The house was burned with fine silver frost charcoal, and it was warm. There is orange peel in the charcoal pot, which exudes a fragrance.

Outside was a thick and silent snow, dripping into ice. Therefore, such warmth and leisure are more and more rare, and when Master Shen Si walked out refreshed, he saw his wife and children, full of happiness.

"Brother Rong is not here?" Fourth Master Shen asked casually.

"He was picked up by his father, and he must have gone to the snow." Mrs. Shen said lightly.

Fourth Master Shen nodded, indicating that he understood.

Old Man Chen arrived a few days earlier than Emperor Qinglong, and directly lived in the Shen Mansion that Master Shen Si had just bought for a little rest. The old man is not very busy, it seems that it is not because of official business, and after arriving in the Shen Mansion, he is rarely busy with official business, and he looks idle.

Chen Houwen rushed over from the capital.

When the old man heard his intention, he really took him with him as an entourage, and even changed his clothes into the style of an entourage, so that he was unceremonious. In contrast, the old man is much more kind to Shen Duanrong, in addition to instructing him in his schoolwork, he also likes to lead him out.

This graceful thing of stepping on the snow is not the first time.

"It's snowing so hard outside that we can't see it in the south." Master Shen Si casually chatted: "When I came back, the snow on the road had already covered my ankles. The ice on the water outside was already half a foot thick, and it was difficult to chisel through it. Fortunately, the well will not be sealed, otherwise it will be difficult to get water. ”

"When the weather is fine and I'm free, I can also accompany you out for a walk."

"The mountains are covered in silver, and the whole world is white. Definitely a rare sight in the south......"

Now Mrs. Shen Si will answer the necessary questions of Master Shen Si, but she still doesn't respond much when she talks. Fortunately, Shen Si has been used to it for so many years, and a person can still talk with great interest. What's more, he still has such a daughter as a supporter, and he will definitely not feel embarrassed and lonely.

After talking for a while, he asked people to cook some plum wine, gave Mrs. Shen Si a cup, looked at her pretty face that was flushed after using it, and drank the small half bottle beautifully. The plum wine was in the stomach, and the blood was surging. The whole body is more and more comfortable.

The light soon darkened.

Because there is snow. The night was a little gray, and the heavens and the earth were very quiet. Occasionally, you can only hear the slight fluttering sound of snow falling.

Old Man Chen led the two juniors back too late, so he went straight to rest and didn't come over.

Next. The sky is clear.

Fourth Master Shen had taken a day off before. Wake up early now. After some activities, he was smiling and trying to build a snowman for his little daughter to play. There were a lot of birds in the trees, jumping around non-stop. Seems to be looking for something to eat.

"Ah Xiang, do you think Daddy is stacked well?" Fourth Master Shen asked Shen Rou.

"Good!" Shen Rou was wrapped in a bright red fur coat, and she was not too cold, clapping her hands and jumping up, applauding loudly.

"Go and pull your mother out to see!" Fourth Master Shen said happily.

He himself rolled three snowballs, one large and two slightly smaller, piled them together, put them on his eyes and nose, folded out a red hat out of hard red paper, and made a scarf of red cloth...... Hanxi is cute, and it makes people happy when they look at it.

Shen Rouyuan obeyed the order and went back to the house with her short legs. Not long after, Shen Si heard the movement, looked at the door, and saw his wife holding his little daughter wrapped in a lilac fur coat. is so delicate and moving, just like back then, as if the years have not left any traces on her face. No matter how long he watched it, Master Shen still felt that he couldn't see enough.

But Mrs. Shen Si only glanced at Shen Si and his snowman, and her gaze crossed over to them, and she threw herself far forward, her pretty face frozen, as if she was dyed with frost. Not only her, but Xiao Ah Yan also looked into the distance, with some novelty and doubt in her childish eyes.

Master Shen finally felt that something was wrong, and followed the eyes of the mother and daughter to the gate of the courtyard.

At this look, he couldn't help but tremble, his complexion changed greatly, he walked a few steps in a row, knelt in front of the first person, and said in a deep voice: "Minister Shen Chongyan see Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Qinglong is actually here!

He was dressed in dark casual clothes, but he was standing in front of the door of the inner house where he lived, but he was stepping on a pair of boots embroidered with dragon patterns! The dragon pattern on those boots was so cold and arrogant that it forced Shen Si to take his eyes off!

But the fourth master Shen knelt on the frozen cold wooden floor in front of Emperor Qinglong, but he stopped Emperor Qinglong outside, blocking his way into this small courtyard!

Fourth Master Shen didn't have to look up to know that the world's supreme in front of him was staring at his wife. His mind was blank, and his heart was cold, cold.

There was silence for a long time.

Master Shen Si only felt that the time was so long, and the long time made his heart palpitate, and he finally heard Emperor Qinglong say: "I don't have to come here without telling you, Aiqing doesn't have to make this big gift." But his legs were already a little cold, and he didn't even get up for a while!

"That's it!"

"You are also an official from the fifth grade, why are you so useless? The emperor's private visit is to sympathize with the courtiers, and not to ask about the crime, what are you nervous about! Brother Rong, pick up your father. ”

It was Old Man Chen who spoke.

Old Man Chen's words seemed to be extraordinarily unkind, but in the ears of Shen Si, it was like a bucket of hot water poured down, waking him up, warming him up, and his legs and feet finally listened to the call - he stood up and respectfully respected.

With the old man here, he has nothing to fear.

Thinking like this in his heart, Master Shen Si couldn't help but turn around to look at Mrs. Shen Si.

Mrs. Shen Si moved.

She took Shen Rou by the hand, slowly walked down the steps, and walked step by step to the front of the new snow shovel that Shen Fourth Master got up early in the morning, bowed, and said softly: "Concubine Shen Chen, please say hello to the emperor." Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

Then, she tugged Shen Rouyuan again.

The little girl, who was less than two years old, also followed her mother's example, squatting awkwardly, but did not speak.

Emperor Qinglong's gaze fell from Mrs. Shen Si to Shen Rouyan, a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "You have taught the child very well. It's only so young that you know how to salute. He took off a piece of red jade pendant that he was carrying, bent down and handed it to Shen Rouyan, and said, "It's called Ah Yuan, this is my gift to you." ”

His jade must be a good jade.

But it wasn't something with a special symbol, so Old Man Chen didn't stop him.

Shen Rouyuan took it and handed it to Mrs. Shen Si.

Mrs. Shen Si touched her hair, and she didn't insist on returning it to her, and said, "Mother will collect it for Ah Yan first." After she finished speaking, she took Shen Rouyu aside, got out of the way, and said to Shen is master: "Master, Your Majesty has deigned to descend...... The concubine went to prepare tea.
