I won’t go into details about everyone’s reaction after receiving Lan Xi’s letter.

Time passed by in a flash, and when the capital was covered with heavy snow, the new year arrived.

"The auspicious snow heralds a good year. The snow has fallen just right. It can be covered with a layer of snow and is not too big." Lan Xi climbed up the window and said to Song Lanzhang next to her.

"It's windy outside the window, put on your fur!"

Song Lanzhang took the white fox fur that Lan Xi had taken off when playing around from Luluo, spread it out, shook it gently, and put it on for her.

Lan Xi stood obediently and let him tie her belt while talking to Song Lanjiu who was playing chess with her second sister.

"Third brother, why don't we go build a snowman later?"

Song Lanjiu was so annoyed by the chess game that he almost crushed the chess pieces. Hearing this, he immediately found an excuse for relief. He immediately dropped the chess pieces in his hand and ran to the door as if running for his life.

"Great, let's go, let's go now!"

"Come back here, you haven't finished playing yet!" Song Lan Shumei stared.

What does it mean to run away in the middle of a chess game?

"No, no, my dear second sister, just let me go. You know I am the most impatient to play with this." Song Lanjiu asked for mercy.

You must know that he had made up his mind never to play chess with his brother and sister again. Unfortunately, Lan Xi could run but he couldn't. In the end, he couldn't twist his thigh with his arms and was dragged onto the chess table by these two unscrupulous people.

.

Lan Xi understood his situation deeply and ran out of the door with him.

"Big brother and second sister, this is the first heavy snowfall this winter. Let's play for a while. You guys should come too. Otherwise, let Cousin Jiang play chess with you."

Everyone's eyes followed Lan Xi's words and looked at Jiang Yan, who was sitting quietly by the fire.

"Yan'er, do you want to build a snowman with Xi'er, Jiu'er and the others?" Song Lanshu asked him.

Jiang Yan shook his head gently: "Cousin Shu, I'll play chess with you."

With that said, he sat down in the seat in front of Song Lanjiu and picked up a chess piece.

In this case, Jiang Yan and Song Lanshu stayed in the house to play chess. Lan Xi and Song Lanjiu followed Song Lanjiu in the courtyard to gather snow and make a snowman. Song Lanzhang was worried that the two troublemakers were being careless, so he had no choice but to follow them out.

Song Lanshu dropped a child and chatted with Jiang Yan, who was sitting across from him.

"Yan'er, did uncle tell you how to arrange your schoolwork next year?"

During this period, although my uncle has been taking his cousin to study, it is not a long-term solution after all. He still has to find a teacher to teach him.

"What my father means is that now that the new year has come, it is not a good time to hire a teacher. After next spring, he will find a teacher for me."

Jiang Yan's hands didn't stop for a moment. As early as when his father informed him of this decision, he had already thought about how to respond to other people's inquiries.

Song Lanshu glanced at him and thought, in fact, her mother had discussed this matter with her a few days ago.

My father and mother meant that if my uncle's family would not return to Jiangnan for a while, it would be better to let the three Song, Liu, and Jiang families run a school together and send their children there together, so that they could be companions at that time.

I don't know if her parents had discussed this matter with her aunt and uncle, but Song Lanshu didn't disclose it to Jiang Yan in advance, lest he would be overjoyed in vain.

It's just... Yan'er should be happy about this, right?

Seeing Jiang Yan staring at the chessboard with a particularly serious face, Song Lanshu was a little unsure.

Jiang Yan noticed Song Lanshu's gaze, recalled his performance just now, and after making sure that he was not doing anything rude, asked:

"Cousin Shu, what did I do wrong?"

Song Lanshu looked away, with a smile in the beauty's face: "You play very well. Compared with Jiu'er, that stinky chess player, playing chess with you is much more enjoyable."

Jiang Yan's lips curved slightly after receiving the compliment, and he said modestly: "My chess skills are average, so I can only try my best to compete with my cousin."

Song Lanshu was about to persuade him not to belittle himself, but he added: "But compared with cousin Jiu, I am indeed much better than him."

Song Lanshu didn't catch the words for a moment. She originally thought Jiang Yan was making fun of Song Lanjiu, but she saw that his expression was serious and serious, and it didn't look like he was joking.

Helpless, she could only say a few words of praise for her brother.

"This... you are right to say that. Jiu'er is really concentrating on martial arts and has not studied much in this field."

Song Lanjiu has never liked such elegant things. At best, she can hold a fan and show off for a few days, but she is still very determined and perseverant in the things that interest her.

It can only be said that a ruler is short and an inch is long. Everyone has their own strengths.

Jiang Yan looked out the window at the tall but tall young man and nodded in agreement.

"Cousin Jiu is indeed expert in martial arts, Yan'er is not as good as him."

Song Lanshu wanted to say something more, but saw that the other party was already immersed in the chess game, so he swallowed his words again.

She found that the other person seemed to always have something to say when speaking. Although he was modest, he never denied his own excellence or shortcomings.

Song Lanshu couldn't help but hold up a handkerchief and put it to her lips. The curvature of the corners of her mouth betrayed her master's mood.

This Jiang family cousin’s temperament is really interesting!

There was a lot of snow outside. With the cooperation of Lan Xi and her two brothers, a small snowman was built in just a short time.

"Second sister, cousin, come out quickly, we have finished building the snowman!"

Lan Xi ran to the window and shouted to the two people playing chess inside.

It just so happened that the outcome of the chess game between the two of them was already clear. If it continued, Jiang Yan would definitely lose. Song Lanshu threw the chess pieces into the chess case and invited: "I can't sit still after hearing the sound of their play. Why don't we go out and have a look too?"

?”

She had already made it clear that she wanted to leave. Although Jiang Yan was determined to finish the chess game, he would not strongly oppose her opinion.

The two of them got up from the low couch and each put on their own cloaks and cloaks held by the maid and servant - the outside was not as warm as the fire indoors, so dressing warmly was the most important thing.

The snowman was very crudely made, and even looked a bit ugly to Song Lanshu, who was accustomed to exquisite things.

But the strange thing is that if she looks closely at the snowman made of three balls, she feels that it actually has a unique and naive feeling.

Song Lanshu has never seen the power of cartoon characters and Q-version cute things, so he can only evaluate this ugly snowman from the truest feelings in his heart.

"Who made this? It's really easy. There are only three balls in the whole body."

Lan Xi also felt that it was a bit rough, but this did not hinder her good mood.

"The roundest head was made by me, and the two round bellies were made by my eldest brother and my third brother."
