Jian Yu was busy until the evening when he came back from Dali Temple. After walking around for a while, he suddenly asked: "What is Bai Yue doing today?"
The boy who was ordered to keep an eye on Bai Yue said mysteriously: "Miss Bai hasn't been out all day."
Jian Yu stretched out his hand and asked his servants to change into home clothes: "You didn't go out, but you just wandered around the house?"
"No, they didn't go out of the yard." The boy said, "I've been watching them all day. Miss Bai and the girl in the yard haven't come out all day. I guess they are building a snowman."
Jian Yu glanced out the window and reacted: "Yes, it's another annual event..."
Jian Yu said, covering his forehead with his hand, feeling very speechless.
"The entire capital, no, the entire Liang Kingdom." Jian Yu sighed: "Only our family would do such a thing."
Liang Meng smiled and said: "Isn't this interesting? Young Master, the house is bustling, it would be great if everyone is happy."
Jian Yu shook his head and smiled even though he had no choice but to do so.
It's harmless, just make a fuss, it's just for the children to fulfill their filial piety and please the elders.
Thinking about it, Jian Yu rolled up his sleeves and said, "We haven't built a snowman in our yard yet. Let's make one quickly to avoid grandpa nagging us again."
When it comes to fighting, the combat value in Zifengxuan is definitely the highest in the Jian Mansion, but when it comes to building a snowman, it is really not good. But the important thing is to participate. A group of young men worked hard in the snow and sweated, and soon built a snowman that was larger than a real person.
snowman.
Jian Yu patted the snow on his sleeves with satisfaction: "Okay. Although we can't win with quality, we are the biggest every year."
The boy sighed and watched Jian Yu enter the room. They also wanted to share the bonus, but as long as they were still in Zifengxuan, there was no such hope.
Not long after Jian Yu entered the house, Yun'er came.
Yun'er ignored the snow monster in the yard that was taller than her but extremely ugly, and said respectfully: "Master, Madam said, Miss Bai doesn't know anything when she first arrives, and there are not many people in the yard. If you are free, come and see her.
Take a look and help me."
Who wanted to help her? Jian Yu snorted in his heart and said, "I know, tell mother and I'll be there right away."
Yun'er returned home satisfied, but Jian Yu reluctantly went to Hexiangju.
Today, all the courtyards are the same. The doors are closed, and each one contains shocking secrets.
Jian Yu knocked on the door.
Soon someone inside responded: "Who is it?"
"I."
It was quiet for a while, and someone changed, it was Bai Yue.
"anything?"
Jian Yu frowned outside: "I'm here to see you. Let's go in and talk."
"Ah, if there's nothing else, let's talk tomorrow." Bai Yue obviously told lies with his eyes open: "I'm already asleep, it's inconvenient."
Jian Yu was irritable: "What time of the year are you going to bed so early?"
"Yes." Bai Yue said firmly: "It's snowing and cold. Go to bed early. Let's talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."
How could Jian Yu not understand, but there was nothing he could do about it. Although it was easy for him to pass through the short courtyard wall, it was not impossible in his own home.
Bai Yue dismissed Jian Yu, held up the hem of his skirt, and carefully walked around the ground one after another, row after row... and walked back.
The next day the sun was shining brightly, but the temperature was lower than yesterday. The snow had stopped, but the whole world was white.
Jian Yu wrapped himself thickly and walked out of the room. Peggy was under the eaves, covering a tray with a piece of silk cloth.
The three judges of the Jian family, Mr. Jian, Mr. Jian and Mrs. Jian, were looking at each yard from yard to yard. There were snowmen wearing various clothes, with various decorations, and some piled up in various shapes.
All the way to the entrance of Hexiang Garden.
Mrs. Jian smiled and said: "I don't know what kind of new look Yue'er made. Yesterday Yun'er went there and blocked the door and refused to let her in."
"So mysterious?" Mr. Jian asked curiously: "So serious, then we must take a closer look."
The boy knocked on the door, and someone answered almost immediately, and the door opened with a creak.
Bai Yue opened the door himself: "Grandpa, uncle, aunt, please come in quickly."
The door was completely opened. Mr. Jian walked in and said, "I heard that you were busy for a long time yesterday and what did you do..."
The words stopped suddenly. Mr. Jian took in the entire courtyard and was so shocked that he could not speak.
"Yue'er, this..." Mrs. Jian was also surprised: "This, this is..."
There are little ducks in the small yard, on the road, beside the flower beds, on the neatly trimmed shrubs in the flower beds, on the tables and chairs.
A duck made of snow, with a round body, a round head, a flat mouth, and two small black bean eyes.
I don't know if there are hundreds or even thousands of neatly plump little ducks lining up in a neat queue, looking at them with their little black bean eyes.
"This is a little duck." Bai Yue smiled and said, "Grandpa, isn't it very cute?"
One of them doesn't look like one yet, but the rows of them give people a very cute and cute feeling, and the visual effect is perfect.
"Cute, indeed cute." After being stunned, Mr. Jian laughed out loud, turned to Mrs. Jian and said, "We see so many snowmen of all kinds every year, but no one is as cute as this group of ducks.
.”
Bai Yue made Mrs. Jian happy, and naturally Mr. Jian and his wife were also happy. Mr. Jian followed suit and said, "It is indeed different, Yue'er, do you have a name for this group of ducks?"
"Yes." Bai Yue said, "It's called the Spring Garden."
"The garden is full of spring scenery?" Mrs. Jian was puzzled: "What's the meaning of this?"
"Because ducks are prophets of the warmth of spring rivers, ducks represent spring." Bai Yue's nonsense skills are superb: "Ducks are here, is spring still far behind?"
The three of them were stunned and then laughed.
The purpose of building a snowman was to make everyone lively and happy. At this time, Hexiang Juli burst into laughter. After Mr. Jian finished laughing, he said seriously: "If you want to talk about the meaning, the thoughts, and the skill of the craftsmanship, Hexiang will be in our house this year."
Ranked first."
Master Jian and Mrs. Jian both agreed: "Father is right."
Bai Yue waved, and Peggy came over with a tray from the side.
On the big tray, there are three small trays, and on each tray is a fat snow duck. Of course, it is exactly the same as the ones in the yard.
Bai Yue said: "There are also three little ducks, which are given to grandpa and uncles and aunts. Grandpa, you pick one first. If you choose the right one, your wishes will come true."
Although Mr. Jian has lived a lifetime, read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, he has never followed Bai Yue's routine. He looked carefully at the three ducks and found that they were almost exactly the same.
But there is a thin red string hanging around the duck's neck, and a small sign hanging on the side, but it is not clear what is on the sign.
Bai Yue specially reminded: "You can only see it if you select it."
Mr. Jian was confused, but he carefully selected the most pleasing one and pointed at it, and the boy hurriedly took it.
