Chapter 150 Return to Beijing Twelve

At this time, Nan Yan put on a thick red Confucian skirt and a red cloak, and slowly walked out of the carriage with Zi Su's support.

Seeing Nan Yan coming down, the girl held up an umbrella and whispered to Nan Yan: "Miss, the ground is slippery, please pay attention to your safety."

Nan Yan took the umbrella from the girl's hand and said, "I'll do it myself."

The girl is Nan Yan's servant, and she has known Nan Yan's temperament for such a long time.

Nan Yan took the umbrella, she handed the umbrella to Nan Yan and bowed to Nan Yan before stepping away.

Nan Yan held an umbrella to the carriage where her parents were sitting, and saw some subordinates standing guard outside the carriage.

I knew that Kong Shangci had not gotten off the carriage yet.

Seeing that the sleet was still falling, Nan Yan had no intention of asking Kong Shangci to go with her to see how the tent was being set up.

He raised his feet and walked towards the bustling crowd.

When Nan Yan saw these men busy, she wore the raincoat she had ordered earlier.

There was less rain on her body, but it was cold and freezing season. Nan Yan ordered Zi Su to prepare cold medicine for her, and went to the cooking place to fry the medicine for everyone to drink to prevent them from getting sick after being exposed to rain and snow.

Here, Nan Liang ordered his subordinates to set up tents, and Nan Yan, who held an umbrella and explained the matter about Zi Su, locked eyes.

Why did this child get out of the carriage?

It’s raining and snowing so hard. What if you get caught in the rain or snow and get cold?

Nan Liang went to Nan Yan's side and glanced over her head. There was no rain or snow on her clothes and he assured her, "Why did you get off the carriage before you called me, father?"

Nan Yan grinned and showed her big white teeth and said: "My daughter asked Zi Su to take people to boil the medicine, and dad will let everyone drink some later.

If you get caught in the rain outdoors, don’t catch a cold.”

"I know, dad will let everyone drink it later."

Even if his daughter didn't prepare it, he would ask his servants to fry the medicine.

The father and daughter exchanged a few words, and Nan Liang asked Nan Yan to rest in the tent that had been set up while he went to bring Kong Shangci down.

Nan Yan looked at the sleet and snow falling in the sky, feeling sad.

We were about to arrive in Beijing, but the weather was bad on the way.

The rain kept falling, and the sleet might turn into heavy snow and scatter on the land.

If it snows heavily, how will they rush to Beijing while they are still on the road?

Oh, what a headache.

When Nan Yan was struggling, Kong Shangci walked in with the support of Nan Liang.

Seeing her daughter's frown, she said, "What are you thinking about?"

Nan Yan stood up from the bench and reached out to hold Kong Shangci's hands.

Feeling that her mother's hands were not cold and warm, she smiled and said: "My daughter is thinking, if the weather stays like this, how will we rush to Beijing." Fortunately, my mother wore a lot of clothes, and she did a good job of keeping warm and she didn't feel cold.

I arrived, my hands were warm.

Kong Shangci was also worried about how they would go next if it continued to rain.

Nan Liang comforted his wife and daughter and said: "After we finish lunch, the rain and snow will continue to fall, and we will go to "Tianxi Village" a hundred miles ahead to stay for a few days.

After the rain and snow stop, it won’t be too late for us to return to Beijing.”

Nan Yan and Kong Shangci nodded in agreement with Nan Liang's arrangement.

After the group had lunch, the sleet and sleet were not as heavy as before.

Upon seeing this, Nan Liang arranged for people to dismantle and set up three tents, and the group continued to move forward while the rain and snow were light.

The weather was unpredictable. Nan Yan and her group had just left for half an hour when it started to rain again.

Oh no, it can't be said to be raining this time, but snowflakes are falling.

Snowflakes were falling from the sky and fell to the ground. Zi Su frowned and said, "Miss, you see it's snowing."

Nan Yan raised her head and looked out the window, and she saw snowflakes like goose feathers.

Nan Yan murmured: "The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, which is a good sign. The people will have a good harvest in the coming year."

