"Devilish children, you're finally back!" The day that Xiao Wen returned to the Cloud County was the winter solstice of the Lunar New Year.

However, this calendar was only implemented in countries like Tang Song and Ming.

However, the Qin and Han Dynasties carried out the older Kindred Dynasty … In addition, according to Sun Shangxiang, Ming's Nanjing area, some scholars have begun to live according to the Gregorian calendar. They even had Western festivals like Easter and Christmas.

Xiao Wen speculated that this was the reason for the Qing Empire's time line.

After all, in Zhu Yuanzhang's time line, the Catholic Church had not yet made it to Macau. By the time of Nurhachin, the Ming dynasty had not been destroyed.

At that time, there were already many missionaries from Europe spreading Christianity in southern China. On the Chinese side, many scholars interested in Western technology were baptized in order to learn about it. After all, in the beginning, the pope of the Vatican did not have a Shireji and did not refer to the worship of Chinese ancestors as idolatry.

In short, other than Xiao Wen, the large man from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Shangguan Wan'er, the Tang Chinese, no one else really felt much about the Winter Solstice.

After all, they had never had a winter solstice when they were young — in fact, they had even celebrated the new year in October. At that time, Xiao Wen was about to leave the clouds.

It could be said that Li Zicheng, Zhuge Liang, and Guan Yu went north with Xiao Wen to the Huns after the new year.

Of course, according to Sun Shangxiang, one winter, she had accompanied her family to Song Kingdom to play, and had seen the people of Liang City spend their winter solstice.

Because she often wandered around, her family was used to her not being at home during the New Year's in October.

"Alright, rascals. Although I know that you all don't have the habit of going through the winter solstice. However, sir, I still have to spend the winter solstice at home. Do you want to go home first or go to my house to get some food? "

Hearing Xiao Wen's words, Sun Shangxiang wasn't very interested. After all, she was someone who had seen the world. Many times, when Xiao Wen cooked, Sun Shangxiang didn't think much of it.

Unless Xiao Wen tried his best to attract her attention, it would be difficult for him to bring out the [A Bite of China] 's cuisine, such as seasoned beef balls or Zigong well salt beef rice.

However, now that Sun Shangxiang was staying at Xiao Wen's house, even though she didn't have a special cold towards the Xiao Wen family's food, she still had to go to Xiao Wen family to eat it. After all, although Li Zi Cheng was from a noble family and Lee Bo Ke was a Marquis, he was about to be promoted to a marquis family.

In comparison, it wasn't even as good as Xiao Wen's family's food.

Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Li Zicheng, and Yang Xiu didn't actually feel anything for the Winter Solstice. So they were all happy to go to Xiao Wen's house to get some food.

Other than Yang Xiu, who was extremely proud of his reputation, the other kids all chose to go to Xiao Wen's home. Guan Yu even said that he wanted to go home and see if there were any cows accidentally falling to their deaths in the rich families of Cloud City today. If there is, bring 10 catties of beef...

"You should go back first! After all, your father was out of the house all autumn. " Finally, Xiao Wen saw the hesitation in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes and told her.

"Is that really okay?" Wan-Er asked.

"I'll ask Zhuge Liang to bring you some food tonight. Right now, the most important thing for you is to go back and see your father. " Xiao Wen said in a commanding tone.

Although he was still a little unhappy with Shangguan Tinzhi's character, he gradually understood the thoughts of a father when he was with these children.

Therefore, Xiao Wen felt that Wan-Er should stay by her father's side during the winter solstice — after all, he knew that Shangguan Tinzhi's wife, Wan'er's mother, had actually been held hostage in the Tang Kingdom and had toiled in the court.

Shangguan Tinzhi was actually living her life alone now.

"Yes, sir." Wan'er didn't hesitate any longer and turned to leave after hearing Xiao Wen's words.

"I will go send Wan'er home." Zhuge Liang said to Xiao Wen at this time.

"Alright." Xiao Wen nodded and agreed to Zhuge Liang's request.

Although all the rangers in the Cloud City knew that Shangguan Wan'er was his student, the reputation of Xiao Wen Ren was spread throughout the entire Cloud City. Currently, the Rangers in the Clouds were all hiding far away from Xiao Wen.

However, there would inevitably be some stubborn guys who would be unable to control themselves and want to test themselves to see if they would die or not.

So it was reasonable to send Zhuge Liang to escort Wan-Er just in case.

After all, after a few months of training, although Zhuge Liang wasn't as strong as Guan Yu, the Cloud Ranger's fighting strength was still only at the level of a group of five dregs. Zhuge Liang took care of them easily.

Just when Xiao Wen was preparing to bring the group of rascals home, Changan, Weiyang Palace, was a few hundred kilometers away.

"Esteemed Empress, since it's snowing outside, would you like to add another carbon bowl?" The eunuch at the side asked as he looked at the Queen Lu Zhi, who was handling government affairs in place of the Emperor in Weiyang Palace.

At this moment, there was only a bowl of charcoal beside Lu Zhi, which was emitting a large amount of heat.

It was already snowing heavily in the Winter Solstice. It would be difficult to maintain the body's temperature with just a basin of carbon fire.

However, Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "Now, in order to feed the people of our country, His Majesty has no choice but to lead troops and fight in the country. Even if it is New Year, he won't be able to come back. If the front is tight, how can the back be tight? "

"This... However, His Majesty had said that Emperor Song looked after everything he and his soldiers ate and drank in the country. "Esteemed empress, with your precious body, it's best if you don't freeze to death just to save some carbon fire."

However, Lu Zhi still shook his head and said, "It's better to be cold. If it's cold, I can keep my head clear and make fewer mistakes when reviewing the memorial. "

Lu Zhi was a virtuous woman in his early years. When he first married Liu Bang, he was not rich.

Liu Bang often for official business and friends to deal with, two or three days no one. Lu Zhi then led his children to engage in farming and mulberry knitting, filial piety and parenting, and led a self-reliant life.

In his early years, Liu Bang often wandered around in a homemade bamboo hat, cheating on food and drink, escorting prisoners on one occasion. He caused them to flee due to drunkenness, so he himself had to run for his life in the swamps beneath the mountains.

In addition to supporting his family on his own, Lu Zhi also traveled long distances from time to time to deliver clothes and food for his husband.

Her desire for power and vanity, though, swelled as Liubang rose to prominence. But most of the time, she still had traces of the hardships of her early life.

To her, reading through the memorial in the blizzard wasn't a problem at all.

When Han Dynasty was first established, the country was poor, and the roof of Weiyang Palace even leaked water. She was also helping Liubang review the memorial in a room full of water.

At this moment, she opened a new memorial and looked at the contents on it. Suddenly, she began to mutter.

"What happened in the direction of the clouds?"
