"Hurry up, it's really snowing!"

In the empty field, the twilight clouds are heavy, and the ashes are pressed down. From time to time, the north wind whistled like a whistle, as if it would bring heavy snow at any moment.

It's the spring season, but it's like you're in the middle of winter.

This kind of heavenly power is that the hares and goshawks that can be seen everywhere in the north are hidden, but on the winding official road, there is still a fleet of horses, walking alone in Yuyu.

When you get closer, you can see that although this carriage looks simple, it is a solid Quartet official car, under the green curtain car, the carriage is very strong, and the fierce war carriage is fast and stable. In the car, there was no noise except the sound of wheeling.

Cheng Yuguan was in such a bleak climate, lying comfortably sideways in the carriage, wearing a soft close-fitting jacket, covered with a thick coat, and was warmed by the small stove in the middle of the carriage, drunk and half asleep.

Suddenly, Li Mian called out, and there was a gentle patter on his shoulder, which made Cheng Yuguan wake up in a daze.

Cheng Yuguan didn't have time to rub his eyes, so he got up and lifted the cotton curtain on the carriage window, and leaned on the carriage window to look out.

The snowflakes falling one after another, just like a god doing it in the heavenly palace, laying obstacles for the world.

The sky and the earth were gray, and the crystal snowflakes were falling one after another, and the sound was clear and muffled, but it was so quiet.

"It's beautiful!"

Cheng Yuguan couldn't help but sigh when he saw that everything between heaven and earth seemed to be covered, leaving only snow falling.

Suddenly, the green cotton curtain above his head was lowered, but it was Li Mian who leaned over and covered the window in front of him for Cheng Yuguan.

"It's cold, you're sleeping hot, don't get excited, it'll be uncomfortable for a while."

Li Mian said, pulling Cheng Yuguan to sit down.

"I'll see later. I'm afraid this scene can last all day, and there will be a time for you to watch it. ”

The climate in Bingzhou is bitterly cold, and the beginning of spring and March is still a winter depression. Therefore, snow is not uncommon.

While speaking, Li Mian shook off the fur covered by Cheng Yuguan just now behind her, draped it on Cheng Yuguan's body, and lowered his head to tie it carefully for her.

It all seemed to come naturally.

Cheng Yuguan was drowsy, and looked at the man in front of him who was carefully tying his big cloak.

His eyelashes are so long up close, the bridge of his nose is high, the color of his mouth is pale and even his hairline is natural and smooth, which is simply unsatisfactory.

Looking at it, Cheng Yuguan couldn't help but praise himself in his heart, how could anyone have such a good vision? Pick such a man?

"Look again, it's time to collect money!"

Cheng Yuguan came back to his senses, but saw Li Mianzheng looking at him with a smile.

Cheng Yuguan also smiled stupidly, and blurted out his words, "Lord is rich!" ”

Li Mian's eyes widened in shock, and in a blink of an eye, he stretched out his hand and encircled the person into his arms.

Let Cheng Yuguan lean into his arms and watch, Li Mian didn't have a smile on his face, but the corners of his eyes were curvature.

"If you have money, take a closer look."

Cheng Yuguan was really like this, in Li Mian's arms, looking straight at him.

Until his eyes were sour, and at the moment of blinking, Li Mian sneaked up, and secretly kissed someone's eyelids at the moment when Cheng Yu closed his eyes and rubbed his eyes, and left immediately.

Cheng Yuguan opened his eyes suspiciously.

…

The two laughed on the carriage for a while, and when Cheng Yuguan's sweat fell, they really opened the carriage curtain again and let Cheng Yuguan see the snow.

"Others know how to run into the house when it's raining or snowing, but you're good enough to rush to the house on a snowy day. Isn't it, I found myself a stupid daughter-in-law? ”

Li Mian hung up the curtain and nagged Cheng Yuguan.

Cheng Yuguan just laughed.

When I saw the snow again, I opened my mouth to explain.

"If it weren't for the slippery road on a rainy day, I would have to look for a rainy day when I was in a hurry. It's quiet, the road is spacious, and it's easy to get on the road. In summer, the road is steaming, and it is cooler when it rains, and in winter, it is cold everywhere, so why not rush when it snows? I like it anyway. ”

Cheng Yuguan looked at the snow scene, stretched his hand out of the carriage window, and let the cool snowflakes fall on the palm of his hand.

It was still a grain of salt just now, but now it is a standard six-petal snowflake. It is crystal clear, as if it is more beautiful than all the flowers in the world.

"This snowflake is so pretty, what do you think?"

The snowflakes in the palms of his hands, because of the warmth on Cheng Yuguan's body, melted in an instant.

Therefore, Cheng Yuguan only pointed to the snowflakes on the fur edge of the cuffs for Li Mian to see.

Li Mian really got closer, looked at it carefully for a long time, pointed to the most complete snowflake on it, and said to Cheng Yuguan.

"This one is the best."

The two men quarreled again.

