Jiangshan is the betrothal gift

Chapter 49 Encountering Sudden Mutations 6
The first lady and the second lady came in one after the other. When the first lady saw Rui Yi, she smiled with satisfaction, but the second lady's eyes fell on Rui Yi, but she froze. Then she looked at the eldest lady and said: "Nine girls Why does this set of jewelry look so familiar, it seems that Ruihua brought it back a few days ago to honor my sister-in-law."

"How can I wear this at my age? Ruihua specially sent it to my sister to make her happy when she knew she was ill." The eldest lady said casually, and she put the matter aside, looked at everyone and said, "When everyone is here, let's It's time to go, I'm afraid it's not easy to walk on the road after it's snowed all night, so don't make Mrs. Fan wait for a long time."

Fan's family is the in-laws of the second room, so the second wife naturally attaches great importance to it, and she can't care about Rui Yi at this time, so she replied: "I should go out earlier, the snow fell a bit too much last night, I don't know Has the snow on the road been cleaned up?"

The eldest lady glanced at the second lady, and said: "It's okay to think about it." After saying that, she stood up, and Fang Qing immediately took a cloak and put it on the eldest lady.

Qingshuang, the second lady's girl, and Ruiyi's girls all took their girls' cloaks and tied them on.It was snowing heavily outside, everyone stepped on clogs to go out, Rui Yi was a little afraid of the cold, Ling Xiao gave the hand stove with new charcoal to his girl to hold, and specially wrapped a bag of silver frost charcoal and stuffed it into the armhole.

Seeing Ling Xiao's movements, Mu He smiled, and said to her, "You're not afraid of the charcoal ash staining your sleeves."

"What's the matter? It's a big deal if the girl's hands are cold." Ling Xiao replied.

Mu He chuckled twice, helped Rui Yi to go out, and Rui Yi said to Ling Xiao: "Where can you put it in the armhole."

Ling Xiao didn't refute, but he didn't take out the charcoal from the armhole, he just helped Ruiyi to go out.

The carriage had been waiting outside the gate for a long time, and the charcoal brazier was burned early, and it was warm as soon as it entered the carriage. Rui Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "The stable servants are very attentive."

"The lady ordered it specially, who dare not be careful." Ling Xiao accompanied Rui Yi into the carriage, and Mu He went to the carriage behind to follow.

Because of the snow, it was really not easy to walk on this road, walking very slowly, Rui Yi raised the curtain of the car to look out, and he could still see the people on both sides of the road shoveling snow.Looking up to the front, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and saw Zhou Chenyi riding a horse and facing a man beside him who didn't know what to say, with a stern expression and knives in his eyes.In the sky full of white, he was dressed in a black robe with golden patterns, standing on the back of a horse, making it impossible to ignore.

As if sensing something, Zhou Chenyi suddenly turned his head and met Rui Yi's eyes who had no time to hide.

Seeing King Qi's expression, Rong Ling couldn't help but follow his gaze, but only saw the curtained carriage passing slowly by.

The carriage of the Marquis of Shun'an, why did the prince suddenly look over there?

"My lord." Rong Ling yelled, it was rare to see King Qi so absent-minded.

Hearing the sound, Zhou Chenyi regained his composure. There was nothing wrong with his face, and he continued: "The snowstorm has already happened, I can't take care of this matter. You can go directly to Prince Hui, he is willing to come out This one." King Hui is very happy to do everything right with King Shen.

"Yes, then you still want to leave the capital?" Rong Ling asked.

"...Maybe." Zhou Chenyi said.

Just now he said that he must go, now it becomes possible, Rong Ling looked at the carriage of the Marquis of Shun'an again, feeling inexplicable for a moment.

"What about the snow disaster?" Rong Ling couldn't figure out what King Qi meant.

Zhou Shenyi looked at Rong Ling, "Didn't I just say that?"

"The subordinate will do it immediately."

Zhou Shenyi nodded, "Before you go, go to An Guogong's mansion to find Fan Licheng, he knows more about the affairs of King Hui."

"Yes." Rong Ling didn't expect that King Qi still had contact with the prince of the Duke of Ango's mansion, and he couldn't see the prince clearly, so he patted his horse and went to the Duke of An's mansion without hesitation.

Zhou Chenyi was alone on the street, and turned his head to look in the direction of the carriage of Marquis of Shun'an, but he could only see a shadow in the distance.Realizing that he shouldn't pay too much attention to such things, he immediately patted his horse and headed out of the city.The father is getting old, and his health is getting worse every year. King Shen and King Hui fought fiercely, but now he has no wings and can't compete with them.He still needs a year or two, and in just one or two years, he will be able to sit on the back of a horse and look down on the world.

The humiliation he suffered in the past will definitely be repaid double.

The horse was traveling halfway, when he met Fan Licheng who was coming towards him, Zhou Chenyi stopped, looked at him and said, "Why are you here?" Before asking him to let Rongling look for him, I was afraid that he would be in vain.

"I have seen the prince." Fan Licheng saluted, and then replied: "Today, there is a snow feast at home, and relatives and friends are invited to go to enjoy it. My mother sent me out to bring some good wine back. I did not expect to meet On the prince."

Snow feast?The carriage from the Marquis of Shun'an's mansion should have gone to the Duke of An's mansion. He remembered that the Marquis of Shun'an's mansion was married to the Duke of An's mansion.

"So that's the case. I just asked Rong Ling to look for you about something. I'm afraid I'm going to miss it."

Fan Licheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "If it's like this, if you have nothing to do, you might as well go to the Bifu. The family invited craftsmen to make snow sculptures, and you can still have a look."

