Chapter 225: The Great Cold

The fifth princess had already gotten up, thinking that she was going to deal with this matter.

Song Zhi was a little worried about the situation of the water chestnut, so he put the barbarian on Shen Baiyan's lap and prepared to solve the matter.

When she was about to get up, she heard the impostor say casually: "It's a trivial matter, why do you need the princess to go in person?" Ann, go and ask the princess not to be here to give me trouble! ”

Song Zhi looked at Shen Baiyan hesitantly, only to see him blink lightly, and then re-seated.

Shen Baiyan leaned lightly on the back of the chair behind him, stretched his legs, and said to the impostor in a calm and relaxed manner: "Is it really okay?" ”

Shen Baiyan moved his body, revealing the appearance of the impostor, he was unceremoniously eating the white-cut mutton in front of Shen Baiyan, and said absently when he heard the words: "I don't know my daughter's temperament yet?" It must be that you see that your girl is beautiful, and I feel uncomfortable! It would be nice to teach you two lessons. ”

Although Song Zhi did not agree with his understatement, he would not be idle and had nothing to do, so he took care of his family affairs, only picked up a bowl of almond cheese in front of him and fed a spoonful to Man'er.

Man'er was targeted inexplicably, looked at Song Zhi with a little pity, and whispered to Song Zhi's ear: "Sister water chestnut is fine." ”

"Your dad is here, what can happen?" Song Zhi couldn't see that the barbarian was wronged, and he wanted to ask for an explanation himself, but when he saw that the impostor volunteered to send someone away, he didn't want to say anything more, so he had to carefully appease his daughter.

The barbarian glanced at Shen Baiyan, and when he saw him calmly beside him, he ate cheese with peace of mind.

After a while, first the water chestnut came back, and then the fifth princess also took a seat, but Princess Jiucang was missing.

Song Zhi turned his head and glanced at the water chestnut, only to see that there was nothing unusual about her body, and she shook her head slightly at herself, indicating that she was relieved that she had nothing to do.

The fifth princess didn't see anything unusual on her face, and it seemed that she had just gone to change her clothes.

The tenth princess had been paying attention to the movement here, and was relieved to see that the water chestnut was back.

She had knocked on the side of the fifth princess before, telling her to control Jiucang well, not to be so obedient, otherwise she didn't know when she offended people.

I don't know if Jiucang was crooked from the roots, or the fifth princess didn't take her words to heart at all?

The tenth princess thinks that she has done her best, so she doesn't care about it.

Song Zhi was feeding the barbarians, and he couldn't see anything just by looking at the look on his face.

"Children are young, many behaviors are for a reason, don't pretend to be deaf and dumb, even if you are born, you should also discipline well."

What Song Zhi didn't expect was that Shen Baiyan actually opened his mouth and ordered a sentence from the impostor.

The impostor put down his chopsticks, the smile on his face did not change, and said to Shen Baiyan: "I can be said to be very fond of Jiu Cang, why did the regent say this?" ”

"If you really love it, you should control it, otherwise it will be a killing. If you have any resentment in your heart, you should not make amends for your child. Shen Baiyan didn't save any face for the impostor, and directly pierced it.

I don't know how many secrets are hidden in these few words, Song Zhi immediately handed the barbarian to Si Cha and said, "The princess has eaten a lot. Water chestnut, you take her to find winter and spring, you eat together, don't let the princess catch a cold. ”

Most of the people who were waiting around him were gone, and only a meteor remained.

Song Zhi re-held the chopsticks, and Meteor scraped a piece of white and delicate steamed fish meat for her and put it on her small plate for her to taste.

The impostor looked at Song Zhi's smooth way of doing things, and saw that she was now pretending to be calm again, as if she hadn't heard anything, she was really a fox cub with a rabbit face.

The impostor couldn't help but say to Shen Baiyan: "You two are really husbands and wives, and you have a temperament all the way. I heard that the old emperor also betrothed you a kiss, and we both married blindly and dumbly, why are you so lucky? ”

Song Zhi glanced at him unceremoniously, calling the impostor dumb.

Shen Baiyan straightened up, blocked the impostor's sight, and said, "Don't talk about something here, rub my food, and go back to your own seat." ”

"Hey! You man! "Obviously, he was the east, but he was accused by the guests of rubbing rice, and the impostor was really deflated.

But he also knew that he was always sitting here, and he didn't like to talk, so he got up and dusted off his clothes and left angrily, and others thought that something was going on between the two of them.

The impostor sat down next to the five princesses, and Song Zhi saw from the corner of his eye that the five princesses wanted to say a few words to the impostor, but they were interrupted impatiently.

After the banquet was dispersed, Song Zhi asked Princess Lian to stop and say a few words, she sent an invitation to the palace a few days ago, inviting Song Zhi and Shen Baiyan to attend the wedding banquet between her child and the daughter of the Guo family.

Song Zhi hadn't replied to her yet, Princess Lian was a little anxious, why didn't she hurry up and grab Song Zhi and ask a few more questions at this time?

In order to get out, Song Zhi had no choice but to respond. Although Guo Zaifu and King Lian and Shen Baiyan don't have any friendship, there is nothing dirty on weekdays, just skip a trip to show your face.

