food color and fragrance

Chapter 265
A heavy snowfall summed up the 47-year New Year's Eve of Emperor Chonghua. The falling snowflakes flew along the breeze, stacked one after another, and soon accumulated the thickness of a palm, which made people who were preparing for the New Year's Eve feel happy again. A little more joy and joy.

In Fanyin's courtyard, Caiyun and Cuiqiao led the maids to build snowmen one after another, and Fanyin followed to join in the fun.

Picked up two briquettes from the stove and pressed them for eyes. Fanyin also raised a kitchen knife and carved a few small radish flowers for later use. This was the first time she used a knife after marrying into the Zhong family. Unfortunately, it was not for Zhong Xingyan to cook. It's for making snowmen.

Zhong Xingyan came back very late last night. Although he woke up now, he was leaning on the soft pillow by the window and closed his eyes to listen to the laughter outside the window, especially her voice, it seemed like a pill to heal the inner anger The good medicine, as long as you hear it in your ears, the depression and anger in your heart can completely disappear.

I don't know how many more days I can live like this...

Suddenly hearing the surprised laughter of the maids, Zhong Xingyan couldn't help but opened his eyes and looked out the window. He saw Fanyin cut a sword-like branch with a knife and stuck it in the snowman's hand. Then he looked at the snowman. Zhong Xingyan touched his forehead for the scar on his forehead that was pasted with a wisteria stick. Could it be that this snowman was built according to him?

With a few laughs, Zhong Xingyan got down from the couch and walked out the door, Cuiqiao and Caiyun chattered in low voices, and they also covered their mouths and laughed, seeing Zhong Xingyan suddenly behind him, they were all startled, Caiyun stretched out her hand When she was about to shoot Sanskrit, Zhong Xingyan raised her finger to tell her to shut up.

Sanskrit was facing the snowman, didn't notice that Cuiqiao was secretly waving at her, and didn't notice that Luhe was winking, and just used a wooden stick soaked in ink to draw a crooked expression for the snowman, saying: "Again It will look more crooked like this, and there is still a spot on the tooth... By the way, just draw another slanted line."

"Should I make the eyes bigger? They're too small."

Zhong Xingyan interrupted, but the Sanskrit voice still did not slow down, "Yes, no matter how big it is...huh?"

Fanyin was startled, turned around and saw Zhong Xingyan looking at her with a smile. The maids had long been hiding behind with different expressions, but they all covered their mouths and dared not make a sound.

Sanskrit stuck out his tongue, and he was also holding back his joy.

"In your heart, I'm just that ugly?" Zhong Xingyan pointed at the snowman with squinting eyes, grinning yellow teeth, and a scar on his forehead. Grandma painted very vividly.

Fanyin looked at the snowman, then at Zhong Xingyan, nodded firmly, and said with a smile: "My craftsmanship is not bad, the painting is really similar, hahaha... ouch!"

Zhong Xingyan suddenly rushed forward and rushed towards Fanyin. Fanyin couldn't resist his weight, and fell towards the snowman, sitting on his buttocks in the snowdrift.

Before he could complain about Zhong Xingyan's sudden attack, his small mouth was blocked, and the maids and women ran away in all directions, leaving only two people, one big and one small, lying on their stomachs in the snowdrifts in the whole yard.

The red face was covered with snow, and the snowflakes that fell on her face melted quickly and flowed down her cheeks to the middle of her neck. Sanskrit only felt it was icy cold, "Bastard, you are the master of the yard anyway, can you be a little bit colder?" It looks serious!"

Zhong Xingyan threw herself on the ground and refused to get up, but she didn't let her go, "At any rate, you are also the fourth grandma in the yard, so you slander my image like this, and say I'm not decent? I'll just show you that I'm not serious. "

Zhong Xingyan turned over and fell into the snow, turning Sanskrit on her body, her arms were tightly restrained and she couldn't escape.

After a light kiss fell, Sanskrit's face was on fire, and he quickly stretched his head around to see if anyone was peeping, but unfortunately, his body was still tightly held by Zhong Xingyan, unable to move at all, "Let go, I beg for mercy. ? Let go."

"Hahaha, this seems to be the first time you've begged for mercy since I've known you for so many years?" Zhong Xingyan smiled comfortably, "Please listen to me again."

Sanskrit broke free angrily, stepped forward and bit his face fiercely.

Zhong Xingyan saw that she was really in a hurry, so he let go slightly, Fanyin immediately stood up, snorted a few times but didn't know what to scold him, looking at the scattered snowman, she quickly ran over and picked up a big snowman. The lump of snow sprinkled on Zhong Xingyan's body.

The cold snow covered Zhong Xingyan's face and entered his clothes along his neck, making him motionless due to the ice.

Sanskrit laughed for a long while, but found that Zhong Xingyan hadn't reacted at all, and his face was covered with snow so he couldn't see clearly...

Aren't you angry?
"Why are you so stingy?" Sanskrit pursed his lips, but he looked tentatively, but he still didn't respond, as if he didn't even make a sound of panting.

Sanskrit was so frightened that he hurried over to look, and felt something was wrong when he took two steps forward, but it was too late at this time, Zhong Xingyan dragged her into his arms and rolled endlessly in the snow.

"Bad guy, just pretend to be angry to lie to me, oh, it's so cold!" Fanyin kept laughing while being scratched, Zhong Xingyan rubbed the snow that hadn't fallen off her face on her face, Fanyin was caught by him He coughed a few times.

Zhong Xingyan also stopped, just hugged her in his arms, watching her smile.

"Bad guy." Fanyin wiped the snow and melted snow on his face, only feeling that his face was frozen stiff.

