After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she became a spirit and was punished, and

Time flies, and soon it's time.

Xiyu was ready and got on the carriage with Yinzhen to go to Princess Jingxian's mansion.

The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier. In a short while, a thick layer of snow accumulated on the roof of the car, leaving traces of the wheels rolling over the snow.

Before the carriage approached the princess's mansion, one could already hear the carriages passing outside all heading in the same direction.

Yun Ran was favored by Kangxi, and had grown up in the presence of the Empress Dowager. All the people in the court would surely rush to attend, and the ceremony must have been very lively.

"Uu——"

The driver tightened the reins and stopped the carriage in the backyard.

Xiyu got off the carriage awkwardly and went straight to Yun Ran's room, only having time to say a few words.

The Empress Dowager and Concubine De were both there, so she couldn't say too much.

But there is no need to rush, there will be plenty of time later.

There were many guests, and Xiyu and Yinzhen, Yunran's brother and sister-in-law, stayed until the last before leaving for home.

When they arrived at Yaoxing Court, it was already dark. Although they tried their best to keep warm, Xiyu still felt a little cold.

After wiping off her delicate lipstick, her lips looked pale, and the knuckles of her hands and feet were icy and stiff.

However, she did not tell Yinzhen about these and always kept them carefully hidden.

Chun Shi came in from the small door of the greenhouse, "Hot water is ready in the greenhouse, Fu Jin, please take a bath to warm yourself up."

"it is good."

Xiyu stood up and went straight to the greenhouse. Only when her body was completely immersed in the hot water did she feel alive for a moment.

"It's really hard—"

She raised her head and sighed, her eyes slightly closed.

In fact, Yinzhen had made thorough preparations for the day, but if she felt a little cold now, it would be extremely difficult for her to endure.

My hands and feet felt like radishes thrown outside in the winter.

Soaking in the bathtub, Xiyu completely emptied herself and fell asleep without knowing when. When she woke up in bed the next morning, Yinzhen had already gone to the Ministry of Revenue.

There are only a few days left before the New Year holiday. These days are always extra busy. In addition, this year's snowstorm has frozen many people to death, and all departments are extremely busy.

Xiyu basically couldn't see Yinzhen until bedtime.

Kangxi ordered that everyone, whether concubines in the harem or princes and ministers of the previous dynasty, should follow his example and cut down on expenses as much as possible.

The money saved was used for disaster relief, and even Yun Ran’s wedding yesterday was done to avoid luxury and complexity as much as possible.

Xiyu took out the quilt with her fingers and made sure that the temperature in the room would not make her uncomfortable. Then she got up and had breakfast with the two babies.

When she felt better, she remembered some things.

"I remember there was an empty house in the suburbs of Beijing. I started to store firewood and charcoal there a few years ago. Is it still there?"

"It's still there. The price of firewood and charcoal has not been high in the past few years, so we have been hoarding it. This year, the price is extremely high, and the supply cannot meet the demand. I am afraid that charcoal will be scarce in the future, and Fu Jin will not have enough, so I have not asked anyone to move it."

Dong Shuang is always particularly calm about these matters.

Xi Yu nodded slightly, "Gao Wuyong is smart, and he has kept a lot in the mansion this year. You can sell half of the ones in the mansion."

“Although we can’t supply charcoal to the whole city, we can still help many families have a good New Year. The money we earn will be sent directly to the Ministry of Revenue to embezzle shelters for the people.”

After that, she added, "Quietly."

"I know about it. I will send someone to do it right away."

Dong Shuang responded in a low voice.
