The third day of Qin Ku and Duan Tianhong's departure, the eighth day of the first month of November, coincided with the winter solstice.

In the early morning, snow fell from the sky, goose feathers flew, and a layer of silver was draped in a layer of silver for the quiet and peaceful Luoyang City.

In the Xianwang Mansion, most of the disciples had just gotten up, yawning one by one, stretching their waists and walking out of the door, seeing that the room was white, they couldn't help but feel refreshed and comfortable.

Suddenly, a red shadow ran out of the inner courtyard, like a lively and happy spirit fox, shuttling between the blue sky and white snow, green bricks and blue tiles. Everywhere he passed, he attracted an envious gaze.

Bright eyes and bright teeth, skin is better than snow, wearing a red dress, delicate and graceful.

Today's Luo Ningyu seemed to be in a good mood, jumping through the house and across the courtyard, taking the initiative to greet the disciples, and bursts of laughter like silver bells were heard from time to time.

In the east courtyard, Xu Heng was leading people to clean up the snow, and when he saw Luo Ningyu, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Lord Luomen, why did you come so early today?"

"Looking for clothes?" Luo Ningyu stood on her tiptoes and looked around curiously, as if she was looking for Liu Xunyi's figure in the crowd. At such an hour on weekdays, he would practice in the courtyard.

"Today's winter solstice, Su Zhifan and the Lord of the Forest Gate sent a few jars of wine. At this moment, Hei Zhifan and Ling Qing were chatting with them in the East Hall. ”

"Got it. ”

With a promise, Luo Ningyu no longer paid attention to Xu Heng, who wanted to speak and stopped, and ran towards the East Hall with great interest.

In the east hall, Liu Xunyi, Su Tang and Lin Fang talked and laughed, and they were talking happily.

Ling Qing opened a jar of fine wine, poured a bowl and handed it to Liu Xunyi.

With a slight sigh, Liu Xunyi's eyes were full of surprise, and he exclaimed, "It's such a clear wine, I don't know where I bought it?"

"Liu Zhifan doesn't know, no matter how much money you spend on this wine, you can't buy it from outside. Su Tang pretended to smile mysteriously, "Wine is given to people who are destined, I see that Liu Zhifan is also a person who loves wine, so I can't bear to cut my love and give you a few jars to taste." ”

"Actually, we make our own wine. Lin Fangda explained, "Every year on the winter solstice, a new batch will be brewed, and a batch will also be taken out to satisfy hunger." Xunyi, the jars of wine you drink now are at least ten years ago. ”

"Hiss!" Liu Xunyi was surprised, and hurriedly bowed to Su Tang and Lin Fangda, "Such a generous gift, I'm afraid I can't afford it." ”

"It's better to be alone than to be happy, of course good wine should be drunk together, we have just experienced a storm, fortunately, there is no danger, naturally it is worth celebrating. Su Tang joked, "But there are only a few altars, whether you have enough to drink or not, don't even think of asking us for it again." ”

"Of course, the next three disciples can spend money to buy it. Lin Fang laughed and said, "One tael of silver for one tael of wine." ”

"A wine or two?" Ling Qing pouted, "I'm afraid it's not enough to moisten my throat." ”

"Haha......"

After that, the four of them looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere in the east hall became more and more relaxed like goose feathers and heavy snow outside.

"Xunyi, I heard that someone brought you fine wine? Miss Ben would like to taste it!"

A pleasant laugh suddenly sounded from outside the hall. Immediately afterwards, Luo Ningyu, who was full of spring breeze, ran into the hall and went straight to Liu Xunyi.

As soon as they saw Luo Ningyu, Su Tang, Lin Fangda, and Ling Qing hurriedly got up to give a salute, but Luo Ningyu's eyes seemed to be the only one with Liu Xunyi, ignoring the greetings of others, and picked up the wine bowl that Liu Xunyi had just drunk, and poured it without hesitation.

The wine entered the mouthpiece, spicy and exciting, which made Luo Ningyu, who was caught off guard, cough violently, and couldn't wait to cough up all the tears.

