Chu Ziheng was glared at by Ruoyun, smiled wryly, and said dog-leggedly: "Yun'er, are you tired, I'll pinch your shoulders."
"Hmph, I'm not tired, don't think about it, just sit here, let's talk," Ruoyun said.
"Eh, okay, good, talk well" Chu Ziheng pulled the quilt and wrapped the two of them tighter, but his hand was around Ruoyun's waist, and then the two whispered.
Two people who love each other, even if they just sit together and talk, feel sweet.
In such a simple room, the two snuggled together, like an ordinary young couple about to get married, imagining their future and their home, this feeling made Ruoyun very excited, and when he thought of this night many years later, Ruoyun's heart was very warm.
The two of them just talked, and then unconsciously lay down on the clay kang and fell asleep.
The kang is very large, not to mention the two of them, even if it is no problem to sleep four or five people, but the two of them only occupy a little space in the middle.
The next morning, Ruoyun woke up in Chu Ziheng's arms, although the two of them just fell asleep last night and didn't do anything, but when she woke up in the morning, Ruoyun's face was still red, this was the first time in her two lives that she slept with a man for one night.
Chu Ziheng was thick-skinned, kissed Ruoyun's forehead, and said, "Yun'er, it would be good if you woke up in my arms every morning in the future."
Ruoyun's face became even more ashamed, and she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Ziheng, what's going on outside, who's crying?"
Chu Ziheng also frowned when he heard this: "This cry has lasted for a while, it seems to be not far from Brother Mao's house."
The two of them were woken up by this cry, and on the morning of winter, I don't know whose house was crying and making trouble.
"Let's go out and have a look, I don't know what is going on," Ruoyun said.
"Okay, let's go and see" Chu Ziheng was a little reluctant Ruoyun left his arms, but he was relieved to think that this was the first day, and the two of them could be together every day on the way to the capital in the future.
The two of them cleaned up briefly, then opened the door and went out.
As soon as they opened the door, a stream of cold air blew in, which made the two of them feel shocked.
When I walked out, I found that the snow had stopped in the middle of the night, and a thin layer of snow had fallen on the ground, and when the sun came up, the snow on the ground was dried into water, and the ground would freeze.
The two of them rustled on the ground, and when they walked to the door of Mao's house, the door had already opened, and they knew that this was Mao Dazhuang going out, and they both felt it in the morning.
The two walked out of the door, looking at the scene in front of them, Chu Ziheng couldn't help but sigh: "Winter in the north is really early, I'm afraid it's not yet snowing in the capital at this time."
"Yes, even if it snows in Beijing, it should be rare to see such a picture covered in silver, nature is really beautiful" Ruoyun nodded.
As far as the eye can see, the roofs of every house are snow-white, the trees seem to be wearing white hats, and the mountains in the distance seem to be covered with snow-white quilts.
In the open space in front of you, except for a few footprints that were stepped on, the rest of the place was snow-white and crystalline, as if it was the kind of cream cake made by Zhiweifang, which made people want to take a bite.
There are many people in the capital, many large households, even if it snows, people have already cleaned the snow at home for fear of slipping to the master.
The streets are also cleaned, and there will be special people who will clean them, so you can't see such a beautiful picture.
The two walked through the snow, followed the crying sound and walked over, and saw that it was in front of a family not far from Mao Dazhuang's house.
In a vacant space in front of the door, a lot of people had gathered at this time, Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng walked over and found that many people in the crowd were crying, but it was generally a mother and daughter hugging and crying, and there was a man squatting on the ground next to him, sticking his head and not speaking.
The two of them were a little strange, what the hell was going on, why in the early morning, these people gathered here to cry, and it didn't look like someone had died.
They used to stand aside, watching these people all dressed in shabby clothes, and there were even many people who were not wearing cotton clothes, and they kept stomping their feet in the cold morning.
The two of them swept their eyes, and these people were all very sallow, with yellow faces and thin muscles, obviously feeling that they often couldn't eat enough.
