On a magical green mountain peak in the Far North Ice Field, a silver-haired girl slowly floated in the air, her hands were like dragging lotus flowers, and there were constantly magical air currents forming faint ripples, and her brows were tightly frowned, as if she had been knotted.

The laurel tree on the side could no longer remain calm, and was hit by the chaotic air current, and countless petals fell.

The proud peony could no longer maintain an elegant posture and was blown into a mess by the air current.

And in the midst of these incomparably chaotic air currents, there was a small white face with some pink inside, frowning tightly because of the pain.

The white fog that had remained calm for countless years in mid-air slowly fluctuated, and in the gradually fading mist, a beautiful face appeared, revealing a deep sense of antiquity in its beauty.

Every time the corners of the mouth are pulled, there is a little natural charm, which can be said to be a beautiful demon.

It's just that at this moment, the wind and snow are outside, and a big event is happening in this green world.

She hadn't shown her emotions for a long time, and a trace of worry slowly appeared on her face.

Because the child's breath is strong, but it is a little disordered, it is really risky to break the mirror so much, of course, she also knows what this child is for, so there is a trace of dislike on such a beautiful face, even if it is such an emotion, it is also charming and gorgeous when it appears on this face.

The chaotic qi engine finally caused an explosion, Tang Gui was blown to pieces, and countless osmanthus flowers flew into the wind and snow outside as the enchantment shattered.

A few peonies were torn to pieces by the air current, and fell down the mountain peak, in a mountain stream somewhere, and fell on the snow like blood.

And what about the girl on the mountain?

A white hand fell from the fog, and a cloud sleeve floated into the distance from the wrist, the cloud sleeve was really long, and the long one could not see the head.

The white hand eventually landed behind the girl and was attached to her back.

The turbulent air flow became quiet, the violent wind and snow returned to calm, and the barrier on the top of the mountain returned to stability.

The girl's snow-white brow slowly stretched.

"Master....."

"Don't speak, just enter the heavenly realm, the realm is unstable, stabilize the mind"

......

This is an unknown place in the far north, where a girl breaks the mirror and causes a storm.

On this day, it happened to be the beginning of winter, and the whole world began from the north and ended with the southern edict.

ushered in a heavy snowfall that has not been seen in a century.

.....

In most places in Nanzhao, Lidong is to eat winter round, which is a snow-white dim sum, the main ingredients are glutinous rice and bean paste, bean paste inside, sweet taste, glutinous rice wrapped outside, fragrant and strong.

Changqing hasn't eaten winter round for a long time, even if he used to practice swords in the Sword Mansion, the Jianghu Sect didn't pay too much attention to these, at that time, if Du Qingsong went home for a month break, then when he came back, he would definitely use the food box to bring some for Changqing.

Heavy snow covered the originally wide streets, and this heavy snow was very abnormal, because in previous years of Nanzhao, even before and after the New Year, there was not necessarily such heavy snow, and now it is only the beginning of winter, and there is such a wind and snow.

The owner of the shop that sells winter rounds is a young woman, I heard that her husband used to be a well-known swordsman in the rivers and lakes, and later went out to compete with others, was injured, branded the root of the disease, and died a few years ago.

Leaving orphans and widows, in order to make a living, the woman started a dim sum business, but I don't know if it was because her dim sum was very good, or because of the special water of the people, the business was not bad, and it was getting better and better.

Two bowls of winter balls, floating in the light green onion soup, Changqing looked at the woman who was busy in the store, and smiled slightly.

Yan Lingyu, who was sitting on the other side, rolled his eyes and said:

"I don't know if you men like such pretty widows. I used to be idle, and I read a lot of books, and there were many stories that the pretty widow and the handsome scholar had to tell. ”

Changqing shook his head, scooped up a winter round with a white porcelain spoon, put it in his mouth, felt the warmth of the winter round, melted in his mouth, and with the gentle bite of his teeth, the outer skin was broken, and the bean paste inside flowed out, and the taste instantly changed from rice fragrance to strong sweetness.

A bowl of winter rounds in winter can indeed give people a peculiar feeling, although the evergreen taste makes this feeling countless times lighter, after swallowing the winter round, he looked up at the front of him, seven points graceful, three points playful scholar girl, suddenly remembered the scholar girl he met on the road from Liangzhou to Hezhou, and smiled slightly:

"I thought you were hiding in the depths, and all you read were poems and songs, sages and sages. I don't think it's a forbidden book. ”

Yan Lingyu looked up at the busy women in the shop, because they were sitting outside the shop, very far away from the men inside who ate dim sum and teased the widow for real.