Meng Ran echoed: "Yes, the snow in December is really timely." He added: "If there are two more snows in January and February, as the old saying goes, if you cover yourself with three layers of quilt in winter, you will have a good harvest.

"

Nan Yan nodded and replied: "That's the truth."

Covered with three layers of quilt, auspicious snow heralds a good harvest and a good harvest. These three sentences mean that when wheat is spending the winter, if it snows, it will be like covering the wheat with a layer of quilt, which can "insulate" the wheat.

"Efficacy.

And because of the cold weather, many pests and diseases will freeze to death, making it less likely for pests and diseases to occur next year.

And there is another advantage. After the snow melts, it can prevent the wheat from turning green due to lack of water.

The three of them were talking on Nan Yan's side, while Nan Liang discussed with Kong Shangci that it was snowing and it was difficult to travel, so they decided to stay in Tianxi Village temporarily.

So when the sky was getting darker and darker, the group finally arrived at Zhongtianxi Village in Nanliangkou.

Since Nan Yan and Kong Shangci were women, Nan Liang asked them to wait in the carriage while he took people to find the village chief and ask him to help him find a place to stay.

Nan Liang was very eloquent, and he was very noble and had money in his hands.

The head of Tianxi Village accepted Nanliang's ten taels of silver and quickly arranged for them to live in a house in the village where only an old lady lived.

When she arrived at the place, Nan Yan got off the carriage and inspected the farmyard.

This small farmhouse is an earthen house.

The earthen house has a main house and two rooms on both sides of the main house.

The layout of this house is similar to the one she had in Zhoujiacun.

It's just that the walls of this house are fences, and her original yard was made of blue bricks.

When Nan Yan looked at the three houses, the head of Tianjia Village was a little embarrassed and said: "Mr. Nan, please forgive me for the poor hospitality in the simple houses."

Nan Liang is not someone who has never lived in a mud house.

I remember when my father took the two brothers back to their hometown, and he took them to do farm work in the fields.

Facing the embarrassment of the village chief, he showed an approachable look and said: "Thank you very much, village chief. I have been asking for a place to live temporarily. How can I blame you for not being well received."

The village chief's worried heart relaxed a little after hearing what Nan Liang said, and he was not as nervous as before.

When the village chief saw that it was getting dark, he exchanged a few words with Nan Liang and then went back.

When Nan Yan saw the village chief leaving, not only did he leave, he also took the old lady from the house with him.

Nan Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "Dad, the village chief is gone, please take a rest."

My father has been busy today, so I have to give him a break before I can find a place to live.

Nan Liang stared at Nan Yan lovingly and said, "Father knows."

Nan Yan smiled and urged: "Father and mother, go and take a break. My daughter will go to the kitchen and make some food."

Kong Shangci was not tired from riding in the carriage, and her daughter said she wanted to go to the kitchen too.

However, my husband has been busy all day today, and I am afraid that my husband will catch the cold in the rain, snow, so I have to take good care of my husband first.

On the carriage, Nan Yan was preparing food and various seasonings.

If Nan Yan wants to cook, she won't use the host's ingredients.

Besides, the poverty-stricken family did not let Nan Yan have trouble with food.

Nan Yan is going to make a pork rib soup, stir-fry a dry pot duck, and stir-fry three side dishes.

Nan Yan almost prepared dinner with Meng Ran and Zi Su.

The head of Tianxi Village brought his wife and a wooden basin to the courtyard where Nan Yan and the others were staying temporarily and said, "Mr. Nan, this is the dish cooked by my wife. I, I will bring it here for you, Mr. Nan, to try."

As the village chief spoke, Nan Yan felt sweat bubble up on his forehead.

Nan Yan raised her eyebrows at her father. Nan Liang smiled fondly and turned to the village chief and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, village chief."

The village chief waved his hand and said: "No hard work, no hard work. This is what I should do as the head of a village."

The chicken in the basin was brought back from Aunt Wu's house.

I hurriedly went to the chicken coop and slaughtered the old hens that my family had been reluctant to eat, and slaughtered them to entertain Nan Yan and her party.

The village chief brought food to Nan Yan and the others, but Nan Liang was too embarrassed to just accept the food and drive them away, leaving the village chief and his wife to eat in the house.
