Chapter Twenty-Three: The First Snow (I)

The first snow first fell in small grains, like a very fine salt falling on the bluestone road, and then after an hour or two, the snow became heavier, and the plank road was paved with birch planks, and the accumulated water was a beach in the east and a beach in the west, making the plank road slippery and difficult to walk.

In a hurry, I am most afraid of encountering snowy days.

Lu Fei led the army in front of the horse, and pressed the speed of the whole convoy very slowly, rushing during the day, or staying in the post house at night, or the men set up cowhide tents to rest outside, and the women rested in the carriage, and after three or two days in a row, they did not leave Youzhou.

Jizhou Assassin Shi Zhou Tongling did not send soldiers and horses to inquire.

Zhou Tongling is about to stand, he is a young assassin at the top of the Great Jin Dynasty, he has led the military and political affairs for five years, and his background is not too humble, but he is not much better than the Shi family - in the eyes of the Lu family, no one can be regarded as a profound family.

Zhou Tongling's father did the position of the servant in the previous dynasty, as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and gave his son an official position to release the history of the assassination, and the Zhou family followed to take root in Youzhou, unlike Shi Meng, Zhou Tongling was not bold enough to regard Youzhou as his own ban, and the military and political positions in Youzhou were all dispatched by the saint.

At a time when the world was in turmoil, the Zhou family was too low-key and obedient.

Not all the small clans of the poor family are Shi Meng's virtue

Changting thought secretly.

Secretly telling Lu Xuan his thoughts, Lu Xuan laughed, drank all the hot tea in one gulp, and then left the next sentence, "Don't comment on a person." How can you judge their actions if you haven't seen them yet? Even the eyes can deceive you, not to mention the speculation of the mind. People will always do things that you never expect. ”

Changting nodded as if he didn't understand.

The Lu family's convoy is walking very slowly, the road is boring, Changning likes to lie in the Changting carriage and pull the sparrow and play the leaf card with Baile, the sparrow naturally wants to let it, Changning wins every time. After winning a few times, the little girl became complacent, "Every time I play cards with my eldest mother, I lose!" Along the way, there is progress in playing cards" As she spoke, the little girl's voice softened, and while holding the copper coins she won, she murmured, "I don't know if my mother received the letter I wrote."

Changting was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, she understood why Lu Sui walked so slowly.

It's one thing to prevent snow from skidding, and it's another thing for Lu Sui to wait for reinforcements sent by Heisei.

Zhou Tongling is timid, contented and honest, and the Lu family walks slowly within the boundaries of Youzhou, and there is no problem at all. Shi Meng acted treacherously, no one could have expected what he would do next, Lu Fei dragged his family with his mouth, naturally he couldn't take the safety of his family to take risks, and it was normal for people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

The first snow has not stopped, and it has been falling.

This is the first time that Changting has seen snow fall for such a long time, several juniors of the Lu family have grown up in the south, and have never seen it, the two little girls are still successful, shrunk in the inner compartment all day long holding a hand warmer to listen to Chen Yu studying, Lu Changying held on for three or two days, was blown by the wind and was cold by the snow, and finally couldn't stand the cold, and had no spirit to ride a horse to keep vigil, and had a high fever all night.

Rao is like this, Lu Xuan is only exempted from the vigil of his eldest son, and he is still not allowed to rest during the day.

Changting asked Chen Yu to cook brown sugar ginger soup every day, boiling medicine and crying and pulling Lu Xuan's sleeve to intercede, the eldest daughter had tears in her eyes, Lu Fei looked pitiful and finally waved her hand, and Lu Changying was able to get off the horse.

Following the carriage, one was about to be vacated, Changning happily packed up his things and wanted to move to the Changting compartment to live, and Fu Shi cried at Lu Xuan, "With such a little effort on the road, I can get close to the second girl." The eldest princess likes A-Ning, and I endure it when I feel uncomfortable. Gillian herself is still a little girl, how can she take care of A-Ning! ”

"Gillian can't take care of A-Ning, can you take care of it well?"

