Chapter 41: Heavy snow closes the road
After walking for a few days, the white radish was finished, and Shen Ru sighed that it had only been a few days since he walked, why did it get colder and colder.
The gray sky is over, and the clouds are low and will be pressed down.
"On this day...... Is it going to snow? β
Shen Ru was a little worried and said, "It's snowing at this time, it's not normal!" β
"Are there fewer abnormal things?"
Shen Yan replied, "Calculate that along the way, drought, displaced people, earth dragons turned over, wind and sand walked stones, and visions were born, I'm afraid it is...... The court is unstable! β
As the former marquis, Shen Yan still noticed that something was wrong with the court.
It's been unstable!
Shen Ru thought in his heart, except for the truth or falsehood of the rebellion in King Jing's Mansion, this exile has implicated many court officials, and hundreds of officials have been purged!
"I have a hunch that when we get to the station, we may be detained for days, and it feels like snow is about to fall!"
Shen Ru muttered, "Hey, I always feel like something is going to happen." β
The dark and oppressive sky made Shen Ru feel a little irritable.
By the afternoon, the snow was really drifting, and it was getting heavier and heavier.
The official messenger can only drive people away, so that everyone can speed up, and they will inevitably rush to the post station before dark.
"It's so weird under this snow, and it's not snowing in previous years!"
When he arrived at the post station, Shen Rucai got off the carriage and heard the official messenger discussing.
"That's right, it's so big as soon as you come, in this situation, within half a night, the heavy snow is about to close the road, how to go down the road?"
"Have you heard, the emperor has killed some people again to sacrifice Tianwei."
"I also heard that the south is rising, I always think that our emperor, it will be easy to do in a few days, so you say we ......"
"You don't want to die, is that what you can say?"
The whispers of the officials reached Shen Ru's ears, making Shen Ru frown.
In the original book, there is no description of this period of exile, so she doesn't know what will happen.
The carriages were all in the backyard of the inn, and the exiles went to a special place of detention.
Shen Ru and his family were low-key, but they spent a night peacefully.
The next day, everyone was woken up by the noise.
It's white, and the snow is closing the road!
Chen Qingtong was discussing the resettlement of this large wave of criminals.
The road can't be walked, but this big ticket people, even if they have two steamed buns a day, can eat the post station poor!
"Lord Chen, I have more than a dozen stagecoaches in this station, and it costs money just to raise these horses. I can't control the food of this large wave of people. β
Yi Cheng said directly, "Moreover, shouldn't the food of this exile be distributed by the state government?" β
"The previous ones are all eaten, and the follow-up can't be followed, the heavy snow closes the road, and we can't go to the next city, and we don't know how many days we will have to stay here!"
Chen Qing was distressed, he didn't know that there was not so much food here.
"Lord Chen, there is really nothing we can do about this little station."
"This heavy snow has also cut off the grain and grass of the post station, if it is closed for ten days and half a month, my horses will ...... I'm going to run out of food! β
Chen Qing knew that what this Yicheng said was the truth, but he was distressed, there were many people who wanted to eat.
Exiles can't move around at will, but Shen Ru is excited!
She hadn't seen as much snow as she had ever seen!
"Dad, mother, you wait here first, I'll go out to see Fubo."
Shen Ru made an excuse, said a few words to the guard, and walked out smoothly.
Wow, this white expanse, how fun it would be to build a snowman in the snow and have a snowball fight with your younger siblings!
"This is ......"
Seeing Shen Ru in prison clothes, he walked out freely, and Yi Cheng was a little puzzled.
Chen Qingmm snorted, and then said: "The previous suppression of bandits, it was all this Shen girl who went deep into the hostility and wiped out the bandits. β
"Oh, the heroine of the middle school!"
Yicheng immediately understood that many of the people exiled this time were family members of important members of the imperial court, and it was indeed not generalized.
Cui Ti also walked out, and Yi Cheng's eyes lit up.
"This is ...... again"
"This Miss Cui came to take care of the exiles on her own initiative, well, she has money."
Shen Ru took the first step and said, "Lord Chen, this road can't be walked, let's stay at the post station for a few more days!" β
"What you said is light, delaying the journey, who can bear it!"
Chen Qing scolded, "These hundreds of exiles eat every day, and the post station can be satisfied. β
"How much do you need?"
Cui Ti spoke, she brought a lot of food, if she can help spend a few days this time, in the future, for the people of Jingwangfu, the officials can take more care of them.
"This girl looks good-hearted, and she thinks she is also very kind-hearted."
Yi Cheng immediately burst into laughter. "Miss Cui might as well go to the kitchen with Ben Yicheng to take a look, it's not that Ben Yicheng is crying poor, she really can't afford to feed so many exiles!"
Cui Ti nodded, followed by Yahuan, and walked away with Yicheng.
"Are you sure she'll make a move?"
Chen Qing looked at Shen Ru curiously, wasn't it Shen Ru who was the one who was wronged before?
Shen Ru smiled and said bluntly:
"Lord Chen, haven't you had enough wool from my family?"
"Miss Cui is kind-hearted, she can't see people hungry, she will think about it."
Cui Ti's mother was the daughter of a wealthy merchant, leaving her a lot of contacts, and she herself could do business, secretly monopolizing the rice and cloth merchants in the Qinling area; She didn't know what it was, the heroine described in the original book had endless wealth, but she only loved Pei Wenjing. It's all because of Pei Wenjing's life-saving grace when she was young, so that she will not marry Pei Wenjing in this life!
It's a pity that when Pei Wenjing was alive, she was her sister-in-law's fiancΓ©, so she could only do her filial piety for him after he died!
Chen Qing couldn't understand how these women were so strange.
Shen Ru's kung fu is a little unbelievable, not like a Houmen daughter.
And the Miss Cui family, it seems that her kindness is too much!
"Lord Chen, everyone can't leave anyway, let's let them out."
Shen Ru smiled and proposed, "Such a good northern scenery, you can't help but take a look!" β
Chen Qing glanced at Shen Ru and said bluntly: "Do you think everyone is recuperating like your family?" β
"On this snowy day, let them go for a walk, and they will have sores on their feet, believe it or not."
"Hehe, then let the people who come up with it come out for a walk, that Chase Shop, the taste is really not good."
Shen Ru said casually, "That's it, I'll call my father." β
Who says there's nothing in the snow, and if you don't go out for a walk, no one knows, does it?
Chen Qing looked at Shen Ru's comfortable appearance, and was sure that Shen Ru had someone behind him.
So now, one Shen Ru and one Cui Ti are the rich men on their way to exile.
Thinking that the purse in hand could be full again, Chen Qing nodded with satisfaction, appropriate indulgence is good for himself and other officials.
