At the end of January, there was a heavy snowfall.

The snow came so quickly and steeply that it was knee-high after a day and a night's work.

Zheng San and Ah Sen were sweeping in the yard with brooms and shovels, and saw Mrs. Wang Yi, the general guarding Zhuang Langwei, walking by the door surrounded by two little maids.

Both of them were people with good memories and saluted from afar.

Mrs. Wang's personal mother politely greeted them: "Miss Fu is doing well these days!" ”

"Thank you for your concern, everything is fine!" Zheng San smiled, "Where are you from?" It's so cold, why don't you come inside and have a cup of hot tea before leaving. ”

"Thank you!" Mrs. Wang's mother smiled and said, "I just went to the house of Chen Yimu, the Zhenfu Division, and I was ordered by our wife, and I still have something to see Mrs. Wang," seeing Zheng San's face full of confusion, he explained, "Mrs. Wang is the wife of the wealthy businessman Wang in Zhangye, and because she has the same surname as our family, she and our wife recognize her godsister." Many people froze to death in the city, and our wife wanted to make cakes in the west of the city, so she invited Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Wang to discuss this matter in the house. ”

"This is a great thing to accumulate merit!" Zheng San is a person who escaped the famine, knowing that at this time, a porridge and a meal may be a human life, and the words of praise are very sincere, unlike some people who are polite on the surface.

Mrs. Wang's personal mother was very comfortable when she heard this, and she talked to Zheng San before leaving.

Zheng Sanniang went back and told Zheng Sanniang to listen, and Zheng Sanniang and Fu Tingyun couldn't help but feel a little emotional when they did needlework together: "Fortunately, I met the girl, otherwise, we might be the ones who were frozen in the snow." ”

Outside, the clouds were thick, and the north wind was howling, shaking the window lattices.

They sat on a blazing kang. It's warm and coaxing.

Fu Tingyun smiled and asked her what was the matter.

Zheng Sanniang told Fu Tingyun about Zheng San's encounter with Mrs. Wang's personal mother.

Fu Tingyun's expression gradually became solemn when he listened, and he instructed Sanniang: "You go and seal ten taels of silver and send it to Mrs. Wang, which is donated by us." Although the silver is small, it is a piece of heart. Please also ask Mrs. Wang not to dislike it. ”

It is a pleasant thing to help others as much as you can, not to mention that Zheng Sanniang is from a humble background and is a person who has suffered a lot. She was overjoyed and praised Fu Tingyun for being a bodhisattva. He also said, "I'll donate five cents of silver too!" ”

Fu Tingyun naturally agreed.

Zheng Sanniang happily weighed ten taels of silver with a bucket, regardless of the snow outside, with an umbrella, she went to Mrs. Wang's place with one foot high and one foot low, and did not come back until the time of the lamp.

"I've seen people freezing to death on the street!" She shook the snow off her body. His face was a little pale, "It's a child, about the same age as our family Linchun." As he spoke, he wiped away his tears.

Fu Tingyun was in a heavy mood when he heard this, and wrote to Zhao Ling in the evening, asking him how the weather was over there.

After seven or eight days of snowfall, and the streets were full of muddy water, Zheng San went out to buy lamp oil and came back to tell Fu Tingyun: "The west of the city has started to make cakes." ”

Fu Tingyun thought for a moment. Let Zheng Sanniang go to Mrs. Wang: "Let's see if anyone wants help over there." If there's a shortage of manpower, you stay there and help for a few days. ”

Zheng Sanniang responded happily and went to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang happened to lack a kneader.

Zheng Sanniang got up early every day to make breakfast and warm it in the pot, and then went to Xicheng to help.

Mrs. Qi came to visit the door, and when she saw that it was Assen helping to serve tea, she asked Zheng Sanniang: "Could it be that she has a cold?" The Zhu Lang in the Rejuvenation Hall on the corner of our street is good, you go to grab the medicine and report the name of our master. He'll give you more licorice or honeysuckle. ”

Fu Tingyun smiled and thanked him, and told Mrs. Wang about Zheng Sanniang going to the west of the city to help with the cakes.

All the wives in the official office knew that Mrs. Qi was stingy, and felt that it was better to go to the temple to burn a few more pillars of incense if she donated money without a name. I am afraid that I will lose face when others ask. Thinking that Zhao Ling was not from the Yamen of the General Military Mansion, and Fu Tingyun was a girl, she must not know about it, so she came over and walked around. Unexpectedly, Fu Tingyun not only knew about it, but also asked the slaves and maids in the family to go to the west of the city to help. She suddenly felt a little unbearable on her face. "You also know that in our family, four or five children have to be fed, and it is rare for the family to eat meat on weekdays...... Otherwise, I'll donate five cents of silver! As he spoke, he gave Fu Tingyun a look.

Everyone has their own choice. Doing good should come from the heart, not out of necessity.

"Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high," Fu Tingyun said with a smile, "A little adds up!" ”

"yes, yes!" Seeing that Fu Tingyun did not look contemptuous, Mrs. Qi immediately said overjoyed, "I am also because my family is really difficult...... and said a lot of difficult things.

Fu Tingyun looked at the red gold gown she was wearing, and smiled without making a sound.

Lu Shi watched the sky clear, and also followed Xuemei to visit the door.

Seeing that Mrs. Qi was here, her expression immediately turned cold, she bowed her head slightly to say hello, and then smiled and pointed to the food box in Xuemei's hand: "It's been snowing a lot in the past two days, and Miss Fu hasn't come here, I'm idle and made some smallpox buns." How does the girl taste it? As she spoke, Xuemei had already placed the food box on the coffee table beside her.

