Chapter 81 Together
Snow started to fall in the middle of the night, gradually getting heavier. At dawn, Shangjing has been covered, and everywhere you look is a vast expanse of white.
Jiang Ning got up early to endorse, and when she saw Xuehou, she ran to Shutongyuan excitedly.
"Sister, get up quickly, it's snowing!"
Jiang Shu was still in the warm bed when he heard Jiang Ning's cry and got up reluctantly.
"Girl, please wear thicker clothes. It will be cold outside before the snow stops." Chu Yu stopped Jiang Shu who was about to go out and put a thick fur cloak on her.
Tan Yu opened the door and Jiang Shufang walked out. A snowball came towards her and hit her on the head.
"Hahaha..." Jiang Ning laughed wildly and bent down to grab the snowball.
Jiang Shu pretended to be angry: "Okay, you're itchy, right? Let's see how I deal with you."
Jiang Shu quickly ran to the yard, took some snow, formed a snowball, and threw it at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning dodged flexibly and hit Jiang Shu with a snowball.
Jiang Shu crouched down to avoid it, and the snowball hit Tan Yu behind him.
Tan Yu shook off the snow on her head and said angrily: "Girl, I will help you make snowballs!"
There is snow everywhere on the ground, on the trees, and on the stone tables. There was also heavy snow falling down, and soon the three of them were covered with snow.
Chu Yu was afraid that they would catch the cold and get sick, so he quickly called them into the house and ordered the kitchen to cook ginger soup and bring it to them.
"The first snow this year is so heavy." Jiang Shu sighed while holding ginger soup and looking at the flying snow outside the window.
"Suddenly, a spring breeze came overnight, and thousands of pear blossoms bloomed on the trees." Jiang Ning thought of the new poem he had learned before the holiday, and it was very fitting to read it at this time.
After hearing this, Jiang Shu praised: "Those who have gone to school are different."
Although she has read many books, she has not gone to school like men. After all, her knowledge is different.
"Sister, do you want to learn? I'll teach you." Jiang Ning was very interested.
Jiang Shu shook his head: "I have also read the poem you read, but I don't just read it like you do."
"My sister is also very capable. Not only can she help my mother run the house, but she can also do business like my father. She can do it a hundred times better than many men in the world." Jiang Ning's eyes were full of admiration and love.
In Jiang Ning's eyes, Jiang Shu is the best sister in the world.
Jiang Shu chuckled and touched Jiang Ning's head like he did when he was a child.
Jiang Ning tilted her head to avoid it and said with a serious face: "I have grown up and am no longer a child."
"Yes, yes, I will be thirteen and a half after the Chinese New Year."
"Sister, you are laughing at me!"
The New Year comes with laughter between the siblings.
Because Jiang Shu returned home, this New Year was more lively than in previous years.
Family reunion is the happiest thing in the world.
What touched Jiang Shu the most was that Jiang's father and mother actually prepared new year's money for her.
In the eyes of her parents, no matter how old she is or whether she has been married, she will always be their child.
Soon after the New Year comes the Shangyuan Festival, the favorite festival of Shangjing people.
Girls and ladies who are usually bound by etiquette and rules can go out to enjoy the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, which is the busiest day in the capital.
Yu Yuan had greeted Jiang Shu a few days ago. He was going to the palace for a banquet on the Lantern Festival and asked Jiang Shu to take charge of Cuiyun Tower.
Jiang Shu and the shopkeeper stayed until the end of Xu Shi, and all the customers in the store had paid their bills and left. It was estimated that no one would come to eat again, so they asked the waiter to clean up and close the shop.
There were some dishes left in the kitchen, and Jiang Shu also asked the shopkeeper and the guys to take them back.
When shopkeeper Jiang Shutong locked the door and was about to leave, a voice sounded from behind him.
"Close?"
Jiang Shu turned around and saw Yu Zheng, wearing a black cloak, standing quietly in front of Cuiyun Tower like an eagle.
"Your Majesty?" Jiang Shu was surprised: "Why are you here so late?"
Yu Yuan had already gone to the palace to attend the banquet, so he should have gone too.
