Xingping 5th year, December.

Heavy snow fell from the sky, and a sudden heavy snow covered the entire Chengdu.

There was goose feather snow in the sky, and the earth was white.

In the harem, Wang Can was playing with his children and was busy building snowmen. In the pavilion not far away, Cai Yan, Diao Chan, Dong Hui, Mi Huan and Wu Yuan sat opposite each other, all looking at the adults and children who were busy.

Mihuan and Wu Yuan showed envious expressions, wishing that they also had a child.

In the future generations, there may be women who don't like children.

But in this era, the heir is not only the hope of inheritance, but also the sustenance of a mother. Mi Huan has been married to Liu Bei for many years and has never had an heir, and Wu Amaranth married Liu Mao without having sex at all, and it is even more impossible. Now the two of them watched Wang Xin, Wang Zhen and Wang You have a lot of fun, and they all hope that they can have a child.

Diao Chan glanced at Wang Xin, and there was a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

She glanced at Wang Zhen and Wang You again, and an intriguing smile flashed on her face.

To this day, Wang Can still has not set up a son, which makes people think about it.

Especially Dong Hui, she already had thoughts in her heart.

At the beginning, Dong Hui was helpless, afraid of the strength behind Cai Ya, and didn't dare to think about it. And Cai Yan and Wang Can have a very good relationship, so Dong Hui is honest, but as time goes by, Wang Can's treatment of them is not much different, and Dong Hui's brother-in-law Li Ru is already a household secretary, and his authority is even greater, which is also the reason why Dong Hui has an idea in his heart.

Cai Yan has only a powerless father, but she has a powerful brother-in-law. Even if Dong Hui didn't show it on her face, her mind had changed subtly.

"Ahh Yikes! ”

In the silent harem, there was a cheerful laughter.

In the open field, a large snowman was built.

Wang Xin was wearing a cotton jacket and a pink robe, standing in front of the snowman in an old-fashioned manner, ordering Wang Zhen and Wang You to do things, which was completely the posture of the eldest sister's head.

Wang Can stood beside him, pointing from time to time, feeling very cheerful.

At no time has there been such joy as in front of me.

Being with his children, there is no burden in his heart, which makes Wang Can enjoy it very much, feeling that everything is so casual and calm, and all his troubles are left behind.

"Step! Trample! ”

At this time, an attendant hurriedly came and bowed to Cai Yan and said, "Queen, Lord Li of the household department asks to see the lord!" ”

When Dong Hui heard this, her eyes lit up.

The greater Li Ru's power, the greater the support for her, and she can also take advantage of it.

Cai Yan glanced at Dong Hui and said flatly: "Got it, go down." Seeing that Dong Hui opened her mouth to speak, Cai Yan instructed the maid beside her: "Tell your husband that Master Li is asking to see you outside the palace." ”

"No!"

The maid replied and immediately ran towards Wang Can.

At this time, Wang Can and the three children were playing energetically, and even Wang Can had become the object of Xiao Xin'er's instructions. The little girl is innocent, and quite bold, not as disciplined as Wang Zhen and Wang You, Wang Can also likes such a casual and natural personality, and is not constrained.

Xiao Xin'er saw the maid coming, and Nunu said, "Daddy, someone is looking for you, hum!" ”

After saying that, she seemed a little upset.

The maid walked up to Wang Can with small steps and whispered a few words.

Wang Can nodded and let the maid retreat.

Immediately, he looked at Wang Xin and said with a smile: "Lele (nickname), you can take Pingping and An An back." ”

Xiao Xin'er raised her head and said crisply: "Stinky daddy, ignore you." She took Wang Zhen and Wang You's hands and walked in the direction of Cai Yan. Before leaving, the little girl turned around and smiled.

Seeing this, Wang Can was even more happy in his heart.

Seeing the three children walk into the pavilion, Wang Can turned around and walked towards the palace.

In the side hall, coals of fire have been burned to dispel the chill in the temple.

Li Ru stood outside the main hall, shook his shirt gently, shook off the snow foam on his body, then took off his boots, strode into the hall, respectfully bowed to Wang Can, and shouted: "Humble Li Ru, I have seen the lord." ”

Wang Can waved his hand and said, "Sit!" ”

Li Ru thanked him again and sat down in the hall.

Wang Can opened his mouth and asked, "Wen You, you are still in the bathing period, and now that the weather is so cold, you hurriedly entered the palace, is there anything important?" ”

Bamu, which means to bathe, also means vacation.

The official system of the Han Dynasty was a five-day holiday, and after working for five days, you could go home to rest. Comparatively speaking, the Han Dynasty vacation was relatively relaxed, only five days apart to take a break, but in the Tang and Song dynasties, the time of vacation also changed, becoming a ten-day vacation, and the vacation must be taken every ten days.

At this time, Li Ru was still on vacation and did not need to go to work.

Li Ru's expression was serious, and he arched his hand and said: "If it snows heavily today, for the local people in Yizhou, it will be a good year for them to have a good harvest in the coming year." However, there has always been a steady stream of displaced people coming in Yizhou, some of whom have just arrived and have no place to eat or shelter, nor clothes to keep warm. The lowly officials were worried that there would be a situation of starvation (piao) on the road, or that they would be forced to go into the mountains to become a prisoner, which would be troublesome, so they asked the lord to send someone to pay attention to this matter. ”

Wang Can thought for a while and said, "In winter, various measures such as porridge sheds have been arranged to protect the displaced people. Now that it has been implemented in an orderly manner, is there any problem? ”

Li Ru shook his head and said: "It's snowing heavily, and I am worried about my job, and I am afraid that something will happen. ”

Wang Can said; "Wenyou, you're about to become a workaholic, and you're still thinking about the household when you go home." That being said, Wang Can's eyes showed appreciation.

Who doesn't love such a faithful person?

Li Ru Zhengse said: "If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government, and you will be in charge of the household department and manage thousands of people, so you have to be cautious." ”

Wang Can immediately stood up on the seat and said, "Okay, just like this, you and I go out for a walk and check the situation around Chengdu, which can be regarded as a spot check to see the surrounding situation?" ”

Li Ru waved his hand again and again and said, "Lord, it's cold outside, so it's not suitable to travel." You just need to send someone to do a patrol, you don't have to go down in person. It's freezing on this day, and it's not good if you suffer from the wind and cold. ”

Li Ru came here just to make Wang Can pay attention to this matter and let the officials take this matter to heart.

But Wang Can's personal trip was not Li Ru's original intention.

Wang Can insisted on saying: "Seeing is believing, hearing is false, let's go out to have a look before we know the real situation, you go with me, it will be a winter trip." ”

As he spoke, Wang Can asked the attendant to take a cloak and tie it to his body, and strode out of the palace.

Li Ru followed behind him and walked out of the palace gate with Wang Can.

When Dian Wei saw Wang Can go out, he also followed behind to protect Wang Can's safety.

Wang Can suddenly stopped and said, "Shanjun, your official uniform is too conspicuous, immediately go and change into ordinary clothes." By the way, let the accompanying soldiers also change their clothes, we are not going out to be scary. ”

"No!"

Dian Wei responded with a fist and went to change clothes with the soldiers around him.

A short time later, Dian Wei returned with his soldiers.

After Wang Can and Li Ru got into the carriage, the soldiers driving the car flicked their whips, the horses neighed, and immediately ran forward. The wheels rolled, and the carriage headed out of the palace. Although the roads in the city were all flat avenues, it was snowing heavily, and the roads on the ground were a little slippery, and the soldiers did not dare to hurry up.

Wang Can took Li Ru and the others to walk around the city first and check it out.

Then the group left the city and went out of the city.
