Ji Jian was finally moved by the queen's words and lay back on the bed: "The queen mother is right, it is the son who is impulsive, so according to what the queen mother said, show favor to the Ye Mansion." ”

The queen nodded with satisfaction, stretched out her hand, and covered the brocade quilt on the prince: "You raise it in the palace first, and I will find a good opportunity to mention this matter in front of your father." ”

After speaking, the queen patted the prince's hand lightly: "Remember, if you want to achieve great things, you must learn to forbear, Ye Mansion, you go there in person." ”

"Erchen understands."

*****

The snow in the Imperial City is getting heavier and heavier.

On the contrary, Ye Xiu became more and more comfortable on the road.

On weekdays, the streets are always too crowded, full of people, and very noisy.

Today is a rare quiet, so I am not in a hurry or slow.

Not a few streets away from Yefu, in front of the Shilixiang Restaurant at the crossroads, a few sporadic guests ordered some side dishes in the restaurant, waiting for the snow to stop.

Under the red lacquered wall on the left side of the restaurant, a half-human-high snowman is lifelike.

The head and body are well-defined, and there is even the appearance of a beard.

Next to the snowman, there is also a snow gourd.

Ye Xiu walked up to the snowman in surprise and touched it with his hand, wanting to appreciate this real artwork up close.

As soon as his hand touched the snowman's head, the snowman's eyes suddenly blinked, and the scattered snow on his eyelids shook off.

He revealed a pair of dark and bright eyes.

Ye Xiu was dumbfounded and blurted out: "It turned out to be a fake snowman!" ”

Under the freezing weather, there are people who do not look for a warm place, but sit directly against the cold wall, blown by the wind and snow, and even become a snowman covered by the falling snow without moving.

The snowman opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and licked the snow off his mouth, revealing his teeth.

Then he stretched out his right arm and held it on the wine gourd next to him, which was also covered in snow.

When the gourd stopper is removed, the aroma of wine is strong in the snow.

The snowman shook his head, his movements were violent, and some of the snow was thrown directly onto Ye Xiu's body.

Only then did Ye Xiu see clearly that the snowman turned out to be an old man with messy hair and a red nose.

The old man took the wine gourd and poured it into his mouth for a long time, but not a drop of wine came out.

The old man had no choice but to put the gourd close to his nose and smell it, then closed his eyes and put the gourd aside.

I have to sleep in the wind and snow again.

Ye Xiu said kindly: "Old man, the snow is so heavy, don't you change places?" ”

The old man's eyes didn't open, and his voice was drunk and hazy: "How drunk is the fallen leaves, why don't you be drunk, boy, if you are really worried that I will freeze to death, go and get me a jar of wine." ”

Ye Xiu shook his head helplessly, picked up the wine gourd beside the old man, and pushed open the door of Shilixiang.

There were few guests on a snowy day, Ye Xiu had just entered the restaurant, and the shopkeeper greeted him directly with a smile: "What kind of wine and what kind of food do guests want?" ”

Ye Xiu put the gourd on the table: "The best wine, fill this gourd." ”

When the shopkeeper saw the gourd, he was stunned for a moment, then took the wine jug, and said: "It's the beggar's gourd at the door, you are really kind-hearted, and the beggar doesn't want anything else, so he wants wine." ”

"On such a cold day, are you going to let him freeze outside?"

The shopkeeper sighed: "We are in business, once or twice, but we can't rely on us all day long, besides, he is dressed so sloppily, and his clothes taste very bad, how can he let him enter the store and affect business." ”

Ye Xiu nodded: "What the shopkeeper said is, fill the wine jug first, and then add a jar of ten mile incense." ”
