The beauty of the lady

Chapter 27
In fact, Zhou Yuzhu is aggrieved sometimes, even his father-in-law and mother-in-law can understand him, why his mother is so difficult for him.

In fact, there is no way to think about it. Zhou Yuzhu’s eldest brother, Zhou Yusheng, is over 30 this year and has two sons and a daughter. Although he still eats from his parents, his old mother has no complaints at all. The son is a boy, and this was ten years ago, but every time he tried to be a scholar, he failed every time. Even so, this boy was already the first job in Zhoujiazhuang. , and only Zhou Yuzhu's house is left as a labor force. After all, there are two girls and a younger brother who is still studying in the town. Light, betrothed to a good family.

This is exactly what the old lady of Zhou Mei's family thought.

At noon, the three of them bought a lot of meat buns in a town, and after feeding the donkeys, they rested for a while and continued on their way. The rest of the time was going to go directly to Fucheng before resting. Although the buns would be cold Yes, but how do the two peasants compare, and Zhou Mei can't be hypocritical now, although eating cold food in winter is a bit hurtful, but she can't.

The journey in the afternoon is relatively faster, and the closer the city is, the official road is relatively smoother, but it is still full of potholes, but the loess road is relatively spacious.

"Sister Mei, are you okay?" Zhou Zhuang had already gotten used to it, but Zhou Yuzhu still slowed down a little when he saw his daughter's wrinkled face.

Zhou Mei is hungry and cold now, and it is already dusk. It is very cold in the first month of the lunar year, and the padded jacket she wears is very thin. It is very good to be able to endure such a day.

"I'm fine." Zhou Mei shook her head, "Father, Uncle Da Zhu, when can we arrive?"

"Hurry up, there are less than fifty miles to go, and we will arrive in more than an hour. Hurry up in the afternoon, and we will arrive before it is too late." Zhou Yuzhu smiled, looking back, his face was a little pale, and the tip of his nose was also red from the cold Zhou Mei, who was overwhelmed, turned her head and took a sack from the side of the car, smiled at her and said, "Sister Mei, put it on, this is for uncle to hold the straw. Seeing how cold you are, don't tell me earlier."

Zhou Mei looked at the sack with several holes, her expression was a little stiff, and finally she reached out to take it and put it on her body. After all, it was just adding a heavy object to her body, how could she keep warm.

Zhou Zhuang looked at his daughter's pitiful appearance, and hugged her into his arms.

"Father is careless. Is sister Mei hungry? There are still steamed buns here. Let's make up for it first. When we get to the city, let's eat something hot." He said and handed the steamed stuffed bun to Zhou Mei.

Zhou Mei shook her head, pushed back and said, "Father, it's too cold, I'll bear it a little longer, and I'll just have a bowl of hot porridge in the city."

It's been an afternoon, and the steamed stuffed bun has already been completely frozen. She never jokes about her body, and she's not too hungry now. Anyway, there are still two hours left, so let's bear with it.

"Okay, you all sit still, I'll hurry up." Zhou Yuzhu also knew that the child was still young, and eating something that was too cold would make him colder, so he raised his horsewhip and quickened his pace.

The city gates of the city gates of the Great Yan Dynasty were closed at the end of Haishi and opened at the beginning of Maoshi, so even if they did not rush desperately, they could still reach Yuzhou Prefecture before the gates closed. However, it is freezing cold now. I couldn't bear it during the day, the cold wind blowing on my face was like a knife cut, let alone at night, let alone a little girl like Zhou Mei, even a big man couldn't bear it.

Until the hour of the unitary hour, they finally saw the majestic city wall and the magnificent scene in the distance. Although it was not comparable to the [-]th National Day tourist season, the scene of people coming and going still made Zhou Mei feel like she was a country bumpkin. Feel.

There are people riding horses, cars, and walking in and out of the city gate, and they come and go, which is very lively.

In front of the city gate, eight guards were holding long spears, standing straight as pine, and they could get a glimpse of the situation in the city just by looking at their faces.

"It's finally here, San Zhuang, where shall we go first?" Zhou Yuzhu asked.

"Let's find an inn to stay for one night. It's been a day, and sister Mei's body is quite cold." Zhou Mei was held in Zhou Zhuang's arms on Wednesday, even after such a long time, his body was still trembling slightly.

"That's fine, let's find a cheaper and cleaner place." Zhou Yuzhu smiled and said, "I used to live in a house when I came to Fucheng, and it only cost [-] copper coins a night for a room."

"Twenty copper plates?" Zhou Mei was slightly taken aback, "Is it so cheap?"

"The location is not very good. It was opened by an old couple. There are no children at home, so it's a bit of money." Zhou Yuzhu said while driving the car through the straight central avenue, and walked for about half an hour, and then Turning into an alley, there is an alley behind the alley, and there is a two-story courtyard that looks very simple but elegant.

"It's here. Fortunately, it's not closed. The proprietress of this house is in poor health. It's okay when the weather is warm. In autumn and winter, her legs are so swollen that it's hard to walk."

"What's wrong? Didn't you see a doctor?" Zhou Zhuang asked.

Zhou Mei thought to herself: It seems to be rheumatism, not only in ancient times with backward medical facilities, but also in modern times where it is impossible to get rid of the roots, and it must be well maintained.

"Look, I took a lot of medicine, and it can only relieve the pain. It can't be cured. The doctor said that it's old cold legs, and I can't stand the moisture and cold." Zhou Yuzhu shook his head and sighed: "I'm sorry for this old couple. .”

He went up and knocked on the door, a young boy ran out, saw that it was Zhou Yuzhu, and immediately smiled: "Brother Zhou, you are here, come in quickly, there is hot water burning in the room to warm up your body. "

"Little stubborn head, do you still know me?" He hasn't been here for a year.

The little guy smiled and said: "How can you not know each other, Brother Zhou patronizes our business every time he comes to Fucheng, you go in first, I will park the car for you."

After saying that, he took the reins from Zhou Yuzhu, led the donkey cart and went to the backyard.

When the three of them walked in, they saw a grey-haired old man behind the counter flicking his abacus. Hearing the voice, he raised his head and saw the person coming. He also grinned: "Yuzhu, you're here."

"Yes, Father Chen, I haven't seen you for nearly a year, are you okay?" Zhou Yuzhu asked with a smile when he saw him.

"It's still the same as before. You can't make a lot of money, but you can't be hungry. Why did you come here?"

"I brought my brothers from the village here, and I'm staying with Mr. Chen tonight. Do you have a room?"

"Yes, how many times have you come here? When was my place full? By the way, why don't you come here this year? Don't you deliver food here?" Father Chen stood up and led the three of them upstairs. go up.
