Chapter 567
After entering the house, Mr. Cui said that he would go to the palace tomorrow morning to consult the emperor about sweeping snow in the capital and sending people from the yamen to watch out for the cold and warmth of each household.
"Lan'er stays, everyone else goes to rest. It's nothing big. Don't worry if you don't have enough food. There are still some in our village, and every household will be involved soon, so there's no hurry."
Charity like winter lishe porridge is generally a regular program for nobles and officials. No matter who they do, they will do some regularly.
It's snowing heavily now, as long as the emperor shows concern or other actions, each household will follow the trend immediately without reminding him, and he will do it more carefully than in previous years.
"yes."
Mrs. Jiang led her son and daughter-in-law backed down.
Old Master Cui stared at Zi Lan and didn't say anything, and looked unhappy with his face.
Zi Lan lowered her head and apologized sincerely, "Grandfather, I was wrong. I was so stupid that I was not rude for a while."
"If you don't take the example, don't say this when you go out in the future. If you ask someone to find out, it will be troublesome."
"I remember, but there is indeed a lot of food in the imperial village. I do the porridge every year. The managers will leave me some food, and they will not use it all for winemaking. There must be some preparations."
The managers are all used to Zi Lan's behavior, so it's easy to guess. If you want to please her, you can definitely predict this.
"Well, I'll ask Cui Hao to get the food tomorrow. I don't know how long this heavy snow will take. Our family will have to do more time, and it may be March and April of the next year."
"Okay, if you don't have enough, go to another place to adjust it."
"Well, Brother Hao mentioned the medicinal materials you mentioned to me. You can't count on you alone, that won't work. I asked someone to buy it in the mountains. It snowed again. I guess it's going to be the next year."
"I'll prepare less and prepare it first. Medicinal materials can definitely be used. If it doesn't work, I can send them to my grandfather's place in the northwest. There is no use for cotton."
"Well, don't be too tired. It's a little early this time. You don't need to prepare too much food. You are all counting on you to be exhausted alone. You can't do that again. Everything must be done."
"Yes, I get it."
Zilan understood that the examples of the Song family could not be copied because the Song family made a lot of money by making Xianglou, so they needed to spend money. However, the Cui family did not have this concern and did not make so much money.
Therefore, the Cui family can no longer use the act of losing money to do charity to highlight their children. This is not feasible, and the elders need to make repeated plans and stop at the right time.
"You have a sharp and long-term vision and are decisive and clever in dealing with things. I don't worry about anything else, but don't take too much into yourself. You should know that people's hearts are raised, even the Cui family is the same.
What you earn from yourself and what others give you will feel different. You should pay special attention to this in the future.
If there is a war in Tibet this time, let the entire Cui family be involved, instead of working hard alone, those who don’t know will not remember your hard work.”
Old Master Cui disagreed with the fact that everyone in the clan used Zilan's own hard work to exchange for credit, which is wrong.
We have to seize opportunities, but there are many ways. He is more willing to let all the children of the Cui family taste the hardships and create opportunities for themselves and the Cui family's future. This is the right way.
Zilan lowered his head and thought for a moment, nodded in conscience, "I remember, then I will prepare less. It's better to ask someone to buy medicinal materials, and you should also buy some cotton."
"Yes, yes."
Only then did Mr. Cui smile happily.
When he returned to his yard, Zilan sat there and thought carefully, and admitted that what the old man said was right. After all, the things in the space could not stand the scrutiny and could not do this forever.
Since this is the case, she would do less, worried that if she couldn't buy so many medicinal materials, she wouldn't do so much else. More than 80% of them would go to various channels outside to buy them.
After setting the policy, I felt relieved and seemed to be more at ease than before.
Cui Hao came back a little late today, maybe it was snowing and there were a lot of things outside.
Zi Lan was not very relieved and kept wandering at the door of the house.
"Agarwood, can you make the hot soup boil? Don't remove the heat and warm the food. Let's make some ginger soup prepare.
I guess I can use it and boil it more. After going out with my predecessors for a day, I have to drink a bowl to get rid of the cold."
"Grandma, go back to the house. The door is in the wind. Sister Muxiang has already made arrangements. There are also large buckets of ginger soup for the porridge outside, which everyone can drink. Don't worry about these things, don't catch a cold."
Chenxiang persuaded him to take the people into the house.
"I don't know if there is something outside that has been stuck, and I don't know if I have eaten it or not."
It was getting dark and I didn't come back. Zilan was very worried but could only wait patiently.
Cui Hao has never come back. She is hungry and can only eat a little by herself. The children in her stomach cannot withstand hunger even if they don’t eat.
As soon as I finished eating, I heard a sound in the yard, "Second Master is back, please go to the kitchen to get something for food. Ginger soup and hot soup are also delivered to the subordinates, and I will tell the old master that Second Master is back."
A series of commands were assigned.
Zilan stood at the door of the house to greet Cui Hao and raised a big smile at him.
"I'm back, is it cold outside? Are you hungry? Let's drink the soup first to warm up your body.
Yunxiang, don’t forget to take care of Mo Ding and his guards. Ginger soup should be delivered hot, prepare food, and boil a pot of hot wine."
"I got it, I'll send you there."
"Why are you standing here? Don't blow on you when there is wind. Have you eaten? I've delayed it for a while if something happened in the department today."
Cui Hao rubbed his hands when he entered the door and then helped Zi Lan walk into the house.
"I just had a while and it was going well outside? Is it snowing too much and there is something wrong with it?"
"Well, one thing is that it's been a day since the snow has crushed the houses of some farmers in the suburbs. There is not enough staff in the yamen. Let's go with the Bingmasi to check it out. I took the opportunity to check it out our desert porridge stall.
I was afraid that it would be cold at night, so I sent some quilts over. I would be late to come back, so I'm anxious."
When I saw her, I knew that I must have been waiting for me. I was very anxious and didn’t ask too much about things outside, and I was afraid that asking too much would make me more upset.
"I'm just wandering around the house without anything. My grandfather is back and told me today that I won't let so many medicinal materials be prepared, and I should stop at the right time. I wonder if I buy them from outside, and if I can get them?"
"It's best, that's the best."
"The money is ready for you. If you want to use it, just take it away. But I can only do it in the spring."
"No, this is not in a hurry. It's heavy snow that has collapsed the house. If the snow continues, there will be more victims."
"Oh, my imperial village still has some food, and I have some of it. What do you think is better to deal with it?"
"All the next one is not responsible for the trouble, so you can just hold on until the beginning of spring. Someone from above will come to do this soon."
