Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 474 Familiarity
But Dongxue was sent out to and from the Shanggong Bureau, the Weaving Bureau, etc., many times, and the things brought back each time were different, just like this time.

She and an eunuch walked towards Canglan Courtyard, holding precious porcelain in their hands, it was a complete set of new matching cups, bowls and saucers, which were for Master Lian at the request of Nanny Qi.

"Thank you Brother Xia Lei, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know how to move back." Dong Xue said gratefully to the eunuch next to him.

The eunuch named Xia Lei smiled plainly: "You are so polite to say thank you. Your name is Dong Xue, and my name is Xia Lei. Dong Xue and Xia Lei are a family, and they should help each other."

He looks honest and honest, and people can't help but feel a little more trust when they see it.

Dong Xue couldn't help being more grateful: "Brother Xia Lei, you are so kind."

Such kind people are rare in the palace, Brother Xia Lei has helped her several times, this time he put aside his errands to help her, Canglan Courtyard is so far away, I really don't know how to thank him.

Thinking of his errands, Dong Xue asked hesitantly: "It's just that your errands really don't matter?"

Xia Lei said frankly: "It's not a problem, you also know that my place is free on weekdays, and I have entrusted someone to take care of it for me, so it will not be a serious problem. Besides, this whole set of porcelain is precious this time, and Curry is the only one with this set I can't bear to fight anymore, helping me is also helping myself, haha, don't take it to heart."

Dong Xue felt a lot relieved when she heard the words, remembering that time when she was frizzy, her face began to flush slightly, and said angrily: "Brother Xia Lei, you are laughing at me..."

Xia Lei is the eunuch in charge of the porcelain storehouse of the Shang Palace Bureau, and all the soup cups, saucers and tea cups are taken from him.

The two became attached to each other when she was ordered to receive the soup cup. The first time she received the soup cup, she received it from another eunuch. However, she just turned around and went out after receiving it. Lei, the soup cup was not held firmly, it fell to the ground and shattered.

She was a little anxious, no matter what was received in the palace, it was counted, and it had to be recorded in the book, for what reason, who received it, who distributed it, and how much was received, all of them were clearly remembered.

Influenced by Xia Liu, she has always been cautious in Canglan Courtyard. She was worried about making mistakes and being punished.

It was Brother Xia Lei who saw her worry, took all the responsibility on himself, paid for it with his own money, got her a new one, and went to talk to the eunuch who was released first, as if he hadn't beaten her. Broken, don't forget, he broke it by mistake while tidying up the warehouse.

She passed the test that time.

It was from that time that the two became acquainted.

This time, Brother Xia Lei saw that she had received a lot of things, and the things were expensive, so he actually delivered them himself.

Xia Lei laughed, as if teasing Dong Xue was a very happy thing.

After a while, seeing Dongxue's face calmed down, he couldn't help asking: "The porcelains that Canglan Yuan received before are all ordinary things, very plain, what's the matter this time?"

For more than two years, the things that the master of the Canglan Courtyard received were almost the worst ones used by the masters in the palace. Even if they got favored later, they only used some ordinary things, so this time it was really disappointing. Puzzling.

Dong Xue shook her head: "I don't know either, Nanny Qi let it go, presumably because she felt that Master Lian lived too poorly in the past, so she wanted to change it."

The things used in the Canglan Courtyard are far inferior to those in the Star Palace. There is nothing like porcelain in the Star Palace. They are the best in the palace. Of course, only Long Live Lord can afford it.

"That's it..." Xia Lei nodded, agreeing: "Master Lian is indeed frugal. By the way, did you use the soup pot well?"

Dong Xue said: "Not yet, it's useless to leave it alone."

"Is it not good enough?" Xia Lei tentatively asked: "Then why not change to a more expensive one today? Master Lian looks comfortable too."

"That's not true, Master Lian has never paid much attention to these things." Dongxue held her hands a little sorely, adjusted her posture, and continued: "No need to change, Madam Qi didn't let me change, and I would be unhappy if I changed , and it was too late, when I came out just now, I saw that the soup pot had already been stewed with bird's nest, and when the stew was finished, I would serve Master Lian to eat."

"That's good. I thought Master Lian didn't like it. Hahaha, that's because I didn't do my job well."

"How can I blame you, blame me..."

The two of them walked back with their things, and Xia Lei stopped apologetically when they were still some distance away from Canglan Courtyard.

He said with some regret: "I can only send you here, Canglan Courtyard is not convenient for me to go in, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for you..."

Dong Xue hurriedly said: "No need, this is enough, thank you Brother Xia Lei for thinking about me."

"Hey, thank you for what you say, it's a matter of duty."

Xia Lei put the things in his hands together with those in Dong Xue's, and arranged them together: "It's done, take it easy."

Dongxue took it with both hands, and he let it go when he caught it firmly, and said: "It's not far from here, I'd rather walk slowly, and don't worry, when I get to the gate, I will ask someone to pick up some for you, be careful. Got it?"

"Well, I got it, brother Xia Lei, you really look like my brother." Dong Xue replied with a smile, her heart warmed.

Although he and Sister Xia Liu both have the surname Xia, they gave her different feelings. Xia Lei really cared about her like her brother, and gave her a very warm feeling, making her feel a little closer than Sister Xia Liu. Sister Xia Liu...

Xia Lei smiled honestly, and reached out to pat her head: "Then let me be your brother, go, I will watch you go back."

Dong Xue responded, turned around and walked towards the Canglan Courtyard. After walking a long way, when she turned her head and saw Xia Lei was still there, she couldn't help smiling brightly.

Xia Lei also smiled and nodded to her, and she turned back to continue walking.

It wasn't until the person disappeared before his eyes that the smile on Xia Lei's face disappeared.

Under the shade of the tree, his expression was a little cold, the emotion in his eyes was hard to see, and there was a cup lid hidden in his hand...

In the Canglan Courtyard, Lianhua was smiling, leading Xiaoqing around with her hands behind her back, nodding incessantly.

Nanny Qi drove her out, and she was instructing people to decorate the side hall at this time.

Walking to those fields, she felt a little pain from the composted crop poles.

In previous years, she and Xiaoqing would bury these crop poles in the mud and wait for them to rot. In the coming year, the land will be fertile, better than manure. This is what Xiaoqing said, and it is true.

Seeing her distress, Xiaoqing couldn't help pointing to these places and asked: "Master, shouldn't this area be planted with peach trees, apricot trees and pear trees next spring? Isn't that area to be planted with plum trees and sweet-scented osmanthus trees?"

Lianhua remembered and clapped her hands: "That's right, it should have been cleaned up earlier, I forgot to think about it first, it's useless to stay here, there's no need to fatten those grasses."
