"Pit" you for three lives and three lives

Chapter 42

This is the early spring of Zhaoming's 15th year, and Sima Yu is 11 years old.

It was snowing outside.

Both Wei Lang and Xie Lian went to Wang Yan's house, and Sima Yu was left alone, and he felt very bored.I just wrapped a long cloak, and watched the snow in a smoked cage alone.

In fact, not only Wei Lang noticed something was wrong, Sima Yu also vaguely sensed that he seemed to be in trouble with the Wang family.Every time I mention it, I have a headache and tinnitus, which is very annoying.

He is the kind of person who the more he is not allowed to touch something, the more he wants to find out. I don't know how many times he has planned to go to Wang's house to see what's going on.However, every time I set off, I felt more and more uncomfortable.Sometimes I feel as sad as if my heart is being pinched, and I can't breathe.I had to give up.I ordered the imperial physician to come and see him, but the imperial physician only said that he was full of energy and blood, very strong, and there was nothing wrong with him.

Sima Yu became more and more puzzled.

In fact, he is not afraid of the cold, he has already practiced taking cold showers in these winters.The reason why the cloak was wrapped at this moment was because some palace people were afraid that he would be frozen, so they turned it out specially.He was usually annoyed by these people being around him the most, but this time he picked them up out of nowhere.

At this moment, I was covered in sweat.However, looking at the vast expanse of snow outside, I feel like something is covered by some kind of snow in my heart.For a moment, I didn't want to move.

He raised his hand to bring tea to drink, and stopped halfway through.He looked around, but didn't know what he was looking for.The tea soup is tasteless in the mouth.He threw it away casually.

After sitting for a while, he simply pulled up the cloak and hat, got up and strode into the snow.

White snow flutters, the sky is cloudy and low, and the buildings on all sides are covered with a layer of dwarf and wide.Looking as far as the eye can see, there is only a vast scene.

Sima Yu walked all the way to the Xianyang Hall by stepping on the snow that had not left any tracks on the ground.This is a road he has been familiar with since he was a child.

Entering Taicheng, near the outside of Xianyang Hall, there is a flowing water.Because the source is a hot spring, the more it is in this severe cold, the more white mist rises.Snowflakes melted on the white mist.Everything is white in color, except that the water is as green as jade, and the snowflakes on the withered vines on both sides are half-accumulated and half-melted, and the bluestones are exposed.Where the Qushui leads to a secluded place, the Dongliu Yuting of Xianyang Hall is hidden by the vegetation, mountains and rocks.Going forward through an arch bridge, after exiting a courtyard gate, there is a smooth road from north to south.It is also the main road in Taicheng.

Sima Yu stopped here.

A court lady who came to fetch water came out with a smile, and when she saw Sima Yu there, she quickly fell silent and knelt down to pay her respects.

Sima Yu looked at them in a daze for a while.I don't know what to think in my mind.He turned around silently and left.

He was far away, and the two little maids got up joking with each other.

"That look startled me, I thought His Highness had taken a fancy to you."

The other smiled and hit her, "What nonsense are you talking about? The water is getting cold, if you don't bring it up, I will punish you carefully."

However, every time the prince came to Xianyang Palace, his eyes were always looking for something on the maid.It was also time for him to know the affairs of the people, and there were not many court ladies in the palace who were thinking about it.It's just that no one has figured out his preferences.

The two of them tied their hairpins together before stepping into the hall.

Sima Yu braved the snow and walked forward.He always felt like something was missing.But what was missing, he didn't know.It's just that the dazed mood is like white snow, falling down non-stop.

After coming out of Grandma's place, Ari watched the snow under the corridor.

This is already the third year since she read the file in the third week.Her birthday is on the first day of the new year, and she is ten years old by this year.

In the past two days, her mother-in-law has begun to think about her husband's family. Although she didn't say anything, she probably already has a clear account in her heart, which just needs to be checked.Ari can feel that this time her mother is still looking for Xie Lian.

It's perfectly normal to have a crush on Xie Lian.First of all, the two families have a close relationship, and they are both first-class famous families. She has seen first-class talents, and her mother has already seen how smart Xie Lian is.Secondly, Xie Lian treated her differently from others intentionally or unintentionally.If nothing else, just talk about Ahri's birthday.Because it was the time when everyone was busy with the new year, even her parents didn't specially celebrate her birthday, but Xie Lian always remembered to prepare another birthday gift for her besides the annual gift.The gifts are not expensive, but quite elegant and decent.

