Chapter 256: Take the charcoal
In the night, a little maid gently knocked on the small corner door of Luomei Courtyard, not long after, the corner door "squeak", opened the small half, like fog from the shadow of half of the body, the little maid leaned over, whispered a few words to her in the ear, such as the fog nodded, and then the little maid quickly left here.

Ruwu closed the door again, walked into the house quickly, and whispered to Lin Bining, who was reading under the lamp: "Miss, the little maid of Changrong Hall said that the master asked the young master to serve the old lady, except for the slight twisting of his walking, the young master looks good, and he should not be punished much." ”
"Well, that's good. The old lady loves him the most, and even if she is angry now, she is reluctant to embarrass him. Lin Bining's hanging heart fell, and she rolled up the book in her hand and ordered, "Like a fog, Ming'er took out all the wound medicine in the courtyard and sent it to Linjiang Xuan to Qing Miao, so that she could put it on the young master when she cleaned up her salute." ”
She had heard Bai Yi say before that there was a habit of veterans bullying new recruits in the barracks, although with Lin Changru's skills, he should not suffer a loss, but he was still prepared.
"Yes, miss." Ruwu walked over and laid out the futon three or two times, "It's the second watch, Miss go to bed early." ”
"Hmm."
Lin Bi closed the book, and took off her coat by serving her like a mist, a small wind blew, she shivered unconsciously, and while lifting the quilt and lying in, she looked at the brazier in the corner, frowned and said, "Why is it not silver frost charcoal burning today?" ”
Ruwu tucked the quilt for her, put two soup women on the soles of her feet, and covered them with a layer of quilts, and kept warm through a layer of quilts, so that the charcoal fire in the soup women was extinguished, and Lin Bining would not feel cold.
While putting it in the tent, she replied: "Mother Xue, who is in charge of purchasing, is newly brought up, saying that the silver charcoal is not enough to buy, so we can only give it to the old lady, the lord and the lady first, let us use the firewood charcoal first, and replace it with silver frost charcoal in a few days." ”
The charcoal burned with a smell of charcoal smoke, Lin Bining tied up the scattered hair on both sides, wrinkled her nose, and commanded with her face outward: "Take a few pieces of orange incense and put them on the charcoal, and then open the window to ventilate and breathe to remove the smell." ”
Ruwu answered, first opened the window, then lifted the copper cover on the three-legged copper brazier, re-buried the cooked charcoal with a small charcoal ash shovel, took out the white porcelain incense box containing the orange fragrance from the shelf, put three incense pills on it, still covered it with the copper cover, blew the candle on the table, and went to sleep lightly.
Lin Bining didn't know how Lin Changru coaxed Mrs. Ning, or because the matter of going to the barracks was a foregone conclusion and could not be changed, the old lady was reluctant to waste time on getting angry, and when Lin Bining went to ask for peace the next day, the old lady's complexion looked very good, and Lin Changru was laughing with her on the side.
Although Mrs. Ning didn't have to serve Lin Changru anymore, he still lived in Changrong Hall to accompany the old lady in the days before he left the house.
When sending Lin Changru away, Mrs. Ning took his hand and cried and told him to take good care of his body, Lin Wenliang was still angry, and his eyes were red at this time, and he repeatedly told him.
Lin Changru has been away from the Lin family for three years, and has only been back for a few months, and now she is going to leave home again, if she gets married in a short time, she will always run to her mother's house to cause gossip, and it will become a little difficult for the brothers and sisters to meet again, Lin Bining was instantly stunned, and couldn't help but think of the happy time when her brothers and sisters laughed in her childhood.
The atmosphere was a little sad for a while, Lin Changru held Mrs. Ning's old and wrinkled hand, looked at his father and sister, and said with a smile: "I will go home once in the middle of every month, and you will be able to see me again in less than thirty days, don't be so sad, you have to be happy." I heard that there is a wild date forest next to the barracks, so I will bring you some winter dates back when I come back. ”
His words diluted a little sadness, Mrs. Ning put away her tears, and everyone had a smile on their faces, he waved his hand, took the burden and turned over on his horse, and rode away with the soldiers waiting on the side.
In the next few days, the days passed uneventfully, and Lin Bining didn't have any close friends in the boudoir, so he nested on the kang all day long to engrave the wooden hairpin that Bai Yi had promised before.
The kang is hot, the legs hidden under the thin quilt will not be cold at all, and the hands are a little cold when they are exposed for a long time, so they need to be put on the soup woman from time to time to warm up.
Engraved a small word "Lin" on the tail of the hairpin, Lin Bining raised the hairpin and looked at it, the wood was the cypress tumor given by Bai Yi before, smelling the rich cypress fragrance, she sighed softly, she hadn't been to the Chiba Pavilion for a few months, and she didn't know how the rose in the incense cellar was stored.
Although all the incense materials she bought during her travels were brought back to Luomeiyuan, the incense-making tools she had were not as complete as those in Chiba Pavilion, and there was no special incense-making room, so she hadn't made incense very well recently.
Lin Bining put down the wooden hairpin, picked up the soup woman, found that it was cold, opened the copper cover, and used the copper fire chopsticks to pluck a few o'clock, and found that the charcoal was burned, and said to the embroidered Ruwu who was sitting next to him: "Like fog, add some charcoal." ”
"Yes, miss." Ruwu took the soup woman and got up and went out, and soon came back, "Miss, there are only three pieces of silver frost charcoal left in the small pieces of silver frost charcoal that I picked out for Tian Tang Pozi before, Miss will use it first, and I will immediately go to Mother Xue to get the charcoal." ”
Lin Bining put the soup lady on the girdle table, and the copper fire chopsticks turned the charcoal to make it burn more vigorously, and nodded: "You go, it's been a few days, and Mother Xue's silver frost charcoal should also be bought, you bring two people and bring back all this month's meals." ”
"Yes, Miss."
The maids had thin arms and legs, and they couldn't move dozens of catties of charcoal, so they called out to the two powerful rough mothers-in-law in the courtyard to get charcoal.
Ruwu took people to Xue's mother, and when she met the jade of Linglong Pavilion halfway through the road, she took the charcoal back, and saw that the basket was silver frost charcoal, and finally she didn't need to burn charcoal anymore, the corners of Ruwu's mouth rose slightly, and she greeted the jadeite, and walked briskly over there.
After a short time, he arrived at the place, and Ruwu said to Mother Xue with a smile: "Mother Xue, Luomei Courtyard will receive fifty catties of silver frost charcoal." ”
"Ruwu girl, wait a minute, I'll ask someone to pretend for you." Mother Xue said with a smile.
After a while, someone came out with a basket of charcoal and put it on the ground, and found that the silver frost charcoal given by Xue's mother was small, and this charcoal burned quickly, and I was afraid that it would burn out in less than half of the night.
"Wait." Ruwu asked the two rough mothers-in-law not to move it first, picked up a piece of silver frost charcoal the size of a hawthorn, squinted his eyes and said, "Mother Xue, the silver frost charcoal that is commonly used in the past is the size of a fist, why is it so small this time?" ”
Mother Xue's eyes flickered, and then she haha: "Ruwu girl, this charcoal is always big and small, maybe it was a little smaller when it got the girl here, but the burn is all the same, which is not in the way." ”
