Chapter Seventy-Five: The Difficulty of Ancestors and Grandchildren (2nd Update)
The eyes of the two men looking at Lin Archie were even more incredible, did she open her mouth?
"The glitz and clouds are all the same, and all kinds of splendor are always rejuvenated." The girl smiled happily, her little face was full of surprise, "The autumn cold is going to the earth, and the snow is coming." β
I still want to compose poems, and I seem to be in a good mood.
Yunqi looked at the happy little woman on the side, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"Snowflake!" Lin Aqi reached out from his cloak and took out his small hand to catch the small snowflakes that were scattered and scattered, and the ice crystals were white and melted into his hands.
She unfolded her cloak to pick them up, only to discover that they were indeed six-petaled, as rumored to be.
"It is said that no snowflake is exactly the same." Lin Aqi stared at the sky curiously, and what fell was a large area of white velvet flowers.
A thin layer of snow had accumulated on her little face, and the carriage had galloped past, and the strands of hair that had moved with the wind had gathered into a layer of white in the air.
Yunqi took her hand: "Come in, don't catch a cold." β
The flocks were close at hand, as if curious about the passers-by from afar, bleating and watching them go away.
Lin Archie refused, holding the pillar and still staring into the distance: "I still have to watch." β
Yunqi asked Qi Feng to stop the car and took out a few planks from the back of the carriage.
Lin Aqi jumped down: "What is this for?" β
I saw Qi Feng come forward to help, and after a while, the car was transformed into a "small square box" tightly sealed around.
A layer of transparent glass is installed outside the car curtain at both ends, and two wooden planks are installed on the car door. A layer of mist quickly formed on the white glass, and in the face of the continuous falling snowflakes, it appeared to be clear and transparent.
Lin Archie poked at the transparent object: "Is this glass?" β
Qi Feng clapped his hands after packing up his tools: "Do you know?" β
Lin Aqi nodded: "Shi Niang brought back a piece before, saying that the production process of this kind of thing is extremely complicated and it is very difficult to deliver, but the piece she brought back is not very harmonious with the window in our house, and it needs to be cut before it can be installed." β
"Why didn't I see it?"
Yun raised his eyebrows, he had lived in the Lin family for so long, and he had never found glass.
You must know that a piece of glass is worth a lot of money, even if it is used in the palace, it is very luxurious, and there are not many rich people in the entire Yungu Country who can have a lot of filled houses.
It seems that this Xing Sanniang is really a character, not only is she powerful, but she is also rich.
"Of course you won't see it! Because that piece of glass was so in the way, I used it to pad the bed. β
For a moment, there was silence all around.
"Pad what?" Yunqi seemed to think that the wind was strong, but he didn't hear it clearly.
"Cushion the foot of the bed." Qi Feng smiled and reminded kindly.
"yes, a piece of broken glass is useless, why don't you use it to pad the bed? Speaking of which, my bed crunched, turned over at night, and it was noisy to take a glass mat and sleep at night......"
This stinky girl didn't realize how amazing what she said, and even gave them a serious science on the correct use of glass.
"It's also good that you cut it and put it in the car, so that you can sit in it and watch the scenery."
Before the two of them could reply, she stood up: "Then I'll go in!" β
After seeing all the little sheep snowflakes, she was satisfied and ready to go into the car to sleep.
Yunqi put forward a burden: "Since it's all parked, let's eat something to pad my stomach first." β
Lin Aqi thought about it, there is still half a day to go to a village and town: "That's good! β
The three of them sat under a nearby tree, and Qi Feng fed the horses before coming to eat with them.
Lin Aqi first drank the medicine that Danxin had prepared to keep warm, and then he was busy holding a big steamed bun and nibbling it.
"Hmm-" she sighed with satisfaction, "After drinking the medicine, I only feel that this steamed bun is very sweet, could it be that Danxin specially added a lot of sugar when he made it?" β
Qi Feng sat down and smiled: "How can anyone make steamed buns and put sugar directly?" β
Lin Archie's eyes lit up: "Maybe there really is!" Then when we go back, we can just take the flour and try it, but it should be a sugar bun, so it won't be called a steamed bun. β
Yunqi and Qi Feng fantasized about the nondescript bun, and they both had smiles on their faces: "You have a lot of ideas. β
Lin Aqi smiled proudly: "How can white sugar be enough?" Try some brown sugar, brown sugar, and brown sugar together, maybe you can put something else in it. β
Qi Feng thought she was whimsical, but Yun Qi thought it was a business opportunity: "Dayun only has all kinds of meat buns, and the price is not cheap for ordinary people. If you develop more bizarre bun categories, you may be able to sell well. β
Lin Aqi nodded, chewed the steamed bun and said vaguely: "Seconded!" I feel like someone is already queuing up to snatch my Lin's buns! β
"Poof-" Qi Feng didn't hold back, and a mouthful of tea squirted out.
Lin Aqi kicked him in disgust: "Be civilized!" β
Before the words fell, an elderly man with his grandson stood behind Lin Aqi, and as soon as he spoke, Lin Aqi was startled.
"Miss Gui, can you give some food to my grandson?"
When the three of them heard this, they immediately vacated a piece of land and invited the old man to eat with the children.
