Your Majesty, it's polite

The cold wind was fierce, and the snow was falling heavily. In one night, the inside and outside of Kyoto were covered with silver makeup, and the whistling north wind hit people's faces like a fan.

Tang Yunshu stepped into Prince Jiu's mansion, wearing a thick cloak to block all the cold, even so, his face was still red from the cold.

Throughout the courtyard, the guards were shoveling off the snow with large shovels and cleaning up the entire courtyard.

They had salted last night, and the snow wasn't hard to clear.

Salt is very expensive, but for Prince Jiu's Mansion, no matter how expensive it is.

Seeing Tang Yunshu, the butler hurriedly saluted: "My lord, the master is in the main room."

The current housekeeper and all the servants have treated Tang Yunshu as respectful as another master of Prince Nine's Mansion.

"Ah."

Tang Yunshu patted him on the shoulder and walked towards the main courtyard.

Xiao Yiting was resting on the couch in the house, he said he was resting, but he was actually reading a book.

A ground cage was placed not far from the couch, and with the slight crackling sound, all the chill was dispersed outside the room.

"So free?"

A person who is usually so busy that he can't wait to give birth to three heads and six arms, is so elegant today that he is warming himself by the fire.

Xiao Yiting put down the book in his hand, and patted the empty seat beside the couch: "Come here and warm up."

Handing the cloak to Mahayana, Tang Yunshu sat on the couch with his legs bent, and stretched out his hands to approach the fire cage.

Xiao Yiting saw that his cheeks were flushed and felt that he was very cold, so he sat up in shock.

"Why is it so cold?"

She hugged him from behind, gently cupping his face in her warm hands, warming him with the temperature in her palms.

The thoughtful gesture made Tang Yunshu feel a warm current in his heart, and said with a smile, "It's really cold today."

"Don't go back today."

In such a cold day, you should stay at home to keep warm. Running around is easy to get cold.

Tang Yunshu leaned back against his chest, squinting comfortably: "I'm afraid it won't work."

Tang Yunshu paused slightly with his hand caressing his face, and continued to move: "But what's the matter?"

"Sister Zou came to Beijing. She was supposed to arrive last month. Later, she postponed the date. It's just these two days."

"Just send someone to pick him up at the city gate, and the Zou family is still here."

"Of course I know, it's just that grandma insisted on letting me pick it up to show grandeur. It was the same with Uncle Zou and his son when they came to the capital last time. To put it bluntly, grandma made me do it so thoughtfully because she was afraid that something might happen to Fifth Brother's marriage. "

If it wasn't for his elder brother being outstanding enough, the Tang family would never even think about marrying the Zou family's daughter in eight lifetimes.

It's okay to be considerate in everything.

As long as the marriage between brother and sister Zou can be successful, then he doesn't care.

Listening to the cold wind howling outside, Xiao Yiting felt distressed: "It's so cold outside, just let Mahayana go."

"It's okay, at worst, I'll just put a fire plate by the side."

It's just a little cold, but he doesn't take it seriously.

Thinking of something, Tang Yunshu turned his head and looked at him with a smile, his eyebrows and eyes were full of interest: "How about we have a snowball fight tonight?"

The snow is still falling outside, and it must be interesting to have a snowball fight at night.

Speaking of growing up, he has never played in the snow.

Xiao Yiting frowned slightly, and resolutely refused: "No, how cold the weather is, how can you bear it."

Yun Shu just came to Kyoto from the south, and his body couldn't bear the weather here.

Tang Yunshu looked outside and the snowflakes were falling again, pursing his lips, thinking that he must play in the snow tonight.

He liked the heavy snow yesterday, and when he got up this morning, if his grandmother hadn't dragged him, he would have jumped into the snowdrift.

Putting his arms around his shoulders, Tang Yunshu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm in excellent health."

Xiao Yiting held his slender wrist, rubbed it lightly, and then took out a bracelet for him to wear.

Tang Yunshu felt a chill on his hand, and was surprised when he looked down and saw the bracelet.

