Snow is coming.
Now it was the third year of Yongle, when the new emperor came to the throne, and the Taishanghuang and Dingwang disappeared, it was the time when Dalan should have a stable country and a prosperous business. Jingzhen is now also known as the land of Jingshang, which is the new name for the promotion of Baiye commercial roads after the merger of Beiyang and Sanjin.
As soon as the goods from Dayuan arrived, the mules stopped, and a man came out of the shop, and gave a long cry: "Here."
The new year's leather has arrived.
The shopkeeper in front of this store is a bit special, he is no better than other stores who can settle accounts, the abacus is like a dog planing, and it takes hours to settle a account. Now when he saw a cart full of leather, he bumped his head on the cabinet with his abacus, and said worriedly and hatedly.
"Early or late, I'll wait until my uncle is away." He moved out again, searched through the load of leather, and said, "Put them into the warehouse one by one, don't worry, let me count them one by one. "
The young man stood with his sleeves folded, and said worryingly: "That won't count until next year, come on, sir, hurry up and send someone to count the number, and keep the young master to come back to make the knot. I'm sure it will be a few days faster than you."
The shopkeeper with a velvet neck was not ashamed, but proudly said: "That's it, leave it to him, it's very fast, Quan Dalan is the fastest!"
The clerk turned his head away worriedly, looking at the snow in the sky, he thought to himself that the shopkeeper is like this, how long this shop can last, thanks to the young master.
But his shopkeeper really didn't care about this product, turned around and found a piece of paper, wrote down in detail what to eat and use at night, and finally drew a little dancing figure at the end of the page, and marked " He Anchang" three words.
It snowed heavily at night, Xie Jing's raw wine and rice were all prepared, but it was too late to wait for anyone to come back. He felt something was wrong, so he just put on a fleece and went out to look for someone.
Get out of the shop and go around the street again, which is the intersection of the commercial roads, and it is also the place where the former Beiyang Army and the current Jing Army are stationed. In this hub, there are merchants of goods from all over the world.
Xie Jingsheng came to the door, and a row of lanterns hung above it for lighting. He put down the next stop, stood in the snow and waited.
A person passed by the wall above, and a pot of hot wine was thrown down for him. Xie Jingsheng took it, opened the plug and took a sip, then swallowed and frowned: "You are standing tall, can you see anyone?"
"Oh, it's late at night." Wu Yu leaned against the wall and glanced at him, "Give me a look, you can't even see through the wall."
"Just like you." Xie Jingsheng raised his head to drink the clean wine, threw it back at him, and cursed: "I can't see the situation!"
Wu Yu caught it, and said in a low voice, "You can hold back the fire, kid. It's all burning here. How about it? If He Anchang doesn't come back tonight, you'll have to suffocate."
Xie Jingsheng retorted: "You don't understand this, it's mixed with honey."
Wu Yu wanted to scold him bitterly, but he also felt that he was a loner, no matter how much he scolded him, it would be worse than being in a couple. He couldn't help snorting, hung up the flagon and left.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the dim road finally saw light. A horse-drawn carriage drove over smoothly and stopped not far from the intersection. He Anchang got out of the carriage because of the need to check, and continued to discuss business with the people next to him.
Unexpectedly, a person under the door opened his arms and ran towards him at a high speed, shouting: "So xu xu xu xu—" while rushing towards him.
He Anchang heard this sound and knew that the business would not be able to continue tonight, so he pleaded guilty and stooped to copy a handful of snow in the snow. Xie Jingsheng was rushing towards him, but his face was covered by the snow, he didn't wipe it off, he hugged him, and then he picked him up abruptly and walked back, his palm touched all over from waist to buttocks.
"What's wrong." He Anchang patted him on the forehead, "I'm going to use it."
"I've lost a lot of weight. I'll take you home while walking. Have you eaten at night? It must have been eaten. It's like rushing and chasing soldiers. I prepared it at home, and I can eat it directly after I go back and wipe my face. Xie Jingsheng, who was rambling, turned a deaf ear to him, just pinched his waist and rubbed him against his cheek, excited and wronged: "I want to die!"
"I just left the day before yesterday." He Anchang patted his cheek lightly, then turned to wipe off the snow water for him, and lightly reprimanded: "You've only lost a lot of weight!"
"You haven't touched it yet." Xie Jingsheng pointed back at Wu Yu who was gesturing for his little finger on the wall, "I arrived so late today, I'll go out and look for it later."
It's okay if he doesn't mention it, but He Anchang wants to beat him up when he mentions it, "The shop is closed again? I'll look at the account book when I go back."
