The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

Over the next half month, the entire Yongji City suddenly became cold.

Logically speaking, October should be an ordinary late autumn, but now the temperature is not much different from winter, so people have put on winter coats.

Song Jiang and the others still surrounded Zhuangzi and did not leave. Imperial Physician An had returned to Beijing a few days ago. He came here on behalf of Your Majesty to check whether Lou Zhizhang's condition was true. It was not good to stay longer.

While Xue Mingyue was studying medicine with Dr. Cao, she had people prepare supplies for the winter.

Chunxia Town had already done a lot of shopping, but if you went to the capital to buy it, it would be easy for people to find clues. Merchants were seeking profits and driving up prices, so Xue Mingyue simply asked someone to lead a team to the surrounding counties to buy.

The amount I buy each time is not large, and I already have enough food at home.

They just let people spread the news of the cold wave while buying it. Even though His Majesty has issued an order to inform all counties, I am afraid not many people really took it to heart and did not take it to heart.

Then someone needs to stimulate them.

Yes, the head of Yuntian Temple came forward to inform Emperor Jingping about the coming cold wave, and he took it seriously. The decree to inform various counties had been spread to various places as early as five days ago.

Xue Mingyue is so busy every day, but she does not have much free time.

News from the capital reached her ears one after another. Li Nian would send her a letter every few days. Li Nian was now in charge of the theater troupe, and he would be there if anything happened. Let her know.

Xue Mingyue exhaled white air, which swirled upwards when blown by the wind.

She held the stove and raised her head to look at the desolate scene in the courtyard. In just over half a month, the leaves had fallen to the ground, and the weather was so cold that she had to wear three layers inside and three outside.

At this moment, even frost has formed.

In previous years, it would only be like this in the cold winter. Thinking that this coldness would last for five or six months, Xue Mingyue couldn't help but sigh. Even the capital was so cold, so how cold would it be in northern Xinjiang?

I don’t know if the food that was sent has arrived.

The envoys sent by the grassland barbarians should also be on their way, right?

"Girl, it's cold. Doctor Cao said that your body is not well yet, so it's best not to stay outside." Liu Yun advised.

Xue Mingyue sniffed, nodded, and held the hand stove tighter.

She has a cold constitution, and the Xue Mansion did not install a kang in her house, so she relied on charcoal every winter, but the charcoal was not much, so she always had to buy it from outside to barely get enough.

I don’t know whether it’s because the recuperation has taken effect in this life, or whether it’s because I was cold in the previous life, but I don’t feel very cold now.

Xue Mingyue said with a smile: "I heard that there are still a few geese in the village. Let the kitchen make a pot of stewed goose. It's such a cold day and you should have something hot. Grandpa's side is still the same. Give it to him. Just two pieces of goose meat.”

"Yes, I will go and inform the kitchen later."

Liuyun responded.

The two of them walked towards the main courtyard.

As soon as they walked out, before half a cup of tea, they saw a figure standing at the corner of the corridor not far away. It seemed that he heard some movement, and the man suddenly raised his head, and his eyes lit up after seeing them.

Lu Fang walked over quickly, his crimson cloak making the entire corridor light up.

"Why did you come so late today? You asked me to wait. The weather is getting colder and colder every day, and you go out later and later every day. Those who don't know may think you have slept in and overslept again. "

As soon as he arrived, he stood directly next to Xue Mingyue.

His tone was slightly complaining, but the smile on his face was bright.

Xue Mingyue said confidently: "It's so cold, so it's not a big deal anyway. It doesn't matter if you oversleep."

The kang was so comfortable that she wished she could stay in bed all day.

Lu Fang handed her an oil paper bag from his sleeve and urged: "This is the pastry that my book boy just brought back from the capital. It is still warm at the moment. Please try it quickly."

"No," Xue Mingyue shook her head, "I had already had breakfast when I came."

Lu Fang couldn't help but put the oil paper bag into her hand: "After breakfast, keep it for snacks. Anyway, I don't lack this food. By the way, how long will you stay in Zhuangzi?"

Looking at the paper bag in his hand, Xue Mingyue felt helpless.

He had no choice but to hand the things to Liu Yun first and said smoothly: "When the old gentleman's condition gets better, the teacher and I are planning to hold a free clinic soon, and then prepare to make more ointments."

Hearing this, Lu Fang's eyes showed a little disappointment.

Xue Mingyue turned her head to look at him and asked, "I heard Captain Song said that Qiu Wei will be reopened in a few days. Even Wen Ziqing and the others have stopped coming here recently. Aren't you going back to the academy?"

Wouldn't he not be able to see her when he returned to the academy?

Lu Fang thought in his heart, but he said: "I am the son of Uncle Chang Ning, and my aunt is still the queen. I can live a good life even if I don't take the imperial examination. It doesn't matter whether I go back to the academy or not."

"..."

Xue Mingyue rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I think you are just afraid of embarrassment."

With his level, he couldn't even compete with her. I'm afraid it would be too hard to pass the exam to become a scholar. I could only watch them preparing for the exam enthusiastically when they went back.

Lu Fang pouted, not wanting to argue with her.

The two of them bickered with each other and soon walked to the main courtyard. Xue Mingyue saw Ling Su standing under the eaves of the corridor in black clothes. She immediately stretched out her hand and waved, shouting: "Ling Su !”

Ling Su turned his head, and his slightly cold face softened.

When his eyes passed over Lu Fang beside her, he paused for a moment, then set his eyes on her again.

Xue Mingyue was a little surprised, and hurriedly ran over and asked, "When did you come back?" As she said that, she subconsciously looked at him from head to toe, and only felt relieved after making sure that he was fine.

Ling Su: "I just came back not long ago. I have finished reporting to Sir."

Xue Mingyue knew that her grandfather sent him out to lead a team to buy food. He not only had to travel to the surrounding villages, but also went to the capital to find out information. It took more than half a month to run back and forth like this.

She didn't ask anything else and just said: "Then go and change your clothes quickly. What you are wearing is too thin."

Ling Su shook his head lightly: "It doesn't matter."

"You have to go if you don't mind. I'll look for you after I finish checking the old gentleman." Xue Mingyue turned to look at Liu Yun, who quickly understood and stepped forward to guide Ling Su.

Ling Su seemed to have something else to say, but considering the occasion, he finally nodded and followed Liu Yun away.

After everyone left, Lu Fang snorted unhappily.

She was quite close to Ling Su, and it had been a long time since she had called him by his name in such a close manner. She always spoke of him as Mr. Lu, and even called him Mr. Lu when teasing him, but that was not what he wanted to hear.

Xue Mingyue didn't notice his emotions at all.

Ling Su's return means that he has brought back first-hand information from the capital, which is more credible than what others have written in their letters.

As long as the rumors about her in the capital are over, she can go out to free clinics with her teacher.
