    October 17th is Cheng Xiaoxuan¡¯s birthday, and October 18th is Mu Xiuyuan¡¯s birthday.

    The old Marquis has passed away, and the juniors haven¡¯t had fun together for a long time.  It happened that the two birthdays were only one day apart. Taking advantage of Cheng Xiaoxuan's temporary stay in Mu Mansion, Mu Xiuyuan suggested that they spend the seventeenth day together. There was no need to serve drinks separately. It was just a good time to invite the brothers and sisters at home to get together.  .  Cheng Xiaoxuan was young and had a lively temperament. He clapped his hands in agreement and went to personally beg Mr. Xiao to settle the matter and exempt them from two days of classes.

    After October, winter begins.  On the 17th, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. This was the first snowfall in Beijing this year.

    The Chenxi Pavilion is only occupied by Mu Xiangqing's mother and son, and it is Mu Xiangqing's boudoir before leaving the pavilion. The place to celebrate her birthday is Mu Xiuyuan's Lanbo Pavilion.

    Hua Xi had never attended such a gathering of the younger generation in the family. She didn¡¯t know when it was appropriate to go, so she sent someone to ask Mu Yunyi when she would be there. She followed her carefully to avoid being rude if she went late.

    As soon as noon passed, Huaxi took the gift and went to Lanbo Pavilion.

    There is a thin layer of snow on the branches of the trees beside the road and on the ground. You will slip if you are not careful when walking on the bluestone road.

    Huaxi changed out of her plain clothes and put on a light blue lily-embroidered satin cotton jacket and a light yellow suede hooded cloak. She did not wear the brocade cotton shoes custom-made for girls by the government on her feet.  The thick-soled khaki cloth-covered short-waisted boots made by Shuangliu¡¯s mother have a green twig pattern casually outlined in cross-stitch around the edges. The waist and collar of the shoes are padded with a layer of wool, which is warm and practical.  It's just the right outfit for this weather.

    When they were about to reach Lanbo Pavilion, Huaxi met Mu Yunyi who was walking cautiously.  After saying hello, they led each other into the inner hall.  Mu Xiuyuan had not returned from Longcuiyuan, so the two of them went to Manipeng and sat in the hall drinking tea.

    Within a moment, Mu Xiuyuan came back in a hurry, changed his clothes and then arrived in the hall.

    "I was just called by dad to give me some instructions. Fourth sister and sister Xi have been waiting for a long time."

    After bowing, Huaxi handed a brown silk bag to Mu Xiuyuan, "Tomorrow is the third brother's birthday. Huaxi is here to wish third brother a happy birthday in advance and all the best in the coming year. These are two things Huaxi made by himself  Gadgets for the winter, given to Third Brother to show my appreciation."

    "Thank you, sister." Xiu Yuan smiled and took the cloth bag, opened it and saw that two large oval objects made of dark green brocade on the palms were connected with a black ribbon. I wonder what they were?  The other two pieces are a bit weird-looking navy blue cotton hand bags, similar in appearance, with half of a pair of five fingers missing.

    He hesitated for a moment and asked: "How to use these three things?"

    Hua Xi explained to Mu Xiuyuan: "These are gloves. The full-finger ones are worn when going out in winter to keep your hands warm. The half-finger ones are thinner and can be used when writing indoors. This pair of dark green ones are called warm ears, as the name suggests.  It's for ear protection. Third brother walks around a lot outside, so he uses this to protect his ears from the wind in winter to avoid freezing."

    Mu Xiuyuan looked at the tall and straight bamboo clumps embroidered with silk threads of the same color on the ear-warming satin. His eyes lit up, and he reached out and turned it over. It was trimmed with silver-gray mink fur and felt warm just by looking at it.  Putting it down casually, he picked up the gloves again. Although they were made of ribbed cloth, they were padded with a layer of rabbit velvet which was very soft, and the corners had fine stitching and were very strong.  I put it on my hand and tried it with my fist. It is flexible and light. The most important thing is that it feels warm and comfortable when wearing it.

    With a feeling of warmth in his heart, Mu Xiuyuan raised his head and bowed in thanks, "My sister's gift is exactly what I wanted."

    Hua Xifushen returned the greeting, "Third brother, you're welcome."

