Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

"Sister Yan'er, did you remember it wrong? I'm far away in the capital, how can I be General Mo's benefactor?"

Mo Yan's expression was so enthusiastic that Jiang Yuzhu repeatedly confirmed that she had heard correctly. She turned to Shen Zhilan for confirmation.

Shen Zhilan nodded slowly and fell into memories.

In the previous life, my father-in-law Mo Changchuan was assassinated and his life was lost.

From then on, the Mo family went downhill, and finally everyone was buried in a sea of ​​fire.

Shen Zhilan knew the possible days and became cautious and always on guard.

She wanted to tell her husband Mo Qianyu everything, but every time the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them out.

Shen Zhilan had no choice but to work up her energy and think of something on her own.

I don’t know if it was influenced by her rebirth, but the assassin did not appear around the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Even so, Shen Zhilan did not dare to let down her guard.

"A few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, my father-in-law was assassinated in the military tent."

The person who assassinated him was the lieutenant general of the camp in the north of the city. He was bribed by the barbarian with his beauty and a lot of money.

Brothers for more than ten years, Mo Changchuan was not defensive, so he stabbed the dagger in the heart. He reacted quickly and stabbed slightly crookedly.

By coincidence, Shen Zhilan was going to the camp in the north of the city to visit her husband, Mo Qianyu, when she came across this scene.

"Cousin, if it weren't for the centuries-old ginseng you gave me to hang on to my father-in-law's life, I'm afraid..."

Shen Zhilan suddenly realized that the good life after rebirth was not because of her own abilities, but because of Jiang Yuzhu's help.

The Mo family has industry and wealth, but they lack good medicinal materials.

Mo Changchuan has been fighting all year round, and every time he received a reward, he generously gave medicine and medicine to his brothers who had been through life and death. This time, he was stabbed in the back by his brother, and he was unprepared in advance.

Mo Yan stepped forward and took Jiang Yuzhu's hand, saying gratefully: "Sister Yuzhu, you are the Mo family's benefactor and a noble person! If it weren't for your keenness before, my sister-in-law would have married Feng Qing, and the Mo family would have been guarded. Jing, this dog-skin plaster sticks..."

Being thanked by the two in turn, Jiang Yuzhu waved her hands casually and said: "Sisters, why are you so polite to me? By the way, how is Uncle Mo's injury?"

"I was in coma for more than ten days, and now I'm fine."

After Mo Changchuan got better, he stayed in the house all day without showing up, allowing rumors to fly everywhere.

Taking advantage of the chaos, it is easier to catch spies.

If he hadn't suffered a big loss, Mo Changchuan would never have thought that his brother who had a feud with Manzi would join Manzi's camp.

It was not until the past two days that the spy finally showed his fox tail and leaked Da Qi's secret passage.

"Sister Yuzhu, Brother Jiang..."

Mo Yan was about to speak but stopped, thinking about the words to use.

Jiang Yuzhu sighed secretly and replied: "I know everything."

Rather than being nervous and worried, Jiang Yuzhu decided to believe.

As Jiang Huaiqing's sister, she believed that her second brother had this ability, and he would be able to handle it with ease even among the barbarians.

Jiang Huaiqing naturally had his reasons for not choosing to come back immediately.

In the afternoon, the sky was dark and the north wind was raging.

Mo Yan took a look at the sky and said with certainty: "It looks like it's going to snow again tonight."

In the North, snow is common. If the snow is too heavy, you have to get up in the middle of the night to sweep snow from the roof.

"It's freezing cold outside, so I'm wearing a thick coat and a big cloak. If it's freezing cold, my chin will freeze to death if I go out."

In the Northland, supplies are scarce. Today, a nearby farmer's house happened to be killing a pig, and the General's Office purchased fresh large bones.

"Sauerkraut stewed with big bones, this is the highest standard dish in the North."

Mo Yan muttered, showing Jiang Yuzhu her clothes.