Not a relative's peer, let alone a very close friend.This kind of thought is very rare.It's no wonder that Ah Li Niang is particularly pleasing to his eyes.

Ari shrank in the turtle shell for three years, and finally this day came.

The last thing she wants to hurt in this world is Xie Lian.Therefore, she responded politely and indifferently to Xie Lian's overtures over the years.

However, Xie Lian was born with a talent in interpersonal relationships.When he wants to make friends with you, whether he is willing or not is not up to you.

Ever since I gave Ahri a bamboo fan that year, although the communication between the two has been indifferent, it has never been interrupted.Whenever Ari thought it was coming to an end, Xie Lian had the ability to continue.He chooses the right time, whether it is an annual gift, or a souvenir for you by the way, or a birthday gift, or a congratulatory gift-he can always pick out one or two bright eyes that are upright.

However, the Wang family's tutor is so strict.If there is coming, there must be going. You can neither be courteous nor disrespectful to others.And this encounter was different from the time when Xie Lian went to Yanzhou back then, it was not privately taught, nor did it avoid people's eyes and ears.Therefore, Ari had to continue to return the gift.

Xie Lian has a good sense of proportion.Indifferent and long-term, it is the bearing of a gentleman.However, he always remembers you, and he treats you differently.He didn't say it clearly, but the blank space was meaningful.It's okay for you to say that you have close family friends, but you are a bit self-deceiving.

Ari can pretend to be tender, shirk his youth, and pretend not to know.However, there will always be a day when this excuse cannot be used.

The wisteria vines on the corridor are curly and twisted, with dead branches protruding from the corridor, the branches pick up white snow, and fluffy new shoots grow under the snow.

The courtyard is rocky.Among the stones, the orchid flowers and trees are all covered by white snow, exquisite and crystal clear like a thousand trees of Qionghua, but there is no trace of color.

The snow is getting heavier.

Ahri was wearing a scarlet cloak, with the hood turned up, revealing only a palm-sized face.The cold wind in the south of the Yangtze River does not cut the face, but the water vapor in the wind brings the chill in a little bit.After staying outside for a long time, the face seemed to have been lightly rouged, and a fresh pink color appeared under the fair and fat skin.Eyes are as clean as water.

As soon as Xie Lian walked into the old lady's yard, she saw Ari standing there.The color is rich and strong like red plum, but clear and indifferent like ice and snow.

Seeing him come in, he salutes from afar and nods his head.Like clouds and water.Xie Lian's heartbeat actually slowed down by half a beat, and even Bai Xue became sweet and graceful in an instant.

He stopped in his tracks, and touched his heart with his hands, feeling a little puzzled.After a while, he nodded to Ahri in return.

Ari stopped looking at him, and still looked at the wind returning to the snow in the courtyard, dancing in the air.

The old lady doesn't like thanking her family.Not for anything else, just because Sikong Wangqin's family and Grand Tutor Xie had a bad relationship, and Taifu Xie Shiling's daughter abandoned her husband.Wang Qin's family and Wang Tan's family belonged to the same family, the old lady was of course oriented towards her own family, so she didn't like to talk to Xie Huan very much.

It's just that Xie Lian is a young man who is really handsome and elegant, and the old lady is not one to vent her anger on the younger generation, she has always been kind to Xie Lian.

Xie Lian never forgot to visit the old lady's house when he came to Wang's house.

It's just that like Wei Lang, he chatted happily with the old lady as soon as he entered, as if he had been friends for a long time, it was impossible.

But the time for two cups of tea has already come out.

Where was Ari standing when he came out.Xie Lian hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward.

.

In Xianyang Palace, the queen was talking to several sisters-in-law and daughters.

Sima Yu wandered in, seeing a group of aunts and sisters, he was stunned for a while.

Fortunately for others, Princess Changyi was raised in front of the queen, and she didn't have much to avoid when she watched him grow up.Seeing his humble appearance, he laughed first, "It's the first lunar month, who are you making a fuss about?"

Sima Yu: ...=__=
After saying hello to my aunts and sisters, I made a face at Princess Changyi, and then went to the queen.

In front of the princesses, the queen never favored Sima Yu.The mother, daughter, and sister-in-law were chatting about family matters, and expressed their dislike for Sima Yu's intrusion, "Didn't you say that you are going out to play today? Why did you come to me?"

