It was snowing heavily, and it took a whole night. The next morning, the sky was still filled with fine snowflakes, slowly falling to the ground.

Fu Rong was standing at the door with a cloak and holding a copper stove in his hand. Seeing the maids' early walking path covered with snow on both sides of the path, his legs were deep, he couldn't help but sigh: "The snow is so big."

She grew up in the south when she was a child, and it was rare to see snow. She had been in the letter for almost three years and had seen it a few times, but it was the first time that it was so big today. There was too much snow, so it was not easy to clean it up all at once. Moreover, this was just a temporary inn, so the maids only swept out the path leading to the front yard, and then swept out the path in front of the door of the wing where she and Fu Xuan were, so that the yard was divided into several square pieces of snow.

In the distance, the branches of the poplar and elm trees that had already lost all their leaves were covered with thick white snow, and the roof was covered with silver. The sky was gray and the tiny snow petals were flying tirelessly. As far as the sight was, it seemed that the whole world was about to be swallowed up by the gray and white snow.

It's really beautiful if you're cold.

"Three sisters!"

On the other side of the main room, Fu Xuan led the Guan Ge'er to the door, wearing a thick little tiger hat on his head, and his little face was blushing. Seeing Fu Rong, Guan Ge'er's black grape-like eyes became brighter and shining, and shouted crisply, exhaling a ball of white air.

"Brother Guan got up so early." Fu Rong smiled and greeted his younger brother, lifted his foot out of the door. Because it was snowing, she was worried that the upper was wet by the snow on the ground, so she wore high-soled embroidered shoes. Lan Xiang was afraid that she would not get used to it for a while, so she carefully held her arm, and then let go after she went down the steps, and followed Fu Rong one step behind.

"Snow!" Seeing his sister coming over, Gu Geer stretched out his little finger and pointed at the snow beside him and told his sister.

Fu Rong bent down and picked up the little guy, asking him to touch the snow on the windowsill.

The Guan Geer curiously stuck his little finger into the snow, and then he immediately shrank back, "Cold!"

Fu Rong laughed and turned his head to Fu Xuan and said, "Let's go in and talk, it's cold outside."

Fu Xuan glanced at the wintersweet trees in the corner, nodded reluctantly, and followed Fu Rong to the house.

No one mentioned the matter of the spirit fox, and Gu Ge'er seemed to have completely forgotten it.

Until Fu Pinyan came to have breakfast, Qiao asked in confusion: "Didn't you say you want to have dinner with Your Highness?"

Fu Pinyan sighed: "Your Highness personally took people to explore the way forward. I don't know when I will come back, let's use it ourselves."

Qiao looked out the window and said sadly: "I can't set out today. I hope the snow will stop early. Otherwise, if the main hall Wanwan couldn't wait for us, she would feel uneasy."

Fu Pinyan nodded, took off his boots and sat cross-legged on the east side of the kang table.

Qiao ordered the maids to arrange meals.

The steaming dumplings were hot and warm all over after eating them.

Fu Pinyan looked at his two daughters, especially Fu Xuan. Thinking of the tender yellow wintersweet in the west, he smiled and said, "Do you want to go see wintersweet? When the sun is high at noon, I will take you there. The snow should stop at that time." The youngest daughter likes poetry, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting the most, and she also has a special liking for the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums that are praised by literati.

Fu Xuan wanted to go, but was worried: "Will there be many people?"

The inn is full, who knows if there are any men outside in the plum tree? It would be fine if they are polite. If they meet a frivolous person, Fu Xuan is young, but he doesn't like it, let alone if she goes, her sister will probably go there too.

Fu Pinyan comforted him: "Don't worry, Your Highness Su rests here. His guards have already looked at the yard and the plum forest. You can't wait for the idle people to get close to it, so it's convenient for us to enjoy the plum blossoms."

The eldest son once wrote a letter to inform him of his first encounter with King Su, and praised King Su for being cool and not arrogant. After Fu Pinyan had dealt with him personally, he also admired the prince quite well. Because he knew the other party's temperament, he was not so restrictive in his behavior, otherwise he would not dare to go to Meilin.

