Section VIII

The morning in the mountains comes with the crowing of roosters. Yimei got up and washed, put on a leather jacket and went out, and suddenly saw the sky fluttering, snowfalling, the distant mountains became a white expanse, only the plum trees planted by the village people bloomed brilliantly and picturesquely.

This year's plum blossoms are blooming so well, my birthday is approaching, I must celebrate this birthday, and I will cook a few dishes for Cheng Jun's brother and uncle. Thinking like this, Yimei ran to the house where Uncle Liu was staying, urging him to get up quickly and hurry home.

Cheng Jun was very happy when he heard Yi Mei take the initiative to celebrate her birthday, you must know that in the past two years, because her mother died on this day, she didn't even let people mention the word birthday. Yi Mei sat at the dresser and made rouge cream, he ignored the pain of the wound and the weakness of his body, leaned against the head of the bed and asked, "What birthday gift do you want, I will buy it for you?" ”

"Then I have to explain it to you. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I've already asked Uncle Liu to do it. Yimei finally put down the things in her hand and came to the edge of the bed to sit down and coquettishly, "You can play with me for a day that day, so you must take care of your body!"

Cheng Jun stretched out his hand and beckoned her to lean down on his chest and stroked her long hair, his tone was light, "Then I don't have to do anything?" Yimei raised her head and said mischievously: "Yes! Don't you like to draw, I danced to show you that day, can you draw my dancing posture?"

"Good. Cheng Jun replied quickly, as long as Yimei said it all these years, he would only say good.

The day soon came to Yimei's birthday, and Yimei got up early in the morning to pick plum blossoms like three years ago. But this time, she doesn't plan to make rouge anymore, but is going to use plum blossoms to make pastries, both Cheng Jun and Shen Zishan have liked the pastries she makes over the years. Although Cheng Jun's health has improved a lot, Yi Mei still disagrees with him walking to the snow, so he can only watch Yi Mei from the porch. Yimei's thin body shuttled under the plum tree, and the white snowflakes landed on her jet-black green silk and pink coat, which was as beautiful as a fairy, which also fascinated Cheng Jun. In a trance, Cheng Jun felt that time had not gone away, he was still the healthy and strong Cheng Jun, and Yi Mei was still the carefree little girl. He and Yimei frolicked under the plum tree, and Yimei's silver bell-like laughter spread in the snowy sky.

Cheng Jun was thinking about it, and Uncle Liu, who was fascinated by the purchase, came back and walked to Yimei, whispered a few words, and carried the things he bought to the kitchen with Yimei picking plum petals.

After seeing Uncle Liu leave, Yi Mei returned to the corridor and tightened the leather jacket for Cheng Jun and said, "You go back to sleep first, I will go to the kitchen and wake up to eat." ”

Cheng Jun is as well-behaved as a three-year-old child.

The Prime Minister's Mansion has not been so lively for a long time. In addition to setting up a table of meals with Shen Zishan and Cheng Jun, Yimei also asked Uncle Liu to prepare people's wine and food, so that they could eat and drink to their heart's content. Shen Zishan had no objection to this, because he saw that Yimei was dressed more delicate than usual today, and he saw Yimei looking at him with affection.

During the banquet, Yimei frequently toasted Shen Zishan and thanked him for taking care of himself like a biological father, for his love for herself, and for his earnest teaching. Shen Zishan was very happy, cup after cup, almost no one refused, but his eyes kept turning around on Yimei restlessly. Yimei not only toasted herself, but also pulled Cheng Jun, Cheng Jun was already not strong enough to drink, but it was rare to start today, so he also poured a full glass of wine, raised it to his father and said, "I will honor you with Yimei in the future." After saying that, he raised his neck and drank it all.

When Shen Zishan heard his words, his face immediately fell, he was very unhappy, but he didn't have a good seizure, so he had to take a small sip of the wine in the cup.

Yimei saw that everyone was almost drunk, so she ordered Uncle Liu to wait for the master, and she helped Cheng Jun back to the room.

After returning to the room, Yimei asked Cheng Jun to sit down, washed his face with hot water, and let him drink two sips of honey to relieve his hangover. Cheng Jun sat for a while, and became much more energetic, looking at Yimei, who was like a peach blossom, and said, "You are so beautiful, give me a dance." ”

"Don't dance," Yimei squirmed, "unless you can draw my dance." ”

"Okay!" Sung Jun shook his head helplessly, but smiled with satisfaction in agreement.

Yi Mei set up the painting tools for Cheng Jun, and lit a big red candle at the head of the bed and the end of the bed near the curtain, and then deliberately smiled charmingly at the gap in the hidden door before starting to dance. Yimei danced the "Neon Dress Dance" created by Tang Minghuang and Yang Guifei back then, she gently shook her water sleeves, floated across Cheng Jun's face, and twisted her slender waist, revealing a graceful posture. Cheng Jun was fascinated by it, but Yi Mei jumped far and moved towards the door, she showed her white skin towards the gap in the door, and she was not stingy with her seductive eyes. For she knew that there were eyes outside the door that were staring at her, and those eyes were dissatisfied with lust and greed. She decided to satisfy him and even wanted to seduce the man to get more.

Everything was as expected, it didn't take long for Shen Zishan to break down the door, and regardless of the fact that there was still his son in the room, Cheng Jun pounced on Yimei with open arms.

Yimei was so frightened by this sudden that she screamed and walked behind Cheng Jun, but inadvertently knocked down the burning red candle. The candle leaned against the curtain and was quickly lit, and soon a fire was blazing. Yimei screamed in fear as she retreated, while Jungjun tried his best to stop Shen Zishan. Even if Cheng Jun is young, how can he be Shen Zishan's opponent, and tonight's Shen Zishan blushed as if he had taken some kind of medicine, and wanted to lean on Mei. Soon, Cheng Jun was pushed to the ground by Shen Zishan, and when Yi Mei was about to retreat to the door, Shen Zishan also followed, seeing that his hand was about to grab Yi Mei's feet, and Cheng Jun happened to be lying on the ground and hugging him.

Cheng Jun blushed and shouted to Yimei with all his strength: "Run!"

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and Yimei was so frightened that she stayed still at this time. Shen Zishan dragged Cheng Jun closer to Yimei little by little, and the fire had already burned Cheng Jun. Uncle Liu rushed to see all this, quickly stuffed a piece of paper into Yimei's hand, then opened the door, pushed her out, closed the door, and blocked the door.

The people were very drunk, so no one got up to put out the fire, Yimei stood alone in the snow, watching the fire slowly rise to the sky, and gradually weaken, and finally the prime minister's mansion turned into a pile of ashes.

At dawn, Yimei knelt down in the direction of burying her father, kowtowed three times, and said loudly, "My daughter has avenged you!" After standing up and wiping away her tears, Yimei opened the paper in her hand.

It was a notice for the palace to select the female history of the "Imperial Tea Bureau".