Fu Tingyun smiled and thanked him, and asked Ah Sen to take it to the kitchen to steam: "Everyone try it!" ”

Mrs. Qi smiled and responded "good", but Lu Shi thought she had no eyes, so she picked out what Mrs. Qi didn't know. Mrs. Qi listened, her face was a little unbearable, and after eating the buns, she got up with a smile and said goodbye, and said: "This hot bun is in the stomach, and the body is warm, just when the sun comes out again, I will go to the place where Mrs. Wang gives cakes and donate some silver." Then he smiled at Lu's family: "I heard that General Mo also donated a lot of silver, do you want to go with me to have a look!" ”

For such a big event, how can there be a reason for the aunt's wife to come forward to undertake it.

"You ......" Lu Shi gritted his silver teeth, and it took a while to calm down, and sneered, "The snow is slippery, I'm afraid I'll break my leg." ”

Mrs. Qi's face turned red when she heard this, and she was about to refute, but Fu Tingyun stood up and grabbed her arm: "Mrs. Qi, the weather is not early, you don't go to Mrs. Wang's place again, you have to wait for tomorrow." Mrs. Qi glanced at Lu Shi coldly, and then followed Fu Tingyun out of the door.

When Fu Tingyun turned back, Lu Shi was sitting there hanging his head and crying, and when he saw her come in, he told Fu Tingyun with tears in his eyes: "But because it's the main room, you look down on me like this." If I hadn't seen that everyone was a neighbor, I would have filed a complaint with the general, and their relatives would have left for fear that they would not be able to eat......" Fu Tingyun persuaded her for a long time, and then she wiped her tears and went back with Xuemei's help.

These people completely ignore the local situation, and they can quarrel in her house.

Fu Tingyun was lying on the bed, feeling as if he had stepped into a river, his feet were covered with mud, and he walked heavily.

In the evening, Zheng Sanniang came back and told her happily: "The Marquis of Yingchuan told Master Wang that Master Wang would come forward to help the victims." Starting tomorrow, I won't have to go. ”

At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Taigong Tian and for Qi Guo Zheng chat, Tian often to big bucket loans, small bucket to return, to win the hearts of the people, after the abolition of Qi Kang Gong self-established as the monarch, since then, all dynasties have forbidden merchants to build bridges and roads privately, open warehouses to give grain. With the instruction of the Marquis of Yingchuan, Master Wang has no scruples.

Fu Tingyun was overjoyed when she heard this.

Relying on some women and children to save people by giving bread like this, financial and human resources are limited, and it is best for the government and capable businessmen like Master Wang to come forward.

"Just ask God to bless me and stop it snowing."

Zheng Sanniang couldn't stop nodding.

In the next few days, not only did there be no snow, but the north wind also stopped, and the weather gradually warmed up.

Fu Tingyun and Zheng Sanniang took the futon to the yard to dry, and Mrs. Wang actually brought two close mothers to visit her.

"I've heard everyone praise you for your virtue and virtue, but you haven't had the chance to meet, and when you see you today, it's really worthy of your reputation." Mrs. Wang took a sip of tea and looked at Fu Tingyun with a smile.

I saw that she was wearing a moon-white coarse cloth jacket, a beautiful blue horse-faced skirt, and her black hair was neatly curled, revealing a smooth forehead, looking clean and tidy, and she couldn't help but bow her head slightly with satisfaction.

Fu Tingyun accompanied Mrs. Wang, and responded modestly "Thank you Mrs. for the compliment", and the corner of her eyes was also looking at Mrs. Wang, who was meeting for the first time.

She was in her early thirties, of medium height, thin and dignified, wearing a royal blue vase and gown, and looked a little weak.

Listening to Fu Tingyun's words, Mrs. Wang smiled slightly, and her face was a lot kinder: "They all know that I am the least likely to praise people." I invite you to the spring banquet, and you can refuse me for the sake of filial piety for your elders; Knowing that there were people who froze to death in the city, he not only took the initiative to donate silver, but also sent people around him to help...... You are also worthy of the words 'virtuous and virtuous'! ”

Is this positive or derogatory?

Fu Tingyun didn't expect Mrs. Wang to speak so sharply, so she couldn't help but cheer up and deal with it: "Madame has won the award." I'm not just going to do it by the end of the line. ”

"But some people don't want to act even with their tails!" Mrs. Wang's eyebrows showed a little coldness, "Today's Zhangye is getting more and more chaotic!" ”

The scope of these words was too wide, Fu Tingyun smiled and said nothing.

Mrs. Wang didn't plan to change the topic, and said, "What does Miss Fu think?" ”

Fu Tingyun was naturally reluctant to do that talk, and said with a smile: "I just arrived, and I have filial piety, and I don't go out much on weekdays, but I didn't see anything." ”

"Really?" Mrs. Wang raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I heard that General Mo's outer room is following you to learn the rules?" There was a hint of disdain in his tone.

Fu Tingyun was stunned.

Mrs. Wang has said: "Although you are engaged to Zhao Zongqi, after all, you are a girl who has not left the cabinet, she is an outer room, and she treats people with sex, in and out of you, even if others know that she is learning the rules from you, she can't help but muttered a few times in her heart: A charming person, I don't know what I can learn from the girl who has not left the cabinet?" There are some things that you have to think about. In the end, there was already some serious taste, "Although General Mo has an old relationship with your family, sometimes, you have to live this day by yourself!" ”

Fu Tingyun was drenched in cold sweat when he said this.
