Seventy-five verses return to people on a snowy night
Zhu Wenwen is doing well in the local area, and his hands and eyes are all over the sky, in Weibo City, there are not a few people who follow Chen Tianyi behind the saddle and behind the horse, but the city ban has not been solved, there are only a few places to go, and he has just returned from the Northern Plains, and he may not be able to meet his playmates when he goes in, and what happened just now is not small, Chen Tianyi wanted to go home and tell his mother, so he didn't turn around indiscriminately and took his family all the way home.
When they came out, they did not prepare lanterns, so in order to walk along the place where there were lanterns, they took a detour, and as soon as they walked a street, the horses could not walk.
In order to be able to successfully impose martial law, the government gathered the short-term workers, homeless people, vagrants, and beggars on the street to the square of the city, and this road was to pass through the square...... It's a spectacle, it's cold, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the people who are covered in tatters don't know how there are so many, holding their arms, shaking and shrinking, covered in tattered cotton and rags, they are seeing what is wrapped in something, black and white flowers up and down, gray and ochre. Near the street, the government Wei 2nd Road appeased them and lit the lamp, and gave porridge at night to keep them warm, and people were chaotic and surrounded to beg for porridge.
A family member jumped off the horse suddenly, jumped up and grabbed Chen Tianyi's horse, Chen Tianyi couldn't help but tremble, these people who have not eaten or drunk can always bring fear, they stood together, looked over, in the field of vision, from the bright lights to the night, many people went to see the passerby, raised their faces were dirty, hair felt knots. The family reminded him, "Childe, let's go around." These people ...... Not all of them are honest people. ”
Chen Tianyi was silent.
For the conquest of the two countries, he actually didn't have much perception in his heart, although his mother said that Dongxia was his father's, in fact, he didn't care too much, who was not who, like two rich families fighting for land and calling for a fight, plus mixed with the voice of peace, although he held a small position in his heart, but he never wanted to die or live, let alone saw so many homeless people.
This is Webber City.
He has been studying in the North Plains for a long time, anyway, he has not seen it in the North Plains, and when he returned home, he always said that the servants of the family had fled and ran to Dongxia, and his mother had repeatedly reduced the rent for them in order to protect the land and pasture, and it was said that their family had a great name of benevolence in the entire Beizhou, but they still couldn't stop people from running to Dongxia. said that the people in the family ran to his father's country, but he didn't grow up with his father since he was a child, and he still felt uncomfortable, like Dongxia...... Not only did he become enemies of the landlords in the world, but even his own family could be deeply affected. He stood quietly, and suddenly had an idea, and turned back to his family and said, "I heard that the land at home is idle, so why don't you go back and tell your mother, and ask them out of the government to farm for our family." ”
What can the family say?
One of the family members showed his loyalty to his master's family and said, "Where is there no shortage of farming now?" These people can farm well, and they are all taken in by the manor. It's just that you're tired, at least you won't starve to death. ”
Chen Tianyi was silent.
But he was wondering why there were so many homeless people in Weibo, but it was rare in the Northern Plains of Eastern Xia.
Can't think of it.
He actually doesn't like Dongxia very much, in Weibo, he is the eldest son of a big family, once he goes out, he is hugged by the front and back, the servants are in groups, and the neighboring teenagers are all around, go to the North Plains, no one looks up to you, you look at the classmates are not pleasing to the eye, say a few words, he will give you all back, say it is heavy, he will fight with you.
He heard someone from the homeless people asking the government for soup porridge, and said loudly: "I heard that the imperial court has captured the Northern Plain, will the Northern Plain still be the same as before?" The man said loudly, "We are really not beggars, we are all strong and skilled people, and our families have suffered a disaster, and we heard that it is easier to make a living in the North Plains, so we went to try our luck and passed by here." ”
The official man sneered.
The family members around Chen Tianyi whispered to Chen Tianyi: "This person is really a fool, the imperial court is already at war with Dongxia, and he also told people that he went to the Northern Plains." ”
Chen Tianyi also thinks so.
How can a man be so stupid?
But the peasants in the countryside, aren't they all like this, do they know that the Northern Plains were not from the imperial court before? Those who are far away may not know, at most they know that the king of Dongxia is the king of the emperor.
This kind of questioning, if you ask for a crime, you will be arrested lightly.
However, no one will catch a homeless person for one sentence, just admonish him two sentences.
Chen Tianyi couldn't cry or laugh, he was about to turn around and leave, but he ran into that Feng Shanyu again, he felt unlucky today, he touched it twice a day, and then found that Feng Shanyu only took one person to walk, but he knew what was going on, other officials, all had family members with lanterns, he Feng Shanyu was the same as himself, no lanterns, no carriages, no families, just like his own group who forgot to bring lanterns, walking along the lanterns on the street.
Feng Shanyu passed by him, cast a glance, but rushed into it and walked.
Next, to Chen Tianyi's surprise, he Feng Shanyu walked straight to the place where the porridge was served, looking like he wanted to ask for a bowl to drink.
Shi's porridge?
This porridge is not that you are embarrassed to drink it, there has never been any good porridge, is it good porridge, ordinary people don't know how to take advantage of it, go and drink a bowl?
In good times, wheat, rice, and coarse grains are old and mixed with bran, and in bad times, they are mixed with sand and ash.
Chen Tianyi himself knows that the family has to take out the old grain every year to the government for almsgiving, and many of it is piled up in the warehouse for several years, moldy, rat-gnawed, and moth-eaten.
Feng Shanyu approached, but he was asking these people: "You don't look like beggars?" ”
His words were exchanged for countless repercussions.
