Chapter 84: Rain and snow

In the early winter of Beijing Normal University, while the south was still drizzling, it was already snowing in Beijing. Today, the winter solstice, snow covered the whole city, the sky was white and the air was refreshingly cold. With only one breath, the whole cavity seemed to be frozen.
Xia Houyu let go of him and walked side by side with a group of brothers. They got on the horse and disappeared into the snow in a blink of an eye. Xia Houyi walked home on foot. In fact, he also had a horse. He sent him a good Mongolian horse. However, he did not have a child every month until the end of the month. He could only buy horsegrass. He could not afford a saddle. He was embarrassed to say that he had to let the horse stay at home for a long time.
Snow and ice hit his face, the wind knife poked into the collar. Xia Houyi walked while rubbing his hands, thinking of Shen Yi.
Towards the end of the year, Shen Yan was so busy he barely touched the ground. The Ministry of the Ministry planned, sacrificed sacrifices to the heavens, and the feast of the Xiandian Fengxian Palace, all asked him to ask questions. For nearly half a month, Shen Zhen has stayed in the palace, and Xia Houzhen rarely saw him once. I have lived for more than twenty-four years. This year, the twelfth year of the twelfth year of the twelfth year of the twelfth lunar month, Xia Hou tasted the acacia for the first time. He went to Lianxiang every day to narrate the rice, in fact, he wanted to try his luck to see if he could see Shen Yan, and then met one time. The guy stayed without a cup of tea and said to him, "Good. Don't mess with it ", and went back to the palace.
Walking halfway, I glimpsed a wine shop. Xia Houyu wanted to go in and make two pots of wine. A carriage drove over and stopped beside him. A plain white horse, a light was picked up from the carriage, blocking the gradual darkness, revealing a small, clear light. Sitting on the long side of the bus, Shen Wenxing beckoned to him, Shen Yan opened the curtain, exposed half of his face, and greeted, "Come up."
Xia Houzhen was pleasantly surprised, but his face was not revealed, and he climbed into the carriage and sat face to face with Shen Zhen.
"Why are you out of the palace today? Don't you feast in the palace?"
The carriage was dark, and Xia Houzhen couldn't see his face clearly, but he could hear his words irritated, "No matter, let's breathe out. The most important thing in the palace is people, so I don't have to do everything myself."
"Alright," Xia Hou said, "it's time to rest, don't be tired yourself."
The carriage walked slowly, and the ground was not flat and bumpy. Shen Kuan leaned his head on the perimeter of the car and closed his eyes, and Xia Houzhen watched him quietly. Although there was only a faint outline in the dim light, it was also beautiful. The moon came out, the carriage drove into the street of the hutong of his house, the night market opened in the winter solstice, and the crowd was full of people. Xia Houyi opened the curtain and looked at it. Moonlight mixed in with the lights of the car, and Xia Houyi turned to see a smudging of Shen Zhe's forehead, hidden under the net scarf under the silk hat, which was not noticeable.
"What's wrong with your brain?" Xia Houyi asked.
Shen Yan opened his eyes and said casually: "Not careful, I fell."
Can you fall while walking? Xia Houyi felt strange, but didn't ask any more. He had nothing to say all the way home. Xia Houyi was about to get off. It took me half a month to see this once, but he was not very willing. Xia Houyi said goodbye to Shen Xu and jumped out of the carriage. The moon shone on the snow, a bright white spot. He took a few steps and stepped on some deep and light footprints. Would you like to keep him? Originally, he was able to speak very smoothly, his face was not changed, his heart was not beating, but now he has moved his mind, everything is different, and he can't say a word.
By the end of the year, Shen Ye will only get busier, will he not meet again every half a month? Xia Houzhen finally made up his mind and turned to shout "Master". At this moment, he also heard Shen Xuan calling on the carriage. The two calls slammed into each other, and it was hard to hear who shouted first.
"What do you say first?" Shen Yan asked him across the window.
