south wind into my arms

Chapter 32
The next day, Lu Sheng and the others got up early in the morning and had breakfast at the hotel, then took a taxi to Tiananmen Square.Parking was not allowed on Chang'an Street, so the taxi stopped at the intersection of Nanchang Street, and a few people got down and walked.

The thick lead cloud that has been accumulating since yesterday, finally light snow fell this morning.

When Lu Sheng got off the car, the ground had already been covered with a thin layer of snow, covering the ground like a silver veil.She opened her hand to catch it, and the snowflakes were small and crystal clear, and fell silently on her palm, melting as soon as it touched the skin, and it didn't even make people feel the coolness.

Ding Xiaoxiao shook Lu Sheng's hand and exclaimed, "Wow, Shengsheng, your hands are so warm!"

Lu Sheng smiled a little shyly, "Then warm your hands."

"Okay oh oh!"

The physical fitness of the athletes is very good, and few are weak and chilly.Lu Sheng felt that he had practiced tennis for several years, and now he was less and less afraid of the cold.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiyao stretched out his paws and said, "Junior Sister, I'm also cold, please help me warm."

Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly, but before she could say "good", Nan Feng grabbed Xu Zhiyao's hand first.He glanced lightly at Xu Zhiyao: "Master will help you warm up."

"..." Xu Zhiyao shuddered, and silently withdrew his hand, "Thank you, no need." The coldness of holding hands with a man is a hundred times more terrifying than running naked in the ice and snow...

Nanfeng stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Xu Zhiyao.At this moment, he always had the illusion that his cabbage was being coveted by pigs.

Facing the light snow, several people walked along the wide Chang'an Avenue to Tiananmen Square. In the distance was the red palace wall of the Forbidden City, reflecting the black branches of deciduous trees. Under the street lights in the morning, it looked quiet and deep.Soldiers on duty can be seen almost every few steps on the side of the road, wearing green military uniforms with live ammunition on their waists.When Lu Sheng saw those soldiers, she couldn't help being in awe. Thinking of Ding Xiaoxiao's novel, there were still many plainclothes policemen around, and she suddenly felt that this place was really mysterious and great.

There are many people in Tiananmen Square, and many of them are traveling with a group tour to watch the national flag raising.And today there are more people than usual, because today is the 21st.The custom of raising the national flag at Tiananmen Square is like this. Usually the national anthem is played on speakers, and only on the 1st, 11th, and 21st of each month, the military band plays live.Therefore, there are more people watching the national flag raising than usual in these three days.

They huddled in the dark crowd and waited for more than ten minutes before the ceremony finally started.The solemn national anthem was played, and Lu Sheng's gaze moved upwards with the national flag.The snow is falling more and more, like dandelions flying all over the sky.The bright red flag rises slowly against the wind and snow.When the national anthem reached its climax, her heart surged at that moment, and she didn't know why.

After the flag raising ceremony, Ding Xiaoxiao rubbed her hands and asked, "Shall we go back now?"

Nanfeng casually glanced at Lu Sheng beside him, and replied, "I don't need to train today, I'm going to visit the Forbidden City."

"Really?" Lu Sheng and Xu Zhiyao were very happy, but then Lu Sheng thought of another thing: "But there will be a draw this afternoon!"

Xu Zhiyao was afraid that these words would affect Nanfeng's decision, so he quickly said, "There is no rush to draw lots, and it doesn't matter if you don't go. Are you still worried that you won't make it to the top [-]?"

If they don't draw lots, the result is just to get the last remaining lottery, or the organizer helps to draw, anyway, it doesn't affect the overall situation.

The matter was so happily decided.After playing around for a while, they went to the Forbidden City opposite and waited in line to buy tickets.

At 08:30 in the morning, the snow fell more and more, and the small snowflakes in the morning became the size of velvet, fluttering like fluff.There are vendors selling oiled paper umbrellas outside Duanmen. The quality of the umbrellas is very rough, but they are better for the occasion: ink patterns, classical Chinese style.Nanfeng bought two.He and Lu Sheng played one with red plums reflecting the snow, and Xu Zhiyao and Ding Xiaoxiao, with two playful goldfish painted on the umbrella as white as water.

