The winter solstice has arrived, the weather is cold, although Yizhou is located between the south of the Yangtze River and the north, the climate has begun to turn cold at this time, and a thick ice ballast has formed.

The thick lumps of ice under the eaves hung down in a long way, like a sharp sword, and the man-made pond had formed a thick layer of ice.

Since coming to Tao Mansion, he has not seen Tao Xianggong come back for a few months. It's like Tao Mansion didn't have such a person at all.

At this time, Yu Qi was dressed in a big hat, holding the account book in his hand, leaning on the railing, although the cold wind was blowing outside, he didn't feel particularly cold.

The foundation of his fundamental law has been laid, and with the ancestral dragon protecting his body, have you ever seen a dragon who is afraid of the cold?

Mrs. Tao is really good to him! And not ordinarily good!

There is a sufficient supply of rice and noodles in Taofu all day long, Yu Qi lives very quickly, at least he has no worries about food and clothing, and the fundamental method is also making rapid progress, and the runes flowing in his skin, flesh, and bones are several times denser.

Blood flows through his body, and he can clearly perceive every drop of blood, and even control the flow of every drop of blood.

"It's not far from the realm of flesh and bone stripping!" Yu Qi pondered for a moment.

"Boy, it's time to eat!" Pipa called out in the distance.

"It's coming!" Yu Qi responded, now that the cold winter is awe-inspiring, it is no longer suitable for dyeing cloth, and the entire Tao Mansion is idle.

Yu Qi's steps were brisk, and he walked all the way to Mrs. Tao's room, where a square table was placed with a bucket of rice and a few stacks of delicate side dishes.

It's steaming hot, and the aroma of rice is fragrant.

"Come on!" said Mrs. Tao with a smile.

Yu Qi sat next to Mrs. Tao, smiled and picked up the rice, and ate it unceremoniously.

While covering his mouth with a pipa, he chuckled: "Eat more!"

Mrs. Tao had a stove in her house, but it was too big and not too warm. All three of them were draped in thick hats and ate rice with their heads bowed.

"Madam, there are more and more homeless people outside, and if this continues, even if the Tao family is a big family, there will be a day when they will be eaten poor! If the Tao family can save thousands or tens of thousands of displaced people, can it still save hundreds of thousands of people in Yizhou?" Pipa suddenly raised his head and looked at Mrs. Tao with a pair of eyes.

Mrs. Tao frowned when she heard this, her two good-looking eyebrows were entangled, she stopped the chopsticks in her hand, and then said, "Save as much as you can." ”

Then he turned his head to look at Yu Qi, and said, "You say, what should I do?"

"Mrs. wants to give porridge to hundreds of thousands of people, although the Tao family is a big family, but it is only a drop in the bucket. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, why don't Madame give them the method of exchanging work for food? There is a lot of work in the Tao Mansion that no one has done, and there is still a lot of cloth that has not had time to be sorted out, so it is better to attract those homeless people to work, and Madame will reward them with a bowl of rice to eat!" Yu Qi said with a smile.

"But there are only so many cloths left in the warehouse, where is there so much work?" Mrs. Tao's eyes showed a gleam: "If the imperial court implements such a method, it is feasible." ”

Yu Qi smiled when he heard this: "Winter is cold, it is not easy to weave, but you can do some other work, and the Tao family is not all weaving, you can build a few more textile machines, and weave more cloth in the coming year." Or, tell them to go to the mountains to chop wood and prepare for dyeing and weaving in the coming year. ”

"The water pavilion and rockery garden in the Tao Mansion can also be repaired by taking the opportunity!" Yu Qi said unhurriedly.

"There's some truth!" said Mrs. Tao.

After the three of them finished eating, they came to Mrs. Tao's bedroom, where the stove melted and dispelled a little cold, but the bed was still cold.

There is no cotton in this world, there is no ondol, and winter depends on boiling!

The small stove was in front of Mrs. Tao's bed, and Zhu'er and Yu Qi also moved the small bed to Mrs. Tao's bed from outside the screen, and there was only a curtain between the three rooms.

It's too cold! It's too cold in ancient times!

Like that group of people at the bottom, I don't know how much they will freeze to death overnight, they all report to each other to keep warm.

The three of them sat idle, chatting in front of the fire, and in the winter there was nothing to do, and there were no accounts to do. In front of Yu Qi was a basin of loose sand, clumsy practice fonts.

"I heard that there is not much peace on the banks of the Lishui River recently, and there are evil spirits infested, and many figures have been found! That Lishui is frozen three feet during the day, but the ice melts at night, and many men who can't survive go to Lishui to fish in order to make a living! But Na Lishui is too evil, and you can see people frozen to death in the ice every morning!"

"Are there really ghosts in this world?" Mrs. Tao's body couldn't help but tremble.

"I didn't believe it before, but now I do!" said the pipa in a low voice.

"Even those unfamiliar faces have decreased a lot, and basically there is no trace in the village anymore! The iron horses of the Yizhou Hou Mansion have all been withdrawn!" Pipa said: "I heard that the iron horses of the Yizhou Hou Mansion have broken a lot. ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Mrs. Tao reprimanded, then rolled up and tightened her body: "Evil things do have things, don't talk about them easily, otherwise you will be sensed by them." ”

Then he looked at Yu Qi, who was immersed in practicing calligraphy, directly pulled it over, put it on his body, and rolled the two of them up with a big coat.

