Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 556 Choose to see him

When the plum blossoms in winter bloomed their first buds, Gui had brought the dowry to the General's Mansion to propose marriage.His dowry gifts were very grand, and they were very expensive. They were lined up from the front hall to the gate, and the butler in the house took a whole morning to count them all.

In private, Ye Qing pulled Gui Ji to one place, and asked: "You were asked to bring a dowry gift, but you were not asked to bring so much. Didn't you put all your salary for so many years on it?"

Gui Ji nodded, and said: "The emperor added a part to me, saying that marrying you should not be too shabby."

Ye Qing couldn't laugh or cry: "This is not only not shabby, it is simply extravagant."

Gui Ji took her by the shoulders and said, "It's okay, anyway, it's only this one time to marry a wife, it's right to be extravagant."

After Ye Qing heard this, he had to say that he was very moved, his eyes were slightly red, and he said angrily, "You're really going to marry this time?"

Gui Ji nodded seriously, and said: "In the future, there will be no dowry to marry others, just marrying you will be enough." Although men with three wives and four concubines are prevalent in Beixia, a man who has a couple for a lifetime is more worthy of praise.

Ye Qing and Gui Ji's wedding date is set on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.Heard it was a good day.

It snowed on the day of the winter solstice.The snow is so small that it flutters intermittently. People don’t need to hold an umbrella when walking on the road. Those tiny snowflakes fall from the sky, like pieces of feathers kissing people’s hair, cheeks and clothes.

The servants in the general's mansion are all seriously preparing for a sumptuous lunch and dinner, as well as glutinous rice balls.

Someone sent a letter to the mansion, which was specially addressed to Ye Song.She opened it and looked at it, but she didn't know that a letter had not been read yet, and someone sent a second letter.

These were written by two people, and they invited her to different places at the same time.When Ye Qing came to ask her to go to the kitchen to make new-fangled glutinous rice balls, she was changing her clothes. The lavender tunic robe, with the skirts standing up slightly, was a bit heroic, but the waist was slender and clear, showing the beauty of a woman. Undoubtedly.

Standing at the door, Ye Qing saw Ye Song pulling out his long hair from the front of his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, draping it behind his shoulders, with an ordinary wooden hairpin in his hair, tall and well-proportioned.Ye Qing stared blankly, and asked: "Second Sister, are you going out?"

Ye Song said: "Well, I have something to go out for."

Ye Qing's eyes were sharp, and he saw two envelopes and two letters on the dressing table, "Is someone asking you out?"

"Yes."

Ye Qing curiously asked casually: "Is it Su Si?"

Ye Song said: "Half of it is him."

Who is the other half?Ye Qing wanted to ask, but she didn't ask, looking at Ye Song's almost expressionless face, she could probably guess who that person was.Moreover, she could still guess who the party she was going to meet with was.

Ye Qing said "Oh", and said: "I still want to ask my second sister to make glutinous rice balls together, since you have something to do, then go, Yingzi and I will make glutinous rice balls together."

Ye Song did not forget to say, "Remember to save a bowl for me at night."

Ye Qing smiled brightly and said: "Okay, then the second sister will come back early."

When Ye Song went out, Ye Qing brought her an umbrella.Ye Song looked at the sky and said, "I don't need an umbrella, the snow doesn't look like much."

Ye Qing insisted on handing it to her, and said: "Maybe it will be heavy in a while, the sky is always gloomy. Second sister, don't take it lightly, what if you come back from the snow and catch a cold?"

Ye Song lowered his head and took a look, smiled with the corners of his mouth, stretched out his hand to take it, opened it, and said, "Thank you, Ah Qing."

Ye Qing thought, she doesn't need to ask any more questions, and she doesn't need to ask any more questions, no matter who Ye Song chooses to see, she will never return to the wandering and painful days before.Her happiness has not come easily, and she will surely defend hers as she defends all of them.

Because of the falling snow, the street looked very deserted. In addition to the winter solstice, people on the street returned to their homes, eating warm meals and glutinous rice balls with a hot pot.From the houses on both sides, white steam and smoke drifted out, but they were dispelled by the icy air in an instant.

The snow in Shangjing is different from other places, it is always very gentle.No matter how many years have passed, Ye Song likes the snow here, it is not so cold, but it is proud of itself.As soon as winter comes, the cold plum blossoms begin to bloom, and the dark fragrance fills the ten-mile long street.

As soon as she left the general's mansion, she walked forward for a certain distance, and put away the umbrella on her own.Holding the bone umbrella in her hand, she walked forward step by step, letting the tiny snowflakes fall on her body and hair, her back was very soft and neat.

Ye Song stood at the fork in the street and stopped for a moment.She looked far away in one direction, but she couldn't see the end.There is a familiar teahouse over there. When Su Jing passed by under the teahouse before, she liked to watch him secretly in that teahouse.A faint smile appeared on the corner of Ye Song's mouth. Thinking about it now, Su Jing must have known about it, otherwise she wouldn't have been waiting for her there.

The letter said that the storyteller there spoke very well, and wanted to invite her to listen to it together.

