Chapter 81

Spending Time Together At midnight, snow began to fall, gradually increasing in size. By dawn, the sky had been covered with snow, and everything was covered in white.

Jiang Ning had gotten up early to recite her lessons, and after seeing the snow, she ran excitedly to Shu Tong Courtyard.

"Sister, get up quickly, it's snowing!"

Jiang Shu was still in the warm quilt, and she got up reluctantly after hearing Jiang Ning's call.

"Girl, wear something thicker, it's cold outside as the snow hasn't stopped yet." Chu Yu stopped Jiang Shu from going out, and put a thick fur cloak on her.

Tan Yu opened the door, and Jiang Shu just walked out when a snowball came towards her and hit her on the head.

"Hahaha..." Jiang Ning laughed wildly, and bent down to grab the snowball.

Jiang Shu pretended to be angry: "Okay, you're itchy, right? Let me show you how I'll deal with you."

Jiang Shu quickly ran to the yard, took a snowball and threw it at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning dodged flexibly and threw a snowball at Jiang Shu. Jiang Shu

squatted to avoid it, and the snowball hit Tan Yu behind him.

Tan Yu shook off the snow on her head and said angrily: "Miss, I'll make a snowball for you!"

There was snow everywhere on the ground, on the trees, and on the stone table. There was also goose-feather snow falling down, and soon the three of them were covered with snow.

Chu Yu was afraid that they would catch a cold and get sick, so she called them into the house and asked the kitchen to cook ginger soup and send it over.

"The first snow of this year is so heavy." Jiang Shu sighed while holding the ginger soup and looking at the flying snow outside the window.

"Suddenly, a spring breeze came overnight, and thousands of pear trees blossomed." Jiang Ning thought of the new poem she learned before the holiday, and it was very appropriate to recite it now.

Jiang Shu praised her after hearing it: "Those who have been to school are different."

Although she has read a lot of books, she has not been to school like men, so her knowledge is different after all.

"Sister, do you want to learn? I will teach you." Jiang Ning was very excited.

Jiang Shu shook her head: "I have read the poem you recited, but I can't recite it as fluently as you do."

"Sister is also very good. Not only can she help mother manage the family, but she can also do business like father. She can do a hundred times more than many men in this world." Jiang Ning's eyes were full of admiration and love.

In Jiang Ning's eyes, Jiang Shu is the best sister in the world.

Jiang Shu chuckled and tried to touch Jiang Ning's head like he did when he was a child.

Jiang Ning tilted his head to avoid him and said seriously, "I've grown up. I'm not a child anymore."

"Yes, yes, I'll be thirteen and a half after the Chinese New Year."

"Sister, you're kidding me!"

The New Year arrived with the laughter of the siblings.

Because Jiang Shu returned home, this New Year was more lively than in previous years.

Family reunion is the happiest thing in the world.

What touched Jiang Shu the most was that Jiang's father and mother actually prepared New Year's money for her.

In the eyes of her parents, no matter how old she is or whether she has been married, she will always be their child.

Soon after the Chinese New Year, it will be the most beloved festival of Shangjing people, the Lantern Festival.

The ladies and gentlemen who were usually confined to their houses by etiquette could go out to enjoy the lanterns and have fun during the Lantern Festival. It was the busiest day in the capital.

Yu Yuan had told Jiang Shu a few days ago that he would go to the palace for a banquet during the Lantern Festival, and asked Jiang Shu to stay at Cuiyun Tower.

Jiang Shu and the shopkeeper waited until the end of the hour of Xu. All the customers in the store had paid their bills and left. They estimated that no one would come to eat anymore, so they asked

the waiter to clean up and close the store. There were still some dishes left in the kitchen, so Jiang Shu asked the shopkeeper and the waiters to take them back.

When Jiang Shu and the shopkeeper locked the door and prepared to leave, a voice sounded behind them.

"It's closed."

Jiang Shu turned around and saw Yu Zheng wearing a black cloak, standing quietly in front of Cuiyun Tower like an eagle.

"Prince," Jiang Shu said in surprise, "Why are you here so late?"

Yu Yuan had already gone to the palace to attend the banquet, so he should have gone as well.

