The days after the New Year passed by especially fast. There was nothing to do in winter. Every day, we just ate and slept, and slept and ate.
The children at home were noisy in the house every day. When the snow stopped outside, they were let out to play in the yard. Sometimes Chen Hong and her friends would bring the kids with them. A group of half-grown kids could blow the roof off.
It was boring to be idle at home at this time, and there was nothing to do. Thinking of the most popular mahjong in the previous life, Cao Xiangnan thought about making a set of mahjong with Cao Gang and others, and taught everyone to play mahjong. In the end, the mahjong table became the exclusive use of a few brothers. Even his family's Wanfeng fell in love with playing mahjong. A few brothers played at the same table and played vigorously every day.
Wait, bang!
Ziyu, you have such a good hand today." Sun Bailian's eyes were full of envy and jealousy. She held her mouth and counted the copper plates in the drawer. Aning and Wanfeng also counted the copper plates. There was not much difference between the copper plates in their drawers. Fang Ziye smiled and said nothing. He was quite happy in his heart. He collected the copper plates and thought playing mahjong was quite interesting.
After coming here, he was in a difficult mood. He lived a happy life here. His Baoer could talk and run. He was a happy child every day. You will be infected unconsciously when you see the smile on his little face. If possible, Fang Ziye wants him to stay here forever, watching his baby grow up, not thinking about anything, so he won’t be so painful and confused.
The next round of mahjong started soon. People’s intelligence is revealed at the mahjong table. Several people play mahjong every day. Sun Bailian’s luck and card skills are the worst among them. Even if everyone lets him win all day, he still can’t win a few games
.
The rest of the brothers could still tie to see who had better luck, and each of them was more skilled than the other. However, they played mahjong just for fun, not for big games, but to count the coins. They played to kill time every day, and they played for fun. The room was warm this day, and the brothers chatted while playing mahjong, which was quite leisurely. There were tea and snacks on hand, and the servants would pour hot tea and add a plate of snacks from time to time.
The brothers at home went to play mahjong, and the children became men.
The men at home would not have any objection to their brothers playing mahjong. They would drink some wine and eat some peanuts and chestnuts while chatting with each other.
The greedy children would come to ask for food from time to time, and they would give the roasted peanuts and chestnuts to the children, and then they would stop bothering them.
At this time, Cao Xiangnan heard Wang Dahu talking about the last battle of Zhenmen Pass.
"With a loud bang, we opened the gate of Zhenmen Pass with a bang. We beat the Dizi slave army and they had nowhere to escape. They fled everywhere and ran out of the north gate..." Wang Dahu was very excited when he talked about the last battle of Zhenmen Pass.
They were able to win this battle so quickly, thanks to the thing that could blow open the city gate with one shot. Speaking of this, Wang Dahu looked at Cao Xiangnan and asked, "Xiangnan, that earth bomb thing was given to Wang...the emperor by you, right?"
Cao Xiangnan smiled but said nothing.
Zhenmen Pass was massacred by Zinu, and all the people in the city were killed. Knowing that Wang Dahu and his men had returned from Zhenmen Pass, they must know the situation there, so Cao Xiangnan asked about it.
"What else can we do? There are troops stationed there from the court, and they are just waiting for the emperor to find a way to arrange for more people to go there." Not only was there no one left in Zhenmen Pass, but people from many cities and villages in the north had all fled. "Wang Dahu peeled a chestnut and put it in Liu Baishu's hand, then peeled another for himself and put it into his mouth, "Why, are you interested there?" he asked.
"I heard that there are many good horses outside the Great Wall, and Zinu is best at raising horses, right? "Dafeng's horses are not as tall as the horses raised by Zinu outside the Great Wall. You have to know that in the past, a precious horse from outside the Great Wall could be sold for thousands of taels of silver, and even an ordinary horse could be sold for more than ten or twenty taels. If they could have a horse farm outside and raise thousands of fine horses, it would definitely be a lucrative business!" Wang Dahu couldn't figure out how those barbarians in Zinu could raise such good horses. They suffered a loss in the war with Zinu because their horses were taller than Dafeng's. They fell behind as soon as the two sides fought, and they lost before the battle even started.
Dafeng did not kill all the Zinu, there are still some Zinu living outside the pass, it is not difficult for them to hire servants to raise horses. After this war, it will take a hundred years for Zinu to make a comeback. Now that the situation is stable, they can still fight for the north. Cao Xiangnan naturally has some other ideas in his mind. Instead of racking his brains to do business in Fengdu, he might as well go outside the pass. While others have not reacted, he can still take the lead.
Wang Dahu and his people are familiar with the inside and outside of Zhenmen Pass. They have brothers and connections there. It is most suitable for them to do business in Zhenmen Pass.