"Nothing," Xia Hou said, "Today's winter solstice, shall we drink together? There is a good wine restaurant in front of you, and you can see the street view on the second floor. Are you coming?"
"Row."
Shen Ye also got out of the carriage, wrapped in a thick coat, and holding a hand stove in his hand. Shen Wenxing picked up the lights for them, entered the wine shop, and asked for a private room facing the street. Shen Xun advanced to change clothes. Xia Houzhen and Shen Wenxing waited at the door.
Xia Houzhen tilted his head and asked Shen Wenxing: "The governor seems to be in a bad mood?"
Shen Wenxing made a long "er", and said haha, "I don't dare to guess the mind of Godfather. Uncle Xiahou, ask Godfather yourself."
He said this in a concealed way, and Xia Houzhen noticed that it was nasty, because he asked, "What's wrong with the piece of blue on the forehead of the governor?"
Shen Wenxing stunned his horns and said, "What else can he do, the old man's old man walked unconsciously and fell down."
These eunuchs always lie without drawing drafts, and open their mouths to make up a series. There are snow dregs on the ground. How can I throw such a big boy? Xia Houyi knocked on his brain and said, "To be honest."
Shen Wenxing said bitterly, "Godfather won't let me say it."
Xiahou took his collar to a water tank and threatened according to his head: "Say it, don't say throw you in."
Shen Wenxing hugged Xia Hou's waist and did not dare to move. He said, "Your Majesty smashed it. He was going to open the scriptures today, and His Majesty resigned in the leopard room. His godfather knelt and asked His Majesty to go to school. You know, His Majesty is a child with a big temper, and he makes noises and smashes things in a moment. His godfather is also unlucky, and it happens that a fan is flying out and slammed on his brain. Isn't this young?
That turned out to be the case. Xia Hou loosened his hands and sighed with a frown. No wonder he came out of the palace. He dared to be beaten by the little emperor and was angry in his heart, and the things in the palace were stunned. Also, what kind of identity does he have? Showed a joke.
Shen Wenxing proceeded in a cage, and the old man sighed desolately: "Unlike the past, Godfather is so determined that he wants to be a loyal minister. In the past few days, the imprisonment of the imperial court in Jinyiwei, the same place as Master Liu, was accepted by bribes. Hundreds of silver, if in the past, only a few lessons, but now the godfather directly dismissed his officer. The dismissal is easy to handle, but the people below have no oil and water to take who will work? Not to mention the horrendous conquest of the old days Now, if you suddenly ask him to stop, breaking people's wealth is equal to killing people! "
"Will they centrifuge with the governor?" Xia Houyi asked.
"It's hard to say." Shen Wenxing shook his eyebrows and shook his head. "Yuan Fu still has to change the law. The first one was abolished, and the East Factory was included. The godfather gave a check and even agreed. She cut her wings again, how could that be good? Her Majesty recently had a new family member called Gao Decai, who saw the Heavenly Land under Her Majesty's West Plant. Fortunately, a few days ago, the Minister of the DPRK had troubled her to remove the first lady from jade. His Majesty was removed from his name, and he was not even allowed to enjoy the Taimiao. His Majesty relied on his godfather to mediate with his servants. This was not a sigh of relief. Otherwise, our lives will be more difficult than they are now. "
"Shen Wenxing, don't you want it?"
There was a sudden Shen sound behind him, and Shen Wenxing beat a spirit, and he slumped his lips, "The son talks! The son should fight!"
Xia Hou held him back and said, "I asked him to say."
Shen gave Shen Wenxing a glance, and walked into the room. Xia Houyi gave Shen Wenxing a piece of silver and told him it didn't matter. He asked him to buy wine and drink. He followed Shen Yi into the door and closed it.
Shen Yan has changed his official uniform, wearing a jade-colored auspicious cloud in a homely style, standing upright, leaning against the Linghua window and looking at the noisy street below. The streets screamed and sang, one after another, and a whole lantern was hung, and the streets were bright like daylight. Shen Xun did not look at Xia Houyi, but said: "You don't need to worry about those things, I have my own mind."
