As soon as the sound of treading on the snow subsided, Song Qinghuan stuck his head out and saw Xiao Ci sitting on a horse, following the Song family's carriage calmly.
Sitting in front of him was Xiao Jingtong, with two small hairdos and a thick cloak, his cheeks flushed by the cold wind.
Behind him was a BMW.
Song Qinghuan raised his eyebrows and turned his gaze to Xiao Ci. He smiled and didn't take it seriously. Instead, he lowered his head and said something to Xiao Jingtong.
Xiao Jingtong's eyes were bright, and he didn't know what he said. He pulled the reins, called out "drive", and took Xiao Ci to the side of Song Qinghuan's carriage in a few steps.
With a smile on his face, the little man shouted: "Sister Song."
Song Qinghuan's hand holding down the car curtain froze, and she shouted, "Where are you going?"
He turned his gaze to Xiao Ci again, with a hint of anger.
Xiao Ci pursed his lips and smiled, but did not speak.
Since Xiao Jingtong ran away from home last time because Xiao Ci wanted to marry a new princess, he had a meal at Yipinju, but he really remembered this eldest girl of the Song family.
Not only do I remember this person, I also remember the words this person said. When I saw her, I felt very close to her.
He immediately said, "I'm taking my dad to Lishan to see binghang. Sister Song, are you going to Lishan too?"
Song Qinghuan glared at Xiao Ci, but said: "It's so cold in Lishan, and you're still so young, it's not a joke if you get frozen."
Xiao Jingtong chuckled. She had no interest in going to Lishan to see ice hangings. She just wanted to get closer to Xiao Ci and draw her father into her camp, even if she married a new princess in the future.
Not afraid.
Wei Yutang heard the commotion in front and heard that it was from Prince Rui's Mansion. He couldn't pretend that he didn't know about it, so he just jumped off the carriage and walked to Xiao Ci, saluting politely and distantly.
When two soldiers met, one was sitting on horseback and the other was standing in front of the chariot shaft. Their eyes separated as soon as they touched each other. Wei Yutang was already defeated.
Xiao Ci responded casually, reached out and rubbed Xiao Jingtong's head and asked, "Are you going to ride in a carriage with the Song family girl, or ride a horse with your father?"
Xiao Jingtong was blown away by the cold wind so much that his ears almost fell off. He immediately nodded his head: "I'll go with Sister Song."
If Xiao Ci hadn't said he wanted to take her riding a horse, he wouldn't have been willing to suffer the cold wind.
At that moment, he was afraid that Xiao Ci would be unhappy, so he immediately said, "It's just right that my father can talk to this uncle."
The smile on Wei Yutang's face froze, and he turned to look at Song Qinghuan. He saw her smiling with her lips pursed, so he didn't care and just thought of pleasing her. He chuckled and said, "I'll ride a horse."
Xiao Jingtong got into Song Qinghuan's carriage, tilted his head and looked at Song Qingyan, who was sitting aside and said nothing, and asked, "Don't you ask me who I am?"
Song Qingyan was not good at getting along with strangers. She was tricked by a girl from the Yan family when the Zhang family held a flower party earlier this year, and she became even more uncomfortable getting along with strangers.
Seeing Xiao Jing's Tongtongzhen question, he couldn't help but smile and followed her intention and asked: "Then who are you?"
Xiao Jingtong raised his head and said in a very disgusting manner: "I am the little princess of Prince Rui's Mansion."
There was a lot of laughter and laughter inside the carriage, and the two men on horseback were walking in front, looking quite tense.
It is said that women's senses are very sensitive, but men are not willing to give in. At this moment, Wei Yutang was like a hedgehog with thorns all over his body, feeling that Xiao Ci was very threatening.
With his back straight, he held the reins and walked slowly ahead with Xiao Ci. After a while, he smiled and said, "Prince Rui is very interested. He will take the little princess to Lishan to see the ice hangings."
Xiao Ci didn't squint his eyes, and also chuckled: "Sister Tong is young and has a lot of fun. She is not as serious as Mr. Wei. At this time, she invited the Song family girl to go to Lishan together."
After finishing speaking, the two of them looked at each other, looked away again, and walked a few steps forward in unison. Wei Yutang then said again: "Looking at Prince Rui, it seems that he has known Qing Huan for a long time, but he didn't listen."
She mentioned it."
"I've only met her a few times, so why make a fuss." Xiao Ci said, "It's just my sister Tong who has a good relationship with her."
After a pause, she pursed her lips and smiled again, with a watery tenderness in the corners of her eyes and brows: "I think Sister Tong will treat her as my elder sister."
"hehe..."
The two men exchanged words with each other, and within a short time they had been fighting several rounds.
Wei Yutang had really never heard Song Qinghuan mention Xiao Ci, but just now it seemed that she was very familiar with Xiao Ci and his daughter, and they probably had quite a good relationship with each other.
Even though he couldn't win or lose in the quarrel with Xiao Ci, just by this alone, he was already at a disadvantage and felt sulky.
Lishan Mountain is high and steep. It snowed just yesterday. The road is not easy to walk. When we reach the bottom of the mountain, the carriage can no longer go up.
Song Qinghuan got off the carriage, holding her cloak tight with one hand and holding Xiao Jingtong with the other. She couldn't help but curl her lips when she looked at the fog on the mountain road.
It's such a cold day, and the road is not only muddy, but also full of fog. I really don't know what's so good about that ice hanging.
Xiao Jingtong thought the same way, and the two of them couldn't help but sigh in unison.
Xiao Ci flipped off the horse in one swift movement, followed Song Qinghuan's gaze to see the way up the mountain, and said with a smile: "I haven't climbed Lishan Mountain in many years. This mountain is not easy to walk in winter."
Then he looked at Wei Yutang: "The mountains over Lizhou are not yet comparable to Lishan. I think Mr. Wei is very talented and well-mannered. Why don't you bring a few more servants to follow you? It would be nice to have someone to look after you on the way."
Wei Yutang had a fake smile on his face and responded calmly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Although my Wei family is a scholar, everyone in the family is a versatile person in both civil and military affairs. This is no big deal on mountain roads."
He added: "On the contrary, Prince Rui, you should be more careful when you are pampered."
Both of them had smiles on their faces and their eyes met, but they had been fighting for several rounds.
Song Qingyan pulled Song Qinghuan's sleeve, motioning for her to look over, and then whispered: "There's something wrong with these two people."
Song Qinghuan followed his gaze and saw the two of them smiling before they could see the difference.
Xiao Ci called Xiao Jingtong over, raised his hand and put her on his neck, and said with a smile: "Let's go up the mountain."
Xiao Jingtong held Xiao Ci's head and showed no interest at all. He only said softly: "Father, please be careful."
Although it snowed yesterday, it stopped in the middle of the night, and the sun still rose today.
There is not much scenery visible at the bottom of the mountain, except for some residual snow and dead branches and leaves scattered all over the ground.
The further you go up, the wetter the road becomes, and you can see branches bent by snow or ice.
Wei Yutang found a hand warmer from somewhere and handed it to Song Qinghuan: "It's cold out here, please warm your hands with it."
Before Song Qinghuan, who was following Ta Xue, reached out to take it, Xiao Ci, who was walking in front, turned around with Xiao Jingtong and said: "There is a hand stove for this. Just now, Sister Tong said her hands were cold..."