One said that the round hexagon was good-looking, and the other said that the pointed hexagon was good-looking.

…

"Your Highness, the border ahead is the border of the state capital, out of the state, we will reach the boundary of Zhili, we will return to the capital soon."

Outside the carriage, Su Xiyu, dressed in military uniform, reported.

This trip to the state is still the old business of the fourth prince Li Mian - to suppress bandits.

The problem of horse bandits in Bingzhou has been around for a long time.

If it weren't for Jingzhou, which he temporarily went to last time, Li Mian would have gone to Bingzhou to suppress bandits.

This time, I made a special trip to wait for Cheng Yuguan together, and it was not all selfish.

Cheng Yuguan grew up in Bingzhou and did business since he was a child, and his footprints were all over Bingzhou.

Naturally, he is also clear about the horse bandits entrenched everywhere.

Li Mian brought Cheng Yuguan over this time, but in just three months, he washed away the famous and surnamed horse bandit leaders in Bingzhou, and it can be said that this cooperation between the two complements each other.

Naturally, out of the familiar environment and the constraints of the elders in the capital, the two of them were more familiar and casual than they had been in the capital.

…

is about to return to the capital, and the two of them can't help but feel a little reluctant in their hearts.

This is not the state of the world.

The scenery of Bingzhou is open and spacious, which is different from the capital that pays attention to rules and decency everywhere, and it is easier for people to adapt to it.

Seeing Cheng Yuguan fall silent because of Su Xi's words, Li Mian spoke.

"After the New Year, I will find another opportunity to bring you back."

When Cheng Yuguan heard this, he was reluctant to put it away.

"Your Highness said this. You're busy within the palace walls, and I'll be home at any time. ”

Li Mian smiled.

"Also, you're not a boudoir girl who has to be taken everywhere. It's people who break into the world on their own. ”

As he spoke, he remembered that Cheng Yuguan was familiar with the customs of Bingzhou, and shook his head and smiled.

…

As he spoke, the carriage entered the boundary of the capital of Zhili.

But just a few days away, the snowflakes gradually melted into a drizzle, and further on, even the rain disappeared.

The two men got out of the carriage and got on their horses.

It is said that the spring rain in the capital is as expensive as oil, and it can be seen at this time.

The horses galloped, but in most of the day, the two of them went from the snowy world to the warmer and drier foot of the capital.

At this time, it was only half a day after enjoying the snow in the snow a moment ago.

In the blink of an eye, the world changed, and this kind of experience of changing the world in one day can only be experienced by people like them.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled under the city gate, both of them were shocked and felt the same in their hearts.

Packing up their mood, the two dismounted and led their horses into the city.

At this time, it is Shen Shizheng, the sky is about to be dusk, the scenery of the capital is very different from that of Bingzhou, as if the streets of the next world are as lively as ever.

Pedestrians hurried, but they were all curious to rush in one direction.

Cheng Yuguan looked over curiously, wanting to see what was going on at the end of the crowd.

Li Mian gave him a look, and Su Xi went to investigate.

Shaoqing, Su Xi turned, returned.

"Qingfeng Building, Xiaohe Poetry Society, the Five Princes and Miss Xu are betting for a quatrain. Whoever can make a neat next sentence will get a hundred taels of gold. ”

Su Xi spit out an earth-shattering head with an expressionless face.

"A hundred taels? Gold?! ”

Cheng Yuguan exclaimed in surprise when he heard this.

"Miss Xu?"

Li Mian sensed something else wrong.

Cheng Yuguan reacted slowly. The main thing is that gold is too attracted to her.

"Yes, Miss Xu? Isn't it Cheng? ”

Cheng Yuguan also asked Su Xi.

Su Xi's face as if he was paralyzed did not fluctuate, and his tone replied without waves.

"If you return to Miss Yuguan, it is indeed Miss Xu. I didn't hear a word from Miss Cheng Yulou. ”

Oh?

Cheng Yuguan instantly came to his senses, glanced at Li Mian, turned the horse's head tacitly, and went to Qingfeng Building to see the excitement.

How attractive is a hundred taels of gold?

Just look at this time, downstairs in Qingfeng, crowded with people, competing for arguments, hot eyes, and shortness of breath crowd can understand clearly.

Whether it is a peddler or a scholar in a lanthanum shirt, he is eager, looking up at the two principals on the second floor, hoping that he can get the blue eyes of the nobles, and on the other hand, he secretly pretends to be reserved, pretending not to care and whispering to the people around him.

The protagonist of the whisper is naturally the nobleman on the second floor. Compared with the noble five princes, there were even more people in the crowd talking about that Miss Xu.

When Cheng Yuguan heard this, he and Li Mian glanced at each other, both of them looking inexplicable.

Cheng Yuguan followed the crowd's gaze curiously, and sure enough, she was a beautiful woman!

The face is like a silver plate, the eyes are like autumn water, the eyes seem to contain a pool of water, and there seems to be light.

