Daughter of aristocratic family

In the evening, the snow was still falling, and the chill penetrated into every corner.

The hall was as warm as spring, and everyone sat by the charcoal stove, listening to music and chatting.

At this time, the roasted whole lamb was brought in. The whole lamb was roasted by the flame until it was golden and crispy, exuding an alluring aroma.

The cook divided the sheep into large pieces, put them on a tray, and placed them in front of everyone.

Everyone took a knife, cut off small pieces from the large pieces of meat, and put them on their own plates.

"Green ants have newly fermented wine, and a small red clay stove. It's snowing in the evening, so I can drink a glass of nothing." Qin Youzi shook the cup and chanted.

"Youzi, there are two places in this poem that are not suitable for the scene." Yao Shanzhi said sarcastically.

"Where? I'd like to hear the details." Qin Youzi raised an eyebrow.

Yao Shanzhi stretched out a finger and said, "What you are drinking is not new fermented wine, but green wheat tea." He stretched out a second finger again and said, "It has started to snow, not about to fall."

After hearing this, Qin Youzi raised the corner of her mouth slightly and joked: "Although it is not a new fermented wine, the aroma of tea is still intoxicating. The snow has fallen, and the love is stronger. Come on, cheers!" After that, she raised her cup to signal to Yao Shanzhi.

As long as Fang Jingshu is not present, Qin Youzi is an easy person to get along with, but as long as she meets Fang Jingshu, she will become as sharp as a hedgehog.

What is puzzling is what exactly did Fang Jingshu do to make Qin Youzi hate her so much, and the two are always tit for tat.

Yao Shanzhi smiled and clinked glasses with Qin Youzi, "Cheers!"

The two drank tea in a drinking style, which made everyone laugh.

"Come on, let's have a toast too." Gao Zhi coaxed.

"Don't be ridiculous. This is tea. You have to savor it carefully. Don't drink it too much." Yao Zhen stared at him.

Gao Zhi chuckled, "I know, let's sip the tea carefully and drink the wine lavishly."

"Wine is about pride, tea is about artistic conception." Qin Nan said with a smile.

Everyone started chatting about tea and wine.

"Wine and tea are both the taste of life. A glass of wine can relieve your worries; a pot of tea can make you forget your worries." Yao Shanzhi said.

"A bowl of tea hides all kinds of flavors, and one drink will forget the dust like the breeze." Song and Yuan Qu said with a smile.

Yao Shanzhi smiled, "You still know how to say it."

"Tea and wine are both fireworks in the world. Tea is a quiet night, and wine is the bright stars. Tea makes people feel peaceful, and wine makes people's blood boil." Qin Youzi said.

Zhao Wangshu took a sip of tea and said: "Tea is the companionship of a long stream of water, and wine is a passionate carnival."

"Tea brings peace and tranquility, allowing people to find tranquility in the hustle and bustle; wine is passionate and unrestrained, allowing people to feel passion in the ordinary. Tea and wine have their own merits, and each has its own needs." Yao Zhen said with a smile.

Gao Zhi laughed loudly, "Everyone gets what he needs! I like this statement."

Everyone chatted about the topic of tea and wine for a long time. It was not until the night got darker that they went back to their rooms to rest.

Yun Hao presented Zhao Wangshu, and Zhao Yin presented songs from Song and Yuan Dynasties.

Zhao Wangshu said with a smile: "Yun Hao, it's a good thing you're here, otherwise my eldest brother would be in trouble right now."

"No, he won't be embarrassed. He can take you back to your room with Miss Song, and then walk back slowly with Miss Song." Yun Hao put his arm around her shoulders, "Just like we are now."

"Yun Hao, I'm glad you can come." Zhao Wangshu put his hand on his umbrella hand, "Holding an umbrella with you, we grow old together in the wind and snow."

Yun Hao looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness, "No matter the wind or rain, we will walk together together."

When he arrived at the door, Yun Hao lowered his head and pecked her on the forehead, "Wangshu, good night."

