Notes of Lanxi Crossing

Chapter 187 Playing
I won't go into details about everyone's reaction after receiving Lanxi's letter.

Time flies by, and when the capital snows heavily, the new year arrives.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. The snow falls just right. It can cover a layer, but it's not too big." Lan Xi climbed up the window and said to Song Lanzhang beside him.

"It's windy at the window, put on the fur!"

Song Lanzhang took from Luluo the white fox fur that Lanxi had untied just now when she was playing around, spread it out, shook it lightly, and then put it on for her.

Lan Xi stood obediently and let him tie the belt on herself, while talking to Song Lanjiu who was playing chess with the second sister.

"Third brother, shall we build a snowman later?"

Song Lanjiu was so annoyed by the chess game that she almost crushed the chess pieces. Hearing this, she immediately found an excuse to relieve herself. He immediately dropped the chess pieces in his hand and ran to the door as if fleeing for his life.

"Great, let's go, let's go!"

"Come back to me, you haven't finished playing yet!" Song Lanshu glared.

What does it mean to run away halfway through a chess game?
"No, no, my good second sister, just let me go, you know I'm the most impatient to play with this." Song Lanjiu asked for forgiveness.

You must know that he was determined never to play chess with his brother and sister again. Unfortunately, Lanxi could run but he couldn't. In the end, he still couldn't twist his thigh and was dragged to the chess table by these two unscrupulous people .

Lan Xi deeply understood his situation, and ran out the door with him.

"Big Brother and Second Sister, this is the first heavy snow this winter, let us play for a while, and you guys come too, otherwise, let Cousin Jiang play chess with you."

Following Lan Xi's words, everyone looked at Jiang Yan who was quietly sitting beside the fire.

"Yan'er, do you want to build a snowman with Xi'er Jiu'er and the others?" Song Lanshu asked him.

Jiang Yan shook his head lightly: "Cousin Shu, I'll play chess with you."

With that said, he sat down on Song Lanjiu's previous position and picked up a chess piece.

That being the case, Jiang Yan and Song Lanshu stayed in the house to play chess, and Lan Xi and Song Lanjiu followed Song Lanjiu to make a snowman in the courtyard. Song Lanzhang worried that the two troublemakers were out of control, so they had to go out together.

Song Lanshu dropped a child and chatted with Jiang Yan who was sitting opposite.

"Yan'er, did uncle tell you how to arrange your homework next year?"

During this period of time, although my uncle has been taking my cousin to study, it is not a long-term solution after all, and I still have to find a teacher to teach him.

"What my father means is that it is not a good time to hire a gentleman now that the end of the year has come. After the spring of next year, he will find a teacher for me."

Jiang Yan's hand didn't stop all of a sudden. As early as when his father informed him of this decision, he had already figured out how to respond to others' inquiries.

Song Lanshu glanced at him, thinking in her heart, in fact, her mother had talked about this matter with her a few days ago.

What parents mean is that if my uncle's family will not return to Jiangnan for a while, it is better to let the three families of Song and Liujiang run a school together, send the children of several families in together, and let them be companions at that time.

I don't know if my parents discussed this matter with my aunt and uncle, but Song Lanshu didn't disclose it to Jiang Yan in advance, so as not to let him rejoice in vain.

It's just... Yan'er should be happy about this, right?
Seeing Jiang Yan's Baozi face staring at the chessboard very seriously, Song Lanshu was a little uncertain.

Jiang Yan noticed Song Lanshu's gaze, recalled his performance just now, and after confirming that he was not rude, he asked:
"Cousin Shu, but what did I do wrong?"

Song Lanshu looked away, and the beauty smiled: "You play very well. Compared with Jiuer's stinky chess basket, playing chess with you is much more enjoyable."

After being praised, Jiang Yan's lips curved slightly, and he said modestly: "My chess skills are average, so I can only try my best to try with my cousin."

Song Lanshu was about to persuade him not to belittle himself, but he said: "But compared with Cousin Jiu, I should indeed be much better than him."

Song Lanshu didn't answer the words for a while, she thought Jiang Yan was joking with Song Lanjiu, but she saw that his expression was serious and serious, he didn't look like he was joking.

Helpless, she could only add a few sentences for her brother.

"This... You are not wrong to say that, Jiu'er is indeed concentrating on martial arts, and has studied less in this way."

Song Lanjiu has never liked such elegant things, at best she can hold a fan and flaunt it for a few days, but she is still very determined and persistent in the things she is interested in.

It can only be said that the ruler is short and the inch is long. Everyone has their own advantages.

Jiang Yan looked out the window at the young but tall and handsome boy, and nodded in agreement.

"Cousin Jiu is indeed specialized in martial arts, Yan'er is not as good as him."

Song Lanshu wanted to say something more, but saw that the opponent had already concentrated on the chess game, so she swallowed the words in her mouth again.

She found that the other party seemed to have one thing to say when they spoke. Although she was also modest, she never denied her own excellence or shortcomings.

Song Lanshu couldn't help holding the handkerchief to her lips, the curvature of the corner of her mouth revealed the master's mood.

The temperament of this cousin of the Jiang family is really funny!

The snow outside is not thin. With the full cooperation of Lan Xi and his two brothers, a small snowman was piled up in a short time.

"Second sister, cousin, come out quickly, we've made a snowman!"

Lan Xi thumped a few steps and ran to the window and shouted at the two chess players inside.

It just so happened that the outcome of the chess game between the two of them was already clear. If it continues, Jiang Yan will definitely lose. Song Lanshu threw the chess piece into the dowry, and invited: "I can't sit still listening to the noise of their playing, why don't we go out and have a look?" ?”

Her posture made it clear that she wanted to leave. Although Jiang Yan wanted to finish the shogi game, he would not strongly oppose her opinion.

The two got up from the low couch, and each put on the cloaks and cloaks that were held by the servant girls—the outside is not as warm as the indoors with a fire, and dressing to keep warm is the most important thing.

The snowman was made very rough, and in the eyes of Song Lanshu, who was used to delicate things, it was even a bit ugly.

But the strange thing is, if she looked carefully at the snowman made of three balls, she felt that it still had a unique and naive feeling.

Song Lanshu has never seen the power of cartoon characters and Q version cute things, so she can only evaluate this ugly and cute snowman from the most real feeling in her heart.

"Who piled it up? It's really easy. There are only three balls in total."

Lan Xi also felt that it was a bit rough, but this did not hinder her good mood.

"The roundest head was made by me, and the two round bellies were made by the elder brother and the third brother."

Song Lanjiu's pile of balls was the largest, but also the most uneven, and was placed at the bottom by Lanxi.
