After Zhao Youqian and his wife presented gifts, several royal relatives presented gifts to the Queen Mother, but hundreds of officials could feel that the Queen Mother's interest was not high. Until the queen's daughter, the current eldest princess, a little girl of three or four years old, babbled and sang a birthday tune, and finally coaxed the queen mother to really open her face. For a while, the Queen Mother became an ordinary grandmother, picking up her little granddaughter and enjoying the joy of family.

Sun Siyuan didn't know the mood changes of the Queen Mother, she felt that nothing was good in this palace, the atmosphere was much stranger than elsewhere, and it was the same for a while, which made it difficult for people to relax, and she really couldn't stay.

After the birthday banquet, the emperor gave Zhao Youqian and his wife to rest in the palace, Zhao Youqian refused politely, and Sun Siyuan lived in the "Yueming Palace" for one night, and the next morning, thanked the queen mother and the queen, and went out of the palace to return home.

"The emperor and the queen mother are all ruthless people, I didn't mention your father and mother, and I don't know where they are now, so they are doing well." After entering the house, Sun Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief, the palace is really not a place for people, and she has to be careful in her breathing, for fear of making a mistake.

Of course, Sun Siyuan also knew that whatever she and Zhao Youqian said would be told to the emperor by the secret servants who were watching them. But don't you want to complain? Although the emperor disclosed Zhao Youqian's identity among the hundred officials, he completely erased Zhao Anliang's existence.

Zhao Youqian didn't answer Sun Siyuan's words, he didn't have much affection for his blood relatives, and he didn't know what to say.

Changing out of the prince's dress, Zhao Youqian wore a thin cotton coat, which was a sweater knitted by Sun Siyuan for him. "I heard that the April in Beijing is colder than Tongzhou County, so the family should buy more charcoal and order a few sets of cotton clothes." I made a "breakfast and lunch", and the two chatted about trivial matters while eating.

Sun Siyuan was already wearing a thick cotton jacket at this time, and after listening to Zhao Youqian's suggestion, she thought so. "Well, I must buy more, it's only thirteen months, but the wind blows into the brain...... Well, it's too cold. Sun Siyuan took back the word "brain-dead", so that she would not be blown into a brain-dead by the wind!

Zhao Youqian and Sun Siyuan have lived together for a long time, so they naturally know what Sun Siyuan didn't finish, according to Sun Siyuan, when she was enlightened by the gods, she met an immortal, and she loved to say "brain-dead" in everything, and over time, she was imperceptibly changed.

"Half of the vegetables in Huangzhuang have been harvested, and the rest of the vegetables are ripe, so hire more people these days and put the vegetables in the cellar." Zhao Youqian discussed with Sun Siyuan. Hundred acres of Huangzhuang, even half of the vegetables are not a small amount, if you stay in the ground, in addition to the fear of the elders, but also afraid of being frozen and rotten in the coming fourteen months, putting away the vegetables is the best choice.

Speaking of which, in order to prevent the cold, most of the vegetable farmers in the suburbs of Beijing have collected the vegetables in the field in the thirteenth month, and the vegetables in Huangzhuang have been confiscated so far, which has attracted some attention.

"It's too late to store now, and if you don't have such a ready-made cellar, let's store it on the ground." Sun Siyuan gave advice. Zhao Youqian thought about it and nodded in agreement. "Then put it on the ground over there."

The amount of work to collect vegetables is very large, Zhao Youqian and the housekeeper of Zhuang go out early and return late every day, and with the hired workers, they are busy for several days before they collect all the vegetables in the field. In order not to waste land resources, Sun Siyuan wanted to plant wheat on the ground, but was stopped by the housekeeper of Zhuang, the capital is colder than Tongzhou County, this is the end of March again, and the wheat seeds have not had time to develop into seedlings to experience the coldest fourteen months of the cold season, I am afraid that they can freeze and rot in the ground.

