Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is late autumn, and although Ye Shuyao's dysmenorrhea symptoms have improved, it is still uncomfortable after the weather is cold. The autumn harvest work on the Zhuangzi www.biquge.info has come to an end, and the charcoal fire used in winter is also sufficient, just waiting for the arrival of winter.

And the refugees who were placed in shantytowns in the suburbs by the imperial court were not so comfortable, Ye Shuyao did not have a heart to save everyone, and even if she had the heart, she did not have such financial resources. She had to do everything she could to get the people who worked for her to live in the houses that had already been built, and she also subsidized some of the charcoal money.

As for how others should survive the harsh winter, this is what the imperial court should do, and it is not something that Ye Shuyao can solve alone.

Ye Qichen knew that his daughter had been sent to Zhuangzi for a while, but he was so busy with affairs in the court that he really couldn't spare his energy, so he only sent someone to inform her, and he would definitely take her back to the house before the ceremony.

Ye Shuyao was used to living in Zhuangzi, and he didn't want to go back earlier, let alone have any expectations for his father, who valued fame and fortune.

However, her mother and sister also knew that she was pretending to be sick, and spread a lot of rumors about her. It's a pity that Yang Qingru deliberately erased Ye Shuyao's presence in Beijing before, causing many people to not know that there is a third lady in Ye Mansion, and now these gossips have little impact on her.

The rumors that are too excessive, and the mother-in-law does not dare to spread them, after all, the female reputation of the family is now one, and one is prosperous and the other is lost. Her reputation is not good, and Ye Wanqing's will not be much better.

Therefore, most of the rumors outside now are that she is weak and short-lived. But these are enough to destroy a boudoir woman, the outside world has such an impression of her, and few normal people will consider her when they get married.

In Yang Qingru's opinion, this was a very fierce revenge, but Ye Shuyao didn't take it to heart. If she really can't get married, it's better to be a self-combing girl, except that the court will levy more taxes, and there is no harm.

When winter was about to begin, the eldest brother Ye Jianan came to see her. Previously, he and Ye Qichen were out for disaster relief together, and after returning to the house, everyone said that the third lady had tuberculosis, which frightened him. Now that he saw Ye Shuyao standing here well, taller than before, he was relieved.

"Shu Yao, the conditions in the village are not as good as in the house, I brought you some furs. You're weak, so you still need to wear more. ”

Looking at Ye Jianan's serious face, Shu Jiao couldn't help laughing. "There's so much use there, and the charcoal fire here has already started to burn, and it won't freeze. ”

"It's all shipped by the merchants over there, I think it's pretty good, so I'll buy more, if you don't like it, keep it for reward, it's not worth a few dollars anyway." ”

In fact, these are all good fox fur mink, where it is cheaper, Ye Shuyao, who is new to the shopping mall, can also roughly estimate the price. But the kindness of the eldest brother is really hard to push. "Then I'll take it, if the eldest brother is not in a hurry, he will stay for a meal, there is nothing else in the Zhuangzi, and the food is still very fresh." ”

Ye Jianan responded very simply, the dinner was mainly stewed mutton, and Zhiyan's craftsmanship has improved again, not only does it not have any smell of mutton, but the mutton fried first and then stewed is slightly spicy and crispy, which makes people appetize. Supplemented by the unique side dishes of the village, the guests and hosts enjoyed a meal, and Ye Shuyao's hands and feet that had been cold after the autumn even sweated a lot.

It was getting late after dinner, Ye Jianan wanted to go back to the house before the city gate was closed, and Shu Jiao didn't leave him much, but only told him to be careful, and he could come to eat whenever he was free. Ye Jianan licked the corners of his mouth, obviously still unsatisfied, and agreed politely at all.

After Ye Jianan left, Ye Shuyao slightly sorted out the furs he sent and simply classified them. I left a few of my favorites, and as for the rest, the maids have worked hard for so long, and they should make a few more clothes. The bright colors are given to Banxia and Zhimo, the more elegant ones are given to perilla and Zhiyan, and the Zhishu and Zhili are suitable for calmer colors.