After hearing this, Fu Xuan said nothing more and thanked me well: "Dad is so good."

Fu Pinyan looked at Fu Rong again inquiring: "Is it thick?"

Fu Rong said disgusted, "What should I do if my shoes are so cold? Dad will take my sister to go and pick a few branches for me and I will give you some in the house."

In fact, Fu Rong wanted to go, but he didn't want to go.

I went there, hoping to meet Xu Jin, to test when he arranged for his father to go to Beijing, or to test whether Xu Jin was still nostalgic for her. It would be completely relieved without her. But Fu Rong was afraid that if he really met, would Xu Jin misunderstand that she had no other thoughts about him? After all, now that Xu Jin lives here, she knows that he is still going out, even if she is really just accompanying her family to enjoy the scenery, it will change its taste when it falls into Xu Jin's eyes?

After weighing the two, Fu Rong chose not to go.

It’s like that fox, no matter how curious she is, she won’t go to see it, so that Xu Jin won’t be so passionate. As for whether she is passionate, wait. If Xu Jin doesn’t plan to give up on her, he will sooner or later show his strength. For example, this coincidental encounter, Fu Rong always feels that it’s not that simple.

The beloved daughter was lazy, and Fu Pinyan had already prepared and was not surprised.

Qiao was relieved. She was most afraid of her daughter's high-powered and handsome King Su's heart. Now her daughter is as lazy as usual, and she is not looking forward to going out because she might meet King Su when she goes out. It shows that she is thinking too much.

"Then you can take Xuanxuan there. We will stay in the house, and I am afraid of the cold." Qiao said to her husband with a smile.

Fu Pinyan looked at her helplessly. It was rare that he wanted to accompany them, but only his little daughter appreciated it.

Not long after, the snow stopped and the servant who arranged for the snow to sweep the snow would come back soon to report. Fu Pinyan sat with his wife for a while, and when the sun came out and warmed up, he led Fu Xuan out.

The Guan Ge'er looked at his father leaving and acted coquettishly at his mother: "I want to see the plum blossoms too."

Fu Rong took his younger brother into his arms and coaxed him: "It's cold outside, and Brother Guan will get cold when he goes out, and his nose will be uncomfortable."

Brother Guan had just had an illness a while ago, and he still remembered the pain of running nose. Now, after hearing what my sister said, he immediately sat down and didn't want to go outside.

The room was quiet and warm. Fu Rong leaned on the pillow to bask in the sun. He didn't expect that any maid outside suddenly mentioned the word "王后". Fu Rong was shocked and opened his eyes. He saw Brother Guan tilting his face out the window, not to mention how serious he was. Fu Rong thought to himself that he was not allowed to sit down and talked with his mother about the plum blossom interruption, but it was too late.

"Mom, I want to look at the fox, look at the fox with two tails!" Guan Ge'er rushed to Qiao's arms and pointed outside.

Qiao had a headache and came up with various reasons to fool her son.

But Gu Ge'er decided that no matter what his mother and sister said, she just wanted to see the fox and she would cry if she didn't agree.

Such a young child is very popular when he is sensible. Once he becomes stubborn, even Fu Rong, who is most accustomed to his younger brother, feels disgusted. He wears shoes and wants to escape, so that his mother can coax him alone.

"Three sisters take me to see the fox!" Seeing that her sister was leaving, Guan Ge'er wiped his eyes and reached out to hug Fu Rong. The tears that had just fallen on his face were wet, and the whole heart of trust and desire inside seemed to be stained with water, falling in Fu Rong's heart like spring rain, and he could not leave a step further.

It was hard to refuse cruelly, so Guer said pitifully again, "Three Sisters", his eyelashes that were wet with tears flashed, and he squeezed out two more drops of bean teardrops again.

Fu Rong looked at his mother with help.

Qiao couldn't stand his son's pitiful appearance, so he looked outside and had an idea, "Ah, I heard them say that the fox went to Meilin, let's go there to find the fox." This time the door had to go out, so she delayed it first. On the way, her son forgot the fox, and she couldn't forget it. She handed the little slut to her husband and let him coax it.