The two of them burst into tears, took the food and thanked them again and again: "Thank you good people!" Thanks a lot! β
Lin Aqi waved his hand and smiled happily: "The old man doesn't have to be polite, it's just that a little food is nothing." β
Yunqi frowned for a long time before he said, "Why did the old man take the child away on a snowy day?" β
Lin Aqi and Qi Feng noticed the belongings placed not far behind them.
It's not entirely accurate to say that it is a household belongings, a rolled-up futon, with some pots and pans tied to it, and a large cloth bag containing what should be winter clothes and other miscellaneous items.
The child devoured the big steamed bun given by Lin Aqi, licked his mouth and said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, I haven't eaten such a delicious thing for three days." β
The old man wiped his tears and responded: "Good boy, I have made you suffer." β
The child handed him the other one in his hand: "There is another one, grandpa eats." β
"Grandpa still has it on him, you can eat it."
"Grandpa lies, mother says that lying children will become 'big ugly mouths', grandpa has no steamed buns at all!"
The two of them refused to eat it, which made the eyes of the three of them slightly red for a while.
Lin Aqi put down the half-eaten steamed buns, and ran to the back of the carriage to pull out the snacks that Danxin had prepared for her: "If you haven't eaten enough, child, take these with you." β
It doesn't matter if she doesn't have snacks, the child is so young, she can help a handful.
The child shook his head and refused: "Mother said you can't be greedy." β
Lin Aqi smiled at him: "This is not greed, this is what I gave you voluntarily." β
The child then saluted her and took it: "Thank you, sister." β
After Lin Aqi did this, he asked the old man who wiped his tears: "Old man, can you tell me in detail, when did it happen to be so wandering?" It's homeβ"
"Not at home." The old man choked up, "The house we live in collapsed in the summer rainstorm. The local government did not do anything, and we never paid the relief money, so we really couldn't survive, so we went all the way to the north to our old relatives. β
"Summer?"
The three of them were shocked, it was winter, how could the rescue have been delayed so far?
"Has the old man ever inquired about the news of his former residence? Maybe I'll be able to dial in for help after you leave. Yun Qi got up and handed a cup of tea to the old man.
Qi Feng also came over: "Yes, this year's summer rainstorm, the imperial court allocated three million taels of silver to the south for disaster relief, and now sent the horse master Jiang Zhan to the south to inspect, just to prevent the rainstorm next year from becoming a disaster, if the officials colluded with corruption, it should have been found out at this moment." β
Jiang Zhan's ability, Yun Qi and Qi Feng both know it in their hearts, and they will definitely not make trouble until now, and the people are still alive and there is no movement.
The old man bowed down and wept bitterly: "It's not that my family hasn't gone back to visit halfway, after all, it's hard to leave the homeland, and the villagers are hard to give up, but those who go back, no one will come out!" β
What the?
Lin Aqi only felt that the snow was flying all over the sky, and her bones were seeping into the hail: "No one came out, what do you mean!?" β
Her voice was cold and urgent, and the child was frightened by her and hid behind her grandfather: "Those people arrested my father and mother, saying that they deliberately spread rumors, and said that my family was not local at all, and directly put my father and mother in prison, and also blasted me and my grandfather out of the city gate." β
Qi Feng clenched his fists angrily: "There are still such presumptuous people in the world!" β
Yunqi's face was also not good: "Are the other folks like this?" β
The old man cried breathlessly, and the words were still children: "They are more pitiful than me and grandpa, some people talk very loudly, the whole family was captured by officers and soldiers, my grandpa and I ran fast, hid in the crowd and were pointed out, but they were too lazy to care about us, my grandpa and I promised not to go back, they drove us away." β
What presumptuous!
In today's peaceful world, there are still such arrogant robbers who drive out the people! Do they think they are thieves from an enemy country that invades the south?
"Where is your hometown?"
The old man trembled and replied: "Huanzhou Dependents." β
The most severely flooded areas this year are in the area south of the Yangtze River, and Huanzhou is also one of them.
Yunqi gave the old man a double plum dart, enough companions and food, and urged them to go to the capital to find an old gentleman surnamed Zhou in the Xiang'er Hutong, where Yunqi's cronies lived, and someone would naturally arrange for him and his grandson to stay at that time.
The old man thanked him and took his grandson to the direction of the capital.
I hope they can arrive in the capital smoothly.
Lin Archie took one last look and got into the carriage.
The carriage and horse continued to gallop, and in the vast ice and snow, only the noisy sound of a carriage and horse galloping in the snow.
After entering Huaiguan County, the snow fell less, and the three of them found an inn to prepare to sleep, but Lin Aqi entered Yunqi's room with a cat's waist.
"Do what?" He was about to pick up a pen to write a letter when he closed the letterhead.
"Are you going to write a letter to Huanzhou to investigate?"
She actually guessed.
Yun Qi fortunately didn't hide it from her: "Hmm." The matter of the grandfather and grandson is not like a coaxing, but the true feelings are unbearable, although the investigation is carried out in secret, but it must be discussed with the uncle in advance. β
"The horse master is very powerful." Lin Aqi held his face, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be very worshipful.
Yun Qi raised his eyebrows: "You know him?" β
