In the ninth year of Xiyuan, the third day of the first lunar month.

The heavy snow that lasted for half a month finally stopped, and overnight, it seemed as if the sky had changed. The rising sun was shining brightly, and it was as warm as summer.

Everyone's faces were full of joy, there were many children having fun on the street, the common people dealt with the snow in front of and behind their houses, and the shops removed their door panels one after another, opened their doors and started doing business.

The smile on the shopkeeper's face did not disappear early in the morning. He sent around the store by a few guys, such as sweeping snow, buying, and cleaning. The guys all worked with smiles on their faces.

As soon as the sun came out, Xia Chen looked for an opportunity to take out his trumpet flowers and put them in the sun to dry. Brother Nan took two packed shortbread cakes for his uncle, and he still had one in his mouth. .

Seeing the trumpet flower beside the bed, Brother Nan ran over with staring eyes, stared at it for a while, and wondered: "Uncle, isn't this the potted flower at our house? Why are you here?"

Xia Chen didn't think about how to fool Brother Nan, so he simply put on the majesty of an elder and said calmly, "I brought it here."

"How to bring..."

"I brought it here in my luggage!" Xia Chen glared at him, "What are you doing so much? Are the cakes delicious?"

"Delicious." Brother Nan was immediately distracted, and gave Xia Chen the ones he was carrying in his arms: "I even brought you two, and they are still warm."

"I......"

"Master Xia, the hot water is here." Just as he was about to speak, a knock on the door suddenly interrupted his words.

"Wait a minute." Xia Chen stood up and opened the door. There were two waiters standing at the door, one carrying two buckets of clean water and the other carrying two large copper jugs.

This is to bring bath water. The city is closed due to heavy snow. In addition to lack of food, there is also a lack of firewood. The hot water in the inn is getting more and more expensive. Many people in Datongpu haven't showered for half a month.

Fortunately, the weather is cold. If it is summer, the smell alone can make people faint.

Xia Chen is not short of money, but he doesn't want to be a leader, he honestly follows the other guests who live in the middle room. The better thing is that he has a space. If he can't bear it anymore, he sneaks into the space to boil water and scrub , After washing, he found that there was still a lack of a bathtub in his space.

The only good thing is that on the day Zijian came to him, he had just gone to the space to clean himself, otherwise Xia Chen would be frightened by his brain supply when Zijian hugged him and he hadn't showered or washed his hair for more than ten days. arrive.

So after the snow stopped, Xia Chen asked for hot water immediately, and gave the clerk some money, so they boiled Xia Chen's bath water first and brought it over.

Brother Nan put down the pancakes and moved the bathtub that had been washed earlier to the back of the screen, and the staff mixed the water in. They had experience in doing this, and there was still half a pot of hot water left after mixing, and put it aside on the high on the stool.

Xia Chen stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, and when he thought it was ok, he gave another handful of copper coins and sent the guys away. Brother Nan helped him open the screen, and sat in front of the table and gnawed on pancakes.

This ghee cake is different from the steamed cakes sold in the inn. It is fried layer by layer until it becomes crispy. After taking a bite, it is delicious. After a few bites of my own, I moved at the two that Xia Chen hadn't touched yet. Heart.

"Uncle, do you want to eat your pancakes? If you don't eat them, they will be cold. If they are cold, they won't taste good. Why don't I eat them first, and then I'll buy you two hot ones."

"You can eat." Xia Chen soaked in the hot water and sighed comfortably: "After eating, go ask for two pots of hot water, and you can wash one after I finish washing."

"Can I go to the bathhouse to wash?" Brother Nan begged, "This small wooden bucket feels aggrieved."

There is a special bathhouse in the Imperial Capital, which is a bit like the old-fashioned bathhouse that Xia Chen knew in his previous life, except that there is no shower. Xia Chen took Brother Nan to see it, and was surrounded by a room full of naked buttocks and people who couldn't see the color clearly. The water in the pool was scared out.

But Brother Nan felt that it was rare, and always wanted to give it a try. He had never seen such a bathhouse in his hometown.

Xia Chen struggled for a while, but finally agreed: "Go, find a cleaner pool."

Brother Nan cheered, grabbed the cake and ran away, remembering to close the door for his uncle before leaving.

Only Xia Chen was left in the room, he poured hot water on his body, called Xia Tongpan, and whispered to himself, "I don't know what happened to Zijian..."

That day Zijian came to look for him, and only stayed for a short time before leaving. Before leaving, he asked Xia Chen to wait for him in his village before the sixth day of the lunar new year.

At that time, he was in a hurry, Xia Chen didn't have time to ask more questions, and before he finished speaking, Zi Jian jumped from the window, which shocked Xia Chen.

Later, he thought about it for himself, and thought that it was probably because his existence was known by Zijian's family, and they might arrest him to threaten Zijian, so in order not to hold back Zijian, he decided to do what Zijian said and clean up. Yiyi took Brother Nan to live in Zijian's Zhuangzi for a while.

