"Little sister!" Tao Shunqin, who was wearing an ocher ermine robe and deerskin boots with a tired look on his face, opened the curtain and strode in. His features were slightly similar to Tao's.
, like many men of his age, has a long beard, but there is a bold and cheerful air in his movements that most scholars do not have.
Seeing her eldest brother, Mrs. Tao's eyes were red, but she held it back. She managed to squeeze out a smile, but as soon as she smiled, she was met with a series of coughs. The more she tried to hold it back, the harder it was, until she blushed and gasped.
Sister Lin Jinrong hurriedly handed water to her chest, and her eye circles turned red.
Tao Shunqin's expression suddenly changed. He clenched his teeth tightly and remained silent for a long time. When Mr. Tao stopped coughing, he burst into laughter and said, "I just met Shenzhi at the old man's place. I saw that he was sensible and polite, and I felt so happy in my heart."
I'm very happy. When I came in, I saw that the two girls have grown up."
Lin Jinrong and Lin Jinyin hurriedly shouted: "Uncle." The three uncles and nephews looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.
After a few words of greetings, Mrs. Tao began to drive people away: "I have something to say to your uncle. Ayin went to talk to Gong's mother and asked her to prepare his favorite chicken and fish soup; my daughter is going out.
I’m a guest, it’s late, so go quickly! Don’t wait for others to rush you!”
Lin Jinrong had no choice but to bring lychees and longans, join Lin Wu and others, and board the car to go to Lu's house despite the heavy snow.
Lin Wu and Lin Jinrong were sitting in the same car. When they got in the car, they hugged Lin Jinrong's arm affectionately to please the sweetheart: "Fourth sister, you can finally go out with us. I'm so happy. My second cousin invited me last time.
Angkor and his friends are visiting, and Angkor plays the xun. I think he is not as good at playing the xun as you, but Sixth Sister and Seventh Sister say that he is better than you. If there is a chance today, you will compete with Angkor.
High or low."
Lin Jinrong said absently: "I'm not as good at playing as Brother Wu." She was not being modest. Wu Xiang's reputation for talent was unfounded. She had never been as good at playing as Wu Xiang before. The two competed.
After several games, she has never won. Even after all these years, she still has no confidence that she can surpass Wu Xiang.
Lin Wu turned his head and looked at Lin Jinrong's porcelain-white skin and two slender eyebrows, and hesitated to speak - No, Lu Yan and Lu Lun insisted that Lin Jinrong played better than Wu Xiang. Lu Lun, she
I believe it is partiality, but Lu Yan must have his reasons behind his agreement. But she would not tell Lin Jinrong about it. She always felt that the farther Lin Jinrong was from Lu Yan, the better.
The carriage stopped and went, and finally stopped outside the second door of the Lu family. A woman held up a big green cloth umbrella outside and said with a smile: "It's snowing heavily and it's very cold. The girls tied up their cloaks carefully.
Underfoot!"
Lin Jinrong supported Li Zhi's hand to get out of the carriage, and looked up at the familiar yet unfamiliar Lu Family Courtyard in the heavy snowfall, her eyes filled with whiteness.
The Lu family, like the Lin family, was gradually expanded from the old house. Hundred-year-old trees can be seen everywhere, as delicate and meticulous, and as prosperous. She spent nearly six years here, and every plant, tree, and stone was preserved.
The walls are all memories. There used to be sweetness, and there was also sadness. But after the passage of time, those sweetness are more sad than the sadness.
Most people are like this. They like to recall success and joy, but don't like to recall failure and sadness. The same is true for her. This place has witnessed all her failures and embarrassments. She thinks that one day, she can face her past fearlessly.
Start now.
Mrs. Wen, the third young lady Lin who was leading the team, softly told the serving maids: "The weather is cold and the snow is heavy. It's better to serve the girls and don't catch cold."
The mother-in-law holding the umbrella for her said in a cheerful tone: "Third Young Madam, don't worry. Last night, my wife looked at the sky and said it was going to snow, so she specifically ordered the fire dragon in Tingxue Pavilion to be burned. It burned for a day and a night, and it was still very hot.
The girls feel cold at the moment, and when they get in, they may feel hot even if they are wearing big sweaters."
Another woman holding an umbrella for Lin Jinrong also smiled and said: "My wife really chose a good place to hold this fire party today. It's a good day. It's snowing, and the wintersweet outside Tingxue Pavilion is also blooming beautifully. It's really
fragrant."
"Oh." Lin Jinrong knew about the plum blossoms outside Tingxue Pavilion. There were not only wintersweets, but also red plums, which could bloom from early winter to late winter. The year she first got married, she and Lu Jian spent the night inside.
Listening to the snow, he swept the snow from the plum blossoms and buried it under the tree, leaving it for making tea. But the next year, the old man filled with snow water was forgotten.
Lin Wu suddenly looked at Lin Jinrong and smiled sweetly: "Fourth sister, it's really fragrant. Last time, Brother Lu took me to sweep the snow off the wintersweet. The snow was fragrant, and he said he would make tea for me to drink next year."
Lin Jinrong glanced at Lin Wu and smiled faintly. She might argue with others, but she would definitely not fight with this person. Not only that, today she would do something to make Lin Yuzhen and Lu Yun hate her.
Lin Wu felt that his little thoughts were somewhat invisible under Lin Jinrong's clear eyes, and he did not dare to look at Lin Jinrong again. But he heard Lin Qi behind him suddenly smile: "Oh, I think so too.
Drinking tea made from snow water swept from the plum blossoms... Fourth sister, you love tea so much, do you have such water somewhere?"
