Chapter 187 Half a year

When the snowflakes floated outside the window, Zheng Qingluan suddenly realized that half a year had passed in a flash. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Emperor Tai'an's strong attack caused a bloody storm in the capital. Both the Guards and the Praetorian Guards were partially cleared to varying degrees. To say that it is a clean-up is in essence a political compromise. With the acquiescence of the two parties, Emperor Tai'an replaced some relatively important positions with his own people. However, he is also a cautious person who knows how to stop in moderation. If you don't clean up further, it's not good to push too hard and cause a rebound.

After half a year of turmoil, the situation has again reached a certain level of equilibrium. This is the result that Zheng Qingluan is happy to see. The Praetorian Guards and the Guards can be regarded as owing the Xiao family a favor. If it weren't for Zheng Qingluan's sharp action that day, then the result would have been an unexpected strangulation by the emperor. Although Zheng Qingluan is just for self-preservation, they can't help but accept this favor. Therefore, for the Xiao family, they are all respectful and far away, and no one will easily provoke. Those boys of the Boy Scouts, occasionally enter the capital to see the world for a long time, and no one will take the initiative to embarrass them, which can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.

Zheng Qingluan secretly thought that if the emperor didn't think about pulling the Xiao family into the water, she actually wouldn't mind turning a blind eye. Even if the emperor cleared both sides, the impact on the Xiao family would be very limited. In fact, she is very disgusted with this kind of dumping, and she only cares about fighting, and has the energy to do other things

In the past six months, no matter how turbulent it has been, Zheng Qingluan has been safe. Yanxia Mountain has become a paradise. Hide in a small building and become a unity, and manage his spring, summer, autumn and winter.

In order to avoid suspicion, Xiao Yunfeng has not returned to the capital for half a year. But there are letters exchanged every day.

This time, I didn't receive a letter for three days.

Zheng Qingluan has a spectrum in his heart, and it is estimated that Xiao Yunfeng should come back.

After reading the book for most of the day, I was really tired. Outside, the sky was gloomy and terrible, and snowflakes were fluttering. The wall of fire had been burned a long time ago, but it didn't feel cold. It's just that the terrible sound of the wind makes the hearts of those who listen to it hairy.

Xiushang was doing needlework on the side, and when he saw the master put down the book, he got up and poured hot tea and sent it over, "I used to think that the capital was cold, but after staying in the border city, I really don't feel it anymore." ”

"That can't be careless; Ruthless President, I like you," Zheng Qingluan said with a smile, "Tell Xiao Er and Xiao Wu, the food on the mountain is still according to the border city, don't wronged them." ”

"You just love to worry" Bai Yi came in from outside the house and rubbed his hands, "Steward Zhou has already ordered the beef and mutton, and it will be delivered on time every day, and it will be fresh" Steward Zhou is everyone's name for Zhou Hai, and he is now Zheng Qingluan's housekeeper alone.

Zheng Qingluan smiled, "That's good" Seeing Baiyi rubbing his hands coldly, he admonished, "Mr. Li should take care of it." ”

Mr. Li is the gentleman invited by the Zheng family for Xiaoba, and he has just been established. Born in poverty, because he came to the capital to participate in the Spring Festival at the beginning of the year, in order to make up for the situation, he sold all the fields and houses in his family. He lived in the guild hall with his wife and children. After Chun Yu fell off the list, he also returned to his hometown without entanglement, rented and lived in the Pillow Xia Temple, not far from Yanxia Mountain, and made a living by copying scriptures for the temple. Qian went to the temple to offer incense and met Mr. Li's wife, Yao. Yao's good vegetarian food is a maid in the kitchen of the temple, and he specializes in making vegetarian food for pilgrims who are incense. Be kind and responsible, and be able to bear hardships and stand hard work. When Qian saw it, he inevitably remembered the days when his family also lived by copying books. She has always wanted to be kind to others, and she has the idea of pulling a hand. Later, Zheng Laosan went to see Mr. Li, and saw that this person was upright, happy to be poor, and did not feel sorry for himself. There is no humility under the downfall. It's also a little more appreciative. invited people back and made a west seat for Hachi. Now he lives in the side courtyard of the Zheng family's outer courtyard.

"Okay," Bai Yi replied, "Old Futou has never gone wrong in these things. ”

Zheng Qingluan nodded, stood up and moved, "I thought I would go to see the shop in the past two days, but now I'm afraid I have to push it back." ”

Baiyi knew that the master was talking about the dowry prepared for the eldest lady, and she smiled, "The master is confused, why should you go in person." Anyway, the prices of these companies are about the same. As for the good or bad, let the eldest aunt take a look, isn't it. ”

This is really a fan of the authorities and asked Wang Xinghua to see it, which is naturally the most appropriate. Anyway, the price is not much different, and it won't make him careless, and he doesn't know whether to choose expensive or cheap, as long as he is optimistic about the location, size, orientation, etc. Besides, he deals with the three sects and nine streams in the capital all day long, and these market news are much better than her.

"Let's go to the main courtyard" Zheng Qingluan walked out, wanting to discuss with Zheng Laosan and the Qian family.

Xiushang hurriedly handed over the big wool cloak, Baiyi took it and draped it for Zheng Qingluan, and the master and servant walked out.

As soon as I entered the main courtyard, I heard the noise in the room. Zheng Qingluan's eyes lit up, "The eldest brother and the second brother are back"

Saburo Goro went to school in the country, but he didn't expect to come back today.

