Chapter 121: There are reasons for unlucky people

On November 7, the third year of Chongzhen, there was heavy snow in Guanzhong!

Overnight, the weather became extremely cold, and the cold wind curled up with white snow and blocked the road. Even the coldest jackdaw, who was the most cold-resistant, shrank in the bird's nest and dared not show up.

Qian Duoduo was wearing a green cotton robe and carrying a small bamboo basket, collecting the snow on the frozen chrysanthemum flowers.

"Qianduoduo, what are you doing when you sweep the snow on the flowers?"

Xiao Chu, who had become fat, exposed a round face from the window and asked in surprise.

Qian Duoduo replied with a smile: "The cold fragrance of chrysanthemums has soaked the white snow, and it is just stored to make tea."

"Huh? Is there any difference between the snow on the chrysanthemum and the snow-cooking tea on the ground?"

Qian Duoduo glanced through the window at Feng Ying who was writing attentively and said, "This is naturally different. Originally, the snow on the petals of plum blossoms is the best, but there are no plum blossoms here, so I had to use chrysanthemums to just put it in. It's better than nothing."

"Oh, Qian Duoduo, what are we eating today?"

Qian Duoduo approached the window, raised his hand and pinched Xiao Chu's fat face and said, "After eating so many days of meat, have you not eaten enough?"

Xiao Chu shook his head and said, "I won't be able to eat enough in my life."

Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Yes, last year, it was difficult for the family to eat a bite of white rice. Unexpectedly, after only a year, there was meat at home every meal."

Xiao Chu said regretfully: "Qianduoduo, when the snow melts, we will return to the stone pillar when the road is opened, and we will never be able to eat the meat you made."

Qian Duoduo pinched Xiao Chu's fat face again and said, "It's okay, when you leave, I'll fry some meatballs for you to eat on the road."

"Qianduoduo, you are so nice. I will never forget you in my life."

Qian Duoduo giggled, "I will remember you too."

After saying that, he carried the bamboo basket back to his room to tinker with her cold perfume.

Xiao Chu returned to Feng Ying in disappointment, looked at the salute he had already prepared, and sighed heavily.

Feng Ying looked up at the maid who was almost without human form and laughed: "Save more weight now, and you will lose weight after returning to the stone pillar."

"Miss, are you just watching me get fed by someone else?" Xiao Chu crawled into Feng Ying's arms and acted coquettishly.

Feng Ying hugged Xiao Chu and whispered: "You are a greedy person. You have followed me since I was a child but have never had a few good meals.

Now that I have the chance, letting you have a few delicious meals is a fulfilling your wish.

It’s nothing to gain weight. When you return to Shizhu, you will be urged by Mrs. Qin to practice martial arts. In a few days, you will lose weight.

Now, Yun Zhao owes us half arsenal, so we naturally have to get some benefits.

Before we get the right compensation, we must be considered as Yun Zhao's food and drink here.

Uncle Peng, Uncle Yaozi and the others are not easy to come forward, so we sisters can only deal with Yun Zhao. We are all children and will not break up no matter how much we make trouble.

Now, although we haven't got half of the arsenal, we have got a lot of new crop seeds.

I have asked Mr. Xu, these new crops are suitable for planting on mountainous lands such as Shizhu. Compared to weapons in the arsenal, I want everyone in my family to have a full stomach."

Xiao Chu lay in Feng Ying's arms, put his index finger in his mouth and said aggrievedly: "The food we planted was originally enough to eat..."

Feng Ying sighed and said, "The army needs food when it sets out, the army needs food when it is fought, and the army needs food when it is guarding the capital. Don't blame Mrs. Qin."

Xiao Chu nodded, looked at Feng Ying and said, "Are we really going to leave the stone pillar?"

Feng Ying nodded and said, "I'm leaving. Some people are already very dissatisfied with us. If we still want to continue living in the stone pillar, those boys who have grown up will go to the battlefield and work hard for Emperor Zhu Ming.

Before my mother died, she told me that we were not allowed to work for Emperor Zhu Ming, and that anyone who worked for Emperor Zhu Ming would not have a good ending.

I just want to take my brothers and sisters to farm well and live, but I didn’t want to work hard for anyone. This time I got a lot of money from Yun Zhao. We can build our own village in the mountains, and with these new grains, we can always survive."

"But, Shizhu's land belongs to the Ma family, and they refuse to give it to us."

"Then leave the stone pillar and let's live our own lives!"

As the two of them were talking, two Qingyi servants walked in with a brazier, put them in the room, checked the ventilation vents, and found no problems, they left Feng Ying's room.

