Chapter 496 Wang Wenjun
Gusts of cold wind whistled across the sky, carrying snowflakes. Everywhere you looked, it was all white, and no one knew when the snow would stop.
The sky suddenly brightened, and the soft light fell on the white snow, making it quite bright. The houses in the city, the neat streets, the weeping willows by the river, and the chessboard in the courtyard all seemed to be wrapped in a pure white coat.
Everything is quiet!
"When I went there, the willow trees were swaying. When I come back, it is raining and snowing."
In the small courtyard at the core of Luo Palace in Zhaocheng, a song with a hint of sorrow was heard. It was a song from the Book of Songs. The voice was soft but extremely touching.
Entering the not very big courtyard, everything was covered with silver. A woman was standing in the snow. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her skin was whiter than snow without any flaws. She was like a fairy goddess walking out of a painting. Her lips were as crystal and plump as jade. Her figure was very slim. The white silk dress stuck to her body tightly in the wind. The white dress was naturally very thin. Looking down, she was actually standing barefoot in the snow, with her crystal clear little toes curled up, but she seemed to feel nothing.
She had a sense of being detached from the world, and her temperament was extremely cold, as if she was blending into the wind and snow. Just by standing there, people couldn't take their eyes off her.
Then she moved, bending her body slightly, her figure slender, her silk dress dancing with the arch of her body. In the heavy snow, she actually danced. Every time she raised her hand and turned around, she was extremely beautiful. The cold and aloof person actually brought out a hint of the charm of a white fox.
"Qian'er."
Luo Bai walked into the wind and snow with an umbrella in his hand. Even though he was wrapped in thick winter clothes, he still felt a little cold. This winter was really cold. He looked at his wife who was dancing in the heavy snow like an elf in the snow, his eyes filled with honey.
Wang Wenjun stopped dancing after a spin, carefully lifted the hem of her skirt, and a sweet smile appeared on her innocent and refined face. The cold and aloof feeling that kept people at a distance collapsed in an instant, and she skipped to Luo Bai and took his arm.
Amidst the heavy snow, a man and a woman stood in the snow holding an umbrella. The man was very tall, and the woman leaned against him, her eyebrows were cold and picturesque, but her smile was sweet. The man was very handsome, but compared with the woman beside him, who was almost beyond the beauty of the world and was a gift from the world. Compared with the woman who could only exist in the painting, he was nothing.
Luo Bai smiled and said, "As soon as I saw the snow, I knew you must be dancing here and should have woken me up. Missing your dance would be a great regret in life."
Wang Wenjun's eyebrows curved at first, then she said coquettishly: "If you want to watch dancing, you can watch it anytime. I have danced even in my boudoir."
Luo Bai smiled softly and said, "It's different in the snow. My wife is a snow elf born into the world. She is the most beautiful at this time."
Wang Wenjun snorted twice, touched his clothes, and then said worriedly: "My dear, the cold wind is blowing and the heavy snow is hard to protect you. You will get sick if you wear so little. You'd better go into the house quickly."
Luo Bai laughed out loud: "This is already the thickest clothes, and you are wearing a single summer coat, and you still say that I am wearing too little?"
Wang Wenjun pushed Luo Bai straight into the house, saying, "My dear, why are you talking like that? I am the reincarnation of a snow spirit, and I am naturally not afraid of the cold. You know that."
Wang Wenjun was the little girl Wang Qiang, who was brought back to Zhaocheng by Luo Sheng. She was also one of the four great beauties, Wang Zhaojun. Due to taboos, she naturally could not be named Zhaojun, so Luo Sheng gave her the name Wenjun and she married her to Luo Sheng's son Luo Bai.
She is indeed quite magical. Under the care of the world, her appearance is naturally inhuman. Most importantly, she can feel like spring in the cold wind and heavy snow. She can still wear only a single layer of clothes in winter, and even walk barefoot on the snow without any frostbite. She is naturally close to snow and cold.
According to the records of the Luo family, there are very few such supernatural beings outside the Luo family. The wife of their ancestor Luo Yu, Xizi, who was famous among the various countries, was such a supernatural person.
According to legend, Xishi could control the water and make fish sink when she saw it. When Wang Wenjun was young, she could make wild geese land by just wave of her hand, which is quite similar to the legend.
Luo Bai was pushed forward, and he stretched out his hand and pulled the light Wang Wenjun over to him, saying as he walked: "Ah Qing sent a letter back a few days ago. Calculating the time, it should be these few days."
Wang Wenjun asked curiously, "Will Xiaolang go back to Chang'an again after returning home this time? Hasn't he found a woman he likes in Chang'an for many years?"
The two walked to the door of the house. Luo Bai shook off the snow on his umbrella, then put it away and said, "I won't go to Chang'an for the time being. As for getting married, it depends on his feelings. It's so hard to find someone he likes.
We only have one son and one daughter now, but this is not enough, we still need to work harder. "
Wang Wenjun's fair face turned red instantly. She let go of Luo Bai and ran into the house. Luo Bai looked at the elf-like figure and sighed slightly.
Once you have seen the ocean, all other waters are but puddles; once you have seen Mount Wushan, all other mountains are but mounds!
One of the main reasons why it is difficult for the son and daughter of the Luo family to get married is that the relatives they have been exposed to since childhood are all outstanding people, which makes everyone become picky. They don't care whether the person is humble or not, but they are extremely picky about the person himself.
Luo Bai and Luo Qing are brothers, and they grew up together with Wang Wenjun. It would be very difficult to find anyone else when they met Wang Wenjun, the daughter of the world's art group and production team. It's not just Luo Qing. All the sons and daughters of the Luo family have lived together since childhood, and there are many people in the same situation as Luo Qing.