Running all the way, Lu Sui was already exhausted, seeing Fu Shi crying pear blossoms and rain, he couldn't help but swell his head, took a deep breath, sighed again, and finally softened his tone, "It's cold, wait for Youzhou, let A-Ning come and live with you." If you like it these days, you can ask the two sisters to come over to accompany you from time to time, and just let a carriage be vacated for Mao to rest his legs and feet. ”

When they arrived at the old mansion in Heicheng, the whole Lu family was staring, and if they saw that the stepfamily and the eldest daughter did not get along, Lu Xuan was afraid that the reputation of the eldest daughter would be affected.

Fu immediately stopped crying and immediately fell into deep sorrow.

Seeing Aning, he was naturally happy. But if it is the price of seeing A-Ning, it is to see Lu Changting's forever flat face

Fu Shi pulled his handkerchief, his face was blue for a while, and his face was white for a while. Forget it, she is not happy to see Lu Changting, Lu Changting is even more unhappy to see her, she can still do the math, she struggled to respond, and then added, "If Gillian herself doesn't want to come, you can't blame me"

Lu Xuan's face turned white, and he looked at Fu Shi like he was looking at a talking budgie parrot.

Youzhou is actually not big, and it can't be compared with Yong, Shu, Hebei, and Jizhou, but the Lu family's convoy has been gone for nearly ten days, and they didn't wait for the reinforcements sent by Lu Fan, but waited for the news that the heavy snow suddenly swept the sky and the news that Zhou Tongling personally rode a horse to visit.

When Zhou Tongling led two columns of soldiers to come, the Lu family was getting up early to stay in the post house, and the steward welcomed Zhou Tongling to the main hall to see Lu Xuan, Lu Changmao sat next to him, and it happened that the Changting cat was feeding Lu Changying medicine in the hugging building of the main hall, and he didn't have time to go out for a while, so he had to put down the cups and bowls lightly and look out through the cracks in the window lattice.

Zhou Tongling looks very delicate, speaks slowly and logically, and can see the white face and eyebrows even if he is dressed in a military uniform.

"The junior general order is to snub Lu Gong for a few days because of official business, and I hope that Lu Gong has a large number of people, and he will not blame the general order."

"Whether it is public or private, the Lu family is just a passerby, how can you blame Shi Yi?"

"Lu Gong doesn't blame nature, it's best."

After finishing his words, Zhou Tongling made another move, glanced at Lu Changmao, then turned around and walked out, crossed the threshold, paused his feet, and then turned around and smiled, "Lu Gong is out of Youzhou today?" The staff and military advisers watched the sky at night, saying that the wind and snow would be bigger in the next ten days, and if the snow was bigger, the horses' hooves would be stuck in the snow and they would not be able to get out. If the Duke of Lu needs it, he can send 5,000 soldiers and horses to escort you out of the city and cross the border. ”

Lu Sui also smiled, "Thank you for the kind reminder." ”

After that, nothing else was said.

Zhou Tongling smiled disappreciatively, and after bowing his hand, he immediately turned around and left.

The long pavilion is inexplicably attached to the window lattice, is this a cold reception for the Lu family? Not really, after all, people are coming, and the posture is in place, but the attitude is not enthusiastic. Lu Sui has been asking for this attitude all his life, don't stick to it, give yourself a face, and others will give you face.

As the sun rises, the wind and snow outside get heavier, and the wind and snow blow so hard that the window lattice "clangs", and the cool wind and snow blow from the cracks into the inner compartment.

Lu Fei spread out the map and considered it very carefully. "If you go out of the city now, this wind and snow can still top, speed up the horsepower and arrive in Licheng before sunrise If what Zhou Tongling said is true, if we don't go out of the city now, we will have to delay in Youzhou for nearly ten more days" Ten days, many things can be decided.
