In November, it was already a little cold, and the ground was frosted.
The Perilla rubbed her hand and said, "madam, it's much colder here than in the capital." At the beginning of the month, perilla came back to work. However, this meeting is not to serve Yuxi personally, but to manage the accounts of the inner court. If Guo Xun has time, he will go back together. If he has no time, he will stay in Yunfu.
The Corydalis said, "is it cold? Why do I think it's warmer here than in Beijing? " This is her real feeling, not to fight with Perilla.
Yuxi laughed, pointed to the golden pear on the table and said, "this pear is a specialty here. You can taste it. It's delicious."
Corydalis is not polite. She took a clean pear and bit it. She even nodded her head after chewing it. She couldn't pronounce clearly: "delicious."
Yuxi jokingly said: "no one grabs from you. What are you doing in such a hurry?" This girl, when she was in the capital before, the rules were very good. When she arrived in the northwest, she was impetuous. But Yuxi was not critical either. Anyway, Yu Zhi doesn't mind. She doesn't care.
"How much more, madam?" said the pansy? I'll bring two for Yu later. " Having said that, he looked at the perilla and said, "sister perilla, you'll bring two for Guo Xun to have a taste."
Yuxi said with a smile: "master Yang has already sent it there." Master Yang is protecting her, but because of the particularity of her identity, Yuxi doesn't dare to treat him as a guard. Instead, she treats him as an elder. She will send some delicious food to her everyday.
Purple perilla said with a smile: "this has not married in the past to protect like this?" In fact, zisu is envious. Although she is not close to Yu Zhicheng, she is as good as a person. When they meet each other, they chatter incessantly, and it's just like the little servant girl below. Although she and Guo Xun are married, they have nothing to say. It seems that there is a kind of estrangement between them. But zisu knows that she is pretty good now. The case of Corydalis, after all, is special.
Corydalis did not mince, said: "married or not, not all the same, are a family." Even without engagement, she treats master Yang and Yu Zhi as family members. Although Corydalis is always called by Lao Yang, in fact, she is respected as a father.
Yuxile said: "that's what I said, but if you let others hear it, you will feel shameless and impetuous."
Corydalis cut a: "mouth long in their body, they want to say, anyway, I will not drop a piece of meat." It's good for her to live a comfortable life and care what she does. If you think about what others think of you every day, you can't be exhausted.
Yuxi nodded and said with a smile, "this is reasonable." No one in this world can be perfect. Perfect people are only in books and legends.
Yun Qing went into the yard and saw Yu Xizheng saying something to corydalis. His face was full of smiles. Seeing this, he was in a better mood.
Yuxi heart feeling, looking toward the door, saw the cloud engine. Then he went out with a smile and said, "is everything done?" Now the weather is getting colder and there are fewer battles, but that doesn't mean there are fewer things. On the contrary, the most important thing is to pay attention to cold. The money given by the imperial court is not enough. If it is not enough, they have to find a way to solve it.
Yuxi also knows how hard the soldiers in the border town are living from Yunqing. If the military pay can not be paid in time, it is not necessary to say that the food is not good enough and the clothes are not warm enough. In this way, we have to go to war. But these soldiers have no trace of complaints, which makes Yuxi particularly moved.
Yun Qing shook his head and said, "no, I'll come back to see you." He hasn't been home for more than ten days. He thinks so much about his wife and children that he comes back to have a look.
Yuxi was very happy to hear this. He took Yunqing into the room, took the clothes made for Yunqing from the box, and said, "put them on and have a try."
Although Yun Qing is a three grade general, he doesn't have many clothes, and he doesn't pay attention to them at all. They are either black or cyan, or even Zhu cyan. The colors are very deep, and people are old-fashioned. After Yuxi got married, he made several clothes for him. However, he knew that Yun Qing was thrifty, and he didn't do much, so he did four or five bodies, which also had the potential to change.
This time, what Yuxi made for Yunqing was a black fur flying cloak, which was very brave. Yu Xi was a little depressed and said, "there were still some good skins in the box at that time. If they hadn't been robbed by the bandits, they would have made better clothes for you." What Yun Qing is wearing now is made of several Fox Skins.
Although Yun Qing was happy, Yu Xi always thought about himself, but he took down his cloak and asked, "did you make clothes for yourself?"
Yuxi said with a smile, "yes, I've made a rat skin cloak and several cotton padded jackets." Seeing Yun Qing frowning, he explained, "anyway, I won't go out in winter. When I buy a good leather coat next year, I'll make a few fur coats. This year, it's OK." I thought there were a lot of skins in the northwest, but I didn't know until I came here. There are a lot of skins here, but they are all sheepskin and cowhide. Yuxi didn't like these two kinds of leather, and felt it tasteful; And other leather, you have to book in advance, otherwise you can't buy good leather. Yuxi ate this loss, did not buy good, she is not willing to make do with, would rather wear cotton padded jacket!