The interior of the house was very plain and elegant, without any decorations such as gold or silver, and only in a few places were there Luo's favorite jade. After the development of the Western Regions, the sources of jade increased a lot, and Luo could be a little more well-off.
The house is mainly filled with calligraphy and paintings, exquisite bronzes, and a number of ceramics.
The couple simply washed up, and their son and daughter woke up. The son was a little older and slept in a separate room, while the daughter was still in her cradle, like a porcelain doll, very cute. She was probably hungry, and was crying softly.
Wang Wenjun's clothes were thin, so it was very convenient to breastfeed her. The little girl's eyes flickered and she took a deep breath and swallowed the milk in big gulps.
Luo Bai was looking through the family records and mentioned the story of Crown Prince Liu He. Wang Wenjun was probably breastfeeding and happened to be a daughter, so her maternal instinct was overflowing. She actually shed tears and said sadly, "The daughter I raised with great effort has suffered a disaster. It's a pity for the whole family. Liu He is really hateful.
He is so lustful, wouldn't he become even worse after becoming emperor?
Our Luo family's women are so beautiful, if one day he wants to forcefully marry our Luo family's daughter, what should we do? "
Hearing this, Luo Bai said coldly: "If that day really comes, he should be dead. Zhang Huai's assassination failed because he was not strong enough, so he could not succeed. I, Luo Shi, can kill him with one strike.
If he is really incompetent and unjust, even if he is really the Son of Heaven, my Luo family still has the protection of the Su Wang Shang Huang Tian. Human against human, my family is now invincible. "
Luo Bai said this calmly, and then he started to read some documents. Wang Wenjun sat beside him and fed his daughter. The faint aroma of milk lingered between them. His son was taken away by the female official to study.
The room was quiet. After the little girl had drunk her fill, she fell asleep again after a while. Wang Wenjun changed her clothes and sat back next to Luo Bai.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a burst of quiet but dense footsteps in the courtyard outside the house. Before the knock on the door was heard, Wang Wenjun had already opened the door. It was a rather pretty woman, Luo Bai's cousin and a female official in the palace. When the woman saw Wang Wenjun, she bowed and said, "Sister-in-law, how are you? Fourth brother, Young Master Qing, is back. I came to inform you."
Wang Wenjun's eyebrows lit up instantly. She and Luo Qing grew up together and had a very deep relationship. She asked, "Sister, have you had breakfast? Come in and have some."
The female official waved her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, no need. I haven't seen my fourth brother for a long time and I miss him very much. I want to go see him."
While the two were talking, they saw Luo Bai had stood up and walked to the door, with an uncontrollable joy on his face, "Qian'er, let's go see Ah Qing."
As he was talking, a hearty laugh was heard in front of the courtyard gate. Luo Qing strode in, bowed to Luo Bai first, and said with a loud laugh: "Brother, I hope you are happy and healthy. How can a younger brother not come to pay his respects to you?"
Then he looked at Wang Wenjun, who was wearing only a single layer of clothing in winter, and bowed again and said with a smile: "Qing has met sister-in-law. Sister-in-law is still as elegant as ever, not like an ordinary person. Qing has grown older, but sister-in-law is still the same as she was ten years ago."
Gongzi Qing, who was known for his taciturnity in Chang'an, changed drastically after returning to Zhaocheng, which must have surprised the powerful scholars in Chang'an.
Wang Wenjun's eyebrows curved, he covered his mouth and chuckled, "Ah Qing, you are still the same, there is no change, you are worthy of being the most sharp-tongued person in the clan."
Luo Bai put his arm around Luo Qing's shoulders and said as they walked: "After you arrived in Chang'an, you sent fewer letters home. This time you suddenly said you wanted to come back, I thought you were joking."
Luo Qing smiled and said, "How can this be a joke? Brother, I brought back a historian this time. He is a man of great talent. The history book he is going to write will surely bring glory to the family.
I am going to take him to see my father, would you like to come with me, brother?"
Luo Bai stopped walking and raised his eyebrows, "There is actually a historian that you admire so much. I should go and take a look. Are we leaving now?"
Luo Qing teased, "It is not the duty of the future head of the Luo family to ignore a talented person. Brother, do you want to learn the test method from the classics and let him stand still in the cold snow for a few days?"
Sima Qian was sitting in a reception room in the inner city, feeling quite restless. This was the inner city of Zhaocheng, and this was where the Luo family lived!
There are very few outsiders who have been here. If it weren't for writing history, Sima Qian knew that he would never have come here.
"Thump, thump, thump."
Several footsteps were heard, and Luo Bai and Luo Qing arrived together.
————
Lady Luo, surnamed Wang, with her name Qiang and courtesy name Wenjun, was from Nanjun. She had supernatural powers and could walk barefoot on the snow without getting hurt. Lady Luo called her Concubine Qiong to praise her.
The eyebrows of Qiang and Emei were peerless, enough to make geese fall. Other ladies were inferior to them. Only Xi Shi could be compared with them. She was sometimes called the fairy concubine.
Qiang was good at music and was proficient in four arts. It was also said that she had the stunning dance. Luo Bai praised her and said, "My wife has the stunning dance on the snow, which is the best in heaven and on earth!
I am the only one in the world who has seen this!"
Although I cannot see the original work of Jinghong, I am fortunate to have the dance record handed down. Looking at it, it is really a stunning beauty from heaven! - "Records of the Grand Historian: Biographies of Extraordinary Women"
