By Jia Xiuzhen

First I went to see Daiyu, and saw that she had only a slight cough but nothing else, so I told Zijuan and others a few words, and then went to visit Yingchun Tanchun and Xichun.As soon as he entered Yingchun's room, he didn't even make a charcoal basin, so he asked Siqi, "It's getting colder today, why don't we make a charcoal basin?"

Siqi was annoyed, and said: "I have been urging since last night, but it hasn't been delivered yet. I went to look for it again in the morning, and only said that there are charcoal pots everywhere. Now there are a few charcoal, let's wait. "

Li Wan had other concerns in his heart, so he winked at Biyue, seeing that Yingchun's quilts and clothes were thick, so he was a little relieved.

Siqi looked at it and said, "I was supposed to change it earlier, but I couldn't catch the person who was on the laundry table. Now it's a blessing in disguise." Yingchun remained silent and didn't look at her.After a while, Biyue came with two women, one carrying a charcoal basin with a big iron ring, and the other carrying a small basket of charcoal.

Siqi rushed up to meet him and set up a place.Yingchun was about to speak, Li Wan held her down, and said: "In my yard, because Lan'er needs soup and water, I have prepared extra charcoal in winter, and it's just in time for it. You use it first, it's over I'll send someone to bring it over again. Now not only the mansion, but the entire capital is startled by the snow, it's the time of chaos, don't say anything else, just don't freeze yourself."

Then he said to Siqi: "Look at this charcoal, don't let it be used for other things."

Si Qi quickly thanked him and took it, and said: "Now there are only seventy to eighty catties of silver frost charcoal in this mansion. I don't know if it is the real number. The old ladies and wives sent people out to buy it. Grandma, this is really a timely gift."

Yingchun said: "Is Lan'er all right?"

Li Wan smiled and said: "He is very well, he even ate a bowl of noodles when he got up early in the morning, I don't worry about you guys, come and have a look."

After sitting for a while, I went to see Tanchun again.A brazier had been lit at Tanchun's room, but no one was there, saying that he had gone to his wife's place, so Li Wan abducted him to Xichun's room knowing nothing had happened.

When I entered the room, I heard her speak in a crisp voice: "My sister-in-law is really rare. Bring me some charcoal early in the morning. How long will it be cold?" Wearing the Ruyi dress that I made, sitting on the kang is full of energy. "Sister-in-law is here! Is Lan'er so cold? I originally said I'm going to play with him today."

Li Wan took her hand and said with a smile: "He's doing very well. It's too cold today, so you should just stay there and go when it's warmer. Anyway, this year I wish you a good time, and the class hours are less than last year. It's better, and you have time to play. Are you freezing? It was suddenly cold last night."

Xichun smiled and took out the Jade Peanut from his chest, and said: "I would like to thank sister-in-law. I wear the one that I can't take off. The colder it was yesterday, the warmer it was. I'm fine. I'm afraid I'll be frozen in the painting. Just put her quilt on me and go find a thicker one, it froze her terribly."

Li Wan looked at the painting, and indeed his face turned slightly pale. Feeling her heart to protect the Lord, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and said, "I was afraid that you guys would catch cold, so I brought a few pills. You are fine, but Ruhua has suffered on your behalf, so this should be given to Ruhua."

Then he said to Ru Hua: "You take a pill first, just take it with warm water, and then take another pill before going to bed at night, cover it thicker, and you will be fine if you sweat a little. Let's change to another person to watch the night today." Ru Hua quickly thanked and took it Porcelain bottle.

Li Wan went around in a circle, although he was not tired, but his thoughts were busy. When he was going back to Jiamu Sanchun, it was hard to say that there was not even a brazier in the Spring Festival, so he had to.On the way back to the courtyard, it was snowing on this day at a leisurely pace. Ever since he had the idea of ​​fighting with the gods, Li Wan felt that the snow was becoming more and more weird.

After returning to the house, it turns out that Jia Lan never went to class. After asking, she found out that Mr. Zhu is busy. She has not been in class for the past few days. It is not certain when the class will start. Plus Baoyu is frozen, and Jia's mother is also going to stop. For a few days, Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief as the two sides were a pair.

