Chapter 281 Tang Rong’s uncle is here
It is a taboo to underestimate the enemy, even if there is a disparity in strength, use all your strength.
Tang Mo didn't show any confidence and nodded in agreement.
After he left Xin'an and continued to lie down, he reluctantly opened his eyes after sleeping for a while. Why did the bed get colder and colder as he slept?
It was frosty today, and when Chunyang Chunlu came in to serve, the cold wind followed them through the door. Xin An shivered, "Is it time to make charcoal?"
As soon as these words came out, Nanfeng came, saying that he had just come from the front yard to spread the news that charcoal basins would be used everywhere starting today, "Let us send people to get charcoal. Our yard will be allocated twenty kilograms of red charcoal every day." "Twenty pounds of black charcoal, one every five days."
Chunlu calculated, "This little charcoal fire is definitely not enough. The price of charcoal fires keeps changing every day as the weather gets cold. Fortunately, Manager Wang has prepared a lot of charcoal fires early. Otherwise, I would have sent a message today to ask Manager Wang to deliver the charcoal fires." Come?"
Xin'an nodded, "Send one thousand kilograms over first. The room where the charcoal is stored must be tidied up to prevent the charcoal from returning to moisture."
The Hou Mansion rations the food for each courtyard. Twenty kilograms of food is not enough to burn during the day and night. If you don't want to spend money to buy charcoal, you have to carry it until the evening to make charcoal. Otherwise, it will snow heavily and freeze at night and you will not be able to sleep.
Xin An was not prepared to wrong himself. He had to keep burning for twelve hours. Even if he went out, he could not cut off the charcoal fire in the house. Otherwise, it would be very cold and uncomfortable in the house.
"The smell of charcoal is strong. It makes you dizzy when you don't open the window when burning it. Open the window and let in the draft. Every house in the yard uses the same charcoal as me at night. It's only five pounds a day. My aunt's house has no limit."
I'm living so well, so there's no reason for my servants to suffer. The servants in the yard are all women, and women aren't warm in winter.
Nanfeng's eyebrows arched as he heard this. He was different from the rich mistress, and he started to enjoy it.
The charcoal distributed in Fuzhong can be used during the day, and the good, tasteless charcoal can be added before going to bed at night to have a warm and comfortable sleep. Is there anything more enjoyable than this?
It was such a simple thing that all the maids and ladies in the yard beamed with joy and thanked her profusely.
After breakfast, Nanfeng sent another message, "Mrs. Wang sent someone to send a message, saying that the Wang Mansion will send messages to each family today and start receiving charcoal."
"The New Year's gift you asked her to buy is ready. Do you want to go take a look?"
Mrs. Wang bought charcoal long in advance, and with the help of Nanfeng and Liu Chang, she bought a large amount of tens of thousands of kilograms of charcoal. She originally wanted to distribute it early, but she was afraid that those people would not preserve it well or resell it for money, so she simply waited until after the frost. Let them take it again.
Xin'an thought that she didn't have much time, "Just tell her that it's hard for her and I'll go take a look after I've been busy for a few days."
Aunt Cuiping came in and said that today's visit to the Xu family was ready. "Young madam, let's see if there are any items that need to be added or removed."
Aunt Wang returned to Xinzhai, and the matters in the courtyard were temporarily handed over to Cuiping. Under the extremely high welfare benefits, Cuiping did not dare to neglect at all. The prayers prepared were very generous, and even General Xu's grandson was not left behind. An inkstone was prepared.
"My aunt has arranged everything carefully. That's all. I have to ask my aunt to go with me in the afternoon."
"yes."
There was something Xin An couldn't decide on, "Auntie thinks I should pay a visit to the second prince's house. I haven't visited the second prince since she was pregnant."
Cuiping said: "I have been to General Xu's residence today. You can ask the young lady to see what Mrs. Xu means."
"Um."
Xin An looked at her and said, "Auntie, help me think of two more gifts to send to the Second Prince's Mansion. If there are none in the warehouse, you can buy them. You don't have to worry about the price, as long as the gifts can be delivered to the heart of the Second Prince's Concubine."
"yes."
After the matters in the courtyard were settled, Xin An got up and went to the front yard. Unexpectedly, Tao Yiran and her two 'sisters' were also there. Tao Yiran, who didn't want to stay in Chunhua Courtyard, took the initiative to pay respects to Mrs. Wang. She brought her two aunts because Xueyu was about to give birth, and as the mistress, she had to make arrangements for Xueyu.
When Xin'an arrived, she had just discussed the matter of hiring a midwife, and was discussing where to raise the child after birth. "The daughter-in-law thought that it was her husband's first child, and Aunt Yu followed her husband early," she said. Naturally, the relationship is different. How about letting Aunt Yu raise this child herself? What does mother think? "
Mrs. Wang felt that she just didn't want to stay in Chunhua Courtyard and came to talk to her deliberately, "You and your wife can just discuss this matter. They are all children in the mansion. As long as they are raised well, it will be the same wherever they are raised."
"That's what mother said."
Tao Yiran didn't want to leave. She would rather sit here than go back to Chunhua Courtyard. She always felt that the smell wouldn't go away, and she didn't sleep well last night.
"Brothers and sisters are here."
Xin An nodded, "Sister-in-law doesn't look very good, but she didn't rest well last night?"
Tao Yiran touched her slightly pregnant belly and said, "My belly is heavy and it's hard to sleep."
"Sister-in-law, this is not okay."
Xin'an sat down opposite her, "It's hard to sleep at this time. What will I do in Aunt Yu's month?"
"By the way, how is big brother?"

Tao Yiran didn't want to mention Tang Rong at all now. She just stood in front of Tang Rong's bed this morning, said a few words and turned around, mainly because the smell in the room was too unpleasant.
"It's much better. The doctor said you can try to get out of bed and walk around. After all, you have injured a bone, so you have to take your time."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the concierge running over quickly, saying that the Wei family was at the door, "He said he was here to visit the crown prince."
Wang didn't remember who the Wei family was for a while, and when she remembered it, her good mood was gone. She looked at Tao Yiran, "Have you received the news that the Wei family is coming?"
Tao Yiran shook her head, "I never heard my husband mention it."
She had no idea there was such a relative.
Mrs. Wang stood up slowly, "The Wei family is your husband's uncle's family and your mother-in-law's natal family. You come with me to welcome me."
Xin An didn't want to welcome anyone from the Wei family, especially the Wei family's aunt Zhang, who was particularly annoying.
It can be said that I have never seen such a shameless person. It has been many years since Tang Rong's biological mother died. The Wei family still thinks that the Marquis Mansion is the only one in the Wei family. The mother-in-law of the Zhang family in her previous life even placed money in front of her, saying What's "Your biological mother-in-law passed away early, and no one taught you some rules. As an aunt, I must remind you a few things."
He didn't even follow the rules but still had to give her instructions. He acted like a talker all day long and his eyelids were shallow.
At that time, I wanted to give her two slaps, and I had to endure it until I turned into a green turtle.
Now that I think about it, I’m such a **** loser, I even look down on myself, bah!
"Mother, I haven't paid my respects to my grandmother yet."
"Then go ahead."
Mrs. Wang was very tolerant to her and knew that Mrs. Zhang was difficult to get along with, but she didn't want her daughter-in-law to suffer.
As for Tao Yiran, can she still be allowed to run away?
It was her turn to receive the relatives of the Wei family.
