044 The Blessing

Southern Xinjiang, New Year's Day.

Southern Xinjiang has a vast territory, surrounded by icebergs, plateaus, and a bitterly cold climate.Especially in winter, the wind blows on the ice field in bursts, and there is heavy snow falling from the sky. It is really cold, the north wind howls, and the snow falls.

In the Nanjiang palace, Zhou Fan now holds two positions, the prime minister and the king of Nanjiang.

There is no such precedent in Daughter Kingdom. However, Zhou Fan's status is special after all, and he will be an emperor in the future. It is not wrong to have another title. The courtiers all know that the prime minister's appointment as the king of Nanjiang is a test for him as an emperor.

Since he took over Nanjiang, the former king of Nanjiang has been overjoyed and packed up his clothes and returned to the capital of his daughter country.

After all, in a place of bitter cold, the living conditions are poor, and the weather is also bad. There are only two seasons in a year, summer and winter. The summer is extremely hot and the winter is extremely cold. They are simply two extremes. It is absolutely difficult to survive in southern Xinjiang without a strong body.

Even Zhou Fan fell ill several times a year in southern Xinjiang, and then slowly adapted to the weather in southern Xinjiang.

The last king of Nanjiang was a close friend of his mother. He served as king of Nanjiang for more than 3 months. The middle-aged man who he thought was rich and handsome was as thin as a stick when he left office and returned to Beijing, which shows how bad the environment in southern Xinjiang is.

This is also the reason why southern Xinjiang is sparsely populated. Because many native southerners cannot bear poverty, many young people go to sea to work and live in various parts of the daughter country. Some go to the Holy Land, but few people stay in southern Xinjiang.

It is difficult for outsiders to adapt to the weather in southern Xinjiang, and they don't want to live for a long time. Over time, the population of southern Xinjiang will decrease.

The weather is the external cause, and poverty is the main cause.

Zhou Fan has been in southern Xinjiang for a year. Although the lives of local residents have improved greatly, they are far from the goal.

In the palace, there are few people. Except for Zhou Fan’s family of three fishermen, there are only four servants who are responsible for driving, washing, cooking and sweeping the floor, and doing rough work. The palace of Nuoda is particularly quiet.

People in southern Xinjiang have naturally adapted to the weather in southern Xinjiang. On the first day of the new year, the atmosphere is still very happy. Zhou Fan can hear scattered firecrackers in the palace, although it is not like the prosperous fireworks in the capital, singing and dancing Shengping, but it doesn't feel like a year.

The aunt in the Wangfu is ingenious, and there is a bit of joy in the Wangfu. The red lanterns are hung high, the red couplets, the stickers with the word "Fu", everywhere is red, and it may be the only time in the year that the Wangfu is lively.

Zhou Fan stood under the eaves, wearing a moon-white robe, black and fashionable, handsome and straight, with a quiet and graceful face, he was playing the flute, and the clear sound of the flute spread to every corner of the palace.

Although the southern border is bitter and cold, there are still rich and prosperous places. The successive kings of southern border have always tried their best to improve their living conditions. Very moisturizing.

But all the servants know that this king of Nanjiang is different from the previous kings of Nanjiang. The king of Xinjiang, but his life is not as rich as that of a wealthy family in southern Xinjiang.

In addition to inspecting various places and experiencing the people's conditions, he shuttles around the palace and government affairs halls, and does not go to have fun at night. His only hobby is to play the flute quietly in the yard by himself.

Everyone is used to listening to the prince playing the flute at night.

Outside the house, there is heavy snow, plum blossoms are in full bloom, and the garden is full of plum blossoms.The biggest scenery in southern Xinjiang is the plum forest. Because of the bitter cold, the plum blossoms bloom very brightly, which has become a major local feature.

In winter, the white snow and red plums are fragrant for miles, which is very popular with people in southern Xinjiang. Zhou Fan also likes this beautiful scenery, so the yard is full of plum trees.

At the end of the song, Zhou Fan let out a sigh and drifted away in the wind and snow.

I miss his little girl so much.

I don't know if she missed him in the palace. He guessed that even if the arrogant Xiaobai missed him, he would not be noticed or admitted. Zhou Fan smiled, Xiaobai's temper, he is extremely learn.

During the day, it must be glamorous and majestic. At night, he would probably bite the quilt and think that three years will pass quickly. He hurried back, because she had too much in Zhouzhang, and no one would share it for her.

Thinking of Xiaobai biting the quilt in the middle of the night with resentment, Zhou Fan couldn't help laughing, thinking of Xiaobai, it has become a place of bitter cold, his only warmth.

"Little girl with no conscience." Zhou Fan chuckled. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there must be a grand ceremony in the palace. He knows what kind of life Xiaobai is living without having to guess. Thinking about it, his heart aches.

It would be great if he was in the capital.

can accompany her.

Not so lonely.

Behind him, there were soft footsteps, and Zhou Fan turned around. At the corner of the corridor, a young girl stood tall, dressed in green and skirt, white and fashionable, with a flowery face and a myriad of beauties, holding a tray with wine, glasses and appetizers.

When he turned his head, she smiled lightly, which was better than the plum blossoms in the garden.

With a slight blessing, his voice was like that of a yellow warbler, "See you, my lord."

"Qinglian, haven't you slept so late?" Zhou Fan frowned, the night was cold and snowy, it was not good for her to stand alone in the corridor for a long time, so he entered the room.Xiao Qinglian then went in and put down the food and wine.

The fire was warming the room, and Zhou Fan was also unwinding. Xiao Qinglian's special dishes and a jug of fine wine were placed on the table.

"My lord, seeing that you don't eat much for dinner, the daughter of the people brought some food and wine. It's freezing cold, and the wine can protect you from the cold. Your lord can sleep more comfortably at night." Xiao Qinglian smiled. beautiful.

"Troubleshooting." Zhou Fan nodded lightly, his brows were indifferent, Han Ye, wine is indeed a good thing.

Xiao Qinglian smiled and poured wine for Zhou Fan.

The long night is long, and a beautiful woman is like jade, which is a beautiful thing, but the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless, Zhou Fan saw that she was still there, and said: "Miss Xiao, the night is cold and snowy, you go back to the room to rest, and the dishes will be collected tomorrow. "

"Prince, daughter..." Xiao Qinglian hesitated to speak, her jade-like face turned red suddenly under the candlelight.

Zhou Fan frowned, and said in a cold voice, "Is there anything else?"

Indoors, the charcoal fire crackles, the temperature rises a few more points, the fragrance of plum blossoms is secretly sent, and the wind warms the fragrance of flowers.

Xiao Qinglian knelt down, lowered her eyes, and her voice trembled, "My lord, please allow Qinglian to serve around me. Minnies don't want glory and wealth, and they just want to serve the lord for the rest of their lives. Please accept the lord."
