In fact, this palace has not had such a big battle in previous years. But only this year is different! This year, the precious son of Master Wang and Mrs. Wang, the richest man in the entire imperial capital—Wang Songlin! I'm coming back for the New Year! ! !
And that's why, the entire palace is re-decorated up and down.
After all, he is now the richest man in the imperial capital. If you want to talk about big scenes, you must have seen countless. If it weren't for the fact that his parents were still here, this Wang Songlin would probably never come to a remote town like Fengshou Town again in his life.
Today is the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, and Fengshou Town, where the temperature has plummeted, is already covered with snow and frozen three feet. Even the Daoxiang River outside the town, which has never been frozen, is rarely frozen.
In the sky, there are pieces of flying snowflakes, extremely pure white, very beautiful. And this is also Bai Ling's favorite scene.
After today is over, the servants of the palace will also go home to celebrate the new year. Therefore, today's palace is a little different from usual. After all, after today, this year's work and things are finally coming to an end. Everyone can take a good rest and enjoy the family reunion with their families.
On this day, Bai Ling changed into his servant's clothes as usual, and was going to ask Manager Hu to see if there was anything he could do to help.
Speaking of the past few days, the entire palace was still in a state of turmoil. But today, in this palace, it is surprisingly quiet. Basically, everyone didn't have much to do, and most of them met together, chatted and laughed, and talked about the interesting things that happened during this year.
Even Mrs. Wang, who has always been very harsh to her servants, is unusually calm and gentle today. She was a completely different person from the stingy and short-tempered showman Mrs. Wang before.
I don't know if it's because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, or his son is coming back soon. In short, Mrs. Wang during this period is simply loved by everyone, and I can't find any point to complain about. And the big guys also sincerely hope that the former Mrs. Wang will never come back.
Walking through the central hall of the palace, before finding Bai Ling, who was in charge of Hu, Chuncao stopped him first.
"Bai Ling! Madame needs you!"
Bai Ling was puzzled: "Looking for me?"
"Yes!" Chuncao nodded at him, smiled happily and said, "I'm looking for you!"
Looking at the spring grass smiling so happily, Bai Ling felt strangely similar. And for some reason, Bai Ling seemed to be able to see something else in Chuncao's eyes. It's like planning something and refusing to tell him.
But he still smiled at Chuncao: "But I don't know where Madam is now?"
Chuncao pursed her lips and said, "She's waiting for you in the garden~"
"Okay! Miss Lao Chuncao is here." After saying that, she turned and walked towards the place where Mrs. Wang was.
On the other hand, Chuncao, who watched Bai Ling go away, looked at Bai Ling's back who was still refusing to move, and her transparent eyes were full of anticipation. Anyone can see the vigorous vitality emanating from the whole body from the inside out. This is a woman in love.
"Ma'am! Chuncao, whether I can be happy for the rest of my life depends on you!!!!"
Chuncao almost had tears in her eyes, and her big eyes blinked with sparkling water. In my heart, I prayed to almost all the gods I could think of.
"As long as I can catch up with Mr. Bai Ling, I, Chuncao, would rather not eat green peppers for the rest of my life!" Even though green peppers are what she hates the most in her life...
In fact, during the past few months since Bai Ling entered the palace, this Chuncao girl has been pestering Bai Ling a lot. Almost every day when Bai Ling was working, the spring grass was by Bai Ling's side.
At first, Bai Ling thought that the girl simply saw that he couldn't do some things, so she wanted to come over and help him. But later he found out that the reason why he came to help him was because he was clearly interested in him. And not only that, every time the girl Chuncao met him, she tried every means to talk to Bai Ling.
And Bai Ling is not a person who is too easy to reject others, so every time, he will unknowingly become an obligatory chatter.
But if we put aside these things, the character of this Chuncao girl is very compatible with Bai Ling. So even if they are together to chat with each other for free, Bai Ling is quite happy with it.
However, the only thing that worries Bai Ling is...
I'm afraid he won't be able to respond to Miss Chuncao's feelings for him, and when the time comes, he will make others even more sad.
Bai Ling has already seen this point from Tao Yu'er. However, Tao Yu'er is even worse. After she knew that Bai Ling was Fang Ye's male favourite, she fell in love with Bai Ling desperately.
Looking back now, Tao Yu'er's cry is still in my ears. The scene of the smoky demon world is also vivid. However, what Bai Ling will never forget and remember deeply is Hanako Sakura's pair of three-color pupils. Those eyes that can seduce the soul and captivate the heart, I am afraid that no one in this world can match them.
Bai Ling sighed lightly, the hot air turned into a cloud of white mist in the cold winter and dissipated between the sky and the earth.