Song Zhi was a little surprised, this Princess Lian can really be said to be an expert in the back house, King Lian obviously has no authority in the court, but she can get the invitation of Yuan'an Palace today.

When the three of them returned home in the carriage, Man'er had already fallen asleep in Shen Baiyan's arms.

Song Zhi looked at the sleeping face of the barbarian, and whispered to Shen Baiyan: "What is the suspicion between the impostor and the fifth princess?" Why is it so cold, and you don't even bother to do face work? ”

Shen Baiyan laid the barbarian flat on the cushion of the carriage, protected the edge with his hands, and explained to Song Zhi in detail: "The mother concubine of the fifth princess was born as a maidservant girl in the northern country, and she became a tribute girl. In the eyes of the impostor, this is a shame. So the fifth princess is not worthy of the position of the mother of the country in his eyes, you say, can the two of them be good together? ”

"This family business was begged by his father, although it was not the fifth princess who asked for it at that time, but the first emperor did not have Li Dai Taozhuang, and it was also clearly said. Now he sprinkled his dissatisfaction on a woman, saying that it was ugly, the fifth princess was just a chess piece. I looked at him, and he was really not a big man. ”

Although Song Zhi did not agree with the fifth princess, he was not convinced by Shen Baiyan's words, and still had his own opinions.

Shen Baiyan nodded, with a little complicated helplessness on his face, and said: "There is no affection between him and the fifth princess, but he also tries his best to protect the status and dignity that the fifth princess should have, but as the head of a country, the things he needs to consider are not so simple." You must know that Jiu Cang, this kid, can survive, and he is already open. ”

This last sentence made Song Zhi's heart couldn't help but feel sour, and he didn't notice that Man'er's fingertips trembled slightly.

Song Zhi was silent for a long time, and was taken into his arms by Shen Baiyan, looking at the little girl's sleeping face, and smelling the clear smell of her husband, Song Zhi felt that he really loved himself in this world.

…………

In winter, there is little rain in Japan, but these days it has been raining for several days and snow, and the weather has become extremely cold.

It's not that they are afraid of the cold, but this cold makes him comfortable. But there was a lot of snow outside the city, and there were many people and horses in his group, and they couldn't get out for a while.

The typhoid medicine in the Beijing pharmacy was not enough in an instant, and some frail elderly and children could not survive it, so there were many more white things.

Fortunately, a thick cotton Nadir tent had been hung on the corridor of this palace early on, so that the cold wind and cold rain could not penetrate in. Otherwise, most of the people in this house will fall ill.

Song Zhi also ordered that a charcoal basin should be placed on the cloister every ten zhang for the people to keep warm. Even so, when Cha Zhi came back from outside the house, he was still so cold that he rubbed his hands.

"Madam, the old gentleman said, there are enough medicinal materials in the house, so you don't have to worry." was relieved by the heat in the room, and Cha Zhi was able to say a few words.

Song Zhiben was teaching the barbarians to draw birds, that is, according to the words of the two birds, Da Gu and Xiao Gu.

When she heard Cha Zhi reply, she asked, "What about Mrs. Qiu?" ”

Mrs. Qiu said that the masters have a surplus of charcoal, but the black charcoal burned in this corridor is not much, and it has to be used in the kitchen. Mrs. Qiu said that if it continues to burn like this, I am afraid that it will be bottomed out in three days. Cha Zhi replied truthfully, but he couldn't help but worry that Song Zhi would withdraw the charcoal fire outside.

Even if the powerful family treats their subordinates leniently, although it is because of the extreme cold, there is no one like Song Zhi who burns charcoal for them in winter.

"Send someone out to buy it immediately, the price of black charcoal on the market will definitely rise, as long as it is not more than 30% expensive, you will also buy it, and buy enough for a month."

Seeing that Song Zhi didn't seem to think too much about the issue of money, Meteor was happy for the maids outside, but he still said, "Madam, this is not a small amount. ”

Song Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at the messy lines of Man'er's pen, and he was also a little worried and irritable, and said to Meteor: "The adults at the stargazing platform said that there are still some days when it is so cold." Charcoal fire is more expensive than medicinal herbs, so buy it. ”

Jingzhong is quite stable, but I only heard Shen Baiyan say that Shuojing and Junan have been a little chaotic because of the lack of medicine and charcoal in the past few days, and there have been several homicide cases.

Wu Zhi was directly assigned to go over, and in this cold day, Song Zhi just listened to it, and felt tired for him.

Yesterday, Song Zhi received a letter from Song Ling, which did not mention Song Yan in the letter, only saying that the western border was cold this year, and the grain harvest was out of order, so the western border was ready to move from top to bottom. He couldn't leave the western border, so he asked Song Zhi and Song Ling to take good care of the Lin family and Song Tian.

Just after reading Song Ling's letter, Song Zhi got news again in the afternoon, saying that Zeng Yunyi was too sick to get up.

Song Zhi wanted to go back to his parents' house immediately, but the little guy who prepared the horses in the outer courtyard was frozen on the side of the road, not to mention the carriage, and it was easy to fall on his head even if he walked.

Song Zhi doesn't know how to work lightly, except for giving birth to a pair of wings, there seems to be no way to go out.

It wasn't until Shen Baiyan and a gust of cold wind came in the door that Song Zhi's eyes lit up.
