It snowed lightly in the evening, and Xiao Chu went to bed early. I was listening to the snowflakes outside, and I heard the familiar sound of footsteps. Chu Huaixian is back.

Lin Xiaochu asked himself, he didn't mess with him today. As Wu Sanniang said, you can not agree, why do you lose your temper? Xiao Chu still didn't want to be cold for no reason, pulled the brocade quilt up to his shoulder again, turned around and went inside, half of his face was hidden in the quilt.

Chu Huaixian washed in, dug Xiao Chu out of the quilt, and said in a low voice: "How can people sleep when they are buried in the quilt?" Xiao Chu opened his eyes and saw that Chu Huaixian was completely faceless, with the same expression as he usually did. Xiao Chu said: "Aren't you angry? Chu Huaixian said: "Hmm." "Undressed and went to bed, just like every day, Grand Prince Chu will not be idle.

When the room really quieted down, Xiao Chu felt that he could hear the thin sound of snowflakes falling on the ground, and he was about to fall asleep when he suddenly remembered. After rubbing beside Chu Huaixian and making sure that he was not asleep, Xiao Chu asked quietly: "If I don't come out in the afternoon, will you fall the third one?" ”

Chu Huaixian smiled: "Yes." Xiao Chu said: "Give me all the armrests, inkstones and water bowls in your study." Chu Huaixian turned his face sideways: "Do you like it?" Xiao Chu smiled: "I'm afraid you'll fall, I'll help you put it away, when you don't drop something, I'll give it back to you." You don't have to thank me too much, if you don't like it, how can you put it in front of you. I saved a few things for you, I don't dare to say that I will build a seventh-level floating slaughter, so I will make a first-level for you. ”

Chu Huaixian laughed when he heard this, and took Xiao Chu into his arms: "It's really born to you." Xiao Chu pressed Chu Huaixian's shoulder and half elbow, and smiled on his face: "It's a pity to have those two pieces today, oh yes, why do you want to drop things?" Chu Huaixian kissed Xiao Chu on the cheek and said, "I don't fall, can she go?" Xiao Chu couldn't help but laugh, and twisted Chu Huaixian's chin with his fingers: "I see." But you're not afraid to scare me! ”

"I deserve it!" Chu Huaixian said with a smile, and Xiao Chu went to twist his nose again. Chu Huaixian dodged with his head sideways, then grabbed Xiao Chu's hand chasing after him, and told Xiao Chu in a good voice: "Grandmother and father have strict orders, and the family is not allowed to say this anymore." I think you don't have to say it, it seems that I was negligent. ”

Xiao Chu said mischievously: "You didn't beat me and scare me, now you know it's wrong?" Chu Huaixian's face sank, and then he regained his smile, slapped Xiao Chu's buttocks twice and said, "Grandmother and father's words, you can't make fun of them." Xiao Chu stuck out his tongue and fell asleep.

When he was drowsy, Chu Huaixian said in a low voice: "Xiao Chu," Xiao Chu moved his body: "Huh? Chu Huaixian stroked Xiao Chu's hair and said in a low voice, "Don't go out, ah?" Although Xiao Chu was close to the dream, he also pouted: "It's not good." Then he woke up and said, "Where can I go?" ”

Chu Huaixian chuckled lowly: "That's right." ”

In the thin snow, two lanterns came in the snow, and the great uncle smelled the cold snowy night, and said with satisfaction: "The plum blossoms are blooming." The person who led the way stopped outside the room, and Uncle Guo pushed the door himself in. Inside, the lamps were lit, and two hand-wrenching servants stood beside the bookshelves.

"Any new letters?" Uncle Dao sat down and asked. With his questioning, the servants presented an excerpt: "It is the excerpt that Young Master Chu handed to the palace yesterday." "It's a transcript. Uncle Dao opened with a smile: "Let me see what he said?" After seeing it, it was not a good face, and ordered the little servant: "Please Mr. Liu come." ”

Mr. Liu, a staff member, came over, and Uncle Dao showed him the fold, with an angry look: "It's just not like words!" He's going to draw this fire everywhere. In the past few months, officials have been in danger, and now they are looking for their family members. Hateful! Uncle Dao clenched his fists and slammed it: "A group of cowards in the Du family actually let him really tear this matter apart!" ”

