Chapter 306: Go
The cold wind is cold and the snow is flying. On both sides of the official road leading to Qingzhou, the farmland and the wilderness are snow-white. Such heavy snow, I'm afraid that not only "the wind returns to dance together, and the sky can bloom in an instant" is enough to describe the beauty of the snowy scenery.
Under such heavy snow, even if the official road is almost closed, and the New Year has just passed, the pedestrians and merchants on the official road should have disappeared long ago, but at this time, there is a convoy of dozens of people in the wind and snow.
Each carriage is horse-drawn by two horses. There are also more than a dozen family members with hardwood sticks around the carriage. All the carriages in the motorcade are covered with oilcloth. Looking at the rut is very deep, there are many people in the carriage.
These guards include the soldiers raised by the Zhou family who arrived here after receiving a letter from the owner, and some young and strong new men who bought them on the road. Anyway, the Zhou family gave up money, and now they no longer cover up their deeds. Naturally, they save the hardship of driving without saying a word and Duofu and others.
Although he didn't have to drive hard, he began to be idle and bored without saying a word. Every day, he pretended to be a tiger and broke out in a cold sweat every day in winter, but he didn't dare to say a word. However, they were wrapped in thick cotton-padded clothes and shoes, and they couldn't wait to cover their heads and feet together. They stopped riding horses and sat comfortably in the car. The Zhou family has a lot of money and cars, and even the car they and Duofu took is very comfortable. Unfortunately, this stupid boy Duofu doesn't know how to enjoy and how to lie down.
And let the silent and silent Duofu, he was shaking his legs and sitting next to the driver, talking to the driver without hurry.
The thick curtain on the right side of the carriage suddenly opened, revealing a beautiful and pleasing face: "How blessed, how far is it? How long will it take?"
This is naturally Xiaomei. She has asked as calmly as possible, but as Zhou Bo's personal loyal servant, Duofu has long been familiar with the first maid of this young grandmother, and she can clearly hear the eagerness of her tone.
"Sister Mei, don't worry, there are still more than 70 miles away from Qingzhou City. If it's not very far at ordinary times, but now the road is blocked by heavy snow... I'm afraid it's good to arrive the day after tomorrow." Duofu looked at the dark sky, and then looked at the white officials around.
Now there are many people in the car. Zhou Bo and Xue didn't like to be disturbed by others, so they sat in one by themselves. Although Xiaomei, Xiaoli and Xiaoxing saved the waiter, they also felt quite bored by for a long time. They had to open the curtains to look outside every once in a while.
"Oh." Xiaomei answered absent-mindedly, put down the curtain and stopped talking.
In the car in front, the curtain has not moved, but there is a low female voice in the car, and she also said gently, "It's almost here... Brother Cheng wants to gain a lot of weight... Thinking about it, he has long forgotten me... I..." The words are full of depression and timidity. It's not Xuejian, who can it be?
"Bight to talk about it again! Mother and son's nature, can it be said that they can be forgotten? If he really forgets, I will spank him for you!" Although Zhou Bo said so deliberately and lightly, his words were full of missing and melancholy.
Xue leaned lazily in Zhou Bo's arms, looked up and looked at the roof of the car that had been looking at N days. For a long time, she sighed gently, as if he was persuading Zhou Bo, or as if he was persuading himself: "Yes, he is my son. The son I gave birth to in ten years of pregnancy, and the son I worked hard to give birth to. How could he not Remember me? I don't know if he will be called now?"
"I'm sure I'll call you dad." Zhou Bo's voice was extremely low but extremely positive. In fact, he didn't know how early a child would call people. Anyway, his son must be more powerful than other people's children. "Naturally he can also call him mother, so you can rest assured." Zhou Bo said, let go of his hand holding Xue Jian and looked at Xue Jian's frown, but he couldn't make up any more words.
Xue looked at Zhou Bo in astonishment. Please, how old is your son? Is it still possible to read poems? Unbearably despised Zhou Bo, reluctantly smiled and squeezed out the voice from between his teeth: "Dalang, you are so powerful, your son must be a genius!" Can you say something constructive? If you want to go down like this, you might as well wash and go to bed.
Xue saw and said, tilting to the other side of the car, regardless of Zhou Bo, Gu Zi turned around and fell asleep.
"That's natural!" Zhou Bo half lay next to her, bent his fingers and patted her on the back, and then said, "You can take a break first. Sitting in the car is actually the most tiring. If you don't have a good rest and get tired again, won't you go back and give anger to Brother Cheng?"
Xue saw half open her mouth, turned around and stared at Zhou Bo, and said coldly, "I know, Master Zhou." I don't know if it's her own illusion. Since she gave birth to a child, her body has always been sick. Sure enough, if she gave birth to a child too early, will it hurt her body? After thinking like this, I still fell asleep.
