It was already a little cold in November, and there was frost on the ground.

Zi Su rubbed his hands and said, "Madam, the weather here is much colder than in the capital. "At the beginning of the month, Shiso came back on an errand. However, this will not be to serve Yuxi closely, but to manage the accounts of the inner courtyard. If Guo Xun has time, he will go back together, and if he doesn't have time, he will stay in Yunfu.

Zi Jin sighed and said, "Is it cold? Why do I think it's warmer here than in the capital?" This is her true feeling, not a fight with Zisu.

Yuxi smiled, pointed to the golden pear on the table and said, "This pear is a specialty here, you can taste it, it tastes very good." ”

Zi Jin was not polite, walked forward and took a cleaned pear and took a bite, chewed two bites and nodded again and again, and couldn't spit out clearly: "It's delicious." ”

Yuxi said with a smile: "No one is robbing you, why are you in such a hurry to eat?" This girl, when she was in the capital before, the rules were quite good, but when she arrived in the northwest, she was frizzy. It's just that Yuxi is generally not harsh. Anyway, Yu Zhi doesn't mind, she doesn't care.

Zi Jin said, "Madam, how many more?" I'll bring two for Yu Zhi to eat later." After finishing speaking, he looked at Zisu and said, "Later, Sister Zisu, you will also bring two for Guo Xun to taste." ”

Yuxi smiled: "Master Yang has already sent it over. "Although Master Yang is protecting her, but the particularity of his identity, Yuxi doesn't dare to really treat him as a guard, but treats him as an adult, and he will send some delicious food over on weekdays.

Zi Su smiled and said, "How can you protect yourself like this before you get married?" In fact, Zi Su was a little envious in her heart, although Zi Jin did not marry Yu Zhi, she was as good as a person with Yu Zhi. When they meet each other, they chatter non-stop, and instructing Yu Zhilai is like instructing the little girl below. And although she and Guo Xun got married, the two didn't have anything to say, and they always felt like there was a kind of estrangement. But Shisu knew that she was actually pretty good now. The case of the violet, after all, is special.

Zi Jin didn't twist at all, and said: "Married or not, not all are the same, they are all family." Even if she didn't get married, she still treated Master Yang and Yu Zhi as family. Don't look at Zi Jin always screaming in the old Yang's head, in fact, he respects her as a father.

Yu Xile couldn't do it: "That's what you say, but if you let others hear it, you will feel that you are not ashamed or impatient." ”

Zi Jin cut a sound: "The mouth grows on them, they can say it if they want to, anyway, I won't lose a piece of meat." "She just has a good life, and she doesn't care what she does. If you think about what others think of you every day, you must not die of exhaustion.

Yuxi nodded and smiled: "This is reasonable." "No one in this world can be perfect, and perfect people are only in books and legends.

Yun Qing walked into the courtyard and saw Yu Xi talking to Zi Jin about this, his face was full of smiles, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but feel better.

Yuxi felt something, looked towards the door, and saw Yunqing. He walked out with a smile and said, "Are things done?" Now the weather is getting colder and there are fewer battles, but that doesn't mean there are fewer things. On the contrary, there are more things, the main thing is to pay attention to the cold. The money given by the imperial court is not enough, and if it is not enough, they have to find a way to solve it themselves.

Yuxi also learned from Yunqing's side how hard the soldiers in the border city lived. Not to mention that the military salary could not be paid in time, the food was not good, and the clothing was not warm enough, so in this way, he had to go to the battlefield to fight. But these soldiers did not complain at all, which made Yuxi especially moved.

Yunqing shook his head and said, "No, I'll come back and see you." "He hasn't been home for more than ten days, and he thinks about his wife and children so much, so he comes back to take a look.

Yuxi was very happy to hear this, pulled Yunqing into the house, took the clothes made for Yunqing from the box, and said, "Put it on and try it on." ”

Don't look at Yunqing as a third-grade general, but there are few sets of clothes, and they are not particular at all, either black or cyan or vermilion, the colors are very deep, and people are old-fashioned. After Yuxi got married, he made him several clothes. However, he knew that Yunqing was thrifty, so he didn't do much, so he made four or five bodies, so there was also a change of washing.

This time, Yuxi made a dark fur for Yunqing, which looked particularly heroic when worn on the body. Yuxi was a little depressed and said: "At that time, there were still a few good skins in the box, if they hadn't been snatched away by those bandits, they could have made you better clothes." "Yunqing is wearing this garment now, which is made of a few pieces of fox skin.

Although Yunqing was happy that Yuxi was always thinking about himself, he took it off and asked, "Have you made clothes for yourself?"