Cloud engine heard also did not say much: "do not lack that little money, do not aggrieve yourself." There's no way to make Yuxi look like he's in the capital, but it's OK to eat enough and wear warm clothes.
Yuxi said with a smile, "what are you talking about? No matter what, we don't need money for clothes! I don't like those skins. I'll make them when I buy a good one next year. I'll make more of them then. " Although she is not a big spendthrift, she does not treat herself badly.
Yun Qing nodded his head gently.
Yuxi said: "by the way, I heard Hao Dazhuang say that many old people and children die of frostbite every winter. I'd like to ask someone to make 1000 sets of cotton padded clothes and trousers, which will be sent to your subordinates' families with difficulties. What do you think? " It is certain that it will not be possible to send them to the barracks. They will not suffer from scarcity but inequality, which will easily lead to conflicts. But if it is given to those soldiers who are in poor families, the meaning will be different.
Cloud Qing is looking at jade Xi, shake head to say: "not quite appropriate." It's supposed to buy people's hearts.
Yuxi laughed and said, "what's wrong? When I was in Beijing, my mother bought rice porridge every winter. Now it's just a set of cotton padded clothes and trousers. What can others say? And if someone follows, isn't it a good thing? " I've been with Qiu for a long time, but I'm also affected. I want to do more good deeds.
Cloud engine also felt that he was worried too much, thought about it and said: "if you want to do it, do it!" Yuxi has this heart and should support, not combat, this enthusiasm.
Yu Xi is going to give it to Hao Dazhuang. After this period of contact, Yuxi also learned that Hao Dazhuang was in good spirits. In this case, there was nothing to worry about.
Hao Dazhuang asked, "madam, I don't think it's proper to do this. In addition to the elderly and children, young people have hands and feet, and can work to support themselves. And the old people and children, a set of cotton padded clothes and trousers can not help them
This is quite true, but Yuxi likes such a real person. After thinking about it, Yuxi said, "do you think this is possible? I'll set up a temporary school for children under ten and over five years old to take charge of three meals, and then ask my husband to teach them to read and read."
Hao Dazhuang thought it was a good idea, but he added: "there are thousands of children under the age of 10 in Yucheng, even if there are not tens of thousands of them. How can a temporary school fit in?" A pause said: "however, if there are preconditions, it is another matter."
How quickly Yuxi reacted, he recognized the meaning of Hao Dazhuang's words: "do you mean schools only accept orphans?"
Hao Dazhuang nodded and said, "well, otherwise there will be too many people." Although my wife wants to do good, she has to do it according to her ability. Otherwise, it's impossible to get rid of the family.
Yuxi nodded: "it's a good way, but there must be specific regulations. First of all, how many people do you want to take? In this way, we can choose houses according to this quantity, buy food, invite a few gentlemen, and prepare sand tables. " It takes a lot of writing and paper to learn. But it's so expensive everywhere that most people can't afford to use it. Yuxi can afford it, but if the number of people is large, the consumption of a day is amazing, even if she has a small asset, she can't afford it.
Hao Dazhuang did not understand: "what is the sand table?"
Yuxi said with a smile: "it's to use a square box with sand in it. At that time, you can write on the sand with branches. You don't need to spend ink, paper and inkstone, you can also learn to write."
Hao Dazhuang said with a smile: "madam is so smart." This is really a difficult problem. It costs too much to provide it on your own side. But if they have to pay for it, they can't afford it.
Yuxi laughed and said, "I saw it in the book, too." Raising the next generation is much better than giving porridge to cotton padded clothes and trousers.
Hao Dazhuang said sincerely: "madam, if you can apply what you have learned, you are great. And the kindness of my wife is really rare. " If the gift of cotton padded clothes and trousers has the element of acting, then running a temporary school is enough to show that my wife really wants to do good deeds and help those families who are in trouble.
Yuxi laughed and said, "when you come to the school, you should remind them that what you teach in the school is very simple." As far as Yuxi knows, there are only a few children here who can read, so Yuxi is just preparing to enlighten them. For the time being, he doesn't think much about other things.
Hao Dazhuang has no objection to this, but this gentleman is hard to find: "madam, I can handle everything else, but there is nothing I can do about this gentleman." The man who read and read is too lofty. He was absolutely driven out when he came to the door.
Yuxi laughed and said, "I'll solve this." It's just enlightenment. How hard can it be.
