The eyes of the old lady and the grandmother Chen fell, and their eyes were empty.

"Two grandmothers, everything that can be repaired in the house where my master and I are located has been repaired, and the roof tiles are not all leaking.

These days, every five days, my father-in-law comes with food and clothes, I wonder if they can ask them to repair the roof tiles for us? ”

Qinglan's voice fell, and the two grandmothers looked at her, and then the old grandmother's eyelids drooped and continued to close her eyes to recuperate.

Mama Chen looked at it, her eyes on Qinglan.

Qinglan paused for a moment and said, "Mama Chen, don't worry, she won't let those fathers-in-law go in vain."

When the time comes, you allow us to come and talk to him, and the other blues will negotiate with them. ”

Chen Momo's voice was hoarse, "What do you have?" ”

Qinglan felt the hem of her clothes tugging slightly, and glanced back at Zheng Ruoyi, the two of them had to make eye contact in a hurry, and Mama Chen said again:

"Last time, did you still have any candy?"

Qinglan looked back at her, a little stunned, and then nodded.

It was a package sent by a well-wisher not long after entering the cold palace, and there was a small packet of crisp candy in it.

They hadn't eaten around here, but when they thought about it, they were tired from looking around for thick planks, and the master stuffed it into her mouth, probably at that time.

At this time, Mama Chen stood up, patted her pants, and walked forward.

Qinglan and Zheng Luoyi were both stunned, watching each other rush straight to their house, looking at each other and quickly following each other.

Then I saw that the other party had brought the ladder from nowhere, and then disappeared for a while, and a basket of neat roof tiles was placed, which was neither new nor old, and climbed up to the roof like that.

Qinglan and Zheng Ruoyi wanted to say something, but they looked at the old man who was not young.

Qinglan wanted to step forward, but Zheng Ruoyi grabbed her arm tightly.

Originally, Qinglan wanted to repair it by herself, but Zheng Ruoyi resolutely refused to let her go up.

At this time, the two of them were looking anxiously below.

After a long time, Mama Chen came down with the empty basket, and her dark hand stretched straight to Qinglan.

Zheng Ruoyi tried to ask, "Does Mama want sugar?" ”

The two of them noticed that the other party's black hole's eyes lit up with a little light, and then she nodded heavily.

Zheng Ruoyi let go of Qinglan's hand and walked towards the house, and came out after a while, holding four pieces of candy in her hand.

Before she could stand firmly, the other party's thin hand grabbed it, and Zheng Ruoyi exclaimed, Qinglan's expression changed slightly and she was about to block the other party.

But it was the four pieces of candy that were taken away by the other party.

Then I saw that the other party cherished and licked it, so she took out a small square handkerchief and wrapped it up, stuffed it into the placket, and she walked and touched it.

After a while, Qinglan and Zheng Ruoyi, who were standing in place, came back to their senses, and their hearts were a little chilly.

Mama Chen's swarthy face was still numb just now, but her dark eyes were full of satisfaction, just like a child eating his favorite candy.

After looking at each other from a distance for many days, they naturally knew that there was nothing wrong with the other party's brain, but they just stayed in this cold palace, with nothing, repeating their dead and silent life day after day.

The appearance of candy on one day not only brings sweetness, but also seems to be the same day as if the day is not the same.

"In this way, I originally thought that I would use silver to ask the palace people who knew these things to help, but I didn't expect that three pieces of candy would be fine.

You don't have to show the silver to be seen by others... That's a good thing! ”

Zheng Ruoyi tightly grabbed Qinglan's sleeve and said with a dry smile.

Qinglan nodded with a blank expression, and also squeezed out a smile on her slightly sallow face.

With this deal, it was much easier to ask for some help or ask about something.

She and the old woman looked at the dying wood, with a rotten smell on their bodies, but they were unexpectedly quite talkative.

Of course, it could also be that they are paid.

The house was built on all sides and the roof, and then the house was cleaned inside and out, and some useless things should be thrown away, and several buckets of water were used.

The two of them learned to use a combination of wooden planks and dilapidated tables to make tables and chairs that were a little uneven, but did not affect the use, and they were placed in the outhouse.

There is an earthen kang in the inner room, and after tidying up, the two of them are disgraced, and the earthen kang can be used again.

This time it's not a psychological effect, but it's really full of warmth.

Qinglan asked Mama Chen to help make a deal with the eunuch who would come to send things on the fifth day, exchange some cotton and coarse cloth, and said that she would be rewarded with silver.

But the other party only needs sugar, but fortunately, since he knew that the other party loved sugar very much, no matter how tired he was, Qinglan no longer accepted the sugar handed by Zheng Ruoyi.

Then Zheng Ruoyi didn't eat either.

Almost all of the crisp candy was spent on Mama Chen.

It's still worth it, and the houses you live in are not just new, but there is no shortage of them.

It cost a lot of money to buy charcoal, and as for the firewood for burning the ondol, the entire cold palace that could move searched through it, and reluctantly hoarded some of it.

Mama Chen understands these things very well, and under her guidance, they built an earthen stove.

Pots and pans, some need to be brought by eunuchs, and some grandmothers are looking for them in the east and west, and they are broken bowls and scoops.

At this time, I can't pay much attention to it, and I scrub it carefully a few times, and I use it like this.

Just like this, autumn passed, and winter came.

Qinglan and Zheng Luoyi also stayed in the house every day, and the two of them surrounded a very small charcoal basin in the outhouse, close to the window, in that little gray daylight.

At this time, there are bits and pieces of work that have been prepared long ago.

They can't sit and eat empty, and the silver in the package is not small.

But I don't know if I want to live here for a few years or be trapped for a lifetime, so I naturally have to calculate carefully and have an income.

After spending a sum of money to get a material that was not bad, Qinglan began to embroider.

There is naturally no shortage of these embroidery jobs in the palace, and Qinglan's craftsmanship is not as good as that of the Shangyi Bureau, but it is not bad.

Some beautiful palace maids, and even some eunuchs, can exchange one piece for a small amount of silver.

Not to mention how popular they are, some low-level little eunuchs and palace maids have some savings.

Therefore, Qinglan plans to do all the accumulated flower cloth in this winter when she can't do anything else.

Zheng Ruoyi has nothing to do, she also wants to try this embroidery, but she can play in the past.

At this time, she can't let her spoil it.

"Qinglan don't embroider first, put down the needle and rest your eyes."

Zheng Ruoyi put her hands on her cheeks, her eyes were dry.

Qinglan's mouth should be good, and she said that she would put down what she had at hand, but after the flowers were embroidered, she kept embroidering the green leaves.

Zheng Ruoyi knew that it was useless, so she stepped forward and grabbed it carefully.

After a few days of careful supervision, all the fabrics were used up.

Looking at the handkerchief purse of the small basket, some small objects are a lot, plum orchid, bamboo chrysanthemum, all kinds of flowers, quite lifelike.

Zheng Ruoyi sat next to Qinglan, holding her red and swollen hands with both hands, with chilblains, and pinholes on her fingertips.

After doing so much rough work before, the palms of my hands were a lot rougher, and the ten fingers were red and round, and some were swollen.

Zheng Ruoyi held her blue hands, stared at her calm and peaceful face, reached out and stroked her cold cheeks, and said softly:

"Qinglan, let's take a good rest, don't be really tired."

Qinglan saw that her master was no longer as delicate as before, but her face was still beautiful and delicate, touching the fragility in her apricot eyes.

Her voice was soft, "Even if you want to do it, there's nothing more to do." ”

A shallow smile appeared at the corner of Zheng Ruoyi's mouth, "That's good." ”
