Convinced by the crying bag beauty

"Explain what, what is there to explain? Your mother loves you so much, and she loves you as much as she loves me. Does it need to be said whether she wants a daughter and son-in-law or an old lover?"

"What old lover, you are not allowed to slander my mother."

Wei Pingxi put his arms around her waist and stood in front of the window admiring the wind and snow outside: "Where is the slander, your mother admires Ji Yunzhang, isn't that what you admit personally."

"Then don't talk about old lovers."

"Okay, then little lover."

"..."

Yu Zhi was so angry that he wanted to bite her.

Think about it, her teeth are not as good as Miss Fourth's. It's not worthwhile to bite someone and get bitten back.

She pressed this thought.

"The north wind is blowing and the snow is blowing. This cold day is suitable for eating hot pot."

"really."

Yu Zhi was born in the south, and it is rare to see heavy winter snow. The two of them lay in front of the window and watched the snow like an ignorant little girl, and they didn't think it was cold.

The wind blew over their fair faces, and she said: "What kind of person do you think Princess Yunzhang is? Will she make A Niang sad for nothing?"

"Ji Yunzhang, my aunt and she are close friends. When referring to this eldest princess, she only said the words 'love and sex'. There are not many people in the world who can be praised by my aunt like this."

Wei Ping laughed and said, "Auntie is an affectionate person, and Princess Yunzhang can't be too bad to be friends with her. You forgot, she and Auntie came together to save us last time."

"I thought you forgot."

"How can I forget the grace of saving my life?"

"Didn't I forget that you and A Niang wrote a letter to complain?"

"One size fits all. She threatened me, and I made trouble for her, which is very reasonable."

Fourth Miss smiled slyly: "Besides, I'm helping her."

"Help her? Help her trouble?"

"What's trouble? How can a person live without trouble? It's not trouble, but meeting strangers. As far as old friends are concerned, it's better to meet and quarrel than to be silent. Your mother, um... naturally I'm a little dumb..."

Yu Zhi stabbed her with his elbow.

Wei Pingxi didn't have the same knowledge as her: "This is a good opportunity to come to your door to help the two of you have a long talk."

She feels that she is a good person with a big heart.

If she hadn't been born really well, Yu Zhi would be ashamed to look at her.

In fact, it makes sense to follow her way of thinking, A Niang is not sensitive enough in love, otherwise she would not understand the love in her heart until her father died.

She raised a smile: "You understand very well."

"Generally understand."

Miss Wei Si was complacent, and took her concubine's hand to go out to eat hot pot.

If you eat hot pot in winter, you have to go to a place with many people. It is boring to eat at home, without the simple taste of the market.

They wanted to go out, and the four brothers of the Yan family also wanted to join in the fun, but the old lady reprimanded them with the sentence "No wonder they can't find a daughter-in-law until now".

In the winter of the capital, there is heavy snow, and the cold has a breath of ice and snow. The world is vast, covered with silver, and then descends from a high place, breaking away from the loneliness of the high place, which is the bustling and very noisy market.

The common people live and work in peace and contentment, and no matter how cold the wind and frost are, they can't stop their enthusiasm for living at home.

There is Baihu Street in Lingnan Prefecture, and there is Xueshou Street in Beijing.

Sweeping Snow Street comes from "Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door", which is about everyone being wise and protecting themselves and not caring about other people's business.

But obviously His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty didn't think so.

"Your Majesty sent officials to build the snow-sweeping street for the purpose of 'everyone gathers firewood to make flames high'. It is hard to guarantee that what is done by others will not become your own business one day, and there is no guarantee that the snow in front of others will not become snow in front of your own door one day.

"So sweeping together when there is snow, and carrying together when there is difficulty, is the warmth and character of the people of the Yan Dynasty, wisdom and foresight."

Wei Pingxi took the broom that the aunt on the side of the road kindly handed over, raised his hand towards Yu Zhi, and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Your Majesty is a good Majesty."

There have been many "snow-sweeping streets" in the capital since the beginning. Whenever the snow is thick and needs to be cleared, you can see His Majesty leading by example and walking in the front with a shovel in hand.If he can't come because of something, he will also send the queen or prince to come.

