Chapter 35
Xiangru had lunch, rested for a while, and got up to continue doing needlework. I had never been so leisurely in the kitchen before, and Aunt Rong had to get up in the middle of the night to catch up to work, as if I could now sit leisurely in the sun and rest for a while.
After dinner, the girls began to prepare hot water to wash and sleep, and burned charcoal from the kang road outside, and after everyone washed, the kang was also hot, and everyone took off their clothes and blew the lamp to fall asleep one after another.
At the beginning of the next day, Xiangru woke up automatically under the influence of the biological clock, and it was quiet all around, and she couldn't hear the movement of someone getting up, so she thought that she didn't have to get up early to cook, and she could sleep again, so she didn't have to be confused for a while, until she was woken up by the sound of everyone getting up, and she opened her eyes. It turned out that he slept for half an hour.
Xiangru hurriedly sat up, got dressed, got out of bed, freshened up and dressed up, and then waited for the palace people on duty today to go to the kitchen to bring breakfast and share it with everyone. While waiting, Poria cocos routinely came to lecture, and after the training, breakfast was also brought, everyone ate separately, handed back the tableware, and took tools to fetch water to work.
Mai Dong took a bucket of water from the house, and went out of the corner door with a group of girls who fetched water and went around the courtyard of the pulp washing room along the sandwich road, and picked up two buckets of water from the well there, and behind them Xiangru and Tiandong took brooms, rags, copper basins and other things, and the three of them came to the courtyard of the third doctor along the verandah, and the area responsible for cleaning was the verandah, corridor, railing, and doors and windows of the house upstairs and downstairs in the left wing.
At this time, the doctors and wives also had breakfast, and those on duty went to the front on duty, and those who were not on duty read books and did things in the house, and they all had their own things to do.
Xiangru glanced curiously, there are two-story small buildings in this courtyard, and the second floor is connected, but because the four corners are stairs, the rooms upstairs and downstairs are therefore symmetrically arranged, with five bright rooms in each row, a total of forty rooms.
Xiangru took a closer look, and the people who came down from the upstairs were all doctors who wore rain and sunny days, and the young girls who lived downstairs were all purple and brown.
Mai Dong put down the bucket, called Xiangru, the three of them took the broom and went up to the second floor, carefully swept the corridor from the beginning of the stairs here to the stairs there, and then swept down the stairs layer by layer along the steps, and then swept the corridor downstairs again, and then put away the broom after making sure that there was no dust, and the three of them each took a basin of water and went up to the second floor, and began to scrub the doors and windows of each room and the corridor railing.
After more than two quarters of an hour, the railings of the doors and windows upstairs were wiped off, and the three of them went downstairs to change the basin of clean water and then wiped the railings of the five doors and windows and verandahs downstairs, which was completed after another three quarters of an hour, and the water in the bucket was also used up.
Splash the floor with a scoop, brush it with a bristle brush, wipe it with a wet rag, and finally dry it with a dry rag. The three of them squatted on the ground in a line and wiped it backwards little by little, so as to ensure that they did not leave their own shoe prints, and the same process was done downstairs, scrubbing the floor and steps to shine.
It took more than an hour to dress up all the places in charge, and the other people were almost finished, so they collected all the tools, and did not dare to walk the verandah for fear that the watermark on the soles would stain the freshly brushed ground, so they only walked from the middle of the yard, tiptoe through the corner gate, and went all the way back to the backyard where everyone lived.
Put down the things, wash the hands and faces, take the clothes to the pulp washing room to wash, do needlework under the corridor if you want to do needlework, go to the pantry to make a fire and boil water, today's work is done, the rest is your own time.
It's really quite light.
In just a few days, the winter solstice arrived, and after breakfast, Xiangru and the others went to work, and when they came to the hospital, they first saw the people in the hospital, and the four doctors in the middle hugged their burdens and cried goodbye to everyone. Xiangru couldn't recognize others, she could only recognize the doctor woman wearing azure, among whom was the figure of Doctor Xie, and Aunt Fang and others she had seen when she came that day.
The group of people cried for a while, so that they could persuade them, and Aunt Fang led her subordinates to escort the four doctors who left the palace to the front, followed by Doctor Xie and several other doctors to send them together, and the rest of the people went back to the house, the duty on duty, and the sprinkling and sweeping.
Xiangru saw that Dr. Xie went out of the corner gate with the team, and retracted her mind to concentrate on her work, and when the doctors who sent people back back, the doors and windows upstairs had been wiped and they were wiping the downstairs.
Xiangru took advantage of the gap of twisting the rag, peeked at Dr. Xie, followed her movements, saw her step on the verandah of the main room, the door of the left secondary room downstairs opened from the inside, Madder came out with the tea tray, took the door with her backhand and followed Doctor Xie to the second floor, and finally entered the left secondary room upstairs.
Mai Dong waited left and right and didn't see Xiangru handing over the rag, but when he turned around, he saw her in a daze on the second floor of the North House, so he went over and pushed her with his shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's not under our control, if you want to go, we won't stop you, just be careful that people throw you down." â
Xiangru came back to her senses, knew that she had misunderstood, and didn't explain, stuck out her tongue and made a naughty expression, stuffed the freshly twisted rag in her hand into Mai Dong's hand, and snatched the dirty rag from her hand and threw it into the water to wash.
