Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 333 The First Snow
In such a bustling environment, the matter of a few small officials in the court because of corruption was thrown into the sea like a small splash, and it passed without causing any storms.

Gong Zhiming was originally dissatisfied with the aristocratic family's control of Donghao's key points, but he hoped that they would jump out because of this matter, especially the Linghu family.It's a pity that there have always been a few smart people in the aristocratic family for many years, and no one acted rashly.

Of course, weighing pros and cons in private is absolutely necessary, but at least on the surface they are humble and calm. As for how many cups they dropped and how they cursed secretly, no one knows.

The Linghu family spit out a full 10 taels of silver this time, and even submitted a memorial to ask to kill the Jinhekou guard, with a very special and extremely humble attitude.

In this way, even if Gongzhi knew that there was something wrong with the iron ore turned in, he could only let it go gently.

As soon as it entered the winter moon, the north wind became colder day by day, and suddenly stopped one day, and the weather was much warmer. The children were very happy, and ran wildly in the yard after class.

It has been a few days since Dabao and Fu'er were taken into the palace. One sheep is herded, and a flock of sheep is also released. Since Ding Wei can teach An Ge'er and the children of officials' families, naturally her own nephew and niece are also indispensable.Lin Liu is still outside the palace to visit poor children with good morals and intelligence, and will be sent to the palace as companions when the time comes.

In this way, An Ge'er has children from rich families, officials' children, his own relatives, and market children, all kinds of people around him.When we get along with each other every day, conflicts are inevitable.But in this way, subtly, An Geer also knows that the world is not an ivory tower built for him by his parents, and there are struggles and sufferings.

Mrs. Cheng stood by with Bai Zhu, feeding the children some warm tea or fruit juice from time to time, and Ding Wei started to check the account books as usual.

Now there are more than 40 shops under her name, and the Detachment of Women is still working hard to expand, trying to make the streets of every prefecture city full of the aroma of food.

Needless to say, the results of their hard work have also led to more and more account books being sent to Ding Wei, and the bank notes are getting thicker and thicker.

She added half of the silver taels that many officials and family members donated when they were invited to the palace to watch the theater earlier, making up 2000 taels, and made exactly [-] sets of large and small cotton padded clothes, which are now ready.

After finally sorting out the account books, Ding Wei shook her sore neck and complained sweetly, "I finally got hand cramps from counting the money, and my neck hurts after I counted the accounts."

Yunying brought up a cup of warm jujube tea, and after hearing this, she said, "Just throw these account books to Forsythia for accounting, you have to do it yourself. It's such a rare good weather, why not play with the little master for a while .”

Ding Wei casually pushed open the window, tried the north wind, and said, "Hurry up and tell Lin Liu to hand out all the cotton-padded clothes. It’s not a place with smoke leaks. Hurry up and distribute the charcoal for heating everywhere!”

"Master, the weather is fine, don't worry about it?" Yun Ying asked doubtfully.

Ding Wei shook her head, "It's warm today because it's going to snow soon, maybe I can't wait until tonight. Hurry up and get ready!"

"Yes, master." Yunying responded and was about to go out, and happened to bump into Gu Nai and said as she walked into the house, "Master, I'm afraid it will snow today! Do you want to take the charcoal for the winter?" Let it go?"

Yun Ying smiled and said, "Nurse and master have thought of a place together, and the master just gave orders, so I'm going to spread the news."

Only then did the old mammy feel relieved, and said with a smile, "That's good, the snow is probably too small."

Sure enough, in the afternoon, the sun disappeared, and the sky was very dark.At some point, snow flakes the size of goose feathers fell from the sky slowly, without any haste, and soon covered the entire capital city with white snow.

There are naughty boys, running wildly out of the house, cheering on the street, rejoicing the coming of winter snow.But not long after, the old lady at home took her back and wrapped her in a thick padded coat, and finally slapped her forehead, "Stay honest and play at home, and if you catch a cold when you run out, I will give you bitter medicine!"

Naughty boys are not afraid of heaven and earth, but they don't like bitter medicine very much, so they can only have fun in the yard.

But those street children who are also homeless don't have such happiness, and the beggars on the street are a little dumbfounded.No one expected the weather to change so quickly, there was no time to go to the back door of a rich man's house to ask for a ragged coat, it seemed that they could only find a shelter from the wind tonight.

If you are unlucky, it will be even worse if you catch the wind and cold, and there is no other way but to wait for death.

At such a time, some yamen servants beat the gong and yelled in various remote streets and alleys.

It turned out that the empress and the wives of the officials donated money to make new coats, and they were waiting for everyone to pick them up.

This is simply a good thing that the sky has fallen, countless people flocked to the street, happy to get a new jacket, but naturally anxious to get the new jacket. . .

It snowed heavily all night, and Ding Wei fell asleep in the middle of the night. Feeling cold, she slipped into Gong Zhiming's arms. When she got up early, she realized that there was someone beside her, so she suddenly opened her eyes and said angrily, "Oh, why didn't you go to court?"

Gong Zhiming put down the book in his hand, bowed his head and kissed her on the forehead, and said with a smile, "Every day you go to court, if you miss one day, Dong Hao won't collapse."

