Early the next morning, Xia Chen opened his eyes under Xia Tongban's wake-up call, and got dressed tremblingly. Xia Chen deeply missed the beautiful life with air conditioning and heating.
Taking advantage of the fact that the host's house was still early, Xia Chen asked Xia Tongpan to watch for him, then quickly entered the space, harvested the ripe crops in the space, and quickly replaced all the seeds with Glutinous rice seeds.
Speaking of the task he received last night, from the name to the content of the task, there was a sense of nonsense, and he was asked to plant [-] catties of glutinous rice in ten days.
This task is not difficult to complete, even without him using all the land to grow glutinous rice, it can be easily completed within the task deadline.
However, the first random task he triggered at the beginning was to cultivate improved rice seeds. It was not a boast. Xia Chen thought it was because random missions should be meaningful.
In contrast, this task is simply confusing. Apart from asking him to plant glutinous rice within the specified time, there is no other requirement. Could it be that the price of glutinous rice is going to increase?
And the rewards are also very expensive, in addition to skill points and money rewards, there are also 660 six gems.Ever since Xia Chen wasted his accumulated gemstones while drunk, every time he saw his double-digit gemstone balance, his heart ached.
The rewards for this random mission are so generous that it seems like it was given for nothing. Xia Chen almost wondered if the resource pack loaded by Xia Tongban this time had some kind of virus, which made him send himself such a mission.
But no matter how strange the task is, the rewards are real, you don’t take advantage of the bastard, and it’s just planting glutinous rice for a few days, which doesn’t hinder anything, so Xia Chen didn’t bother to delve into it, and honestly changed the seed to brush the task.
After planting the glutinous rice, Xia Chen accidentally took a glance before leaving the space, and found that the magical seed he planted last night actually sprouted a small sprout.
If the magical seeds do not mutate, the growth period and maturity period of other ordinary plants will be very short, and usually one night is enough to mature.
Xia Chen walked over in surprise, knelt down and carefully observed the ice-blue seedling for a while. At first glance, it was not an ordinary plant, and confirmed with Xia Tongban: "Ban'er, is this a mutation?"
[Yes, it mutated an hour and 27 minutes ago, when the host was sleeping. ]
"This little seedling is quite pretty." Probably because it was watered with snow water, the leaves with the size of a fingernail have snowflake-like patterns on the leaves, and the appearance is quite good.
Xia Chen looked at it happily for a while, and felt that the provocative method really worked, and the Buddha really couldn't hold his breath.
After another delay, when Xia Chen left the space, he could already hear the sound of the door being pushed outside the house. He quickly packed his things, carried the small bookcase on his back, and went to say goodbye to the host's house.
Xia Chen got up early, and now it is not long after Maoshi (five o'clock in the morning), and it is not yet dawn, but the city gate opens at Maozheng (six o'clock), so he should go back early, lest Brother Nan really find out.
The owner of this house is obviously very diligent. He got up early in the winter. Except for the little baby who was still sleeping in because of the cold, the adults had already woken up. Paper lanterns, hurrying by the faint light.
It was extremely cold in the winter morning, and the cold wind was blowing. Xia Chen wanted to tuck his face into his fluffy neckerchief, and tuck his hand holding the lantern into his sleeve, already feeling his fingers were numb from the cold.Fortunately, the snow stopped, and the snow on the road reflected the light. Xia Chen chatted with Xia Tongban while walking, otherwise the dark night road would be really scary.
As soon as he walked out of the village, Xia Chen accidentally glanced out of the corner of his eye. He was so frightened that he almost threw the lantern out. There was a man curled up beside the haystack outside a farmer's yard.
Xia Chen stood there in a daze for a while, not daring to go forward, and asked Xia Tongban tremblingly, "Ban'er, is this person dead?"
[There is still a breath of life. ]
After Xia Chen listened to it, he walked over cautiously. When the lantern shone, it turned out to be the needle girl whom he had seen yesterday.
It seems that Zhenniang has not completely lost consciousness. Hearing the movement, she opened her eyes dimly. After a while, she recognized Xia Chen's face. She panted in a hoarse voice: "Young master, you don't need to worry about me. Go on your own way."
"You seem to be sick." The antiquity of men and women in ancient times would be fatal if neglected. Xia Chen didn't dare to touch Zhenniang's forehead, but judging by her appearance, she felt like she had a fever.
"It doesn't matter." Zhenniang gave a wry smile, and persuaded in a low voice: "Young master, go away, if my mother-in-law sees it, you will definitely be confused, and it will be Zhenniang's fault that you implicate the young master."
Xia Chen thought about what the old lady told him yesterday, and he knew that what Zhenniang was telling was the truth, and he wanted to help, but even if he took Zhenniang to see a doctor, his reputation would be ruined if Zhenniang made trouble. The mother herself may not care, but she must care about her daughter.
But watching Zhenniang die like this, Xia Chen felt his conscience was uneasy again. He thought for a while, and took out a paper bag from his purse. There were a few pills and some powder in the bag. Anti-inflammatory drugs.
