Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 238 Jasmine in the Snowstorm
In Qi's residence, Qi Ze rested his chin, thinking about what to do with the little thing lying on her desk.

At this moment, Wu Weiwei ran in cheerfully, shouting: "Little sister, I found another interesting thing, let's go see it together."

Before Qi Ze could give an answer, Wu Weiwei caught a glimpse of the little black cat lying on the desk and licking her little paw, "This is the black cat that His Highness King Qin gave you?" Then he squatted down Body, outstretched fingers to tease the little thing.

"It's so cute." Wu Weiwei hugged the little black cat to her body and stroked its head, as if it was a lot of fun.

Seeing that Wu Weiwei liked it so much, Qi Ze picked up the teacup and poured himself a cup of tea casually, and said, "Since you like it, then you can take it away."

"Why? This little thing is so cute." Wu Weiwei continued to tease the quiet black cat in her arms.

Qi Ze took a sip of tea and said, "I don't like small animals, they take up too much space here."

"But..." Looking at the quiet eyes of the black cat in his arms, Wu Wei Wei said, "This little black cat is very similar to my little sister."

Hearing this, Qi Ze stopped drinking tea and asked, "Like?"

"Well, if you don't believe me, look at it." Wu Weiwei lifted the black cat in front of Qi Ze, just facing Qi Ze face to face, "It really looks alike."

Because the little black cat was suddenly half-lifted in the air by Wu Weiwei, both paws could only rest on her fingers feebly, a hint of helplessness appeared in the eyes, so he could only keep still and look directly at the person in front of him.

And Qi Ze also frowned, and said with a little disgust: "It's obviously not like that at all."

One person and one cat all look at each other. Although they don't look like each other, the same quiet feeling is surprisingly consistent.

Wu shook his head slightly, and said, "It's really similar. It seems that His Royal Highness King Qin specially gave it to my younger sister."

Qi Ze couldn't help being stunned by this sentence, was it specially given to her?

"No, I have to tell Jieying the news. His Highness King Qin sent a cat that looks like a little sister." Wu Weiwei put the cat back in its place and left briskly.

Looking at the cat on the desk, Qi Ze hasn't recovered yet, does he really look like her?It doesn't look like it at all, okay, Que Yu must have been too busy recently to send this little thing to trouble her.

While the woman was depressed, a strange feeling arose in her heart, and finally she could only sigh: "Since it was specially given to me, then I will take care of you from now on."

Taking a small plate, Qi Ze poured the rest of the tea into it, pushed it in front of the kitten, and said, "Here, here you go."

"Wei Wei, you are right, this cat really looks like my little sister." He Jieying squatted down, looked at the kitten on the ground sticking out its tongue to drink water, and said joyfully.

"I told you, it's very similar, but my little sister never believed it." Wu Weiwei scratched the cat's little head with great fun.

He Jieying turned her head to look at Qi Ze who had just stepped into the door, and asked, "Little sister, has this cat been given a name? Since it was given by His Highness King Qin, the name should be given to my little sister."

Wu Weiwei also happily said: "Yes, what name do you plan to give this little thing?"

naming?Although it was just a name, it stumped Qi Ze, she hadn't given anyone else a name yet.After thinking for a while, Qi Ze said, "Look at it's black body, let's call it Xiao Hei."

He Jieying, Wu Weiwei: "..." Little girl, your name is too casual.

Wu Weiwei saw that Xiao Hei didn't drink any more water, but lay listlessly on the side, and said, "Xiao Hei seems to be hungry."

"It's okay, I just went to the canteen to bring it something to eat." After speaking, Qi Ze put the steamed bun in his hand in front of Xiao Hei.

But Xiao Hei just smelled it, and then lay back down with a sleepy expression. Qi Ze ignored the hesitant expressions of the two people next to him, and asked strangely: "Why doesn't Xiao Hei eat it? This is just made."

Seeing that the little thing was still not eaten, Qi Ze simply turned his hands over its little head, and directly pressed it hard on the steamed bun.This scene made He Jieying, Wu Weiwei and the two couldn't bear it anymore, and when they wanted to say something, the three of them heard the beating voice of Cang Zhu outside the room trying not to laugh.

"Well, master, cats eat meat and don't eat steamed buns. Master, you don't know, do you?" Then the voice of the beating grew louder, mixed with surprise, "Master, you really don't know, do you?" , you are a flower hunter after all, don’t you really know that cats eat meat?”

