When Jiang Shu woke up the next day, the snow had not stopped yet.
Seeing the vast white outside the house, Jiang Shu couldn't wait to put on her makeup, so she ran outside with her hair down.
"Princess, it's too cold outside, put on your cloak before going out." Chu Yu hugged the fox fur cloak and chased after her.
Knowing that Jiang Shu couldn't help but want to go out to play in the snow, Chu Yu specially brought a hooded cloak.
"Give it to me." Yu Zheng reached out and grabbed the cloak held by Chu Yu, strode out of the house, and stepped on the thick snow to find Jiang Shu.
It had been a long time since he had played in the snow. Jiang Shu happily stepped around in the snow.
"Crunch - crunch -" The soft snow was stepped into small pits, making a pleasant and relaxing sound.
Jiang Shu liked hearing it very much, and lifted up the hem of her skirt to step on it deliberately.
"Don't move." Yu Zheng unfolded his cloak, and with a solemn face, Juan tied it on her and put on his hood.
The snow-white fluffy white fox fur hat contrasts with Jiang Shu's bright smiling face, which looks like a beautiful jade flower blooming in the snow. It is so beautiful that it is shocking.
"Husband, let's play in the snow together." Jiang Shu pulled Yu Zheng and stepped on the snow in the courtyard.
Yu Zheng followed her closely, fearing that she would accidentally fall, and was ready to help her at any time.
Fortunately, Jiang Shu knew the rules and didn't move too much. After trampling all the snow in the courtyard, he went to make a pile of snow in front of the stone table to play.
They kept playing until Shuanghua Tanyu laid out the breakfast and called her to come in to eat, and Jiang Shucai entered the room still unsatisfied.
Because he was wearing thick clothes and moving around, Jiang Shu didn't feel cold, but his cheeks and hands were a little cold.
Chu Yu brought Mrs. Tang to cover her hands, and soaked a hot cotton handkerchief to iron her face.
After covering his hands and face to warm them, Jiang Shu began to eat.
Warm milk soup, paired with shortbread cookies, bird's nests, etc., perfectly matched with the snowy winter weather. Jiang Shu ate it comfortably and warmly.
After the meal, Chuyu handed Jiang Shuyuzheng a hot handkerchief to cleanse his hands, and Shuanghua brought warm tea to rinse their mouths.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Shu looked at the white snow outside the house with bright eyes, fascinated.
Chu Yu reminded: "Princess, it's time to dress up, otherwise Mr. Zhou, Princess and the others will arrive soon."
"Then you move faster." Jiang Shu got up and went into the inner room, sitting down in front of the dressing table.
Chu Yushuanghua divided the work, one person tied the hair and the other applied makeup.
The snow gradually stopped, and it was quiet and cold outside the house. Everything as far as the eye could see was covered in white snow, and the vast expanse of ice and snow seemed like clouds falling from the sky to the world.
Taking advantage of Jiang Shu's break in dressing up, Yu Zheng ordered people to decorate the plum grove in the backyard.
Among the people who received the invitation, Zhou Boxu was the first to arrive.
Not long after Jiang Shu finished dressing, Yu Lan and Sun Yijun also arrived one after another.
"Why is Yu Yuan so slow?" Sun Yijun complained, stamping his feet.
Yu Lanwen smiled and said: "No problem, let's go to the back garden to enjoy the scenery and drink tea first."
A few people were preparing to go to the back garden when Yu Yuan came in gracefully.
"Brother Zheng, Sister Huang." Yu Yuan greeted them with a smile.
"Prince Yu." Zhou Boxu cupped his hands in greeting.
Yu Yuan laughed: "Master Zhou."
Knowing the reason for Zhou Boxu's appearance here, Yu Yuan glanced at Yu Lan meaningfully, then patted Zhou Boxu's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Do your best, Mr. Zhou, I'll call you brother-in-law."
When Zhou Boxu heard this, he raised the corners of his lips and responded with a smile: "Okay."
Although Yu Lan didn't hear what they were saying, it was not difficult to guess from the look and expression that it was related to her, and she blushed slightly at the moment.
"Let's go to the back garden." Jiang Shu was thinking about Yu Zheng painting her portrait and couldn't wait.
"Let's go." Yu Zheng put his feet forward and the group went to the back garden.
