Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

A few days further north, we will enter the early tenth month of the lunar calendar.

Daqi is close to the city in the north, and the autumn wind is bleak.

Sleeping on the official road, a cold crescent moon hangs on the horizon, withered branches cast into the night sky like silhouettes, a tiny gap is exposed in the carriage window, and the cold wind penetrates all the way.

"Madam, I will find the thickest quilt. It has been dried in the sun during the day. It is still fluffy and soft now."

Depending on the weather, it will get cooler at night.

Hong Li and a few maids sorted it out and found several pieces of ready-made clothes purchased from Ruyang.

The coat was thick and heavy on her body, and Jiang Yuzhu moved slowly.

On the other hand, Xie Zhao only wore a thin gown, which outlined his slim and tall figure.

"Yuanhe, this place is not as good as the capital, so let's add a coat."

Jiang Yuzhu carried a coat and came to Xie Zhao's side considerately.

"Students in the capital want style rather than warmth. It seems that they lose their scholarly character when they put on a coat. They would rather be exposed to the cold and drink bitter medicine soup than add an extra layer of clothing."

When you go out, your body comes first.

What if Xie Zhao gets sick and infects her?

Jiang Yuzhu kept an eye on Xie Zhao when it came to food, clothing, housing and transportation, and was determined not to give him a chance to hold him back.

"Listen to Madam."

Xie Zhao nodded, with a doting smile on his eyes and brows, and felt very at ease in his heart.

Jiang Yuzhu has changed a lot since leaving Beijing, and she cares more about him as her husband.

This is a good sign that the relationship between the couple is continuing to heat up.

"Yuzhu, look, my husband is wearing thin clothes, but his hands are hot."

Xie Zhao put his hands on Jiang Yuzhu's cheeks and couldn't put it down, admiring the smooth and tender feel.

People who practice martial arts naturally have body heat and are not afraid of severe cold.

"It's already cold enough before we reach Lingcheng. I heard it's snowing heavily in the north. Should we prepare a charcoal basin in the carriage?"

Several maids boiled hot water and poured a cup of soup into it.

Jiang Yuzhu leaned in the corner, drank a cup of hot tea, and put Tang Pozi on her lower abdomen. A steady stream of warmth came over her, making her feel a little more comfortable.

She was already suffering from cold and could not sleep well at night.

Realizing that his wife was afraid of the cold, Xie Zhao held Jiang Yuzhu in his arms and said, "Madam, the carriage is small and it is dangerous to burn charcoal for heating. It is better to be patient."

The carriage transporting grain and grass has arrived in the north, and the camp in the north of the city must prepare a house for the couple.

Although it's cold outside in the North, there are floor coverings in the house and a warm fire pit. As long as there is firewood, winter is not as difficult as imagined.

Jiang Yuzhu poured another cup of hot tea and agreed, "Okay."

Dinner was a simple meal of hot noodle soup. After finishing the meal and washing up, the surroundings of the official road were silent.

On one side of the carriage, a bonfire was lit.

A simple tent was set up next to the bonfire, and Shaoyao and several female relatives huddled on a bed to keep warm.

Seeing that nothing was abnormal, Jiang Yuzhu closed the remaining gap in the car window.

With the help of an oil lamp, she took out a piece of cut leather from the car bench, and then took out a bag of fine goose down.

"Yuzhu, what is this?"

Xie Zhao stared at Jiang Yuzhu's movements and saw some knowledge. He was not too surprised, "You want to use goose down to make clothes?"

In order to prevent the velvet from running away, Jiang Yuzhu sewed several grids to fix it, quickly sewed the inner liner of the front chest, and took the time to answer Xie Zhao's questions.

"My second brother's Honghong has been killed so many times that I don't know. Every time I save some goose down at home."

"In the winter in the North, the geese are still very capable of fighting while wandering in the ice and snow. I think the down on the geese's bodies should keep them warmer..."

