After rebirth, I kidnapped the future powerful official

Chapter 370 [Continued] Giving gifts
When the carriage arrived at Cui's house, Jiang Yi jumped off first, saying: "The snow has stopped."

After Cui Yunhao went down, he saw that the snow had stopped unknowingly. He turned around and handed Chu Yingying his hand, saying, "Be careful, the ground is slippery."

It was colder at night than during the day, so Chu Yingying got out of the car, let out a breath of white air, and said, "Go ahead, Jiang Yi, help Uncle Jia and drive the carriage into the stable."

Jiang Yi immediately agreed: "Okay, the servant girl knows."

Cui Yunhao carried the lantern and led Chu Yingying into the house together.

The ground is covered with a thin layer of snow, and when it is stepped on, it makes a rustling sound, leaving two rows of footprints, which are very close together, just like the two backs carrying each other.

At night, because two pots of charcoal were burning, the room didn't feel so cold. Chu Yingying sat on the couch, playing with a small red clay stove on the table. The silver charcoal in the stove was red, and the stove A jug of wine was warmed over the water.

Chu Yingying was fiddling with the cups next to her when the door opened, and the quietly burning candle trembled slightly. Cui Yunhao came in, and before Chu Yingying could say anything, she closed the door, and the candle light flickered again. Calm was restored.

The room was quiet, Chu Yingying lightly lifted her small chin towards the opposite side, and said, "Sit down."

Cui Yunhao looked at the stove, sat down as he said, and said, "Is it wine?"

"Well," Chu Yingying nodded, and replied: "It was delivered early this morning. I heard that we will not go back to Hangzhou City this year. Grandpa specially sent this year's newly brewed wine to the trustee. It's a big jar. I guess Enough for us to drink for a year."

Every year, Lu Renjia brewed a few large jars of wine by himself. During the holidays, the big guys gathered together and drank a few glasses around the stove. Especially in this cold weather, drinking a glass of warm wine dispelled the cold.

It's been like this every year, and they don't go back this year, but they feel much deserted, thinking of the lively scenes in the past.

Chu Yingying couldn't help showing a bit of nostalgia on her face. When Cui Yunhao saw her, she just thought she wanted to go back to Hangzhou City. Her heart tightened, she pursed her lips, and said slowly: "After the New Year's Eve, I'll see if I can go back to Hangzhou City." Can't ask for leave, let's go back to Hangzhou City."

When Chu Yingying came back to her senses, she immediately understood the meaning of his words, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I just remembered it suddenly."

She said, stretched out her hand to test the water temperature on the stove, and said in her mouth: "You are in the Hanlin Academy now, there will always be some inconveniences, grandpa, uncles and aunts will understand, and when we have a chance in the future, it will be the same when we go back. "

Cui Yunhao nodded. Although his expression didn't seem to change, Chu Yingying still felt that he was much more relaxed, and couldn't help but smile in her heart.

The water temperature was just right and the wine was warmed up. Chu Yingying reached out and took the white porcelain wine jug out of the warm water. The woman's slender fingers set against the white fine porcelain, so delicate and beautiful that it was hard to tell which one was which. It is white porcelain.

Chu Yingying took a clean sackcloth and carefully wiped off the water stains on the jug. After everything was done, she gently rolled up her sleeves and poured the wine into the cup with extremely gentle movements, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

Cui Yunhao just watched quietly, even such actions he did not tire of.

After the wine is warmed up, the aroma of the wine becomes more and more intense. It lingers in the air and gradually spreads to the lungs, giving a sense of smokiness.

Chu Yingying put down the jug and said, "Okay, let's drink."

Cui Yunhao nodded, picked up the wine glass, and felt the warm aroma of the wine all the way to the tip of his nose, soft and mellow.

Chu Yingying held the wine glass and slowly sipped the wine. Since it was brewed in-house, it was not too strong, but had a slight sweetness, making one unable to resist tasting it repeatedly.

At this moment, Chu Yingying heard something, and said to Cui Yunhao, "Listen."

Cui Yunhao listened carefully, the voice was very soft, he put down his wine glass and stood up, walked to the door, gently opened the door, the voice became louder, duk duk duk...

He came to his senses and said to Chu Yingying, "Someone is knocking on the door."

Chu Yingying wondered, "It's so late, who will come?"

Cui Yunhao shook his head and said, "I'll go and have a look."

Chu Yingying stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

"No need," Cui Yunhao said, "It's cold outside, I'll walk faster by myself, you wait for me here."

As he spoke, he went out, closed the door again without a doubt, walked through the snow in the yard, and walked to the front yard.

After walking for a while, Cui Yunhao realized that there was another fluttering snow in the sky. Fortunately, it was not too heavy, and he didn't bother to go back to get an umbrella. Hearing the sound of knocking on the door again, the force had already increased Some, it can be seen that the visitor has no patience.

Cui Yunhao took his time, waited in the front yard, opened the door and saw a strange middle-aged man standing outside, he was slightly taken aback, hesitantly said: "Your Excellency is..."

The middle-aged man immediately brought a smile on his face, and said, "Excuse me, is this the residence of Master Cui Yunhao?"

Cui Yunhao nodded: "Exactly."

The middle-aged man laughed quickly and said, "That's right, I'm here to deliver some things."

Cui Yunhao looked at him, and saw that he was dressed like a servant of some family. This is really a strange thing. It is said that the rich magistrate and the poor Hanlin have never heard of someone coming to a Hanlin's house on a winter night. The one who gave the gift said, "May I ask which family it is from? What kind of gift did you give?"

The servant smiled and reported himself, "I am a servant of the Prince's Mansion."

As soon as Cui Yunhao heard the words "Prince's Mansion", Cui Yunhao's expression changed immediately, his eyes sank, and he said calmly: "Prince's Mansion? I don't seem to have any contact with His Highness the Prince. Is it wrong?"

The servant said: "There is no mistake, there is no mistake, these are all sent by His Highness to give to Miss Chu."

As he spoke, he stood aside, revealing a large pile of gift boxes behind him. The pile was as high as half a person, which made people staggering. It can be seen how big the Prince's Mansion is.

However, Cui Yunhao's face became darker and darker, he even took a step back, and said coldly: "No need, please take these things back with you."

The servant was taken aback, apparently not expecting the situation to develop like this, and couldn't help saying: "Why..."

Cui Yunhao didn't want to listen to him anymore, and even looked at him with disgust, he just said: "I still have something to do at home, so I'm sorry to see you off."

After finishing speaking, he closed the door, and the servant's face was blown by cold wind. He shrank his neck from the cold, and muttered: "What's the strange temper? Others want to curry favor with our prince's house, but they can't curry favor with you. I'm a poor Hanlin!" Pooh!"

After he finished speaking, he angrily beckoned people to take away the pile of presents, and the gate of Cui's house returned to calm.

Hearing those footsteps leaving, Cui Yunhao let out a deep breath and stood behind the door for a long time, until the snow was getting heavier and heavier, then he stepped up and walked forward.

When they got to the backyard, Cui Yunhao saw at a glance that the door was ajar, and the dim candlelight was reflected from the thin crack in the door, which was opened by Yingying on purpose.

He couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, the displeasure just now had already dissipated, Cui Yunhao quickened his pace and entered the door, Chu Yingying was still sitting on the couch, seeing him come back, said: "Why did you go so How long? Who is here?"
