Snowflakes the size of goose feathers keep falling. A slightly rich hand grabbed one of them.

Watching the snowflakes melt in his hands, Sima Liang exhaled a breath of heat.

"It's been going down for two days, and it's not stopping. I don't think it will stop tomorrow. ”

Footsteps came, and Becky appeared beside him.

"Lord Wang, come to the hand stove."

"Okay." Sima Liang took the hand stove and continued to look at the snow scene.

After a while, Boa came over. She stood in front of Sima Liang and pulled the other party's cloak. Then leaned on his hand.

"It's the first time I've seen snow that long since I've grown this big."

"In the Jiangnan area, it is indeed rare to be able to go down for so long."

Sima Liang hugged Bao'er and looked at the snow for a while.

I guess I won't be able to get out again today. So what to do today?

Sima Liang watched his subordinates clear the road, and his eyes gradually became distracted.

Yesterday he received a reply from the second prince. The other party was very straightforward and willing to persuade the emperor to postpone the matter of cutting the domain.

Although it is still difficult to determine whether it is true or false, such an answer undoubtedly reassures Sima Liang a lot. At least, the candidate for the next prince will most likely help him.

Will the Father really listen? Or would you be angry because of my behavior?

Then do you want to go to Zhongdu for the New Year?

Sima Liang was entangled. He didn't know if it was a good choice to go to Zhongdu now. However, he would love to talk to the emperor.

Let's go ahead and at least get some of the attitude.

Why don't you go back in the next year?

……

The more Sima Liang thought about it, the more he couldn't make a choice. These changes in him were also discovered by Bao'er at hand.

However, the other party didn't say anything, just quietly accompanied.

After a while, the snow began to lighten.

The road at Sima Liang's door was also swept out by his subordinates. Seeing this, he once again avoided the choice of returning to Zhongdu.

"Bao'er, if the snow stops in the afternoon, let's go to the shipyard. It's nothing, but I haven't been there for a long time, look at the situation over there. ”

"Wherever the husband says to go, he will go." Bao'er and the bird leaned on Sima Liang's hand.

Sima Liang touched Bao'er's hand and smiled.

Time passed, and the snow stopped while eating.

A large woman, gathered around the dining table in the main house, chattered non-stop.

"The snow has stopped, let's go out for a walk in the afternoon."

"No, it's too cold."

"I haven't seen the shop for a long time, isn't it time to take a look?"

"yes, I almost forgot."

……

The shops that the girls had on a whim were basically forgotten. Only Mu Yu still remembers that there is such a business.

Sima Liang didn't express any opinions. Just opened his mouth to eat the food that Xiaobei brought up.

Bao'er put down the dishes and chopsticks and wiped her mouth.

"It's the New Year soon. If you have any items you need, take inventory, and I'll let Xiaobei buy some later. A little later, some vendors won't be open. ”

When it came to the Chinese New Year, a smile appeared on everyone's faces.

"yes, it's almost the New Year. There are some things that are really time to buy. ”

"The first year of the palace, what a joy."

"Next year, there may be a few more babies."

……

Looking at these simple women, Sima Liang was happy. Men are nothing more than well-fed and well-fed, women and children. The rest of the ambitions vary from person to person.

After the lively meal, Sima Liang put on his cloak and set off.

Speaking of which, the last time I went out with Bao'er, it was a long time ago. This is why Sima Liang wants to bring the other party out.

The road inside the city is easy to walk, and it is outside the city. A lot of snow was not cleared.

Stop-and-go all the way, up and down. It took a lot of time for Sima Liang and Bao'er to arrive at the shipyard.

The door of the shipyard, closed. There are only a few footprints left on the steps of the doorway.

"It looks like work has stopped. However, such a cold day is indeed not suitable for work. ”

"It's okay to stop, it's not good if it's frozen. I don't know if these people of Yanbei have enough things to keep warm. Boa said.

Sima Liang has some understanding of this situation. Feng Qi asked early on if work would be stopped when the weather was harsh. He just let the other party decide for himself.

I know that Saki is restless over there, and there are ghosts in Dongfang Jin. Sima Liang didn't have much expectation for whether the ship could be launched early. After all, trade with Saki will stop for a month until February. By the time March comes, many people from Yanbei will go back. Under the handover of the shipyard, it is estimated that a lot of progress will be suspended.

If these times are delayed, there is likely to be some change on the side of the country, and the new shipping channel has not yet been opened. So it's not very important whether you're in a hurry or not.

After the coachman knocked on the door, Sima Liang and Bao'er stood aside and waited.

Creak, the door was opened a crack. Steward Wang, who was tightly wrapped, walked out.

"The prince is good, the princess is good."

"Steward Wang, you're still here. It still looks so tough. Sima Liang looked at the other party.

Steward Wang was a little restrained, and rubbed his hands uneasily.