Mr. Liu saw it, his face was a little pale, he put the fold on the table, and said slowly: "Uncle Guo doesn't need to worry, this Du family was originally a discarded chess piece." They boldly designed the people of the Chu family, sooner or later, they would have a grudge, and there was nothing wrong with them at that time. At this time, they didn't dare to let go of Yibo, because there was no one to guide them. ”

"I hate the old puppet for being treacherous," Uncle Dao pointed to the excerpt of Young Master Chu's excerpt in his hand: "Look at what is written here...... All the children of officials, their families, and their families who fornicate salt, iron, official land, and all other national taxes should be held responsible! The salt and iron that I will transport to Beijing next month, he smells something! What a bastard! I don't believe there are so many people in his family, nothing? To check, I also heard a sentence last year, saying that his son had a stake in a restaurant, I don't believe he didn't! ”

Mr. Liu pondered: "Even if Gongzi Chu doesn't have it, he can also be made into a have." It's just that Young Master Chu has such an excerpt in front of him, and the household department must strictly investigate, no matter how smart Young Master Chu is, he will not get on the thief ship at this time. Doesn't there be a young lady in their family, like a girl, right? ”

"Reminded by your words, I have a countermeasure." Uncle Guo accidentally plucked a string and said to Mr. Liu: "Don't mention any girl first, I will enter the palace tomorrow to see my sister, and tell her that the national tax belongs to the national tax, and the official field is not good to involve too many people." With an idea, Uncle Dao's face was red in the candlelight, and he smiled slyly: "Maybe I won't say anything and let Young Master Chu investigate thoroughly?" He is not trying to offend people, let him offend well. ”

Mr. Liu muttered again: "I don't think so. A while ago, the capital was unkempt, and many bullets were shocked, and the emperor did not send them, this time...... Uncle Guo went to ask the queen to take care of it. Uncle Daguo took a look: "Circling? My sister is the first virtuous person in the world, and she will not be able to deal with it. I was very good at her, and in this way, my money was discounted by more than half. Mr. Liu smiled: "Uncle Guo doesn't have to worry, salt and iron are all money sources, and many people in Beijing have intervened, if Uncle Guo can wait, just wait and see what happens; If you can't wait, go to the palace. ”

The lights flickered, and Uncle Dao was a little troubled. He also has thick thick eyebrows, and his eyes are big eyes very similar to Empress Zhang, which look too bright on a man's face.

This incident happened temporarily, and Uncle Dao was a little confused. He smiled bitterly at Mr. Xu: "Young Master Chu, this old slippery head, I don't know which medicine I took wrong this year." Mr. Xu smiled and said: "The death of the Rong family is related to his son and licking the heart of the calf, everyone has it." Uncle Dao snorted: "I didn't tie Chu Huaixian, the little white face surnamed Zheng can actually resist the punishment, and if he wants to be punished again, the Chu family will stop doing it, and the palace is also asking, so he can only be left behind and let him go." ”

Mr. Xu doesn't see it that way: "A single filament does not form a thread, and if there are more filaments, it can tie people." The Chu family in front of him, and see how the palace reacts, but what does the prime minister think of the Zhongshan Palace? Uncle Daguo was annoyed when he heard it: "Zhao Cunzong's thing, it can't be wooed, it's a hard and cold stone, it's very difficult to touch." My father had a headache when he heard his name, and I saw it," the candlelight reflected on the wall, and Uncle Daguo made a downward gesture. Mr. Xu shook his head: "It's not necessarily the best policy." ”

"Let's put it aside," Uncle Dao stroked his forehead, as if he really had a headache. Mr. Liu smiled and looked outside at the sky. Uncle Dao also felt tired, waved his hand and said, "Go back and rest, I'm tired too, you come tomorrow, let's talk about it." Mr. Liu stood up and did not forget to remind: "Uncle Guo can let his family go to intercept the caravan on the road, and there is snow, so it is okay to enter the city slowly." Uncle Dao's thick eyebrows raised: "That's right." ”

Mr. Liu came out first, and Uncle Dao came out of his mind for a while, and then looked at other official documents and other things before rubbing his eyes and walking out. The snowflakes are still clear and long, and they don't grow bigger, and they don't stop for a while. Under the porch, they put on snow clothes, the family raised the lanterns, and after the big uncle went, the little servants in the room came to clean up and put out the candles.

The sound of bangs kept coming: "It's the second watch, be careful of the candle ......."

