The children first gave Cui Xi'an a salute, and then moved the cloth inside.

A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl walked out, squatted down at Cui Xi'an, and said with a smile: "The master came too timely, I was thinking about giving my brothers and sisters a new winter coat, so you sent the cloth." ”

Cui Xi'an is always smiling and has a very good attitude towards all the children, so all the children are very loyal to her, but they can laugh with her when they chat.

"I also wanted to make winter clothes before I bought cloth and came back. Are you all ready? Cui Xi'an asked.

There is no cotton, no animal skins, and if she wants to keep warm in winter, Cui Xi'an asks the children to fill cotton clothes with poultry feathers. The number of down is small, so you can only let other hairs make up, cut the feathers into fine and small, and then scald them with boiling water, and there is also a feeling of some down, mixed with this down and filled in the winter coat, which can keep warm - much warmer than the winter clothes of ordinary people, so what, there are many people who do not have winter clothes. Later, the eldest child in the courtyard obtained Cui Xi'an's consent and spread the method of down filling clothes, so that ordinary people have slightly warm winter clothes to wear in winter, and many people can freeze to death.

Sweet potatoes and corn are also spreading. The children's food is solved by themselves, Cui Xi'an bought all the land near the house, not much, only four acres, but the food produced by these four acres is enough for the children to eat their stomachs. When nearby farmers saw such high yields of sweet potatoes and corn, they all cheekily begged for seeds. With Cui Xi'an's consent, the children gave sweet potato vines and corn seeds to the farmers. Farmers grow two crops on their vacant land, and the food produced to feed a large family.

They did not dare to plant sweet potatoes and corn in serious fields, because the two new crops could not be turned in as food, and because of this, the two crops of sweet potatoes and corn were not promoted as Cui Xi'an expected, and only farmers near the house planted some corn and potatoes.

"It's all ready." The little girl hurriedly said, "Since the summer, we have been preparing chicken and duck feathers. Now that everyone knows that two things keep you warm and don't throw them away, we took a lot of effort to collect the feathers that make winter clothes. ”

The little girl's name is Lotus, and she is very careful and caring, and is responsible for the housekeeping affairs.

"You do things, I don't worry." Cui Xi'an smiled, "I heard that you took in three more children? ”

Lotus nodded: "They are a family, they fled from other places, their parents are dead, the eldest child is only six years old, and the youngest is only three years old. ”

"Poor sight." Cui Xi'an sighed, this world is not good at all. The nobles lived a luxurious life, and the ordinary people did not have enough food and clothing, and many were frozen to death and starved to death.

The two had already entered the gate while talking, and as soon as they entered the door, there was a big courtyard, and all the children were practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and they didn't stop when they saw Cui Xi'an coming in. This is Cui Xi'an's rules, it's not that the children don't respect Cui Xi'an.

When their training for today was completed, these children flocked to Cui Xi'an's side and rushed to say hello to Cui Xi'an. Cui Xi'an responded to everyone with a smile, and said a few words to the three new children, encouraging and comforting the three children.

The three children thought that they would die with their parents when they died, but they didn't expect to meet Cui Da such a good brother, who not only took them in but also helped them bury their father and mother, and took them to the mansion to live with many friends. They didn't want to leave the mansion, so they naturally ran away to curry favor with Cui Xi'an, the owner of the mansion.

Cui Xi'an listened to the reports of the four housekeepers, gave them some guidance, arranged some affairs, and returned to the city with the three of Danxi. The streets of the city are not bustling, there are not many hawkers, and there are even fewer people who sell food, and there are only two or three types of food. However, the four of them did not dislike it in the slightest, and the food sold outside was much better than the food in the house. There are delicious meals in Fuchu, but unfortunately it is not their turn to eat. And when they returned home at this time, there was no food for them to eat.

One person ate a bowl of flat food, and when his stomach was full, the four of them went back to Cui's house. Quietly returned to the yard, as they quietly left, undetected by anyone.

Songyan was full of energy, and when he came back, he didn't hear anything, so he ran out of the yard to inquire about the news. This kid is not very old, he has a pleasant face, and he speaks neatly, and his popularity among the subordinates of Cui Mansion is still very good, and some people even want to help him transfer out of Cui Xi'an's yard for his good, but Songyan refused. Just kidding, eat well with the eldest lady, learn skills, and often go out to play with his friends, he was stupid before he was transferred out of the yard of the eldest lady. As a result, he was unwilling, and other people looked at him higher, thinking that in addition to being stupid, he was more loyal to love and righteousness, and such a person was worth associating. As a result, Songyan's popularity is better.

Songyan ran back after a while, his face was very bad, and he shouted loudly from afar: "Big lady, it's not good, it's not good." ”

Tanxi lifted the curtain and walked out, and scolded: "What is it called? What do you mean by being bad? The eldest lady is very good. ”

"Sister Tanxi, something is wrong, this matter is really bad for the eldest lady." Songyan ran to Tanxi, explained, pushed Tanxi aside, and rushed into the room.

Tanxi stomped his feet and hurriedly followed.

Cui Xi'an is washing his face under the service of Yanxi, but unfortunately the orphans have not grown up yet, Cui Xi'an does not have a strong background support, and he can't get the soap and toothbrush out, so he can only grieve himself to wash his face with water a few more times.

"What's wrong? What's going on? Cui Xi'an wiped the water on his face with a handkerchief, turned around and asked Songyan.

Song Yan hurriedly said: "Big lady, it's not good, Mrs. will set a family business for you." ”

"Marriage?" Yan Xi's eyes lit up, "Isn't this a great thing?" The eldest lady is about to get married, why can't you say it? Could it be that she is reluctant to be a big lady? Don't worry, the eldest lady will definitely take us all to my aunt's house and won't leave us. ”

"Ouch, my sister, why am I worried about this?" Songyan stomped his feet and said, "It's the lady who marries the eldest lady who is not good, that person, that person is the king of Qian'an." ”

"What?" Yanxi and Tanxi all exclaimed in surprise.

Tan Xi gritted his teeth angrily: "Madam is too much, she is going to kill the eldest lady." ”

"Isn't it? Madame wants to take this opportunity to get rid of the thorn in the side of the eldest lady. ”
