It is snowing in the sky, and snowflakes are flying in the air.
It has been snowing for three consecutive days, and there is a thick layer of snow on the ground. Jia Yun's mansion looks like it is wrapped in a white cotton jacket.
In the morning, under the service of Xiren and Zijuan, Jia Yun got up, washed and had breakfast.
Breakfast was eaten in the main room of the main courtyard, with Xiren and Zicuckoo sitting with her. There were also a few maids standing around, serving the maids roughly.
Nowadays, there are many people in Jia Yun's house, dozens of them, and there are also many maids and maids, some of whom were sent by Rongguo Mansion and some who were bought by the house.
In addition to Xiren and Zicuckoo, Jia Yun now has two young maids and four rough envoy maids by her side. The number of maids in Bu Wuniang's courtyard is also about the same.
Only Xiren and Zijuan could sit and eat with Jia Yun. Firstly, Jia Yun took the initiative to let them do so. Secondly, they were not only the first maids to follow Jia Yun, but they were already nominally members of Jia Yun's room.
.
Seeing the attacker, Zijuan and Jia Yun were sitting together to have breakfast, surrounded by several serving maids and rough-and-tumble maids, feeling more or less envious or jealous in their hearts.
All this envy and jealousy is directed at Xiren and Zicuckoo.
Because these little maids and rough maids all want to be in Jia Yun's room, and they all want to sit and have breakfast with Jia Yun.
Back then, when Jia Yun was still a young boy with no respectable status, she met Ping'er for the first time. At that time, Ping'er made a comment about Jia Yun:
"Although this Second Master Yun is young, he is very handsome. Coupled with the magical stories circulated about him in the house, he is very charming. Fortunately, he is from outside. If he lived in the house, I don't know how many maids would not want him.
The shameless person pretended to be charming in front of him."
This was still back then.
But now Jia Yundu is so noble and powerful. In addition, as an adult, he looks more and more heroic, and there is a saying that "a maid who doesn't want to be an aunt is not a good maid"...
As a result, today's Jia Yun is really very lethal to a group of maids, and is really easily liked by the maids.
Looking at the maids in Jia Yun's house, whether they are big maids like Xi Ren, Zi Juan, Qing Wen, Xiang Ling, or other small maids, there are almost no maids who don't have a good impression of Jia Yun, most of them.
They all still love him.
In order to win Jia Yun's favor, the maid went out of her way to make herself look charming in front of Jia Yun. This kind of thing happens frequently in Jia Yun's house nowadays.
Because of this kind of thing, Zijuan is also very depressed, and now she is becoming more and more cautious about this kind of thing.
It's not that both of them don't want other maids to become Jia Yun's housemates, it's just that they both feel that there must be a limit to this kind of thing, and it's not good to go too far.
What's more, both of them know that among Qingwen, Xiangling and Liu Wu'er, who are still staying with Bu Wuniang, it is inevitable that some of these three will become Jia Yun's roommates in the future.
Jia Yun had nothing to do today. After breakfast, she sat in the inner study to read and practice calligraphy.
Reading and practicing calligraphy have become his living habits in this life, just like practicing martial arts.
Although he has long passed the martial arts period, he has been persisting in reading and practicing calligraphy for several years, and has never slacked off in either of these two things.
"Ask Liu Nineteen"
Green ants' new fermented wine, small red clay stove.
It's snowing tonight, can you have a drink?
At this time, Jia Yun was writing the poem "Ask Liu Nineteenth" with a brush in her hand, and wrote it several times in succession.
We have newly brewed slightly green rice wine and heated up the small stove. It is getting late and the snow is getting thicker. Can we go to the humble house and have a drink together?
This is a poem by Bai Juyi, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty. The poem is not profound, the language is concise, and it is easy to understand. It describes the poet inviting friends to drink and talk on a snowy evening.
Jia Yun likes this little poem very much. Seeing the wind and snow today, she couldn't help but think of this poem when she was practicing calligraphy.
The main reason why Jia Yun likes this little poem is that he likes the beautiful scene described in this poem.
In fact, every winter when it snows, if Jia Yun has free time, she likes to go to the back garden of her house, accompany the fire, drink wine and enjoy the snow, with the service of pretty maids. This scene is really pleasing to the eye.
Even a martial artist and ruthless person like Jia Yun hopes that her life will not be all about iron horses and autumn wind, but sometimes there will be some romance like snow, moon, wind and flowers.
However, there are not many snowy days in winter, and Jia Yun happens to be free on such days, so there are even fewer such opportunities.
So after moving into this luxurious mansion for a few years, Jia Yun has only enjoyed drinking wine and admiring the snow in the back garden by the fire a few times.
