Dress up as a hot farm wife, take care of her cubs and raise her husband to farm

After several heavy snowfalls in succession, the temperature in the capital plummeted.

Cheng Xue had the illusion that she was in Liaodong. It was said that the capital was so cold for the first time since Liang Yan founded the dynasty.

If it’s so cold in the capital, wouldn’t it be even colder in the north? !

I thought that the cold would be fine after two or three days, but the cold lasted for half a month.

Just as she expected, Bai Pian passed by the house that day, knelt down and saluted, and said:
"Madam, I have just received news that the northern border has suffered a major cold disaster that has not happened in a century this year. I am afraid that we will have to add some charcoal to the supplies we sent to the military camp."

"Then add more. Add more." Cheng Xue nodded without hesitation, "I've also prepared a lot of pills to treat typhoid fever. I'll ask Yong Xi to get them for you later."

"Yes, the slave has taken note of it. There is another one. Mrs. Gu went to the store today to find the slave and wants to make an appointment with you to meet in the store."

"If you refuse her, just say that I am busy preparing supplies for the northern garrison camp and have no time to pay attention to her."

"My slave understands."

After Bai Zian finished speaking, he took out the written list from his sleeves and put his hands on the table.

"The eldest lady has also prepared some, and the servants have written on them. If Madam has no objection, after buying the charcoal, let the convoy transport it to the north."

"Okay, give it away with a big fanfare. It's best to let everyone in the capital know about it, and the red banners on both sides should be hung up. The name of our store should be clearly written on the red background and black letters. Do you understand?"

"Ma'am, please don't worry, I will take care of it."

Seeing that she knew what she was doing, Cheng Xue got up and took her to the pharmacy, where she ordered the boy to carry all the pills and divided herbs into the car.

"Why don't you go with the car this time? You didn't go when Bai Guo got married. If you have a chance, you can go to the north and see if you can identify the door. Don't worry about the store, I will send someone to keep an eye on it for a few days."

"No ma'am, I..."

"Go, you are sisters, it's a good thing to move around more."

Bai Qian also missed his sister very much. Seeing that she really let him go, he knelt down on his knees, kowtowed three times and said:

"Thank you, madam, for your consideration. I will come back as soon as you can."

"Go and go back there. Why are you going back there? You can celebrate the New Year there and the sisters can have a good time together. If you don't want to live in their house, go to the dim sum house. You don't know Hongyun, but you know Shuangxi."

"Yes, I have taken note of this," Bai Qian said with joy.

The two came out of the pharmacy. It had been cold for several days, and finally it started to snow.

The goose-feather heavy snow was flying all over the sky, and soon a thin layer was accumulated on the ground. If we continue at this level, it won't be long before the road will be closed. By then, we won't have a chance to buy charcoal, so we can't waste any more time.

Thinking of this, Bai Qian bowed his knees and said:

"Madam, I will go back to buy charcoal first and come back to say goodbye to you before setting off."

"Go quickly, don't seal off the city and roads. The charcoal sellers can't come in, and the charcoal buyers have no place to buy it."

Both of them were worried about the same thing, so Bai Qian hurried out.

In less than a stick of incense, a lot of snow had accumulated on the ground. If it had been summer, the yard would have accumulated water after such a heavy rain.

All the servants in the mansion went out to clear the snow on the roof and the ground. At first, it was once an hour, and then it was changed to once every half an hour. It was like this in the government, and even more so in the city. In addition, adults from various departments of the imperial court all traveled by carriage, and the congestion on the roads in the city was beyond words. Li Hui had the foresight to ask Dexi to send the carriage back in advance when the snow was heavy. After work, he took the people back on foot, only about a stick of incense later than usual.

"...You didn't see that when I walked back, our servant Liu Berson was still blocking me there. His house is obviously the closest to the Ministry of Household Affairs, but he just didn't come down and leave. It's so inconvenient to see that shelf being served to you."

Listening to his endless complaints, Cheng Xue put vegetables into his bowl and sighed:
"Do you think every bad man will have a good wife? His wife came here yesterday, and I thought she was here to deliver a message, but I didn't expect that she just came over to chat about family matters, and didn't mention anything. She was very kind. "

Li Hui paused while eating, then nodded and said:

"It's possible. Mrs. Liu is the legitimate daughter of Mr. Shan. It is said that Mr. Shan once managed the Ministry of Justice and never made any mistakes. The daughter taught by such a strict and upright person will definitely not make mistakes. Liu Berson is a phoenix man. Damn it. With the Yue family gaining momentum, but doting on his concubines and destroying his wife, it can only be said that Mrs. Liu doesn't want to see him, otherwise things would have started a long time ago."

She is the legitimate daughter of a noble family and the head mistress of the house. If she really wants to keep a concubine and care whether the man will agree to it, she will always find an opportunity to do it. As for "loving concubines and destroying wives", it is understandable that the natal family is not so strong. Considering the current favor of the Shan family, Liu Berson's arrogance can only be said to be intentional by his wife.

It's not clear why this is the case. After all, it's a matter between the couple.

The two chatted while eating, enjoying the rare silence of this moment.

After a hearty exercise in the evening, Li Hui held him in his arms and said with satisfaction:

"Daughter-in-law, I will take your little notebook to file a complaint tomorrow."

"Is it really early? Didn't you say you would wait until the twelfth lunar month to seal it?"

"There's no reason for this." Li Hui replied with a smile, "It's snowing so heavily today, and the Street Department under the Ministry of Works didn't clean up in time, causing congestion in the city. What a great opportunity to get involved."

"But I think it's hard enough that it's your turn." Cheng Xue reminded bluntly.

Li Hui naturally understood, "Haha..." chuckled:

"It's just because it's not my turn that I have to use a small book. After all, the lady of the Ministry of Industry and Industry comes frequently, and there are a lot of them."

Seeing that he already had an idea, Cheng Xue stood up, took the notebook from the bed and handed it to him.

"Is it okay to just go to the imperial court and complain?"

"Okay, why not. Zhou Fang and Qing Lin know about this, and two foreign ministers from the Ministry of Industry and a minister from the Ministry of Punishment will help."

"Help? What are they helping? Did these people also go to them to deliver the message?" Cheng Xue asked in confusion.

Li Hui shrugged, hugged the person back into his arms, and said:
"It has nothing to do with the transfer. The main reason is that the Ministry of Accounts has owed a lot of bad debts over the years. I pointed it out. Naturally, they all wanted to get involved and settle the debts. Wife, I only found out recently, Their salary renewal has not been enough for several years, and in the end they are not as good as our northern border."

When Cheng Xue heard this, she twitched the corners of her mouth twice, clasped her fingers and said:

"Zhou Fang, the Ministry of Personnel. You, the Ministry of Husbandry. Qinglin, the Ministry of Rites. There are also the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment. Of the six ministries, only one is the Ministry of War."

"There is a Ministry of War. The Minister of the Ministry of War will speak in person tomorrow."

"Okay, then you have to sing well in the big show tomorrow. I'll be waiting for the letter at home."

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."

After Li Hui finished speaking, he turned over and suppressed the person. With the sound of "whirring..." the wind outside, it happened again... (End of this chapter)