She wants to listen too.

In the end, her footsteps went in another direction.The line of sight also seemed to be dyed into a vast expanse of whiteness, and the other direction seemed even more lonely and desolate.

Forget it, in the future there will be opportunities to listen to books, watch plays, or do anything with Su Jing.

She walked through a long street, and most of the shops on both sides were closed. Unexpectedly, there was still a shed standing erect at the familiar place on the corner, and heat was constantly coming out of the shed.

Tangyuan shop.

It's been a long time since I've seen the aunt who sells glutinous rice balls. Her figure is still plump, but there are a few wrinkles on her face, and her hair at the temples is also a little gray.She was busy throwing glutinous rice balls into the boiling water pot, and the glutinous rice balls were white like snowballs.

The aunt shouted at the top of her voice: "Tangyuan, sell glutinous rice balls, the glutinous rice balls for the Winter Solstice—"

Ye Song just stood there watching for a while, but didn't walk over.Ye Song moved his footsteps and walked around the corner.She hadn't eaten the glutinous rice balls there for a long time, and she had already forgotten what it was like. She only vaguely remembered that the last time she ate it, the stuffing of aunt's glutinous rice balls was not well done, it was not sweet but salty.She doesn't plan to eat the glutinous rice balls here, because Ye Qing made the glutinous rice balls at home for her to keep for the winter solstice.

Entering that corner, the chess hall is quiet and lifeless, green vines are covering the walls, and it is beaten by frost and snow. The old gate of the chess hall is half open and half closed, and there is no sound from inside.It seems that on such days, no one will come to the door to gamble.

Ye Song stood in front of the door for a while, his body was covered with heavy rain and snow moisture, and a strand of hair hanging from his ear was condensed into a thick ink line.She put the bone umbrella by the door, then gently pushed the door open to enter.

The door creaked the same old way.

The owner of the chess hall was still the same owner, he heard the sound and came out, saw Ye Song, and quickly went to help Ye Song open the door to let her in.The boss seemed to know everything and knew everything, and said: "Miss is here, the young master has been waiting upstairs for a while."

Ye Song looked up at the wooden stairs extending to the second floor, and walked up there.

Seeing that Ye Song was half dry and half wet, the boss asked, "Miss came without an umbrella, and the snow is heavier than in the morning, do you want me to get a dry towel for you to wipe?" "

Ye Song brushed off the drops of water hanging from the ends of his hair on his shoulders, and made a dull sound when he stepped on the wooden stairs, and said casually, "No need, I will leave after sitting down for a while."

The boss didn't follow him upstairs, but retreated quietly without any interruption.

Ye Song stood in front of the door, the door was only slightly closed, she opened it a little, and saw that the light in the room was extraordinarily bright and bright, the snowflakes outside the window fell on the window lattice, and with the cold wind, the window screen was blown away. Gotta flutter.

Su Ruoqing, dressed in black and with black hair, sat on the couch with a mat, her wide sleeves hanging slightly on the edge of the couch.There is a chessboard in front of him, with two-handed chess in his hand, and he falls onto the chessboard.As if nothing had changed, it was just the way it was.

Occasionally, a few flakes of snowflakes flew down on the chessboard, and before he could reach out to brush them, they had already melted into small drops of water.

Ye Song stood at the door and didn't step in immediately. Su Ruoqing looked up at her after taking a few moves, and said calmly: "I thought you wouldn't come again, you just want to see me. Come in and sit down." Let's go." When Ye Song came in, Su Ruoqing saw that her clothes were wet, so she asked, "Did you not hold an umbrella when you came here?"

Ye Song said casually: "I brought it, I didn't hold it."

"Why don't you hold on?"

Ye Song's brows and eyes were warm, looking at the snow on the window lattice, he also smiled faintly: "The snow in Beijing can't be drenched many times in total." She lingered lightly on Su Ruoqing's face, "Today is the winter solstice, Your Majesty You are not in the palace for the festival, but you invited me here, is there any important thing?"

Su Ruoqing made a gesture to her and said, "If you still have time to spare, come and play chess with me."

Ye Song hesitated for a moment, then sat down opposite Su Ruoqing, picked up the chess pieces in the chess box, and casually played with Su Ruoqing.Su Ruoqing said: "Isn't the snow in Beijing beautiful?"

"It's beautiful." Ye Song said.

"Then why haven't you been showered so many times?" Su Ruoqing's fingertips trembled slightly, and she dropped a piece next to Ye Song's chess piece, "Is it because you want to leave?"

Ye Song said: "I should leave."

"Is there no room for redemption?" Su Ruoqing asked after a long time.

Ye Song didn't answer, so Su Ruoqing knew her answer.

After a while, Su Ruoqing said again: "I know, no one can force you. The reason why you are willing to come to see me is not because I have something important to tell you, but because you happen to have something to tell me too." .I heard that I am not the only one who sent letters to my door today, but also the virtuous king.”

Ye Song put on an impeccable smile, but there was no smile in his words, he said: "Nothing can escape the eyes of the emperor."

"That's why you didn't go to see him, but chose to come to see me?"
