1. First snow

At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the new snow fell, and the sky and the earth were white.

A few red plums slanted across the branches, making them even more colorful against the snow.

Amid the sound of horses' hooves, several extremely energetic horses carried their masters past under the plum trees. During this period, a hand suddenly reached out, plucked a red plum from the branch, and wanted to insert it directly into the sideburns of a young girl beside him, but the other party instantly noticed it and looked back at him.

Under the gaze of the pair of sheared eyes that seemed to be smiling, the young man did not dare to make a mistake after all, but still held it in his hand and honestly presented it in front of the other party. At the same time complained:

"It's really boring, Ah Ruo, can't you occasionally collect your divine sense, pretend not to know, so let me succeed once." ”

took the plum blossom from his cousin and put it on the cloak, but Ji Ruo giggled:

"Brother Fourteen, you are too slow to move yourself, and I am not one of your confidantes, why should I follow you?"

For Ji Ruo's counterattack, the young man was full of helplessness, but he was full of doting smiles:

"The little girl is so rude and willful, she is sharp-toothed, be careful that she can't marry in the future!"

"Cut!"

The girl just suffers, and once the topic comes to this aspect, she can't talk about it. Ji Ruo gave him a big white look, urging the mount to run away, passing by a pond and deliberately splashing the other party's mud spots, making the young man cry and laugh.

The attendant who followed from afar hurriedly ran over, wanting to help wipe it, but the young man waved his hand, pinched a magic trick in his hand, and secretly recited the incantation, and the muddy water on his body quickly dried. Eventually, as soon as you dust off your sleeves, the dirt will turn into powder and fall down.

Although it can't be "unstained" like a real immortal, it also shows its extraordinary nature. With the young man's handsome face with red lips and white teeth, slanted eyebrows, and the rich appearance of a red white horse and a brocade coat and mink hat, no matter how you look at it, they are all first-class talents in the world.

At this time, there were several boys and girls of the same age nearby, seeing him so showy, but they all showed a smile on their faces:

"Cut, Brother Fourteen is playing his tricks again. ”

"It's easy to coax people, that is, Sister Aruo is from Kunlun, well-informed, don't eat him. If it were an ordinary girl, she would have been fascinated and trapped. ”

"Brother Fourteen already has so many faces, and he is always flirting, this time even his own sister can't help but provoke it...... There is really no cure for this amorous disease. ”

β€”β€”The group of people in front of him are all surnamed Ji, and in terms of identity, they should be headed by this "fourteenth brother", that is, Ji Mao, the fourteenth son of Emperor Jingyao of the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, the others are also nobles, and they are all the children of the current prince. That character, temper, is arrogant, not to mention.

According to the customs of the world, aunts and cousins can intermarry, while cousins with the same surname are regarded as no different from brothers and sisters. They are both peers and brothers and sisters, everyone is of the same age, and it is no problem to play together. But it is impossible to say that he flatters and flatters because of the other party's status as a prince.

Moreover, there are also differences within the children of the Ji clan - those who cultivate immortals and those who practice martial arts are completely two paths, and their future will be very different. For example, the most basic one: among the sons of Emperor Jingyao, if they want to compete for the throne in the future, they must be cultivators, and generally speaking, they must be at least in the middle stage to be qualified.

Because several treasures of the Great Zhou Dynasty, such as the heirloom seal, the sword of the Son of Heaven, and the dragon rank throne, all require a certain amount of mana to make Ruyi. The deeper the mana, the better it will naturally be exerted. However, cultivating immortals itself is a birth act, and if you are too obsessed with trivial matters between the red dust, you will not be able to go further on the road of cultivating immortals.

The two contradict each other, and in this world where there are immortals, gods, demons, and ghosts, the position of the emperor who rules over mortals is not so supreme. Therefore, those genius children of the Ji clan who are really expected to impact the Fa Yuan and gain a lifespan of three or four hundred years will not set their sights on the throne.

Generally, the emperors of the Ji clan in the past dynasties were at the level of the late stage of qi refining, and when they were determined to attack this position, most of them were only at the realm of about the middle stage.

The current group of young people are all immortal cultivators, and they are all regarded as the pride of heaven in the Ji clan. Although the identity of Ji Mao, the fourteenth son of the emperor, is noble, but the realm of cultivating immortals is only average, and it is difficult to get the awe of his younger brothers and sisters.

However, he has a good personality and has always taken good care of his brothers and sisters. This time, I invited my brothers and sisters, who are usually close, to come out to enjoy the snow, and everyone also gave face. And the joining of Ji Ruo of the Water Spirit Palace added a lot to this party - Ji Ruo's fourfold heavenly cultivation belongs to the tail of the crane on Kunlun Mountain, and it is the first among these peers, and the kings of the Ji family are very envious when they talk about her, and they are happy to see their children interact with her.

…………

A few people talked and laughed along the way, and soon arrived at the scheduled snow viewing spot - a row of large grass pavilions by the plum forest outside the city.

In addition to being suave and greedy for beauty, Ji Mao's talent and ability are still quite outstanding. Since it was an event organized by him, he had naturally arranged everything properly - there were already people in the grass pavilion who had set up curtains, seats, braziers and other facilities. Although it is cold and snowy outside, it is warm as spring inside, and even ordinary mortals will feel very comfortable here. What's more, these little guests all have mana in their bodies, and they are not afraid of cold and heat at all.

There are also delicious food and wine, pen, ink, paper and inkstone waiting, everyone appreciates the snow and plum blossoms, or chanting poems and paintings, or shooting and throwing pots, in short, they will never feel bored.

And a few young and curious sisters surrounded Ji Ruo, pestering her to tell her some anecdotes about Kunlun Mountain, and at the same time talking about the recent news in the capital city, and all kinds of gossip and rumors flew up.

"Have you heard? Sister Ah Wu of the Nine Emperor Uncle's family was quietly picked up a few days ago. I saw her in the hunting garden, and I covered my face, and I was embarrassed to see people. ”

"What's so embarrassing about this, isn't it just that the mountain worship failed. This kind of thing is already very difficult, Sister Ah Ruo has not entered the mountain gate in the past twenty years?"

"But Sister Aruo has succeeded, and everyone will inevitably feel that they also have great hope. The nineteenth brother last time, as well as Ah Wu this time, aren't they all self-confident Shanglong Shouyuan. ”

"And then it was all brushed off...... Kunlun Ken gave us a place for the Ji family, but it doesn't mean that they will lower their requirements. Jinqiao is really not so easy to walk. ”

"It's really unimaginable, how did Sister Aruo pass the test in the first place?"

Ji Ruo listened to them talking and talking about herself, and couldn't help but secretly roll her eyes in her heartβ€”it started again, and it was really endless......
