Before going to bed at night, Mother Han took out the new clothes that had been sewn in advance for everyone to wear tomorrow. The house has also been cleaned, and everything has been tidied up inside and out, just like the beginning of the coming year.
After dinner, everyone climbed into bed early and fell asleep in anticipation.
When I woke up, I realized that there had been a heavy snowfall last night. Thick white snow covered everything, and the world covered in silver was very exciting. As the saying goes, "Auspicious snow heralds a good year", and this snow is undoubtedly a good sign!
Qu Le put on her new clothes, washed up, and sat in front of the bronze mirror to comb her hair. She seemed to have lost some weight, her chin was pointed, her skin was very fair, and her eyes were big and black, like two beautiful obsidian stones.
The new dress that Mother Han made for her was made of fabric she chose herself. The quality was not very good and it felt a little rough in her hands. Fortunately, Mother Han’s craftsmanship was good and the clothes she made looked good.
A bright red gown with wide sleeves is draped outside, with a few small bright yellow flowers embroidered on the cuffs. The bright red color should be bright and enchanting when worn on her body, but it looks very calm and tranquil, like the sunset at sunset, although the fire is not very bright.
But it cannot be ignored. She is wearing a black narrow-sleeved short coat and a pure black long skirt underneath, which is very stain-resistant.
She doesn't make a bun, but uses a red hair tie to tie her hair into a ponytail, hanging casually on the back of her head.
When she walked out of the room, the three members of the Han family had already sat down at the table. Today, Mr. Han was wearing a dark scholar's coat, as quiet as a pine tree. Mother Han was still wearing simple and conservative clothes, a dark red long skirt with narrow sleeves.
The grown-up Amu is wearing a royal blue short suit, which looks quite refreshing and neat against his dark and healthy skin!
After drinking the red date tea, the snow just stopped. Mr. Han and Amu carried a few paper bags prepared in advance and went to visit their neighbors amidst the sound of firecrackers. Qu Le and Han's mother were left behind at home.
Prepare lunch and New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening.
Near noon, Mother Han suddenly remembered that a guest was coming today, and immediately ordered Qu Le to go out to greet him.
At this time, the snow began to fall again, and the falling snowflakes were like fairies, spinning and dancing in the air. Qu Le opened the oil paper umbrella and strode out of the main door. Before he had gone far, he slowed down.
On the distant horizon, a dot is approaching here, like a piece of duckweed floating at the end of the world, out of reach. Qu Le looked at the piece of "duckweed" and walked forward unhurriedly until
Two pieces of duckweed slowly intersect in the snow...
Snowflakes were flying all over the sky and quietly falling on her bright red skirt.
The man in front of him raised the corner of his mouth and stood quietly in the snow. His white clothes were floating in the sky, as if he was dyed the same color as the sky and the earth. His eyebrows were picturesque, and his skin was better than snow, so clean that it couldn't be covered. His shallow smile was transparent and warm, with a tinge of color.
The smell of sunshine melts the coldness brought by the ice and snow, and warms the deepest part of my heart.
Such a warm person actually has snow-white hair. The clear white hair is crystal clear and moist, tangled with snowflakes.
He nodded to Qu Le, reached out to take the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and walked side by side with her in the snow.
Although there was no exchange of words between the two of them, she couldn't help but follow his steps forward, as if she was confused by his smile. She suddenly couldn't find the way forward and had to rely on his footsteps.
This feeling of being out of control made her secretly frightened, and she immediately cursed herself for being a nymphomaniac! After calming down, she slightly raised the corners of her eyes, and inadvertently glanced at his face from the corner of her eye. Looking from the side, his nose
Slender and strong, with residual snowflakes hanging on the long eyelashes, but of those eyes, one is emerald and the other is sapphire blue!
As if aware of Qu Le's gaze, he suddenly turned his face sideways.
Their eyes met and they were speechless.
Qu Le laughed dryly, then lowered his head, stretched out his hand to flick away the snowflakes on his sleeves, and a light blush appeared on his cheeks.
Although she was embarrassed, she had to admit: he was the most handsome man she had ever seen besides Xiao Feng! Not only because of his appearance, but also because of his reassuring temperament, which was like the warmth of spring in March.
The wind blows into my heart inadvertently.
Compared to Xiao Feng's cold and handsome face, this man feels warmer and softer.
When the two returned home, Qu Le put away the oil-paper umbrella, called Han Mu from the kitchen, and ran to the side to make tea.
The tea was so hot that she was particularly careful when serving it. When she saw the man's thin and straight back, the impression of the pair of heterochromatic pupils still remained in her mind. She had never seen such eyes before.
Coupled with that snow-white hair, it is inevitable that I will feel a little more curious.
After being introduced by Han's mother, I learned that this gentle man with white hair was Mr. Han's former friend, named Jing Ling.
Former friend? Qu Le lowered her head slightly. She had always guessed that Mr. Han might be from the imperial court and could be friends with him. She thought that this Jing Ling might also come from a temple.
Mr. Han and Amu had to have lunch at a neighbor's house before returning. Mother Han did not wait for them, but called Qule to bring all the food to the table, boiled a pot of wine, and the three of them sat around the table. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Mother Han went to clean up the dishes alone and let Qu Le lead Jing Ling around, making sure not to neglect the guests.
