Jiang Xinyan looked at this scene and felt very happy. This was the place chosen by the couple. The vast white snow was dotted with patches of green, and there was really a hint of fireworks.
It is no longer a cold and lifeless barren land. If the original people here saw this scene, would they regret their original escape?
Chu Lixuan expected that Cheng Xianhou and the others would come to his door, but he did not expect that they would come so soon.
Cheng Xianhou was supporting his grandfather Cheng Taifu, as well as the former Song Dynasty general Song Jungang. One was the former prince's accompanying student Yang Wanlin. Song Jungang was supported by his grandson Song Daida.
In fact, Song Jungang was still very healthy and did not need support, but Song Daida shamelessly wanted to follow him. He really wanted to meet the Marquis of Zhennan.
When Chu Lixuan and Jiang Xinyan heard that they were visiting, they called Zhao Yu to greet them. Their hands were full of mud from growing vegetables, so they went back to wash their hands and tidy up before going to see the guests.
Jiang Xinyan admired her very much. Two old men who were nearly seventy years old must have some ability to survive in this cold and barren land and live such a long life.
Zhao Yu led five people into the large yurt where they usually ate, which was complete with tables, chairs and benches.
There are also two pots of white charcoal that are burning red. It is very warm when you enter the simple dining room. It is much more comfortable than their cold cave!
Cheng Xianhou was a man in his twenties who was recognized by all the prisoners in his group as a talented man in both literature, Taoism and military strategy.
When he walked into the dining room, he felt ashamed of himself. He was also a refugee, but he arrived during the famine. Don't live this little life too comfortably!
On the way, they saw children smiling so happily, without any trace of sadness of being exiled. The adults waved their hoes vigorously, and the smiles on their faces could not be covered.
Cheng Xianhou recalled twelve years ago, when he had just met Grandpa Song's family and the prisoners. They were all crying and howling, and they were in such a miserable state that they had no trace of humanity.
Although Cheng Xianhou was born in the northern cold land, his life as a child was much better than that of ordinary people.
Because at that time, Grandpa Song took care of them, and Uncle Yang and Uncle Wang took care of them. Now it seems that compared with the huge dining room of Zhennan Hou, it is still not good enough.
Cheng Xianhou looked at the five of them now. Their clothes were sloppy and they were all wrapped up like rice dumplings, but they still felt a little cold.
Look at the two people sitting opposite him. It is said that they are about the same age as him, a little over twenty years old. They are so elegant and elegant.
Besides, this large round house is made of a lot of wood. In this bitter cold place, the most indispensable thing is wood, but it is a pity that they did not think of it.
The roof is made of many wooden beams and covered with animal skins. The snow can slide off automatically and will not stay on the roof and crush the house.
It's not like they can't hunt wild beast skins, and because they have to exchange meat for food all year round, there are still many wild beasts to hunt, but it's a pity that they didn't expect it!
The tables and chairs in the dining room are all made of wood, which is strong and beautiful. They still didn't expect it!
People use a few rotten iron pots to burn black charcoal. There is no smoke and the children will not be smoked.
The fire dung was made from wood, so they had no shortage of it, but it was a pity that they only knew how to keep burning open fires. Once the fire went out, they would feel cold, and if the firewood was not dry, they would burst into tears!
There is no harm without comparison. A comparison turns him, a capable person who claims to be a genius, into a scumbag in an instant!
The most incredible thing is that people dug up the snow to grow vegetables as soon as they came. When their spies came back and said, everyone laughed at Zhennan Marquis. Could he be a fool? Can vegetables be grown in the snow?
His grandfather scolded everyone severely, and everyone was dissatisfied. Cheng Xianhou also disagreed at the time. He had never seen someone digging snow to grow vegetables.
Although there were Chinese cabbage and radishes to eat in the previous winter here, they were planted in autumn and were ready to eat when it snowed.
However, they had just walked all the way, so what was that green thing? Those are precious vegetables!
In previous years, they used two pounds of meat to exchange for one pound of vegetables! They have never tried it before, and they still make fun of others because they don't know what they are capable of!
The Cheng family no longer had the support of the Song family, the Yang family, and the Sun family. As soon as the county boss suppressed their family, they became starved and emaciated, suffering unspeakably.
It was his grandfather and Grandpa Song who turned the tide and led them to hide in the snow mountains and live like savages.
What do you think about every day? What will you eat tomorrow? What I worry about every day is that there are no officers and soldiers who dare to chase the mountains and there are so many wild animals to find trouble for them.
What fun does their life have? I want to be full! What are your expectations for the future? Eat every meal!
What are their plans for life? Live!
Cheng Xianhou suppressed the vicissitudes of his eyes, "Excuse me, the Marquis of Zhennan, do you have time to come and see us?"
"Our master is a prisoner now. There is no Marquis of Zhennan here. Mr. Cheng must be the Marquis of Zhennan?" Zhao Yu said coolly. asked.
"No, my grandfather and Grandpa Song came here today mainly to visit your father." Cheng Xianhou said humbly and politely.
"Mr. Cheng and Mr. Song were both well-known figures in Dongchen back then. We, as a couple, were supposed to visit them. Unfortunately, you didn't seem to welcome us very much last time, so we didn't dare to disturb you."
Cheng Xianhou was greeted by a crisp and clear voice. The familiar voice was startling. He looked up and saw a tall man walking in, pulling a petite woman.
The woman was young, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with delicate features and bright eyes. Even though she had been in exile for several months, sleeping in the open air, she still had a unique beauty.
They are even better than the beauties in the capital in his grandfather's paintings. His grandfather's paintings are recognized as lifelike, lifelike, with divine strokes and masterful painting skills...
When Cheng Xianhou looked at Jiang Xinyan, Jiang Xinyan was also looking at the five people in the dining room. The two old men were said to be about the same age as the eldest princess's grandmother, less than seventy years old.
However, these two old men looked to be over a hundred years old, and the wrinkles on their faces were getting deeper and deeper, as if the vicissitudes of life were etched on their faces.
Sitting next to the brazier, one feels calm and calm, as if the mountain is collapsing in front of him but his appearance remains unchanged, and the elk is rising to the left but his eyes are not blinking.
The man sitting next to him was the man whose wife had a difficult delivery that day. Jiang Xinyan thought he was a middle-aged uncle at the time!
Later I found out that he was one year younger than Chu Lixuan! At this time, he was wearing thick animal skins, and his lips were dry and peeling due to the cold wind.
Those eyes were calm and calm, as deep as a dry well. The originally delicate facial features looked mean due to weight loss, like a blade polished by the years, and there was a silent air of depression.
