Gong fight?Niang Niang, she dominated the cold palace by farming

Chapter 262 Chapter 262 Self-reflection

The first snow fell this winter, and Song Qingzhai did not return to Xucheng.

Xu Ji sent someone early to help the Song family prepare the new year's goods, visited from time to time, and invited the Song family to visit the house, as if nothing happened.

The second snow fell, and Song Qingzhai hadn't come back yet.

Song's mother lost her composure, and quietly asked Xu Ji: "Princess, is there something serious? I heard that the prince stayed in Xucheng at this time last year."

"It's okay," Xu Ji comforted, "It's just that the peace talks have just been successful, and the defense needs to be readjusted.

"I don't know much about these things, and I don't often ask them, but since the elder brother said it's okay, it should be okay, and we should trust him."

Mother Song didn't ask any more questions, but she still reminded gently: "Princess, I don't know anything about reading, but I do a lot of things like urging my children and grandchildren to study and improve.

"Prepare paper and pens for them, and give gifts to the husband during the holidays, and I have never missed it.

"They know that I don't understand, and they won't ask me for advice, but they know that I attach great importance to their studies, and they also know that I, a blind old woman, can do this well, so they will work harder."

Xu Ji was thoughtful.

Waking up thirsty in the middle of the night, she suddenly realized.It turned out that Song's mother was reminding her!

Tell her that even if she doesn't understand the affairs of Song Qingzhai's army, she should not refuse to communicate with Song Qingzhai in this regard.

She doesn't know how to march and fight, but she knows how to grow food, so she can care about whether there is a shortage of military food and which kind of food the soldiers prefer.

She will also improve weapons, so she has to ask whether the weapons in the army are adequate, and what kind of weapons are needed by what kind of military...

Although the quartermaster would also worry about these things, the meaning of words of concern from her mouth is completely different from that of the quartermaster!

She reflected that Song Qingzhai wanted to talk to her about the military affairs several times before, but she was the one who directly stated that she was not interested.

Song Qingzhai is not like this.

He doesn't know how to farm, but he will pay attention to helping her collect seeds; he doesn't know how to build, but he will help her pay attention to those craftsmen who have wandered to the border; he doesn't know how to forge weapons, but he will recommend her to find highly skilled blacksmiths ...

His kindness to her was like spring rain, moistening things silently.

And even if it is something he is not interested in, he can devote himself to it.

Xu Ji had a fever on his face. In fact, when the two got along, he was the one who paid the least.

Song's mother was right, even if she didn't understand, even if she couldn't provide direct help, she could still make him feel her concern.

Now that you realize it, change it tomorrow.

Liuzhi, the maid who was on duty outside at night, got up to change the hot water for her. She was startled when she saw her sitting with her knees hugged, and asked in a low voice: "Princess, do you want to drink water? The water in the warm jacket should be cold already. The servants have come over with new hot water, please wait a moment."

Xu Ji waved his hand, listened carefully, and there was a slight rustling sound outside, so he asked: "Is it snowing?" The sky was a bit cloudy during the day.

Liu Zhi nodded, changed the cold water, poured a cup of hot water for Xu Ji, went to check the smoker again, found that the charcoal inside was a little cold, and proposed to change the charcoal before sending it back.

Seeing how thoughtful she was, Xu Ji couldn't help asking casually, "Liu Zhi, what would you do if you suddenly found out that the people around you who treat you very well actually have ulterior motives?"

Liu Zhi was taken aback. She knew that the search for spies in the city had not been relaxed recently, so she hurriedly expressed her loyalty: "Princess, this servant has been with Mother Wen since childhood..."
