It was winter, and there was a thin layer of snow in Bianjing. It was white, and when the cold wind blew, the snow spread out like fog.

There are some silver particles floating in the air from time to time, and it hurts to hit people's faces.

.

The two characters of Zhoufu in gold foil are clearly printed on it, reflecting the skylight and shining brightly.

"Zhou Shaoqing, this is a happy housewarming, why don't you invite a few colleagues to sit in?" Another carriage lifted the thickened curtain and smiled while holding the stove.

"Another day, another day!" Zhou Hong jumped out of the carriage, stomped his feet in the cold, and waved to a few people.

"I think you are stopping me from waiting to meet Lingmei!" The young man teased.

Those people knew that he would not agree, so they chatted and laughed a few times, and left.

Ci Ke became more and more silent in the past two years, sometimes sitting in the courtyard for a whole day without moving, Zhou Hong felt distressed, so he changed the original old house, thinking of making her fresh , or to forget those past events in the old house.

Although the new mansion is smaller, it has all the internal organs, and it is enough for their brother and sister.

It's colder than in previous years, so I have to wear more clothes."

"Yes, I almost didn't freeze my nose this morning." Zhou Hong put his hand to his mouth to warm up, striding across the rockery, the original lame leg no longer affects walking, but if you look closely , you can also see long and short traces.

"Where's the girl?" Zhou Hong asked.

"

Zhou Hong clicked his tongue, took the umbrella in the handmaid's hand, and walked to the garden alone.

Exposed.

Zhou Hong couldn't help but slow down, walked up to her, and reached for the cold pipa in her arms. Fortunately, Cike didn't refuse, and let him take it.

"I'm back." Ci Ke said.

"It's really cold today, Your Majesty..." After seeing Ci Ke's changed eyes, he quickly changed his words, "The emperor also thought that the fire in the Wende Hall was not very hot, so he left a little earlier. ."

Ci Ke didn't show any expression, only hooked the corner of his mouth.

"Little sister, it's cold outside, let's go back to the house to warm up first?" Zhou Hong carefully asked for advice.

Ci Ke hummed, got up to shake off the snow that was blown into the pavilion by the wind, walked out of the pavilion slowly, walked out of the garden along the clean path, Zhou Hong held an umbrella for her.

"Is there any news about her yet?" Ci Ke suddenly said, his slender fingers that were red with cold grabbed the edge of the cloak and blocked his body.

Zhou Hong sighed, hesitated, then said: "Ci Ke, it's been two years, you..."

"Did you find Pei Ning?" Ci Ke interrupted his words.

"Peining has a great reputation in Jiangning Mansion, and seems to be connected with the local government, so it is not difficult to find." Zhou Hong bowed his head, "But, but Pei Ning also said that he has never I've seen Miss Ye, just like you, I've received a few letters."

"I said I waited for her to find me, but in the end I couldn't help it." Ci Ke sarcastically, stopped, looked back at the door in the distance, and muttered, "And Even if it's a letter, she hasn't written it for two months."

She touched her hand to her chest, where there were several sheets of thin paper, each page had been read hundreds of times.

"Ci Ke, you said it too, the handwriting of that letter..." Zhou Hong couldn't help scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks. of."

"She said in her letter that she was injured and could not pick up the pen." Ci Ke said word by word.

"But she hasn't shown up for so long, what can be explained in the letters, not her handwriting, and the content has been vague!" Zhou Hong couldn't help raising his voice, " Maybe she's already…”

"She told me to wait for her!" Ci Ke suddenly turned his head, his shoulders trembled slightly, his lips painted with lipstick were more gorgeous than Lamei, "She said in every letter, if she hadn't written it, Why did she ask me to wait?"

Zhou Hong was shocked by her sudden sharp words, took a step back, raised his hands in front of him, forcibly suppressed his emotions, and said slowly: "Ci Ke, you are too early for marriage, and several people have proposed marriage, Those men will have an accident the next day, either rolling off the horse and breaking their legs, or being caught by the government as a traitor, and even the emperor himself will not be spared the marriage."

If she doesn't come back, if your brother is gone one day, who will protect you?" Zhou Hong persuaded bitterly.

