Fortune Orb [Qing]

Thinking that this year was not peaceful, the imperial court was worried about the snowstorm and made a lot of preparations in advance. In fact, there was only one heavy snowfall at the end of November. This snow covered the front and back of the house with a thick layer. White, with snowflakes fluttering and looking very elegant, Baozhu was wearing a cloak and holding a hand stove and stood under the eaves, watching Cinderella rolling around in the courtyard, Tiandong urged her to go back to the house several times, but she didn't listen.

On this day, she drew up a pen in Dongnuange to make a picture. In the picture, three wolf cubs were having fun in the snow. When Yinzhen came back, she ran into Banxia persuading her to use ginger tea. Take a break.

Baozhu doesn't like the scorching summer, and summer is the best thing she can live.

She likes to lean against the bed and watch the snow fall, but she can't stand the cold.

Yinzhen was very afraid that she would not take care of her body and make herself sick, so she watched her and drank half a bowl of ginger tea, and wrapped her in his arms that night, not letting any cold wind into the bed, so as to prevent her from sticking to it. Next morning, I woke up really well the next morning, with no stuffy nose or dizziness.

Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief, Baozhu was amused by him, Yinzhen stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of her nose, and said, "Stay inside the house in such a cold day, don't run out, don't make me worry." From the looks of it, it's not just the cold. After the snow falls, the ground will be much slippery, and if you don't step on it firmly, you will fall.Right now, the whole world is covered in silver, and the sky is covered with white, what can there be to see?What are you doing outside?

Baozhu made a good promise face to face, and when Yinzhen came out of the house, she couldn't sit still, and after feeding her sons and coaxing them to sleep, Baozhu left a few nuns in the room to watch, and brought Tiandong Pinellia with her. Out of the courtyard.

She was very itchy, she wanted to see the red maple trees facing the wind and snow, and she also wanted to go around the lake to see if it was frozen.

Passing through the veranda, the red maple trees on both sides are in full bloom in the snowy sky, burning like fire. The passionate red makes the surrounding scenery come alive, and just looking at the orb feels warm.Walking to the end, Hongye Lake has begun to freeze, and the ice layer is still thin.

"This snow continues to fall, and in a few days we will be able to play on the ice on the lake. Dachun likes to play this very much."

Ban Xia has a lively temper, so she quickly responded: "If Fujin wants to reach Elder Brother Chun, why not take it over to accompany you."

Baozhu also thinks the same way, she wants Ten and 56 to come together, let them play, and cook hot pot in the pavilion to eat when they have enough troubles, it is always difficult to eat other things in winter, especially meat dishes, the chopsticks have not been put on the table yet The oil froze, and it was disgusting to look at.

Thinking of this, she became full of anticipation, turned her head and told Feng Quan to watch carefully, and when the lake was completely frozen and could jump and dance on it, she asked the master to invite Shi 56 to come over to the mansion. Don't forget the Sibeile mansion Xiao Honghui.

The previous summer was really cruel to Honghui. I heard that after he recovered his health, he was escorted by his fourth brother to study. He was only three years old and he was already studying three hundred thousand. They climbed trees, pulled out eggs, went into the water to touch fish... Such a comparison, Honghui's life is really not human.

The last time I went to Sibeile Mansion to talk about Honghui with my sister-in-law, she seemed to think that it was a good thing to be enlightened early, and she was very proud to say that Honghui was smart since he was a child, which made the fourth brother think highly of him.

This kind of attitude made her swallow all the words that came to her lips, but she sighed in her heart that the higher the birth, the greater the responsibility, and she thought that she must not let Yinzhen learn this, it doesn't matter if her stupid son spends two years .

Baozhu hoped that the lake would freeze quickly, and she wasn't the only one who thought so, the young masters and ladies of all the prefectures hoped that there would be more snow, so that they could enjoy the snow and plum blossoms.

Rich and noble families don't know the sufferings of the people, and what the people want is a warm winter.

The drought in the first year reduced the grain production in the field, and in severe cases, the harvest was even cut off. Even if the imperial court circled the hardest-hit areas to exempt them from taxation for one year, not all the people got benefits.The places closer to the capital are fine, but those unscrupulous parents and officials in the south still collect taxes and force people to sell their land and daughters to raise money.The money was not sent to the household department, but all went into the pocket of the official.

Leaving aside these unconscionable things, even if taxes are exempted according to the order issued by the imperial court, the autumn harvest may not be enough to eat.

This year's harvest has been bad, and the people are counting on the next year's good weather.If it is too cold in winter and the ground is frozen, it will directly affect the spring sowing, which is something no one wants to see.Even if we don’t talk about the harvest, we just talk about heating. Not every household can afford to burn a kang, and most of them can only endure the winter wrapped in cotton-padded jackets. As in previous years, many people will freeze to death.

Kangxi is an emperor who attaches great importance to agriculture. He always looks forward to this winter. Sibeile Yinzhen, who is in charge of the household department, also thinks the same way. He understands the harm of natural disasters to the court better than other brothers.

The decision to reduce or exempt taxes has already put a lot of pressure on the court, and it is necessary to use money for disaster relief, which can empty the national treasury.