Sima Yu said: "I don't feel well, I didn't go." He stared at the queen for a while, and said, "Aniang, I have something to ask you."

Queen:  …

"Let's just say that you didn't ask me for something when you came back." He also laughed, "Tell me, but what trouble did you cause again?"

"It's a good thing this time, I promise." Without waiting for the queen to say anything, she pulled a bed and sat down, "I want Wang Tan's son to be my reading companion."

——Since he can't go to Wang's family, he might as well let Wang's family come to see him.

As soon as he said it, it aroused the empress's thoughts, but the empress didn't answer for a while.Just ask Princess Changyi, "Is your husband's family related to Wang Tan's family?"

Princess Changyi smiled and said: "Yes. I dare not say anything else, but this son of Wang Tan's family is excellent. Although he is young, he does not fall behind in everything. The most rare thing is his pure mind, integrity and reason."

The queen nodded, "It must be a good family education to be able to teach such a son."

"I think it's not bad." Princess Changyi heard that the queen wanted to inquire, so she continued, "There are two sisters in his family. The older one is ten years old, named Wang Lin; the younger one is only one year old, and has not yet been named. Regardless of the older ones, the older ones don't like to show their faces very much, and it's hard to judge what kind of character they are--calligraphy and embroidery are outstanding. Last year my husband's grandmother celebrated her birthday, and she showed up with Mrs. Wang, "thinking He said with a smile, "The appearance is also very upright, but he doesn't like to talk. I heard that he has been articulate since he was a child."

The queen said: "This is not a problem. Being smart has its advantages, and being quiet also has its advantages."

Princess Changyi smiled and nodded.

On the other hand, Princess Jing'an, who was sitting beside her, frowned and said, "When you said it, I remembered, that Wang Lin was playing straw weaving with a kid in the hall that day?"

Everyone in the room looked at Princess Changyi.Princess Changyi was very embarrassed, but Princess Jing'an was her aunt, so she couldn't argue, so she could only answer: "It's her. The other one is not a kid, he is the seventh son of Uncle Jing's family, named Shen Suanzi. He also said, "By this year, I'm only four years old."

Princess Jing'an said even more contemptuously, "So she's a slave."

Shen Jing is a common son, and his mother's family is humble.Although the talent is very outstanding, he is always ridiculed as a slave of Shen's family - this era does not treat concubines as human beings, it is really because the first wife's natal family is not easy to mess with.

Princess Jing'an believed that she was the descendant of Empress Dowager Yu, knowing that the emperor herself was a descendant of a concubine, but she still said that, in fact, she was deliberately setting off map bombs.

Then someone smoothed things over and changed the subject with a smile, "This little lady is a child at heart."

Princess Changyi said: "That's not true - the child heard the sarcastic remarks and secretly cried in the hall. The whole room was surrounded by Shen Tianzi, and no one cared about him. When Wang Lin saw it, she weaved a straw Grasshopper gave it to him and teased him for a while."

Princess Jing'an said again: "It's still demeaning to hang out with a slave."

Even Princess Changyi was a little annoyed this time, so she ignored her, and only said to the queen, "I saw her smiling at Shen Suanzi, it's really pretty."

Usually it was Sima Yu and Si Ni, but this time he was more stunned than anyone else, as if his mind had wandered away.

The queen also laughed and said: "This girl is quite soft-hearted."

Then he picked up the cup again, pulled the tea stem, and said to Sima Yu: "I will tell your father sometime. It's just one thing. His child is different from yours. When he comes, don't bully him."

Princess Changyi secretly dragged Sima Yu twice before he came back to his senses.He hurriedly said, "Of course."

Queen, this is what it means to see off guests.The people didn't sit down for a long time, and got up to say goodbye.

Sima Yu called to stop Princess Changyi, "My sister has found the copybook I wanted. Wait a moment, and I'll send someone to fetch it." Princess Changyi had no choice but to stay.

Not long after, Sima Yu finished dealing with the queen's questioning, and hurriedly chased after him.

Princess Changyi smiled and said, "Where's the copybook? Bring it."

Sima Yu didn't take it seriously, and said, "I have some over there, sister can pick whatever she wants."

Princess Changyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You are so generous—tell me, what's the matter?"

Sima Yu said: "That..." His heart throbbed again, and even his mind was a little dark, but he held back and forced himself to speak, "Wang Lin... tell me again."
