Chapter 161: Freeze

He opened another mouthful of the box. It contained cotton-padded clothes. He took out one of them. Almost none of the needles could be seen. This was made for him by his eldest daughter, and only him. Her eldest daughter, with such exquisite embroidery branches, can make such good clothes.
There is also a box filled with dried jam and vegetables that can be kept for a long time. In addition, there was a letter. He took it out and opened it again. As soon as he saw the words on it, he knew that it was written by Shen Qingci.
This word should not be practiced well.
When he saw the handwriting of the little daughter, he had a headache. It was obviously taught by a Confucian scholar, but she was not making any progress.
He sat down and looked at it word by word again.
"Don’t worry, Daddy, A Ning will let Daddy eat and eat. This is the clothes my sister made for Daddy. And A Ning begged my sister to make a few more sets for Daddy. So my sister helped Daddy make clothes, A Ning. There are too."
Completely childish, but every time, it made Shen Dingshan's heart tighten and his throat hurt.
These five clothes were made for him by the eldest daughter day and night. Even so, the younger daughter was afraid that he would not wear enough, so she begged the eldest daughter to make three more sets.
Even if he is in such a bitter and cold place, as long as they know that the children in the family are well, they are all concerned about his father, so no matter how hard he suffers, he will be willing.
At this time, the tent was opened from the outside, and Yan Long's master Yan Ming also walked in. When he saw three big boxes, he couldn't help but smiled, "The general is so blessed, with such smart children, they can save the three generals. For a dry life, immense merit, "
"You have passed the award, but the children are worried that the general is going hungry."
Shen Dingshan didn’t say much about these things, and of course he couldn’t say anything. Shen Qingci pays the military expenditure of two hundred and two to the three armed forces every year. Now that the army has sufficient food and grass, everyone has new cotton clothes. It can make people feel better, no, it can be said to be peace of mind.
"Take two sets of these for you," Shen Dingshan said, pointing to the cotton-padded jacket and boots placed in the nest.
"Then thank General," Yan Ming was also different from Shen Dingshan's politeness. He took a set of cotton-padded clothes and put on it. He was of the same stature as Shen Dingshan. Naturally, they were wearing the same clothes. As for the defense of the country this time. He is also wise not to ask where the cotton clothes and food come from, as long as he remembers the kindness of the three children of the Shen family.
And he was right to say that the food and cotton clothes saved the lives of the soldiers of the three armed forces, otherwise it would be unthinkable.
And at this moment in Beijing, this sudden heavy snow almost buried half of the capital.
Everyone did not expect that the snow fell early, but it would clear up very quickly if they wanted to come, but one day passed, and two days passed. The snow is always there, but it has never stopped.
On the first day, everyone could be calm, and even a little curious, admiring the snow in this early spring, but after a few more days, no one can laugh at it.
The cotton-padded clothes can still be dried, but there is no new charcoal available in every mansion except last year's sinking charcoal. After all, the new charcoal is not yet ready to burn, even those people risking it to burn. Even if the charcoal was robbed by people, how could it be enough for such a small amount of charcoal? There is not enough in one mansion, let alone the entire capital.
The weather suddenly became so cold that almost everyone was unexpected. Cotton-padded clothes and charcoal fires were all embarrassing people in the provinces, and the snow clearly showed signs of getting worse and worse. .
"The princess, the princess..."
A woman rushed in and saw Princess Jun hugging her grandson and coaxing her. No, she missed her grandchildren. The daughters came back to live with a few children, but it fell into the snow. .
Adults can't bear the cold, let alone children, wearing hard cotton-padded clothes, damp and thin, and they can't warm up at all. The new charcoal has not been sent back, and the sinking charcoal used last year is used. I couldn’t light it again, I lighted it, and the smoker’s eyes hurt again. Several children were crying uncomfortably. There was no way to make adults like them. They could only warm them in their arms and warm them up. Thick quilt, this is not crying.
However, Princess Jun felt that she was crying too, she was also cold, her hands and feet were numb, especially if she still stayed motionless here, she felt sorry for her grandson, she was holding it, and she was afraid It’s those women who are careless, and a few children are born on their own. They really haven’t suffered so much. It’s really not the right time for the snow this year. I still felt a little sultry a few days ago. It was snowing in a few days.
"Have you bought charcoal?" She asked the mother-in-law who came in. She said she was going to buy it a long time ago. There are new cottons. Now that no one can make winter clothes, it is better to make them yourself. This adult doesn't mention it, but she Several of his grandchildren are about to get sick soon.
"Wang Hao, it's not easy to buy."
The old lady has also been urged several times, but there are some things that can’t be urged back. The mountain is sealed by heavy snow, and if snow is added, the wood is also wet. There is no way to burn charcoal, even if it is burned out, but before going down the mountain, I am afraid that it will be robbed of it. As for cotton, where is there any cotton now?
Just a few cotton shops have already been emptied. Let’s not mention these first. The grain shops outside have all increased their prices. If it weren’t for King Jun’s mansion, there are still some food stocks. I don’t know if it really wants to be like this. Like ordinary people, they are going to be hungry soon, but there is no supply of new food, that is, the owners of old food are not used to eating.
"Such serious?" Princess Jun couldn't help but chuckle. It hasn't been such a heavy snow in Beijing for a long time. Of course, there is no winter where you can't buy charcoal, the gold wire and Silver wire charcoal is not something that ordinary people can use, and only those noble people like them can buy it. Therefore, every year, there are as many gold and silver wire charcoals as they need. The snow is too early, I am afraid that it will not come and be burned out, and even if they have the silver, they will not be able to buy it.
And now even the cotton is gone, what should the children do? Every year, they prepare new cotton to make cotton-padded clothes. The new cotton-padded clothes are warm. After one year, they are damp when they are taken out of the box. No matter what, they cannot be worn by children. That kind of cotton coat.
But how is this good?