He once drew a home medicine box, which contained various commonly used medicines. Because it was inconvenient to go in and out of the space every time he took things, Xia Chen took out some commonly used or emergency items and put them on his body.
So he brought several purses with him, some containing snacks, some containing medicine, and a purse stuffed with two fruit bloods, which can be used for emergencies at critical moments.
Xia Chen gave the medicine to Zhenniang, told her how to take it, and left a few dimes of silver for her. Zhenniang didn't refuse, and hid all the things Xia Chen gave her on her body.She cannot die, if she dies, her mother Xuan will not be able to survive in this family.
Zhenniang took a deep look at Xia Chen, and said: "Young master is a good person, and he will be rewarded with good fortune in the future."
"Thank you for your kind words, take care." Xia Chen cupped his hands at Zhenniang, and when he heard that there was movement from another house not far away, he got up and left, so as not to leave any talk.
After walking out of the village, Xia Tongpan suddenly said: [Why did you help her? Is there anything special about her? ]
Xia Chen thought for a while, and said: "The character is good. As for why, life is especially difficult for women in this era. I met him, and I just reached out within my ability."
[There are too many suffering women in this world, you can't help them. ]
"I know. I don't have that big ambition. It just appears in front of me. I can't ignore it." Xia Chen said, "Didn't you download a lot of information about my previous world? The child who picked up fish." Have you seen it in the story? It’s almost the same meaning, if you can help one, it’s one.”
After Xia Chen finished speaking, Xia Tongban didn't reply, and he didn't think too much about it. After all, Xia Tongban is a system, and it's normal that sometimes it's difficult to understand the complex emotions of human beings.
He walked briskly, the sky was a little bit brighter now, and it was easier to walk than before, but not long after he walked, he heard a notification sound: [Congratulations to the host for getting the title, kind heart, when wearing this title, you can improve plant growth rate. ]
Xia Chen: "???"
"This... No, where did this title come from?" Xia Chen was confused.
[The host meets the requirements and obtains it by itself. ]
"What request?" Xia Chen was still in a daze: "Help others? I have helped others before, why didn't you send it to me?"
[No comment. ]
Xia Chen: "..."
It's okay, don't say it if you don't say it, anyway, he got a benefit.
While thinking about this strange title, Xia Chen hurried on his way, feeling that his luck was really good these two days. First, he triggered a random task with rich rewards and was as simple as giving away for nothing, and then the magical seed he planted mutated, and then Obtained a practical new title, as expected, good people are rewarded with good rewards.
He was in a good mood and didn't feel tired on the journey, and Xia Chen hadn't reached the city gate yet, but on the way he met Liu Si and Brother Nan who were driving a carriage out of the city.
As soon as he saw Xia Chen, Brother Nan rushed forward and looked at him with red circles: "Uncle, where have you been? You scared me to death."
Yesterday Brother Nan waited and waited but failed to find Xia Chen. He originally planned to look for it by himself, but when he heard that the city gate was closed early, he was afraid, so he had to go to the General's Mansion to look for Liu Si.
When Liu Si heard this, he felt that Xia Chen must have been delayed on the road. The law and order around the imperial capital is not bad. Xia Chen is a scholar with a reputation, and his personality is not troublesome, so it is unlikely that any accidents will happen.
So he comforted Brother Nan, and drove the carriage early the next morning. As soon as the city gate opened, the two went out to look for someone, and happened to bump into Xia Chen.
In front of Liu Si, Xia Chen couldn't tell the existence of Zijian. According to his guess, Zijian's family should also belong to the imperial family, and he didn't know how it was related to the general's mansion. He couldn't expose Zijian's identity to him at will. cause trouble.
So Xia Chen patted his nephew's head and comforted him: "Okay, look, I'm fine. It snowed on the road when I came back yesterday. The road was bad and time wasted. I couldn't close the city gate in time, so I had to stay at the villager's house." Stay overnight."
"I said nothing will happen, don't worry." Liu Si also breathed a sigh of relief, saying that he was also worried.
Xia Chen jumped into the carriage, Liu Si was driving in front, Brother Nan was frightened, and shrank beside him to talk to him.
Liu Sixian took them to have breakfast, which is also a time-honored restaurant, with mutton pancakes and haggis soup. Xia Chen seldom eats mutton at home, because his sister-in-law doesn't know how to handle mutton, and the smell is not clean. Can eat but not cook.
But in this mutton restaurant, the mutton is very authentic, and the smell of mutton is almost cleaned. The mutton pancakes are very thin and fried with scallion oil until golden on both sides. When you bite down, the gravy bursts in your mouth, tender and tender. The mutton was chopped with some finely chopped vegetables to make stuffing. Xia Chen only ate shallots and diced radish, but he didn't eat the rest, but the taste was really delicious.
