The first snow of early winter falls non-stop.

In Yuan Shao's Mansion in Yecheng, there was already thick snow on the ground, and the entire mansion was surrounded by a piece of silver.

In the small pavilion in the back garden, Yuan Shao sat on a thick futon, and beside him, a brazier was burning with red flames.

In front of Yuan Shao, there was a low table, on which was a small copper stove, and on top of the copper stove, there was a pottery wine utensil.

The light blue flame **** the bottom of the wine utensils, the mouth of the wine utensils is filled with a mist of mist, sitting at the low table, you can smell a warm aroma of wine.

In addition to Yuan Shao in the small pavilion, there was also a waiting maid standing in the corner on both sides behind him.

The wine in the wine utensils was already boiled warm, Yuan Shao turned his head to look at the snowflakes that were still falling outside the pavilion, and a face that was no longer young was even more vicissitudes.

A maid walked up to the low table and bent down to get the wine utensils, intending to pour Yuan Shao a bottle of hot wine.

Before her hand touched the clay wine utensils, Yuan Shao waved his hand at him.

Seeing Yuan Shao waving his hand, the maid hurriedly retreated.

As soon as the maid returned to the pavilion and stood up, there was a rustling of footsteps outside the pavilion.

Following the footsteps and looking over, what appeared in front of Yuan Shao was a woman who was nearly fifty years old, and the woman was accompanied by four or five maids who were dressed more luxuriously than the maids behind Yuan Shao.

Seeing the crowd of people walking towards the pavilion, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Shao's mouth.

The woman who came to the pavilion accompanied by a group of maids, when she arrived at the pavilion, said to Yuan Shaofu, who was sitting behind the low table: "It is snowing heavily, and the husband is not resting in the house, but he wants his old wife to come here, I don't know what to do?" ”

It was none other than Yuan Shao's wife who came to the pavilion.

It was snowing heavily, but Yuan Shao suddenly asked her to come to the pavilion, saying that he wanted to have a drink with her.

Hearing that Yuan Shao invited her, Mrs. Yuan was unhappy in her heart.

Since Guandu, Yuan Shao's body and bones have always been very weak, and in such a snowy weather, if he suffers from a wind and cold, how can he be born.

It is precisely because of this that when Mrs. Yuan talked to Yuan Shao under the pavilion, there was also a bit of blame in her tone.

Standing outside the pavilion was his wife, not those concubines who were accepted later, and Yuan Shao would not call his wife.

was blamed by the old wife, but he had a smile on his face, waved at Mrs. Yuan and said, "The old wife is coming into the pavilion and accompanying a certain person to drink two glasses!" ”

"Drink! Drink! Drink! Going up to the pavilion with a look of disgust, Mrs. Yuan sat down opposite Yuan Shao, and said angrily: "It's also a hero, and he doesn't know how to take care of his own body so much." Say, "If thou hast any three long and two short, I will ...... old wife."

As she spoke, Mrs. Yuan actually raised her arm and wiped away her tears.

Seeing his old wife crying, Yuan Shao sighed, waved his hand at her and said: "Don't be like this, don't hide it from you, it's snowing now, and I'm thinking about it, it's time to beat Cao ****!" ”

"Still fighting!" After being stunned for a moment, Mrs. Yuan said with a stunned face: "Husband really doesn't want to die!" It's freezing this day, and the soldiers can stand the rough skin and thick meat, you old bones......"

"Hey!" Waving his hand at Mrs. Yuan, stopping his words, Yuan Shao opened his mouth and said, "Women's family, don't worry about these things. Today, you and I just have to drink! ”

was stopped by Yuan Shao, although Mrs. Yuan was unhappy in her heart, she really didn't dare to say anything.

Beckoning to a maid standing behind him, Yuan Shao opened his mouth and said, "Don't pour wine for Madame yet!" ”

The maid hurriedly answered, walked lightly to the low table, stretched out her slender hand, picked up the wine utensils on the copper stove, and carefully poured a bottle of hot wine for Mrs. Yuan.

When pouring wine for Mrs. Yuan, the maid was extremely careful.

This Mrs. Yuan, compared with Cao Cao's original partner Ding Yao, is much more popular.

If someone in the house disobeys her, they will be scolded at best, and beaten at worst, even Yuan Shao's maid is afraid of her.

Filled Mrs. Yuan with wine, and the maid poured another bottle for Yuan Shao.

When pouring wine for Yuan Shao, she pursed her lips tightly, and her pretty face was flushed with youth under the reflection of the flames in the copper furnace.

Looking up at the maid who poured wine for Yuan Shao, Mrs. Yuan's brows furrowed, and she said in a cold voice angrily: "You little hoof, but what do you think of?" Pour wine for Yuan Gong, it's also ****! ”

After being drunk by Mrs. Yuan, the maid shuddered, hurriedly poured wine for Yuan Shao, put the wine utensils on the copper stove, folded her hands in front of her, and retreated to the side.

The maid stepped aside, and Mrs. Yuan stared at her with her eyes down, and she looked at her with her head down, not even daring to raise her face.

"Okay, old wife!" Mrs. Yuan sprinkled the fire on the maid's body, Yuan Shao picked up the wine bottle, and said to her with a smile: "I know that you are not happy in your heart, and I respect you for my husband, what kind of anger do you put with a servant!" ”

was said by Yuan Shao, Mrs. Yuan rolled his eyes, but she didn't hold back her laughter, and laughed out loud and said, "Husband, don't you feel distressed!" ”

Yuan Shao ignored her, just smiled and picked up the wine bottle and drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp.

