On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month of the year of Jiwei, the sky was dark and leaden clouds hung low.
At midnight, snow finally began to fall, making a soft rustling sound on the glazed tiles.
The sound of snow was dense and urgent.
After a while, the houses in the distance were covered with a thin layer of white.
On the green brick floor in the nearby yard, grayish blue was exposed, as if a sack of flour had been spilled and spread unevenly all over the ground.
The wind blew up the snow particles, which hit my face painfully.
Yu Chi quickly turned around and lowered the curtain.
There was a charcoal fire in the center of the room making a beeping sound.
She walked over and took the tongs to stir the fire.
She didn't want the fire to hit the ash pile of the tongs, but it was so dark that it couldn't be touched.
She couldn't help but smile and said: "This Who must have laid the ambush?
All I know is greedy."
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone outside the door asking: "Who are you scolding Aunt Yu?"
Then the curtain was raised and someone came in.
Wearing a green robe, he entered the house and took out his hat first.
While brushing the snow beads off his tassel, he said with a smile: "In the first month of the year, you, the old man, don't teach them a lesson."
When Yuzhi saw that it was Feng Wei, the young eunuch of the fourth storehouse, he asked: "Little monkey boy, why did you come to our place at this time?"
Feng Wei turned his face and saw the taro buried in the brazier, holding it with tongs He stood up and asked with a smile: "Which sister's good stuff is this?
I'm going to miss it first."
Then he stretched out his hand to peel the taro, and when he took it out of the charcoal fire, it was so hot that he shook his hands and screamed "ouch".
Yunchu, who was sitting on the kang folding clothes, smiled and said, "You deserve it."
Feng Wei held the hot potato and took a bite.
It was so hot that it rolled on the tip of his tongue before he swallowed it indiscriminately.
He said to Yuchi: "Aunt Yu, sister Yunchu is getting better and better.
She will get Gaozhi tomorrow and support her."
Let’s live a decent life for two days,” Yunchu spat at him.
Mouth: "The ivory can't spit out the ivory from the dog's mouth.
I don't have such a good life."
Feng Wei blew into his hand: "Don't tell me, I really can't say for sure what happens in this palace.
Just take that For Master Duan, if you are not as good as sister Yunchu, who would have thought that she would be where she is today?"
Yuchi then stretched out his finger and poked him on the forehead: "I forgot the lesson again.
Don't compare your master to our slaves.
There are no rules.
See if I don't tell your master later."
Feng Wei stuck out his tongue and chewed on it.
That taro said: "I almost forgot about my serious errand.
The master asked me to come and see that the crow-green and flower-shaped Fuyu satin was ironed and it wasn't snowing.
I was afraid that I would need to use it later.
"Yu Qi raised his face inside and said, "Linlang is ironing it in the back room."
Feng Wei.
Then he lifted the curtain of the inner room and stretched his head to look inside.
Linlang was seen holding the iron with his head lowered and bending over to iron the clothes.
When he looked up, he saw him and said, "Look at your dark hands, and when you look back, your clothes are stained."
Huazhu looked back and said in a hateful voice, "As long as you are sharp-eyed and greedy, even those buried in charcoal can't escape. " Feng Wei swallowed it in three gulps, clapped his hands and said, "Don't bother arguing with me about this, the master's clothes are important."
Yun Chu was walking in and said, "Stop using the master to pressure us.

The room is full of hanging and ironing clothes."
They are all the master's clothes."
When Feng Wei saw Yun Chu chatting with him, he didn't dare to pretend to be pretentious and just talked about other things. : "Linlang, your new clothes are really nice."
Yunchu said: "I'm not up or down.
You call me Linlang.
You can't even call me sister."
Feng Wei just smiled and said: "She and I are the same year.
"We don't care about big or small."
Linlang didn't want to talk nonsense with him and just asked: "But I want that crow-green feather satin."
Feng Wei said, "So you heard what I said outside."
Linlang replied, "I didn't hear that, but it's snowing outside.
It must be a feather satin.
The emperor always chooses solemn colors, so I guess it's the raven satin."
It's green."
Feng Wei laughed: "What you said is the same as what the master said, Linlang, you have to catch up with the people waiting in front of the emperor."
Linlang didn't even raise her head, just blowing on the charcoal in the iron: "Don't talk nonsense, I just got it wrong by chance."
Yunchu took the green silk bag and wrapped the crow green feather satin to Feng Wei .
