In the last month, the temperature dropped so fast that the sky and the earth seemed to have entered ice kiln mode. Originally, there was still a hint of yellow and dim colors. After a heavy snowfall, the colorful colors were now only white.
When it snowed for the first time in Bianjing, everyone felt it was particularly beautiful. It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good year, and thousands of pear trees are in bloom. Everyone is rolling in the snow, making snowmen and having snowball fights. Adults and children can breathe a sigh of relief in this season. They don’t have to take care of the crops in the field. They can stay at home and have some leisure. The children of the rich family are playing in the snow. Ma Feiyang doesn't have any pride either.
After the first snowfall comes the second snowfall, then the third snowfall, and then there is snow everywhere in the sky and on the earth.
When it snows, the weather becomes even colder. In the end, everything is peaceful and the world is quiet. At first, everyone cheered for the beautiful snow scene, but later on, their ears and hands were all red with frostbite from the cold. Cracked mouth.
Wind, snow, and freezing rain are also disasters, and they are more cruel than any other disaster when it kills people. The people who froze to death on the roadside will have their painful expressions even until next year, reminding them of the ruthlessness of this storm!
Everyone's tone began to change, and everyone began to curse the thief. Why is it so cold? No matter how cold it is in Qingyuan, a group of people can easily cope with it by wearing small coats, but how can they do it here?
Liang Chuan bought thick cotton clothes and quilts for everyone in Zhuangzi. The price of quilts really shocked Liang Chuan. He didn't know that the quilts of ordinary people these days were stuffed with grass or cotton? That's something only wealthy officials and rich people can afford!
Whatever can be used is stuffed with straw, thatch, and fluff. In Beidi, the bed is not made up of quilts, but the kang under the bed.
Huang Daopo was not yet born and cotton-making technology was not yet mature. Cotton-padded clothes were not cheap, let alone quilts. A good quilt was enough to get a good wife, which was enough to show how valuable this treasure was.
The farmers have stopped their farm work, and the residents on the streets are already preparing to celebrate the new year. New Year's goods, food and fabrics. As long as you have money in Bianjing, there is nothing you can't buy.
According to other people in Zhongmu County, the weather this year has been extremely cold. Many livestock and poultry at home have frozen to death. Many elderly people have not been able to survive this difficult period. When they wake up early in the morning, they can always hear When it comes to the sound of the suona, this ancient and melancholy musical instrument Liang Chuan is most familiar with. Liang Chuan can almost tell whether he is celebrating or mourning today just by listening to the first tune.
There are mourning teams on the road every day, paper money is scattered on the ground, and the sound of suona adds to the sadness of this season.
It is human nature to say farewell or death. Every time Liang Chuan sees such a scene, he will think of Fengshan, the artist waiting for him at home, and the little Xiaocheng that is as small as a bean. He does not know what his Xiaocheng will look like. If the things in Bianjing are finished, he will definitely return to Fengshan and never leave again. The money he has earned is enough for him to spend in several lifetimes. No matter how much you earn, it will only attract the attention of others. It is great wisdom to retreat bravely from the rapids.
When I returned to Fengshan, I went to propose marriage to Mr. Zheng Yiqian, and married his precious daughter home. There were also A Guo Yuzhen. Three women came to the house at the same time. I also acted as Sir Wei for a time. Everyone was happy and I wanted to really start. Enjoy life, enjoy life.
It's snowing season, and it must be very cold in Qingyuan. I wonder if a few women can wear more clothes.
What he owes the most in the past few years is his wife Lin Yiniang, who has built a fortune from scratch with him. He only spends the New Year with her for real, and spends the rest of the time wandering away from home. The two of them spend less time together and more time away from each other.
This huge family is supported by Yi Niang alone when she is away.
Rather than saying that the people of Fengshan were brought up by themselves, it is better to say that they were brought up by art mothers. In a family where the male is the leader outside and the woman is the leader inside, the main pillar that keeps the family standing is not the pillar that supports the sea!
