Chapter 104: Stepping on the Snow to Seek Plums

"There is plum blossom without snow without spirit, and there is snow without poetry to make people feel vulgar. The poems are all day long and snowy, and they are all together with plum blossoms." Yan Hae had enough, shook his head and recited the poem, and then she had an idea again, "Grandmother, grandmother, it snowed as the weather. Let's go and step on the snow to find the plum blossom tomorrow."

Before Mrs. Yan could speak out, Princess Nanping spoke first, "How long have you been out? You are so crazy, you are almost a wild child."

"Grandmother, Xiaoxiao is not a wild child." Yan Huo said coquettishly with a pout.

The grandmother was the one who took the best of her granddaughter and immediately took care of her, "We Xiaoxiao are not wild children, we Xiaoxiao are good children."

The grandmother who likes her granddaughter's request was naturally omnipotent. If she walks through the snow tomorrow, she will find plum blossoms. Mrs. Yan immediately called Wuzhuangtou and asked if there was a plum blossom nearby.

"There is a plum forest. If you go west for five miles, there will be a plum forest. It is only the first three miles to pass the carriage, and the second two miles can only walk." Wu Zhuangtou reported.

When he heard that he had to walk two roads, Princess Nanping immediately said, "Xiaoxiao, you said you wanted to step on the snow and find plum blossoms. You have to walk on this step. You are not allowed to hug you at that time."

"Dad and brothers are not here." Yan Huo pouted, implying that the person who hugged her was not here, so who would hug her?

"It's very hard to go two miles away." Princess Nanping said exaggeratedly.

"I'm not afraid, Xiaoxiao is not a person who fears difficulties." Yan Huo encouraged himself.

Mrs. Yan smiled and said, "It seems that nothing can stop Xiaoxiao from stepping on the snow and looking for plum blossoms."

Yan Hu nodded vigorously. The opportunity was rare, and he had to be elegant no matter what. After all, he was a famous lady. He had to do such an elegant thing as stepping on the snow and looking for plum blossoms.

"Sister Twelve, will you take Xiao Shisi there?" Yan Jing asked obediently.

"It's too far away, I'm going to walk again, so don't go. I'll pick some plum blossoms and come back and let the water chestnuts make plum blossom cakes and plum blossom candy for you to eat." Yan Huo said with a smile.

"Okay, Sister Twelve is the best, Sister Twelve is the best, Sister Twelve is the most popular." Yan Jing clapped her hands happily.

The next morning, the snow was clear and the carriage was ready. After Tian Xining learned about this, she ran over, "Old Madam, can I go with you?"

Yan Hu stuck his head out from behind Mrs. Yan, "The little brat on the roof."

"Hey, you...Red Ball!" Tian Xining recognized it at a glance.

Red ball!

What the hell?

Mrs. Yan smiled and said, "Xining, this is my little twelve. Just call her Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao, this is the fourth and fourth cousin of the Marquis of Baoqing." Tian Yining married Guangchang Xiangjun, the granddaughter of the King of Zhongshan. Although the blood relationship is far apart, Guangchang Xiangjun is still Yan Hu's cousin, and this cousin's brother-in-law's younger brother is also considered a cousin.

Another cousin.

Yan Huo complained a little in his heart, but Miss Yan Shier, who had always been concerned about the face of her family outside, still shouted obediently: "Hello, Cousin Tian Si."

"Hello, hello." Tian Xining scratched her head and smiled.

"Let's get in the car," said Mrs. Yan with a smile.

"I'm riding a horse." Tian Xining smiled.

Mrs. Yan frowned and said, "It's too cold to ride a horse on snowy day, so I'll go to the car." If it's not to ride a horse, then don't go. Mrs. Yan didn't say this second half of the sentence.

After all, it was not her grandmother. Tian Xining was not willing to be willful, so she climbed into the car and saw a chubby little girl sitting inside, "Hey, there is another red ball here."

This red ball deserves more substantial reputation than the one just now. The one just now had a melon-shaped face, the one just now had a round face, the one wearing clothes that looked too thick and looked like a ball, which was empty; this one had thicker flesh and solid.

Yan Zi stuffed the peeled pine nuts into his mouth and said, "I am Yan Shisan! My name is Zisan."

"Ah, are you younger than her?" Tian Xining saw that Yan Xi was getting fatter than Yan Hae, and thought she was Xiao Shi or Xiao Shi.

"Twelve Sister, this person is afraid he is a fool, right?" Yan Qi asked.

Yan Hu said seriously: "Sister Thirteen, it's heartbreaking to be honest."

"Xiaoxiao, 正, you can't be so rude." Mrs. Yan hurriedly stopped the two naughty children.

Yan Hu and Yan Qi hugged each other and laughed. Old Mrs. Yan apologized to Tian Xining, "These two children are ignorant and naughty. Xining should not be as knowledgeable as them."

"Two little cousins, very cute." Tian Xining smiled generously, but when Mrs. Yan turned around, he would make faces at the two of them.

