tao Yi very cute, and laughed unconsciously, which made Tao Yi surprised and delighted.

"You girl, follow me every day, do you feel very boring?"

"Why, Miss, what are you talking about, it is a blessing for a slave to be by Miss's side, but I feel sorry for you every day because you miss the young master, if you can be happy, I will be happy for you." Tao Yi hurriedly saluted and said.

"Why do you and I have to be so obsessed with etiquette?" Ruan Xiyao helped Tao Yi up, "Since I met him that day, I feel that I have known him for five hundred years, this time I look back, I feel that it is to continue the frontier, how do I know that I have not been together for a few years, I will go on the expedition, there is no news at all, how can I bear it in my heart?"

"Also, since the young master left, the piano has not stopped in the past, and now I haven't heard it for a long time, and I don't know what the situation is when the young master is outside?"

"Did you inquire about the situation today?"

"I went, but there was still no news. ”

Tao Yi replied to such information Ruan Xiyao was used to it, and every night, dreaming of the same situation made her seem to see something in her heart. She hesitated across the snow and left the plum tree.

went back to the room and walked to the guqin, this Jiuxiao ring peiqin has been with her for I don't know how many years. She gently stroked the strings, and accidentally, the strings cut her index finger, and Tao Yi was so frightened that she hurried over to stop the bleeding. The blood stains on the strings Tao Yi saw it and was so frightened that he quickly took the silk silk to wipe it, this is Ruan Xiyao's most beloved guqin, if it is dirty, Ruan Xiyao sees it, wouldn't it be distressed, when he was about to wipe it, he saw that the blood stains had penetrated into the guqin, and he was curious to hear Ruan Xiyao call her, so he thought about it casually, could this qin also be angry?

She didn't even care if her finger was injured just now, and Tao Yi said distressedly beside her why she was so careless and didn't care. She quietly walked to the window, looking at the snow scene in the sun outside the window, the scenery outside the courtyard wall has not been seen for a long time, every year here counting the falling leaves, thinking about the bits and pieces with Ji Cheng, my heart is always not a taste.

In this place, the snow is covered with snow, and the sun pours out of the cold air, and a cold wind passes through the window as if painting its chill on the jade screen. How can the heart be warm? The carbon basin brought by Tao Yi has no effect. Ruan Xiyao gently rubbed her slender jade hands, and her delicate figure was blown by the wind and shook unconsciously. Tao Yi hurriedly closed the window.

"Miss, you have to take care of your body, so that you can wait until the young master comes home to reunite with you. ”

"I haven't been out of this courtyard since he left, there are so many memories of us here, I'm afraid I'm leaving, even the memories are gone. ”
