Chapter 80: Eighty
eighty
There are a lot of children in Heifeng Village, but Hu Pengcheng, as the young master of the county master's family, still has some swaggers, and he doesn't look down on these children in the mountains who have never seen the world, and he only likes to play with Xu You and Ah Chu. Xu You was also in a panic in the house, and immediately called Ah Chu to build a snowman on a flat ground in the middle of the stockade to play.
"I don't know what's going on with Yamashita now?" Hu Pengcheng is older, and his mind is full of thoughts of killing Hu people and making military achievements, but the Hu family is just such a man as him, how could Lord Hu let him go to the battlefield, almost even deceived and coaxed him to send him up the mountain. Hu Pengcheng originally thought that no one was watching on the mountain anyway, and as soon as the guards at home left, he took the opportunity to slip down the mountain, not wanting to go up the mountain The second day of heavy snowing, and then the mountain road was closed.
"We're going to win." Ah Chu puffed up his little face and said seriously: "My father said that the Hu people are all grasshoppers after the autumn, and it won't be long before they jump." By the beginning of spring next year, we will be able to go back. β
"The beginning of spring next year is still far away." Hu Pengcheng was a little depressed, and suddenly remembered that Zhao Cheng was here, turned his head and asked Xu You, "Xiaoxue, has Brother Shun received a letter recently?" Is he good in the capital? Zhao Chengjin's identity was not widely announced, even Hu Pengcheng only knew that he had returned to the capital to reunite with his relatives, but nothing else was clear.
Before Xu You could reply, Ah Chu hurriedly spoke, "Of course Brother Xiaoshun is fine, he has letters every month, and he used to ask someone to send things over." When he spoke, his little hand touched his pocket for a long time, and finally found two candies, handed them to Hu Pengcheng, and said: "Brother Xiaopeng eats candy, this is sent by Brother Xiaoshun from the capital, and Yunzhou can't eat it." There wasn't much candy left at home, and Ah Chu was still a little reluctant, although he handed over the candy, his eyes were still glued to it, and he was reluctant.
Hu Pengcheng is a young man in the end, where can he not see his thoughts, smiled at him, pushed the candy back, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's really rare to have a few pieces of candy from you." β
Xu You also pursed his lips and smiled, "Brother Xiaopeng, don't worry, no matter what happens to Yunzhou, we can't help left and right, it's better to live a good life, otherwise, if you continue to worry like this, when you go down the mountain in spring next year, I'm afraid your hair will be gray, be careful that Lord Hu can't recognize you." β
"But the days here are really boring," Hu Pengcheng sat on the snow and sighed, and after a while, his eyes rolled slightly, hunched his waist, lowered his head, and whispered to Xu You and Ah Chu: "Why don't we go down the mountain and have a look?" β
"Ahh......h
"What am I!" As soon as Hu Pengcheng saw Ah Chu's reaction, he knew that this little ghost would definitely not agree to his proposal, so he set his sights on Xu You. He remembered that Xu You was not an honest and well-behaved little girl, but this time Xu You did not immediately respond as he wished, but solemnly shook his head and refused, and taught him righteously: "Brother Xiaopeng, you are not too young, how to act is not as good as Ah Chu." What time is it, there is a war under the mountain, I don't know how many people will die in the road, not to mention whether you can help when you go down the mountain, just in this cold and freezing weather, you really get out of the village, but you may not be able to go down the mountain. When the time comes, if something happens, the big guy will have to go to you. If there is any accident on the way to find someone, will you have a good conscience at that time? β
Hu Pengcheng was stunned by her, and looked at her stupidly and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Okay, you yellow-haired girl, do you know who Lu Dao is talking to. A country girl dares to teach my eldest brother a lesson, you don't want to live. Behind him, out of nowhere, a person came out, wrapped in a thick winter coat, and a long fashionable cloak, revealing a small face behind the snow-white fox fur, Xu You looked at it for a long time, and recognized her as the second lady of the Hu family, who had a relationship in the city last time.
However, last time on the street, this second lady was much gentler, and he had spoken to her like this.
Hu Pengcheng's face changed slightly, a trace of impatience suddenly flashed on his face, and his tone of voice was a little stiff, "I'm talking to Xiaoxue and them, what are you talking about." After that, he turned around without giving any face, didn't even bother to look at her, said "sorry" to Xu You, and then ran away in a hurry.
The Hu family has only one male in the Hu family, Hu Pengcheng, and the rest of the younger sisters are all concubines, and Mrs. Hu has never been raised personally, so Hu Pengcheng is not close to these sisters, and because several aunts love to stir up trouble, so that he is tired of the house and Wu, and he has no good feelings for these sisters, and he rarely has a good face on weekdays.
