dream warm snow fragrance

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

As the most affluent place in the Celestial Dynasty, Yunzhou is the granary of the Celestial Dynasty. There are so many big rivers, small rivers, large lakes and small ponds here. Therefore, the people here are also most afraid of flooding.

On the day when the dragon raises its head, people eat pancakes and fried soybeans, so that it can rain and moisten the earth, but it will not cause floods.

And Min Xiang's family was born in the capital, and they wanted to cut off the uncut fetal hair of the six-year-old child on this day.

So, on this day, the Min family got up early in the morning and started a busy day.

Yunzhou is considered to be in the south, and winter is not as cold as the capital city. This winter, there was even a small amount of snow, which melted as soon as it fell into the water. There is no such thing as heavy snow covering the ground in winter when we were in the capital city. The spectacular scene, and there will be no scene of the small river being frozen on the river and people in the capital digging ice on the river.

But this affluent water town in the south also has a beauty and softness that cannot be seen in the capital.

It was not until February [-] that the land in the north began to recover, while the south was already a scene of colorful and busy farming.

February [-] is just around the time of the Waking of Insects. At this time, all kinds of fruit trees in this land are blooming, peach trees, plum trees, orange trees, pear trees, apricot trees, cherry trees...

Pink, white, bright red, bright red...

All kinds of colors come to compete with each other, dressing up this piece of land into a charming and moving appearance.

The paddy fields are full of water, and the paddy fields are like huge mirrors, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, the mulberry elms near the green hills in the distance, as well as the white walls and green tiles...

The farmers are all busy plowing the fields. It is only early in the morning, before the sun comes out, and they are driving the plowing buffaloes to the fields with their trousers on their legs. Occasionally, small fish that have spent the winter in the fields will jump out of the water. , with a splash of water.

The Min family fled to Yunzhou from the capital, and did not use the bank note sent by King Qi. There was a ticket number on the bank note. Min Xiang was afraid that if he used it, his family's whereabouts would be revealed, so when he arrived in Yunzhou, he went to the largest bank. Before the Wu family collapsed, they left a lot of things for him. There was a large sum of money left for him in the bank, which was kept separately, so that he could live comfortably for several lifetimes. The money will be traced to the point where I didn’t dare to take it out and use it. Now I can’t live anymore, so I have to go to take it out. Only when I took it out did I find that there was no problem.

Min Xiang took the token to withdraw the money, and bought a house in Xinyan Town, a suburb of Yunzhou, where the family lived.

Yunzhou City is one of the most prosperous and prosperous cities in China, with a population of more than one million. At that time, few cities could reach this number.

The city's business is prosperous, it is located in the north-south traffic artery, the waterway is well developed, the city has a large population, and there are many religions and cultures. Min's family is here, and Min Xiang expects that they will not be easy to find.

As a commercial hub, Yunzhou City connects the north and the south, and is also a transit point for many official and private salt. The richest salt merchants here are salt merchants. Especially in recent years, private salt has not been controlled, and salt merchants have even released Well, Xinyan Town is just beside Yunzhou City. It is the place where many nobles and rich people in Yunzhou City built summer resorts. It is very convenient to be close to Yunzhou City, and it is much cooler than in the city in summer.

Of course, in addition to these rich people's summer resorts, there are also farms here, where farmers live.

It is a beautiful and prosperous place.

Min's house is at the foot of Qingyu Mountain behind Xinyan Town. Qingyu Mountain, as the name suggests, is green all year round. Pines and cypresses are planted all over the mountain, and there are ancient temples hidden in it. A sight to behold.

The house of the Min family is naturally not comparable to the summer resorts of those big salt merchants and officials. It is just a house with two entrances, not even a garden. On the tail, it has always been quiet, and there are few neighbors.

Early in the morning, although the weather has turned warm, it is still a bit cold in the morning.

Xiao Ru'er went to bed early and woke up early, his father was still asleep, and he would move around him when he woke up, Min Xiang was disturbed by him, so he had to open his eyes, lift a bit of the bed curtain and peek out from the window. Looking at the sky outside, through a layer of window paper, I can see that there is not enough light outside, the light in the room is dim, and the imperial concubine's couch opposite the bed can't be seen clearly.

The chickens of the farmer's house not far away near the farm are crowing, so it shouldn't be too late.

He turned over, patted his son's back lightly, and was about to fall asleep again, he was weak and afraid of the cold, this warm bed, as small as a child's fire, was just right for sleeping.

Xiao Ru'er didn't want his father to continue to sleep, and said in a soft and waxy voice, "Daddy, the rooster crowed, and it was dawn. Mammy said that today I will boil the water and cut my hair, and I will make pancakes. She also bought beans Fried beans to eat, Daddy, let's get up, or it will be too late."

When I came here, because there was almost nothing when I first moved in, the house was busy, Aunt Gu was getting old, and he and Min Changqing didn't know how to do anything, so the family bought a maid and hired a long-term worker, Min Xiang said at this time , "Let's sleep for a while, your grandma hasn't asked Guizi to call us yet."

Xiao Ru'er was unhappy, "Daddy, let me get up, I can dress myself."

