As the weather became colder and colder, Lin Mozhu's stomach grew bigger day by day.In order to accompany Lin Mozhu, Yang Fan turned down everything.However, although he also stayed at home during this period of time, he was still well informed about the news from the outside world.

The third prince was suddenly read a book by the censor in the court, saying that he competed with the people for profit, allowed his subordinates to collect people's fat everywhere, and exposed what Zhao Xinyuan did in Chihu County.It is said that he oppressed local businessmen to accept bribes forcibly, and used his official position to persecute other people who were unwilling to cooperate. Now Chihu County is full of complaints.Now the local wealthy families have united to sue Zhao Xinyuan for bending the law for personal gain, embezzlement and bribery.

Zhao Xinyuan's position as the magistrate of Chihu County was recommended by the third prince, so even if the third prince said on the spot that Zhao Xinyuan's actions were not ordered by him and he knew nothing about what happened in Chihu County, Emperor Hongframe still reprimanded him He, and ordered to investigate Zhao Xin

yuan.

Yang Fan received the news at the first time, and when he saw the news, he knew that the drama had begun.

The local clans in Chihu County are intertwined, and they are huddled together, almost unshakable.Only Zhao Xinyuan, who is eager for quick success and quick profit, is eager to make meritorious service in front of the third prince, so he will provoke them regardless of the consequences.This gave King Ning a very good handle, using these forces to find such a breakthrough.

Yes, when he saw the letter, Yang Fan combined the letter that Pei Ningyuan had written to him before, and immediately guessed that it was written by King Ning.Moreover, there is also the shadow of the Pei family.Now, he doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to introduce Pei Ningyu to King Ning.

Just as he was deep in thought, suddenly there was an exclamation from outside, "It's snowing!"

Hearing this, Yang Fan raised his head and looked out of the window. Sure enough, snowflakes began to flutter outside at some point.The snow is not heavy, and it floats down sparsely.This was the first snow since the beginning of winter this year, but it was only October. When they were in Fuyuan County before, it usually snowed only in the twelfth lunar month.

The wind mixed with a biting cold came in through the window, Yang Fan shivered, and hurried out of the study to the bedroom.After entering the house, Yang Fan immediately ordered the maids: "Close the doors and windows, add two more braziers in the room, and then bring in a basin of water."

"Yes." The maids responded and hurriedly followed suit.

In the room, Lin Mozhu sat on the Arhat bed, with a charcoal brazier in front of him, and a soft silk quilt covering his legs.Seeing Yang Fan coming in, he said helplessly, "Brother Yang, I know how to take care of myself, so go about your business."

Yang Fan also sat down on Arhat's bed, held his hand, and said, "What do I have to do? Why are your hands so cold?"

?,,

Before Lin Mozhu could say anything more, Yang Fan raised his voice and ordered: "Chunhua, go get a hand warmer!"

Chunhua responded and went to the ear room to search.

Lin Mozhu's hand was held in the warm palm by Yang Fan, and his cold fingers were warmed a little bit. He gently said to Yang Fan, "It's your hand that's hot." He is more afraid of the heat than ordinary people, but it is a natural stove in winter, and it is very warm when he sleeps in his arms at night.

While talking, Chunhua had already found the hand warmer, filled it with hot water, wrapped it in a brocade cover, and brought it in.Yang Fan took it and put it in Lin Mozhu's hand. Although Lin Mozhu felt helpless, he obediently took it and held it in his hand.

"Will Uncle Master come over today?" Thinking that today is the day when Liu Ping came to see him, Lin Mozhu was a little worried: "It's snowing outside, and the road is not easy to walk."

"Don't worry, I'll ask Qi Ming and Liu Dayong to pick him up later."

"He couldn't take a good rest on his holiday. In fact, I'm fine. I don't need him to work so hard every time." Lin Mozhu always felt sorry. Liu Ping was an elder, but he had to come here every time.

On this point, Yang Fan didn't have to discuss it, he said: "Don't worry, I'll send someone to collect some rare books and good inks and bring them back." When it came to giving gifts, Lin Mozhu couldn't help laughing.Ever since he knew Liu Ping's hobby, in order to thank him for taking care of Lin Mozhu, Yang Fan gave him gifts every three days, a calligraphy and painting box today and a box of good ink the next, never letting Liu Ping go back empty-handed every time.Liu Ping was embarrassed to accept it at first, but those gifts from Yang Fan were so rare, every time he had to ruthlessly refuse them, he refused to accept Yang Fan and forced them to be sent to his house.For this reason, when Liu Heng came with him last time, he joked that when Lin Mozhu's child was born, his father's study room could become a treasure house.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, the two were talking, when Liu Heng's familiar voice came from outside: "Brother Yang, junior brother, I'm here!

"

Yang Fan hurriedly got up and went to the door to greet him, and saw Qingyu leading Liu Heng just walking from the courtyard door.Yang Fan was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

Liu Heng walked to the corridor, took off his cloak and hat, shook the snow off his body, and said, "My father was called into the palace this morning,

If he didn't worry, he let me come over and take a look. "

Yang Fan led him into the room, and the maids stepped forward to help Liu Heng take off his cloak.The heating in the room instantly warmed Liu Heng's frozen face and limbs, and he sighed comfortably: "Your room is well-made, and the heating is sufficient."

