The heavy snow fluttering outside the Yongshou Palace fell on the ground almost in the blink of an eye.

As soon as he saw that the snow was falling outside, Su Peisheng hurriedly called the little eunuchs to sweep it. A few little eunuchs wrapped up like cotton monkeys and trotted out with a big broom, sweeping the snow brushes on the road in front of and behind the Heart Cultivation Palace. When they came back shivering, they were all so cold that they couldn't even speak.

A leader came over and kowtowed to Su Peisheng, stammering and couldn't even speak.

Su Peisheng said angrily: "Hurry up and go back to warm up, don't really freeze out." The New Year's Day is a bad luck! ”

The big eunuch who was sitting on the fire in the house, drinking tea and knocking melon seeds, saw that the little eunuchs had returned, and blocked the door to prevent them from entering: "They all beat the snow on their bodies, and when they come in, won't the snow melt on their cotton jackets?" Silly! ”

The little eunuchs had no choice but to jump and stomp their feet outside the house, slapping the snow on each other's bodies.

The great eunuch in the house looked at the day and made fun of them: "I see that you should not come in either, but go with a broom." ”

Immediately, another layer fell on the outside.

Zhang Desheng stood beside Su Peisheng and said worriedly: "Master, I don't think this is good." Why don't you have someone sprinkle the salt again? ”

Su Peisheng frowned and said, "Go quickly, let them sprinkle it again." ”

Zhang Desheng agreed, Su Peisheng looked at the snow that was still falling this day, exhaled a puff of white smoke and sighed: "This snow is really strong this year." ”

The Yongshou Palace is very lively. The ladies of the various clans who entered the palace to ask for peace were gathering in a pile of seven or eight people to chat, laugh and eat snacks, and Li Wei held the celebration of the New Year in the form of a tea party, the advantage of this is that she does not have to accompany her outside all the time, and she can go to the house early to rest.

Leaning on the couch in the back room, holding Momofuku in his arms, and lying at her feet, this is much more comfortable than a stove.

Ma Jia's family is accompanied outside, and she can solve the two things in general, and no one will find fault in the Yongshou Palace.

Li Wei stroked the long hair of Baifu in her arms, and the little guy slept sweetly, exactly like Hongyu in the bed.

It's a comfortable day.

The front hall is lively with them, and she steals half a day of leisure.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of brushing outside, and she asked the jade bottle: "Is this sweeping the floor again?" ”

The jade bottle hooked his head and looked outside, went out to ask someone, and came back and said: "It's the little eunuchs of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the padded jackets on the poor body are wet." ”

The fourth master doesn't like snow this year, and the more the snow falls, the darker his face becomes. Therefore, the palace has been clearing the snow diligently recently, and even the eaves have to be cleaned.

Li Wei sat up straight and said to her: "Send them a hot drink, and sprinkle more salt on the palace road in front of our palace." ”

The jade bottle agreed, put on a cloak and a hat before daring to go out. She called for someone to bring out the hot butter tea from the house, and then picked up a stack of bowls, and went out to shout at the little eunuchs: "Come and drink a bowl!" ”

Seven and eight little eunuchs hurriedly ran over, standing there and stomping their feet to keep warm, reaching out to take the butter tea that had just been lifted from the stove and sending it to their mouths, so frightened that the jade bottle hurriedly ordered: "Hot!" Blow and drink again! ”

The little eunuchs drank this hot butter tea, added a little hot exhalation to their bodies, and were able to speak, so they said: "Thank you sister for loving us, this is not hot, it is just right to drink!" Warm! ”

The jade bottle took his bowl and filled it for him, and said, "Drink, our master sees that you have to work hard outside this day, and you don't need to sweep it after drinking and spilling the salt after a while." ”

The pumpkin-sized copper kettle, a pot full of butter tea made this group of little eunuchs drink cleanly, all of them poured into their stomachs as if there was no shop in this village, and the jade bottles wanted to laugh, afraid that they would drink too much soup and water and not be good on an errand, so after drinking this pot, they asked people to take two plates of freshly made tsamba, and one person took two or three to go back to eat.

The sacks of coarse salt were also brought out, and the little eunuchs carried the sacks and sprinkled salt without her, spilling almost every inch of the front of the Yongshou Palace.

The jade bottle asked them to sprinkle a little bit into the distance, otherwise half of the entire palace road would not fall with snow, and half of the snow would not look good.