Yu Zheng looked at her, feeling a little aggrieved and said, "I'm not full at the palace banquet, so I'm here to get some food."
this……
Jiang Shu looked at Cuiyun Tower, where the lights were turned off and locked, and the cooks and waiters had all gone home, and he suggested: "There are many stalls outside today. How about I invite the prince to have a bowl of Yuanxiao?"
Yu Zheng was silent and nodded slightly.
So the two of them walked towards the lively streets together.
When Jiang Shu was about to ask him why he came out alone, he turned around and saw Zhuiyun Zhufeng following him far behind.
Tonight, Shangjing City is crowded with people, all kinds of lanterns are hung everywhere, and various stalls are lined on both sides of the streets, making it a noisy and prosperous scene.
The two walked half a street, found a small stall with few people, and ordered two bowls of Yuanxiao.
The people setting up the stall were an old couple with gray hair and coarse clothes, with happy and contented smiles on their wrinkled faces.
Jiang Shu watched them cooking Yuanxiao with an envious smile on his lips.
"Do you know them?" Yu Zheng asked suspiciously.
Jiang Shu shook his head and said softly: "I don't know him, I'm just a little envious."
"There are thousands of couples in the world, but it is rare for a few to share the same fate."
Yu Zheng savored her words and said puzzledly: "It was rare in my dynasty to divorce my wife. Except for those who died of illness midway, most couples could live together until the end of their lives."
Jiang Shu glanced at him when he heard this, and sighed: "But most of them are resentful couples, and their heads are buried with unwillingness and resentment. What's the point of having such a white head?"
Before Yu Zheng could answer, the old couple came over carrying Yuanxiao.
"You two gentlemen, please hurry up and go see Aoshan after eating. I heard that Aoshan is going to be big this year."
"Really? Then I have to go and have a look." Jiang Shu responded with a smile, scooped up a Yuanxiao with a spoon and blew it lightly.
Yu Zheng held the handle of the spoon and ate gracefully, staring at Jiang Shu's lightly bulging cheeks.
When Jiang Shu looked at him, Yu Zheng quickly looked away and pretended to eat Yuanxiao seriously.
"Would the prince go to see Aoshan after eating?" Jiang Shu asked while biting the Lantern Festival.
"Yeah." Yu Zheng responded softly.
Jiang Shu smiled when he heard this: "Then let's go together."
Now that she is a man, there is nothing wrong with going to see Aoshan with Yu Zheng.
Yu Zheng's face remained calm, but a trace of joy grew in his heart, spreading throughout his body like a vine.
There were so many people visiting Aoshan that the streets were packed to the brim. Jiang Shu squeezed outside the crowd for a long time, but failed to squeeze in.
She was a little discouraged, and when she was about to give up, she suddenly felt her waist tighten, and Yu Zheng flew up to the roof with her.
Jiang Shu was a little panicked when he stood so high for the first time. He grabbed Yu Zheng's cloak and didn't dare to let go.
"If you want to see Aoshan, you have to walk forward." Yu Zheng turned back and stretched out his hand towards her.
Even though everyone was here, Jiang Shu didn't show any pretense, stretched out his hand and put it into Yu Zheng's palm.
Yu Zheng held her tightly and led her to walk slowly on the roof.
Jiang Shu's hands were a little cold, and Yu Zheng felt a coolness coming from his palms directly to the bottom of his heart, giving rise to a strange tingling feeling.
Afraid of falling off the roof, Jiang Shu kept staring at her feet. She didn't know when Yu Zheng stopped, but she bumped into him and lost her balance.
Yu Zheng, with quick eyes and quick hands, pulled her to steady her body and said, "Just watch here."
"Okay." Jiang Shu stood firm and turned to look at Aoshan below.
"it's beautiful."
Seeing Aoshan from this perspective for the first time, Jiang Shu was completely stunned.
She hadn't seen Aoshan in six years and had almost forgotten what Aoshan looked like.
Just because Shen Changze was not in the capital, and Shen's mother said that she, a woman, was prone to gossiping when she went out, she had not seen the excitement of the Lantern Festival in six years.
Jiang Shuhu's gaze tightened as his apricot eyes glanced downwards.
Yu Zheng also saw it and turned to look at her.