Yuxi smiled: "It's done, I made a rat skin coat, and I also made several padded jackets." Seeing Yunqing frowning, he explained: "Anyway, I won't go out in the winter, and I'll make a few more leather jackets when I buy good skins next year, and forget it this year." "I thought there were a lot of skins in the northwest, but when I got here, I realized that there were a lot of skins here, but they were all sheepskins and cowhides. Yuxi doesn't like these two types of skins and thinks they taste, while the other skins have to be booked in advance, otherwise good skins won't be available. Yuxi suffered this loss, she didn't buy a good one, and she didn't want to settle, she would rather wear a padded jacket!

Yunqing didn't say anything when he heard it: "There is no shortage of that money, don't wronged yourself." "There's no way to make Yuxi feel like she is in the capital, but it's okay to eat and dress warmly.

Yuxi smiled and said: "What kind of stupid thing are you talking about? No matter what, we don't lack money for clothes! I don't like those skins, and I will make them when I buy them next year, and I will definitely make more clothes when the time comes." "She's not a big spender, but she's not bad at treating herself.

Yun Qing nodded slightly.

Yuxi said again: "By the way, I heard Hao Dazhuang say that every winter, there are many old people and children who freeze to death from frostbite. I want to ask someone to make 1,000 sets of cotton clothes and trousers, and when the time comes, send them to the homes of your subordinates who are in difficulty, what do you think?" But if it is given to the homes of soldiers whose families are in difficulty, the meaning is different.

Yunqing looked at Yuxi, shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate." "It's going to be considered buying people's hearts.

Yuxi smiled and said, "What's wrong? When I was in the capital before, my mother had to buy rice soup porridge every winter. Now it's just a set of cotton clothes and pants, what can others say? And if someone follows suit, wouldn't it be a great thing. "I've been with Qiu's side for a long time, and I've also been affected, and I want to do more good deeds and accumulate merit.

Yunqing also felt that he had too many concerns, thought for a while and said, "If you want to do it, then do it!" Yuxi has this heart, and he should support it, not discourage this enthusiasm.

This matter, Yuxi was going to hand it over to Hao Dazhuang to do. After this period of contact, Yuxi also learned that Hao Dazhuang was a righteous person, and since this was the case, there was nothing to worry about.

Hao Dazhuang asked, "Madam, I don't think it's appropriate to do this. In addition to the old people and children, young people have hands and feet, and they can come out to work to support themselves. And the elderly and children, a set of cotton clothes and cotton pants will not help them much. ”

This is quite true, but Yuxi likes such real people, and after thinking about it for a while, Yuxi said: "Do you think this is possible, I will build a temporary school, accept children under the age of ten and over five years old, be responsible for three meals, and then ask Mr. to teach them to read and write." ”

Hao Dazhuang thought this idea was very good, but he added: "Children over the age of ten in Yucheng have to be thousands if not tens of thousands, where can a temporary school be stuffed." After a pause, he said, "However, if there are preconditions, then it is a different matter. ”

How quickly Yuxi reacted, and immediately heard the meaning of Hao Dazhuang's words: "You mean that the school only accepts orphans?"

Hao Dazhuang nodded and said, "Well, otherwise there are too many people." "Although Madame has the heart to do good, she also has to do what she can. Otherwise, even if you dig out your family, you won't be able to do it.

Yuxi nodded: "This method is good, but there must be a specific charter." First of all, we have to determine how many people we will receive, so that we can choose a house and buy food and a few gentlemen, and we have to prepare a sand table. "If you want to learn, you have to spend pen, ink, paper, and paper. But this thing is so expensive everywhere that ordinary people can't afford it. Yuxi can afford it, but if there are many people, the consumption of a day is amazing, even if she has few assets, she can't afford it.

Hao Dazhuang didn't understand: "What is the sand table?"

Yuxi said with a smile: "It's to use a square box with sand in it, and when the time comes, you can use branches to write on the sand, and you don't need to spend pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and you can also learn to write." ”

Hao Dazhuang smiled and said, "Madam is so smart. "It's really a problem, and it's too expensive to provide it yourself. But if they had to pay for it themselves, they would definitely not be able to afford it.

Yuxi smiled and said, "I also saw it from a book. "Raising the next generation is much better than giving porridge and cotton clothes and pants.

Hao Dazhuang still said sincerely: "Madame can apply what she has learned, which is amazing." And Madame's kindness is really rare. "If it is said that the gift of cotton clothes and cotton pants has an element of drama, then running a temporary school is enough to show that Mrs. sincerely wants to do good deeds and wants to contribute to those families in need.

Yuxi smiled and said, "When you come to the door, you have to remind them that what is taught in the academy is very simple. As far as Yuxi knows, very few children here can read, so Yuxi is just preparing to enlighten them, and the others don't think much about it for the time being.

Hao Dazhuang has no objection to this, but this gentleman is not easy to find: "Madam, I can do everything else, but there is nothing that can be done about this Mr. Zhao's subordinates." "This person who reads and reads is so high that he can't do it, and he, a big old man, was definitely kicked out.

Yuxi smiled and said, "I'll solve this matter." "It's just enlightenment, how hard it can be. R1148
