The people waiting outside were already busy. Three or five people went to the kitchen to fetch hot water with wooden buckets, one to prepare a large bucket for bathing, and some to prepare aromatherapy, salt, and towels.

They have done this kind of thing countless times, so once they got the order this time, they immediately acted with high efficiency. After a while, they prepared all the bathing utensils and put them in the inner room of Fu Zhaoling's boudoir. .

The servants were all wearing thick black padded jackets. As soon as they stepped into Fu Zhaoling's boudoir, they didn't dare to look sideways, and walked forward with their heads down. I told you, when I opened the door and went out, it was the twelfth lunar month of winter and the world of ice and snow.

They have long been used to this, seeing the great wealth of their masters, but they themselves are poor and driven by others, but they also understand that the General's Mansion is the mansion with the highest salary in the entire capital, and they are paid three times a month.

If you do well, there will be rewards. The wives and young masters and ladies in each room are not stingy people. Compared with other first-rank officials in the same dynasty, this is already a full [-]% more. What's wrong with them? satisfied?

After Fu Zhaoling took a bath, he ordered the girl Mei Xiang to open the window. Mei Xiang responded, but she didn't dare to open it too much for fear that her lady would catch a cold, so she only opened it a small crack.

Fu Zhaoling knew Mei Xiang's intentions, so he didn't make things difficult for her, so he walked to the window, looked out from the small gap, and indeed saw the pure white wrapped in silver and white.

The sky is high and the earth is wide, the world has fallen into a silence, no one disturbs.

Looking straight ahead from her position, she could just see the tip of a rockery exposed behind four or five green brick houses. Unexpectedly, the rockery was bare on weekdays. After a night of heavy snow decoration, the rockery was covered with white snow. Bai Xue, looking at it this way, the exposed tip of the rockery actually looks like a little kid wearing a white velvet hat, looking out with his head poked out, adding a touch of cuteness.

The servants of Diao Lan Yuan came in and out quietly, and occasionally opened the large wooden door of Diao Lan Yuan painted with vermilion lacquer, and Fu Zhaoling could take the opportunity to see a few figures busy on the lake a hundred meters away. Looking for something, they played and chased each other from time to time, all looking happy.

She looked at it for a while, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth unconsciously, thinking, probably her brothers were digging ice for fishing again.

On weekdays, the sons and daughters are busy, so it is rare to get together to have fun like today, and thanks to Fu Mingyin taking one day out of every month to spend time with his children, otherwise, if she wanted to meet the elders in the mansion, she would have few chances.

In the four seasons of the year, Fu Zhaoling likes winter the most. In her opinion, the white snow in winter is free and easy, falling from the sky, which is enough to hide the darkest things in the world. This is already the greatest gift from heaven.

It's just cold and windy in winter, and she was wearing thin clothes. After standing for a while, she coughed a few times. The girl Meixiang came in with a basin of steaming hot water. Put the hot water on the basin rack, persuaded: "Miss, it's freezing cold, you still..."

She looked over with a faint look, obviously a tepid look, but Mei Xiang immediately fell silent, stuck out her tongue, and didn't dare to persuade her anymore, turned around and went to the hanger to get a fox fur cloak for Fu Zhaoling.

Since the young lady couldn't persuade her, the only way to minimize the damage was to prevent her from catching a cold, Mei Xiang thought, she had already taken off the cloak and put it on for her young lady.

Knowing that she had good intentions, Fu Zhaoling let her be busy.

Fu Zhaoling looked out of the window for a while and lost her mind. It wasn't until the young masters on the lake left with the barrels in their hands that she lightly ordered, "Mei Xiang, close the window."

"Hey, Miss."

Mei Xiang responded, quickly closed the window, rubbed her hands, it was really cold, and she couldn't help complaining in her heart, what kind of habit does my lady have, why does she open the window every time it snows, The heat that had finally accumulated in the room was now scattered again.

At this time, the servants had already prepared the cakes for breakfast. She ate two mouthfuls of peach blossom cakes, but she felt a little tired, so she stopped eating.

Today is the second day of this month. My father is usually busy with government affairs and has no extra time to take care of his children. He has to go to court on the first day of each month, so he set aside the second day of each month to spend time with his children. Eat to show intimacy.

So today the kitchen did not deliver the main meal as in the past, but a few plates of snacks, telling her to fill her stomach first so that she would not be too hungry before eating with the general.

"Miss San, Lord Fifteen is here."

As soon as the servants at the door finished reporting, they saw a child in a brocade cap and fine attire jumping into the room. The child was about six or seven years old, like a porcelain doll made of jade. Very delicate, he is completely different from Fu Zhaoling's coldness, his eyes are full of liveliness and agility in the blink of an eye.