"oops--"

With a dark face, Qi Ze threw the steamed bun directly on Cang Zhu's face, while being angry, he also wondered if cats really eat meat?Cang Zhu didn't lie to her?But it can't be her fault, she never raises small animals, so she really doesn't know about it.Moreover, it was not easy for her to feed Zhu Yu Cangzhu and the other hidden guards until now. How much did it cost her, and she saw that they were all alive and well, which meant that she was feeding them well.

He Jieying smiled politely after watching this little farce, and said: "It's okay, little girl, let us prepare Xiao Hei's food in the future." Then he shouted towards the door: "Fu Ling, come in .”

"Okay, young lady." A soft and naughty voice came into Qi Ze's ears.

Hearing the sound and looking around, I saw a woman with a gentle face came in with a smile. This woman's facial features were a little ordinary, but she was just delicate, but she looked extremely comfortable. The facial features combined together formed a strange beauty, which made her feel beautiful. People look at it at a glance, but want to look at it a few more times.

The clothes are not like the clothes of ordinary maids, but comfortable and decent, not as delicate as the ladies of the aristocratic family, on the contrary, they look like girls from ordinary families, which inexplicably gives people a sense of intimacy.

Qi Ze recognized this Poria.She is the leading maid among all the servant girls in Qi's mansion, if something happens, you can go to her.Although he is still young, he is already able to lead the servants in Qi's mansion to handle all matters in Qi's mansion.

And it seems to be He Jieying's dowry maid, so her status is even more unusual. He Jieying treats her like a sister, and usually wears ordinary women's dresses instead of maids' clothes.

Fu Ling stepped forward lightly, and asked, "What do you want, Young Madam?"

"Today, His Royal Highness King Qin gave my little sister a kitten. In the future, remember to prepare the kitten's food. If the chef is still in the dining hall, you can go and get some new ones. Xiao Hei seems to have already hungry."

"Yes, Young Madam." After Fuling saluted, she withdrew.

For the next few days, Fu Ling will prepare Xiao Hei's food.In his spare time, Xiao Hei also plays with Candy.Sometimes, Candy will also be fed with Poria cocos, talking and laughing.

Because Yingjingcheng has been peaceful recently and there is nothing to investigate, Zhu Yu and Cang Zhu also lived their leisurely days.

A peaceful life makes people feel comfortable, but it is never boring, because some surprising little accidents often happen, which inexplicably adds a touch of color to this peaceful life.

Zhu Yu, who was wandering in the yard, looked up at the finally sunny weather, thinking that he hadn't been so comfortable and leisurely in a long time.The days with the master are always busy, and people rarely have time to rest.Thinking of this rare opportunity, Zhu Yu walked forward in a good mood, enjoying this hard-won leisure time.

At this time, a woman with a smile on the corner of her mouth came with a plate of food and money. The woman had beautiful features and was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary girl. This smile seemed to have a strong contagious power and made people feel very kind.

Zhu Yu glanced at the woman, but didn't take it seriously. Just as she was about to walk over, she saw the woman stop and said to him with a smile, "Are you a new servant? Wandering around this place, but can’t find the way out of the yard?” Then, he pointed to a direction, “Follow this direction and you will be able to get out of the yard, so don’t come to this yard in the future, this is Miss Shaoyi’s. Yard, Miss Shaoyi doesn't like being disturbed."

After speaking, he took the plate and left again.

Zhu Yu looked at the back of this strange woman and said nothing.It should be because he doesn't wander around in Qi's mansion often, so many servants and maids in Qi's mansion don't know him.Although she didn't know him, he knew her.

She is the leading servant girl of this Qi's mansion, and her status is extraordinary, but he only saw her a few times from a distance, and never spoke to her.The reason why he knew her was only because he came to this strange environment, and he needed to get familiar with the scenery and people here quickly.

This seemed to be just a small episode in life, Zhu Yu didn't take it too seriously, and turned around and left.

After waiting for a few days, Zhu Yuxian went to other places in Qi's mansion without incident. It happened that Wu Weiwei ran to the maids panting with a stack of official documents, and said in a panic: "Fu Ling, you Hurry up and take these official documents to the barracks, Archer, an idiot, took the official documents back for review yesterday and forgot to take them back. It will be reviewed today, and if you don’t send them in time, Archer will be fined again.” Then it started He chattered and complained: "Really, he forgets everything every time. He has been fined so many times, but he still has such a short memory."

