After the big guy wears the abusive text

It was winter, and a thin layer of snow fell in Bianjing, which could not be called a white covering, only a white veil was covered on the roof, and a few pieces of white fell from the dry tree branches on the left and right sides of Yujie Street. When the cold wind blows, the snow Dispersed like fog again.

From time to time, some silver particles floated in the air, hitting people's faces with pain.

Few people walked on the street in such weather, only a few carriages ran over the thin snow alone, leaving a rut, turned a corner in the street, and stopped under the brand-new plaque beside it.

The gold-plated Zhoufu word is clearly printed on it, reflecting the sky light and shining brightly.

"Zhou Shaoqing, this is the joy of housewarming, why don't you invite a few colleagues to sit in?" Another carriage opened the thickened curtain and smiled while holding a hand stove.

"Another day, another day!" Zhou Hong jumped out of the carriage, stomped his feet in the cold, and waved at them.

"I think you're just stopping me from meeting Lingmei!" the young man teased.

Zhou Hong chuckled and drove away with both hands: "What are you talking about! There is no good wine or food at home. We will go to Jinlingzhai tomorrow and treat everyone well."

Those people knew that he would not agree, so they talked and laughed a few words back and forth, took their leave and left.

The snow seemed to be falling heavily, and there was snow on the ground. Zhou Hong exhaled a breath of white air, put his hands in his armholes, and signaled the guards on the side to open the door.

Ci Ke has become more and more silent in the past two years, sometimes sitting in the courtyard without moving for a whole day, Zhou Hong felt distressed seeing it, so he changed the original old house, thinking to make her fresh and fresh, so as to forget the past events in the old house.

Although the new mansion was a bit smaller, it had all internal organs, and it was enough for the two of them, brother and sister.

"The master is going down." A maidservant with a bun on the side held up an umbrella to block the snowflakes on her head, followed Zhou Hong through the porch and walked to the courtyard in small steps, "It's colder these days than in previous years. Wear more."

"Yes, I almost didn't freeze my nose this morning." Zhou Hong put his hand to his mouth to warm it, and strode across the rockery. short trace.

"Where's the girl?" Zhou Hong asked.

The maid looked away and replied in a low voice: "I got up early in the morning and was playing the pipa in the pavilion in the garden. Some of us persuaded her, but the girl didn't listen, and I dare not say more."

Zhou Hong clicked his tongue, took the umbrella from the handmaid's hand, and walked to the garden alone.

The garden in winter has no other colors. The lake is frozen and frozen hard. A woman is sitting in a pavilion by the lake, wrapped in a snow-white fur cloak, her dark hair is coiled behind her, her eyebrows and eyes are exposed.

When she lowered her eyes, her face was like a white peach, and her eyes were like glass, but when she raised her eyes to look at Zhou Hong, those upturned eyes made people feel a little palpitating.

Zhou Hong couldn't help slowing down, walked to her side, reached for the pipa in her arms which was freezing cold, but fortunately Ci Ke didn't refuse, and let him take it.

"I'm back." Ci Ke said.

"It's really cold today, Your Majesty..." Seeing Ci Ke's eyes changed for a moment, he quickly changed his words, "The Emperor also thinks that the Wende Palace's fire is not busy, so it went down a little earlier."

Ci Ke didn't show any expression, just hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Little sister, it's cold outside, let's go back to the house to warm up first?" Zhou Hong cautiously asked for advice.

Ci Ke hummed, got up and shook off the snow blown into the pavilion by the wind, walked out of the pavilion slowly, and walked out of the garden along the clean path, Zhou Hong held an umbrella for her.

"Is there no news from her yet?" Ci Ke suddenly asked, his slender five fingers flushed from the cold grabbed the edge of the cloak to block his body.

Zhou Hong sighed, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Ci Ke, it's been two years, you..."

"Did you find Pei Ning?" Ci Ke interrupted him.

"Pei Ning has a great reputation in Jiangning Mansion and seems to have connections with the local government, so it's not hard to find." Zhou Hong bowed his head, "But, but Pei Ning also said that he has never seen Miss Ye in the past two years, only with you Same, received a few letters."

"I said wait for her to look for me, but in the end I couldn't help it." Ci Ke satirized himself in a low voice, stopped, looked back at the gate in the distance, and murmured, "And even if it's a letter, she still has two months." never wrote."

She touched her chest, where there were several thin sheets of paper, each page of which had been read hundreds of times.

"Ci Ke, you also said that the handwriting of the letter..." Zhou Hong couldn't help scratching his ears and cheeks, and couldn't see his sister's daily sorrow, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "That handwriting is not Miss Ye's at all."

"She wrote in her letter that she was injured and could not write." Ci Ke said word by word.

"But it's been so long, she hasn't shown her face, what can a few letters explain, and it's not her handwriting, and the content has been vague!" Zhou Hong couldn't help raising her voice, "Maybe she has already..."

"She asked me to wait for her!" Ci Ke suddenly turned his head, his shoulders trembled slightly, his lips with lipstick were more gorgeous than Lamei, "She said every letter, if she didn't write it, why would she want me to wait? "

Shocked by her sudden sharp words, Zhou Hong took a step back, raised his hands in front of him, suppressed his emotions forcibly, and said slowly: "Ci Ke, you are too young to marry, and you have been proposed several times, and those men will have accidents the next day." , either fell off the horse and broke his leg, or was arrested by the government for committing a crime, even the emperor personally bestowed a marriage."

"I know it was all done by you, but now it has spread in Beijing, saying that you are the fate of Kefu, the lonely star of the gods, and that you have ruined your reputation so much. If Miss Ye comes back, it's okay. If she doesn't come back, brother Wan Once you die, who will protect you?" Zhou Hong persuaded earnestly.

