Xiaowan opened the door and saw that the outside was covered with snow. The yard, walls, roofs, corridors, tree crowns, the whole world was covered by a vast white snow, and the air was cold and sweet.
"Butler~"
The maids who were clearing the snow outside saw Xiaowan going out and greeted her happily.
With a bright smile on her face, Xiaowan said a few words to the little maids, then picked up her skirt and ran briskly towards the young master's main room.
"Wow, why is the butler so happy today? It seems like there is some happy event."
"Yes, yes, when I greeted the housekeeper two days ago, I saw her still unconscious, and today she suddenly became very happy!"
"I really hope the housekeeper can be happy every day, she is so kind."
"Yes, yes."
The little maids gathered together one by one and talked about it.
"Ahem..."
Suddenly, a little maid facing the main room coughed lightly, and then began to concentrate on sweeping the snow. When the surrounding little maids saw it, they immediately understood and closed their mouths and pretended to sweep the snow.
Until Ren Pingsheng walked out of the door and stretched.
The little maids who were clearing the snow immediately stood in a row and saluted Ren Shengsheng Wanfu: "Master!"
Ren Pingsheng looked at these little maids: "It's snowing today, and the temperature has been cooling down in the past few days. Put some charcoal in each room to prevent it from freezing."
"Thank you, sir!"
The maids expressed their thanks one after another.
"Xiaowan, come with me for a walk in the garden."
Ren Pingsheng took two steps and then thought of Wang Shu. He pointed at a little maid and asked her to call Wang Shu to the garden.
Suddenly a spring breeze comes overnight, and thousands of pear trees bloom.
The crown of the tree is covered with fallen snow, and crystal clear icicles hang down, like thousands of thousand-year-old jade trees. Under the sunlight, they are magnificent and beautiful.
Xiaowan gently raised her hand, and the snow on the ground seemed to be blown by the wind. It swirled and condensed. After a while, it turned into a one-meter-tall snowman. It walked towards the small snowman.
The short legs are running on the snow, and they look so alive, as if they are really given life.
This reminds Ren of the little snowman named "Old Snow" who was given life by Elsa in Frozen.
I wonder if Xiaowan will have the ability like Elsa in the future, which can change the celestial phenomena on a large scale and cast spells that can change the world!
"Can you try giving the snowman consciousness?"
Ren Pingsheng and Xiaowan said.
Xiaowan shook her head: "I've tried it before, but it didn't work. But I think those blue light spots seem to have spirituality. Maybe one day I can do it."
After all, it has only been eight or nine years since the Heaven Change. There are too few strange people in this world, and there are too few paths to take. The paths of supernatural powers are not as traceable as martial arts. Many things
All need to be experienced, tried, and summarized by oneself.
"Some time ago, I asked Ren Nuan to collect some Taoist canons among the people. When I have nothing to do, I will take a look at them. According to Si Nian, just like the visualization chart, for the practice of supernatural powers, you can often find a line in the Taoist canons.
inspiration."
Ren Pingsheng instructed.
"master."
At this time, Wangshu turned around from the moon gate. She was wearing a pink double-breasted coat, with the furry collar raised up, covering her neck, but her face was still red from the cold, and her lips were a little chapped.
Even his eyes were red and looked listless.
"Forget the book, are you feeling unwell?"
Xiaowan looked at her and asked with concern.
"Fortunately, the wind blew the window open last night and I caught a little cold. But it's nothing serious."
As Wang Shu spoke, two lines of clear mucus flowed out of her nose. This made her feel embarrassed and she quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe away the mucus.
She put away the handkerchief and said, "But, sir, housekeeper, I woke up from the cold last night and couldn't sleep, so I figured out an offensive spell."
"Demonstrate."
Ren Pingsheng said with great interest.
"Um."
Wangshu nodded and closed his eyes.
A breeze emerged from her body and blew in all directions.
Ren Pingsheng watched the breeze blowing up a thin layer of snow.
Forgetting to read, she felt the feedback given to her by the breeze, and the shapes of the surrounding objects were fed back to her mind. People, trees, snow, birds, and buildings all appeared in her mind.
Then, she gently held it with both hands, and a blue light lit up. In the gestation of the light, a vivid blue bird gradually formed. As she raised her hands upward, the bird emitted
With a "chirp" sound, it spread its wings and flew.
As the bird flew above the pond, it exploded with a "bang" and instantly turned into a dozen invisible sharp blades.
Suddenly there was a "clicking" sound on the ice, and branches of the cherry blossom trees on the shore fell off their trunks.
Several people walked to the edge of the pond and saw a large hole cut out of the ice, with water gurgling out of it. The cut of the cherry blossom tree was as smooth as a mirror.
"It's quite powerful."
Ren Pingsheng commented.
It is also a group attack skill that is difficult to defend against.
"Ah sneeze~"
Wangshu suddenly sneezed, and two lumps of clear mucus came out again. This made her neck, which she had just raised with pride, quickly lowered with her chest hunched over, and she took out her handkerchief to wipe her nose in embarrassment.
"If you don't feel well, go back and rest first, and drink more hot water."
Ren Pingsheng saw her listless look and asked her to go back and rest first.
"Thank you, sir."
Wangshu said thanks.
"Wait a moment."
Xiaowan walked up to Wangshu, stretched out her hand and touched her forehead: "It's a little warm."
Green gel condensed in her hand and was placed on her forehead where she had forgotten to write.
Wangshu stretched out his finger and poked it lightly. It was cold and very comfortable.
Xiaowan smiled and said: "This will make you feel more comfortable, go ahead."
"Thank you butler."
After forgetting to express my thanks, I left the garden.
"Xiaowan, how much food do we still have in the granary?"
In recent times, Ren Pingsheng has been asking about food more and more often.
In fact, there are more than 5,000 regular soldiers, more than 5,000 militiamen who have not been disbanded to guard the prisoners, and nearly 80,000 prisoners. The daily consumption of food is 200,000 kilograms!
The consumption rate is much faster than the food shipped from Zheng Yiguan.
This was also the reason why Ren Pingsheng was anxious to ask for food and grass from Eunuch Li.
"The granary is already one-third empty. Moreover, it is said that this batch of grain shipped back from overseas encountered pirates at sea on the way back and sank two large ships. Only three armed merchant ships came back. The grain was once Just halfway there.
Now, Master Zheng has sent someone to deliver a message. He wants to buy our artillery. Any amount of money will do."
Xiaowan said.
"artillery······"
Ren Pingsheng pondered for a moment and said: "When the Production Bureau produces it, sell him ten of them and give him some cannonballs as well."
Nowadays, it can be said to be an investment or a refuge.
Every two months, Mr. Zheng would send a grain team from Dongyang to continuously transport grain to Qingshui County.
Nearly half of the food in the Qingshui County granary comes from the help of Master Zheng.
"good."
After Xiaowan wrote it down, she thought of something and then said: "Master, the Zheng family in Guyi County has made some small moves recently. It seems that they are transporting food, swords and other supplies outside the customs again."
"The Zheng family?"
Ren Pingsheng clapped his hands and said with a smile: "When winter comes, the life in the bitter cold land in the north will definitely be more difficult. In the autumn and winter of previous years, the foreign tribes frequently knocked on the pass and plundered the north of Jingchao, often destroying Ning'an and Ningyuan. Grab the land for free.
At this time, the Zheng family is taking action, and it should be to trade with the foreign tribes in the north.
It’s almost the Chinese New Year, and it seems that this pig has been fattened up, so it will be a good time to kill it and have a pig-killing meal during the Chinese New Year!”
