005 Snow Begins

The Lin family's motorcade moved very slowly, and it was already midnight when they arrived at Xiaokangzhuang.

The servants in Xiaokangzhuang are diligent and respectful, and they do not neglect the unexpected guests just because there is no master around. When the Lin family arrived, the courtyard was full of lights. The charcoal fire had already been lit, and hot water was ready.

That's right. Not to mention the fine hot meals used by the masters, even the servants were given a large bowl of steaming glutinous rice balls as a midnight snack.

Of course, the Lin family would not fail to express their gratitude and gave away the generous reward that night.

The servants and women were naturally happy, but they did not make too much noise due to joy, which showed the dignity and rules of the Wuxing Marquis, and also made the Lin couple who were observing secretly nod secretly.

"It is said that the Marquis of Wuxing is very strict in running his family. I didn't expect that even a servant of Xiaozhuangzi would be so extraordinary." Lin Shiqing praised.

"That's right, their family has a lot of rules. I heard they evolved from military law." After hearing her little daughter's soft voice through the thick curtain, Mrs. Lin was anxious for many days.

Her heart finally felt relieved. At this moment, she didn't feel tired at all, and she was admiring the dark night sky with a smile on her lips.

But the weather is actually not good.

"Looking at it like this, is there going to be snow in the next few days?" Mrs. Lin asked.

Lin Shiqing nodded: "I'm afraid it will come down at night. Otherwise, I won't come down here. After all, this is the Wuxing Marquis Mansion..."

"I know." Mrs. Lin took over the words: "You want to say that Wuxing Marquis is a powerful general. Civil servants have always been taboo about interacting with military generals. How come I didn't know."

Mrs. Lin, who felt relaxed, could not help but reveal a hint of the cuteness of a little daughter when she stood with her husband in such a dark night, which made Lin Shiqing feel moved and quietly held his wife's hand.

Mrs. Lin was startled and moved closer to her husband.

The two of them stood like this for a long time, when suddenly a gust of wind blew up, blowing away the silent warmth. Mrs. Lin came back to her senses and continued the previous topic, saying: "Shiqing, although I know that there must be someone who is your first-class official."

One day, but you are only in the fourth grade now."

A fourth-grade prefect is a big deal in the local area, but among the dignitaries in the capital, it is actually nothing. Similarly, there is still some distance between the word "taboo" and Lin Shiqing is a little cautious.

.

But Lin Shiqing's caution was not unreasonable - the Marquis of Wuxing joined the army as a young man and served in the army for fifty years. He made great achievements, especially in the battle against Xirong twenty years ago.

The Xirong cavalry team, which showed its overwhelming power, was wounded and disabled, and had to bow to Daxian to negotiate peace! From then on, the old Marquis of Wuxing in the army, especially in the northwest army, responded to every call and had no prestige.

People can reach it!

Not to mention the power of the old Marquis of Wuxing Marquis, who was the former Princess of Red Moon and was later conferred the title of Princess of Red Moon. The old Marquis of Wuxing Marquis is the general of the family, except for his two sons who died in the battlefield in his early years.

And a grandson. Not only are the three adult sons already famous generals, and the dozens of grandchildren are all outstanding, but none of them are incompetent!

The Yang family of Wuxing Hou is truly amazing!

Such a powerful general, such a powerful general... Lin Shiqing sighed softly, smiled slightly and said, "The child's body is the most important. Let's talk about the other things later."

While the two were talking, they heard a strong wind carrying snowflakes, hitting the glass window with a dull "puff" sound.

"Yes, we can always find a way to do other things." Mrs. Lin said with a smile: "Such heavy snow! It seems that you can't leave us mothers and go back to Beijing first!"

"It's too late." Lin Shiqing shook his wife's hand and led her to the bed: "Just in time to see the hot springs that Nanshan admires..."

Nanshan is the name of the Song Dynasty.

Outside the window, the blizzard was getting tighter and thicker, and soon the couple's whispers were muffled and could no longer be heard.

It snowed all night.

Although the snow stopped on the second day, the sky was still overcast. Looking at the sky, I was afraid there would be heavy snow next.

Of course there is heavy snow. Lin Yijia heard her father talking about it and said silently in her heart.

