Chapter 234: Heavy Snow
Chapter 234
As Mr. Cheng said, the heavy snow caused irreparable disasters after all.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, it snowed heavily in various parts of North County for three consecutive days. It is like a warning from God to years of war, and it is like a punishment for the ruler.
The two armies had fought to the point of exhaustion, and Cao's victory was in sight, but a heavy snowfall was almost a catastrophe.
All supplies were scarce, and the heavy snow almost cut off the road from the rear to the front.
At this time, Huaizhou Mansion did not know how many people's thatched houses were collapsed by heavy snow, and another catastrophe was coming.
The four maids went into battle together, steaming to clear the snow in the yard. In the hall, Cheng Dacai led his sixth son Cheng Huizhi and his youngest daughter Cheng Wanyu to drink in front of a pot of mutton hot pot.
"On such a cold day, you should eat hot pot at home. Duck hot pot, mutton hot pot, and dog hot pot are all good, but your mother likes to eat fish. "Cheng Da Rich has been out for a few days, and he has already missed his old wife a little.
"The snow was so heavy that the roofs of many houses in Sanhua Hutong were crushed. I don't know what happened to the tenants on Zhuangzi! Cheng Wanyu took a bite of mutton, and the meat was tender and tender, and it was probably less than two years.
"If your eldest brother can't do this thing, then the more he lives, the more he will go back!" Cheng Da is not worried at all, Cheng Bozhi's handling of general affairs is a bit muddy. But at best, this man is kind-hearted. Treat brothers sincerely, and treat tenants with a Zen heart.
"The road is not easy to walk, girl, or you will go home with your father!" Cheng Dacai doesn't know how many times he mentioned this matter to Cheng Wanyu.
Cheng Wanyu raised her face and said with a smile: "Dad, the snow is falling so hard. Our business has come to the door, how can we go back with confidence! ”
Cheng Da was stunned, picked his ears, and thought he had heard it wrong. Cheng Huizhi next to him heard the sound and knew the elegance, and his eyelids jumped a little excited: "You mean those medicines?" ”
Cheng Wanyu nodded and smiled meaningfully. Cheng Huizhi was even more excited. Then he frowned: "Even if the weather is bad, there are a number of people in this Huaizhou City." You may not be able to sell all of your medicines before! ”
Cheng Wanyu grinned: "It is said that the sixth brother follows me, there must be meat to eat." I never said that I would sell the medicine to the people of Huaizhou Mansion, and I didn't make that little money from retail investors. The mixture of two mouthfuls of gruel with two melons and dates is almost the same! ”
Cheng Da Rich Man became more and more confused, seeing his daughter so angry. Grinned and laughed at her twice: "Tut-tut! Still mix two mouthfuls of gruel to drink? Girl, my father still has a lot of food to sell. When do you sue me to let my father eat a meal of meat! ”
Cheng Wanyu looked at the sky outside. His chin pointed: "Isn't this opportunity coming!" ”
The old man was even more confused. Cheng Wanyu didn't think about it at all when she saw her father and brother. sighed in his heart: their family is too low-born, and although their business seems to be good, they have become rich people. But the foundation is too shallow, and the level of thinking is not high enough.
If it weren't for the fact that she had such a weapon as being reborn. There's no way she's going to think that way, either.
"Now that the war between the imperial court and the northern county has reached a critical juncture, what does it mean when suddenly there is a heavy snowfall?"
Cheng Wanyu led the words here, and the father and son looked at each other and patted the table and applauded: "Oops! ”
Cheng Da Rich Man couldn't help but admire: "In the end, the small one is stronger than the old one!" Sure enough, it's my species, it's courageous! ”
Thinking that this is the way that his favorite girl thinks of. Cheng Da Rich Man couldn't help but start ridiculing his son. Poor Cheng Liuye naturally became cannon fodder, but for the sake of business, he could only endure it.
"Shi Jun has always told me in his family letters. The grain and grass in the rear are getting tighter and tighter. I also found that the price of food in Huaizhou has quadrupled. What does this mean? It shows that there is a shortage of food and grass in the army, and the Cao family army is not too prepared for the sudden battle! And almost all the nobles of the chaebol family in Beijun are watching coldly, seeing if the Cao family's army is worth reaching out.
General Cao Xiao vowed to avenge his father, and he has been resisting in the name of the Qing monarch. originally thought that their Cao family had been in Beijun for many years. The major marriage families will definitely help.
It's a pity that all the marriage families that Cheng Wanyu knows have not helped. They almost concluded that the Cao Jiajun would definitely return.
After all, the old man died tragically in a foreign land. The small ones don't have much power. In the early days of General Cao Xiao's narrow victory, the attitude made by the major families was to cater to them.
But after this battle, General Cao Xiao still saw through the hot and cold world. The style of action is becoming more and more insidious and vicious. After that, there are always small forces in various parts of Beijun that are ready to move, and if they want to learn from General Cao Xiao, they must also 'occupy the mountain as the king'.
And Shi Jun is the one who suppressed this group of small forces that are beyond their strength, and the corpses are full of bones wherever the iron horse goes. In the end, the reputation left behind became more and more stinky, and finally ended up with the name of an executioner.
slaughtered the city, tortured and killed relatives, and watched his wife being kidnapped. This is one by one, and Cheng Wanyu has heard it from others. She didn't know how much was true and how much was false, but judging by the name of Shi Jun when Beijun's parents scared their children. * Not far from ten, the murderer can't run.
Now a heavy snow suddenly came, which Cheng Wanyu did not expect. But because of this, the big families will join forces to help the Cao family? No way! They will laugh behind their backs, waiting to see how General Cao Xiao died in the ice and snow.
There is no need for a single soldier in the imperial court, a heavy snow is enough to kill the Cao family's army.
Cheng Wanyu knew her chance had come!
If a woman is like this, what more can a husband ask for? If a wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for?
The rich man Cheng hurriedly returned home and took out all the old rice in the granary of Donglianghe. It is headed by the fourth son Cheng Jizhi, and the seventh son Cheng Ya's eighth son Cheng Youzhi is broken. He personally led the team and followed Shi Jun's henchman Tong Yong to send food to Cao's army.
Cheng Da Rich Man contributed 60% of this part of the grain, Cheng Huizhi contributed 20%, and Cheng Wanyu contributed 20% in his personal name.
Except for the old old rice used by Cheng Da Rich Man, the brother and sister both used new rice.
Why? Because the brother and sister had negotiated with many tenants in advance in order to make wine, they would harvest grain in the autumn and prepare for winemaking.
And Cheng Da Rich has lived in the countryside all his life, and a natural disaster has not shaken its roots, and a group of bandits have not touched its foundation. Save so much old rice, of course, take it out and give it away.
You must know that the Cheng family eventually fell, except that there was a loser in the family. In Beijun, where the Cao family is rampant, he has been holding the imperial plaque from the imperial court for many years. The local officials who saw the wind and steered the rudder would certainly not care about the life and death of the Cheng family.
Cheng Wanyu knew the power of the Cao family's army, and at this time, she would not let the old man show his heart and stand in line. In the future, if something happens, I will be "loyal" to send food in the snow this time. The Cheng family won't have any big disaster, this deal is too worthwhile! (To be continued) R655
