Chapter 6 Longyan Temple

When I got up early in the morning, Feng Yin couldn't wait to run out of the house and look at the sky, the sun hid behind the clouds and did not show its face, only a faint light from time to time, and it was not very bright. The snow in the yard was still there, except for the one on the road, which had not melted away, covering the branches and grass, like a thick white quilt, but it looked much warmer than in the weather with the north wind.

Feng Yin looked at the sky and then at the ground, and was quite satisfied with today's weather. Although it is not very sunny, but there is no heavy snow or hail, the road must be smooth, and it is not bad to go out in such weather, but it would be better if there was a little more sunshine.

Although the sun in winter is not much warmer, as long as there is a piece of orange shining on the body, even if the body is not warm, the heart is much warmer, which is much better than raising your eyes and seeing the gray sky. But nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, how can everything go according to your wishes, Feng Yin is not a greedy person, and after seeing the weather, he entered the house in a good mood.

The mother-in-law watched the wind at the dinner table and ate quietly, although she didn't smile or speak, she ate a lot more than yesterday, and she was not in a daze, which shows that she is still in a good mood.

It's just that the mother-in-law looked at the clothes on Feng Yin's body and was puzzled, so she asked in her heart, "The clothes yesterday were very good-looking, why didn't you change them today, don't you like them too?"

Feng Yin paused for the spoon that brought the porridge to his mouth, swallowed the food in his mouth, and slowly replied, "I want to change it before I go out." ”

The mother-in-law laughed when she heard this, it turned out that the child was afraid of getting dirty, and she was so precious that the clothes were like an ordinary child.

In fact, the second half of Fengyin's words were actually only spoken, and the first half that he didn't say was "I have to go to my father and mother to say goodbye to me in a while, and I don't have to wear that dress."

Say hello to your father and mother, once a month. It's not the first day of the new year, it's not the fifteenth, but on the morning of the second day when the general returns home at the end of the month, after the peace is finished, the family never has a reunion dinner together, let alone sharing the joy of family. Father and mother will not keep her for even a quarter of an hour, please be safe is just a formality, anyway, father and mother will do what the wind instructs, who cares if it is sincere or not.

In fact, Feng Yin knew in her heart that her mother didn't want to see her, and her father didn't want to see her more, so everyone just coped, so why bother to wear new clothes, they wouldn't take a second look anyway.

After breakfast, the mother-in-law cleaned everything up, carefully looked at the whole body of Guo Fengyin, and there was nothing wrong with it, before she smiled with satisfaction and said, "Let's go, the young lady and the general should also wait." After speaking, he took a small cloth bag, carefully carried it in his arms, and walked in front.

The mother-in-law walked in front to lead the way, and Feng Yin followed behind with the footsteps of the mother-in-law, bowing her head all the way without saying a word. After walking for a while, there were more and more people, watering flowers, clearing snow, cleaning up the courtyard, and doing everything, but when they saw the wind and groaning, they all hurriedly avoided it. Wind could even hear the faint cursing behind him, small but distinct. Feng Yin didn't realize it, but lowered his head more and more, trying to hide his eyes.

When she walked outside, Feng Yin's footsteps paused, and when she looked up, she saw that her mother and father were sitting upright in the main hall, her mother was expressionless, and her father looked serious, this was waiting for her. Although he didn't want to enter the door in his heart, he also knew that he couldn't escape from this invitation, so he lowered his head and took a deep breath silently, raised his steps and walked into the room.

After entering the house and taking a few steps forward, standing still about five steps away from his father and mother, Feng Yin raised his head and looked straight ahead, and said loudly, "Daughter, please say hello to father and mother." After that, he knelt on his knees and kowtowed, put his hands together in front of his head, touched his forehead to the ground, and counted five times in his heart before he straightened up and withdrew his hands, saying, "May my father and mother be in good health." ”

The general's voice was gentle, and he said, "Get up." ”

Feng Yin raised his head slightly, but he didn't look directly into his father's and mother's eyes, and only used the peripheral vision of his eyes to sneak a glance at his mother sitting in front of him.

