Chapter 320 (1/2)

Since the last time when the banquets made the ladies in the capital laugh, the imperial concubine of Jin suddenly became quite quiet.

Every day, Jiang Wan almost forgot that there was such a number of people in the house.

But since she didn't come to provoke herself, she didn't need to keep her in mind all the time.

What's more, there are Xiayi and Xiaoyue around her.

The two of them are civil and martial: one is in charge of affairs and the other is in charge of accounts. They arrange the affairs in the inner house in order. Except for some things that they can't make up their minds, they will come to her to show them to her. Usually, they don't bother her with those common things.

As a result, she lived happily.

It was the winter solstice in a flash.

Qintianjian sent the map of eliminating cold in September.

The eighty-one copper coins are divided into nine parts according to the pattern of nine palaces, and then each part is arranged in an array of three horizontally and three vertically

With nine copper coins, you only need to paint one copper coin every day. When all the copper coins on the paper are full, this winter will be over.

But when Jiang Wan looked at the stable grid above, he felt very angry.

For the first time, she asked Xia Yi to take out the four treasures of the study and spread them on the Kang table near the window. Then she drew plum blossom branches with great interest.

Xiayi naturally helps her to polish the ink quietly, while Molly sits on the edge of the Kang at the other end, doing needlework while pulling her neck to watch her painting, and occasionally exchanges a smile with Xiayi.

And at this time, a small servant girl ran in lightly, whispered a few words in Xia Yi's ear.

Xia Yi looked at the little servant girl and said in a low voice: ”you ask her to wait for me in the ear room for a while. I'll come here after I'm busy.”

Jiang Wanzheng is drooping her eyes. She is concentrating on the painting. She doesn't have to look up. She knows that there must be a steward's mother coming to see Xia Yi

Yes.

Thanks to her, otherwise these people have to bother themselves?

Jiang Wan dipped the brush in the inkstone, and then said to Xia Yi with a smile, ”if you have something to do, go ahead. My side is just a fun thing. Don't delay the official business.”

Xiayi also owed body to Jiang Wan, lowered his head out of the inner room.

But after a while, she turned back, and some of them didn't make up their mind and said, ”it's a steward mother in caimai. She said that in previous years, she had a lot to do with people in shuntianfu, so they sent the post of setting up porridge shed to her directly every year. Then my mother came to ask if we should send someone to Daxing or Wanping's farm to transport some grain because we haven't made any preparations this year. ”

Set up a porridge shed?

In the last life, when she was a princess, she was mentioned.

Every winter, as long as the snow falls a little bit, many victims from nearby areas will come to the capital to beg for food.

However, with more victims begging for food, there are hidden dangers to the safety of the city.

So they were all blocked out of the city gate.

But they can't just freeze and starve outside the city! Therefore, every year, the government will contact the rich families in the capital, and everyone will unite. Each family will help them to set up a porridge shed outside the city, and cook some porridge every day to give alms to them, so as not to make all these people starve to death at the gate of the city.

”Do we have porridge sheds every year?” Jiang Wan has some strange ideas. She always thought that Xiao Ruixuan really didn't listen to things outside the window as he showed in the capital these years.

”The old lady said that in previous years, she was responsible for cooking porridge, while the financial uncle was responsible for logistics supply, and the government would reserve the place of porridge shed for the Jin palace in advance.” Xia Yi and Jiang Wan said, ”the snow has been pouring down for more than half a month. I'm afraid many refugees have gathered outside the capital.”