Afraid of Jiang Shu accidentally falling, Yu Lan and Sun Yijun held her arms on the left and right, and Chu Yu and others followed behind.
The back garden is very wide and vast, and the ground is covered with thick white snow, like a soft carpet.
The tall and short trees are wrapped in silver and stretch out their branches to show their most beautiful posture.
The cold and calm lake surface is like a piece of jade, and the pavilion in the center of the lake is covered with snow, like a pearl dotted on it.
A group of people walked into the plum forest, and the white snow and red plum trees cuddled closely together. The snow in the background was whiter and the plum trees were redder. The beauty was warm and shocking.
In the open space of Merlin, there was a painting plan table and several charcoal braziers.
Sun Yijun looked around the table and said with envy: "You still know how to enjoy it. You can walk in the snow, admire plum blossoms, drink tea and paint without leaving the house."
Everywhere in Shangjing is covered with snow, but as big as the back garden of Prince Jing’s Mansion and with such beautiful scenery, it’s hard to find another place.
If they hadn't been invited by Jiang Shuyuzheng, if they wanted to enjoy such a scenery, they would have had to go to the plum garden in the north of the city, or the plum grove outside the city.
Of course, it's not that there are no plum trees in other mansions, but they are far less numerous and spectacular than those in Prince Jing's mansion.
When they arrived at the plum grove, they didn't want to drink tea and warm themselves up by the fire. They just walked in the plum grove and enjoyed the scenery.
Yu Zheng held Jiang Shu's hand and walked slowly east.
Sun Yijun had a snowball fight with Yu Yuan, chasing each other to the west with laughter.
Yu Lan raised his feet and walked deep into the plum forest, and Zhou Boxu followed him silently.
After walking for a long time, neither of them spoke, only the slight sound of boots on the snow.
Seeing a branch of delicate red plum blossoms in full bloom, Yu Lan stopped and reached out to break it.
However, the plum branch was too high, and she could not reach it even if she stood on tiptoes and stretched out her arms.
Zhou Boxu suddenly approached, reached out from behind Yu Lan, broke off the plum blossoms and handed them to her.
Yu Lan held the plum blossom close to the tip of her nose, and the cold plum fragrance penetrated her nose, but she had no intention of feeling it. Because Zhou Boxu was so close, so close that she seemed to be able to feel his body temperature, and her heart was pounding.
"What does it smell like?" Zhou Boxu suddenly said.
What else can plum blossoms taste like?
Yu Lan turned around and brought the plum blossoms to him: "Smell it yourself."
Zhou Boxu lowered his head and sniffed it very seriously, staring at Yu Lan with burning eyes and said: "It smells the same as yours."
Yu Lan loves the fragrance of plum, and her clothes are often smoked with plum fragrance. Comparing Zhou Boxu carefully, it is indistinguishable from the plum blossoms just cut off.
"You like it?" Yu Lanying's white face turned slightly red.
"Yes." Zhou Boxu nodded and looked at her intently.
Yu Lan stuffed the plum blossoms in his hand into his arms: "Here you go."
If you like it, sniff it slowly.
Zhou Bexu raised his hand, but instead of picking up the plum blossoms, he held Yu Lan's hand.
Yu Lan was startled and retreated subconsciously.
Zhou Boxu reacted very quickly and put his other hand around her waist.
"Princess." Zhou Boxu pulled Yu Lan into his arms with a little force.
Yu Lan's body and mind trembled slightly, her eyes looking at Zhou Poxu's broad chest, and she didn't dare to raise her head to look at him.
Although she has been a mother for many years and is very young, the relationship between man and woman has not gone through much.
Especially when facing Zhou Boxu, her state of mind seemed to be stuck in the past, when she was seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Your hands are frozen, let me cover them for you." Zhou Boxu's broad palms wrapped Yu Lan's soft skin, transferring the warmth from his palms to Yu Lan's hands.
The warmth that was not his own seeped into the back of his hands and spread to his limbs and bones, making Yu Lan's heart feel hot and his ears heating up.
Zhou Boxu lowered his eyes and stared at Yu Lan's shy face, which seemed more beautiful than the red plum blossoms in the snow.
With deep and dark eyes, Zhou Boxu bowed his head and kissed Yu Lan's smooth forehead.
Yu Lan raised his eyes in shock: "You...you don't want etiquette anymore?"