Seeing this, Liu Xunyi hurriedly patted his back with his hand, Luo Ningyu grabbed Liu Xunyi's arm, coughed nonstop, and almost snuggled his delicate body into Liu Xunyi's arms.

Luo Ningyu's movements were cordial and natural, without a trace of hesitation and defense, as if she had completely abandoned the woman's reserve and shyness in front of Liu Xunyi. Like...... Husband and wife who know each other well.

This scene was seen by Lin Fangda, and there was an indescribable pain in his heart again.

At this moment, how much he hoped that the man who was fully trusted by Luo Ningyu was not Liu Xunyi, but himself.

"This wine...... It doesn't taste good at all. Luo Ningyu complained.

"It's you who drank too hard. Liu Xunyi said with a smile, "You should taste it slowly to appreciate the sweetness and mellowness." ”

"Really?"

"If you like ......," Lin Fang mustered up his courage and said intermittently, "I can carry a few jars to you." ”

Hearing this, Luo Ningyu took her eyes off Liu Xunyi and said casually, "Thank you." But I'm not interested in wine, and it's a waste to give it to me. ”

Luo Ningyu was telling the truth, she was really not interested in wine, what really interested her was the people who drank it.

If it weren't for frolicking with Liu Xunyi, she wouldn't even look at these wines more, let alone take a big gulp?

Seeing Lin Fangda's embarrassed face and in a dilemma, Liu Xunyi coughed lightly, took a step back without a trace, and asked Luo Ningyu, "What are you ......?"

"That's right!" Luo Ningyu suddenly realized, and said busily, "Today is the winter solstice, my mother personally wrapped the 'slot', and made a special trip for me to invite you to celebrate the festival with us at noon." ”

"Madame invited me?" Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, incredulous, "Won't it?"

"What is this called?" Luo Ningyu looked displeased, "Mother is a good intention, you don't know how to lift." ”

"How dare you?" Liu Xunyi's heart was full of thoughts, and he pretended to be calm on the surface, "Thank you for your kindness for me, I will definitely go at noon." ”

"Noon?" Luo Ningyu glared.

"This ......"

"Now, of course!"

After saying that, Luo Ningyu showed an apologetic smile towards Su Tang and Lin Fangda, and then pulled Liu Xunyi and walked out.

"Su Zhifan, big brother, I ......"

"Since it is invited by Mrs., Liu Zhifan naturally cannot be delayed. Su Tang said empathetically, "Don't worry, these jars of wine will definitely be kept for you." ”

Su Tang and Ling Qing couldn't stop laughing, but Lin Fangda looked at Luo Ningyu and Liu Xunyi's arguing backs stupidly, with an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

"Ningyu, I'll go with you, you let me go first!"

"Don't let go!" Luo Ning said stubbornly, "What if you run away?"

"How can I escape?" Liu Xunyi said helplessly, "Besides, where can I run to? Quickly let go, you and I are pulling and pulling in front of the public, what kind of system will it be?"

"So what?" Luo Ningyu didn't care, "We will soon be a legitimate husband and wife, don't talk about pulling and pulling, even if I kiss me, what can I do?"

"Ningyu, you ......"

"Who dares to look at me, who dares to laugh?" Luo Ningyu looked around "viciously" and threatened, "If you dare to look, you will gouge out your eyes, and if you dare to laugh, you will cut out your tongue." ”

Just this word made the faces of the disciples who were doing good things around them change one after another, and they hurriedly retracted their eyes, pretending to be okay one by one, and "wandering" around Liu Xunyi and Luo Ningyu like walking corpses.

In this regard, Liu Xunyi was angry and laughed, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

After a while, the two came to the back hall.

At this moment, the people had prepared water, noodles, stuffing and other applications, and Ling Xiaoxiao sat quietly at the table, meticulously wrapping the 'slots'.

I don't know why? Liu Xunyi looked at Ling Xiaoxiao's appearance today, and always felt that she was not as energetic as before, but a little haggard, as if she relied on makeup to blind the eyes of outsiders.

