The biting cold wind was blowing, and from time to time it struck passers-by. The street was silvery white, and the breath of passersby turned into a puff of white smoke.
The biting cold wind blew on her face as uncomfortable as a knife cut. Sister Shang shivered a few times, wrapped her clothes, and then accelerated her pace.
Aunt Jia heard the knock on the door and heard: "Who is it?" When the men go out to fight, only their mother and son are the only ones. Auntie Jia only opened the door when she heard the voice of Sister Shang.
Sister Shang saw Auntie Jia, tears came: "Brothers and sisters..." I couldn't say the rest.
Aunt Jia was shocked, she reached out to Lashang Sister-in-law, but found that her hands were cold and cold: "Hurry into the house and have a warm meeting."
After entering the house, Sister Shang explained her intentions, crying as she said, "Xiaoqin has a terrible fever, but the family has run out of money." There is only one child left for four children. Her life.
Aunt Jia knew that this was coming to borrow money, so she hurriedly took three taels of silver from the box and said, "Sister-in-law, first take this money to see Xiaoqin. If we don't have enough, let's find a solution." Aunt Jia has money in her hand, So I bought firewood for half of the yard. She burned the kang as soon as it felt cold, so the second baby did not get sick.
Sister Shang was moved and guilty, and said, "My younger brother and sister, thank you, thank you." She has looked for several borrowers, but none of them have borrowed money.
When Sister Shang went out, Aunt Jia took another half-old jacket and handed it to her, and said, "Sister-in-law, now Xiaoqin is sick, you can't fall down anymore! Otherwise, Xiaoqin is leaning Who is it?" Aunt Jia is the one who takes care of the child. She is afraid that the child will be sick, so it is difficult for her to visit Xiaoqin.
Sister Shang didn't refuse, she put her jacket on her body and went out.
Pushing the door upside down, Aunt Jia said to herself: "I don't know what happened to the owner?" Li Erpao, Hu Da and others followed Yun Qing to fight. Before the troops were dispatched, there were salaries in the army, two to two per person. If it weren't for this accident, the two taels of silver would be enough for Sister Shang and Xiaoqin to have a stable year.
The next morning, Aunt Jia got news from the sister-in-law Hu next door, saying that Xiaoqin had not survived and went.
Aunt Jia said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, they are going to fight now, and we have to help each other." Xiaoqin is gone, and Sister Shang is probably gone for half her life.
Although Sister Hu's mouth is broken, she is not the kind of cold-blooded and ruthless person. Seeing Mrs. Shang's behavior, she also feels afflicted: "Then you tell me, how can we help with this?" It's okay to contribute, but it's definitely not possible to contribute money or something. She still has two children to raise, which can't stand the toss.
Although Mrs. Hu had a lot of minor problems and liked to take advantage of her, she took her heart out of her two children and raised them pretty well. When fleeing, I would rather not eat myself before letting the children eat. The two children have good foundations, and they also suffered a little bit of cold this time the weather suddenly changed, but they just drank two bowls of ginger sugar water.
Aunt Jia said: "First go to the coffin shop and buy two wooden boards to bury the Xiaoqin. I'll talk about the others later!" The deceased child cannot use the coffin. It is good to make a wooden box with a wooden board. Many of them were directly rolled up with straw mats and buried outside.
After Xiaoqin was buried, Aunt Jia brought Dasao Shang to her home to save her from being even more sad when she stayed in the original house. Aunt Jia held Sister Shang’s hand and said softly: "Sister-in-law, I want to open up a little bit. We have all come over so many hurdles, and we will definitely be able to pass this time." Xiaoqin also lost her body when she fled before. After Northwest settled down, he didn't make up for it, and his body was too weak. The weather changes suddenly, and the body can't stand it naturally.
Sister Shang cried loudly when she heard this, "All I have is Aqin, and he wants to take Aqin away. God, why are you so cruel? Why don't you give me a way to survive?" Still thinking of her husband, Sister Shang really wanted to go with her daughter.
Like Sister Shang, there are fewer children in the northwest, but they are everywhere in Shanxi and Henan.
Since it snowed, the local folds flew to Yuxi's desk like snowflakes. These notes are basically about the disaster and complaints. There are too many people who are sick, not to mention that children can't bear it, but many adults can't bear it and fall ill, so medicinal materials are extremely scarce.
Yuxi put down the paper and smiled bitterly. Before the drought, Yuxi had stored a lot of medicinal materials, but most of these medicinal materials were distributed to various military camps, and some were left in the warehouse for emergencies. . No matter how good Yuxi was, he couldn't set aside this part of medicinal materials. But seeing these people not dying from the famine, but dying from the disease, Yuxi felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Meilan brought a food box over and said, "Wang Hao, Grandma will make soup for you." Grandma now makes supper for Yuxi every night. Because Yuxi is very thin now, she can eat anything. . After eating for a while, Yuxi looked much better than before.
In fact, Yuxi didn't have an appetite at this meeting, but she didn't refuse the grandmother's kindness either. Sitting on the carpet playing with Qi Hao smelled the scent and yelled happily: "Mother, Xiang Xiang, want to eat." Qi Hao was taken to the study, and when he was hungry, he would scream. Other times, he didn't listen to Yuxi and people carefully. Discussing is to play his mini games very intently, very well-behaved.
