Chapter 162 Frozen

He opened a box again. There were all cotton coats in it. He took out one of them, and there were almost no needles and corners. This was made by his eldest daughter, and he was the only one. The eldest daughter, with such exquisite embroidery branches, can make such good clothes.

There is also a box, which is filled with things like dried fruit pickles that can be stored for a long time. In addition, there was a letter, he took it out and opened it again, and as soon as he saw the words on it, he knew that it was written by Shen Qingci.

This word should not be well practiced.

When he saw the handwriting of the little daughter, he had a headache. It was obviously taught by a great scholar, but she was a drag and did not improve at all.

He sat down and read it word by word.

"Don't worry, Daddy, A Ning will let Daddy eat his fill. This is the clothes that my sister made for Daddy, and A Ning asked my sister to make a few more sets for Daddy, so my sister helped Daddy make clothes, A Ning There are."

Completely childish, but every time, it makes Shen Dingshan's heart tighten and his throat hurts.

These five clothes were all made for him by the eldest daughter day and night. Even so, the younger daughter was afraid that he would not wear enough clothes, so she begged the eldest daughter to make three more sets.

Even if he was in such a bitter and cold place, as long as he knew that the children at home were safe, they all cared about his father, so no matter how much suffering he suffered, he would still 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 the three large boxes, he couldn't help but smile and said, "The general is very lucky to have such smart sons and daughters, they can save the three generals. Gan's life, the merit is boundless,"

"You've won the prize, but it's just that the children are worried that this general will starve."

Shen Dingshan didn't say much about these matters, and of course he couldn't say it. Shen Qingci paid out the 100 taels of military expenses to the three armies every year, and now the army has enough food and grass, and everyone has new cotton-padded clothes. It can make people feel more comfortable, no, it can be said to be a peace of mind.

"Take two of these and wear them," Shen Dingshan said, pointing to the cotton-padded coat and boots in his pockets.

"Then thank you, General," Yan Ming was also different from Shen Dingshan. He picked up a set of cotton-padded clothes and put them on. He was about the same size as Shen Dingshan. Naturally, they were also wearing the same clothes. As for this time Wei Guo Where did the cotton-padded clothes and food provided by the government come from, he is also smart and won't get to the bottom of it, as long as he remembers the kindness of the three children of the Shen family.

And what he said was indeed right. These grains and cotton coats really saved the lives of the three soldiers, otherwise it would be unimaginable.

And in the capital at the moment, this sudden heavy snow almost buried half of the capital.

Everyone didn't expect that the snow would fall early, but it would clear up very quickly. However, one day has passed, two days have passed, and the snow has always been there, but it has never stopped.

On the first day, everyone was able to deal with it calmly, and even a little curious, admiring the snow in the early spring, but after a few days, no one could really laugh at it.

The cotton-padded clothes can still be dried when they are still on, but apart from the charcoal sinking last year, there is no new charcoal available in each house. The charcoal was all looted, and there was so little charcoal, how could it be enough? There is not enough in one mansion, let alone the entire capital.

The weather turned so cold all of a sudden that almost everyone was unexpected. Cotton coats and charcoal fires all stumped the people in the houses, and the snow obviously showed signs of getting worse and worse. .

"Princess, princess..."

A woman hurried in and saw Princess Jun hugging her grandson and coaxing her. No, she misses her grandson. The daughters came back with a few children, and it snowed immediately. .

Adults can't stand the cold, let alone children. They are wearing hard cotton-padded clothes, which are damp and thin. No matter what, they can't get warm. The new charcoal has not been sent back. It can't be lit again, it's lit, and the smoker's eyes hurt, and several children are crying uncomfortably. There is no way for them to be adults, so they can only warm them in their arms, and then give them warmth. Thick quilt, this is not to cry.

But Princess Jun felt like she was going to cry. She was also cold. Her hands and feet were freezing and numb, especially when she was still here. She felt sorry for her grandson, and she was holding it all by herself. It's those mothers who are careless. Several children were born naturally, and they really haven't suffered so much. It's really not the right time for the snow this year. I still felt a little stuffy a few days ago, why is this? It snowed heavily for a few days.

"Have you bought the charcoal?" She asked the woman who came in. She had already said that she was going to buy it, and there was new cotton. Now the winter clothes may not be made, so it's better to make them yourself. This lord doesn't mention it, but she Several of my grandchildren are about to get sick from the cold.

"Princess, it's not easy to buy."

The old woman has also urged several times, but some things can't be urged back. The heavy snow has sealed the mountain, and even with the snow, the wood is also wet. There is no way to burn the charcoal. Even if it is burned, it will be robbed before going down the mountain. As for cotton, where is there cotton now?

There are only a few shops selling cotton, and their shops have long been empty. Let’s not mention these. The prices of the grain shops outside have all gone up. If there are still some grains in the Prince Jun’s mansion, I don’t know if it’s really like this. Like those ordinary people, they are going to be hungry soon, but there is no supply of new grain, even those old grain owners are not used to eating.

"It's so serious?" Princess Jun's heart sank involuntarily. It hasn't snowed so heavily in Beijing for a long time. Of course, there has never been a winter where you can't buy charcoal. Silver wire charcoal is not something that ordinary people can use, and only these noble people will buy it, so every year, such gold and silver wire charcoal is required as much as possible, but this year is unlucky. The snow is too early, I am afraid that it will not come and burn it, and if it is not burned, even if they have money, they will not be able to buy it.

And now even the cotton is gone, so what will the children do? They have to prepare new cotton to make cotton clothes every year. The new cotton clothes are warm to wear. After a year, when they are taken out of the box, they will be damp. No matter what, they cannot be worn by children. Such a coat.

But how is this good.