In addition to the special dishes for lunch, a hot pot was added from top to bottom. Now the whole mansion is the safest in Li Wan's courtyard. It was probably because the arrangement was good last night. No one was sick, and there was always someone else. A few coughs and sneezes.After lunch, he was playing with Jia Lan in the east room, when he reported that Madam Xu had arrived, Li Wan was very surprised.

Mother Xu entered the room, except for the wind and snow cloak outside, Li Wan hastily let her sit on the warm kang, Suyun had brought ginger tea.Li Wan asked, "Why is Mammy here today? It's a snowy day!" After serving tea and snacks, Suyun went out to watch in the outer room, and Jia Lan also got off the kang. He didn't know what to avoid, but he was just anxious to see Nanny Xu brought something rare again.

Nanny Xu took out an envelope from her bosom and handed it to Li Wan, saying, "The letter I received from Mrs. Zhang's family yesterday, I'm afraid there is something urgent. I was going to come today. It was really cold yesterday. Sex, this is the season of neither cold nor tide, I am afraid grandma is short of charcoal here, so I happened to send some baskets of hard charcoal along the way. Although it is not Hongluo charcoal, it is also from Weizhou Xuanfu, not the silver frost charcoal on the market. Compare."

Li Wan knew that it was Peng Qiao and others who specially found someone to burn and dry the mushrooms in the room, and they were all experts, so naturally they were not bad.After opening the letter, it turned out that Lao's Road was in urgent need of woolen materials from Li Wan. The more the quantity, the better. He only said that this matter was of great importance, and Li Wan had to send more people to speed up production no matter what. It is said that there is a way for people to follow the vines to find the door, and I will tell Li Wan in detail after it is determined.

In addition, he also said that Ji Liang made a big purchase of autumn tea last year, and some people had already paid attention to it. Although there was no clue through the Four Seas Trading Company, more than one group of people came to inquire.Li Wan knew that Ji Liang was involved in a lawsuit against foreigners in Yangzhou last year, and it was not the Zhang family's fault that he was targeted. In addition, Ji Liang was originally planning to make a big deal last year, so he had no intention of doing so again this year.On the contrary, Lowe's came up with another plan. The Four Seas Trading Company came forward to purchase this year's spring tea, handed it over to Ji Liang for processing, and then sold it all by the Four Seas Trading Company. , Four Seas Trading Company only gave the price of raw tea and the purchase price of finished tea, regardless of Ji Liang's intermediary income.

After thinking about it, Li Wan didn't have any reason to object, she just told Mother Xu about the matter and asked her to write a letter to discuss with Ji Liang.As for the woolen material, Duan Gao will sell half of the inventory in the next two months, and what Lao's said about adding manpower, Li Wan mainly relies on those machines, whether to add people or not But it is useless.At that time, it was said that there were only so many parts for the dowry of this machine, so it can't be added for no reason now, so I can only give up.

After hastily discussing with Madam Xu, Li Wan went back to the back room by himself, took out a large fur cloak with dark gray stone and blue patterns, and said to Madam Xu: "Today I will not leave Madam in vain. It's not something that can be done in a day or two, and the village needs a lot of care from the mother. The mother remembers that the snow can't be ignored now. It doesn't matter if it collapses and the mushroom shed is collapsed. The key is not to hurt people. The charcoal basin for heating I don’t need to save the stove for hot soup and wine. Let’s put on this cloak mamma, seeing the wind is blowing, mamma should leave as soon as possible, is the car strong?”

Mother Xu said: "I also think it's a strange day. I didn't come with a big cart, but let Zhuangshang find a small cart specially for snowy roads. Grandma, don't worry, I just want to deliver this letter, so here's gone."

Without further ado, he took the cloak that Li Wan handed over and went.Li Wan saw that Suyun and the others escorted Nanny Xu out of the yard, and saw her put on the cloak he had given her, and felt a little relieved.This cloak was obtained by Li Wan from the Cang Geng, and it is called "Returning Clothes on a Snowy Night", which is just right for Madam Xu today.

After a while Yan Nanny took Jia Lan's hand into the room, and said with a smile: "Today, Nanny Xu really came in a timely manner."

Li Wan said: "She only said a few baskets, but I don't know how many?"

