Chapter 55: Rejuvenation

As soon as the year passes, it is the day of getting up early and feeling dark again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival was also rewarded, and I heard that the Shangyuan Festival lanterns in the palace were so lively, but unfortunately these have nothing to do with them. After the Shangyuan Festival, I felt that time had passed quickly, and the winter had passed, and the thick jacket I had worn had been replaced and pressed into the cage, and the carbon basin in the house had also been removed.

The old tree in front of the house also sprouted, sweeping away the previous gloom.

After the New Year, he was a year older, Zining was born in March, it stands to reason that ten years old is the whole year, and the birthday of the whole year is to be a big event, and he has to get the blessing of his elders and brothers and sisters, and then eat a bowl of longevity noodles with poached eggs. The poached egg is to beat two eggs together and fry them in the pot, the side of the egg is fried crispy, take a bite of the yellow, take a good color, and eat longevity noodles to really grow a year old. Now that he has entered the palace, it is impossible to have longevity noodles to eat, let alone a birthday banquet, Zining plans to find a livelihood, exchange it for some silver, save some money, and embroider a pair of shoes and a shirt for himself at that time.

Like Zining, she was originally slender and slender, although she was two years younger than Wen'er, she was as tall as her. The two clothes and pants issued by the palace last year were shortened, but fortunately, the clothes of the little palace maids were left with many curls, but they were afraid that they would draw fast, and they would be short in less than a year. Zi Ning planned to take advantage of the free time at night to change the sides of those clothes, and put some material on the cuffs, hems, and trouser leg tubes, otherwise it would be uncomfortable and inappropriate to wear short and tight clothes.

This night, Zining came back from Aunt Qiao's room, sorted out her clothes from under the bed, and brought a sewing basket, ready to change her clothes, and casually asked Wen'er, "Do you have any small clothes to change, bring them to change together?" ”

Wen'er still has today's sewing work on hand has not been done, spring is coming, there are more and more clothes to be changed, there is no leisure for a day, needlework in and out has not stopped at all": My clothes are just right, you said that you have grown so much in a few months, why don't I grow one, could it be that when I was a child, my mother deducted my food, and I ate poorly, so it was not long? ”

"What's the hurry, you still have two years to go, no one can say for sure, my second sister didn't grow at all when she was twelve or thirteen years old, but she was anxious about my mother, and she was rubbed in the next year, and now she is tall. There are still people who can grow up at the age of eighteen or nineteen, how old are you? ”

"That being said, it's so uncomfortable to be called a little girl all the time, yesterday there was a girl called my sister, I responded at the time, and then I learned that she was a year younger than me, and I was really angry with me, and I just suffered from this size."

"Others are deliberately taking advantage of you, and you are not so small when you look like this."

"You're burying me, I'm in a hurry, aren't you? Okay, Zining, I usually see you quietly, but I didn't expect to talk about people without a dirty word. Wen'er gave her a fake look of disgust as she spoke.

provoked Ning to laugh: "Then you have wronged me, I don't mean that, but just now I saw your expression, like those old women in the palace who are angry at every turn......"

Before Zining finished speaking, she was bullied by Wen'er and scratched her, itching her so much that she begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, let's stop making trouble, if we don't work anymore, we really won't have time." ”

It was only in this frolicking that Zi Ning felt that she still had a little bit of temperament for a little girl of this age, but she really hadn't laughed carefree for a long time.

"You're serious now, fortunately, I'm also a big-bellied person, this will spare you, if you dare to laugh at me next time, I won't stick to it."

"Yes, yes, Miss Wen'er."

The two looked at each other and smiled, they were getting more and more bitter and happy, it was really good to have each other.

Zining laid out the clothes again, carefully picked up the thin line on the seam of the cuffs with pointed scissors, put the material two fingers wide, and made a gesture on the body, drew a mark with a piece of powder, folded the curl edge flat, and then sewed the edge of the cloth with a needle and thread.

There are still about two finger wide curls left on the cuffs of this roll, if you wear it for a short time after a while, you can also put a back line, only the waist of this dress is not easy to change, but the girl who draws the strip generally does not become fat, and those meals plus the heavy work every day, it is estimated that she will not be fat, so she can wear a dress for two or three years.

"Wen'er, usually when you walk around the yard, do you see fragrant flowers and grasses such as angelica, lotus grass, and cloves?"

"What does this do? As soon as the weather is warm, the grass in our courtyard grows wildly, and it is estimated that in two days those eunuchs will ask us to go to the courtyard to pull weeds, all of which are weed seeds flying from outside, where are there any cloves and angelica, and there are some dogwood lemongrass. However, on the way to the bathhouse, I saw a few rhododendrons, which were fiery and blooming. ”

"Really? Where did you see it? "Although the smell of rhododendron is light, the fragrance is long-lasting, and there are not many raw materials here, so it is better than nothing.

"When you get out of the courtyard gate, go in the direction of the washing garden, and you can see it when you turn a corner. What are you asking, tell me? Isn't it that the little girl has grown up and loves to be stinky and beautiful, in this spring blossom, the master and the mother also allow us palace maids to wear a flower. Wen'er was so curious, although Zining was good-looking, she didn't spend much effort on her face, so she deliberately said this to tease her.

"Don't laugh, we work in the yard all day, and no one looks at us when we wear it. I'm just looking for some flowers and grass to make incense to earn some silver taels, I have read incense making books before, and I have also done some research, if you have raw materials, and then buy some simple utensils, you can also try. ”

"Really!" Wen'er became excited when she heard this, ": You still have such skills, you can paint, make incense and make tea, it's a pity that you are trapped in this Huanyi Bureau." ”

"So what, I used to be a young lady, but now I'm just a maid, what's the use of knowing this." Zi Ning sighed.

"How useless, you can make incense for silver! There are many palace maids in this Huanyi Bureau, which girl doesn't love beauty, but she doesn't get those rouge gouaches, if you really make incense, then don't go crazy. The eunuchs who run errands and carry things will raise the price of things for us, and draw oil and water from them, and if you sell spices, you will not be higher than that. Wen'er said that the head was the way, as if she saw the silver waving at her.

"You have a brain, I used to **** trapped in the boudoir, and now I am in the palace as a maid, and I don't understand this, I am only responsible for making incense, and you helped me sell it."

"That's good, what flowers and plants do you want, just tell me, I usually pay attention to walking around the yard, I really can't go out secretly at night to find ...... for you"

"Don't, it's dark and windy this night, how to find it, besides, you can't get out of this courtyard. I just want to try it first, and if I don't get into it, I don't want to take risks. ”

Wen'er stuck out her tongue and replied obediently, "I know." (To be continued.) )