Chu Ziheng couldn't help but ask a slightly thin man standing next to him: "This big brother, what's going on here?"
The man was originally paying attention to the movements of those crying people, but he was startled by Chu Ziheng's question at this time.
Looking at Chu Ziheng and Ruoyun again, they were full of wealth and wealth, as if they were a little frightened, and hurriedly waved their hands and said, "I don't know, I don't know" He was obviously a little afraid of Chu Ziheng and Ruoyun, and hid to the side as he spoke, looking like he wanted to stay away from them.
Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng couldn't help but look at each other, the two of them didn't do anything, I don't know why this man was afraid of being like this.
They suddenly thought that the first reaction of Mao Dazhuang's family when they saw them yesterday was to show a look of fear, especially Cheng Lin's reaction was the most obvious.
Then they remembered that these people might be afraid of strangers However, this is in their village, why are they so afraid of strangers, I still remember that when they went to Jiangnan, they passed through some villages, and the people there were very hospitable.
The movement here alarmed some villagers, and many people looked over one after another, and when they saw Chu Ziheng and Ruoyun, they all showed the same vigilant and frightened eyes as the thin man.
Suddenly, Chu Ziheng and Ruoyun's sides suddenly became vacant, and people couldn't help but keep a distance from them.
This situation made the two even more confused, and they didn't know why the people in this village were so afraid of people.
Fortunately, Mao Dazhuang was also in the crowd at this time, and saw Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng hurriedly coming over and said to them: "Zhou Gongzi, Bai Girl, get up so early, why don't you sleep for a while?"
"Brother Mao is early, we heard movement outside, so come and take a look," Chu Ziheng said.
"Da Zhuang, these two are" At this time, an older old man walked over and frowned at Mao Dazhuang.
"Fifth grandfather, these are the two nobles who stayed at my house last night, the white girl has good medical skills, and she also cured my Lan'er's illness" Mao Dazhuang said to the old man.
When the old man heard this, his face suddenly softened: "It's really cured of your girl, and your girl has been sick for a long time."
"Yes, Lan'er has never been sick since she drank the medicine prescribed by the white girl yesterday", Mao Dazhuang had a happy face with Lan'er's illness, and the couple could be regarded as having a big heart disease.
"That old man has also thanked Zhou Gongzi and Bai Maiden here," the old man said to Chu Ziheng and Ruoyun.

Chu Ziheng and Ruoyun hurriedly returned the salute, saying that they were not welcome.
Then Chu Ziheng asked again: "Fifth Master Mao, Brother Mao, what is going on here, why are so many people crying here?"
The two of them were stunned when they heard this, and sighed at the same time, the fifth master Mao's eyes flashed, and he shook his head and said, "Don't ask, the two of us are always useless as elders" and then shook their heads and left.
Mao Dazhuang, on the other hand, was a little speechless, looked at the scene in the field, shook his head, sighed and said: "It's cold outside, let's go back to the house, I'll let the child and her mother make some food for the two of you."
Chu Ziheng and Ruoyun were slightly stunned, and they were even more curious, why were the people in this Maojia Village so mysterious and never mentioned what happened here.
However, at this time, Mao Dazhuang asked them to go back, and he didn't want them to know, this was a matter in other people's villages, and they didn't want them to know, so they couldn't stay here, so they had to nod and agree with Mao Dazhuang's words.
However, if Yun could feel that Chu Ziheng didn't want to leave, he should have seen that the people in this village were living so poorly, in fact, he was already a little unhappy in his heart.
After all, his father is still a Ming monarch, and he has been reducing taxes all these years, and now the people under the rule of Dachu should not be so poor, not to mention that they can have enough food and clothing, so when he saw this scene, he had some doubts and chagrin in his heart.
Ruoyun patted his arm lightly and motioned for him to go back first.
Chu Ziheng nodded, but Mao Dazhuang breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to walk back with them, but he heard a commotion in the crowd.
