Little Cardamom - Chapter 89

Early in the morning, when the snow was still falling outside the house, Ming Tan was pressed on the couch and messed around again.

When she got up, her hair was in a mess, her little face was flushed, and the maids who came in to serve her looked at her heart, but she didn’t know whether it was a guilty conscience or something, Ming Tan always felt that they all had a knowing smile on their faces It made her feel uncomfortable.

New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Eve.

Today in the mansion, everyone is dressed happily from top to bottom, the maidservants are wearing fresh and new jackets, Ming Tan also specially put on a firefox cloak, but Jiang Xu is an outlier, still wearing a thin black brocade dress.

Ming Tan wanted him to change it, but he said that he had to go to the martial arts arena, and it would be inconvenient to wear heavy clothes. Ming Tan thought about it too: “Then husband, put on a crane cloak first, and Atan will help you get it when you get to the martial arts arena.”

As she spoke, she picked up the crane cloak and tiptoed to put it on Jiang Xu’s body.

It was snowing all night, and the branches on the roof were all white, but someone had already cleared out a clean place on the martial arts arena for his prince to practice sword.

Ming Tan sat at the side, hugged his cloak, and held a small hand warmer in his hand.

Jiang Xu didn’t know whether it was on purpose or what, he didn’t practice well in the cleaned place, and after a few moves, he fell to the snow. He was dressed in black clothes, and the sword light reflected the snow, and his moves were sharp and awe-inspiring.

It’s just… strangely beautiful.

Ming Tan unconsciously became fascinated by it, thinking with all his heart and eyes: Husband is so pretty! Husband is really amazing!

She stared at Jiang Xu without blinking her eyes, and the sharp blade provoked snowflakes to dance in the air. When she drew the sword, she was still unsatisfied and looked at it with her face in her hands.

When Jiang Xu walked towards her with his hands behind his back, she realized later that a little snow lion had piled up with a sword in the snow behind him!

Ming Tan stared wide-eyed, hurriedly got up and looked at the snow lion that was squatting in the snow and had already outlined its outline.

After a while, she admired from the bottom of her heart: “Husband, you are too powerful, you can almost pile up with just a sword, so cute!”

Jiang Xu casually broke a dead branch and handed it to her: “You do the rest.”

Ming Tan nodded, leaned closer and squatted down, and used a branch to draw hair on the snow lion’s body. It’s just that the hand left the stove suddenly, and it was so cold that when I used my left hand for a while, I had to tuck it into my sleeve and replace it with my right hand.

Fortunately, there was not much left, and she finished it in a short while. She got up and looked around for a while, and she looked pretty decent. She smiled with satisfaction.

Jiang Xu glanced at her reddish hand, and put the hand warmer back into her hand without any trace.

…

Bai Minmin and Ming Tan can be regarded as having a good understanding. When they woke up and saw it was snowing outside, they also asked the children in the house to build a snow lion together.

But working with children is no better than working with His Royal Highness King Dingbei. Children don’t understand anything, so forget it if they can’t help, and make trouble for her.

Bai Minmin had been busy all morning, and she was almost dizzy from the anger of the brat, her hands were still red and red from the cold, and she didn’t feel it for a long time. After returning to the house and soaking in warm water, the palms of her hands were itchy and painful, and the servant girl complained distressedly, and hurriedly applied chilblain ointment to her.

A few days later, Bai Minmin saw Ming Tan and talked about making snow lions. Who would have thought that before she could complain, Ming Tan excitedly talked about the cute and mighty snow lions he and his husband made, and how they made snow lions? It’s fun, and the two of them will pile it together again when it snows tomorrow.

Bai Minmin asked hesitantly, “Aren’t your hands cold?”

“Why is it cold?”

Bai Minmin was very surprised, after careful questioning, she found out, oh, her so-called snow lions were piled up in sevens and eights for her by her husband. The hand stove, even if it is piled up by two people.

Very good, having a husband is great. For some reason, her marriage has been bumpy for nearly two years, and for the first time she has the urge to hate marriage.

Leaving aside what happened later, on New Year’s Eve, after the snow lions were piled up, Ming Tan took Jiang Xu together and distributed three months’ worth of silver rewards to the servants in the mansion. He was also grateful and encouraged. Feeling joyful.

In fact, the palace did not treat them lightly in the past, but the palace is usually deserted and solemn, and there is always a little less popularity during the New Year’s festival. Now that there is a princess, this festival is a festival and a new year, and they all have the appearance they should have.

Ming Tan didn’t know that this was Jiang Xu’s first time celebrating the New Year in his own mansion after he opened the mansion as an adult.

In the past, sometimes in the frontier, sometimes in the palace.

Fortunately, in the frontier, although the conditions are difficult, the cooks in the army will also cook a sumptuous meal and roast the sheep with a pile of bonfires. Everyone sits in a circle, which is very lively. It’s not interesting in the palace, he is alone, even the grand fireworks fall in his eyes, it is deserted, not very attractive.

In fact, from the south direction of the Dingbei Palace, one can also see the fireworks in the Forbidden Palace, but tonight in the Dingbei Palace, no one seems to be watching the splendor.

In Qi’an Hall, Ming Tan and the maidservants below laughed and quarreled, chasing and setting off fireworks.

A fire was set up in the courtyard, and the cook’s marinated roast lamb was placed on top of it and turned back and forth. Occasionally, oil splashes splashed in the fire, the skin was golden and shiny, and it sizzled.

A table and chair were moved to the side, and the pot from which the broth was boiled was milky white and bubbling, beside it were various thinly sliced ​​beef and mutton, juicy fresh vegetables, served with various dipping sauces prepared by the cook, Delicious need not mention.

Jiang Xu sat at the table and poured himself a drink, his eyes following the petite figure in the Firefox cloak.

The maidservants were afraid that he would be too scared to be presumptuous at first, but His Highness seemed to be very talkative tonight, for a moment he forgot his dignity and laughed with the princess, and he showed no sign of getting angry and pursuing it.

But with the prince here, the maidservants and Ming Tan naturally know how to be measured when laughing and laughing. After a while, Ming Tan was tired and sat down to rest, and they also retreated with a sense of humor.

Beads of sweat appeared on Ming Tan’s forehead, he took a sip of the fruit wine Jiang Xu had poured, and smiled with satisfaction.

Seeing that there was no one around, she also confirmed that there was absolutely no secret room in the house, so she got up and sat on Jiang Xu with the excitement that had not dissipated.

“Husband, today is the happiest New Year’s Eve I have ever had.” She looked at him seriously, “Spending New Year’s Eve with my husband seems to feel like home. Anyway, I am very, very happy.”

Jiang Xu stared at her, and just about to respond, Ming Tan remembered something again: “Oh yes, I have a gift for my husband.”

She kept it close to her body all the time, and after looking down for a while, she took it out as if offering a treasure.

It was the sachet with the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in water that he had received before, but this time the color of the sachet was a little different from before, and there was a concentric knot tassel on the bottom.

He took the sachet and opened it, and inside was a bunch of hair tied together with a red string. This lock of hair is long and short, uneven.

Ming Tan explained embarrassingly: “My hair is well taken care of, I’m a bit reluctant to cut it, and I don’t dare to cut my husband’s hair, so I picked it up on the bed and in front of the dressing table.” He said. Then, she became confident, “Anyway… In short, if it’s not yours, it’s mine. If you are in me, and you are in me, then it can be regarded as ‘married as husband and wife, and there is no doubt about love and love’!”

Jiang Xu considered, but didn’t make a sound.

Ming Tan feels that he is a little bit shameless, and he is not willing to cut his hair if he has a knot in his hair. Is it because my husband hates it?

She was hesitant, and was about to ask if it was too late to cut a bunch, so Jiang Xu closed the sachet tightly and put it in his arms again: “The princess’s gift, I like it very much.”

After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong, so he changed his words consciously: “I like A Tan’s gift very much.”

Ming Tan breathed a sigh of relief: “As long as Husband likes it!”

“But, I didn’t prepare a gift.” Jiang Xu thought for a while, “So, what wish do you have? If I can help you realize this wish, it will be a gift for you.”

Ming Tan didn’t even think about cheating for a gift in return, and when he got the promise for a while, he didn’t know what to wish for.

“Hmm…let me think about it.” Ming Tan wondered.

“It’s nothing, you think. It’s just a New Year’s gift, after tonight it won’t count.” Jiang Xu said solemnly.

How can there be such a thing!

Ming Tan glanced at him accusingly, but still racked his brains to remember.

Ming Tan used some fruit wine while thinking.

Soon when the child was approaching, Jiang Xu carried her up to the roof at the request of someone who was dizzy.

The Dingbei Palace is ruled by the Prince, and the roofs are higher than the other ones. Tonight, thousands of houses in the capital are brightly lit. At midnight, clusters of fireworks suddenly rise into the sky, not only from the Forbidden Palace, but also from the wealthy families in the capital. , the night sky was instantly reflected like day.

Ming Tan leaned against Jiang Xu’s arms and looked at the splendor of the night sky, and he still didn’t forget to evoke the memory of his husband in a low voice: “It’s good-looking, but it’s not unique.”

Jiang Xu said “hmm”.

On Yingxue Lake in Li County, he had seen the best fireworks in his life.

After the hustle and bustle, the night sky will always return to silence, Ming Tan looked at the silent night sky in a daze, and suddenly said: “It’s snowing.”

Jiang Xu raised his eyes, and the crystal snowflakes were falling again and again in the night.

The two sat quietly for a while, and when the snowflakes were scattered densely, Jiang Xu carried her off the roof.

Seeing that Jiang Xu wanted to carry her into the house, Ming Tan reminded: “Tonight I will watch the year.”

“There are many things to be busy on the first day of the junior high school, so there is no need to keep watch, let’s sleep for a while.”

That’s right, let’s relax on New Year’s Eve, and there will be many things to do in the next few days. Thinking of this, Ming Tan didn’t insist anymore, anyway, there are only two people in the mansion, it doesn’t matter if they stay together or not.

When he was placed on the couch, Ming Tan still stuck to Jiang Xu and would not let go.

Before falling asleep in a daze, she finally thought about her wish.

She clung to Jiang Xu’s ear, whispering sleepily: “Husband, my wish is that in the new year, you can like me a little more, a little more than before, okay, so that I will love you every year?” Make a wish once, and you will love me more and more…”

Jiang Xu looked at her quietly.

He didn’t seem to be sure that this wish would come true for her. Because now, he seems to already, like her very much.