The prince laughed. Doing things for the old man and the young master is the same everywhere. Let's talk inside, there's no wind outside, it's weird cold. With that, Steward Wang pushed open some doors and motioned for Sima Liang and his party to enter.

Since the work has not started, the snow in the work area has not been cleared, and it looks a little desolate. But in the living area not far away, there is always smoke rising from the cooking, and from time to time you can see a few children running out.

"This shed is very well renovated." Sima Liang looked at the shed with interest.

When it comes to work, Steward Wang has come to the spirit.

"This shed was changed by the young master and the master in discussion. Although the warmth is not particularly good, there is a heater inside, which is good. When it's hot, you can also remove the outside circle for ventilation. It's a good solution. ”

Sima Liang nodded, feeling that this made some sense.

Suddenly, something occurred to him.

"By the way, my ship is not good. It seems that I have heard Feng Qi say it, but I have never had time to forget it. ”

"Husband, did you get a boat yourself?" Boa asked.

"I didn't get it, it was a gift from Feng Qi when we got married, but it wasn't finished at that time, so it was placed here. When I came back before, I heard him mention it. ”

"Well, if it's done, I'd like to see it." For this ship, Boa has some interest.

"The boat is ready, and the contents are almost laid out. However, due to the cold weather, the waterway is not easy to walk, so it has been kept in the shed and has not been put into the water. Steward Wang replied.

"Then let's go check it out." Sima Liang motioned to Steward Wang to lead the way.

"It's the prince."

Sima Liang and his entourage, under the leadership of Steward Wang, bypassed the path on the side of the residential area.

Soon, a few people came to a small shed.

Although it has been completed, it is for better preservation. This shed is also fenced. Steward Wang took out the key and opened the door.

As soon as I entered, a strong smell of paint came in. Choking Delborg walked out again.

Cough.

Cough.

"It's okay." Sima Liang patted Bao'er on the back.

"It's okay, it's just a little unpleasant." Bao'er was outside the shed, and it took a long time for her to recover.

"I'm sorry, the minion forgot, after this last coat of paint, it didn't pass through the wind. I'm sorry, Princess. Steward Wang was a little flustered and almost knelt down, but was stopped by Sima Liang.

"I don't blame you. When the weather is good, you can breathe the wind. We'll have time later, and we'll just take a look. ”

"Yes, it's fine. Just watch it next time. Boa chimed in.

After some twists and turns, several people came to the shipyard living area.

"Let's go in and have a look, I haven't been here in a long time." Sima Liang was the first to walk in.

Looking at these people of Yanbei is one of the purposes of his visit this time.

As soon as the Chinese New Year came soon, Sima Liang wanted to know what these people needed. Second, I want to tell them that Yanbei may not be very stable, and let them think about whether to go back.

Sima Liang knew that the Five Princes and Dongfang Jin would definitely do something. In this way, Yanbei may not be peaceful. He can't manage Yanbei so far away, but he still wants to remind these people right now.

It was cold, and a large number of people were staying inside. There were only a few children playing around on the road. There wasn't much snow on the stone road due to someone clearing.

As Sima Liang and his entourage entered, many people looked at them curiously. When they noticed that it was Sima Liang, many people walked out of the house.

"The prince is good, the princess is good."

……

A large number of greetings, one after another. The stone road, which was originally not wide, was soon blocked and it was impossible to walk.

"Hello everyone, it's been good lately." Sima Liang greeted the people.

"Okay. There is food and drink, and cotton clothes, enough, contentment. ”

"It's not just good, it's great. In a few days, Young Master Feng will give some New Year's goods. ”

"Yes, these are all blessings from the prince."

……

The simple and simple compliments made Sima Liang feel that his kindness was not in vain.

"Okay. You probably haven't seen this before, but many of you have guessed it. Still, I'd like to introduce it. My side concubine, Tang Bao'er. Sima Liang stretched out his hand and gestured to Bao'er beside him.

A lot of eyes fell on Bao'er's face.

"Princess Tang, it's so beautiful."

"The princess and the prince are really a good match."

"Princess, it looks like a blessing."

……

The people's gaze and compliments made Bao'er a little shy. However, she still tried to hold on, and she was still very decent on the surface.

"Everybody's a bad one."

Sima Liang and Bao'er's approachable appearance makes the people feel closer. Many people brought some things from home as gifts.

Of course, Sima Liang didn't accept it. After all, they are all ordinary things, although they are intentions, but it is really useless to take them back. It's better to let the people use it themselves.

It seems that there is no problem with the necessities of life.

According to the behavior and physiognomy given by the people, Sima Liang's first purpose was redundant.

So he stated his second purpose.

"Yanbei may have turmoil again in the coming year, of course I'm not sure if it's true. I will talk more about the specific reasons. Of course, I'm not forcing you to stay. If you want to leave, you can still leave after the New Year. ”