It is said that the auspicious snow heralds a good year. It is true. The right amount of snow has many benefits, the most direct is that it can reduce insect damage... The heavy snowfall for several days is obviously not within the scope of auspicious snow. Such heavy snow comes twice a winter, and spring begins It takes a lot to thaw the land.

Yinzhen's understanding of agriculture is not very good, but his position is exactly the same as that of Huang Ama and the fourth brother. He is not thinking about the people's livelihood in the world, and he can't control Baozhu anymore.

Being in the north, it is a luxury to live a warm winter. Yinzhen's expectation was in vain after all. Although the amount of snowfall this winter was not as high as a natural disaster, it still managed to freeze the lake. After the lake was completely frozen , Feng Quan tried it himself, let alone walking on the ice, stomping his feet is no problem, he reported the news to Baozhu, and sent out the post in triplicate from Jiubeile Mansion.

The share in the palace was sent to the imperial concubine. I heard that the old Jiufujin wanted to invite the younger elder brother to visit the mansion. She personally told the nobleman Wang that she was very happy to see her son go to the Jiubeile mansion and asked about the date. , I went back and picked out pleasing clothes for my two sons, and asked them to wear them when the time came.

Originally, they only invited Shi 56, Honghui and Dachun, but Yinzhen made such a big noise that many people came here uninvited.

In the palace, the old ten head expressed dissatisfaction, and he made an appointment with Shi Thirty-Four, and Fu Cha's house was even more handsome and unrestrained, and no one was willing to lag behind... At this stage, things were completely beyond Baozhu's expectations, and finally It was Yinzhen who came out to receive so many male guests, and invited them to go to the lake to play ice-cold together. After making a few rounds of besieging the city, they cooked hot pot for dinner in the pavilion.

A few little ones lined up to Zhuyu Pavilion to greet Baozhu. Dachun saw a wolf cub that was fat enough to be a meat dog and was about to climb on his back. The sound of woo woo woo was stopped quickly.

Hong Hui also liked the three fluffy animals very much. He really wanted to get closer and touch them, but remembering Ama's teaching, he couldn't help but took half a step back.

Seeing him like this, Baozhu gave him two pieces of jerky, and asked him to help feed it to Xiao Qiao, saying that Xiao Qiao liked to grind his teeth with this.

Since Aunt Ninth asked for the entrustment, Hong Hui nodded solemnly, promising to complete the task, and he took the jerky and walked over on short legs.Because I heard that he was here for ice play, Ulanara was afraid that he would be cold, so he was dressed thickly.Hong Hui wanted to squat down in front of Xiao Qiao, but his foot was unstable and he sat down on the ground. He was dressed thickly but he didn't feel any pain, so he squatted up with difficulty while supporting the ground, and handed the jerky to Xiao Qiao.

This dried meat has always been very popular. The wolf cub can eat a lot of it every day, and he likes to grind his teeth with it when he has nothing to do. However, Xiao Qiao didn't take it away directly. I couldn't help but want to use my paws to push the jerky away before opening my mouth, and at the same time lay down on the ground, covering my nose with my front paws.

Hong Hui was stunned by its series of reactions, seeing that Xiao Qiao closed her eyes and pretended to be dead, then raised her head and looked at Bao Zhu in bewilderment.

It was only then that Baozhu remembered that the three wolf cubs in her family were indeed very spiritual. They would only eat them if their master told them to their face that they would be fed by so-and-so. .

Baozhu couldn't help laughing, she walked over, squatted down after him, first patted Honghui's body, wiped his little claws that had been propped on the ground, and then stroked Xiao Qiao's back hair.

With the owner's permission, Xiao Qiao took the jerky away, squatted down in a corner and grinded her teeth slowly.

Dachun was very happy watching from the sidelines, and said that he would ask Ama to get him one when he went back. He had never found wolf cubs so interesting before.

Baozhu remembered his physique. He had raised starlings in the past, and he would say congratulations to the rich master. It was quite expensive to buy, and the starlings didn't live for a few months, so they died of exhaustion.

I just hope that the eldest brother can find a wolf cub with tenacious vitality for him, so that he won't let him kill half his life.

Baozhu cared a little bit about his life as a companion student, and then asked about the affairs of the family. Dachun answered them one by one. Even though it has been so long since he got married, Dachun's temperament has not changed. Less, still the same clingy.

"Auntie, you don't miss me. It took me so long to pick me up."

As soon as he bald, he talked a lot, and said that he would let Baozhu go back together, her yard was still there, and the furnishings inside were not touched at all, and someone would clean it up every day.

Baozhu was also very moved when she heard it, but she still rejected him.

……

The Jiubeile Mansion was lively all day long, and after sending off all the visitors, I heard that the Five Fortune Jin Ta La clan had been activated.

In fact, it’s not yet time, she slipped under her feet in the courtyard today, and the nanny quickly supported her with her hands, so she didn’t fall, but she was still frightened, so she asked the maid to help her back to the room, and she said that her stomach hurts as soon as she sat down After a while, she was helped into the delivery room.