The two of the little eunuchs were spilling salt in their pockets, and a big eunuch came to see them work, and when they saw that the brooms were all set aside, they were about to start scolding, and they saw a jade bottle wearing a cloak and a hat. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, she was accompanied by a eunuch who helped her with an umbrella to cover the snow, so she knew that this must be the big palace maid next to her master.

The big palace maid of Yongshou Palace, the big eunuch didn't dare to take it, so she hurriedly came over and asked Andao: "Say hello to my aunt, my aunt will have a good New Year." ”

The jade bottle is a blessing: "Good luck, are you busy?" ”

The big eunuchs, at this time, the little eunuchs were a little scared, and some of them threw the salt and went to get the broom.

The jade bottle raised his chin and compared it to these little eunuchs, and said with a smile: "Our master heard the sound of them sweeping the floor, thinking that it was really hard to work on such a cold day, so he asked me to bring them something to eat." ”

The big eunuch hurriedly said: "The concubine is kind, and the little one kowtows to the concubine on their behalf." As he spoke, he knelt down.

The jade bottle held it up and said with a smile: "You can be exempted." Our master said that this kind of sky sweep is also a white sweep, so it is better to sprinkle more salt and not accumulate snow. It also saves this group of children from freezing out again. ”

The big eunuch said yes again and again, waved his hand and said to the group of little eunuchs who had been standing stupidly since just now: "Didn't you hear what my aunt said? Why don't you go sprinkle salt? You're lucky, and brothers like you are still sweeping elsewhere. ”

The little eunuchs were overjoyed at this time, I couldn't believe that you pulled me, and I pulled you to sprinkle salt, but they still didn't dare to go to the big eunuch's side.

Seeing that there was nothing for her here, Jade Bottle planned to go back first, saving herself from eating snow here.

She curtled her knees: "I'm tired of you, so are you busy?" ”

The big eunuch hurriedly stretched out his hand, lowered his head and whispered: "The slave has also been helped by Master Li before, and he doesn't dare to be the thank you of Aunt Jade Bottle." ”

The jade bottle was stunned, and carefully looked at this big eunuch who looked like he was in his thirties, and he was vaguely familiar with it.

The big eunuch lowered his voice: "The slave is Yuyan's godbrother." ”

Hey, really.

Now the jade bottle remembered that this eunuch was the rough eunuch in the courtyard of the fourth master in the elder brother's office.

The jade bottle was stunned and didn't know whether to recognize his relatives or not, and he didn't know what this person's plan was to lean over at this time, so he said vaguely: "Oh, you don't know yet, right?" Yuyan went home to get married before she entered the palace, and she told me about you, and she kept thinking about you, but she couldn't come in to see you, you wait, she put some silver with me and left it for you. ”

Yuyan did remember this godbrother, and he did mention a sentence or two to the jade bottle, but the silver was nothing.

The big eunuch waved his hand and said, "I don't dare to take my sister's silver." The little one is now on an errand in the Heart Cultivation Palace, although he is still a rough man, but he is also in charge of one or two hundred people. There is no shortage of silver, I don't care about sending things to my sister's happy events, how can I ask her again? After two days, I brought the red envelope for my godsister, and asked Sister Yuhua to give it to my godsister on my behalf. ”

He took a bite to kill his sister, and the jade bottle understood that this person was indeed planning to come to Yongshou Palace.

She smiled: "It's her heart that she gives you, and what you give to her is yours, and you can't mix it together." Then he asked the eunuch with the umbrella to go back and fetch fifty taels of silver.

The big eunuch took the umbrella and held it for the jade bottle, and put it very low, and when the eunuch took the silver back, the jade bottle was handed to him, and he no longer shirked, and after receiving it in his arms, he gave a salute and retreated.

Back in the courtyard, the jade bottle first went to the tea room to take off the clothes and hats, stomped his feet and said, "Freeze me to death!" ”

Yuzhan hurriedly got up and made way of taking a seat: "Sit here and bake, and put your feet on the stove." As he spoke, he took a towel and came over to snow the jade bottle. I saw that a few strands of her hair were soaked with snow, and most of the hems of her robe were wet.

Yuzhan said: "You have to change your body." She hurriedly lifted the curtain and went out, and returned with a bag of clothes.

