Shelter in the pastoral

The journey home from the old house was even more difficult. After arriving home, I went to the kitchen to warm up the fire before returning to the house.

Liu Yechen was probably bored, so he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.When Fang Shujing returned to the room, he fell asleep.Seeing him makes me feel better.I looked at the side for a while and saw that the daughter-in-law was sleeping too familiarly, so I went to add a handful of firewood, so that the room would cool down later!

Looking at the snow outside, I don't know when it will end.

Anyway, I had nothing to do, so I went to the desk and drew the drawings of the beds, dressers, screens and cabinets, and added many small details inside, making it look more exquisite.

Fang Shujing's aesthetics is very good, and the things he draws are elegant and elegant, no matter where they are placed, they will look good.

As long as you give it to Father Fang, they can see the details inside at a glance, and they can restore it according to the drawings.

Ying Ying Zhuo Zhuo, as if there was someone knocking on the door.

Fang Shujing came out of the study immediately, but Xu Quan also heard voices coming out of the room, and Ah Huang yelled a few times aggressively.

"Who is it?" Xu Quan said.

"Open the door, it's me." The friend's voice came out.

Immediately, the door was called, Lin Yuchen's cheeks were flushed, and Fang Shujing rushed to welcome him in.

He fed their carriage with a handful of grain and led it into the yard.

Lin Yuchen and his servant didn't know how long they had been walking outside.

Fang Shujing quickly let him into the house.Said: "Xu Quan, go and cook some ginger soup to get rid of the cold, and bring two braziers."

The two of them had never encountered such a cold winter before, they were so frozen that they could not speak and shivered in the room.

Xu Quan quickly brought the ginger soup over and poured it in one gulp while it was hot.The spicy and fiery ginger soup flowed from the mouth to the stomach at once, and the long-lost warm feeling was transmitted from the stomach to the limbs and bones.Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, as if he had come alive.

The clothes on their bodies were invaded by the wind and snow, and after entering the house, they turned into water again, and the clothes all over their bodies were wet and colder.

Fang Shujing found a piece of his dry and thick clothes.Xu Quan asked Xu Quan to find him the clothes of the valet, and changed the clothes to warm himself by the fire.

After tossing and tossing, although Lin Yuchen was still shivering from the cold, he recovered a little bit.

Fang Shujing said: "Why did you come here?"

Lin Yuchen said: "Isn't it Chinese New Year? I want to give New Year's gifts to my aunts and uncles. In the past, my father and I went together. This year, I went by myself. Who would have thought that it would start to snow heavily. I wondered I went home, but who knew that the snow was getting heavier and heavier. Before I arrived at the county, I happened to pass by your village, so I hurried over to warm up." In this kind of weather, people who are exhausted are afraid of freezing to death on the road.

Fang Shujing said: "Let's celebrate the New Year here. The roads to the county town are all blocked by heavy snow and it's not easy to go." Don't talk about going to the county town, even a village closes its doors to each other and doesn't go out.

Lin Yuchen said: "Let's stay here for one night today, and if the heavy snow stops tomorrow, I will go back." After all, next year is Chinese New Year, and the whole family needs to be together, but if the heavy snow doesn't stop, he won't be able to leave up.

There are quite a lot of empty rooms in the yard they entered.Ask Xu Quan to tidy up two rooms and come out, and take the braziers in the hall respectively.

He found two new cotton quilts. Lin Yuchen hugged the quilts and wrapped himself tightly before showing his head. It was so comfortable to be wrapped in this warmth. No one knew what he was doing these days. How did it go.His aunt lives in another county, and the carriage takes more than two days.On the return journey, it was snowing heavily, Lin Yuchen's master and servant did not dare to sleep, for fear that they would not be able to wake up after falling asleep.

Without blinking.As long as there is an inn on the road that can provide hot water, but at the end of the year, some shops have been closed long ago.

Seeing that he was about to reach the county seat, he couldn't hold on any longer. He was sleepy, hungry and cold, not to mention how uncomfortable he had to spare a short distance to Fang Shujing's house, which was closer.

Fang Shujing went to Shanlin Academy to study, and the two never got to meet each other. They had a lot to talk about when they met, but they fell asleep with drooping eyelids, and so did his servant.

When Fang Shujing was here, Liu Yechen also woke up and looked for him. He was wearing thick clothes, and when he came in, he saw his husband-in-law!

Fang Shujing said: "He passed by our house to get warm, but it didn't look good after being outside for several days. Is there any medicine to prevent wind and cold?"

"Yes." Liu Yechen was going to the second courtyard.

But no one lived there and there was no kang, and the house was cold and gloomy.Fang Shujing said: "Don't go, I'll get whatever you want!" He was with me when I ordered the cabinet, so he probably knows where everything is.

Liu Yechen talked about some herbs.

After Fang Shujing wrote it down, he drove him to the house or the hall to wait for him.

As soon as I entered, I felt the bone-chilling chill in the room, and I was secretly glad that I didn't let my wife come.

He didn't like to stay still, quickly found the medicinal materials inside, grabbed a pair, and came out as quickly as possible.I felt that the house that was not lit was about to freeze, so I came out and started to boil medicine.

