After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

The heavy snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped.

Even so, apart from those who go to work and do business on the street, most other people will stay at home and tighten their belts in this cold winter.

Those who are reluctant to spend money on building a kang will carry a bundle of firewood and go to their neighbors’ homes in the village who have a kang to seek some warmth.

A handful of firewood from the east and a few pieces of charcoal from the west are enough to heat the kang for a day.

Therefore, the host did not drive anyone away, but the warmest and hottest place, of course, belongs to the host!

On Changjiao Street in Yunchang, the most popular place is Aunt Geng’s house.

Aunt Geng's life was prosperous and she became more generous.

Neighbors often came to her house to use the warm kang, and she never said a word. Instead, she provided hot water to everyone.

Even old lady Wang, who used the kang at home to grow green greenhouse vegetables, brought her daughter-in-law and grandson to Geng's house to use the kang.

Such behavior naturally cannot withstand the scrutiny of the neighbors.

But Mrs. Wang simply turned a deaf ear to them, and Aunt Geng felt sorry for the whole family and did not reject them.

"You have a kind heart like a bodhisattva." Old Mrs. Huang sighed.

Aunt Geng's fingers flew as she prepared to knit a sweater for Silang.

Kyoto is not as cold as Yunzhou, and no one knows how to build a kang, so Geng Silang can only rely on clothes to get through the winter.

Therefore, the sales of sweaters, gloves and socks in Kyoto are extremely brisk.

But Geng Silang was used to living a frugal life, and the sweater he wore was given to him by Baichuan Academy.

Whoever has a son, he will feel sorry for him.

After Aunt Geng learned about this, she decided to take advantage of the time when the cannery was not busy and quickly knit a few more sweaters for her son and ask someone to send them to him!

"They are used to hardship and it's hard for them to change their ways. If they can enjoy good times for a long time, they won't be like they are now."

Aunt Geng frowned, as if facing a difficult choice.

Old man Geng took the knitting needle and said, "You missed a stitch again. Let me do it. It's not good to let my son go out to meet his classmates in a sweater full of holes."

Once the knitting needle fell into Old Man Geng's hands, it was like a good child, knitting wherever he pointed it.

Aunt Geng had her hands free, so she chatted with the neighbors attentively: "My family had a hard time before. Although we live in a village outside of Kyoto, the nobles in Kyoto are very ruthless. The highest land rent once rose to 40%! We also had to pay extra taxes!"

"Oh my goodness, isn't that higher than we are now?"

Aunt Geng agreed and said, "Just like what is said in the Yunzhou Weekly, life in Yunzhou is the best. Just ask the merchants and you will know. You can't find a place in the whole Zhou that only charges 10% rent!"

"That's true! We have a lot more refugees in Yunzhou recently!"

"It's really strange. We Yunzhou people have always been the only refugees, but there are refugees coming here."

Mrs. Huang sighed and put the twisted wool yarn into the small bamboo basket: "I asked around and found out that they were originally from Hezhong County. Two years ago, there was a severe drought in Hezhong and Henan counties, and some refugees started an uprising, which was suppressed by the court. But the government did not recognize the land that originally belonged to his family."

"Shh, don't talk about this! It's better for us to talk about Yunzhou's affairs, so as not to bring disaster to the general!" Aunt Geng changed the subject sharply.

Mrs. Huang responded and clapped her hands twice, "I am old and confused, and I just blurt out all these things. I heard that the court sent a military supervisor to Yunzhou. The news has been passed back for several months. Why hasn't the supervisor arrived yet?"

Aunt Geng was also puzzled: "Who knows this? Could it be an accident that happened on the road?"

Old man Geng frowned. If an accident really happened, don't blame it on the general!

The emperor already has a grievance against the general. If something happens to the general, wouldn't that add fuel to the fire between the emperor and his subjects?

At this time, Wang Buxi and others came out of the governor's mansion and were also talking about the military supervisor.

"Just now in the mansion, I was afraid of affecting your mood, so I didn't dare to ask, where is the military supervisor now?" Yan Tongchu put on the cashmere gloves and felt a lot warmer instantly.

Wang Buxi was wearing a cloak and had a cold expression, which was completely different from the witty and witty person he had just been talking about. "It seems that this military supervisor is a troublemaker. I think he wants to go on a secret visit and secretly investigate the situation in our Yunzhou."

Qin Bohuai curled his lips in disgust: "All kinds of people want to come over to us and bully us! Do you really think that we have been guarding the border for more than ten years and are vegetarians?!"

The deputy general said: "If he wants to look, let him look. When a general is away from home, he may not obey the orders of the emperor. He wants to control our Yunzhou and climb over the general's head, haha!"

The last word, "ha", is full of murderous intent.

Lord Niu, the national defender general who was suspected of having evil intentions, was eating with his wife in a small restaurant in Huaishuo Town, sweating profusely!

"Ma'am, you should try their braised lamb. It's delicious and so fragrant that my tongue is about to fall off!"

Lord Niu was eating hard, and from time to time he would pick up a piece of mutton for his wife.

There was also a small charcoal stove on the table, and on the stove was a large clay pot with a wide mouth and shallow bottom.

The clay pot was bubbling, the tofu and meat slices were rolling inside, and the aroma of food filled the entire restaurant.

Most of the diners in the restaurant are foreign merchants, and they order dishes very familiarly.

Some of the Hu merchants took off their outer robes as soon as they came in and greeted the shop owners, obviously they were regular customers.

Mrs. Niu was also eating meat in big mouthfuls and didn't notice the new students at all.

"Dad? Mom? Why are you here?!" Niu Jinyi and his classmates planned to visit students' homes during the winter break.

Look, I just happened to come to Huaishuo Town!

They went directly to the home of Xia Lezhi, who had the highest academic performance in elementary school.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came in, Niu Jinyi saw two familiar figures. They were eating with relish and didn't even raise their heads.

Mrs. Niu turned around happily and saw that it was really her eldest son. She immediately waved to him, "Son, come quickly, this mutton is really delicious!"

Niu Jinyi and his classmates came over and put the two tables together so that everyone could sit down.

"Dad, Mom, why did you come to Yunzhou?" Niu Jinyi's heart was in his throat. Could it be that something happened at home and they escaped?

Mrs. Niu asked the store to serve a few more dishes, and then answered Niu Jinyi's question: "Your father is on a business trip."

"what?!"

Madam Niu: "Didn't you receive the notice from the court? Yunzhou is coming to supervise the army."

Niu Jinyi: "Received, but what does it have to do with us? No matter whether this military supervisor is a dragon or a snake, once he arrives in Yunzhou, he must coil up obediently!"

Mrs. Niu's expression was a little strange: "You haven't asked who the military supervisor is?"

"They are just cannon fodder, nothing to be afraid of!"

Lord Niu was very upset. Although he knew that his presence was unwelcome, he did not expect that he was both unwelcome and insignificant, and was completely ignored!

This includes his eldest son!
