Chapter 2268: Remembrance in the Snow

Hearing him say this, Xu Shifeng's expression became even more uncomfortable.
He shifted his sitting posture so that he didn't have to face his elder brother, and then said: "She is the maid in charge of Yikun Palace. In the past, when the concubine was not canonized, we met twice in Peking."
"..."
"Furthermore—she taught Wei Wang the archery skills, and she is also very useful to Wei Wang."
"Oh? She is still practicing martial arts."
"Yes, she, she is not the same as the ordinary palace ladies."
Speaking of this, he was afraid of Xu Sezong’s random thoughts, and hurriedly continued: "I didn’t help her beg for mercy that day. It’s just that the sending off of Guanyin was just a kindness from the mother, and it shouldn’t lead to anything bad because of that. In this way, the empress is not happy to see it."
Xu Shizong looked at him for a while.
Then he said: "You don't have to be nervous, the eldest brother is just worried about you."
"Worry? What are you worried about?"
"You are so old too."
"..."
"The eldest brother has no children, only a daughter like Xiaoxiao, the incense of the Xu family has to depend on you to continue."
"..."
"You have been busy with your business again, when will you think of this?"
"..."
Xu Shifeng's face couldn't help but blush.
Turning his face to one side, he whispered: "Big brother, why are you worried about this."
Xu Shizong glanced at him.
He didn't go on, but said: "Well, if you don't want to listen, I won't say it. There is only one thing, you do it for me."
"what's up?"
"I ordered a set of books in Yayizhai on the Drum Tower a few months ago. It was supposed to arrive these few days, but I'm afraid they will be sent to my house. You will send someone over to help me fetch the books. Lest the guy over there runs out."
"It's okay. I'll go there in person tomorrow."
"Alright, I am afraid that others will stain my book."
"Big brother, you don't care about gold, silver and jade, so you don't let people touch your books. This has been the case since childhood.
"Ha ha."
When the two brothers said this, the atmosphere eased a lot.
Xu Shizong took the handkerchief, covered his mouth and coughed slightly.
The next day, Youshi was the first moment.
The more winter, the sooner it gets darker, and the day outside is almost dark just as soon as the winter is over, there are a lot fewer pedestrians on the street, and there are almost no customers entering this jade shop.
Ran Xiaoyu sighed and stood up.
Originally, Nan Yan had given up the plan to "lead the snake out of the cave", which also prevented her from going out of the palace to come to this shop to stare, so as not to be busy every day, but she still didn't want to give up, just want to come back, in case there is any clue .
However, there was still no movement this day.
It seems that there is really no need to come and guard.
Seeing her getting up, she originally wanted to close earlier. The boss and a few guys who went home to get under the covers all came forward. Ran Xiaoyu said to them: "Several people, excuse me."
The shop owner laughed and said, "Where is it, Miss Xiaoyu is polite."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "I won't be here tomorrow, but you still have to pay attention to what the lady has ordered. If there is any movement, immediately follow the path I explained."
"Yes."
"Also, the Guanyin who sent the son-"
"Girl Xiaoyu, don't worry, we are rushing to work."
"Ok."
Ran Xiaoyu nodded and left their shop.
As soon as she walked out of the gate, she felt a gust of cold wind rushing toward her face, causing her to shiver. She hurriedly wrapped her coat tightly and prepared to go back.
Originally, Nan Yan arranged a carriage, but she was alone and was not used to riding a carriage.
It's better to walk on the street.
Even if the cold wind finds the slightest gap in the neckline and cuffs, it is chilling, but she still likes to walk on the street, watching the hawkers who are shivering from the cold are spraying white energy in their mouths. The hawking, watching the faces of people on the road flushed with cold, how much, are some human fireworks.
After staying in the palace for too long, Qionglou Yuyu is everywhere.
It’s almost forgotten that they are still living in the world.
Just as she was walking, suddenly, something dropped in front of her eyes.
"this is--"
She was taken aback, and subconsciously raised her head.
Another white dot fell down, right on the center of her eyebrows.
As soon as it touched human skin, it melted instantly, leaving only a little unnoticeable coolness. Ran Xiaoyu stretched out his hand and made his fingertips moist.
It's snowflakes.
Ran Xiaoyu widened his eyes and looked at the sky. In the already pitch-black sky, snowflakes continued to fall one after another, and after a while, they accumulated on the top of the person's head and shoulders.
Snowing.
This year's snow came a bit late, but in an instant, it seemed to fill up the entire capital.
Ran Xiaoyu was a little startled for a while.
Although she grew up in the south, she is no stranger to Luoxue. In the past few years, following Nanyan's side and following Zhu Feng to the north and south, she has seen many magnificent snow scenes.
And deep in her memory, there is also a snow.
The heavy snow of goose feathers fell one after another, rendering the entire earth white, as if the dirt in the world was covered by such heavy snow, and it became crystal clear without any dirt.
And when she was young, she saw the most tragic scenery in such a snow scene.
She couldn't help stretching out her hand, palm up.
After a while, the palm was covered with fine snow foam, but before it was too late, the snow foam melted in her palm again, leaving only a drop of water.
Come and go so fast.
It's like the passing of life.
Ran Xiaoyu looked at the falling snowflakes and lost her eyes for a while. When she felt that the palms were getting more and more wet, she couldn't help but muttered softly: "It's cold..."
At this moment, on the street behind her, a carriage came in the snow.
Horseshoe bursts awakened the originally silent street. The few pedestrians on the street heard the sound, and they all retreated to both sides. The driver seemed to be very anxious, constantly waving the whip and urging. The horses pulling the carts rushed forward with more effort.
However, Ran Xiaoyu didn't seem to hear it at all.
Her whole mind seemed to be psychedelic by the falling snowflakes.
After a while, the carriage was only a few feet away from her. Someone on the street saw it and couldn't help but yelled, "Hey, be careful!"
"...!"
Ran Xiaoyu seemed to wake up suddenly and turned his head to take a look.
The carriage is already in sight.
She opened her eyes wide, trying to dodge, but it was too late, and she saw two tall horses suddenly rushing to her eyes. The horses were frightened, and they stood up all of a sudden, and the strong hoofs kicked towards her.
"Be careful!"
At this moment of lightning and flint, a person suddenly rushed out from the roadside, suddenly hugged Ran Xiaoyu in his arms, and flashed, the horse's hoof dangerously rubbed the sides of the two people and fell!
