Chapter 168: Stay in the open air

The attitude of Director Hu and other people at the level of the director is completely different, so she can't change for a while, as for whether it is true or false, she no longer cares so much, maybe it is true or false, false and true is the psychological condition that the palace should have, so she said softly: "The maid thanked the lord first."

"Little Master Song is polite." Director Hu said with a smile: "But Song Xiaoshi is on top of his business, so he will bother him here, and he will leave." ”

"Master Hu is easy to go." Song Anle gestured with a shallow chin in the back, she was not sure whether Director Hu intended to reveal her relationship with Gao Yuanshang, but all the people who knew about this matter had tied her and Gao Yuanshang tightly together, which was undoubtedly the fact that she was most reluctant to show outside.

After the palace people in the dyeing workshop learned that Song Anle was Gao Yuanshang's, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe for him, so they didn't dare to say anything like the previous one.

Because there was no enough discarded vat, some of the dyes in the dye vat had to be used up overnight, Song Anle was the leader, she was not good at retreating first, so she arranged for some people with poor physical strength to go back to rest first, and she and Hongzhu Meixin continued to rush with two palace people.

In the middle of the night in the cold winter, the temperature is dripping into ice, but fortunately, it is necessary to consider that the dye will not be frozen, so it is necessary to supply coal, otherwise the people who rush to make it late at night will be frozen and dried.

Mei Xin saw that Song Anle was busy all the time, presumably in order to enhance the momentum of others, so she had to lead by example, and then she came over and said, "Little master, you can rest, let the slaves and maids catch up with the rest of these." ”

Although Song Anle was so weak that she couldn't support it, but in this cold temperature, she would rather keep her hands and feet warm up to her body than stay still, so she said quite lightly: "It's okay, there is not much dye left, finish it early, everyone can rest early, and only when you are busy, you won't feel cold." ”

Having said that, Mei Xin had already felt the warmth after exercise, but her tired and sinking body still needed someone to support her, so she said in a deep voice: "But now it's late at night, and the little master has to get up early tomorrow morning to report. ”

Song Anle said indifferently: "It's okay, let's just use up these dyes as soon as possible." ”

Mei Xin no longer insisted, so she just nodded forcefully, and at this time, a palace man who couldn't stand it said: "Either let's spend the rest of the dye, there will be nothing left anyway." ”

Song Anle could hear from the words of the palace people that she should really be unable to stand it, she and Mei Xin Hongzhu glanced at each other, and then said lightly: "It's okay, our cloth is almost dyed, you two go back to rest first, today is really hard, tomorrow you don't have to come early in the morning, your body is important." ”

"The slave and the maid thank the little master, and the slave and the maid will retire first." The two Xiaogong people hurriedly retreated happily, as if they were afraid that Song Anle would regret it temporarily.

Mei Xin was a little unsure of Song Anle's intentions, and giving up halfway didn't seem to be her style of doing things, so she asked with a little confusion: "Little master, do you really plan to discard the remaining dyes?" ”

"It's hard for them to work so far, let's let them go back to rest first, it's a big deal that we work harder." Song Anle knew that the palace people couldn't hold on, but still forced them to stay here, it would be too unkind, so she simply followed their proposal and let them go back with peace of mind.

Song Anle's intentions are almost the same as Mei's thoughts, always give the best to others, always think about others again and again, even if she is a passer-by in her life, she still puts herself last, maybe this is a person's innate kindness.

It has been nearly four watches, for the palace people, it is almost time to get up, Song Anle, Mei Xin, and Hongzhu have been busy until they get everything right, the dye is used up to flush the dye vat, the dyed cloth has to be dried, and after everything is done, they are already exhausted.

Hongzhu glanced at the sky, although it was still dark, but she seemed to be extremely proficient in celestial phenomena, and then she said in a blink of an eye: "Little master, shall we go back to rest?" ”

Song Anle also subconsciously glanced at the sky, although she couldn't tell the time from the sky, but from her consciousness, she could estimate the approximate time, besides, the middle dawn of the cold winter has always come a little late, and they live far away, not to mention the time it takes to go back and forth, and there is also inconvenience.

So Song Anle said lightly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to rest for long when I go back, why don't we just settle here, what do you think?" ”

Mei Xin said disapprovingly: "But the conditions here are limited, how can the little master accept this grievance." ”

In fact, Mei Xin was just complaining, how could she not know that the journey back would take a lot of time, and it was too late, so they probably went back to the room, not necessarily able to wash up and sleep, and they had to be called up to work.

