The strong wind swept the mountains and villages, shook the trunks of ancient trees, and even tore the thatch off some houses and lifted them into the air.

A man bowed and pushed the door open, and the cold wind poured into the low adobe house with him.

The woman sitting by the bed saw him come into the room, came over and looked at him expectantly, and asked, "master, have you got the rice noodles?" There are three children in his family. The oldest is seven years old and the youngest is two years old. The two children above are in good health. The youngest son is ill. Because the treatment was not in time. However, the youngest son had not yet eliminated the household, so he took care of the three children's rice noodles.

One child has two catties of white rice and two catties of white flour. Three children add up to six catties of white rice and six catties of white flour. For them, that's not a small number.

Yuxi said at first that he would send two Jin of white rice. Later, he thought that if the child wanted to eat noodles or dumplings, white rice would not solve the problem. The poor people are very grateful for Yuxi's behavior, but the rich people despise it because Yuxi sold his rice noodles very expensive. During the Taiping period, a jin of rice noodles cost six or seven Wen, but now Yuxi sells 60 Wen a Jin. The common people can't afford it, but the rich or eunuch families can't afford it. So what Yuxi earns is all the money of these people.

Soybeans from his arms took out a cloth bag, happily said: "received, six Jin of white rice, six Jin of white flour." The government posted notices, and the people directly took the registered residence to the food store in the place they belonged to. There is no intermediate procedure, which avoids the possibility of being manipulated.

Aunt Huang took the cloth bag and opened it. Tears came: "if only Xiao San were alive, she could drink a mouthful of rice porridge and eat a mouthful of dumplings."

Soybean son is also very sad, but the child has gone, again sad also useless: "don't say so much, hurry to cook porridge for the children to eat." The two children are now lying in bed, not sick, but outside is too cold, lying in bed warm. Besides, it doesn't cost much food to lie in bed without exercise.

Huang Dalang heard that there was white flour and said, "Niang, I want to eat noodles." For Huang Dalang, oily noodles are the most delicious food. But he also knows the current situation at home and is satisfied to have noodles.

Huang Erlang also said: "Niang, I want to eat dumplings." Noodles and dumplings. Huang Erlang prefers dumplings.

"I'll make noodles and dumplings for you when it's new year," said Huang Douer After a pause, Huang Douer said to Huang Dalang, "when I'm full, I'll go and get some firewood with my father." There is not enough firewood at home.

Children from poor families are in charge of the family early. Seven year old children can do a lot of things. Huang Dalang nodded and said, "good."

At dinner, Huang Dalang and Huang Erlang each have a bowl of porridge, which is a kind of porridge that can't be poured with chopsticks. The two brothers took a bite of potato and then a mouthful of white porridge. They were so satisfied: "delicious." Although there is only a little salt in the porridge, it is good for them.

Aunt Huang said, "remember, it's all thanks to the princess." The people are very grateful. The drought has made the people worship Yuxi as a God.

After eating half a bowl of porridge, Huang Dalang pushed the rest to Huang Douer and said, "Dad, I'm full. You can eat these!"

Huang Erlang took a look at his brother, and then looked at the porridge in his bowl. He couldn't help taking another big bite. Then he pushed it to Aunt Huang and said, "mother, I'm full, too. You can eat the rest!"

Huang Douer and Huang Auntie are very pleased to see their son so filial: "when you are growing up, you need to eat something good." Unfortunately, their husband and wife failed to provide better conditions for their children.

Huang Dalang raised his voice and said, "father, mother, when my brother and I grow up, we will let you eat noodles and dumplings every day."

Huang Erlang added: "it has to be dumplings with oil noodles and pork mixed with scallions."

When Huang Dou'er and Huang Auntie heard this, they couldn't close their mouths. It's cold outside, but it's warm inside like spring.

This scene, Yuxi naturally did not know. If she knew, she would be very happy.

Xu Wu told Yuxi the news from Yucheng: "princess, my adoptive father and the grand princess left Yucheng three days ago, and they were able to return to pick City five years ago."

Hearing this, Yuxi raised his head and asked, "why didn't Cui Mo say it in the fold?"

Xu Wu said: "if you say it in the fold, it may reveal the whereabouts of your adoptive father and the princess." In the whole northwest, there are not only the detailed works of the northern captives, but also Yan Wushuang's followers who are sent by them. It would be very dangerous for these people to find out the whereabouts of the princess.

Jade Xi nods, light ground says: "originally is such."

Remembering that Yuxi was angry because of zaozaozao's assassination last time, Xu Wu weighed it in his heart and said, "princess, I know that the adoptive father sometimes considered taking advantage of the princess to lead the northern captivity to make a detailed work, but the adoptive father also wanted to..."

Yuxi didn't wait for him to finish, he took the words: "I know, he let jujube as bait, on the one hand, he can catch all the fine works hidden in Yucheng, on the other hand, he can also take the opportunity to exercise jujube."

Xu Wu a stay, said: "the original Princess all know ah!"

Yuxi said: "at that time, I was just a little angry. After I thought about it, I would know uncle Huo's painstakingness." Yuxi looked sincere when he said this.

Seeing this, Xu Wu breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the princess would have an opinion on his adoptive father. They were stiff: "the princess knows the good intentions of her adoptive father, so I can rest assured."

