At first, Zhao Yu was afraid that Luo Yuqi would pester their father, so he would say a few words to Luo Yuqi from time to time, trying to stop her from stalking Chu Lixuan.
However, after more than a month of getting to know each other, he found that Luo Yuqi had no other thoughts about Chu Lixuan, so he stopped paying attention to her.
Luo Yuqi was very depressed. Although Brother Zhao was not very talkative before, he would occasionally reply with a few words, but recently he has stopped replying.
Brother Zhao was obviously walking well here and was pulling a cart of grain. As soon as she walked over, Brother Zhao struggled to turn several corners without walking next to her.
Luo Yuqi stopped Zhao Yu again, "Brother Zhao, are you hiding from me?"
"You know I'm hiding from you, so why are you coming together?"
"You... you..." Luo Yuqi was so angry that she wanted to cry.
This piece of wood is really unreasonable. Doesn't he understand my heart? Why don't you go and speak more frankly?
Luo Yuqi had no choice but to slide away to find Chu Nu and her eldest brother. She felt sorry for Zhao Yu and took a detour with another cart of food.
Wei Dabin didn't take it too seriously to watch the excitement, "Brother Zhao is so vulgar! I really don't know how to cherish beauty and cherish jade!"
Zhao Yu: "..."
"Brother Zhao, how can you live up to the beauty's wishes in such a good time and beautiful scenery?"
Zhao Yu: Yu: "If Brother Wei likes to be affectionate and cherishes the jade, then go after him. Do you want Zhao to help you set up a red line?"
Wei Dabin: "..." I am just looking for a fight!
He gave up talking to people who didn't understand the style and went after their father and his wife.
After walking for a few hours, everyone drank water and ate some dry food, but their stomachs were still cold. After walking for another two hours, it was time to rest for another day.
"Everyone stopped to prepare for a rest. The cooks went to cook, and the cooks went to weave bamboo baskets." Chu Lixuan stopped and said.
"The other thing is, pick a place to set up the wooden kang."
"Okay, don't worry, we'll go right away." Zhao Yu took the order and went to make arrangements.
"Brother Zhao, please help me load and unload the rice from the carriage." Chu Hua stopped and prepared to cook.
The sisters-in-law in their second room were timid and very afraid of Zhao Yu. Ever since Chu Hua got close to Feng Jianzhi, he was no longer so afraid of Zhao Yu.
"Take it! There are also potatoes. Ask Feng Jianzhi to come and move them." How can you, a woman, move them!
"Brother Feng, come here and help us move the potatoes." Chu Hua shouted loudly, if she had never shouted so vulgarly before.
"Here we are, don't move too hard, just let me get it." Feng Jianzhi said shyly.
As soon as Luo Yansong stopped, he dug out a pot buried in the snow to light a fire, and Chu Nu helped him.
The wives of the second wife went to peel potatoes. Today they didn't cook as many dishes as yesterday. The main reason was that the weather was too cold and the dishes they cooked were cold when they came out.
Jiang Xinyan taught them how to stew the pork belly into pieces, stew it with potatoes and cabbage in the same pot, and then cook the rice.
Everyone ate with gusto. How happy it was to have enough hot rice and hot dishes!
The refugees fleeing the famine along the road shocked everyone's eyes, making everyone feel doubly happy. Their admiration and gratitude to Chu Lixuan and his wife were like the endless waves of a river.
After entering Youzhou, no refugees were seen anymore. The refugees usually fled to the wealthy areas of the Central Plains.
No one would flee to the extreme north or south. When it first started snowing, there were still some refugees at the gate of Youzhou City. They were reluctant to leave their hometown where they were born and raised.
The refugees who fled the famine were waiting hard at the city gate, but they couldn't wait until the city gate opened. The weather was getting colder and colder, so the refugees who fled the famine had no choice but to move south.
The north wind blows the white grass on the ground and snow falls in August, which makes people feel the coldness of winter. Therefore, it was difficult for northerners to spend the winter in previous years.
In ancient times, the population in the north was sparse, not to mention that during the disaster years, except for the people in Youzhou City, the town was empty, not even a human being.
The next town is Mud Town, which is about fifty miles away, and there should be even less people there!
The aristocratic families in Youzhou Fucheng would use lamb skin and white fox skin to make fur coats. Most wealthy families would wear fur coats in winter to look good and keep warm when going out.
Ordinary people or ordinary people could only wear cotton-padded clothes in previous years, but this year they don't even have cotton-padded clothes, and they have no food. What can they do if they don't run away!
Winter in Youzhou is relatively cold, with the average daily temperature reaching about minus 20 degrees, and sometimes as low as minus 40 degrees.
There is snow everywhere, and occasionally you can see a few scattered animal footprints on the roadside, which is creepy to see.
But for experts like Wei Dabin and Zhao Yu, that is definitely a good thing, it means they have meat to eat again.
For Jiang Xinyan, be good! She has a new fur coat to wear. Thinking about her previous life, she had to eat potatoes for half a month to afford a piece of fur worth tens of thousands of yuan!
At this time, she had a fox fur cloak, a white one and a red one, sheepskin boots or real sheepskin with fur, a sheepskin vest...
In ancient times, she not only supported the Hou family, but also the Chu family's tens of thousands of troops. As for her, when she is fattened up, she will help the couple to open up wasteland and cultivate the land. She will soon become the mother-in-law of a wealthy landowner.
Chu Lixuan's doting eyes never leave her for a moment. Making her happy is his biggest wish, and he has always been looking towards her. Work hard towards this goal.
Today's prisoners have become bolder and will not scream in fear when they see animal footprints. Those who are a little bolder will also think in their hearts that they have fur to make clothes.
Jiang Xinyan taught the women in the team to turn the fur of the animal skin outward and put a layer of cotton inside to make clothes that are both comfortable and beautiful to wear.
People in Youzhou Prefecture who can afford to wear fur clothes must have a noble status, and Jiang Xinyan led everyone to use animal skins to make fur clothes themselves, which look good and keep warm.
The prisoners instantly felt that they belonged to a wealthy family. Men and women worked together and lived happily and fully every day.
The destination was getting closer and closer, no one felt a trace of panic, and the children were even more happy to follow Jiang Xinyan in the snowball fight.
The best-dressed people here are naturally the eldest princess and Jin Niang, because everyone respects them.
Jin Niang and the eldest princess' mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are both good at making women's dresses. Jiang Xinyan sighed: "The clothes made by my grandmother and mother are so beautiful, I don't want to I know how to make it!"
Jin Niang said, "It doesn't matter if Yan'er doesn't know how to make clothes. Mom will make them for you from now on. The clothes you made using the method you mentioned will be beautiful and warm."
What Jin Niang didn't say was that you have been since childhood . I studied medicine, but within a few years I became stupid. If I knew how to make clothes, that would be strange!
They all agreed that it was too normal for Jiang Xinyan not to be a female celebrity. If she could even be a female celebrity, how could others live?
Second Aunt Chu also said: "Yanyan, please don't do it. I'll teach your cousin-in-law how to do it for you."