The royal family has been spontaneously praised by the people for its broad-mindedness and heart-warming kindness. Year after year, the country has become rich and the people are strong, and everyone is united.

If Princess Jiaorong had seen the scene of sweeping snow today, she might understand what the empress said.

What is the real difference between royal children and ordinary people.

It is not that he overpowers the people by virtue of his power. A wise man never overpowers the people, but the people are willing to see him sit on the high ground.

Snow is still falling.

It's hard to imagine that it's just a "snow-sweeping street" that can be seen everywhere, which makes the conflicts between neighbors and neighbors turn hostility into friendship, and makes the atmosphere of the capital truly have the extraordinary bearing of the capital of the emperor.

Yu Zhi was also handed a broom by a well-meaning person, it was funny that they came out to eat hot pot, but they caught up with being 'coolies'.

But this coolie is happy for her, and she does it happily.

Wei Pingxi rolled up her sleeves to express her unyielding enthusiasm for the cold winter. She is a real noble lady of the Hou family, and she looks decent when she picks up a broom.

The two chatted while sweeping the snow, and while chatting, they would also participate in the family stories of the common people.

Yan Xiu brought the prince to sweep the snow, and what he saw was Miss Si talking and laughing with her concubine and waving the broom.

"My queen, my cousin is here too!" His Royal Highness said in surprise.

"Yes, I see." The empress smiled.

"Oh! Your Majesty is here! Your Majesty is here!" The sharp-eyed commoners saw the Lord of the Central Palace in white fur and looked like a goddess, and their faces burst into smiles.

Sweeping snow, is it just snow?

It is the world.

His Majesty used the words "Sweeping Snow Street" to sweep away the barriers of people's hearts, and then waved the broom, constantly pushing Yan Chao forward.

It hides too much of his ambition and vigilance and introspection of vowing to be a wise king.

Yan Xiu loves Ji Ying deeply and is willing to work hard for him.

Behind sweeping the snow, no matter how wise you are, you have to bend down and sweep steadily.

The common people in the capital are not surprised by this scene. After seeing it many times, they will still be moved by the royal family's approachability.

This act, even if it is pretended, is a blessing to the people.

Wei Pingxi met her fairy aunt and young and promising cousin here, her brows were full of joy, and she was not in a hurry to greet each other, with a broom in her hand, sweeping, and swept out with Yu Zhi in a daze. A long road to two.

The big ladies who were working enthusiastically praised them for their ability.

Yu Zhi blushed slightly, it wasn't her who could do it, it was this strong fourth lady.

"Auntie, did you meet you here? Prince's cousin, are you here too?"

Ji Qingyou said happily: "Here, come, my cousin came earlier than us, she really has a heart of loving the people!"

Wei Pingxi didn't blush at all, and accepted it calmly.

The Empress Concentrated on sweeping with the broom in her hand, without raising her head: "Why are you here?"

"Go out and eat hot pot with Zhizhi."

"Did you eat that?"

"No." She shook the things in her hand: "This is not to sweep the snow."

The long wind blew up, snow particles fluttered on the queen's flawless face, snowflakes fell on her long eyelashes, and her eyelashes blinked, all of which were rare and beautiful in the world.

With one hand on the handle of the broom, the Juesu Yan Xiu said something very human: "Go and eat, we'll be fine."

"Really?" Wei Pingxi rubbed his stomach: "I'm really a little hungry."

"Cousin, my mother and I came here after dinner. Go and eat."

"That's good." Wei Pingxi stuffed the broom into his hand: "Even my and Zhizhi's share! Auntie, shall we go first?"

The empress was busy with work and didn't have time to talk to her.

Yu Zhigan was torn away by her in half.

"Don't sweep, don't sweep, let's eat hot pot!"

"Stop sweeping?" Yu Zhi turned to look at the busy empress, "The master of the middle palace is working, shall we go eat?"

"What's the matter, my aunt asked me to go, and it's not bad to listen to her."

Seeing that she was still hesitating, Fourth Miss Wei clenched her frozen red hands, and spoke softly: "Husband and wife are one body, and my aunt came here to represent His Majesty, so why would she chat with me here? This is the practice of your empress and Your Majesty. It is a great achievement.

