Chapter 428

The next day is New Years!The princess mansion is more lively than any mansion in the capital!

Since the morning, there has been no shortage of gift givers. Countless people in the palace, Zhao Wangfu, Qi Wangfu, etc., gave gifts one by one.

The high-ranking officials who had participated in the palace banquet did not delay when they heard the letter, and the constant stream of gift-givers beat the butler of Changde to the back of his head with his heels.

Fortunately, the Erdangjia and others have already arranged the things in the shop properly, and they will go back to the Princess's mansion to take care of it with him.

As the host, Shutong played with the new gadgets leisurely in the room.

In the afternoon, the sky was covered with fine snowflakes again.

Cuiyun was afraid of snowflakes drifting into the house, so she lowered the window sash.

"In previous years, it started to snow before the twelfth lunar month. This year, the snow is full of energy, and it will not stop for three to five days after the end of the new year!"

Hongxia came in with a plum vase in her arms, "It's snowing, and our house has another scene. I haven't seen enough of the snow scene last time!"

"Master! These are the red plums that my slaves picked from the garden, where do you put them!"

Shutong raised his eyes and saw a little white snow on the plum blossom petals, which was dense and dense, and soon melted due to the temperature in the room, leaving a piece of luster on the petals.

Just point to a place, "Where to put it!"

"Are you going to pick plum blossoms again?"

Hongxia stuck out her tongue secretly, "I got up late today, I didn't have time to pick plum blossoms for my master!"

"Then where did you go, I haven't seen anyone for a long time!" Cuiyun helped her put things away.

Hongxia smiled and said, "There are so many beautiful places in our Princess Mansion, this slave girl looks at nothing, so she wanders around to get her eyes hooked!"

Cuiyun smiled and said: "You are not on duty, you should rest in your room. I see that your needlework has not been touched for a few days, and you are so interested in running around in such a cold day!"

Hongxia's eyes sparkled, "What's the matter with visiting such a beautiful place more? When I go out in the future, if people ask me how is the Princess's mansion? I will tell you something!"

"You are the only one who is right!" Cuiyun rolled her eyes and was about to speak when Chunxing opened the curtain and came in.

"Eldest princess, this is the red bean cake honored by Mrs. Chen!"

Shutong saw that the red bean cake was placed in a small plate, it was not as exquisite as the one made by the imperial chef, but it had a familiar fragrance.

After eating two pieces at once, he squinted his eyes and nodded, "Ms. Chen's red bean cake is delicious, so come and try it too!"

The girls are used to her sometimes being neither big nor small, so they ate a piece of it.

"Where is Mrs. Chen, why don't you come in?" Shutong noticed that there was no one outside.

Cuiyun smiled and said, "Master came back only in the middle of the night, I'm afraid you didn't sleep well, and Mrs. Chen dare not come in to disturb you!"

Shutong laughed and said, "Why are you restrained now!"

Hongxia stuck out her tongue secretly, "Master's status is different now, when we sisters came, we were too scared to even come out!"

"Just now I was talking nonsense, and the coaxed Sister Fang and Wangcai were strolling with me in the back garden. It will snow now, so I sent them back!"

"I've been here for several days, why haven't I done enough shopping!" Cuiyun brought the freshly brewed tea.

Shutong drank warm tea and looked up at the fine snowflakes outside the window.

"Hearing what you said, I also want to go outside for a stroll!"

"Master! It's snowing outside. My shoes and socks are all wet after going out. Why don't you wait for the weather to clear up before you go? After all, it's your home, and the scenery won't be lost!" Chun Xing boldly persuaded.

Shutong suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I heard that there is a hot spring in the mansion, is it possible to use it now?"

Chuntao nodded and said, "If you go to Xiangtang Pavilion, that's okay. I heard that many nobles like to soak in hot spring pools in snowy days!"

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!" Shutong threw the toy away.

In a word, the girls are busy, and the crowd will be ready soon.

A group of people walked along the Chaoshou verandah, reached the backyard, and opened the oil-paper umbrellas painted with the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Although there was a breeze, fortunately, the snowflakes were fine but not too violent, occasionally falling on the face, with a little dampness.

The Princess Mansion is indeed big enough, and the hot spring is behind Jinshan Mountain.

There is a sea of ​​bamboo here, and there are dots of snowflakes piled up on the withered branches at the moment, which has another flavor.

Xiangtang Pavilion is a separate courtyard, and after entering, it is still decorated with carved beams and painted buildings.

Before entering the door, you can see mist rising from the snowflakes all over the sky. The heat of the hot spring makes these snowflakes turn into water vapor before they hit the ground.

It makes this courtyard seem like a fairyland on earth.

The ignorant Shutong nodded straightly, reaching out to touch the misty water vapor, imagining whether the Tiangong will be like this fairy cloud and mist when the foundation is built and the boundary is broken in the future.

"This place is great! It's shrouded in clouds and mist, as if in a fairyland!" Hongxia was pleasantly surprised.

The door of the house is open, and inside is a steaming hot spring pool!
Knowing that the eldest princess is coming to soak in the hot spring, the people in Xiangtang Pavilion have already prepared, and a row of maids greeted her at the door.

When I entered, I found that there were three hot spring pools, separated by screens.

These three decorations are similar, and they are arranged in order from large to small.

Beside the innermost pond, a carp carved in white marble jumped out of the water, with its head and tail raised, as if it was ready to jump into the dragon's gate at any time!

From its mouth warm water flows into the first pool, which is high on one side and low on the other, and the spring water winds its way into the second pool.

Flow into the last pool one by one, you can see the water surface is transpiration, the water temperature should be from high to low.

According to the maid, the water temperature of the three pools is slightly different. The deepest water in the first one is also hot, but it is also a temperature acceptable to the human body. The master can swim!
The latter two are shallower!

Although Shutong has a lot of cultivation, she once went into the water to catch fish in the deep valley of Mang Mountain, but she really can't swim!
The order of the last days has collapsed, and there is no artificial swimming pool at all!

In the rivers and lakes in the wild, the mutated fish and seafood will eat people in turn. If you want to go swimming, you will be killing yourself!

She wisely chose the shallowest hot spring pool!
The girls waited for her to change her clothes, Shutong tested the water temperature with her feet, and then went down the white marble steps step by step.

Standing in the pool, I found that the hot spring water only reached my waist, and the oval pool was surrounded by a circle of white marble for people to sit on.

She sat down slowly, the pool of water was almost up to her shoulders.

The warm spring water surrounds the body, which is very comfortable and warm!
Shutong joyfully raised her hand to pat the water, paddling wildly with her bare arms!

Sometimes I lift my feet under the water, and because of the buoyancy of the water, those white and tender legs also swing slightly.

After playing for a while, I saw the maids busy on the bank, and waved: "This place is very big, you also come down to have a bubble!"

Hongxia was a little moved, and was glared at by Cuiyun, and said with a smile: "Servants are waiting on you!"

Hongxia bowed her head embarrassingly.

The nanny who guarded the hot spring pool led a group of maids to bring fruit wine and fruit platters.

The things were placed in a wooden lotus dish, and carefully pushed to the side of Shutong along the water.

"Princess, this is hawthorn wine! Drink less to activate the meridians!"

Shutong picked up the glass cup, and the bright red hawthorn wine inside had a faint aroma!

At this time, several lotus-shaped wooden basins floated over, inside were all kinds of snack boxes and dried fruits!
"Princess, pad your stomach indiscriminately, it's not good to soak in the hot spring on an empty stomach!"
