Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 182 Three Elder Brothers

The plum forests in the imperial garden make people feel like they are in a world of plum blossoms.

When the weather is cold and freezing, only plum blossoms bloom, bringing some different scenery to this winter day.

Tong Jia Xili walked forward along the path, looking at the delicate and beautiful plum blossoms on the branches, she didn't know which ones to pick and go back to put in a bottle.

The flowers are delicate and beautiful, which is always unbearable.

"Gege, it's great for this servant to look at this red plum." Mu Sang pointed to a plum tree nearby, and said, "Look, there are still several flower bones."

"After you take it back and put it in a vase, it can bloom again. It won't wither after a few days, will it?"

Last year, when he was in the Compassionate Ning Palace, Mu Sang seemed to have made such a suggestion.

"That's fine." Tong Jia Xi Li said, "Pick some and put them in my room, and then send some to my aunt. My aunt is always afraid of the cold and can't come out. It's good for us to bring some flowers back."

"Yes." Mu Sang put on her clothes, and picked plum blossoms together with Caiwei.

About a quarter of an hour passed, and the small bamboo basket I brought was already full of plum blossoms, seven or eight plum blossoms.Among them, there are mostly pink plums and red plums, and there are also two winter plums.

"It's so beautiful." Tong Jia Xili couldn't help but reached out and touched the plum blossoms in the basket, her joy was beyond words.

"Isn't it?" Caiwei said: "My servant heard that there are green plums in the south of the Yangtze River. Green plums are rare, and it is difficult to survive in the north, otherwise they should be common in this imperial garden."

green plum?

The flowers are always red, and Tong Jiaxili has never seen green flowers.

"It was spring when I went to Jiangnan the year before last, and there was no trace of the plum blossoms." Tong Jia Xili said with some regret, "If I can go to Jiangnan in winter in the future, I will be able to see them."

"Yes." Mu Sang said, "I have never seen green tweed before, it's rare."

"By the way, Gege. This plum blossom is so delicate and beautiful, why don't the servant help you to put one on your temple? Although the flower is delicate and beautiful, it can't compare to your smiling face."

"Look at your mouth, it's getting skinier."

Although Tong Jia Xili said so, she was also short, and asked Mu Sang to pin the plum blossoms to her temples.

In the past, Yinzhen pinned peach blossoms to her temples in this way.Plum blossoms and peach blossoms are similar in appearance, but there is some meaning of the past in it.

Not long after coming out, there were gradually more people around the palace.

But the weather is always cloudy this day, and I don't know when the snow will fall again.And because it was not early, Tong Jia Xili had to go back first with two maids.

Just after leaving the Imperial Garden and arriving outside Jiangxuexuan, Yinzhi was seen leading a young eunuch out from a distance on the palace road.

"Tong Gege?"

There was a flash of surprise in Yinzhi's eyes, and he quickly stepped forward to nod to Tong Jia Xili to say hello.

"The courtier has met the third elder brother." Tong Jia Xili also politely returned a salute.

Yin Zhi smiled, just in time to see the plum blossoms in the basket in Mu Sang's hand.

"Did Tong Gege just come back from the Royal Garden?" Yinzhi looked at the plum blossoms and said, "The plum blossoms are three points whiter than the snow, but the snow is less fragrant than the plum blossoms."

"The two essential things in this winter are plum blossoms and snow."

Yin Zhi spoke eloquently, and even wrote poems at his fingertips.Between the lines, Tong Jia Xili already felt Yin Zhi's true love for literature.

It's no wonder that I want to edit a book myself.

"Isn't it?" Tong Jia Xili asked: "But third elder brother, who is in such a hurry, where are you going?"

"Just now I went back for a walk with Er Niang, and I saw something was missing in the hall of Er Niang Pavilion." Yinzhi said: "I think plum blossoms are blooming, and I also want to fold some plum blossoms and put them in Er Niang's palace."

"Third elder brother is pure filial piety." Tong Jia Xili took a few plum blossoms from the basket, handed them to Yin Zhi, and said, "The sky is so cloudy, I'm afraid it will snow soon."

"Although this place is close to the plum garden, it will take some time to climb and fold the plum blossoms. I have gathered a lot here, so let's give it to the third elder brother first."

"What's so funny about that..."

Yinzhi was about to decline subconsciously, but looking at Tong Jiaxili's sincere and sincere eyes, he couldn't say anything more.

"Thank you, Tong Gege." Yin Zhi cupped his hands and said respectfully: "When the weather is fine, I will definitely fold the plum blossoms and return them to Tong Gege."

"Brother San, you're being polite." Tong Jia Xili smiled and left first.

It's not that important to pay back plum blossoms or something.

On the contrary, these three princes seem to be well-mannered, and naturally abide by the way of Confucius.It's just that looking at the way he treats Concubine Rong, he is also somewhat careful.

When they returned to Chengqian Palace, the snow had already fallen.

There were snowflakes on Tong Jia Xili's hair bun and cloak, and immediately after returning home, he drank ginger soup to clean up all these things on his body.

After Meihua sent some to the queen, Tong Jiaxili still had some more.

"Send these extra plum blossoms to the fourth elder brother?"

Tong Jia Xili looked at the plum blossoms already in the bottle, and said to Caiwei who was holding the bottle: "We can see it when we go out here, and there is a faint fragrance of plum blossoms when we open the window."

"It's Yinzhen's place. I don't know if there is any. Give him some and put them in the study. It should make him feel better when he writes, right?"

Caiwei opened her mouth, swallowed what she wanted to say, then backed out, and ordered someone to send the bottle and plum blossoms to the fourth elder brother's study at the household department.

...

After nightfall, the Hubu is still brightly lit.

It is almost the end of the new year, and the period between the beginning of the twelfth lunar month and the seal of the imperial court is always the busiest time for the household department.Not long after Yinzhen arrived, he was too busy dealing with it.

Finally, after the sky is completely dark, I will have a little leisure time, and I will go back to the study to have some meals and then rest for a while.

"Si elder brother is tired, will you go back to the palace to rest today?"

Su Peisheng followed behind Yinzhen, and asked with some distress.

This is busy, and I don't care about my body too much!As a slave, he looked a little distressed.

"I won't go back today." Yinzhen said with some bitterness in his heart, "I've been busy for the past few days, so I have a chance to go back and have a rest."

He did a lot of things in a hurry.After finishing it in advance, we will have time to go back and have a look at Tong Jia Xili and the Queen.

Take a look at his family and talk to them.

"Your servant knows." Su Peisheng said: "The dinner is ready. I will accompany you back to the study first. Use some things before you get busy."

"Alright."

After Yinzhen said so, he went back with Su Peisheng.

The study is in the household department, which is a temporary resting place for the officials of the household department, but it is only a few steps away.

Yinzhen walked in front, and the moment he opened the door first, he smelled a faint fragrance of plum blossoms.

PS:

Xi Li: How is it?Surprised or not, is it unexpected?These are the plum blossoms that I picked specially and sent to you.

Yinzhen:! ! ! !surprise! ! ! !Accident! ! ! !I love it! ! ! !you are the best! ! ! !
Xi Li: ...Why don't you just give me a plum blossom? As for being so happy and excited?

Yinzhen: Because of you, everything is worth it.

Xi Li: I don’t want to listen to your love story anymore (not)
