055 Nanxia's New Year's Gift
The snow fell for three days. Although it was not heavy, it kept falling, and the snow in the yard lost its calf.
Chu Yu likes snow very much, especially in the capital.
On snowy days, I feel that the whole world is quiet, with only pure white things. Just looking at the world outside the window makes me feel very satisfied.
An Ruoruo sat in front of the charcoal basin, staring at the sweet potatoes in the charcoal basin with big eyes, and occasionally showing a cheerful expression.
The little girl came to play early in the morning. When she saw lotus roasting potatoes in a charcoal pot, she also learned to roast them.
I almost flipped through the kitchen and took out all the baked items.
"Sister Chu, when will this sweet potato be roasted?" An Ruoruo couldn't wait and kept churning the sweet potato with a clip.
The lotus flowers also watched from the side, and sniffed from time to time, "I haven't smelled the fragrance of sweet potatoes yet, I'm afraid it's not roasted yet."
An Ruoru frowned, "What kind of fragrance can sweet potatoes have?"
The lotus thought for a while, "It's just a sweet fragrance."
An Ruoru said that she couldn't understand, but she was obedient and obedient without any refutation. She waited there like a well-behaved little doll.
Chu Yu looked at this scene and found it very interesting.
"Miss, aren't leopards just animals in the forest? Will they still be afraid of the cold?" The lotus pointed at the leopard lying next to the charcoal basin, and looked at its comfortable appearance, and was really puzzled.
Chu Yu also had a laughing and crying expression.
Yes, the leopard of the king of the jungle is either afraid of heat or cold when he comes to the secular world. He is such a stingy little thing.
"Maybe we have a lot of people, I'm willing to come and join in the fun."
The leopard looked up at Chu Yu as if he could understand human words. Then he lay back.
The lotus was amused by this scene.
"Sister, the Gu family has gone to Yulong Mountain. I heard that it is very fun there, but it's a pity that my father can't go if he has something to do, so I can only hold it in the mansion." As An Ruoru said, his big eyes turned red.
Chu Yu then remembered that Shangshu An was the head of Shangshu, and he was highly rated and powerful.
"Even if you are your father and can't go, you can go with your grandfather."
An Ruoruo shook his head, "My grandfather is not in good health recently and is not suitable for going out for bumps. Daddy was afraid that I would have problems with Yulong Mountain alone, so he would not allow me to go out for fun."
Chu Yu thought about it and came up with an idea, "Why don't you go with the Gu family? With Changling taking care of you, Shangshu An is not worried."
Speaking of this, An Ruoruo finally couldn't help crying.
"I originally planned that way, but after sending someone to the Gu family, I realized that they had already gone out early this morning."
Chu Yu looked helpless.
This girl is really pitiful. Even if she went to Gu's house to inform her yesterday, she would be able to play with Gu Changling and the others today.
"Okay, OK, stop crying." Chu Yu couldn't bear it, so he walked over and coaxed him: "If you really went to Yulong Mountain, how could you have the chance to eat roasted sweet potatoes and roasted potatoes?"
When An Ruoruo thought about this, it seemed to make sense and stopped crying.
Several girls and a leopard were having fun in the room. After lunch, An Ruoruo was a little sleepy and was arranged by Chu Yu to rest in the warmhouse.
He Hua smiled and said, "I didn't expect Miss An is actually the girl's personality."
This means that she just cried and she was a lady from a famous family. This look is really rare.
Chu Yu leaned against the leopard and ate the fragrant roasted sweet potato in her hands. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Are they a little girl or grew up in Linzhou? There are no rules and thoughts of noble ladies in the capital."
"Send someone to the yamen to inform your son-in-law, it will be very windy and snowy today. Don't come after you get off the yamen tonight."
It is not too far on weekdays, but it takes many hours to walk today.
It's time to go back and forth, and it's probably too late when he can go home to rest.
"I'll go now." He Hua put on a cloak and went out.
At this time, only she and the leopard were left in the room, but they were completely quiet.
Not long after, the lotus came in from outside the house, shook the snow on its body at the door, and then entered the house.
Behind her two stout women, they walked in with a large box, placed the things next to the charcoal basin and retreated.
"What is this?" Chu Yu stood up curiously and walked over. Seeing that the box was very exquisite.
He Hua also looked up, "The doorman sent it to him, saying it was a New Year gift from the lady's friend. He didn't say the specific name, but said that the lady knew who it was after seeing the thing."
Chu Yu was very curious. She didn't have many friends. Apart from An Ruoru and Gu Changling around her, she had no friends either.
Guan Susu, who was far away in Linzhou, sent a gift, but she had arrived a few days ago and had been sent to the warehouse by her.
The lotus came forward to open the box, and saw small boxes of different sizes placed inside. When they opened them separately, they found that they were all in clothes and jewelry.
only……
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with these things. After careful consideration, I found that they were all regulated by Nanxia.
"It was actually sent by Princess Jianning." Chu Yu was a little surprised.
She and Princess Jianning are not very friendly. The other party would actually send a gift at this time, which made her flattered.
The lotus flower put out all the things inside and couldn't help but smile and said, "The third princess is also interesting. She has given so many clothes. Although each piece is of high-quality material, it is all men's clothing."
She pointed to the jewelry, "These hairpins, jade pendants, etc., are rare treasures, but... this seems to be something that men often wear."
Chu Yu was also a little laughed.
However, she could also understand Princess Jianning's intentions.
They are all women, but they are not ordinary women either.
They are ambitious, capable, have good martial arts skills and like to walk and the world.
For them, the safest and most comfortable outfit may be to dress up as a man.
"The third princess is intent."
Chu Yu looked at these things and felt a little longing. After all the matters between her and the Crown Prince were resolved, she would wear these clothes to Nanxia and meet her old friend who was both enemies and friends.
"Sister Chu..." An Ruoru walked out of the warm pavilion, obviously still looking sleepy. After seeing these things, his eyes slightly widened, "These... are so beautiful."
An Ruoruo grew up with his brother since childhood, so he was naturally used to seeing men's clothing and men's accessories, so he is naturally familiar with these things.
"Is this to give to Lord Gu?"
Chu Yu laughed, thought for a while, nodded, "Yes, I want to find a suitable opportunity to send it out. You can't tell it out in advance, do you know?"
An Ruoru nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, sister Chu, I won't say it." After saying that, he stretched and pointed out the door, "Sister, I should go back. It's hard to walk on the road. If I go back late, my father and grandfather should be worried."
The little maid had already dressed her fur and hat for An Ruoruo. After thanking Chu Yu for a few thanks, the master and servant returned happily.
