As soon as the snow falls in Meicheng, the plum blossoms will bloom, and Meicheng, which has been dormant for more than half a year, begins to become lively.
Every time at this time, literati and nobles from all over the Western Wei Dynasty would come in carriages and travel thousands of miles just to enjoy the winter scenery of Plum City.
This first snowfall was light and stopped after only two days. However, after the snowfall, the weather became much colder than before. The snow piled up in the yard and melted very slowly.
The colder the weather got, the faster the plum blossoms seemed to bloom. In just two days, clusters of cold plum blossoms were dyed on the branches, facing the winter wind and snow, blooming in the cold moon of ice and snow.
After the snow stopped for two days, Su Wan took a rare trip out and went to a teahouse to listen to a book. He also saw a lot more people coming and going on the streets, a lot more luxurious carriages, and the teahouse was full of people. It was so busy that we almost couldn't even book a private room.
"This is already the last room. Although the location is a bit worse, if Madam lives for a few more days, the private room must be reserved in advance. Otherwise, you will have to sit in the lobby."
Su Wan finally asked for the private room, but fortunately it was just to listen to a book. It would have been extremely inconvenient to watch some singing and dancing.
"There are a lot more people in Meicheng City these days?"
Suichuan said: "Since it started snowing, many people have come here every day. There are indeed a lot more."
Su Wan was a little worried: "There are so many people, and there are so many troubles. Previously, Meicheng was quiet, and the clan leaders were reasonable. There were few people like Wei Du who bullied others and were unreasonable. Now that these people are here, I don't know what to do." Can you enjoy the scenery?"
Suichuan said: "Madam, you don't have to worry about this. Just bring more people with you when you go out in the future. If anyone is not discerning, my subordinates will deal with it."
"It can only be the."
Su Wan rarely came out, so he sat down with everyone to listen to a book and eat something. At that time, the storyteller on the stage was telling folk stories about ghosts and monsters, and it happened to be a story about a fairy repaying a favor.
The goblin is a vixen in the mountains. She is extremely beautiful. When she was almost hunted, she was accidentally rescued by a scholar. Later, in order to repay the scholar, she turned into a girl and took care of her and protected him.
Su Wan found it interesting. Although it was a little noisy downstairs in the lobby, the story was pretty good and the trip was worthwhile.
But halfway through, someone started making a fuss in the private room on the second floor.
It turned out that the young master who had come down from the Imperial City had not booked a private room, but he was not willing to sit in the lobby, so he asked someone to take them to the best private rooms, knock on the door and ask for the private room to be given to him. .
The other party didn't want to, so they started making trouble.
Xie Si'an went out to watch the excitement for a while, and came back soon: "Madam, it was Mr. Si and Mrs. Daxi who made trouble."
"Why are they?" Su Wan was slightly surprised, so he took the people out to take a look, and happened to see Mrs. Da Xi having someone take out a young man in white and throw him to the ground.
"Young master of the Wen family in the capital of the country? Who do I think you are? This is not the capital of your country. This is Meicheng. If you want to act wild, go back to your capital. Don't come here and take yourself seriously."
Mr. Si stood aside. He was wearing a sapphire blue gown and a cloak. He was also twisting a string of Buddhist beads in his hand. He looked noble, upright, and full of momentum.
His tone was calm and slightly cold: "The Wen family in the capital of the country? This is the first time I've heard of it."
"Si Mou has heard of the Wang family, the Xie family, Shangguan Murong, and the first twenty people, but he has never heard of the Wen family, and he doesn't know about the cats and dogs in the capital. They feel like they are the same when they go to other places. Tiger lion.”
The Si family is no longer afraid of the name "Guodu Clan". The Si family's surname is Si. In fact, in the early years, they were the same family as the Sima family in the capital. Later, to avoid enemies, they changed their surname to Si and settled in Meicheng. Now they are also among the top few in Meicheng. One of the clans.
There has always been a friendly relationship between the two families. Therefore, although the Si family is in Meicheng, they know a lot about the affairs of the capital. If they are famous in any country, it is okay to deceive others. If you want to deceive the Si family, you are simply asking for death. .
Mrs. Daxi chuckled twice: "No, which Wen family is the Wen family? I'm really scared. Could you please tell me where the Wen family lives? Who is in the family? We, too, sent People go and say hello.”
The young master's family is just a small clan in Guodu that relies on the big clan. He just wants to use the name of "Guodu Clan" to scare people because others don't know about it.
The capital of the Western Wei Dynasty is a place where big clans live together. No one from outside the country can afford to offend any noble prince. Therefore, once the title of 'Capital Clan' is raised, people in this small place will naturally not dare to offend him.
He has used this method to fish in troubled waters and bully others. He doesn't know how many times he has done it. Who knows that today he will be kicked out of trouble.
The other party hesitated and couldn't explain why. He probably knew that he had offended someone today and was afraid that it would bring down the whole family, so he simply kept silent.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Mrs. Daxi didn't bother to argue anymore, and ordered the guards on the side: "Throw this man to the door of the restaurant. Anyone who acts wildly in Meicheng from now on must first consider his identity."
What Mrs. Da Xi hates the most is these so-called clan princes who take advantage of others. Every year when winter comes, they make this plum city so smoky that people can no longer even enjoy the scenery.
Some guards picked up the troublemaking young men and carried them downstairs. Mrs. Daxi glanced around and saw Su Wan in the crowd, and then she was a little surprised: "Mrs. Su, why are you out today?"
Su Wan stepped forward and said, "I've been a little bored these past few days, so I went out to listen to a book. Who would have thought that in just a few days, there would be so many people in the city, and you two would also come out to listen to a book?"
Mr. Si is not a person who likes to smile. He twitched the corners of his lips slightly and said hello: "Mrs. Su."
Mrs. Da Xi said: "How does he know how to listen to books? I forced him to come out today. There are many people now, but have you booked a private room? If not, you can squeeze in with us today."
"Yes." Su Wan didn't want to disturb the couple's get-together, "We arrived late, and there happened to be only one left, but the location is not very good, but it's okay to listen to a book, so I won't disturb you."
Mrs. Daxi smiled. In fact, she didn't really want to be disturbed. After all, it was rare for the two of them to go out together: "Then I will ask you next time. When will your Mr. Li come back? You have been back for half a month. Come on, why haven’t you seen him?”
"I have something to do and I will be busy. It will take a while before I come back."
"Then when he comes back, I will invite you and your wife to come together. The Si family has a Meilin Villa outside the city. It is a good place to go in winter. You and your wife can go and play..."
