The world is heavy and late

Chapter 225 Xin Xian
Like Xu Zhong and Xia Qing, they were both yearning day and night, eager to see through.

However, Xu Zhong's longing is deep, not showing mountains and dews, only still waters flowing deep.However, Xia Qing's thoughts can be seen at a glance, everywhere, so that people can know it at a glance.

The point is, Xia Qing stayed up late again tonight, not only tonight, but also for several days, probably because she let her thoughts indulge and piled up her desk.

Xia Qing: ... Beauty deceives people, and the ancients did not deceive me.

It was already five days after Qiao Huan prepared the things. Although the Secretary of Affairs had ready-made ones, Xia Qing was used to spending money on them to make something different from others as required.

Well, it should be regarded as a way of expressing guilty conscience.

She knew that she was extremely poor in this aspect. In the past, when she was at home or as a court lady, she could learn to sew and mend by herself, but the people in the countryside didn't have any outstanding craftsmanship or extra cloth to give Xia Qing spoil.

When you arrive in the imperial city, you don't have to make the maid's clothes yourself. The secretary of affairs has prepared them early in the morning. You can wear them in spring and summer, and in autumn and winter. If you want to do the rest, you can pay for it yourself. Xia Qing grew up poor, From being poor to now, it seems that she was not born rich, of course she can't afford to train herself, so she reluctantly relies on her handicrafts to sew, and Wu Xiaoyuan is often by her side to help her.

When she became the aunt in charge, Qiao Huan helped at first, and later she brought Qiao Huan by her side as her right-hand man, and other little maids were in charge of these matters. She never took needle and thread again, and her craftsmanship has been stinking to this day. .

The clothes, shoes and socks of the father, brother and elders also depend on others. Xia Qing suddenly felt a sense of crisis when she thought about it. Now that she is still earning money, what should she do if she leaves the palace in the future?It's what she wants to eat and die, but she can't get the money for everything.

Xia Qing sighed deeply, feeling that her life was miserable, otherwise everyone would be worried about her love career, why did she get here, and she would just think about how to fill her stomach every day, if she could take away all these things in the palace That's good, with what Gu Weiyun gave her every day, she can be considered a rich person.

Qiao Huan didn't understand why Xia Qing looked at these things and suddenly began to sigh, so Chi asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with these things?"

Xia Qing shook her head heavily, looked at the things in the room, and secretly made up her mind that when she went out, she must take all these things with her, as she didn't have much money in her hand.

Seeing Xia Qing shaking her head, Qiao Huan stopped asking questions and stayed with her all day long. She already understood that Xia Qing's thoughts were far beyond human reach, at least no one could be in a daze in front of the empress.

So she changed the topic very discerningly: "Auntie, shall we visit Manager Xu today?"

Xia Qing nodded. She had already looked and looked at the roster in the palace, but she couldn't find the one she wanted. The ones who were capable and famous had been taken away by those spirits, and there were not many others she could call. What deserves her name, after all, is that she moves too much. In these details, she is far less handy than these people.

The people around her are still too young. Qiao Huan, Xiang Cang, Sun Yu and even Gu Weiyun have only been in the palace for ten years at most, but in the past five years, Xiang Cang was just hanging around in those crowds. Who taught him how to get there? To see whether a person is useful or not, he only sees who can't be messed with.

Fortunately, she has Xu Zhong, and fortunately, she, who was so independent back then, would actually want to help Xu Zhong find a backer, and it was destined to be the same.

Xia Qing didn't take anyone else with him. He and Qiao Huan took these things and went to the inner guard's side. The whole courtyard on the easternmost side was the three of Xu Ji's master and apprentice. Xu He was not far from them, and there were also It's a small courtyard. After all, he is now the head of the Department of Ceremonies. It's not surprising that there is a single courtyard. Besides, who in the palace doesn't know that Xu He is worshiping under Xu Li's family?
For Xia Qing's arrival, both Xu He and Xu Li expressed joy. The emperor left the palace, which saved Xu Li from serving in front of the imperial court every day, and the Secretary of Rites also had Xu He's help, so he couldn't be too comfortable.