In fact, the Han family was not big, and could even be called a bit crude. However, Jing Ling was extremely patient and allowed Qu Le to take him around several rooms, and finally entered the study.
He casually took down a book from the bookshelf, sat next to the desk, and read it quietly. The fine hair on his forehead hung down, covering his strange-colored eyes. Reflecting the snowy light outside the house, the snow-white hair became even brighter.
transparent.
"Ahem..." He covered his mouth and nose lightly, and his white hair rippled gently.
Qu Le hurriedly closed the window, brought a brazier over, and carefully placed it next to Jing Ling.
"Thank you," he smiled at Qule, his bright eyes lighting up the otherwise gloomy study room with brilliance.
His voice was soft and gentle, like lily and lotus seed porridge, with an elegant and fragrant air.
Qu Le waved her hand politely: "It's very cold out here. You're wearing so little clothing. Could it be that you're freezing and catching the windchill?"
He stretched out his green, slender and white fingers, turned the page of the book, and smiled casually: "I've never seen you before, what's your name?"
Qule replied with a smile: "Qule, music's music, music's music."
Jing Ling couldn't help but laugh: "Can I call you Xiaole?"
Qu Le: "You can also call me Xiao Qu, it sounds like someone asking someone to sing a tune."
What she said was quite interesting, so Jing Ling asked one more question: "How old is Xiaole this year?"
Qu Le winked slyly: "Guess what."
Jing Ling thought for a moment: "You look like you are only fifteen or sixteen years old."
"I'm already eighteen this year!" Xiao Lezi touched his chin proudly, "It's because my face is so tender that people always mistake me for being very young, hahaha!"
Jing Ling couldn't help but chuckle. The two chatted happily. Seeing that the tea had gone cold, Qu Le planned to change to a cup of hot tea, but she happened to bump into Mr. Han who had just walked in. He walked straight to the study, and Qu Le
I had no choice but to go back and make another cup of tea and carefully take it to the study.
Before leaving, Mr. Han specifically told them not to disturb them unless there was nothing special to do.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Qu Le and Amu were going to go to a nearby town to watch the lanterns and play with the children in the village. Before leaving, Qu Le dragged Jing Ling into the team by the way, and it was rare that they met a stunningly handsome man.
No matter what, you have to take it out to look long so as not to waste resources.
Walking on the crowded street, Qu Le remembered the last time she and Xiao Feng watched the lanterns together during the Qiqiao Festival. Now things have changed. I really wonder how Xiao Feng is doing now? Thinking of this, she
Can't help but feel a little sad
"It's so lively here," Jing Ling looked at the various lanterns that could be seen everywhere on the street. She seemed to be in a good mood. Qu Le bargained with the street vendors and bought three lanterns with two copper plates. She gave the fox lanterns to
Jing Ling, keep this rabbit lantern for yourself, and finally give the fat pig lantern to Amu.
Ammu was very dissatisfied: "Why did the lantern given to me be a fat pig!"
Qu Le grinned: "Because you are brothers!"
"Qule!" Amu held the fat pig lantern and rushed towards Qule with teeth and claws, vowing to take revenge!
Jing Ling watched them playing around and laughed very happily. Unexpectedly, she was extremely happy and sad. She suddenly covered her mouth and coughed, her face turned pale, and her thin body was crumbling, which frightened Qu Le and A Mu.
"What's wrong with you?" Qu Le immediately stopped fighting, hurriedly supported him, and asked with concern, "Do you want to take a rest first?"
Amu pointed to the tea shop not far away: "Xiao Mo, where should we go!"
He helped Jing Ling sit down in the tea shop and ordered a pot of steaming tea to warm him up. He said, "Thank you, I'm fine. It's just an old problem."
"Are you feeling better?" Qu Le took the empty tea bowl and put it aside casually. He said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I didn't know your health was not good, so I forced you to come out to play. Such a cold weather is really embarrassing for you.
Already."
Jing Ling: "Don't blame yourself, I'm happy to hang out with you."
Qu Le took advantage of the situation and asked: "Do you rarely come out to play?"
Jing Ling held the hot tea bowl and smiled slightly: "Yes, I have been in poor health since I was a child. My parents didn't let me run around. I can only stay at home reading and writing every day. Occasionally I see other children jumping around outside.
Playing on the ground makes me feel very envious."
Qu Le immediately smiled and said: "You have grown up now, and your parents can no longer control you. If you want to come out to play again in the future, just come to me. This girl is not good at anything else. She is definitely the best in eating, drinking and having fun!"
Ammu looked at her sideways: "If you don't brag, will you die?"
Qu Le slapped him on the head: "If you don't expose me, will you die?"
The two immediately started playing around again, with Jing Ling laughing happily at the side. It wasn't until other children came to call them to play with firecrackers that Amu stopped. He avoided Qu Le's clutches and ran away to join his friends.
Firecrackers were set off.
Jing Ling: "Why don't you go play with them?"
"I don't want to play with these little butts. They act like a bunch of lunatics when they make noise. I am a lady. Quiet and dignified is synonymous with me!" She smiled, revealing two small tiger teeth. (To be continued)
