Chapter 626: Glazed World: White Snow and Red Plum Blossoms (Part 7)
Afternoon.
Although the wind had weakened a lot, the snow was falling heavier and heavier, and a thin layer had already accumulated on the ground.
The mud and water below had not yet frozen solid, and it felt like two pieces of skin when stepped on, and was extremely slippery.
Therefore, Xing Xiuyun took every step very carefully, for fear of dirtying the crane cloak she was wearing - this was Xiren's favorite, and it was said that after Mrs. Wang gave it to her, she only wore it a few times.
When Xing Xiuyun heard Jia Baoyu's words at first, she wanted to refuse.
But Baoyu was always so persistent, how could she refuse?
Alas~
Although he was a generous person, he thought that the maidservant beside Baoyu could receive such a generous gift from Lady Wang, but his aunt was...
Pah~
Just when he was feeling chilled, Jia Xichun beside him suddenly stomped her foot hard, splashing mud everywhere.
Xing Xiuyan hurriedly took two steps sideways, and seeing Jia Xichun's face full of indignation, she could not help but ask helplessly: "Who are you angry with again?"
At the beginning, because Mrs. Xing was unwilling to pay the extra money for the selection, she forced a match and arranged for Xing Xiuyan to live in Jia Xichun's Nuanxiangwu.
The two of them usually got along quite well, but Jia Xichun, as a young lady of Ningguo Mansion, had been fostered in Rongguo Mansion since childhood and had been accustomed to being lonely. She often showed some unkindness, and Xing Xiuyun could only endure it secretly.
When Jia Xichun heard her question, she turned her head and glanced in the direction of Daoxiang Village, sneering, "I really can't praise this hero who was born out of a pile of bones. Sister, when you go to Lu Xueguang tomorrow, just say that I caught a cold."
Having said that, he continued walking forward without caring whether Xing Xiuyan agreed or not.
It turns out it was for this!
Xing Xiuyan looked at her back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry for a long time.
Although Jia Xichun is very young, she has always respected Buddha and has a "heart of a bodhisattva". She hates to see things that kill people.
Just now, when Xing Xiuyan heard Sun Shaozong talking about the fire that burned the city for three days and the thousands of barbarian corpses floating on the water that formed a lake, she felt that something was wrong with her expression, but she never thought that she would be so angry.
Alas~
Normally, she hardly showed any sympathy to the maids around her, but she was extremely merciful to the barbarians thousands of miles away.
Xing Xiuyan sighed helplessly, and could only hurry up while trying to ensure safety as much as possible.
The two of them arrived at Nuanxiangwu one after the other, only to see the head maid Ruhua coming out from the corridor with a woolen cloak in her hand .
Xichun was immersed in a feeling of sympathy for the world. Seeing her holding out another woolen garment, she casually said, "You just changed into this cloak this morning. Why are you taking out another one? Even if you don't need anything at home, there's no reason to waste things like this!"
When Ruhua heard the tone was wrong, she quickly bent her spine to 75 degrees and said carefully: "Miss, this dress was just sent by the eldest lady..."
"Sent by my sister-in-law?"
"No, no, no, it's the eldest lady of this house."
As she spoke, Ruhua looked up at Xing Xiuyan and said, "Did they say it was for Miss Xing?"
"Did the eldest lady send clothes to Sister Xing?"
Jia Xichun's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Could it be that the sun is setting from the west..."
Halfway through her words, she realized something was wrong - she was already living under someone else's roof, so how could she criticize her elders?
So he quickly swallowed the last word and changed his words: "Since it was given to Sister Xing by the eldest wife, then you can just take it to Sister Xing's room. Why are you standing outside?"
Having said that, he went into the main room on his own.
"It was just delivered..."
Ruhua followed and wanted to explain a few words, but the door slammed shut. Soon the sound of chanting was heard from inside.
Ruhua pursed her lips in grievance, turned around and asked Xing Xiuyan: "Who is our girl with?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? It's either you or me."
Xing Xiuyan spread her hands helplessly, then pulled Ruhua to a corner and asked in detail about the origin of the woolen cloak. Not only did Jia Xichun find it incredible, she also couldn't believe that her aunt would suddenly become so kind.
Then Ruhua said, "I heard from Qiutong that the dress was sent by the second young lady, who specifically asked the madam to pass it to you. Otherwise..."
Second girl?
Jia Yingchun who has already married into the Sun family?
The last time she went back to her parents' home, they didn't say much, but she never thought that she still cared about him...
wrong!
How could Sister Yingchun know that she had no thick clothes to wear?
Xing Xiuyan was a very smart person. After a little thought, she thought of Sun Shaozong - he was the only one who knew her predicament and could conveniently act under the name of Jia Yingchun.
Thinking of this, Xing Xiuyan subconsciously took the clothes in her hands, stroked it gently a few times, and felt a warmth reaching deep into her heart.
What moved her was not only the dress itself, but also Sun Shaozong's delicate and considerate style of doing things behind the scenes.
Being in the name of Jia Yingchun, he naturally did not ask for anything in return; not giving it directly to herself, but letting Mrs. Xing have a look first to avoid her having any objections, was considerate of her own difficulties.
The young hero is heroic, yet so considerate...
No wonder Sister Miaoyu, who had been practicing seclusion for more than ten years, still fell in love with him.
at the same time……
In the guest room in the front yard——
"A-choo, A-choo!"
Sun Shaozong sneezed twice, rubbing his nose and mocking himself: "I was fine when I didn't wear the cloak, but who would have thought that I couldn't stand it after putting it on."
In fact, the main reason why he went to the front yard to find Zhang Cheng was that he wanted Zhang Cheng to go back and ask for a warm coat - after all, he had already made up his mind not to go back until tomorrow.
As for Xing Xiuyan's matter, it was just a favor.
"Don't tell me you caught a cold?"
Ping'er said as she walked out, "I'll go to the kitchen and get you a bowl of ginger soup to warm you up."
“No, no, no!”
Sun Shaozong hurriedly chased after her and pulled her back, saying jokingly, "Since you're already here, why are you still drinking that crap? Just sweat a little and your body will be clear again."
"Pooh!"
Ping Er blushed and spat, struggling to say, "In broad daylight..."
"How could it be in broad daylight? I clearly brought a gift..."
This person was about to be flogged and forced to confess whether the impostor was Wang Xifeng or not, but suddenly someone banged on the door outside.
Who is so blind?
Logically speaking, everyone in Rongguo Mansion knew that Ping'er would be theirs sooner or later. They finally , so why would anyone dare to disturb them?
Sun Shaozong walked into the courtyard with a gloomy face. Just as he was about to ask who was outside the door, he heard the person banging on the door shouting, "Sir, something happened! Zhang An got drunk and killed his own uncle by mistake. He has now been taken to the Daxing County Court!"
"What?!"
Sun Shaozong's thoughts were immediately swept away. He hurried to the door, pulled down the bolt, and lifted Wang Zhen up to the air. He asked, "Zhang An has always been steady. How could he do such a stupid thing?!"
