Chapter 397

Cold rain, cold wind.

The courtyard has not been rebuilt. There is no floor heating and Kang. Only charcoal pots can be placed in the room. After the charcoal pots are burned, they taste very strong. In order to avoid poisoning, song Xintong leaves the window half open and dare not close it tightly.

Lu Yunkai sat at his desk holding wennuan in his arms and began to read.

Song Xintong wiped his hands and pushed the warm basin to the edge: "it's as cold as the mountains in Taohua village. I thought whether to build two kangs or not, otherwise the whole winter would be hard."

In fact, she wants to do floor heating, the whole room is warm, do Kang can only sit on the bed. In a big place like the capital, where big families don't use Kang, they use warm pots and good silver charcoal instead of inferior charcoal.

"Make two. You and your warm body can't get cold." Lu Yunkai is anti freezing and must be anti freezing. The weather is not very good at the meeting in February next year. It's cold in late spring, so we need to be careful.

"Then I'll go out and look for someone." Song Xintong said: "by the way, buy some rice and firewood, or you won't be able to eat tonight."

Song Xintong took the silver and went out of the yard with Daya. Before, the Jiang family cleaned up the house and bought some necessary supplies, but there were still many things missing, so they needed to buy more.

And this kind of winter, it is time to start buying new year's goods, buy more rice at home also at ease.

They went out with umbrellas, and soon arrived in downtown area. They bought a lot of firewood, rice, oil, salt, ginger, vinegar and tea, and they could use them in the spring of next year. Who could make Daya have a big appetite.

The price of the capital is much more expensive than that of Lingnan. It's similar to the price of rice in Jiangnan. There's no way to make it the capital.

I went to the cloth shop and bought some cloth and cotton. It's going to be new year's day soon. I'll make more new clothes and quilts so that I can wear new clothes for the new year.

Then I went to buy some fresh vegetables and meat. Now it's getting colder and colder. Except for cabbage, radish and pea sprouts, I seldom see other fresh vegetables. They are all very expensive.

Song Xintong also felt that he had to buy a Chuang Tzu and plant all the fruits and vegetables. Later, he could open the shop. She has always wanted to open a restaurant in Beijing. The business must be very good.

Turn the market around, and then go back to the downtown, along the way back to the house.

Not far away, Daya pointed to a shop on the busy street ahead: "girl, what are you doing there? So many people? "

Song Xintong looked in the direction that Daya pointed to, and saw that the plaque had a few big words of Fuyu hall written on it. Suddenly, he was stunned. Is this the lottery seller? Lingnan hasn't opened yet, so it's her first time to see this lottery station.

"I'll see." Song Xintong got out of the carriage, went out of the crowd and asked, "is it a lottery?"

"Yes, it's time to apply. As soon as the time arrives, the prize will be awarded." The man was holding a ticket with a string of numbers written on it. He looked inside excitedly: "I've bought more than 30 Wen this month, but I didn't win once. If I don't win again, I won't buy it!"

"Really not?" Others asked.

"If you don't buy it, it's better to cut two catties of meat with this money."

"Hey, more than 30 Wen can't buy two Jin of meat."

On the market, fat meat costs 23 Wen a Jin, lean meat costs 18 Wen a Jin, which is seven or eight Wen more valuable than Lingnan.

"Well, you can buy one and a half catties."

"You still lack the money to buy a kilo of meat?"

"What's the matter? I can't spend anything I have. "

"Well, it's time. I won't talk to you." People looked at a shaft lifted up from the center of the platform, which contained many wooden bumps.

"Be quiet, everyone. Today's lottery will be held again. The prize can be cashed within 10 days after the lottery. If it is overdue, it will be deemed as abstention." The person in charge of Fuyu hall once again reiterated the rule, "now let's invite Mr. Zhang Sanzi of the prime minister's family in Beijing to turn the wooden shaft for us and shake out seven numbers respectively."

Mr. Wei is very smart. He knows the celebrity effect. Every time he draws a prize, he invites talented young people from high officials and noble families in the capital. Everyone is proud to turn this wooden shaft.

After a handsome young man came to power, he began to turn around and quickly turned out seven numbers. When each number came out, the person in charge of Fuyu hall would read it. At the same time, the officials of Beijing's Department of household would record the numbers and report them to the public.

Every time I read a number, the person who won below yelled happily, "I won one."

But after reading, many people came back in frustration, "if you win two, you're one short! Ah, I didn't win again

"I hit three numbers."

"I hit four numbers..."

Several people followed.

"You're lucky." The people nearby are envious.

The person in charge of Fuyu Hall said in a loud voice: "everyone who wins the lottery can line up here. After we write the winning number on the wall, we will honor the prize with you one by one. Don't worry."

"Good, good."

People almost scattered, song Xintong also returned to the carriage, "go back."

In the restaurant not far away, many people are looking at Fuyu hall. In one of the rooms, there are some handsome young men. Two of them look a little alike.

"Who are you looking at?" One asked.

Another man looked at the disappearing carriage: "brother, I seem to have seen a lady."

The elder brother looked at his brother contemptuously: "third brother, what do you have this hobby?"

"Brother, you misunderstand me. That lady is the one who gave me advice in Lingnan."

"Is that her?" The elder brother was slightly surprised, "it's not in Lingnan. How did it come to the capital?"

"It should be to accompany her husband to Beijing for next year's conference." Said the man.

If song Xintong was here, he would know that the one who was familiar with her was Wei Gongzi, who saved her 100000 Liang.

Childe Wei said: "she is very smart and broad-minded. She is not like a common peasant woman. Her husband is also very talented. If she is not in a peasant family but in an official family, she will be very brilliant and sought after."

"Available?" Asked the prince.

"When available." Duke Wei paused. "It's just that he's arrogant. I don't know if he'll be obedient. If he's willing to serve you, please reuse him."

The prince touched the jade finger on his finger. "It's not too late to talk about it after the examination. I have to see if he has the ability first."

"Big brother is right." Mr. Wei nodded.

On the other hand, song Xintong had already agreed with the firewood man to send more firewood. He also agreed with the bricklayer that they should repair the Kang in the house early tomorrow morning and repair the two room Kang in the evening.

After dinner, the whole family went to bed. I can't help it. I'm really tired these days. I fell asleep until the next day. There is a thin layer of white snow outside the house. The fluorescent white snow lights up the whole world.