"If you look at the prince again, he is the crown prince, the crown prince, the cornerstone of the country. The Snow Sweeping Street is not only a way for His Majesty to sweep the snow from the world, but also a way to sharpen the crown prince and show the royal affection.

"So, it's enough to have them here. One more of us is not too many, one less of us is quite a lot. Go and see again. When the aunt and the prince come, there will be more people running to sweep the snow."

Yu Zhi saw at a glance that the people in brocade clothes and cotton clothes were coming like she said, and suddenly realized, with a look of admiration on his face: "How do you know so much?"

Wei Pingxi raised his eyebrows: "Can't these things be understood after thinking about them?"

She said softly: "Even if it is a conspiracy, the common people would like to have more such conspiracy. Their hearts are willing to be bought by the benevolent king."

"Yes."

"Don't think about it anymore, go eat hot pot! I'm starving to death!"

Yu Zhi smiled and walked hand in hand with her on the wide street, the sound of hawking came from all around, and the weather in the world was good.

She suddenly asked: "Your Majesty and Your Highness are here, why doesn't the princess come?"

"Lazy."

"..."

Bright Moon Palace.

Princess Jiaorong yawned sleepily: "What time is it?"

"Return to Your Highness, it's two quarters in the afternoon."

"Father, Queen Mother, Crown Prince, what are they doing today?"

Spying on the traces of the emperor is a serious crime, but the princess is the only daughter of the emperor for many years, the emperor doesn't care about her, and the people below turn a blind eye.

"For foreign envoys to visit, His Majesty couldn't get away, and hosted a banquet in the Mingzheng Hall. The empress came half an hour ago, and saw that the princess was still asleep. After waiting for a while, she left and took the prince out of the palace to sweep the snow. .”

"Sweeping snow?" Ji Qingyao was told by the crown prince to be "lazy" for many years, but he never remembered it once.

Knowing the whereabouts of the empress mother and the emperor's brother, she curled her lips, disapproving: "Going to buy people's hearts again. It's all about sweeping a street, can it still sweep out the peace and prosperity?"

……

"Isn't it the time of peace and prosperity now?"

Wei Pingxi led his concubine into a hot pot restaurant called "Yan Sifang". It was almost time for lunch, and the restaurant was full of customers.

She took out a small silver leaf and handed it to the waiter, who took them to the third floor.

"In times of peace and prosperity, with more money in your pockets, more people come out to eat."

Entering the private room on the third floor, Miss Wei Si took off the cloak for Yu Zhi: "It's warm, don't sweat after eating it, but the most interesting thing about eating this hot pot is sweating. After we finish eating, I'll take you Go to [Wuan Shui Pavilion]."

"Nuan Shui Pavilion? What's that place?"

The shop waiter came over with a copper pot and listened to it, and rushed to say: "Nuan Shui Ge is a fairy place for taking a bath to relieve fatigue. When the new year comes, we all want to go there for a bubble, and some people even work hard for a year to save money for Spend a fortune there."

Yu Zhi listened fascinatedly: "Is it nice there?"

"Okay, very good, a good word can't express the fun in it!" The waiter got busy and stopped talking.

All kinds of fresh vegetables are presented, don't underestimate the green and inconspicuous vegetables, the market price is more expensive than meat, and they are all cultivated and transported from greenhouses in various places. The first thing to eat is fresh, and the second is expensive.

There are vegetables but no meat in the hot pot, and what you eat is not delicious, but lonely.

Thinly sliced ​​meat was piled up on the celadon plate, the copper pot was lit, and the fragrant soup was bubbling inside, and Yu Zhi moved his index finger.

Wei Pingxi introduced the famous "Knife Two" in the capital to her while the meat slices were in the pot: "He cut this appropriately thin mutton. It is said that his knife skills are superb, and he can slice 21 slices in ten breaths, and the slices are evenly thick. , looks good."

"Cut 21 pieces in ten breaths?" Yu Zhi was shocked: "How fast does that have to be? How about cutting it evenly, fast and beautiful?"

