Sure enough, within a few days, the situation in Beijing was just like what Bai Huanru and Su Hanran expected, the heavy snow closed the city, and the people outside couldn't get in, and the people inside couldn't get out. The supplies in the city are limited, and the roads to transport them have been cut off, so if they are consumed day by day, sooner or later they will be exhausted.

If it is an ordinary snow disaster, it is not enough, but this year's snow is unprecedentedly large, even if the Imperial Forest Army has been mobilized in Beijing, it is just a small road that can be used by people to enter and exit.

The speed of supply is far less than the speed of consumption, and the price of goods in Beijing has skyrocketed, but in four or five days, it is more than three times higher than the original market price, and even so, it is not something that can be bought with money.

Bai Huanru is now in charge of the family, and she knows very well the financial resources of the Su family, now everyone is in danger, and everyone is rushing to buy rice and grain. Bai Huanru also sent someone to buy some back, but the things bought back were too expensive, not to mention, and the quality was not too good.

This unjust money, it should be spent, no matter what, the face of the effort to do in the past.

Chun Ting looked at the pitiful little rice and noodles, and casually asked the price of the tube of buying Kong's mother, and was taken aback.

"Have food prices risen that high today? It's too fast, I remember that the other day the silver was enough to buy back the pearls. Chun Ting couldn't help but sigh.

Mother Kong looked at Chunting like she was looking at some rare object, the big girl next to Madame was not all pampered like a young lady, how could the person in front of her even know the price of food so clearly. Chunting's words made Mother Kong look different, so she was naturally willing to say a few more words to her.

"Don't talk about pearl rice now, it's not enough for each family to earn and buy this ordinary rice and noodles, in order to grab such a little thing, I almost didn't flash my old waist." Mother Kong held her waist and complained a few words, "It's still our wife who has the foresight to prepare these things early, so that we don't have to lose all our hair for these two bites." ”

Chunting covered her mouth, "How can I lose my hair, I look at my mother's dense hair, like a piece of satin, don't say hair loss, I haven't even seen a trace of white hair!" ”

Who doesn't want to listen to flattering good words, Mother Kong immediately smiled happily, "Chunting girl is really good at teasing me, I'm an old woman, how can it be like what you said." ”

"How could it be a joke about you, mom went to inquire around, who doesn't know that I am the most honest person and never lies." Chun Ting followed Mother Kong's words and said a few more words, and her tone changed, "But Mom also knows, Madame asked you to buy those things in private, and you are always out and about, if someone asks, don't show off that we have these things in our family." ”

"I naturally know this, and I will definitely not spread it around, Miss Chunting can rest assured." Mother Kong patted her chest and assured that she didn't show any reluctance.

Seeing that the task was successfully completed, Chunting casually said a few more words about the side matter, and went back to Yizhu Courtyard.

When I entered the courtyard, I happened to see Qiu Zhi standing under the porch and instilling rules in her ears, and when she turned her head to see Chunting coming back, Qiu Zhi waved her hand to let a few little maids who were like quails as she said disperse.

"But it's all in order?" Qiu Zhi reached out to touch the hand stove held by Chun Ting, and saw that it was really cold, so he took it, "I don't see how much you have to say to me on weekdays, this will be a long time to talk about, and the hand stove is cold before coming back." ”

"Naturally, it's appropriate, when have you ever seen a Spring Court girl come forward to do something inappropriate." Chunting grinned and put his hand into Qiu Zhi's collar, and the cold Qiu Zhi shivered.

Qiu Zhi almost threw the hand stove in his hand on Chunting, "Okay Chunting, I treat you kindly and you repay me like this, see if I don't screw your ears!" ”

The two entered the house laughing, and Chun Ting touched his deflated purse on the bed, and couldn't help sighing.

Sometimes, silver works.

As the days passed, the situation did not improve at all, only intensified.

If it was an ordinary snow disaster, there would have been a noble family who had set up a porridge shed to make a good name for themselves, but now when their own families are about to run out of food, who can have the heart to do this.

The Su family has surplus food, but Mrs. Su has always advocated keeping a low profile, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, if someone starts up, everyone is doing these things, and the Su family doesn't mind doing such a good deed.

Even so, the one on the dragon chair was still carefree, ignoring the government and politics.

This is true of a king, let alone his courtiers.

There was a mess in the capital, but Su Mansion was still the same as before. The three masters of the Su Mansion were originally all out of the gate, but now there is nothing lacking in the house, as long as the door is closed, what should it be.

Bai Huanru even wants to set aside a piece of land in the backyard to grow some vegetables, rice and grain are things that can be stored, but fruits and vegetables are different, they will rot after a long time, even if there are not many in the house, and the price outside is too high, it is much more convenient to plant some by yourself.

Since she had this idea, Bai Huanru was not a procrastinating person, so she decided to build a greenhouse in the backyard at the moment, and now she started to prepare, and she could eat it when spring began.

