005 The beginning of the snowstorm
The Lin family's convoy walked very slowly, and it was already midnight when they arrived at Xiaokangzhuang.
The servants on the well-off village were diligent and respectful, and did not neglect the sudden guests just because there was no master. When the Lin family arrived, the courtyard was full of lights. The charcoal fire had already risen, and the hot water was properly prepared. Not to mention the fine hot meals used by the masters, even the subordinates were given a big bowl of steaming rice balls for supper.
Of course, the Lin family would not fail to say that they had put down their generous rewards that night.
The servants were naturally happy, but they were not overly noisy because of joy, showing the decency and rules of Wuxing Houfu, and also making the Lin couple who were secretly observing nod secretly.
"It is said that Wuxing Houfu is strict in governing the family, but I didn't expect that even the servants of a small Zhuangzi would be so unusual." Lin Shiqing exclaimed.
"That's right, their family rules are one by one, and I heard that they evolved from military law." Through the thick curtains, after hearing the delicate voice of her little daughter, Mrs. Lin's anxious heart for many days was finally soothed. At this moment, she didn't feel tired at all, and with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she admired the dark night sky.
But the weather wasn't good.
"Look like this, there's going to be snow these days, right?" Mrs. Lin asked.
Lin Shiqing nodded: "I'm afraid it will come down at night." Otherwise, I wouldn't have come down here. After all, this is Wuxing Houfu......"
"I know." Mrs. Lin took over: "You want to say that Wuxing Houfu is the power of the gate." Wenchen has always been taboo to associate with military generals. How I don't know. ”
Mrs. Lin, who was in a relaxed mood, couldn't help but reveal a hint of her little daughter's coquettishness in her words when she was standing with her husband in such a dark night, which made Lin Shiqing's heart move and quietly held his wife's hand.
Mrs. Lin was stunned for a moment, and leaned closer to her husband.
The two of them stood like this for a long time, and suddenly a gust of wind blew up, blowing away the silent warmth. Mrs. Lin came back to her senses, continued the previous topic, and said, "Shiqing, although I know that there must be a day when you will worship the first product, but you are only the fourth product now." ”
A four-grade prefect is very important locally, but it is actually nothing among the dignitaries and nobles in the capital. Similarly, there is still some distance from the word "taboo", and Lin Shiqing is a little cautious.
But Lin Shiqing's caution is not unreasonable - Wuxing waited for the old marquis to join the army as a young man, fought horses for 50 years, and made great achievements, especially in the battle against Xirong 20 years ago, he brutally wounded and disabled the Xirong cavalry team that was originally stable and powerful, and had to bow to Daxian to negotiate peace! Since then, the old marquis of Wuxing Hou has been in the army, especially in the Northwest Army, and his prestige is unmatched!
And in addition to the old lady of Wuxing Houfu who was the lord of the Red Moon County back then, and then added the power of becoming the princess of the Red Moon, the old marquis of Wuxing Houfu will be the tiger son, except for the two sons and one grandson who died on the battlefield in the early years, the three sons who are now adults are already famous generals, not to mention, dozens of grandchildren do not say that they are all heroes, but none of them are not successful!
Wuxing waits for the Yang family, it is indeed amazing!
Such a gate valve, such a gate valve...... Lin Shiqing sighed lightly and said with a slight smile; "A child's body is the most important thing. The rest, let's talk about it. ”
While the two of them were talking, they heard the wind covering the snowflakes coming all over the sky, hitting the glass window with a muffled "poof" sound.
"yes, I can always find a way to do something else." Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Such a big snow! It seems that if you want to leave our mother and go back to Beijing first, it won't be possible! ”
"It's too late, it's too late." Lin Shiqing shook his wife's hand and led her to the bed: "Just go and see the hot spring ...... respected by Nanshan"
Nanshan is the number of the Song Order.
Outside the window, the blizzard tightened for a while, quickly muffling the whispers of the husband and wife, and they could no longer be heard.
The snowstorm fell all night.
The snow stopped on the second day, but it was still overcast. Looking at this sky, I am afraid that there will be heavy snow next.