Haggis soup was also very delicious, fragrant and mellow. Xia Chen drank a large bowl of soup and pancakes the size of two adult palms alone. Brother Nan ate twice as much as Xia Chen, and Liu Si had more than Brother Nan. Eat one, the appetite of martial arts practitioners is really not covered.
Xia Chen wrote down this shop, thinking about the opportunity to bring Zijian to eat. Although Zijian is from the Imperial Capital, he has always lived on the mountain, and he would never have the opportunity to eat these street snacks.
Thinking of Zi Jian, Xia Chen asked Liu Si about places where he could eat, drink and have fun in the capital. What he said was eating, drinking and having fun in the superficial sense. So he took him to eat and play in the imperial capital, and then went home with him without any worries.
After dinner, Liu Si sent them back to the inn, and then returned to the General's Mansion by himself.
Xia Chen and Brother Nan went upstairs and gave him the cakes he had left for Brother Nan. When Brother Nan saw these delicate pastries that he had never seen before, he cheered and took another Chew on a piece of sesame cold cake.
Xia Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, knocked him, wrapped up the rest and gave him all, told him not to be greedy, and then sent Brother Nan back to his room.
Because he got up too early in the morning, Xia Chen was full and a little sleepy, so he simply washed up, took off his coat and went to bed.
At noon, Xia Chen took advantage of the good weather to take Brother Nan out for a stroll, bought some gadgets that he thought were interesting, and bought gifts for his family.
In the evening Xia Chen chatted with Wen Shu, excitedly said: "If the weather is fine tomorrow, I will take Brother Nan up the mountain to see you."
Anyway, he bought everything he should buy. After the exam and waiting for the rankings, he will have some time to go shopping. The weather will be better then, and it will be more suitable for shopping.
Now, it's cold and hard to walk, so it's better to stay at home with his friends, anyway, he planned to rent a small yard by himself, and it's convenient and save money, Zijian is still happy.
As for the little nephew, Xia Chen believed that with those chefs around, Brother Nan wouldn't say a word that was unnecessary.
Wen Shu was also very happy to hear the news. After Xia Chen left, he waited for a whole day the next day, and almost ran down the mountain. Zhe Liu persuaded him that Xia Chen had just returned, so he must clean up. Only then did he persuade him.
Hearing what Xia Chen said now, when he thought of seeing him again tomorrow, the anxiety in Wen Shu's heart faded a little, and he said to Xia Chen: "Don't go into Baocheng Temple tomorrow, and wait for me at the place where we left last time. I will pick you up."
There has always been the eyeliner of Duke Ding's mansion in the temple. In the past, Wen Shu didn't bother to care about it. As long as his head was not stretched too far, and it didn't get in the way of his eyes, he would pass by with one eye closed, and he didn't bother to stretch out his hand. chop.
But it's different now, if they find Xia Chen, it will be troublesome, he will inevitably have to confront Duke Ding's mansion in advance.
Knowing his situation, Xia Chen naturally listened to him. The two agreed on a meeting place, saved a little energy, and said good night in advance.
The weather in winter is bad and the sun is rare, especially these days. Xia Chen was afraid that he would use up the energy of the morning glory and be too late to recharge and contact Zijian, so he could only do this.
After chatting, Xia Chen didn't go to bed directly, but read a book for a while. Although he had the mentality of visiting and studying for this exam, he couldn't take it completely seriously.
The fellows living in the inn have already held several poetry and literature meetings. Xia Chen either went to the General’s Mansion to meet him, went out of the city to find someone, or took Brother Nan out for shopping. He never attended a gathering , not only is set off to be particularly idle, but also looks very out of gregarious.
If you don't fit in, you don't fit in. Anyway, he will move to live with Zijian soon, bah, no, I talked with Zijian Bingzhu night. One close friend is enough. If other classmates don't take him to play, then it won't work Bring it.
However, God may not be able to see that Xia Chen had a good idea. That night, Xia Chen was still asleep when he was woken up by a loud "bang" and found that the window panels in his room had been scraped open.
The strong wind brought snowflakes into the house, and the temperature in the house dropped sharply in a short while. Xia Chen was shivering from the cold as he clutched the quilt. Enduring the cold, he quickly put on his clothes, ran to the window to close the window, and found that I can't close it anyway, so I can only go out and find the shop assistant.
After I went out, I found out that the windows of his house were not scraped open. There were two rooms on the first floor, and half of the window boards were directly scraped off.
There were a lot of people sitting in the lobby, the innkeeper was talking to some scholars in long gowns, and some clerks were running up and down with tools. When Xia Chen went down, the boss had just sent those scholars away, with a bitter face Muttering: "It's really evil. After opening the inn for so many years, I have never seen such an evil weather this winter. It snows and clears for a while, and the wind blows like a razor blade..."
Hearing what he said was interesting, Xia Chen pursed his lips and smiled, and told the boss about the situation in his room. The boss agreed to arrange for someone to repair it after a while, and asked him to wait in the lobby first.