In the winter of Jinghe's twelfth year, there were three consecutive snowstorms in and around the capital! One after another, they were covered with a layer of snow that was more than three feet deep! Then, there was another extremely cold weather that had not been seen in a century and continued for a whole day.

For more than a month, the road was blocked forcibly! The ice and snow really sealed the door, making it difficult to move even an inch!

What’s even more frightening is that this snowstorm and severe cold came so early!

It's only mid-October, and people who have arrived early seem to have been complaining about the power of autumn tigers yesterday. The wealthy families who arrived early in the capital have only organized one or two chrysanthemum banquets, and many people who arrived early have not yet prepared food, clothing, and fuel for the winter... The early arrival will soon

What was originally only a three-point disaster suddenly turned into a twelve-point disaster!

It's so cold! It goes deep into your bones! It freezes you into ice cubes from the inside out!

"...I want to go back to Beijing first. The date on this official document has already passed a few days, so I can't delay it any longer. Besides, my sixth son is fine now."

His father's words brought Lin Yijia out of her memory.

She rolled her eyes, took Lin Shiqing's arm, and said coquettishly: "No! I don't allow you to leave first! Liu'er hasn't figured it out yet. You said you would take care of Liu'er!"

Lin Shiqing couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm telling you, Liu'er will definitely not obey you!"

The medicine was very effective, and Lin Yijia recovered quickly. At this time, the ulcers on her body were gone, leaving only some scabs that had not fallen off. The rest of the Lin family had not seen Lin Yijia for a long time, and now they came to visit.

At this time, Mrs. Lin, together with Lin Yijia's eldest sister Lin Huijia, second sister Lin Minjia, and nine-year-old brother Lin Jiakang, were sitting a little away from the bed and near the door. From this distance, Lin Yijia could be seen, and if you paid careful attention, you could see her.

It should not be infected.

Mrs. Lin scolded with a smile, Lin Huijia and Lin Minjia also joined in and joked, while Lin Jiakang said: "Sixth sister is so squeamish! She is so old and still acts like a spoiled child with her father!" But he was very envious in his heart——

He can no longer remember clearly the image of his father who doted on him and indulged him when he was young. He was educated at the age of four, especially after he entered school at the age of six. His father was very strict with him, calling him to take exams from time to time.

The school scolded him. Only when he read particularly well and made great progress in writing large characters, he would receive a few compliments from his father with a smile. Occasionally, his father would pat his head happily.

Of course his mother is much gentler, but she is also unwilling to allow him to act coquettishly in her arms like she did when he was a child, except when he is sick.

But when it comes to Sixth Sister... Sixth Sister can not only act coquettishly with her mother, but also with her father! Look at her now, holding her father's arm and shaking her, but his father is not angry at all! He can't help but be jealous!

Lin Shiqing smiled and patted Lin Yijia's shoulder: "Look, your brother is laughing at you..."

Hearing this, Lin Yijia glared at her brother, then smiled and stuck out her tongue, sat up straight, and said delicately: "But daddy, there was such a heavy snowfall the day before yesterday. I heard it was as deep as a foot! Can you?

How to go back! Besides, didn't you tell me that there will be heavy snow next? It usually takes seven or eight hours and nearly a day to go back to Beijing by horseback, but now I'm afraid it may even take three days.

We can get there!”

Lin Yijia's scabby little face showed concern: "What if you are stuck on the road due to heavy snow and have no choice but to do something... Liu'er doesn't worry! And if you get sick, Liu'er's body can't help you."

Wait! And if you go alone and we are not with you, how can it be possible! No! Our family has never been separated for a long time!"

She has a father and mother who dote on her, two sisters who love and protect her, and a younger brother who always dislikes her acting coquettishly but is actually jealous... Their family has always lived together!

During those ten years, starting from the time when the eldest sister Lin Huijia got married, Lin Yijia often thought childishly: Why do girls’ families have to marry? If they didn’t get married, how wonderful it would be if time stayed in the boudoir forever.

ah……

Now, she actually got her wish!

Thinking of this, Lin Yijia couldn't help but tighten her father's arm, put her head on his father's arm, and showed a silly smile.
