The snowflakes dance silently and lightly, and when they are about to fall to the ground, they may be blown by some slight airflow from nowhere, and then float to the green bricks of the dark blue corridor. Before the snowflakes accumulate enough, they will be able to wear them.
The thick little maid gently swept it away with a broom, leaving a little trace of dark ice water.
"It's snowing so heavily, please don't go out, I'll take someone for a walk and report back to you." Grandma Sun persuaded her sweetly.
Li Yuhua took the snow hat and put it on, "Mommy, remember to bring a hot pot for His Highness at noon. I'll be back as soon as I go."
How could Grandma Sun persuade Li Yuhua? Li Yuhua, with neat legs and legs, took the cloak handed by Yun Yan, tied a knot around his neck casually, and held the umbrella by himself without the maid holding the umbrella. The anxious Grandma Sun went out.
Grandma snatched the umbrella from the little maid's hand and followed her to the yard to help Li Yuhua get into the warm sedan. She warned her, "Don't stay out for too long, take a look and come back. I'll prepare a hot pot in the house."
"I got it, mama, come back, you're not wearing any thick clothes." Li Yuhua waved his hand towards Grandma Sun, and roughly asked her mother-in-law to lift the warm sedan, followed by Yunyan Sushuang, and Li Yuhua went out to the Salesian Bureau.
.
Since the last case of the Mercy Society, Li Yuhua has to visit several places in the Salesian Bureau every month. Moreover, according to Li Yuhua's mind, the time is certainly not fixed, and she will always be caught off guard. Fortunately, after
Li Yuhua also went diligently during the last rectification, and now the newly recruited women are willing to work hard. With such heavy snow, Li Yuhua wanted to see how the charcoal fire was enough to keep her warm.
Li Yuhua held the hand stove and looked out from the glazed window of the carriage. The snow was so heavy that the sparse pedestrians on the street were all walking in the wind and snow, leaving a series of creaking footprints. The shops on both sides of the street were hung with thick blankets.
Cotton door curtains, heavy snow covering the roof like mushrooms, and bursts of green smoke coming out of the chimney from time to time.
Li Yuhua comes to the Salesian Office every month. The old lady who manages the place was very nervous at first, but now she is doing better. They are cooking in the kitchen. In addition to the old lady here, there are also a few older children who are helping.
A lively scene.
There were also naughty children who poked their heads outside and ran out to grab a handful of snow, but were immediately picked up by the ears and carried back by the women, who then yelled at them.
Suddenly seeing Li Yuhua arrive, everyone was startled again. Li Yuhua waved his hand, "No need to be polite, just keep working. I'll just take a look."
On the chopping board, there were several large pots of cabbage and radish cut into large pieces and a small pot of bacon. The hot steam was pouring out of the pot. Li Yuhua knew it must be brown rice as soon as she smelled it. She had eaten it for a while when she was a child.
Brown rice. At that time, I was looking forward to when I could make rice, cabbage and stew meat every day. Now when I smell the smell of brown rice, I feel a little greedy.
Li Yuhua briefly swept the food in the kitchen, and then went to the room where the children lived to feel that the bedding was still thick and the room was still warm. The children lived in a large kang that connected from north to south, and the Salesian Bureau did not have a good charcoal fire.
Using ordinary black charcoal, the room was a little choked, but it was okay. I opened the mattress and felt that the kang was warm.
There were a few older girls who were doing needlework on the kang. When they saw Li Yuhua coming, they jumped off the kang to greet them. Li Yuhua asked them to get up. Seeing that they were not doing the same needlework, two of them were mending clothes. When asked,
Some children in the Salesian Bureau had torn clothes and they didn't know how to mend them, so the older children helped mend them. There were also some who made fresh needlework and brought back work from sewing shops outside, and half of the money they earned was given to them.
Salesian Bureau, half of it belongs to themselves.
Li Yuhua looked at their needlework and saw that it was quite neat.
Li Yuhua said, "Once you practice needlework, you will also be able to eat in the future."
Shao An steadily brought a cup of hot tea and said softly, "Mother, please warm your hands."