Min Xiang couldn't help him at all, so he grabbed him under the quilt on the bed and said, "You just think about eating the pancakes and fried beans. You usually eat what you lose, don't you?"

Xiao Ru'er pouted, "I want to cut my hair today."

As he said that, he writhed back and forth in the bed again. Min Xiang had nothing to do with him, so he had to get up.

There was a footstove not far from the bed. If other people's houses didn't use this thing in this season, Min Xiang couldn't use it for fear of cooling.

The charcoal was buried in ashes inside the foot stove, and a trace of fire came up, and his and Xiao Ru'er's underwear were put on the smoke cage, and dried oranges were added to the foot stove for incense, and the underwear was taken away. When he got up, the underwear was warm with a hint of orange fragrance. He saw that Xiao Ru'er had sat up from the quilt and was wearing pajamas. He was afraid that Xiao Ru'er would be cold, so he quickly put on clothes for Xiao Ru'er.

Xiao Ru'er obediently took off his pajamas, stretched out his hand to ask Min Xiang to put on his underwear, and even tied the belt by himself. In order to let him do things by himself, Min Xiang didn't help him tie the belt. The same warm silk trousers he was wearing inside were brought over, quickly took off Xiao Ru'er's trousers and put the silk trousers on, Xiao Ru'er cooperated very well with herself, at this time she had already fastened her belt, and asked Min Xiang checked, Min Xiang looked at it, and thought it was ok, so he took a jacket and put it on Xiao Ru'er, put on two clothes outside, put on cotton trousers, and put socks on for him, Xiao Ru'er Seeing that he was completely tidied up, he climbed out of the bed, sat on the pedals to put on his shoes, and went to the dressing table to get a comb to pull his hair. He felt his softness. She turned to look at Min Xiang, who had already dressed herself neatly, brushed her hair, and walked up to Xiao Ru'er, hugging him on the chair. Sit down, comb his hair, want to make it into a bun, the red brocade ribbon is already in his hand, but Xiao Ru'er said, "Daddy, I still have my hair cut today, so I don't need to tie it up."

Min Xiang is not used to combing his hair for others or himself, so he thought it made sense when he heard what Xiao Ru'er said, and just saved his time, so he just tied it up for him, maybe it was when Xiao Ru'er was pregnant. His mother has not received good care, and Xiao Ru'er's hair is not very black, with a little chestnut color, and I don't know if it will get better if it grows out after it is cut.

Xiao Ru'er was still sitting on the chair, so Min Xiang combed his hair with a comb. The light in the room was still only dim. The mirror was bright and clear, reflecting his and Xiao Ru'er's faces.

Min Xiang stared inside, feeling a little dazed. He still remembered how obediently he was sitting in front of the dressing table when he was a child. Several maids and nurses surrounded him, helping him comb his hair, wipe his face, serve him to rinse his mouth, and wipe his face. Lipstick, Lipstick...

He turned his head and looked around, there were no maids and mothers, and this house was not the elegant mansion of the Wu family, nor the gorgeous and exquisite palace of his aunt's palace.

Already the vicissitudes of life have changed, and it is heaven and earth.

He took a long breath, then quickly combed his hair, tied a knot with a brocade rope in front of his chest, and said to Xiao Ru'er, "Let's go, go scoop up water and wash your face."

Xiao Ru'er chuckled, climbed down from the chair, took her father's hand and went out.

Going out from the bedroom, there is a compartment outside, which is now used as a reception room, and the main house is outside, and Min Changqing lives on the opposite side.

Min Xiang led Xiao Ru'er out, and found that the door of the main room was half open, and the cold air was coming in. He sneezed instantly, and Xiao Ru'er happily let go of his hand, turned out the The threshold is out.

Min Xiang opened the door on the other side, looked up and met Min Changqing's eyes, Min Changqing was standing outside, under the wide eaves, he was about to walk into the yard, when he knew he came out, he stopped and looked back at him.

Min Xiang smiled at him and said, "What time is it? The weather looks good today."

Although the sun hadn't risen yet, the sky was already cloudless.

The yard was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, and the air was cold.

Min Changqing said, "The clock on the first quarter of the day has not struck yet, and the weather will indeed be very good today."

Said, walked to Min Xiang, looked at him with full eyes, "Brother, let me tie up your hair for you."

Min Xiang looked into his autumnal eyes and quickly refused, "Xiao Ru'er pressed my hair under his body last night when he slept, and it made my scalp hurt. Now I just want to relax like this."

Min Changqing looked at his hair, which was black and smooth like brocade, and wanted to reach out to touch it, but Min Xiang had already taken a step to the side, and Min Changqing said, "Let me rub it for you."

Min Xiang said, "Forget it, get Xiao Ru'er to wash up, otherwise he won't know how to wash his face."

Min Changqing stood there, watching that Min Xiang had taken Xiao Ru'er to the kitchen. There was already a fire in the kitchen, and Guizi was boiling water and starting to prepare breakfast.

Min Changqing's expression was slightly gloomy, he stared at Min Xiang's back for a while, and then followed him.
