The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 14
Uncharacteristically taciturn, Old Man Lu drank a bowl of wine, talked and laughed loudly, as if he wanted to wash away the grief of losing his wife, and tried his best to cheer up and start a new life.But everyone can see that his strong shell is just paper, and it will break if you poke it...

Sure enough, within two quarters of an hour, Father Lu passed out drunk, with tears mixed with snot, and he was in a daze of confusion. Even though he was being supported to lie on the kang, he still groped for a blue and white jar in the cabinet and did not let go.

Everyone, even fools, guessed what was in the jar, no wonder I don't see Father Lu often going to the grave, it turned out that he left... at home!

Everyone looked at each other without speaking.In the final analysis, their daughters-in-law can be buried as they like, and they can stay at home if they want to stay at home. What does it have to do with them.

But this is still a bit of a taboo after all, and it happened to be full, so everyone got up and left home one after another.

Lu Xiaomi was busy in the kitchen, and it was a bit inexplicable to see everyone like this.

Aunt Liu got the details from her husband, and whispered a few words to Xiaomi.

Lu Xiaomi didn't speak, and finally cooked a bowl of hangover soup and asked the third brother to send it over.As for why it wasn't Boss Lu, because he went to sell pancakes outside the South City Gate.

Sure enough, when the night was dark, Boss Lu drove the sledge back with Liu Xiaodao who helped.

Boss Lu was wearing a sheepskin jacket, a wolfskin hat, and a pair of cotton boots when he left. When he came back, he only had a jacket...

Faced with the elder brother who was half-frozen from the cold and almost threw himself into it, Lu Xiaomi really didn't have the strength to speak anymore.

The Qu Zong people are scattered, and the Hundred Days Ceremony of the Bai Clan is finally finished with dignity.

After Lu Xiaomi cleaned up the kitchen, he called Uncle Yang to bring back the boiled medicinal soup, and then he went to close the courtyard door when he felt tired all of a sudden.

There is an inexplicably strange blank in my memory, the pedantic and weird father, the overly kind elder brother, the brute force second brother, the sour and talented third brother...

It seems that something is slowly weaving a net in the dark, and she is the prey that the net desperately wants to catch.

The wind and snow rose again at some point, and the big snowflakes like goose feathers slowly fell from the sky, calmly and gracefully, but unfortunately, the rhythm was thrown out of order by the tyrannical north wind, and they fell into the dust embarrassingly.

Lu Xiaomi clenched his fists and took a deep breath of the cold air.The previous life was so difficult, she struggled out.In this life, she has relatives, honest and kind-hearted folks and neighbors, and the memory of the previous life as a support, and a small candied haws earns the daily necessities of the family for half a year. She has nothing to be afraid of!

No matter what it is, it can't stop her great goal of making a fortune and eating delicious food!Gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas!
The window of the east wing room was opened halfway at some point, and the reflected light just reflected the stubborn look of the girl waving her fists to the sky.

Gao Ren squatted at the window and rolled his eyes, laughing endlessly.

Feng Jian threw away the book, closed the window, and said casually, "Go to sleep."

Lao Yang naturally responded, but Gao Ren looked at his master, then glanced at the crack of the window, his eyes rolled around, and he didn't know what he thought of...

It snowed heavily all night. Many people have heard this sentence, but few people know what it means.

If the family house is shorter, after a night of heavy snow, it is almost impossible to open the door.If two trees happen to grow behind the house, blocking the north wind from blowing, then the distance from the roof to the ground under the snow nest is enough to become a track for naughty boys to slide the small sledge.

Thanks to the grandfather of the Lu family, the Lu family compound is the most imposing and solid in Laoxiongling, so naturally there is no such worry.

But the whole Lu family was not at ease, it turned out that the third Lu's winter vacation was over, and he was going back to the academy to study again.

Speaking of which, the Wilderness Academy that Lu Laosan studied in is also well-known in the whole Dayuan, and it is one of the four major academies.Of course, there is also the reason why it is the only academy in the Northland. Its literary name is not bad on weekdays, and the husbands are all well-read poems and books.

Lu Laosan has a great talent for reading since he was a child. Three years ago, at the tender age of 12, he passed two tests of Tongsheng Xiucai. He will take part in the Juren examination tomorrow autumn.

Now is the critical time, so naturally we cannot relax.Originally, because Bai's Hundred Days Ceremony has been delayed for six or seven days, if you don't rush back as soon as possible, not to mention the delay in schoolwork, it is easy for gentlemen to leave a lazy comment.

So, just after the [-]-day festival yesterday, Lu Xiaomi started to pack the luggage for the third brother, and prepared to send the second brother Lu, who was rough-skinned and frost-resistant, to the academy with him.

Although there is still more than a month before the annual leave, and this time he will return to the academy soon, but Lu Xiaomi has prepared a lot of luggage for his brother.

She herself has a blind eye to the country of Dayuan, and she doesn't understand it at all, but no matter what time it is, wealth must have the right to escort it, otherwise it is a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered. The more wealth accumulated, the closer death is.

In the future, if her plan to make a fortune is implemented smoothly, she dare not say that she will become the richest man in the Yuan Dynasty, but she will definitely be second to none in the small city of Anzhou.It is inevitable that Xiao Xiao will covet her. No one in the Lu family will gain fame, and there will be no one to rely on to protect her. I am afraid that it will be troublesome.

