Chapter 213: Charcoal in the Snow
Feng Yun's simple shop and residence were completed in front of the Peace Hall.
This project does not need to be as elaborate as the parliament hall, there are materials, labor and experience, and it can be built quickly.
The shop is in the front, the accommodation is in the back, and it is scattered on the side of the avenue from the council hall to Mingquan Town. Simple, but distinctive, with Feng Yun's novelty ideas, with the experience and craftsmanship of old craftsmen, it looks chic and elegant.
When the peace talks began, the envoys of the two countries would bring a large number of forbidden army retinues, but the parliament hall was some distance away from Mingquan Town, and there was nothing nearby, and the land was all her family's.
At noon, Qian Sanniu returned from Andu County.
With the letter of Yingrong, there were more than ten cooks and helpers.
Qian Sanniu was full of joy.
"Ying Niangzi said that the first batch of winter clothes made about 5,000 pieces, and they can be shipped tomorrow morning.
Winter clothes in Pingyang County temporarily alleviated the urgent needs of the Beiyong army, but there was still a shortage.
Feng Yun thought about it and ordered Qian Sanniu.
"Let Ying Niangzi send a trilogy over in the next two days. And ......"
She smiled slightly, didn't know what to think, and calmly commanded.
"Let Nankui and Chai Ying come all the way, and say that I have an errand to explain to them."
Qian Sanniu responded, had a meal in the Chunyu Courtyard, and met Xing Dalang and the Ge brothers, so he was ordered.
Xiaoman was very puzzled, "What did the girl do when she asked Sister Nan and Sister Chai to come over?" ”
Feng Yun said: "There is a need for people here. ”
At the beginning of Andu County, in fact, Feng Yun let these concubines choose to stay in the past, but none of them left, and they all lived in Changmen.
Nagato's purpose is to work hard to eat.
Since Pei Wei didn't need them, Feng Yun reluctantly helped him.
In the past, Twenty Meiji was the same as Feng Yun, just a lowly concubine, and Feng Yun came out of Andu County and became the general's wife.
Being a housewife has lived up to her name.
At dusk the next day, Nan Kui and Chai Ying arrived in Shinshu with the team transporting winter clothes.
came with them, and Jiang Yin.
The three daughters went to the Chunyu Courtyard to meet Feng Yun, just like seeing the new master, and their attitude was more respectful than usual, bowing down and bowing together.
"Congratulations, Mrs. Hexi."
Feng Yun took a sip of the teacup, his gaze swept over their faces, "My own sisters, why are you so unfamiliar?" ”
Nankui and Chai Ying are very happy.
"That's exactly how it should be. Madame's wedding, we were far away in Andu, and we didn't have time to offer congratulatory gifts, so we brought them over this time. ”
Nankui prepares a mandarin duck concentric knot, hand-knitted, much larger than the market selling, hanging in the house is very festive.
Chai Ying prepared an embroidered handkerchief, embroidered with and Di Lian, decorated with red color, with moire seams, from the stitch point of view, it took some effort.
"Congratulations on the wedding of Madame and the general."
The lady is in front, and the general is in the back.
These two can be said to be Feng Yun's embrace.
Jiang Yin didn't prepare in advance, and when she saw the two of them presenting, her pretty face flushed.
"The concubine was stupid, she forgot about it and didn't prepare a gift for her wife."
Feng Yun glanced at her, "It's okay, it's not a serious matter." ”
Why isn't it serious?
The three girls looked at each other, and Feng Yun smiled and changed the topic.
"I asked you to come this time, because I have something to command. Let's talk about it first, are you afraid of showing up? ”
Nankui and Chai Ying shook their heads in unison.
"Don't be afraid. Whatever Madame tells us to do, we will do. ”
In such troubled times, there is no difference between the status of unfavored concubines and slaves, it is Feng Yun's kindness that allows them to be raised in Changmen Zhuangzi, without having to do dirty work and tiring work, and they live a more noble and leisurely life than most people, and the two of them are very satisfied.
Now Wen Hui is in charge of Yutangchun, Ying Rong and Kong Yun'e have started a garment workshop in Zhuangzi, and many new village women have been invited in Huaxi Village to sew winter clothes together.
The two of them also helped Feng Yun send porridge very early, but afterwards, they didn't have any other errands, and they were in a panic.
"This time I am going to open a shop in Mingquan Town, and you will be in charge."
Nankui and Chai Ying's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they couldn't live happily.
It's Jiang Yin......
She didn't take the initiative to ask for errands, so she only said, "The concubine is idle in the Zhuangzi and eats rice, so she came over to see if there was anyone who could get started." Madame has any work, just tell me. ”
Feng Yun hadn't expected her to come in advance.
Because of Chun Yuyan, she is not easy to arrange errands.
The partner's sweetheart is not easy to be called.
But the people have come, and she will not be pushed.
"You rest for two days first, and then call you when you need manpower."
Jiang Yin's eyes showed disappointment, but she was very docile, "The concubine listens to Madame's arrangement." ”
-
The daytime sun does not shine at night, as soon as dusk, the weather changes abruptly, the cold wind in the camp of the Beiyong army is bitter, cold like an ice mound, the flag on the barracks is blown to hula, and the felt door that blocks the wind reflects the cold light.
It's cold, it's cold.
Under the dark sky, a few patrolling guards had just changed their posts, their heads bowed and their hands down.
"This hellish weather, if you have a drink to drink, it's good to warm up."
"Don't fight anymore, go home for the New Year, some of your wine to drink, hold on for a few more days."
