It's very cold this winter, and people don't want to go out when it's cold. Su Ren rarely goes to the academy. He spends the whole day either playing with a few children or hiding in his room reading. If nothing happens, ten and a half days will be enough.
It’s normal not to go out for a month.
I don’t know which snowfall this is, but it’s pretty heavy anyway. Six or seven snowmen have been piled in the yard. Su Jian and Princess Dangli each pulled Su Ren out of the study with one hand and planned to build a bigger one today.
snowman.
Su Hu and Luo Datou each took a wooden shovel and gathered the snow in the yard into a pile. Su Jian, Princess Dangli and Leng Mei worked hard to roll the snowball. Su Ren stood on the eaves with his hands behind his back.
He gave the command: "Over there, get the snow over there, and use it to find something to make the snowman's nose and eyes. By the way, bring your mother's scarf. The snowman also needs a scarf! Boy, get out of here.
It’s off, it needs to be rounder, it’s right, it’s like that!”
The first and fifth children were busy in the yard. Soon they heard Dong Qian's roar inside the house, followed by Princess Dangli's little figure running out, holding Dong Qian's most beautiful red headscarf in her hand.
Knowing that Dong Qian and Su Kang were unwilling to come out to enjoy the cold wind, when Li left the house he stopped running and happily waved the red scarf in his hand towards Su Ren.
Su Huier was already a toddler, babbling as she watched her brothers and sisters working in the yard. She only regretted that her legs and feet were not flexible and she could not escape from her mother's hands. Su Ren picked up Su Huier, pinched a handful of snow and placed it on Su Huier.
In their hands, the father and daughter immediately burst into laughter. During this period, this kind of situation happened frequently. No one sitting in the room felt strange. They just lay down at the window to take a look and then continued to do their work.
Already.
Twelve Niang smiled: "Why don't I feel something is right? Su Ren is not someone who stays at home all day long. Look, he hasn't even gone out of the door for the past half month."
Thirteenth Niang glanced at Leng Yue and Dong Qian, smiled slightly and said nothing.
Dong Qian sighed, hugged her son over and kissed him hard on the face: "Hey! If you want to leave, just leave. I have Kang'er now. Whether he leaves or not has nothing to do with me."
Leng Yue was stunned: "Brother is leaving? Where to go?"
"Who knows! Either the south or the north."
"To the north, after passing Chang'anke, we are almost to the Hetao. That's where the Huns were."
Thirteenth Niang said: "I think he just wants to go to the place where the Huns live. Haven't there been a few merchants from the north here in the past few days?"
Leng Yue's face was a little ugly, she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking. Twelve Niang patted Leng Yue on the back and smiled: "Do you want to follow?"
Leng Yue's face turned red and she lowered her head even lower. Dong Qian sighed: "It's not impossible. He has to have someone by his side to take care of him. It's just that where he goes, hey, forget it. If something goes wrong, he
If the horse gallops wildly, there will be an extra layer of concern for us."
Twelve Niang snorted coldly: "Who doesn't know that Mrs. Dong is very skilled in martial arts? If she goes there, she still doesn't know who is protecting whom!"
Thirteenth Niang glanced at Leng Yue: "Don't listen to Sister Twelve, a woman should stay at home to support her husband and raise her children. Hui'er and Kang'er are both still young. If you go to Hui'er, do you have to go too? If so.
If you want to follow, you can wait until the children are older in the future."
Women can see it, and so can others. Su Ren's abnormal behavior spreads in the courtyard like a virus, and Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang naturally understand it too. Dong Zhongshu will not ask Su Ren, and Wen Dang, as a teacher, has to do it for him.
Dong Zhongshu was concerned. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no classes today, Wen Dang did not go to the academy. Hearing the movement outside the door, he put down the books in his hands and left his room.
Since he became a doctor, the old man has become more energetic, and even found a few black hairs. Privately, a group of old men in the academy joked that the literary party was experiencing a dead tree blooming, which made everyone burst into laughter.
Seeing Wen Dang come out, Su Jian was the most excited. He immediately ran over to Wen Dang who called him grandfather a few times with a smile on his face. After finally getting rid of a group of children, Wen Dang glanced at Su Ren and said, "Do you really want to leave? Is Chen He being raped by Mrs.
Those who are often beheaded have nothing to do with you."
Su Ren shook his head: "Although he didn't kill him with his own hands, Chen He is still a student of the boy. If he hadn't planned to teach him a lesson, he wouldn't have ended up like this. When I saw Jian Hou in the future, I felt guilty."
"Hey!" Wen Dang sighed: "Who would have thought that a girl would be so decisive!"
"Speaking of which, I sympathize with that girl. This guy Chen He has harmed others and himself."
Wen Dang waved his hand: "Where are you going? Seeing as you have met several merchants from the north in the past few days, are you planning to go to the north? Is it Taiyuan or Yanmen? The imperial court sent Li Guang and Cheng Bushi to station in Yanmen.
Yanmen is safer."
Su Ren smiled and said, "Young man thinks so too."
Wen Dang also smiled: "What are your plans? With your nature, you will never just travel around. What are you going to do this time?"
"What does the teacher think the boy should do? The boy's principle is very simple, as long as it is beneficial to the big man."
Wen Dang nodded: "With your words, I feel relieved. As for what I'm doing, I can't tell you, so don't ask. Just be sure to pay attention to safety when you go there. The Xiongnu and I, the Han, are feuding, and there will eventually be a war.
Maybe you are the one who can turn this battle in my favor."
