A Blessed Daughter

  Chapter 202 After the heavy snow

The servants of the Captain's Mansion had already climbed up to the eaves several times in order to sweep the snow off the eaves, fearing that the thick snow would crush the roof, and also afraid that the frozen large snow would suddenly fall and hit the eaves. passerby.

  The main houses are better. There is always a charcoal fire, the roof temperature is higher, and the snow is relatively less. The other rooms have a thick layer of snow on the roof. If it is not dealt with in time, it will be very dangerous.

  The snow in the courtyard could not be cleared, and the servants only swept a narrow path for people to pass through on the only way.

  There are also people on the main road outside who sweep the snow nearby and open the passing trails, while those uninhabited alleys are covered with snow.

  In Cangyun Garden, Yun's head was in a state of desperation, the heavy snow blocked everything, and many things were difficult to buy.

  The food in the mansion is not enough. Without fresh vegetables, at least there is still food to eat.

But the charcoal fire is almost used up. This year it was cold early, and the charcoal was used early. The charcoal purchased by Yun's for the mansion is high-quality charcoal, and the quantity purchased at one time is limited. Originally, another batch will be delivered in these two days .

   As a result, due to the heavy snowfall, the charcoal that was supposed to be delivered could not be delivered, and the charcoal in the mansion burned faster than expected.

  So early in the morning, the Yun family sent someone to inquire about the shops on the street to see if any shops were selling charcoal fire.

  However, even in the bustling Fucheng, there are almost no shops open at the moment, let alone shops selling charcoal fire.

   This made Yun very anxious. In such a cold day, if the charcoal fire were cut off, the house would be no different from an ice cellar.

  Wei Qingwan accompanied her to deal with affairs in Yun's house. Seeing that she was in such a hurry, there was no good way to do it, only a few words of comfort.

   Immediately afterwards, bad news came. The heavy snow crushed the houses of many residents. It is said that many bamboo hills in Taizhou Prefecture were also damaged, and a large area of ​​bamboo fell down.

   The specific casualties are currently unknown, but the situation should not be too optimistic.

  Affected by this, the government office is already in a state of desperation. It is temporarily unknown whether Wei Mingting will be implicated and affected.

   Yun suddenly had a headache: "It's really troublesome!"

  The matter of the Seventh Prince has not been resolved yet, and yet another snowstorm hits. This year is really difficult.

   "Mother, don't worry, when the snow melts, the charcoal fire can still be delivered." Wei Qingwan comforted.

   "En." Yun replied, but her worried mood didn't get any better, because charcoal was only a small aspect.

  ###

  Wei Ruo also learned about the snow disaster from his servants.

  She is going to go out to check the situation outside. Not necessarily what to do, but at least she has to see the situation outside with her own eyes.

  Before going out, Wei Ruo and Xiumei were fully armed.

  Especially the shoes, Wei Ruo and Xiumei put on the boots specially made for them by the nanny.

  Wei Ruo told the nanny how to make these boots. The outside is wrapped with a layer of cowhide, and the inside is filled with thick cotton, so that it can keep warm and waterproof.

  The soles are also patterned according to Wei Ruo's requirements to increase friction and prevent slipping.

  But Wei Ruo's own needlework is so bad that she has to use the nanny to do it.

  In order to look good, the nanny also wrapped a layer of embroidered fabric on the outside of the cowhide, so that when the skirt is covered, outsiders will not know what kind of shoes Wei Ruo and the others are wearing.

  In addition to the clothes he usually wears, Wei Ruo prepared a cloak for himself and Xiumei.

   "Miss, I don't want to wear this cloak. Only the young lady can wear a hood. It's shameful for a maid like me to wear such an expensive cloak."

   "I don't care what other maids wear. My Meimei wears the same cloak as me." Wei Ruo said.

   "I can't do it, miss. If someone sees you, you'll gossip." Xiumei muttered.

   "We don't meet anyone when we go out today. If you don't tell me when you walk on the road, no one will know who you are to me." Wei Ruo explained.

"But…"

   "No, but, it's so cold, this cloak is so warm to wear, the nanny took so much trouble to make it for us at that time, I can't live up to her heart."

  What Wei Ruo said made Xiumei unable to refuse: "That's fine."

  Xiumei put on the cloak that Wei Ruo handed her. Wei Ruo's was aqua blue, and Xiumei's was grass green.

  Wei Ruo and Xiumei saw Wei Jinyi and Xiaobei as soon as they listened to the gate of Songyuan.

  When Wei Ruo saw Wei Jinyi, he couldn't help but think of what happened the night before.

   Fortunately, it was my own brother. If it was another man, it would be embarrassing and embarrassing for what happened the night before yesterday. Maybe he would be charged with molesting a man.

   "Is the second brother going out too?" Wei Ruo asked.

   "Wait for me together." Wei Jin also said.

   "Second brother knows I'm going out?" Wei Ruo asked.

   "The damage to the houses and fields is unknown, and with Ruoer's personality, she probably wants to go out to see the situation." Wei Jin also said.

  Even if Wei Ruo knows that she can't do much, she won't hide in the house.

  Wei Ruo was a little surprised, but after being surprised, he was heart-warming. The second brother really knew what she was thinking.

  Wei Jin also went on to say: "The road is not open, and horse-drawn carriages are not feasible. You can only walk. To avoid danger, I will accompany you."

  Wei Ruoxiao: "Okay, I won't go too far, let's take a closer look. There is really nothing to do hiding in this mansion, and I don't know what's going on outside."

  Wei Ruo intends to go to the shop, but it is too far away from Zhuangzi, and it will be dark after walking back and forth.

  Wei Jin also came over and put the hat on Wei Ruo's cloak on Wei Ruo.

   "It's cold, don't freeze your ears." Wei Jin also said.

   Then Xiaobei handed Wei Ruo a hand stove: "Miss, it's cold, hold the hand stove to keep you warm."

  Xiumei muttered beside her: "Before I went out, I said I would prepare a hand stove for the miss, and the miss said she wouldn't need it. Now that the second young master has prepared one for the miss, you can't avoid it, right?"

  Wei Ruo replied angrily: "Meimei, aren't you useless yourself? Why are you talking about me?"

   "Miss, I am a martial arts practitioner. I am strong and strong. I am not afraid of the cold. If you don't believe me, if you touch my hand, is it warmer than yours?" Xiumei replied.

   "Forget it, I don't touch it, I admit defeat." Wei Ruo knows that her Meimei's hand is warm even if she doesn't touch it.

   Then Wei Ruo raised his head to look at Wei Jinyi, denying the thoughts in his mind in just a second.

  Let's not say that there is no son who goes out with a hand stove. With her second brother's skills, his hands may be hotter than her hand stove.

   "Let's go." Wei Ruo hurriedly urged.

  Wei Jin also smiled, and followed closely behind Wei Ruo.

  The street outside the gate of Xiaowei's Mansion belongs to the main road of Fucheng, so the road swept out is fairly wide, and it is not a problem for three or five people to walk side by side.

  After walking for a while, Wei Ruo and others saw many people surrounded by an alley, and it seemed that something happened.