Chu Ziheng Huo Ran turned his head and saw a pair of carriages and horses coming on the road in the distance, people saw this team of carriages and horses rioting, and the girls in the crowd not only cried more fiercely when they saw this team of carriages and horses.
Chu Ziheng didn't leave when he saw this team of carts and horses, staring at it deadly, he had an intuition that he could find some of the answers he wanted on this team of carts and horses.
Mao Dazhuang saw that Chu Ziheng was not leaving, he wanted to speak and stopped, and wanted to speak, but he saw Ruoyun shaking his head at him, and gave him a look that was not afraid and was okay.
Mao Dazhuang was suddenly shocked in his heart, he looked at Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng's general style, and suddenly thought, maybe Bai Girl and Zhou Gongzi are not ordinary people, maybe they can help them this time.
When Mao Dazhuang was thinking about it, the team of carriages and horses had already come to a stop when they approached, and then a little girl got out of the car, and the little girl turned around and helped down a chubby middle-aged woman.
The appearance of this middle-aged woman immediately became a standout existence She was dressed in a red brocade embroidered cotton jacket, wearing three golden hairpins on her head, holding a pink handkerchief in her hand, her face was white and red, very rich, and she was really brilliant in front of a group of villagers with yellow faces and thin muscles and embarrassed clothes.
After she got out of the car, as if disgusted by the smell here, she took a handkerchief and slapped around her nose a few times, then rolled her eyes and glared at the surrounding villagers, before she was helped by the little girl to walk to the circle surrounded by people.
"Oh, I'll take a look, what's good this time," said the fat woman.
"Those who are going to go with us Aunt Hua this time, why don't you hurry up here and stand in a row, so that we can take a good look at Aunt Hua," the little girl shouted at the crying girls.
The girls were suddenly stunned by her shout, and they didn't dare to move.
"Why, I don't want to, our Aunt Hua doesn't have much time to spend here with you on this cold day, there are several villages behind, if you don't want to, we can go" The little girl shouted sharply.
The fat woman named Aunt Hua was quite useful, and she couldn't help nodding, her chin was raised very high, and she looked like she was dustless under her eyes, and she turned around to leave.
"Aunt Hua stays, and slowly, that's good, that's good" Mao Wuye, who was talking to Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng just now, hurriedly stepped forward to accompany the smiling face, and then glanced at the villagers behind him.
Only then were the girls pushed in front of Aunt Hua by the family and lined up in a row, waiting for her to check.
The flower aunt held the little girl, looked up and down around these girls, pinched this from time to time, touched that, some of those girls were already crying out in fright, and some of them were still gritting their teeth, but their bodies were already trembling.
After turning around, the flower aunt, with some disgust on her face, said: "These goods are really not as good as one time, but who called me kind, I will take away three taels of silver per person."
"Three taels of silver and flowers, Aunt Hua was five taels last month, why did she lose two taels all of a sudden" Some women jumped up and said noisily when they heard this, "What is the quarrel, five taels of silver was last month, now it is freezing cold, people are not good to transport out, I still have to raise them for the winter, I can have three taels of silver is also my mercy" Aunt Hua glared at her eyes and said.
"I'm not selling, I'm not selling, my Lier won't go with you" A woman jumped up and pulled out a girl.
When Aunt Hua saw that this girl was pulled away, a look of innocence flashed on her face, because this girl was the best among these girls, if she trained her well, whether she was sold to a big family as a girl, or sold to a building in the south for a good price, this is dozens of times more profitable "Hmph, why are you waiting for me to beg you, who doesn't know that my Aunt Hua's price is the fairest, and the girl's place can't be wrong, if it doesn't sell this time, your man will wait to be caught" Although Aunt Hua was very concerned about the girl, she didn't show it at all.
And the woman who was holding her daughter, when she heard that the man in the family was going to be arrested, her face suddenly turned pale, and her lips trembled and she couldn't speak.
At this time, how could Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng not see what was going on, this was obviously the villagers selling their daughters, r1152 aa2705221:
