Chapter 121: People are unlucky for a reason

Chapter 121: All unlucky people have their reasons

On the seventh day of November in the third year of Chongzhen, it snowed heavily in Guanzhong!

Overnight, the weather became extremely cold. The cold wind rolled up the snow and blocked the road. Even the most hardy jackdaws huddled in their nests and did not dare to show their heads.

Qian Duoduo was wearing a green cotton robe, carrying a small bamboo basket, collecting snow on the frozen chrysanthemum flowers.

"Qian Duoduo, what are you doing sweeping the snow off the flowers?"

Xiao Chu, who had become a ball, revealed his round face from the window and asked in surprise .

Qian Duoduo smiled and replied: "The cold fragrance of the chrysanthemums has soaked into the white snow, which is just perfect for storing tea."

"Huh? The snow on the chrysanthemums and the snow on the ground make tea. Is there anything different?"

Qian Duoduo glanced at Feng Ying who was concentrating on writing and said: "This is naturally different. It turns out that the snow on the plum blossom petals is the best, but There are no plum blossoms here, so I have to make do with chrysanthemums, which is better than having no flowers at all."

"Oh, Qian Duoduo, what are we going to eat today?"

Qian Duoduo is close to the window. He raised his hand and pinched Xiao Chu's chubby face and said, "Have you eaten strips of meat for so many days, haven't you had enough?"

Xiao Chu shook his head and said, "You won't have enough for a lifetime."< /p>

Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "That's right. Last year, it was difficult for my family to have a bite of white rice. I didn't expect that just one year later, my family would have meat every day."

Xiao Chu said regretfully: "It's a lot of money. When the snow melts and the road opens, we will go back to Shizhu. We will never be able to eat the sliver meat you made again."

"Qian Duoduo, you are so kind, I will never forget you in my life."

Qian Duoduo chuckled and said, "I will remember you too."

After that, he went back to his room with the bamboo basket. Play with her cold perfume.

Xiao Chu returned to Feng Ying disappointedly, looked at the already packed salute, and sighed heavily.

Feng Ying looked up at the maid who had almost lost her human form and chuckled: "Save more fat now. You will lose weight after returning to Shizhu."

"Miss, are you just watching me get fatted by others?" Xiao Chu dove into Feng Ying's arms and acted coquettishly.

Feng Ying hugged Xiao Chu and whispered: "You are a glutton. You have followed me since you were a child but you have never had a few good meals.

Now that you have the opportunity, let If you eat a few delicious meals, your wish will be fulfilled.

It’s okay to be fatter. When you return to Shizhu, you will be urged to practice martial arts by Mrs. Qin, and you will lose weight in a few days.

Now, this Yun Zhao owes us half of his arsenal, so we naturally want to get some benefits back.

Before we get appropriate compensation, we will have to pay back some of it.Everything he eats and drinks here is his, Yun Zhao's.

Uncle Peng, Uncle Yaozi, they can't come forward, so we sisters can only deal with this Yun Zhao. We are all children, and we will never break up no matter how much trouble we make.

Okay now, although we didn’t get half of the arsenal, we got a lot of new crop seeds.

I have asked Mr. Xu that these new crops are suitable for planting in mountainous areas like Shizhu. Rather than having weapons in the arsenal, I want everyone in my family to have enough food. "

Xiao Chu lay in Feng Ying's arms, put his index finger in his mouth and said aggrievedly: "The food we grew was enough to eat..."

Feng Ying sighed. He said: "When an army sets out, it needs food. When it goes to war, it needs food. When it goes to defend the capital, it needs food. Don't blame Mrs. Qin. "

Xiao Chu nodded, then looked at Feng Ying and said: "Are we really going to leave Shizhu? "

Feng Ying nodded and said: "We are leaving. Some people are already very dissatisfied with us. If we want to continue to live in Shizhu, those boys who have grown up will go to the battlefield. Emperor Zhu Ming worked hard.

Before she died, my mother told me that we were not allowed to work for Emperor Zhu Ming. Anyone who worked for Emperor Zhu Ming would not end well.

I just want to lead my brothers and sisters to farm and live well, and I don’t want to work for anyone. This time I got a lot of money from Yunzhao. We can build our own village in the mountains and add more With these new grains, we can always live. ”

“However, Shizhu’s land belongs to the Ma family, and they refuse to give it to us. "

"Then leave the stone pillar and live by ourselves! "

While the two were talking, two servants in Qingyi came in carrying a brazier, placed it in the room, checked the vents, found no problems, and exited Feng Ying's room. .