The cold and wind in the north can penetrate people completely. Even a woman who loves beauty will be wrapped tightly.

"Just in time, I have a gift for you."

Jiang Yuzhu motioned to Hong Li, and after a moment, Hong Li brought two gently wrapped packages.

Mo Yan took it, weighed it, and asked curiously: "Sister Yuzhu, what is this? Sheepskin coat?"

Sheepskin keeps you warm when worn inside, but it's not very breathable and can't handle the fishy smell.

Mo Yan didn't like it very much, but she gave in many times to keep warm.

"Open it and take a look. The size was estimated by me. If it doesn't fit, you can modify it."

Jiang Yuzhu put on her goose down jacket and went out first.

After Shen Zhilan and Mo Yan looked at each other, they quickly put on their clothes and followed them.

The goose down jacket was very soft and had almost no weight. After Mo Yan went out, she felt that her body was much lighter and she could jump and move freely. When she stood for a while, she was even more surprised.

"What's stuffed in it? It's not cold!"

Shen Zhilan was also very happy and walked around in circles.

Jiang Yuzhu said mysteriously: "It's some kind of hair."

"Is it the lint from the feather duster?"

Shen Zhilan took a sniff, and her clothes were filled with the elegant fragrance of orchids.

Jiang Yuzhu: "..."

"It's goose down. Goose down keeps you warm, but the workmanship is a little complicated."

Cleaning and drying goose down in winter, and then making it into fur-free leather clothing requires certain skills.

In addition to goose down, duck down also provides warmth.

The supply in the North exceeds the demand, so Jiang Yuzhu has sent people to the surrounding cities to purchase large quantities.

Years ago, it was made into ready-made clothes and distributed to the soldiers who defended their homes and country.

Keeping warm, being light and flexible on the battlefield is a huge advantage.

Shen Zhilan understood and asked, "Cousin, is Honghong still there?"

After Jiang Huaiqing arrived in Beidi, he came to Mo's house as a guest. When he saw an authentic famous dish, goose stewed in an iron pot, he was still talking about Honghong.

"Then my second brother didn't eat goose meat?"

Based on Jiang Yuzhu's understanding, this possibility is not high.

As expected, Shen Zhilan replied: "Not only did he eat half of the bowl, but he also gave the rest to Princess Yutan and took it to the camp in the north of the city."

A fire was lit in the stove, and the aroma of meat filled the courtyard.

Jiang Yuzhu sniffed and said, "They say Beidi's sauerkraut is authentic, and it does taste like this."

"The big bones need to be stewed for more than half an hour. Why don't we roast sweet potatoes and potatoes?"

Shen Zhilan asked Xia'er to go back to her hometown and get the food that the people in the north usually eat in winter.

Roasted sweet potatoes, soft and sweet, roasted potatoes, homemade spicy sauce, and sprinkled with green green onions grown in the greenhouse. Roasted corn is even simpler and delicious without adding anything.

It is said that it is bitter and cold in the north, and Shen Zhilan has long learned to enjoy the hardships.

At sunset, before the sauerkraut-stewed bones were served, a rapid ringing of bells sounded on the street outside the house.

Afterwards, the people closed their doors and those who were walking around trotted home.

It gets dark early in the north, and before the end of Shenshi time, it is already so dark that you can't even see your fingers.

Seeing this, Shen Zhilan's face became more solemn. She stood up and said apologetically: "Cousin, I can't stay with you for dinner. I have to go out of the city."

The ringing of the bell means that the war is urgent. Outside the city, Daqi soldiers are fighting fiercely with the barbarians.

Shen Zhilan learned how to deal with trauma from Wei Jing's former maid Mo Yun. She was short of manpower and had to rush over to help.

"Cousin, I'm going too."

Jiang Yuzhu sent her maid to inform Shaoyao and others that what they had learned needed to be put into practice on the battlefield.
