Huojing is a small fiery red spar, as big as the head of a little finger, crystal clear and beautiful.A small hole is punched in the middle, and it is braided with a special blue string, which can be hung on the chest.

On the carriage, Wei Ran opened the box at the instigation of the little fat man, only to see the blue velvet under the box, reflecting the beauty of the spar, making it even more dazzling.But the most surprising thing is that the moment the box was opened, the temperature inside the carriage rose a lot, even without the brazier inside the carriage, it was still very warm.There is a feeling of warmth like spring.

The three people in the carriage are all knowledgeable people, even the little fat man grew up with good things, and he has seen some better things with his parents and elders.

Wei Ran has rich clothes and fine food, even in the palace, has seen the queen and queen mother, and seen many good things, but such a miraculous thing, she opened her mouth in amazement, it is really too precious.

I'm afraid that even the emperor doesn't have such a good thing. This is a treasure that money can't buy.Why did you give it to me so easily.

Old man Wei is a bit jealous, why didn't Miss Xiaoxiao give the old man one, obviously she has been there so many times.What a eccentric girl.

"Ran'er, take good care of this pendant. It's such a treasure! It's the most suitable for you to wear in winter. It's also good. You won't feel uncomfortable in winter in the future." Mr. Wei is still very happy, this is also a gift I also know that they are all young girls, and it must be my grandniece who has fallen into Miss Xiaoxiao's eyes.Otherwise, how could such a precious thing be given away so easily.

"Well, I will take good care of my uncle. I can go back to the capital next winter to visit my grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, and my elder brother."

"Yes, there is this thing, and I will send you back next winter before it snows, so that you can entertain your parents and enjoy the family together."

There is no child who does not want to be reunited with his relatives. He also hopes that this child can be reunited with relatives at home more often. Only when he sees him often can he act cute in front of his parents.It can also make the elders feel sorry for them.

This year is already the season of heavy snow, and it is not safe to go back at this time.No one would mention going to the capital at this time.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is summer again, the famine has already appeared, and the crops in the fields have reached the most important season, but the rotten seedlings and the dry fields, the experienced old farmers already know that What's the matter.In addition to crying, it is more about finding a way to remedy it, and there is only these things that everyone can do.

Mr. Chen had been reminded by Xiaoxiao, he had quietly bought a lot of food, and he had notified the people who were close to him one by one.It's up to them whether they listen or not, but in his brother's family, he forces them to buy it, regardless of whether they listen to it or not, not only buy but also buy more.Who knows when it will end.

Xiaoxiao also planted many things in the place where she set up her formation in the mountains, which can be used as her source of food in the future.I also hope that through these lies, some kind and worthy people can be helped.It can save a little bit.

The dazzling sun is like a large steel furnace, scorching the earth at close range, and people can get sunburned after walking out for a short while.

Whether it's inside or outside, it's unbearably hot. Wei Ran brought her maids to live in Chenjia Village early. Their small private yard is for the sake of the elderly and their parents not to be affected by the terrible weather. Roasting, arranged a constant temperature array for the family, and she didn't care about what was exposed or not, strength could overcome everything.As a cultivator, I don't do bad things here, so I am afraid of bad people and nobles.She also doesn't care about the thoughts of so many people, she just wants to make herself and her family feel more comfortable.

Xiaoxiao thought clearly overnight, and her mood has improved a lot. For her now, improving her mood is not an easy task.This time there is actually a lot of improvement.It is a big gain.

The grass on the side of the road did not have a trace of blue in the sun, and the withered yellow grass no longer had the strength to shake.The stones on the side of the road are also hot, and if you walk on them with bare feet, you will get huge blisters on the soles of your feet.

Folks who have always liked to walk barefoot, it is rare to wear shoes.I was not used to it at first, but thinking of the hot road, I really didn't have the courage to walk barefoot.

The people of Chenjia Village also started to stockpile food early under the reminder of the elders and heads of the clan.No children dared to go out to play during the day, and the weather was so hot that day.

When Xiaoxiao was fine, she stood on the mountain and looked at the distance. At this time, many refugees had already entered Fucheng and many places.

The county and the town are safe for the time being, but this tranquility is also an illusion. Some gangsters in the town have taken advantage of the situation and started to fish in troubled waters.Take the opportunity to fight everywhere.

The people on the road from Ancheng to Shanshui Town are all good, there are no bandits, only some low-level gangsters, so it is easy to manage.

Shanshui Town has been in a lot of depression recently. Many people in the town have started to confine their doors and no longer go out. Even the school is on vacation early.

