Shen Xiaoxia has always paid attention to efficiency, and two thousand sets of cotton clothes were ready in a few days, and he sent people to the battlefield on the border the next day.

Everyone knows how to get this matter, and there are people who say good things and bad things, but these earls don't care.

However, there are still many people who say good things, and there are only a few people who are angry and say sour words in their mouths.

Shen Dashan did another great deed, and his reputation was resounding again in Shaoyang City. The word "good man" is completely engraved on Shen Zhong's body. Nowadays, if someone asks about Earl Shen, there may be people who don't know who it is, but if you want to mention Shen Dashan, even a three-year-old child knows who it is.

Fame is a good thing, looking at the benefits of Shen Dashan's fame. For example, Shen Dashanren opened a hall full of gold and jade, and the daily customers in the grain store are endless, and the business is unusually prosperous.

After that, some people began to follow suit, Shaoyang City is big, there are not a few people with silver, who doesn't want to have a good reputation, so the cotton in Shaoyang City was sold short.

After Shen Zhong knew about this, he laughed heartily.

"This is a good thing, if more people do this, the soldiers on the front line will not have to worry about cotton clothes for the winter."

"The old man is not only righteous, but also open-minded, which makes the old slave admire!" Uncle Qing is now the chief butler of the Earl's Mansion, and he follows Shen Zhong all day long without touching the ground, but he doesn't complain at all, with such a master, although he may not be able to soar, but he lives with peace of mind every day.

"I just did what I wanted to do within my ability, and I didn't have any big deals."

Shen Zhong is really happy to be able to help others, not for this reputation.

In the courtyard of the Summer Rain Pavilion, the newly planted bamboos are covered with snow this year, and the dark green bamboo with the white to glowing snow is a rare beauty in winter. The cold wind of winter whistled and beat the window, and the gold and bronze carved stove in the study was full of sparks, and the charcoal fire crackled, and the whole room was warm.

Chunhua rested her chin on the bookcase with one hand, her head pointed down from time to time, her eyes narrowed into a small slit, and saliva flowed down the corners of her mouth. In the other hand, the ink strip was slowly grinding in circles, and I didn't know if she slept or not.

At this time, it was noon, and it was not yet time for lunch, mint gently pushed open the door of the study with the white fungus soup that had been boiling all morning, and brought in a gust of cold wind with large snowflakes, and finally woke up the dazed spring flowers.

Chunhua snorted indecently, put down the ink strip in her hand, and stretched.

"What time is this? Isn't it time for lunch yet? Time flies! ”

Mint put down the white fungus soup and shook her head at Chunhua, who had no image of a woman.

"Sister Chunhua, it's still half an hour before noon! Did you wash your face in the morning? ”

"Washed!" Chunhua thought about it, the first thing she did when she got up every morning was to wash her face, and she would never forget it.

"yes, then why are you still hanging on your face?"

Hearing Mint say this, Chunhua quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, there was nothing?

Seeing Mint grinning again, I realized that I had been deceived.

"You little girl, dare to bully your sister Chunhua, see if I don't clean you up."

Xiao Xia looked at the two girls and didn't care about her master's casual play, and finally interrupted her energy to read the book and put down the book in her hand.

"You two be quiet for a while!"

"Second girl, you can rest for a while! I read a book all morning, and be careful of my eyes being tired. Yesterday Vanilla and I were called by Mrs. to watch you, read less books, and have time to be more female celebrities. Mint gave the second girl a bowl of white fungus soup, and chattered about it.

Xiao Xia only frowned when he heard this.

"Why are you like an old mother, learning to nag?"

"Second girl, it's not that the slave has a broken mouth, it's really time for you to learn from the girl. With the posture that you can't hold an embroidery needle now, what will you do with your wedding dress in the future? Isn't that worrying about you, slaves? ”

Shen Xiaoxia listened to the black line at the end, looking at Mint with a serious and anxious look, she finally knew what it was like for the emperor to be in a hurry and a eunuch to death.

"The second girl has silver, and the wedding dress is not easy to say, what kind of do you buy?" Chunhua didn't care about talking back for Xiao Xia on the side, because she didn't like embroidery either, and felt that it didn't matter if the girl didn't learn to embroider that kind of useless things.

Mint stomped her foot angrily, she was kind enough to persuade her girl, why did she always hold back? So he glanced at Chunhua and said angrily: "The second girl was brought bad by you, and the next time Mrs. asks me and Vanilla about it, I'll tell Mrs. like this." ”

Chunhua was dumbfounded, looked at Mint who ran out angrily, and hurriedly chased after her, she didn't want to be questioned by Madame.

Xiao Xia looked far away, walked to the window, and looked at the snow outside. Time flies so fast, seeing that it is another new year, the cotton clothes sent to the border battlefield, the senior brother should have received it a long time ago! The new news should have come back from there.

didn't let Shen Xiaoxia wait long, and the letter from the border gate came the next day.

Among the several letters, there was a handwritten letter from Hu Qing, which was the first time he took the initiative to write a letter to Shen Xiaoxia.

The long three-page letter paper, densely filled with words, Xiao Xia knew for the first time that it turned out that the senior brother still had this ability, although he didn't like to speak, but there were endless words in the pen, which was really a big discovery.

At the end, a small line of words read, 'Straight lovesickness is useless, and it does not interfere with melancholy to madness'.

Xiao Xia read it over and over again I don't know how many times, from the tears in her eyes to the smile on her face, a simple line of words can make her feel so satisfied, and she feels that all her efforts seem to have paid off.

Holding the pen on the paper, she didn't know how to express the joy and affection in her heart at this time, until the ink dripped and dyed the rice paper black.

changed one paper after another, and this was the first time that Xiao Xia didn't know how to hold a pen.

Finally, she wrote a little poem in reply.

'I won't be lovesick in my life, I will be lovesick, and I will be even more lovesick. The body is like a floating cloud, the heart is like a flying flocculent, the air is like a gossamer, and a wisp of fragrance is here, looking forward to the king's return. ’

Until this love letter was taken away by the carrier pigeon, Xiao Xia's heart was still pounding.

Will the senior brother feel that he is too frivolous when he sees this letter? It shouldn't be, his name is heroic, he should have known it a long time ago.

Looking at the carrier pigeon that had disappeared without a trace, Xiao Xia couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Soon the New Year will come, she will be fifteen years old, and when it is the year of Jilu, she can get married.

"Girl, what are you still in a daze, go to the front hall to receive the order."

"What's the order?"

As soon as she saw the second girl's confused appearance, Chunhua knew that her words just now were in vain, and they didn't hear a word at all.

"I don't know, I just know that it's the holy decree of the emperor in Shangjing, and you'll know when you go."

Xiao Xia listened and thought secretly, why is their Earl's Palace, a small farmer, always paid attention to by the emperor? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
