It is cold in winter, people are afraid of the cold, and horses walk slowly. In addition, the daylight is too short, Lu Mingyu and his family set off from Hangzhou City in early October, first changed their carriages, and arrived in Yongding County, Jizhou at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, which is still five days away from the capital.
It was almost dusk and the sun was bleak, and several carriages slowly stopped in front of the station.
Because Lu Rong sent someone to say hello in advance, the Yicheng had already cleaned up the best yard here and invited the five members of the Lu family to move in. No matter how thick the cotton carriage curtains were, there were a trace of cold wind blew in through the gaps. Lu Mingyu and his brother were stunned by the coldness. As soon as they got off the car, they followed Xiao quickly to the backyard and hurried to burn the ground dragon and burn the silver charcoal to keep warm.
"It's so cold." Lu Mingyu held the copper body and enamel enamel enamel, lotus-patterned crabapple-style hand stove, and couldn't help but stomp her feet gently, feeling that her feet seemed to have turned into two pieces of ice, without any heat.
"Go and sit on the kang." Xiao said with a heartache while removing the thick cloak on his youngest son. The closer he gets to the capital, the colder the weather is.
Lu Mingyu rubbed his hands, took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang, and sat next to the head of the kang. Qiuyue thoughtfully handed a quilt that had been warmed up in advance. Lu Mingyu took it and covered it on his legs. Heng Ge'er ran over cleverly, and Lu Mingyu lifted a corner and let his younger brother come in. When Brother Nian saw it there, he grinned and wanted to cover it with his sister.
So Lu Mingyu sat in the middle, with a younger brother sitting on both sides, and the three sisters squeezed each other and soon became warm.
"Mom, I won't go far again when I go home this time." Lu Mingyu hugged the three-year-old fat brother as a hand stove, and said to his mother tiredly. After nearly four years of leaving the capital, the family first rushed from the capital to Yueyang, and then along the Yangtze River, they had to change the county town eastward every few months. Until Hangzhou, Lu Mingyu couldn't remember how many times he had moved.
Xiao nodded, moved to his daughter and said, "Well, we will live in the capital for a long time from now on, and we will not go anywhere."
As he spoke, Lu Rong was back.
Mrs. Xiao quietly patted the seat next to her and signaled her husband to come over.
They were all a family, and Lu Rong was not polite, so he sat down and took a sip of hot tea to warm up. Lu Rong looked at his daughter with a smile, "A Nuan, Liu Yicheng just said that Yongding County has the custom of playing ice sport in winter. This time we came by chance, and we caught up with tomorrow's ice sport. Do you want to go and see it? It's on the river in the north of the city."
"Dad, what is ice sensation?" Heng Ge'er asked in confusion, and Nian Ge'er also looked at Dad in a daze.
Both guys grew up in the south. Not to mention ice sport, I haven’t even seen a few real heavy snow. Lu Mingyu has seen it many times in his two lives. Every winter, someone in the palace will arrange ice sport for the emperor and empress, and concubines to enjoy the entertainment. Lu Mingyu, as the niece of Emperor Minghui, always receives invitations from the queen.
"Ice sport is a group of people playing on the ice." Lu Mingyu explained simply by his nose.
"I want to play too!" When he heard something interesting, Brother Heng and Brother Nian almost said in unison.
Lu Rong has decided to take the children there, and he just wants to know if his daughter, who is afraid of the cold, is interested.
Lu Mingyu actually didn't want to go, but his younger brothers were in high spirits. Lu Mingyu nodded and smiled and said, "Go, I haven't seen folk gameplay yet."
Just as the Lu family was discussing tomorrow's itinerary, Chu Xing also learned about the news at the neighboring county station forty miles away.
"Sir, why don't we go and see the fun?" A guard of the Shenshu Camp who followed him to do business, said in great interest.
Chu Xing himself didn't want to go, but when he looked at the other two subordinates who also showed expectations, he thought about the hard work these days, Chu Xing was sure.
The errands assigned to him by the emperor have been done. Let's take a break for a while before returning to the capital, just treat them as a reward.
