In the year 297 of the Caiqiu Calendar, on the eighth day of October, during the daytime
Lin Chu County City, west side of the Governor Mansion, guest residence wing.
The biting ice wind made the trees in the courtyard sway back and forth;
The piercing cold light mercilessly shone down, with frost on the roof and exterior walls continuously solidifying into ice sheets;
A row of icicles hanging from the eaves, although not as exaggerated as the ice plains outside the city, reaching ten meters, were still over one meter long; the irregularly flying and rotating snowflakes in mid-air seemed to tell a story of unrest and unease.
Fortunately, each room in the guest wing had a coal stove, the misty high-temperature air currents melted most of the snowflakes before they could touch the ground, plus the continuous tending and sweeping by the servants, no snow accumulation was formed.
"Ding ding ding... ding..."