"The weather is going to be so hot, what should I do? The seedlings in the field have all withered." Chen Laifu squatted beside the field and lamented anxiously. This is a fertile field that he bought last year. He has devoted too much energy to it. People don't care about the hot weather outside.With tears in his eyes, when he bought the fertile land, he had thought that he must cultivate these fields well.The family will depend on him from now on.The little girl can't always rely on her to hunt and earn money.

But this year's harvest is not good, and there may be no harvest in this field. He stretched out his hand and tore off a handful of rice grains, and pinched his fingers vigorously on the ears of rice. Few of them were full, and most of them were hollow.Even if it rains now, there is not much harvest.His hard work just went to waste.

Many people, like Chen Laifu, looked at the miserable scene in the field and cried loudly.No one wants the crops in the field to be like this.

Xiaoxiao knew that Chen Laifu was like this, but she didn't know what to say.She also did not warn in advance during the spring plowing.

Not only the people outside, but also the people in the village are desperate, they know that the famine has begun.

Chen Family

"Girl, it's a good thing we're living in Chen's house. It's already extremely hot outside."

"Well, the Chen family is very cool." Wei Ran also likes the atmosphere of the Chen family very much. The Chen family is simple and kind, and the Chen family is hospitable.At the beginning, it was agreed that I would rent a yard from the Chen family, and when I moved in, everything in the yard was tidied up.There is even a small kitchen, and the people I brought with me all said that the Chen family is very particular, and the vegetables in the Chen family's vegetable garden can be picked by themselves.They don't want money either.No matter what delicious food the Chen family eats, they will bring a lot to themselves.

Wei Ran likes living in Chen's house very much, going out for a walk when she has nothing to do, there are crazy running boys everywhere, and old farmers who work at sunrise and rest at sunset.There are also peasant women who like to gossip, everything is so harmonious and natural, and so lively.It is very different from everything she has been in contact with in the past. No one here reminds herself of the etiquette rules from time to time. Even Madam Hu likes it here.

"Ran Ran, come and see, my sister brought back something delicious." Pingping ran into Wei Ran's yard chattering.

"Sister Pingping, what kind of delicious food?"

"My sister said it was watermelon. It was picked from that blessed land. It must taste delicious. My grandfather went with him and picked it back in a basket." Pingping ran all the way over, her little face flushed.The Chen family is not hot, but still cool.

When Wei Ran heard that it came from that place, it must be a high-quality product. The girls read books together, learned to read together, and gave the place a nice name "Langyuan Fudi", which was the name Wei Ran wanted.Cuicui and Pingping also like this name.

Now Cuicui, Pingping, Xiaoxiao, and Wei Ran are studying together every day. They are all kinds of female gentlemen brought by the Wei family. There are embroiderers, poems and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. These are all things to learn, Madam Hu Mammy taught them all the etiquette and rules herself.However, various gentlemen have always judged Xiaoxiao as the most talented student, but she is also the laziest student.Often absent.

Xiaoxiao was ashamed when she heard this, and she knew her own situation. She was not born with great talent, but she had learned many lives. How could a cultivator with great spiritual knowledge not remember.

Wei Ran once took the maids and mothers up the mountain to see it, and knew that only Xiaoxiao could enter that place.Others can only stand outside and watch.

Wei Ran looked at Madam Hu earnestly when she heard the delicious food. Nanny Hu couldn't say no to the girl's pitiful eyes every time, so she nodded slightly and promised the girl to go.

Wei Ran has become much more lively than before recently. She has girlfriends of the same age and does not have heavy homework. Under Xiaoxiao's steady tongue, she learns the same thing every day, two hours a day.

The four-entry house is full of green trees and flower gardens. You can't see such a scene from the outside. There are big and small trees that are about to die in the sun.No matter which courtyard you walk to, there are exquisite corridors, each corridor extending in all directions, leading to another courtyard. This is Chen Guangyuan's design.

Xiaoxiao slumped on the big chair without any image, and Grandpa Chen sat on the side happily, "Laifu, you give two to Laixi's family, and one to your uncle and second uncle's family, and the rest Keep one for yourself. Put one in the well and eat it later. For everyone, take two and send them to Miss Wei’s yard.”

"Yes!" The couple answered in unison.

"Sister, why don't you sit down? When Miss Wei is coming, Madam Hu will probably come too." Chen Guangyuan kindly reminded his sister that he is not a person who has high requirements on etiquette, but my sister followed Madam Hu. Learning etiquette, Mammy Hu often nags with grandma and mother about her younger sister's lack of progress, so that whenever grandma and mother see Mammy Hu, they can't help but notice that her sister behaves well, otherwise they will be nagged by Nanny Hu again nagging.