Now Ye Shuyao's aesthetics have also improved a lot, so she is very attentive to thinking about what style of coat and cloak to make, so that Zhao Yuhe suddenly flashed in front of her without noticing.

"Where did you get so many skins?" Zhao Yuhe's heart was a little uncomfortable, the white fox he hit a few days ago, the skin was just nitrated and he was in a hurry to send it over, who knew that Shu Jiao had so many here.

"Huh?" Ye Shuyao was still not used to his sudden appearance without warning, "This is sent by my eldest brother." ”

I heard that it was sent by the future brother-in-law, Zhao Yu felt better in his heart, but looking at the fur in front of him, he was still a little hesitant, would Shu Yao like to send it himself?

Ye Shuyao saw him holding a bag of things in a daze, a little strange. "What do you have in your hand? ”

"This, this is the white fox fur I hunted a few days ago, I don't know if you like it or not. As he spoke, Zhao Yu opened the package with a nervous mood, and what appeared in front of Ye Shuyao's eyes was a snow-white and flawless fox skin.

"It's so beautiful!" Hearing Shu Jiao say this, Zhao Yu was happy with nature, but who knew that her words changed, "How cute it would be if it was a living fox." ”

Hearing the slight disappointment in Shu Yao's tone, Zhao Yuhe hurriedly explained, "This is an adult fox, cunning by nature, harmful, not suitable for domestic breeding, if you like it, I will go find a newborn little fox." ”

Ye Shuyao really didn't think about it so much, and besides, having a pet is responsible for it, she was completely unprepared. "Don't bother, I didn't think about raising foxes. ”

But Zhao Yuhe kept it in mind, the fox is really not suitable for domestic breeding, but since Shu Jiao likes snow-white fur, what should he give it?

Ye Shuyao accepted a lot of gifts from him, and he was already a little unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that he was still thinking about continuing to give them. Gifts are still exchanged, and it is a little bad to only receive and not give.

It just so happened that the eldest brother sent so many furs to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha, "What color do you like?" The furs sent by the eldest brother are very abundant, and I can help you make a cloak. ”

In fact, Zhao Yu has practiced martial arts all year round, and no matter how cold it is in winter, he doesn't need to wear a jacket, let alone a cloak. But Ye Shuyao wanted to give him something, whether he needed it or not, he happily agreed. "I'm missing a cloak, and you'd be fine if you made it for me. ”

"I didn't do it, I wouldn't even know how to use a needle and thread. Ye Shuyao is not afraid of exposing her shortcomings, after all, it is a fact that she doesn't know how to sew, if Zhao Yuhe really likes her, he won't care about this.

Zhao Yuhe was still a little disappointed, it seemed that he couldn't wear the clothes made by Shu Jiao himself, but Shu Jiao was willing to give him a gift, and he was very happy. If Shu Yao is tired from needlework, he is still distressed.

"Hey, what are you thinking, why are you so engrossed?" Ye Shuyao screamed several times before he brought Zhao Yu back to his senses.

Of course he wouldn't say what he was thinking about marrying her back to after he just came home, it didn't matter if she didn't know how to do needlework, how could he make Shu Yao worry about this if he came to support the family. "Didn't think anything, what are you going to ask me?"

"What color do you like, what style, I'll let the maid do it." ”

"Leave me alone, if you like it. Zhao Yu thought to himself, anyway, he was wearing it for her.

Ye Shuyao didn't know what he was thinking, "What's the use of I like the gift for you?" But there are indeed some problems with the aesthetics of straight men, probably what style is the same in their eyes. "Then I'll do it, don't dislike it then. ”

"No, if you like me, you like me. Zhao Yuhe hurriedly made a stand.

Ye Shuyao realized that something was wrong, and his face turned uncontrollably red when he heard this. "It's not too early, you go back first, and you can get the clothes when they're ready." ”
