This year's winter snow fell very late, and it was not until the beginning of the month that the first snow fell, and with this snow, the next few days were almost cloudy, even at noon, the sky was overcast, as if it would snow again at any time.

The north wind blew all night last night, and after dawn the gale did not stop, but became stronger, and the howling north wind swept the debris and dust on the ground, making the surroundings yellow and mushy, quite a bit of a sandstorm in the future. Seeing that the outside environment was so bad, Zhao Yan didn't go out for almost a whole day, asked Xiao Bean Sprouts to block the doors and windows, and then called Cao Ying and the two sisters to play cards with them all day, as for the cousin who lost weight, she also changed to indoor activities.

Waiting until half of the afternoon passed, the fierce north wind slowly stopped, but the clouds in the sky were thicker, and it was about to snow, and sure enough, after another half an hour, some small snowdrops began to fall in the sky, and then the snowflakes fell bigger and bigger, and finally turned into goose feather snow, and it only fell for half an hour, and the sky and earth had become a snow-white.

There was goose feather snow outside, and Zhao Yan and Cao Ying and others in the room no longer played cards, but began to eat, because they played cards too seriously, and as a result, they didn't even eat lunch, and now several people finally feel hungry, plus there is such a good snow scene outside, so Cao Ying and Princess Shoukang are shouting to let Zhao Yan teach the kitchen to make something delicious, and their appetite is now being nourished by Zhao Yan, and it is difficult to arouse their interest in ordinary dishes.

Zhao Yan looked at such a good snow scene, and his heart was also moved at that time, and he immediately asked the kitchen to boil a pot of soup with mutton bones, and then brought a charcoal stove and put it on the table, and put the small iron pot containing bone broth on the charcoal stove, and then cut the mutton, venison, chicken, and fish into thin slices. and a large piece of cabbage was delivered, and Zhao Yan wanted to eat hot pot in this snowy weather.

"Third brother, your way of eating is very fresh. Can this meat be cooked, though? Princess Shoukang looked at the different kinds of meat slices around the hot pot, but said with some skepticism. She had the impression that it would take a long time to cook the meat so that it could be cooked and flavorful, otherwise she would suffer if she ate half-cooked meat.

Zhao Yan didn't answer Princess Shoukang's question immediately, but smiled and picked up a thin piece of mutton, soaked it in the hot pot a few times, and then took it out and dipped it in sesame paste and garlic paste. Only then did he put it in his mouth, and the combination of the tenderness of the mutton and the spicy sauce made Zhao Yan sigh in admiration, the idea of eating hot pot on a snowy day was really amazing.

"Third sister, you can eat it with confidence, this thing is called hot pot, you see that the meat slices are cut so thinly, and then soaked in the hot soup a few times, it will be cooked immediately, and it is more tender than ordinary meat. Eat it with dipping sauce, and you can't put it down! Zhao Yan said while putting mutton in the pot, and at the same time beckoned Cao Ying and Princess Bao'an to also taste the taste of hot pot.

Seeing Zhao Yan's expression of enjoyment when he ate mutton. Cao Ying's suspicions in their hearts were also slightly reduced, the three of them picked up chopsticks and gave themselves a piece of mutton, followed Zhao Yan's example and dipped it in the sauce and put it in their mouths, but now it is really like Zhao Yan said, the taste of this mutton is extremely tender, they have grown so big, it is the first time they have eaten such tender mutton.

At the moment, Cao Ying, Princess Bao'an, and Princess Shoukang are all very happy, and they are indeed hungry, so they are all chopsticks flying. The plate of mutton that Zhao Yan put down was quickly eaten, which made him have to put a few more plates. In addition, those eggs, fish and the like are also put down, anyway, today is more meat and less vegetables. There were only two plates of cabbage on a large table, and he couldn't find other fresh vegetables, as well as classic hot pot dishes such as meatballs and mushrooms, so he had to fill in the gaps with various meats.

Zhao Yan ate a few slices of mutton, and felt that the garlic in the sauce was a little spicy enough, so he called the small bean sprouts and asked her to bring her own chili oil, and then put it in the sauce, which made him feel very appetizing, in fact, he really wanted to put the chili pepper directly in the soup to make a spicy pot, but he was worried that Cao Ying and the others would not be used to eating it, so they could only put it in the sauce.

Cao Ying and the others are not the first time they have seen Zhao Yan eat chili peppers, they have tasted them before, and the results are like the first time the little bean sprouts ate chili peppers, they can't stand the spicy taste of chili peppers at all. But now Cao Ying saw Zhao Yan sweating profusely eating, but she suddenly couldn't help but want to taste it again.