Soybeans are boiled to rotten, so there is no problem in swallowing them without chewing. So Yuxi didn't hesitate to scoop a spoonful and feed it to Qihao.
Qi Hao prefers to eat meat, but he eats all fruits and vegetables, which is better than jujube and Liuer. After eating a bite, he exclaimed excitedly: "Mother, more."
Meilan said, "Wang Hao, I'll feed my son, you can eat it first! Otherwise, it will be cold after a while." The licorice who takes care of Qihao on weekdays is licorice, but today he accidentally fell over while walking with licorice. Feet.
Yuxi asked as he ate, "What did Brother Rui eat at night? How good is my appetite?" I went back to see my three sons at noon. The afternoon was gone when I had no time.
Meilan said hurriedly: "The three young masters each ate half a bowl of minced meat for dinner!" The triplets started eating complementary food last month for more than seven months.
Being able to eat a small bowl of minced meat proves that there is no major hindrance. But Yuxi thought about the children of the common people not to mention minced meat, for fear that they would not even eat rice soup, and felt a little heavy in her heart.
On the second day, Yuxi said to Tan Tuo who had come to report: "How about the government providing two catties of white rice to the children of the common people?" Seeing Tan Tuo bewildered, Yuxi said: "The child is sick. Now, it’s good to have some rice porridge."
Tan Tuo thought for a while and said: "The princess is kind, but let's give an age limit! I think it's better to set it under six years old." There are not many children under six in the northwest, so remove the children from wealthy families. , The white rice to be discarded does not exceed one million catties. This number is still within their capacity.
Yuxi thought for a while and said, "Let's be under ten!" It was also the beginning of Yun Qing and Yuxi taking charge of the Northwest, and the number of children increased. In the past, most of the adults and young men were arrested and went to war. There were not many newborns. Coupled with the harsh environment, the child's death rate was also high. So even if you are under ten, the entire Northwest will add up to hundreds of thousands, not more than one million.
Tan Tuo said: "The princess is kind and kind." Although this is a bit casual, who makes the princess have this capital.
Yuxi shook her head and said, "I just want to do something for those children, but unfortunately, I can do very little for them." She has made many preparations, but she still can't match the cruelty of God.
Tan Tuo said: "The princess does not have to blame yourself, you have done good enough for the people." Such a big drought only killed tens of thousands, which was unimaginable before, but Yuxi did it.
Yuxi waved her hand and said, "Don't talk about this, I just hope God won't toss it anymore." She can't stand it any longer, let alone flat-headed people.
Two days later, Feng Dajun sent Zhezi over, saying that the Bei abductees had retreated. Although the heavy snow only lasted for one day, the weather changed suddenly. The Beibao people didn't have cold clothes or enough food, and their bodies couldn't stand it no matter how strong they were. Within two days, many soldiers in the northern captivity fell ill.
Battelle didn't want to retreat, but the situation forced him to retreat, unless he wanted hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to die in the West Sea.
Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Just retreat." The Beijiao retreats, so I don't have to worry about the rear. As long as Yun Qing strikes down Shanxi before May next year, he won't be afraid even if the North Captive commits another crime.
Xu Wu told Yuxi a piece of news he had just received: "Wang Hao, I have received the news. Although the weather in Shanxi is getting colder, there are very few soldiers who are sick." Yun Qing is not a pedantic person. Seeing that the weather was getting cold, the soldiers were asked to chop down trees and demolish the houses to keep them warm from the cold. On the other hand, they ordered the rear to deliver the cold-proof supplies as soon as possible. Because of the drought, many places in Shanxi have nine rooms and nine empty houses, so I don’t worry about demolishing them. Of course, the reason why there are not too many people sick is that these people have good physical fitness.
Yuxi took a sigh of relief and said, "It's also good news."
However, God seems to have deliberately prevented Yuxi from relaxing. That night, Yuxi got news that Zaozao was assassinated by the Northern Captive Assassin, but fortunately, there was no danger.
Xu Wu said: "These people were lying in wait near the Han mansion, and they started their hands after the princess saw the second wife Han coming out." After a pause, Xu Wu said again: "Wang Hao, this time the northern captives came out lightly. ."
Yuxi, a smart person, knew something was wrong as soon as he heard the following words. Yuxi said with a cold face, "Who made Zaozao as bait?" If Beiyu Xisuo didn't know the identity of Zaozao, it would be impossible to get rid of it.
Seeing Yuxi who was full of anger, Xu Wu couldn't help lowering his head and whispered, "It was the idea of the foster father."
Actually, Xu Wu didn't need to say, Yuxi also knew that Huo Changqing's idea was definitely the idea, because Cui Mo and Chu Shaoguang absolutely didn't have the guts. Yuxi sneered and said, "It's really a good idea."
Xu Wu bit his scalp and said: "Wang Hao, adoptive father arranged a lot of people around the princess, and these people are enough to ensure the safety of the princess."
Yuxi said, "If I arrange for several masters to be with Yun Jie'er, these people will be enough to protect her, and then I will let her be the bait, will you agree?" Yun Jie'er is Xu Wu's daughter.
Seeing Xu Wu didn't say a word, Yuxi said blankly: "Do not do to others what you don't want." R8
