The old landlord couple next door heard the commotion in the courtyard and came uninvited to join in the fun. During this period of contact, my aunt has already become friends with them. They have similar interests and have many things in common. With her profound knowledge reserve and rich experience, my aunt has long been on good terms with some nearby professors, scholars and celebrities.

Tang Xin was also fortunate enough to meet several famous celebrities and scholars in later generations, and was even more fortunate to receive their teachings and guidance, which she would benefit from throughout her life.

With the two joining in, this small literary group became even more lively, and the more they chatted, the happier they became. Burning incense, drinking tea, listening to the rain, playing the harp, playing chess, drinking wine, growing flowers, reading, watching the moon, and seeking tranquility were the ten most elegant activities of the ancients. The landlord also specially brought the guqin and played the song "Spring Snow" on the spot. It is different from the effect of pipa playing and has a unique flavor.

Listening to the elders chatting, Zhan Bo couldn't sit still. He took Tang Xin to the kitchen, where there were sweet potatoes he had just buried. Now there was a faint fragrance coming out. The two of them were warming themselves here while waiting. sweet potato.

Finally, Sister Zheng pushed aside the ashes and pricked the sweet potatoes with chopsticks. "Okay, young master and young lady, the sweet potatoes are ripe."

"It's great, it smells so good." Zhan Bo and Tang Xin's eyes lit up, and they were waiting expectantly for Sister Zheng's help.

"You two, please don't do anything, or I'll burn you. When I was a kid, it was because my family was so poor that I couldn't find any sweet potatoes to eat. I was so anxious that I took out the sweet potatoes in a hurry as soon as they were ripe, and my hands were covered with them. It's blistered from the heat, and that hurts." Sister Zheng said as she skillfully pulled out the sweet potato with a hook. When it cooled down a little, she picked up the sweet potato with cotton gloves and broke it open, revealing the golden sweet potato inside. Then he put it on the plate, took two spoons and handed them to the two little guys.

"You guys eat first, I'll take out these roasted sweet potatoes for the adults to taste." Sister Zheng went on to deal with other roasted sweet potatoes.

Tang Xinsi dug out the sweet potato flesh with a spoon and ate it politely, but her brother Zhanbo couldn't bear it after two bites. He ate with a spoon too slowly and too politely. He was a man who didn't have to pay so much attention. So I picked up the sweet potato and switched it back and forth with my left hand and right hand, and then started eating while shouting that it was hot. Soon there were a few black marks on his brother's face, and Tang Xin looked at his brother and laughed.

"Brother, look how dirty your face is. You have turned into a little cat."

"Really?" Zhan Bo subconsciously touched his face with his hand, and then his face became even dirtier.

Tang Xin smiled even happier. "Yes, yes, it's really starting to look more and more like a little cat."

Zhan Bo walked to the washstand. There was a large mirror on it. When he saw his own appearance, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. He walked towards his sister and said, "Don't tell me, it really looks like me. Look, I'm a little cat, meow." Tang Xin laughed even more.

"Sister, don't move yet, your face is a little dirty." Zhan Bo looked at his sister smiling so happily, rolled his eyes, and then looked at his sister with a smile.

Tang Xin was smiling so happily that she didn't notice anything strange about her brother for a moment. When her brother said this, she quickly wiped it off her face with her hands. While wiping it, she asked her brother, "Brother, where is the dirt on my face?"

"On the left, go up, no, no, go down." Zhan Bo directed randomly, and Tang Xin also rubbed her face as she listened to her brother's words.

"Hey, I'll do it. I'm telling you, right here!" Zhan Bo touched Tang Xin's face, then ran away with a smile.

Only then did Tang Xin react, got up and chased after him. The two of them chased each other around the adults. The adults looked at the two little tabby cats and laughed happily, and the yard was full of laughter for a while.

I left the landlady here to have lunch, and during lunch it started to snow in bits and pieces again. The landlord suddenly said that if the snow falls heavy today and we can stand, we can go to the Forbidden City to enjoy the snow tomorrow. With red walls, white snow, glazed tiles, beautiful buildings and jade buildings, the Forbidden City in the snow is as beautiful as a painting. If you catch the plum blossoms blooming again, there are several plum blossoms in the corner, Ling Han is blooming alone, and the red plum blossoms are swaying in the wind in the snow, this scene must be experienced in person.

The old landlord said it so beautifully that everyone had a picture in their hearts. Not only the other people in Tang Xin's house were moved. So after the landlord and his wife returned, they agreed that if the snow stopped today and it stopped snowing tomorrow morning, they would go to the Forbidden City to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms together.

The next day, the weather was good, the snow stopped, the temperature did not rise, and the snow stopped.

Zhan Bo got up early and hurriedly asked Tang Xin and his aunt to get up. After breakfast, I anxiously waited for my parents to arrive. If my aunt hadn't stopped me, my brother would have run home to urge his parents.

Fortunately, Tang’s father and Tang’s mother arrived soon after, and the few people dressed warmly set off!

It was still early when we arrived at the Forbidden City. There were not many people in the Forbidden City. A few people registered at the door and then went in. The Forbidden City after the snow is really beautiful. Although the Forbidden City at this time is not as exquisite as the later repairs, it is more real because of this, with a sense of history in the desolation.

Several people walked slowly in the Forbidden City, looking at the scene around them, Tang Xin felt as if time had shifted again in an instant. She seemed to have traveled back to the ancient dynasty to experience that time. past history. The Forbidden City after the snow is so peaceful and so beautiful.

A few people just walked around like this. Time gradually passed. There were more and more tourists in the Forbidden City. The quiet atmosphere was gone and everyone planned to go back. When walking back, Tang Ma suggested that we all take a group photo. It was a rare beauty. , it would be a pity not to leave a memorial. Auntie nodded in agreement, so they walked towards the door where the photo was taken.

Unexpectedly, I met an acquaintance here.