Cao Xiangnan winked at Wang Dahu and said to them with a smile, "And your brothers, after the war, the court will definitely not need so many soldiers, and they will have nowhere to go, don't you think?"
He had a grasp of Cao Gang's lifeline and knew that this man valued feelings the most. He thought that as a general, he would just be a hunter when he returned to Caojia Village. The rest of his brothers would all farm when they returned to their hometown. They depended on the weather for their livelihood. When God was in a good mood, the harvest would be better. If they encountered natural disasters or man-made disasters, they would not even be able to fill their stomachs. It would be better to think of a separate way out. At least they would work together. Not to mention becoming rich, they could still have a meal with their brothers.
What do you think? This business is good, don't you want to work together? "Cao Xiangnan had a smile on his face. He had a feeling that they would really get rich if they did this job well.
In the past, they had always been doing small things. It would be better to take advantage of this time to do something big and then retire. It happened that the children would be grown up by then. They had never seen the beautiful mountains and rivers of Dayong when they came here. While they could still walk, he could go out with the evening breeze to take a look. A man could not spend his whole life guarding one place. The world is so big, he still had to go out and see it a little.
"Fuck! I'll do it!" Wang Dahu was the first to respond.
Cao Gang nodded and replied in a deep voice, "Fuck."
Wang Dahu nodded, and Liu Baishu smiled and nodded, saying, "Count me in. "
Cao Xiangnan raised the wine bowl in his hand, Cao Gang raised his wine bowl and touched it to him, then it was Wang Dahu and Liu Baishu. The men looked at each other and shouted, "Drink!"
The men playing mahjong over there saw the men who were drinking and drinking and drank until they drank all the wine. Qi Wanfeng said curiously, "These guys must have drunk too much. "She kept her eyes on her husband and did not forget to pick up the cards.
Fang Ziye picked up a card. He did not hear what they were talking about, but he could vaguely sense that they had discussed something big. He had a smile on his face, but he did not care.
Aning and Sun Bailian cared even less about the men's affairs.
The men over there were talking about their own affairs, while the brothers were playing mahjong. They did not stop playing mahjong until dinner was ready, and then they cleaned up. The brothers played mahjong for half a day, and only when they stood up did they feel their bones were stiff.
You can’t keep hitting me like this tomorrow.” Aning stretched his waist, and felt that his old waist couldn’t bear it anymore. He pinched his lower back twice and said, “My waist hurts.” His waist started to hurt when he was pregnant with Xuanxuan in the later months, and he still felt it after he gave birth to Xuanxuan... Thinking of the days in Prince Duan’s mansion, Su Yining stopped and didn’t want to think about the past.
But the more people try not to think about it, the more they can’t help but think about that time.
Later, the mansion invited the imperial physician from the palace to prescribe good medicine for his waist, and then he didn’t hurt anymore. It was not until he left the mansion and went out that he felt pain occasionally. Maybe it was because his life was too hard, and he felt pain occasionally. Today, it was so painful. After sitting for several days, he felt a dull pain again.
Fang Ziye nodded, thinking that he was uncomfortable because he had been sitting for too long. The little servant saw that his master was not feeling well and wanted to go over to help him, but Fang Ziye waved his hands, saying that he was not so weak that he could not walk a few steps.
However, he vaguely felt that something was wrong with his body these days, but he himself could not tell what was wrong, and this feeling made him feel a little strange in his heart.
"That's right, don't beat him tomorrow." Qi Wanfeng responded, and he also felt that beating him like this would not work.
Baoer ran to hug Am's legs, looking up without saying a word. Qi Wanfeng looked down at the little guy, bent over, picked him up and put him on the small chair where he ate, and told Baoer to finish while he went to get him food.
Baoer sat there obediently, but not long after he was quiet, his little butt started to move.
"Sit tight!" Cao Ruile crawled to the side and sat down, looking at the moving Baoer, and said with a wooden face.
"Baoer was even more excited when he saw Baoer.
... Cao Ruile.
"You can't sit there for too long. Don't sit there all day playing mahjong. It's okay to play occasionally, but you will suffer if you play for too long. I think tomorrow's weather is good, so let's go out and play. The year has passed, and winter will soon be over." Mahjong is new and fun to learn. Cao Xiangnan saw that they had been playing mahjong for so many days and had become obsessed with it. Fortunately, he knew that it was not that bad yet. The last snow will fall, and spring will come." Qi Wanfeng said.
That's right." Cao Xiangnan put the last dish of fried food on the table. It was indeed very cold at this time after the year. We have to wait until the snow outside melts before the real spring comes. Year after year, time passes quickly.
Everyone sat down around the table to eat. The adults served the children first before they started eating. The sound of children talking could be heard from time to time in the room.
