Chapter 39: Jiao'er

Yangzhou Thorn Shi Yan Xiang Xun Yu recommended one of the talents to Cao Cao, and the lack of courage is Xun Yu's evaluation of him. He was once ordered to crusade against Yuan Shu, but when Yuan Shu died of illness, he was appointed as the assassin of Yangzhou and stationed in Yangzhou.

When Sun Ce was weak, he also wrote a letter recommending Sun Quan as Maocai, in order to win over the Sun family and balance Huang Zu and Liu Xun.

Now that Sun Ce has destroyed Liu Xun's momentum, Liu Xun went north to Cao Cao with the help of Yan Xiang, and Sun Ce naturally couldn't tolerate Yan Xiang.

But Qiao Wei was thinking, it seemed that the battle of Xunyang was not only behind Huang Zu, but also Yan Xiang and the Cao family forces behind him were also waiting for an opportunity.

Liu Xun, who was once the biggest powerful force in the Jianghuai region, no longer exists, and was so easily broken by Sun Ce in one fell swoop, how can such a strength not be feared.

Qiao Wei wanted to understand this, and there was nothing to worry about.

"Is there still no news from the general?"

Youye shook his head, "Wu Hou didn't bring back the news of the general. ”

"Okay." Qiao Wei looked out the window, the weather has become cold now, and some vibrant trees are inevitably the fate of falling leaves, just a breeze can stage a butterfly dance scene outside the window.

However, most of the trees are still sturdy, waiting for the winter to pass.

Yuan Langlang's house had begun to use charcoal fires, and Qiao Wei had also changed a thick mattress on his bed.

She suddenly thought of something and muttered, "The day after tomorrow should be the winter solstice." ”

"Yes."

Qiao Wei bowed, "Then I will tell the dining room to prepare some flour and fillings, and tomorrow everyone will come together to make some Jiao'er soup, and distribute it to the neighbors in the city." ”

Jiao'er is the Eastern Han Dynasty version of dumplings, and eating Jiao'er on the winter solstice also originated from Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty. When he was practicing medicine on both sides of the White River, he saw that the villagers were yellow-skinned, hungry and cold, and had frostbite in their ears in winter. So he and his disciples set up a medical shed, set up a cauldron, and made a cold and delicate ear soup to cure chilblains.

Qiao Wei just saw that when Youye came in, his ears were also red, so he thought of this allusion.

"Put the news to Li Shu and see his reaction." Before You Ye stepped out of the house, he heard Qiao Wei suddenly say this.

Youye nodded yes.

The next day, Sun Jiajun's female dependents all gathered in one place, those who can be female celebrities will make ear hats according to the patterns drawn by Qiao Wei, and those who can wrap Jiao'er will wrap Jiao'er on the side.

Qiao Ying followed behind Qiao Wei and hurried forward, looking at the satisfied smiles on the faces of the female dependents, it was clear that they were also victims of the war, because of the war, their husbands, children, and parents.

But at this time, they cherish the rare time of stability.

Yuan Langlang knew most of them and hugged them to talk about topics related to children.

"When my eldest son was born, he had to cry all day long, and at first I couldn't figure out why he was crying, I always thought that he was hungry and that his milk was insufficient. In fact, it is not at all, there are many reasons why the child cries, he will cry when he pees and pulls, and he cries in a different voice. ”

Yuan Langlang asked very humbly, "How can you hear that crying is different." ”

The woman modeled several kinds of cries, and explained them to Yuan Langlang one by one, and the woman next to her also echoed.

Qiao Wei also listened with his ears pricked up for a while, but he didn't hear the difference between these kinds of cries at all, and they all sounded the same.

"Also, the child has a fever, but don't think about wrapping him too tightly, it's easy to get a mole, my daughter is like this, and as a result, she always has to cry twice a day after three days.

One day, I met a medical officer, and I found out after asking. Wear one less piece a day, and you will be fine in two days, very well-behaved. ”

Yuan Langlang continued to ask very curiously, "What else, say more, I have a bottom in my heart, so that I won't be in a hurry in the future." ”

The ladies were very happy to share these things, and when they talked about their children, they couldn't stop talking, and they passed on their own experiences.

Qiao Wei looked at them, and suddenly felt that she was really narrow-minded, she was born in an era of peace, and she always took war and death, life and death very seriously.

She is afraid of the separation brought about by the war, and she is also afraid of the loneliness brought by separation, and in terms of peace, she is by no means comparable to any woman here, and in terms of open-mindedness, she is not like any woman here.

In their wandering lives, they do not complain about life with self-pity, but strive to live every day they can grasp well in their limited ability.

Qiao Wei thinks that she is much luckier than them, and in the position of the wife of the Sun family, she can do more, and she should not be caught up in the unknown and forget her responsibilities.

If Zhongmou dies, her plan will certainly fail, but she still has her parents and young sister to take care of, and Wancheng to guard.

Now that there are frequent wars, no one knows who the bad luck will fall on tomorrow, and she shouldn't put her hopes completely on Sun Quan alone.

Thinking about this, Qiao Wei felt that she had too much to do, how could her pace be stagnant because of Zhongmou's disappearance?

Although the harvest in Wancheng is good this year, the cold winter also came exceptionally early, and for every family, this winter may not be so easy.

She needs to mobilize those families in Anhui City and find more hope for those poor families to survive.

Soon, the first pot of Jiao'er was ready, and Qiao Wei called the children in the house, and each of them shared a big bowl.

The children rarely ate mutton, and they were happily gobbling it up, and Qiao Wei divided the generals and daughters in the mansion again.

Qiao Wei personally served Yuan Langlang a bowl, "It's Xiao Qiao's ingredients, can you taste the taste you said yesterday?" ”

Yuan Langlang took a bite after blowing lightly, "It's very similar." ”

Qiao Ying was affirmed, her eyes smiled crookedly, "That's good, I deliberately put some ginger slices to taste, and I'm worried that you won't be able to eat it Sister Yuan." ”

Yuan Langlang took another bite, and felt that the stuffing was a little toothy, and after a closer look, he realized that there was a coin in it, and he didn't know why.

Qiao Ying smiled and said, "This is the child's money, and my sister said that it was for the little nephew in her belly to add blessings." I hope that he will be safe and prosperous in the future, and that his life will be smooth. ”

Since it is a good fortune to add blessings, Yuan Langlang is naturally happy, "Then the concubine will thank Mrs. ”

Yuan Langlang wiped the money clean and handed it to Qiao Wei's hand, "Madame thinks about the concubine everywhere, and the concubine also wants to share this blessing with Madame." Looking forward to God's blessing, the general can return safely as soon as possible, and his wife will love each other and his heirs will be prosperous. ”

Qiao Wei looked at Qian Baht lying quietly in the palm of his hand, and slowly closed his palm, "Yes, I believe him." ”
