Chapter 166: Back to town
After noon, the wind and snow showed signs of completely becoming lighter, and as time went on, it took about an hour or so for the snow to really stop.
Last night, no matter how heavy the wind and snow were, there was a big day when it stopped, and the weather change was really annoying.
The group that stayed in the cave finally breathed a sigh of relief.
And how to settle this matter must be arranged as soon as possible.
"It's true that I'm not thoughtful, even if these people don't make that contradiction, it's not appropriate to rush a family into it."
After thinking about it, Zhixing also felt that it was not very appropriate.
Thinking about it at this time, I really can't think of any spare time in the two counties to accept this large number of people.
Seeing that the two adults were silent for a long time, and the homeless people probably knew what they were worried about, an old man looked at this private kiln and said tentatively: "My lord, it doesn't matter if we live here, we will live until the end of the year, and when the weather is clear, we will find another place to build a few thatched huts, so that it will not disturb the operation of this private kiln after the year, and there will be no more snow after the year." ”
The old man smiled happily: "We don't pick any place, just be able to shelter from the wind and rain." ”
The others also echoed it for a while, and they didn't want to cause any more trouble.
Qi You frowned slightly, according to the landlord's character, if he borrowed it, he would definitely agree, but this cave is really not a good place to live for a long time, it can shelter from the wind and rain, but it is only sheltered from the wind and rain. The room has not been circulated for a long time, the dust, charcoal and fire are mixed together, and it is a little unbearable to stay for more than an hour, if you live for a long time, it is difficult to ensure that there is nothing wrong with the body.
What's more, there are many children here, adults can bear it, but children can't survive at all.
……
By the afternoon the snow had completely stopped, and people in the town had spontaneously come out to clear the snow, and the snow was up to the ankles for a whole street.
"It's really going to be my life, when have we had such a heavy snow here, it has only been two days to accumulate this old high layer, if it doesn't stop, I'm afraid there will be a snow disaster!"
"Not really! Last year's drought has not eased, and if there is a snowstorm this year, this day will not be over! ”
Every household ran out to sweep the snow in front of the door, and they were glad to be swept and swept, but it was really a loss to stop!
But fortunately, it didn't take long for the news from the end of the town to arrive, saying that the houses of the homeless people on the outskirts of the town had collapsed, and the two adults went out early in the morning to check, and now they took refuge in the private kiln of the landlord.
It's not groundless, Dr. Fu Qing in the pharmacy is now warming a pot of wind and cold medicine at home, afraid that the medicine brought by a few officials will not be enough, and he is ready to wait for the snow to stop walking and be able to send it. And the porter of the landlord's house has a bigger mouth, and he is talking to the steward of the door, the old man of the family has done a great good deed, and he has passed his eyes in front of the new county order, and the steward of the door is very red, and is going to go back to report.
On the other side, a row of young people came out of the Guo family, the housekeeper took the lead, everyone held a shovel in their hands, and they did not stop after quickly sweeping the snow at the door of their own house, all the way from this house forward, sweeping a whole road, the porter and the steward were finished talking, and they saw the row of people of the Guo family sweeping over from the other end.
The people who live here are all big households, and there are many main merchants in other places, and there are often conversations between people, and the steward happened to have a few words with Steward Guo, and asked a question.
"Where are you going to sweep?"
Steward Guo said humbly: "My master ordered us to sweep to the outskirts of the town to pick up the two adults and the villagers. ”
There were also probes on both sides of the road, and they all listened to this sentence.
Immediately, he slipped back with a lively mind, and the steward looked stunned when he heard it, and then smiled diligently: "Hard work." ”
Turned his head and ran in quickly, and ran straight to the old man who was drinking tea in the main hall.
"Sir! The Guo family is sending people to clear the snow! Said to sweep to the outskirts of town to pick up two adults! ”
The grandfather was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand: "The Guo family and the Yue Niangzi family are about to form a family, so naturally they have to respond, what are you doing recklessly?" ”
The steward was so anxious: "Ouch, master, what are you talking about kissing at this time!" The Guo family went to clear the snow to respond, and the old landlord took out a private kiln for the villagers to take refuge, and the doctor Fu in the pharmacy was delivering medicine and decoction! People do great good! After today, who doesn't say a word about these good ones! Adults have it in mind! ”
The staff looked stunned: "That's naturally something to remember." ”
"Ouch, my lord, you haven't understood yet, isn't it possible that you went to Yue Niangzi's house to eat a few more snacks and the two adults remembered you! Who in our area doesn't stay in that shop every day! Don't show your face at this time, there are still a few good times! ”
"Besides, as soon as the two adults take office, they will open the official kiln, is the official kiln that ordinary adults can build! It must have come down from Kyoto with a decree! Our two counties are what they are thinking about, open a kiln today, build a bridge tomorrow, and the action in hand must be constant! Not long ago, we were still saying that once the official kiln was completed, the private kiln on the opposite side of the door must not live long, but now when the door comes out, how can the two adults not take it to heart in their eyes! Look, even if the official kiln is completed, the old landlord can also get benefits! ”
The staff held a teacup and hesitated: "...... How can there be so many things to do, and it's almost impossible to leave the official kiln. ”
"Master, look at the location of the official kiln! They are all located in a few poor townships, and then you look at how many stalls have been placed nearby because of the construction of official kilns, it is like a small market! Do a small business, set up a stall, where you can't make money, in the long run, can it still be a poor township! Don't you understand, the two adults have the intention of rectifying the two counties! Will there be less action to repair bridges and pave roads? ”
Only then did the staff react, and hurriedly put the teacup down: "Then what should we do?" ”
The steward immediately smiled and said: "The little one just thought about it, although the Guo family sent a lot of people, but it will take some time to sweep all the way to the outskirts of the town, so we might as well send some people to sweep together!" The Guo family is the future in-laws of adults, we can't compare, but with the back, we can get some eyes! It's important to let the two adults know that you have a good heart! ”
When the staff heard this, he laughed: "Cheng, just listen to you, hurry up and call people!" ”
The steward gathered his men in a hurry, and after a while he called a bunch of them, and after saying that he had all the tools he had gathered, the steward in front of him strode forward and opened the door.