Nephrite jade is warm and fragrant, Yu Qi and Mrs. Tao are crowded together, looking at the pretty face as white and tender as jade, and the breath in his ears is like an orchid, Yu Qi shifted his gaze and turned his head to look at the obscure sky in the distance, and the clouds covering the sky and the sun rolled up.

A cold wind blew, and the window paper whirred

"It's windy, it's snowing!" said Pipa stood in the doorway and looked out.

The three of them walked to the window and looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky, dazed.

Yu Qi stood by the window, silently running the fundamental method, practicing his own primordial spirit, he has been working hard for the past few months, and he has not stopped for a day.

"Pipa, let's make a game!" Mrs. Tao looked at Pipa and turned to the stove.

"Okay!" Pipa played Go, and the two women were playing chess with great interest.

The afternoon passed like this, the sky was getting dark, Yu Qi lit a candle, and with the last ray of sunlight in the sky disappeared, a cold qi suddenly rose, and the room was soaked with a layer of frost, and even the flames in the furnace were lowered by three points out of thin air.

"Yawn~" Pipa suddenly yawned lazily.

"It's not early, let's go to bed quickly!" Mrs. Tao put down the chess pieces, slowly stood up, and walked to the bed.

Yu Qi came to the stove and filled a lot of firewood.

"The bed is so cold!" came Madame Tao's voice from within the curtain.

"It's snowing, it's a little cold tonight, why don't we squeeze the three of us!" Mrs. Tao lifted the curtain, touched her cheeks, and looked at Yu Qi and Pipa.

The three of them spoke, and a mouthful of hoarfrost appeared out of thin air.

"Hahaha, I can finally get a warm night's sleep!" Pipa laughed, and rushed towards Mrs. Tao's bed.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate, I'm a man, if it spreads......" Yu Qi's face was a little hesitant, now that the fundamental law has been cast, he is not afraid of the cold.

"Puff~"

Pipa and Mrs. Tao laughed together, and Pipa mocked: "You little finch, do you know what a man is?

Zhu'er dragged Yu Qi in and threw him in the bed: "You are in the innermost, Madame is in the middle, I sleep outside, but don't freeze Madame." ”

It was pitch black inside the curtain, but Yu Qi's eyes were like electricity, and two delicate faces like flowers appeared in his eyes.

"I can't imagine that after ten years of suffering, my life has reached the peak directly!" Yu Qi shook his head, took off his coat, and then went directly into the quilt.

Mrs. Bian and Zhu'er too, only took off a layer of outer clothes, wore thick clothes, got into the quilt, and the three of them huddled together.

Mrs. faced Yu Qi and held him in her arms, Zhu'er hugged Mrs., and the three of them slowly fell asleep in the cold night.

The weather is too cold, and even if you add a quilt, you will still wake up from freezing. Therefore, the three of them sleeping together are not as beautiful as they imagined. Whether it is Mrs. Tao or Zhu'er, they are all wearing thick clothes.

After a night of silence, Yu Qi closed his eyes, silently using the Fundamental Method, at this time opposite Mrs. Tao's face, a scorching breath erupted from between his mouth and nose, and suddenly Yu Qi's eyes moved, he seemed to notice Mrs. Tao's sweet breath, revealing a faint musky fragrance, and a wisp of cool qi flew out from Mrs. Tao's mouth and nose, drilling into his body, and was directly refined by the Fundamental Law and sent into the Yuan Shen.

"Pure Yin Qi! Could it be that the people of Daguang Dao didn't trick me? Is that map real? Can it really refine the pure Yin Qi in Mrs. Tao's body and help her resolve her pain?"

Just as he was thinking about it, in the dark night, Mrs. Tao seemed to notice a wisp of spring sun that was inadvertently leaking from her mouth and nose, and she subconsciously tightened her arms, strangled it, and put her head over it.

The words intersected, Yu Qi was stunned, feeling the cold soft red lips, a faint fragrance, the breath between the two noses intersected, the pure yang qi and the pure yin qi yin and yang blended, it was unprecedentedly comfortable.

Yu Qi didn't dare to move, but silently operated the Fundamental Law, while Mrs. Tao on the opposite side was breathing steadily, obviously asleep in the night.

early morning

Yu Qi was awake, and the night passed in a haze, feeling a wisp of fragrance and tenderness on his lips, and he subconsciously stretched out his tongue and licked it.

Then, the next moment, he sensed that something was wrong, and opened his eyes suddenly, only to see Mrs. Tao's beautiful eyes looking at him quietly.

There was no wave in his eyes, and he didn't see joy or anger, so shocked that Yu Qi didn't dare to move.

"Oh no!" Looking at Mrs. Tao's calm eyes, Yu Qi only felt his brain pounding.

"You little ghost, you don't learn well when you're so old, you actually want to take advantage of others!" Mrs. Tao stretched out her slender jade finger from the quilt, nodded Yu Qi's eyebrows, and her voice was weak. On the other side, Zhu'er slept groggily and still never woke up.

As he spoke, his red lips opened and closed, and the coolness collided, crossing Yu Qi's lips, feeling crispy and numb, cold and cold, and a tickling feeling.