There are already fewer people in Bianjing City. The progress of that building has not stopped even in the snow. The craftsmen are doing woodworking, carving and painting. It takes a craftsman a lot of time to complete the wood carving of a frame of window grilles. , more effort is wasted inside the building than outside the building. Fortunately, there is no shortage of craftsmen mobilized by this huge state machine. It does not take much time for one person to carve a door panel and window grille.
The snowflakes are as big as buckets and blow down Xuanyuan Terrace.
In the evening, the sun no longer knows where to look, and the snowflakes are falling more and more outrageously. Gui Ren put his hands in his sleeves and lost the energy to speak. When he opened his mouth, the upper and lower rows of teeth kept making noises. This thief was so cold that the snow was knee-deep when he stepped on it. , I'm afraid I won't be able to find my way home in the snow late.
After Liang Chuan took Qin Jing and Yuchitian for a walk around Bianhe Street, he had nothing to do and carried a jar of Yuye liquor from Yuxianlou on Maxing Street. He also took two huge fat goats and tied them upside down. The lamb's feet were placed on the carriage. The only vegetables in season were lotus root slices and radishes, which were perfect for hot pot. We returned to Liangjiazhuang happily.
No matter how heavy the snowflakes are in Zhuangzi, there are always patrols around. The members of the intelligence team hung two red lights at the gate of Zhuangzi. Seeing the owner dragging the fat sheep home again, knowing that he could cook hot pot and eat it again in the evening, he rubbed his red hands fiercely and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The boss knows the hardships of these team members on guard duty, and always leaves the most juicy ribs for them so that they can fill their stomachs when they are off guard, just to prevent them from leaving their posts without permission just for a bite of food.
They quickly helped Liang Chuan carry the wine, meat and vegetables into the house. The sight of the food, wine, and meat made people's eyes light up. They just didn't like to touch the food, and they didn't know why. The boss ate the food so fiercely, as if he was a starving man.
Is it that delicious?
If they weren't so hungry that they couldn't help it, and they didn't have anything to eat, whose family would like to eat vegetables? It’s not like cattle or sheep eat so happily.
The boss is different. Not only does he eat it himself, but he also keeps urging everyone to eat with him. If you eat more of this stuff, you will be much smoother when you go out the next day, and your face will not be shiny. In short, you can't eat too much meat, vegetables It has almost become his mantra to eat less.
Later, the joke reached the ears of Yelu Zhongguang without knowing how. Yelu Zhongguang scolded these unkind little beasts and said: "You really think that the boss doesn't like eating meat? The boss is capable of catching a tiger." You can eat five kilograms of meat if you don’t talk a lot. After eating the meat, why don’t you drink the northwest wind and go to the snow to eat the snow? Why don’t you save the time and let you gluttons beat your teeth first? Let me hear your plans for the boss later. Don’t blame me for falling out!”
When the members of the intelligence team heard Big Brother's words, they were all in awe and cried bitterly. The boss was sincere and sincere for them.
All the people in Zhuangzi gathered in the lobby. What Liang Chuan likes most is to gather people together, close the door and eat meat and drink wine together. He hates the scene where everyone closes the door and gathers in twos and threes for a drink. How nice it is to be happy together!
There were several tables in the lobby, with about eight people on each table. There was a copper pot on the table. The red-hot charcoal was very hot. The broth turned out to be white bubbles soon after it was poured into the pot. The mutton is the same on every table. Two fat sheep weighing more than 200 kilograms are enough for more than 40 people to have a full meal.
The wine at Yuxianlou is particularly fragrant. They use their own unique brewing method, and the aroma of grains fills the lobby as soon as the seal is lifted. Everyone likes meat, but not necessarily wine. Although many people in the intelligence team can drink a few sips, they still feel uncomfortable after drinking too much.
It was quiet in the village.
Aguo walked out of the lobby holding a few thick and long radishes, ready to wash them in the kitchen. There is no place to find running water now. All the water has turned into ice cubes under the influence of low temperature. We can only take snow water and put it on the pot in the kitchen to boil for a while before using it.
Gugugu waited for the water in the pot to boil. When it was still not too hot, Aguo quickly threw the radish into the pot, picked up the loofah and wiped it vigorously to wash away the mud on the surface of the radish.
