Hu Rong and the others have been busy all morning, not only clearing the snow on the ground, but also dusting the snow off the flowers, trees and bamboos in the yard.
Bamboo is okay, it's very tough, so it won't be a big deal if it gets crushed by snow.
Many flower branches are very brittle, and a lot of snow has accumulated overnight, which will crush the branches.
Sometimes even branches and roof tiles cannot bear the weight of the snow, and accidents are easy to occur.
In the winter when I first entered the palace, there was snow in the middle of the night that broke the branches.
At this time last year, Liu Cairen and the others got together and made an appointment to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms at Yinmei Pavilion.
Xie Ning also went there.
It wasn't that she wanted to be arty, but that since someone else invited her, she couldn't help but go.
In fact, you don’t have to take advantage of the snow to enjoy plum blossoms.
Your boots were soaked by the snow and ice, the charcoal in the hand stove was burning, and the hem of your cloak was stained with mud.
After going out for a trip, your feet were almost frostbitten when you came back.
It was impossible to go to enjoy the snow this year, and Fang Shanggong and Qing He were worried about letting her go out.
Qing He came over to persuade her to come into the house.
Xie Ning held her hand and stood up, moving slowly.
This is a habit I have developed recently.
I cannot make any big movements.
I look like an old lady.
"Qingmei almost cried this morning."
Qinghe unceremoniously told Xie Ning about Qingmei's affairs to relieve Xie Ning's boredom.
"What's wrong with her" "She dropped her handkerchief into the basin last night.
She washed it and put it on the back of a chair to dry.
She thought it would dry quickly, so she moved the chair to the brazier."
She said and gestured: "It turned out that the heat in the charcoal basin might have made the veil fall into the brazier.
When she woke up in the morning, she searched for it for a long time.
Only when she saw the ashes in the charcoal basin did she know it was burned."
Xie Ning also laughed, but after she finished laughing, she felt a little worried: "You have to tell her to be careful next time when using a charcoal basin.
If a small object like a handkerchief is burned, it will be burned.
It's no big deal.
But if clothes If the jacket and tent are caught in the fire, the house will catch fire if they are not kept intact.
That is no joke. " As the saying goes, water and fire have no mercy.
They were in the palace, so the chance of encountering water or floods was low, but accidents caused by heating in winter did happen.
Not only are they afraid of water leakage, but they are also afraid that if the charcoal basin is not properly maintained and the doors and windows are closed at night, people will be poisoned by the charcoal fumes.
There was an incident like this in the palace last year, which almost resulted in someone's death.
There were three young eunuchs living in that house.
At night, someone in the next room put the almost-burned charcoal pot at the door instead of carrying it into the house.
They thought it would be warmer if there was an extra charcoal pot for fear of the cold night.
He was burning someone else's charcoal, and he couldn't take advantage of it, so he moved the charcoal basin into his own house.
Early in the morning, when no one else saw them, they got up and broke in.
One of them had already expired, and the other two almost died together.
Qing He quickly responded: "Yes, I will tell them later and tell everyone to be careful."
The breakfast porridge was very good, and the lotus seeds in it were particularly sweet and fragrant.
After breakfast, Xie Ning asked Qinghe to sort out the things sent by the needlework bureau a few days ago.
Among them are two stacks of veils.
Xie Ning took out two handkerchiefs and handed them to Qingmei: "This is for you."
Qingmei quickly knelt down and thanked her.

Now that I have given it, I can’t just give it to her.
Xie Ning took two more handkerchiefs and rewarded Qinghe, turned around and said with a smile to Fang Shanggong: "Fang Shanggong also picked two, I'm afraid the ones I picked are not to your liking."
Fang Shanggong also smiled and said, "That slave is not welcome."
There are several types of these handkerchiefs.
The most common ones are the ones cut from plain cotton gauze.
They are simply sewn on the edge and have no other patterns.
This kind of veil looks inconspicuous, but is soft and comfortable to use.
The other types are much stronger than it.
The most luxurious one is of course Brocade Ropa, which Xie Ning doesn't usually like to use.
Fang Shanggong picked a maroon red and a lotus root colored handkerchief and put it away.
Xie Ning didn't guess correctly.
She originally guessed that Fang Shanggong might choose colors such as pea green, sky blue, and gray blue.
After all, she looked sober and calm in her clothes all day long.
It seems that Fang Shanggong may not really like plain and steady colors that much.
To understand a person, just getting along with him for a few days is far from enough.
Qishang Gong delivers things here every now and then.
Just a small item like a handkerchief can deliver a large package at a time.
Even if Xie Ning keeps changing the same things every day, he still can't use up all this.
It will be wasted and take up space. , things were also broken.
She simply asked Qing He to take out some and share them with the new palace ladies.
Qinghe responded and took out the things.
She wouldn't distribute things to these newcomers one by one, so she wouldn't have so much free time.
Besides, those newcomers are worthy of her as well.
Qing He called Tao Feng over and handed her the wrapped bundle of handkerchiefs: "Two handkerchiefs for each person.
You can take care of them.
If there is any left, you can keep it for yourself."
Tao Feng quickly responded and took the handkerchief.
He counted it once and found that if there were two yuan per person, there would still be four or five yuan left.
Qing He felt that these handkerchiefs were either fine linen or fine cotton, and the colors and styles were similar, so he could just divide them into two pieces at will.
But Tao Feng encountered a lot of trouble when sharing the veil.
There are a few water-red pieces in these handkerchiefs, and the color is very delicate, just like the flower bones that have just grown on the peach blossom branches in spring.
Although they were both wearing the same veil, a palace maid named Cai and another palace maid named Lu got into a quarrel over the red one.
Tao Feng persuaded one thing and another, and finally gave away two more yuan that she had saved, and finally settled the matter.
She was relatively young among the new batch of palace maids who came to Yingxiang Pavilion, and those two people didn't take her seriously.
If Tao Feng hadn't brought Qing He out and used her name to scare them, they would have been alone.
I was afraid that they would continue to make trouble.
It was easy to settle this matter, but Tao Feng didn't know how to deal with it.
Instead, he was sweating from the torment.
In fact, if the veil is washed twice with different colors, it will be almost faded, and there will be no big difference at all.
When Qinghe heard about this in the evening, he said to Qingmei at that time: "This fight is not about the veil, this fight is about face."
Neither of them wanted to bow to the other.
Lowering the head means giving in, and it will be even harder to go further next time.
Qing He was also here, so what she didn't understand was that she didn't have to compete with so many people at that time, and there was only Qing Mei beside her, who was still a careless and silly girl.
Let them fight if they love to fight.
As long as they can get by on the big picture and don't cause trouble, Qinghe will not meddle in their nosy matters.

She just took this opportunity to see two capable people picked out for use.
She has no time to spare all day long, and sometimes she really wants a helper.
You can't take someone who is too incompetent, but you can't take someone who is just capable and has bad character.
You have to open your eyes and choose carefully