"Oh, okay!" Xiaoxiao sat down reluctantly, so as not to be nagged.

In the hot weather, many people have already started to run out of food and water, the fields have not harvested, the river is drying up, and the green grass roots on the mountains are basically cleaned up as long as they are not poisonous.

Xiaoxiao's rescue journey has also begun. She has already piled up a lot of grain in her blue, which was bought with money obtained from bandits and profiteers a year ago. These grains are all prepared by her for now.

Xiaoxiao started to rescue from Ancheng, the farthest place, and closed the door to sleep at night when it was dark, and the defensive formation at home would also be activated.She doesn't rescue indiscriminately every time, she only helps people who have no food or are about to lose food, and she leaves a note by the way, all of which are to let the people who are rescued continue to find food by themselves. After all, I can't help for how long.She didn't want to raise a bunch of slobs because of herself.That is harmful to society.

Xiaoxiao's rescue was completed every night. She ran non-stop in every village and slum in every city every night. The note carefully stated that boys should not be favored over girls, although many people are illiterate. .Xiaoxiao still insists on this, and she will put up notices again at the entrances or alleys of every slum in every village, saying that boys are not to be favored over girls, boys are not allowed to eat, and girls are starved to death. If she gets rescued again, she will be troubled by "Chu Liuxiang".

Because of Xiaoxiao's rescue, the entire Ancheng to Shanshui Town is the most stable in the whole country. There are no bandits gathering, and not many refugees wandering outside. "Chu Liuxiang" is also famous for this reason.

In order for Chen Guangyuan to keep studying, all the major schools in Shanshui Town stopped studying.Grandpa Chen asked Mr. Wei to invite Xiang Jiping, a down-and-out man from Ancheng. Although his family was in decline, he was talented in writing, especially in stereotyped essays. Half of his body would suffer from problems. After repeating this several times, he didn’t have the heart to take the exam again. After returning to his hometown for the last time, he couldn’t afford to get sick. He has been sick for three years. Recently, the family has arrived to sell the house, but the house at this time is not available. Valuable, the most valuable is food.They can’t even eat enough, and who has the spare money to buy a house, but the Xiang family has nowhere to go. Xiang Jiping’s wife Ma Shi’s uncle is the shopkeeper of the Wei family’s silk and satin shop in Ancheng. Invite a talented scholar to teach at home.But he lives in the countryside, far away from Ancheng.

As soon as Uncle Ma heard that his niece and son-in-law could do it, his family had difficulty living in Ancheng recently, so it was better to go to the countryside to live, so as to save money and get a bundle of repairs.There is no way to be cheeky but to recommend it by yourself, but the Wei family will also investigate by themselves, and will not just listen to Zhao's own praise.

With the arrival of Xiang Jiping's family, Chen Guangyuan's study has entered a highly tense moment. He has no choice but to wait for the famine to pass and start the examination for talents. Stereotyped essays are the key.This must be studied hard. Although he was a doctoral student in the history department in his previous life, he has never studied stereotyped essays, but he has seen many models of stereotyped essays.The standard of stereotyped essays that can be used as a model for future generations is definitely not low, or even relatively high.Or will it be handed down.

Standing on the shoulders of giants, Chen Guangyuan learns faster than ordinary children, and he often compares what he does with the template in his mind to see where he is different.After going back and forth, he really found his own problem, and when he learned again, the speed was rapid.Xiang Jiping's health has also been recuperated very well in the Chen family, and he has no intention of leaving for the time being. Although he wants to continue taking the Chunwei exam, he will not go again in the past two years.One is that the outside is still very chaotic and it is not suitable to travel.Even Wei Ran, who was thinking about going back to the capital to reunite with her family before the snow fell last year, no longer mentioned it. If something happened on the way, her life would be ruined, and it would also affect the Wei family's reputation.Mrs. Chen, the eldest wife of the Wei family, also knew what her daughter was thinking, so she wrote to persuade her not to return to the capital.This is unacceptable to her.

Wei Ran knew it too, so she suppressed the desire in her heart and said nothing more.It's not that the mother doesn't love herself, it's that the world is difficult.She can only wait for the next return date.