Anyway, Zhuangzi is not far away, so it is very convenient to come back, that is, the room in the inn cannot be returned, otherwise it may be difficult to find a place to live at that time.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xia Tongpan suddenly said: [Congratulations to the host, the magic seed you planted has mutated. ]

Xia Chen was overwhelmed with surprises, speeded up the bathing speed, and immediately entered the space after washing.

He just planted the mutated magical seed today. Xia Chen was awakened by the noise early this morning, and heard someone outside saying that the snow had stopped.

He put on his clothes and ran out. Sure enough, he saw the first ray of sunlight shining from the distant sky. Huhu planted a magical seed in the snowy soil.

Unexpectedly, not long after, another mutated plant actually appeared.

The new seedlings are still immature, with green rhizomes and small leaf petals. Xia Chen looked at it for a while, but didn't see why, so he had to ignore it and went to the warehouse to get an apple. After washing it, he gnawed on the apple , while harvesting the crops in the field, and replacing them with new seeds.

Just after completing a set of daily procedures, Xia Tongban reminded him that someone was coming outside the door.

Xia Chen immediately left the space, and then there was a knock on the door: "Young Master Xia, someone is looking for you downstairs."

"Who?" His hair was still wet, and it was impolite to meet guests like this.

"I was with you when you came to open the room," said the man.

Xia Chen thought it should be Liu Si. They lived together for many years and didn't pay much attention to it, so he said to the man, "Please come up, I'll clean up."

Hastily cleaned up the house, the key point was to put away his morning glory, Brother Nan is so foolish, Liu Si is not an ordinary person.

Soon the clerk came up with Liu Si, he saw Xia Chen's wet hair, he just glanced at it, didn't say much, and straightly asked why he came after sitting down: "The old lady invites you to visit the mansion."

"Is there any happy event in the mansion?" Xia Chen asked doubtfully.

Liu Si explained, saying that the last time Xia Chen came to the door, the old lady was ill and did not see her. She planned to invite their brothers to the general's mansion for the New Year. Who would have thought that the road would be blocked by this heavy snow, and the old lady felt that they were being treated poorly. So I want to invite them to Fuchu for a meal.

Xia Chen quickly said it was okay, and Liu Si persuaded him that it was okay for Xia Chen to have a meal, so he asked what time it was.

"The day after tomorrow." Liu Si said.The sky had just cleared up, and there were many miscellaneous things in the general's mansion, so it was only postponed for two days.

Xia Chen did some calculations, the day after tomorrow is the fifth day of the lunar new year, which happens to be the last day that Zijian gave him. If he can't wait that day, he has to leave Beijing. If he waits, everything will be fine.

"Okay, I'll tell Brother Nan." Xia Chen agreed.The general's mansion invited lunch, and he could go back to pack up after eating, so he ordered a carriage first, and left early the next morning if Zijian couldn't wait.

After finishing his errands, Liu Si opened the basket he brought, and pushed it to Xia Chen with a smile.

Xia Chen saw that there were eggs painted red inside, and said pleasantly, "Uncle Liu, is there a happy event in your family?"

Liu Si couldn't hide a smile on his always serious face: "Well, that unworthy son of mine gave me a grandson."

When he left Beijing to protect Xia's family in Qingyang County, his son was only in his teens, and he couldn't go back after getting married. Fortunately, when he came back this time, he happened to be able to see the birth of his grandson.

"Congratulations to Fourth Uncle Liu." Xia Chen said sincerely.

Wang Wu and Liu Si were in their home, and they really taught his two nephews like elders. Xia Chen was thinking, why not let Liu Si stay in the imperial capital this time, anyway, it has been a long time since the rice seed offering, always It's not a problem to separate the family from the flesh and blood.

Thinking so in his heart, Xia Chen didn't say it out, and was going to discuss it with the manager of the General's Mansion when the time came, and then mention it to Liu Si when he had a definite answer.

Keeping this matter in mind, after Brother Nan came back, Xia Chen told him about Liu Si's visit, and decided to go shopping in the street in the next two days. Liu Si's family has a baby, they should also give a gift, especially Brother Nan and his apprentice.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the first lunar month, because Xia Chen and Brother Nan got up early because they were going to be a guest today, and when they went out for breakfast, they saw Wang Chen sitting in a corner with his eyes closed and reciting scriptures, and when he came back, he brought him two Veggie cake.

Speaking of which, in the past few days after the snow stopped, some guests of the inn moved out one after another. Some small businessmen who had bought their goods and were blocked in the imperial capital by the heavy snow, naturally hurried on the road after the snow stopped, and some found small courtyards that could be rented. Students who moved out.

Some people came in when they went out. This time should be the best time for the business of the Dijing Inn. There are still many students who have not been able to catch up. However, due to the heavy snow blocking the road, there are not many people who have arrived in these two days.

