The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 934

[Chapter 934 The warmth in the cold winter]

The strong wind swept the mountains and villages, shook the trunks of ancient trees, and even tore off the thatch from some houses and raised them into the air.

A man bowed and pushed open the door, and the cold wind followed him into the low adobe house.

The woman sitting beside the bed saw him enter the room, she hurriedly walked over and looked at him expectantly and asked, “Have you got the rice noodles, the master?” There are three children in his family, the eldest is seven and the youngest is two. The above two children are in good health, but the youngest son is sick. Because the treatment did not go in time. However, the youngest son has not yet disappeared, so he took the rice and noodles for the three children.

A child has two catties of white rice and two catties of white noodles, and three children add up to six catties of white rice and six catties of white noodles. For them, this is not a small amount.

Oak-hee said at first that she would give two pounds of white rice, but then she thought that if the child was craving for noodles or dumplings, white rice would not solve the problem. For Yuxi’s behavior, poor people are very grateful, but rich people despise it, because Yuxi sold rice noodles very expensively. During the Taiping period, a pound of rice noodles was only six or seven cents. Now Yuxi is selling it. Sixty cents a pound. The common people could not afford it, but the rich or eunuchs had to eat it. So Oak-hee made all the money from these people.

Huang Douer took out a cloth bag from his arms and said happily, “I got it, six catties of white rice and six catties of white noodles.” There is no intermediate procedure, which avoids the possibility of someone doing tricks.

Aunt Huang took the cloth bag and opened it, and tears came: “It would be great if Xiaosan was still alive, and he could also drink a mouthful of rice porridge and eat a mouthful of dumplings.”

Huang Dou’er was also very sad, but it was useless to be sad after the child had gone: “Don’t talk too much, go and cook porridge for the children to eat.” The two children are now lying in bed, not sick but outside. It’s too cold, lie on the bed to warm up. Besides, lying in bed without exercising will not cost too much food.

When Huang Dalang heard the white noodles, he hurriedly said, “Mother, I want to eat noodles.” For Huang Dalang, oil-splashed noodles are the best thing to eat. It’s just that he also knows the current situation at home, and he is very satisfied to eat noodles.

Seeing this, Huang Erlang also said, “Mother, I want to eat dumplings.” Noodles and dumplings, Huang Erlang prefers dumplings.

Huang Douer said, “I’ll make noodles and dumplings for you during the Chinese New Year.” After a while, Huang Douer said to Huang Dalang, “When you’re full, go get some firewood with your father.” There’s not enough firewood at home. .

Children from poor families are in charge early, and seven-year-olds can already do a lot of things. Huang Dalang nodded and said, “Okay.”

At dinner, Huang Dalang and Huang Erlang each had a bowl of white porridge, which was a white porridge that couldn’t be poured with chopsticks. The two brothers took a bite of the potato and then ate a mouthful of white porridge. They looked indescribably satisfied: “It’s delicious.” Although the white porridge only contained a little salt, it was already a good thing for them.

Aunt Huang said, “Remember, this is due to the blessing of the princess.” The common people are very grateful, and the drought has made the common people worship Yuxi as a god.

Huang Dalang ate half a bowl of porridge, and pushed the rest in front of Huangdouer and said, “Dad, I’m full, eat these!”

Huang Erlang looked at his brother, and then looked at the white porridge in his bowl, he couldn’t help taking another big mouthful, and then pushed it in front of Aunt Huang and said, “Mother, I’m full too, and the rest is yours! ”

Huang Douer and Aunt Huang were very pleased to see their son’s filial piety: “When you are growing up, you need to eat well.” Unfortunately, their husband and wife failed to provide better conditions for their children.

Huang Dalang said loudly: “Father, mother, when my brother and I grow up, we will let you eat noodles and dumplings every day.”

Huang Erlang added: “It has to be dumplings with oil splashed noodles and pork mixed with green onions.”

When Huang Douer and Aunt Huang heard this, they couldn’t stop laughing. The cold wind was blowing outside, but the inside was warm like spring.

Of course, Yuxi didn’t know about this scene. If she knew, she would be very happy.

Xu Wu told Yuxi the news from Yucheng: “Princess, the adoptive father and the grand county master left Yucheng three days ago, and they were able to return to Haocheng a few years ago.”

Yuxi raised her head when she heard this and asked, “Why didn’t Cui Mo say anything in the book?”

Xu Wu said: “If you say it in the book, it may reveal the whereabouts of the adoptive father and the big county master.” In the entire northwest, there are not only the detailed works of the Beiluo people, but also Yan Wushuang, Yu Chunhao and the others who sent them. It would be very dangerous for these people to inquire about the whereabouts of the Grand Princess.

Yuxi nodded and said lightly, “So that’s how it is.”

Remembering the last time Yuxi was angry because of Zaozao’s assassination, Xu Wu weighed it in his heart and said, “Princess, I know that the adoptive father’s use of the big county master to lead the Beijiao to meticulous work is sometimes considered, but the adoptive father also wants to do this…”

Yuxi didn’t wait for him to finish, and took the words on his own: “I know that he used Zaozao as bait. First, he could wipe out the fine works hidden in Yucheng by Beijiao, and secondly, he could take the opportunity to exercise Zaozao.”

Xu Wu was stunned and said, “So the princess knows it!”

Yu Xi hummed and said, “I was just a little angry at the time, and I will understand Uncle Huo’s painstaking efforts after I figure it out.” Yu Xi looked very sincere when she said this.

Seeing this, Xu Wu breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the princess would have an opinion on the adoptive father and the two would become deadlocked: “The princess knows the good intentions of the adoptive father, so I am relieved.”

