Chapter 86, Snow

In the low night, snowflakes the size of goose feathers fall silently. Only when you hold your breath and listen carefully, can you hear the rustling and extremely fine sound of falling snow.

Squeak!

The carriage rolled over the fluffy snow, and the curtain of the carriage was pulled open from time to time, and two white and tender hands were stretched out, accompanied by Fang Ling and Nannan's cheerful voices like larks.

"Brother, look! Look! This snowflake is in the shape of a hexagram!"

"This one of mine is also beautiful... ah, it has melted!"

……

There are also the sounds of hawking from shops facing the street outside, and the sounds of children running around and jumping happily. They get closer and closer, pass by the car window, and then gradually go away.

The third lady leaned on Fang Rui's shoulder, took his hand, interlocked her fingers, with gentle eyes, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

Fang Rui looked out the car window and saw the dim yellow lights lit up in the heavy snow. He felt that everything was so vivid that he couldn't get enough of it.

Compared with the tranquility here, the severe drought and wars experienced in the three southern states before seem like a world away.

In such a wobble——

Fangfu has arrived.

It is said to be Fang Mansion, but in fact it is just a courtyard with three entrances and three exits. It does not occupy too much area, and it does not have the utmost luxury like other large households in the city.

Because Mrs. Fang Xue said that there are so many people in her house that she can’t live in it. If it is too big, it will look empty. If it is smaller, it will be fine.

At this time, the two big vermilion lanterns at the door were quietly emitting a soft light, reflecting the shadows of falling snow around them.

"Brother Rui is back?!"

Fang Xueshi was dressed in snow-white sable fur, with a beautiful face, and she came to welcome her with maids of all sizes.

Yes, there is no need to hide her appearance like she did in Changshan County. Her appearance has been restored, and she has the temperament of a noble lady in her position and her spirit, which is different from before.

"master!"

"Miss!"

"lady!"

……

The voices of the big maid and the little maid were all Yingying Yanyan.

Actually, not too much.

Two maidservants: Qingyun and Baishao.

Qingyun has fair skin and delicate appearance. In terms of appearance alone, she is even better than San Niangzi. She is dexterous and straightforward.

This big maid looks a bit like Qingwen in "A Dream of Red Mansions", but she is very sensible and doesn't know how to bully the little maid.

The other big maid, Bai Shao, has a gentle personality and is thoughtful in doing things. She is somewhat like a combination of Ping'er and Yuanyang in "A Dream of Red Mansions".

There are also twelve little maids: spring grass, summer flowers, autumn leaves, winter snow, orange wind, purple frost, blue rain, white snow, plum blossom, orchid, mottled bamboo, and golden chrysanthemum.

They were all carefully selected by San Niangzi from all over the world, all of them were clever, conscientious and conscientious, and they were all outstanding.

"Ha Chi Ha Chi!"

The three big dogs also leaned over enthusiastically, sticking out their tongues, exhaling a mist of white smoke,
They are the old heroes of the Fang family, and they followed them all the way from the three states in the south. Due to various accidents, only these three were left in the end, and they had a deep relationship with the Fang family.

"Oh, I'm home!"

"Hehehe, Dahuang, Dahei, Dahua, don't hate me, Ling'er save me!"

……

The two little girls, Fang Ling and Nannan, were chubby and dressed like two crooked ducklings running over, leaving a string of small footprints on the snow.

"Wow wow wow!"

The three big dogs also joined in the fun, circling around the welcoming pine in the front yard, staining the clean snow like a canvas.

That kind of laughter and lively atmosphere also spread out together.

"Oh, this snow sturgeon is really big!"

Fang Rui picked up tonight's ingredients, looked at this snow sturgeon, which was more than a foot long, and was frozen hard, and exclaimed.

"Big fish! Big fish!"

"Brother, do you want to drink fish soup at night?"

The two little girls, Fang Ling and Nannan, ran back from nowhere, bouncing around Fang Rui for a while.

"Brother Rui, let me come! I remember this kind of fish, the spines are easy to separate, and it's good for making fish soup." Fang Xue said with a smile.

"That's right, Auntie and I will come, Brother Rui, you go and rest!" The third lady also said.

Although life is good now and there are maids, Fang Xue and San Niangzi still retain the habit of cooking by themselves, especially for the evening meal, they must do it by themselves.