Lord Guan was half-believing and half-doubted, turned his head to look at his sister.

Fu Rong received his mother's look and quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, let's go there and find the fox. That brother Guan is not allowed to cry anymore. Foxes don't like crying children the most. The more you cry, the more it runs."

"I won't cry." Guan Ge'er sniffed and nodded seriously.

Qiao slapped her son's ass in anger.

Fu Rongze instructed the maid to prepare water, help his younger brother wash his face, and then apply scent.

When the mother and the two of them helped Guan Geer tie their cloak together, the little maid came to report: "Madam, Your Highness hasn't come back yet."

However, Qiao was worried about meeting King Su, so she specially sent a maid to inquire.

It would be best if he didn't come back. Qiao quickly finished packing up, put Brother Guan in the wooden car, and pushed him out of the door.

When he arrived at the front yard, he saw two guards standing at the door. Qiao Fu Rong walked forward calmly. Suddenly, Guan Ge'er suddenly stood up with the car board and shouted to a guard: "The fox is running away! I'll catch the fox!"

The guard was stunned, with a confused look on his face.

Both Qiao and Fu Rong were secretly glad that they wore a hat when they went out, and others could not see their faces.

Just as he was about to walk out of the main door quickly, three figures suddenly turned around in front of him. The leading man stepped on black boots and a black robe embroidered with python patterns. He walked over from the white eyes without warning, as if a magic weapon was descending from the sky. Qiao couldn't help but look up and met the man's handsome and cold face. His phoenix eyes were like ink and his long eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if he was puzzled by the situation in front of him.

Qiao quickly avoided one side and bowed his knees and saluted: "I don't know that your highness has returned and has collided unintentionally. Please forgive me for your crime."

Fu Rong also bowed his head and bit his lips secretly.

"Madam, you're polite." Xu Jin said concisely, with a faint chill in his voice, and he raised his foot to leave.

Qin Ying pulled him, turned to Qiao and said, "Does Auntie still remember me? In May, my elder sister got married, so I'll give it to you."

Qiao smiled and said, "I remember, I haven't seen you for half a year, and the second young master has grown a lot taller and become more handsome."

"Auntie," Qin Ying laughed. Seeing the little boy staring at him curiously, he reached out and picked him up, "This is Brother Guan, I heard from Zhengtang several times, Brother Guan, I just heard you say that the fox ran away, what fox?"

Qiao was embarrassed, but it was hard to interrupt and explain at this moment, and she just hated herself for not leaving early.

The Guan Ge'er was originally accustomed to her birth, but when she heard that the fox was no longer afraid, she pointed outside and said, "I want to catch the white fox with two tails."

Qin Ying looked at the Qiao family mother and daughter on the side. After thinking about it for a moment, she understood what was going on. She lied to Qiao family and said, "I ran away, but we have already caught me. Brother Guan wants to see it. I'll take you there now."

The Guan Ge'er turned his head to look at his mother excitedly: "Catch it back!"

Qiao was in a very embarrassment and tactfully advised Qin Ying: "Won't anyone can see that kind of spiritual thing? The second young master and His Highness just came back from outside, so it's better to go back to the house to have a cup of hot tea to warm your body, and ignore him, a child."

Qin Ying knew what she was avoiding and looked at Xu Jin inquiringly.

Xu Jin looked at Guan Ge'er and said to Qiao: "Mrs. The saying of the spirit fox is just a rumor, but it is almost the same as that of an ordinary fox. Qin and Fu families are in-laws, so the wife does not have to be too polite. Since the young master likes it, it is better to lead the young master to the hall to sit for a while. I will send someone to carry the thing out."

It was hard to refuse the kindness, so Qiao had to respond.

Xu Jin nodded and was about to leave when a familiar soft voice suddenly came to his ears: "Mom, take your brother to see you, I'll go to Meilin to find my father."

He turned back uncontrollably.

I saw the girl in a plum cloak turning away, her steps lightly, like a flying plum blossom, flying past the wall and disappearing.