Oak Xi smiled and said, “Of course you know, go get busy!” After speaking, Oak Xi lowered her head and continued to review the memorial.

After Xu Wu turned around and walked out of the room, Oak Xi looked up at the swaying pearl curtain at the door with a blank expression. It’s not that I don’t mind, but I can’t show it even if I do. Huo Changqing not only cultivated Yunqing into a talent, but also protected him as he grew up. Furthermore, Xu Wu, Feng Dajun and others he trained are also the arms of Yun Qing, so she can’t have a deadlock with Huo Changqing, at least not now.

The winter supplies such as feather coats were first delivered to Du Zheng. Akun, who was in charge of receiving the supplies, had never seen the feather coat before, and he felt that something was wrong when he held it in his hand. As a result, I tore the opening and saw that the stuff inside turned out to be feathers. A Kun’s face changed greatly, when the person who was about to deliver the supplies tied up and sent it to Du Zheng.

Du Zheng looked at the two tied up in front of him, and asked in confusion, “What’s going on?”

Ah Kun looked at the head who sent the military supplies and said, “General, this fellow has a dark heart. All the clothes that he sent us were stuffed with duck and goose feathers.” The stuffed duck feathers and goose feathers, like black heart cotton, are all fake.

The official who sent the things was named Cao, and he was a five-rank ginseng leader. Cao Canling heard busy and said: “General Du, I just explained to them that this is a feather coat made by the princess, and it is stuffed with duck feathers and goose feathers. There are more than 90,000 sets of such clothes. 40,000 sets were sent over there, and 40,000 sets were sent here.”

The action of collecting duck feathers and goose feathers that day was as big as that of goose feathers, and some of them were passed from his level, how could Du Zheng not know. Du Zheng asked, “You said you sent 40,000 sets of such clothes to Shanxi?” Seeing Cao Can’s nodding, Du Zheng asked, “What’s so special about these clothes?”

Cao Can collar hurriedly said, “Not only are these clothes lighter than cotton-padded clothes and trousers, but they are also warmer than cotton-padded clothes and trousers. Master Yuan wears such clothes when the weather gets colder, and that’s what he said.”

Du Zheng said to the general who called him just now, “Go get a set and come here.” Try it and you’ll know if it’s true or not.

The clothes were brought, and Du Zheng tried them on himself. A quarter of an hour later, Du Zheng said happily: “Old Yuan really didn’t lie, this dress is really warm and light.” Wearing a padded jacket and cotton pants made him bloated. This thing is good, warm and close to the body.

Back then, Du Zheng knew that those duck feathers and goose feathers were what Yuxi wanted, and he even whispered to his subordinates about the princess’s preferences. In the end, they didn’t expect that the princess’ eccentric hobbies would ultimately benefit them.

Touching the feather coat on his body, Du Zheng said in a low voice, “Something is good, but it’s too few.” There are 100,000 people under him, and there are still 50,000 people after excluding the 50,000 new ones. ! A difference of 10,000 is not a good score.

When Cao Canling heard this, he was in the mood to cry. There were a total of 98,969 sets of feather coats, and 98,000 sets were sent to Yunqing, Du Zheng and Guantai Sanfen. The rest, Yuan Ying was assigned to each barracks according to the level. Cao Can’s leadership level is not enough, so he didn’t get it.

Du Zheng looked at Cao Canling’s appearance and asked, “Old Yuan can’t be stingy and didn’t give each of you a set, right?”

Cao Canling shook his head and said, “If there are too many people and few clothes, Master Yuan is also embarrassed.” Not to mention that Cao Canling was not dissatisfied with Yuan Ying, even if he did, he would not dare to say it in front of Du Zheng. Otherwise, don’t even think about messing around in the quarters.

Du Zheng laughed and said, “Lao Yuan won’t give it to you, I’ll reward you with a set.” This thing was mainly not available before, but it’s actually not worth much.

Cao Canling didn’t refuse either. He clasped his fists with both hands and said, “Thank you, General.” It was mainly because of the drought this year that almost all poultry died.

After Cao Can led out, A Kun said with a bitter face: “General, I tore three pieces of clothes.” Looking at Cao Can’s appearance, this thing was a good thing, but he ruined three good things in vain.

Du Zheng scolded: “People have said that the duck feathers are stuffed in the clothes, and you have tied them up. Do you think you have a brain?”

Akun didn’t dare to retort, and said, “It’s my subordinate’s fault. I just never saw this thing before, I thought it was the same as reeds and black cotton wool!” Stuff reeds and black cotton wool into the jacket. Such a padded jacket was not warm at all, which caused many of their brothers to freeze to death.

When Du Zheng heard this, he felt a lot. It was really difficult for them back then. It’s normal for these people to have shadows in their hearts. Even just now, he had doubts in his heart, but Du Zheng was calmer than them: “If you have doubts, you can tell me in private, and I will solve it myself. It’s never your turn to tie Cao Can to lead.”

Akun didn’t dare to defend himself, he lowered his head and said, “My subordinates are wrong, and I won’t do it next time.”

Du Zheng nodded and said, “Go down!”

When there was only Du Zheng left in the room, he touched the feather coat and whispered, “If I had known that clothes made of duck and goose feathers could keep out the cold, that would be great!” The cost of a complete set of feather coats is more than one piece There are few jackets. If this thing was discovered earlier, so many brothers would not have died in vain.

The tragic death of so many people in Yucheng is an eternal pain in everyone’s heart. This kind of pain, people who have not experienced it will never understand.