A body of apricot yellow streamer brocade, if others wear it, it may not be lined up. But when she wore it, with that white complexion, she looked more and more extravagant.

turned out to be a beauty comparable to the literary Cheng Yulou!

If Cheng Yulou is a lotus flower standing alone, then this Miss Xu is a rich and unparalleled peony.

"It turned out to be her!"

Beside him, the fourth prince Li Mian suddenly said softly.

Cheng Yuguan looked over.

Li Mian opened his mouth to explain.

"In the south of Yizhou, there is an uncrowned king with a foreign surname, Xu Shiqi, the Duke of Anguo. This Miss Xu should be An Guogong's daughter, Xu Zhiyun. ”

"Oh~"

Cheng Yuguan was stunned.

I see.

"Let's go."

Li Mian spoke, Cheng Yuguan also nodded, no longer looking at the excitement, and turned back.

When I first returned to the capital, I saw that there were still many things to do, and a Xu Zhiyun was not worth wasting their time.

Cheng Yuguan turned around and didn't find that Xu Zhiyun on the second floor accurately found the four princes from the crowd, and saw her together, staring at their backs for a long time.

…

Cheng Mansion, Cheng Yuguan spread out the furs brought by Bingzhou in the Rejuvenation Hall, and let his mother and two sisters-in-law choose.

When the two sisters-in-law were choosing, Chang pulled Cheng Yuguan to speak.

"You went out to do business with the four princes, and remember to bring things for your family. You kid is just sensible, not like the third child. ”

As he spoke, Chang sighed rarely.

Cheng Yuguan was curious.

Chang's everything is not in his heart, what is the matter now, how can he suddenly be so depressed?

Cheng Yuguan was about to ask, but when he saw that the two sisters-in-law heard the words, they had already gathered around, and without waiting for Cheng Yuguan to ask, he told Cheng Yuguan and the four princes what had happened in the past three months when they had been out of Beijing.

It turned out that it was fine at first, everything was as usual.

But since the Duchess An Guo brought her family to Beijing, it seems that everything has changed.

Xu Zhiyun seemed to appear in the air, gradually replacing Cheng Yulou as the first talented woman in the capital, and even surpassing it.

In just three months, the man of the year in the capital has changed from the first talented woman Cheng Yulou to the first daughter of the family, Xu Zhiyun.

The name of the daughter of the first family is naturally not worthy of the name.

Not to mention anything else, the two county lords of Fukuyama do not have such arrogant titles.

But after all, An Guogong has a special identity, so no one really refutes it.

In addition, the An family is hugely rich, and the money and things are sent out like flowing water, and the name of this "first family girl" is gradually confirmed by Xu Zhiyun.

and replaced Cheng Yulou and became the "woman by his side" of the five princes.

"I saw that Xu Zhiyun, and the eyeballs were rolling, and he was not a self-respecting person at all. She fell in love with the five princes, but she took a fancy to the five princes as the most outstanding young man in the capital. Now that the four princes return to Beijing, Yuguan, you have to be careful, then Xu Zhiyun is afraid that he will stick it as usual! ”

The second sister-in-law Qian reminded her openly.

The Chang clan and the Zhao clan didn't even stop it.

It seems that although Qian is straightforward, it is not unreasonable.

Cheng Yuguan swept away the shadow that suddenly appeared in his heart and looked at Chang.

"You said you were worried about the third brother, what's wrong with the third brother?"

Cheng Yuguan's concern for Cheng Lang is the friendship that grew up together. She didn't care about anything else for the time being, and asked the third brother first.

Chang Shi listened, looked pleased, and then sighed.

"It's not that Cheng Yulou is depressed now, and your third brother can't see it, so he rushes to comfort people?"

Zhao continued.

"This is a personal favor, and it comes from communication. Although this Cheng Yulou is a cousin, but the daughter of her mother is not reassuring, Cheng Lang is simple, and she is pinched by the mother and daughter, in the future..."

…

Cheng Yuguan was full of incredible, and was "driven" back to the yard by his mother Chang to rest first.

Returning to his Banpo Hall, Cheng Yuguan couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The Five Princes and Xu Zhiyun?

Cheng Yulou and the third brother?

What is this?

However, the shock is not over.

The next day, Cheng Yuguan entered the palace and saw Xu Zhiyun, who he saw yesterday, waiting in front of the queen's aunt.

Facing Cheng Yuguan, who was shocked and puzzled, the queen smiled and beckoned, pulled Cheng Yuguan to her side, and pointed to Xu Zhiyun who was standing beside her.

"This is Xu Zhiyun, the only daughter of An Guogong, who is very sensible at a young age. I have to serve here in this palace, this flower is the same age, I don't like to play, why bother guarding this palace? ”

The queen said with a wry smile.

Before Cheng Yuguan could speak, Xu Zhiyun opened his mouth with a smile.

"Niangniang is a model for women in the world, and it is also a blessing for courtiers to be able to follow the queen's side and learn some fur. Give this blessing to your courtiers. ”