"I know. If you think you should do it, you can do it. I won't advise you." Xia Houyu opened two jugs of wine and handed Shen Ju a jug. The two touched the jug and took a sip. "Does it still hurt on your forehead?" Xia Houyi asked him.
Shen Yan shook his head and said it didn't hurt, and said, "Actually, I came out today to tell you something. I thought about it for a long time, and I still feel that it's good. There is a thousand households in Taizhou Wei, and you pack your luggage tomorrow, Go and take office there. "
Xiahou froze and asked, "What do you mean?"
Shen Yanmei said: "What else is there for you to go to Taizhou Weiwei to work. It is not a problem to be an indifferent fan all day in the East Factory, a manly husband, you must have a serious job . You have fought in Taizhou and you are familiar with it. The pirates are almost there. You just need to go there and make a few merit. With merit, you are promoted. By virtue of merit, others are afraid. Speaking of your gossip, if you return to Beijing to serve, you are a serious military attache. "
Xia Houyi wanted to talk, Shen Min raised his hand to stop him, and continued, "At the end, slowly draw a line with me and go to Qingliu to make a few friends. For a long time, no one will remember that you were with me I did it under my hand. "
Xia Hou smiled arrogantly, and said: "Then what? With you as an official, meet each other, and pretend to have no friendship, and respectfully call you a factory man and ask if you eat well in the morning, right?"
"Ama," Shen Ma said unhappy when he saw him, and softened his tone. "This is for your goodness. The dog hat is not easy to wear. You have a serious official position to protect yourself, and you can use it in the dark or in the dark. Me, aren't you? "
What helps? It's coaxing. Xia Houyan also tightened his brows. When he frowned, there was a savage in his brows that made people dare not approach. Shen Yan sighed, showing exhaustion in his eyebrows, and called out, "Ama."
"You don't want me to help you, but you're afraid that if you fall down in the future, you will also kill me." Xiahou shouted.
Shen Yun was silent. He shook the jug, and Fang Ji's smoke came from Su Hexiang, stunned his face, hazy, unable to see his look.
"Ama, this is for your good." Shen Hua put the jug on the window sill and pressed his eyebrows. "Do you know what happened to the factory supervisors of the previous factory? The last Weid was killed by me. On the other one, because I bought a house that was said to have royal power, lost the favor, was deported to Nanjing by Emperor Mu Zong, and died on the road somehow. And Liu Yao, who was famous in Jinghe years, became the factory governor for eight years and dismounted At that time, Ling Chi was executed. "He paused, raised his eyes from the hazy smoke and looked at Xia Houyi, without grief and joy on his face," I can't escape, Grandma. "
"Is that so?" Xia Houyi reached out and took Shen's hand lightly. His hand was cold and shameless, and it was always warm. He has always been like this. This is the root cause of the disease that fell on his knees in the snow when he was a child. His temperature is always lower than ordinary people, and he is most chilling. Xia Houyi put his hand on the palm of his hand, and slowly said, "I don't seem to tell you that I became Gallo before leaving Galan," he laughed. "Although the number one killed after being promoted to the throne Alone is the heart. Do you know what happened to Gala Luo of all ages? My mother is the 28th generation of Gala Luo. Her head is separated and the body is exposed. The heart is the 27th generation and died in me. The hand was cut by the machine wire and broken into corpses. The 26th generation of Galo Rosumo died in the Galan rebellion, and was probably chopped to death by the chaos. I can't remember the previous one. Good end. "
"You are different, Grandma, you are no longer Gallo."
"But I'm Xia Houyi," Xia Houyi shook his hand. "Master, you are so strange, you worked hard to get me back, but always wanted to push me away, this time it was the same. Do n’t push my master away. How many times do you want me to understand? Xiahou's life is yours. Even if this road leads to destruction, I will go with you.