Xie Jingsheng ran up with the man in his arms, laughing all the time, "Just look, I've been working hard for the past two days, and I haven't paid a single penny."
He Anchang stopped talking, and stayed on his shoulder for a while, but couldn't think of a way to teach him to settle accounts. Just staying there, the person has already returned home.
As soon as the door was pushed, the hot air rushed out, Xie Jingsheng rubbed the palm of He Anchang's hand, there was still hot water there, the two of them cleaned their hands together, Xie Jingsheng didn't let go.
Eating a meal is like squatting next to a dog.
He Anchang barely filled his stomach, put down his chopsticks, pushed away some chairs, and said to Xie Jingsheng, "Come here."
"What's the matter?" Xie Jingsheng leaned over, "Just eat this?"
He Anchang stared at him coldly, while Xie Jingsheng leaned on the handle of the chair. The two met each other for a few moments, when Xie Jingsheng suddenly buried his head and rubbed against He Anchang's neck, exhaled deeply, and said with a low smile: "If you look at people like that, I really can't do it." He took He Anchang's hand down, slightly Hoarse: "Oops."
The corners of He Anchang's eyes were stained red by his exhalation, and his hands tightened slightly. After hearing his hiss, he turned his head and rubbed his cheek, and said, "What's wrong with this, I can't see you anymore."
"Look." Xie Jingsheng tilted his head and kissed up his fair neck, "Don't go to that corner, it's a long way away." He pecked his lips again, and said in a hoarse voice: "Just stay here , One day or two days, I am really terrified."
He Anchang pursed his lower lip slightly, and said earnestly: "That won't work, Dayuan and Dalan just got into business, how can we be at ease if we don't pay close attention?"
Xie Jingsheng groaned and picked him up from the chair, whispering in his ears: "Then why do you take a bath? It's precious at this time, it must be used on the right way."
He Anchang hugged his back tightly with his backhand, and turned his head to answer him. Immediately after the cloth on the table was pulled, the person was already pressed on the table. Xie Jingsheng bowed his head and sucked the lips that had just made a sound, and slipped his hand.
It gets hotter.
After this trip, He Anchang really didn't go out anymore, he just stayed in the shop and sorted out the messy accounts. Xie Jing was born with free time, so he didn't dare to be a hands-off shopkeeper. He guarded his uncle all day long, carrying goods inside and out and displaying shelves. The guys all took their annual leave early.
After so many years, who still doesn't understand the potential of the shopkeeper
Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, the letter from Nansui has also arrived. Xie Jingsheng and He Anchang packed up a batch of New Year's goods, and drove from Jingzhen to Shanyinnan Suishan.
It's like this every year, and we have to get together on the night of Yuanchun.
Xin Yi was here to sweep the snow, but Chi Chi brought a group of puppies to follow behind him, squeezing and digging. He simply stopped, and led the group around the courtyard to play on the snow.
Qu Lao doesn't do most of the things himself now, the old man is bent a lot, he has to use crutches. He stood under the porch and watched Xin Yi having fun with a group of little black balls. He stood smiling for a while, and then Bai Jiu from the room over there came out.
"The son is still young." Elder Qu is a little confused now, he always calls Xin Yi, who has become the overlord, the son, as if he just entered the mansion. He just smiled: "Don't sweep the snow in this courtyard, and leave it for the Shizi to please."
"He's still young." Bai Jiu frowned, "He won't grow up, so let him play."
Xin Yi squatted down and tied red silk for the little milk dogs one by one, and Chi Chi brought a big Huajuan to sit and watch. As soon as Xin Yi looked up and saw the black-faced red flower, he couldn't help laughing, and for some reason, he couldn't stop for a while.
A person came from behind and bent down to put his palm on his face, and when he raised his head, his dimple became even deeper.
"Who tied it?"
Bai Jiu said: "This vision is not unique."
Xin Yi got up, "Xiao Jin can be regarded as powerful, I think he has a son, he should be better."
"Even my son can't save him." Bai Jiu also smiled and shook his hand. The two of them stood in the yard, and with the red juanhua, they smiled all over Xiao Jin's eyes that had been in his eyes for several years.
It only said that Xiao Jin was watching the annual meeting with Xin Ming in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and sneezed for some reason, and couldn't stop one after another.
In the evening, the lanterns in the courtyard were only lit, and Xie Jingsheng and his wife arrived outside. The carriage unloaded a bunch of New Year's goods, and there was a lot of food, clothing and play.
