In a blink of an eye, the weather entered the deep winter, the biting cold wind blew all night, and in the second half of the night, it snowed in bits and pieces, and when it was almost dawn, the light snow turned into heavy snow. Hanging all over white.In this kind of weather, lying in a warm quilt is the most comfortable thing, but Su Muzhi does not have this blessing, and goes to work on time despite the cold wind.

A thin layer of ice had formed on the surface of the water in the well, and several eunuchs were fetching water with wooden barrels.Su Muzhi brought her tub to a pile of clothes, her brows furrowed involuntarily, it was a physical and mental test to wash so many clothes in such cold weather.

The hand that still had a hint of warmth went down into the water, and immediately retracted. Compared with yesterday's water, today's water is much colder.Turning her head to look at the sisters beside her, they were all silently doing what they were doing, so Su Muzhi had no choice but to pull a few dirty clothes into the water, gritted her teeth, and plunged her hands into the biting cold water again.

After washing a few pieces of clothes, her hands were already numb from the cold, but there was still a lot of dirty clothes in front of her, forcing Su Muzhi to plunge her hands into the cold water again.

Two hours later, during the lunch break, Su Muzhi surrounded the charcoal stove as soon as she saw it, and stretched out her red and swollen hands from the cold to the charcoal stove. Only then did she feel that her hand was a little conscious, and she was pulled over by Sister Li, "One It’s easy to get frostbite when you’re hot and cold, you’d better wait for your hands to warm up naturally!”

Su Muzhi withdrew her hand, seeing that the laundry girls around her were rubbing their hands to keep warm, so she followed suit.After rubbing for a long time, the unconscious hands can move normally.

Seeing Su Muzhi at the door, Feng Xiaoyan thought of the money Qiu Yun gave her, so she opened her mouth and said, "Xiao Cui, come here."

Seeing Feng Xiaoyan calling her, Su Muzhi trotted over and said, "What's the matter, sir?"

"Follow me to deliver the washed clothes."

"But, but, boss, my clothes haven't been washed yet."

Feng Xiaoyan stared at Su Muzhi, and said after a while: "I will make arrangements, you just follow me out."

"Okay, good manager, thank you manager." Hearing what Feng Xiaoyan said, Su Muzhi probably knew it in her heart.

Fu Yanyu didn't expect to see Su Muzhi in Luoyexuan. Su Muzhi and Feng Xiaoyan were going to deliver the washed clothes to the palaces, so they bumped into each other at the door of Luoyexuan.

Seeing Fu Yanyu standing there, Feng Xiaoyan had a smirk on her powdered face, "Oh, it's not a princess, servants see the princess, the princess is blessed and safe."

"It turned out to be Steward Feng of the Huanyi Bureau, excuse me. Is this giving clothes to my fifth brother?" The so-called stretching out your hand and not hitting people with smiling faces, even though Fu Yanyu didn't intend to talk too much with Feng Xiaoyan, but Feng Xiaoyan invited Ann, so it was inevitable. To nag a few words.

"Yes, I sent the washed winter clothes to the Fifth Prince."

"Then Feng Guan, please..." Fu Yanyu had already caught Su Muzhi's eyes, and was planning to ask Su Muzhi in her heart. If she walked ahead, she would definitely be speechless. If she asked seriously , probably would cause trouble to Su Muzhi again, so Fu Yanyu found an excuse.

"No, no, the princess is fighting, how dare the maidservant walk ahead of the princess?" Feng Xiaoyan declined, which made Fu Yanyu a little unhappy, and her face darkened.Feng Xiaoyan was used to seeing the faces of the masters, and when she saw Fu Yanyu's face changed, she quickly smiled apologetically, "Oh, look at me stupid, since the princess let the slaves go in first, the slaves overstepped. You guys, give me a big compliment Wear clothes, don't care about the importance..."

Su Muzhi walked last, Fu Yanyu pretended to walk forward, and asked in a low voice, "Is your throat better?"

"Thank you princess for your concern, it's much better now." Su Muzhi's voice was not as hoarse as before, but the situation was not as good as Fu Yanyu expected, and her brows frowned.

When Fu Yanyu and Su Muzhi were talking, Li Mingbo who was waiting in the corridor had sharp eyes, and found that Fu Yanyu was secretly talking to the people from the clothing bureau, and leaned on the corridor pillar with his arms folded curiously.

It's just that Fu Yanyu and Su Muzhi only spoke a few words, and Fu Yanyu headed towards Li Mingbo's study. Li Mingbo was puzzled and wondered if Fu Yanyu was doing something else.While thinking about it, Li Mingbo found Su Muzhi standing there with clean clothes in his arms, watching Fu Yanyu enter the study.

"Hiss..." Li Mingbo gasped. Could it be that he wanted to harm his little sister?It's just that the eyes are clearly a kind of nostalgia, not cruelty, why is that?

"Xiao Cui, why are you still here?" Feng Xiaoyan was dissatisfied with Su Muzhi's distraction, and shouted not far away, but no one found Li Mingbo hiding behind the pillar.

"Oh, come, come." Su Muzhi ran over in a hurry, Li Mingbo came out from behind the pillar, and walked quickly towards the study.