Xia Chen glanced at the people in the lobby who were already drinking and chatting around the brazier. He didn't know any of them well, so he went upstairs and knocked on Brother Nan's door.
Foolish people are blessed with foolishness. The two rooms are next to each other. There is nothing wrong with Brother Nan's house. There is so much commotion outside, and this silly nephew is still sleeping like a little pig and doesn't know anything. Xia Chen knocked on the door for a long time .
Hearing that the window in Xia Chen's room was broken, Brother Nan went with him to move all the luggage in his room to Brother Nan's room, and ignored the rest, just waiting for the inn to send someone to repair the window.
Accompanied by Brother Nan's rhythmic snoring, Xia Chen fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, Xia Chen immediately sat up and asked Xia Tongban what time was it.
Knowing that it was almost past time (nine o'clock), Xia Chen was shocked: "It's broken, I have an appointment with Zijian, and I'm going to be late."
[You look out the window. ]
Xia Chen put on his clothes and got out of bed, and tried to unbolt the bolt. As soon as he opened the window, the wind with snowflakes hit his face. The outside of the window was already covered with snow. A snow city.
Apparently, it snowed heavily all night, and it hasn't stopped until now. The goose feathers are fluttering, and only a few pedestrians can be seen on the street.
"Uncle, what are you doing? It's freezing to death." Brother Nan woke up from the cold, opened his eyes and found his uncle standing in front of the window, muttering and shouting.
"It's okay, you go to bed first." Xia Chen closed the window again, put on his clothes and went out, just bumped into a guy who came upstairs to deliver hot water, so he stopped him and asked: "Little brother, please ask, how will this be?" Can you find a carriage to get out of town?"
"Oh, it's not going to happen now." The man said: "I don't know if you haven't gone out. The snow outside is up to your ankles. I just heard from the firewood delivery person that the road outside the city was stuck for a while. It was snow and it was sunny, the road was soaked, and there were big mud holes, whoever dares to drive out now, if they get stuck, they can't get out."
Xia Chen frowned immediately, and dismissed the clerk, Xia Chen returned to his own room, the windows were repaired last night, he closed the door and entered the space.
At the beginning, the summoning spell in the magic book was designed for fun, but after using it, I realized that the degree of shame was a bit high. Xia Chen simply put the commonly used morning glory in the space, and did not include it in the magic book.
Going in now, Xia Chen touched the petals directly, he wanted to explain the situation here to Zi Jian, and told him not to wait, he might not be able to leave the city today.
The call was quickly connected, and it was obvious that Zijian was on the other side. Xia Chen told Zijian about not being able to find a carriage to get out of the city, and there was a muffled hum on the other side, obviously not very happy.
"I'm sorry." Xia Chen said in a nasty voice. Although he was forced to do so, it was indeed him who missed the appointment.
In fact, even if he found a carriage to go out of the city, at most he would be sent to the foot of the mountain, and he would still have to walk up the mountain by himself. The stone ladder might be covered by such heavy snow.
"Don't blame Yuan Bao." Hearing Xia Chen's low voice of apology, Wen Shu comforted him in turn.
He was a little annoyed, he only remembered the day when the corpse was lifted up, but he forgot that before the day when the corpse was lifted up, there had been heavy snowfall for more than ten days, and the entire imperial capital was almost buried in snow.Then it suddenly cleared up, the sun was as bright as in midsummer, and then it was the day of raising the corpse.
If he had remembered earlier, he would not have let Xia Chen go down the mountain the day before yesterday, so he could have stayed in the mountain with him through the heavy snow.
"When the snow is a little younger, I'll go find you." Xia Chen felt guilty and tried his best to make up for it. He decided to go to the carriage shop to place an order first, and let them come to him as soon as they can leave the city.
"No need." Wen Shu suddenly refused: "You just wait there, don't run around when the snow is too heavy, wait until I come to you."
In order to prevent him from going down the mountain this morning, Zheliu tried his best to give examples of how dangerous it is to travel in this kind of weather. Wen Shu himself didn't care. Since his body became stronger, the environment has less and less restricting him.But Yuan Bao of his family is an ordinary person, so he cannot be allowed to take this risk.
"Huh? Can you go down the mountain?" Xia Chen asked in surprise. After receiving a confirmation reply, he repeated what Wen Shu had told him, telling him not to go down the mountain in the snow, which was too unsafe.
After rambling on for a while, forcing Wen Shu to give a definite answer, Xia Chen ended the call.
Because there is no sun, the trumpet flower can't recharge its energy, and now there is not much energy left, so Xia Chen dare not talk to Wen Shu.
After finishing the call, Xia Chen went downstairs to order breakfast, but Wen Shu stood still.
Zhe Liu was holding a big umbrella, but the wind was so strong that it couldn't cover anything at all, and the snowflakes were still rolling all over his body. He glanced at his master who was only wearing a thin brocade robe, and couldn't help shivering. He whispered: "Master, let's go back."
