It snowed heavily all night, and when you stepped in, you could reach your knees.

The children like snow, jumping and jumping excitedly on the bed, Qiao Wei couldn't hold it down.

"Can I wear a new padded jacket, mother?" Qiao Wangshu asked with blinking eyes.

Qiao Wei touched her head: "Yes."

Jing Yun’s is a set of sky blue cotton-padded jacket and trousers, and Wang Shu’s is light green. The town’s cloth dyeing technology is limited, and the coloring is not very correct, but it can’t hold back the two children’s good looks, who are as beautiful as little fairy children. .

For breakfast, she made her new yam cake with jujube paste and braised mutton noodles with carrots.

Compared with always starving and freezing in the past, life is so much better now!

After dinner, Qiao Wei sent the two children to school, and she also went to the town to sell snacks.

The snow was too deep, and Qiao Wei was afraid that the children would be lost if they stepped in, so she found two pieces of cotton cloth and wrapped them up, one on her back, one in her arms, and two big baskets full of snacks in her hands , Hang Chi Hang Chi went down the mountain.

Jing Yun and Wang Shu are thinner than their peers, but they weigh 40 pounds together. Qiao Wei's body weighs less than 90 pounds. It is actually very difficult to carry two children, let alone carry two baskets of snacks in her hand. , When I walked to the old scholar's house, I was almost paralyzed.

The old scholar hurriedly helped her untie the burden, carried the children down, and said distressedly: "You won't go down the mountain first, tell me, I will pick them up!"

"Then why are you so embarrassed?" Qiao Wei gasped for a while, finally recovered, and said to the old scholar, "Wang Shu cried all day yesterday, which affected your class. I'm really sorry."

The old scholar stared and said: "It's nothing! This doll is very good! It's still young, doesn't that little doll cry?"

Seeing that the old scholar had no grievances, Qiao Wei felt relieved, turned her head to her daughter and said, "Mother will come back after delivering the snacks to the town. Listen carefully to Mr. Brother, and be obedient, you know?"

Qiao Wangshu nodded, it was obvious that he still wanted to cry, but he held back.

Qiao Jingyun took her little hand: "Don't be afraid, brother will accompany you."

Qiao Wangshu: "Yes."

Qiao Jingyun said to his mother: "Go mother, it will snow again later."

Qiao Wei smiled gratifiedly: "Then mother will give my sister to you. You are the little man in the family, so you must take good care of your sister."

Jing Yun nodded solemnly.

Qiao Wei went there reluctantly. She had been working in her previous life for so many years, but she had never felt such an inseparable feeling. There was a little pain, but more happiness.

As expected by Jing Yun's words, there was snow again on the way, and Shuanzi's father's carriage was open, which froze her to death. When she arrived at Rongji, she hurriedly ordered two large cups of hot tea and gave Shuanzi's father a cup.

Boss Rong gave her yesterday's payment with a smile, and she counted: "Seventy cash more."

Boss Rong said: "There is a customer who ate happily and rewarded him with a small hanging."

The big hanging is one thousand Wen, the small hanging is one hundred Wen, and Rong Ji is thirty Wen, leaving seventy Wen. When the deal was first negotiated, Qiao Wei didn't consider that the ancients would also give tips. If Rong Ji embezzled the money, she would not know it.

Qiao Wei smiled slightly: "Boss Rong is an honest person."

Boss Rong patted his chest and said: "It is necessary! If you don't believe me, you have to believe your own vision!"

Qiao Wei chuckled, and gave the newly made dim sum to Boss Rong.

There were already many repeat customers sitting there, and the roll call wanted to remember Xiao Qiao's dim sum, and the boss hurriedly asked the staff to deliver the dim sum to the guests.

Qiao Wei packed her basket and was about to leave. When she just arrived at the door, she met the maid from Enbo's House who came to pick up the goods. This little girl is really in all weathers.

"Huh? Ma'am! I'm looking for you!" The servant girl greeted her with a smile. She was wearing a pink bijia, a lotus-colored jacket, and a white skirt. Her appearance could only be considered delicate, but she looked very comfortable.

"You looking for me?" Qiao Wei asked.

The maid nodded: "My name is Xingzhu."

Qiao Wei greeted: "Miss Xingzhu."

Xingzhu pulled Qiao Wei aside, and whispered: "It's such a lady, my lady likes your dim sum very much, I want to ask if you are interested in working in the capital?"

Qiao Wei looked at her with a half-smile: "Your lady doesn't mind if I beat her nurse?"

Xingzhu scratched her neck: "Hey, to be honest, my lady doesn't know that you did it, but she doesn't need to know, you don't need to meet her, and she doesn't come to the kitchen."

Qiao Wei understands that this girl has been hiding the truth from her lady, and she is really courageous: "You mean, your lady wants to invite me to work as a cook in Enbo Mansion?"

Xingzhu nodded, his eyes brightened: "The monthly money in Enbo Mansion is very high! You are the person chosen by the eldest lady. The eldest lady said that you can pay the monthly money as you like. Of course, you don't want to say how many tens of thousands of gold!" , it's scary."

At the end of the talk, Xingzhu smiled embarrassingly.

Qiao Wei said calmly: "Tell your lady, I'm not interested in serving those nobles. If you want to eat my dim sum, you can come to the town to buy it."

Xingzhu was in a hurry: "But... ma'am, how much money do you earn selling dim sum? Don't you have two children to support? You can't earn ten taels a month, right? But Miss can give you such a high monthly salary. money."

Twelve months a month is really a sky-high salary, but so what? Is she going to be a slave for this little money? If her child is mentioned in the future, will she also become a slave child

"What does your mother do?"

"My mother is a slave of the Ember Mansion."

Just thinking about this kind of picture makes her feel uncomfortable.

She looked at Xingzhu: "Miss Xingzhu, I know you are kind, but I am really not interested, I just want to do a small business by myself."

Xingzhu stomped anxiously: "Enbo's mansion is really good! You don't know, my lady has an engagement with the prime minister. In the future, Enbo's mansion will be the in-laws of the prime minister's mansion, so many people want to go in and do things. You think about it! And... and if you do well, when my young lady gets married and allows you to be a companion, you can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Qiao Wei said: "When I went to the prime minister's mansion, I was still a cook? I'm not the wife of the prime minister, so what's there to think about."

"You are a village woman, why are you so loud?" Xingzhu muttered.

Qiao Wei smiled faintly: "What's wrong with the village woman? Should the village woman rush to be a servant for others? Go back and tell your lady that I have no blessing to accept this kind of 'grace', she should leave it to others."
