Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 168 Stupid from the cold

Ouyang Yiyun: "Is it heavy? This is already streamlined."

After speaking, he pointed to the larger box and said: "This box was picked by my father as a gift from the palace to you. Of course, there are also some for uncles, aunts and several brothers."

After saying that, he pointed to the other two boxes: "These two boxes are the gifts I prepared for you in my private treasury. There were originally four boxes, but my eldest brother said that if I send too many, you will probably refuse them. As a last resort, I reduced it by half and only moved two boxes!"

"No more words, you take a look at the gifts first. Don't delay everyone's meal just because I'm giving gifts this time."

Ouyang Yiyun saw that the table on one side was already set with dishes and chopsticks, and knew that the Li family was preparing to eat, so he used this as an excuse to urge Li Xiao to see the gifts.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, before Li Xiao could move, someone quickly took action.

"Fourth Young Master, are you telling the truth? Is there a gift from me in this box?" It was Li Qingzhu who spoke. While he was speaking, he reached out and opened the first box of gifts.

"Of course there is," Ouyang Yiyun saw this, smiled, turned to Li Dashan and the others and said, "This is a gift specially ordered by my father and chosen according to everyone's interests. I hope everyone likes it." .”

The family naturally thanked the prince politely, and then Li Qingzhu began to display the gifts one by one.

Li Qingzhu’s collection includes various books and atlases related to civil engineering and water conservancy projects. Li Qingbai’s collection includes several military books and a set of soft armor. Li Qingsong’s collection naturally includes various collections of books and handwritten notes on past academic examination questions. Li Xiao received regular jewelry, while Li Dashan and his wife received a few pieces of medium-grade fabric.

After everyone in the Li family saw the gift, they naturally expressed their gratitude again.

No matter what, this gift was chosen with great care.

After a moment, Li Qingzhu looked at the remaining two boxes and planned to continue taking action, but before his hand touched the boxes, he was slapped away by Li Yuan.

"You brat, this is a gift prepared by the Fourth Master for Xiaoxiao. Your hands may be itchy!" Li Yuan scolded with a smile, and then looked at Li Xiao.

"Xiao Xiao, do you want to open it now? Or should we eat first?" There are still customers here today, but we can't let them wait hungry.

"Let's eat first. Everyone should be hungry too." Then he looked at Ouyang Yiyun and said with a smile: "Brother Ouyang, how about I look at your gift when I go back to my yard? Let's eat together first?"

When Ouyang Yiyun heard this, he knew that he had a share in this meal, and he was very happy. Naturally, Li Xiao did whatever he said.

"This is a gift for Xiao Xiao, so Xiao Xiao naturally makes the decision." After saying that, he ordered the accompanying servants to go back first, while he sat down, as if waiting to eat.

Liuliu looked at his master and was speechless.Those who didn't know it thought that their palace lacked food for him.

Because Min Shulan had planned to stay for dinner from the beginning, the dinner was quite sumptuous.Now that there was one more Ouyang Yiyun, Li Yuan asked the cook to add another dish.

Today was considered a good day for Li Xiao. Everyone sat around a table in the hall. There was a charcoal basin under the table. The thick curtain in the main hall was also lowered, so the meal was not cold.

Moreover, because there is no rule of not saying anything after eating, and occasionally saying some pleasant words, it actually makes it more lively.

By the time we saw off the guests, it was already the end of Youshi and almost the beginning of Xushi.

It's the end of November, and it's still very cold at night. When the weather gets cold, people tend to get lazy.

Fortunately, there are servants in the family now, so Li Xiao and the others don't have to worry about it themselves. Therefore, after seeing off the guests, the family only chatted for a while and then went back to their rooms.When Li Xiao woke up the next morning, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't had time to see the gift Ouyang Yiyun had given her yesterday.

He called Chun Xing, asked where the two boxes of gifts were placed, and then happily opened the boxes.

Ouyang Yiyun gave Li Xiao a variety of things, including everything.Precious jewelry, jade, worthless shell strings, clay figurine dolls, exquisite and rare double-sided embroidered round fans, and peach wood hairpins with rough workmanship.

Well, in short, there is everything. Li Xiao even found a box containing various seeds...

"Miss, this hollow carved silver hairpin is not the most valuable, but when I look at it, it looks very beautiful. Miss, it will definitely look good wearing it!"

When Li Xiao held up a hollow carved silver hairpin, the maid Chun Xing praised it.

"It's not bad," Li Xiao looked at the hairpin in his hand and nodded. Then he put down the silver hairpin and picked up the rough-made peach wood hairpin he had seen before.

"Actually, this one is not bad. I'll use this one at home recently!" After saying that, Li Xiao put the peachwood hairpin back into the exquisite box that contained it, and then handed it to Chun Xing.

November in the capital is already very cold. Li Xiao put on her coat as early as mid-November, and when she has nothing to do, her hands are always inserted into each other's sleeves...

No way, it's cold!
Moreover, this was her first time living in the north in two lives. She had little experience in the first year, and she didn’t have time to prepare many small things, so she would just make do with it for now!
But just when she thought this was the coldest temperature she could accept, it snowed heavily on the evening of the first day of December.It’s that kind of heavy snow!

So, the Li Xiao family finally lit up the kang!
As southerners, the Li family was not used to the kang bed at first, including Li Qingzhu, who was not used to it when they first arrived in the capital.

Later, in late November, when the weather got cold and there were only family members, we usually ate three meals a day on the Kang table in Li Qing's bamboo room.

Because only Li Qingzhu's kang stove has been keeping a charcoal fire since mid-November.

Before it snowed, other people really felt that the kang was too hot and made people uncomfortable. At night, they could just warm the quilt with a soup bag in advance, and they could sleep until dawn.

Only Li Qingzhu is "maverick".

But, on the first day of December, it started to snow!

The wind made people's faces hurt, and it was extremely cold in the house with the doors and windows closed, freezing several southerners who saw snow for the first time.

Therefore, Li Xiao was the first to be unable to bear it any longer and burned the kang!

After feeling that his hands and feet were finally warm, Li Xiao asked Chun Xing to send a message to Li Gang, asking him to burn all the kangs in his parents' and eldest brother's rooms, including the servants' room.

However, for fear that his family would be too upset, Li Xiao also specifically asked not to use too much firepower.And try to put half a basin of water on the edge of the kang.

There's nothing I can do about it, southerners can't resist dryness.

On the first day of snow, the frozen family did not have dinner together, but had everyone sent to their respective houses.

　Second update. I’m late. Good night to all my reading friends.
