Chapter 477: The First Snow of the Second Year of Wenchang
***
It was an eventful time in the DPRK, and Yang Yi couldn't be lazy anymore at this time, and even had to work overtime until the unitary hour every day, that is, around five o'clock in the afternoon, before he could get off work.\\
The ancients paid attention to the sunrise and the sun, and the officials had to go to the morning court before dawn, and the time to get off work was relatively early, and the normal time was to leave work at three to four o'clock in the afternoon.
So Yang Yi worked overtime for an hour or two.
The sky was gray and heavy, and when he got out of the right door, small snowflakes fell from the sky, Yang Yi gave a hot breath to his hand, hit the horse to the east, and then folded onto the royal street and went south, ready to pick up Han Bier and Qingye to go home together.
These two people are in charge of Ruoda's family business, and it is really hard, and it is good to go to pick up and drop them off once in a while, and it is good to warm their hearts.
There are six official offices on both sides of the thousand-step corridor of the royal street in front of the Xuande Gate of the Imperial Palace, and most of the officials are like Yang Yi, who have just come out of class.
The whole royal street is full of cars and horses, and the servants are hugging each other, and the traffic is very congested;
This is also the reason why Yang Yi has always disliked to go to court in a car, because there are often traffic jams, and it is much more convenient to ride a horse.
Tokyo's population has exceeded one million, and it has grown rapidly in recent years, but the area of Tokyo City is not very wide, with a circumference of no more than 40 miles, so the population density is very large, the streets are relatively narrow, and traffic jams are common.
Yang Yi was very much in favor of expanding the city of Tokyo, because as long as some walls were built and some streets and sewers were paved, the imperial court could sell land at a sky-high price.
If it works well. Not only did the imperial court not lose money, but it was also possible to make a profit from it, and many local governments in later generations didn't rely on land sales to support their finances?
But just think about it, the imperial court really doesn't have the energy to expand Tokyo now, and it has to wait until the end of the river control before this matter can be put on the agenda.
The traffic was too slow, so Yang Yi got down and held the reins. Passing through the willow shade tooth road next to it, when you go to the grain yard, you are even more supportive. Not to mention the car, even Yang Yi's horse is difficult to pass;
Today is the first day of the first month of October, and it happens to be the day to distribute winter clothes, brocade jackets, shoes and socks, ice charcoal and other items to hundreds of officials. The front of the grain yard was crowded with carts and horses who came to receive winter clothes;
The homes of high-ranking officials and dignitaries like Yang Yi were usually collected by the servants of the family, and some of the lower-level officials came in person.
It's snowing, everyone is more anxious, they all want to go back early, the more urgent it is, the more chaotic it is, the more chaotic it is, the more congested, the soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division temporarily made a cameo appearance as a traffic policeman, and they are braving the snow to try their best to direct the traffic.
Yang Yi could only wait, looking at the messy traffic situation in front of him. What did he suddenly realize?
Red light? Bullshit red light, isn't this out of power?
The traffic command station in the middle of the intersection, well, this one can be considered.
Also, it seems that something has been overlooked.
Yang Yi slapped his thigh. Isn't there a rule for pedestrians to keep to the right?
The current traffic rules in the Great Song Dynasty are that the cars and horses are in the middle, and the pedestrians are on both sides.
The question is......
The traffic is in the middle, not to mention that it is easy to crash, and it is certain that this rush will easily block the traffic.
There is also a clear boundary between cars and horses and pedestrians, and it is said that pedestrians walk on both sides. But in fact, even this is not explicitly stated, and it is common for pedestrians to walk in the middle of the road.
No, you have to get a traffic rule out tomorrow so that you don't get stuck in the snow again.
Finally rushed to Baicaotang, Han Bi'er saw that he braved the snow to pick him up and went home, and he didn't bring an umbrella, and his shoulders were moistened by the snow, and he was heartbroken and moved, and tears rolled in his eyes.
Ignoring Yang Yi's dissuasion, she instructed Aoba to go to the tailor shop next door to help him buy a robe to change into, and then she was tired of being in his arms for a long time without speaking.
"Bi'er, don't be like this, the master is just bored and walking around, passing by Baicaotang to pick you and Aoba by the way." Yang Yi patted her fragrant shoulder and coaxed softly.
Han Bi'er was tired and couldn't get up, and even directly grabbed his cold hand and put it in his arms to warm it, and replied with a squirming in his mouth: "Ye Mo said nonsense, this day's royal street is blocked like this, and the master will not come here if he wants to be distracted, even if it is really as the master said, just stop by to pick up the slave, the slave is also satisfied, the slave has been with the master for many years, and now he is old and decrepit, if he is in another family, I am afraid that he will be sent to do rough work, where will he come to pick up in the snow, and the slave does not know how many years of cultivation in his previous life, so that I have such a blessing in this life." ”
Han Bi'er is actually a few months older than Yang Yi, among all the women in Yang Yi, she is the oldest, she is already twenty-three years old, in the eyes of people in this era, she can indeed be regarded as old;
But when it comes to color, it is not declining at all, and a young woman in her early twenties, in Yang Yi's opinion, is the most flavorful time.
Although Han Bi'er's arms were very warm and beautiful, Yang Yi was afraid that her hands would be too cold and freeze her, so she still pulled her hands up and said, "Okay, Bi'er said that my flesh is numb, let's not talk about this, hurry up and clean up, let's go home." ”
"Well, wait a minute, the slave picks up some account books and takes them back to read, Aoba, hurry up."
When I went home, I didn't take the Royal Street, but went east from the second horizontal street of the Royal Street, crossed the Mingdian Fang, and then turned north to return to the Jingmingfang, so that the walk was much smoother.