Yan Momo said: "There are three baskets in total, and each basket must weigh seventy to eighty catties."

Li Wan wondered: "Just now Mammy said she came in a small car, how could it hold all these things?"

Yan Momo smiled and said: "The small car she took herself, this thing was brought in by a hired cart, and Chang Momo is watching to move it in."

Just as she was talking, Nanny Chang came in. After hearing what Nanny Yan said, she knew she was talking about the charcoal, so she said, "Nurse Xu is indeed a delicate person. The basket that holds the charcoal looks like charcoal no matter how you look at it." , I took two pieces and tapped them, good hard charcoal."

Li Wan nodded and said, "They are all used by the village to bake mushrooms."

Jia Lan couldn't help muttering: "This time Mammy brought some charcoal!" Li Wan nodded his forehead and said, "Look outside, it's snowing and windy, Mammy is worried that we might not have enough charcoal. The charcoal was delivered in the wind and snow. Now that the wind is getting tighter, Mammy doesn't know when she will be able to return to Zhuangzi. Do you think Mammy will bring you something?"

Jia Lan was originally a child at heart. After hearing this call, she couldn't help but look ashamed, and hurriedly raised her head and said in a muffled voice: "Mother... I was wrong. When I saw Mammy came, I was only thinking of something rare, but I didn't expect Mammy to come. hard work."

Li Wan took his hand, and said in a warm voice: "You can know your mistake, so mother can rest assured. I said 'there is no crime greater than desire', if you are only led by your own desires, it is the latter sentence 'there is no greater disaster than desire'." Not satisfied anymore." Yan Momo and Chang Momo looked at each other and smiled.

Li Wan originally planned to enter the Pearl Realm at night, and use the fleeting time to secretly plant some bamboos and use the cauldron to burn charcoal, but now there are these sent by Madam Xu, which will save trouble.This is really the great fortune of those "hard to find" top-quality cauldrons in the pearl world.If the majestic Lingbao-level cauldron is used to simmer charcoal... one day the generator spirit will feel unbearable.

When it was time for dinner, I heard that all the people who went out to buy charcoal had returned, and they only bought dozens of catties from scattered stores, which was not the best.At first, no one paid much attention to the news, thinking that buying it was just for preparation. When the peach blossoms are in full bloom, how cold can it be?At dusk, this thought was gone, and the snow didn't stop, but the wind whimpered and howled, and it hurt people's faces.Li Wan thought to himself that it was fortunate that Nanny Xu had put on that dress, and after thinking about the time, she should have returned to Zhuangzi by now.

It was about to get dark, so Li Wan went back to his room and took some fine fleece and some socks woven from silk and silk twisted thread. He put them in a box, and asked him to take a basket of original silver frost charcoal from the storeroom, and found a woman. Zirang sent to Yingchun.Nanny Chang looked at it and sighed, "Grandma is really a bodhisattva."

Li Wan said: "I thought Miss Lin was a poor girl who lived in her natal family and lost her mother when she was young. Who would have thought that this decent girl from Jia's family would not live as well as Miss Lin."

Mother Chang said: "Miss Lin is taken care of by an old lady anyway, and she uses Baoyu as an example. Although she is a sojourner, she is finally loved by someone. Speaking of the three girls in our family, let alone the fourth girl, they are still young." The third girl is proud of her in front of the wife, and no one dares to underestimate her. Besides, she lives here now, so she is at her own home.

The second girl is the most difficult thing, not to mention the early death of her biological mother, even if she is here, she is just an aunt, and the eldest master is not the second master.In addition, the aunt is such a person who only remembers to put the money in her own hands, so how can she have any thoughts on the girl and brother.

Although the old lady was taken by her side to support her, everyone has a preference. Looking at the people around the old lady, one would know that they like neat and nimble, but these two girls are stupid, so naturally it is difficult to be favored.The wife likes to do her duty, but after all, she doesn't have that much thought about it.In this way, it is really difficult for the second girl, and now some people secretly call her Er Mutou, so I am afraid that she is doing this to save some trouble. "

Li Wan listened, and for some reason remembered that when he came here, if he hadn't won the Pearl Realm, he would be about the same as Yingchun, except for keeping his mouth shut and not being annoying, so what can he do.
