"Xiao——Qing——Lin——call me wrong again, I will slap you!"
"No, I——"
"Qing Lin, Zhou Fei, hold on tight, the top is slippery."
Li Hui's voice came from the roof, immediately interrupting He Yuyang's words. Xiao Qinglin and Zhou Fei immediately stabilized the ladder obediently. Several others holding umbrellas to watch the excitement looked at each other. These people all went up to the roof and stopped stepping on the ladder.
What's the use of holding it steady or not?
The eunuch who had been observing in the dark sneered when he saw this. He patted the young eunuch on the back and motioned for him to continue staring, while he quickly ran back.
It is still raining, but there is no water on the ground. The drainage in the palace is absolutely in place.
"Good luck, Grandpa."
"Good luck, Grandpa."
"Good luck, Grandpa."
From the moment he enters Jingyang Palace, every young eunuch who sees him will greet him respectfully. He is the leader of all eunuchs, and is commonly known as the Great Eunuch.
Before he could reach the royal study room, a young eunuch ran over in the rain, took the umbrella from his hand, and said in a low voice:
"Master, I asked for tea twice and asked you three times."
After hearing this, Eunuch Shougong said "hmm" and walked to the door of the royal study room——
"Master, this slave is back."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked in. He ran to the front of the emperor with small steps that were different from before, and knelt on his knees.
"Master, except for Mr. Xiao's house who came out to repair the roof, no one came out of the other rooms."
"Qinglin went to the roof?"
"Going back to the master, Mr. Xiao didn't go up to the roof. It was Li Hui who went up. After a few people came out of the house, it was Li Hui who arranged for them to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for things. After the things came back, Mr. Xiao and Zhou Fei held up the ladder, and he himself
We went up to repair the roof. He Yuyang and others held umbrellas to help."
"No one came into the house?"
"Going back to the master, no one came into the house. During this period, He Yuyang wanted to explain to Mr. Xiao, but Mr. Xiao ignored him and remained as alienated as ever. Li Hui still played a mediating role in the middle. He said "Stabilize", and everyone
No one said a word. Li Hui was on the roof at that time, but Mr. Xiao and Zhou Fei were obedient and held the ladder."
When Eunuch Shou said this, he pretended to laugh and chuckled "Pfft--".
When he saw that the person sitting on the dragon throne looked unhappy, he quickly opened his mouth and continued:
"Master, in fact, Mr. Xiao is very accurate in judging people. During this period, I have observed that Li Hui from Liaodong is indeed capable of taking on important responsibilities. He is very vigilant, has a sense of responsibility, and has leadership skills. If it wasn't the case last time,
Zhou Fei relaxes his vigilance and won't suffer from diarrhea at all. The slave is liking Li Hui more and more now. It's rare to see a farm boy with such ability!"
Yan Yunchen, who had been silent for a long time, stood up suddenly, walked down from the dragon chair, and walked slowly to the window, with his hands behind his back...
……
After a night of heavy rain, the next morning, Shunxi, Shuangxi, and Tianma got up early and started cleaning the yard while the moisture on the ground was still there.
The front yard, stables, and backyard pavilion were cleaned first. After finishing these three places, the three young masters of the Li family had already gotten up for morning exercises.
The early bird catches the worm.
Shunxi came to the main courtyard carrying a broom and saw Bai Shao standing at the door holding a basin. She hurriedly walked over and whispered:
"Madam, haven't you gotten up yet?"
Bai Shao shook his head as an answer.
"Then don't carry the basin. It's very heavy. I'll carry it for you. Anyway, I can't sweep the yard if my wife isn't up."
After Shunxi finished speaking, she immediately started to help carry the basin.
Cheng Xue, who had just woken up in the room, raised the corners of her mouth when she heard this. Although Shunxi deliberately lowered her voice, it was quiet in the morning and she could hear clearly in the room.
I stood up and opened the window, and there was a breeze. The fresh air after the rain was refreshing, and it swept away the unbearable pain of staying up late last night.
With Bai Shao's sharp ears, he heard something moving in the main house and hurriedly brought the basin over. Shunxi also helped open the door of the house sensibly, and then waved the broom to clean the yard.
Although the two did not break the window paper, the chemical reaction was clearly visible. For example, the flirtatious eyes, the friendly words, and Shunxi's little behavior as if no one saw him buying cakes.
Cheng Xue will naturally not joke around at this time. The budding relationship must be well protected.
"Madam, your eyes are all red. You were so disturbed by thunder last night that you didn't sleep well."
"No, I stayed up late and wrote something..."
"How can you stay up late! Your body can't stay up late, have you forgotten?"
Before she could finish her words, Bai Shao interrupted anxiously, with a worried look on her face. She had seen him in his weakest state, and since the beginning of winter last year, the situation has been pretty good. If he is exhausted in her hands,
It’s hard for her to explain to the master, father, and mother.
The anxious eyes were not a lie. When Cheng Xue saw Wo Xin, she patted the back of her hand and said:
"Don't worry, I'm in good health and there won't be any more problems."
"You can't be careless." Bai Shao refused, "Let's do this, Madam, today you will catch up on your sleep at home. I will help you keep an eye on the three shops in the south, north and west of the city. Oh, and there is also the main street."
"You can't come to inspect the two shops in the south and north of the city today. Besides, what will happen to the family if you leave? You still have to help the eldest lady."
After saying this, he washed his face with water, took the white peony root and handed him the handkerchief. Seeing that the child's face was heavy, he smiled and said:
"How about this? You make me a bird's nest steamed egg tonight and I come back to eat it, okay?"
When Bai Shao heard this, the heaviness on her face faded a lot, she pointed out three fingers and said:
"It can't just be tonight, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, you have to eat for three days in a row."
"Okay, okay, just in time to eat the bird's nest that Zhou Fei's wife gave you last time, right?"
"Oh, madam!" Bai Shao couldn't hold back her face and chuckled completely.
After smiling, I picked up the comb, helped her apply makeup, and pulled her hair.
"By the way, ma'am, wear less clothes today. It's going to be very hot at noon. I'll find all the summer clothes later, and I'll wash and put away the spring and autumn ones. I won't be able to put them on anymore."
She has stayed in the capital and is very familiar with the climate here. Every time it rains after the beginning of spring, the weather becomes warmer.
It rained so hard last night and it has already poured down, so it will definitely be hot.
Cheng Xue has been here for more than two years and is aware of this situation, but she did not expect that the capital would heat up so quickly than Liaodong, even though she knew that the temperature in the capital would be higher.
In this case, the shed in front of the string house can be set up, so that you can have a barbecue in the summer evening and drink under the moon, which will have a unique flavor.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Don't be too tired. For rough and heavy work like fetching water, just ask Shunxi. Ginguo and Shuangxi will leave with me later. The three of us won't be back for lunch, and don't wait at night either.
Me, remember to make me steamed eggs with bird's nest."
"I know." Bai Shao agreed obediently, went to the box to find clothes for her, and hung other clothes in the cabinet.
You also need to prepare some camphor wood chips. During the period after the palace examination, the clothes are kept in the baggage, which is prone to moisture and insects...
