Chapter 1046: Snowing
Chapter 1046 It's snowing
After having enough food, the people of Suzhou look forward to snow every day.
Er Ye Jiang, who also looks forward to snow, looks at the clouds in the sky and says "it's going to snow" several times every day. But it was not until the end of the twelfth year that the land of Suzhou, which had been thirsty for a year, finally ushered in the first snow.
When the howling cold wind mixed with dust and sporadic ice **** fell on everyone's faces, everyone couldn't believe it was really snowing. They all looked up and stared at the raised sleeves, looking for traces of ice and snow. When it was finally confirmed that there were small ice slags in the wind, the people were ecstatic.
Some knelt down and cried, some laughed and ran, and some hurriedly put out a container that could hold water at home to catch the snow. Some people felt that standing in the yard was not enough, and ran frantically to a high place to check if the surroundings were covered with snow, and Jiang Erye and Jiang Liubei were among them.
Jiang Erye climbed up the ridge along the ladder, stood up straight and looked around. After confirming that there were more and more ice slags, he shouted excitedly, "It's snowing, it's really snowing, and I said it must be snowing today!"
Standing in the yard, Jiang Liu stood beside his father, feeling the fierceness of the cold wind and the joy of rain after a long drought, and cheered, "It's snowing, it's snowing—"
The father and daughter were ecstatic, but the guards and servants were so frightened that their souls flew out, and they rushed forward to protect them.
On the tall pagoda in the distance, two people stood by the window, looking down at the city of Suzhou, which was ecstatic in the gust of wind. The eyes of the two of them naturally fell on the two people standing on the ridge, red and white, one big and one small.
Because these two are the most exaggerated, the color of the robes on their bodies is also the brightest. The bright red is the color of the official uniform of the fifth grade officials of the Great Thursday, and the snow white seems to be a fox fur.
Seeing the young man staring at the two people on the roof ridge in the distance, the middle-aged bearded man said, "That place is the back office of the Suzhou Yamen. The two people on the roof should be Jiang Feng and his daughter Jiang Liuniang."
Rumor has it that it is better to meet each other. From a distance, the two of them are extraordinary. The young man stared at the two figures, one red and one white, with calm and focused eyes. Seeing that he was interested, the middle-aged man whispered about the amazing-looking father and daughter from Kang An.
In the end, the middle-aged man pleaded in a low voice, "If this snow can relieve the drought in Suzhou, Jiang Feng will definitely not keep the villain. Please see the third prince for the sake of the villain being a cow and a horse for you all these years. , save the little guy and his family..."
The young man watched the guards climb up the roof and stood in place to protect the Jiang family and their daughter. One of the guards drew a bow and an arrow. The arrow pointed directly at him, and his brows were slightly wrinkled.
The middle-aged bearded man saw this, he was so frightened that he hid behind the wall, and said in a low voice, "Jiang Feng has many experts in his 1,500 guards, please move the third prince, and when they find you and the villain here, just trouble."
The young man stood still, but said indifferently, "If you want this king to send troops to rescue you, you have to see if you can't afford the price."
The middle-aged bearded man was excited, "Just say whatever the third prince wants."
"Old Lu, there are assassins?" Seeing Lu Dingyun posing to meet the enemy, Jiang Bao also drew his waist knife and searched around.
Holding a bow and arrow, Lu Dingyun locked his eyes on the young man who could only vaguely distinguish his figure, and said in a low voice, "On the pagoda in the east, someone has been staring at the second master and the sixth girl."
Stupa? Jiang Bao retracted the waist knife, and from the pagoda to here, hundreds of feet, not to mention hidden weapons, even the arrows with carved feathers could not shoot. However, the second master and the sixth girl standing on the roof are indeed too conspicuous. Jiang Bao stepped forward and persuaded, "Second master, the weather is cold and snowy, it is time for you and the sixth girl to go down."
After the madness, it was really cold here, Erye Jiang, whose official hat was blown away, grabbed the official sleeves that were swaying in the wind, grabbed the little girl, and walked down carefully.