“These people, like Uncle Peng and Uncle Yaozi, all came off the battlefield. Miss, you see, they all have disabilities. "

As soon as the two Qingyi servants left, Xiao Chu quickly told the young lady about his new discovery.

"There are seventeen disabled servants like Yun. "

"Miss, have you noticed? "

"I have discovered a long time ago that these people all came to Yunshi at the same time. Their disabilities were all caused recently and they have not adapted to the life of disability.

According to Uncle Peng's estimation, after a battle, only one out of ten seriously injured people will survive.

It seems that the Yun family fought a big war this summer, with more than 200 casualties.

Judging from the current situation of the Yun family, it was the Yun family that won this battle. More than two hundred people were lost in one battle. Uncle Peng guessed that the Yun family dispatched at least a thousand people.

Uncle Peng and Uncle Yaozi also said that the Yun family has become powerful, and the reason why they treat us politely now is because we are all members of the Qi family army.

So, we can’t mention the arsenal anymore. Without offending the Yun family, we can ask for more benefits., is what we can do. ”

“His family is so rich, well, they have a lot of food. "

Feng Ying smiled and pushed Xiao Chu's heavy body away and said: "As long as we are willing to work hard to farm, we will be so wealthy. "

The charcoal fire in the brazier was burning, and the room quickly became warm.

Xiao Chu looked at the charcoal fire and whispered: "Miss, let's eat Is roasted sweet potato good? This morning, Qian Shaoshao and Yun Zhao were roasting sweet potatoes in the study, and I could smell the aroma.

Feng Ying said with a smile: "Okay, we have nothing to do on a snowy day anyway, so we roast sweet potatoes and eat them. Remember to take the smallest ones, and we will use the big ones as seeds." "

When Xiao Chu heard that there was food, he happily ran out to get the sweet potatoes. The smile on Feng Ying's face gradually faded, and she looked at Yushan in the snow and murmured to herself: "I I don’t believe there is no place for us in this world! ”

Yun Zhao’s study is as warm as spring, mainly because Yun Zhao likes to use ground dragons, so he specially found someone to lay the ground dragons in his study before winter comes.

Laying the ground floor is very simple. Just dig out the ground in the room, lay the flue with blue bricks, then cover the flue with Sanhe soil, and finally lay the green bricks, and set up a stove outside the house. As long as winter comes When the time comes, the stove is lit and coal or firewood is constantly thrown into it. The natural warmth in the house is like spring.

There are only three rooms where Yun's house is laid, which belong to Yun Niang, her sisters and Yun Zhao.

Uncle Fu refused to lay earthwork in the house even to death. According to his simple and stubborn philosophy, doing so was a kind of transgression.

Yun Zhao didn't care about these things. , but Uncle Fu was very stubborn, so there was no such thing in the house where people like Yunmeng lived.

"He Renlong was punished by Hong Chengchou for fifty times and was demoted from the guard. Became a centurion.

In this letter, Hong Chengchou was very resentful towards us, blaming me for not helping He Renlong, which resulted in him being roasted on the fire by Zhang Lili and the civil servants. "

Yun Zhaoyang held the letter in his hand and said to Qian Shao Shao who was turning over the roasted sweet potatoes on the small stove.

Qian Shao Shao turned over the roasted sweet potatoes with a squeaking sound. He said: “It’s none of our family’s business, I think I shouldn’t contribute even a single cent. "

"I think so too. You bake more sweet potatoes. After a while, Yunyang, Yunjuan, Yunshu, Yunfei and Yunshu will all come back. This little sweet potato will not be enough." "

Qian Shaoshao's ears twitched and he said to Yun Zhao with a smile: "It's already here. "

Before he finished speaking, Yun Zhao heard the sound of rapid horse hooves outside the yard, and soon, Yun Yang's high-pitched voice appeared outside the yard.

" Yuan San, hurry up and take my horse to the stable, add more good stuff, and don’t forget to put on your riding clothes. You’ve been sweating all over from running just now, so don’t freeze it. ”

Yun Zhao moved his body to the corner of the bed. He knew what kind of character his brothers were. As long as they came, they would definitely squeeze in.On the bed.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and the cold wind swept in the snowflakes from outside. Yun Yang, who was wearing a sheepskin jacket, took off his leather jacket as soon as he entered the door and hugged Mr. Qian against his ribs. He got down, kissed her hard, then put it away, and said to Yun Zhao, who was sitting on the bed: "How about we go make a big deal?" Why have you forgotten Xue’s rules?”

Yun Yang laughed and said, “If I don’t use my family’s skills for a long time, I’m afraid I’ll forget about the money. Young Master, didn’t you follow Xiao Zhao to Xi’an Mansion six days ago? Can you rob Mingyue Tower again?”