In the past three years, Xiaoxiao often appeared at night, helping others or opening grain depots of traitorous merchants. No one knew about it.No one in Chenjia Village starved to death.There may be many people who are starved to death, but no one died of starvation, neither the elderly nor babies died of starvation.For three years, no matter what the outside world is like, from Ancheng to Chenjiacun, there have been no cases of starvation everywhere. It is considered to be a relatively stable area, and many victims of disasters have poured in from other places.They are all dragging their children and taking care of their daughters, from one family to another.The officials of the government did not dare to act recklessly because of Chu Liuxiang's existence. They could only hold in tears, gritted their teeth, and resettled the disaster victims who flowed into their jurisdiction.There is no way, whoever calls his own territory to be "Chu Liuxiang" is just a guy who is full and likes to meddle in other people's business.Didn't you see that many food merchants have their food confiscated by Chu Liuxiang?

If I do something about it, it is estimated that this head will also be confiscated, or the gold, silver, treasures and food at home will also be confiscated.I dare not challenge Chu Liuxiang's uncertain heart.

In the midst of hesitation, the people ushered in the fourth year of the famine. Everyone thought it was another famine year, but on the first day of the first lunar month, it began to rain heavily. The crazy people ignored the rain outside. I ran out, stood in the rain and cheered: "It's raining, it's raining." In the dry and cold weather, coupled with the rain, many people were dragged into the house by their families, but even so, everyone was very excited.

However, in the rain, everyone saw many rays of light descending in the distance. This ray of light is a gift from the Dao of Heaven to good people. As long as those who have done major benevolent deeds during this famine, they can all receive gifts from the Dao of Heaven because of someone.This ray of light means that all the good deeds you have done are recognized and recorded by the Dao of Heaven. Such a person will be first-class and good for the future luck and the next life, and can also bless future generations.

The heavy rain on the first day of the new year is also accompanied by a trace of aura, which is also a gift from heaven to this world.It will nourish all things for many years to come.Make this side of the world good weather and good harvests.

Because of the advent of many rays of sunshine, it is used as a fuss today, and Enke is therefore favored.This year, you can take the spring exam, autumn exam, and even county exams, government exams, and hospital exams.The time was also arranged.In the second year, there will be another Chunwei, which means that there will be Chunwei in the past two years.

Students and scholars from all over the country were excited. Xiang Jiping was not in a hurry to participate in this year's Spring Festival immediately, and was planning to participate in the next year's Spring Festival. This year was too rushed, and there was enough time to go to the capital, but his own preparation was not enough.

Chen Guangyuan also thought that he would at least pass the entrance examination for Tongsheng and Xiucai this year, and he also wanted to give it a try in the provincial examination. However, he has not said this idea yet. He just let his family know that he will take the county examination, government examination and courtyard examination. As for the rural examination, he will wait. Let's talk later.

He intensified his studies, turned on the lights every night, and studied hard. Even when he fell asleep, his dreams were all about learning.

He worked hard, and everyone saw it.But he also seized every opportunity to meet Wei Ran.His eyes became more and more intense.Wei Ran is no longer a three-year-old child. In ancient times, women matured earlier than men. She knew what Chen Guangyuan's fiery eyes meant, and she liked Chen Guangyuan very much, but she couldn't reveal this, she could only be silently shy.But if Chen Guangyuan can be admitted as a scholar this year, he and himself may have a little chance.

She has always buried these thoughts in her heart. Xiaoxiao has never stopped her fruit business in the past few years, and has been doing it again and again, but the price is higher. How can she still eat such tender and juicy fruits during such a severe drought? One more thing.The nobles in the capital rushed to buy them as if they didn't want money.The business of the fresh fruit shop is enviable even as a prince.

Many people have approached Princess Chang Min, hoping to get a share, but there are too many people, it is not good to agree to any one, there is no way, Princess Chang Min is not stupid, they can only find the emperor, of course the emperor is willing.In the past, it was the emperor's sister who didn't find him, so he couldn't say anything to the emperor's sister. This time, there is no reason why he didn't want to send money to the door. Although this fresh fruit shop is open for more than three months every year, the money earned by the business is very low. It's something that others can't earn for a few years, and you can have more money in your own small coffers, so why not do it.In order to demonstrate his own justice, the emperor deliberately took out a sum of money as capital.

With the emperor as a shareholder, no one dared to clamor for a shareholding, and no one dared to weaken the emperor's shares.No matter which Wei family it was, they all boarded the emperor's minibus.Especially the Wei family in Shanshui Town, they were very happy, but they kept their mouths shut, and they didn't dare to publicize it outside without the emperor's consent.But among the dignitaries in the capital, everyone knew the news.There is no need for publicity, people from other places do not know, it is only aimed at some wealthy businessmen who have no connections, and ordinary people.All the senior officials from other places knew about it, and they didn't dare to mess around with the Wei family's business.

The author has something to say: Xiaoxiao: Let's be more generous and send some good things.This thing is much older.
