The general went out again at night

Within a few hours, Xia Qingshu went through all the rooms in the temple, large and small, and thoroughly checked them all.

The housing was originally arranged by the monks in the monastery, so they were not thoughtful enough, and there were many problems. Xia Qingshu made some adjustments according to the actual situation, which was justified and well-founded.

The first is her own residence.She moved her room to the side of Ji Qianyao's room, forming a square with the rooms of the Empress Dowager and Princess Ning. It is nicknamed, one guard protects the three masters.

This courtyard is full of royal family members. After washing at night, men are not allowed to trespass. If there is an accident, Xia Qingshu can arrive as quickly as possible.Qin Lu was also very satisfied with this change.

Then came Qin Lu's.When Emperor Hongsu issued the decree, he emphasized the prevention of "wild beasts" in the mountains, and Qin Lu was most worried.The matter of the beast has not been found out, it is hard to say whether it is a beast or a vicious thieves.It's easy for beasts to hurt people, just find them and drive them away.If it is man-made, it will be difficult. Man is the primate of all things, good at thinking and strategizing.It is even more difficult to guard against those with evil intentions and schemes, so we need to be cautious.

Xia Qingshu transferred Qin Lu to the westernmost room of the temple, in order to prevent the forest from being in the mountains.The room between Wei Linsong and Qin Lu naturally changed accordingly.

There are also some servants and slaves who have also made some changes.

After a busy day, Xia Qingshu's mouth was dry, and she spent a lot of time talking, so she needed to explain the reason clearly to these people.But after she finished her work, her steps were light and her mood was cheerful.

***

The monastery is no better than the palace, the mountains are poor, the houses are simple and simple, and there are few supplies, especially charcoal fire. There are so many people, and if they are divided into each person's hands, the quantity is not much.

Ji Qianyao sat in front of a simple Eight Immortals table, holding a few letters in his hands, and looked at them attentively.The cold wind blew in from the torn window paper, gently blowing the ends of her hair, and her fingers slowly became cold and stiff.

"Your Highness, it's cold in the mountains. Let's hug Mrs. Tang." Su Jin handed the pumpkin-shaped soup pot to Ji Qianyao.

Ji Qianyao's head was not straight, he reached out to take it, held it in one hand, and put it on his lap.

Su Jin rubbed her hands, and covered the leaky window with window grease: "It's okay to fast in the temple, and the food is light, but it's cold, you need to keep warm, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Your Highness." I can’t get sick from the cold.” After a pause, Su Jin picked and picked on the table, picked up a relatively strong window paper, compared it with the window, and couldn’t help complaining: “The master in this temple The window paper that was delivered is also not good, it is soft and weak, and I am afraid it can only last two or three days."

Su Jin carefully pasted the old window paper on the leaky window.

Hearing this, Ji Qianyao laughed: "We are poor in the mountains, we are not here to enjoy the blessings, don't dislike this or that. Just now there was a leak in Concubine De's room, and I couldn't find window paper anywhere, so I took a piece of clothes It was blocked. We still have window paper here, so it’s not bad, let’s be content.”

Ji Qianyao put down the letter in his hand, walked to Su Jin's side, picked up a piece of window paper, and flipped through it.

She stayed in Concubine De's room for a while just now, she was also there when she asked for the window paper, she could hear clearly, the little novice in the temple said that the window paper was used up, why would there be a copy here?

Ji Qianyao turned the window paper to the back, saw some crisscross marks, frowned and thought: "This window paper seems to have just been peeled off."

"In this cold weather, who would take off the window paper in his room and give it to others? Isn't that stupid..." After finishing speaking, Su Jin paused when she pasted the window paper, her pupils widened, her expression Regretted, she realized that she was speechless, because it was not impossible.

Su Jin turned her head with a stiff expression: "When I came back just now, my subordinate passed by General Xia's room and saw a black hole in the window. Could it be that General Xia secretly sent this window paper?"

Ji Qianyao's eyes drooped, and the corner of his mouth curled into a shallow arc: "Only she has been in our room, and it can only be her."

Su Jin slapped her mouth in her heart, how could she call General Xia a fool in front of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!

Su Jin turned her face away in embarrassment, and hurriedly pasted the paper on the window.

Ji Qianyao turned around, walked a few steps into the room, and his eyes fell on the black charcoal piled up in the corner of the wall.She approached and took a closer look at the charcoal.

Soon, she discovered something strange, the amount of black charcoal in her room was much more than that in Concubine De's room, more than double.

Could it be that Xia Qingshu sent all his charcoal here?

Standing still, Ji Qianyao's eyes were stained with a smile, and he muttered to himself: "This fool..."

After the joy, Ji Qianyao couldn't help worrying. This man brought all the charcoal he used for heating, and the window was leaking. How should he spend the night?

Thinking ecstatically, the sound of knocking on the door interrupted Ji Qianyao's thoughts, and then came the voice of a maidservant: "Your Highness, Master Wei has sent some charcoal fire, and wants to offer it to you, will the maidservant accept it or not?"

Ji Qianyao bowed his head in thought, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, and replied: "Take it."

"Yes, servant girl will reply now."

Not long after, the servant girl came in with a bag of black charcoal.

Ji Qianyao pointed to the corner of the wall: "Put it there."

"Yes." After the servant girl put Heitan down, Ji Qianyao pushed him away.

Su Jin finished pasting the window, squatted down, and untied the cloth bag wrapped in black charcoal.

