The snow-covered Xiaokun Mountain is different from the flourishing of spring and the maturity of autumn, but it has a chilling and solemn temperament, if ordinary people may be hindered by the chill of this skull and the difficult mountain road, but Liu Xu is just full of interest to admire the frost and snow of the small Kunshan, from time to time from the pine tree to take a fist-sized pine tower, put it in his hand to play carefully. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xiaokun Mountain is located in the northwest of Songjiang, the southernmost part of the nine peaks of Songjun, ranking at the end of the nine peaks, Lu Ji and Lu Yun were born here, which is regarded as an outstanding person, good mountains and good waters. If in a few years, at the moment when the glorious Ming Dynasty was about to die and went into decline, a father and son named Xia Yunyi and Xia Wanchun came out from here with their heads held high and offered their last blood to this ancient dynasty.

This mountain is really not high, it seems to be only about ten zhang high, and it can only be regarded as a small hill in the north. Liu Xu only took less than half an hour to climb to the top of the mountain, standing on the top of the mountain and looking at it from afar, the north and south peaks look at each other in the distance, the north side is low, the south side is high, the north peak is shaped like a bull's head, so it is called "Niutou Mountain", and although the mountain enters the cold winter, you can still see countless plants and trees, just a glance, there are several kinds of black pine, camphor and metasequoia, it can be seen that the species diversity of the southern environment is indeed very good.

Most of these pines and cypresses have large canopies, and these canopies have accumulated a lot of snow and ice, and the snow is so thick on the canopy that it creaks the wooden trunk, making people wonder if the tree will fall completely in the next moment. But these trees, like some people, no matter how much pressure and suffering they suffer, they will only allow their joints to make a sound due to the heavy pressure, but they will never be overwhelmed or crushed.

These trees, these people are the last backbone of this dynasty, the last warriors who can maintain the orthodoxy of Yan and Huang, as for those fruitful fruit trees, although they are carefully cared for by fruit farmers, and they can dedicate sweet fruits every harvest season, but they have no position, even if they change their masters and dynasties, they still continue to bear fruit, ignoring the fact that the world has changed its years and changed its name.

Are these people to meet today pines and cypresses, or are they fruits?

Liu Xu looked at the two eyes that had been frozen on the south peak, which was said to be the eyes of the lying cow, pondering and silent.

"Brother-in-law, the mountain wind is howling here, and it is cold and cold, so it is better to wear a fur coat, so as not to suffer the wind and cold!" It was a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old, he was of medium stature, with a round face, and his eyes were innocent and sincere, revealing the liveliness of a young man who had never been in the world, and it was evident that although his body had grown up, his mind was not yet mature, and he was still a child.

He is Chen Peier's younger brother Chen Xin, a "young talent" that Chen Peier swore in his letter, and it is also a symbol of the Songjiang Chen family's decision to fully cooperate with Liu Xu, and letting the eldest son of the family follow Liu Xu is the best proof.

He took a step ahead of Zhou Jun, ignoring the latter's somewhat annoyed eyes, took a fur fur from the servant's hand and presented it to Liu Xu. This thing is also called Dayu, it is best to make it from the mink or fox skin of Liaodong, light and warm, beautiful and generous, but at present, Liaodong is stealing for the construction of slaves, the trade route is interrupted, and occasionally there are furs smuggled out of Dongjiang Town, and the price is also high, and the cost performance is not high. This fur fur is made of the thin sheepskin of Ningxia Tan sheep, with a little fox skin made of lapels, the whole black and red, and with gold and silver threads finely outlined, which can best reflect the noble status of the owner.

But Chen Xin obviously didn't know how to serve people, handed things to the elders, he didn't bend his body slightly, handed it with both hands, but held the collar of the fur fur with one hand, and there was still a complacent look in his eyes, as if he felt that he had fulfilled his obligations, and his "brother-in-law" was also shouted loudly and loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not know about his intimate relationship with Liu Xu.

"Pampered young master!" Liu Xu sighed in his heart, praised Chen Xin a few words, reached out to take the fur fur, and draped it on his body. After that, he gave Zhou Jun a look, which meant that he should be calm and not be impatient, and not worry about this child who has not grown up.

Although Zhou Jun is only fourteen years old, he is more relieved than Chen Xin to come. It can be seen that "the children of the poor are in charge of the house early" is not unreasonable, they have not endured hardships, they have not suffered hardships, and their minds are maturing relatively slowly.

But even though Liu Xu didn't like this young man who had not been trained very much, Chen Xin also represented the sincerity and cooperation of the Chen family, so he had to let him follow him. According to his assumption, as long as Chen Xin can grow up well, don't have accidents, and give him some chores to do, it will be enough.

Obviously, Chen Xin doesn't feel that he is only worthy of doing some chores, in the eyes of young people of this age, there is nothing in the world that they can't do. It's not done right now, it's just because they didn't put their heart into it. For them, there are only two things in this world, one is what they have already done, and the other is what they have not done, and as for not being able to do it, it is simply not an option for them to consider. And Liu Xu in front of him, who was only twenty-two years old, was given the title of champion by the Son of Heaven, and he was the right attendant of the Yizhou Prefect and Military Department to know the development of Yizhou, which is simply the best example of this theory.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Xin looked at Liu Xu with reverence and said, "Brother-in-law, let's visit my uncle today, what do we want to say?" He didn't care that he was just a small foundation, but he opened his mouth to ask Liu Xu's plan, which is a little big or small.

Liu Xu frowned, a little displeased, and Wang Tao, who was good at observing words and feelings, seemed to see Liu Xu's mood, so he opened his mouth and said: "Brother Chen, Master's plan is a high-level secret, related to the national economy and people's livelihood, as the old saying goes, 'If the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if the minister is not secret, he will lose his body', it is better not to ask." ”

This young man has become quite radical after experiencing the tragedy of breaking his family, and sometimes he even seems a little bitter and ruthless, and it is already commendable that he can talk to Chen Xin calmly today.

But Chen Xin didn't seem to think that Wang Tao's attitude was so valuable, he rolled his eyes, and said in an arrogant tone: "You," he pointed to Wang Tao and Zhou Jun, "It's just a disciple, naturally you can't participate in big things, if there is anything, I won't let you know it afterwards!" And me! He pointed at himself, raised his voice again, and said word by word: "Liu Gong is my brother-in-law, I can naturally participate in anything!" (To be continued.) )
