The Blessed Princess
Chapter 202 After a heavy snowfall
, the servants of the Colonel House had climbed up to the roof several times to sweep the snow off the roof, afraid that the heavy snow would destroy the roof, and also fear the great snow that froze. it suddenly fell down and hit a passerby.
Some of the main houses are better, with charcoal fires lit all the time, the roof temperature is higher, and snow accumulation is relatively less.The snow accumulation on the roof of another room is thick, and it is very dangerous if not treated in time.
The snow in the courtyard could not be cleared, and the servants only swept a narrow path for people to pass through on the only path.
On the main road outside, there were also people sweeping the snow nearby, and opening the path, and the uninhabited alleys were covered in snow.
In Cangyun Park, the Yun family was in a state of despair, the thick snow was blocking everything, and many items were hard to buy.
The food in the mansion was not enough, there was at least something that could be eaten without fresh vegetables.
But the charcoal fire is almost gone. This year it cools early, and charcoal is used early. The charcoal purchased by Yun for the mansion was high quality charcoal, and the amount purchased at one time was limited. Originally, the other batches would be delivered within these two days.
As a result, due to heavy snowfall, the charcoal that was supposed to be delivered could not be delivered, and the charcoal in the mansion burned out faster than expected.
Early in the morning, the Yun family sent someone to inquire about the shops on the street to see if there were any shops selling charcoal fires.
However, even in bustling Fucheng, there were hardly any shops open at the moment, let alone stores selling charcoal fires.
This made Yun very anxious, on such a cold day, if the charcoal fire was turned off, the house was no different from an ice warehouse.
Wei Qingwan accompanied him to handle the affairs in Yun's house, seeing that he was in a hurry, there was no good way to do so, just a few words of comfort.
Soon after, bad news came. Heavy snow destroyed many homes. It is said that many bamboo hills in Taizhou Prefecture were also damaged, and most of the bamboo fell.
The specific casualties are currently unknown, but the situation should not be overly optimistic.
Influenced by this, the government office was already in a state of despair, and it was temporarily unknown whether Wei Mingting would be involved and affected.
Yun suddenly had a headache: “Truly troublesome!”
The issue of the Seventh Prince has yet to be resolved, and there is another blizzard, this year is very difficult.
"Mother, don't worry, when the snow melts, the charcoal fire can still be delivered." Wei Qingwan was amused.
"En." Yun replied, but his worried mood did not improve, as charcoal was only a small aspect.

Wei Ruo also found out about the snow disaster from his servants.
He'll be out to check on the situation outside. Not necessarily what to do, but at least he had to look at the situation outside with his own eyes.
Before leaving, Wei Ruo and Xiumei were heavily armed.
Especially shoes, Wei Ruo and Xiumei wore boots made especially for them by the nanny.
Wei Ruo told the nanny how to make these boots, the outside was wrapped in a layer of cowhide, and the inside was filled with thick cotton, to keep them warm and waterproof.
The soles are also patterned according to Wei Ruo requirements to increase friction and prevent slipping.
But sewing Wei Ruo himself was too bad, so the nanny had to do it.
In order to look good, the nanny also wrapped a layer of embroidered cloth on the outside of the cowhide, so that when her skirt was closed, outsiders would not know what kind of shoes Wei Ruo and the others were wearing.
In addition to the clothes he used to wear, Wei Ruo prepared a robe for himself and Xiumei. "Miss, I don't want to wear this robe. Just a young woman
who can wear headgear. Shameless if a servant like me wears an expensive robe. " "No way, miss, if someone sees you, you will gossip" Xiumei muttered.
"Today we didn't meet anyone when we left. If you don't tell me while you walk down the street, no one will know who you are to me" Wei Ruo explained.
"No but, it's so cold, this robe is so warm to wear, the nanny took the trouble to make it for us, I can't let her down." Wei Ruo's words made Xiumei not
can refuse. "All right then."
Xiumei was wearing the robe that Wei Ruo had given her. Wei Ruo was aqua blue, and Xiumei's robe was grass green.
Wei Ruo and Xiumei looked at Wei Jinyi and Xiaobei as soon as they listened to Songyuan's door.
Looking at Wei Jinyi, Wei Ruo inevitably thought about what happened last night.
Fortunately, it was my brother. If it was another man, it would be a shame if he showed up last night, and he might even be accused of molesting a man.
"Is the second brother also dating?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Wait for me to come together." Wei Jin also said.
"Second brother knows I'm coming out?" Wei Ruo asked.
"It is not known what happened to the house and the farm. With Ruo'er's personality, he might want to come out to see the situation," Wei Jin said as well.
Although Wei Ruo knew that he could not do much, he would not hide inside the house.
Wei Ruo was a little surprised, but after being shocked, he warmed his heart, the second brother actually knew what he was thinking.
Wei Jin also went on to say: "The road is not open, and the horse carriage is not decent. You can only walk. To avoid danger, I will accompany you. "Wei Ruoxiao:" Okay, I won't
go far, let's take a closer look, I really have nothing to do hiding in this house, and I don't know what's going on outside."
Wei Ruo planned to go to the store, but Zhuangzi said it was too far away, and it was dark after walking back and forth.
Wei Jin also came and placed the hat on Wei Ruo's robe on Wei Ruo.
"Cold, don't freeze your ears" Wei Jin said as well.
Then Xiaobei handed the hand stove to Wei Ruo: "Miss, cold, hold the hand stove, this is a little warmer." Xiumei
muttering beside him: "Before I come out, I said I will prepare a hand stove for the woman, and the woman said that she does not need it, now that the second young master has prepared miss, the second young master has prepared, you can't hide, can you?"
Wei Ruo replied angrily, "Meimei, aren't you useless? Why are you talking about me? "
"Miss, I'm a martial arts practitioner. Strong and strong, not afraid of the cold, if you do not trust me, if you touch my hand, it is warmer than your hand," Xiumei replied.
“Forget it, I didn't touch it, I admitted defeat.” Wei Ruo knew that Meimei's hand was warm even though he didn't touch it.
Then Wei Ruo raised his head and looked at Wei Jinyi, denying the thoughts in his mind in just a second.
Not to mention that there was no boy holding a hand stove when he came out, with his second brother's skill, his hands were probably hotter than his hand stove.
"Let's go." Wei Ruo hurriedly urged.
Wei Jin also smiled, and followed behind Wei Ruo.
The road outside the gate of the Xiaowei House belonged to the main street of Fucheng, so the road traversed was quite wide, and it was fine for three or five people to walk side by side.
After walking for a while, Wei Ruo and the others saw many people surrounded by an alley, and it seemed like something had happened.