At this moment, Jia Yun looked at "Ask Liu Nineteen" that she had written several times and felt unsatisfied, so she was ready to write it again.
At this moment, Xiren and Zijuan suddenly knocked on the door and walked into the inner study. As soon as Zijuan came in, she complained: "That girl next door, Li Feixue, looks like a fairy. She is also literate and proficient in medical skills.
But he is not ashamed!"
Jia Yun heard this and said with a smile: "You suddenly ran into my study and complained when you came up. You didn't tell me the reason. It made me confused."
Xiren explained: "The girl Li Feixue who recently moved into the house next door has just sent her maid to visit her house and written a floral note to the second master. She probably wants to invite the second master to her house as a guest.
"
With that said, Xiren handed a pair of floral notes in his hand to Jia Yun.
The Che, Seo and Ma Hutong where Jia Yun's mansion is located belongs to the residential area of the wealthy. The lowest-end houses in the alley are the two-entry houses, and the three-entry houses are mid-range here. There are two luxury mansions, except for Jia Yun.
There is a mansion, and there is another one.
Another luxurious mansion is next door to the east of Jia Yun's mansion. The layout of the two mansions is similar to Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion. Jia Yun's mansion is like Rongguo Mansion, and the mansion next door to the east is equivalent to Ningguo Mansion.
Jia Yun has lived in Che Seo Ma Hutong for several years, but has almost no contact with the mansion next door to the east.
This is of course abnormal. In this era, it is normal for neighbors to interact with each other.
The reason is that the owner of the mansion next door to the east is named Li Danbai, and this Li Danbai is a salt merchant from Yangzhou who lives in Yangzhou. His mansion in Shenjing City has only been looked after by a few servants for several years. Naturally, Jia Yun's mansion
I won't associate with these servants who look after the mansion.
Just recently, Li Danbai's daughter Li Feixue suddenly came to Shenjing City from Yangzhou and moved into this luxurious mansion.
After Li Feixue arrived, she took the initiative to visit Bu Wuniang and invited Bu Wuniang to be a guest at her house.
Bu Wuniang and the maids, wives, and mothers-in-law in Jia Yun's house were all amazed by this Li Feixue!
Because Li Feixue is so good-looking, she looks like a fairy, she is also literate, and what is even more valuable is that she is also proficient in medical skills, so she is really both talented and beautiful.
And just yesterday morning, Li Feixue, who knew that Jia Yun was sleeping, sent a maid with a floral note and wanted to invite Jia Yun to her house as a guest, but Jia Yun declined.
It's not that Jia Yun is worried about whether men and women are intimate, but because he had something to do yesterday.
Zijuan was depressed after learning about this incident. She originally had a good impression of Li Feixue and even praised Li Feixue in front of Jia Yun.
But Li Feixue, a girl, actually took the initiative to invite an engaged man like Jia Yun to her home. Zijuan thought that Li Feixue was a coquettish person and wanted to seduce her second master!
So now, when Li Feixue sent her maid again to bring a pair of flower notes to Jia Yun, Zijuan couldn't help but complain in front of Jia Yun.
Even Xiren, who has always been virtuous, could not help but feel a little depressed. However, she was indeed a virtuous person. Even though she felt a little depressed, she did not complain in front of Jia Yun because of this, and even handed the flower note to Jia Yun obediently.
Jia Yun took the flower note and opened it and read it. She saw that the flower note was written in a graceful and elegant font:
"Feixue would like to send you this: Because I heard about Mr. Jia's deeds, Feixue admired me very much, so yesterday I sent a flower note to invite you to visit me. I am very sorry that you declined."
"Today the white snow is still flying. As the saying goes, 'Green ants have newly brewed wine, and there is a small red clay stove. It is snowing in the evening, so I can drink a glass of nothing.' Feixue dared to look at her face, and then invited the adults to Feixue's humble house as a guest, either at noon or
In the evening, any time."
"I hope you will not be afraid that Fei Xue is a girl from the boudoir. If you condescend to Fei Xue and come, Fei Xue will prepare new wine and a stove to drink with you and enjoy the snow. Fei Xue is not talented, but he knows a little bit about the way of dancing. If you, sir
If you are elegant, Feixue is also willing to dance for you."
"I sincerely offer you this."
Well, this piece of paper is very simple and easy to understand. It roughly means:
Li Feixue heard about Jia Yun's deeds and admired Jia Yun very much. She invited Jia Yun to her house yesterday but was declined. She felt very sorry. If she shamelessly invites Jia Yun to her house for lunch or dinner today, she will prepare new wine.
She drank wine and enjoyed the snow with Huo Lu and Jia Yun. Moreover, she also had some dancing skills and was willing to dance for Jia Yun.
Jia Yun was silent after reading it.
I thought to myself: This Li Feixue has plans for me!