After returning to the courtyard, Lu Dingyun ran to find Lu Zhifang, "General Lu, there are people on the Shuangyue Pagoda in the Wanfo Temple in the east of the city. This subordinate thinks that it is an unusual pilgrim, and I want to go and see it."
With the madness of the second master and the sixth girl, it is normal to be stared at. But Lu Dingyun is a sharpshooter who has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements in the army, and his intuition has always been sharp. Lu Zhifang nodded, "Bring thirty people over to have a look. If there is a situation, shoot the arrow immediately."
"Yes." Lu Dingyun immediately led people to Wanfo Temple.
Jiang Erye and Jiang Liu returned to the room, looking at each other's hair ruffled by the wind, with the same smiles.
Jiang Liu gloated and said, "It's a pity that my daughter is not good at drawing, otherwise I would definitely draw Dad's appearance and send it back to Kang An to show my grandmother."
Jiang Erye snorted, "You are only good at Danqing? Our father and daughter have four styles of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, so the father's Xiaozhuan can be used."
"Daddy is right, Daddy is amazing!" Jiang Liu grinned and smiled extremely cheerfully.
Jiang Erye stared at Jiang Liu's front teeth carefully, and then said with satisfaction, "When I first changed it, my father thought your two front teeth were too big, but it's not very obvious now."
The corners of Jiang Liu's mouth grinned even wider, "It will be just fine in a few years. It's snowing, so why don't we have to eat a pot to celebrate?"
In winter, it is the most suitable to eat hot pot. Jiang Erye nodded, "Eat rabbit meat pot tonight!"
The late snow lived up to expectations, and slowly dyed Suzhou city white, outlining the shape of the mountains outside Suzhou city, which is refreshing. When Lu Dingyun came back, he left a series of clear footprints on the ground, "My subordinates did not find anyone suspicious in the temple, but they encountered a dark whistle that we sent to stare at Zhong Dangtian."
Dark whistle? Lu Zhifang immediately felt that something was going on here, "Zhong Dangtian is still in the temple?"
Lu Dingyun shook his head, "The Whistle said that Zhong Dangtian just left in a carriage. As for who he met and what he did at the Wanfo Temple, the Whistle is still investigating."
"This matter must be reported to the second master, let's go." Lu Zhifang took Lu Dingyun to the main room and reported the matter of Zhong Dangtian, the prefect of Suzhou, going to Wanfo Temple.
Jiang Erye was not surprised at all, "He knows very well that after the famine is over, he will pluck his head and sacrifice to the sky, so he goes everywhere to ask for help. I want to see what kind of monsters, ghosts and snakes he can pull out. ."
The appeasement envoy Fu Kaiwen of Su Xuan Road and Zhong Dangtian, the prefect of Suzhou, should have been killed long ago. However, due to the disaster in Suzhou, manpower was urgently needed to relieve the disaster, Jiang Erye temporarily saved their lives and asked them to make up for their faults. But after more than half a year, these two people don't say credit, not even hard work.
"Over" can't be filled, so naturally, it has to be filled with life. If you don't kill them, you can't comfort the souls of Suzhou Mantian!
"Second Master, the person who can let Zhong Dangtian go to Wanfo Temple in person will definitely have a future." Lu Dingyun felt uneasy in his heart, "Maybe it was a secret envoy sent by the Khitan or the Turks, and his subordinates watched from a distance. I think that person is very powerful."
Very imposing? Jiang Erye raised his eyebrows and ordered, "Instruct the guards at the gate of the city to conduct a thorough investigation, and then send someone to keep an eye on Zhong Dangtian, and don't let anyone run away."
After they left, Jiang Liu speculated, "Zhong Dangtian has no rights and no one in his hands. If it is really the Khitan or the Turks who sent people to see him, it will be either gold, silver or military rations. Dad, you said that Zhong Dangtian will meet him. Don't you know the whereabouts of the remaining 500,000 stones?"
