Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 160

The eighth master is preparing for disaster prevention with the fourth master these days.

Days of heavy snow had already attracted Kangxi's attention.

The territory of the Qing Dynasty was vast.Every year there is either a flood here or a drought there.There are not many times when the weather is really good.Therefore, when the weather is abnormal, everyone starts to be vigilant.

It is very difficult to avoid such natural disasters.We can only put prevention first.

Snow disasters are most likely to cause houses to be crushed, crops and livestock to be frozen to death, and people's households to store up insufficient food, resulting in famine and so on.

Therefore, in order to minimize the loss and damage when the snowstorm comes, it is necessary to let all localities prepare for these possible problems in advance.

Fourth master has always been in charge of the household department, involving money and food issues.Due to the heavy workload this time, Kangxi specially appointed Baye to assist.

Because fourth master is a workaholic, he is extraordinarily serious and demanding in his work.Plus time is urgent.So the top and bottom officials of the household department have been working overtime from dawn to dusk these days.When Ba Ye saw that Si Ye was guarding there and would not leave, he naturally wouldn't leave alone, so they worked overtime together.

Therefore, Ba Ye didn't have time to go into the backyard.

When he returned to Elder Brother's office one day, he saw Wu Youcai looking around at the gate of the courtyard, so he subconsciously asked, "Is there something wrong with Mrs. Mao?"

"The servant has met the master, Ge Ge said that he has something to ask the master, please come over when you have time." Wu Youcai hurriedly said to Qian'er.

"Then let's go here." Ba Ye raised his foot and walked to the backyard.

Wu Youcai hurriedly followed, and trotted back to report the letter first.

It's already past dinner time, and it's getting dark.Mao Tongtong had just finished soaking her feet and was ready to go to bed.Knowing that Master Ba was coming, he quickly asked Qingzhu to put on her shoes.

When Ba Ye entered the room, he saw that Mao Tongtong was covered in coats, so he knew that she was going to bed.

"Break so early?" Eighth Master asked.

"It's too cold, go to bed and get warmer." Mao Tongtong embraced the stove, looked at Master Ba, and said, "Master just came back?"

"Yeah. I heard that you had something to ask me, so you came here directly." Ba Ye nodded and sat next to Mao Tongtong.

"Master is really busy these few days." Mao Tongtong sighed, and said: "I am a little worried about my good master's body when I see it is so cold. So I want to ask my master, can my servant go to pay my respects to my good master tomorrow?"

Ba Ye was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's hard for you to have a heart. I've been busy these days, so I didn't go to say hello to Er Niang. You can go and have a look."

"Okay. The servant girl will take a look at the good master for the master." Mao Tongtong laughed.

Seeing her talking, Ba Ye kept moving her feet, and looking at the two charcoal basins in the room, he knew she was cold.

"Go to bed and snuggle up. I still have something to do. I'm going back to the front yard. I'll come over tomorrow night." Saying that, Ba Ye got up and walked out.

Mao Tongtong also got up quickly, "The slaves send off the master respectfully."

As soon as Ba Ye left, Mao Tongtong hurried to bed.

"Gege can actually mention it to the master just now. You are weak and afraid of the cold, can you increase the carbon quota a little bit more. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs' quota is fixed, it is still useful for the master to say a word " Qing Miao tucked Mao Tongtong in the quilt while muttering.

"Forget it, just go to bed earlier at night, and it won't be too cold. Why bother the Lord with such a trivial matter. He is already busy enough." Mao Tongtong said.

You must know that Ba Ye is a filial son.Unless you are very busy, you will go to pay your respects to the good master every three to five days on weekdays.I forgot to say hello this time, obviously I was very busy.

Hearing what she said, Qing Miao fell silent.She also felt sorry for Mao Tongtong.It wasn't noticeable when the weather was still warm.As soon as the weather got colder, Mao Tongtong's coldness became apparent.

The imperial physician has already said, let's see if the situation can get better this winter.Xia Tian's problems in Chengde cannot be completely cured in a short time.

Because I am afraid of the cold, the carbon basin in this room is not enough.Sometimes, Ge Ge would lie on the soft couch all afternoon, covered with a thick blanket.

Even though it is snowing heavily, you can't go out for activities.But walking for a long time without getting down is not good for the body.Qing Miao wanted to get more carbon, Mao Tongtong could at least move about in the house.

On the second day, Mao Tongtong got up early, remembering to greet Wei Shi in his heart, before even Qingzhu had time to call her.

"Gege, the snow has stopped now!" Qing Cong came in from outside.

"It must be that we know that Ge Ge is going out." Qing Miao laughed.

Qingzhu put Mao Tongtong on a double-breasted quilted jacket over the padded robe, tied on a thick cape, and stuffed the heater into Mao Tongtong's hands. This was the end of dressing up.

"Qingzhu, you're wrapping me up like a rice dumpling! I feel like I can't walk anymore!" Mao Tongtong said with a bitter face.

"Your maidservant is afraid that Gege will be frozen." Qingzhu smiled and said, "Although the snow has stopped, the sky is still gloomy. With your maidservant and Qingmiao supporting you, you must be able to walk without any problem."

"Okay, let's go." Seeing that it was getting late, Mao Tongtong didn't delay any longer, and went out with green bamboo and green seedlings.

As soon as I went out of the house, a gust of north wind came head-on.Mao Tongtong shrank his neck subconsciously.

It's so cold today!

A person who is used to staying in the south is really going to be conquered by this northern winter!

Because the snow has not stopped, the snow on the ground is getting thicker and thicker.Mao Tongtong was supported by green bamboo and green seedlings, but he still walked extremely slowly.

By the time the three of them arrived at Chuxiu Palace, Chen Shi had already passed.

Concubine Hui is not here today, she said she went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.Mao Tongtong was still happy and went straight to Wei's side hall.

"Slaves pay respects to my good master." Mao Tongtong blessed her body with a smile.

"Get up, sit down and talk." Wei Shi also smiled, "Why did you come here on this snowy day? Don't freeze."

"It's because our master is too busy these days, so we asked our servants to come and see you for him!" Mao Tongtong said.

The smile on Wei Shi's face became even wider when he heard that it was called by Ba Ye.

Mao Tongtong found that if he wanted to have a pleasant chat with Wei, there was only one secret, just talk more about Ba Ye.As long as it is about Ba Ye, even the fact that he ate half a bowl of rice for lunch one day can arouse her interest.

"You look very good today! Before, my grandfather was worried that the cold weather would cause your old illness to recur."

"Since I changed the imperial physician and changed the prescription, my old problem has improved a lot." Wei said with a smile: "The imperial physician also left a bottle of small medicine pills for me to take one pill every day this winter. I have been taking it all the time. Come on, it feels good."

"That's good. You are in good health, so I can rest assured. He said that when he finishes his work, he will come to greet you in person." Mao Tongtong said.

"If he's busy, don't use it. Go back and tell him that I'm fine." Wei Shi said: "It's him himself, it's so cold, don't worry about yourself when you're busy."
