Chapter 161: Cold
He opened a box again, and all the clothes in it were cotton clothes, and he took out one of them, almost all of which did not have any needle angles, which his eldest daughter made for him with her own hands, and only his eldest daughter, with such exquisite embroidery branches, could make such good clothes.
There is also a box full of dried fruit and pickles that can last for a long time. In addition, there was a letter, he took out the letter, and then opened it, and as soon as he saw the words on it, he knew that it was written by Shen Qingci.
This word should not have been practiced well.
As soon as he saw his little daughter's handwriting, he had a little headache, obviously they were all taught by Confucianism, but she was a drag and didn't make any progress at all.
He sat down and read it word by word.
"Daddy, don't worry, Ah Ning will let Daddy eat extravagantly, this is the clothes that my sister made for Daddy, and Ah Ning begged my sister to make a few more sets for Daddy, so my sister helped Daddy make clothes, and Ah Ning also had it."
is completely childish, but every time, it makes Shen Dingshan's heart tighten and his throat hurts.
These five clothes were made for him by the eldest daughter day and night, even so, the younger daughter was afraid that he would not be enough to wear, so she begged the eldest daughter to make three more sets.
Even if he is in such a bitter cold place, as long as he knows that the children in the family are well, they are all concerned about him as a father, so no matter how much hardship he endures, he is willing.
At this time, the tent was opened from the outside, and Yan Long's master Yan Ming also walked in, and when he saw the three big boxes, he couldn't help but smile and said, "The general is so blessed, with such smart sons and daughters, they can save the lives of the generals of the three armies, and the merit is immeasurable,"
"You have won the award, but the children are worried that General Ben will starve."
Shen Dingshan didn't say anything more about these things, of course, it was impossible to say that Shen Qingci had to pay the three armies every year for the one hundred taels of military expenses, and now that the army has enough food and grass, and everyone has new cotton clothes, it can really make people feel more comfortable, no, it can be said that they can rest easy.
"You take these two sets to wear," Shen Dingshan said, pointing to the cotton clothes and boots placed in the pocket.
"Then General Xie," Yan Ming was also different from Shen Dingshan's politeness, he directly picked up a set of cotton clothes and changed them on, he was the same size as Shen Dingshan, naturally, the clothes they wore were also quite the same, as for where the cotton clothes and food sent by the Weiguo Mansion came from this time, he was also smart and would not get to the bottom of it, as long as he remembered the kindness of the three children of the Shen family.
And he is indeed right in one sentence, these grains and cotton clothes really saved the lives of the officers and men of the three armies, otherwise I am afraid that it will really be unimaginable.
And at this moment in Beijing, this sudden heavy snowfall almost buried half of the capital.
Everyone didn't expect that the snow would fall early, but it would clear very quickly, but a day passed, two days passed, and the snow never stopped.
On the first day, everyone can still calmly, and even a little curious, admiring the early spring snow, but after a few days, there is really no one to laugh at.
Cotton clothes will be able to be dried, but in addition to last year's charcoal, there is no new charcoal available, after all, it is not yet the time for the new charcoal to burn, even if those people risk the danger to burn charcoal, they are all coaxed to be snatched up, and so little charcoal, how is it enough, not enough in a mansion, not to mention the entire capital.
The weather suddenly became so cold, almost everyone was unexpected, cotton clothes, charcoal fires, this is stumped the people in the provinces, and the snow is obviously getting worse and worse.
"Princess, princess ......"
A mother-in-law hurriedly ran in, and saw Princess Jun holding her grandson coaxing, no, she missed her grandson, and her daughters came back with a few children to live, but it snowed all of a sudden.
Adults can't stand the cold, not to mention children, wearing hard cotton clothes, damp and thin, how can they not be warm, the new charcoal has not been sent back, with last year's heavy charcoal, but the point and not the point, the light, and the smoked people's eyes hurt, several children are uncomfortable crying, so that these adults have no choice, they can only warm them in their arms, and then warm them with a thick quilt, this is not crying.
But Princess Jun felt that she was going to cry, she was also cold, her hands and feet were numb from the cold, especially if she had to stay motionless here, she felt sorry for her grandchildren, they were all held by herself, I was afraid that those mothers-in-law were careless, and several children were born by themselves, and they really didn't suffer so much, and it was really not the time for the snow this year, and I still felt a little stuffy a few days ago, and it was snowing all over the sky these days.
"Did you buy it back?" She asked the mother-in-law who came in, she had already said that she was going to buy it, and there was new cotton, and now no one might make winter clothes well, so it was better to make it yourself, this adult didn't mention it, but her grandchildren were about to freeze out of the disease.
"Princess, it's hard to buy."
The mother-in-law has also urged several times, but some things, not to say that the urging can be rushed back, the heavy snow has sealed the mountain, and then added snow, the wood is also wet, there is no way to burn charcoal, even if it is burned out, but it has not yet gone down the mountain for fear that it will be robbed of people, as for cotton, where is there cotton now, there are fewer cotton plants this year.
Just a few cotton sellers, have long been empty shops, not to mention these, the grain shops outside have risen in price, if it weren't for the fact that there is still some grain in Junwang's mansion, I don't know if it is really like those ordinary people, they are about to go hungry, but there is no supply of new grain, that is, those old grain masters are not used to eating.
"So serious?" Princess Jun's heart couldn't help but chuckle, it hasn't snowed so much in Beijing for a long time, of course, there is no winter, you can't buy charcoal, your own gold and silver charcoal, not ordinary people can use it, and only they, these noble people, will buy it, so every year such gold and silver charcoal, it is also how much or how much, but this year's snow is too early, I'm afraid that it will not come and burn out, and if it can't be burned, even if they have silver, they can't buy it in their hands.
And now that even the cotton is gone, what are the children going to do? Every year, they have to prepare new cotton to make cotton clothes, and the new cotton clothes are warm, and after a year, when they take them out of the box, they are damp, and no matter what, they can't wear cotton clothes like that for the children.
But that's all it should be.