Lin Liudao: "Forget it, even if it is available at Fourth Sister's place, the taste will definitely be different from the one at my aunt's house."
Lin Qidao: "Then I have to go and tell my aunt that when I ask my second cousin to make tea for my fifth sister, he can take us with him."
Lin Liu covered his mouth and smiled: "This girl, even asking for a cup of tea cooked with snow water, is like asking for flowers. Are you really a girl from our Lin family? I'm so embarrassed. Don't say I know you!"
The twins were talking sarcastically and hilariously, but Lin Wu was furious and said with a stiff face: "It's so interesting for the sixth sister and the seventh sister to talk..."
Lin Liu and Lin Qi laughed at the same time and said in unison: "Isn't it interesting?"
Wen Shi frowned and said, "Be careful what you say and do!"
Several girls stopped talking angrily.
Not long after, a unique fragrance of wintersweet came to his nose, which meant that Tingxue Pavilion was about to arrive. Lin Jinrong took a deep breath, subconsciously straightened the gem tassel around his waist, and looked back.
But she saw a ball of snow roaring towards her and hitting the shoulder of the woman who was holding the umbrella for her. The woman said "Ouch" and turned her head to look, only to be hit by another ball of snow following closely behind.
Hit on the chest.
No one but Lu Lun would dare to act so recklessly in this courtyard. The woman shook the snow off her clothes and said loudly: "Fifth Young Master, don't play around, or you'll scare the guests!
" Before she finished speaking, another ball of snow flew towards her face. She was so shocked that she couldn't care about anything and quickly raised the umbrella in her hand to block the snow.
The snow was so loose that it hit the umbrella and splashed everywhere, falling on Lin Jinrong's neck. The cold made her shiver. Lychee and Guiyuan hurriedly stepped forward to clean the snow from Lin Jinrong's neck.
The woman hurriedly apologized: "This slave deserves to die!" Then she complained, "This fifth young master is really naughty!"
Lin Jinrong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter." It was the same back then. She still felt strange if Lu Lun's snowball never appeared again. She turned her eyes and found a man dressed in blue behind the holly tree not far away. She poked her head around.
Lu Lun wore two furry ear protectors on his ears. It could be seen that he was well prepared. There was a pile of snowballs piled up at his feet, waiting for them to come over and launch an attack.
Lu Lun winked at Lin Jinrong proudly, raised his hands, and another two balls of snow whizzed over, this time towards Lin Jinrong. In his previous life, Lin Jinrong's face was swollen by this stupid boy who didn't know the importance of it.
, causing her to be ridiculed, this time she was on guard and quickly grabbed the woman's umbrella to block her.
Lin Liu and Lin Qi burst into laughter, clapped their hands and said, "It's fun, it's so fun!" While laughing, they bent over to grab the snow from a nearby tree, squeezed it into snowballs, and threw them in the direction of the snowballs.
will pass.
Lin Wu's paws were also a little itchy, but he remembered to maintain his ladylike image in front of others, so he held it back and advised: "Let's not go crazy with him, be careful of others seeing the joke!"
Lin Liu and Lin Qi ignored her at all. Not only did they catch the snow themselves, but they also ordered the girl to help. Wen couldn't stop her at all and simply ignored her.
Balls of snow whizzed towards Lu Lun. Lu Lun resisted for a while, but was defeated. He threw the snow balls around like a madman and shouted: "You are fooling around because of the crowd! No!"
Ask the girl to help!"
"You can ask the boy to knead the snowballs for you!" Lin Qi took aim and hit Lu Lun on the forehead with a bang. He clapped his hands proudly and said, "Smelly black fat man, I asked you to scold me! I'm in trouble!"
I'm being punished!"
Lu Lun was actually a very generous person, and he was not angry at all. He just threw a ball of snow over and said loudly: "Lin Qi, stingy, I even forgot that you still remember."
"So you're causing trouble again? Have you forgotten what happened last time when you were punished to kneel? Look, I didn't tell my father!" Several young men suddenly emerged from behind the holly tree, it was Lu Mian, Wu Xiang, Lu Jing and others.
The person who spoke was Lu Jing. While he was speaking, one of his hands had already reached out to grab Lu Lun's ear.
"White fat man! Tell the dog!" Lu Lun dodged lightly, made a face at him, and greeted: "Sixth brother, let's go quickly!" Everyone saw a short, thin, pale, wrapped man standing behind the holly tree.
Like a little bear, a boy about eight or nine years old came with a smile on his face, glanced at the girls timidly, and ran away with Lu Lun.
Lin Jinrong could clearly see that the little boy was the only remaining male in the third room of the Lu family, Lu Yan's younger brother Lu Jin. This child had been frail and sick since he was a child, and he had to take a lot of medicine every year. He was very pampered, even though he was a biological brother.
, but never likes contact with Lu Mian, and only likes to be close to Lu Lun, who is like a demon king.
Lu Jing shouted: "Lao Wu, you taught your sixth brother to do bad things again! He is not in good health, but you let him play in the snow. If the third aunt knew..."
Lu Yan suddenly interrupted him and said: "The third brother is wrong. What does a naughty child mean by doing something bad? My cousins won't argue with him. The sixth brother is not in good health, so he should be more active." Then he went to the Lin family.
The female family members cupped their fists and saluted, "Mother is waiting for my cousin and sisters in Tingxue Pavilion. Please excuse me."
Everyone smiled and returned the gift and continued walking forward. The twins looked at Lin Wu, but seeing Lin Wu turning back frequently, they couldn't help but sneered. Lin Wu's face was slightly red, and he lowered his eyes and said nothing.