But in any case, no matter how much Hu Pengcheng didn't treat them, and he never made her ugly in front of outsiders, Miss Hu Er was about to cry, but she didn't dare to attack Hu Pengcheng, and she sent her anger towards Xu You. Xu Yu couldn't handle it, so he patted his ass as if he didn't see her, and pulled Ah Chu to run away.
Miss Hu Er was the only one left in the huge snow, she was angry and aggrieved, and finally cried "wow-".
As soon as Miss Hu Er returned to her yard, she preemptively complained to Mrs. Hu, and then made a gesture of worrying about Hu Pengcheng and said: "Mother, the eldest brother has a straightforward temperament, how do you know that those sluts are full of bad ideas, and they don't look at what her identity is, she hooks the eldest brother outside all day long, and how many people are looking at itββ"
"Bang-" There was a sound, Mrs. Hu put the tea cup in her hand on the table fiercely, glanced at her coldly, and asked without a trace of emotion in her voice: "What are people doing?" What did Brother Peng do again? People are generous and innocent, how come your mouth is full of male thieves and prostitutes. How old are you, who taught you this! β
Miss Hu Er is only twelve or thirteen years old, although she can't say how much attention she receives in the Hu family on weekdays, but she has never been reprimanded by her grandmother so facelessly, she was immediately frightened and turned white, her legs fell down as soon as her legs were weak, tears fell down, and she wanted to say a few more quibbles, but Mrs. Hu had already beckoned someone to pull her down, "...... Give me a good reflection in the house, and when I will be sensible before I release it. β
The subordinates immediately took back Miss Hu Er, who was as pale as paper, half-pulled and half-mopped, and Mrs. Hu was still a little upset, and drank two cups of hot tea in succession, but she was still not happy, so she simply got up and put on her clothes and went out, intending to bring back the rough-hearted son. As a result, before he went out, he saw Hu Pengcheng rushing home with a tense face.
"You little bastard!" Mrs. Hu was suddenly angry, and rushed forward to pinch Hu Pengcheng's ears, so skillful that Hu Pengcheng had no time to hide.
"Mother, you tap! It hurts to death! Hu Pengcheng's tears were about to come out, and his voice changed tone, "Mother, you want my life." My ears are falling off! β
"Now Zhilu Dao hurts!" Mrs. Hu saw him put on a pitiful appearance, and her heart was a little soft, so she let go, lowered her face and asked, "Let me ask you, did you go to Meng's house just now?" What to do with the Meng girl? β
Hu Pengcheng immediately understood, and jumped angrily, "I just knew that the dead girl was going to sue you!" Mother, you don't have anything to do and take care of them carefully, even if you don't crawl out of your stomach, you are still from our Hu family, and it is not our family's face that you will lose when you go out in the future. I really think of myself as a daughter, and I don't look at what kind of place this is, and I shout at the girl of the Meng family, so that people can see it, and I don't know what to say about us. β
Miss Hu Er reprimanded Xu You for not mentioning it to Mrs. Hu, but now when she heard Hu Pengcheng say it, Mrs. Hu was also a little uncomfortable, and after a pause, she blamed again: "You too, how old are you, why are you still so ignorant, you don't have anything to say to other little girls, if you are seen by outsiders, you are just a boy, and the reputation of other little girls is important!" β
Hu Pengcheng became more and more annoyed when he heard this, "Mother, what are you talking nonsense, I just said a few words to her, I can't even see a few people on this mountain, and my mind is almost suffocated at home all day long, if I don't talk to her, do you want to talk to those stinky girls?" How old is Xiaoxue, how dirty people can think crookedly. β
"You're saying you're dirty!" Mrs. Hu was about to pluck his ears again, Hu Pengcheng hurriedly jumped back two steps and hurriedly dodged, and said in his mouth: "Mother, why are you so unreasonable, I went to find Xiaoxue, but I just wanted to inquire about Brother Shun'er." Brother Shun, do you remember? β
Mrs. Hu finally stopped, her eyebrows raised, "Brother Shun?" Is it the child who used to live in Meng Zhutou's house? Where did he go? β
"I'm back in the capital." Hu Pengcheng grinned and rubbed his ears, and replied in a low voice: "His family is in the capital, and he stayed in Yunzhou after being separated from his family before, and then his family came back from the capital. In the past three days, I sent letters and things to Yunzhou, what candy, dried fish, and muslin cloth, just like a merchant. That bastard kid, he only remembers Xiaoxue and Ah Chu, but he doesn't remember to write to me. β
Mrs. Hu was slightly surprised in her heart, what is the situation in Yunzhou in the past six months Hu Pengcheng doesn't know Lu Dao, how can she not know Lu Dao, whether she goes out of the city or enters the city, she is extremely strict, and Brother Shun can send things to Yunzhou twice in three days, it is really hand and eye. What's even more surprising is that what he sent all the way away was not gold and silver belongings, but these daily gadgets, which were clearly intended to be exchanged for a long time.