Fortunately, he has left that place of right and wrong. Get away from that filthy, disgusting place.
He is living a much better life now than when he was in the demon world. Although he is now a slave to others, doing some low-level work. But there is a kind of unfettered freedom, and it is no longer a bird to watch and play with.
A bird in a golden cage is harder than a fish in a river.
This was the most appropriate sentence that Bai Ling could think of for his current state.
After all, no matter how beautiful and exquisite the golden bird's cage is, it is nothing more than a shackle and bondage to hold the bird in place. No matter how you compare it, it can't compare to the clear river water, where the unrestrained fish want to come here freely.
For some reason, Bai Ling suddenly thought of Li He at this moment.
Thinking of him, a little dark and thin, but extremely resolute and handsome face. Even in this severe winter, Bai Ling's heart felt a little hot for no reason. The temperature of the whole person has risen a little.
Maybe, after going back this time, he should also...
"Xiaobai~"
Mrs. Wang's voice clearly reached Bai Ling's ears from the pavilion.
"Come, come to me~"
Mrs. Wang beckoned to Bai Ling from a distance, signaling him to hurry over.
It was only then that Bai Ling realized that he had walked into the back garden unknowingly. The courtyard is full of wintersweets carefully transplanted by servants, proud and frosty, blossoming and fragrant. In this world of ice and snow, it is unique, and it is really a rare beautiful scenery.
No wonder, in such a cold weather, Mrs. Wang is still thinking about coming to the garden to enjoy the plum blossoms. It is really this Aoxue Hanmei, it is indeed breathtakingly beautiful. Just like in the cold winter, a dazzling and beautiful blood is dotted in this mortal world.
Of course, in addition to this, the pavilion that was originally ventilated from all sides has already been surrounded by a layer of curtains to block the wind. There is a hot stove in the middle of the gazebo, which is very warm.
Mrs. Wang in the gazebo has a rare kind face, and her smile is not as fake as in the past. On the contrary, there was an extra kind of intimacy that Bai Ling could clearly feel. And this kind of Mrs. Wang is completely different from the Mrs. Wang that Bai Ling usually knows. For a while, Bai Ling was a little uncomfortable with Mrs. Wang who looked like this.
Bai Ling bowed respectfully to Mrs. Wang and said, "Bai Ling has met Mrs. Wang, but I don't know why Mrs. Wang called me here..."
"Come~" Mrs. Wang kindly interrupted Bai Ling, patted the stool beside her and said, "Xiaobai, come and sit~"
Bai Ling was a little hesitant, afraid that on the twenty-fifth of the twelfth lunar month, the last day of work for the servants years ago, Mrs. Wang would come and give him something. After all, he hasn't given him this month's monthly money, and the red envelopes that the palace gave to each of his servants... just in case...
Mrs. Wang, who had sharp eyes, guessed what Bai Ling was thinking in a second. However, she was neither shy nor annoyed, she was very calm. After all, she knows exactly who she is and what methods she has used to "fool" people. However, this time, she really had no intention of fooling Bai Ling.
"Don't worry, your monthly money and red envelopes will be given to you by Mr. Hu later. Besides, I didn't come here to give you a special favor before the New Year." Mrs. Wang still smiled, but she had already begun to look after herself It's time to make tea.
"Okay... okay..."
Bai Ling, whose mind was pierced by Mrs. Wang, was more or less embarrassed. So, he had no choice but to sit beside Mrs. Wang honestly.
In the silent gazebo, there were only Bai Ling and Mrs. Wang. In my ears, apart from the inconspicuous sound of wind and snow, there was only the sound of Mrs. Wang concentrating on making tea. Pour boiling water into a fine porcelain cup. In the cup, there are only a few emerald green pine needles floating up and down. The dense hot air curled up in front of the two of them, like a white mist separated by a veil.
Mrs. Wang didn't speak, but just signaled Bai Ling to taste the Nanshan pine tea first.
Bai Ling thanked him, held the teacup to blow the hot air, and took a sip. In an instant, an indescribable bitterness spread from Bai Ling's mouth to his whole limbs.
bitter! Undrinkable!
This was Bai Ling's first impression of this pine needle tea, but what followed was a sweetness that was born from Bai Ling's own mouth, from the inside to the outside, entwining Bai Ling's taste buds closely, bringing a A joy that lifts the spirits.
The so-called extreme bitterness, even drinking saliva is sweet, I am afraid this is the feeling.
And the inexplicable sweetness in Bai Ling's mouth was nothing but his own saliva. Of course, it also comes with a little sweetness unique to pine needle tea.
Bai Ling was a little surprised and said, "Ma'am, this is..."