"Like Uncle Peng, Yaozi and others, these people all came down from the battlefield. Miss, you see, they are all disabled."

As soon as the two Qingyi servants left, Xiao Chu quickly told the lady about her new discoveries.

"There are seventeen disabled servants like Yun's family."

"Miss, you found it?"

"I have discovered that these people came to Yun's family at the same time. Their disability has only been caused recently and they are not yet adapted to the disabled life.

According to Uncle Peng and his friends, one out of ten people who are seriously injured will survive after a big battle.

It seems that Yun's family fought a big battle this summer, with more than 200 casualties.

Judging from the current situation of Yun’s family, the Yun family won this battle, and the battle lost more than 200 people. Uncle Peng speculated that the Yun family had dispatched at least more than a thousand people.

Uncle Peng and Uncle Yaozi also said that the Yun family's strength has been achieved, and the reason why we treat us with courtesy is because of our relationship with everyone in the Qi family army.

Therefore, the matter in the arsenal cannot be mentioned anymore. If we do not offend Yun, asking for more benefits is what we can do."

"His family is so rich, well, there is a lot of food."

Feng Ying smiled and pushed Xiao Chu's heavy body away and said, "As long as we are willing to put in our efforts to farm, we will be so rich."

The charcoal fire in the brazier was burning, and the room soon became warm.

Xiao Chu looked at the charcoal fire and whispered: "Miss, is it good for us to eat roasted sweet potatoes? This morning, Qian Shaoshao and Yun Zhao were baking sweet potatoes in the study. I smelled the fragrance."

Feng Ying smiled and said, "Okay, we have nothing to do in heavy snow, so we just roast sweet potatoes. Remember to use the smallest ones, and we still need to use the big ones as seeds."

Hearing that there was something to eat, Xiao Chu happily ran out to get the sweet potatoes. Feng Ying's smile gradually faded away, and he muttered to himself as he looked at Yushan in the wind and snow, "I don't believe that there is no place for us in this world!"

Yun Zhao's study is as warm as spring, mainly because Yun Zhao likes to use land dragons, so he specially finds people to lay the ground dragons before winter comes.

It is very simple to lay the floor. Just dig the floor of the room, lay the flue with blue bricks, then cover the flue with three-piece soil, and finally lay the blue bricks and set up a stove outside the house. Just light the stove when winter comes and throw coal or firewood into it constantly, and the natural warmth in the house is like spring.

There are only three houses in Yun’s family that lay the earth dragon, which belong to Yun Niang, sisters and Yun Zhao.

Uncle Fu was beaten to death and refused to lay a ground dragon in the house. According to his simple and stubborn philosophy, doing so was a kind of usurpation.

Yun Zhao didn't care about these things, but Uncle Fu was stubborn, so this thing was gone in the house where people like Yun Meng lived.

"He Renlong was heavily blamed by Hong Chengchou for fifty boards, and was demoted from garrison to centurion.

In this letter, Hong Chengchou had a lot of resentment towards us and blamed me for not helping He Renlong, which led to him being roasted by Zhang Daoli and other civil servants."

Yun Zhaoyangyangyangyang said to the money for roasting sweet potatoes on the small stove.

Mr. Qian turned over the squeaky sweet potatoes that were roasted and said, "It's not our business, I think I shouldn't have any effect."

"I think so too. You can roast more sweet potatoes. Yunyang, Yunjuan, Yunshu, Yunfei, Yunshu and the others are all back. These sweet potatoes must not be enough."

Qian Shaoshao's ears moved and he smiled and said to Yun Zhao: "It's already here."

Before he finished speaking, Yun Zhao heard a burst of rapid horse hooves outside the yard. Soon, Yun Yang's loud and loud voice appeared outside the yard.

"Yuan San, hurry up and pull my horse to the horse shed, add more good materials, don't forget to put on the horse clothes, just now, sweating all over, don't get frozen."

Yun Zhao moved his body to the corner of the bed. He knew that his brothers had all their virtues. As long as they came, they would definitely squeeze into the bed.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and the cold wind gushed in from outside the door with snowflakes. Yun Yang, wearing a sheepskin coat, took off his fur coat as soon as he entered the door, hugged Qian Shaoshao under his ribs, and intimately put it away, then threw it away, saying to Yun Zhao who was sitting on the bed: "How about we go and do a big deal?"

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Why have you forgotten the rules of stealing rain but not snow?"

Yun Yang laughed and said, "If I don't use the skills of family traditions for a long time, I'm worried that I will forget them."

Qian Shaoshou, didn’t you follow Xiao Zhao to Xi’an Mansion six days ago? Can that Mingyue Tower be robbed again?"
