Chapter 1035 Although plum blossoms are good, they are not as good as lotus dew
In the winter of the twentieth year of Hongxi, heavy snow fell in the sky, and it almost did not stop in December, with Henan as the center, from Liaodong in the east, to Shanxi in the west, and to the desert polar regions in the north, and the snow continued from Shandong to the south, affecting most of the south of the Yangtze River, and even Songjiang Mansion also fell blizzard for three days.
Relatively speaking, the area around Jinling is not greatly affected by the snow disaster, and the snowflakes fall every day, boundless. As soon as it cleared, everyone ran out with the guys to clear the snow from the house, and then overnight, the snow, which fell headlessly, was covered with a thick layer.
In the British Mansion on the side of the Forbidden City, the family members were bustling with joy while cleaning the roads, and with the blessing of the emperor, they persevered for a year, and the old lady's condition also improved, so the Xu family planned to have a good New Year.
Jieshoutang, Xiao Shi faced Xu Qinglian and Mu Ningxue. Xiao Yushi and others said: "As soon as Ye'er comes back, I will do a happy event for him, according to Xu Yan's example, worship heaven and earth in the newly repaired Fuchun Pavilion, Xiao Yezi will make him a partial daughter-in-law, I believe that the two sisters get along well." ”
Xiao Yushi asked: "Mrs. came up with an idea, should Ye'er and Xiao Yezi worship flowers and candles?" ”
"Then I'm going to worship." Xiao Shi smiled: "They are all children raised since childhood, they know the roots, and they also worship flowers and candles in Fuchun Pavilion, and we will all go to see the excitement then." By the way, hurry up and say hello to the Ye family's sister-in-law. ”
Not to mention the laughter and laughter in the house, Zhang Lianyi, who returned to Beijing, helped Xu Hao to take a walk in the garden and said: "When I came back, there was a strong wind and snow along the way, and the frost and wind still felt cold and biting, I thought that if this was in the north, how cold would it be?" ”
Xu Hao's right side was supported by Xiao Yezi, and he enjoyed the benefits of his father-in-law in advance, but unfortunately, whether it is ancient or modern, his father-in-law and daughter-in-law have to keep their distance, it is nothing more than raising them since childhood, and they are no different from their biological daughter before they get married.
The once petty and naughty ripples have grown up, and Xu Hao also has a sigh that my family has a girl who has just grown up. said: "You can never feel it without experiencing it yourself, in the south, when it is minus 10 degrees, it is already a kind of cold that makes people feel a catastrophe." But in the north, especially in Liaodong, minus 20 degrees, 30 degrees or even 40 degrees, how difficult is life? Therefore, I hope that all of you children can study well, not just read the Four Books and Five Classics, but work hard to specialize in science and invent all kinds of things that can make people's lives more convenient and better. ”
"Got it!" Ripple turned to Xiao Yezi and said, "That year, we were here to pick up the fragrant snow on the plum blossoms to cook tea, and it didn't take long." It's plum blossom time again. ”
Xiao Yezi said: "Although Mei Xue is good, it is not as good as Helu, I am really afraid of this cold." ”
Xu Hao said: "Today, I saw the officials reading what a day of heavy snow, the country is full of pink makeup, I really want to throw them to the north to see what mood they are still in to compose poems." ”
At the same time, Xu Ye, who was on a sea boat, was very depressed, because the Han king Zhu Gaoxu was under house arrest, and he was very worried about waiting for the crown prince to ascend the throne. Since then, he has quietly imprisoned Zhu Gaoxu for the rest of his life.
On one side of the sea ship is an even larger warship, which has returned from fighting the Japanese Kingdom, and there is Yang Shiqi's son Yang Ji on board, who has poisoned the people of the Japanese Kingdom for so many years. Loaded with gold and silver treasures, beautiful women return to Middle-earth.