The jade bottle said as she changed, "You don't know, do you? I just ran into that godbrother of Yuyan outside. ”

Yuzhan put her on the couch and was taken aback when she heard her: "Did you really run into him?" What is he doing now? ”

As soon as the jade bottle said this, the jade cup exclaimed: "It's really a mountain that doesn't turn around, and it's only been a long time before I ran into it again." ”

The jade bottle changed her clothes and sat down, untied her hair and combed it again, and said, "Where?" Let's come back this time, Father-in-law Su is using the idea that it is better to use raw than familiar, and we are all familiar with it. Only then did he dig out Yuyan's godbrother again. He is now the rough little eunuch in charge of the West Sixth Palace, sweeping the floor, sprinkling water and carrying firewood. ”

Yuzhan came over to help her with the oil and said, "That's a character." ”

"Not really." The jade bottle turned to the jade cup and said, "You don't know, I saw such a big jade pendant hanging from his waist." She circled her fingers and gestured, "It's not small, I look at the condition well, and it's worth one or two hundred taels of silver if you put it outside." ”

Yuzhan smiled: "This is called a person to attain the Tao, and the chicken dog ascends to heaven." ”

The jade bottle slapped her and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

The two laughed, and Yuzhan said, "Didn't you say that Yuyan will come back soon?" When she has more godbrothers, we can have more ways here. ”

The jade bottle nodded and whispered: "I see that the master is planning to let Ma Jia's family go back." ”

Yuzhan snorted lightly and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?" She didn't wait well? ”

The jade bottle shook her head and said: "She is waiting for a good person, but you think that her man is the manager, her son is by the side of our second elder brother, and she will be in the Yongshou Palace, so it is inevitable that she will not be a big bully." The master thought that it was good to get together and disperse, and after this year's fulfillment, he let her go. I've been asked to prepare a gift for her these days. ”

Yuzhan thought about it carefully, and then she was relieved, as long as she didn't commit an accident and was taken away. If something goes wrong with the master's close people, it will be a big deal.

She said: "It's still the master's thoughtfulness, and it should be like this." ”

The jade bottle looked at the snow outside the window, and said relaxedly: "This year is finally coming to an end, it's best to be safe and sound, and nothing will happen." ”

At night, hundreds of bunches of fireworks were set off in front of the Qianqing Palace, lighting up half of the sky.

The people of each palace came out to watch the fireworks at this time, and the palace roads were full of palace maids and eunuchs. In the garden in front of Yongshou Palace, Li Wei was wrapped in a thick cloak and wore a hood, and the fireworks in the sky exploded one by one, attracting bursts of cheers from everyone.

This year has finally passed peacefully.

She couldn't help but say in her heart, God blessed.

Although something happened this year, it didn't cause much trouble, and it was finally cleaned up. The concubines of the East Sixth Palace are all honest, and the Queen Mother seems to be softer during the New Year. It's really good that the purse is not the handiwork of Changchun Palace.

On the fourth master's side, the thirteenth master came back and had a lot of peace.

The more Li Wei thought about it, the more she felt lucky this year, and after sending off the guests, she said to the jade bottle that everyone would add vegetables every day during the Chinese New Year. The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace can't eat enough, and they are afraid that when they wait for the master, they will have to pull and urinate, and it will be unsightly. But whenever there is a dish to enjoy, it must be eaten, and it is disrespectful not to finish it.

Li Wei knew that she would often appreciate the food in the future, and one reward would be a share for everyone in the Yongshou Palace.

The jade bottle smiled and blessed: "The slave and maid thanked the master for his grace on behalf of everyone." "Who wants to go hungry if they have enough to eat? When I was in the house, the rules I learned in the palace were rusty, and I didn't get used to it when I came back. Several times, she and Yuzhan hid in the tea room to eat snacks, and they couldn't even sleep when they were hungry.

Yuzhan came in at this time and said, "Master, Zhang Desheng is here." ”

Li Wei has already packed up here, asked him to come in and say a few words, and he can leave with a purse.

I entered the Heart Cultivation Hall but didn't see the fourth master, and it was half past eight when the guests had finished. The eunuchs in the fifth room in the east prepared tea and snacks, and Zhang Desheng came over to ask her if she wanted to have supper.

Li Wei took off her padded jacket and changed into a jacket, and said, "I don't need it, long live is still ahead?" ”

Zhang Desheng shrunk his neck as if he was frightened, bowed his head and said, "Yes, Long live Lord has been talking to the adults in front." ”

Li Wei saw that his situation was wrong, and after scanning his eyes, he found that the eunuchs standing and waiting in the five eastern rooms were all like frightened quails.

Is this the fourth master angry again? It's a good day for the New Year, how can you get angry at such a time?

