In November, it was a little cold, and the ground was frosted.

Zisu rubbed her hands and said, "madam, it's much colder here than in the capital." At the beginning of the month, perilla came back to work. However, it will not be to serve Yuxi closely, but to manage the accounts of the inner court. If Guo Xun had time, he would go back together and stay in Yunfu.

Violet Yi said, "is it cold? How do I feel warmer here than in the capital? " This is her real feeling, not to fight with zisu.

Yuxi smiled, pointed to the golden pear on the table and said, "this pear is a special product here. You can taste it. It tastes good."

Corydalis is not polite. She took a clean pear and took a bite. She even nodded her head. She could not pronounce clearly: "delicious."

Yuxi said jokingly, "no one is robbing 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 very impetuous. But Yuxi is generally not harsh. Anyway, Yu Zhi doesn't mind. She doesn't care.

"How much more, madam?" said corydalis? I'll bring two to Yu Zhishi later. " Finish saying for a while, look at the purple perilla way: "wait to meet the purple perilla elder sister you also take two to Guo Xun taste."

Yuxi said with a smile, "master Yang has already sent it there." Although master Yang protects her, the identity of her is special. Yuxi doesn't dare to take him as a guard. Instead, she treats him as an elder. She will send some delicious food to her on weekdays.

"Zisu said with a smile:" this has not been married in the past to protect it like this In fact, purple perilla has some envy in her heart. Although she is not related to Yu Zhicheng, she is as good as Yu Zhicheng. When we met, we would chatter and chatter, and make Yu zhilai as the servant girl below. Although she and Guo Xun are married, they have nothing to say. It seems that there is always a gap between them. But zisu knew that she was pretty good now. Corydalis, after all, is a special case.

Corydalis did not wriggle at all, said: "married, not all the same, are a family." Even if there is no engagement, she treats master Yang and Yu Zhi as family members. Although Corydalis is always called by Lao Yang, she is also respected as a father.

Yuxile said, "that's what you say, but if you let others hear you, you will feel shameless and impetuous."

Corydalis cut a voice: "the mouth grows on them, they want to say it, anyway, I will not lose a piece of meat." She'll live a comfortable life and manage so much. If you think about what others think of you every day, you must not be tired to death.

"Yu Xi nodded and smiled:" this is in reason No one in this world can be perfect. Perfect people are only in books and legends.

When Yunqing walked into the yard, he saw Yuxi talking to Corydalis about this. His face was full of smiles and he was in a good mood.

Yuxi felt something in his heart. Looking towards the door, he saw Yunqing. Then he went out laughing and said, "are you finished?" Now it's getting cold and there are fewer wars, but that doesn't mean things are getting less. On the contrary, the most important thing is to pay attention to cold prevention. The court didn't give enough money. They had to find a way to solve the problem.

Yuxi also knew from Yunqing how hard the generals and men in the border city had been living. If the military pay can't be paid in time, we won't talk about it. We can't eat well and wear warm enough. In this way, we have to go to war. But these soldiers did not have a trace of complaints, which made Yuxi particularly moved.

Yunqing shook his head and said, "no, just come back and see you." He hasn't come home in ten days. If he thinks about his wife and children badly, he will come back to have a look.

Yuxi was very happy to hear this. He led Yunqing into the room, took the clothes for Yunqing from the box, and said, "put them on and try them on."

Although Yunqing is a high-quality general, he doesn't have many suits of clothes, and he doesn't pay attention to them at all. Either the black one or the blue one or the Zhu one, the color is very deep, and people are old-fashioned. After Yuxi married, he made several clothes for him. But he knew Yunqing's thrifty nature, and he didn't do much, so he made four or five bodies, which also had to be changed.

This time, Yuxi made Yunqing a black fur flying cloak, which was very brave. Yuxi was a little depressed and said, "there were still some good leather in the box at that time. If they hadn't robbed them, they would have made you better clothes." What Yunqing is wearing now is made of several pieces of fox fur.

Although Yunqing was glad that Yuxi always thought about himself, he took off his cloak and asked, "have you made clothes for yourself?"