"I was also curious, so after I knew that there was such a person as Dao Er, I went to visit him. It was a competition in name, but in reality..." She smiled gently: "It is to carry forward the indomitable spirit that my Majesty Emperor Yanchao admired." The spirit of keeping improving and never giving up..."

"..."

Among other things, this is the first time she has heard someone describe 'stealing a teacher' in such a glorious and majestic way.

Yu Zhi blinked: "And then?"

"Then, I lost." Wei Pingxi said indifferently: "It's no shame to lose to him. I used a sword, he used a knife, and within ten breaths I cut nineteen slices, and the last slice was uneven in thickness and ruined. He cut twenty pieces, and the pieces were smooth and neat, as thin as paper."

"Why is it 21 pieces? Isn't it [-] pieces?"

Miss Wei's eyes were full of "you are so naive": "21 pieces, doesn't it sound impressive? Twenty pieces, it sounds a bit silly, not good enough."

"..."

I really don't understand you guys, just talk big when you talk big, and find so many reasons for yourself.

Yu Zhi rested his chin in one hand, and the hot white air wafted out, making him hungry just looking at it.

She swallowed quietly: "Then you are so powerful, nineteen slices within ten breaths, if you want me, I will definitely be clumsy and clumsy and can't cut three slices. No, if you want to cut it so thin, I'm afraid you can't even cut one slice."

"I was in a panic when I was idle, and I happened to meet him in Lingnan Prefecture when I went out." Wei Pingxi threw fresh vegetables and various seafood into the pot: "Do you know why he calls himself 'Dao Er'?"

"Why?" Yu Zhi picked up the vegetables and dipped them in the seasoning in the small dish.

"Because of using a knife, he is called the second, and no one dares to be the first."

"So powerful, why did you come here to be a cook?"

Miss Si leaned over to kiss her, and licked off the sauce left on her lips: "Of course it's because he wants to be the most skilled chef in the world.

"It's boring to go all over the rivers and lakes. You see, he works as a cook here, so we have the opportunity to eat such beautiful slices of meat."

"That's the truth..."

Yu Zhi blushed from her kiss, almost biting the tip of her tongue in embarrassment.

"Eat slowly."

Is it a matter of speed?

The beauty's eyes wavered slightly, annoyed her for her nonsense.

It disturbed her heart, and she looked innocent and calm again.

"Come and try this." Fourth Miss brought her food: "How is it?"

Her eyes were shining, Yu Zhi nodded uncontrollably: "Delicious!"

"Then eat more, or you won't be able to bear it."

"..."

There are too many ambiguities in these words, but the speaker is calm and serious.Yu Zhi was ashamed secretly, and couldn't help but look at this box from the corner of his eye.

Although the box looks good, it is a place where people come and go, besides them, I don't know how many people have been here.

She refused with all her heart, and she couldn't taste it when she ate it.

Wei Pingxi chewed slowly, eating the meat slices, she smiled: "Not here. Don't panic."

I knew I had bad intentions in bringing her out!

Knowing that she won't mess around here, Yu Zhi will be satisfied afterward.

……

"Is the arrangement ready?"

"It's been arranged. Don't worry, the princess. It's not fun to keep her safe."

……

The door of the private room on the third floor was kicked open, and the leader had a greasy face: "This place has a good view, I want it, you guys go out!"

Wei Pingxi held the chopsticks firmly with his hands, without raising his eyelids: "Who are you?"

"If you dare to ask who I am, I will scare you to death! I am exactly ha——"

A piece of hot meat flew into his wide open mouth, Fourth Miss smiled and said, "Hahahaha, didn't you see that we were eating? Go back."

The man was screaming from the heat, the meat just came out of the copper pot, his mouth was blistering, his eyes were tearing, and he pointed at Wei Pingxi with trembling fingers. Tail escape.

"Don't panic, just keep eating."

Yu Zhi glanced outside the door, and saw countless eyes looking towards the private room, she whispered: "I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy this meal."

"Follow them!"

Fourth Miss flicked her sleeves, and the two open wooden doors slammed shut.

"Hurry up, you'll have to fight after eating."

Haha, the word 'fight' here has two meanings