Of course, with the help of the maids, I'm not tired, it's very relaxing, and I can exercise my muscles and bones every day.

As long as Fang Rui is in the office and has no official business, he will definitely come to have dinner together. The whole family gathers together, eats, drinks, and gossips about the day's experience.

"No, this fish is too big. It's not easy for you to handle. I'll take it and slice it for you by the way!"

Fang Rui chatted and laughed with Fang Xueshi and the third lady, surrounded by two little girls, Fang Ling and Nannan, big and small, and went to the kitchen.

……

The sky was getting darker, the snow was falling harder, and there was a vast expanse of snowflakes between the sky and the earth.

It was at this moment-

Inside the house, smokeless red candles were lit, shining brightly everywhere, and several braziers with charcoal fires burning vigorously steamed the house warmly.

On the small stove, the cooked fish soup has been brought over. In order to prevent it from getting cold, there is still a small fire below to continue to simmer. The thick white fish soup is bubbling, and the snow-white fish meat rises and falls in the soup water, and it is still warm. Covered by fresh and green wild vegetables, the layers are distinct and mouth-watering.

On the table next to it, a pot of fragrant donkey meat was smoking white smoke, and there were bowls of pearl rice. The maids had already filled the whole table with rice.

Fang Rui invited Fang Xueshi, San Niangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannan to sit down, and they all ate together.

The slightly spicy and hot fish soup, a few mouthfuls into the stomach, makes the stomach warm and the whole body is hot and sweaty. In such a snowy weather, it looks very comfortable and comfortable.

"Go, Qingyun, Baishao, your big servant girls are taking the lead and sharing the rest of the fish soup. By the way, you don't need to wait here, let's all go eat, it's so cold."

Fang Rui waved his hands.

Of course, there are only a small part of such a big fish, and there are still many left!
"Yes, thank you sir!"

The two maidservants Qingyun and Baishao gave a blessing and turned around happily.

This kind of snow sturgeon, but the top-quality ingredients are cherished very much, and ordinary people can't eat it at all, and it is only the big and small maids who follow them like them.

Moreover, to be honest, I was already hungry when I smelled the strong fragrance just now.

next to.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

More than a dozen phoenix-tailed swallows were chattering, drinking fish soup from their respective plates, their little heads almost buried in it.

The three big dogs were also sucking up the fish soup, raising their heads from time to time to glance over here.

Now, with a big family and a big business, Fang Xue doesn't care about a little bit of food anymore.

Fang Rui, Fang Xueshi, Third Lady, Fang Ling, and Nannan formed a table, gossiping about the day's experience and various trivial matters in life.

"Nannan, Linger, is there anyone bullying you in the academy?" Fang Rui asked.

"No, they don't dare!" Fang Ling's little head seemed to be buried in the bowl, and she didn't lift it, but only replied with a grunt.

"Yes, Sister Ling'er is amazing! There are also many people who please us with snacks and tell us stories. We listen to brother A Rui and never eat other people's food, and they bring out all kinds of gadgets Er... But, sister Linger is wrong, they don't know anyway..." Fang Ling's dark history came out as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Ninny, don't say it!" Fang Ling hurriedly covered her mouth.

"Haha, no wonder, I see they are all around you after school." Fang Rui pinched the faces of the two little girls amusedly.

"These two bullies, who dares to provoke them? I know it all at home." Fang Xue shook her head.

"Aren't you Brother Rui?"

The third lady covered her mouth and smiled: "...Because of that incident, Brother Rui directly led someone to steal the family's property, and the adult brought the child to the door to apologize... After that, I really never dared to mess with them again .”

"The adults in that family are not well-educated, the upper beam is not upright, the lower beam is crooked, what kind of city people, rejecting outsiders, forming cliques..."

When Fang Rui thought of that incident, he was still a little angry.

Campus bullying, even bullying Fang Ling and Nannan in his family, is simply a coward!

"They are so rustic. I have never heard of the stories my brother told..."

"Yeah, I think they are stupid!"

The two little girls Fang Ling and Nannan are precocious, and when they get along with those peers, they really feel like they stand out from the crowd.

——This is also the result of traveling thousands of miles from the three states in the south to Wuzhong. Many people have never experienced such a long journey and such a colorful journey in their entire lives!