Yuxi said with a smile, "I have made a rat skin cloak and several cotton padded jackets." Seeing Yunqing frowning, he explained, "I won't go out in winter anyway. I'll make a few fur coats when I buy a good one next year, even this year." I thought there were a lot of leather in the northwest. I didn't know until I got here. There are a lot of leather here, but they are sheepskin and cowhide. Yuxi doesn't like these two kinds of leather, and feels that they are tasty. Other leather must be ordered in advance, otherwise good leather can't be bought. Yuxi suffered from this loss. She didn't buy a good one and was unwilling to make do with it. She would rather wear a padded jacket!

Yunqing didn't say much when he heard about it: "you don't want that money, don't aggrieve yourself." There is no way for Yuxi to be as well dressed as in the capital, but it's OK to eat and wear warm clothes.

Yuxi said with a smile, "what kind of stupid thing did you say? No matter how much money we don't lack for clothes! I don't like those leathers. I'll make them when I buy good ones next year. I'll definitely make more ones then. " Although she is not a big spender, she doesn't treat herself badly.

Yunqing lightly nodded his head.

Yuxi added: "by the way, I heard Hao Dazhuang say that many old people and children die of frostbite every winter. I want to ask someone to make a thousand sets of cotton padded clothes and trousers, and then send them to your subordinates who are in difficulty at home. What do you think? " It's impossible to send them to the barracks. If they don't suffer from poverty and inequality, they will easily cause conflicts. But if it is given to the families of soldiers in difficult circumstances, the meaning will be different.

Yunqing looked at Yuxi, shook his head and said, "it's not appropriate." It will be considered a bribe.

Yuxi smiled and said, "what's wrong? When I was in Beijing, my mother used to buy rice porridge every winter. Now it's just a set of cotton padded clothes and trousers. What can others say? And if someone does it, isn't it a great thing. " I've been with Qiu for a long time, and I've been affected. I want to do more good deeds.

Yunqing also thinks that he has too many concerns. He thinks for a moment and says, "if you want to do it, do it!" Yuxi has the heart and should support, not attack, this enthusiasm.

Yuxi is going to give it to Hao Dazhuang. After this period of contact, Yuxi also learned that Hao Dazhuang was very popular. In this case, there is nothing to worry about.

Hao Dazhuang asked, "madam, I don't think it's proper to do so. In addition to the elderly and children, young people have hands and feet, and can come out to work and support themselves. And old people and children, a set of cotton padded clothes and trousers can't help them

This is quite true, but Yuxi likes such a real person. After thinking about it, Yuxi said, "do you think it will work? I'll set up a temporary school for children under ten and over five, take charge of three meals, and then ask my husband to teach them how to read and read."

Hao Dazhuang thought it was a good idea, but he added: "there are thousands of children under the age of ten in Yucheng, even if there are not tens of thousands of them. Where can a temporary school be crammed?" After a pause, he said, "but if there are preconditions, it's another matter."

How quickly did Yuxi react? He heard the meaning in Hao Dazhuang's words: "do you mean that the school only accepts orphans?"

Hao Dazhuang nodded and said, "well, otherwise there will be too many people." Although the lady is willing to do good, she has to do what she can. Otherwise, I'm not sure if I'm going to clean up my family.

Yuxi nodded: "it's a good way, but there must be specific regulations. First of all, how many people should be charged? In this way, we can choose houses according to this quantity to buy food and invite some gentlemen. In addition, we need to prepare sand tables. " It takes ink and paper to learn. But it's too expensive to use anywhere. Yuxi can afford it, but if there are too many people, the consumption of one day will be amazing, even if she has few assets.

Hao Dazhuang didn't understand: "what is a sandbox?"

Yuxi said with a smile, "it's a square box with sand in it. When it comes 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 really smart." It's really a problem. It's too expensive to provide it by yourself. But they can't afford to pay for it.

Yuxi smiled and said, "I also read it from the book." Cultivating the next generation is much better than giving porridge and giving cotton clothes and trousers.

Hao Dazhuang said sincerely: "it's amazing that madam can apply what she has learned. And the kindness of my wife is really rare. " If there is a theatrical element in giving away cotton padded clothes and trousers, a temporary school will be enough to show that the lady really wants to do good deeds and contribute to those families who are in difficulty.

Yuxi smiled and said, "when you come to the door, 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 going to enlighten them, and the others don't think much for the moment.

To this, Hao Dazhuang has no objection, but this gentleman is not easy to find: "madam, I can do everything else, but there is nothing I can do about this move." The people who read and read are not very tall. He is an old man who has been kicked out.

Yuxi smiled and said, "I'll take care of this." It's just enlightenment. How hard can it be.