"It's too cold, I don't know when this winter coat will come out."
"General Qin said it's almost over. Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother is going to Shinshu, how can she explain to the general if she doesn't bring winter clothes? ”
"Not necessarily. The clothes you wear on your body can warm yourself...... If the general hadn't gone to Pingyang, I'm afraid he wouldn't have half a piece of clothing. ”
A few people walked towards the barracks.
After standing at the sentry post for an hour, my body was frozen and stiffened.
And they were still wearing winter clothes, which they only changed into when they went to the sentry, and the other brothers did not have winter clothes to protect them from the cold, and they did not have enough coals, so they would only get colder.
"Pilot—"
A hearty voice came from outside the barracks door.
A few people subconsciously turned around and saw several men driving several ox carts, shouting loudly:
"Madame asked us to deliver winter clothes, brother of Beiyongjun, open the door."
The soldiers at the sentry looked at each other.
Didn't you hear that Madame was going to send winter clothes?
Although it was during the peace talks, they didn't know anyone outside, so they didn't dare to take it lightly and responded through the fence gate.
"Where's the winter coat?"
"Madame did."
The soldier hesitated.
"Wait, I'll report it."
It was getting dark, and Pei Yan hadn't left the camp yet.
Helian Qian, Shi Yin, several generals, came here to complain about their grievances in Pei Zhen, and between the lines they were all kinds of dissatisfaction with the imperial court.
Pei Zhen listened without saying a word.
On the table, there is an official letter from the messenger.
It said that Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother would arrive in Andu County in two days and let Pei Yi pick up the driver......
The air is very low.
Helian Qian's voice was loud, and the voice of scolding the treasury came far away, and no one stopped him.
Until a loud report came.
"General, a few men drove the ox cart to pull the goods, saying that it was the winter clothes sent by the lady, and the guards did not dare to let them go, so please show the general ......"
Pei Yan was slightly stunned.
Without waiting for the generals to react, the tall figure had already strode out.
The big guys glanced at each other and followed behind to see what was going on.
This winter coat was personally brought by Xing Bing, and the cold wind was blowing at the barracks door, and he was walking around with his hands in hand, when he saw a group of people coming from a distance.
The person who started was none other than Pei Zhen.
"General. It's me, it's me Xingbing. ”
Xing Bing saluted.
Don't wait for Pei Zhen to ask, first invite credit to your own girl.
"Madame ordered me to wait in Changmen to make winter clothes, and now I will send 5,000 pieces, and the remaining cloth and linen wool should be able to make about 10,000 pieces......
Five thousand pieces?
Helian Qian and the others were surprised.
"Quick, open the door."
Pei Yan didn't move, looked at Xing Bing and asked.
"Madame, where did you get so much cloth and linen wool to make winter clothes?"
Xing Bingdao: "I bought it." I bought it with Yunchuan Shizi. ”
He looked at Pei Zhen's solemn face, and said happily: "I heard that Mrs. gave the general's dowry to the prince, so in exchange for these, Mrs. asked Mrs. Ying to set up a garment shop in Changmen, recruited a lot of women in the village, and worked day and night......"
In just a few words, it is countless manpower and material resources.
It's the hard work of countless people in places they can't see.
Fifteen thousand pieces of winter clothes were made in a short period of time, which was Feng Yun's greatest kindness to the general to the soldiers of the Beiyong Army.
"Madame Dashan!"
Helian Qian took the lead and bowed in the cold wind.
The crowd shouted in unison.
Pei Yan walked to the stable without saying a word, leaving only a word.
"Let Qin Dajin distribute it."
-
Feng Yun didn't waste time, and as soon as Nankui and Chai Ying arrived, he took them to Mingquan Town.
In the past two days, men have come over one after another, and the shop is in full swing, and I can't afford to wait for a while.
On the way, Nankui opened the curtain from time to time to look out.
The sky was ashamed of it, and everywhere there were shadows of trees, blown by the cold wind.
She was a little nervous, and asked Feng Yun closely:
"Why does Madame think that Yingniang and I can be up to the task?"
Feng Yun glanced at them.
"What do you guys think?"
The affairs of Mingquan Town could originally be done by others, and Feng Yun had no shortage of the two of them to help.
Before coming to Xinzhou, a concubine said cool things in front of the two of them, saying that the lady called them here, just because she took a fancy to their beauty, what is the difference between being a female trick in Yutangchun?
Nan Kui faced Feng Yun's gaze and shook his head.
"I don't know why Madame likes us, but I know that Madame wants to promote us for our good."
Feng Yun chuckled.
"There's only one reason. You are women. Like Wen Hui and Ying Rong, they are all beautiful women, good temperament, and capable women. I don't want you to bury it. ”
Chai Ying and Nan Kui looked at her in unison.
How can a woman not be buried?
Madame didn't say it, and they didn't seem to understand.
"Thank you, Madame, for making ...... perfect"
Feng Yun smiled and did not respond.
Others may think that what she is doing is like a joke, or harboring evil intentions, but she is willing to wait for the day when these people will not laugh......
The carriage slowly moved forward, and she closed her eyes to recuperate.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves, Ge Guang, who was driving, only saw a person and a rider swaying in front of him, and the horizontal knife immediately stopped in the middle of the road, and the horse took the initiative to stop, neighing, as if greeting the master.
The car is Pei's car.
The horse is also Pei Zhen's horse.
Feng Yun opened the curtain and looked out, and the man who suddenly appeared had a solemn face, extremely tall figure, and sat on the horse without saying a word, which was very scary. (End of chapter)
