One year later, Wang's house

"Shuisheng, eldest sister, second sister, how are you? Didn't you see Chunsheng?" Shuisheng and the other two had just returned from the dock when Wang came to greet them.

Mrs. Lu also hurried over to greet him: "Yes, Shuisheng, where's Chunsheng? Didn't you pick him up again?"

Shuisheng shook his head: "Mom, Aunt Wang, we looked at all the passenger ships coming to Wangtian County today, but we didn't see my brother."

"Yes, it's getting dark, and the people at the dock said that there won't be any more ships coming today, so we're coming back first," the second sister replied, looking up at the sky.

The eldest sister curled her lips and said, "The day after tomorrow is the Little New Year. Chunsheng should be back by now." Then she frowned slightly and said, "It's okay if he comes back late. I'm just worried if something happens on the way."

"Oh, isn't it, elder sister? You and aunt are thinking the same thing." After hearing this, Lu also frowned slightly:

"According to the date Chunsheng mentioned in the letter, it should have arrived two days ago. Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

"It's getting closer to the end of the year, and the outside world is getting more chaotic. The capital is so far away from our Wangtian County. It's really worrying!"

Wang Yugui laughed after hearing this: "Aunt Lu, sister, you guys are just too concerned and confused."

"Don't worry, Chunsheng is coming back with Mr. Zhou and his wife this time."

"Mr. Ling specially sent a boat to pick them up. The Ling family's boat is used to sailing by water."

"I'm familiar with both the black and white worlds, so I'm sure nothing will happen on the road!"

"Yes, Aunt Lu, Sister, you worry too much." Miss Tan also laughed after hearing this: "As long as the ships passing by are marked with the name of the Ling Mansion, no thieves will dare to disturb them!"

"Yes, it's common for ships to be delayed for a day or two when traveling outside." Wang nodded and comforted Lu: "Aunt Lu, don't worry too much. Let's wait a little longer."

Then he looked at his eldest sister and said, "Big sister, just go to the dock to pick up Chunsheng tomorrow!"

"Yes, mother, I understand." The eldest sister smiled and nodded.

Wang Yugui also smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's stop standing outside, let's go back inside and sit down to prepare for dinner!"

"Yes, yes, come in," Wang smiled and invited everyone in.

Miss Tan called Abao: "Abao, go and get the kitchen ready for dinner!"

"Yes," Po agreed and went to the kitchen.

A Lian made a pot of hot tea and brought it over, and everyone sat down in the main hall to drink tea.

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew by, and Wang Yugui and everyone else felt a chill.

Wang said, "Oh, the wind is blowing, A-Lian, please close the door!"

"Okay, ma'am," A-Lian agreed and hurried to close the main hall door.

Lu frowned slightly and said to Wang, "Aunt Wang, I think the wind is blowing very coldly, it looks like it's going to snow!"

Before Wang could say anything, she heard her second sister say, "Ah, Aunt Lu, you said the same thing as the master at the dock."

"The master at the dock also said that it might snow in the next two days!"

"Oh, is that so?" Mrs. Lu frowned even more tightly after hearing this: "Oh, will that delay Chunsheng's return?"

"Aunt Lu, as long as the river is not frozen, boats can travel normally. You don't have to worry too much," Wang Yugui said hurriedly.

He laughed again and said, "I guess Chunsheng should have at least reached Huaizhou by now."

"When he arrives in Huaizhou, he will probably go ashore to meet the prefect, Lord Zhai, and the academician, Lord Liu."

"Lord Zhou and Master Ling also want to see him, so this will delay us for a day or two."

"We will definitely reach Wangtian County tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest!"

"Well, you are right, brother." Miss Tan smiled at Wang Yugui.

Shuisheng also laughed: "Sister-in-law, Brother Yugui is not only good at predicting things, he knows my brother too well!"

"Ha, Brother Shuisheng, I know this. My brother and Brother Chunsheng are so in tune with each other," the second sister quickly replied.

The eldest sister listened and looked at her and laughed: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"What's wrong? Sister, am I wrong?" The second sister looked at the eldest sister with her big eyes blinking: "I read that in the book."

"Ha, second sister, you are reading the wrong book. You and Shuisheng are the ones who are in perfect sync with each other." Miss Tan also smiled at the second sister.

After hearing this, the second sister turned to look at Shuisheng: "Brother Shuisheng, is that so?"

Shuisheng was speechless and smiled embarrassedly: "Yes! You, even you only understand half of what you read!"

"Our second sister is impatient, but she is also very courageous. Although she only understands a little bit of what she has read, she dares to use words, haha." Wang Yugui joked with his second sister.

The second sister looked at Wang Yugui and smiled innocently: "Brother, why do I feel that what you said doesn't sound like a compliment to me? I call this learning and applying it in practice. You don't understand, hehe!"

As he spoke, he winked at Wang Yugui and Miss Tan: "I know that you and sister-in-law are also in tune with each other!"

"Oh, we were all fooled by the second sister. We thought she used the wrong words, but it turns out she is really wise and foolish." The eldest sister was very happy when she heard this.

Shuisheng, Wang Yugui and Miss Tan all laughed after hearing this. Although Wang and Lu didn't quite understand what they said, when they saw them laughing, they also laughed.

Wang laughed and said, "Oh, Gui'er, what book are you talking about? Your Aunt Lu and I don't understand!"

"Ha, Mom, we are just talking about this," Wang Yugui laughed.

Everyone was talking and laughing, when suddenly, Ah Huang called out "Wang, Wang, Wang" three times and rushed out the door.

Wang Yugui was startled: "Why did Ah Huang suddenly scream?"

The second sister hurried over and opened the door. She was surprised and said, "Oh, Mom, brother, sister, sister-in-law, Aunt Lu, Brother Shuisheng, come and see, it's snowing!"

After hearing this, everyone rushed to the door and looked into the yard. Sure enough, white snowflakes were floating in the sky.

"It's really snowing," Wang sighed, and Lu also sighed: "Yeah, I didn't expect it to snow as soon as I said it would!"

"Hey, it's snowing, will the river freeze?" The eldest sister looked at the falling snow and was a little worried.

Wang Yugui smiled and said, "Big sister, that's not necessarily the case. When it snows, it's not the coldest time."

“It’s the coldest when the snow melts!”

"Really?" The eldest sister looked at Wang Yugui, and Wang smiled: "Yes, your brother is right. Haven't you heard the old people often say that it's cold before frost and cold after snow!"

"Yes, that's the truth. It's much colder when the snow melts than when it snows." Lu also nodded.

The second sister heard this and looked at Wang Yugui: "Brother, why is this?"

"This..." Wang Yugui hesitated when he heard the question. This is a classic junior high school physics question. How can he explain it to the ancients?

Wang Yugui was just hesitating when Shuisheng spoke up: "Second sister, don't you understand this?"

"It takes heat to melt the snow. If the heat is gone, it will get even colder!"

Wang Yugui laughed when he heard it. Shuisheng's general explanation was fine. It saved him the trouble. He nodded quickly and said, "Yes, that's right, that's it!"

Everyone was watching Xue and talking when suddenly, the housekeeper Fu Bo came over with a smile and shouted from a distance, "Madam, Master, Miss, look, who's back!"

When everyone looked forward, they were stunned to see a handsome young man in a green robe walking towards them with a smile.

"Brother Chunsheng" the eldest sister was the first to call out