Today's mother is wearing a light purple dress, Feng Yin vaguely glimpsed the clothes embroidered with gold and silver threads with a pair of peony on the pedicle, the head is obliquely inserted with a red agate embellished golden phoenix chirping and shaking, the tail is falling with a string of very fine golden tassels, with the mother's shaking collision out of a small string of "Ding Ding Lingling" like the pleasant sound of spring water, the ears are matched with broken ruby earrings, complementing each other, reflecting the mother's graceful and luxurious temperament.

Although the mother's belly was swollen, there was no trace of bloated elsewhere on her body, and her snow-white face was still so beautiful and noble. But at this time, the mother's noble face turned aside as if in disgust, and she didn't look at Feng Yin.

"After a while, your uncle will take you to Longyan Temple to offer incense, and buy whatever you like when you pass through the town. ”

Hearing the general's voice, Feng Yin hurriedly withdrew his spirit from his mother and replied in a very brief whisper, "Yes." ”

The general fixed his gaze on Feng Yin, looked up and down carefully, and asked, "How is your health lately, do you feel any discomfort?"

Feng Yin groaned slightly, as if he had thought about it carefully, and replied: "It's all good, there is no discomfort" After a pause, he added, "Mr. Ji's medicine is very good." ”

"That's good. After looking around, the general saw that she was no different from before, so he said with peace of mind: "Then you go back first, and then you can go to Longyan Temple with your uncle." ”

Feng Yin nodded slightly and whispered, "Yes." After saying that, he took two steps back slightly, and secretly glanced in the direction of his mother again, but his mother's eyes never moved towards her, and probably not either. Feng Yin smiled bitterly in his heart, turned and walked out of the house.

Not long after the curtain fell behind him, the voices of my mother and mother-in-law came out, and my mother complained softly like a coquettish: "He is too naughty, he is not honest in my stomach at all, and I have always been uncomfortable kicking in the past few days." Although he complained, his words were still full of pampering and love, "Nurse, you touch, he moved again." ”

The mother-in-law chuckled, and her words were full of love: "How can a boy be honest, and only when he is alive and healthy can he be healthy." ”

As he spoke, he took out the cloth bag that he had always carefully carried in his arms, and said with a smile, "I embroidered a few belly pockets for our little master, can you take a look?"

The mother saw the golden unicorn at a glance, held it up in front of her eyes with joy, and said, "Ah, it's so beautiful, nurse, your hands are still so skillful." As he spoke, he held it up to show the general, his bright smiling face was covered with a layer of sweet light, "Step-minister, do you see how well the nurse embroiders?"

The general's voice was full of smiles: "The unicorn is a smart beast, and the nurse embroiders it vividly, so it's just right for our children." ”

The mother snorted and said, "The nurse's embroidery is vivid, so do you think I embroider badly?"

Where did the general mean this, so he hurriedly coaxed: "You embroider the best mother's heart, where can others compare." The voice was warm with a hint of anxiety, but it was also soaked with tenderness, "Where would I think your things are bad." ”

The mother raised the corners of her mouth slightly, glanced at him and turned to the nurse again, "Nurse, you must teach me well, I also want to embroider a pair of tiger head shoes for my child by hand, I am afraid that the tiger will be embroidered into a cat ......"

The wind groaned farther and farther, and the voice behind him gradually became less and less real, and the laughter and laughter in that room belonged to them, and there had never been a place for themselves here.

The weather in the middle of winter is really cold, the cold wind is deep into the bones, and the cold is so cold that even the heart is so numb that I can't feel the pain.

Taking out the clothes from the cabinet and changing them, Feng Yin cheered up and showed a smile, today is a rare good day to go out, but you can't set off with a bad mood.

When he arrived at the back door, Li Ji was already waiting at the door, and he was slightly stunned when he saw the newly dressed person in front of him, and almost thought that he had seen a fairy coming out of the snow.

The wind in a light-colored brocade robe fluttered from afar, and the small and delicate face was buried in the white fur collar of the cloak, revealing only a pair of big round eyes, as bright as a pair of rubies in the night, as if the only light source in the night; At this moment, Li Ji could see other things besides these eyes.

Feng Yin didn't notice Li Ji's gaffe, walked to the door and nodded to him as a greeting, and when he didn't speak, he asked, "Is Uncle already waiting?"