He was dragged to wait for someone on the road early in the morning, with such heavy snow, Zhe Liu had already guessed that Master Xia would not come, but his master must come, for fear that Master Xia would not be able to find his way alone.
"I can't wait." Wen Shu looked down at the red camellia in front of him, and asked without answering, "Say, how about getting rid of those disgusting things at once?"
......
It snowed heavily for a week, and even the snowflakes did not get smaller. When I stretched out my hand from the window, I received full snowflakes the size of a fingernail.
Everyone in the inn is trapped here, the room rate has not increased, but all other expenses have increased.
When I first moved in, hot water was free, but now, a pot of hot water has increased from five yuan to ten yuan, and white flour steamed cakes have increased from two yuan to eight yuan each.
There were many complaints in the inn, the guests in the middle and upper rooms were okay, and those who could afford high-priced rooms would not be able to afford a pot of hot water for ten yuan.But the customers of the lower-class houses and Datong shops are very dissatisfied. They choose to live in such houses because of poverty. Now that the price of hot water and food has risen to this level, no one can afford it.
The owner of the inn complained to everyone that the firewood deliverers would not come because of such a heavy snowfall. He sent out workers to buy firewood every day. Why do you need to be this villain.
The boss said that if you are dissatisfied, you can also buy firewood yourself, and they can use the stove to boil water.
Xia Chen lay quietly on the railing, watching the innkeeper dismiss the troublemakers, and all the strong guys in the store stood beside the innkeeper.
Brother Nan was worried: "Uncle, why don't we change rooms to live in, or move back to another room and let us live together..."
Xia Chen knew what he was worried about, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Dad gave me enough money when we left, enough for us to spend, so you don't have to worry about it, you should eat and drink, think so at a young age. Too much, I just ate a steamed pancake last night, are you planning to starve yourself to death for my little uncle?"
The author has something to say: Ni Meng see clearly!This is really an update. I originally planned to split the development into two chapters, one chapter each in the morning and evening. I tried it and found that it is not easy to split. Forget it, I will post it together. Don’t say I didn’t add updates!
That's right, the end is coming, and I will continue to add updates tomorrow. I will try to speed up the process and write it earlier, and then we will start playing zombies.
Taking advantage of the fact that the host's house was still early, Xia Chen asked Xia Tongpan to watch for him, then quickly entered the space, harvested the ripe crops in the space, and quickly replaced all the seeds with Glutinous rice seeds.
Speaking of the task he received last night, from the name to the content of the task, there was a sense of nonsense, and he was asked to plant [-] catties of glutinous rice in ten days.
This task is not difficult to complete, even without him using all the land to grow glutinous rice, it can be easily completed within the task deadline.

After planting the glutinous rice, Xia Chen accidentally took a glance before leaving the space, and found that the magical seed he planted last night actually sprouted a small sprout.
If the magical seeds do not mutate, the growth period and maturity period of other ordinary plants will be very short, and usually one night is enough to mature.

Xia Chen looked at it happily for a while, and felt that the provocative method really worked, and the Buddha really couldn't hold his breath.
After another delay, when Xia Chen left the space, he could already hear the sound of the door being pushed outside the house. He quickly packed his things, carried the small bookcase on his back, and went to say goodbye to the host's house.
Xia Chen got up early, and now it is not long after Maoshi (five o'clock in the morning), and it is not yet dawn, but the city gate opens at Maozheng (six o'clock), so he should go back early, lest Brother Nan really find out.
The owner of this house is obviously very diligent. He got up early in the winter. Except for the little baby who was still sleeping in because of the cold, the adults had already woken up. Paper lanterns, hurrying by the faint light.
It was extremely cold in the winter morning, and the cold wind was blowing.

The mother herself may not care, but she must care about her daughter.
But watching Zhenniang die like this, Xia Chen felt his conscience was uneasy again. He thought for a while, and took out a paper bag from his purse. There were a few pills and some powder in the bag. Anti-inflammatory drugs.
He once drew a home medicine box, which contained various commonly used medicines. Because it was inconvenient to go in and out of the space every time he took things, Xia Chen took out some commonly used or emergency items and put them on his body.
So he brought several purses with him, some containing snacks, some containing medicine, and a purse stuffed with two fruit bloods, which can be used for emergencies at critical moments.
Xia Chen gave the medicine to Zhenniang, told her how to take it, and left a few dimes of silver for her. Zhenniang didn't refuse, and hid all the things Xia Chen gave her on her body.She cannot die, if she dies, her mother Xuan will not be able to survive in this family.
Zhenniang took a deep look at Xia Chen, and said: "Young master is a good person, and he will be rewarded with good fortune in the future."
"Thank you for your kind words, take care." Xia Chen cupped his hands at Zhenniang, and when he heard that there was movement from another house not far away, he got up and left, so as not to leave any talk.

"I know. I don't have that big ambition. It just appears in front of me. I can't ignore it." Xia Chen said, "Didn't you download a lot of information about my previous world? The child who picked up fish." Have you seen it in the story? It’s almost the same meaning, if you can help one, it’s one.”