After sending him out, he complained: "He only talks nonsense all day long."
He also took an iron to iron a robe, and sighed: "Today is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and the new year is over.
This time Year after year is said to be difficult, but it passes in the blink of an eye.”
Linlang lowered her head for a long time, and her neck couldn't help but feel sore, so she stretched out her hands to rub it.
Hearing what Yunchu said, she couldn't help but smile: "Stay with it for a few more years, and then you can be released."
Yunchu smiled: "Xiao Nizi is feeling spring again.
Yes, I know you are looking forward to being released from the palace so that you can marry a young son-in-law."
Linlang walked over to add charcoal to the iron and look at the painting beads.
He went out to the outside, so he said: "I know you are also looking forward to it in the morning and evening, looking forward to the day when you can stand out and be proud of yourself."
Yunchu straightened her face: "Stop talking nonsense."
Linlang smiled and said: "This time I brought out my sister’s money, come on, it’s mine, okay?”
She whispered softly, Yunchu couldn’t hold back her face, and finally just smiled.
It snowed heavily at the end of the day, and the snow fell in clumps, as long as wadding.
The wind had died down, but the snow was falling harder and harder, and everything was covered in white.
The rolling and splendid palaces are wrapped in silver and look particularly quiet.
Because the sky was overcast and snowing, it was already dark at this time.
Yu Chi came in and called people: "Huazhu, it's snowing heavily.
You can wrap up that sable end cap and send it away.
I'm afraid they'll be in a hurry to send it away."
It's too late to get it."
Huazhu tossed his braid and said, "If I give you something in the dark weather, my aunt will find fault with me.
Such a good job."
Yunchu said to Huazhu, "You are so lazy that even my aunt can't help you.
Let me go for a while."
Linlang said, "I'll go anyway."
I have been bored in this room all day, and the smoke from the charcoal fire makes my head hurt.
Besides, it is sixteen today, so I just want to go away. " The last sentence made Yuqi laugh: "Carry that ram's horn lantern, be careful not to drop it under your feet."
Linlang agreed, picked up the clothes and baggage, lit the lamp and went to the Fourth Treasury.

Just after passing through Yikun Palace, I saw a pair of ram-horn lanterns coming from a distance, leading a carriage from the side road.
They quickly stood under the palace wall and waited quietly to avoid it.
Just listen to the sound of boots and the soft squeak of snow.
The eunuch carrying the shoulder carriage walked in unison, as if he were alone.
Linlang lowered his head and held his breath.
He felt a pair of lanterns shining on the snow in front of him, and suddenly heard a clear and gentle voice calling his name: "Linlang ."
He called to the eunuch again: "Stop."
Seeing that it was Concubine Rong, Linlang quickly said, "I wish you well, Master Rong."
Concubine Rong nodded, and Linlang thanked her again before standing up.
Seeing that Concubine Rong was wearing a bright red feather satin cloak, which was reflected in the light, she turned sideways on her bed to talk to Linlang, revealing a sapphire blue flowered bat satin robe underneath, with three or four inches of white fox wind protruding from the cuffs.
She gently brushed her hair on the enamel copper hand stove, and just asked her: "Is Yunchu okay?"
Linlang said: "In reply to Master Rong, Miss Yunchu is very good, but she often misses the master and violates the rules, so she can't go to greet the master often."
Concubine Rong nodded lightly and said, "I'll see you in a few days.
Send someone to see her."
She was going to see the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace for a visit.
She was afraid of missing the time, so she only said a few words and signaled the eunuch to get up.
Linlang stayed aside according to the rules and waited until the sedan chair was far away before turning around.
She walked along the palace wall to the outside of Xinuang Pavilion.
Changqing, the eunuch on duty in the Fourth Treasury, saw her and couldn't help but smile: "Aunt Yu sent you here."
Linlang said, "Aunt Yu saw that it was snowing heavily.
Just afraid of this The masters here were worried, so they asked me to send a hood."
Changqing took the bundle and said, "It's such a cold day, I should have left you to have a cup of tea to warm your hands, but seeing that it's getting late, I I won’t leave you alone "He said, "Go back and thank Aunt Yu for me.
It's hard for her to think so carefully and send the girl here specially."
Linlang smiled and said, "My father-in-law is so polite.
Aunt Yu always thinks of the benefits of the masters. , saying that the masters often take care of things for us.
Besides, this is our duty."
