Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent!

Chapter 1260: Chapter 1260: Knocking

The winter snow has been plentiful this year, thankfully not reaching disaster levels, but instead satisfying the snow lovers, resulting in no small number of snowscape poems and verses.

Zhulan could not truly enjoy these poems, but she did feel some sentiment regarding the convenience of snow clearing in the capital. After the roads had been improved, clearing the snow became easier, and the muddiness that came with the melting snow in spring was avoided. Merely thinking about it made her heartache, as in previous years when spring thawed the ice, she tried to avoid going out, as mud was everywhere.

This morning, snowflakes began to drift down. Zhulan didn’t plan on studying anymore and decided to refresh her mind with the children, taking out dried flower petals of various colors that had been picked in summer. She brought a few granddaughters to crush them and produce some color.

Her grandsons took basins outside with a young servant to smash ice blocks.

By the time Zhulan was ready, the ice blocks had already been carved. She, along with her granddaughters, began to pour colors over them, having a delightful time with the children.

Qing Xue led a woman in while they were playing. When Zhulan saw the visitor, she recognized her as the wife of a younger family member, Ming Shan, from her clan, who had passed the civil examinations and stayed in the capital, often interacting with the Zhou family. Thus, Zhulan had become familiar with Ming Shan’s family.

Zhulan stood up and greeted her with a smile, “Such a cold day to go out, why didn’t you wear more?”

Ming Shan’s wife, Mrs. Wang, her face pale from the cold, drew her cloak tighter and said quietly, “I was in a hurry to leave and didn’t pay attention.”