……

Inside the house, the charcoal fire is raging, warm as spring, and the fish soup on the small red clay stove is bubbling and white smoke is rising.

Amidst the gossiping voices of Fang Rui, Fang Xueshi, Fang Ling, and Nannan's family, the red candle danced brightly, and the steaming heat escaped outwards, blurring the hazy light and shadow on the carved windows, like looking through the fog. flower.

Outside, it was freezing cold, dripping into ice.

In the silent night, there was no wind, and snowflakes fluttered like goose feathers, covering Qiongyu, as if the sky was stagnant.

Time passed so slowly.

……

At night, Qingyun and Baishao are in the room of the two maids.

Because Fang's mansion is not too big, the maids in the mansion are basically shared by two people, Qingyun and Bai Shao are no exception, both of them are big maids, and they have a good relationship, so they live together.

"belch!"

Qing Yun caressed her little belly, her beautiful eyes were looking forward, as agile as a deer: "I'm very full tonight, the fish soup is delicious, and the snow sturgeon meat is also delicious."

"The master is also generous, willing to let us servants eat." Bai Shao came over with water.

"The master is also very good to his wife, but it seems that the master and his wife are not married, and Miss Nannu..."

"Qingyun, I don't want to talk about this."

Bai Shao looked at Qing Yun seriously, and shook her head.

She is very measured, knowing that Qingyun said these things, she doesn't have any bad intentions, it's just that there are some things that I don't feel comfortable talking about.

"Okay, let's not talk about that."

Qingyun also reacted, covering her mouth with both hands, and her big dark and watery eyes flicked around.

Don't look at San Niangzi's gentle temperament, but she is also extremely cunning, otherwise how can she manage such a large property?If she hears this, she must be driven to Sihai Tower.

"Say something else,"

Bai Shao smiled gently and said: "I went back last month and brought back the saved monthly money. The whole family was happy, my younger brother was sick, and it was only with these money that he was cured... the neighbors are all envious!"

"That is to say, we are lucky. The master, madam, and madam are kind enough to allow those of us who prostitute ourselves to go back and have a look, and pay a monthly salary... I know another woman who is not worse than me in appearance and temperament, but prostitutes have entered Beppu, it didn’t take long to die for no apparent reason.”

When she said this, she let out a sigh.

"That's right, our Fangfu is not like Beppu, there are not so many messy things." Qingyun said proudly.

These things, in the hearts of their maids, are the most accurate.The relaxed, harmonious, and warm environment of Fang Mansion can be said to be rare among big households.

"At the main house, women from all over the place are rushing to come here. It's easy and the monthly money is high..." Qingyun wrung his fingers like a treasure.

"Then you have to work harder."

Bai Shao joked: "By the way, Qingyun, have you served the master? That day, I saw you served the master to take a bath, and the water splashed all over the floor..."

Even though she is generous, decent and gentle like her, she still has a gossip side in her nature.

"Sister Bai Shao, you, what are you talking about?!"

Qingyun was so ashamed that his head was smoking.

However, in the end, he still said: "I'm not that kind of person. The master promised me the title of concubine, so I agreed!"

She said, lifting her chin proudly.

"You!"

Bai Shao smiled and shook her head: "That means the master is spoiling you, if you are in Beppu, take a look..."

"Hehehe, Sister Bai Shao, don't talk about me, don't you like the master? Huh?"

"I... How can I have such a good color as you? No, how did you get to me? Look at me!"

The two laughed and blew out the lights.

……

In the other room, Fang Ling and Nannan were taken away by Mrs. Fang Xue and the third lady. Fang Rui stayed in the empty room tonight, lying on the bed, and silently opened the panel.

"Many skills such as divination, stealing, agricultural economics, carving, etc., were mostly harvested during the journey that year, and some were slowly searched for by San Niangzi's establishment of an industrial network."

It can be said: In terms of skills, it is quite comprehensive now.

"As for the robbery point, when I was in Yingzui Gorge, I still had a little over [-] points left after I was promoted; during the year of rushing, I probably harvested more than [-] points; when I left the three states in the south, I came to Huaiyin Mansion in Wuzhong and calmed down. , on the contrary, it dropped sharply, only [-] or [-] points in a year."