The people in Sufu finally got busy again, and a few mothers-in-law had been in Zhuangzi, and they had some experience in these, so Bai Huanru asked a few of them to do things, and if they wanted to do it, they had to do it well.

Chunting wanted to join in the fun, but was stopped by Qiu Zhi and detained in Yizhu Courtyard and did not ask her to go out.

"You see that the big girl of the family went to plant the yard, and you didn't stay with the lady to serve but ran out, I think the lady is too indulgent of you."

But where is Chunting the kind of pampered and arrogant person, Bai Huanru is not limited to these few under his hands, but no one has done anything out of the ordinary to worry Bai Huanru over the years. Qiu Zhi is just worried about Chunting's body, now it's freezing outside, those rough mothers-in-law are naturally not afraid of freezing, but where can a small body like Chunting withstand it. Not to mention that there are still a few little guys over there, so it's even more impossible.

Chunting put her mind away, and if she was really idle and had nothing to do, she pulled a few little maids to talk, she was not a person who talked a lot, most of the time it was others who told her that she was listening.

Qiu Zhi teased her, saying that Chunting didn't want to listen to her but was happy to mix with a few little maids, which shows that Chunting is a person who likes the new and hates the old. Bi Chunting still said that she couldn't do it, and she was not annoyed, so she still took the dried fruit and went to the little girl to relieve her boredom.

On the fourteenth day of the heavy snow closure of the city, there were already civilians who could not bear the hunger and wanted to leave the city, but they were forcibly stopped.

These spring gardens are unknown, at that time she was knocking melon seeds to listen to the little maid's talk, Qiu Zhi didn't know what she was busy with these days, winter cocoons and Xia Yun were also busy every day without touching the ground, leaving only a spring garden to become an idler.

The little maid's voice is crisp, and her speech is also subdued, which makes people listen to it very comfortably. Originally, a few people chatted about the dim sum shop in Dongcheng, and then talked about this year's four seasons clothes, and finally somehow, they talked about today's saint.

The little maid lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Sister Chunting, do you know, I heard that Concubine Wanniang, who is the only favorite in today's house, was originally a concubine of Prince Gong's Mansion!" ”

King Gong is now close to his age, and he is still an uncle in terms of seniority, and he is not a serious person, and it can even be said that he is extremely unbearable.

When King Gong was young, he was able to do things to rob the people's daughters, and he refused to admit defeat when he was old, and he heard that none of the maids in King Gong's mansion were spared, but all some postures were pulled to the bed by King Gong, and those who did not have postures were afraid that they were not even qualified to enter Prince Gong's mansion.

The things that everyone in the Su Mansion can know, it has already been rumored in the capital. The rumors are really uncertain, but if Concubine Wan was really King Gong's concubine, then this matter is really interesting.

The identity of being able to get a concubine in Prince Gong's Mansion is also a favored one, and Bao Buqi is still a woman who has given birth, after all, there are so many maids in Prince Gong's Mansion, if you ask King Gong to spoil one, he will carry a concubine, then Prince Gong's Mansion will be afraid that he will not be able to raise it. Therefore, only a woman who is favored or has a child can ask King Gong to carry a concubine.

The emperor has now reached the point where even his uncle's woman has to attack, and he is so mediocre......

Chunting didn't think so deeply, but he also knew that these things could not be talked about in private, so he knocked the little maid a few words, and he was not in the mood to talk anymore, so he told them all to disperse.

It happened that when it was time for lunch, Bai Huanru had Huanqing waiting by her side, so she sent Chunting to deliver lunch to Su Hanran.

Su Hanran didn't come back to accompany Bai Huanru for lunch in the past few days, he stayed with Mrs. Su, and he would go back to Yizhuyuan for dinner, and no one knew what the grandfather and grandson were talking about every day.

Chunting took the food box and went to Mrs. Su's yard, almost all of them have been run by Chunting in the past few days, and the little guy guarding the door has already recognized her, and when she saw her coming, she put on a smiling face before she could see the inviter. The big girl who is favored by Madame's side, who doesn't want to stammer.

The little guy said with a smile: "It's just a misfortune that the girl of the Spring Court is running on such a cold day, the master will be entertaining guests in front of me, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come back for a while." If the girl in the spring court can trust the little one, the small one will take the meal to the small kitchen to warm it, and the girl of the province will toss this trip in vain. ”

Su Hanran and his father didn't get early, and Mrs. Su was a careless person, and when there was no Bai Huanru in the past, the subordinate masters around him were used to being called masters, but Bai Huanru married in, and the maids around her had a hard time at first about how to call Su Hanran, and they couldn't call them sons like when they didn't get married, right?

Su Hanran, who was not more than a weak crown, successfully advanced to become a master, and Su Hanran laughed for a few days, saying that he was ten years old.

Chunting will be curious, at this time of year, there are still guests to visit?