When he ran in front of Fu Zhaoling, he pretended to be an adult, stretched out his little hand hidden in his sleeve, clasped his fists and saluted, "My brother greets sister Zhaoling, and my sister can use the snacks brought by my father." gone?"

Fu Zhaoling looked at his younger brother who was pretending to be a little adult, and he was naturally indescribably happy, and said with a smile: "I've already used it, and there are some left on the table, have you used it? If you haven't used it, eat some Bar."

The little boy Fu Quan stood on tiptoe, leaned close to Fu Zhaoling's ear, and said with a mysterious smile: "The snacks my father sent are not delicious at all, so I don't want them. Sister Zhaoling, let's go to the back garden to see them. Plum blossoms, they said they opened a lot of strings."

Fu Zhaoling bit the words: "Looking at Mei? You, a monkey, actually like the elegant things of literati?"

Fu Quan replied in a spirited manner: "Sir, plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, plums rank first, and gentlemen must love them."

Fu Zhaoling stretched out his index finger and nodded his head lightly, shaking his little head three times: "You, I don't know who this ghost looks like?"

Mei Xiang, who was on the side, covered her mouth, giggled, and told the truth: "Our fifteenth master, I am afraid that he is the gentleman who likes to play snowballs the most in the whole week."

Seeing that his sister and Mei Xiang canceled him together, the young master Fu Quan was not angry, so he turned his little face and said with a smile: "Brothers can go fishing on the frozen lake, why can't I play snowballs?" Is it? If the elder brothers take me to play together, I won’t look down on mere Snowball! Huh, you guys only bully me, I’m going to sue my father during lunch time!”

6. After-dinner turmoil...

Shu land, Donglu village.

Su Qiqi woke up, Su Yun'er was still sleeping with her head covered.

She came to the main room of the north house alone, and had breakfast with her parents, grandma and elder brother.

At this time, it was already dawn, mother Du took a look outside the door, and then her eyes fell on the West Room where Su Yuner was. Thinking of her daughter's marriage, she sighed again after being depressed all night.

It would be a lie to say that there is no grievance. My own child who was like a baby was divorced, and the old Tao family who divorced said that he was in such a bad state. Who would not be angry if this matter was left on him?

Originally, the girl from my family suffered a great grievance, so she couldn't just forget about it casually, but the son of the old Tao family suddenly became a scholar, and he was the only scholar in ten miles and eight towns. The Su family is a lot taller, so the Su family can't afford to mess with it.

So even if there is a grievance, you can only swallow it in your stomach!This is the reason for knocking out teeth and mixing blood swallowing.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Du sighed again. She is old, so it's okay to feel wronged, but she knows Su Yun'er's temperament best as a mother.Her little daughter is impatient and cannot bear to be wronged.

Although the Su family is poor, the family loves this youngest daughter very much, so even though they are not rich, they have cultivated her to be arrogant and self-indulgent.What's more, on weekdays, the whole family coaxes Su Yun'er on top of their hearts, so how can they see her suffer such grievances?

At the dinner table, the whole family was unhappy, and no one spoke in a tacit understanding.After finishing the meal, Su Qiqi stood up, took the initiative to put away the bowls and chopsticks, piled up the porcelain bowls where the family had eaten porridge, put away the chopsticks together, and walked to the sink next to the well in the middle of the yard.

Before leaving, he said to Mrs. Du: "Mother, I won't wash the pot for now, and save the rest of the rice for Yun Meier."

Du Shi just responded, feeling depressed and didn't want to talk more.

Su Qiqi knew that Du Shi was sullen. Although she had already thought of a way to vent her anger on Su Yun'er, she couldn't do it immediately within three to five days. Besides, if she wanted to get back the face of the Su family with Tao Xiucai, The key still depends on Su Yun'er herself, so there is no rush for this matter.

"Mother, when Meier Yun wakes up, take out the rice dumpling left in the pot and give it to her. I'll wash the dishes first."

Du said sullenly: "This girl just told me that she doesn't want to eat anything."

Su Qiqi paused in her heart, and said in relief: "Mother, don't worry, I'll go and persuade her after I finish my work."

Du Shi didn't speak, it was acquiescence, Su Qiqi went out of the room, came to the well, threw all the bowls and chopsticks into the sink, and poured half a ladle of water into it.

Now is the year of severe drought, and the idea of ​​"conserving water" has long been rooted in Su Qiqi's heart. She clearly knows that in a certain corner in the north of Shu Kingdom, there are countless people fighting for a sip of water. She is already very grateful that God has not completely cut off the water source of Donglu Village, so how can she not cherish it?

Su Qiqi stood up,
