Chapter 199 Sister Yixue Is Everywhere
Although Yi Xue also agreed with Uncle Wen's words, she was always uneasy, saying that she would not fight unprepared battles, and if she really had any support, she would be passive on her side.

"Mr. Wang, do you know how many people there are in that northern barbarian army? If we start walking from yesterday, how long will it take to get here?" Yi Xue still asked worriedly.

Wang Yin looked at Yi Xue and knew what she was worried about. He thought for a while and said, "According to reports, this army has a total of about ten thousand people. It is not known who the generals are. But if they come over , I'm afraid it will take at least half a month."

Wen Taichang nodded in agreement, "That's right, I'm afraid it will take longer."

Yi Xue thought for a while, and then asked, "That is to say, if the time is longer, we will think that these people are dead, will we let our guard down?"

Hearing what Yi Xue said, both Wen Taichang and Wang Yin thought it made sense, and I'm afraid the other party thought so.The other party must think that we guessed that they would freeze to death in the mountains and not constitute a threat. When we relax, they will suddenly come out and catch us by surprise.

"It seems that we still have to hurry up and train the soldiers, and we can't relax. Did Songcheng also send someone to send a message to make them ready," Wen Taichang said.

Wang Yin shook his head, "Tell me now, I'm afraid they won't believe it, and it's easy to leak out. Although the current situation looks calm, the Tang Dynasty is also undercurrents, so we still strengthen the secrecy measures. We are ready to give them a chance at that time." Hit me head-on. The Shizi will inform you," Wang Yin said in a deep voice.

After discussing it, everyone returned it.

Xiao Yu received Wen Taichang's handwriting, and after reading it, he smiled and said, "This girl is really smart, she can think so much, it's no worse than what I guessed."

Day by day, half a month has passed, and the vegetables in the greenhouse have grown taller. The tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers and other vegetables have bloomed, and the garlic has also grown taller. It is estimated that it will be able to grow in half a month. Got it.This growth surprised Tianjia and the others. They didn't know the reason, but it all came down to the function of the greenhouse.

The border is also very calm, since the last war, the two sides have lived in peace.But Yi Xue felt that this was just a period of calm, and the blizzard would still come in the end.

Three days later, Mrs. Xia came with Xia Yunwan and Xia Chengwan.

The Zhang family became lively again.

"Sister, it's been windy and cold for the past few days. You can't catch a cold. There's such a big snowstorm. Let's go and see you." Zhang said with a smile.

Mrs. Xia smiled and said, "Look at what you said, my sister is not a doctor, but she still looks uncomfortable. The cotton padded clothes your family made for us are warm. The cotton is in short supply. I didn't expect your family to make it. Come out so many sets"

Zhang's family made cotton clothes and sent ten sets to Xia's family.It's not that cotton-padded clothes are precious, but this love.Perhaps when Yi Xue's family was poor, cotton was too expensive to afford, but for a truly big family like Xia's, it's okay to buy hundreds of catties of cotton.

"Auntie, the hot pot you made for us last time is really delicious, it's so comfortable, but it's a pity that there are no vegetables," Xia Yunwan said lightly.

Mrs. Zhang chuckled, "Here, you should find Yi Xue, she made it all, and we'll have dinner at night."

Mrs. Xia is also happy, the hot pot tastes really good.

"Hehe, Auntie, Sister Yunwan, let's go to the house to warm up," Yi Xue said with a smile.

When everyone entered the house, they praised the benefits of the hot kang.The Xia family didn't know about this thing all the time. It was the last time I came here, and I heard that this thing kept warm, so Master Xia also set up a kang at home, and it really was extremely comfortable.

"Sister Yunwan, look at my paintings." Sanya came over with a drawing board with a smile.

Yi Xue specially made a wooden drawing board for San Ya, and this girl carried it on her back when she had nothing to do, and drew everywhere.

Xia Yunwan took it over and saw that it was a picture of the snowing season, the snowflakes were flying, and there were five people inside, one adult and four children playing, and there was a little tiger beside it.

Although the paintbrush is immature, it is very funny. Xia Yunwan said with a smile, "Zhixue is really good at drawing, and I will be a painter in the future."

Sanya happily showed a row of white teeth, "Hee hee, I will be a painter in the future, and I will be as famous as Picasso."

Who is Picasso?Everyone didn't know, but listening to Sanya's words, everyone laughed endlessly.

In the evening, everyone ate hot pot again, talking and laughing happily, forgetting the cold outside.

"Sister, when will the puppet shop open?" Xia Yunwan asked with a smile. She was really bored during this time, and it was even more boring because it was cold in winter and she didn't go out.

Yi Xue asked with a smile, "If a lady like you doesn't go out, who would go out to buy things?"

Xia Yunwan nodded, "That's true, it seems that winter is hopeless."

"Let's wait until the spring, but I still have new gadgets, which can be sold in the Chinese New Year," Yi Xue said with a smile.

"What?" Xia Yunwan asked curiously.

"Let's go, Sister Yunwan, let's go to Xixue, let's make some good things now," Yi Xue said, but she thought of Chinese knots.

