At the end of the year, Zhou Mu's family welcomed guests.
Lu Ci knocked on the door of Zhou Mu's family.
The north wind whistled, snow fell in the capital, and a thick layer of land was accumulated on the ground.The snow is covered with ruts and footprints, scattered and irregular.
Lu Ci closed his scarf, looked down at the coat that was tightly buttoned up, and then opened the button. The black straight coat was blown up by the cold wind, and the cold wind whistled past, and he had goose bumps.
If his mother saw that he was no longer buttoned, she would probably say that he wanted to be gentle and not warm.
The door opened soon, and the butler Uncle Lin opened the door.
Uncle Lin asked: Who are you?
Lu Ci cleared his throat: I am Zhou Jing’s friend, and he asked me to hand it over to Zhou Mu.
Uncle Lin invited Lu Ci in after hearing this. As soon as the gate was closed, the wind and snow were locked outside the door, and the door was filled with joy.
It is not yet New Year's Eve, and it is still early in the twelfth lunar month. The Zhou family hangs red lanterns, and red can be seen everywhere, just like the word "Happy" is hung.
It was not far from the gate to the hall. Along the way, Uncle Lin asked him what he was called and what he should call him, and whether he was tired along the way.These questions are so easy to answer, he replied one by one.
As for whether he is tired or not, he doesn't feel tired.
It was not against his will, but that he really thought so.He came from thousands of miles away just for one person, but for the sixteen-year-old Lu Ci, it was just the time.
Lu Ci?
A familiar and nice voice came from Lu Ci's front.
He looked closely and saw that his sweetheart was wearing a dark green cloak, with joy and surprise in his expression.
He raised his hand and wanted to say hello, but he felt that the action was too childish, so he gave up, sister.
Although she is Zhou Jing's cousin, Zhou Jing usually only calls her cousin and will definitely not call her sister. She is also an only daughter. After living for more than 20 years, no one has called her sister so close.
Now she didn't mind whether she said something to ask the other party to call Cousin Mu during the first meeting, and then responded with a smile: Why are you here?Come with Zhou Jing?
As she said that, she looked up again for Zhou Jing's figure, but in the end she was ineffective.
He just told the housekeeper that he was here to help Zhou Jing deliver things, which was a casual lie. How could Zhou Jing take the initiative to give things?
Oh, I'll help Zhou Jing deliver things.
Will this kid give me something?This is the first time, is it Uncle Lin?
Uncle Lin replied: That's right, Young Master Jing really doesn't give us anything.
He thought his lie was about to be exposed, but Zhou Mu changed the subject.
Why are you still standing there? Come into the house quickly. How cold is it outside?
After she said this, Lu Ci really felt a little cold. He vomited white breath and quickly walked side by side with Zhou Mu. What is his sister doing recently?Why didn’t you stay in Shanghai to study?
I am twenty-two, I have read all the books I should read, and if I read them again, I have to study abroad.If she wanted to go abroad, she would not want to go abroad. Her mother was in poor health and she would not be able to find out her mother's health in time when she went abroad.
For her, it is good to study abroad, but the most important thing is to be able to spend more time with her mother.
I see that the house is very festive. Sister, have you started preparing for the New Year so early?Although Lu Ci seems to be careless, he is a person who can tell people's mood.
Zhou Mu replied without a joke, and there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes. He guessed that there was something she was worried about, so he didn't ask.
After entering the house, Zhou Mu took off his cloak and took the hand warmer from the servant. Didn’t Zhou Jing tell you?I'm about to get engaged.
got engaged?!
Didn’t he get rid of it?Then the founder is still thirsty?
Besides, he rushed all the way and didn't contact Zhou Jing at all, and he didn't know that she was going to get engaged again.
The red sandalwood chair was covered with silver fox fur, which was extremely warm, but what Lu Ci felt was a heart-wrenching coolness. He seemed to be in an ice cellar, but his heart was still beating.
Why don't you talk anymore?Is it too cold?Zhou Mu saw the tragic Lu Ci and gave instructions to the subordinates, and brought another soup sibling.
Mu He paused and said, "Is it still the founder of the newspaper last time?"
Zhou Mu shook his head: It’s Qi Feng from Fengxue Golden Tower.
Fengxue Jinlou is a small Jinlou in Beijing. Its financial resources are not as good as the Zhou family, but it is better because the Qi family has only one only son. After Zhou Mu married, he did not have any intrigue or complicated relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
These are naturally the advantages of the Qi family, but in Lu Ci's eyes, he only felt that the Qi family's people were full of money and were not worthy of Zhou Mu.
Have you chosen the day for engagement?His problem was not that he wanted to congratulate Zhou Mu in a hurry, but that he wanted to see if he still had a chance.
It's probably the New Year?At this time, Yu Pozi also sent it, but now he is just asking for marriage and discussing it, and the specific date has not been decided yet.
If there is no fixed day, there is still a chance. At worst, it can be ruined again.
Oh by the way, what did Zhou Jing ask you to send?Zhou Mu took a sip of tea, and the tea soaked her lips and left crystal traces on her lips.
Zhou Jing did not give a gift, it was his own gift.
Lu Ci took out the gift he prepared, and was unhappy that his gift became Lu Ci's wedding dress. I don't know what he gave, he just gave me a box.
How could he not know?
This is the style he found after searching through all the pen shops in Shanghai.
The pen is all black all over, and only the cap has a little delicate and colorful detail. The pen clip is carved with ripples of water, and the faint smell of water waves.
Zhou Mu took the gift and smiled happily. He knew that I loved writing, and I would give him a gift when it was spring.
He couldn't stay longer after giving the gift, but he was not sure if Zhou Mu's family was too enthusiastic or why, but he was left for dinner.
The dining table was full of fun, and everyone could find the right topic to chat without any embarrassment.
It was already 8:30 pm after dinner, but a blizzard broke out outside.
The wind and snow slapped on the glass window, making a terrifying sound.The snow outside is thicker, so it is difficult to walk.
Will you have something to do tomorrow?Zhou Mu thought that Lu Ci was a guest, so he couldn't let others go back in the wind and snow. What if he got frozen?
Lu Ci shook his head.
Let's take a night off at my house today. Although my family is not as wealthy as Zhou Jing's family, there are still a few extra rooms.Zhou Mu said, Aunt Zhang, look at which room is bigger. If the bed is close to the stove, go and see. Young Master Lu slept at our house tonight.
Lu Ci knocked on the door of Zhou Mu's family.
The north wind whistled, snow fell in the capital, and a thick layer of land was accumulated on the ground.The snow is covered with ruts and footprints, scattered and irregular.
