In the evening, after the third prince received the letter, he just nodded expressionlessly, and asked Butler Feng to prepare for the next day's appointment.

At the same time, on the same day, the eldest prince carried eighteen dowry gifts to the door of the Yang family.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhou Ying basically went to Zhuangzi to help every day.

It wasn't until a heavy snowfall half a foot thick that Zhou Ying stayed at home obediently.

But Gu Chengrui was forced to stay on Zhuangzi.

In the evening, Zhou Ying sent him some food and thick clothes and quilts through the space, and then went to the space to get busy.

First of all, I scanned each of the mother temples and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no snowstorm. Then I gave the half-worn quilts I collected from Qiao's house to the beggars in the north, and gave them some green onions and ginger to keep out the cold.

The next day, when I got up again, it was already daylight.

Seeing that everyone was sweeping snow in the courtyard, she was not idle, and took a wooden board to help.

Seeing this, Shi Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Madam, let's send someone to do these rough jobs, you should hurry into the house."

"No, I didn't grow up pampered, I haven't done any work.

Let's clear the snow to the side as soon as possible, so as to save the snow from melting and freezing everywhere the next morning. "Zhou Ying said.

Hearing what she said, Shi Zhu immediately thought of the scene where she followed the old farmers to the fields covered in mud on the Zhuangzi, so she said, "Then take it easy, don't get tired."

After I finished speaking, I got busy.

Because of the small number of people and the large area in the mansion, it was almost noon when it was cleared out.

Just after washing up and thinking about drinking a glass of water, Shi Zhu reported that Zhou Huaiming had come and brought a lot of things.

Dazed for a moment, he quickly got up and greeted him, "Brother Zhou, when did you return to Beijing?"

"I came back yesterday afternoon. I wanted to come directly, but it snowed, so it was delayed by one day.

By the way, in case your rations are not enough, your father-in-law asked me to bring over the food and dried vegetables you left at home, and I added some rice for you.

There were also some things that Chang Shun and the others had prepared, mainly a few live chickens and two frozen sheep. "

"It's really hard work, Brother Zhou, hurry up and invite him to the house." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she led him into the house.

At the same time, he said to Shi Zhu: "Shi Zhu, go to Manager Zhou and ask him to bring people into storage.

Tea on sunflower. "

The two responded one after another, turned around and hurried away.

Zhou Huaiming said: "I said younger sisters, you are not short of money, why didn't you buy a few more servants, only two maids are a little short."

"I'm not short of money, but I'm short of food. I can't let them come here and drink the northwest wind every day."

"That's right, these days, money is not considered rich, but food and meat are considered rich." Zhou Huaiming said: "By the way, when will Brother Gu come back, how about we have boiled mutton at night?"

"He is busy planting greenhouses on the village, and the road is slippery in snowy weather, so he may not be able to come back at night.

But if you want to eat, call Shang Rui Wang to come with me, and I will do the same for you.

Or prepare seasonings and meat slices for you, and you can take them to Ruiwang to eat. "

"Then how can it be done? Anyway, the meat is still frozen. Don't be afraid of spoilage. Let's talk about it when he comes back." Zhou Huaiming handed her a thick envelope and said, "This is a reply letter from my family."

Then he got up and said: "I won't sit down anymore, I'll wait for Brother Gu to come back, let me know, and I'll come over to eat you again."

"Okay, I will notify you when the time comes." Zhou Ying got up after putting away the letter and sent him out.