In this way, Lu's third son's studies are the top priority of everything in the Lu family.

Of course, putting aside these things, as a younger sister, it is also appropriate to spend more time preparing for the elder brother who is going to study far away.

When going out in the cold, the most feared thing is thin clothes and cold food.

Lu Xiaomi was not good at needlework, so she had no choice but to ask Aunt Liu again.Previously, chickens and rabbits were slaughtered, and the down and fur were preserved.

Down is rare, and more than [-] pheasants made up just over a catty. After hesitating for a while, Lu Xiaomi decided to make two pairs of down cotton trousers, one for Feng Jian and one for his third brother.

As for the rabbit fur, it is not a rare thing, more than a dozen pieces together make a cloak, even if you add a hood and two sleeves, no more than twenty pieces are enough.

Only Lu Xiaomi lived in the backyard of the Lu family, and Aunt Liu didn't have to avoid suspicion, so she simply brought her daughter-in-law Gui Zhier to move here.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are both fast and quick at work. One made cotton trousers and the other made a cape, which was roughly completed in just over an hour.

The soft and densely woven ivory-colored cotton cloth wraps the down, and is carefully sewn into a square the size of a child's palm, so that no trace of down can get out.Compared with the thick and heavy cotton trousers, they are really lovely.

Aunt Liu couldn't put it down looking at it, and praised with a smile, "Xiaomi is smart, using chicken feathers instead of cotton to make cotton trousers, such a clever idea, thanks to her thinking of it!"

The two sons of the Liu family, Gui Zhier, is married to the eldest Lin, and they get along very well with their mother-in-law on weekdays, but as long as they are human, they have selfish intentions. She has been listening to her mother-in-law praising Xiaomi recently, and she guesses that she is planning to marry Xiaomi back to her. Xiaodao is a daughter-in-law, and I feel a little unhappy in my heart.After all, with a wonderful person like Xiaomi coming in, no matter how diligent and virtuous she is, she will be compared to a fool.

But at this moment, she couldn't say it stupidly, so she raised her hand and bit off the thread in her hand, shook the rabbit fur cloak and said with a smile, "That's right, mother, this cloak is better than the ones sold in the city. The hat is still wearing a drawstring, which protects the whole head after it is fastened, and the sleeves and buttons on the front are so tightly wrapped that it is not afraid of the wind and snow.”

Aunt Liu also pulled off her cloak and looked over, her mouth was even more tut-tsk, "That's right, those cloaks worn by wealthy people in the city are just tied with a belt. It is easy to strangle people to death. This is better!"

"I also have rabbit skins at home. Tomorrow I will make one for Dad and Dalin Xiaodao."

Gui Zhi'er smiled and said, her mother-in-law nodded again and again, very satisfied, "Okay, you are still filial and considerate."

Lu Xiaomi felt very sorry for bothering the Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to help catch up with work overnight, so she went to the kitchen to order a few bowls of gnocchi.

At this moment, it happened to come in, and when he heard this, he laughed, "Auntie, what are you talking about, so happy?"

Aunt Liu quickly helped to take the tray in her hand, and replied, "Our mother is here to praise you for your intelligence. This cloak is so easy to wear. Gui Zhi'er is thinking about stealing the look and making a few."

"I also came up with it randomly. Why did I use my sister-in-law to 'steal' it back? People still think I'm stingy. Whatever my sister-in-law likes, just take it!"

"Ah, my sister is so generous, let me see your money box?"

Guizhi was joking, and Xiaomi naturally knew it, but he clasped both hands, guarding the cabinet behind him with an "annoyed" face, and shouted, "That's impossible! Auntie, take sister-in-law away!"

Aunt Liu staggered with a smile, reached out and nodded her daughter-in-law and Xiaomi, "You two are really naughty together!"

Xiaomi and Gui Zhi'er also laughed, and the three of them washed their hands and ate supper after the quarrel.

Xiaomi is very dedicated to taking care of Feng Jian's food on weekdays. Almost every two days, he has to boil a pot of meat and bone soup, put it in a clay pot and put it in the corner.It's cold in winter, and the broth solidifies, so it won't spoil or freeze hard.When you have to cook, dig two spoons, no matter the stew or the noodles, it will be very fragrant.

Just like the bowls of pimple soup tonight, pour warm water on the fine noodles to remove the pimples the size of a fingernail, boil water in a large pot, add two spoonfuls of jelly-like broth, a handful of chopped green onion and shredded ginger , a handful of shredded cabbage, and two drops of sesame oil.

In such a winter night, drinking it into the stomach is the best reward for exhaustion.

The Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't help but praise again, and after eating, they worked hard to do all the sewing.In the end, the three of them hastily lay down on the hot kang and took a nap, and it was dawn.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family bid farewell and went back to prepare the family's breakfast, while Xiaomi was even busier, preparing takeaway food for the third Lu.

Pick off half a bunch of red peppers hanging under the eaves of the main house and chop them finely.Pick a thin piece of pork and cut into soybean size, mince green onion and ginger.The spice jars of various colors were moved out and lined up one by one...

The father and son of the Lu family, as well as the master and servant Feng Jian in the East Wing, even before they woke up, they could faintly smell a spicy scent, which pulled them out of their dream very domineeringly.