As for Master Wangchen and his disciples, they planned to leave after the snow stopped, but there was a family in the next street, their old lady was not in good health, because of the sudden heavy snow, they couldn't survive it all at once.

The family heard that there were several monks from Ling'an Temple in Dengyun Pavilion, so they invited them to do a religious ceremony, and the monks went, and then Wang Chen was sent back... It is said that it was because of that The daughter of the family looked at him a few more times, and the father felt that he was not very solemn as a monk...

It was wronged too, but Wangchen didn't seem to care at all, his master and his brothers stayed at the house to practice things, and they didn't worry about him leaving alone, so they let him continue to live in the inn for a few days.

They took over the ritual work, at least they had some money, so they stopped asking Xia Chen to pay Wangchen the room fee, and Wangchen moved into a vacant servant's room, and the shopkeeper gave him a cheaper price.

The room next door was vacant again, and the shopkeeper asked Xia Chen if he could live there. Xia Chen thought about it, and felt that he was not short of the money, and it would be better if he could live alone, so he continued to pay the rent.

Xia Chen and Brother Nan came back after breakfast, and gave him the plain cake they had brought to Wang Chen. Wang Chen knew the two of them very well, so he took it with a smile and thanked him softly.

In the middle of the morning, the General's Mansion sent someone to pick it up, and Xia Chen and Brother Nan got into the carriage with the gifts they had prepared.

This time I finally met the old lady. She is the mother of General Fu, a very kind-hearted old lady. She took Xia Chen and Nan Ge'er by the hand and said that they were good children, and asked Xia Chen to call her grandma, Nan Ge'er. Call her great-grandmother.

Xia Chen's father recognized it, and he didn't care about calling it. It's good to make the old man happy. After he and Nan Ge'er finished calling, the old lady was really happy, and gave them a gift. Nan Ge'er is a piece of jade pendant of excellent quality , Xia Chen is a safety button.

"Put it on, put it on well, the third child recognizes you, and you are a child of my Fu family." General Fu said three times, the old lady watched Xia Chen put the safety buckle on, and then she showed a satisfied smile.

After talking for a while, the old lady went to rest when she was exhausted. Xia Chen and Brother Nan went to find Liu Si and gave him the longevity lock bought for his grandson.

Liu Si locked his longevity to his daughter-in-law and asked her to keep it safe. La Xiachen and Brother Nan went aside to talk, and asked what the old lady said when they met the old lady.

Brother Nan spoke quickly, showing the jade pendant to Liu Si, and said that what the old lady gave Xia Chen was a safety buckle.

Liu Si was startled, then looked at Xia Chen with a little more respect.

Xia Chen knew the story at a glance, and asked Liu Si about the source of the safety button. Liu Si was an old man in the house and knew many things about the Fu family. After thinking about it, the old lady had given them all, so he told Xia Chen.

It turned out that the ancestors of the Fu family got a whole piece of high-quality jade and asked the craftsmen to make it. Because the jade was big enough, they made eighteen of them in one go. Each of the men of the Fu family had one.

When the Ping'an buckle was first made, there were 11 men in that generation of Fu's family, and the remaining seven remained in the hands of Mrs. Fu at that time.

"Master Chen has this, it should be left by the uncle." Liu Si changed his name, the uncle is General Fu's elder brother, and he told them after carefully looking at the safety buckle.

Xia Chen stroked the safety button and remained silent. There was blood in the jade, he thought it was the original texture, but now that he thought about it, it might be soaked in the blood of the ancestors of the Fu family.

Brother Nan was shallow-minded and didn't think too much about it. He looked at Xia Chen's safety buckle and asked curiously, "Master, how can you tell whose it belongs to? There is no mark."

Liu Si said: "The old lady only has two safe buckles left in her hands, one belongs to Qing Shao, and the other is left by the uncle."

"Aren't there eighteen? Why are there only two yuan left? And who is Qing Shao?"

"Shut up!" Xia Chen wished to shut him up. There were only two yuan left, so naturally he couldn't find the rest. All the men of the Fu family died on the battlefield, so the safety buckle became less and less popular.

Brother Nan shrank his neck, not understanding why his uncle was so angry all of a sudden. Liu Si also remained silent and didn't answer. After a while, he said to Xia Chen: "I slipped the tongue today. In the future, you will be in contact with people in the house. Especially when you see the old lady, don't mention Qing Shao."

Xia Chen also became curious. With Liu Si's name, this Qing Shao should be from his generation, but isn't there only Fu Yan and Fu Zhan left in the Fu family?Is this Qing Shao an illegitimate child?No, there is no such saying at this time, even if he is a bastard, given the frail state of the Fu family, would he still deny it?

The author has something to say: Regarding the sub-cp, I will only talk about the last time, neither black nor clean, develop according to the plot, if there is a large-scale emotional drama, it will be marked in the title, there will be no such drama in the short term, Fu Zhan will go online later, the above .

Don't be afraid to release zombies in the next chapter.