The snow has a tendency to fall more and more, Yang Yi is in a much more relaxed mood, Yelu Yanxi wants to mobilize a large army to drive the expedition in person, it will take some time, this wind and snow weather will come in advance, once the north enters the cold winter, this big battle will not be able to be fought;
It's cold and snowy in the Northeast, it's hard to walk empty-handed, and it's a fart fight.
The Great Song Dynasty did not need to send troops in a hurry.
Thinking of this, Yang Yi was in a good mood, hugged Han Bier and Qingye left and right, and leaned under the car window to enjoy the snow, this snow came at a really good time!
When she got home, she was waiting in front of the door worriedly, she was wearing a narrow-sleeved robe, a small jacket, a pleated long skirt, and a hem embroidered with orchids, full of graceful luxury.
"Official, you finally came back, and the concubine sent someone to Xuande Gate to pick you up, but said that she didn't see you, official. But the concubine body is in a hurry. ”
"Today's husband didn't go to Xuande Gate, they naturally can't pick it up, it's just a little snow, it's not in the way, the lady doesn't have to worry too much." Seeing Thirteen Niang guarding in front of the door, Yang Yi felt quite warm in her heart, and stepped forward to help her gently brush away the few snowflakes that fell on Xiang's shoulders.
"It's good that the official is back. The concubine is also relieved. Thirteen Niang naturally took his hand and wanted to hold it in the palm of her hand to help him keep warm.
Yang Yi held her jade hand with her backhand, and said with a smile: "Actually, my husband's hand is very warm." You see. ”
Thirteen Niang glanced at him leisurely, but did not withdraw her hand, and let him hold it. Walk into the house with a smile on your face.
After the weeping flower door, there is a side corridor leading to the main hall of the second entrance, the small snow outside the corridor is sprinkled in the peaceful courtyard, the two pretty girls are stretching out their hands to play with the snowflakes on the side of the tall waterwheel, seeing Yang Yi and them enter the courtyard, they spit out their little tongues to each other, and hurriedly come to salute.
In the flower hall on the left, there was the sound of Qing Niang reciting poems and books, and when I went in, I saw Yang Rui with his hands behind his back. sat honestly in front of the small table and listened to Qing Niang's lecture on the Analects;
Compared with the boss in the palace, the spirituality of the two brothers is not much different, but Yang Rui is relatively quiet, at least he can sit quietly and listen to the lecture.
The little five of the Su family were bored, and they also sat on the Taishi chair and drank tea;
Mu Wanling embroidered flowers on the small sides. She is still accustomed to wearing a white dress, as bright as a fairy in the moon;
Yang Yi also likes her white outfit, Mu Wanling has a sweet appearance, a petite and delicate figure, and then wears a white dress, giving people a particularly pure feeling.
Qing Niang saw them come in. He stopped teaching and asked with a smile, "Brother Yang is back." ”
"Well, it's hard work."
Yang Rui ran over and hugged his calf and said happily, "Daddy, the child has started to learn the Analects today." ”
Yang Yi picked him up and asked with a smile, "Does Rui'er think Aunt taught her well?" ”
"Good!" Yang Rui replied crisply, turned his head and smiled at Qing Niang.
"That's good, Daddy came to test you today."
"Okay."
The little guy is not stage frightened, and he is full of confidence.
Yang Yi didn't ask him about the three-character scripture or anything, and said with a smile: "If you can think of it, Daddy has a prize, Rui'er listen, a farmer brought a puppy, a rabbit, and a green vegetable to cross the river, but there is only an old and small boat by the river, and you can only take one thing to cross the river at a time, but the farmer is not there, the rabbit will eat the greens, and the puppy will bully the rabbit, Rui'er thinks, how can I cross the river safely?" ”
The little guy began to hear that there was a prize for the correct answer, and he was quite happy, but after listening to the question, he scratched his head directly.
Thirteen Niang hugged her son over and said to Yang Yi: "Look at you, Rui'er is so old, how can he answer such a complicated question." ”
"Rui'er thinks about it herself, and then Daddy will tell you what to do." Yang Yi didn't expect his son to really be able to answer, but he just cultivated his habit of thinking about questions.
Yang Rui heard that it didn't matter if he couldn't answer, so he put his mind at ease and really thought about it seriously.
Yang Yi found his little doll, which contained a puppy and a rabbit, and then found a pen as a green vegetable, and placed a few books in the middle of the table as a river, and asked him to demonstrate it with real objects.
He took the greens first, and Yang Yi immediately reminded him that the dog would bully the little rabbit.
He took the dog first, and Yang Yi reminded him that the little rabbit should eat green vegetables.
The little guy finally knew that he would transport the rabbit to the other side of the river first, but it was difficult to turn back, and then he would bully the rabbit and transport the greens in the past, and he would be eaten by the rabbit in the past.
Not only was Yang Rui stumped at this moment, but even after the thirteen mothers came up to watch, they also made it difficult, and you and I discussed word by word, how to transport the three things safely across the river.
"Xiao Wu, don't pretend, you can think about it, if you can come up with it, probably Enke will be on the list this time."
"Enko wants to take this? Uncle, you have to make it clear. ”
"What is Chu? If you can't even think of this question, don't think I'll give you some pointers. ”
"Oh, uncle, don't, I just think, I just think."
As a result, in the hall, in addition to Yang Yi, Thirteen Niang, Han Bi'er, Qing Niang, Mu Wanling, plus Qingye, all began to look at the three things under Yang Rui's hand and think hard.
