Chapter 45: Enlarge the field and catch up
In the early morning, when everything was silent, a glimmer of light on the eastern horizon carefully soaked the light blue sky, wisps of cooking smoke drifted from the rooftops of the village, and the air was filled with a light veil of mist.
With the sound of "Oh, Oh, Oh~", Chu Xiumei opened her eyes and got up to cook.
The smoke curled up, and the smell of rice wafted in the air, and after a simple wash, Chu Xiumei wiped the water and entered the side room.
Chu Xiumei gently patted the three sisters and brothers, pulled their little ears, and called softly. "Get up, get up! Time to eat. The tone was full of love, and I wanted them to sleep a little longer, but I had to wake them up to eat.
"Wake up, we still have important things to do today. I can't snooze anymore, I'm about to get up and eat. ”
Ran Wenyue was the first to wake up, and he rubbed his eyes sleepily. "Mother."
"It's time to get dressed and get up for dinner." Chu Xiu didn't finish speaking, and continued to call the twins. "Bo'er, Xing'er, get up quickly, don't sleep anymore." After saying that, he patted their little butts.
Ran Wenbo and Ran Wenxing struggled on the bed, arching back and forth, and finally opened their eyes.
"Mother, why is it so early today?"
"Mother, have you eaten?"
"Hurry up and get dressed! After eating, we went to the market. Chu Xiumei smiled lovingly, took the clothes and put them on them.
One day to catch the market, the two children instantly refreshed.
While they were washing and eating, the village was already lively. It's time to zoom in again, and often the villagers are very active at this time.
Because the market is a big day for the residents of the village and the diplomatic market. The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, so the wood and game in the village, and more fur are a must in the nearby towns, and every household at this time is either driving ox carts, or carrying baskets with baskets, and walking in groups of three or five. What's more, when the sky is slightly bright, they start to set off with torches, hoping to get a good position and sell at a good price as soon as possible. Although the villagers live a poor life, it is also simple and happy!
When they went out, the Chu family had already driven out in an ox cart, and after picking up Chu Xiumei's mother and son, the entire two ox carts were almost full.
Chu Xiumei, the grandmother of the Chu family and several uncles of the Chu family talked in a whisper, and Chu Qing, the fourth uncle of the Chu family, and Chu Chao, the eldest uncle of the Chu family, sat in front of the ox cart.
Ran Wenyue looked at Chu Tian, Chu Yi and Chu Jun who were carrying the burden, and asked suspiciously: "Big cousin, second cousin, fourth cousin." Are you going back to school? ”
"Yes! We'll go back and give you publicity so that your stuff will sell better. Chu Jun looked at Ran Wenyue and said with frowns.
"That's a good feeling!" Ran Wenyue also smiled.
Ran Wenbo looked at Chu Tian and asked, "Big cousin, why didn't the fifth cousin, the seventh cousin, and the eighth cousin come!" I haven't seen them for the past few days, and I've missed them a little. ”
"They want to watch the house and work, and if everyone leaves, there will be no one to watch the house." Chu Tian explained with a smile.
"Oh."
A group of people chatted non-stop like this, and in the swaying of the ox cart, they finally arrived at Qingshan City, when the sky was already bright and the sun was hanging high.
A tea stall was set up at the gate of the city, and the tea stall was set up by an old couple, and the tea juice was real and the price was cheap. Those who have no children have been here for many years, so many people will drink a bowl here to quench their thirst.
There are a lot of people rushing to the market today, this queue to enter the city, there is still a long queue in front of them, Ran Wenyue looked at the sun, and then looked at the appearance of her twin brother pursed her lips, and pulled Chu Xiumei's sleeve. "Mother, it's such a big day, there are still so many people in line, it is estimated that it will take a while to reach us, let's have a bowl of tea here!"
Chu Xiumei glanced at the three sisters and brothers, then looked at the grandmother of the Chu family wiping the fine sweat on her forehead, looked at the old man selling tea and said, "Granny Xu, come to a few bowls of tea, just warm it." ”
"The guest officer is here, please take a seat." The enthusiastic old woman had already set the tea bowl, and the old man carried the teapot and quickly poured it full of tea.
While waiting, Ran Wenyue silently listened to where the people at the next table were chatting, they were all businessmen who traveled from south to north, and a lot of news was circulated from them.
"Hey, this time, the imperial court has made a lot of money, have you heard? I've heard that this time the king of Dingbei personally took 100,000 elite soldiers to conquer the people of Kongsang country, I think this time, I can solve the trouble of the border pass. "It was a merchant who was drinking tea.
A man dressed as a master said: "It's hard to say, the people of Kongsang are not fuel-efficient lamps, they are fine, as soon as the army of Longshu arrives, they will flee away, but as soon as your army leaves, they will plunder on the frontier again, hateful, this time maybe this is the trick again." ”
"That's right, I don't know how long this battle will last. I heard that when General Li led his troops to pursue before, he fell into the path of Kongsang Country and suffered heavy losses! ”