"It's not a grievance, and besides, there is no charcoal fire in the house, so it's much warmer than here." Song Anle had already found that the temperature here was higher than that in the room, and instead of going all the way back, it was better to take a break here, at least without going back to warm the cold bed.

Mei Xin looked around, although the temperature here has the upper hand, but there is no thick bedding, it still can't be compared with the warm bedding, so she said again: "But we don't have a futon, we can't just be in the cold." ”

Song Anle also subconsciously looked around, in addition to the dye vat, it was cloth, and then there was a dark sky, with silent and silent everything, if you want to find something to protect you, it is estimated that it is impossible.

"It's easy to do." Hongzhu suddenly spoke inexplicably, causing Song Anle and Mei Xin to look at her in surprise but inexplicably, and then she smiled and said, "Have you forgotten what we are doing?" ”

Song Anle thought about it for a while, and also guessed Hongzhu's hint, just to be sure, she said meaningfully: "You mean to use dyed cloth to make bedding?" ”

Hongzhu smiled indifferently, "Anyway, there is a charcoal fire here, let's pull a few strips of cloth and cover it for a while, it's better than being frozen." ”

Mei Xin also suddenly realized, she said quite approvingly: "This is a good way, how about the little idea?" ”

Song Anle naturally raised her hands and praised, life was already difficult, and she was already very satisfied with the warmth of staying here, so she was also quite happy to say: "Then let's do it, without further ado, let's quickly clean up and strive to sleep for a few hours before dawn." ”

"Okay, the slave will go find some thick cloth." Mei Xin did not slack off and hurried to find the cloth, and the red bamboo found a place, the best shelter from the wind, and simply cleaned it, just using the cloth that Mei Xin found.

The three masters and servants also set up simple makeshift beds in the open air, although they were still cold, but because they were too tired, they quickly fell asleep.

Before they stepped into a warm dreamland, the dawn had already urged their footsteps, in a noisy sound, Song Anle rubbed her sour eyes, and woke up from the reluctant sleep, she turned her eyes to look at Mei Xin and Hongzhu beside her, but was surprised to find that Hongzhu was no longer there.

Song Anle immediately sobered up, and got up to look for it, the area of the dyeing room is not small, but there is no complex building, so you can see all directions at a glance, because she didn't see the figure of red bamboo, so she raised her voice and shouted "red bamboo red bamboo"

Still didn't respond, she didn't know, in exhaustion, where would Hongzhu go early in the morning, at this time Mei Xin was also in her shouting, woke up and got up, she was still a little confused and said: "Little master, what's wrong?" ”

"The red bamboo is gone." Song Anle looked at Mei Xin with a worried face, she was not worried that something would happen to her, but she was afraid that because they stayed here without permission, she would be punished by those principals, and Hongzhu was afraid that she would be one of the punishments.

Because the sky was just getting bright at this time, Mei Xin thought that it shouldn't be taken away after being discovered, so she said quite calmly: "Little master, don't worry, it must be convenient to go out, wait for the slave to find it." ”

Song Anle nodded, "Be careful." ”

Mei Xin patted her arm gently, and then left, but before she could walk out, Hongzhu came over with a steaming basin of water, Mei Xin said in surprise: "Hongzhu, where have you been?" ”

Mei Xin looked at the hot water in her hand with some disbelief, she knew how hard it was to have a cup of hot water in this cold morning, but she brought a large basin over.

"Of course, it's to prepare toiletries for the little master." Hongzhu didn't pay attention to Mei Xin's surprise at all, but was surprisingly cold, and returned to her usual style.

Mei Xin is also a subordinate, but not only did she not expect to prepare these for her master, but she also slept lifelessly, for a person like her who is strict with herself everywhere, she inevitably felt ashamed of herself, so she retreated alone with a low look.

Song Anle and Mei Xin have been together for many years, Mei Xin's little thoughts, of course she is clear at a glance, but Hongzhu has a heart, she is always bad without any expression, and to care about Mei Xin's emotions first, isn't it obvious that Hongzhu is biased.

So she said apologetically: "Hongzhu, why don't you sleep for a while, but you can prepare these for me, and then everyone will be able to work together." ”

"The little master is informal, the slave and the maid are very pleased, but you are the master, the slave and the maid have the responsibility to take care of your daily life, and the situation is the most basic task, if the slave and the maid are not aware of this, how can the slave and the maid stay with the little master." Hongzhu was busy with the temperature of the water, and at the same time told in a very indifferent and easy-going tone, she didn't mean to target Mei Xin, but her consciousness as a palace person was a little stronger than ordinary people.
