After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

The first snow this winter came suddenly.

Early in the morning, when Li Tan just woke up from his sleep, when he opened his eyes, he felt that the outside of the window seemed to be brighter than usual.

After changing clothes and pushing open the door, I saw that the ground in the courtyard had been covered with a thin layer of white, the snowflakes floating all over the sky were not big, and the color of the soil could still be vaguely exposed on the ground.

A few days ago, Li Wenning also said that he planned to go to the nunnery outside Chang'an City to offer incense with Liutan today, but unexpectedly, it snowed today. Know if it still works...

Since Zhang Liangdi entered the door, she has always been witty and quick-talking, and she is quite liked by Prince Li Heng. In the entire East Palace, the original depression and silence were suddenly swept away, and it seemed that many people's minds became active again.

After leaving his own yard, Li Tan walked all the way towards Li Wenning's residence. The soft snowflakes fell on his cheeks and melted into a cool mist in an instant, which immediately lifted people's spirits.

Seeing his figure, the palace maid next to Li Wenning rushed up to greet him, and whispered softly: "The Princess hastily left the door early in the morning, and the maid only said that the weather is not good today, so it is not suitable to go out. The Princess looked at the sky , I don't think it's a problem, I just said that I will leave early and return early..."

Hearing this, Li Tan raised his head subconsciously, frowned slightly, and looked towards the sky.

The sky is also gray, but it doesn't have the denseness of black clouds overwhelming the city, but it reveals a kind of boundlessness unique to winter snowy days.

Although tiny snowflakes were falling all the time, the wind outside was not strong. Just looking at the sky, it did not look like there would be a blizzard. Thinking of this, Li Tan nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions. up.

As Zhang Liangdi gained more and more favor from Prince Li Heng, there was indeed a tacit understanding between Donggong and Concubine Yang, although it was not stated clearly.

Because of the previous events, Prince Li Heng became more and more cautious in his actions, and he was careful everywhere on weekdays, lest he might make a mistake by even half a step.

On the contrary, Concubine Yang's natal family acted unscrupulously. Prince Li Heng of the East Palace naturally didn't want to say much about it, but he was definitely dissatisfied in his heart.

Fortunately, this time it is mainly because of the ambiguity between Li Wenning and Liu Tan. The Yang family is only related by in-laws, and Liu Tan, who was born in the Liu family in Hedong, is quite restrained, not like the Yang family. It is so eye-catching, so that such a happy event can be considered reliable, so that the two parties just show some intention of getting married, and then it is known to everyone, and a good happy event becomes a joke in the eyes of others...

After learning that his elder sister Li Wenning had gone out, Li Tan didn't need to stay long, so he turned around and went back to his yard.

At the same time, outside Chang'an City, Li Wenning, wearing a hood and a cloak, was riding a horse with a snowflake on his body.

She was looking up and looking for Liu Tan's trace, but she heard someone sticking her head out of a carriage on the side of the road and shouting in concern: "Princess!"

Li Wenning only showed a small half of his face, and a hint of surprise appeared involuntarily.

Hearing Liu Tan's voice, Li Wenning rode over directly, his breath seemed to be filled with white mist, and said softly, "Liu Tan?"

Liu Tan directly jumped out of the carriage, stretched out his hand and stuffed a hand warmer into Li Wenning's hand very naturally, "It's snowing today, and the weather is also cold, you warm up first."

"..." Li Wenning rode on the horse, holding the rein lightly with one hand, and holding the hand warmer in the other. He was stunned for a moment, and then got off the horse.

A smile flashed quickly in Liu Tan's eyes, and he suggested a bit shyly, "Sit in the carriage for a while, the wind and snow outside the city seem to be a little bit heavier."

Li Wenning nodded.

Liu Tan followed the good advice and got the horse's reins, casually hanging it on the carriage.After seeing Lin Wenning got into the carriage, he stood underneath and began to hesitate.

Li Wenning held the hand warmer in his hand, and after sitting firmly, seeing his hesitant appearance, he smiled and beckoned like a guest, and said directly: "Sit down and talk."

Liu Tan quickly nodded in response, but although he had an uncontrollable smile on his face, when facing Li Wenning, he couldn't help showing a bit of embarrassment in his gestures.

After sitting with Li Wenning, in order to break the quiet atmosphere in the carriage, he couldn't help but start to talk about it almost immediately: "It was snowing outside early in the morning, although it wasn't snowing very much, but I thought, go to the nunnery today Seeing Mrs. Wei, if you were covered in snowflakes, she wouldn't be able to help but worry, it's better to take a carriage..."

Li Wenning nodded generously, "I have neglected this point."

Looking at her appearance, Liu Tan couldn't help smiling, but after laughing, he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.

On the contrary, it was Li Wenning who held the hand stove and asked him curiously, "How long have you been waiting here?"

"Not very long." Liu Tan replied almost subconsciously.

Li Wenning smiled, but there seemed to be a particularly complicated emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Let's go to the nunnery outside the city!" Li Wenning said softly, she stretched out her hand to slightly lift the curtain on the carriage window, and glanced at the sky, "When we return from the nunnery, there may be more snow falling on the ground... ..."

·

There are not many snow scenes in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the early morning of this day, some snowflakes fell here and there, and after a while, it became dense and dense, and it was hard to tell whether it was snowflakes or tiny raindrops.

At noon, Xiao Yansui walked all the way to her grandfather Xiao Song's new residence with an umbrella. The servants who followed her carried the charcoal that had been burned in the village. Made of brass hot pot.As for the kitchen, they were still busy preparing all kinds of raw and fresh ingredients according to Xiao Yansui's instructions.

"Ah Weng!" As soon as Xiao Yansui entered the room, she put down the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, stepped on the warm ground, and moved directly to Xiao Song's desk.

Xiao Song was still setting chess pieces in front of the chess record, and when he saw his precious granddaughter coming, he immediately smiled and said with a gentle voice: "In the morning, the maid from the kitchen came to tell me that you handed over the message early this morning, He said he wanted to have dinner with Ah Weng, but he didn't let them prepare any dishes, but only some raw ingredients?"

"Yeah!" Xiao Yansui nodded bluntly. Winter is always a good time to eat hot pot, especially when it snowed a lot today, so she deliberately made the kitchen prepare the bottom of the pot with mutton soup, which is just right for warming up in winter. cold.

"Ah Weng, you'll know after you try it first!" Xiao Yansui didn't explain too much, but just sat aside with her hands on her cheeks, and casually pointed to the outside room with the windows open for ventilation. Axiu had already ordered someone to set up the hot pot , Light the charcoal, and then put all the ingredients and dipping sauces on the plate.