After Xia Chen finished speaking, Xia Tongban didn't reply, and he didn't think too much about it. After all, Xia Tongban is a system, and it's normal that sometimes it's difficult to understand the complex emotions of human beings.

First, he triggered a random task with rich rewards and was as simple as giving away for nothing, and then the magical seed he planted mutated, and then Obtained a practical new title, as expected, good people are rewarded with good rewards.
He was in a good mood and didn't feel tired on the journey, and Xia Chen hadn't reached the city gate yet, but on the way he met Liu Si and Brother Nan who were driving a carriage out of the city.
As soon as he saw Xia Chen, Brother Nan rushed forward and looked at him with red circles: "Uncle, where have you been? You scared me to death."
Yesterday Brother Nan waited and waited but failed to find Xia Chen. He originally planned to look for it by himself, but when he heard that the city gate was closed early, he was afraid, so he had to go to the General's Mansion to look for Liu Si.
When Liu Si heard this, he felt that Xia Chen must have been delayed on the road. The law and order around the imperial capital is not bad. Xia Chen is a scholar with a reputation, and his personality is not troublesome, so it is unlikely that any accidents will happen.
So he comforted Brother Nan, and drove the carriage early the next morning. As soon as the city gate opened, the two went out to look for someone, and happened to bump into Xia Chen.
In front of Liu Si, Xia Chen couldn't tell the existence of Zijian. According to his guess, Zijian's family should also belong to the imperial family, and he didn't know how it was related to the general's mansion. He couldn't expose Zijian's identity to him at will. cause trouble.
So Xia Chen patted his nephew's head and comforted him: "Okay, look, I'm fine. It snowed on the road when I came back yesterday. The road was bad and time wasted. I couldn't close the city gate in time, so I had to stay at the villager's house." Stay overnight."
"I said nothing will happen, don't worry." Liu Si also breathed a sigh of relief, saying that he was also worried.
Xia Chen jumped into the carriage, Liu Si was driving in front, Brother Nan was frightened, and shrank beside him to talk to him.
Liu Sixian took them to have breakfast, which is also a time-honored restaurant, with mutton pancakes and haggis soup. Xia Chen seldom eats mutton at home, because his sister-in-law doesn't know how to handle mutton, and the smell is not clean. Can eat but not cook.
But in this mutton restaurant, the mutton is very authentic, and the smell of mutton is almost cleaned. The mutton pancakes are very thin and fried with scallion oil until golden on both sides. When you bite down, the gravy bursts in your mouth, tender and tender. The mutton was chopped with some finely chopped vegetables to make stuffing. Xia Chen only ate shallots and diced radish, but he didn't eat the rest, but the taste was really delicious.
Haggis soup was also very delicious, fragrant and mellow. Xia Chen drank a large bowl of soup and pancakes the size of two adult palms alone. Brother Nan ate twice as much as Xia Chen, and Liu Si had more than Brother Nan. Eat one, the appetite of martial arts practitioners is really not covered.
Xia Chen wrote down this shop, thinking about the opportunity to bring Zijian to eat. Although Zijian is from the Imperial Capital, he has always lived on the mountain, and he would never have the opportunity to eat these street snacks.
Thinking of Zi Jian, Xia Chen asked Liu Si about places where he could eat, drink and have fun in the capital. What he said was eating, drinking and having fun in the superficial sense. So he took him to eat and play in the imperial capital, and then went home with him without any worries.
After dinner, Liu Si sent them back to the inn, and then returned to the General's Mansion by himself.
Xia Chen and Brother Nan went upstairs and gave him the cakes he had left for Brother Nan. When Brother Nan saw these delicate pastries that he had never seen before, he cheered and took another Chew on a piece of sesame cold cake.
Xia Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, knocked him, wrapped up the rest and gave him all, told him not to be greedy, and then sent Brother Nan back to his room.
Because he got up too early in the morning, Xia Chen was full and a little sleepy, so he simply washed up, took off his coat and went to bed.
At noon, Xia Chen took advantage of the good weather to take Brother Nan out for a stroll, bought some gadgets that he thought were interesting, and bought gifts for his family.
In the evening Xia Chen chatted with Wen Shu, excitedly said: "If the weather is fine tomorrow, I will take Brother Nan up the mountain to see you."
Anyway, he bought everything he should buy. After the exam and waiting for the rankings, he will have some time to go shopping. The weather will be better then, and it will be more suitable for shopping.
Now, it's cold and hard to walk, so it's better to stay at home with his friends, anyway, he planned to rent a small yard by himself, and it's convenient and save money, Zijian is still happy.
As for the little nephew, Xia Chen believed that with those chefs around, Brother Nan wouldn't say a word that was unnecessary.
Wen Shu was also very happy to hear the news. After Xia Chen left, he waited for a whole day the next day, and almost ran down the mountain. Zhe Liu persuaded him that Xia Chen had just returned, so he must clean up. Only then did he persuade him.