The two are world friends, Yang Ji came to chat with Xu Ye, and Xu Ye, who was in a bad mood, proposed to go to the battleship for a walk, but Yang Ji was inconvenient to refuse. The two got on a clipper boat and rode bumpily through the wind and snow.
Approach the side of the boat and put down a net bag on it. Yang Ji leaned on the rope with his hand, and the whole person jumped up and hung up easily.
This is a big surprise to Xu Ye, thinking that Yang Ji is a famous playboy, the wine color and wealth are not pulled, it stands to reason that he has already been hollowed out, but he didn't expect that his skills are so vigorous now, and he also learned Yang Ji to jump up without thinking, who knew that he had no experience, and the strength was not used, and the boat was slippery, and he fell into the sea with a "poof".
Yang Ji hurriedly bent over to catch him, but he didn't catch him, and the soldiers on the boat hurriedly came to grab it, but it was cold, the clothes he was wearing were cystic, and the waves on the sea surface were undulating, and Xu Ye disappeared in an instant, and he couldn't even catch the corners of his clothes.
Everyone shouted together and hurriedly salvage, Yang Ji was so anxious that his feet jumped, sweating like rain in winter, and shouted: "Who can save Ye Gongzi, reward five thousand taels of silver!" ”
But the wind is cold and the water is urgent, where can I save people? Yang Ji looked at the endless snow waves, and was so anxious that he cried, and kept shouting: "Hurry up and catch people, hurry." ”
Everyone became more and more panicked, there was nowhere to exert their strength, up and down in a hurry, one by one the clippers were put down, and dozens of ships searched the sea.
Needless to say, Yang Ji and the others wanted to cry without tears, Xu Ye fell into the sea, and at that time he knew that he had no physical possibility, so he sank hard, his parents and relatives kept flashing in his mind, and he didn't struggle, he closed his eyes and nose, just waiting for Youyou to die.
Not far from here, the coastal area is full of fishermen, whose ancestors have relied on the sea for food for generations and also do some sea business. During the years when the sea was forbidden, there was a fisherman named Maha, who was a pirate who slipped through the net.
The sailor repeatedly swept the major islands to eliminate the Japanese bandits entrenched on the islands, and Mahachi was lucky to escape, because he had a family and other accomplices who lived far away, and in the middle of the night he took some gold, silver and jewelry, rowed a small boat, and the couple returned to the village to live in peace.
Fishing is just a name, every time Ma Ha likes to float alone on the sea, and he doesn't care about the nets, sitting on the boat and recalling the deeds of the year.
The woman who can mix in the pirates is naturally not an ordinary person, his wife Hou is very fierce, and she is more sharp than men in killing people back then, but she is a majestic second master, as long as Ma Ba is slightly less than she wants, she will be whipped immediately.
The Hou family is strict, Ma Ba doesn't dare to hide anything no matter what, he is afraid and loves his wife, the only fly in the ointment is that he has no children, probably because he has done too many bad things.
Today, I saw several huge ships from afar, Ma Ba turned the bow of the ship to avoid it, and grabbed the fishing net with his hand, but it felt very heavy and heavy, so he pulled it up hard.
Who knew that there was a dead man in the net, and Maba was not afraid, and at a glance, he knew that he had fallen into the water not long ago.
The retired Maba is now dedicated to goodness, and seeing that he is gorgeously dressed and not a child of a poor family, he hurriedly hugged him and hung him upside down on the boat, so that the stagnant water in his belly flowed out, and kept shaking, making trouble for about half an hour, and the water was almost gone. Qi and blood gradually flowed.
Ma Ba put the person on the boat horizontally, sniffed, slightly angry, and immediately overjoyed, knowing that this person was related to those ships, but first, he was afraid of dealing with officers and soldiers, and second, who knew what grievances this person was pushed into the sea for? It used to sail on the shore.
Xu Ye, who was in a daze, was lucky to be fished up, and he became even more confused after a while, and the person was also frozen, but he couldn't even open his eyes when he was thinking.
