The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 373
In the 11th year of Hongde, the twelfth lunar month is twenty-three.

Northern Years.

The heavy snow that had lasted for several days finally stopped, and the long-lost sunshine fell on the city of Shenjing, reflecting dazzling silver everywhere in the sky and earth.

Although it was extremely cold, it did not affect the excitement of Shenjing today.

After all, today is a young year.

Previously, the successive heavy snow days had forced people to stay at home for several days, but now there is a rare sunny day, and everyone ran outside happily.

Plus it's a holiday.

Therefore, no matter whether the family is rich or poor, they have to go out and buy some fabrics, food, candies and so on.

The former is for the New Year’s Eve a few days later, and the latter is for today’s New Year’s Eve.

It is a folk custom that when you bid farewell to the Stove Lord, you have to give him some sweets, so that he can say more sweet words for his family after returning to heaven, so that the next year will be more prosperous.

So this candy can't be saved.

Except for those who sell clothes and utensils, eat meat, and those who take the opportunity to buy and sell small items such as juggling, snack balls, etc., there are countless people walking around the streets.

Although there are many people who sell things, there are even more people who buy things.

These shops and vendors have already pinpointed people's minds and are ready to make a lot of money in the next few days.

Those vendors who were doing business in the city went to the market to set up their stalls without even waiting for dawn; those who lived outside the city had no choice but to wait at the gate of the city early in the morning to wait for release.

After all, the time to set up the stalls is earlier and later, but they are all "crawling" cuties!

The season of freezing weather.

The sellers and shoppers succeeded in making the whole city of Shenjing shrouded in a joyful and peaceful noisy atmosphere.

……

Shenjing Xicheng, Xixie Street.

On both sides of the wide street, there are already filled with stalls and hawkers. It used to be a spacious street in Nuo Da, but now it is full of noise coming and going.

Not to mention the crowding and rubbing shoulders, it can also be said that there are so many people coming and going.

Just in front of the stone archway on Xixie Street.

There were a few oil trucks with green curtains parked there far away. A small flag embroidered with the character "Jia" was planted on the car, and the imprint of the county king was printed on the car, so that passers-by could understand that there was a lot of people in this car. Those who sit are all nobles who cannot be bumped.

But at this time, the people in the car were looking at the bustling market not far away with a rather tangled look.

Lifting the windshield curtain of the carriage, Xueyan poked her head out, looked at the market, sighed, and said: "In the past, I never saw so many people. Is it like this?"

There is a look of depression between the words.

Lin Daiyu, who was sitting in the car, also had a similar disappointed expression at this time.

Zijuan stretched out her hand from the side, and pulled Xueyan back with a serious face.

"You don't want to make the princess unhappy again. In the past, it's fine if you messed around a bit. Today, there are so many people outside, and the princess and Aunt Xue are both pregnant. If there is anything wrong, I will sell you. Sorry!"

"Eh... so what, I was just saying something, now there are so many people outside, I don't want to crowd around..."

Xue Yan also reacted at this time, and hurriedly rounded up her words.

However, Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing, saying: "You girl, your brain is so bright recently!"

Just as he was talking, he heard Jia Jing's voice from outside.

"It's not enough to go to the street to watch the excitement today, but I just bought two game meats at the entrance of the market, why don't we go back and set up a pot in the garden, how about eating hot pot while enjoying the snow?"

When Lin Daiyu heard this, her eyes lit up.

Shabu Shabu?
That's a good idea!
You know, since Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai became pregnant, in order to prevent the child in their stomach from getting angry, the cooks in the kitchen have always avoided spicy things.

After a long time, both Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai felt a little panicked.

Therefore, hearing Jia Jing's proposal, my heart was extremely moved.

After all, you have to put some spices and aniseed ingredients in your hot pot on a snowy day, right?
Thinking about it this way, I couldn't hold back my saliva...

Jia Jing then went to the back of several green curtain oil trucks and talked about it with Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin inside one by one, and they naturally agreed with each other.

Now that it was settled, Jia Jing ordered several coachmen to turn the car around.

Then, amidst the sound of "da da" horseshoes, everyone went straight to Ning Rong Street and returned.

………………

Just when Jia Jing and his party were on their way home, ready to enjoy the snow and cook hot pot.

On the northern grasslands.

There was a "person" cursing about Jia Jing and Canglang...

The silver-white world filled with sky and polar regions played an excellent shielding effect on the white deer in it, which prevented it from being attacked and killed by the hunters behind it.

at this time.

In this endless silvery snowfield, a snow-white reindeer is hiding in the thick snow, calming down its little heart that is about to jump out of its chest.

From time to time, there was a scream like a baby crying above his head.

It caused waves of regret and annoyance in Bailu's heart.

It's not that I regret that my family plans to go to the wolf, but that I am annoyed at my carelessness!

"I should have written in the first place and asked the boss to send someone to pick me up!"

Bailu looked annoyed and despised himself from the bottom of his heart, "After sleeping for so many years, have I lost my mind? I have forgotten how attractive my own sacred origin is to other natural saints. gone?"

"It can be integrated into its own origin with almost no loss, or it can be refined into a god with innate holy fighting power..."

"Isn't this the living Tang Monk meat?!"

Bai Lu wailed in his heart, "It's all to blame for that big dog. A good copy of "Journey to the West: The Legend of Shi'e" was only delivered halfway. When I saw the wonderful part, the "snap" at the back was gone. , Is this something that humans can do?"

"If I hadn't been thinking about what was written later, why would I have come out so hastily?"

"The wolf mistook me!"

Bai Lu was complaining frantically in his heart, and above his head, a shrill cry of a baby resounded through the sky.

Then the wind broke out.

"Again?!"

The white deer was shocked, and immediately his limbs exerted force!

The silver-white crystal snowflakes exploded suddenly, and a snow-white figure "swished" out, but in an instant, he was already tens of feet away.

next moment.

A gigantic bird-like monster with a wingspan of three to four feet and a height of nearly ten feet standing on the ground with its two claws suddenly pounced on the position where the white deer was just now.

It's a pity that the white deer has already escaped, and this giant bird can only stir up snowflakes in vain.

Looking at the escaped white deer, the giant bird's eyes were full of killing intent.

"Any struggle is futile, Bailu, you can't escape, why don't you obediently ask me to eat it, then you and I will become one, and I will take you to overlook many sacred things together, wouldn't it be a pleasure?"
