Chapter 696 Worthy of being called Ye Ye

Then the fifth brother finally finished speaking and announced loudly: "This best one over here is for Yeye, Daddy, Mommy and Xinbao to live in!! This one over here is for the eldest brother, the third brother, the fourth brother and Huashi to live in!! This one is ours, all right, everyone can go home!!"

Before I could finish my sentence, several of my companions excitedly went into their igloos, and then I heard their excited screams!!

The main thing is that the door is quite small, and adults have to bend down to get in.

Tuanzi looked at Yeye.

Ye Ye is worthy of being an emperor. He remained calm and said, "Prince, shall we go?"

Yan Qingshan said: "I will go in and take a look first."

He went over and took a look outside first, then bent down and went in. After a while, he came out and said, "It looks good, Father, do you want to come in?"

Emperor Mingpei went in without saying anything, and then Madam Lin also went in, holding back her laughter. Xinbao stood behind A'niang and took a look inside out of concern. She found that it was not dirty at all, so she exclaimed, and Madam Lin carried her down.

Yuan Shenjue was the last one to come in.

As soon as he came in, there was no wind and it was quite warm. Xinbao looked around curiously.

This is probably the upper layer of snow bricks. You can see traces of footsteps here, but it is not dirty.

There was a big pit inside, which should be taller than Xinbao, but it was padded with snow bricks. It was obviously burned and then frozen. The ice surface was very smooth and not dirty. There was also a row of benches made of snow bricks against the wall, which were covered with felt and looked quite warm.

Emperor Mingpei turned around, smiled, shook his head, and sat down on the felt.

Xinbao immediately went over, sat on his lap, pulled his hand over and hugged himself, and put his hand into Yeye's hand to keep warm, while still looking around.

Brother Xiaowu excitedly poked his little head in from the doorway: "Okay? Yours is the most luxurious!!"

He pointed his hand around: "Look over there, over there, we asked people to cut snow bricks from places with bluestone, and they are baked, so they are very solid. You can even sleep here! I want to sleep here tonight! Xinbao, are you coming?"

Xinbao quickly shook his head: "Xinbao, no, what if there is a ghost?"

"Hey, what are you afraid of? We will protect you!!"

Madam Lin changed the subject: "This is really good. It's not cold inside."

"Right," Tuanzi quickly said, "It's like a world of ice and snow!!"

Brother Xiaowu was even more excited. He talked for a long time with a beaming face, then ran to his brother and talked to him from behind.

Then a few people started visiting other people’s houses. They came in, sat for a while, and then went out. After a while, they came in again, and then went out again…

A few mature adults, plus a mature little kid, looking at each other here, it's all a little funny.

Then Brother Xiaowu invited for the third time, "Xinbao, do you want to sleep here tonight?"

Xinbao: “…”

Emperor Mingpei said calmly, "You have worked so hard to build the snow house, and Wei Gui and the others have also contributed. Why don't you invite their families to come and have a look? If anyone is brave enough, they can rest here with you at night."

When Xiaowu heard this, he thought it was right and went back to discuss it with his friends.

Tuanzi looked at Ye Ye with admiration... He was worthy of being Ye Ye, he even did things so righteously as to rather let his fellow Taoist die than let himself die.

Then Emperor Mingpei stood up and said, "Let's go back. They are not comfortable with me here."

Yan Qingshan and his men saw through it but didn't say anything. They hurried out. Then Madam Lin stopped and said to them, "Go back and change your clothes first. The house is already built. How can you wear dirty clothes when entertaining guests? Go back and change quickly!!"

The twins were very obedient. Although they were having so much fun and didn't want to leave, they still followed Madam Lin back to change.

Madam Lin did not ask the twins to go back, as they were all about the same size. She simply took the twins' clothes, put them on a thick layer, and made each of them drink a bowl of ginger soup before letting them go. Then she headed towards the court officials.

Leaving Yan Shifan and Yan Shichang behind, Madam Lin didn't say anything, she just told the eunuch beside her, "Go check later, if they are staying there, send some food over."

Yan Shichang said: "I heard that you can even warm yourself by the fire inside!"

Madam Lin squinted at him and said, "Haven't you had enough fun? If not, why don't you go play with them for a while longer?"

Yan Shichang stood up and walked towards the door. When he reached the door, he felt uneasy and asked again, "Is this a stern statement or a sarcastic one?"

"I'm not being sarcastic," Mrs. Lin said, "It's New Year's Day, so if you're not afraid of the cold, go."

Yan Shichang got up and walked away, "Then I'll go take another look." Then he ran away.

Mrs. Lin glanced at her eldest son.

The mature eldest son suppressed his excitement and said calmly: "There's nothing fun. The fifth and sixth children are making a fuss, so I just play with them."

Mrs. Lin smiled but said nothing.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Mingpeidi and his men came back and were also drinking ginger soup. Xinbao closed his eyes and drank half a bowl, then said to Fang Wuyou, "Xinbao wants a hot towel for a hot compress."

Emperor Mingpei asked, "What's wrong with Xinbao? Where should I apply heat?"

Xinbao sighed, "Just now, Xinbao was pretending to be happy, so he kept smiling. His teeth felt uncomfortable because of the blowing. He wanted to apply some hot compress."

Emperor Mingpei: “…”

He wanted to say something, but couldn't help laughing in the middle. Even Yan Qingshan couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, "Fan'er looks grown up, but he's still a child."

Xinbao took the small towel and really put it on his mouth, asking, "Why hasn't Huashi come back yet?"

Yuan Shenjue said: "I don't know, maybe he went somewhere to play."

Although Hao Huashi thought he had acted perfectly, if he came back immediately after Shan Xianbo left, without any flaws, someone might really guess it, so he planned to delay for two days and has not returned yet.

Among Xinbao's three disciples, only Hao Huashi is familiar with the twins, Bai Gusheng doesn't care about anyone, and Xue Xuanji is too quiet, so they still haven't become familiar with each other after such a long time.

When this person was mentioned, everyone remembered Xue Xuanji, and Xue Xuanji came to ask for a meeting.

Emperor Mingpei called him in. Xue Xuanji came in and bowed before saying to Xinbao, "Master, I have finished writing this year's Xuanhuji. Bring it here for you to see."

Xinbao was very interested, and immediately threw away the small towel, took it, went over and sat on the kang, and watched it with Mingpeidi.

Xue Xuanji wrote in great detail. Xinbao read the medical theory and drugs, while Mingpei Emperor read the text. It took more than half an hour. After Xinbao finished reading it, Mingpei Emperor also finished reading it.

Then Xinbao said, "Great!! Xuanji is awesome!!"

Xue Xuanji smiled awkwardly, and Emperor Mingpei said, "It's getting late, let's serve the meal first. Tomorrow you can show this to Prime Minister Yuan and ask him to write a preface for you. You should do the same every year in the future."

Xue Xuanji nodded in agreement and took it with both hands.

So everyone prepared to eat, and Yan Qingshan sent someone to check over there. Gao Fu came back and said, "The princes have invited Lord Wei, Lord Sheng and the other lords, and the third prince has also called Lord Shen. They are eating in one of the snow houses. The pot they are eating from doesn't look cold."

Okay, with Shen Shouyan here, it doesn’t matter even if the house collapses.

So everyone had their meal.