In the front car, Xu Cong'an and Bai Yitian sat in the same car. Xu Cong'an looked blankly at the miscellaneous book that was not a medical book anyway, while Bai Yitian looked at the similar scenery in the distance and near from the crack of the curtain of the car, and looked at Xu Cong'an with a slightly excited face of the attendants around him. He put down his hand sullenly, leaned against the soft pillow, and looked at Xu Cong'an blankly but annoyedly.
"If I had known it was so boring, it would have been better to ride a horse. Although it's colder, it's better than suffocate." Bai Yitian covered his face with his hand and moaned in pain. Sure enough, he would always be the one with a miserable life. Usually, they are always silent and silent, and now I know how cute they are.
"Why don't I explore the way?" Bai Yitian put down his hand and suddenly his eyes glowed. Xu Cong'an raised his head lazily from the book and nodded with a smile: "Go quickly. It's all about you looking for the way."
Bai Yitian breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the curtain again, called the people outside, and asked them to quickly call the silent car from the back: "Let the two of them come here quickly. I'm going to explore the way in front."
The attendant was about to speak when there was a sound of horses' hoofs outside, but the person sent in front of him came back: "Mr. Bai, the snow in front is too heavy and the road is completely closed. I heard that it will take two days to clean it up." After saying that, the man took a breath with his hands, then saluted with his fists and rushed to the next car to report.
No matter how anxious you are, you can only find an inn to rest first. Zhou Bo's face was dark, and he gritted his teeth and asked Duofu and others to find the nearest inn first.
Xiaomei and several others also took the lead, burning the charcoal fire early, smoking incense, and frying medicine. This set of procedures is often done these days, so although the time is tight, it is still orderly.
After cleaning up, the sound of the convoy was also heard at the door. The hot dinner was just ready, and several little girl wrapped in thick clothes and rushed out to greet them.
arrived at the inn, and it had passed the end of the year. Xue saw that he was tired and sleepy, and yawned for days. Almost half-squinting, she ate a few mouthfuls of porridge with Zhou Bo's hand, barely washed it and got into the bed to sleep. Even if it was boiling outside, it could not disturb her to sleep.
The next morning, Xuejian got up early, and there was no Zhou Bo around him. He knew that he had the habit of getting up early, so he didn't care whether he went to do morning exercise or explore the way. He only asked Xiaomei to come in to clean up, and then asked, "Dalang didn't say when he would leave?"
"The young master said that he would arrive in a day or two, so it's not too late to let grandma rest and leave." Xiaomei said, and her men did not delay and quickly combed their hair. Now sitting in the car every day, there is no need to comb it very complicated, but just ask for simplicity and comfort. Xuejian looked up at herself in the mirror and nodded. It was still better to be refreshed. She called Xiaoli in and said, "Tell the young master to go, you'd better have some breakfast quickly and go early."
Xiao Li quickly brought in the food box, and then looked at Xuejian eating two steamed dumplings with tofu skin. She lifted them up and said to Xiaoli, "Okay, I'm full. Tell the young master to go and you can go on your way."
Because the sky has cleared up, it is the hottest time in the inn. People come and go. I heard that the road ahead has been opened, and the people who are in a hurry remember the early morning and go to the place they want to go.
Xiaomei frowned, looked at the food box, and her voice pulled the elder: "Young lady, you are... willing to let the young master punish the slaves and maidservants! Then again, the maidservants are not afraid of the young master's punishment. Who let the maidservant have no ability to let the young grandmother have enough to eat?
Xue Jian's head was big and motioned Xiaoli to bring the bowl of millet pumpkin porridge and drank half a bowl in one breath. Then he looked at Xiaomei and said with a smile, "Aunt Mei, this won't embarras you, will it?"
Xiaoli looked at Xuejian, blinked a few times, spit out her tongue, tilted her head and smiled, and said in a low voice, "Young grandma, these strange words of Xiaomei are all forced by you. We can all listen to this matter."
Xuejian raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiaoli with a trace of surprise. Then she bent her eyes and laughed. She took the handkerchief from Xiao Xing and wiped the corners of her mouth, and then praised: "There is progress! You little girl, now you are talking and doing things, and you are taking the route of evil slaves and bullying the Lord more and more!"
"Grandma! The slaves are all loyal. Are you sorry for your words?" Xiaomei looked at Xuejian with an distressed face, helped Xuejian get up, and then explained, "That's all. It's just the life of a slave to meet such a careless master."
Xue turned around and stared at Xiaomei, then turned to look at Xiaoli and Xiaoxing, who were holding back their smiles, and pointed to them one by one: "Okay! OK! OK! Have you become miserable? Is there any reason?"
Xiao Li nodded repeatedly and was rude. She came over and raised the curtain. She looked at Xue and said, "This God, it's all here with grandma."
"Are we still leaving today? Or just quarrel?"