With this idea, Cao Ying immediately took the chili oil and poured a little into her sauce, and then took a piece of her favorite fish and dipped it in her mouth, although it still felt spicy and uncomfortable at first, but after slowly getting used to it, it made Cao Ying have a very pleasant feeling, just like Zhao Yan said, it was very enjoyable, which also made her unable to stop, and she was sweating profusely when she ate with Zhao Yan, and she didn't look like a lady at all.

Princess Shoukang and Princess Bao'an saw that Cao Ying also began to eat chili peppers, which made the two of them very curious, first the most daring Princess Shoukang also learned from Cao Ying's appearance to add some chili peppers to herself, but I didn't expect this hot pot and chili peppers to really match, Princess Shoukang also quickly showed the benefits of chili peppers, and finally even the gentle Princess Bao'an also fell, the three girls shouted spicy while eating, but no one refused to stop.

However, just when Zhao Yan and his wife and sisters were happily eating hot pot, they heard that someone outside suddenly came in the snow, and Mixue immediately went out to open the door, only to see a maid coming in with a snowflake, and then saluted Zhao Yan and said: "King Qiyu, there are guests outside, saying that they came to visit at your invitation." ”

"Guest?" Zhao Yan was also very surprised when he heard this, how could there be guests on such a snowy day? So he asked, "Who is the other party, and did you say when I invited him?" ”

"This ......" The maid seemed to be a little embarrassed, first looked at Cao Ying, and then said in a slurred voice, "Qi ...... Qiyu County King, the other party is ...... It is Xue Ning'er, who is known as the second line of Tokyo, she said that the county king had invited her to come to the mansion before, but because she was entangled in mundane affairs before, she didn't take the time to come until today to complete the agreement with the county king. ”

"Hmmm~Hm~Hm~" As soon as the maid's voice fell, Zhao Yan felt that Cao Ying and the eyes of the two sisters shot at him like a sharp sword, and it was just a man to act outside, but if he invited a prostitute to the house, it would be disrespectful to the hostess, Cao Ying, as the daughter of the general, had the strongest temperament, and she was naturally very angry when she heard this.

When Princess Bao'an lived with Wang Shu before, she also encountered a lot of this kind of thing, only for the sake of family harmony to endure it, although Zhao Yan is her own brother, but she also doesn't want her younger brother to become a scum like Wang Xu, as for Princess Shoukang, she is even more jealous and hateful, because Princess Bao'an hates this kind of thing the most, not to mention that she and Cao Ying are still good sisters, so when she heard that Zhao Yan actually invited a line to the house, she also stared at her younger brother with a questioning look.

Seeing Cao Ying and her two sisters' eyes that could kill, Zhao Yan's frightened cold sweat came down, and he hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, last time when I was gathering in the West Garden, this Xue Ning'er helped me several times, but because of the situation, I promised to paint a portrait of her, but I have never been to Xue Ning'er, and Xue Ning'er didn't dare to come, until the last time I participated in the incense banquet, I met the other party again, so I invited her to come to the other courtyard to complete the original agreement." ”

Hearing Zhao Yan's explanation, Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang breathed a sigh of relief, and Cao Ying smiled and said: "Husband doesn't have to explain, the concubine is not a jealous woman, now you are a famous talent, and it is normal to attract some greedy and vain women, not to mention that Xue Ning'er is famous, and countless literati want to make friends with him, and now the other party takes the initiative to visit, husband don't snub the beauty!" ”

Although Cao Ying said at the beginning that she was not jealous, but there was a sour breath in and out of her words, and Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang also covered their mouths and snickered, it seems that no matter how smart a woman is, when she encounters emotional things, she will become very cautious, this is the nature of women, and it has nothing to do with the background of the times, don't think that women in ancient times would willingly let their husbands find women outside, and if they want to take concubines at home, they must also get the consent of their wives.

"Ahem~, you eat first, I'll go see each other, and when I finish the original portrait agreement, I'll let her leave!" Zhao Yan is actually very wronged, Cao Ying's wife alone has not been done at home, how can he have the heart to go outside to find a woman?

Of course, with Zhao Yan's current identity, he can also completely ignore Cao Ying's attitude and desperately pull women home, but the reason why people are human is because people have feelings, if they see a beautiful woman, what is the difference between it and a beast? Maybe some men can not care about the attitude of the people around them and put their own * first, but at least Zhao Yan can't do it.

At the moment, Zhao Yan put on a warm fox fur coat under the service of small bean sprouts, but as soon as he went out, he was immediately hit on his face by the cold wind and snowflakes, and he shivered when he was frozen.

Zhao Yan stepped on the snow to the living room in the front yard, and as soon as he entered it, he immediately saw Xue Ning'er standing in the hall playfully, and when he came in, Xue Ning'er saluted with a smile: "King of the county, long time no see!" (To be continued)
