Chapter 129: Recruiting a son-in-law
In fact, Yingluo's words have a little bit of moisture in them.
She said enough to survive the winter, this is enough, it depends on how it is enough.
There are smoking cages, charcoal basins, hot tea and hot water in the house all day and night, and there is only one charcoal basin, which can only be lit for three or four hours a day, and it can also be called enough.
Why not enough? It depends on who you compare yourself to. Compared with the study of the Qinzheng Palace and the palace where the queen of the Yilan Palace lives, it is naturally not enough. But compared with ordinary people, the people outside the palace don't have the capital to burn fires all day and night to keep warm, at most they burn a little charcoal when the family stays in the house at night, and sleep while this is warm. It's the same in the palace, few masters can be so extravagant, because Empress Cao herself is a thrifty person. She's also quite frugal. On days when foreign women are invited to see them, the main hall should of course be warmer. Normally, her daily life is in the side hall, sometimes in the apse, if there is no one in the main hall and the dormitory, it will not be in vain to burn charcoal for heating.
It's the same thing if you don't have enough clothes to wear. It's a big deal that poor families can make a jacket for the New Year, and some families only have one or two winter coats in their family, what if they don't have clothes? Wrapped in a quilt and don't go out.
The charcoal sent to Lu Jingxuan is absolutely impossible to support the continuous lighting of twelve hours a day and night. As for the clothes, there are enough to wear, and there is a body to replace, which is already very good. Anyway, the fifth princess is afraid that she won't be able to release it this winter, since she doesn't have to meet guests, she doesn't need to make clothes in boxes.
As for other things, such as door felt, curtain curtains, window paper, and floor felt, they can be saved.
Even if the fifth princess quarrels about this matter in the future, Yingluo is not afraid.
She didn't deduct and abuse the fifth princess, she looked at a lot of things and sent them, if the fifth princess said that the things were not enough, it could only be said that she was used to luxury, and she was not used to thinking about it.
After returning to this matter, Yingluo waited for Empress Cao to take medicine.
"Niangniang looks much better these days."
"I feel lighter, too."
Queen Cao had a difficult life for several years in her early years, and after giving birth to the fourth princess, she didn't even have a drop of milk, and her body was really too weak. It's not hard now, but there are a lot of things to worry about. The hospital is taking two apprentices to take care of the queen's phoenix body, and she has to come over every day if she is sick or not, and the tonic has not been broken.
After drinking the medicine and rinsing her mouth, Empress Cao rummaged through the half-made purse in her hand, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of the two of them?" ”
This question is a bit clueless, and I'm afraid that another person will not be able to answer.
But Yingluo is not a stranger. She has been serving Queen Cao for so many years, and she knows best about Queen Cao's long-term worries.
"Niangniang said that Lu Gongzi and Zhao Gongzi?"
"Hmm."
"The slave maid thinks that the two of them are good, Lu Gongzi was born handsome and handsome, he has a good foundation for practicing martial arts since he was a child, and now he can write his own books, and he can be called a civil and military all-rounder. Zhao Gongzi is weaker, but he is also very polite. ”
Empress Cao nodded.
She also thinks it's good to see these two young people today.
Although there have been a lot of things in the past few days, Queen Cao also talked about Liu Fang's family affairs with her sister-in-law.
Liu Fang said that she was a daughter, but she was actually a niece, and Mrs. Cao also watched her grow up since she was a child, and did not treat her as an outsider, and also helped Queen Cao discuss it together.
When a woman is married, she can't be sloppy about who she marries.
is not as hasty as the eldest princess, and it is not decided by the emperor like the second princess, Liu Fang's relative, Empress Cao, feels that she can be more calm and pick a good pick.
There are a lot of young people, but it takes careful consideration to pick out a suitable one.
Originally, Princess Fuyu wanted to arrange a few more banquets and garden tours for this younger sister, so that she could take the opportunity to take a good look, but as soon as she was pregnant, it was not suitable to work. However, she and Meng Juma together handed a list to Queen Cao for Queen Cao to choose in detail.
Before I met Zhao Lei, Empress Cao had seen his name on the list.
