Chapter 450： Snowing

In the early morning of the second day, Pei Xiu woke up and just stretched out her arm, but it seemed to be colder this morning.

Looking at Mai, who was sleeping with a blushing face on the side, he covered her quilt more tightly.

Then he retracted the quilt, lay in the warm quilt for a while, and after doing some inner struggle, he mustered up the courage to climb out of the quilt.

After putting on her coat, she opened the window to take a closer look at the weather today, but the cold wind made her shiver, and she glanced at the snow-white outside.

She was stunned for a moment, and when she took a closer look, she saw that the yard was covered with a thick layer of snow.

Yesterday afternoon, there were only scattered snowflakes for a while, and the ground stopped without snow.

Unexpectedly, it snowed again at night. It seemed that the snow last night was quite heavy, and the branches were covered with snow and covered in silver.

Afraid of blowing the child, she closed the window with a glance, dressed neatly, and put on a cape before going out.

At this time, there were still snowflakes in the sky. She walked out of the porch and stepped on it with one foot. The snow was almost covering her feet.

"Ma'am, the snow has been falling all night, and it seems that it won't stop for a while. When the snow stops, the servants will clean it up again." Ginkgo Hou said aside.

"It's okay, are you up, young master?"

She gathered up her neckline and cuffs to keep the wind out.

"It was both windy and snowy. After getting up, the young masters were so excited that they jumped for a while under the porch and then ran into the snow for a snowball fight."

She smiled and said, "Go and see."

They avoided the snow and walked down the porch, and as soon as they approached, they heard the loud laughter in the yard.

In the courtyard, the boss was bending over to make snow, and the second and third took the opportunity to attack.

"You two bully me together, let's see how I deal with you."

The three of you kept throwing snow **** at each other, and they were having a good time, and Pei Xiu didn't bother.

She only coughed a few times when they were about to make a fuss.

Only when the three brothers heard the sound did they realize that their mother was here, and only then did they stop what they were doing.

"Mother, why are you here? It's still early. Why don't you lie down for a while?"

"Yeah, it's snowing today and it's very cold. Why do you get up so early?"

"When I woke up, I got up. It turned out that it was snowing. I heard that you were having a snowball fight, so I came over to have a look."

The boss looked behind her, "Wheat hasn't gotten up yet, it's okay."

"Don't worry, she's sleeping soundly." She stepped forward and patted the snow on them, and said, "Okay, go wash and change clothes, be careful of catching a cold."

It was only then that the three of them realized that they had not washed their faces and combed their hair after their morning exercise.

"Mother, it's cold outside, you go back to the house first, we'll have breakfast in a while."

"Um."

It was really cold, and after standing for a while, her feet were a little stiff.

When she returned to the house, she changed into wool and cotton shoes as soon as possible, which made her feel much warmer.

She instructed Ginkgo, "It's snowing, and shoes are easy to get wet. You should remind Qingsongqingzhu and prepare an extra pair or two of shoes for the young masters on the carriage for easy replacement."

"Yes. The slaves are going right now. It just so happened that Mrs. Li bought a few new pairs."

After sending the boys away, she sorted out the affairs of the house, and she also went back to the house and continued to lie down with Mai.

In this kind of weather, it is suitable to wrap a quilt. Anyway, she is the biggest in the house, and no one dares to say that she is lazy.

It was still snowing outside, and when Mai woke up, she didn't let her go out, but let her play on the bed.

After lying down for a long time, the mother and daughter did not come out until they woke up from a nap.

Looking at the vast expanse of whiteness, Mai gave an excited wow and ran out to play in the snow.

She was wearing thick clothes and hats and gloves, so Pei Xiu went with her.

This time last year, she was too young to remember what snow looked like.

Seeing her happily jumping and stomping on the snow, Pei Xiu said with a smile, "Stop jumping, come back soon, wait for the brothers to come back, and let them build a snowman for you."

When Ginkgo saw her getting up, she came over and reported that Jing Zhaoyin and Huainan Wangfu sent a large amount of beef at the same time today.

Pei Xiu nodded and asked the kitchen to cut two more pieces to marinate at night and eat it tomorrow. She and several children like to eat marinated beef, and fried **** is also good.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with them. Usually they would give it away from time to time, but today the amount was too much. Just put it aside and eat it slowly, it won't go bad anyway.

She didn't feel puzzled until it was collected intermittently for several days, and the kitchen corridor was full of hangings and there was nowhere to put it.

Has the cattle been slaughtered so frequently recently?

When they came to the door, she asked specifically.

Zhou Shancai said ashamedly, "Auntie, I've been a failure. I've lived with you for many years, and I don't even know that you like beef."

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and now she found the reason.

"Beef is not easy to come by. We have only had it for the past two years. Your Uncle Zhou has been an official, and you have eaten it occasionally. I didn't show it. You don't know if it's normal? The three brothers don't know either."

"Did they tell you and Zhou Yi, so you two went to the mansion with all your strength these days?"

"Don't give it away any more. The porch in front of the kitchen is full of beef, and you won't be able to eat it all winter."

Zhou Shan scratched his head embarrassedly, "I won't be able to finish it. Then my aunt will tell me after you finish eating. A cow will die in the palace every few days. It's not difficult to eat beef."

Zhou Yi also said: "I asked the subordinate officials to help pay attention. They all know where there are slaughtered cattle, and my aunt doesn't have to be polite to me."

"Understood, you have the heart, don't send it any more."

Next, she has to make the kitchen change every day, otherwise she won't be able to let it go until the spring is finished.

The boss said bluntly: "There is no shortage of beef. If you can get beef bones, buy 50 pounds and send them here. My mother's beef bones in sauce are also delicious!"

Pei Xiu took a photo of the eldest son, who is very welcome~ There is so much beef in the house, isn't it enough? "

"It's all lean beef, no beef bones. The beef bones are also delicious. After stewing for a few hours, the beef tendons and crispy bones on the top become soft and rotten, and it's delicious to chew on, and the bone marrow..." Boss Bian Say it and take a breath.

Several other people also swallowed.

"Put your saliva away, and remember to send the beef bones tomorrow morning."

Everyone touched their chins and found that they had been tricked.

"I'll have it delivered in the morning. You ask the kitchen to cook it earlier, and I will eat it when you come back in the evening. My aunt asks the kitchen to prepare more for dinner tomorrow."

Hearing the big brother's description, Zhou Shan was also greedy. He had not eaten beef bone with sauce, yet they didn't call him when they did!

Zhou Yi also shouted, "I'm going to eat here tomorrow night too."

Pei Xiu smiled, "Okay, then you will all eat here tomorrow."

She just likes to see these boys in full swing.