"So naive." Yan Huo approached Yan Huo's ear, looking like a low voice, but in fact the voice was not small enough for Tian Xining to hear it.

"It's worse than the tenth brother." Yan Qi curled his lips.

The two little girls were despised, Tian Xining was disrespectful, clenched her fists and silently scared them. The two little girls were not afraid at all. One continued to peel pine nuts and eat them, and the other picked up a white porcelain spring bottle with green-caly plums painted.

"Hong, Xiaoxiao, go and find plum blossoms on the snow. What are you going to do with a spring bottle?" Tian Xining asked.

"A common man, a common man." Yan Huo shook his head and sighed.

"A great ordinary person." Yan Qi immediately finished the attack.

"Oh, I understand, you are going to pick the snow on the plum blossoms." Tian Xining said excitedly.

"Twelve Sister, he is not stupid." Yan Qi commented.

Yan Huo sneered, "Everyone knows such a simple thing."

"Hey, little girl, you're still angry about the fact that I hit the back of your head with a snowball that day, right?" Tian Xining asked in a low voice.

"Hmph, do I look like such a stingy person?" Yan Huo refused to admit that she was holding a grudge.

"My twelve sisters have a broad mind as the sea." Yan Qi boasted.

Tian Xining smiled and said, he didn't believe this, but he was a lot of adults and didn't bother with the little girl. "It's very elegant to cook fragrant tea with melting snow, I can help."

"No need to help." Yan Hu refused.

Yan Qi added, "The Twelve Sisters collect the snow on the plum blossoms to give to Cousin Fu, this is my intention. Sisters twelve, am I right?"

"That's right." Yan Hu nodded with a smile.

"Cousin Fu?" Tian Xining thought for a while, "Are you talking about Fu Wujiu from Duke Anguo's Mansion?"

Yan Zi focused on the key points.

Mrs. Yan turned around and looked at Yan Huo who was smiling like a flower. She had a faint sadness in her eyes. She was different from others when she was treated by Leng Ruicha last time. The last time, the Leng Ruicha was sent to the Duke of Heping of the Prince Rong Mansion, according to the mother of each house, and only Duke of An Guo Mansion gave three bottles.

A bottle of Princess Chengyang, a bottle of Princess Anguo, and a bottle of one... Mrs. Yan frowned slightly. Is it for Wujiu? Mrs. Yan felt that after returning to Beijing, it was necessary to go to Duke Anguo's Mansion and ask Princess Chengyang to marry her grandson quickly and not delay her precious granddaughter.

Tian Xining touched her chin and thoughtful. No wonder these two little girls were so rude. It turned out that they were influenced by the poisonous tongue. Fu Zhixing, who had a reputation for poisonous tongue, once again took the blame for Yan Hu's poisonous tongue.

The carriage stopped after three miles, and then it was about to walk. Qumai came over and helped Yanhu hold the spring bottle. Yanhu and Yanhu walked forward hand in hand, humming a small song in their mouths, "Let's walk, let's hold small hands, walk, go out together. The white clouds are leisurely, the sun is soft, and the green mountains and green waters are beautiful. Let's walk, let's hold small hands, walk, go out together."

After listening to it twice, Tian Xining also hummed, "Let's go and go out for an outing together."

Humming a little song, the two little girls walked forward with great enthusiasm, but didn't even clamor for someone to hug them, so they walked to the small hill full of plum trees. The plum trees were specially planted. In order to facilitate the plum viewers to go up the mountain, the road was specially built, with bluestone slabs carved with exquisite patterns.

Everyone climbed up the stairs and soon arrived at the plum forest. White plum, red plum, pink plum, green plum, and various plum blossoms bloomed on the branches, with single and double petals, and the fragrance of flowers was everywhere, making them beautiful. Yanhu and Yanqi shuttled between the plum trees, one enjoying flowers and sweeping the snow, and the other enjoying flowers and eating flowers.

"Twelve Sister, this flower is not delicious." Yan Qi stuffed a red plum blossom into his mouth. Mrs. Yan Wu was frightened when she saw it. The plum blossom should not be poisonous, right? Although this daughter is a silly foodie, she only has one child and one daughter. If there are more children, she will not be able to bear this...

"Of course it's not delicious to eat like this. Pick some plum blossoms and take them back. I'll let the water chestnuts make plum blossom porridge, pickle plum blossom candy, and make plum blossom cake." Yan Hu said as his saliva was about to come out.

Tian Xining turned her head and looked at her with a look of surprise. He had thought that Hongqian was an elegant person. He seemed to be just a disguise. He was essentially a vulgar person who loved food. That's right. If he didn't like it, how could he come up with that novel way to eat hot pot?

Yan Hu didn't pay attention to the look of Tian Xining looking at her. She carefully collected the snow on the plum blossoms and quickly collected half of the bottle. "Ah Ji" the snow water was so cold that she sneezes.

Princess Nanping frowned slightly and glanced at her daughter.

"Ah Ji" Yan Huo sneezes for the second time.

"Xiaoxiao, stop playing with snow, come here quickly." Princess Nanping had to speak.