She stretched out her jade-like fingers and pointed inside, and her mouth was slightly nuisant:

"Why ban books, it's not too real, I don't believe you look inside. ”

Hearing this, Changqing raised his head and looked at the woman who was busy collecting money in the middle of winter, a young scholar who was still handsome and could see from his clothes that he had a solid family, and when he handed over the silver taels, a few fingers quietly crossed the woman's fingers.

Changqing smiled and said:

"You are right, this is indeed the way of the world. ”

But if this woman doesn't come out to open a shop, and doesn't take advantage of a few taels of meat for these regular customers, I'm afraid that her child will not be able to go to a private school at all, let alone have a chance to pass the Mengshi examination in the county town, and there will be no chance to further gain fame. Everything she does is for the sake of the child, and there is nothing wrong with it, even great. ”

Yan Lingyu nodded.

"Everyone understands, but among these men, there is really no one who is sincere, why not marry her back. ”

Changqing smiled and held up two fingers

"It's a bad moral, and there's a son. ”

Yan Lingyu sighed, suddenly lost interest in eating Dongyuan, took out a broken silver from his pocket, put it on the table, and looked up at Changqing, hinting that he could go.

Changqing ate the rest of the winter balls, drank the soup, and sighed as he got up:

"I really don't know, I took you away, or you lied to me, I am providing for you with food and clothing, originally we could eat better this meal, who made you insist on buying mink fur. ”

Yan Lingyu had a smile in his eyes:

"It's cold, who knew you were so poor. ”

Changqing sighed, and sighed again and again, it is difficult to raise only a woman in the world, after all, this woman has spent his savings in a few days.

The two got up to leave, and there happened to be a few Jianghu warriors dressed in thin short brown running through the street, thinking that they were Jianghu people who were light and famous, and saw Changqing and other diners who ate winter rounds looking over here, and the first one looked rough and said heroically:

"The five tigers of Chaisang County, Jiazhou, borrowed the way!"

The heroic voice and the good-looking light work of the five people provoked many diners to applaud.

As these people roared past, there was a sparse sound of shredded sounds from the rooftops of the houses on both sides of the street.

Many people walked out of the shop curiously and looked up, only to see many black shadows fluttering by:

"Supervise the temple to handle the case, and the idle people retreat. ”

Many of the diners at the dim sum shop were poured, but most of them honestly sat back in their chairs, bowed their heads and ate winter balls quietly, no one wanted to be unhappy with the Temple, these monsters hiding in the shadows were not something that everyone could afford to provoke.

Changqing hugged Yan Lingyu and muttered in her ear very affectionately:

"These people are really everywhere, I don't know how many Jianghu people in Nanzhao will be forced away. ”

Yan Lingyu tore away Changqing's paw on her shoulder with a jade hand and said with a smile:

"But that doesn't seem to be a reason for you to hug me."

Changqing shook his head, looking like a gentleman, and said solemnly:

"Speaking of which, I also didn't go to the government to leave my name in the register, in case I was targeted by those shadow guards just now, it would be a big trouble, so we pretended to be a couple and fooled the past. ”

Yan Lingyu asked again:

"So what does this have to do with me?"

Changqing stroked his forehead and nodded:

"That's a real problem. ”

.......

Soon after Changqing left, five young Jianghu people slowly approached the shop, and these five people were faintly surrounded by a pale-faced woman, the woman was wearing a red-green robe, carrying a bamboo basket on her back, and a total of six people sat in the position where Fang Changqing and Yan Lingyu were sitting at random.

The man at the head was dressed in white and carried a delicate long sword at his waist.

"Boss lady, six bowls of winter rounds"

The proprietress has been paying attention to this side since the six people sat down, after all, the Nanzhao rivers and lakes have not been peaceful recently, but this little brother in white is really handsome, and the key is a sense of indifference and gentleness.

She hurriedly counted the six servings of winter balls, put them in the pot and rolled them.

The strangest of the six, the most eccentric woman, held a bamboo basket in one hand and patted the wooden table with the other.

"Lidong Lidong eats winter round, eats winter round, good New Year, after the New Year, the members of the group, come to the underworld for reunion"

"Hahaha, come to the reunion"

.........

