Finally, he asked Xiao Jingtong: "Are your hands still cold now?"
Xiao Jingtong never said such a thing at all, but after all, she was only four or five years old, and no matter how smart she was, she couldn't immediately figure out which song Xiao Ci was singing.
So she had no choice but to nod her head according to his wishes: "Cold."
"Then give it to Sister Tong." Although Song Qinghuan was cold-handed, it was not easy to snatch it from the same child.
Then he smiled at Wei Yutang and said, "My child is in poor health and can't be vague. I didn't feel cold even while walking."
Wei Yutang had carefully prepared it for Song Qinghuan, but now he had nothing to say, so he handed it to Taxue with a smile and said, "I see you quite like children."
This was not a good thing to say, and Song Qinghuan did not respond to him and just moved forward step by step.
Xiao Jingtong took the hand stove from Taxue, held it in his arms, thanked him sweetly, and turned around and asked Xiao Ci: "Dad, what do I need a hand stove for?"
Xiao Ci said without changing his expression: "Dad's neck is a little cold."
"oh..."
It is said that it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down. For Song Qinghuan, she felt that going up the mountain was also particularly difficult.
Although many dignitaries and dignitaries come to Lishan every year, and the mountain roads are well built, but since Song Qinghuan became the eldest lady of the Song family, she often travels either in horse-drawn carriages or soft sedans. She rarely walks so many miles, and she has no physical strength to keep up.
superior.
Before they even reached the halfway point of the mountain, their breath was already confused.
Song Qingyan wasn't much better either. She walked with her hands on her hips and stopped one step at a time. She was too embarrassed to take a break, so she and Song Qinghuan had to help her crawl slowly.
At the foot of the mountain, there were still drops of water dripping from the remaining snow and ice on the branches. Wei Yutang wanted to hold an umbrella for Song Qinghuan, but he was embarrassed to have so many people there, so he had to follow behind to protect him.
Seeing that Song Qinghuan was very tired this time, he quickly walked forward and said, "Why don't you take a rest?"
Just when Song Qinghuan was about to nod, Xiao Jingtong, who had gone far ahead, ran over with a few short steps and shouted: "Sister Qinghuan, sister Qingyan, come quickly, it's so beautiful here."
Xiao Jingtong is young, so he went out today wearing a riding suit. After running for a while, his deerskin short boots were stained with a lot of mud.
Song Qinghuan waved his hands repeatedly: "Wait for me to rest, I can't crawl anymore."
Xiao Jingtong chuckled, not taking her words seriously. He walked closer, pulled Song Qinghuan away, and said with a mature look: "What's the time to rest? Sister Qinghuan just doesn't walk much on weekdays.
I can't stand the mountain road like this."
Song Qinghuan...
Song Qinghuan was dragged forward, but Song Qingyan couldn't move at all. She leaned against a big stone and said: "I won't leave, I'm exhausted..."
When they went out, they packed lightly and simply. Song Qinghuan and Song Qingyan only brought a little maid, while Wei Yutang's servant went to the mountain to arrange things early in the morning.
Song Qingyan's master and servant were both women, and Wei Yutang couldn't leave them alone. He just frowned and watched Song Qinghuan leave, but his heart was in a state of confusion.
It's cold at this time of year, and the road to Lishan is not easy to walk, but the higher you go, the more you have to admit that the scenery on the mountain is pretty good.
Song Qinghuan was pulled upwards by Xiao Jingtong, and Xiao Ci was seen standing high in a valley with his hands behind his back. From a distance, he could see patches of ice hanging down the valley.
Those ice hangings bend the branches and form various shapes. Standing in this valley and looking down, you will see a crystal clear white.
Song Qinghuan walked for a long time and was as tired as a dog, but seeing such a scene, he felt it was worth it for a moment.
Xiao Jingtong pulled Song Qinghuan over, then ran away to pick up the broken ice on the ground, his little hands turned red from the cold, and threw it into Taxue's clothes.
I was bending down while walking in the snow, but the broken ice happened to get into my neck, making me shiver from the cold.
He said angrily: "Little princess..."
"Come on, come on, come and catch me." Xiao Jingtong, who had done something bad, was still giggling and making faces while running.
Texue and Xiao Jingtong started laughing and joking. Song Qinghuan glanced at the way back and saw that Wei Yutang and Song Qingyan hadn't caught up yet, so he followed Xiao Ci's example, clasping his hands behind his back and staring intently at the ice below the valley.
scene.
Said: "Which song did you sing?"
She didn't believe that everything happened by chance.
Xiao Ci curled his lips and smiled, without looking at her. He just said, "Is this Lishan yours? I'm bringing Sister Tong here for a walk. Do you have any objections?"
Song Qinghuan couldn't hold it back and turned around to glare at him: "You know what I mean."
Although she didn't see the fight between the two men, she still felt that something was wrong between them. She just couldn't think of anything that these two people, who were strangers to each other and had no grudges in the past and no grudges in the recent days, could not deal with.
After a pause, he then said, "Is it possible that the Wei family also made things difficult for you in the past?"
Xiao Ci turned to look at Song Qinghuan with disdain, and after a while he uttered: "Idiot."
After saying that, he turned around to look for Xiao Jingtong. Before leaving, he said, "I heard that during the days when I was in Liaodong, the third son of the Wei family and a cousin he raised in his family almost ruined your first-class residence?"
Song Qinghuan frowned, but before he could figure out what he meant, Xiao Ci said again: "Do you really hate getting married? Are you willing to marry such a person? Or are you saying that you are blind and can no longer see clearly?
"
"What do you mean?" Even if Song Qinghuan didn't understand what he meant, the curser did.
Immediately he said angrily: "Whether I hate getting married or not, it's none of your business whether I'm blind or not. You just eat carrots and don't worry."
Song Qinghuan was stomping his feet in anger, but Xiao Ci pulled Xiao Jingtong forward as if nothing had happened, not taking Song Qinghuan behind him seriously.
Texue didn't know what the two people said, but it could be seen that Song Qinghuan was in a bad mood and was too cautious not to say another word.
Song Qinghuan didn't know why, but he felt very angry. He stared at the ice hanging in the valley for a long time before he suppressed all his anger.
When Wei Yutang and Song Qingyan caught up, Song Qinghuan had returned to normal and was playing with a branch with ice in it as if nothing had happened.
Seeing the two approaching, he said, "I've seen the ice hangings in Lishan Mountain before. Now the mountain road is not easy to walk, so we might as well go back."
Song Qingyan glanced at Wei Yutang subconsciously and saw the disappointment on his face, so she also said: "Everyone has come up. If we don't go forward, we just go down like this. I feel that the whole journey has been in vain."
."
Although Wei Yutang wanted Song Qinghuan to continue going up the mountain, he thought that there was Xiao Ci standing in front of him, so he didn't force it at the moment. He just said: "I think the scenery on the mountain is not much different. If Qinghuan is tired, then let's go down the mountain."
After saying that, he turned to look at Song Qingyan and asked for her opinion.