"Thank you for your love, teacher. I will definitely work hard."
After Wen Dang got his answer, he nodded and turned around to walk back. After taking just two steps, he turned around again and asked, "When will we set off?"
Su Ren quickly said: "It's not decided yet, I still have to prepare a few things."
Without saying anything else, Wen Dang left. Huo Jin came in from the door in two or two steps. He was covered in snowflakes and mud. It was obvious that he had walked a long way. He walked too fast and kicked Su Hu who had just rolled out.
The snowball was kicked to pieces. Su Hu burst into tears with a cry, but Hawking laughed loudly: "You cry over any trivial matter. You are the one who sheds tears the most among these boys. How can you go to the battlefield in the future?"
Su Ren glared at Hawking: "Don't mess with the children if you can. If you damage them, you'll have to pay for them!"
Su Jian and Luo Datou were comforting each other. The look in their eyes at Hawking could kill people. Hawking smiled and said, "Wait, I'll pay you after I finish talking, you crybaby!"
Holding Su Huier in one hand, he comforted Su Hu and waved to Huo Jin to go in. Knowing that Su Ren had something to talk about, the wet nurse on the side quickly took Su Huier over and gave kind words to the children.
Entering Su Ren's room, Huo Jin poured himself a glass of water, raised his neck and drank it all: "Brother, can you please don't let me go if this kind of thing happens in the future? Look at me, I'm covered in mud, Erya.
When you see it, you say something about me again.”
"Stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business!"
Hawking chuckled twice: "I found the person, but he won't come to Chang'an. He said he is waiting for you in Taiyuan. Also, brother, guess who else I met?"
"who?"
"Hahaha, you can't guess!" Huo Jin approached Su Ren and said, "I didn't expect that person named Ying to be there. As soon as I heard that you were going to Yanmen, I immediately followed you. I didn't agree!"
"You? I guess they didn't ask you!" Su Ren frowned: "Why is he here? Has the matter on the plateau been resolved?"
Hawking shook his head: "I don't know, but you have never seen Mr. Ying dressed up like that. He is all dressed in white clothes. In the winter, he is only wearing single clothes, with a leather jacket wrapped around his waist. You don't even know who he is at a glance.
No matter whether it was cold or hot, he had to be carried by four strong men wherever he went. He never walked a step, and he personally carried all the household items he had with him. Everything was in silver. You could tell at a glance that he had made a lot of money."
"Oh! It seems like this guy really succeeded!"
Hawking added: "Later I discovered that Mr. Love Winner is now some kind of saint. There were more than a hundred people who followed him down. They didn't even dare to joke or say a bad word. The looks in the eyes of those behind him were...
It can kill people." Huo Jin quickly took out a piece of silk from his arms and handed it to Su Ren: "Master Ying asked me to give this to you. He also said that he hopes to do business with the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce and trade with the Qiang people in the Qiang land.
,…”
Su Ren opened the silk silk and listened to Hawking's chatter while reading it. In the silk silk, Ying Guangji was very grateful to Su Ren for pointing out the clear path for him. Naturally, he also expressed his needs and treated himself as a friend. Su Ren looked at it.
He laughed. This Ying Guangji is also a person. When Su Ren asked him to go to the plateau, he just wanted that guy to play with those savages and slow down Wumuya. Both of them knew this purpose. When their interests overlap,
At that time, Ying Guangji actually let down his guard and took the initiative to show his kindness, which made Su Ren think highly of him.
"Master Ying didn't say how many people he would bring with us?"
Hawking shook his head: "I didn't say it, but the posture will definitely be different!"
Su Ren casually threw the silk into the brazier, and a puff of green smoke immediately came out. Huo Jin looked at the green smoke and said: "Brother, when are we going to set off? My father said that before I leave, I want Er Ya to get pregnant."
Pick up the child and leave in a hurry..."
"Then why don't you go back and work hard? Why are you talking here? The fourth brother is waiting to have his grandson. If you can't complete the task, you probably won't be able to go."
"Ah! That's not possible. You can't leave me behind under any circumstances!"
Su Ren kicked Hawking in the butt: "If you want to go, make a villain quickly!"
After driving Hawking out, Han Qing came again, and Liu Fu came with him. This time Liu Fu was very low-key, dressed in black, with a huge bamboo hat on his head. When he saw Su Ren, he quickly saluted. Su Ren
Ren looked up and down and motioned for Liu Fu to sit down. Han Qing got a glass of water for Liu Fu and sat quietly aside, looking at the piece of silk that had been burned to ashes in the stove.
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Liu Fudao said: "Your Majesty really doesn't want Mr. Su to leave. Although the Queen Mother did not say anything when she returned to the palace, there were still many criticisms against the academy among the emperor's relatives. Marquis Jian was even sicker. It is not clear whether he can survive this winter."
The situation in Chang'an must be not very good, so Your Majesty hopes that Mr. Su can stay for a while."
"I will wait until the end of the year before leaving. I hope that your majesty will be able to control Chang'an by then. Go back and tell your majesty that there are many things to do in Yanmen. I need your majesty to give me an imperial edict to avoid fighting with General Li and General Cheng.
conflict."
Liu Fu nodded quickly: "I will definitely bring you this. In addition, Your Majesty also wants to ask Mr. Su to take care of something." Liu Fu said this without confidence, and looked at Su Ren timidly, for fear that Su Ren would refuse.
.
Su Ren smiled: "Needless to say, I know what to do! You can go back and ask Your Majesty to start preparations now and start as soon as I arrive at Yanmen!" (To be continued)
