Unlike the autumn reds and greens, in the cold winter, there is no other color to enjoy except wintersweet.

When Wu Xian came, he saw Mrs. Mi Fang smiling under the eaves from afar. The peonies on her temples were beautiful and beautiful, making people look more beautiful. He was curious about where there were peonies at this time, but when he looked closer, he realized that this peony was not that peony.

Mrs. Mi Bang saw him curious.

He smiled and said, "It was my wife who rewarded her today."

Wu Xianqi said: "You said madam?"

Where did the lady get it?

After asking, I remembered that yesterday's memorial was returned from He Yin and said that I had brought some gifts from there to give to the female family in the backyard. I even reported this to him. When asked what it was, Xu Jie only said it was a "flower", but Wu Xian didn't care much.

Now, it looks so exquisite.

The wind is strong at the door, and it is not a place to speak.

"Father!" The confused son heard the movement and got up, kicked his calf and trotted, almost throwing himself into his arms.

Wu Xian was serious about his two legitimate sons and often treated them with high demands, but he was not so strict with his young concubines, so he was pampered. He only had a few years of life to carry his son to his knees and sit down.

"Have you finished teaching today?"

"After studying, will my father teach me how to take the test?" The son replied in a slight voice, with a little nervous and nervous look on his face.

Wu Xian smiled and said, "Okay, come and test you."

It is said that it is an exam, but in fact it is just a few questions, and you can pass it easily - after all, you are still young and can't tell what your qualifications are. Naturally, Wu Xian's requirements for him will not be too high.

It was cold inside the house, and Mrs. Mi Bang asked her maid to add a charcoal basin.

Wu Xian said with emotion: "Wenzhu told me before that every household in Heyin has a earthen kang, so it can keep warm without burning charcoal. Although this charcoal fire can keep warm, it cannot be used by ordinary people, and it is extremely difficult to bear every winter."

Mrs. Mi Bang is good at observing words and expressions.

Seeing Wu Xian stand up, he smiled and asked according to the other party's wishes: "Although I don't know what this earthen kang is, since it can keep warm, I will definitely burn something, so the common people can afford it?"

Wu Xian took the warm water she handed over and took a sip, saying, "It's said it's hay, straw and even animal manure."

"That earthen kang is not easy to make?"

Wu Xian shook his head: "It's very simple to hear."

Mrs. Mi Bang asked, "Why don't you follow me?"

Wu Xian didn't say anything.

It’s not that he is not moved, nor is it that he is kind and can’t pull the sheep Shen Tang, but he catches a crop of leeks and a lamb throughout the year, and his old face is a bit slapped.

The outside world really thinks that the two of them are "Tang Di's deep love"...

No matter how thick your face is, you can't just take advantage of others.

The most important thing is-

He has to think about how to open this mouth!

He didn't say it, but Mrs. Mi Bang subtly understood his thoughts-he only needed a step now.

"I am not like a wise man. I don't know a few words and don't understand the great principles. However, when I was young, my family could not burn charcoal, and I suffered from cold and sores, but I would never forget it... If this earthen kang could make the poor family not afraid of wind and snow, I don't know how many innocent creatures could be saved... Mr. Shen has always been kind again. If he knew that a wise man was dedicated to the people, how could he not respond?"

The skill of stealing someone’s kang is definitely not good.

But you can "buy".

Either buy someone to build a "patent" for building a kang, or hire craftsmen who are good at this to build a kang and give labor money.

With the "brother relationship" between Wu Xian and Chen Tang, the two sides discussed it carefully and could still get the friendship price.

Wu Xian said: "This is very true."

He slapped his thigh and decided to send a letter to Chen Tang. He used the grounds that "My concubine Mi Bang had frostbite and could not bear the cold, but the charcoal fire choked her and was not easy for her health." He took a step to hire a craftsman to build a kang in Tianhai.

Best to buy this craft.

There are few craftsmen, and no matter how skilled the craftsmanship is, it takes time. The efficiency is too slow. It is better to let your own people learn and promote it on a large scale. Wu Xian sat down and thought about it, intending to sell the earthen kang to Shangnan and Yiru, and pull down the two families.

The three companies will share the "patent fees" together!

Wu Xian's abacus in his heart was crackling.

He had an idea in his mind, and Yu Guang was attracted by the peonies between his wife Mi Bang's hair. After asking, he found out that Xu Jie sent more than a dozen velvet flowers, and his concubines in the backyard were divided into two or three, most of which were wintersweet and black tea, and only two peonies.

Although the current level is not as strict as before, Mrs. Mi Bang's identity is not allowed to wear peonies, and even the patterns of clothes are not allowed to be used. Mrs. Zheng gave her one, saying that she was delicate in color and looked good in wear.

"What's wrong with this flower?"

"There is nothing wrong, it really highlights your skin color. If you wear it in your own yard, you will still wear something else if you go out, so as not to get out of the conversation." Wu Xian leaned his back relaxedly and changed the topic with a smile. "Dr. Chen is also interesting, and these gadgets are so proficient... But this is a path after all. It is better to recruit more troops than to have this energy... The current situation is still stable, but I heard that all the places were tortured by the group of refugees and bandits... Isn't this someone interested?"

Chen Tang has a good reputation.

Chen Tang loves to make money.

Or lead the people under the rule to make money.

The purpose of reclaiming deserted fields is to allow the common people to have enough food, the purpose of raising pigs is to give the common people an extra income, and the purpose of building houses and kangs is to allow the common people to have a comfortable nest to shelter from the wind and rain without the cold. Even in the slack farming season, what kind of velvet flowers are to make more money by governing the common people...

