Chapter 15: Wo Dong
Although Aunt Shunzi may not agree with this point of view very much, however, they have been in this Zhuangzi for several months, and after the initial run-in, although they are slowly getting used to life here, they are also slowly beginning to feel lonely. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
She has a husband and two children, how can she live her life, but Jane's mother is different. Jane's mother's husband and children are dead, and now she doesn't even want to go out of the door except for needlework all day, and she feels cold and panicked when she thinks about it.
To be honest, she doesn't know what Miss thinks, but it is indeed a good choice to have a lively meal like today, at least, to make Zhen's mother, who has been dull, happy for a while.
Thinking of this, her insistence on Miss was also immediately relieved: although Miss was a little stubborn, she was extremely kind-hearted, and at a young age, she could always consider others, which was more thoughtful than their adults.
As she said, anyway, behind closed doors, people outside don't know how they live, although there are some bad rules in doing so, but judging from the current form, the day when Miss will return to the Hou Mansion is still far away. She was aggrieved enough to be abandoned by her relatives to this place, so why didn't they follow her a little more and make her a little happier?
As soon as Aunt Shunzi's heart softened, the rules behind became more and more relaxed, and in the end, even Uncle Shunzi and Zhao Hu went to the table together, and the lively dinner party completely blocked the cold of winter out of the door, of course, that was a later story.
"Skiing?" Xue Ying, who was originally reading the villain book on the couch with the quilt crooked, suddenly lit up when her eyes lit up, "Where?"
Qiao Ya pointed in a direction: "The gentle slope on the left outside the door, close to the outside side." I heard that all the children in the Zhuangzi had gone, and I heard that it was fun! Also, didn't we see a big lake on the road when we came? Master said that now the lake has frozen, and in a few days, when the ice is thick, we can skate on the lake. ”
"Wow, I want to go—" Xue Ying suddenly looked fascinated. In her previous life, she had only seen a few light snows when she was in college, and the ground was almost like a layer of salt, and she didn't feel anything other than cold. Skiing and skating, I have only heard of it and have not seen it with my own eyes, let alone experienced it firsthand.
Seeing her appearance, Qiaoya immediately guessed her thoughts, and directly broke Xue Ying's fantasy without adults telling her: "You can't go, now that the house is burning charcoal, you still have to cover the quilt, if you really go out, what if you pay it back?"
The reason why she said that just now was just because she was afraid that the young lady would be bored in the house, and she would tell some new things to relieve her boredom, but she didn't have the slightest intention of encouraging the young lady to go out and "mess around".
"Where?!" Xue Ying was unconvinced, "I go to boxing every morning when I get up, and I don't know how good my body is." It's okay for so many children in Zhuangzi to go to play, and I'm sure I'll be fine. "Her small body was really not in good condition before, and although it took a few months to get fit, it was still not as good as Qiaoya and other children who grew up in Zhuangzi.
However, she thinks that she is not Sister Lin who can be blown down by a gust of wind, her fitness in the past few months is still effective, she is now much easier to climb the mountain than before, and she has been in winter for so long, and she has no cold or fever or anything, so it can be seen that the foundation is still improving. The reason why she is still nesting in the quilt is to seek comfort, after all, this winter is bitterly cold, and she has not seen it in her last life for more than 20 years!
"Shhh, don't mention boxing, you don't dare to let Zhen's mother know about it until now!" It was Dong Xun who covered her every morning, so she could stick to this matter, and fortunately, Zhen's mother was busy doing needlework all day and didn't notice, otherwise this yard would definitely be "flooded".
Xue Ying pursed her lips and leaned back on the cushion with some unhappiness. After all, she is not a child who has just begun to learn to read, and she reads books very quickly, and she has read the villain book several times a few days ago, and gradually loses interest, and now she is feeling bored.
But the people here don't like to move in winter, and they don't go out of the door, so she is even more bored.
With her eyes rolling, she lifted the quilt and got up: "Let's go." ”
Dong Xun was also looking down to read a book, but when he heard this, he hurriedly got up, took a thick coat for Xue Ying to put on, and followed him to the door.
Qiaoya hurriedly followed: "Miss, where are you going?"
"Shhhhh Zhen's mother walked out: "Miss, in this cold day, don't run around, be careful of the wind!"
"I don't go out, I just want to find some books in the storeroom in the courtyard outside. ”
"It's dirty and messy in the warehouse, where is the place where Miss should go?" Zhen's mother rarely straightened her face, "If you want anything, tell someone to find it, Miss should stay in the room and wait for the weather to warm up before going out!" After speaking, Zhen's mother couldn't help but take Xue Ying back to the house and escorted her back to the bed.
Grabbing the quilt to cover her face, Xue Ying let out a long sigh. What do you say about the childhood that a bear child should have, if it goes on like this, he will have to spend months in a daze in his room.
Just now, I just lifted the curtain, and the room was already a little cold, which showed how cold the weather was outside. Dong Xun went over to add carbon to the stove, Qiaoya looked outside, saw that it was white, sighed, and returned to the couch to continue chatting with Xue Ying.
"My mother said that this year is very cold, and in previous years, it would take at least a month for the lake to freeze completely. ”
"Huh?" Xue Ying pulled down the quilt, revealing a pair of dark eyes. "Will it be cold again?" She is still very unfamiliar with the environment of this world, if it continues to be cold, what will the days become?
"I don't know. Qiao Ya shook her head, thought about it, and lowered her voice, "I secretly heard Master and Zhao Zhuangtou chatting yesterday, saying that it is so cold this year, and there may be a war next spring!"
Xue Ying blinked and remembered.
If the winter is too long and cold, most of the livestock raised by the northern nomads will freeze to death, and after the beginning of spring, they will run out of food, and they will go south to plunder the food of the farming people to maintain the survival and reproduction of the group, which is a frequent occurrence in human history.
Generally speaking, such wars, although disastrous to the military and civilians on the northern frontier, do not affect the rule of a dynasty. If the Central Plains is a relatively tough dynasty, it will defend and even fight back, but if it encounters a weaker emperor, it is about sending a large amount of food and cloth to avoid wealth and disaster.
So what will this dynasty be like now?
The place where they live now is far away from the border, and it stands to reason that even if there is a war, they can't be disturbed here, but I don't know why, Xue Ying feels stuffy in her chest when she thinks of the war scene strewn with corpses all over the field, and she feels a little out of breath.
"Amitabha. She couldn't help but blurt out.
"Miss, what are you talking about?" Qiao Ya asked curiously, not hearing clearly.
"Nothing. Xue Ying shook her head and asked casually, "And then, what else did you hear?"
"It's nothing. Qiaoya shook the pigtails on her head, "It seems that there is something about the Nine Emperor Princes, saying that even if he survives this winter, he will not be able to survive the border war in next spring." ”
