The team had stopped. Qiao Si lifted the curtain and got off the carriage with Jing Zhu's help.
Looking at the scenery in front of her, she couldn't help but smile slightly.
Hongmei's emotions infected them, and seeing that Qiao Si had no objection, they also began to step onto the flat snow.
The crunching sound is intoxicating.
I don't know who started throwing the first snowball, but then it got out of control and everyone in the group, men and women, started throwing snowballs.
Some people even boldly took snowballs and threw them at Qiao Si.
Qiao Si was only fourteen years old after all, and when he was pelted with snowballs, he joined them.
Zhang You hadn't had such a good time playing in the snow for a long time. At this moment, regardless of their identities or genders, they were just purely enjoying the hard-earned peace and joy.
"Hey? Xia He! Why did you stuff snow into my mouth? Hiss - it's so cold." Chunhua shuddered, and unwilling to be outdone, she bent down, grabbed a handful of snow, rolled it into a ball and threw it over.
Zhang You dodged nimbly and chuckled, "Isn't this someone who wants to taste the snow from Dingzhou? How is it? Is it sweet?"
As she spoke, she bent down again, grabbed a handful of snow, and sprinkled it on Chunhua, but was splashed with snow by Qiuyue who suddenly appeared from behind her.
“Hahahahahahahahahaha.”
Qiuyue bent over and laughed non-stop.
"Good on you, you actually attacked me!"
Zhang You didn't bother to grab it, he just put his hands down and scooped up a handful of snow and threw it over.
"Ahhhhh?"
Qiuyue dodged in a hurry, but Dongmei took advantage of her opportunity and a ball of snow hit her on the back.
"Dongmei, you are also attacking me by surprise! Here I come!" Qiuyue took the opportunity to bend down, grabbed a handful of snowballs and threw them at Dongmei.
Zhang You was still watching the fun, but Chunhua retaliated by stuffing a mouthful of snow into his mouth.
It's icy, with a hint of sweetness.
Before she could think about how sweet it was, her actions were faster than her brain and she picked up the snowball and threw it out.
…
After they had played, they warmed themselves by the fire and started their return journey. The carriage moved slowly and they all began singing, no one knew who started it, as they walked slowly back.
Two days later, they finally returned to Prince Qiao's Mansion.
After Qiao Si returned home, he immediately went to the princess's Danhua Courtyard to report his safety. Zhang You and the others took Qiao Si's things back to Songxue Courtyard.
After being away for so long, they not only had to sort out Qiao Si's things, but also clean up their own room.
When night fell, Qiao Si was invited to have dinner with the princess, and they were treated well by Qiao Si - he specially arranged for the small kitchen to prepare a meal for them.
After days of traveling, they had been wanting a meal like this for a long time.
After eating and drinking, they waited for Qiao Si to come back and help her wash up, and then they could finally rest.
Lying on the bed he hadn't seen for a long time, Zhang You felt that his body was motionless and uncontrollably, as if it was also tired and just wanted to rest.
The gossip of Dongmei and the others was in his ears, and Zhang You's consciousness had already faded away in their gossip.
Have a good night's sleep.
Zhang You, who woke up, was revived with full health.
It is said that during the days they were away, some small gossip happened in the mansion.
Now that they are back, they can spend the afternoon basking in the sun, eating melon seeds, and secretly chatting about gossip.
First, some gossip about my cousin.
I heard that her ex-husband, for some reason, gave up his job in Beijing and bought a house next to the palace. He would find out when the cousin went out every day and then try to meet her by chance.
No matter what he said, he wanted to pursue me again and it would be like they were starting over.
As a result, his cousin never gave him a good look every time.
Even so, he still didn't give up, and every now and then he would send people to deliver things, such as pearl hairpins, rouge...
But my cousin doesn't like those things, and she doesn't like him, so how could she want his things?
Every time he gave something away, his cousin would send someone to return it to him.
If he was not willing to accept it, the cousin would have someone secretly throw it into his yard.
I heard that he has been doing something to please others recently?
I heard from somewhere that Qiao Nai liked the piano, so I went out of my way to find a good piano and music scores.
Although Qiao Nai really liked these things, since they were given to him, Qiao Nai would not accept them even if he liked them.
It is said that the ex-husband was drunk and said something like, "We clearly agreed that we could still be friends after the divorce, so why is she avoiding him now like he is a monster?"
Zhang You shook his head as he listened, while Dongmei next to him laughed as he listened.
The second gossip is about Qiao Da.
Who would have thought?
Qiao Da, who has always been a playboy, suddenly changed his ways.
I don’t know what stimulated him.
Suddenly one day, he stopped going to his concubines' courtyards and began to cultivate his body and mind?
However, I haven't heard whether he fell in love with someone else or encountered something, but he suddenly stopped being interested in women.
I heard that because of this matter, the princess and the second lady were concerned about him and wondered if he had any health problems.
Zhang You couldn't hold back her laughter and laughed out loud. When she laughed, Chunhua and the others also laughed as well, even though they wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
I heard that the women in Qiao Da's yard have been trying their best to seduce him since he stopped favoring them.
Now the yard is in a mess.
They listened to the gossip inside the mansion and also talked about some strange things outside the mansion.
Of course, I just pick up the unimportant things.
For example, the pheasants on Wuhu Mountain taste really good and are very delicious.
For example, the magicians in Caiguang Town are all very powerful. They can create glowing butterflies out of thin air and even form the shape of peonies.
For example, Caiguang Town has some great magic shows, but the food isn't very good. Not many people farm there, and they've been eating vegetarian for a long time, but Dingzhou is still the best.
…
There is still more than half a month before the end of the year, and the house has already started preparations.
In addition to the decorations and banquet on New Year's Eve, we also have to arrange travel for the next few days. This year, Dingzhou has developed a lot, and many families have emerged. In order to come and ask me, we need to set aside a day to entertain them well.
Moreover, Qiao Er made a lot of money from the Chamber of Commerce, so the wages of the servants in the palace were doubled. Qiao Er also arranged for people to make new clothes for everyone in the palace.
Qiao Si has been busy dealing with Dingzhou affairs these days. The princess was in charge of everything during her absence. Now that she is back, she not only has to understand what happened in Dingzhou these days, but also has to deal with Dingzhou during the New Year period.
This was the first New Year in Dingzhou after the war was settled, and the people requested a grand festival.
Many businesses decorated the streets at their own expense, and there were also free performances by opera troupes. Qiao Si had not wanted to make a big fuss, but after discussing it with the princess and the others, he decided to follow public opinion.
This was due to both the financial support from Qiao Er and the desire to unite the people of Dingzhou.
So, Qiao Si waved his hand and decided to fund the construction of a venue for them, so that they could hold a grand New Year's Eve party in the city center.