Yu Zheng looked at her and said with a hint of grievance, "I didn't have enough at the palace banquet, so I came here to have something to eat."

This...

Jiang Shu looked at Cuiyunlou, which had been turned off and locked, and the chefs and waiters had all gone home, and suggested, "There are many stalls outside today, I'll invite you to have a bowl of Yuanxiao."

Yu Zheng was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

So the two of them walked towards the busy street together.

When Jiang Shu was about to ask him why he came out alone, she turned around and saw Zhuiyun Zhufeng following behind him from a distance.

Tonight, Shangjing City was crowded with people, and all kinds of lanterns were hung everywhere. There were all kinds of stalls on both sides of the street, which was a bustling and prosperous scene.

The two walked half a street, found a small stall with few people, and ordered two bowls of Yuanxiao.

The stall was set up by an old couple, with gray hair and coarse clothes, and a satisfied and happy smile on their wrinkled faces.

Jiang Shu watched them rolling and cooking Yuanxiao, and an envious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Do you know them?" Yu Zheng asked suspiciously.

Jiang Shu shook her head and said softly, "I don't know them, I'm just a little jealous."

"There are thousands of couples in the world, but only a few can grow old together."

Yu Zheng savored her words and said puzzledly, "Divorce and divorce are rare in our dynasty. Except for death in the middle of marriage, most couples can grow old together."

Jiang Shu glanced at him and sighed, "But most of them are resentful couples, and they are buried with resentment and hatred when they grow old. What's the point of such a white head?"

Before Yu Zheng could answer, the old couple came over with Yuanxiao.

"After you finish eating, the two gentlemen, go to see Aoshan. I heard that Aoshan is very big this year."

"Really? Then I have to go and see it." Jiang Shu smiled and responded, scooping up a Yuanxiao with a spoon and blowing it gently.

Yu Zheng pinched the handle of the spoon and ate it elegantly, his eyes fixed on Jiang Shu's bulging cheeks.

When Jiang Shu looked at him, Yu Zheng quickly retracted his gaze and pretended to eat Yuanxiao seriously.

"Will you go to see Aoshan after dinner, Lord?" Jiang Shu asked, biting a piece of

Yuanxiao. "Yes." Yu Zheng replied softly.

Jiang Shu smiled and said, "Then let's go together."

She was a man now, and there was nothing wrong with going to see Aoshan with Yu Zheng.

Yu Zheng's face was calm, but a trace of joy grew in his heart, spreading throughout his body like a vine.

There were so many people watching Aoshan that the streets were packed with people. Jiang Shu squeezed outside the crowd for a long time, but couldn't get in.

She was a little disappointed, and when she was about to give up, she suddenly felt her waist tightened, and Yu Zheng took her and flew to the roof. It was

the first time for Jiang Shu to stand so high, and she was a little panicked. She grabbed Yu Zheng's cloak and didn't dare to let

go. "If you want to see Aoshan, you have to go forward." Yu Zheng turned around and stretched out his hand to her.

Since they were already up there, Jiang Shu didn't show off, and stretched out her hand and put it in Yu Zheng's palm.

Yu Zheng held it tightly, and led her to walk slowly on the roof.

Jiang Shu's hands were a little cold, and Yu Zheng felt a chill from her palms straight to her heart, giving rise to a strange feeling of numbness.

Afraid of falling off the roof, Jiang Shu kept staring at her feet. She didn't even know that Yu Zheng had stopped, and she bumped into him and lost her balance.

Yu Zheng was quick-witted and pulled her to steady her body and said, "Just watch from here."

"Okay." Jiang Shu stood firmly and turned her head to look at Aoshan below.

"It's so beautiful."

Seeing Aoshan from this angle for the first time, Jiang Shu was completely amazed.

She hadn't seen Aoshan for six years and almost forgot what it looked like.

Just because Shen Changze was not in Beijing, Shen's mother said that it would be easy for a woman like her to cause gossip when she went out, so she hadn't seen the excitement of the Lantern Festival for six years.

Her almond eyes lightly swept down, and Jiang Shu's eyes suddenly tightened.

Yu Zheng also saw it and turned to look at her.
