It was not just Xuan Jinmo who was surprised. The slave kneeling on the ground was also startled. He looked at Tong Xiaoye blankly, thinking that there was something wrong with his ears.
According to common sense, after hard work and hard work, a snowman was built. A wealthy lady, the precious granddaughter of General Tong, a beautiful and delicate woman, built a beautiful snowman by herself in the yard, but she was about to be killed.
Her husband was roasted, which clearly showed that Xuan Jinmo was very unhappy. She did not make any noise or make any fuss, and even told the slave——
"Madam," the servant asked cautiously.
Tong Xiaoye frowned slightly, and seemed to say very seriously: "Yes, it is too troublesome to bake such a snowman. Otherwise, how about I destroy it directly?"
As he said this, he turned his head and looked at the slave kneeling on the ground. He said this clearly to Xuan Jinmo, but his eyes were fixed on the slave on the ground. The slave's forehead was sweating, and he knelt down, not daring to say a word.
Xuan Jinmo was so annoyed that he raised his hand and struck the snowman with a palm. In an instant, the snowman turned into pieces of snow and scattered. Xuan Jinmo didn't say much, turned around and left.
I could vaguely hear Tong Xiaoye muttering to himself: "Well, let me build a snowman that can transform. How about I see if you can turn into a slimmer snowman -"
His voice was calm and his tone was also calm, as if Xuan Jinmo didn't exist at all.
Xuan Jinmo's footsteps obviously stalled at the door, and then left.
"Get up, it's so cold on the ground." Tong Xiaoxiao said lightly, and then stared at the snow on the ground for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, and then continued to pile up the snow slowly. This time,
There seems to be some change in appearance.
The slave on the ground immediately got up and disappeared outside the door. He clutched his chest for a long time before he came back to his senses. This lady, who looked fragile, was extremely stubborn. When facing Xuan Jinmo, she was neither cold nor hot, not even cold.
angry.
I don’t know how many women I have seen let their masters sometimes take them to heaven and sometimes send them to hell.
Tong Xiaoye's calm face had two tears falling quietly, and she said to herself lightly: "This is very good. I can let myself face your bad and forget your good. One lifetime is enough, enough for me to forget you."
, forget any memories from the age of six to now, very good, very good!”
When it was time for dinner, Xuan Jinmo put down the paperwork in his hand, looked up at the sky outside, and said to the servant waiting on him: "Go and prepare dinner, please invite the lady and madam - I will go and invite the madam, you ask the waiter
The maid is waiting for the young lady to come out and prepare for dinner."
"Yes." The slave immediately responded and left respectfully.
While walking towards the courtyard where Tong Xiaoye lived, he wondered in his mind what Tong Xiaoye was doing. Throughout the afternoon, he ordered people to tell Junzi not to enter the courtyard even half a step. There was no one to serve him, no water, no food, and even charcoal.
Not enough to last the whole afternoon - of course, maybe she could still take something apart and split it for warmth.
I was very curious in my heart, how would she take the next step?
Although the sky was dark, the light was still pretty good because there was snow on the ground. Moreover, Tong Xiaoye seemed to have lit the lantern in the courtyard, making the entire courtyard extremely bright. Then, there was a newly piled snowman. It was very beautiful and carved into a human figure.
shape.
It has the shape of a cute child. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it can be seen that it has been carefully thought out. Tong Xiaoye, who is dressed in red, is carefully tapping the snowman's body with a ruler-shaped object, making the snowman's body more beautiful.
Make it firm, and then carefully scrape away the excess snow to make the snowman's shape more and more perfect.
"Have you been doing this all afternoon?" Xuan Jinmo's voice was a little cold.
Tong Xiaoye's body seemed to be slightly stiff, then she stood up, saluted, and said in a calm and gentle tone: "I have seen the prince, and my wife has been doing this for a long time, but this time I don't bother the prince to do it myself, just do it for my wife -
—”
Before Xuan Jinmo could react, Tong Xiaoye's hand had already fallen on the snow. While Xuan Jinmo's exclamation was still stuck in her throat, she had already used her inner strength to turn the snowman into snowflakes again!
Clapping her hands gently, Tong Xiaoye said calmly: "Is this okay?"
Xuan Jinmo swallowed the exclamation in his throat and looked at Tong Xiaoye in front of him. Her expression was calm. There was no anger or deliberate intention, only tranquility. It seemed that it was just a small thing, rather than something destroyed by her own hands in the blink of an eye.
She worked hard all afternoon.
The servant behind Xuan Jinmo almost fainted. He had already felt that the madam was stubborn enough at noon. Now, he thought, it would be better for him to hide away. The madam and the master are really a match for each other, it is incredible.
"Pack up and get ready to have dinner with Jin Yan." Xuan Jinmo said calmly, "Your slave will come over and take you over in a moment."
"Thank you." Tong Xiaoye said in a calm and gentle tone, and bowed slightly.
Xuan Jinmo turned around and left without looking back, but he knew that the moment he turned around, Tong Xiaoye lowered her eyelids and didn't look at him again, as if he didn't exist.
His heart ached inexplicably, and he couldn't explain why.
At the dinner table, Tong Xiaoye was the last one to show up. She changed her clothes and wore a red coat. Her face looked rosier. Her hair was still casually tied on the hairpin. The hair hanging on her shoulders was black and shiny, making her useful.
The touch of the hand.
The dinner was very sumptuous, but the diners were very silent.
Xuan Jinyan kept her head lowered, and the food in front of her was basically untouched. She was used to being accommodating. Even in the Tong family, when Tong Huaan was not around, Tong Ke and his wife treated them kindly, even though they were just outside the door.
The family is young, but there is no such terrible restriction as in the elder brother's house.
"Jinyan, why don't you eat?" Xuan Jinmo's gentle tone revealed a command, "Is it not to your taste or something else? I'll let the kitchen cook whatever you want to eat."
Xuan Jinyan was startled, immediately raised her head and looked at her brother, and reluctantly whispered: "I'm not hungry."
"You'd better eat something even if you're not hungry." Tong Xiaoye suddenly smiled and said softly, "Your brother is a serious person, especially what you say, he will really think that you are not hungry. So, even if you are hungry,
I can only stay hungry."
Xuan Jinyan felt angry and said reluctantly: "Why are you talking to me in this tone?"
Tong Xiaoye smiled and said politely: "What you said reminded me of one thing, which is how we call each other. You are my sister-in-law and I am your sister-in-law. This is a bit troublesome to discuss. How old are you and me?
If you are old, you can only accommodate yourself, why not let's call you by your first name, you can call me Xiaoye, and I will call you Jinyan, how about that?"
Xuan Jinyan looked at Tong Xiaoye, this girl who was several years younger than her——