"I just entered the door and said that I would send someone to call you, but you came first," Qian's voice came from the house.

Zheng Qingluan entered the hall with a smile, and Baiyi went to the side room. When the masters of the Zheng family gather together, they don't like to let the people who serve them follow. She also went to the small side room specially used for them to rest.

Zheng Qingluan lifted the curtain, and the heat in the room was smoky.

"Why are you getting more and more squeamish," Zheng Qingju sat on the kang near the window of the hall. This kang is narrow and small, and it is used as a couch on weekdays. Now that it's winter, it's hot, and it's sitting on it. Hachi is now sitting on the kang and putting down the kang table to paint red.

Zheng Qingluan knew that Zheng Qingju was talking about her wearing a big wool cloak, and said with a smile, "I was stuffy in the house for a long time, and I heard that it was windy outside, so I took it out and wore it." ”

"That's how it should be," Qian said, when he came to untie her cloak, "the room is hot, and when she goes out suddenly, the cold wind stirs up, and she becomes ill." Your girls are all good, and they serve them carefully."

Zheng Qingluan nodded, and then asked San Lang Goro, "How cold it is today, why did you come back?"

Saburo was holding the soup bowl, and Gorou answered, "Today's school is on vacation, until the first month." Originally, I didn't plan to go back today, but when I looked at the sky, I was afraid of snow, and I was afraid that it would be even more difficult to walk on the road. I hurried back. You see, the snow is really falling. I don't think this snow is small. ”

"No," Saburo said happily, "although I ate some cold wind, I finally rushed back to reads; The exclusive favorite of the cold president. ”

"It's snowing, take a carriage and walk slowly, that is, ride a horse on this day, but it's not a crime" Zheng Laosan's eyes were soft, "Hurry up and drink the ginger soup while it's hot"

"Let the kitchen be prepared with hot water, and then go to the medicine hoe to get the medicine, bubble the medicine bath, and prevent it from happening. Zheng Qingluan said to the Qian family.

"I've already let people go" Qian responded to Zheng Qingluan's words, and then turned to San Lang Goro and said, "Don't run away, just go wash in my and your father's house." Some of the clothes that were changed were new. ”

The two nodded and went to wash.

Zheng Qingluan took off his boots and sat on the kang. Hachi turned his head and grimaced at her. Zheng Qingluan smiled, asked him to be more attentive, and asked Zheng Qingju again, "What are we going to eat at night?"

"Saburo Goro is back, let's eat the pot. Zheng Qingju put down the work in his hand, "It's hot and lively."

"It's rare that people can drink all the wine, take it out and taste it today" Zheng Qingluan's eyes lit up and he immediately proposed.

"Pull it down," Zheng Qingju said angrily, "Don't get drunk, there are two urns of grape juice, you can drink whatever you want." ”

Zheng Laosan looked at the children happily, and only felt that he had never been satisfied.

The soup stewed with fish head is milky and milky. Zheng Qingluan scooped a bowl and drank it first, only to feel that it was hot from the inside out. The thin, almost transparent slices of mutton, cooked in the tumbling soup, dipped in a bowl made of sesame sauce, are so fragrant that you can't swallow your tongue.

The home-brewed wine has a slight astringency, and it slides coolly into my throat, and I just feel comfortable all over.

"This is the life of a human being," San Lang sighed comfortably.

"But the food of Guozijian is not good" Qian was concerned about the lives of his two sons, and it was inevitable to ask.

Saburo Goro lives in a house in the capital at night, and someone serves him, so there is nothing wrong with breakfast and dinner. But lunch is rarely allowed in the country, so the Qian family has this question.

Gorou swallowed the meat in his mouth and complained, "The food is also divided into three, six, nine, etc., as long as you are willing to spend money, there will naturally be someone to make a small stove." However, we all eat at home in the morning and evening, and we can just eat something for lunch, but we can't get used to seeing some people act. ”

Academies across the country have places every year, and some outstanding students are recommended to study in Guozijian. Therefore, poor students account for a large proportion of Guozijian. Then there are some children who were born in the families of officials and dignitaries and received grace. Seriously, Saburo Goro falls into the latter category. But because of their own background, the two have always put themselves in the position of poor students. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and this is understandable. The composition of the students in Guozijian is complex, and it is naturally impossible for them to all be harmonious.

Zheng Qingluan smiled and didn't ask much. It's nothing more than the gap between the rich and the poor, and the estrangement caused by the gap in origin, Saburo Goro can't afford to eat a small stove, but he has to take a stand on the side of the poor family. It's inevitable to suffer a little. Besides, as a student, eating a big pot of rice for a few days is also a rare experience. She still remembers the cafeteria in college, including the insect-eyed green vegetable leaves produced in the cafeteria. The master explained without blushing or panting, "The leftovers of the worms are clean."

After eating, the family huddled on the kang and talked. Zheng Qingluan was pillowed on Qian's lap, lazily not wanting to move at all. There are yellow, orange and orange pears on the kang table, which are for relieving greasy. The wall of fire is burning, it is inevitable that it will be dry, and the pears are on fire to moisten the lungs, and it is just right to eat now. Zheng Qingju is peeling and slicing. Zheng Qingluan's stomach was swollen when he ate, and he was still greedy.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, "Master, eldest aunt, second aunt have arrived" This is the voice of the blessed land.

It's not surprising that the eldest aunt is here. The second aunt is here, and it's a big deal

Zheng Qingluan sat up and jumped off the kang.

Put on your shoes and run out, with only one sentence in mind.

Xiao Yunfeng is back