Zhong Xingyan was about to comfort her when she saw Feng's mother coming from outside and saw the two of them sitting on the ground covered in snow, she screamed in fright, "Oh my god, fourth master and fourth grandma What's going on with you two! It's so cold on the ground, and you haven't broken your body from the ice, anyway, you are the master of this mansion, so you don't have to be afraid that the servant girls will laugh at you two!"

"Get up, get up!" Mother Feng shook her head again and again, and looked at the maids hiding in the corner and shouted, "Why are you hiding there laughing? You haven't come out to work!"

Cuiqiao and Caiyun are the first-class maids in the yard after all, they come out blushing, and hurried to help Fanyin up.

Fanyin was ashamed when she was caught by Feng's mother, and she stared at Zhong Xingyan complainingly, but he was still smiling and sitting in the snow, not caring at all, "Feng's mother taught me to let my daughter-in-law I'm cold, I admit it, say I'm ashamed and deny it, what's there to be ashamed of teasing my wife? Isn't it good to live a rigid life all day long?"

Mother Feng glared at him, "Fourth Master, you are not shy, but this old slave also laughs at you! Waiting for tomorrow to see my aunt and grandma, this old slave is done!"

"Don't, Mother Feng, I was wrong. Is it okay if I am wrong?" Zhong Xingyan got up quickly, smiled to please, he was not afraid to complain to the eldest sister, but his ears might suffer again.

Mother Feng looked at Sanskrit with a gleeful smile, and shook her head helplessly, "Go in and wash up, it's Chinese New Year, don't get sick again from freezing."

"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely not play like this next time." Fanyin helped Feng's mother and walked into the house. She was almost soaked by Zhong Xingyan, and she was covered with goosebumps from the cold.

Seeing the pursed smiles of the maids around her, Sanskrit was so ashamed that she lost her former ease and joy, and went into the room with a sullen head, washed her body and changed her clothes, only to see Zhong Xingyan standing at the door looking at her.

"Bad guy!" Sanskrit glared at him, "It's all because of you that I was trained by Mother Feng."

"I'm just here to coax you to play!" Zhong Xingyan walked over and looked at her, "It's Chinese New Year anyway, and I'm going to have dinner with a bunch of people from the second and third bedrooms, so don't bother if you say something that makes you sick They will pay homage to their father and mother tomorrow morning, and then I will accompany you back to your mother's house, huh?"

Zhong Xingyan caressed her hair dotingly, his sudden change made Sanskrit a little strange, she looked straight at him and said, "Do you have something on your mind?"

"I don't have anything on my mind, I just think about it and I'm going to attend two big weddings in succession today and have to give gifts. I feel pain in my heart."

Zhong Xingyan mischievously twitched the corners of his mouth a few times, Fanyin couldn't help but pouted Lao Gao, Zhao Jing and Lin Hongyu's big wedding was fine, the relationship was not so good, and she didn't feel bad about how many gifts she gave.

But before that was the day when Yu Wenxin and Princess Xiaoya got married, it was really unbearable.

Fanyin also remembered the bet she had made with Tian Shi, if she could see Fang Shi and Zhong Liangqiu today, she would let Tian Shi see how Fang Shi would respond.

With a small smile on the corner of his mouth, Fanyin didn't know how to evaluate Tian.

I used to think that she was scheming to the bottom of her heart, but now she looks stupid and pitiful. If Mrs. Fang replied that she would allow Zhong Liangqiu to attend Princess Xiaoya's wedding with her, what would Mrs. Tian's expression be?
Zhong Xingyan saw that Sanskrit's thoughts drifted away, the smile in the corner of his eyes, the pursed mouth, and the disdain and helplessness in his eyes made him ponder for a long time and said, "How do you think you are going to do something bad again?"

"What do you mean I'm bad?" Sanskrit stared at him complainingly, and told him the bet with Tian after thinking for a long time, "... After all, I'm [-]% sure about this matter, but I don't know if the third sister-in-law will In a fit of anger, I messed up the New Year's Eve dinner, but if something happens, you can help me and don't run away."

Zhong Xingyan smiled happily, "It's even better. I didn't want to have dinner with those people. If it really messes up the New Year's Eve dinner, I'll take you out to play."

"Tomorrow morning, I have to worship my parents-in-law, how can I go out to play." Although Fanyin said so, her curious and expectant eyes revealed the eagerness in her heart.

"Then let's go back to the yard to celebrate the New Year. It's better to spend the festive days in the yard than poking a bunch of disgusting toads in front of us."

As Zhong Xingyan spoke, he gave Fanyin a glance, and Fanyin's goose bumps shook all over his body, and he hurriedly got up and went to change his clothes, ready to go to the main hall of Zhongfu with Zhong Xingyan.

Although today is not the first time for the Zhong family to celebrate the new year, this year is different than before, because the three brothers of the Zhong family became officials again, which also means that the Zhong family has not fallen after the ups and downs. The emperor personally ordered the Zhong family to fight, It proves that the Zhong family will rise again.

Therefore, on the New Year's Eve in previous years, the front of Zhong's house was deserted, but this year's New Year's Eve was full of traffic, and there was an endless stream of people who came to give New Year's greetings and gifts, and it was impossible to see the end at a glance.

Zhong Xinglian and Zhong Xingqi had already greeted and sent off the guests in the main hall, seeing off the guests, Zhong Xinglian and Zhong Xingqi saw the congratulatory gifts for the entire courtyard, and the joy on their faces was also from the heart.

Zhong Xinglian looked at Zhong Xingqi, and suddenly said: "I heard that the emperor summoned the fourth child alone yesterday, didn't he tell you what it was for?"
