The winter in Luozhou is not much different from Chang'an, and it can be summed up in one word, cold!

In the cold city of Luozhou, the land is covered with a layer of silver-white clothing, and there are not many pedestrians on the road, only the people who have to go out, or the hurried pace of the merchants.

With the passage of time, there has been more and more heating over the years, and the direct drive is naturally the coal business.

Many people choose to store coal in the summer, so that they can use it directly in the winter, one is not to compete with others for those high-priced coal in the winter, and the other is to store it in advance, and there is no need to worry about what to do if there is no coal at that time?

As for why?

The answer is simple.

The newly built Taipingfang commercial area, all the interior of the use of unified heating, the price is relatively low, and most of the vendors in it are Chang'an Taipingfang followed, although there are also some local vendors, but in the case of most of the vendors choose to pay, they are also difficult to turn the sky.

In the first winter, the warm and spring-like business of Taipingfang was so hot that people were shocked, while the shops in other areas were deserted and unattended.

If it weren't for the lack of business, these vendors wouldn't have done the renovation at all, and they wouldn't have spent extra money on heating.

But even so, business in winter is much worse than in summer, but compared to before, it is already good.

Recently, a series of changes have taken place in Luozhou, and there are obviously more Wuhou patrolling the streets, and even the garrison can often be seen joining in.

In addition to strengthening inspections, some suspicious persons have also been investigated many times, and for this reason, the people of Los Angeles also have some dissatisfaction with this.

Although it is safer, life is also more inconvenient.

In recent days, the government has organized a general clean-up.

Yes, it is a general cleaning, which requires that the streets be swept clean, and there can be no snow, and even the official roads outside the city are swept clean.

On this day, Duan Lun, the governor of Luozhou, came to the gate of Luozhou with some officials who did not need to be on duty, and Duan Lun's family came together.

Although no news was announced among the people, these officials knew that the emperor was coming, so no one dared to be careless.

Even in these thirty-nine days, the coldest days, all the officials are still wearing official uniforms, and under the beautiful appearance, there is the shivering body that is frozen.

Duan Jianbi also stood there in a regular manner, with a pair of small hands tucked into his sleeves, a slender figure, and a red little face, which made many people feel pity.

It's a pity that Duan Jianbi's identity is not ordinary, not to mention what they have in mind, even if they even come to the door to ask for marriage, they don't have the courage to do so.

As for Duan Yan, compared to those serious officials and sisters with decent dowries, Duan Yan is much more comfortable.

Not only is he wearing a very thick body, but he also puts on a very good shirt on the outside, but he wears too much, so it looks a little bloated.

Although Princess Gaomi wanted to say a few words to him, but as soon as the words reached her mouth, the motherhood in her body began to overflow, such a cold day, it was enough to let the child come out with him, and he was not allowed to wear so thick, how could he stand it?

Looking at Duan Yan, looking at Duan Jianbi, Princess Gaomi, who couldn't bear it, quietly asked someone to take a piece of clothing, and then draped it on Duan Jianbi's body, and the mother and daughter stood there and waited quietly, and there was no superfluous communication.

The convoy is not moving fast, and after the pipeline is repaired, five days from Chang'an to Luozhou will basically be enough.

But this trip is not in a hurry, it is purely to inspect, plus the curfew will be lifted after the year, so this baggage Yuanji and others are not in a hurry.

So the original five-day journey took eight days to complete.

Far away, you can see that the emperor's car is slowly coming, tall, mighty, and beautiful.

There are also nearly 100 carriages of all sizes followed around, as well as thousands of forbidden army guards, and the commander of the army is naturally Chi Jingde, the commander of the forbidden army.

Of course, Li Yuan didn't give Yu Chi Jingde any good face along the way, and Yu Chi Jingde also hid far away with great interest, basically not getting close to the emperor's car, so as not to feel uncomfortable for himself.

The convoy slowly stopped, and under the leadership of Duan Lun, the hundred officials saluted the emperor's car.

Li Yuanji got out of the carriage, and a breath of cold air made him shiver.

There is heating in the carriage, a stove no matter day or night, has never stopped the fire, plus it is a special carriage, the warmth effect is naturally good, so a sudden out, somewhat uncomfortable.

"Excuse me!" Li Yuanji waved his hand towards Baiguan formulaically, and continued: "Let's all go back, let people prepare some ginger soup to drink, don't freeze your body on such a cold day." ”

'Ga ......'

Many officials still kept their heads down, but they were surprised in their hearts.

Shouldn't the emperor say something at this time? Even if it's going through the motions, even if it's considerate of them, it's okay to say a few words more or less.

But as soon as he appeared, he let people go back after a sentence of exemption, what kind of routine is this special meow?

Although it is really cold, although there are really people who can't stand it anymore, but the men of the Tang Dynasty are still relatively backbone, in this kind of etiquette, even if they can't bear it, they have to grit their teeth and carry it, it is a trivial matter if the body is broken, but it is a big thing to lose etiquette, not to mention that they greet the emperor.