In the inner court of Nanzhao, several imperial chefs put the best Jiangdong glutinous rice noodles with cold water and formed a ball, and in the kung fu of waking up, cut the diced meat and prepare the special bean paste.

After a while, these winter balls will be made into two flavors, His Majesty loves to eat minced meat, and Niangniang loves to eat bean paste, which is a rule that the entire imperial dining room understands.

So this year they did the same as in previous years.

The tumbling winter round was finally picked up by the palm diet eunuch, two, one bean paste, one meat filling, and the young palm meal eunuch quickly put the two balls in his mouth and ate them after a little blow.

Several imperial chefs laughed:

"What is Xiao Hezi's father-in-law doing in such a hurry, be careful to burn his mouth. ”

The young eunuch known as Xiao Wako smiled shyly and said:

"Your Majesty and Niangniang are in a good mood today, Your Majesty has reviewed a few copies of the recital, this will also be hungry, I'm not in a hurry to send it, so I can't care so much, after all, it's all in the stomach anyway, it's okay to eat quickly, of course, I don't believe a few masters, but the rules are like this." ”

Several imperial chefs were busy saying how dare they dare, how dare they dare.

The little eunuch who has his own lining, serves a delicate food box, there is a compartment in the food box, which can be well insulated, and the two bowls of winter round are multiplied by the silver bowl and put into the food box.

Xiao Hezi hurriedly carried the food box, walked through the corridors of the palace, and came to the outside of the Eternal Life Palace of the Queen Mother, and the sharp-eyed palace maid hurriedly stepped forward.

"Xiao Kazuko, why did you delay for so long. ”

"Doesn't it take time to make it, and it takes time to taste it?"

"Your Majesty is hungry, see what you do. ”

The young palace maid said as she carried the food box and walked towards the Yongshou Palace.

Xiao Hezi scratched his head, stood outside the palace for a long time, and then slowly turned around and left, taking about three steps.

There was a muffled sound in the Yongshou Palace, this sound was very clear to Xiao Hezi, it was the sound of the royal silver bowl falling to the ground, and with this sound, Xiao Hezi's heart was raised to his throat.

Next, the voice of the palace maid Rouyu really scared away the soul of the little eunuch.

"Imperial Doctor, quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor......"

......

In a mansion in Anjing City, Liu Tanzhi, who was the official worshipper of Shangshu Province, stroked his goat whiskers, looked at a few winter rounds churning in the warm pot, and looked up at Zuo Zhongqian, the provincial waiter of Menxia Province who was shabu-shabu with chopsticks, and said with a smile:

"You old horseman, how do you know that I make a hot pot in the house. ”

Zuo Zhongqian's hair was slightly pale, because his belly was full of fat, his shabu-shabu hand was particularly short, and he laughed and said:

"Isn't this smelling the smell of Lord Liu's house, old boy, I followed the smell and came over"

Liu Tanzhi pointed at Zuo Zhongqian and said angrily:

"That's really not hungry for you, Lord Zuo, but isn't your Menxia Province too quiet lately? ”

Zuo Zhongqian shook his fat ears, and continued:

"Lao Liu, let's eat meat and taste winter rounds, no

Anything else, okay, besides, I still have a waiter on my head, and he has nothing to say, I'm going to interject something."

"Lao Zuo, I said why are you so stupid, how old are you that servant, in the future, he will return to his hometown, who will be the position of the servant, have you thought about it. ”

Zuo Zhongqian put the beef slices in his hand in his mouth and said with a slight smile:

"Our subordinate servant married a sixteen-year-old concubine last year, how can it be so easy to get old. ”

Liu Tanzhi looked at this old guy with a smile and said with a smile:

"Having said that, you must know that the fallen leaves will eventually return to their roots, and the old flowers will eventually wither, and then it will be a new spring atmosphere. ”

Zuo Zhongqian suddenly raised his head and looked at the old friend opposite him who had become a little blurry due to the mist of the hot pot with mung bean eyes.

"You mean. ”

Liu Tanzhi's face was solemn and said:

"Shhh ”

Zuo Zhongqian's face stiffened when he said this.

At this moment, with a quick knock on the door, the butler's voice came outside.

"Master, someone has come to the palace, saying that it is for the master and Lord Zuo to enter the palace quickly"

The two of them in the room looked at each other, except for the popping sound of Dongyuan churning in the hot pot and touching the metal stove wall.
