Hu Rong and the others were busy all morning, not only to sweep the snow from the ground, but also to dust off the flowers and trees in the yard and the snow from the bamboo. The bamboo is okay, the tenacity is great, and it is nothing to be pressed by the snow. Many flower branches are very brittle, and the snow accumulates a lot overnight, which will crush the branches, and sometimes even the branches and roof tiles cannot withstand the snow pressure, and it is easy to have accidents.

In the winter of the first year I entered the palace, there was snow in the middle of the night that crushed the branches.

At this time last year, Liu Cairen and the others still got together and made an appointment to go to the Plum Pavilion to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms, and Xie Ning also went at that time.

It's not that she wants to be elegant, but since others invite her, it's always hard not to go. In fact, you don't have to take advantage of the snow to enjoy the plum blossoms, the boots are soaked with ice and snow, the charcoal of the hand stove can't help but burn, and the hem of the cloak and skirt are stained with some mud.

It's impossible to enjoy the snow this year, Fang Shanggong and Qinghe don't have to worry about letting her go out.

Qinghe came to persuade her to enter the house, and Xie Ning got up with her hand and moved slowly. This is a habit that has been developed recently, and there can be no big movements, and the whole child is like an old lady.

"Qingmei almost cried in the morning." Qinghe unceremoniously took out the matter of Qingmei and told Shainin to relieve his boredom.

"What's wrong with her?"

"She dropped the handkerchief in the basin last night, washed it by the way, and put it on the back of her chair to dry. Thinking that I could do it quickly, I moved the chair to the brazier......" she said, gesturing: "The result may be that the heat in the charcoal basin smoked and the cloth fell into the brazier, and when she woke up in the morning, she searched for a long time, and when she saw the ashes in the charcoal basin, she knew that it was burned." ”

Xie Ning also laughed, but after laughing, she was a little worried: "You have to tell her that you must be careful next time you use a charcoal basin." When a small object like a handkerchief is burned, it burns, and it's not a big deal. But if the clothes, jackets, and tents are burned, and the house will catch fire if they can't be kept in order, it is not a joke. ”

As the saying goes, fire and water are ruthless, and they are in the palace, and the chance of encountering floods is not great, but there have been accidents because of heating in winter.

Not only afraid of water, but also afraid that the charcoal basin is not cleaned well, the doors and windows are closed at night, and people are damaged by charcoal. There was such an incident in the palace last year, but it almost killed someone. There were three little eunuchs living in that room, and at night someone in the next room put the charcoal basin that was about to burn out at the door and did not bring it into the house, thinking that it would be warmer to have one more charcoal basin for fear of cold at night. Besides, this pot is burning other people's charcoal, and the ready-made cheap is not taken advantage of, so he moved this charcoal basin to his own house. In the morning, they didn't see them get up and break in, one of them had already lost his breath, and the other two almost died together.

Qinghe hurriedly responded: "Yes, I'll tell them when I go back, tell everyone to be careful." ”

There is a very good assorted porridge for breakfast, and the lotus seeds in it are exceptionally sweet and sweet. After breakfast, Xie Ning asked Qinghe to sort out the things sent by the Needle Work Bureau a few days ago. Among them are two stacks of handkerchiefs.

Xie Ning took out two handkerchiefs and handed them to Qingmei: "This is for you." ”

Qingmei hurriedly curtsied and thanked the reward.

Since it is given, it is not good to give it to her. Xie Ning took two more handkerchiefs and rewarded the green lotus, turned his head and smiled at Fang Shanggong and said, "Fang Shanggong also picked two, I'm afraid that my pick is not to your liking." ”

Fang Shanggong also smiled and said, "Then the slave is not welcome." ”

These handkerchiefs are divided into several kinds, the most common is the plain cotton veil tailoring, only a simple sewing edge, and there are no other patterns. This kind of cloth looks inconspicuous, but it is soft and comfortable to use. The others are much stronger than it, and the most luxurious is of course the brocade Ropa, which Shainin does not usually use.

Fang Shanggong picked a piece of jujube red and a piece of lotus color handkerchief and put it away.

Shainin didn't guess right.

She originally guessed that Fang Shanggong might choose the colors of bean green, azure, and gray blue, after all, she was dressed very plainly all day long, and the colors were also calm. It seems that Fang Shanggong may not really like plain and steady colors so much.

To get to know someone, it's not enough to spend just a few days together.

Qi Shanggong sent things here every once in a while, just a small object like a handkerchief, it can send a big burden at a time, even if Xie Ning doesn't use it every day, he can't use up so much, and he takes up space in vain, and the things are also broken. She simply asked Qinghe to take out some and distribute them to the new palace maids.

Qinghe answered and took something out. She wouldn't give these newcomers one by one, how could she have so much spare work. Besides, those newcomers are also worthy of her to Zhang Luo?

Qinghe called Tao Feng over and handed her the wrapped handkerchief: "Two handkerchiefs for one person, you look at the hair, and you can keep the rest for yourself." ”

Tao Feng hurriedly answered and took the handkerchief, and counted it first, if there were two pieces per person, there would be four or five pieces left.

Qinghe felt that these handkerchiefs were either fine linen yarn or muslin cloth, and the color and style were similar, and one person and two pieces could be divided casually. But Tao Feng shared a veil but encountered a lot of trouble. There are a few pieces of water red in these veils, and the color is very delicate, like the flower bones that have just grown on the peach blossom branches in spring. Although they are all the same veils, in order to fight for the red water, a palace maid surnamed Cai and another palace maid surnamed Lu quarreled.

Tao Feng persuaded this and that, and finally gave out two more pieces of what he kept, so that the matter could be settled.

She is young among the new palace maids who have entered the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, and those two people don't take her seriously, if it weren't for Tao Feng bringing Qinghe out and borrowing her name to deter these two people, I'm afraid that they will continue to make trouble.

It's easy to settle this matter, Tao Feng didn't know whether it was good or not, but he was sweating.

In fact, what is not used? If the color is good or bad, wash it twice, and it will fade almost completely, and there is no big difference at all. When Qinghe heard about this incident in the evening, he said to Qingmei at that time: "Where is this fight for the veil, this is for face." ”

Neither was willing to bow to the other. If you lower your head, it will be equivalent to giving in, and it will be even more difficult to go further in the next review. Qinghe is also from the past, what do you not understand? But she didn't have to fight with so many people at that time, and a green plum was still a stupid girl with no heart around her.

Love to fight for them, as long as they can get by on the big side and don't cause trouble, Qinghe won't care about their idle things. Just take this opportunity to see the two of them pick out and use, she is now idle all day long, and sometimes she really wants a helper. If you are too incompetent, you can't ask for it, but you can't just ask for someone with a bad character, you have to open your eyes and pick carefully.