"I don't need other people's protection, I just want her." Ci Ke's voice was not calm, and he spoke very fast, "I will wait if she asks me to wait for two years, and I will wait if she asks me to wait for three years."

"Even if I wait until I'm old and withered, I'll wait." After finishing speaking, she pushed away the umbrella that Zhou Hong had covered her, turned and walked towards the door.

Zhou Hong slapped himself on the mouth, and hurried to catch up: "Ci Ke! Where are you going?"

"Enter the palace." Ci Ke said coldly.

"Don't go looking for the prince in the palace again! Now the rumors are raging, what if...you are not like your aunt!" Zhou Hong stopped the door that was about to close, and shouted with his voice in his throat.

Seeing that Ci Ke ignored him, Zhou Hong had no choice but to give up and raised the umbrella in his hand: "At least hold an umbrella!"

At some point, the snow was as big as fluttering catkins, and it fell on people's shoulders. The back of the woman in front of her was swaying, wrapped in a fur cloak alone, and quickly disappeared into the wind and snow.

This year's weather is also unknown. It has been snowing intermittently for a month. It didn't stop until the end of winter.

The water on the ground was trampled by people and turned into mud, nourishing the frozen land throughout the winter.

In the south, the winter plum blossoms are just beginning to bloom, a tree is fragrant and snowy, and fallen flowers mixed with rain and snow fall into the river, floating away.

The waters of the Huai River are surging, emerald flowers are everywhere, smoke cages are cold and sandy, there are many restaurants on both sides of the long river, and pipa minor tunes are heard in the ears, making people drunk without drinking.

Girls from various families couldn't wait for the spring day, and had already put on spring dresses, shivering in the cold wind, but they still didn't forget to admire the plum blossoms by the river, chatting and laughing non-stop.

Among the crowd, a slender woman was particularly eye-catching. She was wearing a winter coat with a thick cloak on her shoulders, but she didn't look bloated, which showed how thin she was.

But fortunately, he was flexible, walking on the shoulder-to-heel road without bumping into anyone else.

She walked to the door of a restaurant with a yellow flag, looked up, and then stepped in. The stove was lit in the shop, which was warm and filled with the smell of shochu.

"Guest officer, please!" Xiaoer helped her take her cloak, bent down and invited her upstairs. Here along the river, you can overlook the rolling Huai River. Some merchant ships go down the river, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

The woman sat down by the window, coughed twice, showing a pale face.

The phoenix eyes are crystal clear, like ice at a shallow glance, the flesh on the face is less, the jaw is as clear as the outline of graphite, except for the eyes, the rest is a bit ordinary.

"A glass of warm wine, thank you." She said softly, and smiled at the little girl.

When the wine was served, the person she was waiting for also came. He twisted his waist and walked across to her, pulled out the chair and sat down, with a charming smile, red nails painted, and frowning at her.

"Miss Ye?" Pei Ning asked hesitantly.

Ye Youqing put his index finger to his lips, and wrote a few words on the table. Pei Ning's smoke flowed, and he pursed his bright red lips and said with a smile: "It's Miss Chen, I'm sorry."

"Where has Miss Chen been all these years, why does she look so much thinner?" Pei Ning asked in a low voice, looking at the change on Ye Youqing's face.

"I was in the north before, but I went south this year, and I just came to Jiangning mansion recently." Ye Youqing replied in a warm voice.

"The army in the north is now in disorder, and the Qi army has no vigor, and they are retreating steadily. People can't wait to flee to the south. It's just that many places don't accept refugees, and I don't know what to guard against. In addition, this winter is cold, and it is said that they will freeze to death. Many people."

Pei Ning smiled, and moved her face closer, "By the way, someone came looking for you a month ago, saying that the master's surname was Zhou, but I didn't know anything about you at that time, so I didn't say anything."

Ye Youqing squeezed the wine glass tightly with his left hand, and couldn't help coughing again.

Pei Ning hurriedly stepped forward to pat her on the back, with a bit of worry in his eyes: "What's the matter, your body looks so bad."

"It's okay, it's just an old injury, and it's almost healed now." Ye Youqing waved his hand and chuckled.

"Now I'm being stared at, I can't say a few words." Ye Youqing didn't look around, but stared at the wine glass and said.

Pei Ning also held back his gaze, patted her on the back, and returned to his seat: "What do you need?"

"Tales of silver." Ye Youqing said, dipping his left hand in water to write a number on the table. Pei Ning looked a little surprised, but soon calmed down.

"Okay, I'll make preparations when I go back. I haven't heard from you in these years. I will ask Ma Er to store all the money in the bank." Pei Ning whispered.

"Thank you." Ye Youqing said.

"This is yours." Pei Ning said, "It's just that you want so much money, why?"

Ye Youqing shook his head: "Now I'm being watched closely, the money can't come from me, so I can only find you. As for what it's used for, it's better that you don't know."

Pei Ning nodded with a vague understanding.

"Then what's your next step?" Pei Ning asked.

Ye Youqing took a sip of the wine, and the eyes suddenly melted like Xuanbing: "Go to Bianjing."

"Bianjing?" Pei Ning almost called out, she pulled Ye Youqing's right hand that had been hanging down, but saw the shoulders of the woman in front of her tremble, and quickly withdrew her hand, "Bianjing is too dangerous for you! "

"Don't worry, even if the emperor knows who I am now, he won't dare to touch me." Ye Youqing said, "Besides, I was invited as Miss Chen."

"Moreover. If I don't see her again, I'm afraid she really doesn't want me." Ye Youqing looked out the window at the rolling river and the distant dark mountains, and said softly.