This kind of behavior is not like a small family, and thinking about the bearing of Zhao Chengjin who she had seen before, Mrs. Hu suddenly had an idea in her heart.
"I don't have anything to do in the future, go to Meng's house for a walk." Mrs. Hu sat back on the kang slowly and methodically, and gently admonished: "Meng Zhutou is not here, the family is full of old and weak women and children, don't be bullied." She calculated in her heart, and slowly figured out something, although Meng Xueliang is just a catcher, but this is a good time, if it is really as she expected, there are people in the court, I am afraid that it will not be long before she is promoted, and the future may be bigger than the Hu family.
Although the little girl of the Meng family is young, she looks good, and she is also a stable and generous person, and she is the only daughter of Meng Zhutou, so she will naturally plan for her son-in-law in the future...... Anyway, the little girl of the Meng family is still young, and this marriage will not be settled for a while, so it is not a bad thing to let Hu Pengcheng have more contact with her. Not to mention elsewhere, there is no young man in the entire Yunzhou City who can compare to his own son. As for Zhao Chengjin, who was far away in the capital, Mrs. Hu naturally excluded him.
Mrs. Hu naturally couldn't guess what Hu Pengcheng was thinking, but when she heard her mother suddenly change her words, she was inevitably surprised, and said: "Didn't you train me just now, and let me run to Meng's house at this time, it's really an idea for a while." β
Mrs. Hu raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a smile, "Then are you going or not?" β
"Go, go!" Hu Pengcheng immediately replied in a hurry: "I went to play with Ah Chu and Xiaoxue, and the family was suffocated." With that, he ran out of the city as if fleeing.
When Hu Pengcheng got out of the courtyard, Mrs. Hu lowered her face and instructed the subordinates around her: "Tightly tie up with those things in the house whose eyes are on the top of your head, and if you dare to mess around on the mountains again, you will immediately drive me out." Also, when I meet people from the Meng family in the future, they will be polite to me. β
Although the subordinates didn't know why she suddenly changed her attitude, she didn't dare to ask more, bowed her head and responded, and went to the two courtyards to convey Mrs. Hu's words.
On the side of the capital, Zhao Chengjin led Shen Rong and Brother Heping to finally find the place where the snow group was buried. The creek is still the same as it was back then, the big trees on the side of the stream are getting taller and taller, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of decaying branches and leaves, Zhao Cheng walked to the edge of the tree step by step, and slowly stretched out his hand to remove the dead branches and leaves on the ground little by little, and the immature words on the tree were revealed.
"Snow is buried here." Zhao Chengjin said in a low voice, his voice was very calm, even with a hint of imperceptible ease.
The teapot, which had not moved all the way, seemed to notice something, and suddenly became excited, and while screaming, he squeezed forward and stretched out his paws to dig the soil, as if he wanted to dig the snow out of the ground, but Zhao Chengjin grabbed his tail and pulled it away.
"Don't make a noise about it," Zhao Chengjin patted the back of the teapot and said in a deep voice, "Let her ...... Lie down in peace. β
Shen Rong's face was heavy, he took three sticks of incense from the basket, lit them and sent them to the small lonely grave, and solemnly made three candles. Brother Ping saw that the two of them had solemn faces, and his heart sank, and he didn't dare to say a word, after thinking about it, he also took three sticks of incense from the basket on the ground, lit them in the same way as Shen Rong, shook them, and inserted them in front of the grave of the snow group.
The guards in the distance looked at it, and they were all solemn.
At first, some of the guards in the house did not talk quietly, but then they heard that the cat had saved the life of the son one after another, and everyone dared not speak anymore. If it is true, when the son of the world had an accident, he finally let a cat give up his life to save people, and it cannot but be said that it was the dereliction of duty of their guards.
After Zhao Cheng worshipped, he shoveled some soil and piled up the small grave bag taller, Shen Rong saw this, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "The prince doesn't plan to move the grave?" β
"It's right here," Zhao Chengjin turned around slowly, looked up and looked around, and exhaled deeply, "It's very good here, there are mountains and rivers, and the bones are buried here, and the snow group must be very happy." What's more, the corners of his mouth hooked, and a smile involuntarily appeared.
