Li Lin and his wife didn't get up until noon. They cooked some dumplings, which was considered a meal. It was freezing cold today, and there was a lot of ice in the two large jars, so the food was well preserved. .
At noon, the two went to the steward's yard at Meilin Villa to buy drawing boards, paper and pens, inks and paints, and then went up the mountain to see the plum blossoms.
Meilin Villa is surrounded by a mountain, which is covered with plum trees, so it is called Meishan. There are also some courtyards scattered on Meishan.
However, due to the inconvenience of diverting hot spring water, there are no hot springs in the courtyard on the mountain. Moreover, the wind on the mountain is strong and it is colder than at the foot of the mountain. Therefore, few people live in the courtyard on the mountain, and most of them come to the hot spring at the foot of the mountain.
The two of them went to the top of the mountain. There were several pavilions on the top of the mountain to enjoy the scenery. When they stood in the pavilions, they could not only take in the plum groves on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain, but also see most of the Plum City in the distance.
Plum blossoms are planted everywhere at the foot of the mountain. The white snow has covered the earth with a new layer of snow-white. The plum blossoms are in full bloom on the plum trees, like a sea of flowers. When the wind blows, the plum blossoms will fly with the wind and mix with the white snow.
There is a poem that says, "The plum blossoms are three points whiter than the snow, but the snow loses the fragrance of the plum blossoms." At this time, the two are mixed together.
Looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, some have planted plum trees, and they are rushing to catch up with the last season of blooming. When the wind blows, the petals fall and flutter.
Looking at the Plum City from a distance, the city gates are tall, the streets are connected, and there are many houses. During this period, plum trees are scattered on the streets and in the yards of each house. When the wind blows, petals and white snow are blown up, just like a fairy city on earth.
She sat on the beauty's back in the pavilion and asked him to draw a picture for her.
At this time, she was wearing a begonia-colored dress, with a red wool cloak embroidered with plum blossoms on it. She had a simple bun on her head, and a plum blossom inlaid with silk in her hair.
She has a beautiful face, a bright and pure temperament, and a pair of eyes that seem clear but also covered with a layer of mist. When she faces you, she seems to be smiling at you.
When the wind blows, her waterfall-like green hair flutters slightly, and the tassels in her hair sway slightly, just like a plum blossom fairy in the plum forest.
Nearby is a mountain forest pavilion with several plum trees on the edge. At the foot of the mountain is a sea of plum blossoms, as are the mountains in the distance.
In the sea of flowers, white snow and white clouds, there seems to be a fairy city, misty and misty, as if it is not in the human world.
Li Lin sat under a plum tree on the top of the mountain, looked up at her with a smile, and then lowered his head to trace on the paper carefully, fearing that his skills were too poor to depict her beauty.
The two of them stayed at the top of the mountain for an afternoon and painted two paintings in total. One was a painting of her sitting on a beauty's back and looking at Meicheng in the distance. The other painting showed two people without changing the scene.
The two of them sat on the beauty's back. She leaned in his arms and turned to talk to him. He lowered his eyes and lowered his head, speaking softly, as if he was about to kiss her.
The affection is lingering, like green silk wrapped around the fingers, soft and greedy.
The light snow had stopped when we went down the mountain. Although there was no sunshine, the sky was bright and clear, as if the coldness of winter was about to dissipate and spring was coming soon.
The two of them went to the courtyard of the steward of Meilin Villa to eat in the evening. Because they were worried that the guests would not be able to eat, there was a canteen in the courtyard of Meilin Villa, which hired chefs with good cooking skills.
Guests of the villa can come here to eat, or they can have it sent to the yard.
The two of them ordered three dishes and one soup, planning to make do with a meal. Later, they found that the taste was not bad, so they decided to cook for themselves tomorrow morning and come over here to eat at night to avoid having to do anything else.
On the second day, the two of them walked around the Meilin Villa, admiring the scenery and flowers. However, they had seen a lot of plum blossoms recently, and there was really nothing new about them. In the afternoon, they went to a courtyard behind the steward's yard to listen to music and watch singing and dancing. .
When I went there, I happened to meet Mrs. Da Xi and Mr. Si. The four of them gathered at a table.
The tables in the room are very low, with wooden floors on the ground, and earth dragons are burned. The guests sit on the floor with futons, drinking tea and eating, listening to music and enjoying singing and dancing.
"These pine nuts are delicious. They are all brought back from Dingzhou. They are plump and fragrant after being fried." Mrs. Daxi shared the pine nuts with her. "There are also plum blossom cakes and plum blossom waffles. They are all made. Yes, drinking a cup of plum blossom wine is simply a human enjoyment."
"Try it, it tastes really good."
Since coming to Meicheng, Su Wan has drank all kinds of plum blossom wine and green plum wine, as well as all kinds of plum blossom and green plum food. She is really a little tired of it, but she also tried it on her face. The taste is indeed good, but She prefers pine nuts.
While she was eating, she couldn't peel it off by herself, so the people around her peeled off some for her, then put them on a plate in front of her.
Mrs. Daxi chuckled: "When it comes to couples, I have seen a lot of them, but it is rare for people like you to always have a good relationship. It seems that you have never blushed and quarreled."
Su Wan's face turned red, and she whispered, "Why haven't we had any arguments? Occasionally our teeth would fight, let alone two people, but you didn't see it."
Of course they quarreled, but most of the time she was angry unilaterally. Fortunately, he was tolerant of her and willing to coax her.
But sometimes, this person is quite angry with her.
Thinking of this, she glared at him.
Li Lin looked innocent, then he simply lowered his head and pinched a walnut for her and placed the walnut kernels on the plate in front of her: "Eat more to nourish your brain."
Su Wan raised his eyebrows: "You mean my brain is not good and I need to supplement it, right?"
Mrs. Da Xi burst into laughter and said, "Okay, you two, you don't have to worry about patching it up or anything. He'll peel it for you and you can eat it. I don't even want to eat it."
Hearing this, Mr. Si on the side smiled and rolled up his sleeves: "I'll peel it for you if you want to eat it. You said it as if I had wronged you."
Mrs. Daxi was really happy, and asked him to help open the walnuts. After eating a few walnut kernels, she felt that they were much more delicious than the ones she had opened.
Su Wan ate one himself, and then gave another one to Li Lin. The two of them ate separately: "Take it together and make up for it together."
I have a bad mind, and you have a bad mind, so it’s fair.
Li Lin smiled helplessly, and then continued to squeeze walnuts. He thought that if no one else was around, he should rub her head and pinch her face at this moment.
Mrs. Daxi sighed: "I heard that you are leaving after the New Year. I really feel reluctant to leave."
Mrs. Da Xi and Su Wan were very different in temperament, but she felt happy every time she saw this loving couple.
Probably the love between man and woman that I didn't believe in seemed to have been fulfilled by these two people.
