LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 230 Snow in June
Baina stayed at Chang's house.
I give lectures to Long Baoer and the others every day.
He had just turned into a human form, but he had lived for several hundred years. Although converted into human years, he is fifteen or sixteen years old, but the years he has lived are real.
Apart from practicing, he also likes reading.
It was a book from my sister Xu Yingying's family. It was left by my sister's biological father, who would teach them some things since they were young.
A little girl and a disembodied little white fox listened to their parents reading together.
So there is no problem in teaching a few children to read and arithmetic.
And Long Baoer and the others did not return to Xue's house.
Although General Xue and his wife are back, they have been away for so long, and they still need to organize their affairs.
This would take several months, so it was better to let the children stay at their grandfather's house.
Now that July is here, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
Suddenly something big happened in the court.
It wasn't the imperial court, but local officials reported that it was snowing in July.
July, snow?
The snowfall in June is already exaggerated, let alone July.
According to folklore, the snow falling in June is a sign of grievance.
Isn’t it a strange injustice to have snow in July?
After local officials reported the incident, it aroused heated discussion in the court.
Among them, Zhenyuan Bo Chang Maozhi, who seemed to be fishing every day, also frowned secretly this time.
Isn't this place where Xuan'er went?
This kid went to this place called Yellowstone City a few months ago when the weather was still cold. He went with his boss to investigate a case.
But a few months passed, and at first there were letters exchanged, but in the past month there has not been a single letter.
He and his second brother Chang Maoming were thinking about this boy before, fearing that he ran away deliberately to avoid being seen by him.
Otherwise, it would just be to donate a job to him and let him hang out in various ministries and get familiar with the officialdom. How could he still be sent abroad?
But now, something like this has happened in Huangshi City, and Chang Maozhi doesn't dare to think like this.
He had even begun to worry about his son.
With such an uneasy mood, Chang Maozhi returned home.
However, Chang Maoming has not returned home today. Chang Maozhi's sad face was not only visible to the old lady and Ning, but also the younger generation looked at each other.
Because although my eldest uncle often has a straight face outside, he is very kind to these juniors and will not ignore them at all.
Today, several of them talked to their uncle, but the other party ignored them, and they just stood there in a daze.
"Maozhi, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Chang Maoming once again lost in thought at the dinner table, the old lady couldn't help but speak.
She could see the worried look on her daughter-in-law's face.
She knew that her daughter-in-law had always been sensible, and if her eldest son didn't tell her, she might not ask him again and again.
As a mother, please help her.
"Mom, it's okay, I'm just thinking about official business." Chang Maozhi said.
The old lady sighed inwardly. Sure enough, this guy didn't tell the truth.
"Business, huh." The old lady snorted, "Do you think your mother is stupid?"
This boy has been reporting good things but not bad things since he was a child.
What you can worry about now is definitely not a trivial matter.
The affairs of the court are important, but there is no need to hide it from the family. With things like this now, I'm afraid they can't keep this matter separate.
Now that his son-in-law Xue Qingsong and his daughter Chang Chun have just returned from the border safely, this matter naturally has nothing to do with them.
The youngest son, Chang Maoming, has also been in Beijing these days and has nothing major going on.
That is to say, when I came back later tonight, my youngest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Cao, had already received the letter and had just informed her that someone was inviting her to a drink.
This matter is even less likely to be related to Chang Maozhi himself.
The biggest thing related to him in the court is that he should be dismissed from office, but his idle position is irrelevant. If he were really suspended, he would probably be able to buy some food and wine to celebrate today.
After much deliberation, the old lady couldn't guess that something happened to the younger generation, right?
Thinking of this, the old lady suddenly felt a thump in her heart.
The juniors are all here, but her grandson Chang Xuan is not.
Could it be Xuan'er?
The old lady glanced at Ning subconsciously, and saw that the other person's eyes were filled with nervousness, and he was obviously thinking about her.
"Boss, after dinner, go to my place." The old lady said with a sinking face.
Chang Maozhi also knew that he could no longer hide it, so he nodded with a grimace.
After dinner, Chang Maozhi and Ning went to the old lady's side together.
The old lady waved her hand and asked the maids to leave.
"Tell me, what happened? Is it related to Xuan'er?"
The old lady's words made Ning immediately tighten the handkerchief in her hand and look at Chang Maozhi nervously.
Don't blame her for losing her composure now. It's really because her children are out and she is worrying about her mother.
She has given birth to two children in her life, and her youngest daughter died at a young age. Fortunately, Long Baoer is here now, which gives her some sustenance.
The eldest son is already sixteen or seventeen years old. If something happens again, it will cost her life.
Holding the handkerchief tightly, Ning's palms were covered in cold sweat, but she stared at Chang Maozhi without daring to blink.
Chang Maozhi sighed.
Ning almost fainted.
"Madam, madam!" Chang Maozhi quickly stretched out his hand to support his wife, "Don't worry, I'm worried too, and I haven't got any definite news."
"What's going on?"
Chang Maoming spoke slowly, "Today someone sent a memorial to the court, saying that due to the heavy snowfall in Huangshi City in July, the people in the city were uneasy and had no place to complain about their grievances."
"What does this have to do with Xuan'er?" Ning said in confusion. "When did he go to Yellowstone?"
"Xuan'er went out with his boss to investigate the case a few months ago. As they moved forward, there were letters sent before, but there were no letters this month, and his next stop was Huangshi city."
This time both the old lady and Ning were silent.
Chang Xuan went to investigate the case.
The place we went to was Yellowstone City.
And now that there is snow in Yellowstone City in July, there may be some serious case or strange injustice.
that……
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
Although some people have been wronged, they are naturally more worried about their children, who may have been involved in this case.
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, "Brother, you are here!"