Seeing her say this, Chang Qing felt happy and said, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid the palace gate will be opened soon, so go back quickly.
Bar."
Linlang walked back with the lantern, and it was already dark.
Lights are being lit in various palaces, and sparse lights can be seen from a distance.
The snow flakes were smaller, but they were still as fine and dense as sifted salt, like flying catkins, falling silently.
The guards in the inner court of Longfumen were changing their positions, and in the distance they could only hear the sound of the saber hitting the silver nails on the belt, and the clanking sound cut through the silence.
She walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the snow soaked the soles of her boots, which were cold and damp.
Walking back into the house, I was greeted by the warmth of a charcoal fire, and it took me a while to regain my composure.
Yuqi said: "I was just going to look for you, I'm afraid I'm going to drop the key."
Linlang said: "It's really cold outside, it's so cold that my brain is going to freeze."
Yunchu handed her his hand stove, and then He said, "I've left some cake for you."
Linlang then said, "I happened to meet Master Rong on the road, and he said he would send someone to see you in a few days."
After hearing this, Yunchu was really happy and asked, "How is your sister's complexion?"
" Linlang said: "Of course it is good, and wearing the emperor's newly rewarded clothes makes you more noble."
Yunchu asked: "The emperor rewarded my sister with new clothes?
Did she tell you?"
Linlang smiled slightly and said: "How could the master say that to me?
I figured this out myself."
Yun Chu asked curiously, "How did you figure it out?"

Linlang put down the stove, picked some dumplings from the plate to eat, and said: "The Yun brocade that Jiangning Zhifu received as a tribute last year was not distributed among the palace masters except the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.
Today I saw Master Rong wearing it.
It's a recent reward from the emperor."
These two words made Yunchu laugh: "Linlang, I will call you daughter Zhuge tomorrow."
Linlang said with a smile, "I'm just guessing, how can I stand it.
You said so."
It snowed continuously for half the night, but in the middle of the night it cleared up.
A slanting moon hung low on the west wall, illuminating the cold snowy light, making the window paper translucent and white.
Linlang fell into a drowsy sleep, turning over sleepily.
She thought it was dawn and was afraid of missing the time, so she sat up to listen.
After the fourth watch, she lay down again.
Yunchu also woke up, but slowly took the pillow towel and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Linlang asked: "I dreamed of your mother-in-law again."
Yunchu remained silent.
After a long time, she finally let out a soft "hmm".
Linlang sighed quietly and said, "Don't think about it.
Now that Master Rong is here and you are such a talented person, you will be indispensable for honor and wealth in the future.
Even if you don't stay in this palace, you will definitely be a good family when you go out." " Yunchu asked: "You all know that if it weren't for my sister, my mother-in-law would not know how miserable she was."
Linlang patted her gently through the quilt: "Go to sleep, after a while, I will get up again."
The clothes were delivered to the laundry room at the right time, and Yuchi assigned workers.
Linlang Yunchu's group of ten people worked exclusively on ironing.
Linlang was always meticulous in doing things, so he didn't need the jade chopsticks to tell him.
He first laid the black robe with embroidered dragon patterns on the board, sprayed it with water, turned around to get the iron, and couldn't help but ask: "Who took me again?"
The iron is gone."
Huazhu stretched his head towards her through the clothes rack and said, "Good sister, I'm in a hurry, please lend it to me first."
Linlang said.
Before answering, Yunchu raised her head and said, "Huazhu, you will eventually get lazy one day."
Huazhu made a face at her among the colorful clothes.
Linlang took an iron and held the charcoal to light it, while leaning down He lowered his body and took a closer look at the clothes: "It's so sloppy.
You don't even say a word about the hemming and sewing.
If you turn it over and hand it over, you'll be hungry again."
Yuqi came over and took a closer look.
Linlang had already taken the sewing basket and took out the brown thread to compare.
Yuqi said: "This needs a black thread -" before he finished the sentence, he realized that he had made a mistake and said with a smile: "I'm so old, I forgot to avoid taboos when I blurt out."
Huazhu said angrily: "Auntie, I always I always say I am old, but actually look My aunt is just about the same as us."
Linlang smiled and said, "I'm lazy when I draw beads, but I'm never lazy when it comes to words."
Yunchu said, "If my aunt doesn't care about her, it will only make us stupid."
A clumsy tongue."
Huazhu stood on tiptoe and put the clothes on the rack, saying, "You are the ones who are clumsy and clumsy
