The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 644

Perhaps it was what Mother Jia said to Yuan Chun in the palace, Yuan Chun slowly recovered, and saluted the Empress at the Compassionate Ning Palace on time every day.

It was a cold winter, and heavy snow fell one after another for two days.

If the year is not good, the officials in the capital and neighboring states and counties will be busy if there is such a heavy snowfall for two days, because some people will definitely die of freezing and starving because of the heavy snow, even if they don’t do their best to provide relief, they will carry out the people who died of freezing and starvation. Corpses are also necessary.

But this year there is no such problem, the annual harvest is very good, the food supply in the capital is sufficient, and the number of idlers in the capital is much less than in previous years. The homeless and homeless people were all thrown into the farm north of Jinmenwei in the name of labor reform, where they worked and ate, which made the capital less concerned.

Just because there is nothing to do, all the officials and scholars, and those who like to make fun of, all put up their congratulations, saying "auspicious snow heralds a good year", flattering them for auspiciousness, and making Emperor Xiaode happy.

Emperor Xiaode was also a follower of kindness, he did not go to court the next day when it snowed, and as for what to do, people outside the palace also knew that Emperor Xiaode was enjoying the snow in Xiyuan.

It is strange to say that when the concubines represented by Jia Yuanchun first came out to visit relatives, the emperor avoided them.

Especially when Yuanchun was pregnant and Longyan was furious, the emperor didn't want to pay attention.

But Yuanchun had a miscarriage, and after recovering, he bowed to the emperor and empress every day, and he was very stable in Fengzao Palace, and the emperor's attitude towards these concubines improved a lot.

This time going to Xiyuan, not only the queen and two concubines went, but also the virtuous concubine Yuanchun, Concubine Liu Hui and Concubine Shui Ru, all the princes and princesses followed, it was considered a family joy.

According to Chen Zhao's information in the palace, Emperor Xiaode sent Dai Quan to Longshou Palace to deliver cotton coats, heaters and other equipment to Emperor Li Taishang, and to greet him.

Although the Longshou Palace is well-defended, the supply is no less than before. Naturally, there will be no shortage of things like cotton clothes and stoves. Emperor Xiaode also showed his attitude, proving that the emperor is still very benevolent and filial.

Chen Zhao felt that if at this time, the authentic uncle Li Changqing could arrest Hesheli Zhaohui to the capital to dance for the emperor, the Supreme Emperor might be able to comfort him a bit.

Emperor Xiaode enjoys family happiness here, and all the officials and officials in the capital are also happy to be at leisure. Those who have errands are on errands, order a seat in the yamen, and go back early, or at home, or gather with friends to enjoy the snow Drinking alcohol and eating hot pot are also pleasures in life.

Others are at leisure, but Chen Zhao is also leisurely here. After more than a year of ups and downs, the whole family is together now, and there is no important business. It is also a rare leisure for him.

Chen Zhao also went to the Jinyiwei yamen and stayed for an hour before returning home. The wives and concubines gathered together, chatting and laughing, and at noon a banquet was set up to enjoy the snow and have a feast.

It turned out that Xue Pan had stayed in the capital for more than a month, and because he was in Tianjin on official business, he caught a few pheasants and a deer on the road in the capital, and sent them over directly.

Chen Zhao was overjoyed and asked the cook to clean up. The pheasant was cut into cubes in half and fried with pickled melon. The big fish that come here are sliced ​​into slices, and they are all boiled in a hot pot. This way of eating is to be comfortable, and the whole family gathers around the pot, and everyone is happy.

So he simply called Jia Huan again, and the family enjoyed themselves happily.

It is rare to have such a relaxed atmosphere in Duke Cheng's mansion. The whole family is laughing and laughing, and Chen Zhao has a smile on his face. This is also his rare rest and relaxation.

Chen Zhao and Daiyu stood shoulder to shoulder, with men and women on each side.

On the right side of Daiyu are Baochai, Xichun and Xia Ruoqing, on the left are Chen Zhao, and below them are Xue Pan, Jia Huan and Tanchun.

The maids, led by Zijuan, waited on the sidelines, and when everyone was seated, she called the two young maids to bring wine.The atmosphere gradually became lively.

It was still early, and we were enjoying the hot pot. Everyone was chatting and laughing, and discussing what fun they could have.

There are those who say drumming to spread flowers, some who say that they connect poems to each other, and some who say that they use fists to enforce wine orders. Everyone has different opinions.In the end, it was Xia Ruoqing who suggested softly that it would be better to have a drink order, anyway, what everyone drank was Jiangnan apricot blossom wine.

This is what everyone often plays at the wine table, and everyone agrees.Only Xue Pan shook like a rattle.

"It's better not to drink alcohol, I'm really not good at this."

But Jia Huan said with a smile: "It's not that Brother Xue doesn't know how to make wine orders. At the beginning, 'My daughter is happy, the wedding room is full of flowers and candles', how elegant it was."

As soon as the words came out, others didn't care much. Chen Zhaozheng took a sip of wine, but he hadn't let it go down his throat. Hearing the words, he spouted out a mouthful of wine, fearing that it would be impolite to spray it on the table, and when he lowered his head, it sprayed all over his clothes On top of that, I can't stop coughing.

It turns out that when Xue Pan was drinking with Feng Ziying, Baoyu and others, he was also talking about the drinking order.

I don't know why, but Jia Huan found out.

Chen Zhao had also read the original book, so he knew it too.

Xue Pan chuckled, but he knew how much he was after all, not to mention that the female family members of the Chen family, including his own sister, were all there, so it was fine to say some substandard things when drinking flower wine. It's just my own person, and even my sister's reputation will be affected.

He shook his head again and again and said, "I can't do it, or I won't participate."

Of course the crowd would not let him go, at this moment Baochai said, "Don't worry, brother, I will take your order."

Xue Pan was overjoyed, feeling that he had escaped a catastrophe, he said triumphantly, "That's good, that's good."

For drinking orders, an outsider must be selected as the ordering officer. For example, when Jia Mu in Rongguo Mansion orders drinking wine, the ordering officers are usually mandarin ducks.

To be an official of drinking orders, you need to be smart and have a wink.Honest people can't do this neat job.

Chen Zhao is the master of the family, and his people should be the commanders.So after Chen Zhao opened his mouth, Zijuan did his part, just smiled slightly, nodded in agreement, sat down and drank a cup of wine, curled up the corner of his mouth and smiled and said: "The wine order is as big as a military order, no matter how high or low, but I am the master. If so If you break my word, you will be punished."

Everyone's eyes are like mirrors, and it can be seen almost at a glance that Zijuan's demeanor is very majestic, and every move shows the demeanor of a housekeeper and maid of a princely family.

Not artificial, not rigid, principled, and flexible.

Everything is done noble and magnificent, as if there is a charm between the actions, as if it fits the Dao...

In fact, this is purely a psychological feeling.

Tanchun and Xichun's eyes flickered, and they saw the shadow of a mandarin duck on Zijuan's body.

After all, Zijuan is also a maid trained by Jia Mu, and she was supposed to take over the mandarin duck's class...

All in all, Zicuckoo is clever and thoughtful, and has a great atmosphere without any stage fright.

Zicuckoo took the dominoes, held them in her hand, and said with a smile: "Now I say that the dominoes will start from Aunt Bao and go on down the line, and the second one is the wife, so we can push them through until we reach Lady Jia.

For example, when I talk about a set, take these three cards apart, first talk about the first card, then the second card, and then the third card, and then synthesize the name of the pair.

Regardless of the poems, songs, idioms, and common sayings, they rhyme more than the previous sentence, and those who make mistakes will be punished with a cup. "