This girl is still slender and thin. When the Salesian Bureau incident happened, Shao An helped provide a lot of evidence. She has an ordinary and inconspicuous appearance, but she is well aware of it. Now the Salesian Bureau is recruiting some needlework workers outside.
It was Shao An who came forward, and several girls who were older than her all admired her.
Li Yuhua took the tea and asked, "Do you have any difficulties now? If you have anything to say, just tell me."
The other girls were too timid to speak. Shao An thought for a while and said, "It's nothing else. There is one thing. We only know a few thick needles and threads, and we have never learned any fine work.
We originally wanted to save some money and give some apprenticeship gifts to the embroidery lady in the embroidery shop, and see if we could ask Axiao to learn some skills and teach them to everyone. Among us, she is the most skillful. The lady asked, I
So I boldly said that we want to hire a good embroidery master."
"This is easy. I will make arrangements for you when I get back and send someone over to teach you."
Shao An immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, empress."
As soon as she knelt down, a group of people behind her also knelt down. Li Yuhua was really not used to this and quickly asked everyone to get up and talk.
Li Yuhua had lunch at the Salesian Bureau. She ate two bowls of brown rice, radish, cabbage and bacon stew. After lunch, she went to the Juzicang Huimin Pharmacy of the Infant Bureau and walked around. It was already noon when she returned home.
.
Aunt Sun had already prepared ginger soup and hot water for Li Yuhua to come back. When Mu Anzhi returned home in the evening, Aunt Sun also sued Li Yuhua, saying that he did not care about his body when he went out in the ice and snow.
Mu Anzhi was also startled and held Li Yuhua's hand, "You went out in such a cold weather?"
"Go to the Salesian Bureau and have a look. It's snowing heavily. I wonder if the house is secure and whether there is enough charcoal rice." Li Yuhua glanced at the hand held by Mu Anzhi. Mu Anzhi was so anxious that he didn't pay attention. At this time, Fang Fang
Feeling that it was abrupt, he quickly withdrew and said, "Just send someone over, why do you have to go there in person? How about freezing?"
"I just wanted to take a look. Even if I didn't take a look, the people below were very attentive. I sent people over, but it was a bit worse. Besides, there is a warm basin in the car, and it's not cold. Auntie is confused when she cares.
"Li Yuhua said, "This snow is quite heavy. It has not stopped yet, and it is already one foot thick. When I went out to visit the Imperial Palace, Guoqing Temple was giving out porridge, and there were also several temples and nunneries outside the city that were giving out porridge.
Brother, although our financial resources are limited, I would like to send the steward to buy some old brown rice and send it to Jingxin Nunnery. I heard from Mrs. Yong'an Hou that she sends people to send rice and noodles every year and asks Jingxin Nunnery to do the charity on her behalf."
"Jingxin nunnery is a large nunnery, and its reputation has always been good, so that's okay." Mu Anzhi also agreed, but he still said, "Discuss it with the second sister-in-law. Our two houses can be the same, but don't make them different.
"
"I know, it is written in "The Biography of Empress Mingsheng" that before Emperor Renzong ascended the throne, several princes' palaces secretly competed over the matter of giving out porridge, and there were even accidents. From then on, no prince's palace came forward to give out porridge.
It's all handled by the clan mansion or the imperial capital mansion, which saves the princes from competing, right?" Li Yuhua was amused when he thought about this, "You royal family are all aloof, and if you don't want to quarrel, it's no different from us ordinary people.
the difference."
"What do you call us royal? Are you not the princess?"
Li Yuhua said in her heart, "Don't you always treat me as my sister?" Li Yuhua looked at Mu Anzhi's hand that had just retracted and raised an eyebrow. His eyes scraped back and forth on the delicate and thin hand bones twice before he said meaningfully, "Your prince is
I was born into a royal family, but I married halfway, so of course it’s different.”
Mu Anzhi scratched the tip of his nose uncomfortably, "I'm hungry, let's go eat."
A hot pot is a must for winter dinner. Today's mutton was particularly tender. Mu An could tell it as soon as he tasted it, "This is sheep from the north."
