The wind and snow were dark early, Cheng Mo came out of Weiyang Palace, he couldn't see his five fingers, and the wind flew all over the sky with snow, blowing so much that people's eyes couldn't open. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThere were no pedestrians on the road, only him and his guards slowing down and rushing home. The group hurried in the dark, and no one spoke, only the sound of the wind whirring in their ears.

Kuroko suddenly said, "Ah Lang, it seems that someone is calling for help." ”

On snowy nights, if someone sleeps on the streets, I'm afraid they will freeze to death. Cheng Mo stopped his horse and listened attentively. When the guards saw him reining in his horse, they also stopped, and the sound of the horse's stomping suddenly stopped.

In the wind, someone faintly cried out: "Help! Help me! ”

Cheng Mo said: "Go and see." ”

Kuroko was ordered to dismount, walked towards the place where the sound came from, stopped under the locust tree that had just passed, took out the fire fold from his bosom and lit it, blocked the wind and snow with his sleeve, and the fire breaker was blown out.

The flames jumped, and Cheng Mo and the others finally vaguely saw a black thing under the locust tree, which kept squirming. Kuroko got close and saw that it was a person, and it was this person who called for help. Without saying a word, he took the man's collar and left, came to the horse, and said, "Ah Lang, it's an old man." ”

"Take it home." Cheng Mo said, clamping his legs between the horse's belly and riding the horse.

Heizi agreed, put the old man on the horse, turned over on the horse, and caught up with Cheng Mo.

Huo Shuhan and Gu Pan'er had to report Cheng Mo back to the house, and hurriedly greeted them, Zhao Yufei also wanted to come out, Huo Shuhan didn't let him, and said: "The wind and snow are too big, you still wait in the house, let's come over with Wulang." ”

As soon as the door curtain was raised, the wind poured snow into the house, Zhao Yufei had a big belly, it was inconvenient to walk, and she was really a little stunned, listening to Huo Shuhan say this, she responded, and ordered Chun'er to pass the meal, and said: "Wulang came back, just eat a mouthful of hot soup to warm up your belly." ”

Cheng Mo walked to the moon gate between the front and back yards, and just happened to meet Huo Shuhan and Gu Pan'er, the maidservants were holding umbrellas, and the wind blew their cloaks, revealing their skirts inside, straight like Lingbo fairy.

"You're not in the house, how can you come out to blow the wind?" Cheng Mo said, holding the two of them in one hand, so that they could walk more steadily. The two took the umbrella in the handmaiden's hand and moved it to Cheng Mo's head to shelter him from the wind and rain.

Huo Shuhan said: "The wind and snow are too big, and if Gorou doesn't come back, I will send a carriage to pick it up." ”

"Ruixue is a good year, the first snow of the new year, the bigger the better." Cheng Mo said, and the two of them quickly returned to Zhao Yufei's yard, and as soon as they entered the door, they smelled the fragrance of the food, and said with a smile: "This is the meal?" I happened to be hungry. ”

Zhao Yufei greeted him with a big belly and shouted, "Wulang." Helped him take off his cloak and said with a smile: "Sit down and eat." ”

The family was eating a delicious meal, and Qingluo came in and said, "Ah Lang, Zheng Ba said that the old man who was saved on the road woke up and said that he was a craftsman, and asked Ah Lang if he could see him?" ”

Heizi's surname is Zheng, ranking eighth in the clan, and Qingluo and other maidservants with heads and faces call him Zheng Ba.

See you of course. Cheng Mo went over after eating.

The old man is actually not old, he is in his forties, less than fifty years old. He just fainted from freezing, covered with a hot quilt in a heated room, fed a bowl of hot ginger soup, and woke up. When Kuroko asks him where he came from, he claims to be named Ouyang Yu and is a craftsman.

If it was in the past, Heizi would definitely not take a craftsman to heart, but recently Cheng Mo sent people to look for craftsmen everywhere, no matter what kind of craftsman it is, as long as he can do exquisite manual work, he will be invited back with a high salary. So as soon as Kuroko heard that this man claimed to be a craftsman, talked to him, and learned that he could knead clay figures, he asked the little girl at the Moon Cave Gate to enter the house to report.

"The little old man thanked Lang Jun for saving his life." Ouyang Yu saw that Cheng Mo had an extraordinary bearing, and without waiting for Heizi to speak, he stood up from the chair and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Cheng Mo helped him up and said, "Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level live slaughter, and the old man doesn't have to be polite." ”

Ouyang Yu didn't get up, but knelt on the ground and said: "Little Lao'er is from Jiaozhou, he originally went to the capital to look for relatives, and the coils on his body were stolen two days ago, thinking that when he arrived in the capital, he could settle down if he found his relatives." Unexpectedly, it was not easy to find a relative's residence, but it was General Tie who guarded the door, and the relatives went out with their families. I wanted to go over today, but I encountered a heavy snowstorm, and if it wasn't for Lang Jun's rescue, I would have frozen to death on the side of the road. ”

By the afternoon, he already felt that his body was stiff, and if it weren't for the support of his will, he would have frozen to death long ago, how could he have a chance to be saved?

"Jiaozhou Ouyang Yu?" Cheng Mo couldn't imagine that there was such a famous figure in Jiaozhou, but he was a craftsman and a small person, and it was not surprising that he was not recorded in history.

Ouyang said: "Exactly." The clay figure pinched by the little old man is wonderful. Alas, I thought that the capital would be rich, and I could earn food with my little old man's skills, but I didn't expect that I almost froze to death. ”

He kept shaking his head as he spoke.

Since Cheng Mo decided to change the probation system and the conquest system to the imperial examination system, universal education was imminent, relying on the light of crossing, he decided to invent paper and movable type printing, so that books would no longer become a luxury, so that the children of poor families could easily afford books. In this way, there will be more people studying and more people participating in the imperial examination, and the imperial court will be able to select the best of the best and admit more high-quality talents.

He only knew the principles of paper and movable type printing, and if he really wanted to do it, he couldn't do it, so he had to look around for a craftsman with nimble hands and feet.

It seems that Ouyang Yu is very confident in his craft. Cheng Mo said: "My husband will rest for one night first, and we will talk about it in detail tomorrow." ”

Ouyang Yu was naturally full of thanks and agreed. Cheng Mo asked him to take him to live in the courtyard where the craftsman rested, and ordered three hot meals a day to entertain him.

After settling Ouyang Ming, Cheng Mo was just about to go back to the room, and the dog came to report to Luo Ming to ask to see him.

Luo Ming came over in the snow once in the afternoon, but Cheng Mo was not in the house, he left a clever little guy to wait outside the mansion gate, and told the little guy that if Cheng Mo returned to the house, he would go back immediately to report. No, get the news, come right away.

No matter how indifferent Cheng Mo was to him, for the sake of his unhindered wind and snow, he still decided to see him.

"I've seen the Captain." Luo Ming looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and was very surprised, how could someone look so handsome?

Cheng Mo was also looking at him, and said, "Luo Sanlang doesn't need to be polite, you came to me in the wind and snow, is there anything urgent?" ”

In such weather, shouldn't you be in the heated room, warm a pot of wine, and talk about love with your beloved woman, who knows her face? What do you want to do when you come here in the snow?

Luo Ming was afraid of the cold, and when he came by carriage, he didn't freeze, but he just entered the house and felt like a warm March, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he was not in the mood to say anything else now, so he got straight to the point: "I'm not afraid of Weiwei's jokes, I also have a small reputation in the capital, and I write well." As he spoke, he took the box handed by the little guy behind him, and said, "There are a few articles I wrote in it, please comment on it." ”
