17th year of Yongping, 14th November.

Nanchu fell its first snow of the year.

This is also the first snow scene that Zhang Xiang saw when he came to this era.

The city of Pingzhou, which is covered with heavy snow, is beautiful and atmospheric.

"Slave, you put your head crooked..."

"Alas, it's not like this, come over a little more, don't you see it's ugly!"

"Yes, yes, that's it, come, put this arm on."

"Colt, I think it's uglier... Oh... No, it's supposed that you're too ugly. ”

"Hu, I'm an expert at building snowmen, why is this ugly?"

"Look, the noses are crooked."

"Hmm... Actually, this is called abstraction, not crooked. ”

"Donkey, you have a lot of reasons, you see, the princess is over there, and they are laughing at you."

…… Early in the morning, the Horse Mansion was lively.

Looking at the thick layer of snow all over the ground, Zhang Xiang was very interested, so he gathered the people in the house to build a snowman.

Whoever heaps the best heaps will be rewarded with a tael of silver, but if he heaps the best, everyone will give him a tael of silver.

And then... And then... Even if many people dare not compare, they have to compare, and those who do not compare will have to clear the snow.

After that, whether it was for a tael of silver to be rewarded, or for fear of losing a tael of silver, after the game began, the people in the house worked hard to pile up.

After Zhang Xiang pinched his head, he found that these subordinates had actually piled up their bodies.

This made him sweating profusely very miscalculated, and it seemed that he couldn't do these subordinates alone, so he had to quickly call the slave over to help him.

The slave laughed at him.

He's a serious pony, so what's the matter.

Zhao Hanyan also heard the sound and came over to join in the fun.

It's just that she didn't join the snowman building competition, but just stood not far away and watched the lively scene of the Horse Mansion.

Seeing her husband's sweaty head and a childish smile, there was always a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Qian Ziangqian stood behind her respectfully: "Your Royal Highness Princess, our Horse Mansion is the most atmospheric and lively mansion that the old slave has ever seen since following His Royal Highness from Bianjing to Pingzhou. ”

Zhao Hanyan nodded lightly: "Maybe it's because of the horse!" I have passed through the palace from the palace to the princess's mansion, and only these days in Pingzhou have made me feel happy in my heart. ”

"Your Royal Highness really found a good horse, the horse is the most kind master the old slave has ever seen, now, whether it is the people in the house, or the cloth village, the Ming Society, those guys in the workshop, are very close to the horse, those guys, the horse is kind to them, let them eat a full meal, even their families are also stained, food and clothing are worry-free, they will work for the horse in this life." The money shopkeeper smiled.

Zhao Hanyan smiled lightly, she knew that she was very good at buying people's hearts and using people.

Since handing over the affairs and business of the house to him, all of them have been thriving, which makes her feel very happy in her heart.

The only thing that makes her feel uneasy now is probably the guess in her heart!

Whenever she thinks of the consequences that will be triggered if this speculation is true, she will still be so sad that she can't sleep well in the dark night.

She didn't dare to ask the colt, she was afraid that the good relationship she had built with him would not stand the test.

Therefore, she can only pray every time, maybe she thinks too much.

A person with such a good colt should not be stupid!

At this time, she and Zhang Xiang had already finished building the snow and ran over, she pointed to a group of people who were with Zhang Xiang not far away, and pouted: "Princess, you see, the snowman is the best in the horse, but we all think he is the ugliest, he is abstract?" What does abstraction mean? The slave and maid don't understand, and everyone doesn't understand, the concubine can really make excuses, and will play tricks, princess, you quickly comment and see who is the best-looking. ”

Seeing her angry appearance, Zhao Hanyan laughed in a low voice: "Slave, didn't you build that snowman with the pony?" Don't you think it's good-looking? ”

"But the colt only asked me to pretend to be my head and arms, these heads, arms, are all pinched by the colt, I really think it's ugly!" The slave is honest.

