The only favorite Qing Palace: Concubine Xi An

Chapter 278 First Snow
In the early winter of October, flakes of snowflakes were thrown down eloquently.

It was an afternoon, which was really surprising.Just as Lan Xin ordered someone to replace the wormwood sachet on the beam, she saw snowflakes in the sky.

In the past, it snowed mostly at night.It is cold at night, so it is naturally easier to snow.

But I never thought that this time it was snowflakes in the afternoon.

"It's snowing." Lan Xin was on the porch, so she said to Yuxiu behind her, "Tell them to move more quickly. By the way, let the small kitchen boil ginger soup, and each of them will take a bowl later."

When it snows, it is the coldest.The wormwood sachet has already been prepared, and since it is ready to be hung up now, there is naturally no delay.

"Yes." Yuxiu agreed, and hurriedly called the little maid beside her to go to the small kitchen to give instructions.

"Have you prepared everything for the winter?" Lan Xin said, "Whatever the old calendar was in previous years, it will be the same this year. It's cold at night, so don't let the night watchmen freeze."

Yuxiu smiled and said: "We all know that you are the most considerate of us, Ce Fujin. These things have been prepared a long time ago. The charcoal fires in each yard have also been prepared."

Lan Xin nodded, and then said in particular: "Especially in the Cuiyu Pavilion, don't be short of Ruyan."

Although there was indeed something strange about what happened that day, Imperial Physician Zhang also went to explain it to Fourth Master afterwards.But Hongjue's death was an irreversible fact.

Although Ruyan's foot restraint has been lifted, Fujin still does not allow Ruyan to see Hongyu.

Although the fourth master knew about this, but thinking that Fujin also felt sorry for Hongyu, Ruyan could only endure for a while.

These problems between them always have to be resolved slowly.

Thinking about it, Lan Xin said again: "Winter is here, so get ready for cooking mutton?"

Lan Xin's only favorite in winter is to cook mutton.

When she cooks hot-boiled mutton once, everyone in the yard can enjoy it.

A bowl of mutton soup in winter really makes people feel refreshed physically and mentally.

"Ci Fujin don't worry." Yuxiu said again: "Your affairs, servants can remember more clearly than their own affairs. The matter of boiling mutton has been ordered a long time ago. As long as there is something suitable, we can cook it and eat it .”

This mouthful, Yuxiu also really likes it.

Whenever Lan Xin cooks hot-boiled mutton, there will always be some left in the small kitchen, and Yuxiu and Huan Pei can sit around and eat for a week.

Looking at the snowflakes floating outside, Lan Xin wrapped her body in a big cloak and went into the house.

Two pots of charcoal fire were lit in the house, which was really warm.Lan Xin sat on the edge of the charcoal basin and warmed her hands, then asked Lan Xin about Hongli again.

The difference between Hongli and Hongshi is that Hongli did not leave Lan Xin to live in the front yard.

Whenever it was night, Huan Pei would come back with Hongli.In addition, Huan Pei helped Lan Xin take care of everything about Hongli in the front yard.

In this Beiyuan, only Huan Pei and Nanny Li are the only ones who can make Lan Xin feel at ease in doing things.

But Nanny Li couldn't get away from taking care of Jinghua, so naturally Hongli could only be taken care of by Huan Pei.

But Yuxiu listened to Lan Xin asking about Hongli, and said: "The servant only knows that Mr. Cheng praised the intelligence of the fourth elder brother. As for other things, you should ask sister Huanpei?"

Lan Xin smiled and said nothing more.On the contrary, after working beside the charcoal fire for a long time, the whole person was coaxed by the fire and felt a little sleepy.

"Just now I was very energetic after eating, so I went out for a walk. Sure enough, I was sleepy when I came back to enjoy the fire." Lan Xin said: "It's still early, shall I go to sleep for half an hour? Remember to call Wake me up!"

On this day, Lan Xin asked Geng Gege to come over to play chess.If Geng Gege came later and Lan Xin was still asleep, that would be bad!

"Yes." Yuxiu replied, and then put Lan Xin on the bed.

Next to the bed, there are rabbit wool slippers made by Geng Gege.It was newly made in late autumn this year, and it is very comfortable to wear.

Lan Xin looked at the slippers, praised Geng Gege in her heart, and then lay down on the bed.

About an hour later, when Lan Xin just got up, Geng Gege brought Hong Zhou over.

Because of the cold weather, both Geng Gege and Hong Zhou held two Tang Pozi in their hands.Tang Pozi has some patterns embroidered on it, which is very beautiful.

In the past, when Geng Gege saw Mrs. Tang here for the first time during the winter, he was dumbfounded.

It was placed in a copper pot.Put the hot water that has just been boiled in. It is very hot at first, but it cools down quickly.

After Geng Gege discovered this shortcoming, he made a "clothes" for the hand pot out of cloth.In this way, the time to keep warm is naturally much longer.

"So, modern things are better."

Thinking of this, Geng Gege stepped over the door of the main house and walked in.

In the room, Lan Xin just put on her slippers and got up, casually picked up a book and leaned on the imperial concubine chair to read.

Hearing Luliu's report that Geng Gege brought Hong Zhou with him, he was startled and hurriedly tidied up his appearance!
This is in front of the child, how can it be so lazy!

After Hongzhou came in with Geng Gege, seeing Lan Xin, he immediately walked over and said, "Lan Fujin, I also want to study with fourth brother."

Hong Zhou said, still looking very aggrieved.

Since Hongli went to the front yard these few days, Hongzhou's life is much more boring than before.

Without his elder brother playing with him, Hong Zhou would always feel that he has nothing to do and doesn't know what to play.

Lan Xin touched Hongzhou's head, saw that Geng Gege also had a helpless expression, and comforted her, "If your Ama disagrees, I can't do anything about it. Both of them promised to wait for you to grow up a little bit, then you will be able to do so." Can I follow your fourth brother?"

Having said that, Hong Zhou was still not very happy.

"Later, shall I pick up fourth brother?" Hong Zhou tugged on La Lanxin's skirt and said, "I haven't seen fourth brother for a long time, I really miss fourth brother!"

Lan Xin nodded before expressing her agreement.

The relationship between the two brothers is so good, Lan Xin is naturally very happy.

After about an hour and a half, it was time for Hongli to come back.Lan Xin took Geng Gege and Hong Zhou together, and arrived at the hanging flower gate at the junction of the front yard and the back yard.

Not long after standing still, Lan Xin's neck shrank.

When the wind blows, the snowflakes pour straight into the neck, which is cool and makes people feel shivering.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he saw Hongli walking towards the inner courtyard as expected.

Seeing Hongli approaching, Hongzhou rushed over and pulled Hongli past him, and said very affectionately, "Is it cold, fourth brother? I'll give you the hand stove, so don't freeze."

Although Hongli's ears were already red from the cold at this time, how could he take his brother's things!He said: "It's not cold, you'd better take this hand stove!"

Hong Zhou heard his brother's "order".Nature will not refuse.As soon as he took the hand stove back, he took Hongli's hand and walked back happily all the way.