At this moment, a thunderous sound of hungry stomachs came from outside the kitchen. This sound was extremely familiar to her. She had lived this kind of hungry life every day in the island country, and she could still hear the sound. Something went wrong?
Aguo thought that one of the team members on guard duty was hungry and came to the kitchen to find something to eat. He put down the loofah in his hand and saw that he was not a member of the intelligence team. There was a well-dressed young man standing outside the room, standing with some restraint. In the snow, his head was covered with snowflakes, and there were two blood marks on his face, as if he had been scratched by some small animal.
This man was discovered by A Guo, a blush appeared on his face, turned around and ran away!
The visitor is none other than the current emperor, Zhao Zhen!
The completion of the renovation of the eight halls of the harem these days was originally a great and happy event that made people feel good, but it was not necessarily the case when it was placed on Zhao Zhen.
The head of the harem is the current Empress Guo. Empress Guo was established by the Empress Dowager Liu with the purpose of monitoring every move of the officials.
Zhao Zhen listened to the rumors instigated by the villains around him that his biological mother had been killed by Empress Dowager Liu since he was a child, and that Empress Dowager Liu had made him a puppet. He had no good impressions of the current Empress Dowager at all, and he had no good impression of the person appointed by Empress Dowager Liu to monitor him. The queen has no love at all.
Because of the jealous nature of women, Empress Guo usually did not let Zhao Zhen have contact with other concubines. This made him even more angry and dared not speak out.
This morning, Shang Meiren and Empress Guo were standing in front of the emperor. Shang Meiren was favored and arrogant, and Empress Guo was quarrelsome and jealous. The two of them didn't exchange a few words and had a quarrel in front of Zhao Zhen, regardless of their status.
Today's Shang Meiren doesn't know where she went wrong, but she actually mocked Queen Guo to her face for not having a son. The problem of giving birth to a son was not only a serious problem for Zhao Zhen, but also a pain point for the women in the harem, among other things. None of it was a problem, except that she couldn't bring up the matter of giving birth to a son in front of Queen Guo. This was Queen Guo's disobedience. How could she swallow this? He was extremely angry and gave Shang Meiren a slap in the face.
Women have been the tools of fertility since ancient times. It is a very cruel and real problem. It does not matter which woman has a son or not. However, even if she sits in the position of queen, she still has to worry about the son. This is the problem. The fatal crux.
Where is the dignity of the royal family when it is spread that one queen and one concubine are fighting in front of him? Zhao Zhen stood up to block the fight. Unexpectedly, Queen Guo slapped Zhao Zhen on the neck, and there were two pink blood marks on his cheek.
It’s the opposite! Women from the official family dare to disturb Long Live!
This made Zhao Zhen feel angry and aggrieved. My majestic Emperor Song couldn't even take care of household affairs, and even let a woman beat him. This man couldn't stand it anymore! Zhao Zhen rode his horse straight out of the west gate, followed by Xia Shouen and the imperial army, galloping all the way.
At this time, it was snowing heavily and the sky was darkening suddenly. Zhao Zhen threw away the imperial guards who were following him from a distance and plunged into the heavy snow. When he came to his senses, he panicked and looked around and suddenly lost his way. , I accidentally came to Liangjiazhuang.
Zhao Zhen also recognized A Guo. He had seen A Guo in Da Nei that day when the Japanese delegation came to visit him. He was afraid of being recognized by A Guo because of his embarrassed appearance, so he immediately turned around and left.
A Guo was also extremely kind and shouted loudly: "It's snowing heavily outside and you'll freeze to death if you wander around. Come back quickly. We're about to start dinner. I can hear your stomach growling."
Xia Shouen lost Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen was alone in the snow. As A Guo said, if he got lost in the snow, he might freeze to death. The imperial attendant was so frightened that his legs trembled. Shiver, if something unexpected happens to Zhao Zhen today, he can go with him. .
The snow is too heavy and the wind is too cold!
A hero doesn't want to suffer immediate losses. He will suffer for a while and then return at dawn.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen turned around and approached Aguo with a blushing face, and walked into Liangjiazhuang.