After Wu Weiwei left, the servant girls looked at this pile of official documents but found themselves in trouble.

"Sister Fuling, what should I do? The second young master's military camp is too far away from Qi's residence, and it's almost time for inspection, so it's too late." One of the little maids said.

Another little maid added: "And all the horses in the stables have been borrowed, and even the servants who can ride horses have gone out of the house to buy them, and now there is no one to give them to them."

Fu Ling looked at the official document in her hand and fell silent. After a while, she wondered: "Even so, we still need to find someone. Is it possible that we really want to watch the second young master be punished?"

Afterwards, all the maids became anxious, even Fuling couldn't help it for a while, they all looked like ants on a hot pot.

At this time, a slightly dull man's voice sounded, "Give this to me, and I will deliver it."

The servant girls looked up and saw a handsome man walking quickly.And Fu Ling also recognized this person, and before she could make a sound of joy, the official document was already taken away by the man.

"Thank you, the second young master's barracks is quite far away, just at..."

Before the woman finished speaking, she was interrupted by the man's faint voice, "Don't worry, I know this." After speaking, she resorted to light work and left, leaving behind all the maids who were stunned.

The sunny weather a few days ago was like a gift from heaven, and it was immediately covered by snow.The cold wind became more and more bitter, and it was bitingly cold.

The strong wind extinguished people's desire to go out and play, and at the same time, it also collapsed the greenhouse used by Qi's mansion to grow flowers.

The servants hurriedly carried the flowers to a place where they could shelter from the wind and snow, and then faced the wind and snow to repair the damaged greenhouse.

It took all their efforts and most of the time before the servants repaired the greenhouse and added fixing materials to prevent it from being blown down again.

By the time the flowers that hadn't been blown to death and frozen to death were moved back to the greenhouse, it was already evening.All the servants were tired all day, and after dinner, they rubbed their sore shoulders and returned to the room to rest.

When the night was quiet, there was howling cold wind and falling snow and ice all around. The cold wind engulfed the ice and snow, cutting people like sharp knives.

At this time, a woman was placing flower pots that had been blown to pieces in the greenhouse, carefully wiping off the snow on the petals, and placing the flower pots in a warm and safe place.Just when the task was about to be finished, the woman also raised her hand tiredly to wipe the sweat off her forehead. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the dull man's voice.

"It's so late, are you still busy? Don't you follow them back to rest?"

Fu Ling looked up and saw the handsome man standing beside her, seeing her looking over, he even reached out and handed over a handkerchief.

"Thank you." The woman smiled shyly.

After carefully wiping the sweat off her face, the woman heard the man continue to say: "You seem to like flowers very much, especially jasmine. Most of the flowers you moved under the eaves to shelter from the wind and snow today are jasmine flowers."

"Yeah." The woman admitted out loud, "Because my previous name was Jasmine."

"Your previous name?"

"Yes, I am not a child of the He family, but Miss Jieying bought it from the matchmaker. Before entering the He family, my parents gave me the name Jasmine." The woman responded.

"Then why did you come to He's house again? And fell into the hands of the toothmaid?"

Maybe it was a tiring day, or the sound of the wind and snow outside the greenhouse made people feel frightened, but the warm temperature in the greenhouse seemed to open people's hearts.They were obviously new acquaintances, but at this moment they chatted very calmly like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, everything seemed so natural.

The woman smiled and talked about her past, "Because the family was poor and there were many children, my younger brother needed to go to school, but he couldn't afford the tuition. In the end, my parents sold me to the toothmaid." It was obviously very sad. In the past, the woman said it with such an understatement with a smile.

"Did your parents sell you out just because your younger brother is going to school?" the man's voice asked as usual.

"Yes, because there are many daughters in the family, but we only have one younger brother. Our parents are counting on him to be successful in the exam. After that, we don't have to do this farm work." Then, the woman asked: "What about you?" How did you follow Ms. Shaoyi?" Then, I couldn't help laughing, and said mockingly: "I thought I knew all the people in Qi's mansion, so you have been following Ms. Shaoyi for a long time Oh, I thought you were new here, you looked so unfamiliar. It was the last time you helped me deliver the official documents, and one of the maidservant sisters said that she knew you and that you were Miss Shaoyi's subordinate. And the martial arts are very good. Awesome, I've been busy with Miss Shaoyi all day long."