The snow is dawning, and there is no intention of stopping. People who go out are sleepy, so they only use both hands to scoop a handful of fine flying snow in their hands, and then rub their faces, which is much more sober.

Uncle Dao was like this at this time, he was still reminiscing about the fragrance on his seventh concubine's clothes yesterday, but as soon as he stood in the snow, he immediately cleared his senses.

Walking through the Dishui Gate, the personal mother-in-law of Yao's wife, the wife of the great uncle, came over and kept talking: "Madame asked Master Hou, there was a banquet in the palace on the day of Laba, did Master Hou wait for Mrs. to go with him, or did Mrs. accompany the old lady to go first." Uncle Daguo was impatient: "Laba still has more than ten days, and I will talk about it on that day." ”

The uncle of the great country is now the Marquis of Anding, and he holds the official position in Caoyun. Gonghou Bozi Nan, he, the marquis, in addition to occupying the identity of a national uncle, is two layers different from Zhao Cunzong, the little prince, in other places. Zhao Cunzong doesn't buy his account very much, and he doesn't have his own reasoning.

Walk dozens of steps to the door, and Uncle Erguo is waiting there: "Big brother into the palace?" "Uncle Erguo is still young, only sixteen years old, and he has a good temperament and abandons literature, just like the eldest brother. He saw that his uncle was dressed in an official uniform, neatly wrapped, and he guessed it at once. When Uncle Dao saw him, he smiled slightly: "Second brother, you go with me." ”

Uncle Erguo is burly, not as old as the eldest brother, and how tall he has been, so he agreed and ordered: "Bring the horse." ”

The brothers entered the palace together, and in the snow on the road, Uncle Guo probably said something to Uncle Erguo, and Uncle Erguo disdainful: "Chu family hum, I have never had him in my eyes!" Uncle Dao smiled again, and in the blur of snowflakes, this smile was also blurred: "According to my father's intentions, it is still necessary to go around." ”

Halfway through the horseback ride, he met Chu Huaixian in the snow. The eyes of the two groups of people were sharp, and Chu Huaixian arched his hand first: "The two uncles rushed to the snow?" Uncle Daguo was very polite: "Let's enter the palace, what about you?" Looking behind Chu Huaixian, there were two big cars. Chu Huaixian said with a smile: "On the orders of my parents, I will send sacrificial things to the family temple." Uncle Erguo snatched his brother's words: "There are roe deer and rabbits outside the city, and if you fight too much, remember to divide me in half." Chu Huaixian laughed twice in the snow: "Of course!" When the snow fell heavier, Uncle Yue went out of the city to hunt together. ”

Everyone broke up, and Chu Huaixian didn't care what happened to these two uncles entering the palace? Anyway, Zhonggong is their eldest sister, so if you like to go, go there. However, the second uncle had to turn around and look at Chu Huaixian twice, and said to his brother: "The Chu family only has this one, and you can still take a few looks." I said that I would hunt again when it snowed heavily, and when the snow was heavy, I asked him to go. If he can't beat it, he will lose his name. ”

"How could he not fight?" Since seeing Chu Huaixian, Uncle Dao smiled thoughtfully, and when he picked up his younger brother's words, he remembered another person: "Hunting in summer, Chu Huaixian's archery skills are no less than that of Xiao Zhao Wangye." Inadvertently mentioned the archer Zhao Cunzong, and Uncle Daguo's heart ached again.

A big rock in this hard state!

Uncle Erguo also thought about it: "On the day I watched the apricot blossoms, Uncle Xiaoguo blew it for him." By the way, big brother, the name Uncle Xiaoguo is really heart-wrenching, it sounds like my younger brother! Bah, where do I have this good brother! Uncle Daguo was also amused: "Let him go to Uncle Xiaoguo, this is also the measure of you and me." ”

The front arrived at the palace gate, although the middle palace was favored, the two uncles did not have the holy family of King Liang, and they could ride horses in the palace. Dismounted at the gate of the palace, two black mink fur snow coats side by side, laughing and walking towards the queen's palace. The cold plum blossoms bloom a few branches, and from time to time you can see the plum forest, the faint fragrance wisps, in the ice and snow of the palace at this time.

Empress Zhang sat in the palace room, laughing with the palace people. When I heard that my younger brothers were coming, I also liked it: "Let the uncles come in." ”