Although Li Feixue came from a family of merchants and was not the daughter of an official, her father Li Danbai was a Yangzhou salt merchant with a rich family fortune. Li Feixue's status was just like that of Xue Baochai.
It stands to reason that such a boudoir girl Li Feixue would not easily see her husband, let alone personally invite an engaged man like Jia Yun to her home. The invitation letter was written with such affection, even
Offering to dance for Jia Yun...
Before this, Jia Yun and Li Feixue had never met each other.
Then it became obvious that Li Feixue had plans for Jia Yun!
"Second Master, what does it say? Is Miss Li Feixue going to invite Second Master to her house again?"
Seeing that Jia Yun was silent, Zijuan couldn't wait to ask.
Jia Yun smiled lightly and handed the flower note to Zicuckoo: "You can see for yourselves."
Even though Zijuan is not very good at reading and literacy, she has made great progress under the long-term teaching of Lao Tongsheng. It is natural to see this kind of easy-to-understand flower paper.
of.
Immediately, Zicuckoo couldn't wait to take the flower note and read it, and even Xiren couldn't help but move over to follow it.
After reading it, Zijuan said depressedly: "Humph, how can this girl Li Feixue look like Hu Meizi!"
Even Xi Ren's face could not hide the look of depression.
Both of them also saw that Li Feixue had plans for Jia Yun.
Jia Yun asked: "Is the maid delivering flower notes waiting?"
Xiren said: "Well, wait outside the courtyard gate."
Jia Yun said: "Go and tell her that I will be there at noon today."
Zicuckoo couldn't help but said: "Second Master, are you really going?"
Jia Yun smiled: "The girl is so kind and she is a neighbor of our house, so I will go and meet her."
Zicuckoo wanted to say something else, but Xiren quickly glared at Zicuckoo, who stopped talking.
Xiren knew Zijuan well and knew that in this situation, if Zijuan was allowed to continue talking, he might say something disrespectful towards Jia Yun.
In Xiren's view, Jia Yun is not only a man, but also a very noble and powerful man. Even if she and Zijuan are already nominal members of the house, it is inconvenient for her to let Jia Yun go see Li Feixue.
Only Bu Wuniang or Xue Baochai, who will be here next year, are qualified to take charge of the matter.
Immediately, Xiren and Zijuan walked out of the inner study. Before leaving, Jia Yun asked Xiren to pour him a cup of hot tea.
Jia Yun was sitting at the desk, sipping hot tea and thinking about Li Feixue.
Although he has realized that this neighbor Li Feixue who suddenly appeared has intentions towards him, he is still willing to meet this strange woman with a very poetic name.
The daughter of a Yangzhou salt merchant, she was so good-looking that she looked like a fairy. She was literate, proficient in medical skills, and could dance. She even broke the rules and wrote flower notes twice in person to invite Jia Yun to her house to drink wine and enjoy the snow...
Jia Yun is really curious about such a strange woman!
What's more, the floral note sent by Li Feixue today happened to mention the poem "Ask Liu Nineteen", and Jia Yun happened to write this poem several times while practicing calligraphy today. In Jia Yun's opinion, this may be
It's also a kind of fate.
As for the fact that Li Feixue has plans for her, Jia Yun is not worried. With his current status and ability, how can he be afraid of meeting the daughter of a mere salt merchant?
In fact, which of the women around him has no intentions for him? Even Xiren and Zijuan wanted to be his wife, wasn't this also an attempt? Even Xue Baochai was willing to marry him because she wanted to marry him.
Following her intentions.
As a man, what he is afraid of is not that women have intentions for him, but that no woman has intentions for him, because this shows that you are a waste.
…
…
At noon that day, Jia Yun, wearing a smart suit, a cloak and a bamboo hat, came to the mansion next door to the east, escorted by Yu Zhu and three other soldiers.
The main entrance of the mansion was opened to welcome guests, which was a high-standard way of welcoming guests.
Under the guidance of the two maids, Jia Yun walked through the mansion and walked directly into the back garden.
Li Feixue was standing at the door of the back garden waiting for Jia Yun.
When Jia Yun saw Li Feixue, her eyes lit up and she felt amazed in her heart!
Before that, Jia Yun had seen many beauties in this world of Red Mansions, and he had always believed that the most beautiful among them was Qin Keqing.
But now that he has just met Li Feixue, he feels that this woman's appearance is comparable to Qin Keqing!
I saw this Li Feixue, dressed in white, which matched the snowflakes falling in the sky. She had a hosta in her black hair, her brows were like light smoke, her skin was like fat, and her temperament was elegant.
In Jia Yun's opinion, it feels similar to the little dragon girl in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
"What a Li Feixue, she is as beautiful as a fairy!"