    Mu Yunyi pursed her lips and smiled, teasingly: "Hua Xi is so partial. She only wants to give such good things to her third brother, why doesn't she have the share of my sister?"

    Mu Xiuyuan's face was slightly red, and he carefully wrapped the things Huaxi gave him, and glared at his sister. Mu Yunyi just pretended not to notice, and the smile on her lips did not diminish.

    Huaxi turned sideways and didn't see Xiu Yuan and Yunyi's little movements. Hearing Yunyi's question, he hurriedly said: "I was busy preparing birthday gifts for Third Brother and Xuan Brother a few days ago. When I get back today, I will help my sister do it."  good?"

    Yunyi waved her hand, "Come on, I was just joking. I just saw it clearly, it seems like it is not a difficult job. I have no use for gloves, but this ear warmer is good, I can just let the maids do it later."

    Hua Xi suggested: "It can be made into a peach heart shape. It will look better on my sister."

    "Well, yes."

    Seeing that the two of them were getting excited about chatting, Mu Xiuyuan interrupted: "It will probably take a while for the others to come. There is a storm in the hall, why don't you two go sit in the East Room for a while."

    Yunyi took Huaxi's hand and said, "Let's go. There is a heated kang in the east room. If we sit here and wait, we might as well go to the kang. Drinking tea and chatting is much more comfortable than here."

    Huaxi and Yunyi followed Xiuyuan to Dongcijian.  XiuyuanAfter sitting for a while, fearing that the two of them would be restrained, they found an excuse and went out to greet the guests.  After they left, Yun Yi took Hua Xi to take off her shoes and get on the kang.

    "Hey, these shoes of yours" Yun Yi watched Hua Xi take off her shoes, and her eyes were immediately attracted by the short boots on the soles of her feet.

    Hua Xi said: "It snows in winter, and the satin embroidered shoes will get wet after walking in the snow for a while, and they will feel cold and uncomfortable when the wind blows. The leather ones can withstand it better, but the snow will turn into dirt and the leather will not look good. I don't like it at all.  Wear thick socks, so I asked Mother Liu to make two pairs of short boots before she left. One layer of ribbed cloth, one layer of fine cotton and one layer of thick wool. They are warm but not easy to get wet, and your feet will not feel cold after walking around for a while."

    Yun Yi nodded in agreement: "You're right. It's rare to go out for a walk in the snow to see the scenery. After walking for a long time, your shoes will be wet when you return to the house, which is uncomfortable."

    Turning to look at Hua Xi, "I'll ask the maid to make a pair tomorrow. You are such a careful and thoughtful girl, I don't know who will be lucky enough to marry you in the future."

    "Well, why don't you bother me." Huaxi gave Yunyi a look, "When my sister gets married tomorrow, I will definitely prepare a box with two big red peonies for you, and let my brother-in-law accompany you to step on the snow."

    Yun Yi was embarrassed, "You're such a sharp-tongued girlsee how I deal with you!" She pounced on Hua Xi and scratched Hua Xi's waist and eyes.

    Huaxi was ticklish, giggling and begging for mercy.  The two of them twisted into a ball on the kang, laughing until Hua Xixi burst into tears before Yunyi let her go.

    The two of them sat back down.

    Hua Xi patted her chest, her lips were rosy and her eyes were full of water. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Her lips were slightly open and she was breathing, and her lips were as moist as a peach.

    Even Yunyi, who was looking at her from the side, couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a smile: "My sister is a little fatter now, and she is more and more beautiful. Even my sister has hot eyes, haha!"

    ¡°Sister¡ª¡ª¡± Hua Xi whispered.

    Yun Yi ignored her, suddenly raised her lips, and asked in the direction of the door: "Hey, Third Brother, Brother Xuan, am I right?"

    Hua Xi was startled and looked back, only to find that Mu Xiuyuan had opened the curtains at some point and Cheng Xiaoxuan and Mu Yunlin were standing at the door.

    Mu Xiuyuan suppressed the surprise in his heart and turned his face away in embarrassment. From the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but glance at the light blue figure on the kang inside.

    Cheng Xiaoxuan didn't know whether it was because of the wind or because he was shy, but his face was red. He didn't answer Yunyi's questions, he just stared at Huaxi and nodded calmly.

    When Mu Yunlin next to her saw this scene, her eyes were on fire and she coughed twice before calling back the two distracted teenagers.