The bracelet is made of pure gold by hand, the style is very simple, the golden dragon is majestic and domineering, the auspicious beast is exquisite, lifelike, and the craftsmanship is very exquisite.

Xiao Yiting flipped the bracelet lightly, with a wide smile in his eyes: "This bracelet has our names in it."

Tang Yunshu caressed the bracelet lightly, and found two strong and timeless characters engraved on the inside: Ting Shu.

"You carved it?"

"Ah."

With his chin resting on his shoulder bone, Xiao Yiting lightly rubbed the back of his hand with his fingertips, not forgetting to pinch his palm.

Tang Yunshu caressed the dragon pattern on the bracelet, thinking that it was carved by himself, it had a different meaning.

The snow fell more and more. At noon, the courtyard that had just been cleaned in the morning was covered with snow again. There was thick snow under the eaves, on the corners of the corridors, and on the ground.

Looking at the snow in the yard, Tang Yunshu's hands were already itchy. It just so happened that several officials outside came to look for Xiao Yiting, saying they had something important to discuss.

It was rare that he was not around, so Tang Yunshu immediately threw himself into the snowdrift and happily played with the snow.

Mahayana exclaimed: "Young master, put on your gloves first."

Playing in the snow in such cold weather without gloves will frostbite your hands.

Tang Yunshu thought about it, and continued to pinch the snowball after putting on the gloves.

Mahayana hurriedly recruited a maid, and asked her to go to the kitchen to let the chef prepare ginger soup, and the master could have a bowl later.

He piled up all the snow with both hands, and after photographing it, he slowly carved out a pony. He did not forget to use two black dates as eyes, and randomly scratched the mane with twigs.

He is so playful that he doesn't care about the cold weather. Rabbits and pigs are not fast, so he just plays slowly.

It has been half an hour since Xiao Yiting came out after finishing his work, looking at Tang Yunshu who was enjoying himself in the yard, he felt helpless and helpless.

Tang Yunshu looked up to see him, and grinned: "Ting, hurry up and help me, I want to build a palace."

"The palace?"

Xiao Yiting came to his side, took the gloves from Qingquan and put them on.

"Come here!"

Tang Yunshu piled up the corridors, and he didn't forget to use a few sticks to draw the lines on the eaves, which was so wonderfully carved.

Xiao Yiting squatted next to him, and said with a smile: "Yun Shu, the palace is too difficult to build. Let's make a simple one and build the Great Wall."

Tang Yunshu thought for a while, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, then you pile up the mountains first."

"Ah."

Xiao Yiting touched his cheek with his face, and after finding out that he wasn't too cold, he scooped up the snow next to him and started.

Mingyue and Qingquan swept the snow in front of them and found some props for them.

Tang Yunshu saw that the people next to him were piled up seriously, and his cold hands suddenly cupped his face as if they were playing.

"Yun Shu."

Xiao Yiting was caught off guard and shivered more and more from the cold, but Tang Yunshu was amused.

With a hearty and innocent smile gloating at other people's misfortune, Xiao Yiting pinned him down in the snowdrift, lowered his head and bit his Adam's apple.

The cold came wrapped in scorching heat, which made Tang Yunshu shiver. He turned over and sat on him, panting and looking at him.

Xiao Yiting supported his waist, and said in a playful and ambiguous tone, "Yun Shu got what he wanted."

what?

After Tang Yunshu was stunned, he realized what he meant, grabbed his chin and glared at him.

"Xiao Mian, dare to tease your grandfather, let's see how I deal with you."

Picking up a lump of snow next to him and trying to stuff it into his mouth, who would have thought that the world would spin, and then realize that he was thrown into a snowdrift.

Unconvinced, Tang Yunshu got up, picked up the snow and threw it on him, laughed loudly and said, "See if I won't clean you up today."

"Yun Shu, you have to take care of yourself."

Xiao Yiting was also polite, grabbed the snowball and threw it at him.

Tang Yunshu dodged, squeezed out a snowball and attacked again, his movements were neat and crisp.