"Heh, it's not very busy if you say it's busy, but it's true that you rarely have time to rest. As for why you followed the master, it's similar to you. The family was ruined, and people were on the streets, with nowhere to go, so I simply followed the master." The man He replied with a rare smile on his face.

"That's right."

"What about you? How did you change to your current name? This name..." The man smiled softly, "It sounds nice."

In this pleasant atmosphere, the woman also laughed out loud, "This name was given to me by Miss Jieying after I entered He's house. Although Jasmine is good, she is often easily injured in the wind and snow, so it is unavoidable Miserable, it is better to change it to Poria, with a peaceful temperament, and it will be a blessing to look at life with a smile and escape from suffering."

The man let out a low laugh, "Really?"

Just as the woman was about to speak, the two of them heard that several pots of jasmine flowers placed by the door of the greenhouse were overturned to the ground due to the sudden cold wind blowing in, and the delicate petals were scattered like Afraid of the strong wind and snow outside, the poor woman cowered aside.

Afterwards, those potted flowers couldn't stand the cold wind, and they were taken out, until they were thrown onto the ruthless snow ground like being discarded.

Seeing this, Fu Ling rushed out of the greenhouse and brought those potted flowers back.

As soon as he reached the door of the greenhouse, he heard the man behind him stop him: "Don't go, Jasmine is most afraid of the cold, if she is thrown on the ground like this, even if those potted flowers are brought back, they will definitely not be able to save her life."

The woman's figure paused for a moment, turned around after a while, looked into the man's eyes firmly and said: "It is because Jasmine is afraid of the cold that it needs protection, no matter how heavy the wind and snow is, if someone protects it, it will not lose hope of survival. "After speaking, he rushed out desperately.

The man looked at the woman outside in the wind and snow who was trying to grasp the existing hope with unclear eyes. He suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, and after a long time, he also rushed out.

On the snow-covered land, the entire ground seemed to be illuminated by the ice and snow.The strong wind was blowing so hard that the woman couldn't move forward, she staggered and crooked, the wind and snow captivated her eyes, but it couldn't cover her desire to grasp hope no matter what.

After finally walking to the flowerpot, after bending over to lift it up with great effort, the moment he turned around, he couldn’t stand the cold wind, and the flowerpot in his hand slipped out of his palm, this person was about to fall like the jasmine flower in the snowstorm Just waiting for the final annihilation.

At this time, a burst of warmth enveloped her, and the jasmine that was about to fall to the ground was also lifted up in time. The man held an umbrella to block the wind and snow outside, and lowered his head to talk to the woman in his arms.

"From now on, someone will protect Jasmine from the wind and snow, so that she will no longer be afraid of the cold winter."

After a few days, Zhu Yuzheng was standing in front of the yard bored.At this time, a woman with a friendly smile came over.

Seeing this, Zhu Yu asked, "Are you here to see the master? She is in the study."

But Fu Ling shook her head and said, "No, I'm here to find you." Then, the woman blushed slightly, and handed out the purse in her hand, "Thank you Brother Zhu Yu for sending me the official document, and thank you for the rescue a few days ago, as a Thank you, and please wish Brother Yu can accept it." The woman's tone became a little embarrassed, "This purse was originally a blessing gift from Dongyue, thinking that no one usually gave it to me, so I simply kept it. If I wish Brother Yu not If you don't like it, please accept it."

Looking at the exquisitely embroidered purse with fine stitches, Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment, but he still reached out to take it and said, "You're welcome, this is what it should be."

Fu Ling bit her lower lip, glanced shyly at the man in front of her, then quickly turned and ran away.

On this day, Zhu Yu was walking on the street, carefully observing the strange movements around him.After hearing the reports from the major clans in charge of monitoring Yingjing City and saying that there was nothing abnormal, Zhu Yu nodded and prepared to return to Qi's Mansion.

At this time, a casual glance led Zhu Yu to discover a crystal clear, fine-textured white jade bracelet lying peacefully on a roadside stall. His graceful and intimate feeling seems to be stirring his heartstrings.

Zhu Yu recognized it. It was a jade bracelet engraved with jasmine flowers.

While in a daze, the voice of a hospitable middle-aged woman came out.