Seeing that Yuan Shao finished drinking the wine in the wine bottle, Mrs. Yuan also picked up the wine bottle and drank the wine all.

As soon as the two of them had finished drinking, the two attendants each walked up to the pavilion with a tray of two side dishes.

Inside the tray are some preserved fruits and meat.

The attendant put the side dishes on the table, Yuan Shao picked up the chopsticks on the table and ordered one of the plates of thinly sliced meat, and said to Mrs. Yuan: "This is the deer that Xianyi hunted yesterday, Madame come and taste it!" ”

Speaking of Yuan Xi, Mrs. Yuan's face changed slightly, and she sighed lightly and said: "Xianyi went to Luoyang, but he left his daughter-in-law there. ”

"King Qin is not an ordinary prince!" Mrs. Yuan mentioned Zhen Mi, Yuan Shao's face also changed, and she opened her mouth to comfort: "Xianyi also said that the King of Qin left Zhen Ji in Luoyang so that he would have no worries about going into battle to kill the enemy!" ”

"In this way, King Qin has a fancy for Xianyi!" Mrs. Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, and she said with some worry in her heart: "That Xianfu ......"

"This is a family matter, King Qin will definitely not interfere!" With a wave of his hand, Yuan Shao interrupted his wife's words, took a piece of venison for her with a chopstick, and put it on the plate in front of him.

Yuan Shao's wife, Li, although her temperament is quite irritable, she is also a reasonable person.

The three Yuan Xi brothers were all born to Yuan Shaoping's wife Liu, and the Liu family was flying in the Yuan Mansion, but they did not dare to be domineering in front of the Li family.

On weekdays, Liu will also deliberately tie up with Li and get closer to her.

The three sons born to the Liu family, only Yuan Shang was the most loved by her, relying on the proximity to the Li family, she often blew the wind in front of the Li family, and after a long time, Yuan Shang also became the top of the Li family.

To say that Yuan Shao is also a rather tragic character.

Cao Cao was originally married to Ding Yao, because his eldest son died in battle, he returned to his parents' house with Cao Cao angrily, and refused to return to Cao Cao's side, but he did not make trouble with Cao Cao.

And Yuan Shao's two wives, whether they are Li or Liu, are used to sprinkling on weekdays, and even Yuan Shao's heir is to intervene.

With the love and protection of these two ladies, his youngest son Yuan Shang will have more thoughts of winning the family business.

If it weren't for that, Liu Wei wouldn't have had to make a special trip to invite Yuan Xi to Luoyang to plan for the future of Yuan Shao's family.

I was going to mention Yuan Shang's matter, but was interrupted by Yuan Shao, and Mrs. Yuan couldn't say anything, so she had to pinch the venison on the plate, stuff it into her mouth and chew it slowly.

Yuan Shao and his wife were drinking in the small pavilion, in the back garden of the Qin Palace, in Luoyang City, in a palace close to the palace of the princesses, Zhen Mi was sitting on the corridor between the main gate and the small courtyard, playing the Qiang flute.

The Qiang flute was originally a musical instrument of the Xiliang Qiang people, and Zhen Mi also learned to play it with a Xiliang maid bought at home when she was a girl in her early years.

It has been a long time since Yuan Xi left Luoyang, and as a husband and wife, she thinks about Yuan Xi every day.

The snow has been falling for two or three days, and the small courtyard is covered with a layer of silver, and even the few big trees in the courtyard are all plain white.

The sound of the Qiang flute floated out of the courtyard and drifted to the princess's bedroom, which stood quietly nearby.

While playing the Qiang flute, a maid ran in from outside the courtyard, and when she arrived in front of Zhen Mi, she first blessed her, and then said, "Madam, Princess Tang is here!" ”

After living in the palace, Zhen Mi had the most contact with Guan Qing, and because she rarely left the residence, she had never met several other princesses.

Although she hadn't seen it, she also knew that Princess Tang was Tang Ji, the wife of King Qin.

Knowing that Tang Ji was coming, Zhen Mi hurriedly stopped playing, handed the Qiang flute to the maid beside her, got down the corridor, and greeted her outside the courtyard.

Before he reached the gate of the courtyard, Tang Ji had already walked in, accompanied by several maids.

As always, Tang Ji was wearing a bright red palace dress.

Now she is full of charm, a young woman who is full of charm and wealth, and she has long lost the youth when she escaped from Luoyang with Liu Wei.

Tang Ji, who was wearing a big red Luo skirt, wore a small red satin jacket on her upper body, and a red raccoon fur cloak on her body, and stood in the courtyard, full of condescending and extravagance, forcing Zhen Mi to raise her head a little.

Although she hadn't seen Tang Ji, Zhen Mi recognized her at a glance from the nobility she had and the courtesy of the maid just now.

Standing in front of Tang Ji, Zhen Mi blessed her, and greeted her crisply: "Princess Tang!" ”

"Zhen Ji has been living in the palace for a few days, and this princess has a lot of affairs, and Xiang Sun has not come to visit!" Nodding towards Zhen Mi, Tang Ji said with a slight smile: "Today coincides with the heavy snowfall, and many things can't be done, so I made a special trip to visit Zhen Ji!" ”

"Zhen Ji is terrified!" Lowering her head, Zhen Mi said softly: "I was supposed to go to see the princess, but I wanted the princess to come in person, which is really a capital crime!" ”
