The sky was getting darker, and when the candles were lit in the house, heavy snow began to float again.The silver charcoal is silently burning in the charcoal basin, and the longevity incense is newly burned in the auspicious animal furnace. The sandalwood, milky musk, and benzoin and sand fall, the aroma is stable and soothing, and it is most suitable for lighting with the window slightly open in the dreary, cold, rainy and snowy days. .

Zhaoyu deliberately closed the window for fear of freezing the guests, so the warmth of the fragrance made Zhou Han drowsy.Zhou Han felt impolite, so he pinched the bridge of his nose and walked to the window and opened it. There were lush flowers and trees under the window, so he casually picked the Sajinmei that came over.

Across the flowers and branches came someone walking on the snow, without an umbrella, only wearing a white crane piercing cloud cloak with a dark green collar, with a good appearance.It wasn't until he got closer to Zhou Han that he realized that the person who came was actually Qin Minzhi who had met yesterday at the Ancient Temple of Baoquan in Tai'aguan.

After entering the door, Qin Minzhi untied his cloak and walked over, smiled and stopped his greetings, "I'm rude, I'm sorry, it's my fault for keeping Han Zhi waiting for a long time to fulfill the wish. I have always been on good terms with your uncle, and he often mentioned You, I will know your identity if you give your name. Is Hanzhi surprised?"

"Natural accident. Brother Qin, forgive me. I always thought Lord Qin was Brother Qin's elder. I don't want Brother Qin to be successful at a young age. It's because of my poor eyesight." Zhou Han was surprised to see Qin Shilang's young age. When he came back from the temple, his body was tinged with a very faint smell of white sandalwood heart, as calm and peaceful as a person.

"Hey, don't say that. I saw Han Zhi in the pavilion yesterday, and I couldn't help being stunned. There was only you in my eyes. I mistakenly thought that you were the handsome and immortal gentleman in the story of the little girl crown. Seeing the face of a fairy, Hanzhi is a mortal. If you are blind, am I not blind?" Qin Minzhi was still cold, and he led Zhou Han to sit down, "You and I don't need to see each other, my age with you There is not much difference in age, you can just call me Rong Gu, have you ever eaten?"

Zhou Han nodded, feeling the chill on his body, poured a cup of hot tea instead, "Qin... no, Rong Gu's mansion has taken good care of you, please take care of me."

"Where is there, what should be done." Qin Minzhi took the see-through porcelain cup handed over by Zhou Han, rubbed the slightly hot cup wall with his cold fingertips, and beckoned the boy standing aside, "Fuyan, go and get that set of glazed chess, Mr. Zhou's mother was a national player back then."

Fuyan, who was lazily at the side, suddenly heard Qin Minzhi calling him, quickly answered "yes" a few times, and ran out in a hurry.

Qin Minzhi smiled in a very good mood, "Chunxuan has been well since returning home? When I was an official in the South, I loved eating water chestnuts very much, and new leeks in early spring and late autumn are also delicious. I don't know when I will eat them again." You can eat it. Chuanzuo is a place to raise people.”

"Lao Ronggu is worried. My parents are all well. I would like to ask you to make an appointment. When my father brings spring leeks to my uncle in the spring of this year, I would like to invite Rong Gu to eat spring leeks and shrimp dumplings at his uncle's place." Zhou Han heard Qin Minzhi I have also been to the south, and I took his words, "There are many water chestnuts on the left side of Sichuan, which is a unique taste. When I first went back to my hometown with my mother to visit my grandfather, I saw that every family in the water town had paddy fields, and there were lotus roots and water chestnuts in the fields. Paved in vain on the water. When I was young, I spent the summer at my grandfather’s house, and I could always smell the fragrance of lotus and eat water chestnuts.”

Zhou Han was not unfamiliar with the conversation, Qin Minzhi rubbed his brows and said, "Later, when I was in the capital, I always felt that there was a lack of water when I ate water chestnuts. I brought Hanzhi here today, and I can ask for water chestnuts in the future." I ate it. By the way, I still remember that there is a kind of brown sugar cold cake in Chuanzuo, which is often sold by people pushing carts in summer. I was about eight years old when I ate it for the first time. My aunt went to pay a visit, and Mr. Zhou bought the brown sugar cold cake for me. It’s just that the capital is located in the north, and the cold cake is probably not profitable, so I haven’t seen anyone selling it.”