People kept saying, "We belong to the Daimyo's Mansion, and we have suffered a disaster, and we have gone to the Northern Plains through the aisle, but there is a war, so we want to do some odd jobs in the city or something, and we will go again after the war." ”
Chen Tianyi and his family waited to see a joke.
Feng Shanyu approached the soup kitchen, already looked at the porridge around the cauldron, and took the spoon from one of the errand servants, scooped it, and looked at the thickness.
This official person, what is this for?
Do you really want to rub a bowl of porridge?
Someone has already asked Feng Shanyu: "Official." Do you know why there was a war in front of you? Several of my hometown people are in the North Plains, so I was supposed to look for them. ”
Feng Shanyu let out a long breath of white air and didn't speak for a long time. He turned his head left and right, and saw the child with frost on his face sitting in his mother's arms, stretched out his hand, as if to touch the child's face, but he didn't really dare to touch it, and withdrew his hand, so for a long time, he turned his head away, and whispered: "I'm passing by here, you, don't go to the North Plains, don't go to ......" After speaking, with the help of the people beside him, he walked with his head down, as if he had been ridiculed, discriminated against, and scolded and did not go back.
People kept shouting: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, this official wants to pass." ”
Feng Shanyu gradually disappeared into the crowd.
Chen Tian turned his attention to his group when he saw the homeless beggars, and he didn't stay for a long time, and promised his family, "Let's take a detour." ”
All the way home, the dark house is talking about these outless beggars and the strange old official, although he is not old. The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and it is gradually like goose feathers, Chen Tianyi sympathizes with those homeless beggars, the door of the house is wide open, and someone beats the snow on his body, pulls away the horses, he slowly turns his head, looks at it, and mutters: "I don't know if those people will freeze to death?" ”
Back home, from the gate of the mansion to the courtyards that enter and exit one by one, all of them are covered with lanterns, brighter than the streets, the snow is in the air, and the chrysanthemums are hanging down, which is a little warm, and it is more like a pleasant surprise for people...... Zhu Chang ordered people to wait for him, so that he could make a lot of details for him, a person who was not often at home.
Several maids came to him without making a sound, and one of them was carrying a fox fur. Chen Tianyi walked all the way, still telling them that he was not cold, but he didn't eat, the maid immediately shouted everywhere, it didn't take much effort, Zhu Chang himself also came, took Chen Tianyi to the warm pavilion in the east wing, and said while walking: "I already knew that the handsome man would not prepare a meal for you, but my sister drove you away without waiting for you to eat." He took the fox fur in the maid's hand, went to drape it for Chen Tianyi, and said softly: "These girls were all selected by my uncle for you." This time the North Plains is gone, so you don't have to go, right, tomorrow Weibo will have a banquet, people originally invited uncle, you bring people, you go, see the celebrity to propose marriage. Don't be like your uncle, no one cares and no one asks, the boss is not too young to marry your uncle......"
Chen Tianyi couldn't help but shout: "Uncle." ”
Zhu Chang's face immediately tensed, and he held back a smile and said, "Okay." Don't speak ill of your mother and grandmother. What do you want to eat. My uncle personally went to the house to supervise the battle and asked them to cook seventeen or eighteen dishes. ”
Chen Tianyi said: "I can't finish eating. ”
He recounted: "I went to school in Dongxia, and I was not allowed to go out to eat, so it would be nice to have three dishes. ”
Zhu Chang sent someone to stand a little farther away and asked in a low voice, "No one cares if you eat well or not?" Your aunt doesn't care about you? ”
Chen Tianyi said: "Tube." What's the matter? I couldn't send some beef and mutton at every turn, I couldn't eat it, Li Hu came back, and I came to me with the bees, saying to bring delicious food, what are you? The venison was half-cooked and smelled fishy. Zhu Chang sent someone to stand farther away, shook his head, and whispered, "Bees eat like that?" Why is their family so sloppy when it comes to eating and drinking? And he said, "Yes." Their family is also very particular about your aunt and grandmother, and they are wronged, and now they are back, they have everything, and our family does not lack anything, especially not lack money, and there is no shortage of cooks. In their house, they can't do good things. ”
Chen Tianyi agreed.
Seventeen or eighteen dishes?
Is it a matter of a moment?
Chen Tianyi shouted to his uncle who ran to tell the cook: "I have something to tell my mother, go over." Originally, I shouted and told Zhu Chang to know.
Zhu Chang ran back again, panting and said, "Your mother is in the attic in the North Garden, a little far, will you go after eating, or will I send it to you later?" Anyway, if you send it to you, you will be scolded, and your mother will see that she will make such a big table for you, and she will not be allowed to scold your uncle or scold you. ”
Chen Tianyi smiled and said, "It's not too far." I'm not like you, I eat fat, I go and come back, come back and eat. ”
Separated from Zhu Chang, he walked all the way to the North Garden.
The snow was falling quite heavily, Chen Tianyi asked for a mandarin duck hat from the maid, and he didn't let them follow, he carried the lantern by himself, and while walking, he was thinking about the conditions of the negotiation, he had a good memory, but he was afraid that his mother would ask him what he thought, and while recalling, he figured it out by himself.
When he arrived at the garden, the wind there was suddenly fierce, the snowflakes hit his face, and it hurt to fight, Chen Tian no longer had the mood to walk slowly, and walked all the way until there was a building blocking it, and the wind was not so intense.
The attic was already very close, and there were two lanterns pinned to it, and the top floor was already white, and the veil was covered above, and the veil flew around, but there was no other light.
Chen Tian must have stood still, wondering if his mother was not there, why there was no lamp, and he was hesitating to ask if his mother was there or not, a wisp of piano music floated, like a fine impact of ice and snow in a snowy day, but in a blink of an eye, it was overwhelming, like a cold winter.