When I opened the door, I saw that the doors in the left and right houses also opened suddenly.
The steward frowned, and looked tentatively to the side, only to see a group of men on the left and right appearing, all of them with shovels in their hands, running past him hurriedly.
He immediately stomped his foot, and someone thought of joining them! It's worth it!
"Hurry, hurry! Keep up! Follow to the back of the Guo family! ”
How could the people on the left and right not notice them, they all ran up at a glance, one team after another, and when they looked closely, almost all of them ran out of these houses.
The Guo family in front of him was struggling to sweep, and the housekeeper counted the time, and swept to the outskirts of the town for fear that it would be dark, but when he didn't pay attention, there were suddenly dozens of people around him, and they were all wielding shovels and sweeping hard.
He was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw several courteous faces.
Several housekeepers smiled and said, "Steward Guo, let's help and bring the villagers and the two adults early!" ”
After listening to Steward Guo's heart, he was happy, with the help of so many people, it would not take long to finish the sweep!
"Done! Then I'm sorry for you! ”
"Don't bother, don't bother!"
……
Dozens of people swept like this, and they swept a street in a daze, and the people who swept the snow at the door saw it, so they returned to the house after sweeping, and they came out to take a look after listening to the movement.
"It's strange, I haven't seen these landlords so kind in previous years."
"The one who started was the Guo family, the one who did the business in Kyoto with Yue Niangzi, and also married the new adult!"
"It's really kind, and these rich families know how to do some really good things for the town."
Although the discussion on both sides is quiet, it can more or less enter the ears of these people, but when they hear it, it is as if they didn't hear it, and they are all doing things wholeheartedly.
When the spring returned here and opened the door, I happened to see a wide road, someone from the Guo family had already come to report the news, she was also worried, thinking that it would be until the evening to sweep the snow away, but I didn't expect to follow this large team of people, this speed, about an hour to receive people.
She thought about it, boiled another pot of sugar water by herself, and made some snacks for preparation. Not only Qi You and Zhixing, but also those homeless people who have been trapped for a long time, only drank the sugar water she sent for a day and a night, and I am afraid that their stomachs will be empty at this time.
An hour later, dozens of people swept all the way to the outskirts of the town, and then followed the side road to the door of the private kiln.
Everyone was instructed by their own stewards, wiped their sweat, and waited with a smile on their faces.
After this year, Steward Guo has long admired Qi You's Zhixing in his heart, and now they are adults in their own county, and he can't wait to have the previous grievances. At this moment, he knocked on the door and shouted respectfully, "Are the two adults here?" My lord sent us to pick us up! ”
Qi You and Zhixing thought about the settlement of the villagers several times, and before they could come up with a charter, they heard the shouts of Steward Guo.
The official who was close to the door hurriedly opened the door, and when he opened it, he saw these dozens of respectful people and the refreshing road behind him.
"My lord! Come and see! The snow on the road is gone! ”
While talking, the two of them got up and walked to the door, except for a few familiar faces from Steward Guo and Guo Mansion, they didn't have much impression of anything else.
"My lord, we are from Liu Yuanwai's house!"
"We belong to the Li family!"
"We are ......"
The few stewards who took the lead in front hurriedly reported to their homes, and their faces were full of joy, and they couldn't wait for the two to remember them immediately!
Qi You and Zhixing are not the people who don't understand anything, seeing the looks of these people, they also know a little bit in their hearts, and they can't help but laugh, it is also a merit to be able to ask these rich people to do some good things to show their faces in front of them.
Steward Guo also informed Dr. Fu Qing of the two incidents of spontaneously warming the medicinal soup in the pharmacy and the fact that they swept all the way from the town to here.
Even if the road was opened, the two of them no longer delayed, this group of villagers froze for a day and midnight, although there were later ginger soup clothes to keep out the cold, but they were also afraid of mistakes, the people sent by Guo Fu and a group of officials were also frozen, fortunately, Dr. Fu Qing was so kind and benevolent, and the two immediately called the villagers behind to leave for the town together.
The snow was colder than the snow, and the woman holding the child in the back covered the child tightly and walked in front, followed by the rest of the villagers, the official and others protected both sides all the way, and a group of people who cleared the snow followed Qi You Zhixing, and the group finally walked back.