"Fourth sister, come up with Jian Bi and Duan Yan, I haven't seen you for many years, and my father misses you a lot." Although he knew that it was unreasonable, Li Yuanji also knew that if he didn't enter the city, they wouldn't have the courage to go first.

After explaining two sentences, he didn't continue to urge, but directly called the fourth sister and his niece up, looking at Duan Jianbi, who had grown up, whose delicate little face was red from the cold, Li Yuanji couldn't bear it for a while.

As for Duan Yan, the goods wrapped themselves like a bear, how could it be too cold?

The emperor's car, Princess Gaomi herself did not plan to go up, even if she was his sister, but when she heard that her father and emperor were also coming, Princess Gaomi took a son and a daughter to board the carriage.

"Uncle!" Compared with a few years ago, today's Duan Jianbi has grown up, he has grown a lot taller, and the whole person is also a lot more refined, quite a bit like the fourth sister, but he looks better than the fourth sister, if he is released, he is also a great beauty who will bring disaster to the country and the people, but when he saw Li Yuanji, Duan Jianbi was obviously still a little shy.

The intimacy of the past seems to have faded a lot with the passage of time, and the unrestrained relationship of a few years ago has also disappeared as Duan Jianbi grows up.

"Hmmm! Jian Bi has grown up and become more beautiful than before! Li Yuanji smiled and nodded, feeling that he was his niece, after all, he couldn't show that he was unfamiliar, but Duan Jianbi had grown up, and it was not good for him to touch her head like before.

Then under Li Yuanji's order, the fourth sister and Duan Jianbi entered the carriage first, although it was supposed to be the emperor who went first.

"Uncle! Uncle! Did you bring a gift for her? While Princess Gaomi and Duan Jianbi entered the carriage, Duan Yan pulled Li Yuanji's sleeve with a ghostly look and asked in a low voice.

"What gift do you want? I'll see if there's anything around! This naughty ghost, Li Yuanji stretched out his hand and came up to Duan Yan's head, and asked with a smile.

"Uncle, keep your voice quiet, if you let my mother know, then I will be miserable." Duan Yan glanced at the car in a little panic, and then said in a low voice: "Uncle doesn't know, Yan'er has been miserable all these years, only three yuan of pocket money a day, and she can't afford to eat outside if she wants to, if someone doesn't invite her, Yan'er can only mix with those called Huazi, and ah, some time ago, someone gave me some vouchers for Taipingfang, but I was told by my sister, and the harmful Yan'er was beaten by her mother for three days and couldn't get out of bed......"

Duan Yan complained bitterly, and at the same time stretched out his hand and gestured for money, indicating that he lacked nothing, but money.

"This means that your mother beat you and you can't get out of bed for three days, otherwise, you won't be able to get out of bed for three months." Li Yuanji originally wanted people to give his nephew some pocket money.

How to say that he is also a relative of the emperor, and he only has three yuan of pocket money a day, which is indeed too miserable.

Just listening to the content of the complaint behind this goods, Li Yuanji changed his decision in an instant, and even felt that the fourth sister was a little light.

At the age of only twelve or thirteen, he dared to accept bribes, if he was older, then he would pay it back?

There are a lot of cheats in Chang'an City, but no matter how pitted those cheats are, they don't dare to be as pitted as Duan Yan, at least those cheats still have a bottom line, and they don't dare to take other people's money, and everyone chooses the latter without exception in terms of money and whether they can be so beautiful in the future.

Besides, they are not particularly short of money, a little money, they still don't see it.

"Uncle......" Duan Yan pretended to be aggrieved and pulled Li Yuanji's arm and swayed back and forth.

Coquettish, cute, is this special meow something that a boy should do?

Li Yuanji was full of black lines on his forehead, and his heart gradually softened, and he was about to open his mouth to promise to give him some pocket money, but the fourth sister in the car walked out.

quickly stretched out a hand, and then accurately twisted Duan Yan's ear, twisting it so heavily that Duan Yan grinned in pain.

"You bastard, is it easy for your father to stay in Los Angeles? Yes? Dare to collect money from others at a young age, do you think your father's life is too comfortable or what? Dare to ask your uncle for money, if you don't beat your mother today, you won't be your mother if you don't get out of bed for three months......" Duan Yan thought that his mother didn't hear his words, but in fact, Princess Gaomi heard it clearly, but he didn't expect that after Li Yuanji refused, he still dared to be coquettish and cute, and the angry Princess Gaomi didn't care about her identity and occasion, and went straight out of the carriage to clean up Duan Yan.

The ministers who watched this scene were shocked, and secretly said that this Gaomi princess was not like this before, what is wrong today? Why was he so angry on the spot? Or in front of the emperor?

"Fourth sister, let's go in first, I'll talk about this later......" Li Yuanji wanted to laugh a little, but the occasion was not right, so he could only open his mouth and relieve the siege first.
