Chapter 933 Sword Dance in the Snow
Chapter 933 Sword Dance in the Snow
It was the Xiaohe season, and winter had already begun. After noon, the temperature began to drop slowly.
Lu Cheng and Daiyu were both martial artists, so they didn't mind the cold. But Wang Xifeng was weaker, and she had just recovered from a serious illness, so she couldn't stand the cold.
Daiyu also discovered it in time and had someone bring a pot of hot tea and light a charcoal fire, and the room became much warmer.
Lu Cheng was talking with Daiyu and Wang Xifeng in the house when a little maid outside suddenly shouted, "It's snowing!"
Daiyu, who was chatting in the room, was immediately excited when she heard this: "Brother, second sister-in-law, let's go out and see the snow."
"Let's go out and take a look."
Seeing this, Wang Xifeng had no choice but to stand up, put on her coat, and follow the two men outside.
Seeing this, Zijuan hurried to the inner room to get Daiyu's crane cloak with red feather gauze and white fox lining, and followed her out: "Miss, put on the cloak quickly to avoid catching a cold."
Lu Cheng walked over and took the crane cloak from Zijuan: "Let me do it."
Afterwards, Lu Cheng walked to Daiyu's side in two or three steps, stretched out his hand and shook it, opened the crane cloak in his hand, and put it on Daiyu. He also put on her hood and tied the double-ring four-way Ruyi belt.
Daiyu let Lu Cheng tie her clothes and also reached out to help Lu Cheng adjust his collar.
Seeing this scene, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but feel a little envious and sad. She couldn't help but think of Mr. Lian who was exiled thousands of miles away. Although her husband had always been unreliable, they still had many years of love.
Now, the couple are thousands of miles apart, and they don’t even know if they will see each other again in this life. Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng felt even more melancholy.
Ping'er, who was standing by, noticed that Wang Xifeng was in a low mood, so she took the initiative to walk over, straightened her master's collar, and said in a gentle voice, "Grandma, be careful not to catch a cold."
Wang Xifeng tightened her clothes and looked back at Ping'er: "You should also put on your robe quickly."
At this time, the snow outside was falling harder and harder, fluttering down like flying catkins, which was very beautiful.
Seeing this snowy scene, Daiyu couldn't help but think of the first winter she met Lu Cheng. She turned her head and looked at Lu Cheng's profile: "Brother, after the snow stops, can we make a snowman again?"
"Of course. I just don't know if the snow is heavy enough."
Looking at the snow outside, Lu Cheng suddenly became interested. He walked to the window in two or three steps, picked up a bamboo pole used to support the window, weighed it in his hand, and said casually: "Junior sister, I will dance with you with a sword today."
After saying that, Lu Cheng leaped into the snow and wind, and shook the bamboo pole in his hand. Suddenly, a buzzing sound was heard in the air, as if a sharp sword was unsheathed, and the sound of metal clashing.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng was seen walking forward, his sword was like a meteor and he was like a swimming dragon, stirring up the flying snow in the sky, forming a beautiful scenery.
Just at this moment, a burst of laughter was heard outside the yard, and Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun and Shi Xiangyun came together, preparing to invite Daiyu to enjoy the snow together.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the yard, the girls saw Lu Cheng dancing with a sword in the snow. They stopped immediately, not wanting to disturb him.
Amidst the flying snow, a man and a bamboo pole danced with a buzzing sword energy, the sword light was like a dragon, and even drowned out the whistling wind. (Reference Huo Jianhua's sword dance in the snow)
The vast expanse of land is covered in silver, and the landscape is new. He steps like a swimming dragon, and swings his sword to wield the heaven and earth.
At this moment, all the girls were stunned. How could they have ever seen such a scene in normal days?
At this moment, all the girls felt that the flying snow all over the sky was just a backdrop, and the young man in the snow was the center of the world.
I don't know how much time passed, but I saw the young man dancing in the field suddenly stop, put away his sword, stood up, palms facing the sky, caught the snowflakes, and floated in front of Daiyu: "Junior sister, these snowflakes of this winter are for you."
Daiyu reached out and touched the cold snowflakes, and a warm feeling rose in her heart. Then she felt a little regretful: "But, they have all melted."
Wang Xifeng and the other girls standing by were stunned, their envy for Daiyu beyond words.
"No wonder Sister Lin wants to learn martial arts. It was only today that I realized that learning martial arts can be so beautiful."
"The book says that a hall full of flowers can intoxicate three thousand guests, and a sword can freeze fourteen states. I didn't believe it before, but today I finally saw it."
"I'm really here today. Thanks to Sister Lin, I can actually see Brother Cheng dancing with a sword. It's really worth the trip."
"Okay, come in quickly. Look at you, you are all covered in snow."
A group of girls were chatting and laughing, gathering under the eaves to admire the snow scene, which became the most beautiful scenery in the snow.
It was already evening. Lu Cheng chatted with the girls for a while and then left the Rongguo Mansion.
When he returned home and walked into the backyard, Lu Cheng was a little surprised not to see Xiangling and Qingwen coming out to greet him.
He took off his coat and hung it on the rack, then walked into the inner room, where he saw the two maids, Xiangling and Qingwen, hiding together, looking at something in their hands.
It was not until Lu Cheng approached that Xiangling realized something was wrong. When she turned around and saw Lu Cheng, she suddenly became flustered and quickly pulled Qingwen, trying to hide the thing in her hand.
Qingwen turned around and saw Lu Cheng. She was also flustered. She quickly stood up and blocked Lu Cheng. She blushed and said, "Master, why...why did you come back without telling me?"
Although Xiangling hid quickly, Lu Cheng still caught a glimpse of the illustrated picture book in her hand. He immediately understood what the two girls were doing and couldn't help but joked, "It seems that you two have grown up."
Xiangling and Qingwen blushed immediately and were afraid to look at Lu Cheng.
"Brother~"
"Well, it's nothing. Get ready, it's time for dinner."
Qingwen blushed again and quickly changed the subject: "Well, Master... Today, the family of Mr. Zhou in the west of the city sent a brand new cloak. They said that Miss Zhou made it especially for Master. I took a look and found that the needlework is really good. I'll go and show it to Master."
"go Go."
Speaking of which, Zhou Wan'er has often sent people to deliver letters over the past year, and occasionally she would also send one or two pieces of clothing or purses that she had sewn by herself.
Whenever this happened, Qingwen would always sew one or two pieces and place them at the bedside for Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng also knew that Qingwen was a girl who lacked a sense of security to a certain extent, and she was always defending her position as the "number one embroiderer" beside her master.
However, Qingwen's needlework is indeed remarkable. No one, whether it is the eldest daughter of the Zhou family or the other girls in the Jia family, can compare to her.
Lu Cheng put on the cloak made by Zhou Wan'er herself. The size was just right and the color was well matched. She was worthy of being the eldest lady from a silk family.
"It's really not bad."
When Qingwen heard Lu Cheng's praise, she immediately remembered it and thought about making two more sets of underwear for her master.
At night, after dinner, Lu Cheng asked the servants to prepare a large bucket of hot water. Just as he was about to take a hot bath, he saw Xiangling following in from behind.
"Brother... I... I just learned a musical instrument recently, and I want to... I want to show it to you."
"Oh? What instrument?"
"Flute..."
