Chapter 248 Distance
Uncle Cheng said with a simple and honest smile, "No wonder Master Chu and the others are so powerful. They also have rice and potatoes. They are smart!"
"Yeah! It's been a long time since I saw you. My grandfather and the others never said that it is possible to grow vegetables on a snowy day." Cheng Xianhou's concubine said.
Uncle Cheng was born to Mrs. Cheng's concubine. Mrs. Cheng's concubine was also the daughter of the official family. She didn't come with her when she was exiled.
Therefore, Uncle Cheng was almost brought up by the mother of the Cheng family. He was only a few years old when he came to Youzhou, and he was also extremely intelligent.
It's just that the difficult environment and the status of an exile limited his progress.
Master Cheng also had seven or eight sons, and several died on the way to exile. After arriving in Youzhou, his temper did not change because of the arrogant young master.
He was beaten to death by local bullies, and some were framed to death. In the end, only three sons survived.
Their Cheng family are all weak scholars. They are full of poetry and books, and they reason with the locals?
That said, it would be a futile talk between chickens and ducks. For example, a brother of the Cheng family and a local villager bunker scuffled in the court of the county magistrate.
The local dumpling said: "Three seven equals twenty four"
Brother Cheng said, "Thirty-seven equals twenty-one."
The two of them asked the county magistrate to judge them. After the county magistrate heard it, he beat the Cheng family's brother 20 big boards and released the local villagers without charge.
Brother Cheng is not convinced!
The county magistrate said, "3721 is correct, the fault lies in you, a talented outlaw who is entangled with illiterate villagers."
The brother of the Cheng family was beaten 20 times, and his body was hurt and his mind was also greatly affected by his anger, and he died of anger like that.
The eldest brother of the Cheng family was Cheng Xianhou's father, and he never reasoned with the local bumpkins.
If any girl wants to be his concubine, he can only take her as his concubine, because they are family members.
You can't lift it with your hands, you can't pick it up with your shoulders, and don't dream of hitting someone out, not even a village girl!
Because of their Uncle Song, the local business gentry and local tyrants and small officials will give them a little bit of noodles for the Cheng family.
Make their life not so difficult, and they are still richer than most of the Youzhou buns.
Therefore, a large number of business gentry and local tyrants and small officials will marry their daughters. His second brother and his wife have a good relationship and have a son.
It's not that the eldest of the Cheng family and the couple have a bad relationship, but that he, as the eldest son, wants to support the family, and his father refuses to step down from the altar under the pretense of exile.
Buddha said: I do not go to hell who will go to hell!
The eldest of the Cheng family was so degenerate, there were two, and the local bully villagers with many brothers also wanted to stuff their younger sister into him as a concubine.
He took it all at once, and their family had labor...
Uncle Cheng saw his eldest brother degenerate, the other brothers were forced to death, and his mother was heartbroken. At the age of fifteen, he single-handedly created the Youzhou government.
He was handsome and handsome, and his eloquence was enough to conquer the Lord Futai and betrothed his youngest daughter to him.
Since then, the Cheng family has lived a clean life in the local area for several years under the cover of the Futai adults.
Until later, the Song family, the Yang family, and the Wang family were all exiled to Youzhou, and Lord Futai was also unlucky.
Their Cheng family went back to the pre-liberation period, and it was still the kind that was more hard-pressed than before the liberation.
Because they were not exiled together, in another town two hundred miles away from their village.
When General Song learned that they were living so hard, he moved into their village angrily, and the villagers dared not say they disagreed.
why? Because General Song has a hard fist!
When Mrs. Cheng was exiled, the new emperor had just ascended the throne, and everything was waiting to be done. His Majesty the emperor was very busy.
There is no time to pay attention to and suppress them, so they have suffered countless deaths and injuries while they are still passable.
When General Song was exiled, the emperor's dragon chair was already firmly seated.
The emperor had a lot of time to pay attention to them, and Jin Yiwei often came to Youzhou to check the situation.
Cheng Taifu's calligraphy and paintings can no longer be sold. It's not that his paintings are bad, but that no one dares to buy them.
There is also pressure from the local county government and the main boss, and their families are living like thin ice, where is there any land for them to grow!
At this time, everyone saw the tender seedlings growing out of the snow, and they were so excited that tears filled their eyes.
"Second brother, we will all have green vegetables to eat in the future." They hadn't tasted green vegetables for several months.
"Yes, third brother, we still have rice to eat!" The second child of the Cheng family burst into tears.
The brothers of the Yang family also hugged happily. They once thought they would starve to death this winter.
The two brothers of the Wang family were even more in tears. Even though they were concubines, they used to wear fine clothes and jade food.
"Don't cry, what are the big men talking like, hurry up and dig the snow!" An uncle of the Song family shouted loudly.
"Yes, yes, Uncle Song is right." The young people hurriedly worked hard.
They have been planting vegetables for five days in a row, and the first one to be planted is as long as a finger.
Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, and Master Chu came up with a message, inviting them all to have a New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow.
Everyone in the cave was so excited!
Especially the girls, who turn out their best clothes and wear them.
At this time, Jiang Xinyan at the foot of the mountain was leading everyone to set up the venue. There was no river or pond in this piece of ice.
Anyway, the thick ice won't crack, not to mention tens of thousands of people, it is not a problem to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
Jiang Xinyan asked, "Do you want them to bring their own benches? How many hours will this show take?"
"If you can't stand for a few hours on the order, bring your own bench." Chu Lixuan said to the person beside him.
Those who are training, don't bring any benches.
The subordinates of the surname Chu, Zhao Yu and Wei Dabin knew their Master Chu very well, and they knew the meaning with just one look and one sentence.
For the New Year's Eve dinner, ten large vegetables are prepared. The first batch of seaweed moss they plant can be picked, and the cabbage can be eaten, but the radish has not grown up yet.
But they had enough potatoes, and no one knew how the mountain of potatoes got there.
Chu Yi and the others thought it was brought in by Zhao Yu's Jin Yiwei.
Zhao Yu thought it was from Chu Yi and the others, and no one was ashamed to ask.
why! Because they both took the time to pay attention to each other, and neither found any clues.
They both think that their martial arts have not reached the height of the other.
Therefore, they have several parties, and they are trying their best to practice magic tricks like Saburo.
No one ever doubted that it was planted by their grandfather himself.
Chu Lixuan also knows their contest, so what's up with him?
Mr. Xinxin has a saying that is good, you don't ask, I don't tell, this is the distance.
You ask, I don't tell, this is estrangement, you ask, I tell, this is trust.
The opportunity is right in front of you, and you don't ask yourself, this is the distance between us.
