Snow in Chang'an in December

?There has been heavy snowfall in the city for several days, and now it is the Chinese New Year. The city of Chang'an, which should be lively, is actually not as lively as it used to be.After dinner tonight, Shen Zixu ordered someone to prepare a carriage. Shen Ningfeng was overjoyed when he heard that he was going out with him, and when he returned to his room, he grabbed a snow-white fur collar and wrapped it around his neck.

The carriage moved slowly, Shen Zixu raised his hand and lightly lifted the curtain, and saw passers-by hurriedly leaving, and several shops were still open, Shen Zixu also didn't know how to go in this cold weather?It's better to stay in the mansion to read and paint.

"Brother." Shen Ningfeng tugged on Shen Zixu's sleeve lightly, Shen Zixu turned his face, and saw Shen Ningfeng's face was full of flattering smiles, Shen Zixu was annoyed for a while, he waved away the hand that was holding his wrist, then turned his face, and turned his face again The curtains are lifted.

terribly upset.

He didn't know what his younger brother was thinking, if it was just brotherhood, it would be fine, but why... He didn't want to think about it anymore, the more he thought about it, the more upset he became.

"Feng'er hopes that you will be safe forever." While speaking, he stuffed something into Shen Zixu's hands.Shen Zixu was startled when he heard the words, then looked down at the thing in his hand, it was just a safe knot.

"Woo—" the car stopped.

Shen Ningfeng helped Shen Zixu out of the car slowly, seeing that Shen Zixu was still indifferent, he still felt a little uncomfortable, Shen Zixu suddenly invited himself out today, he should be happy, but seeing his expression now, he is smiling I can't laugh either.

Walking silently all the way, Shen Ningfeng helped Shen Zixu to walk slowly, Shen Zixu said he had a headache soon after he left, Shen Ningfeng felt flustered when he heard him say that he had a headache, he quietly and carefully took him into his arms, and then I want to go back to Shen's residence.This way back to the mansion, he passed through the brothel, he was a frequent visitor there, which girl in the building didn't know him?

When the girl upstairs saw him passing by, she shook her handkerchief and called "Little Master Shen" with a smile. Shen Ningfeng raised his head and stared at them. Sullen, her bloodless thin lips were trembling slightly.

"Brother, I..."

"Have you forgotten everything your father taught you in the early years?" The tone was very angry.

"Brother, don't be angry, I...I..." Shen Ningfeng felt guilty for a while, the more he talked, the more he didn't know what to do, so he had to lower his head and let him go.

When Shen Zixu heard the words, he wanted to answer, but unexpectedly he coughed lightly, his thin body swayed in the cold wind, Shen Ningfeng wanted to reach out to help him, but the man pushed his hand away stubbornly.

"Brother, it's Feng'er's fault, don't be angry with yourself, Feng'er, please..." Shen Ningfeng knew that he was a rigid person, so he must be puzzled, but... no matter what, he loves you the most. Shen Zixu is still the one.

"Cough cough... If you don't get punished, you won't listen to it, cough cough cough..."

Shen Ningfeng didn't say a word, just watched him walk away with his sleeves up, and he walked hurriedly on the way back to the residence, Shen Ningfeng followed behind with his head bowed, only feeling slightly regretful.The Ping An Knot is still in Shen Zixu's hands, Shen Zixu didn't feel anything wrong at the beginning, but the longer he held it, the more he felt it was bad.

There are dozens of winter plums planted in the courtyard of Shen's mansion, and there is also a lotus pond. If the lotus blooms in the distance in summer, you will see the pond full of pink lotus swaying in the wind.Shen Zixu stood in front of the lotus pond and thought for a long time, Shen Ningfeng looked at him quietly, then lowered his head again.

Suddenly hearing a "plop" sound of falling into the water, Shen Ningfeng raised his head immediately, and saw that Shen Zixu was standing with his hands behind his back, and he felt that Shen Zixu was getting thinner and thinner in the blue lotus-colored clothes. He was a little uneasy, not knowing that Shen Zixu had been thrown into the pool What is in it.Shen Ningfeng timidly took a few steps forward, being so careful, he was just afraid of offending that person again.

He probed towards the lotus pond, the mud in the pond was mixed with water, and there was no moonlight tonight, so he couldn't see clearly. He felt more and more uneasy in his heart, so he asked, "Brother, what about the peace knot..."

"Throw it away." The tone was indifferent.

"Why...?" Shen Ning closed his eyes, only covering his eyes with bitterness.

"Shen Ningfeng! I'm your elder brother!"

Shen Ningfeng...

When had he ever heard him call himself in such an indifferent and alienated tone.

The corners of Shen Ningfeng's lips were slightly raised, with a bitter smile, he just nodded in response, without saying a word, Shen Zixu also didn't want to pay attention to him, turned his face and glanced at him, and said: "If you really know that you are wrong, then kneel here."

"Brother, I like you, what's wrong?" Shen Ningfeng smiled wryly, feeling more and more uncomfortable in his heart, like a needle prick.

Shen Zixu heard the words, then pursed his thin lips lightly, and after a while, he finally responded: "I will ignore your future affairs, and I will not ask any questions."

It would end up like this... Now Shen Ningfeng only felt that if he died, he would not feel so uncomfortable in his heart. He watched the green lotus color go farther and farther, and watched his thin body lighten in the cold wind. Trembling, Shen Ningfeng raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, then knelt down on the white snow. After kneeling for a while, the thin snow on the ground turned into cold water and soaked the fabric of Shen Ningfeng's knees.

After kneeling for a long time, his knees were already numb and aching. Shen Ningfeng shook his head when he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark. He saw that the sky was getting whiter. It was already daytime, and his coat was covered with fine snow. , Some have turned into cold water, soaking through the clothes.

"Second Young Master!?" Jin Xu exclaimed in amazement while serving tea.

"Jinxu?" Shen Ning smiled.

"Why is the Second Young Master kneeling here?" Jinxu hurriedly put the tea in his hand on the table next to him, and then stepped forward to help Shen Ningfeng up, but Shen Ningfeng didn't want to, she was already Weak and weak, his strength is naturally no match for Shen Ningfeng, so he gave up, and only blamed: "The cold and snow are piercing through the bones, I am afraid that I will die of pain when I get old."

Shen Ning was silent.

Seeing that Shen Ningfeng remained silent, Jinxu stepped forward again to help him up, but Shen Ningfeng shook his head and stretched out his hand to refuse, "Don't bother me."

Although Jinxu was full of worries, but knowing his temperament, he ignored him as he said, picked up the tea on the table by himself, saluted and left.

Unexpectedly, not long after Jinxu left, Shen Zixu came here. He was being helped by a young servant, still wearing the green lotus-colored clothes, still having that indifferent expression, Shen Ningfeng was startled, then lowered his head, quietly I moved my knees, but I didn't feel it for a long time.

"Feng'er, you know your mistake, so just get up." Shen Zixu's tone was very gentle.

Shen Ningfeng didn't say a word, just let the little servant help him up, and as soon as he stood up, he felt pain in his knees, he almost fell down, Shen Zixu's expression changed immediately, he stretched out his hand to help him, Shen Ning sealed his eyes Looking at Shen Zixu with slight joy, unexpectedly he turned away as soon as he met Shen Ningfeng's eyes.

Shen Ningfeng knew this early on, so he had nothing to say, let the boy help him back to the room to rest, Shen Zixu stood with his hands behind his back, the cold wind was still blowing, only brushing his black hair, a lot of snow had already fallen The dead branches of winter plums can be seen from a distance, only a little red.

He couldn't help but recall what his mother said in the past, the coldest thing in the world is fate.
