Chapter Seventy-Three: Snow and Red Plums
It is said that the plum blossoms of the temple were planted hundreds of years ago in the early Ming Dynasty, and there are many of them twenty or thirty, and you can ask about the fragrance of the plum blossoms from a distance before you get close. Under the plum blossom forest, walking on the bluestone slab, two young people talked softly, for fear that the sound would make those plum blossoms as brilliant as snow curl back.
The two of them didn't walk fast, but the plum blossom forest was not big, and they slowly turned back and forth in a quarter of an hour, and then the two walked to a hexagonal pavilion in the plum blossom forest.
At this time, Xiaohe also walked in, still holding a small food box in her hand, not only her, but also two Chen Jingyun's guards behind her, carrying the food box in their hands.
After opening it, a pot of rice wine, a small charcoal stove, and even three dishes of side dishes were brought out. Chen Jingyun knew that when he came out of the Lin Mansion with Lin Yun, the people in the Lin Mansion did not prepare these things, but after a little thought, he knew that this should be Chen Cai's idea.
Sometimes, it is very important to have a subordinate like Chen Cai who knows how to do things. Chen Jingyun didn't know, in order to create a good dating scene for Chen Jingyun and Lin Yun, and what kind of romantic atmosphere the little lotus girl said, he Chen Cai spent a lot of thought, before Chen Jingyun came to the Silent Yin Temple, he had already sent someone to clean up the Silent Yin Temple, and then asked people to tidy up the original dilapidated backyard in the backyard, otherwise Chen Jingyun and Lin Yun couldn't tell if the path could make the gravel trip when they walked under the plum blossom forest just now. In the end, he hurriedly asked people to prepare a meal, and secretly observed, and as soon as he saw Chen Jingyun and Lin Yun sitting in the hexagonal pavilion, he immediately sent someone to send the meal rice wine.
Chen Cai doesn't understand what romance is, he was originally just a member of the Chen family, and later became Chen Jingyun's pro-soldier, and then to the captain of the pro-soldier team. But he felt that when he was listening to books in the restaurant before, the cheating date between Xiucai and Miss that Mr. Storyteller talked about was basically this model, so Chen Cai followed suit.
"If only there was moonlight at night, then I wouldn't have to perform a West Chamber!" Chen Cai thought so in his heart!
Chen Jingyun didn't know what Chen Cai was thinking, her attention would be on Lin Yun, the weather was very cold today, although both of them were thick, although Lin Yun was wearing a skirt, but also wore a thick gold-embroidered silk white fox cloak, and on his head was a Western-style wide-brimmed soft-capped gauze hat, even the skirt inside was slightly thicker, so although the cold was blowing, it was not so cold that he would stomp his feet.
The two pro-soldiers returned after sending the food box, Xiaohe didn't leave but stayed to pour wine and hot dishes, did this little girl still look at her own miss, and then snickered very unconscientiously.
Originally, Lin Yun was a little ashamed, but when she saw Xiaohe laughing at her, she laughed and scolded: "What are you laughing at, if you laugh again, you will tear your mouth apart!" ”
After saying that, he laughed too.
Chen Jingyun picked up a small wine glass and handed it to Lin Yun: "Drink something to warm up!" ”
Because this is rice wine, Lin Yun didn't avoid it, and took a sip of it, it was sweet, and then it was sweet in his heart. Xiaohe next to him saw that his young lady looked like a nymphomaniac, and remembered that the young lady had said that she would rather be a monk, and she wanted to laugh again, but Lin Yun's threat was still in her ears just now, and she didn't dare to continue laughing, which little face was forced to turn red.
drank a few glasses of rice wine, but the dishes didn't move much, it was not suitable to eat full of food at this time, they didn't eat, but the little lotus on the side was not polite, first took advantage of Lin Yun and Chen Jingyun's inattention to secretly take a piece of osmanthus cake with a pink jade finger, but she thought it was secret, but this place is so big, you can find it with a sweep of the corner of your eye, Lin Yun laughed and scolded again: Eat if you want, I didn't let you eat it together before!
Xiaohe has been with Lin Yun since she was a child, for Lin Yun, this little girl is like a little sister, no one in the Lin Mansion is willing to scold her, after a long time, she is naturally not afraid of Lin Yun, and now when she hears Miss's words, Xiaohe, who is less than fourteen years old, is not polite, showing two dimples and smiling, she eats by herself, thinking to herself: Miss and aunt talk, I eat pastries, just right!
Chen Jingyun and Lin Yun continued to talk, and they were all talking about trivial things in life, although the things they said were ordinary and ordinary, but the two of them had a very good chat, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.
Seeing that the weather was about to darken, and seeing that Lin Yun's little face was a little red from the cold, the pair of jade hands were also retracted into the sleeves, and he immediately got up: "Let's go, I'll send you back!" ”
"Ahh Lin Yun also stood up, leaning a little closer, Lin Yun felt that he could even hear his breathing: "Oh, go back!" ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two got up, the maid Xiaohe next to them shouted with joy: "It's snowing!" Miss, it's snowing! ”
Hearing this, Chen Jingyun looked out, and sure enough, there were tiny snowflakes floating in the sky! Lin Yun also turned his head to look over, and the surprise on his face immediately appeared on his face.
"I thought there wouldn't be snow in Fuzhou?" She has lived in Yanjing since she was a child, and when she arrived in Fuzhou in the south, she thought that she could not see snow in Fuzhou.
Chen Jingyun also felt a little surprised, this snow came too suddenly, he didn't think it was going to be cold to snow in the previous weather, but he didn't expect it to fall in the blink of an eye.
