Chapter 268 Meeting in the Snow
The next morning, it snowed outside for the first time since the beginning of winter.
Jiang Yingxue stood in front of the window, watching the snowflakes falling outside.
The sadness in her heart became more intense. She turned around and said to the girl beside her:
"Bring me my cloak, I want to go outside for a walk."
The girl said to her:
"Miss, don't you want to go back after breakfast?"
Jiang Yingxue shook her head, and then said to the girl:
"I won't have breakfast. It's rare to encounter the first snowfall in winter. I want to take a walk outside."
The girl quickly went to get her cotton cloak and put it on her body. Then he took an oil-paper umbrella and followed her out. "
Along the way, they stepped on the snow under their feet and walked towards the garden behind.
From a distance, Jiang Yingxue saw a familiar figure appearing in front of her. I saw a middle-aged man standing next to him.
Probably he heard the sound of stepping on the snow behind him. When she looked back, she happened to be eye-to-eye with Jiang Yingxue behind her.
He glanced at Chen Ming beside him, who walked out of the garden knowingly. Jiang Yingxue walked towards Fan Yao involuntarily.
Fan Yao looked at Jiang Yingxue who was walking towards him. When she came to his side, he greeted Jiang Yingxue:
"Ms. Jiang, do you have such a taste for it that you come here to walk in the snow and look for plum blossoms?"
Jiang Yingxue knelt down slightly, saluted Fan Yao in front of her and said:
"When it comes to winter, the most beautiful scene is the heavy snow in the sky. Being in this beautiful snow scene makes people unreal. I also want to be like these fluttering snowflakes, without sorrow. , no worries, flying happily in the air. I heard that Mr. Fan’s hometown is also in the north. It seems that he is used to such snow scenes. "
Fan Yao looked at Jiang Yingxue who was wearing a red cloak in front of him. Against the background of the white snow, they complement each other and have a unique charm.
He said to Jiang Yingxue:
"If I remember correctly, Miss Jiang's name also has the word snow in it. Doesn't the meaning of your name coincide with the scenery in front of you? Then Miss Jiang was also born in winter."
Jiang Yingxue did not dare to look at Fan Yao in front of her. She just nodded and said to him:
"You're right. I was born in the snow in winter, so I got the name Yingxue."
While the two were talking, they heard the girl not far behind them suddenly say:
"Good morning, young master."
Jiang Yingxue was startled by this sentence and quickly looked back, only to see Jiang Feng and his boy appearing in the garden.
Jiang Yingxue looked at Jiang Feng who was looking towards her and called out "big brother" in surprise.
Jiang Feng ignored his sister Jiang Yingxue and greeted Fan Yao directly:
"Isn't this Mr. Fan? I've always wanted to go over and see you, but it's just because I'm too busy with things around me. I can't spare the time to greet you. And Jiang Chen is even more busy, and he doesn't know how to give me you as my friend. Let’s get acquainted. It’s a rare snowy day today. Why don’t we get together? We’ll all be friends from now on, right?”
Fan Yao saluted Jiang Feng, then looked at him and said:
"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your kind invitation. Jiang Chen went to the Hanlin Academy early in the morning. When he has some free time, we can have a good gathering again."
Jiang Feng was unhappy when he saw Fan Yao talking with his sister. He didn't expect that his invitation to show his kindness would be rejected by him.
An unknown fire broke out in his heart, and he said to Jiang Yingxue:
"Come with me, I want to talk to you."
After saying that, he turned around and walked forward without saying hello to Fan Yao.
Jiang Feng's abnormal behavior made Jiang Yingxue stand there, very embarrassed.
She glanced at Fan Yao and then said to him:
"Master Fan, I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, she turned around and left Fan Yao in a hurry, heading out of the garden.
Fan Yao looked at Jiang Yingxue's sad expression when she looked at him, and something seemed to touch her heart.
Fan Yao didn't take his eyes back until Jiang Yingxue turned around the rockery and disappeared into the swirling snowflakes.
At this time, Chen Ming saw that everyone had left, and then he came to Fan Yao's side. When he saw Fan Yao, he stared blankly in the direction Jiang Yingxue left, and did not recover for a long time. He said to him:
"Sir, everyone is gone, what are you looking at there?"
Fan Yao looked back, stretched out his hand, and let the cold snowflakes fall on his palm. It's like watching a beautiful girl dancing.
He closed his palms suddenly, as if to tightly hold every snowflake.
A biting coldness reached the bottom of his heart. After a long time, he opened his palms. The crystal snowflakes in his palms had already turned into a handful of water, flowing cleanly along the lines of his palms.
He looked at Chen Ming beside him with a smile and said;
"Whether she can leave or not, it doesn't matter to me. I'm just admiring the way the snowflakes are falling."
Chen Ming looked at Fan Yao in front of him and felt heartbroken. If so many tragic things hadn't happened, maybe he would have been happily married with a wife and children, living a prosperous life and having a happy family.
Who knew that he would be involved in this battle for the throne involuntarily. Not only did the whole family lose their lives, but he also became a bereaved dog. Not only would he have to be on guard against being hunted down at all times, but also if Jiang Chen hadn't provided him with a place to stay. I'm afraid that even now, I'm still running around like a bereaved dog.
Fan Yao looked at Chen Ming who was in a daze and said to him:
"Chen Ming, did you think of our hometown when you saw the snow? You were all implicated by me. If you hadn't been ordered to protect me, you wouldn't have left your wife and children and stayed with me all day long. By my side. I also want to get revenge as soon as possible, so that you can end this wandering life as soon as possible and return to your family as soon as possible. "
