Chapter 220: It's snowing heavily
It's snowing! The biggest snow since the beginning of winter has finally arrived!
As soon as Xue Lang asked people to send out the padded jackets for the saints and make two mattresses, the heavy snow came! Overnight, the world seemed to be painted white.
In the morning, Xue Lang woke up by himself, and Lamei and Winter Solstice didn't come to call him. However, Xue Lang didn't know the time, after so long, he still wouldn't look at the sky to count the hours. Wrapped in a cashmere quilt, there was a charcoal basin burning in the house, but he didn't feel cold, remembering that he hadn't come to call him for Lamei and the winter solstice, Xue Lang jumped up directly, turned out his fur coat and wrapped it, and ran out and knocked on the door one by one-
It's so cold, don't wake up for fear of accidents.
Xue Lang treats his subordinates, as long as he doesn't make mistakes and abides by his rules, he is still extremely generous. Since he made money selling ice in the summer, he paid for many beds of woolen quilts, as well as woolen blankets, sheepskins, etc., and also used ordinary wood to make beds for his subordinates, and spread sheepskins and woolen blankets, just because he didn't want to freeze to death in his yard.
Most of the people in these years are malnourished and have poor body resistance, and there are incidents of freezing to death every year. In order to survive the winter, Xue Lang was fully prepared. Therefore, no one had any accidents in the listening wind courtyard.
Doctor Su next door, Xue Lang was about to call Jiang Lin to wake him up, but Dr. Su had already knocked on the door in high spirits: "Wanfu, Wanfu!" It's snowing heavily, go and wake up your master, don't freeze! ”
Xue Lang said loudly: "Thank you Doctor Su, we were also about to call you to get up, and you got up!" ”
Su Han said: "I grew up in the mountains with my teacher since I was a child, and I am used to the cold, and the cold here is far worse than in the mountains, and I don't feel cold. ”
All right! Save a mattress!
Probably because the people who practice martial arts are in better health than ordinary people, Jiang Lin doesn't feel cold, Xue Lang wears a fur fur and adds warm underwear and other clothes inside, Jiang Lin only wears a thick robe, and then adds a sheepskin jacket to finish the job.
Su Han was also dressed in the same way, and when he saw that everyone in the Wind Courtyard had gotten up, he said, "Since Xue Counselor is okay with you, then I will leave first and go to the medical liao to have a look." ”
Xue Lang persuaded: "The snow is so heavy and the weather is cold, I'll let Ah Tu make some hot noodle soup first, eat a bowl and then go." ”
Su Han said without thinking: "It's too late, yesterday the hospital sent a patient who was injured by a fall on a horse, in such a cold weather, I'm afraid that my condition will change, I have to go and see." ”
After speaking, he couldn't help licking his lips and advised: "Atu's craftsmanship is becoming more and more difficult to give up, Atu remember to leave me to feed." ”
After telling him, he put on his hat and robe, and went to the doctor's house.
Xue Lang smiled, although Su Han was a little off the line at times, his medical ethics were excellent, his medical skills were also exquisite, and he was a good doctor.
Dr. Su had already performed his job, and Xue Lang couldn't be idle, so he instructed Ah Tu to go to the kitchen to light the fire first and make hot noodle soup for everyone to eat. However, Jiang Lin couldn't wait, got dressed, took a stick and went to the barracks. In the end, the hot noodle soup was only enjoyed by Xue Lang.
After eating the noodle soup, I asked Wanfu to bring the horse and rode directly to the farm to check-
In such weather, you can only ride a horse, but not a carriage. Fortunately, after more than half a year, Xue Lang finally learned to ride a horse, and the horses given by Her Royal Highness the princess were extremely docile.
This time it snowed, Xue Lang finally didn't have to wear his sneakers anymore, Dr. Su would tann the fur, and the deer sent by Dou Ko were all made into leather boots after peeling and tanning, which was not only warm to wear in winter, but also no longer had to worry about the shoes being wet by the melted snow.
Shoes made of deerskin boots, two pairs of Xue Lang, two pairs of Jiang Lin, and two pairs of Dr. Su were also divided. There are few people in Xue Lang's courtyard, and there are many servants moving around, Xue Lang bought sheepskins, and one person also made two pairs of them, so as not to delay work.
The farm is prepared for the cold before the winter, and a lot of thatch is cut on the mountain, and the pig and poultry houses are paved. Therefore, the farm did not have any big losses, but two chickens froze to death, and they were directly sacrificed to the people of the farm.