The lanterns all over the courtyard were made by Baijiu, each of them was lit differently, and it was very interesting to sway in the fine snow. The yard is still the old yard many years ago. Although the vines withered, they still stay in the old place. The scattered chess game on the wild stone is still there, and it can be regarded as a scene even covered with snow.
The door is push-type, and thick curtains are hung in winter, and the mats inside are new, which should be re-added. Some books were scattered, and a small shelf was placed in the innermost place near the window, on which there was only a hand-copied book in rough edges.
The room was hot, Xie Jingsheng took off the cloak for He Anchang when he entered the room.
Yuanchun night should have a reunion dinner.
But the four of them didn't pay much attention to it, it just so happened that He An always had a lot of fresh ingredients for this trip, so he set up a hot pot. Around a small case, the four of them just formed a circle. Once the small glass was filled with wine, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks was heard far down the mountain, and it was time for them to serve dinner.
Clink glasses before meals, but they are not used for drinking, but poured into the incense burner and poured on the incense.
This is the elder brother's rule.
As soon as the pot boils, put the thin mutton into the soup, then dip it in the sauce, drink hot wine, and the sound of snow falling, the unique flavor of the New Year comes out.
Xin Yi and He Anchang chatted a few words about Jingzhou business, but Bai Jiu fell aside and said nothing. Xie Jingsheng was cooking meat for He Anchang, when the hot air in the pot was holding him back, he suddenly let out a sigh and leaned over slightly.
"My lord." He raised his finger to his temple.
Bai Jiu glanced at him, poured the wine, and said in a low voice, "It's time."
White hair is normal.
Xie Jingsheng was dumb, he should have joked a few words, but for some reason, he didn't say it today. I just buried my head and ate for a while, no more words. Xin Yi didn't seem to hear it, He Anchang stretched out his hand under his sleeve, and grabbed Xie Jingsheng's fingertips.
I sensed that he was a little lonely.
In the evening Xin Yi went to the corridor to see Chi Chi, and He Anchang also went. The curtains in the room were half lifted to dissipate the heat, Xie Jingsheng was leaning against the door, holding a glass of wine, watching the two talking to Chi Chi's milk dog on the porch.
Bai Jiu sat down at the table next to him, and put a plate of wine among them.
"What does this look like?" Bai Jiu narrowed his eyes halfway, "It looks like I'm going to turn my head and be buried in the soil."
Xie Jingsheng touched the tip of his nose and smiled, but he didn't smile happily. He said: "My lord, what are you talking about." He also said: "At this time... it's just a blink of an eye. Although I am not a person who is obsessed with age, I suddenly saw it, but I am also." It is not very pleasant.
When he was younger and younger, he followed Bai Jiu, followed Bai Jiu from Shanyin to Kyoto, from Jinyiwei to the height of the temple, and followed Bai Jiuyi to return to his old age.
old age.
When the word came out of his mouth, it was just an excuse to laugh freely, and not wanting to blink became the real reason.
Xie Jingsheng put down the wine glass, straightened up and rubbed his face, and then laughed out loud: "I think Xie Jingsheng has been a disaster in my life, and I don't want to be able to die at all." He laughed again: "I haven't lost a cent in this life."
When he accompanied He Anchang into He's mansion that day, he was beaten out by Mrs. He all the way. After so many years, if I don't beat the old lady every year, I'm not used to it. Although Zhang Taiyan didn't see He Anchang again, he didn't throw out last year's New Year's goods after all. Now he is sinking into such a peaceful life, he doesn't ask for anything, he just wants to last longer.
a little longer.
"The so-called scourge lasted for thousands of years, it's definitely not nonsense." Bai Jiu also smiled, his fine white hair hanging down from his temples, but the beauty in his narrow eyes remained undiminished. He said: "You are also at this age now, take care of yourself."
The two sat for a while.
Laughter came from the corridor, Xin Yi hugged the little milk dog, and was showing He Anchang the red juanhua. He Anchang is cold... Xie Jingsheng's He Anchang is no longer cold.
The corners of Xie Jing's lips moved, and for the first time in his life, he boldly patted his shoulder on the shoulder.
"Although I am a little unwilling."
He sighed.
"But I have to say I can still hold on."
You can keep the peace you get in this life.
Bai Jiu sipped his wine, seeing Xin Yi under the lamp looking back, the dimple spun lightly, and it was the end of him.
He said, "It's still early."
The firecrackers rang again in the night.
He whispered: "It's only a few years, there are more than ten years and decades."
It's still early.
And in the end it was nothing but,
The loess fell, and he waved his hand to scatter.
Everyone is in this eternal world.
