Shen Lianxin frowned. Was the food at the border so bad? Leng Feng was Gu Dingbei's man after all, but he couldn't even get enough to eat. It seemed that the situation of the soldiers at the border was even worse than expected.

After breakfast, the carriage that Shen Lianxin had ordered also arrived. Shen Lianxin led the carriage into the yard and asked the coachman to go to the front to have tea. She took the opportunity to fill the cart with cotton directly from the space, and connected 12 carts.

The cotton was transported to the cloth shop in a mighty procession. The shop owner was waiting in the backyard early and was delighted to see the carts of cotton. He checked, unloaded and weighed the cotton.

After a whole day of going back and forth with 12 carts, they finally transported 1 kilograms. The shopkeeper's warehouse was full, and the smile on his face became even bigger, as if he saw money going into his pocket.

He directly paid Shen Lianxin 2000 taels of silver, and the transaction was completed.

Shen Lianxin was in a good mood. After this transaction, she made a net profit of 192 million by exchanging space.

Leng Feng followed Shen Lianxin for a day, wondering, is the Crown Prince's wife doing business? He didn't know how much he could earn from such a day's work. He was more concerned about the Crown Prince at the border and his brothers in the barracks.

Shen Lianxin saw that he was unhappy, but ignored him.

After this incident, two days passed and Leng Feng became a little anxious.

"Madam, are we still going to Lingzhou? If we can get Zhao Dequan to the Northern Frontier with food and reinforcements as soon as possible, fewer of our Northern Frontier soldiers will die."

Shen Lianxin thought that she didn't know the ever-victorious general and she wouldn't be able to see him if she went there.

Besides, she couldn't just leave with her whole family, she still had to make some arrangements.

"No hurry, wait a little longer. Didn't your prince bring troops to support us? We can always hold out."

Leng Feng's mouth twitched. The palace was basically emptied out just to exchange food for the soldiers. What else can the old prince do except boost morale? He was able to hold on only because of his righteousness!

The clothes ordered from the cloth shop were finally ready. Knowing that Shen Lianxin needed them urgently, someone was sent to deliver them as soon as they were finished.

Knowing that Shen Lianxin was the owner of Shen's BBQ, the cloth shop owner respected her even more. Shen's BBQ was also famous in Yuncheng. Shen Lianxin saved people during the plague and was a sister of the wife of the Lingzhou prefect. Many people had never seen Shen Lianxin, but not many had never heard of her name.

Shen Lianxin made two sets of cotton-padded clothes for Zhang Boyun's mother Baizhi and Xiao Yan'er, and also left two thick quilts.

Baizhi and Yunniang were very happy. They had survived every winter in the past few years, with countless chilblains on their hands and bodies. Unexpectedly, they could wear new cotton-padded clothes this year. They looked very warm.

Xiao Yan'er also ran around the yard with new clothes in her hands.

Uncle Zhang didn't expect that Shen Lianxin was thinking of him while making clothes. After all, they all belonged to Shen Lianxin, but he and Shen Lianxin were only in an employment relationship, and Shen Lianxin paid him a lot of money.

"Boss, this won't do. I'm paid a lot, and I can buy my own winter clothes." Uncle Zhang felt a little embarrassed.

"I treat Uncle Zhang as a family member, so you're welcome. I don't know how much worry I have saved by having you help me run the store. This is also a small token of my appreciation."

Uncle Zhang was touched. He thought Shen Lianxin was a good boss, and he secretly vowed to help her run the store.

Shen Lianxin bought four silver hairpins from the mall. They were simple and elegant in style, suitable for both young and old. She also bought some rolls of cotton cloth that didn't take up much space and put them all in the carriage.

Shen Lianxin had obtained some wolf skins before, and specially asked someone to make several cloaks out of them. She kept one wolf skin for herself and made a full fur coat for Xiaozhen.

As for the rest, Shen Lianxin prepared to give one to each person.

Returning to Yunshan Village, all the villagers she met on the way greeted Shen Lianxin politely.

These days, every family has a hard time, and many families rely on the porridge provided by the Shen family to survive, so the villagers have more and more respect for Shen Lianxin.

Back at the Shen residence, Gu Chengzhen ran over excitedly, "Mom!"

After being away from her mother for several days, Gu Chengzhen felt a little uncomfortable, and her big watery eyes were filled with tears.

Xiaohua and Xiaoya also came to pay their respects, "Fourth Aunt."

Shen Lianxin took out a large box of cakes and touched everyone's head, "Be good, I brought you cakes, go and eat them."

Shen Zhaodi came out of the kitchen, and she looked much better. Except for being a little thin, there was no obvious problem with her.

"Lianxin is back. I'm making dumplings now. Come in quickly. We'll be able to eat soon."

Shen Lianxin looked around the yard and didn't see Xiaohui. "Big sister, where is Xiaohui?"

Shen Zhaodi shouted towards the inner room, "Xiaohui, come and see, who's back?"

Xiao Hui ran out happily, and when she saw Shen Lianxin, she happily bowed to her, "Aunt."

Shen Lianxin saw that the little girl was busy with something and asked, "What are you doing in the room?"

Xiaohui shyly took out a pair of insoles from behind her and handed them to Shen Lianxin, "Aunt, I made them." Then she lowered her head.

Shen Lianxin took a look and thought, Wow, this is really good. The stitching and craftsmanship are quite good.

Shen Lianxin showed surprise, "You made this? You can sew? This is really well done. Amazing!"

Xiaohui was delighted to hear the compliment. "I used to make clothes and shoes for my family. I saw some scraps of cloth at home, so I took the initiative to sew the soles. I hope my aunt won't dislike it if it's not good."

"Is this made for me?" Shen Lianxin compared it. It was not right. This was clearly a child's foot.

Xiao Hui was even more shy. "This, this is for Xiao An. Auntie's is in the room."

Everyone laughed. Shen Lianxin stopped teasing her.

"Go have some snacks first, and don't strain your eyes while making clothes."

Xiaohui turned around and ran away. Even without any teasing, the little girl's face turned red.

Shen Zhaodi looked at Leng Feng, "Who is this?"

He looked extraordinary, cold, and had an aura that kept strangers away. Could this be the new man that the fourth sister had found? Did she bring him back just like that? Would people gossip about him? Shen Zhaodi immediately thought of countless possibilities.

Shen Lianxin knew from her expression that this was a misunderstanding, and quickly said, "I bought a guard to guard the house. The women in our family are not safe, so buying a guard can protect them."

When Shen Zhaodi heard this, she felt relieved and patted her chest unconsciously, saying, "It's okay, it's okay."

Leng Feng clasped his fists and said, "Madam!"

Shen Zhaodi stepped back in fear, "Okay, okay."

Shen Lianxin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Zhaocai, take him to the door."

Zhaocai took the order and quickly pulled Leng Feng to the back door at the entrance and found an empty room for Leng Feng to stay in.

Shen Zhaodi had finally recovered, but Leng Feng frightened her and made her sick again.

Shen Lianxin took Shen Zhaodi's hand and took out the silver hairpin she had given her. "Big sister, take a look. Do you like it?"

When Shen Zhaodi saw it, her eyes lit up. In her entire life, she had never owned a piece of jewelry.