Zhao Hanyan smiled and said: "Then you will be with the horse, he is the ugliest." ”

"It's still the fairest princess." The slave smiled, turned and ran again.

After she talked to everyone about the princess's opinion, Zhang Xiang glanced at Zhao Hanyan in astonishment.

Then he walked over dejectedly and said to Zhao Hanyan: "Oh, princess, it's your own, then please ask the princess to give each of them a tael of silver, I'm the one who counts." ”

Zhao Hanyan smiled and said to Qian Ziang beside him: "Steward Qian, you have to work." ”

Qian Ziang nodded hurriedly, bowed down and said, "The old slave will take them to get the silver." ”

After Steward Qian left with a group of subordinates, Zhao Hanyan grabbed Zhang Xiang's hand that was red from the cold, and blamed: "In order to let the subordinates take these two pieces of silver with peace of mind, the horse is really bitter." ”

Zhang Xiang smiled indifferently, grabbed her, and the two couples slowly walked to the hall in the snow: "I went to the side house where they lived a few days ago, and found that many of their quilts are already very old, and those who are slightly better are okay, and they know how to change, but those who are not high, most of them are given to their families every month, and they don't have much money left in their hands, and I just want them to change to a thicker quilt, so that they can eat and dress warmly in this winter." ”

Zhao Hanyan grabbed his hand and tightened it gently: "Donkey, it's Gao Ping's negligence." ”

Zhang Xiang smiled and shook his head: "I have been busy with foreign affairs recently, and the affairs of the palace are all handled by the princess, and the princess has worked hard." Besides, these things are in charge of Granny Liu, but the time to distribute the money has not yet arrived, and Granny Liu has not yet told the princess. ”

"The horse has this heart, Gao Ping thanked the horse on behalf of these subordinates." Zhao Hanyan pursed his lips and smiled.

Zhang Xiang said: "Living under the same roof, that is a family, even if they are subordinates, it should be treated as a family, a mansion, no disputes, no disturbances, it will seem happy." ”

"The idea of a colt is really different." Zhao Hanyan nodded lightly.

The two couples returned to the hall.

The charcoal fire in the house burned vigorously and warmed up a lot.

Zhao Hanyan ordered someone to bring the medicine box, and then heartily gave Zhang Xiang's frozen red hands some medicine.

After finishing it, Zhang Xiang got up and said, "Okay, I'll go change my clothes, and then I'm going to go to Mr. Su's mansion." ”

"Do you need Gao Ping to accompany you?" Zhao Hanyan put away the medicine box and asked.

Zhang Xiang shook his head: "It's just about some things in books, it's boring, it's cold outside, the princess should not go." ”

"Don't you think Gao Ping's writing is good, don't you understand what you and Mr. Su are saying?" Zhao Hanyan quipped.

Zhang Xiang laughed: "If the princess is not good at writing, then there will be no good talent in Pingzhou City." ”

Zhao Hanyan was just joking, nodded and said, "Then the horse will go early and return early, and Gao Ping will let his subordinates prepare the car." ”

After returning to the east room and changing into clean clothes, Zhang Xiang walked out of the east room, and just a subordinate came over with a letter and handed it to him respectfully: "The horse, this is just sent by the maid of the Yanyu Pavilion, let people pass it to the horse." ”

Zhang Xiang nodded, and after the subordinate left, he took it apart and took a look.

It was sent by Liu Qingyin, and the content of the letter was roughly because he saved Liu Qingyin's life last time, so Liu Qingyin wanted to invite him to go to the Yanyu Pavilion tonight to talk about it, and he had reported the grace of saving his life.

Zhang Xiang shook his head and smiled, then casually crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it into the lake and went out.

It's just that after Zhang Xiang left, the letter was fished up by Zhao Hanyan...... (Encountered a bottle top, stuck two, overturned some of the original plot, and prepared a faster rhythm.) ）