Fu Yanyu didn't see Li Mingbo when she arrived in the study room, but just as she was about to come out, she saw Li Mingbo coming in a hurry, and greeted Li Mingbo with a smile, "Where is Fifth Brother going?"

Li Mingbo's thoughts raced, "I know you're here, and I want the cook to make some of your favorite pastries."

When Fu Yanyu heard about the cakes, her eyes narrowed into a line of laughter, "Any flavor is fine, I don't choose."

"That will have to wait, the cook is still making it, and it will be steamed later."

The two chatted for a while, just when the girl came up to add charcoal to the stove, and the topic of chatting was transferred to the charcoal fire.

"The price of charcoal has suddenly increased today, and the price is ridiculously high. Ordinary people can't afford it at all." Li Mingbo took two sips of tea and said, "Besides, the capital is like this. I don't know if other places are better than here. Worse."

"It's freezing cold, how can the people survive the severe cold without charcoal? The second brother is doing all of this..." Fu Yanyu paused, then looked at Li Mingbo, "Fifth brother means..."

Li Mingbo put down the tea bowl in his hand, with a bright smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's time to show them some color, but..." Li Mingbo looked at Fu Yanyu with some embarrassment. Ming Bo's meaning, then continued: "It's up to the point, if you are sensible, just pretend it didn't happen. If you don't change after repeated admonitions, he is also looking for a dead end. No wonder we."

"Would my younger sister blame my brother for being too soft-hearted?"

Hearing Li Mingbo's words, Fu Yanyu's eyes flashed a trace of sadness, "Father originally had few heirs, and now there are only four of us left. It is said that Father is cruel, but how can others understand Father? He loves you." We, but this kind of love is not connivance. Now that the second elder brother is like this, if the emperor finds out, he will be sad again, so fifth brother, please promise me not to tell the emperor about it unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Fifth brother understands" Li Mingbo didn't know if he understood what Fu Yanyu meant when he said this. He received little love from the emperor when he was a child, and he was often lonely. He didn't know what the emperor's love was when he was young. , now that he has grown up, he no longer needs to know.

"Fifth brother, are you okay!" Sensing the change in Li Mingbo's mood, Fu Yanyu could also guess that it was probably caused by Li Mingbo's lack of attention from the emperor since he was a child. It is not possible to see results in a short time.

Li Mingbo forced a smile, not wanting to show too many negative emotions in front of his younger sister, "I just thought that the elder brother and the sixth younger brother lost their lives in vain after all."

The price of charcoal in the imperial city is getting higher day by day, even if you have silver, you may not be able to buy it.

"Second brother, you are really good at recruiting. This year, the sales of charcoal are less, but the income is similar to that of previous years. I have sent a horse team to send the surplus charcoal to Night City." Li Mingyou booked in Guanquelou, the most luxurious restaurant in the imperial city today. There was a banquet, and two elder brothers, Li Mingtian and Li Mingfeng, were invited.

"That's right." Li Mingtian was very satisfied with his younger brother's methods, and raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "The three of us have a toast!"

While talking, I only heard "Second brother doesn't call me younger brother when he drinks."

The door was opened with a "squeak", and the owner of the restaurant was sweating anxiously, but Li Mingbo had a smile on his face, and said hello to Li Mingtian first.As the saying goes, stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling face, Li Mingbo has already arrived and Li Mingtian had no choice but to let him into the private room.

Li Mingbo's arrival surprised all three of them, but Li Mingtian hid it well, the other two didn't know how to see and act, and looked at Li Mingbo with displeasure, Li Mingbo didn't even look at those two Brother, he just poured a glass of wine and raised it up, "The fifth brother is reckless, disturbing the elegance of the three brothers."

"Hmph, I know you still don't want to leave?" Li Mingyou didn't have the patience to talk to Li Mingbo too much. Today, this banquet was reserved by him. He can be said to be the host, and the order to evict guests is so obvious now.

How could Li Mingbo not know that the three people in front of him hated him, but when he said something, he might not only hate him, but even have the intention to kill him.

Li Mingbo sat down without saying hello, "Father gave me the right to do things cheaply..."

"Li Mingbo, don't brag here. Where did you get the right to act cheaply? Don't you know?"

"I know, so I'm warning you brothers to do it for yourself. You can't make money, just to see if you can make money." After that, Li Mingbo stood up "Teng" and said, "Brothers are eating raw. Drinking, but it's cold, so we have to consider the suffering of the people."

"Hey, hey, hey" Li Mingfeng called several times, but Li Mingbo seemed not to hear, opened the door and left without a trace.

Li Mingyou hurried up and closed the door of the private room, "Second brother, what does this kid mean?"

"What do you mean, you still can't figure it out? It's just that he knew about our charcoal reselling. Today he came here just to warn us. If we insist on going our own way, he will bring this matter to the emperor. By then we may If you can't eat, walk around."

"Does he also want a piece of the pie?" Li Mingyou speculated, based on what he knew about Li Mingbo, he didn't seem to be a money lover.

Li Mingtian glanced at Li Mingyou, full of disdain. If one of the two younger brothers was Fu Yanyu or Li Mingbo, he wouldn't be like this, "Hurry up, let your motorcade stop!" .”

"But……"

"It's still a fart. If you don't go, our heads will be lost."

It was Li Mingtian's words that worked, and after he finished speaking, Li Mingyou ran out like his butt was on fire.