Li Ji came back to his senses from a bright red color when he heard the voice, and hurriedly bowed his head respectfully and replied, "Yes, the master is already outside the door." ”

When Feng Yin heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he reached out to open the door. Li Ji hurriedly went to help, and his index finger accidentally touched Feng Yin's hand, and he was excited by the ice, which was as cold as ice.

Li Ji's heart skipped a beat, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, "Everyone says that this young lady is the reincarnation of a monster, this young lady is so beautiful, and her body is so cold, should it ...... It's a snow demon!"

Before Li Ji could come back to his senses, the wind in front of him ran out of the door.

The moment he opened the door, Feng Yin saw Uncle.

Still dressed in a silver-gray robe, wearing a black cloak, he was caressing the white horse beside him. The moment the wind opened the door, he turned his head with a warm smile on his face.

Feng Yin saw his small figure in those bright black eyes, and he looked at her, so warm, so loving.

Seeing that Feng Yin didn't move, he took a few steps forward and walked up to Feng Yin, took the pair of cold little hands and warmed them in his palms, and reproached softly: "My hands are exposed like this, and I don't know how cold I am." ”

Feng Yin's hand immediately clenched the warm big hands, and his heart, which was numb from the cold, revived little by little by the warmth of those hands, and a voice kept repeating in his head: "This is my uncle, my relatives, and mine."

Uncle just let her hold it, only smiling at her.

She was going to greet her parents in the morning, and Wen Yue's thoughts were clear to him, how could he give her a good face. How could he not know about the grievances she suffered in this family, so he tried his best to be good to her, so that she understood that there were still people who loved her and felt sorry for her, even if this person was not her father or mother.

After shaking it for a while, Feng Yin felt that his hands were warming up together, and then he let go of his uncle's hand and said happily: "It's not cold now, let's hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to catch Master Wuyan's lunch." ”

Uncle petted Feng Yin's hair dotingly, and said, "Master Wuyan knows that we are going, and the meal will definitely be kept for you." With that, he pushed Feng Yin and walked to a sedan chair next to him, "Come in, let's go." ”

Li Ji handed over a small stove at the right time after the wind entered the sedan chair, and carefully closed the sedan curtain.

The uncle rode a white horse in front, the sedan chair man carried the wind and followed behind, Li Ji walked beside the sedan chair and followed the wind yin, and the group set off.

There are not many people in Shawu Town who can ride a white horse and sit in a soft sedan chair, so most people on the street will automatically retreat and make way when they see Feng Yin and his party.

Feng Yin peeked out secretly from the gap in the arrogant curtain, and saw that the street was bustling and lively, and many gorgeously dressed young ladies walked forward in the company of the maid and the maid, and did not sit in a sedan chair on a cold day. Red lanterns were hung in front of the store, and they looked like they were celebrating the New Year.

Feng Yin looked puzzled, so he reached out and quietly pulled Li Ji's sleeve, Li Ji hurriedly asked, "What do you have to say?"

Feng Yin showed his face through the gap in the sedan curtain and asked, "Why are there so many people on the street today, and why are the shops hanging red lanterns, but is there any happy event in the town?"

Li Ji glanced at the young ladies dressed up on the left and right, bowed his head and replied, "Miss, yesterday was the first heavy snow in the lunar month." ”

Feng Yin was still puzzled, and wondered, "What's wrong with the snow?"

Li Ji was still full of doubts when he saw Feng Yin, and asked, "Miss, haven't you heard the story of the Snow Girl?"

Feng Yin shook his head, "Who is the Snow Maiden?"

I don't even know this, Miss really doesn't care about the world.

Li Ji said with a smile on his face: "How can a girl not know this, Miss, you are also older, and you have to ask for it." ”

When Feng Yin heard that it was related to himself, he couldn't help but be interested, and hurriedly asked, "What are you asking for, tell me quickly." ”

It was rare for Li Ji to see that Miss was so interested, and he was also happy in his heart, so he coughed lightly and cleared his throat and said, "Then I will tell Miss you the story of this snow girl in our Shawu Town a long time ago." ”