After inspecting the farm, when I returned home, I happened to meet Her Royal Highness the princess who had just returned from the barracks, and saw Xue Lang wearing a hat, wearing a coat, and coming back in snow, and asked, "Youyang went to the farm?" ”
Xue Lang: "Back to Your Highness, I just went to the farm for a run, but fortunately, the cold protection measures are in place, but two chickens froze to death, and there is no big loss in the rest." ”
Her Royal Highness did not hide her displeasure at all, and said disapprovingly: "This matter makes people go on a trip, why do you need to go in person?" Youyang doesn't care about his body so much, which makes people unhappy. ”
Xue Langyi, could it be that in the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess, his body is very weak? Xue Lang felt that this needed to be well theorized. So he said: "Your Highness, although your subordinates don't know martial arts, their health is not bad. ”
Her Royal Highness the princess directly retorted: "If you are not in good health, why did you faint outside the Reed Pass? ”
All right! When it comes to this, there is no reason to refute it, and it can't be said that it is because of the crossing!
Seeing that Xue Lang had nothing to say, Her Royal Highness the princess directly ordered: "Go back to the house and drink a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold, so as not to catch the cold." ”
Xue Lang didn't even have room for opposition, he was taken back to the house directly, and it was not easy to go back to the Wind Courtyard, so he could only follow behind Her Royal Highness the princess with a straight face, went to her office, and waited to be poured ginger soup.
So, when Her Royal Highness the princess went to the backyard to change clothes, Xue Lang was poured a belly of ginger soup, which was so spicy that his face turned green-
This ginger soup is not sweetened!
Xue Lang asked Chu Xue next to him directly: "Chu Xue girl, Your Highness has just come back from outside, you should also drink ginger soup, right?" ”
Chu Xue smiled and said, "Xue Counselor can rest assured that the ginger soup of the lady is sweetened." ”
Xue Lang couldn't believe it: "Is it only my ginger soup without sugar?" ”
The first snow girl smiled slightly and stopped talking.
Xue Lang: "......"
It's a pity that there is no trade union in the Tang Dynasty, and there is no place to sue the princess for abusing employees! What about Corporal Lixian, who said yes?
While she was grieving, Her Royal Highness came out, wearing a padded jacket. However, the leather of the padded jacket is a layer of dark silk, which is very beautiful. While walking out with his head held high, he said indifferently: "Looking at Youyang's complexion, it is obvious that he has learned a lesson, if he does not cherish himself so much in the future, this palace will let people boil a particularly thick ginger soup for Youyang to take." ”
it! Where is there such a clear threat! However, Xue Lang can only bear this threat, who made the bowl of ginger soup just now really impressive, unforgettable for a lifetime! So, Xue Lang could only respond in a regular manner: "Oh! ”
Princess Pingyang was satisfied, and said: "The team that purchased grain from Chang'an came to Weize County yesterday, and I wanted to transport it back overnight, but it was blocked by heavy snow, so I had to delay it for a few days. Thanks to the strange plan of Youyang, in just a few days, the food raised has exceeded our needs, although it is all old grain, but it has exceeded the estimate, and the difficulty of military food has finally been solved. ”
Xue Lang said: "I planned to go to the farm and come back to ask His Highness about transporting grain, but now I can transport it back before the river freezes, and my subordinates will rest assured." ”
Princess Pingyang looked up at the snowflakes that were still falling outside the house, and said, "There is such a heavy snow inside the gate, I don't know what happened outside the gate?" It has always been colder outside the Guanwai than inside the Guan, and the snow should fall heavier, so our army should be prepared for the Turks to move south. ”
History records that the Famine occurred only when the Turks suffered from snowstorms. Her Royal Highness the princess can make his own judgment according to the time of day, it is better than Xue Lang being a god, otherwise he will have a headache How to imply that the Turks are suffering from the snow disaster.
Xue Lang said solemnly: "Hunger will make people crazy!" Even if we know that our army has good weapons to guard the pass, driven by hunger, I am afraid that someone will still knock on the pass. If you don't want to starve to death, you can only storm and break through the Reed Pass, and the Turks will be able to drive straight in, and they will definitely starve to death compared with fighting hard and maybe be able to break through, it must be the latter that is more hopeful. Please pay attention to Your Highness! ”
Princess Pingyang said solemnly: "I know it in my heart!" ”
