bamboo horse prince

When it comes to New Year's Eve, Yao'er doesn't know if she is happy recently, and her work is much more efficient, and she has arranged everything in the house early.According to her closeness, she gave gifts to the members of the Yang family one by one, and personally handed out congratulatory cards to the homes of several colleagues who had good friends with Yang Nian, inviting them to gather together, but everyone else declined, only Jiang Ruofeng agreed. .

"Isn't there still food to give tonight?" Ren Xiaoxiao's appetite grew bigger and bigger, she sat in the kitchen and ate openly, "Why do you prepare so much?"

"Oh, Mrs. Shi," Yao'er moved aside a plate of pastries that Ren Xiaoxiao was about to start, "I found this one from an inquiry, Master Jiang's favorite pancake, you eat this, this is ordered by the young master .”

"Okay," Ren Xiaoxiao took another set, "Why do you care so much about that Jiang Ruofeng? He's thin and weak, and he's just barely tall."

"I think those generals who are five big and three rough are afraid."

"Yao'er, you've been following Yang Nian for so long, so it's not interesting?" Ren Xiaoxiao finally asked what she had been curious about.

"What if the prince heard what you said?"

"I'm not afraid, brother Cheng won't care." Ren Xiaoxiao couldn't help shaking her head when she thought of what Li Sheng said to her back then, how could he be so generous.

"I have followed the young master since I was a child. It is impossible to say that it is not interesting, but seeing that the young master and the prince are so good, the little thoughts I had are gone."

"That makes sense," Ren Xiaoxiao nodded, of course she understood this matter the most, but Yao'er was indeed much smarter than herself, so she knew not to let Yang Nian worry.

"Besides, I'm just a little girl. I'm grateful to have the young master's protection. How can I dare to climb higher."

"I think your heart is higher than the sky. Jiang Ruofeng is so trusted by brother Sheng, and his future is boundless. It may not be worse than Yang Nian."

Yao'er was guessed, smiled and went to work again.

Jiang Ruofeng arrived at Yang's Mansion with a few bags of dry goods and two catties of fresh meat.Yao'er couldn't help laughing when she saw this. The Yang family is a big family, and the gifts they usually receive are not gold, silver and precious stones, but rare and exotic objects. This Mr. Jiang is really new. She understands why Mr. Jiang is always unable to get promoted. up.

Yang Nian didn't care, and took the two catties of fresh meat, "Just treat this as your own, don't be restrained."

Jiang Ruofeng nodded, always feeling that the little girl standing next to Yang Nian was looking at him all the time, Master Jiang, who had seen the big world, felt a little embarrassed, and followed Yang Nian with his head down.

"Let me chat with Mr. Jiang, you can build a pot of tea for us." After Yang Nian ordered Yao'er, he said to Jiang Ruofeng, "I know you are good at rhythm, I happen to have a Guqin at home, let's appreciate it together?"

"Very good." Jiang Ruofeng smiled.

When Shi Lingxin came back, Ren Xiaoxiao was waiting outside the house with her big belly, complaining, "Why are you coming back so late?"

"The adults from the Ministry of War insisted on dragging me to the restaurant," Shi Ling felt impatient when he thought about it, "Why are you standing here, is it cool?"

Ren Xiaoxiao wore a fox fur coat and wrapped it warmly, "It's not cold, Yang Nian and the others talk about history and Taoism, it's really boring, I'll come out to get some air."

"Shall I play marbles with you?" Shi Lingxin tilted his head and smiled, showing two canine teeth.

Ren Xiaoxiao pressed the knuckles of her index finger to her lips, trying to hide the smile on her lips, "Okay."

Unexpectedly, snowflakes fell one after another, quietly covering the whole world.

Li Sheng stopped at the entrance of Yang's Mansion, looked up, saw a thin layer of snow on the plaque of Yang's Mansion, and felt a little sentimental.

"Oh, I seem to see the prince." Yao'er's voice came from afar.

Li Sheng waved his hand towards the inside, stepped over the threshold, and saw Yao'er moved the dining table into the main hall, maybe it was to enjoy the snow, Yang Nian always likes to do such elegant things.

Shi Lingxin was building a snowman outside while dodging Ren Xiaoxiao's snowball attack, while Yao'er was standing behind Jiang Ruofeng shaking off a cloak.

As for Yang Nian, Yang Nian was standing at the door, smiling slightly at himself, waiting.

Maybe it was because of the cold, Li Sheng's eye sockets were slightly wet, he always felt that he had seen this scene before in a dream, or experienced it in a previous life.The sense of familiarity made him quicken his pace.

"Brother Cheng!" Before Ren Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Li Sheng was hit by a snowball.

Ren Xiaoxiao didn't think that Li Sheng would be hit so easily, she was taken aback, and jumped behind Yang Nian in two steps, it was hard for her to act so flexibly as a pregnant woman.

Yang Nian laughed and stretched out his arms to protect Ren Xiaoxiao, "My lord, don't be as knowledgeable as her." But Yang Nian was not a cheap lamp, he winked at Li Sheng.

Li Sheng understood the spirit, smiled, bent down, rolled a snowball, and with a little strength, smashed Shi Lingxin into the snowman's head.

Shi Lingxin was caught off guard and looked at everyone in shock.

Everyone laughed and made noise, and played for nearly half an hour before the banquet started.

Yao'er cooked a large table of dishes according to everyone's preferences, and put them next to their respective seats. Even so, Li Sheng had the right to pretend that Yang Nian didn't have long hands, and put them all in his bowl.

Ren Xiaoxiao felt that they were disgusting, and just as she was about to tease her, she saw a hill piled up in her bowl.

"Master Jiang, don't you like it?" Yao'er's voice was timid.

Jiang Ruofeng waved his hand, "It's delicious!" Then he added, "It's the best meal I've ever had."

Yao'er covered her mouth and giggled, Jiang Ruofeng's heart skipped a beat with her gleaming eyes.

Yang Nian looked at the two of them like this, and leaned into Li Sheng's ear, "If we hadn't grown up, would you still like me?"

"I don't know," Li Sheng replied in a low voice, "but there is no such thing as that."

Yang Nian knew that Li Sheng wouldn't deliberately make up some pleasant lies to deceive himself, but he wanted to hear something satisfactory.Of course he felt that these children were hypocritical, but he couldn't help asking.

"It's enough for me to like you now." Li Sheng said in a low voice as if he had seen through Yang Nian.

After a while, the people sent out from the harem brought a few dishes, not as delicate as the imperial dishes, even a bit ordinary, but they were all made by Yang Feng'er himself.

Yang Nian was moved, took a big mouthful, and swallowed it directly into his mouth without chewing, but was still choked by the pungent spicy so that tears flowed down his face, "Give it to me."

The guard also brought a sentence, "The Empress said that if you dare to save a little, you will never be spared."

Li Sheng clapped his hands and laughed, "Sister Feng'er has practiced so hard for so many years, Yang Nian, don't waste it."

That night, everyone drank to their heart's content.

Li Sheng lay on the bed with Yang Nian in his arms, calming down the aftermath of the past.

"Next year," Yang Nian said, "is a very critical period of time. You have to take advantage of the emperor's desire to check and balance your relatives, gain a foothold in the court, and arrange our people into key positions."

"Ah."

"Li Sheng, I don't know why, but I always feel that we can do it."
