Lose the lights and spend another night

After the lord and Bai Zisheng had a deadlock, even if the two families met on the street, they were strangers.Bai Zisheng also seemed to restrain himself a little, and there was no more incident of abusing servants for a long time.Years later, Young Master Biao took part in the provincial examination and only got one last place, so he is considered qualified to take the provincial examination in the coming year.It is said that Bai Zisheng paid special attention to several famous masters in the city, and taught Bai Zhongyu in the White Mansion, so that Master Chronology could get a good rank in the examination in the future.

Probably, Bai Zisheng wants to become an official of his own, right?

That's everyone's first reaction when they hear the news, and I'm no exception.

Young Master Biao is guarded and forced to do something meaningful, so he can be more sensible, right?I hope that Young Master Biao can change his temper of a playboy in the future, be a good person, and stop making trouble for Yingsheng.

As for the Shen residence, since I became the adult's adopted sister, everyone has been more polite to me.

Although Madam looked at me not very friendly, but those little defensive actions were much less.On weekdays, I only walk around in Yingsheng's small courtyard, and I don't deliberately go to the front yard to meet adults.

Business as usual is the best thing for everyone.

But for me, the time really flies by, and if I don't pay attention, the winter in Lin'an is coming.

The goose feather snow keeps falling in the night, as long as you stand at the window for a while, your eyebrows and shoulders will be covered with frost.

I picked out the wick, and the candlelight in the room became brighter.

Yingsheng looked at me with a slight smile, then lowered her head again, and began to practice calligraphy seriously.

I smiled and glanced at Yingsheng's writing at this time—who on the riverside saw the moon for the first time?When did Jiangyue shine on people at the beginning of the year?

This is Zhang Ruoxu's "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night".

Yingsheng's ability in poetry and prose has been getting better and better in recent years. If she is a man, she must be the master of the gold list.I thought about it in relief, then I retreated silently, preparing to make a cup of hot tea for Yingsheng.

"I want to drink Yuqian Longjing..." Yingsheng stopped writing suddenly, looked at me with a smile, and ordered.

She knows what I want to do?

I suppressed my surprise, nodded with a smile, and prepared to leave the room.

"and many more!"

Yingsheng walked over without writing, put the cloak on me with his own hands, and stuffed the stove in his hand into my arms, "It's cold outside, be careful."

How can I serve tea with the stove?

I shook my head and chuckled, returned the stove to Yingsheng, took her hand and wrote - I'll be back soon.

Yingsheng thought for a while, and had no choice but to put the heater in his arms, "I'll keep you warm, and I'll warm your hands when I come back."

I smiled and nodded, opened the door, and the wind and snow blew in.

But I don't feel cold, because there is a place where Yingsheng is, enough to make me warm every corner of my body from the heart.

I quickly closed the door, clasped my hands together, took a breath of hot air and rubbed my hands, shrank my body and walked out of the small courtyard quickly.

The wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger. When I came back with a freshly brewed hot tea, I couldn't find any footprints when I came.

I didn't care about my head covered with frost and snow, so I could only free one hand, half-covered the teacup with my sleeve, quickened my pace, and walked towards Yingsheng's small pavilion.

"You are no longer a maid in my mansion, Huanxi, you can tell the other maids to do these things." Suddenly I heard an adult's voice behind me, I stopped in shock, and subconsciously bowed to him.

The adult stepped forward to support my body, and moved the paper umbrella in his hand closer to me, covering the falling snowflakes.

"Your temper... When will you change it?"

The adult scolded me, but I couldn't hear the slightest bit of displeasure from his tone, but full of concern.

As if knowing that I would have no response other than bowing my head, the lord sighed slightly, looked towards the small pavilion where Yingsheng was, and said, "I haven't seen Sheng'er for a long time, just so I'll give you a ride. "

Indeed, ever since the adult beat Yingsheng that day, there seems to be a gap between Yingsheng and the adult.

Even if I wrote it to Yingsheng, why would my lord do that?But in Yingsheng's heart, there was a hurdle that he couldn't get past.

I have no reason to refuse the adults' kindness, so I can only shrink back and obediently follow the adults to the small pavilion.

"I thought that since I recognized you as my younger sister, you could get closer to me..." The lord suddenly opened his mouth, and I looked up at him in surprise, afraid of what he was about to say.

My lord hastily met my eyes, shook his head and chuckled lightly, but didn't intend to continue, "I'm getting old, and I'm starting to miss the past... Not long after Sheng Niang married, she also encountered such a heavy snow..." His words It stopped abruptly, but shook his head bitterly and smiled, burying the lovesickness deep in his heart again.

I looked at the adults in a daze, a little lost.

I have seen such a look.

Not long after the eldest lady married in, she became pregnant with the young lady. That night, it seemed that it was also such a heavy snowfall.

As she was writing, she suddenly looked up at me, "Huanxi, open the window."

I looked at the eldest lady in amazement, and signaled to the eldest lady that it was cold outside.

The eldest lady still said firmly: "Open."

I had to obey, pushed the window open, and a few snowflakes floated in.

"This snow came too late..." The eldest lady walked to the window, gathered the fur coat on her body, and murmured, "Huanxi, have you ever liked anyone?"