Soon the thick medicinal soup was brewed, and the family was filled with a strong bitter taste.He poured out two bowls and poured them back into Lin Yuchen and his servants.He also listened to Liu Yechen's instructions and covered him with two more layers of quilt to make him sweat, otherwise the cold air entering his body would cause the root cause of the disease in the future.

It was also fortunate that they came in time, and they kept warm and administered medicine. Fortunately, they didn't have a fever, maybe they were really sleepy.After all, not everyone can survive without sleep!It's as if I can't wake up when I get on the bed.In the evening, they stewed meat and called them, but they didn't wake up. If they hadn't been sleeping soundly, they would have thought something was wrong!

In the end, it was Fang Shujing who let it go: "It's fine if you can't wake up."

He told Xu Quan to keep an eye on them in the middle of the night and left food for them. If they are hungry, they can eat directly, but this is unnecessary worry.They didn't wake up all night!

It was almost noon the next day when they woke up, their faces glowing red, not at all like walking on the verge of fever yesterday.Although they fell into a semi-comatose and semi-sleeping state, they still vaguely remembered the appearance of being drugged.When I got up in the morning, I saw Fang Shujing and said, "Thank you very much."

Everything else is fine, but I have chilblains on my hands and feet.Every room in Fang Shujing's house was very warm, but his hands and feet began to itch.

Fang Shujing said: "Why are you polite?" Then seeing him scratching his hands, he wished to scratch them to pieces.

Fang Shujing said: "Wait a minute, I'll get some chilblain ointment!"

When Lin Yuchen heard this, he was overjoyed, and said, "Your family has everything." Generally, other people don't have such a complete set of things.

Fang Shujing said: "My wife is a doctor."

Lin Yu said in a deep voice, "Then thank you, Mrs. Sister-in-law."

Fang Shujing took out the chilblain ointment, and he applied it on his hands and feet first.Sure enough, a cool feeling relieved the itching, and I felt much more comfortable all of a sudden!

Lin Yu said in a deep voice, "Is it still snowing outside?"

"Ah."

Lin Yushen said: "Then I can only bother you." He sighed in his heart: "Thanks to your family being here, otherwise I would freeze to death on the road. This year's New Year's gift is not good this year, and I plan to advance half a year in the coming year." months to go.

Fang Shujing said: "Why are you being polite?"

Liu Yechen also knew that Lin Yuchen was his father-in-law's younger brother, and said, "I just cooked casserole meat and stewed frozen tofu, you are hungry."

Lin Yuchen was a little embarrassed, and it was a total inconvenience to come here by himself.Said: "I can just take a bite, I can eat anything."

Fang Shujing put his arms around his daughter-in-law, and said, "You are too embarrassing, I don't even want my wife to cook at home."

Lin Yu said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law still loves me."

It is very refreshing to eat casserole in winter, and you can eat it around a small stove.After the steaming meat and tofu are eaten, you can also rinse some cabbage or something, which absorbs oil and relieves greasy.

Fearing that his daughter-in-law would lose her appetite, Fang Shujing went to the small kitchen to make fried pork with chili.It was served full of chili peppers, just by smelling it, you knew how spicy it was, and it was placed next to Liu Yechen.

Seeing friends came to warm up two pots of wine.Fang Shujing and his wife, Lin Yuchen, also sat at the table, and Xu Quan also went to the table, but Lin Yuchen's accompanying servant didn't dare, and insisted on grabbing some food and squatting on the ground to eat.

Fang Shujing said: "There are no outsiders here, so let's eat here."

Lin Yuchen also said: "Come and eat."

With the young master's words, the boy dared to come over and eat.

The casserole tofu made by Liu Yechen is very delicious, the meat is crispy, and the best thing is the frozen tofu.The fresh tofu bought by Aidoufufang is cut into pieces and frozen at home. The soup has absorbed enough meat. It tastes slightly hard, but it is delicious.

The more it is stewed, the more flavorful it will be.

Lin Yuchen, who runs a restaurant at home, is full of praise after eating this. The old tofu stew is really amazing.He also hasn't eaten a serious meal for several days, and now he has a full appetite when he meets Kewei.It's a joy to eat, and soon there will be nothing left on the dinner table.

I also ate several bowls of rice, and there seemed to be a bottomless pit in my stomach, and I was hungry no matter how much I ate.

He was a little embarrassed when he finished eating.

Those who came empty-handed did not eat less.

When Lin Yuchen put down his chopsticks, the casserole was empty, and Xu Quan stewed the cabbage that Mrs. Young had washed before.Cut a few slices of salty bacon to taste, the taste is still a must.

Lin Yuchen observed that Liu Yechen hadn't eaten anything except the plate of fried pork with chili on his face, and said, "Why don't you eat casserole."

"My daughter-in-law likes spicy food after she became pregnant." Fang Shujing answered for him.

Lin Yuchen heard it, and then raised a big smile: "Good thing, I didn't expect you to be a father. It's really one step ahead of me!" Then he thought of a good idea: "I want to be your child's godfather !"

Fang Shujing said: "Okay, but you should find a wife first, so that my baby won't laugh at his godfather for being a bachelor."

Lin Yu said in a deep voice, "Cut..."