"Young man, have you taken a fancy to this jade bracelet? This jade bracelet is patterned with jasmine flowers, and it has the fragrance of jasmine flowers on it. Girls like this fragrance the most, and it is the most suitable gift for their fiancée. "

Zhu Yu shook his head, and just as he was about to thank the stall owner for her kindness, an inexplicably flashed image of that snowy night, that strong woman with firm eyes who could rush out regardless of everything.It is so ordinary, but it seems that everything is so different.

After a moment of silence, the man said, "Miss Boss, how much is this jade bracelet? I bought it."

In the afternoon of that day, the wind and snow stopped, and the sky seemed to be clear.Poria also had a rare mood improvement, opened the window, and breathed in the fresh air outside.

At this time, an unremarkable brown wooden box on the window sill broke into the woman's sight. When she opened it, she found that it was a white jade bracelet with a jasmine pattern. The warm texture seemed to have the fragrance of jasmine, which was refreshing.

There is also a note under it. The handwriting on the note is strong and powerful, but it reveals warmth everywhere.

"White jade touches jasmine, and jasmine leaves behind a delicate fragrance, which is given to the former girl Jasmine."

This simple literary talent made the woman smile. Although the person who gave the gift did not sign it, the woman had already guessed the sender in her heart, and the warmth in her heart gradually overflowed with that sweet smile.

In the early morning of the next day, when Zhu Yu was about to go out to Qi's mansion to investigate the hidden situation in Yingjing, he saw a group of maids and servants not far away, joking with ease.Everyone told some interesting things in life, which made everyone laugh and laugh.Among them, the friendly woman in the clothes of an ordinary girl is particularly eye-catching.

"Sister Fuling, can you transfer me to another place? I wake up so early every day, earlier than cats, and I really want to sleep in." A youthful-faced servant naughtyly asked.

Another young servant next to him said very shamelessly: "You are still early? Sweeping the floor is the easiest job. Except for sweeping the snow, you can sneak around all day. Sister Fuling treats you the most. Well, even for lunch, I specially asked Master Pao Ding to add more meat for you, so please be content."

The young boy smiled embarrassedly and scratched his head.

A third young servant with a lively personality squeezed over and said, seemingly displeased: "That's right, every time you have lunch, you have a lot of sauced meat in your bowl, unlike our bowl, which only has one or two slices. It's the best thing to eat. You can still be free this time, as long as your life is comfortable, you still don’t want to be here, and you can be a good boy if you get a bargain.”

"Pfft——" the woman couldn't help laughing, and eased the atmosphere: "Okay, everyone, don't blame him, he is the youngest among you, and I should take care of him properly. You, the bosses are not young, now They started forming a group to bully newcomers. Look, how is his face turning red?"

Everyone heard the sound and looked, and began to laugh, "I see, it looks like a boiled lobster. Hahaha."

After being ridiculed by everyone like this, the young boy tried his best to adjust his state, and said unconvinced: "So what, anyway, Sister Fuling is facing me, you can't bully me anymore when you go back. Otherwise, I will tell Sister Fuling File a complaint."

"Okay, if they dare to bully you again in the future, come over and tell me, and see how I deal with them in the future." Fu Ling stretched out her hand and tapped the young boy's head, and at the same time, touched the white jade on her wrist. The bracelet is exposed.

"Hey, Sister Fuling is wearing a white jade bracelet." Someone exclaimed when they found out.

"Yes, what a beautiful white jade bracelet." Everyone boasted and praised.

"Is the beautiful white jade bracelet?" The third young servant joked, "Obviously Sister Fuling is beautiful, so this jade bracelet also complements it beautifully. Our Sister Fuling is so pretty, and I will definitely be more beautiful in the future." A lot of people like it."

Hearing this, Fu Ling was shy for a moment, then returned to her original appearance, and said ungratefully: "Don't think that you can stop working because you praised me today. You've decided on this job today, don't worry." want to escape."

Hearing this, the servant scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled, and the crowd also burst out laughing, teasing one after another.

In this noisy environment, the woman standing in the center glanced casually, and unexpectedly saw the handsome man looking in her direction.

Although the eyes didn't change as usual, it made the woman feel extraordinarily hot, and her red cheeks quickly lowered, covering the white jade bracelet under her sleeves.

And the man also saw the face like a warm red cloud, and immediately realized that he was staring at him.Embarrassed in his heart, he immediately turned his head away, revealing the reddened ears.