"How can it be, those old men in the cabinet are going to say that I am a beauty!" Ding Wei rubbed her eyes and wrinkled her nose, revealing her laziness and naivety when she just woke up.When he raised his hands, his middle coat was already half open, but his snow-white skin made Gong Zhiming's eyes darken a bit, so he threw the book in hand, and the curtain fell down again. . .

Mrs. Cheng hugged An Geer who was wrapped in a cloak and came along the veranda. When she saw Yunying and Fengjiu standing in front of the main hall, she understood a little bit, and quickly coaxed the little master to play in the side hall.

The emperor and empress who got up early to "talk heart-to-heart" did not finish the communication until the sun was three poles high, and they called someone to serve and wash.

Seeing the little red marks on Ding Wei's neck, Yunying and the others were too ashamed to look up, which made Ding Wei blush too, and gave Gong Zhiming a hard look at Gong Zhiming who was drinking water after returning his clothes.

Gong Zhiming is like a full-fledged tiger, sitting on the soft couch, curling the corners of his lips with a smile, making Ding Wei want to bite him twice.

"Feng Jiu, send a letter to the cabinet. I feel cold today and I won't deal with political affairs. Let the senior cabinet members go home to rest and don't have to stay in the palace."

Feng Jiu went down in response, and Gong Zhiming looked at Ding Wei with a smile and said, "Today is simply a leisurely day, after breakfast, I will accompany you out for a walk."

"Really?"

Ding Wei was overjoyed immediately, and the embarrassment she had just had disappeared, she rushed forward with a smile and said, "I'm going to visit the engineering college, go to the shop, and take the children to build a snowman and have a snowball fight. Are you coming too?"

"Okay." Gong Zhiming stretched out his hand and pulled her to sit down to eat together. An Geer was still young, and he was scooping up the meat porridge with a spoon. Good silk jacket.

The family of three quickly finished their meal, got in an ordinary carriage and left the palace in a low-key manner.

Perhaps the heavy snow fell a little suddenly. The wounded soldiers who were assigned to clean the streets at the beginning were still competent, but now they are a bit struggling. Many parts of the streets have not been cleared of snow. Shovel it up little by little with a shovel.Ding Wei thought for a while and felt that she had to find a way, but she didn't have a good idea at the moment, so she could only continue to peek out from the gap in the car window.

It is almost a human instinct to eat hot food in cold weather.In Ding's hot pot shop, it was already full of people's voices before noon, and the young man could be heard singing the names of the dishes loudly from a distance.

On weekdays, Ding Wei would just go in and walk around. Today, Gong Zhiming followed, and she didn't want him to go in. In case of being recognized, she would not have to accept kneeling and worshiping. It would be like a monkey in a zoo.

It's a dim sum shop. It's the time when the dim sum is baked, so you can go and sit for a while.

The snack shop's business is also good, Ding Wei ordered Lin Liu to detour to the back alley.Sure enough, the alley was very quiet. Last night, there was a lot of wind and snow, and there were still thick snowdrifts at the base of the wall, which made the place even more quiet.

Sure enough, some dim sum was coming out of the oven in the yard, and the sweet aroma wafted out, causing An Geer, who was sitting in the car playing with building blocks, to stand up immediately.

Ding Wei nodded her son's nose and said with a smile, "Greedy cats, noses are easy to use."

Gong Zhiming also took it and wanted to wrap his son tightly, but Lin Liu who didn't want to get out of the car to call the door at this time exclaimed, "Oh, there are two children here!"

Ding Wei opened the car window to look at the sound, and saw two small figures nestled under the steps of the dim sum shop's back door.It was as if an older child had hugged a younger one, and they all seemed to have passed out from the cold.

She hurriedly ordered, "Knock on the door and bring the child in first."

Lin Liuli knocked on the door panel immediately, just in time the shopkeeper of the dim sum shop, Mrs. Sun, was personally watching over the heat of the oven. When she heard the sound, she ran over to check it out. When she saw that her master had arrived, she was really shocked.Quickly opened the door to make way, Lin Liu grabbed the children one by one, and asked, "Is there a warm room, these two children are frozen outside the door, the master ordered to be rescued."

After hearing the words, Mrs. Sun hurriedly looked at the master's face.Everyone in the Detachment of Women knew that the master was soft-hearted, otherwise, they would not have bothered to arrange a way out for them again and again.If the master thinks that she is a cruel philistine who refuses to save her, it will be too wronged.

Fortunately, Ding Wei, who got out of the car afterwards, nodded to her as usual, and she was relieved.Before she could speak, she looked at Gong Zhiming standing next to the car, but she almost fell to her knees.

"Go in and talk!"

Gong Zhiming ordered lightly, and finally turned around, hugged his son and walked into the yard.

Madam Sun tremblingly agreed, and finally led everyone to the south room in the east chamber.Because these shops in Kyoto are all in front of the master, there is a room behind almost every shop, waiting for the master to come and take a break at any time.

The house is not too big, it is divided into two rooms, there is a kang inside, and tables and chairs are placed in the outside room, simple but clean, two charcoal basins are brought in now, and it will be warmed up in a short while.

Ding Wei ordered the two children to be put on the kang, checked their pulses with their own hands, looked at the eyelids of the two children, and wanted to touch their chests, but found that the older child was holding the younger one too tightly, and there was no way to separate them.
