My ancient leisure life

Xu Nuo was lying comfortably under the quilt, and the charcoal oven was warm in the carriage. He blinked, and then blinked again, feeling like he was in a dream.

He tilted his head to face Shang Cheng Ge's smiling eyes, and smiled unconsciously, "It's good to have you!"

Cheng Ge smiled, handed him a glass of water, and said, "Drink some water first to moisten your throat."

Xu Nuo took it and drank it in one gulp, "Have another glass."

"Stop drinking." Cheng Ge took the cup and said, "I made porridge for you, get up and have a bowl."

"Hmm." Xu Nuo licked his lips and got up to get dressed.

While drinking the porridge, he listened to Cheng Ge explain how he found it. After a few simple words, there was nothing else.

Xu Nuo looked at him suspiciously, "That's all?"

"Yeah." Cheng Ge nodded and said, "It took me a while to find you, but I didn't dare to keep chasing you. I looked for you carefully when I passed by towns, so I was afraid I might miss you."

We can't talk about the dangerous journey to send Zhao Wenhao, and we can't talk about Xu's mother and son, so there is nothing to talk about.

"Oh!" He suddenly remembered something about his family, "By the way, I brought all the family money with me when I came out. Also, I left a sum of money for my father, Hongzhi and the others."

"Give 100 taels to my father, 100 taels to red sticks, and 20 taels to everyone else, and none of them are left behind." Cheng Ge thought about it and said, "I didn't give them the food. We'll wait until you decide not to come back."

"Huh?" Xu Nuo was taken aback, and asked, "You don't want to go back?"

"No." Cheng Ge glanced at him and said, "It depends on your decision, we will be where you want, and everything is up to you."

"Oh." The corners of Xu Nuo's mouth curled, and he said, "I haven't thought about this yet, I'll talk about it later."

He was quite satisfied with Cheng Ge's words, which meant that everything was based on him.

"Let's go quickly." After Xu Nuo finished his meal, Cheng Ge said that he was still in place and had not been on his way. "If the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, we will be trapped here."

"It's okay." Cheng Ge refused to let him go out, "I will definitely take you to the capital, and you can rest assured inside."

Cheng Ge went out to drive the car, Xu Nuo looked out the window, the sky and the earth were covered with white everywhere, covering up other colors, showing how heavy the snow was.

It didn't stop even now, the snowflakes like goose feathers were scattered, and the snow on the ground was more than a foot, and the trees on both sides of the cliff were covered with a layer of frost, as if they were in a world of ice and snow.

When Xu Nuo saw this picture, he suddenly thought of the modern age. At this time, he should play skiing, but the ancient times could only suffer from it. This is the most basic difference between the two worlds.

Just like he is now, he is frightened when he travels alone.But after Cheng Ge found him, it seemed that all his troubles had been resolved, and the snowstorm was not a problem at all.

The fact is the same, Xu Nuo wanted to change Cheng Ge several times to come in to keep warm, but he refused, and even reached out to Xu Nuo to touch to see if he was not cold.

The warm and thick palms give people a sense of strength, as if they can grasp everything, which is inexplicably reassuring.

Three days later, they finally came out of the mountains.Although it was difficult to travel all the way, under the continuous heavy snow attack, the snow was already knee-deep, but a horse and a green mule were still able to move forward slowly.

As soon as they walked out of the mountains, Xu promised that they couldn't stay any longer, and came out to sit beside Cheng Ge, "When will this snow stop, and if it continues like this, isn't it a snow disaster?"

"Yeah." Cheng Ge nodded, stretched out his hand to gather his clothes together and said, "Now it's considered a snow disaster. It hasn't stopped for three days. If it continues, I really don't know what will happen."

"I heard that it takes five or six days to go out of the mountains, what should we do?" Xu Nuo frowned a little worried.

Cheng Ge glanced at him with a smile and said: "It's okay, we will walk slowly and we will always reach the capital."

"Yeah." Hearing his understatement, Xu Nuo couldn't help nodding. What is Cheng Ge afraid of?Anyway, no matter where they are together.

The snow has been falling as if tireless, and I don’t know how much inconvenience they have caused people to fly all over the sky, but I still enjoy decorating this winter.

Promise that they didn't see many pedestrians along the way, and occasionally some merchants walked with difficulty.

Merchant!It seems that the future of wealth and wealth is bright, but who knows the hardships and dangers involved, promises to face the difficulty of life again.

"We've arrived in Kyoto." Cheng Ge pointed to the majestic city wall in front of him, "This is the east gate, go in and go south, and you'll arrive at Zhou's house in about an hour."

"Yo!" Xu Nuo exclaimed, "As expected of Kyoto, it is much taller and mightier than the towns we passed along the way. Thinking about it, it should be so. This is the capital of a dynasty."

Their journey of five or six days was hindered by the heavy snow, and they arrived after ten days of walking.As for the snow that stopped two days ago, if it doesn't stop, there is really no way to go on this road.

They entered through the east gate, Xu Nuo looked curiously at the Dongcheng District, which is said to be the gathering place of the highest power center in Kyoto, with tall buildings, avenues and spacious roads, giving off a cool and quiet atmosphere.

The red bricks and green tiles stand tall on the high walls, and the stone lion town houses with painted gates all reflect the difference between this place and other places.Regulations were emphasized in ancient times, Xu Nuo didn't know much about them, but as far as the exterior and floor area of ​​these houses are concerned, they are not comparable to other places.