The ancients were the most superstitious, and they should be happy during the New Year. The palace pays special attention to this, and even the imperial doctor can't be invited when he is sick.

She sat in the room for a while, and it was a little frighteningly quiet.

About a moment later, the fourth master returned.

He was dressed up by her today, in addition to the dragon robe he wore when he went to the Qianqing Palace, he changed into this regular dress when he went to the Taihe Palace to hold a New Year's banquet.

It is also very grand to say that it is a regular dress.

The thick indigo silk material is embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, decorated with auspicious clouds, and the cuffs and corners of the robe have water patterns.

In addition, his braids were also combed and smooth, and his hair was oiled so that it was not messy at all, and it was still shiny in the candlelight. He walked around all day and changed his clothes, and his braids were not messy.

Li Wei said in her heart that the skill of this combing eunuch is really ancestral. She didn't believe it when she heard Zhao Quanbao talk about it that day, but it turned out that there was one in the Heart Cultivation Palace. I don't know where Su Peisheng dug it up.

She put down the playbook and got up to greet her, and everyone else in the room knelt neatly.

The fourth master strode in, without a smile on his face, and when he saw her, he only bowed slightly and went into the back room to change clothes. Su Peisheng and the others behind her also hurriedly followed, and she saw that almost everyone even Su Peisheng seemed to be a little out of her body.

Li Wei had only been standing outside for a while, when she heard a muffled bang inside, and followed Su Peisheng in a low voice: "Don't get out yet." ”

A little eunuch crawled out of it and knelt in the snow outside.

The fourth master didn't make a sound, but he couldn't even hear the sound of panting in the room.

Li Wei thought about it for a while, but still lifted the curtain and went in.

The fourth master had already taken off his clothes and stood there washing his hands in only single clothes. She went over and took the towel from the little eunuch's hand and unfolded it, and the fourth master put his hand in the towel for her to wrap and wipe.

Su Peisheng quietly motioned for the little eunuchs waiting on the side to stand far away, and only gave the concubine a hand.

After wiping his hands and washing his face, rinsing his mouth again, and sitting down to soak his feet and comb his hair, the anger on the fourth master's body had already disappeared. Li Wei stood behind him and gave him a head for a while, and found that the hair on his neck was wet, it must not be that someone sprinkled water on his head, nor was it drenched in snow without a hat, but ...... He's sweating?

Got your hair soaked?

She quietly instructed a little eunuch to fetch a large towel that was a little hot.

The little eunuch used the soup woman to bake a whole large towel until it was hot, and the soup woman was still holding it in the towel before coming.

She took it and covered it on the back of the fourth master's head, and heard him breathe a long sigh of relief, as if it was very comfortable.

She just covered him and pressed the acupuncture points on his head, and when the towel was not hot, she would change it again.

Su Peisheng was stunned, where did the concubine come up with this idea? After making up my mind, I will wait for long live like this, it is so cold, I can't catch a cold on my head.

Seeing that Banzai was about to be dozed off by the concubine.

The fourth master's eyes were almost closed, and he leaned directly into Li Wei's arms, and his breathing became more and more gentle and long. Li Wei gave Su Peisheng a look and asked him to take everyone out.

Su Peisheng quietly beat a thousand children, and let everyone go out quietly.

At this time, the curtain of the door was lifted, and a eunuch probe came in and squeezed his eyebrows at Su Peisheng. Su Peisheng went over and listened to a few words from him, and his brows furrowed.

Li Wei saw it, Su Peisheng hesitated and came over and said softly to the fourth master: "Long live the lord, Prince Yi is outside." ”

The fourth master hummed lightly, I don't know if he heard it or not.

Everyone in the room was waiting for him, but Li Wei's hand didn't dare to stop.

After a while, the fourth master said: "Go and ask him, if you come to intercede for Jiang Chenxi, go back, I don't have time to listen to him." ”

Li Wei chuckled in her heart. Thirteen masters? Who is this Jiang Chenxi? What did you do again?

After Su Peisheng went out, the fourth master let out a long sigh, pulled her hand down and said, "You don't need to press it, your fingers are sore, right?" He pulled the hot towel off his head, rolled over and sat up, and suddenly said, "...... In this peaceful and prosperous world, I am just deceiving myself. ”

Luckily, there's no one else in the house!

Li Wei was so frightened by his words that her heart jumped wildly, and her first reaction was that no palace maid and eunuch heard it in the house.

She went to shake his hand.

The fourth master held her, but there was not much strength between his fingers, as if he was too weak to hold it.