It feels like you're being carried around on your back. I don't know how long it took, but he barely opened his eyes with the help of the heat coming from his back. I saw that it was a wooded area, white, with a fence and a few thatched huts.
The person carrying himself on his back walked to the chai door and shouted, "Sister-in-law, open the door!" ”
Xu Ye knew that the sister-in-law should be the wife of the life-saving benefactor, because this is the coast, and many places still retain the customs of the Song and Yuan dynasties. Husbands like to call their wives sisters-in-law.
There was a woman inside who said yes and walked out, Xu Ye glanced at Daqi, the sister-in-law was about thirty years old. With a face of fat powder, he wore a delicately made Zou gauze bun on his head, a pair of shining gold earrings, and a mink coat. His hands were full of gold and silver rings.
Xu Ye secretly said that he was broken, he was probably saved by the gangsters, otherwise how could such a rich woman live in this thatched hut?
Suddenly, Xu Ye felt ridiculous. escaped from the Dragon Palace and entered the thief's den, it seems that Lord Yama must report it himself, don't say anything, wait for death.
Who knew that the woman glanced at him casually, walked over angrily, slapped Maha's face twice, and scolded: "You dead turtle bastard! I wasn't at home that day, you coaxed the children of the Lao Li family to come home, made a fuss about my bed, and asked the old lady to wash it for a few days, but it hasn't been cleaned yet! Where did you memorize the drama today? The old lady told you that you didn't force it in your life, and besides, if you want a child, you can't raise such a big son? Do I call him son or brother? You bastard is getting more and more troublesome and has no royal law, even I am not afraid! ”
As she spoke, the woman slapped two mouths again, beating Ma Ba's eyes so that Venus burst out, and hurriedly put Xu Ye on the ground, not daring to take him in.
Hou didn't care, grabbed Maba and entered the door, snap! He closed the door with his hand.
Xu Ye was dumbfounded, don't you be so cruel? Drag it in and get a hot knife! Dare to be reluctant to get your hands dirty, and you can't freeze me to death? The problem is that it's hard to take off this clothes if you're frozen.
Xu Ye cried and tried to shout: "Sister-in-law, you open the door, I have something to say." ”
Across the chai door, Hou scolded: "Don't be ashamed of the eight lambs! has hands and feet so big, what is not good to do to be a turtle son. That's it, you don't want to recognize the rich wronged boss as a godfather, what are you doing with this stinky king of my family? I'm really blind, I'm unlucky, hurry up and get out of the way for my mother! If you dare to do it again, be careful to cut your head with a knife, get out! ”
Hou scolded and grabbed Ma Ba into the house like a chicken, and soon heard the sound of a thorn stick beating his buttocks inside.
"Benefactor, you are so pitiful!"
Xu Ye realized that he had guessed wrong, smiled bitterly, and finally grabbed the door and climbed up, how could he dare to go in in the face of such a strong woman? It's not that I don't dare, but I really don't want my benefactor to be affected by myself anymore.
Standing alone in the snow, the cold wind was like a knife, cutting on his face and hands piece by piece, but his skin was already frozen and numb, and he didn't feel anything. The soaked clothes inside and out have formed a hard ice armor, and the whole body is painful, cold and itchy, unbearable.
If it goes on like this, it won't take long to die, Xu Ye didn't dare to stand, gritted his teeth and walked out step by step, the whole person moved, but he had strength, but Xu Ye knew that it would never last, if he fainted, he would never be able to open his eyes again.
The belief in survival, coupled with his young age, supported Xu Ye's efforts to move forward, and every step was like fighting against death.
Whenever he was dizzy and couldn't support it, the figures of his parents and relatives would always appear in front of him in turn, and the clearest thing was the ripples and small leaves of his thoughts.
The snowflakes fluttered, Xu Ye's eyes were suddenly no longer confused and desperate, and a smile appeared on his face, "Sweeping the snow and cooking tea, but although the plum blossoms are good, they are not as good as the lotus dew." (To be continued......)