"Get lost." Suddenly there was a noise coming from a door, "If you come over later, your legs will be broken, get out of here."

One of the servants pushed and shouted at a young man all the way. When he was almost in the middle of the road, one of them pushed the young man down so hard that the food box in his hand fell to the ground, and the pastries inside rolled out.

"I don't care what your status is, just use this thing to grab it." The servant looked down at the young man who fell on the ground, and said contemptuously, "You can climb our Zhao manor, it's wishful thinking."

The young man was maliciously pushed all the way by the servant, his clothes were messed up, and at this moment he was pushed to the ground again, unable to get up for a while, struggling hard on the snow-covered road.

Looking at this scene, Xu Nuo was extremely annoyed at this servant. As the saying goes, even an evil slave is so arrogant and domineering in front of the prime minister's door.

Suddenly, Cheng Ge patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's Zhou Yuyi."

"What!" Xu Nuo was shocked, his eyes were fixed on the evil slave, and he didn't look carefully at the bullied boy, "Is it Brother Yi?"

Xu Nuo took a closer look, if it was Zhou Yuyi or someone else. "Brother Yi, why are you?" Xu Nuo helped him up and asked angrily, "How could you be bullied like this?"

Zhou Yuyi couldn't believe his eyes, he opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Nuodi, yes, it's you."

Zhou Yuyi wiped away the tears from his eyes vigorously, then looked carefully at Xu Nuo and said in surprise, "Nuodi, it's really you, it's really great!"

As he said that, he hugged Xu Nuo, happy and ashamed at the same time, trying to hide his embarrassment, trying to suppress his emotions and said: "I really didn't expect you to come, I thought the chance of our meeting again was slim."

"Hi!" Xu Nuo said with a smile: "If you want to see it, you can see it anyway, like the snow that is so heavy now, I won't come, it's just that the road is difficult to walk slowly."

"Yo!" The servant saw them chatting and laughing as if no one else was around, and shouted with an ugly face: "What a brother and brother! It's just that you are reminiscing about the past or complaining, don't stay in front of our Zhao residence, this is not a place for you to stay."

"Damn." Xu Nuo was irritated by him, "What about your Zhao Mansion, the Zhao Mansion is within the gate, when will the road where people come and go outside belong to your Zhao Mansion?"

"Also, you are just a servant, what face do you have to say arrogantly about our Zhao Mansion, is this Zhao Mansion your decision, or does it belong to you?"

"It's really a dog's eyes that see people as inferior. No matter how poor we are, it's not like you, a prostitute, can look down on us. You can beat, scold, or humiliate us."

"I don't even know what my identity is, and I keep telling others to remember my identity. Could it be that the Zhao family is superior, and even a doorman is superior to others, and can do whatever they want?"

Xu Nuo was furiously confronting the servant when the gate of the Zhao Mansion opened suddenly, and a group of people came out, including Zhao Wenhao.

"Zhao Wenhao." Xu Nuo had sharp eyes and saw him immediately, "Come here."

"We helped you, and we never thought of asking you for something in return, let alone asking you for anything, but asking you to help take care of a friend is the result of your own long-awaited desire."

Xu Nuo was so angry that his fingers trembled a little. He pointed at Zhao Wenhao and said, "But how did you do it? Let the gatekeeper beat, scold and humiliate you. Is this the gratitude you said, and what you paid back?"

"Presumptuous." Before Zhao Wenhao could speak, a beautiful woman next to him scolded: "It's just a small commoner who dares to behave wildly in front of our Zhao Mansion, and even utters nonsense. Come here, give them a slap, and send them off." Go to Jingzhao Mansion for severe punishment."

"Mother." Zhao Wenhao said: "They are my friends, there may be some misunderstandings."

"What misunderstanding?" The beautiful woman's eyebrows were sharp. "How can this kind of person be your friend? He just wants to cling to you and have a relationship with you because of your kindness, so as to seek some benefits."

After she finished speaking, she looked at them with disdain and promised them, "It's just a little pariah, it's just wishful thinking. Today is for your ignorance's sake, I don't care about you, but don't come to pester you again, or I will interrupt you Legs, send them to Jingzhao Mansion for a lifetime."

"Why are you still standing there?" A man who looked like a housekeeper shouted, "We women are kind, we pity you for your ignorance, why don't you hurry up and say thank you and leave."

"I'll fuck you to death." Xu Nuo was about to start scolding, but Zhou Yuyi pulled him back, choked up, and said, "Let's go, it's all my fault for letting you suffer from me."

"Let's go." Cheng Ge glanced at Zhao Wenhao indifferently, and said to Xu Nuo: "Get in the car, don't suffer from the wind and cold."

"Ah?" Xu Nuo was taken aback for a moment, and then saw Zhou Yuyi's face was pale and bloodless, and he was trembling all over, as if he couldn't bear it.

"Go, get in the car." Xu Nuo knew at a glance that he was ill again, and hurriedly helped him to the car.

"Brother Cheng." Seeing that they were going to leave, Zhao Wenhao didn't care about what to say to his mother, so he hurriedly called Cheng Ge and said, "My mother has a misunderstanding here, I will explain it clearly, and I will definitely come to the door to apologize for what happened today."

Cheng Ge glanced at them, and said with a sneer, "No need, we are a lowly people, we can't afford your Zhao Mansion, let alone your apology."

After finishing speaking, he walked away without looking back, his expression and decisive back made everyone in the Zhao Mansion feel as if they were the most dismissive ones.
