Chapter 274 It's Snowing
Pearl stepped forward and, seeing Gu Shuyan's somewhat red and swollen eyes, exclaimed in surprise before she could finish speaking.
"My goodness, miss, what happened to your eyes?"
Upon hearing this, Mingyu quickly came over as well.
When her gaze fell upon Gu Shuyan's face, she was taken aback for a moment, then quickly grabbed two eggs.
"Miss, you're so careless. What if Madam sees this?"
Mingyu noticed the reason for Gu Shuyan's red and swollen eyes, and immediately applied a hot egg to her eyes, which made them look less puffy.
"Okay, I'll definitely be more careful next time."
Gu Shuyan nodded with a smile, looking like she was obediently accepting the lesson, which made it difficult for Mingyu to say anything more to her.
"Miss, it's snowing. Would you like to go out and take a look?"
Pearl was doing Gu Shuyan's makeup when she asked with a smile.
Today is the first heavy snow of the year, and girls their age naturally love days like this. Watching the snowflakes dance in the sky, their mood naturally brightens.
Gu Shuyan hadn't expected it to snow. Thinking of the cold wind last night, she wondered if Yun Yichen had caught a chill on his way back.
"Since it's snowing, let's skip paying our respects to Grandma for a bit. Let the kitchen go buy some mutton, and we'll stew it for dinner."
Gu Shuyan didn't actually like snow. In her past life, Mingyu would turn pale with pain whenever it snowed. Furthermore, with no one caring about their well-being, they could only huddle together under one blanket for warmth.
Twice, Gu Shuyan thought she and Mingyu would freeze to death, but it seemed that God thought that was too easy for them and made them survive.
Reborn into this world, and facing such an unbearable cold again, the first thing Gu Shuyan thought of was to share a pot of steaming hot mutton with her two maids.
“Miss and Madam are really on the same page. Someone from the kitchen just came and told Miss that she doesn’t need to pay her respects today. They will send the stewed mutton over later.”
Pearl's face was beaming with undisguised joy. Mingyu couldn't help but poke her head, saying, "You little glutton, I think you're the only one who wants to eat mutton."
"With such heavy snow outside, of course we should eat mutton. Doesn't Sister Mingyu want a bowl of hot mutton soup?"
Pearl didn't care at all about revealing her little thoughts. Her young mistress was kind and always treated them well, which is why she developed her fearless personality.
"Alright, alright, aren't you afraid that one day the young lady won't want you anymore!"
Mingyu teased Pearl with amusement, and Pearl pouted, looking smug: "Miss wouldn't do that."
"Go out and see the world!"
Seeing the two of them like this, Gu Shuyan smiled knowingly and stood up from the stool.
As she reached the doorway, Gu Shuyan realized that the snow from last night had been so heavy that all she could see was a vast expanse of white.
"Have Father and my eldest brother returned?"
Gu Shuyan reached out to catch the falling snowflakes and asked.
"He's back, but judging from the young master's expression, he doesn't seem very happy," Mingyu said, recounting what she had heard.
Gu Shuyan nodded upon hearing this. "What about Second Brother? Is he still at the yamen?"
"The second young master did not go to the yamen today. It seems he asked for leave, saying that the second young mistress's brother from her maternal family has come."
Mingyu continued answering, and Gu Shuyan narrowed her eyes suspiciously upon hearing it.