"Your tongue is really amazing. You can taste everything. When I eat it, I feel it's quite tender." As for which sheep it is, who can taste it! Li Yuhua was really impressed by Mu Anzhi.
Mu Anzhi picked up the hot mutton slices with chopsticks and said, "You can taste it if you eat more."
Li Yuhua put a handful of small green vegetables into the hot pot. When the green vegetables were piled up in spring and summer, they didn't feel that the green vegetables were delicious. When everything withered in winter, when they saw this handful of green vegetables, they immediately felt indescribably cute.
After dinner, the two soaked their feet and then sat on the couch in front of the window in their loose cotton robes to read. They had finished reading a book called "Official System". Li Yuhua was now reading the history book that Mu Anzhi had given her. It was not difficult to read, and she
There is no need for Mu Anzhi to explain it in detail. If Li Yuhua doesn't understand, just ask Mu Anzhi.
Mu Anzhi was reading a new work by a popular literary figure. The candles were flickering and the two of them were very quiet while reading.
It was late at night, and all the maids fell asleep. Since opening the house, Li Yuhua was not used to having maids sleeping in the room, and Mu Anzhi had never used maids to serve him at night. Xiao Yi had always gone back to his room at night since Mu Anzhi's wedding.
Mu Anzhi stretched himself and said to Li Yuhua, "It's getting late, let's take a rest."
The faint sound of snow falling down from branches could be heard outside the window.
The light from the snow made the window shine brightly. Li Yuhua was lying in front of the window, but he couldn't actually see anything. There was already a layer of frost outside the glass window.
There was Mrs. Tang who had been put in by the maid in advance, and the whole quilt was extremely warm. Li Yuhua looked sideways at Mu Anzhi, "When I was a child, every winter night, my mother would bury two pieces of sweet potatoes in the kang hole. Sometimes she would bury them early.
I smelled the fragrance of sweet potatoes all over the house before I went to bed, so I ate roasted sweet potatoes before going to bed. Third brother, have you ever eaten roasted sweet potatoes?"
"How come I haven't eaten it before? A young novice would give me roasted sweet potatoes to eat. Later, when I came to the palace, I ate less."
"Let's bake a few pieces tomorrow and make them as a supper tonight."
"Are you hungry?"
"A little bit. It's okay. I'm not very hungry."
"If I didn't tell you earlier, it would be very uncomfortable to go to bed hungry." Mu Anzhi got up, put on his coat, called up the maid who was sleeping in the cubicle, and asked the small kitchen to bring a midnight snack. It took too long to roast the sweet potatoes, and the kitchen cooked them very quickly.
Two bowls of silver chicken noodle soup were delivered.
Mu Anzhi just picked two chopsticks and stopped eating. Li Yuhua finished her bowl. Seeing that Mu Anzhi had half the bowl left, she felt that she couldn't waste it. She also finished Mu Anzhi's leftovers. Mu Anzhi asked directly, "Eat
Are you full?"
Li Yuhua patted his belly and said loudly, "I'm full!"
Mu Anzhi smiled, "From now on, you can talk when you are hungry. You are not a shy person."
"I'm afraid I'll gain weight if I eat too much at night. I feel like I've gained a lot of weight."
"Wherever I am fat, I'm still the same as before."
"But even the clothes I wore before felt too tight."
"It will be much tighter than normal. You will be seventeen during the Chinese New Year, can you still wear sixteen-year-old clothes?"
Li Yuhua felt that Mu Anzhi's words were reasonable, and she was very touched and said, "The only person who gets me food after midnight is my third brother. Third brother, I will treat you well all my life."
Mu Anzhi was immune to Li Yuhua's nasty words from time to time. However, his heart was still warm. Listening to Li Yuhua's even breathing soon, and through the hazy snow light, he had such a sweet talker beside him all day long.
Mu Anzhi also thinks that this little person is actually quite good.
As a result, just after he said that he would treat his third brother well all his life, Li Yuhua turned around and plunged his third brother into the trap of a major case in the Imperial Capital.
