Chapter 18: Winter is Coming

"Well, how is that good?" She stood in front of the window, sighing, which attracted the curious sideways glances of the maids, who gathered behind her, followed the line of sight, but found nothing.

Yingchun couldn't help it, and asked out loud: "Miss, what are you looking at?" ”

"You see, the leaves are turning yellow."

"Huh? Miss, autumn is coming, and the leaves turn yellow, which is a normal thing. ”

Liu Luoying shook her head slightly, did not explain, but continued to look at the sky in a daze.

After living in the old mansion for more than half a month, the rain finally stopped, and the air was filled with moisture, with a slight chill.

Unlike the capital, autumn here is colder, especially in recent years, and even the locals can't adapt to it, so they put on padded jackets early.

And the thing that worries Liu Luoying is that according to the memories of the previous life, it will soon snowfall here.

Although there is no danger of being disturbed by the golden soldiers, it will encounter the coldest winter in a hundred years, and many people died in this cold winter.

Although she did not witness in her previous life, she heard the old grandmother who had experienced it in the palace say that many people were frozen to death because they did not prepare winter clothes in time for this winter snow.

There are also some people who still have some surplus silver in their hands, but they are forced to have no way to live by unscrupulous merchants who sit on the ground and raise prices, even if they buy clothes for the winter, they cannot cure typhoid fever, and can only die in pain.

It is said that there was a prosperous small city, when the winter snow did not fall, the city had a population of more than 100,000, but in the end only 100 people survived, you can imagine how tragic it was.

Thinking about it, Liu Luoying decided to purchase a large number of materials for winter protection, especially the most important herbs in natural disasters.

"Welcome spring, blow winter."

"Yes, miss."

"You will use all the money you have left to buy clothes and bedding for the winter."

"Huh? Miss, it's too early, isn't it? It's only autumn. ”

"That's right, if we can go back to the capital in a few days, won't these things be useless?"

Liu Luoying shook her head slightly, and ordered in a deep voice: "You just do what I say, and you will understand in a few days." ”

"This ...... All right. ”

The two little maids glanced at each other, took out the money bag, counted the amount inside, and went out to purchase.

"Hug Summer."

"Miss."

"Come out with me."

Liu Luoying got up, walked to the bed, took the pillow, took out the items left by her grandmother hidden inside, took out a sheet of five thousand taels, and put it in her arms.

She didn't hide anything from Bao Xia, and she wasn't afraid of the place where this girl saw the silver ticket.

This move also moved Bao Xia's heart, although he was curious about where the young lady got the huge money, he didn't ask much, just quietly followed Liu Luoying out of the house.

Anyway, since the last serious illness of her young lady, she has become very stable, and sometimes, there is a feeling of unpredictability.

It's just that she never thought that going out with Miss He this time would be a lot of physical work.

When the two of them left the house, they went straight to the pharmacy, and Liu Luoying bought all the herbs to ward off the cold and relieve cough in one go, and then Baoxia supervised the work, watching the workers move the herbs into their yard.

When the people in the other courtyards saw it, whether it was the master or the servant, they all covered their mouths and snickered, saying that their brains were burned out.

And this move also attracted Liu Chengan's attention.

Under the fanning of the third room, he strode to his daughter's courtyard, and saw the mountains of herbs and the piles of cotton clothes and bedding in the house, and his whole body trembled with anger.

"You, you loser! When did you dare to spend money indiscriminately? Do you know how much money you have in your family's account? ”

"Father, listen to me."

"Hey, this Chuanbei is broken, it's obviously a defective product in someone's pharmacy, why did you buy it? Sakura, it's not that the third aunt deliberately wants to talk about you, it's really that your child is too worry-free. Don't say you can't buy things, and you spend so much money, do you think our Liu family prints silver tickets? ”

An Shi threw the Chuanbei in his hand to the ground, walked to another pile of herbs in disgust, and was about to open it to check.

Seeing this, Liu Luoying hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Third aunt, these medicinal materials of mine are originally cheap goods in the purchase pharmacy, and they can't stand being opened, so it's better not to get started." ”

"Oh, you girl, it's too much! Everyone in the family is saving money, but you are extravagant and wasteful, which is really chilling. ”

Liu Chengan's eyes were sharp, and he also felt that his daughter had done too much, so he scolded loudly: "You will return these wastes for me now!" ”

"Father, these things are for my own money, and they have nothing to do with the family."

"You, you're so bold, you don't even listen to me!"

"Father, Sakura has a reason to do this. In a few days, you will understand your daughter. ”

If it was the character of the previous life, she would have had a big quarrel with her father, but now she is sincerely reasoning with him, and even An's cynical words did not anger her.

This made Liu Chengan stunned, carefully examined his little daughter, and after a long time, said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll wait a few days, if you don't have a reason to convince me, you will stop taking the moon from home in the future!" ”

"Okay, it's a word, Sakura believes that when the time comes, the father will support his daughter." Liu Luoying smiled, and her bright eyes made people sink in their hearts, and they were faintly convinced.

Liu Chengan felt that he must be crazy, and he would believe this girl's words, and turned around and was about to leave quickly.

An's originally had a stomach full of ugly words, but it can be seen that he can save Liu Luoying's moon in the future, so he showed a smug smile, and left together, not forgetting to sneer before leaving: "Oh, Sakura, if you don't have a moon girl, you won't spend money so indiscriminately, which is a good thing." ”

"Don't worry about the third aunt."

You just wait, when the time comes, if you want to take something from me, I will definitely charge you double the money!

Liu Luoying made a grimace with her back, which made Huxia laugh, shook her head helplessly, and continued to inspect the goods.

Early the next morning, the master and servant continued to go out to buy supplies for the winter, but they met an acquaintance on the street.

"Hey, isn't that the second son of the Luo family? I remember that the Luo family seemed to say that they were going to Biansai. ”

"I don't know, I guess I heard the news and rushed back to the south again."

Seeing the familiar figure flashing in a hurry, Liu Luoying was happy in her heart and hurriedly chased after her.

"Miss, what are you going to do?"

"You go to the pharmacy first, and I'll look for you later."

The three maids were holding things in their hands, and it was difficult to chase them, so they had no choice but to walk towards the pharmacy on the corner.

On the other side –

Liu Luoying's footsteps were brisk, and she chased in the direction where Luo Ting disappeared with some trepidation.

"Tell them that in a few days I will join them."

Sure enough, it was the voice of the second cousin!

Liu Luoying's heart couldn't help but beat faster, and she walked cautiously towards the alley.

"Who?"

Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and a cold dagger pressed against the center of her eyebrows.

"Second cousin, it's me, Sakura!"