After finishing today's work, everyone went back to the house to rest, but only two moments later, Poria came over to catch the strong man, saying that the weather was good today, and Aunt Fang wanted to dry the medicinal herbs.
After speaking, Poria picked up people in the courtyard, and after ordering seven or eight people, her finger pointed at Xiangru.
Xiangru hurriedly packed her things and followed Poria to the second pharmacy courtyard with everyone.
The storehouse keeper was already waiting at the door of the left-hand room, where the rooms were all small layouts with one light and two darkness, but it was enough for a pharmacy and a storeroom.
The treasurer instructed everyone to first move out four three-story dustpan racks, open them and put them in the courtyard, and then carry out twelve large round dustpans.
The dustpan was laid out on the ground, and everyone went into the room to carry out a large medicine bag by sack, opened the bag, poured all the medicinal materials on the dustpan, and bulldozed the medicinal materials with a long-handled wooden clipper to ensure that each medicinal material could receive sunlight.
A big dustpan can dry three or four bags of medicinal herbs, three dustpans only dry one flavor of medicine, these twelve dustpans only dry four flavors of medicine, recall that when I entered the warehouse just now, I saw the sacks full of warehouses, so many medicines all over again It would take many days.
Xiangru took a closer look at the medicinal materials she fiddled with, they are all commonly used medicines, no wonder the amount is large, how many sacks have to be dried at a time, spread evenly on the heads of all the women in the palace, all the decoction into medicinal juice is not enough for one person, only if it is compared with the ladies and the aunts and girls with heads and faces, it is enough.
After the medicinal materials are spread out, there is nothing to do for the time being, the person in charge of the library locked the door of the library, called the big guy to go to the inverted room to eat tea and rest, everyone chatted around the table, wiped the cards, messed around in the morning, only came out before lunch and turned over the dustpan with a wooden clipper, and saw that there was no problem, before joining hands to go to the back to eat.
After eating, I didn't dare to rest, and immediately turned back to the front, and when I passed these big shelves, the sharp-eyed girl found that someone had moved the dustpan and screamed.
Everyone rushed up to watch, and found that two of the four shelves had been tampered with, and the two flavors of the six dustpans were all mixed together, and they were not smoothed, and they were piled up in the dustpan high and low, and at a glance they knew that they were made in a hurry.
No one squeaked, everyone knew what was going on in their hearts, someone made Aunt Fang angry and was going to be punished.
Xiangru didn't squeak either, what everyone did she did and what she did, everyone turned a blind eye to her, and only followed everyone to check the other six dustpans, but no one in them moved.
After a while, the storekeeper called the girls into the upside-down room to rest, saying that Shen Chu had only packed up the medicinal herbs, so he could rest assured and boldly come to sleep, and if he didn't want to sleep, he went back to the house to get a needle and thread to do it.
The girls listened to the persuasion, and entered the house together, and each looked for a place to curl up and squint for a while, and after a moment or two, they woke up one after another, eating tea and chatting, chatting and chatting, grate head with grate (bĂŹ) head, and needlework with needlework.
Xiangru also went back to the house to get a needle and thread to do, the pattern has almost finished embroidering, and it is estimated that it will be completed today and tomorrow.
Everyone was taking care of themselves to pass the time, and suddenly heard someone crying in the courtyard outside, which stimulated everyone's boring heart, but they didn't dare to lift the curtain to go out to see the excitement, and they couldn't see the window paper pasted on the window, so they could only wait patiently until the outside seemed to be silent, leaning on the door and quietly lifting a little curtain to peep at the eyes, and seeing that there was indeed no one, this was a generous look.
In the middle of the courtyard, there was a young girl, her face was pale, standing in front of a medicine shelf and stretching out her hands to sort the medicinal materials, just looking at the past, Xiangru felt that this girl was so tall, and she was actually half a body taller than the top dustpan, and followed everyone around to take a look, only to know that this girl was standing on the stepstool on the foot.
Thinking about it carefully, where can she reach the upper dustpan alone, when she used to spread the medicine, she first put the medicine in the dustpan, and then the four of them lifted it flat and placed it firmly on the high shelf.
Someone recognized this girl and stepped forward to talk to her, but the girl didn't pay attention, the other party was bored, and after a while, he was surrounded by his own group of people and asked about the girl's origin.
Xiangru leaned over to listen, only to know that this girl was also sprinkled on the sweep, and then transferred to the courtyard to serve the aunts and girls, today was punished obviously did something wrong, although only mixed with two medicinal materials, but after all, there are six dustpans, I don't know if this girl can be completed before dark.
Akane also told herself about this at the beginning, but now I see it with my own eyes, and it has another impact on my psychology. Xiangru secretly reminded herself, you must be careful, don't let Aunt Fang catch the mistake and fix her like this, if she mixes a few more medicinal herbs, won't she have to pick it until dark? I remember that if I didn't finish picking after dark, there would be people who would take the ring ruler and smoke people to play.