What do you like?For as long as I can remember, all I've known is that it's my name read backwards.

The eldest lady knew that I couldn't answer her, so she just stared blankly at the wind and snow outside the window, stroked her slightly protruding belly, and said softly: "Although I can't wait for you...but I will continue to wait for you ...no matter where...I just want to wait for you..."

The eldest lady at that time had tears in her eyes, but she gradually buried those deep lovesickness.

Thinking about it now, the eldest lady might have had the intention of passing away at that time.

Who is the person that the eldest lady is waiting for?

I thought about it, and the picture in my mind was finally fixed on that year's Lantern Festival, on the Baidi, a young man in white smiled gently at the young lady.

Maybe...it's that young man...

Everyone will have some small thoughts in their hearts, the young lady's is the young man in white, the adult's is me, and mine...is Yingsheng...

"Huanxi, what are you thinking?"

The adult's voice brought me back to reality, I hurriedly shook my head, then lowered my head and continued walking.

"Squeak-"

I pushed the door open, Yingsheng raised her eyes excitedly and said: "Huanxi, you are finally back!" After speaking, she was about to walk over to warm me with the stove in her arms, when she saw the lord walking in.

Ying Sheng's smile froze on her face, she still came over, took the hot tea from my hand, put the stove into my hand, pretended she didn't see my lord, just asked me: "But it's freezing? "

I quickly shook my head, glanced at the adult's livid face, then at Yingsheng's displeased expression, gave Yingsheng a wink, and held her hand.

Quietly, I wrote in her palm—the adults are here to see you.

Ying Sheng's heart softened, and finally called out, "Daddy."

The lord frowned and said with a smile: "Well, I haven't seen you for a long time, and it's snowing heavily today. I'm afraid that the other maids here may not serve you well and make you catch a cold, so come and have a look."

The atmosphere suddenly became softer, I turned around and closed the door, and stepped aside.

"Huanxi is a family, so there is no need to be formal."

Both the lord and Yingsheng noticed my regress, but it was the lord who opened the mouth first.

I can only bite the bullet and nod, and get closer to them.

The lord smiled in satisfaction. He looked at the fire in the Yingsheng room, then glanced at the quilt on the couch where I was sitting, nodded and said: "If the charcoal fire is not enough, or the quilt is not warm enough, just tell the housekeeper."

Yingsheng didn't answer, she leaned towards me.

He didn't hear Yingsheng speak for a long time, the adult sighed softly, looked at Yingsheng seriously, with some sadness in his eyes, "Sheng'er, are you going to ignore daddy all the time like this?"

Ying Sheng bit her lower lip, but still refused to answer.

The lord sighed again, and the atmosphere became solemn again.

In a daze, I noticed that Yingsheng was quietly writing in my palm, and I carefully felt Yingsheng's strokes——Am I... am I being too willful?

I shouldn't have talked about the matter between Master Beak and Ying Sheng, but I also feel uncomfortable seeing Master being sad and seeing Ying Sheng feel guilty.

So, I nodded slightly, handed the cup of hot tea I brought to Yingsheng, gave her a wink, and smiled softly.

The adults looked at me with a bit of astonishment, I could only smile at him with a low eyebrow, and pointed out of the room.

"Huanxi..." Yingsheng called me worriedly.

I shook my head and said don't worry about me, I'll be back soon.

How could Yingsheng not know what I mean?Some things should always be said clearly face to face, and some knots should be resolved face to face.She and the adults are not complicated people, so it is better to have a good chat than complaining to each other like this.

After I closed the door, I rubbed my hands together and leaned against the pillar on one side.

The wind and snow are blowing in my face, I only feel that the world is open tonight, and everywhere I can see, it is all the color of snow.

After the heavy snow, there will always be spring flowers blooming.

Just like Yingsheng and the adults, many years ago, Yingsheng also complained to the adults, but they can always reconcile.

"You helped that bad guy cousin bully me..."

"It's Daddy's fault."

"Huanxi was almost killed by him..."

"Daddy won't let him hurt Huanxi again."

"Ugh..."

I listened to their conversation outside the door, and every sentence seemed familiar.

Laughing dumbfounded, I could only shake my head, my Yingsheng was still a child, so she still cried.

"Sheng'er doesn't cry, everything is wrong with dad, don't cry, don't cry."

"Huanxi was given to me by my father, no one is allowed to steal it from me..."

Suddenly, when I heard Ying Sheng's nonsense, I couldn't help but tighten my heart. In an instant, thousands of apprehensions emerged from the bottom of my heart, making me feel warm and cold.

I can't hear the answer of the adults, and I don't know how the adults are feeling at the moment?

The lord was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Daddy keeps his word. As long as Sheng'er doesn't cry, Daddy promises that no one can take Huanxi away."

"Pull the hook!"

"Okay, pull the hook."

Hearing the final reconciliation between the father and daughter in the room, I couldn't help but tremble. I suddenly realized that I would become a disaster between my lord and Yingsheng——I am in such a position that I may hurt others in the future. My lord, it may also hurt...my Yingsheng.

Cold, drilled from the bottom of my heart, cold through my whole body.

I suddenly feel that this winter is starting to get cold.
