Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 557 Invitation to step on the snow, hard to find a bosom friend (1)
Ji Chonglian walked on the path in the mountains with one foot deep and one foot shallow, the deerskin boots were stained with snowflakes from time to time, and they scattered again after a while.

Liuli walked beside her holding a flower and tree umbrella, looked up, and let out a breath of steam, "Ma'am, I saw the cornice at the corner of the pavilion, let's turn another corner and we'll be there."

Ji Chonglian stopped in her tracks and looked left and right. She seemed to be able to see the swaying branches of trees in the depths of the forest. She shook her head helplessly, "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have taken Sister Shuang to go out. This is really a shame." Wild Monkey!"

Liuli covered her lips and smiled, "Ma'am, don't say that, what kid doesn't like to play with snow, if it weren't for the fact that Sister Zheng and Brother Yuan are still young, I'm afraid you would have brought them out together, besides, there is still An Ye here Look there, nothing will happen!"

Ji Chonglian nodded, and continued to walk up. The light snow fell from the sky like cotton flowers, and it made a "creaking" sound when it stepped on the mountain road.

Liuli hurriedly followed, "I don't know what Madam Jiang is thinking, I invited you to the mountain to enjoy the scenery on a snowy day, if the snow falls even harder, I'm afraid the carriage will not be able to get out of the city."

Although Jiang Yinlan is married to Dongfang Tou, the power of the Jiang family is not weak. Besides, she is also famous, so most people like to call her Mrs. Jiang.

Ji Chonglian smiled, she hasn't climbed a mountain for a long time, especially in this snowy day, but it's interesting, isn't it?

Besides, it is not cold when it rains, and it is cold when it melts snow. It is not the coldest time yet.

Ji Chonglian walked step by step, without turning her head, she said: "It's rare that Mrs. Jiang invites me out, even if it's a long way, I still have to go."

Liuli shook her head and didn't say anything else, she followed closely behind Ji Chonglian and held up an umbrella for her to block the flying snowflakes.

Sitting in the octagonal gazebo on the mountain was a beautiful woman with a snow fox cloak covering her petite and thin body. Even though the warm velvet was woven inside, her complexion didn't look very good, and she even showed a faint paleness. , Suihan Sanyou's brass hand stove was held in her hand, and charcoal basins were lit in the four corners of the pavilion, as if this could slightly resist the cold outside and create a little trance warmth.

"Ma'am, they are here!"

A servant girl reported in Jiang Yinlan's ear, and she just came back to her senses, looked at the person slowly walking outside the gazebo, and stood up with a smile.

Ji Chonglian shook the snow off her shoulders outside the pavilion, Liuli untied her cloak, and then she stepped into the pavilion to greet Jiang Yinlan, "Madam Jiang!"

"Mrs. Pei!"

Jiang Yinlan handed the hand stove to the maid beside her, and then stepped forward to shake Ji Chonglian's hand, "It's snowing today, I'm afraid you won't come here for the sake of face!"

Ji Chonglian's eyes flickered slightly, but Jiang Yinlan's enthusiasm surprised her a little.

"It's rare for Mrs. Jiang to invite me, so why wouldn't I come?"

Ji Chonglian looked at Jiang Yinlan with a smile. The beauty of the woman in front of her was indeed unique, and the white snow behind her seemed to be her background, as if it was just to set off the agility of the brows and the coolness of the red lips.

Jiang Yinlan smiled and pulled Ji Chonglian to sit down.

Ji Chonglian glanced around, seeing the carbon basins piled up at the four corners, she couldn't help being surprised and said: "If Mrs. Jiang is afraid of the cold, you can have people wrap curtains around the gazebo, wouldn't it be warmer than a single carbon basin? "

Jiang Yinlan shook her head and said: "Mrs. Pei doesn't know something. I invited my lady here today to enjoy the scenery. If we surround this pavilion, how can we see the beautiful scenery?"

"Enjoy the view?"

Ji Chonglian raised her eyebrows, and there was a little interest in her eyes. She had never climbed this hill, and she didn't remember any beautiful scenery on it, but Jiang Yinlan must have her reasons for saying this, so she waited quietly.

"Madam Pei, come with me!"

Jiang Yinlan pursed her lips and smiled, got up and walked to the side of the pavilion.

Ji Chonglian also followed.

The hill doesn't even have a name yet, but the gazebo on the hill doesn't look old, presumably someone has maintained it.

When Ji Chonglian came, he had already noticed that there was even a bit of new paint on the beams and pillars beside the pavilion, which proved that the pavilion had just been repainted. I don't know if it was often someone came to maintain it, or Jiang Yinlan specially made it for her to invite her. Of.

No matter what, Jiang Yinlan is indeed a very caring person.

People often say that Huiji will be hurt. If this is applied to Jiang Yinlan, it has to be said that it is a pity.

Ji Chonglian's eyes swept away from Jiang Yinlan's face, and turned to look down the mountain.

The road was the same as the road she had come on, not tortuous, and of course it was not easy to walk compared to flat ground, not to mention it was snowing.

There is no scenery along the way, maybe there are some twisted branches and dead leaves in the forest, maybe there are small animals hiding in the treetops, it's okay for Sister Shuang to have fun, but she doesn't have much interest .

Ji Chonglian just wanted to shake her head with a smile, but her gaze froze not far away. She stretched out her hand in a little surprise, "Where is..."

Only then did Jiang Yinlan smile heartily, "There is a wild plum grove there, because it is in a mountain depression, so few people can appreciate its beauty, but it is just right to see it from this gazebo." Turning to look at Ji Chonglian, she said softly: "I used to come here to enjoy the scenery every year, and this year I specially invited Mrs. Pei to come, and it also gave me a talking partner."

The depression is oval in shape, and because it is surrounded by loose slopes, there will occasionally be gravel falling, so there should be few people there, and it can maintain its original appearance after thinking about it.

And the plum grove in the mountain depression is actually not too big, but it looks so full of vigor and vitality when it is surrounded by waxy yellow and pink plum blossoms.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath. It seems that there is still a faint fragrance of plum blossoms in the cold air, which makes people feel refreshed.

Ji Chonglian turned her head and nodded slightly to Jiang Yinlan, and said sincerely: "Thank you Madam Jiang for allowing me to see such a beautiful scenery!"

Jiang Yinlan smiled slightly, and turned her eyes to the clump of plum trees again, her words were plain, but there was an indescribable meaning in her ears, "Sometimes I wonder if I won't see them in a year , they are no longer there? Because no one cultivated them, will they die quietly in one year? Their ability to grow is entirely due to the perseverance of self-growth, even in that mountain depression, even if Not many people can notice them, they still haven't given up, they are full of vitality and fragrance, and year after year, more people will always see them and appreciate their beauty!"

Ji Chonglian nodded with a smile, "The fragrance of wine has yet to be known to drinkers, but the fragrance of flowers... let it wait for Mrs. Jiang, a bosom friend!"