Sun Siyuan rubbed the wheat seeds she had cultivated in the space and gritted her teeth secretly. She planted wheat in Tongzhou County in 13 months, and harvested it a few months later, and the yield was also very guaranteed. Even if it is a little later than then, the weather is a little colder, but her wheat seed is unusual, this is a variety cultivated by herself in the space day and night, "give a little sunshine and it will be brilliant", as long as it can sprout, it can guarantee a harvest!

It's a pity...... Thinking that even a person like Steward Zhuang, who is not good at farming, knows that he can't grow wheat now, and Sun Siyuan dispelled such thoughts. After all, if the seed is too rebellious, if it attracts attention, it will also be a trouble.

The matter of planting wheat was revealed, and Sun Siyuan bought a large amount of charcoal and cotton clothes to prepare for the upcoming 14 months.

After Zhao Youqian and Sun Siyuan discussed, he gave a large amount of "year-end bonuses" to several workers who signed the contract of life and death, and each of them gave a few cotton clothes, although the style was not beautiful, but full of heart. When Zhang San and Li Si got the new clothes, they cried at the time, since they were sold by the official family since they were children, how many years, they have not been able to receive new clothes when the New Year is approaching.

Sister-in-law Jiang fainted from exhaustion when she was working, and asked the doctor to check her pulse, and found that she was pregnant, and the husband and wife were happy and sad. has been married for many years, and finally looks forward to a child, but while he is still in his womb, he is already destined to be a slave and inferior.

After Sun Siyuan found out, she bought some food for Sister-in-law Jiang and sent it, telling her to do less work and take care of the fetus.

According to the law, this child, as a child of the family, was a slave of Sun Siyuan before he was born, and when he was born and entered the household registration, he could only be listed as a slave of the Zhao family like the Jiang family and his wife.

Sun Siyuan has her own calculations, if her infertility cannot be cured, she will inevitably adopt a child, then the Jiang family's child is not unavoidable. As for the death of the Jiang family's father due to treason...... Zhao is rich or what kind of "dragon bone emperor star", if you have more debts, you don't have to worry, if you have more lice, don't itch, whatever the emperor thinks!

Before Zhao Zixuan returned, Sun Siyuan asked Zhao Youqian to send him a hundred catties of sweet potato noodles, a little heart, it was a New Year's gift!

As for how Zhao Zixuan deals with these noodles, it is not Sun Siyuan's concern.

Zhao Zixuan is a rough man of the right year, he came to the capital with two entourages, riding three horses, in order to have such a little noodles, he specially bought a horse to carry noodles on the way back, anyway, after all, it was sent by the eldest nephew, for the first time in so many years!

Poor his sister, I haven't seen him for many years, and I don't know where she is, is she healthy?

The days suddenly entered the fourteenth month, and the cold wind whistled through the capital, making the cotton clothes of the people in the capital stacked layer after layer. Zhao Youqian is physically strong, and a layer of cotton jacket is enough to keep warm; Sun Siyuan was very weak, wearing a two-layer padded jacket, and shivering when she stood in the sun early in the morning.

"If you have money, let's go back, go back...... Let's go back! Shrinking her neck in her collar, Sun Siyuan regretted her proposal to go to the street for breakfast. She had just left the house, and she was about to freeze into a popsicle.

"Didn't you say that the green vegetables and mushroom pies are delicious just out of the pot, so you have to eat Aunt Liu's?" Zhao Youqian pushed Sun Siyuan to West Street.

He got up early in the morning to make pies for Sun Siyuan, but Sun Siyuan disliked that it was not as delicious as Aunt Liu's house; Then he went to buy it and brought it back, Sun Siyuan said again that it was not delicious when it was cold. He was helpless, so he said, "Then don't eat it", Sun Siyuan and he insisted that they should get up early to eat hot food, but they retreated before they went out.

Sometimes, he wonders if he spoiled Sun Siyuan too much, the lady of other people's families, but if there is no maid servant, even in this cold fourteenth month, how can there be no one who can't get up early in the morning to cook? He was reluctant to let Sun Siyuan "freeze his hands", and when the meal was ready, he called her to eat, and she had to lie in bed for a long time.
