The weather was getting colder and colder. Shen Wan woke up this morning and found that it was snowing outside. It snowed earlier in the North. Compared with previous years, the snow fell late this year.
"Oh my God! It snows so hard in the North. It's so cold today." Hui'er carried a basin filled with hot water into the house. It also snows in the Imperial City, but this snow is worse than in the North. The snow was much lighter. She heard from Xiaojiang that the snow fell last night, but after just one night, there was a lot of snow in the yard. If you step on it, the snow will bury the soles of your feet. After she got up in the morning, she and Xiao Jiang swept all the snow in the yard.
The cold wind blew in, and the boy An, who was being held by his mother, shrank his neck in the cold.
Shen Wan put the boy on the bed, covered him with a quilt, got up and closed the door tightly.
"This northern land is not as cold as the Imperial City. You should wear more clothes." Shen Wan walked to the basin stand where Hui'er put the water basin.
Huier said: "I'm wearing a lot of clothes, and I'm even wearing a small jacket! Thanks to my wife for reminding us to bring more winter clothes." Otherwise, they would have been frozen. It's so cold in the north, but The Imperial City cannot be compared.
After Shen Wan dressed the boy and washed herself, she dressed the boy in a small coat and put on a cloak. The cloak was red with a deer embroidered on it, and there was a circle of rabbit fur on the brim of the hat. He Wearing a red turban and a hat, she sat obediently on the bed, so obedient and festive.
"I'm freezing to death." Qiu Ju carried the food box into the house and closed the door with her feet.
"Madam and young master have finished dressing up. Come and have breakfast quickly! Otherwise it will be cold." Qiu Ju placed the food box on the round table in the outer room and stood at the door leading to the inner room and said to Shen Wan.
"Okay," Shen Wan carried her son to the outer room.
Qiu Ju took the breakfast out of the food box. When Shen Wan saw that there was only a bowl of porridge and a bowl of milk, she asked her and Hui'er: "Have you all eaten?"
Huier said: "Eat it, it's too cold today, so we ate it directly in the kitchen."
After hearing this, Shen Wan stopped talking and started to have breakfast. Qiu Ju also started to feed him milk. After feeding him milk, she also made him half a bowl of rice cereal.
After breakfast, Shen Wan put on a red cloak and asked Huier to open the door. She wanted to see the snow.
"I can only watch for a while," Hui'er said very seriously. Madam is weak and cannot bear the cold.
Shen Wan nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, just watch for a while."
Hui'er opened the door, and Shen Wan hugged her little boy An, who was living a tight life, and walked to the corridor. Heavy snow fell like goose feathers. The original red tiles were all white, and the two trees in the courtyard had lost all their leaves. The sweet-scented osmanthus trees are also covered in snow. The snow scene is really beautiful, but it’s also really cold.
The little boy An, who was wrapped up tightly with only two bright little eyes exposed, looked at the changed yard and called out excitedly: "Mom~"
Hui'er said: "This must be the first time for the young master to see snow!" Although it was winter when he was born, he had never left the house before the full moon. Although he had gone out after the full moon, that was The snow has stopped a long time ago.
"Let's give the young master a snowman!" Qiu Ju suggested.
"Okay!" Huier responded to the proposal very positively.
So the two of them rolled snowballs and built snowmen in the yard, while Shen Wan held the boy in her arms and watched from the porch.