"Good night." Zhao Wangshu went in under his gaze.

It snowed all night. When I woke up in the morning, there was thick snow on the ground. The servants in Zhuangzi had already cleared a way out.

"Wang Shu." Yun Hao came to pick her up.

Zhao Wangshu trotted up to him amid his instructions to "slow down" and smiled brightly. "Why are you so anxious? Are you still afraid that I will run away?" Yun Hao took her hand and intertwined his fingers with hers.

"It's not that I'm afraid you'll run away, it's just that I miss you after not seeing you for a whole night. I miss you." Zhao Wangshu said with a sweet smile.

Hearing this, Yun Hao had a doting smile on his face and took her into his arms, "I miss you too."

The two held hands and walked slowly, and met Zhao Yin and Song Yuanqu who were walking together on the way.

Song Yuanqu blushed, and when he saw Zhao Wangshu, he lowered his head shyly, "Master Yun, Wangshu, are you so early too?"

"If you don't come early, you won't be able to see such a beautiful scenery." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"Yue'er, don't make trouble." Zhao Yin stopped her from making fun of Song and Yuan songs.

"Sister-in-law, my eldest brother and I are quarreling, who are you helping?" Zhao Wangshu asked.

Song Yuanqu glanced at her and said, "I'll help you."

Zhao Wangshu said proudly, "Did you hear that? Brother, you are my defeated general."

"I heard it." Zhao Yin smiled and nodded.

The four of them went to the hall and had a sumptuous breakfast. Yao Shanzhi invited everyone to go out to enjoy the snow. An old lady came over and said, "Miss Zhao, the eldest princess wants to see you."

Zhao Wangshu was stunned and looked at Yao Shanzhi, who smiled and said, "Go quickly."

"I'll go with you." Yun Hao said.

"No, the eldest princess should have something to tell me." Zhao Wangshu saw the encouragement in Yao Shanzhi's eyes.

"I'll send you there and wait for you outside the door." Yun Hao was still worried.

Zhao Wangshu looked at the old nanny, "Is that okay?"

"Okay." Yao Shanzhi answered for her.

The two followed the old nanny to the princess's yard. The yard was full of plum trees, and the red plum trees reflected the snow, making them even more beautiful.

"Wait." The old nanny walked outside the Nuan Pavilion, "Princess, Miss Zhao is here."

"Let her in."

The old grandma lifted the curtain of the door and motioned for Zhao Wangshu to come in.

Zhao Wangshu entered the room, took off his cloak and handed it to the maid. He walked around the screen and saw Princess Pingyang wearing a ginger-yellow palace dress, a low bun, and a phoenix-shaped bead hairpin.

Princess Pingyang was sitting at the red sandalwood table, setting up a chess game. When she saw Zhao Wangshu coming in, she pointed to the chair opposite, "Sit down."

Zhao Wangshu lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Princess."

There were soft brocade cushions on the chair. When Zhao Wangshu sat down, he glanced at the chess game on the table.

Heizi was about to be surrounded to death. Princess Pingyang held the black piece and said, "You hold the white piece and play a game with me."

"Victory or defeat has been decided, there is no need to fight again." Zhao Wangshu said bluntly.

"Don't you believe that I can turn defeat into victory?" Princess Pingyang asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Wangshu was silent for a moment and nodded: "I believe that the princess is superb at chess, but in the current situation, Heizi is a loser. If we continue to play forcefully, it will only waste the princess's time."

Princess Pingyang stared at the chessboard and suddenly smiled and said: "You are right, we have indeed lost this game." After saying this, she messed up all the chess pieces on the chessboard, "It is also magnanimous to admit defeat calmly."

Zhao Wangshu did not expect the eldest princess Pingyang to be so free and easy, he lowered his eyes and said: "Princess is open-minded."

"You have a good temper and a sweet mouth." Princess Pingyang fiddled with the jade bracelet on her wrist, "No wonder Gardenia likes you so much."

Zhao Wangshu smiled slightly and did not answer.
