When Xu Shifeng heard him say this, he felt even more uncomfortable.

He moved his seat so that he didn't have to face his brother, and then said, "She is the palace maid in the Yikun Palace. We have seen it twice in Peiping when the imperial concubine was not enthroned."

“…”

"And she had taught the King of Wei's archery skills, which was also considered a meritorious to the King of Wei."

"Oh? She is still practicing martial arts."

"Yes, she, she is different from ordinary palace maids."

Speaking of this, he was afraid that Xu Shizong would be thinking randomly, so he continued, "I didn't plead for her that day. But the gift of Guanyin was just a kindness from the Empress. It shouldn't have caused any bad things because of that thing. In this way, the Empress would not be happy to see her."

Xu Shizong looked at him for a while.

Then he said, "You don't have to be nervous, you are just worried about you."

"Worry? What are you worried about?"

"You are so old."

“…”

"Brother has no son, only Xiaoxiao, so the incense of the Xu family depends on you."

“…”

"You've been busy with your business again, when will you think of this?"

“…”

"When you think of it, you can only have a tree of pear blossoms that will overwhelm the crabapple."

Xu Shifeng's face couldn't help but turn red.

He turned his face aside and whispered: "Brother, you are worried about this too."

Xu Shizong glanced at him.

He didn't continue to say it, just said, "Okay, if you don't want to listen, I won't say it anymore. There is only one thing, you can do it for me."

"What's up?"

"I booked a set of books at Yayizhai on the Gulou a few months ago. It turned out that it was coming these days, but I was afraid that they would send them to my mansion. You send someone to help me pick up the books so that the guys over there would not be empty."

"It's okay. I'll go there myself tomorrow."

"Okay, I'm afraid that others will get my book dirty."

"Brother, you don't care about gold, silver and jade, so you won't let someone touch your books. This has been like this since childhood."

"hehe."

As the two brothers said this, the atmosphere eased a lot.

Xu Shizong held the handkerchief and covered his mouth and coughed gently twice.

The next day, the beginning of You hour.

The winter comes, the darker it gets. Just as the time comes, the sky outside is almost dark. There are many fewer pedestrians on the street, and there are almost no customers entering this jade shop.

Ran Xiaoyu sighed and stood up.

Originally, Nanyan had given up the plan of "leaving snakes out of the hole", which also prevented her from leaving the palace to watch the shop, so as not to be busy every day, but she was still unwilling to give up and just wanted to come and see if there were any clues.

However, there was still no movement this day.

It seems that there is really no need to guard it anymore.

Seeing her get up, the boss and several friends who had wanted to close early, went home to warm up the bed and walked up to them, and Ran Xiaoyu said to them, "I've been disturbing you, a few people."

The shop owner smiled and said, "Where is where, Miss Xiaoyu is polite."

Ran Xiaoyu said: "I won't come tomorrow, but you should still be careful about what the Empress told me. If there is any movement, please immediately follow the path I explained."

"yes."

"Also, that Guanyin who gave birth to a child"

"Don't worry, Miss Xiaoyu, we are working hard."

"Um."

Ran Xiaoyu nodded and left their shop.

As soon as she walked out of the door, she felt a gust of cold wind whistling towards her face, which made her tremble for a while. She hurriedly wrapped her coat tightly and prepared to walk back.

Originally, Nanyan arranged a carriage, but she was alone and was not used to riding a carriage.

It's better to walk on the street.

Even though the cold wind was looking for a slight gap and pouring into the collar and cuffs, the chill was biting, she still liked to walk around the street, watching the hawkers who were trembling with cold and trembling with white air and hard hawking, and watching the people on the road with red faces that were frozen, there were some fireworks on earth.

I stayed in the palace for too long, and I saw the jade building and jade pavilion everywhere.

It's almost forgotten that they still live in the world.

Just as she was walking, suddenly something fell down in front of her eyes.

"This is"

She was stunned and subconsciously raised her head.

Another white dot fell down, falling right on her eyebrows.

As soon as it touched the human skin, it melted instantly, leaving only a little undetectable chill. Ran Xiaoyu stretched out her hand and her fingertips were a little wet.

It's snowflakes.

Ran Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide and looked at the sky. Snowflakes kept falling in the already dark sky. After a while, they accumulated on the head and shoulders.

It's snowing.

The snow this year came a little late, but in an instant, it seemed as if the entire capital was filled.

Ran Xiaoyu was a little stunned for a moment.

Although she grew up in the south, she is not unfamiliar with Luo Xue. In the past few years, she has seen many magnificent snow scenes following Nanyan and Zhu Feng.

And there was also a snow in her memory.

The heavy snow fell one after another, rendering the entire earth white, as if the filth in the world was covered by such heavy snow, becoming crystal clear and without any dirt.

And when she was young, she saw the most miserable scenery in such a snowy scene.

She couldn't help but stretch her hand, her palm facing up.

After a while, the palms were filled with fine snow foam, but before there was enough time to stop, the snow foam melted in her palm again, leaving only a little water droplets.

Come and go so quickly.

It's like the disappearance of life.

Ran Xiaoyu looked at the falling snowflakes, which made her eyes fascinated for a moment. When she felt the wetness in her palms became more and more, she couldn't help but murmured softly: "It's so cold..."

At this moment, a carriage came on the snow on the street behind her.

The horse's hooves woke up the originally quiet street. When the few pedestrians on the street heard the sound, they all retreated to both sides. The people driving seemed very anxious, constantly waving their whips to urge the horses pulling the cart, and running forward with greater efforts.

However, Ran Xiaoyu seemed to have not heard it at all.

Her whole mind seemed to be psychedelic by the falling snowflakes.

After a while, the carriage was only a few feet away from her. Someone on the street saw it and couldn't help but shout: "Hey, be careful!"

“…!”

Ran Xiaoyu seemed to wake up suddenly and turned to take a look.

The carriage is already in front of you.

She opened her eyes wide and wanted to dodge, but it was too late. She only saw two tall horses suddenly rushing in front of her. The horses were frightened and stood up. The strong horse's hooves kicked at her.

"careful!"