Hearing what Xia Chen said now, when he thought of seeing him again tomorrow, the anxiety in Wen Shu's heart faded a little, and he said to Xia Chen: "Don't go into Baocheng Temple tomorrow, and wait for me at the place where we left last time. I will pick you up."
There has always been the eyeliner of Duke Ding's mansion in the temple. In the past, Wen Shu didn't bother to care about it. As long as his head was not stretched too far, and it didn't get in the way of his eyes, he would pass by with one eye closed, and he didn't bother to stretch out his hand. chop.
But it's different now, if they find Xia Chen, it will be troublesome, he will inevitably have to confront Duke Ding's mansion in advance.
Knowing his situation, Xia Chen naturally listened to him. The two agreed on a meeting place, saved a little energy, and said good night in advance.
The weather in winter is bad and the sun is rare, especially these days. Xia Chen was afraid that he would use up the energy of the morning glory and be too late to recharge and contact Zijian, so he could only do this.
After chatting, Xia Chen didn't go to bed directly, but read a book for a while. Although he had the mentality of visiting and studying for this exam, he couldn't take it completely seriously.
The fellows living in the inn have already held several poetry and literature meetings. Xia Chen either went to the General’s Mansion to meet him, went out of the city to find someone, or took Brother Nan out for shopping. He never attended a gathering , not only is set off to be particularly idle, but also looks very out of gregarious.
If you don't fit in, you don't fit in. Anyway, he will move to live with Zijian soon, bah, no, I talked with Zijian Bingzhu night. One close friend is enough. If other classmates don't take him to play, then it won't work Bring it.
However, God may not be able to see that Xia Chen had a good idea. That night, Xia Chen was still asleep when he was woken up by a loud "bang" and found that the window panels in his room had been scraped open.
The strong wind brought snowflakes into the house, and the temperature in the house dropped sharply in a short while. Xia Chen was shivering from the cold as he clutched the quilt. Enduring the cold, he quickly put on his clothes, ran to the window to close the window, and found that I can't close it anyway, so I can only go out and find the shop assistant.
After I went out, I found out that the windows of his house were not scraped open. There were two rooms on the first floor, and half of the window boards were directly scraped off.
There were a lot of people sitting in the lobby, the innkeeper was talking to some scholars in long gowns, and some clerks were running up and down with tools. When Xia Chen went down, the boss had just sent those scholars away, with a bitter face Muttering: "It's really evil. After opening the inn for so many years, I have never seen such an evil weather this winter. It snows and clears for a while, and the wind blows like a razor blade..."
Hearing what he said was interesting, Xia Chen pursed his lips and smiled, and told the boss about the situation in his room. The boss agreed to arrange for someone to repair it after a while, and asked him to wait in the lobby first.
Xia Chen glanced at the people in the lobby who were already drinking and chatting around the brazier. He didn't know any of them well, so he went upstairs and knocked on Brother Nan's door.
Foolish people are blessed with foolishness. The two rooms are next to each other. There is nothing wrong with Brother Nan's house. There is so much commotion outside, and this silly nephew is still sleeping like a little pig and doesn't know anything. Xia Chen knocked on the door for a long time .
Hearing that the window in Xia Chen's room was broken, Brother Nan went with him to move all the luggage in his room to Brother Nan's room, and ignored the rest, just waiting for the inn to send someone to repair the window.
Accompanied by Brother Nan's rhythmic snoring, Xia Chen fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, Xia Chen immediately sat up and asked Xia Tongban what time was it.
Knowing that it was almost past time (nine o'clock), Xia Chen was shocked: "It's broken, I have an appointment with Zijian, and I'm going to be late."
[You look out the window. ]
Xia Chen put on his clothes and got out of bed, and tried to unbolt the bolt. As soon as he opened the window, the wind with snowflakes hit his face. The outside of the window was already covered with snow. A snow city.
Apparently, it snowed heavily all night, and it hasn't stopped until now. The goose feathers are fluttering, and only a few pedestrians can be seen on the street.
"Uncle, what are you doing? It's freezing to death." Brother Nan woke up from the cold, opened his eyes and found his uncle standing in front of the window, muttering and shouting.
"It's okay, you go to bed first." Xia Chen closed the window again, put on his clothes and went out, just bumped into a guy who came upstairs to deliver hot water, so he stopped him and asked: "Little brother, please ask, how will this be?" Can you find a carriage to get out of town?"
"Oh, it's not going to happen now." The man said: "I don't know if you haven't gone out. The snow outside is up to your ankles. I just heard from the firewood delivery person that the road outside the city was stuck for a while. It was snow and it was sunny, the road was soaked, and there were big mud holes, whoever dares to drive out now, if they get stuck, they can't get out."
Xia Chen frowned immediately, and dismissed the clerk, Xia Chen returned to his own room, the windows were repaired last night, he closed the door and entered the space.