Ji Qianyao: "Can you estimate how much charcoal Wei Linsong sent?"

"Master Wei's official rank is not low, and his weight is about the same as that of the royal family. The sent ones accounted for about one-third."

Ji Qianyao folded his arms, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's a lot. Three days of charcoal fire, one-third is one day, that is to say, he will be frozen one day. "

"Wei Shizi is indeed interested in His Highness."

"We brought the quilts from the mansion. The quilts provided by this temple are not available for the time being. You send someone to send a bed over to express our gratitude." Ji Qianyao's smile became cold, and he said quietly: "There are already quilts inside and outside the palace. The thought of praising him, I have to "praise" him."

"Yes."

"Also, you send the charcoal fire sent by Prince Wei to Concubine Ning. You send the one from the palace to the Empress Dowager, and this charcoal fire stove, also move one."

"Yes."

The darker the night, the colder it gets.Xia Qingshu came back from inspection, his nose was red from the cold.She rubbed her hands, tucked her neck into her thick coat, and turned her eyes to the next door.

In the next room, candles were burning high, and the charcoal fire made the room warm. One window had repaired traces, and the oil paper there was thicker than other places.Xia Qingshu was very satisfied, this way, someone would not be cold at night.

Xia Qingshu tugged at the corners of her stiff lips, and hurried back to her room.The room was chilly, and with the door closed, it was no warmer than outside.

Xia Qingshu's coat was smeared with snow, and she felt chilly all over her body. She took it off, but was terribly frozen by the cold wind blowing in from the hole in the window.

She opened the quilt, put it on her body, and said shiveringly, "Liu...Liuyan, quickly think of a way to block that opening."

Liu Yan found a haystack from the woodshed, spread it out and weaved it into a mat, covering the hole.

"Okay... much better." Xia Qingshu sat on the bed under the quilt, half of her head was covered by the quilt, leaving a pair of eyes, looking outside, her body shaking.

"General, when I was digging through the woodshed just now, I accidentally found some old Mrs. Tang. I don't know who put them there. I saw that it was still usable, so I filled it with hot water. Hurry up and warm your hands." Go." Liu Yan stuffed the two Mrs. Tang into Xia Qingshu's hands.

The hot Mrs. Tang relieved Xia Qingshu's cold, and she let out a long sigh of relief.

"When my subordinate came back from the woodshed, I heard that ginger soup was being made in the kitchen. Shall I go get some?"

"Okay, get some more."

After drinking the ginger soup, Xia Qingshu's body warmed up.She is a martial artist, her body warms up quickly.And as long as her body is warm, she will not be afraid of the wind and cold.

God has eyes, and when she was "poor", she sent timely warmth. Are you moved by her affection?

Must be.

Xia Qingshu sat cross-legged on the bed, wrapped around the quilt, feeling elated, shaking her body from side to side, with a smirk on her face.

***

In the white snow, a servant girl braved the wind and snow and walked to the westernmost wing of Fu'an Temple.

"Who is it?" Before stepping into the yard, a loud shout came.

"I am the servant girl serving by the side of His Royal Highness the eldest princess, and I am here to look for Master Wei." The servant girl reported her family name.

"It turned out that they were looking for Linsong." The voice of the questioner became warmer.

The servant girl stood there, waiting for this person to approach.After a while, the flames reflected his face.The servant girl saw the appearance of the visitor, and called out respectfully: "Qin Dudu."

Qin Lu smiled: "Go! I'll take you to find him."

"Thank you Dudu."

Qin Lu returned from his inspection tour of the mountains and forests, and took his servant into the West Courtyard along the way.

"Linsong, someone is looking for you, come out quickly." Hearing that it was the maidservant next to His Highness the eldest princess who was looking for you, Qin Lu was also very excited.

Hearty laughter came into the room, Wei Linsong heard it, put down the hot tea in his hand, put on brocade clothes and thick fur, opened the door and came out.

"Who is looking for me?" He had already guessed in his heart, but he came lightly with the excited expression on his face.

Qin Lu got out of the way, and the maid stepped forward: "The servant is waiting beside the eldest princess, and has ordered a quilt for Lord Wei under the orders of His Highness."

After hearing the servant girl finished speaking, Wei Linsong released the joy in his heart, hurriedly stepped forward two steps, made a bow, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for the reward!"

"Master Wei put it away, the servant girl will leave first."

"Miss, go slowly." Wei Linsong hugged the quilt and walked a few steps, while Qin Lu stood there waiting for him.

"Brother Qin, it's cold outside, let's go in quickly." Wei Linsong came back with the corners of his mouth raised.

"Okay, you boy! Your Highness the eldest princess treats you differently!" Qin Lu jokingly pushed Wei Linsong's shoulder as the servant walked away.

"I was just afraid that His Highness would be cold, so I sent some charcoal." Wei Linsong felt a little embarrassed, and suddenly realized that the charcoal fire in the room was shared with Qin Lu, so he hurriedly asked, "Brother Qin, what are you doing?" Don't you mind? Just now you have not returned from the mountain tour, Linsong took the charcoal fire on his own initiative and sent it, without discussing it with you."

"Oh, of course I don't mind."

"Thank you, Brother Qin." Wei Linsong cupped his hands and bowed.

"His Royal Highness the eldest princess has never been like this with others before, so I am optimistic about you." Qin Lu said with a smile next to Wei Linsong's ear.

"I will try my best to win His Highness's favor!" Wei Linsong clenched his fists.