The two were having a snowball fight in the yard, the snowflakes were fluttering, and hearty smiles resounded throughout Prince Jiu's mansion.

The maids and guards not far away were dumbfounded when they saw the master with a hearty smile in the snow.

When had their ruthless master laughed so heartily.

Sure enough, Mr. Tang is a different existence.

The two were tired from playing, so they went back to the house to warm up by the fire. After sitting down, they knew that their hands and feet were frozen stiff, and even their faces were like ice cubes.

Mingyue, Mahayana wiped their faces and hands with hot towels, and drank a bowl of ginger soup to avoid the cold.

Tang Yunshu had a great time, and smiled with Qingquan: "Qingquan, bring me sweet potatoes, it's a pity not to roast sweet potatoes with such a prosperous charcoal fire."

Qingquan turned his head and told the guards on the side to go to the kitchen to get it.

Xiao Yiting wiped his face and neck for himself, and then helped Tang Yunshu warm his neck.

When the two returned to the house, they changed their clothes and their bodies became warm again.

The sweet potatoes were delivered soon, Tang Yunshu used a torch to open a little place, put four sweet potatoes on it and roasted them slowly.

Xiao Yiting held his hand, his pupils reflected scorching coals: "You know, Yun Shu, Wei Sheng is going to marry a wife."

what. .

Tang Yunshu was surprised: "Which unlucky guy is he looking for?"

My darling, my wife has only been dead for a few days, and she has married again.

If Yao shi wanted to know, he might jump out and bite him to death.

Xiao Yiting sneered: "Looking at each other in secret, even Cheng Guogong didn't know about it. The daughter of the servant in the Ministry of War is twenty-two in his thirties. He was married once, and he has a ten-year-old daughter with him."

"If Cheng Guogong knows, I'm afraid he will be torn apart."

His granddaughter's bones were not cold, and she was less than a month old, and she actually planned to find another family.

I have to say that he really deserves to be his scumbag father. He is not good at being an official, and he can't use his wife's combat effectiveness.

Xiao Yiting turned Sweet Potato over and said indifferently, "If his guess is correct, he has already found out that Yao's death was done by Duke Cheng."

Otherwise, with Wei Sheng's loyalty to Duke Cheng, it would be impossible.

Even his own granddaughter can give up and give up, how can Wei Sheng not be afraid.

"It made him smart for a while, how is that woman's temperament?"

Scumbags always do things that are new and unique, making it impossible to guard against.

Tang Yunshu never underestimated anyone, including reconciled or abandoned women, everyone has his right fate.

"It's not bad, and her temperament is also gentle. Generally speaking, she's better than Yao Shi."

"Then he can't marry this family."

Xiao Yiting was a little puzzled: "Why?"

Tilting his head to look at him, Tang Yunshu smiled gloatingly: "It's very simple, Wei Sheng has nothing to do with a good woman."

If he really knew how to cherish, he would not have abandoned his wife and children back then and ended up like this.

To be able to communicate with Wei Sheng, Zhong Shi Lang is not an honest official.

Xiao Yiting didn't say anything, and felt that it made sense.

The fire is hot, and the sweet potatoes are naturally roasted quickly. Xiao Yiting wrapped the sweet potatoes in a silk handkerchief, peeled them and handed them to Tang Yunshu: "Try it, this is also a tribute from the south. It is different from sweet potatoes from other places. It is very sweet."

Tang Yunshu tasted it, and it burned his mouth very much. A sweet potato smell wafted in his mouth, his eyes lit up immediately, and he handed it to him: "Taste it."

Xiao Yiting would never dislike him, so he smacked his mouth where he bit, exhaled steam from the corner of his mouth, and nodded: "It's really good."

Putting the remaining four sweet potatoes in the vacant space, Xiao Yiting carefully peeled the sweet potatoes for him.

In the afternoon, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, Xiao Yiting asked the guards to wait at the city gate, and Miss Zou came to report as soon as she appeared.

Such heavy snow coming to Beijing is indeed quite choking.