"I don't need other people's protection, I just want her." Ci Ke's voice was not calm, and he spoke very fast, "She asked me to wait for two years, I will wait, and let me wait for three years. Also wait."

"Even if I wait until I'm getting old and sitting with a dead head, I'll wait." After that, she pushed aside the umbrella that Zhou Hong was covering for her, turned and walked towards the door.

Zhou Hong slapped himself on the mouth and hurriedly followed up: "Ci Ke! Where are you going?"

"Enter the palace." Ci Ke said coldly.

call.

Seeing Ci Ke ignored him, Zhou Hong had to give up, holding up the umbrella in his hand: "Anyway, hold an umbrella!"

In the south, the cold plums are full, a tree is fragrant with snow, and the falling flowers mixed with rain and snow fall into the river, floating away.

In the crowd, a slender woman was particularly eye-catching. She was wearing winter clothes and a thick cloak was placed on her shoulders, but she was not bloated, showing how thin she was.

But fortunately, she was flexible, walking on the road that rubbed shoulders and feet, and didn't touch anyone else.

She walked to the door of a restaurant with a yellow flag hanging, looked up, and then walked in. The restaurant lit a heater, which was warm and filled with the smell of shochu.

"Please in the guest officer!" Xiao Er helped to take her cloak, bent over and invited her upstairs, along the river, overlooking the rolling Huai River, some merchant ships went down the river , the landscape is very beautiful.

The woman sat down by the window and coughed twice, revealing a pale face.

"A glass of warm wine, thank you." She said softly and smiled at the little Er.

"Miss Ye?" Pei Ning asked hesitantly.

Ye Youqing put her index finger on her lips and wrote a few words on the table, Pei Ning smoked and pursed her bright red lips and smiled: "It was Miss Chen, I'm rude."

"Where did Miss Chen go over the years, and why did she look so thin?" Pei Ning asked in a low voice, looking at the disguise on Ye Youqing's face.

"Before I was in the north, this year I went south, and I just came to Jiangning Mansion recently." Ye Youqing replied warmly.

"The north is now in chaos, and the Qi army has no character and is losing ground. People can't wait to flee to the south. It's just that many places don't accept refugees, and they don't know what to guard against. This winter is cold, and it is said that many people have been frozen to death."

Pei Ningling smiled and brought her face closer, "By the way, someone came to look for you a month ago and said the master's surname was Zhou, but I didn't have any news from you at that time, so I didn't say anything. "

Ye Youqing squeezed the wine glass with her left hand, and couldn't help coughing again.

Pei Ning hurriedly stepped forward and patted her on the back, with a bit of worry in his eyebrows: "What's the matter, your body looks so bad."

"It's okay, it's an old injury, it's almost healed now." Ye Youqing waved his hand and chuckled.

"Now I'm being stared at and can't say a few words." Ye Youqing didn't look around, but stared at the wine glass and said.

Pei Ning also held back her gaze, patted her on the back, and returned to her seat: "What do you need?"

"Silver taels." Ye Youqing said, dipping his left hand in water to write a number on the table, Pei Ning's eyes were slightly surprised, but he quickly calmed down.

"Okay, I'll prepare when I go back. I haven't heard from you in these years. My name is Ma Er and I keep the money in the bank." Pei Ning whispered.

"Thank you." Ye Youqing said.

"This is yours." Pei Ning said, "It's just that you want so much money, why?"

Ye Youqing shook his head: "I'm being watched closely now, the silver taels can't come out of me, so I can only find you. As for what it's used for, you still don't know what to do with it. ."

Pei Ning nodded in understanding.

"What's your next step?" Pei Ning asked.

"Bianjing?" Pei Ning almost cried out, she pulled Ye Youqing's right hand that had been hanging down, but saw the woman's shoulders trembling in front of her, and quickly retracted her hand, "Bianjing It's too dangerous for you!"

"Relax, even if the emperor knows who I am now, he will not dare to touch me." Ye Youqing said, "Not to mention that I was invited as Miss Chen."

"Furthermore. If I don't see her again, I'm afraid she won't want me anymore." Ye Youqing said softly, looking out the window at the billowing river and the dark-colored mountains in the distance.