Go to Anguo Gongfu?
Zhou Shenyi hesitated a little.

The Snow Appreciation Banquet in An Guogong's Mansion was really eye-opening. Craftsmen were invited to carve all kinds of snow sculptures in the back and forth of the courtyard.

Snow sculptures are not uncommon, but what is strange is that each snow sculpture is as big as three or four people enclosing it, and the sculptures are so lifelike that they seem to be alive.Walking all the way in is breathtaking, Rui Yi thought that if the Shun'an Hou Mansion could also carve a few at home, it would be a good place to go.

Mrs. An Guogong greeted her in person, the eldest lady and the second lady went up to greet her with a smile, Rui Yi and others saluted Mrs. An Guogong.Mrs. An was full of smiles and praised everyone, especially Ruiyi.

During the whole process, Ruiyi lowered her head halfway and pretended to be a lady. Of course, she always thought that she was a real lady. At this time, she couldn't care about Ruiyue's unhappy expression.After entering the backyard, the sisters of the Fan family greeted her, and Fan Wei took Rui Yi's hand and said affectionately: "I heard that you were sick a few days ago, I was very worried, but it was not easy to go out at that time, I couldn't even see you."

"I'm worried about you, it's just a cold, it's not a big deal, you see I'm not doing well now." Rui Yi replied with a smile, seeing that Fan Wei really cared about her, she still felt warm in her heart warm.

Over there, Fan Yu and Fan Rui were talking to the three of Ruiyue, and they were holding hands for a while, and it became lively for a while.There were still many people in the hall, all of whom were guests invited by Mrs. An Guogong.Ruiyi took a look and saw quite a few acquaintances.Zhuo Yingyu was also there, as well as Tao Youran and You Shuyun, and felt a headache for a while. These people were not very friendly with her.

As soon as Zhuo Yingyu saw Ruilan, she walked over affectionately, and when she glanced at Ruiyi from the corner of her eyes, she straightened her neck.Ruiyi's attire really made her stand out from the crowd, she was born beautiful, and now she was fighting here, which attracted everyone's attention.

It was obvious that Rui Yi was not at ease, so Fan Wei pulled her to sit beside her, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk to those boring people, seeing how beautiful you are, well-dressed, and rich, every single one of your eyeballs is worth it. It’s a shame to earn it.”

Such unabashed contempt really opened Ruiyi's eyes, Mrs. An Guogong is also a strange person, we raised such a concubine daughter, and we still love and pamper her.

"Your mouth is not forgiving, so be careful not to be overheard."

"Just listen, which one am I afraid of?" Fan Wei sneered, "I am the most impatient with those villains who say what they mean, and you are different from them, so I like you."

Rui Yi glared at her, and then said: "Who is that lady over there, why is she always looking at me?"

Hearing Rui Yi's question, Fan Wei turned her head and said, "You don't even know this lady? It's Mrs. Zuo Xiang. It took a lot of effort for my mother to invite her to be a guest. This lady Madam usually doesn't like to go out." As she said that, she looked at Rui Ruiyi and smiled, "It's terrible, now your face, Mrs. Zuo Xiang, is fascinated by you."

Rui Yi blushed at what she said, "What are you talking about?"

Although Fan Wei and Rui Yi had a friendship through drinking, they couldn't go too far at the moment, so they took her hand and said, "There are a lot of people here, most of them are people you and I don't like, let's go to the back yard to see Go to the snow sculpture."

Fan Wei is eccentric and has a somewhat eccentric temper.In front of strangers, he was better able to control himself, but in front of familiar people, he was unwilling to pretend, Rui Yi was dragged by her and had to follow.

There were snowflakes in the sky outside, and there were ladies who came out in twos and threes to look at the snow sculptures, all of them were wearing furry cloaks, and the colorful figures shuttled in the snow-white world.

"Let's go over there, there are too many people here." Fan Wei took Rui Yi's hand and walked to another path, saying as she walked, "We even carved an ice sculpture in the small courtyard next to our mansion, It was originally prepared for the guests in the front yard to see. It’s just that there are no male guests in our house today, and there is no one in the yard at the moment, so you and I can just go and play.”

Unexpectedly, Fan Wei was so bold, so Rui Yi hurriedly held her back, "I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate." The front yard is where they can go, it's in someone else's house, not their own, it's too impolite up.

"What are you afraid of? There are no guests in the front yard today. My brothers don't have time to appreciate this. I can tell you that the carvings in the yard are more exquisite than those in the backyard. It's fine if I take you there." Fan Wei couldn't help but say Pulling Ruiyi around a corner, passing through a moon gate, he met a few girls and women on the road, but no one asked why, apparently Fan Wei was used to doing such things at home, and everyone was not surprised up.

Rui Yi came out in a hurry, Ling Xiao and Mu He didn't bring either, Fan Wei didn't bring her girl, the two of them just came out like this, really...

"Here we are, come in with me." Fan Wei pushed open a wooden door, pulled Rui Yi into it, and closed the door behind her back. "Look, isn't it pretty?"

Rui Yi was stunned as soon as he raised his eyes. There are not only snow sculptures here, but also ice sculptures.Flowers, birds, fish and insects, beasts and eagles stand in this courtyard, making people dazzled and amazed.

"This ice sculpture has to be poured with water every night. Once it freezes at night, it will look better during the day, even if the sun comes out." Fan Wei said as she walked, "Do you think this tiger is very powerful? Hu Nai King of Beasts, this ice sculpture is so majestic, I was dumbfounded when I saw it for the first time. And this, look at the thrush carving, it is really the same, the craftsmanship of this craftsman is amazing It's really good that such a small bird can be depicted in such detail..."
