Chapter 68: Who's Disguised More?
Zhang Mengjie and Zhuang Xinyan made an appointment to come to the clothes room. When the two went in, the people there were doing their own work as if they didn't see them, Zhang Mengjie and Zhuang Xinyan didn't care, they walked to their places and picked up the oil paper and sewed rain boots.
After all, sewing rain boots is much simpler than sewing raincoats, in order not to delay everyone's time too much, so Zhang Mengjie chose to make rain boots.
Before the end of the day, all the raincoats that were cut by Zhao Meiren were made into rain boots, and Zhang Mengjie asked people to count almost four or five hundred pairs.
Zhang Mengjie thought for a while and said, "Why don't you make another five or six hundred pairs!" ”
Xiao Su said: "Queen Mother, I'm afraid this won't work." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Are you worried that there are too few people and you won't be able to make many raincoats by then?" ”
Xiao Xu said: "It's not all, the most important idea is that there is not enough oil paper." The slave maid estimated that the oil paper here could only make about 800 sets of raincoats at most, even if it was cut by Zhao Meiren, and the queen didn't say that she would make at least 1,000 sets of raincoats. ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "The oil paper palace will discuss with Father-in-law Qian and ask him to find a way to buy some oil paper back." From today onwards, everyone will work hard before they can go back to rest. Divide the oil paper of the rain boots first, and then there is really no way to still have a coat! ”
Seeing that Zhang Mengjie insisted, Xiao Su did not object to what she said, but took two people to estimate and divide the oil paper of the rain boots.
"Ah, the queen mother and Concubine Zhuang are really here." Zhang Mengjie was about to sew a raincoat when she heard a voice and saw that Li Yuqi was already not far from her.
"Is Concubine Li well? Why don't you take a good rest in Qixiuyuan and come here. Zhang Mengjie said.
"After drinking Concubine Zhuang's sister's medicine, the concubine coughed the next day, and the concubine wanted to come to help that day, but she was afraid that the root of the disease would not disappear, not only could she not help, but it would affect everyone, so the concubine and others would come immediately." Li Yuqi said.
Zhang Mengjie said: "Then you don't have to be in such a hurry!" When has this been? ”
Li Yuqi said: "The concubine will familiarize herself with it today, and it will be more convenient tomorrow." ”
Zhuang Xinyan said: "Is Sister Concubine Li really okay?" My sister thought that the home remedies were useless! ”
Li Yuqi said: "My sister's home remedies are really strange, can my sister tell my sister what kind of medicine this is?" Next time my sister gets a cold, I'll use this medicine. ”
Zhuang Xinyan said: "Scorpion grass, don't blame my sister for not reminding my sister, if my sister uses this medicine herself next time, she must first inquire about the amount of scorpion grass used, and the excessive weight of this scorpion grass will kill people." ”
Li Yuqi chuckled in his heart when he heard this: "Forget it, it's better not to use it." ”
Zhuang Xinyan said: "Sister doesn't have to worry so much, the weight is well mastered, the effect is still good, sister won't be okay this time?" If your sister is worried, will your sister help you next time? ”
Thinking of the sin suffered by the wind and cold before, this time I drank Zhuang Xinyan's scorpion herb and it was fine on the same day. But how could she really come to do this kind of work, if she hadn't heard about Zhao Meiren's affairs in the clothes room, she would still want to pretend to be sick for a few days!
Li Yuqi had long wanted to ask Zhuang Xinyan what kind of medicine she was drinking, and when she heard that this scorpion grass was so harmful, she couldn't help but think a lot at that time. However, Zhuang Xinyan told her so bluntly about the dangers of scorpion grass, she shouldn't have thought of harming her, and she had no reason to harm her. Besides, she had seen the imperial doctor diagnose this scorpion grass in addition to curing her wind and cold, which did not hurt her, which means that Zhuang Xinyan did not lie to her. Since people are willing to help her, why not do it!
Li Yuqi said: "How can my sister get better this time, my sister is already very grateful to my sister, how embarrassed to always bother my sister." ”
Zhuang Xinyan said: "Don't bother, as long as my sister can trust my sister." ”
Li Yuqi said: "My sister is too worried, but my sister can't give everything to my sister, and the silver of this scorpion grass still has to be given to my sister." ”
Zhuang Xinyan said: "Do you still need to be so polite, this scorpion grass is a little troublesome to use, but the silver doesn't cost much, and my sister can't always get a cold, so it's settled." Didn't my sister come to find out about the situation? My sister came at a really good time, and the queen was worried about the lack of manpower, so let them save the time for etiquette, or my sister told you how to do it. ”
When Li Yuqi came here, she saw that no one paid attention to her, so she deliberately spoke to attract attention, but she was still ignored, her heart was extremely unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face. That fleeting dissatisfaction was still noticed by Zhuang Xinyan, and her words really relieved Li Yuqi a lot.
By the time Li Yuqi understood that it was almost dusk, Zhang Mengjie said: "Let's go to dinner early today!" It's going to be hard work for a while from today. ”
Except for Xiao Fu, who cut the rain shoe oil paper, the three others left, and Zhang Mengjie said to Xiao Su: "I won't accompany you if there is something in the palace tonight, and you don't have to do it too late, just do your best." ”
Xiao Su said: "The slave knows that Queen Xie is compassionate!" ”
Zhang Mengjie said to Li Yuqi and Zhuang Xinyan: "Let's go!" ”
Zhuang Xinyan said: "The queen has something to do, the concubines are fine, and the concubines will stay tonight." ”
"Don't be in a hurry, Concubine Zhuang will go back tonight and have a good rest." Zhang Mengjie gave Zhuang Xinyan a look.
Zhuang Xinyan understood: "But it's really a little unaccustomed to Sister Concubine Li's absence these days." If it weren't for the fear of disturbing Concubine Li's sister's rest, my sister would have gone to Qixiuyuan a year ago. My sister is well, and my sister is relieved. It's not appropriate to reminisce here, my sister's body is just right, why don't you go to my sister's Qi Xiuyuan? ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "This is intimacy, and the time that this palace has been with you is not short, right?" If the palace and Concubine Zhuang don't see each other for two or three days, the palace believes that Concubine Zhuang will not miss the palace. ”
Li Yuqi said: "The queen is highly respected, and the concubine and Concubine Zhuang's sister are afraid of climbing, but the concubine and Concubine Zhuang's sister are reassuring and respectful." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "What Concubine Li said is that this palace loves to listen, if it weren't for something in this palace, I really want to get together with Concubine Li." ”
Li Yuqi was not stupid and hurriedly said: "It is not a trivial matter for the queen to have something, and there is no need to worry about the concubines and the sisters of Concubine Zhuang." ”
"This palace and you are not on the same path, then you talk first, and this palace will go first." Zhang Mengjie took her people out of the dressing room.
Li Yuqi and Zhuang Xinyan then walked out.
Li Yuqi said: "What's the matter with the queen's urgency?" ”
"It should be about oiled paper." Zhuang Xinyan told Li Yuqi about the oil paper.
Li Yuqi said: "Zhao Meiren's matter is true!" Zhao Meiren is also a little troubleless, my sister has also worked hard in the past two days, and it may be even harder in the future, my sister should go back to rest first, our sisters have time to get together. ”
How could Zhuang Xinyan not know that Li Yuqi was obviously asking Zhao Meiren, but she actually wanted to know Long Tingxiao's attitude, and she was sneering in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face: "Then my sister has a good rest, my sister won't bother." ”