At the beginning, the summoning spell in the magic book was designed for fun, but after using it, I realized that the degree of shame was a bit high. Xia Chen simply put the commonly used morning glory in the space, and did not include it in the magic book.
Going in now, Xia Chen touched the petals directly, he wanted to explain the situation here to Zi Jian, and told him not to wait, he might not be able to leave the city today.
The call was quickly connected, and it was obvious that Zijian was on the other side. Xia Chen told Zijian about not being able to find a carriage to get out of the city, and there was a muffled hum on the other side, obviously not very happy.
"I'm sorry." Xia Chen said in a nasty voice. Although he was forced to do so, it was indeed him who missed the appointment.
In fact, even if he found a carriage to go out of the city, at most he would be sent to the foot of the mountain, and he would still have to walk up the mountain by himself. The stone ladder might be covered by such heavy snow.
"Don't blame Yuan Bao." Hearing Xia Chen's low voice of apology, Wen Shu comforted him in turn.
He was a little annoyed, he only remembered the day when the corpse was lifted up, but he forgot that before the day when the corpse was lifted up, there had been heavy snowfall for more than ten days, and the entire imperial capital was almost buried in snow.Then it suddenly cleared up, the sun was as bright as in midsummer, and then it was the day of raising the corpse.
If he had remembered earlier, he would not have let Xia Chen go down the mountain the day before yesterday, so he could have stayed in the mountain with him through the heavy snow.
"When the snow is a little younger, I'll go find you." Xia Chen felt guilty and tried his best to make up for it. He decided to go to the carriage shop to place an order first, and let them come to him as soon as they can leave the city.
"No need." Wen Shu suddenly refused: "You just wait there, don't run around when the snow is too heavy, wait until I come to you."
In order to prevent him from going down the mountain this morning, Zheliu tried his best to give examples of how dangerous it is to travel in this kind of weather. Wen Shu himself didn't care. Since his body became stronger, the environment has less and less restricting him.But Yuan Bao of his family is an ordinary person, so he cannot be allowed to take this risk.
"Huh? Can you go down the mountain?" Xia Chen asked in surprise. After receiving a confirmation reply, he repeated what Wen Shu had told him, telling him not to go down the mountain in the snow, which was too unsafe.
After rambling on for a while, forcing Wen Shu to give a definite answer, Xia Chen ended the call.
Because there is no sun, the trumpet flower can't recharge its energy, and now there is not much energy left, so Xia Chen dare not talk to Wen Shu.
After finishing the call, Xia Chen went downstairs to order breakfast, but Wen Shu stood still.
Zhe Liu was holding a big umbrella, but the wind was so strong that it couldn't cover anything at all, and the snowflakes were still rolling all over his body. He glanced at his master who was only wearing a thin brocade robe, and couldn't help shivering. He whispered: "Master, let's go back."
He was dragged to wait for someone on the road early in the morning, with such heavy snow, Zhe Liu had already guessed that Master Xia would not come, but his master must come, for fear that Master Xia would not be able to find his way alone.
"I can't wait." Wen Shu looked down at the red camellia in front of him, and asked without answering, "Say, how about getting rid of those disgusting things at once?"
......
It snowed heavily for a week, and even the snowflakes did not get smaller. When I stretched out my hand from the window, I received full snowflakes the size of a fingernail.
Everyone in the inn is trapped here, the room rate has not increased, but all other expenses have increased.
When I first moved in, hot water was free, but now, a pot of hot water has increased from five yuan to ten yuan, and white flour steamed cakes have increased from two yuan to eight yuan each.
There were many complaints in the inn, the guests in the middle and upper rooms were okay, and those who could afford high-priced rooms would not be able to afford a pot of hot water for ten yuan.But the customers of the lower-class houses and Datong shops are very dissatisfied. They choose to live in such houses because of poverty. Now that the price of hot water and food has risen to this level, no one can afford it.
The owner of the inn complained to everyone that the firewood deliverers would not come because of such a heavy snowfall. He sent out workers to buy firewood every day. Why do you need to be this villain.
The boss said that if you are dissatisfied, you can also buy firewood yourself, and they can use the stove to boil water.
Xia Chen lay quietly on the railing, watching the innkeeper dismiss the troublemakers, and all the strong guys in the store stood beside the innkeeper.
Brother Nan was worried: "Uncle, why don't we change rooms to live in, or move back to another room and let us live together..."
Xia Chen knew what he was worried about, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Dad gave me enough money when we left, enough for us to spend, so you don't have to worry about it, you should eat and drink, think so at a young age. Too much, I just ate a steamed pancake last night, are you planning to starve yourself to death for my little uncle?"
The author has something to say: Ni Meng see clearly!This is really an update. I originally planned to split the development into two chapters, one chapter each in the morning and evening. I tried it and found that it is not easy to split. Forget it, I will post it together. Don’t say I didn’t add updates!
That's right, the end is coming, and I will continue to add updates tomorrow. I will try to speed up the process and write it earlier, and then we will start playing zombies.