With such an umbrella, Xu Zhiyao always feels that he is moving against a fish tank.

The four of them walked into this centuries-old royal palace with oil-paper umbrellas.The Forbidden City in the wind and snow is silent and serene, like a sleeping monster.The white snow and red walls and glazed tiles are breathtakingly beautiful, as if you are in a picture scroll.

People who are not majors in architecture look at the Forbidden City, that is, to see something new, to listen to history and gossip.After watching more, it doesn't feel so fresh anymore.Moreover, the current palace is not open for viewing. You can only look at it from the outside, and you can't see any tricks. The most you can say is: This place is so big and this place is so beautiful.

After looking at the palace for a while, they went to the Treasure Hall.Lu Sheng is fine, seeing gold, emeralds, etc. is not moved, but Ding Xiaoxiao seems to have lost his mind, while watching and talking to himself, "Get rich, get rich, get rich!"

Xu Zhiyao disliked her a little, "Sister, wipe off your drool."

Ding Xiaoxiao pinched him, and he gasped in pain.

Lu Sheng covered his mouth and smiled.She walked and looked at the booth beside her, and couldn't help whispering, "Huh? What is this, it's so beautiful!"

The eyes of Ding Xiaoxiao and Xu Zhiyao were attracted, Nanfeng stood beside Lu Sheng, and answered for her, "This is tourmaline."

At this moment, Lu Sheng also saw the words on the label: Pink Tourmaline Eighteen Sons Bracelet (Qing·Guangxu).

It was a bracelet made of beads of two colors.The diameter of the pink tourmaline beads is about seven or eight millimeters, and the diameter of the two emerald beads is slightly larger. The tourmaline beads are evenly divided into two parts, nine on one side, and exactly eighteen when sandwiched together, so it is "Eighteen". Bracelets.One of the emeralds has delicate tassels at the bottom.

The pink tourmaline is bright in color, and the emerald green is about to drip. The two colors form a good color contrast effect, as if each has a life, clear and agile.Standing in front of the glass showcase, Lu Sheng exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"

Nan Feng asked, "Like it?"

"Ok!"

"I know why you like it."

"Why?" Lu Sheng turned her head to look at him, she was a little curious about his answer.

Nanfeng tapped the glass cabinet lightly with his fingertips, and he smiled, "Don't look at it, I'll go back and buy you candy."

What, he means, she likes this bracelet because it looks like fruit candy?Lu Sheng was a little embarrassed, glanced at the bracelet, uh, it really looks a bit like... Then, the more you look at it, the more it looks like... Well, her aesthetics are about to run away from home...

Xu Zhiyao asked in a low voice, "Coach, are you telling a joke?"

Ding Xiaoxiao: "Why do I feel so cold."

Xu Zhiyao: "But coach, it's rare for you to tell a joke."

Ding Xiaoxiao: "So should we cooperate? Have a laugh?"

Xu Zhiyao: "Hahaha..."

Ding Xiaoxiao: "Hahaha..."

They felt even more embarrassed after laughing.

After shopping around, Lu Sheng felt that the tourmalines on every piece of jewelry looked like fruit candies.

Coming out of the Treasure Hall, Ding Xiaoxiao studied it with a map and asked, "Should we continue to go there and visit the Imperial Garden?"

Xu Zhiyao shook his head and said: "The imperial garden must be bare, without flowers, we can only see the crows when we go."

None of them wanted to see crows, so they decided not to go to the Royal Garden.

A few people randomly walked into a nearby souvenir shop.Xu Zhiyao took a fancy to a folding fan. The bright yellow surface of the fan was naturally luxurious, and he wrote "I am such a man" in a chic and elegant font.

Xu Zhiyao slowly shook the paper fan and asked Lu Sheng, "Does it look good?"

Lu Sheng shook his head.

Ding Xiaoxiao spoke directly: "This folding fan is simply the combination of two diseases, especially with this weather, tsk tsk tsk."