"You're here. ”

Hearing Luo Ningyu's voice, Ling Xiaoxiao said without looking back, "Sit down for a while, and then let them prepare the copper furnace later, and then they can get out of the pot." ”

After speaking, Ling Xiaoxiao's gaze glanced at Liu Xunyi, who was restrained, and said softly, "Xunyi, are you hungry?"

Liu Xunyi had never been treated so gently by Ling Xiaoxiao, and when she saw her attitude change, she couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly said, "I just drank rice porridge, and now I'm not ......hungry at all."

"Ahem!"

Luo Ningyu coughed lightly twice and reminded Liu Xunyi not to talk nonsense.

Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't realize that he had lost his words, but he didn't dare to speak rashly, so he muttered to himself, "I did drink rice porridge, yes......"

"Mother, we're here to help you!"

Luo Ningyu gave Liu Xunyi a big roll of the eyes, and then sat beside Ling Xiaoxiao coquettishly, wanting to help her work together.

"You guys go down first!" Ling Xiaoxiao instructed her subordinates, "You don't need your help here. ”

"Yes. Commanding in unison, three or five servant girls respectfully exited the back hall.

Liu Xunyi swept his eyes, and suddenly his eyes changed, and he secretly said in his heart, "Why are these handmaidens so angry......?" Not Madame's former handmaiden. ”

"Looking for clothes, you can also help. Luo Ningyu couldn't help but feel annoyed when she saw Liu Xunyi sitting there like a piece of wood, and reminded in an unkind tone, "Look at your clumsy appearance, you can only meet each other." ”

"Oh. ”

Liu Xunyi was absent-minded, subconsciously agreed, and poured a bowl of water on the table into the basin. Suddenly, the flour turned into a thin pulp.

"Oops!" Luo Ningyu was angry and annoyed, and complained, "Liu Xunyi, did you ...... on purpose?"

"Yu'er!" Ling Xiaoxiao interrupted, "Xunyi is a man, where has he ever done this kind of work?" you don't blame him, just go to the kitchen and get some flour." ”

"Got it, mother. Ling Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, and Luo Ningyu naturally didn't dare to contradict it.

In fact, Luo Ningyu was not really angry, she was worried that Ling Xiaoxiao would be angry, so she was dissatisfied with Liu Xunyi, so she took the initiative and seemed to blame Liu Xunyi, but in fact she helped Liu Xunyi out of the siege.

"Go ahead, get the noodles and bring them again, save the trouble." ”

Under Ling Xiaoxiao's urging, Luo Ningyu glanced at Liu Xunyi, and then left the back hall with a mutter.

In the blink of an eye, only Ling Xiaoxiao and Liu Xunyi were left in the back hall.

Ling Xiaoxiao moves skillfully and wraps the "slot" unhurriedly. Liu Xunyi sat aside with embarrassment, looking at Ling Xiaoxiao in a daze, and placed the beautiful "slots" neatly on the case.

For a long time, neither of the two spoke, and in the quiet back hall, the atmosphere gradually became a little weird.

"Ahem...... Liu Xunyi couldn't hold back the apprehension in his heart, and complimented, "Madame's bag is so good-looking......"

"It's useless to look good on the outside, the important thing is that the filling inside is delicious. Ling Xiaoxiao put a "slot" on the case, slowly raised her head, stared straight at Liu Xunyi, and said with a smile, "But if you don't taste it yourself, you will never know if it is a reality or a reality." ”

"That's what Madame said. Hehe......"

"That's true of slots, and so are people. Ling Xiaoxiao smiled deeply, "Looking for clothes, what do you say?"

"I ......" Liu Xunyi didn't understand Ling Xiaoxiao's thoughts, so he didn't dare to express his position easily, and prevaricated, "I think Madam is right." ”

"Qin Ku said, you have clear grievances and like to 'heart for heart'. Ling Xiaoxiao's words changed sharply, and then said, "Now that Qin Ku is gone, I don't know who to ask about your current situation, so I simply called you here and asked you in person." Incidentally...... Heart-to-heart with you, I hope you don't disappoint me. ”