Along the way, there were people selling large geese raised in their homes. Jiang Yuzhu taught Shaoyao and others basic suturing techniques and bought about twenty geese in one go.

It's just a big pain, being tortured repeatedly will eventually lead to death.

After the death, the goose meat was stewed over firewood, and the goose feathers were washed and exposed in a tent on the roof of the car to remove the smell.

Without modern technology, Jiang Yuzhu had to sew by hand.

Taking off her heavy jacket and wearing only a layer of goose down clothes, Jiang Yuzhu felt as light as a swallow.

"Everyone in the North has preserved rabbit skins. They use rabbit skins as linings to make goose down and duck down jackets, which are very effective in keeping warm and cold-proof. If they are popularized, it will definitely benefit the people."

Jiang Yuzhu's original intention was to facilitate herself, and she was very generous in her words.

Xie Zhao felt hot in his heart and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. He tried his best to adjust his emotions and pretended not to care: "Yuzhu, if it really has the effect of keeping warm, we will be the first to seize the market. There are many merchants competing for it."

Things related to people's livelihood are very popular in the North.

Jiang Yuzhu shook the tea cup, her heart ached for a while, and insisted: "We don't need to make money from this."

She is more scheming than Xie Zhao, and of course she knows the huge benefits involved.

In order to seize the market, we must manufacture and sell large quantities of garments while strictly guarding against them, and even conduct business to the main camp in the north of the city.

In the current situation, the soldiers can't even receive pensions. It's good to have a full meal. How can there be any extra money?

Rabbit skin and goose down are also common things, and the workmanship is not complicated.

As long as there is one finished product, the eldest daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law can make countless pieces.

Taking several aspects into consideration, if we spread the manufacturing process, we can gain a good reputation without causing huge losses.

Xie Zhao hesitated for a long time, then carefully said his words: "Yuzhu, on behalf of the soldiers in the camp in the north of the city and the people in the north, thank you."

His wife suddenly no longer loves money and becomes emotional, all because of him!

Xie Zhao suddenly had the urge to pick Jiang Yuzhu up and kiss her, his eyes burning.

"Yuanhe, this... we are husband and wife, we are a family."

Jiang Yuzhu wanted to tell Xie Zhao that he could not represent so many people, but she swallowed the words again.

If something is wrong, try not to take advantage of it.

Outside the window, the night is deep.

The north wind howled and broke the dry branches, making a snapping sound.

Jiang Yuzhu was covered with a thick quilt, her hands and feet were cold, and she couldn't sleep peacefully.

Feeling the coldness on his wife's soles, Xie Zhao quickly opened his clothes and held her feet in his arms to keep her warm.

In a daze, Jiang Yuzhu's ankle suddenly found a source of warmth, and the warmth spread from bottom to top, spreading throughout her body.

Feeling the heat, Jiang Yuzhu's slightly frowned eyebrows relaxed and her breathing became smooth.

After a good night's sleep, Jiang Yuzhu stayed in bed for the first time the next day. When she got up, a large group of people were already on the road.

Xie Zhao led the team, and only Jiang Yuzhu and a few serving maids were left in the carriage.

"Madam, please wash up first. The master left you some meat wontons, which are still warm."

Hong Li and several maids were gathering together to study goose down clothes.

"We don't have enough goose velvet. We'll just go to Lingcheng today to replenish it."

In Lingcheng, a large team of people was unloading the stones transported, so they had to stay for two days for supplies.

It is expected that we will be able to reach the border town of Beidi within seven days without any obstruction.

"Due to the war in the border city, many caravans no longer use the border city to transport goods. Make a list and purchase all the necessary application items in Lingcheng."

The prices of things that were in short supply in the border towns fluctuated, so Jiang Yuzhu told the maid to save as much as possible.

Just at noon, the large group of people arrived at the three-noon zone.

After the carriage stopped, Hong Jin went to look ahead, and her jaw almost dropped: "Madam, you haven't seen it, there are so many people in front of it, there are almost tens of thousands of people..."