Yuxi said with a smile, "of course I know. Go and do something!" With that, Yuxi bowed his head and continued to read the memorial.

After Xu Wu turns to walk out of the house, Yuxi looks up at the shaking pearl curtain at the door with no expression. It's not that I don't mind, but even if I do, I can't show it. Huo Changqing not only cultivates Yunqing, but also protects him. Moreover, Xu Wu and Feng Dajun are the arms of Yun Qing, so she can't quarrel with Huo Changqing, at least not now.

Feather clothes and other winter supplies were first sent to Du Zheng. Ah Kun, who is in charge of receiving materials, has never seen the feather coat. He feels light in his hand, so he doesn't feel right. As a result, I tore open the hole and saw that it was filled with feathers. Ah Kun's face changed greatly when the person who was about to deliver the goods was tied up and sent to Du Zheng.

Du Zheng looked at the two people tied up in front of him and asked, "what's the matter?"

Looking forward to the head of the quartermaster, ah Kun said, "general, this guy is so black hearted that he gives us all the clothes stuffed with duck feathers and goose feathers." For them, it's only warm with fresh cotton. The stuffed duck feather and goose feather are all fake, just like the black heart cotton.

The official who sent things was Cao. He was a member of five grades. Hearing this, Cao Shenling said: "general Du, I just explained to them that this is the feather coat that the princess ordered people to make. It's stuffed with duck feather and goose feather. More than 90000 sets of such clothes have been made. The Lord has sent 40000 sets of such clothes, and 40000 sets of such clothes have also been sent here. "

On that day, the action of collecting duck feather and goose feather was as big as that of collecting goose feather, and part of it was from his level. How could Du Zheng not know. Du Zheng asked, "you said you sent 40000 sets of such clothes to Shanxi?" Seeing that Cao Shenling nodded, Du Zheng asked, "what's so strange about this dress?"

Cao Shenling said: "this dress is not only lighter than cotton padded clothes and trousers, but also warmer than cotton padded clothes and trousers. Mr. Yuan wore such clothes when the weather became cold, which is what he said

Du Zheng said to the general who just called mumbling, "go and get one." Try to know if it's true or not.

The clothes are here. Du Zheng tries them on himself. A quarter of an hour later, Du Zheng said happily, "Lao yuan is not cheating. It's really warm and light." Wearing cotton padded jacket and trousers makes the whole person bloated. It's nice, warm and close to the body.

At the beginning, Du Zheng knew that Yu Xi wanted those duck feathers and goose feathers, and he muttered to his subordinates about the princess's preferences, which was really strange. As a result, they didn't expect to benefit from the princess's eccentric preferences.

After touching his feather coat, Du Zheng said in a low voice, "things are good, but they are too few." There are 100000 people under him, and there are 50000 people out of 50000 new ones! Ten thousand is not a good mark.

When Cao Shenling heard this, he began to cry. A total of 98969 sets of feather coats were sent to Yunqing, Du Zheng and Guan Tai, with 98000 sets. The rest, Yuan Ying according to the level of distribution to the barracks. The rank of Cao Shenling is not enough.

Du Zheng looked at Cao Shenling's appearance and asked, "Lao yuan is not stingy. He didn't give each of you a suit, did he?"

Cao Shenling shook his head and said, "with more people and less clothes, Mr. Yuan is also in a dilemma." Don't say that Cao Shenling is not dissatisfied with Yuan Ying. Even if he is, he doesn't dare to say it in front of Du Zheng. Otherwise, you don't want to be in the Quartermaster's office.

Du Zheng laughed and said, "if Lao yuan doesn't give it to you, I'll give you a set." It's not worth money, but it's not worth money.

Cao Shenling didn't refuse either. He said with both hands: "thank you, general." Mainly because of the drought this year, the poultry basically died, if in previous years to buy a few catties of duck feather goose feather home to do.

After Cao Shen led him out, ah Kun said bitterly, "general, I tore three clothes." Looking at Cao Shenling's appearance, it was a good thing, but he abused three good things for nothing.

Du Zheng scolded: "people have said that you have tied people with duck feather and goose feather in your clothes. Do you think you have a brain?"

Ah Kun didn't dare to reply, saying: "it's my subordinate's fault. But I haven't seen it before. I thought it was the same as reed and black cotton wadding! " In the past, the imperial court used to put reeds and black cotton wadding into the coat for some black things. This kind of padded jacket is not warm at all, leading to the death of many brothers.

Du Zheng felt sad when he heard this. It was very normal for them to have a shadow in their heart when they had a hard time. Just now, he had doubts in his heart, but Du Zheng was more calm than them: "if you have doubts, you can tell me in private, and I will solve it. No matter what, it's not your turn to tie up Cao Shenling. "

Ah Kun didn't dare to explain. He bowed his head and said, "I know I'm wrong. I won't do it next time."

Du Zheng nodded and said, "go down!"

When Du Zheng was alone in the room, he touched the sweater and said in a low voice, "if only he had known that the clothes made of duck feather and goose feather could keep out the cold!" A complete set of feather coat costs less than a cotton padded jacket. If we had found this thing earlier, we would not have killed so many brothers in vain.

The tragic death of so many people in Yucheng is the eternal pain in everyone's heart. This kind of pain, did not pass through the person is forever unable to understand.