Although the two girls gave negative comments, Xu Zhiyao remained unmoved.In the end, Nanfeng generously bought the folding fan and helped him realize his great dream of the second illness.

Then Ding Xiaoxiao and Lu Sheng picked out jewelry.Ding Xiaoxiao picked out hairpins, and when she saw one she liked, she picked it up and tried it on Lu Sheng's head.Every time Lu Sheng put a hairpin on his head, he asked Nanfeng once: "Does it look good?"

Nanfeng: Looks good, looks good, looks good, looks good...

Lu Sheng was a little depressed, "You always say it looks good." That means you didn't pay attention to it.

Nanfeng raised his eyebrows slightly: "What can I do, who made you look good."

Lu Sheng blushed, turned away and stopped talking.She lowered her head, her heart was beating wildly, and her mind was blank.

Ding Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Nanfeng, you are so good at talking! If anyone says such things to me, I will marry him!"

Xu Zhiyao: "Then you can rest assured that no one will say anything. Oops!" He was screwed again.

Lu Sheng and Ding Xiaoxiao picked out some hairpins and bracelets, and Nanfeng bought a lighter accessory, and they left the souvenir shop satisfied.

After going out the gate, there is a photo studio outside, where you can take pictures in Qing palace costumes. Ding Xiaoxiao and Xu Zhiyao are very excited.Nan Feng said that he could not accept such childish things.

Lu Sheng tugged at the corner of his clothes carefully, "Try it?"

Seeing her expectant little face, Nan Feng struggled a bit, but finally nodded.

An old man was standing in front of his booth soliciting customers: "Come here to take pictures. My house has dragon chairs, and there are no other places."

The four of them were led back by the old man. The old man asked, "What do you all want to wear?... This young man is handsome and handsome. I think you are suitable to be an emperor."

So Nanfeng didn't say anything, and was assigned a role by the old man.

"Who will be the queen?" Ding Xiaoxiao said to herself, she looked up and saw Nan Feng's paralyzed face, she was a little disgusted, she took two steps back and said, "I'm not going to be the queen."

Lu Sheng was embarrassed to speak up, but now the burden of empress would definitely fall on her shoulders, she was a little excited, and secretly glanced at Nanfeng.

Xu Zhiyao couldn't accept Coach Nan and Lu Sheng becoming a couple, so he said, "I want to be emperor too."

The old man: "Young man, are you trying to make trouble?"

"It's too far away, just take a picture..."

"That's not okay, we have principles."

Xu Zhiyao reluctantly said, "Then why don't I come to be the queen. Whoops!"

Nanfeng accidentally kicked Xu Zhiyao out.Seeing Xu Zhiyao staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground, Nan Feng also apologized, "I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back."

The old man asked Xu Zhiyao: "Are you a prince or a eunuch?"

"I want to be the emperor! The emperor, the emperor!"

"There are no clothes for the emperor."

"..." Xu Zhiyao was very powerless, feeling that no matter how much he fought, he could not escape the fate of being ostracized, so he had no choice but to say, "Being a man must have integrity, I will not be a prince."

Ding Xiaoxiao: So where is the integrity of being an eunuch?

The old man allocated the clothes and asked them to change.What Ding Xiaoxiao got was a set of checkered clothes, which were a little skinny. She was wearing a sweater and line pants. After putting on the clothes, she looked a bit bloated, like an elderly aunt.

Then, the chest was about to explode...

Ding Xiaoxiao held a poor-quality silk handkerchief in front of her chest, and complained: "Do you dare to add more fabric to your clothes?"

The old man was a little wronged: "The maid's clothes are suitable, but you don't wear them."

You must not wear it. If you can be a princess, you will choose to be a palace maid if your brain is filled with water...

After changing clothes, Nanfeng and Lu Sheng sat on the dragon chair, Ding Xiaoxiao and Xu Zhiyao stood on both sides of them, the cameraman shouted "Fat Cai", click, to freeze the scene.

The photos were developed on the spot.Four people, an emperor with a paralyzed face, an innocent queen, Gege who could be the queen's mother, and a... eunuch with a murderous look.

The photographer sighed, what a photo with a story.
