Qing Yang helped Ning Ying get up, then brought the washing water over, and while twisting the handkerchief, he whispered happily: "Gege, the fourth master left early, and let us not make a sound—I'm afraid of disturbing your sleep!" It's a good momentum, and you need to work harder now! ”

After dressing neatly and combing her hair, Ning Ying walked out and saw that breakfast was already waiting for her on the table outside.

Ning Ying sat down and tasted the warm "black black tea" first.

The so-called black black tea is one of the Qinggong milk teas: it is made by adding milk to the pasty milk skin and clear tea.

It doesn't sound great, but it's amazing on the palate – silky and creamy, with a hint of bitterness on the mushy milk skin and an endless aftertaste.

In the Qing Palace, they generally love to eat dairy products, such as dried cheese, milk rolls, etc.; Needless to say, milk tea is everyone's favorite drink in the Forbidden City.

But milk tea is not available in unlimited quantities - in the court, depending on the rank, the amount of milk tea that concubines can drink is also limited.

It's not just tea that's restricted, it's also cows – after all, one of the raw materials for milk tea is fresh milk.

For example, the number of dairy cows used by the prince and the prince Fujin at this time was only ten.

Therefore, Ning Ying can drink the milk tea delivered from the dining room - in the final analysis, it is because she is now in the limelight of newcomers.

Qing Yang saw that she had tasted several sips of milk tea, and hurriedly opened the lid of the bowl and pushed it in front of her, reminding her: "Gege, you have some stomach, you still have to eat!" ”

Ning Ying glanced at the table,

Yesterday and the day before yesterday, she suddenly wanted to eat fish, so she asked Qingyang to carry the fish several times.

As a result, today's dining room ......

A large bowl of eight-treasure fish porridge, served with cold vinegar and three silk fish rolls, fried fish strips with egg yolk and white sesame seeds, and fresh milk hibiscus fish fillet crisp...... The aroma is tangy.

Ning Ying lifted the chopsticks and tasted the cold salad vinegar three-silk fish roll, the sour and fresh taste, I don't know what ingredients were added, it was slightly similar to the fragrance of lemon.

It reminded her of a Vietnamese restaurant that she used to go to before crossing over.

It's no wonder that the people in this backyard have all broken their heads and want to compete for favor.

Even if it's only been a little favored by the big guy recently, the days have immediately become quite moist.

There are many dishes and large portions, and early in the morning, Ning Ying can't eat so much.

There were a few plates that didn't move the chopsticks, so she asked Qing Yang to take them down and share them with the others.

Fortunately, today is the day to say goodbye to Fu Jin, otherwise I would have to get up early in the morning - and I wouldn't have been able to sleep until noon.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the little wonton was lying at the door, leisurely shaking its two little paws and paws to look outside, its fluffy little ears spinning around.

Ning Ying was afraid that it would be cold on the ground, so she walked over and picked it up and put a small cushion on it.

Just as a gust of rain and wind swept over, the rain and mist sprinkled on Ning Ying's face, she raised her hand and hugged her shoulder, and she also felt a little cold.

Seeing this, Qing Yang immediately entered the inner room and took out a Spring and Autumn thin material cloak and put it on her.

The newly rewarded cloth had not yet had time to make clothes - this was also the old cloak of the original owner, with a plum background and a few cherry blossoms embroidered on the corners, which was timeless and elegant.

Qing Yang was still raising his hand to tie Ning Ying's button, and Wu Gege came over with an oil-paper umbrella.

As soon as he entered the door, Wu Gege's personal maid Siyun paused, stood under the eaves, stretched out her arms, and slightly tilted the corner of the umbrella.

The raindrops on the oil-paper umbrella suddenly fell on the ground in the courtyard like a string of pearls.

"After all, it's summer, and it's raining so hard! Just a few steps, Sister Ning, look at me! ”

Wu Gege said as he took off the handkerchief from the placket on his chest, kept wiping the rain on his face, and said to Ning Ying with a smile.

Siyun put the umbrella in the corner of the wall outside and followed in.

She is a slightly dark-skinned girl, her skin is also a little rough, it is estimated that she has been sharpened by the wind and sand in the northwest, she is very tall, in this fourth elder brother's mansion, she is almost half a head taller than other maids, most of the time she keeps her head down, and stands behind Wu Gege silently.

Wu Gege sat down informally, reached out and took out a small stack of paper rolls from his sleeve, stuffed them to Ning Ying, and wrapped several layers of oiled paper on the outside, pressing them tightly.

Ning Ying opened it layer by layer and looked at it, and it turned out that the stack of paper contained in it was the copied Heart Sutra.

Wu Gege stretched out his hand to take it, and showed Ning Ying the number of sheets, which happened to be the ten sheets requested by Li Fangfujin.

She put down the Buddhist scriptures and shouted proudly: "Sister Ning, it's not me who brags - my handwriting has been deliberately changed, and no one can see the problem!" You just have to take it and take it to the errand......"

Ning Ying was about to make her quieter, when there was a sudden movement at the door, and the little wonton screamed.

Qing Yang hurriedly went over to look, it turned out to be the rough old mother Shi Pozi walked recklessly past the door, didn't notice the little wonton lying on the steps, and the big broom in his hand poked the little wonton in the head

Qing Yang hurriedly picked up the little wonton, and heard Ning Ying ask in a loud voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Shi Pozi knew that this was Ning Gege's pet dog, so she panicked, and hurriedly blushed her face, pulled the corner of Qingyang's clothes, and begged: "Miss Qingyang......"

Qing Yang frowned, reached out and pulled the corner of his clothes out of Shi Pozi's hand, lowered his head and kneaded the little wonton several times, checked that it was no big deal, and then glared at Shi Pozi, turned back to the room and replied, "It's nothing, Gege." ”

The sound of the rain gradually subsided, but there was a quarrel from the concubine's residence opposite—the sound was getting higher and louder, very intense.

Wu Gege was originally talking, but at this time he immediately shut up, put the tea cup on the table, stood up, and walked to the door to see the excitement with a gossipy face.

It turned out that the concubine Qian made a new dress, but the concubine Zhou accidentally burned a hole in the clothes when she fiddled with the candles.

Qian was holding the new clothes in his hand, his voice trembled with anger, and he raised his hand to Zhou and said in a trembling voice: "You are obviously jealous!" Why did you destroy my garments, and why did you use such despicable means? ”

When Zhou Shi was told by her, his face was inevitably unbearable, and his face turned red, and he said angrily: "What means are not means? Isn't it just a garment? It's all already lost, isn't it, what else? Besides, do you think you're Ningage? What if you make a garment with four sleeves? Could it be that the fourth master will look at you more? ”

These words poked at the sore spot of the person.

Qian immediately jumped up, bit a mouthful of silver teeth and said: "You have such a vicious mouth, everyone lives together, you don't look down and don't look up, why are you like this!" I don't know where I can't stand you? That's it, that's it, I'm a stupid person, I don't want this clothes! ”

After she finished speaking, she burst into tears, threw the clothes she was holding in her arms to the ground, and flipped over the sewing basket next to her.

Suddenly, all the debris in the basket fell to the ground, crackling, and there was a lot of movement.

The minions all quietly gathered over and probed their brains.
