Chapter 131 Everyone Has Clothes

This year's winter in the Dayan Dynasty is very different from previous years.

In previous years, people had no thick clothes in winter and could only stay at home shivering in the cold winter, their hearts more desolate than ice.

As a result, the streets were basically empty except for the police officers.

But this winter, although colder than last year, the streets are very busy.

Many people gathered on the street in the severe cold, chatting enthusiastically about one person.

Who made them forget the cold and hunger? Even though they were wearing thin clothes, they gathered together to keep warm and chat?

The answer is Lin Qianqian.

She dared to go deep into the dangerous territory of Beizi Country! To save ordinary people! Lin Qianqian was the first person in the Great Yan Dynasty to treat ordinary people as human beings.

The people all stretched their necks and chatted excitedly, hoping to get news from General Lin as soon as possible.

"General Lin has the courage to brave the dangers of Beizi Country. Just based on this courage, he is better than many men."

"General Lin is as brave as any man."

"Do you think General Lin can really come back alive from Beizi Country?"

"Go away, what nonsense are you talking about? Our General Lin is blessed with good fortune and will surely return safely."

On the streets of Beiyue City, in addition to the people who were discussing Lin Qianqian's trip to Beizi Country to save people, there were also many small vendors.

Many shops were still open.

The Yinyue Shop was even selling cotton-padded clothes at low prices.

The purpose is to enable more people to afford winter clothes and survive the cold winter.

This Yin Yue shop was funded by Lin Qianqian.

To ordinary people, the practice of Yinyue Shop is simply too weird.

If you say that the things sold in this shop are cheap, that is not appropriate. The skin care creams sold in this shop are extremely expensive.

If you say that the things in that shop are expensive, that's not true. You should know that the cotton-padded clothes sold in that shop are only half of the market price.

In a dilapidated earthen house less than a mile away from the Yinyue Shop, Old Man Xu and his little grandson depend on each other for survival.

He looked at his grandson Goudan who was almost frozen to death, feeling heartbroken and helpless. He could only keep grabbing the straw that was used as the bed and covering his grandson with it.

But how much use can straw have?

Old man Xu watched his grandson's breathing become weaker and weaker.

The little guy's face was pale, and his voice was as weak as a mosquito. "Grandpa, I'm cold——"

This is the only grandson in three generations.

If possible, Old Man Xu would rather exchange his life for his grandson's life.

"Quilted jackets are on sale at a low price, come and have a look, don't miss it if you pass by——"

When Old Man Xu heard the sound of people selling cotton-padded clothes on the street, he hardened his heart, picked up the only valuable iron pot in his house and went out.

I hope the person selling the cotton-padded jacket will be kind enough to allow him to exchange the iron pot for a torn and thin cotton-padded jacket.

Old man Xu was carrying a broken iron pot, taking one step forward and one step back, getting closer and closer to the Yinyue shop.

When he saw the thick, new cotton coat up close, he was still frightened.

This cotton coat is so good, new and thick, and the style is also very nice.

How could such a good cotton-padded jacket be sold to the poor?

Moreover, I heard that the prices at Yin Yue shop are extremely high, with a small bottle of moisturizing cream costing several hundred taels.

How could he possibly agree to let him trade his broken iron pot for his cotton-padded clothes?

Old man Xu's hands, which were holding the iron pot, had long been stiff. He staggered and was about to leave, but was stopped by a little girl.

"My dear old man, you look so thinly dressed. Why don't we buy you a cotton-padded jacket on credit?" The voice was warm and sincere.

Old man Xu suspected that he was dreaming, and the iron pot in his hand fell to the snow with a clang.

He had lived for more than seventy years and had never heard of a shop selling cotton clothes on credit to poor people. He must have heard it wrong.

Old man Xu continued to walk back, but someone forced a new cotton jacket on him.

"Old man, this navy blue cotton jacket is just right for you."

Although Old Man Xu was shivering from the cold, he was reluctant to buy himself a cotton-padded jacket on credit.

His old bones are not worthy of new clothes.

The most urgent task is to get a cotton jacket for the grandson Goudan. If they can get one, the two of them will be willing to work like slaves for the Yinyue shop in the future.

Old man Xu knelt down at the door of the shop and said, "Good people, I don't want the cotton-padded jacket. If you really want to buy it on credit, just give one to my grandson. I will work hard to pay it back."

As a result, two cotton coats and a small bag of brown rice were stuffed into Old Man Xu's hands.

What a good person you are. My family ran out of food three days ago.

Old Man Xu thought that he should be asked to put his fingerprints on it.

But they didn't even ask him his name and just let him go.

After taking a few steps, Old Man Xu turned around and looked at the door plaque of the Yinyue Shop.

The sunlight shines on the silver door plaque, sparkling like the most beautiful scenery in the world.

The little girl who stuffed him with food stood outside the gate, with her hands on her hips, and said in a voice as crisp as an oriole, "My mistress said that she wants to make sure that everyone in Dayan Dynasty has clothes to wear and enough food to eat."

Everyone has clothes to wear and everyone has enough food to eat!

These are very simple words, but for a poor man like Old Man Xu, these simple words are the most touching words in the world.

Old man Xu was more than ten meters away and couldn't help but ask loudly, "Girl, who is your young lady?"

"My young lady is General Lin Qianqian."

It turned out to be General Lin! Could it be that General Lin is the savior sent by Guanyin to the mortal world? Old man Xu hugged the cotton jacket tightly, as if he was holding a priceless treasure.

When he got home, he immediately put cotton clothes on his grandson Goudan, muttering to him as he put them on, "Goudan, you must remember that General Lin is our great benefactor."

Old man Xu cooked some brown rice and gave Goudan a big bowl of it. Goudan's face finally showed some color.

Old man Xu knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the sky.

"Thank God, my dog ​​Dan finally survived. I will never forget General Lin's kindness."

Goudan touched the new cotton-padded jacket with joy, and he kept repeating what Old Man Xu said, "Grandpa, Goudan remembers that General Lin is Goudan's benefactor, and Goudan will repay him in the future."

Old man Xu was thinking about finding some work to do, hoping to pay back the money for his cotton-padded jacket.

He went to the crowded place inside the city gate. It was not easy to find work in winter, but Old Man Xu heard a lot of news about his benefactor, General Lin.

When the people talked about General Lin, they completely forgot to eat and sleep.

For many days in a row, the question most often asked by the people in Beiyue City when they met each other was: Is General Lin back?

This sentence has become a catchphrase for adults and children in Beiyue City.

Thousands of miles away in the capital, people here also care about Lin Qianqian.

During the daily morning court session, the emperor was completely uninterested in other court affairs except for the news that Lin Qianqian had entered the Beizi Kingdom.

He could accept Qin Chuan using a woman to exchange for peace, but he could not accept such a thing being spread out.

Now the Nanyue Kingdom and the Xixia Kingdom are spreading the word that the Emperor of Great Yan is greedy for life and afraid of death, and relies on giving away women to buy peace.

It's so embarrassing.

Lin Qianqian’s trip to Beizi Country to rescue people is of great importance this time.

If Lin Qianqian can really come back alive from Beizi Country, regardless of whether she can rescue the hostages, it will be a milestone event for Dayan, meaning that Beizi Country is not the extremely dangerous and inaccessible place as rumored.

This means that in the future not only can Beizi invade Dayan, but Dayan can also invade Beizi's territory.

I was thinking positively and praying in a good direction, but then I heard a discordant voice.

It’s Lin Qianqian’s father, Lin Qingyun.

This made Emperor Yan very angry.

Lin Qingyun is really something. He always brings up things that are not relevant to the topic. He even ruins all the good things.