"I must have been in the capital at that time, and I had never seen Rong Gu." Zhou Han was even more surprised when he learned that Qin Minzhi had been to his home. The brown sugar water of Shengjin Hongji outside Yuchuan Bridge is the most authentic, if you have a chance, please invite Rong Gu to taste it, and see if it has the taste of childhood."

As soon as Qin Minzhi answered the word "yes", the servant Fuyan entered the room with the chessboard and chess basket, and asked Qin Minzhi, "Master, can you put it on the table?"

"Put it on the kang table, by the way, light the candles. Then put out the horn lamp hanging on the door, and then close the door here to warm the inside. We will go there later." Qin Minzhi turned his head and looked inward. House, motioned to Fuyan to put things on the kang table of the red sandalwood marble five-screen couch.

After Fuyan put the things away, she lit the gauze lantern, and extinguished the two lanterns hanging on the door by the way.As soon as the lantern on the door was extinguished, the house became dark, and it was almost dark outside, but there was still some light in the house, and the charcoal fire covered under the copper wire gave off a warm red light.

Qin Minzhi's face was half hidden in the darkness. Seeing Zhou Han rubbing his brows, he said to Fuyan: "Fuyan, you will put out this birthday incense in a while. There is no wind in the house and it is very warm. I have smelled it for a long time. Makes people sleepy."

"Hey, wait a moment, my lord, I'll be right there." Fuyan immediately moved the Ruishou stove out to dump the ashes.

"I don't like having a lot of people at home. If Han Zhi has something to do, I can ask Zhao Yu to take care of it." Qin Minzhi stood up, "I'm not energetic after sitting for a long time, let's go for a walk, and then be enemies around me when I come back?"

Zhou Han gave a "hmm", stood up and prepared to go out with Qin Minzhi.There was no one else in the room, so Qin Minzhi handed over the cloak that he had just taken off and put on the Kui pattern hanger.

"No need." Zhou Han was startled, "My body is very healthy, and I can withstand the cold."

Qin Minzhi didn't take back his hand, "It's warm in the room, it's easy to get cold when you go out suddenly, you just wear it. Master Zhou entrusted you to me, if you are blown uncomfortable when you first come, I will just wear it when he comes back. I can only listen to him chant scriptures in my ear."

"Hahaha, I thought my uncle just liked to talk to me, but it turned out that he liked to talk to everyone." Zhou Han deeply agreed when Qin Minzhi mentioned his uncle's chanting skills, so he took Qin Minzhi's cloak and put it on shoulder.

Between the two of them, Qin Minzhi was only a little taller, and the clothes draped over Zhou Han's shoulders didn't look inappropriate.The cold air in the courtyard was overwhelming, and Qin Minzhi's cloak carried the aroma of white sandalwood heart from the temple, which was even more light and lingering under the cold surroundings, Zhou Han felt very at ease smelling it.

Qin Minzhi sighed suddenly: "I am about the same stature as Hanzhi, that's great...that's great. It would be great if Hanzhi could ride a horse with me to Tanying Temple to collect plum blossoms someday." He said with a smile, " In winter a long time ago, I accompanied King Mengdong to burn incense in Tanying Temple, and I saw a young man who beat horses and picked plums. At that time, I envied him for his happy smile, so I wanted to be friends with him. I knew him, but later I didn't find him. I made a wish in Tanying Temple that year, hoping that he would always be happy, but...it would be better if I saw him smile again. This wish is not selfish, but seeing his smile is beautiful, I read it I am also inexplicably happy.”

Zhou Han nodded and joked, "The plum blossoms in Tanying Temple bloom well, and people come to fold them every year. I also went there to fold plum blossoms when I was young. It's just that after so many years, the plum blossoms in Tanying Temple have not yet grown." I was blinded by tourists. Now that I am in the capital again, I have nothing to do, just call me when Rong Gu has nothing to do."

"Okay." Qin Minzhi brought up other trifles such as the Frost Sky Crane in Qingsi Lake, and Zhou Han answered them one by one.The two chatted like this, stood in the snow and woke up, and went back to the house when it was completely dark.
