There are more and more refugees pouring into the capital, so much so that Jing Zhaoyin, who was ordered by the emperor to open a warehouse to release grain, was instantly broken by a rush of refugees, and there are so many corpses in the capital that have been stripped naked and frozen into popsicles can be seen everywhere. Vertices

There are no more carefree girls building snowmen in the courtyard of the Lin family, and there are no longer small girls rubbing their hands and gossiping under the corridor. There were only a few guys who were wrapped as tightly as rice dumplings, carrying four or five sacks of rice noodles to Lin Kee Rice Shop to sell at a reasonable price.

There are still three grain shops and four garment shops in the capital, of which only one rice shop and one garment shop in Lin Ji still sell food and clothing at a flat price, and the other few are no longer affordable for ordinary people.

Lin Yuan, who came back from a circle outside early in the morning, although he had a slurred father in his arms, his unsmiling face did not ease a little: "The ice in the moat is at least three feet thick, and there are many children and daughters in the area of Xiliangmen. ”

The capital is still like this, and I don't know what kind of world it is outside.

Wen Wan ignored Tang Yuan's trembling fat hand holding the spoon and poking it into the plate, and took the first step to pinch the thin skin of the diced meat and put it into her mouth: "It's not difficult, the soldiers will cover the water and the earth, and I will accompany you!" ”

Lin Yuan hummed, lowered his head and drank the porridge without saying a word.

But the kid who was standing on his lap with a tiger's head and a tiger brain wielding a wooden spoon, saw that the yellow and fragrant grain was ruthlessly snatched away, and immediately opened his teeth and claws and shouted vaguely at Wen Wan: "Ahh......h Ha...... The Devil ......"

Wen Wan, who was eating breakfast with a bow left and right, coughed again and again when she heard this, she is not a devil, she is an angel, okay?

I've never seen her son reincarnate like a starving ghost, and when she sees the food, she can't wait to pounce on her.

So another month has passed, and it is the New Year. Due to the raging wind and snow outside, the dripping water turned into ice, and the Lin family had a very bleak year, but a room of people sat together and had a reunion dinner.

Therefore, when there was a loud knock on the door outside the door, almost no one paid attention to it, thinking about the people who were just borrowing food to fight the autumn breeze.

When the courtyard door opened a human-wide slit, Fang Dashan saw that it was his father-in-law from the palace, so he bowed down and went into the house to report.

The father-in-law's intention was very simple, he summoned Wen Wan to enter the palace to talk to the queen to relieve her boredom.

Lin Yuan, who was holding his son and lighting firecrackers, didn't say anything, only took out a large handful of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Wen Wan, and asked the dumb man to follow her.

When she got out of the courtyard gate, Wen Wan opened the thick sedan curtain and saw the cold on the street. The pedestrians who hurried past with their hands in their sleeves were numb and sluggish on their faces.

In that inconspicuous corner, there were even several pairs of eyes staring at her carriage. She had no doubt that if it weren't for their large numbers, these cold and hungry people would have pounced at any time just to find something to eat.

After a few hurried glances, she lowered the curtain and closed her eyes to recuperate, and the more she saw, the easier it was for the Qian couple to press her to the cutting board and chop the meat.

When the sedan chair stopped at the gate of the palace, her hands and feet were frozen stiff, and a thick layer of snow fell on the dumb body.

"Make me a bowl of hot soup for my entourage to warm up, and then find a warm place for him to rest." When the words fell, it was two ingots of ten taels of gold.

The flickering light made the eyes of the little eunuch who led the way straight, and without saying a word, he waved his hand and called someone to bring the mute down.

Wen Wan smiled, threw the silver in her hand to him, and then tightened the thick cloak on her body and strode forward.

Kunning Palace is still as brilliant as ever, and there is still a green duck dressed as a big palace maid standing at the gate of the palace, and she smiled happily when she saw Wen Wan: "This is for your little son, wait for me to get out of the palace, and then go to see him in person." ”

Wen Wan looked down and saw that she was holding a rosewood box in her hand, and in it was a pair of ingenious bows and arrows, and even the bowstring was shining with colorful light.

"You keep it for me first, and then I'll ask you when I come out. You are willing to give me such a good thing! "Even if it is to buy people's hearts, remember to prepare a gift for her eldest son, and she will appreciate it.

Seeing that she was still as enthusiastic as before, Qingyuan relieved her heart slightly, and handed the box to the palace maid behind her before saying: "It's not a good thing, the country of Fan paid tribute, the mother rewarded me, I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha." ”

Wen Wan only smiled faintly and said no more.

Qing Yuan looked at her expression, secretly regretted that she was too talkative, and led people into the main hall of Kunning Palace in a few steps.

"Sit." After all, he has suffered for several years, although the main Qian family is covered with phoenix robes and is full of pearls, he still looks old and yellow, showing haggardness.

Wen Wan didn't know, was the phoenix seat she had to sit back with all her heart worth it?

In the past, she was as cold-hearted and cold-hearted as Qian's, like an emotionless shell, and everything could be counted clearly.

Now, after being embraced by that warm body for a long time, and being carefully cared for, she doesn't want to go back to her previous life at all, and there is only boundless loneliness on that head. After tasting this bland warmth, no one wants to take away what she is tightly guarding.

"I guess you should have guessed why I called you here?" The man above spoke out in exhaustion.

Wen Wan didn't get up, only nodded lightly: "The capital is still like this, and other places are not optimistic when they think about it with their toes." If this snow falls for another two months, the homeless people who can't eat will surely revolt. ”

After she said this, the person on the throne coughed twice, drank a bowl of decoction brought by the green mandarin, and then slowly said: "Under the nest, there are no eggs?" If the Ming Dynasty is overturned, the Lin family's qi will be exhausted. ”

Wen Wan almost laughed, it wasn't her who blew, as long as it wasn't the end of the world, the Lin family could live. Although she didn't know Lin Yuan's movements, the Lin family's back road could never be limited to the Ming Dynasty: "What Niangniang said is that this is 10 million taels, all the cash that the Lin family can take out." ”

Qian snorted, and the words prepared in his stomach were impossible to say. What else could she say? said how the people were hungry and cold, and lay behind for hundreds of miles; Or how do the noble and wealthy families sing and dance and rise to level?

It was only a long time after the restoration of Emperor Taishang, and their husband and wife came to the door of the Lin family again. This situation is really like a punch in the fist, not to mention how aggrieved!

"There is another thing, the Mongols and Tatars jointly attacked Datong, and Wang Sui was defeated in a bitter battle, so he needed to send people over to support him immediately, which was ...... for peace."

"Niangniang, what is the use of fame and fortune at this moment when God doesn't give you food?" Wen Wan couldn't hold back after all, and interrupted Qian in a cold voice.

No matter how much his son wants to earn a future, he doesn't just let people think of it and use it, and throw it away when he runs out. What's more, the Lin family's confidence has never relied on her Qian family.