Of course there was heavy snowfall. Lin Yijia heard his father talk about it and said silently in his heart.
In the winter of the twelfth year of Jinghe, there were three snowstorms in the capital and its surroundings! One after another, the snow was covered again and again, more than three feet deep! Subsequently, there was an extremely cold weather that had not been encountered in a hundred years for more than a month, and the road was forcibly blocked! The real ice and snow seal the door, it is difficult to move an inch!
What's even more terrifying is that this snowstorm and severe cold came so early!
It was only in mid-October that the early arrivals were still complaining about the autumn tigers yesterday, and the rich and noble families who arrived in the capital only organized one or two chrysanthemum banquets, and many families had not yet prepared food and clothing for the winter...... Arriving early turned the disaster that was originally only three points into 12 points!
It's so cold! Straight to the bone marrow! Freeze ice cubes inside and out!
“…… I want to go back to Beijing first. The date on this document has passed for a few days, and it is not good to delay it any longer. Besides, my six sons are fine now. ”
Father's words brought Lin Yijia back to his senses from memory.
She rolled her eyes, grabbed Lin Shiqing's arm, and said coquettishly: "No! I won't let you go first! Liu'er hasn't been clear yet, you said you want to take care of Liu'er! ”
Lin Shiqing couldn't help laughing.
"I'll just say, Liu'er will not follow!"
The effect of the medicine is very good, and Lin Yijia recovered quickly. By this time, the ulcers on her body were gone, and only some scabs had not yet fallen off. And the rest of the Lin family hadn't seen Lin Yijia for a long time, so they insisted on coming over to visit at this time.
At this time, Mrs. Lin sat a little far away from the bed by the door with Lin Yijia's eldest sister Lin Huijia, second sister Lin Minjia, and her nine-year-old brother Lin Jiakang. At this distance, Lin Yijia can be seen, and if you pay careful attention, you should not be infected.
Mrs. Lin smiled and was disgusted, Lin Huijia and Lin Minjia also echoed and joked, and Lin Jiakang said: "Sixth sister is really squeamish!" How old are you still coquettish with your daddy! But he was very envious in his heart-
When he was a child, the father figure who spoiled him and indulged him is not very true. beat him at the age of four, especially after he entered school at the age of six, his father treated him very strictly, and called him to the school from time to time to reprimand him. Only when he reads very well and writes in large characters is particularly progressive, can he get a few words of praise from his father with a smile, and occasionally his father will touch his head with satisfaction.
Of course, his mother was much gentle, but she refused to let him be coquettish in her arms like he had been when he was a child. Unless it's when he's sick.
But wait for the sixth sister...... The sixth sister can not only be coquettish with her mother, but also with her father! Look at her now, pulling her father's arm and shaking it, but her father is not angry at all! He couldn't help but blush when he saw it!
Lin Shiqing smiled and patted Lin Yijia's shoulder: "Look, your brother is laughing at you......"
Lin Yijia glared at her brother when she heard this, smiled and stuck out her tongue, sat up straight, and said coquettishly: "But Daddy, there was such a big snow in the sky the day before yesterday, I heard that it was a foot deep!" How can you go back? Besides, didn't you also say that there will be heavy snow next? From here back to Beijing, it usually takes seven or eight hours for a fast horse to work for nearly a day, but now I am afraid that I will not be able to walk for three days! ”
Lin Yijia's little face with a scab showed worry: "In case you are blocked on the road by heavy snow, you can't go back and forth...... Liu'er is not at ease! And if you are sick, Liu'er's body will not be able to serve you! And you go alone, we are not by your side, so what is it! Not! We are a family, but we have never been separated for a long time! ”
has a father and mother who dotes on her, two sisters who love her, and a younger brother who always can't get used to her being coquettish and is actually jealous...... Their family has always lived together!
In those ten years, after the eldest sister Lin Huijia got married, Lin Yijia often naively thought: Why does her daughter's family have to get married? If they don't get married, if the years stay in the boudoir forever, how beautiful it would be......
Now, she has got her wish!
Thinking of this, Lin Yijia couldn't help but tighten her father's arm even more, resting her head in the crook of her father's arm, revealing a silly smile.