As long as it is not for the purpose of accumulating wealth, recruiting troops and strengthening itself, it is a good thing for Wu Xian.

After all, he has a neighbor who is sharpening his knife all day long, and is excited and jumping up and down, and he is not at ease. A good little brother cannot be stronger than him, nor can he be more noisy than him. It is just right now.

He was very happy to see Chen Tang devote himself to the common people.

Mrs. Mi Bang wondered: "Why is it a path?"

Wu Xian changed to a more comfortable sitting posture: "It is not a good thing for a child to have a daughter in the downtown area. If Brother Chen was born in a prosperous era of peace and prosperity in the world, he would have been a parent official who was loved and supported by the common people everywhere, but it was the current world. No matter how much money and food the common people were in their hands, they would encounter the desperate people who forced their homes into the household, they would end up losing money and money... In this way, the refugees in the past were too many to survive and rob others of the money and food... "

Wu Xian sneered and said quietly: "...The robbery is much faster than a little planning."

When Mrs. Mi Bang heard this, she subconsciously brewed a sentence in her heart that made her sweaty when she remembered it - would the wise man rob others? Fortunately, she rolled twice on the tip of her tongue, and then she secretly swallowed it back to her stomach.

Wu Xian didn't notice Mrs. Mi Bang's strange expression, and could roughly guess what she was thinking.

"Then, if you say so, Shen Jun didn't even have any soldiers to deal with the outlaws?" Mrs. Mi Bang patted her sleepless young son, looking confused.

"It is naturally true to deal with ordinary outlaws." Wu Xian was worried that the fat boy would press on Mrs. Mi Bang, so he helped her carry the child aside, and continued, "But this outlaw is not fighting alone, but a thousand troops?"

"……this?"

"It's not just Brother Chen, but Tianhai is the same. I just hate it but still weak." Wu Xian's eyes were a little worried. I don't know how long this peaceful life could last... Is it enough for him to live to see his children grow up and start a family and start a career?

Mrs. Mi Bang also fell silent.

Wu Xian was a big-hearted person. He quickly walked out of emo mood. He looked at the flowers on Mrs. Mi Bang's temples, pondered for a while, and asked, "I remember in a few days, the wintersweet banquet that the wife had prepared for a long time? Are they ready?"

Mrs. Zheng fell ill after winter.

Because she lacked energy, she took the initiative to ask Mrs. Mi Bang to help with mundane affairs in the backyard, but she still had a dowry in her hands for a job like buying. Mrs. Mi Bang went to Mrs. Zheng's yard during the day. The peony velvet flower with only two branches in her temples probably also wanted to win over Mrs. Mi Bang while raising hatred for the other party...

The wintersweet banquet is a regular program every year.

Used to connect with each other and consolidate relationships with each other.

On this day, all the women in each family will dress up and travel.

Mrs. Mi Bang said: "Yes, it's already ready."

It was the first time she had handled this matter. She wanted to keep an eye on every link, trying not to make any mistakes, for fear of leaving someone with a handle to criticize her. She had no family background, and the only one she could rely on was her husband Wu Xian.

Only by relying on children can you be favored can you stand in a place.

This was not what she wanted, but the ridiculous thing was that she could only rely on these to obtain a peaceful and safe life.

What's even more ridiculous is that her current situation is beyond the pursuit of countless women struggling in the quagmire.

Wu Xian carefully looked at her face and the dazzling and exquisite peony velvet flower on her temples.

He said: "Wear the wintersweet feast, go with it."

Mrs. Mi Bang's heart skipped: "But Xianlang didn't say that... this is very inappropriate..."

"It's just a reward for your favor. Why do you think Chen gave me the idea of ​​Wen and asked him to send the best velvet flowers to the backyard? Isn't it that you can make a splendid banquet at which you can make a lot of excellence, which attracted a group of women to follow suit? Since that's the case, Chen's wish is to close the market tax anyway... it's not a loss."

Mrs. Mi Bang: “…”

She thought for a while and said, "It's still inappropriate."

"Why is it inappropriate?"

Mrs. Mi Bang has always been smart and witty, and bit her red lips lightly: "I am glad to the wise man, and I am respectfully called "Mrs. Bang", but after all, I am a concubine. I wear peonies to attend the wintersweet banquet. What do you think about the wife of each family? What do you think when she sees this thing on my temples? It is hindered from the public and the wise man's famous scenic spots; for private reasons, this velvet flower is not only not pleasing, but also makes it dislike for all wives..."

Wu Xian was silent for a long time after hearing this, but unfortunately said, "It would be great if the wife had you a little sensible..."

Mrs. Mi Bang didn't dare to talk to each other again.

Fortunately, Wu Xian didn't take advantage of the topic to continue talking. He was actually quite depressed recently. His wife has been in charge of the gifts for many years and has been in good order. Wu Xian loves and respects him, but only one thing makes him complain.

Mrs. Zheng had close contacts with her parents' home, and outsiders could see that her brother had a bad intention.

First, he instigated Wu Xian's two legitimate sons to fight each other, which made the two children even more polite to the illegitimate brothers and sisters in the family, and was closely related to the assassination of Wu Xian.

But Mrs. Zheng felt pity for the two brothers of her mother and tried her best to favor them. The brothers of her mother... were quite peaceful in the past two years, but recently they started to behave evil again. Mrs. Zheng had to plead with Wu Xian around the bush.

He said that he wanted to use Mrs. Mi Bang to knock on her and suggest her to Mrs. Zheng, but Mrs. Mi Bang refused to cooperate.
To be continued...