As for the Chinese knot, Yi Xue learned it with her grandmother when she was a child. When she went to high school and university, she had no time to make it.Fortunately, the craftsmanship is not lost, and now it comes in handy.

After eating, Er Ya went back to her room, Chunmei, Xia Yu, Liu Jin, Sui Yue and other maids all mixed with Xi Xue, making puppets every day when she was free.These girls are also happy. I heard that after the new year, when the weather is hot, the eldest lady will open a shop and sell these things, and each will get [-]% of the money.Although I don't know how much I can sell it for, but how much is money.So their enthusiasm for this is quite high.

Everyone asked the second lady to write down what they made, and to settle the accounts when the time came.

There are quite a lot of puppets and small bags in Xixue House now, but fortunately, there are a lot of rags, which are enough for us.

After Yi Xue and Xia Yunwan came in, Xia Yunwan saw the beautiful puppets and small bags all over the kang, and couldn't put it down.

"Sister Xixue, your hands are really skillful," Xia Yunwan said.

Erya smiled faintly, and took Xia Yunwan's hand, "Sister Yunwan, sit down, if you like, you can take whatever you want."

"You're quite grand, ha ha," Yi Xue said with a smile, Er Ya's face turned red.

"Then I want it, I want this puppet and bag." Xia Yunwan saw the big bear at a glance. The outer skin was made of orange fabric, and the inside was filled with cotton.The bear is chubby, and its eyes are as black as ink, Xia Yunwan fell in love with it immediately.The other bag is a red, blue, white and purple handbag. It looks majestic but delicate. Xia Yun wants to carry it in her hand, which feels very special.

"I'll give these two to my sister," Erya said with a smile.

Xia Yunwan asked with some embarrassment, "Should this sister pay for it?"

Er Ya shook her head, but Yi Xue said, "It's fine to pay, and I won't be afraid to make ends meet in the future."

Xia Yunwan looked at Yi Xue with beautiful eyes, and pretended to be angry and said, "Sister is so stingy, I don't have much money, sister, I will return it to sister Xixue when I earn money later"

"No, no need", Erya, a shy child, couldn't see Xia Yunwan's joke, and waved her hands in panic.

"Sister Yunwan, you scared Xixue." Yi Xue laughed.

Xia Yunwan smiled faintly, "Okay, what did you tell us to do?"

Erya, Chunmei and the others heard Xia Yunwan's words, and immediately realized that the eldest lady had something new, and looked at the eldest lady happily.

Yi Xue smiled faintly, "Chunmei, take some of the red ribbon that I prepared to make the handle of the bag last time."

Chunmei went happily, she would not come here with a lot of thick red ropes.Yi Xue asked everyone to straighten out the red ropes and weave them together. Everyone watched curiously.

After more than half an hour, Yi Xue weaved a wishful knot, the size of a palm.

"This is so beautiful, it's booming," Xia Yunwan said in surprise.

"This one is called a wishful knot, which symbolizes good luck. This one is small, but I can make a big one," Yixue said with a smile.

"Elder Sister, teach us how to weave", Erya immediately became interested.

Yi Xue nodded and taught everyone to weave Chinese knots. From afternoon to night, Yi Xue and others were busy in Erya's room.

The Wishful Knot, Bright Future Knot, Double Happiness Knot, Fish Knot, etc. were all woven one by one under Yi Xue's guidance.

"Yixue, why do you think it's not as good-looking as yours?" Xia Yunwan asked with a sad face while holding the double happiness knot in her hand.

Yi Xue laughed, "Sister Yunwan, you're talented, so you're naturally unfamiliar, just make up a few more, this thing is practice makes perfect"

Xia Yunwan nodded, "Well, but I want to keep this, it's also the first time I made a knot."

……

After Xia Chengwan came, Madam Xia forced her to listen to Wang Yin's lecture with Xiaojun.This child is good everywhere, but he doesn't like reading.

"Sister Zhixue, let's go play snowball today, shall we?" Although Xia Chengwan was older than Sanya, he couldn't please her every time in front of Sanya, and it was the same this time.

Sanya waved her hand and said seriously, "Brother Chengwan, I still have to draw. The elder sister said that children should learn to study. Children who do not study well are not liked by adults. I don't want my mother and elder sister to dislike it." "

Xia Chengwan had a bitter face, "Then I will study hard, can you play with me?"

Sanya hummed, then squinted her eyes and said, "Okay, but brother Chengwan, you don't know as many words as I do. A good boy should read more, the elder sister said..."

Xia Chengwan is suffering even more, why does sister Yi Xue always say, sister Yi Xue is always everywhere.

"Then I'll study hard, and when I know more words than you, I'll play with you again, okay?" Xia Chengwan said aggrievedly.

Sanya chuckled, "That's good, come and play with me when you know a lot of words." After speaking, Sanya jumped and ran away.

Xia Chengwan: "..."

A few days later, Mrs. Xia took Xia Yunwan and the unlucky and depressed Xia Chengwan back.

Seven or eight days later, Wang Yin came to look for Yi Xue on his own initiative.