"It'll be fine soon." Yan Hu wanted to fill a bottle, "Ah Chi, Ah Chi." He sneezed twice in a row.

"Xiaoxiao, your mind is more important than your essence." Mrs. Yan also spoke.

Yan Huo thought about it and stuffed the bottle obediently and asked Qu Mai to hold it. She ran to Princess Nanping, took the hand stove handed over by her mother, and hugged it in her arms.

At this time, a group of people who admired plum blossoms came up from the other side of the mountain, mostly men in Confucian scholars' uniforms; in addition to a few guards in the Yan family, they were also female relatives. Seeing this, Mrs. Yan said, "I have admired the plum blossoms, let's go down the mountain and go back."

Tian Xining broke a plum blossom and smiled and said, "My cousin didn't come. I'll take a branch back and let him put it in the bottle."

Yan Huo said in surprise: "You are quite considerate."

"Don't underestimate people, okay? This young master is as broad as the sea." Tian Xining said arrogantly.

Yan Huo curled his lips and muttered in a low voice, "It's because his face is thicker than the city wall."

The Yan family and his group returned the same way, but they did not expect a scholar to speak out: "That lady in a blue cloak, please stay."

Today, only Yan Fen wore a blue satin cloak. As soon as Yan Fen slowed down, the scholar came over, holding a handkerchief in his hand, "Is this handkerchief left by the lady?"

Yan Fen looked at the handkerchief. The plain white silk was embroidered with bright red peony flowers. Although the peony is a rich flower, it is too bright and none of the sisters in the family like it, and they will not embroider it on the handkerchief. Yan Fen smiled and shook his head, "This is not my handkerchief."

After saying that, Yan Fen quickly took a few steps and caught up with the sisters.

The scholar stuffed his handkerchief into his sleeve, looked at Yan Fen's back, and chanted: "The beauty wore the bright moon, smiled and had a spring posture. Holding a branch of spring in her hand, she shone in the shadow of Han Mei."

"A young man saw a beautiful woman, his soul was drunk." A scholar in a green robe came over and said with a smile.

"I don't know which lady it is?" the scholar asked with a look of confusion.

"Brother Fan, I advise you not to think too much. Not only does that lady have a maid followed her, but I also look at the guards. She is not a daughter from the official family, but also a rich girl. You are a poor scholar, so don't be foolish." The green scholar said with a smile.

"My brother Wei is such a bad thing. I will wait until I have a high school entrance examination next year and I will win the spring examination next year. It will not be difficult to marry that lady." The scholar named Fan said with great success.

The scholar surnamed Wei smiled and bowed, "Then I wish Brother Fan a good pass and a little pass after he passed the exam, and he would be more happy."

The scholar surnamed Fan laughed loudly. Only the official daughter is worthy of a young talent like him.

The Yan family had no idea about the conversation between the two scholars. After going down the mountain, they walked two miles. Not only did Yan Hu feel so sad, but also Mrs. Yan was a little tired. Seeing this, Mrs. Yan vacated a carriage for Tian Xining to sit on, and Yan Hu got on the carriage that Mrs. Yan Wu was riding on.

Mrs. Yan and Yan Hu got on the carriage. Taoyuan followed, removed the cushion, opened the box below, took out a small quilt from it, and placed the cushion. Old Mrs. Yan hugged Yan Hu and leaned on the big soft pillow, and Taoyuan put the quilt on the two of them.

The wheel rolled forward and soon returned to the village. Princess Nanping felt distressed when she looked at her daughter who couldn't get excited, "Xiaoxiao, come, mom."

Yan Xiang saw Yan Hae's eyes closed and his head drooped on Princess Nanping's shoulders, and sneered. Yan Hae in his previous life listened to the rain in the bamboo forest in spring, rafted on the lake in summer, drank and enjoyed the moon in autumn, and stomped on the snow in winter to find plum blossoms, doing all the elegant things; in this life, his delicate body is probably only lingering in the sickbed.

Mrs. Yan Er ordered the maid, "I told the cold-relieving tea I cooked in the kitchen before going out, and I will bring it up quickly."

Anyone who goes out to find plum blossoms through snow, each person will be one bowl, which is Tian Xining, who claims to be as strong as a cow. Tian Xining, who has drunk the cold tea, took the plum blossom back to his room and presented treasure to Zhao Yanqing, "Cousin, I have been looking for it for a long time before I can get back to you, so don't be too grateful."

Zhao Yanqing glanced at him and said, "You are very comfortable."

"There is nothing uncomfortable. Mrs. Yan is kind and friendly. Not to mention living for ten days and half a month, it is OK to live for a year and a half." Tian Xining said with a smile.

"I'm not as thick-skinned as you." Zhao Yanqing said unhappy. He was already embarrassed after disturbing for so long. This man wanted to live for a year or two, which was simply shameless.

Tian Si Shao, who didn't feel shameless at all, asked Wu Xiaobei to find a vase, put the plum blossoms in the vase, hummed a small song, and took them back to his room. Zhao Yanqing's mouth twitched slightly, and the flower seemed to be giving it to him!