I am not used to the era of no weather forecast, Chen Jingyun is a little nostalgic for weather forecasts.
The snow is not big, but when the snowflakes and plum blossoms are mixed together, it is very pleasing to the eye, and the visual impact of the red and white colors is extremely shocking.
Although the scenery is very beautiful, Chen Jingyun knows that he can't stay for a long time, in case the snow increases, it will be difficult to walk on the road. With the reluctant Lin Yun out of the Silent Sound Temple, got into the prepared four-wheeled carriage, and then a group of people went back to the Lin Mansion, sure enough, the snow on the road was getting heavier and heavier, and when they arrived in front of the Lin Mansion, there was already an inch of snow on the ground.
Seeing that the snow did not stop, but was driven by the fact that it was getting bigger and bigger, Chen Jingyun was worried that there might be a snow disaster or something like that, so he no longer sat in the Lin Mansion for a while but directly took people back to the Governor's Mansion.
Early the next morning, when Chen Jingyun got up, the snow had stopped, so Chen Jingyun was a little glad that the snow was not too big this time, and people from all sides also came to report the situation in the morning. As for the beggars who froze to death, there were also poor people and the like, Chen Jingyun instructed that they should be properly dealt with and give some people in the city a temporary place to live, although this method is not realistic, but they must not be watched frozen to death!
However, at noon, Chen Jingyun received a telegram from Ma Cheng, the First Brigade, saying that Zhejiang had been experiencing heavy snow and the weather had plummeted, and that he was looking forward to urgently adjusting 5,000 pieces of winter clothing.
Looking at this telegram, Chen Jingyun's brows instantly furrowed, and at the same time, his face was gloomy and terrifying! Sure enough, after Chen Jingyun pondered for a while, he asked Chen Cai to ask Xia Xinggang from the logistics department to come to see him immediately!
Chen Jingyun's face was not good-looking, Chen Cai didn't dare to say anything, and immediately sent someone to call Xia Xinggang, and specially ordered that the matter was urgent, and Xia Xinggang must be asked to come immediately, otherwise, the governor would be very angry, and the consequences would be very serious.
Xia Xing was still having lunch with a few colleagues before he came, and the person who heard the herald said that Chen Jingyun was currently in a hurry to summon him, and he knocked on the side of the road and asked, but the herald didn't know what was going on, he only knew that the governor was very angry, and as for why he was angry, he didn't know.
After Xia Xing just came to the governor, he was in good spirits, and when he saw Chen Jingyun at the door, he said respectfully: "My subordinates have seen the governor!" ”
Chen Jingyun walked directly in front of him, and then handed him Ma Cheng's message: "What is your explanation for this?" ”
Xia Xinggang was not short-sighted, and the number of words in the message was not much, but he glanced at it and saw the content of the telegram clearly, and then immediately turned pale: "Dudu, this really doesn't matter to me......"
"You're the head of the logistics department, and it doesn't matter whose business you have. When the weather got cold last month, I had already urged you to rush to make winter clothes and distribute them to the troops, what did you say at the time, and how did you promise to do it until now! ”
"Governor, please allow me to explain!" Xia Xinggang looked at Chen Jingyun, who was already angry, and his back was already in a cold sweat, even though it was winter, his forehead was full of sweat.
Chen Jingyun didn't speak, he wasn't a person who killed indiscriminately, and he wouldn't even give Xia Xinggang a chance to explain, so he sat down and waited for Xia Xinggang to speak.
Seeing that Chen Jingyun had done it, Xia Xinggang hurriedly explained: "Since receiving the orders of the governor, he did not dare to relax for a moment, and immediately purchased a total of 20,000 pieces of winter clothes from several textile factories in Fuzhou City in order for the troops to survive the winter, and later purchased the second batch of 30,000 pieces. ”
Chen Jingyun said impatiently: "You said that you purchased it, but what about the military uniforms, are you piled up in the warehouse and refuse to send them down?" ”
Xia Xinggang hurriedly explained: "No, the first batch of purchased winter clothes has already been distributed, mainly distributed to the troops near Fuzhou, and the first brigade and the third brigade of Chaozhou and the garrison regiments in various places are expected to be in the second batch!" It's just that the second batch of goods went wrong, and when the supplier delivered the goods, we found that there were defective products, so they asked them to rework, but they said that the winter clothes were good, and they refused to rework, and this back and forth dragged down! ”
Hearing this, Chen Jingyun's anger was even greater, this is military procurement, not business, if the quality is not good, it will be returned directly, and no company in Fuzhou City dares to chirp crookedly, but he Xia Xinggang actually pulled and pulled with the contracting company to delay the time. immediately endured his anger at Xia Xinggang: "Which company is it, and no matter what method you use, raise enough winter clothes for me as soon as possible, and you won't have to wear clothes this winter if you don't have one!" ”
Xia Xinggang said: "Yes, if you place an urgent order to the textile factories in Fujian now, plus outsourcing, it is estimated that in four days, no, within three days, I will let all the soldiers in the army wear winter clothes within three days!" ”
"As for the businesses that are stalling for time!" Xia Xinggang didn't dare to speak when he said this, but looked at Chen Jingyun's face.
"What are you going to do, hurry up and say, if it's really a businessman, I'll just let him go to a military court!" This is no different from a direct shooting.
Xia Xinggang swallowed for a long time before taking a deep breath and said, "It's Fuding Textile Factory!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Chen Jingyun felt a little speechless, because this Fuding Textile Factory was his Chen family's industry!