Although Xu Li himself didn't feel the difference, he still felt it, Xia Qing's envy when he saw him leaning on the chair basking in the sun.

In this season, you should put on a blanket, just like Xu Li, you can bask in the lazy sun without worrying about the biting cold wind, after all, you are covered with a woolen blanket to keep you warm!
The thoughts in Xia Qing's heart started when he saw Xu Li, and they never stopped anyway.

She was not envious of this woolen blanket, Gu Weiyun had sent someone to bring her a goose down blanket a long time ago. Although it was only so big, he only chose the softest and whitest point under the neck of the goose, and it took an unknown number of big geese. Only then can it be obtained, the cover is soft but warm, Xia Qing can't put it down.

But she doesn't have such free time as Xu Li, and now she and Aunt Qiu are the busiest in the harem.

Although Qiao Huan and Xu He felt Xia Qing's emotions, they both lowered their heads and did not speak.

Xu Li could only stand up first and ask, "Why is Sister Xia here today?"

The things in Xia Qing's hands had already been carried by Xu He, probably acquaintances, and no one thought of calling a servant to come in and help out.

"I'll take a look at the master. It's almost New Year's Eve. I have prepared some things for you. Why did you lie down like this?"

Facing the acquaintance, Xu Li rubbed his neck in embarrassment and smiled a bit, but it seemed that he had grown a lot compared to before, and his naivety was halved, and this gesture actually looked youthful.

"Thank you, sister. The master went to the Chongwen Museum. He is now with the prince. I guess you will have to wait to see him."

Xu He took a glance from behind and said to the two who were talking in the courtyard: "Master Xu, why don't you ask someone to serve tea to the two aunts first?"

Xu Li realized that it didn't matter if he stayed all the time, but Xia Qing actually stood with him in the cold wind for so long, so he hurriedly said, "Sister Xia, go in first, it's windy outside, be careful."

Xia Qing smiled, and followed Xu Li into the room. Xu He winked at the servant at the door. Naturally, some people got busy, and the four of them sat by the fire and started chatting.

Xia Qing pulled Qiao Huan's bundle, found one and threw it to Xu Li, saying, "This is yours. They are all clothes, shoes and socks. You can take them back later."

Then he found another one and asked Qiao Huan to pass it to Xu He and said, "There are some gauze tents inside, all made by Si Wusi, and some spices. I heard that you have settled down and bought a house, so I thought I would buy it." Renovate and decorate it, it is just right to smoke it with spices, I heard from my father-in-law that the house bought from the Yaren does not taste very good, although the furnishings inside are complete but old, it is time to change."

Xu Li thanked him naturally after receiving the package. Since the matter of Xu Zhong became clear, Xia Qing sent a lot of things here throughout the year, but few people came here. After all, he was still in the palace, so it was inconvenient some.

Xu He was surprised. Although he also received things on weekdays, he thought that he just asked the people around him to send him a copy by the way. He didn't expect that after hearing today, the things sent in the past were also arranged by Aunt Xia herself. , He took the burden and paused for a while before saying: "Thank you, Auntie, Auntie has a heart."

Seeing the tea brought in by the waiter, he just stood up and served tea to the three of them before returning to his seat.

Xia Qing picked up the teacup, held it in his hand to warm it, and said nonchalantly, "It's a small matter, I didn't even give you a gift when you moved in. Besides, you have saved my life."

Xu He paused, this life-saving grace is better not to be missed, he still has lingering fears about Master Xu's expression last time.

As soon as Xia Qing said that, seeing that the expressions of the other three people were not very good, she took a sip of tea silently. She didn't expect Xu Zhong to be so angry, okay?
She quickly changed the subject and said, "Master has been following the prince? What about Eunuch Ding?"