Yang Fan poured him a cup of hot tea and asked him to hold warm hands.After resting for a while, Liu Heng took Lin Mozhu's pulse, "How's your appetite recently? What do you usually eat?"

Yang Fan replied: "It's better than before, and the amount of food is about the same as before pregnancy. Is it too little?" Then he explained in detail what Lin Mozhu ate all day.

After listening, Liu Heng nodded and said, "You don't need to eat so much at this stage. I just took the pulse of my junior brother, and his pulse is stable, so just keep it like this."

Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Afterwards, the two chatted about which supplements were more suitable for Lin Mozhu at this stage, but Lin Mozhu, who was the person involved, sat there the whole time without letting him speak.This scene has happened frequently since he was pregnant, and he is used to it.For Yang Fan's behavior that is more caring than himself, besides being helpless, he is more heart-warming and sweet.

After finishing talking, it was almost time for lunch, so Yang Fan asked Liu Heng to come down for dinner.Liu Heng was about the same age as Lin Mozhu, and after getting acquainted with Yang Fan and the others a few times, he was not so reserved. He nodded and agreed without any hesitation, and ordered food to them without treating himself as an outsider at all: "I'm greedy for your family The hot pot in the restaurant has been around for a long time, I wonder if I can have it today?"

Since the weather got cold, Zhiwei Restaurant has launched hot pot. This kind of food is very suitable for eating in winter. Once it was launched, it became popular in the whole capital.Because of the deliberate crowding out of Dongxing Restaurant, the lack of business in the restaurant has become an old calendar.Nowadays, the business of Zhiwei Restaurant is even hotter than when it first opened, and even if you go late, you can't get a seat.Liu Heng had eaten once before and couldn't stop thinking about it. A few days ago, he wanted to go to the restaurant to eat again, but when he sent someone to make a reservation, he was told that there were no private rooms.

Yang Fan smiled at Liu Heng: "There may not be anything else, but there will definitely be hot pot."

In the past, Lin Mozhu didn't show any special interest in hot pot. Since she was pregnant, her taste has also changed. There is almost nothing spicy or distasteful, and she especially likes spicy hot pot.For this reason, after Yang Fan consulted Liu Ping and got permission to eat in moderation, he would arrange a hot pot meal for Lin Mozhu every now and then to satisfy his cravings.It is also very simple to eat hot pot at their house. They send someone to the restaurant to get the hot pot base made that day, and then bring back some favorite side dishes, light up a small stove, put a copper pot on it, and start eating.

Mandarin Duck Hot Pot, clear soup and spicy at the same time, the three of them sat around and made enough food by themselves.Yang Fan saw that Lin Mozhu's lips were red and bright, so he would boil some clear soup for him whenever he saw the opportunity.Although Liu Ping said that he can eat spicy food, it is not good to get angry if he eats too much. Yang Fan has to pay attention every time, not to let him eat too much.

Seeing half a bowl of mutton and cabbage boiled in clear soup in his bowl, Lin Mozhu wrinkled his nose, a little disgusted, but he did not refuse.The signature secret dipping sauce produced by Ji Xiyan is still delicious even if it is boiled in clear soup.Lin Mozhu didn't have a big appetite, and he was full after a while, holding a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and sipping to relieve the spicy food.

In addition to the fruit juice, there was a plate of more than ten kinds of fruits in front of him. The fruits were all washed, peeled and cut into small pieces, and then eaten with silver sticks.Liu Heng also has a special liking for the spicy pot bottom, he ate happily while inhaling "hissing", seeing Lin Mozhu holding the juice and drinking it with a satisfied face, he quickly stuffed a piece of watermelon into his mouth to relieve it hot.While chewing on the sweet watermelon, Liu Heng sighed enviously: "You are really a paradise here, you can eat so many fruits this season."

Especially the glass of orange juice, which is the only fruit in Nanshao country, because Lin Mozhu likes to eat this, Yang Fan was afraid that he would make his teeth hurt from eating too much, so he asked someone to squeeze it into juice for him to drink.An adult's fist-sized orange, four or five oranges are just squeezed into a cup.Lin Mozhu took a sip, and Yang Fan asked him considerately, "Do you want more? Shall I ask someone to squeeze you another cup?"

Eating more fruits is good for your health. Lin Mozhu’s favorite fruits are not only stored in the ice cellar in the capital, but also stored in his space.Lin Mozhu can eat so much that he won't be able to finish it by this time next year.

After eating and drinking, and doing it for a while, Liu Heng got up to leave.Yang Fan sent him out, and when he reached the gate of the courtyard, Yang Fan suddenly asked, "Is there something for uncle to enter the palace?"

Liu Heng looked around and found that the servants were far away, so he lowered his voice and said, "The emperor is ill."

Censor's impeachment of the third prince happened just this morning, and the emperor felt uncomfortable when he was in court. Liu Ping, who was originally Muxiu at home today, was called into the palace.

Hearing what he said, Yang Fan's eyes shrank, and the next moment his expression recovered, he nodded to Liu Heng and didn't speak.After sending him to the gate, Yang Fan turned around and went back after seeing him get into the carriage.
