Naier's brows furrowed slightly when she heard this, but she still bowed to Qiao Yuyan in a polite manner, "Madam, please give me your instructions!"
"It has been a sunny day these past few days, and the frost in the morning has been very thick. I plan to take some of the frost and bury it to make pine frost tea next year. You can collect some of the frost on the pine leaves for me in the morning.
Bar!"
Then he turned to Pinlan and said, "Find a little girl to go with her."
Do you want her to get some frost on this winter morning?
Naier was stunned, what else are you making tea for? Isn't this deliberately embarrassing?
Qiao Yuyan turned to Naier with a smile, "This matter has to be done carefully. It must be clean and uncontaminated frost. Use bamboo strips to scrape the frost directly into the porcelain vase. When it is full, I will bury it under the flower roots and wait until midsummer next year.
Take it out and the tea brewed will be called sweet!
Pinlan and Qixi can't get away from each other, and I'm worried about others. I've seen you do things very well these past few days. After thinking about it, I think you are suitable for this job."
She had said so, what else could Naier say, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and accept the job.
Qiao Yuyan asked Pinlan to find two more cloaks for her, "I have too many cloaks. These two materials are well used. They are made of rabbit fur and I have never worn them on my body. I will give them to you too! Big
Don’t be cold in the morning.”
Nair knows what's good. She knows that the two cloaks are made of good materials and the fur is good, so she will not refuse them. The dissatisfaction in her heart just now has dissipated a little.
But when she appeared in the pine forest in the morning, she still had a lot of complaints in her heart.
On such an early morning, no one came to the garden except for the old ladies who were doing hard work. Who is the second-class maid in the garden who has to do such hard work?!
The little maid on the side couldn't help complaining, "It's true, madam, I heard that the best way to make tea is Yuquan water. Where have I heard of using frost?"
Besides, if the frost melts in a bottle and is taken out next year, can it still be used? It’s not like our family doesn’t have money, and my wife has a rich dowry. Isn’t it still difficult to buy some Yuquan water?”
Listening to her muttering to the side, Nel became even more angry.
She had been working in the sewing room before, and in order to win the favor of the people above her, she put a lot of effort into this embroidery.
Therefore, the most delicate work is done in the sewing room.
Since you are going to do embroidery, you need to take good care of your hands. Otherwise, if there are some rough spots on your hands, you will ruin things by accident.
Apart from her figure, what Nel is most satisfied with is her hands, but now in this cold winter, she actually has to stretch out her hands like this to do such a job.
And although the frost is thick, it is actually frost and not snow. Looking at a small porcelain bottle, it takes a lot of time to fill up a bottle.
Qiao Yuyan also said that once the sun rose, she couldn't ask for more. As a result, she couldn't get a full bottle the whole morning on the first morning.
After taking it back, Qiao Yuyan frowned and shook her head: "This bottle can't be empty, otherwise it will be buried underneath and it will stink when you take it out next year.
You must fill a bottle, then seal it and bury it before it is useful. It is a pity that this bottle is in vain. Naier, you may have to be more agile with your hands and feet tomorrow."
Hearing this, Naier was almost furious, but under Qiao Yuyan's gaze, she could only respond in a low voice.
The next day, I got up at the fourth watch and asked the little maid to hold the lantern and go out together.
The little maid was trembling so much that she almost cried, "Isn't this, madam, torturing people?! It's still dark everywhere! Is there a ghost?"
Naier was already in a bad mood, so she scolded her in a low voice, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tell my wife that you don't want to come out when you get back!"
The little maid immediately didn't dare to say anything anymore and just stamped her feet to keep warm.
More than two hours passed and a bottle of frost was finally filled. Nell felt that her hands were freezing, especially her knuckles.
When she came back, she showed it to Qiao Yuyan. After receiving a lot of praise, she gave her two bottles of ointment to protect her hands. "When you come back, put it on quickly. Don't hurt your hands. Just don't use it when you collect the cream, for fear of contamination."
odor."
Then while combing her hair on Chinese Valentine's Day, she gave the thing to Pinlan and said, "Go and bury it in the place I mentioned yesterday."
Seeing that nothing happened without her, Naier was about to leave, but Qiao Yuyan smiled again and said: "I know you are a meticulous person. I wronged you in the past. Please help me collect three or four bottles. Wait.
I will give you a pair of gold bracelets later."
Three or four more bottles left?!
Naier looked at Qiao Yuyan with wide eyes, but Qiao Yuyan was confused, "What's wrong?"
Only then did she realize that she had lost her composure, she quickly shook her head, responded in a low voice and retreated.
As soon as he went out, his beautiful face turned completely black.
Myolie happened to be passing by, and she smiled when she saw her, "What, I told you, as long as you work for my wife down-to-earth, are you still afraid that there will be no way out? Look, now you are liked by my wife.
?”
"Do you want this?" Nair immediately turned to look at her coldly, and then mocked, making Xing'er feel a little confused.
Seeing her entering the room, Xing'er thought for a moment and followed her, "Don't you have any other thoughts in your mind?"
Naier ignored her and sat directly in front of the mirror. He took out the box of balm Qiao Yuyan gave him, applied it carefully on his hands, and then massaged it gently until all the balm was absorbed.
"What's the idea?!"
Xing'er put down the things in her hands and walked into the room, "You have learned your lesson from what happened last time. The most important thing for us as servants is to know our identity. Why do you insist on coming here with your wife?
She is the master, we are slaves, and we should do our duty well. What's more, my wife has a good temper, so why do you keep clinging to your original thoughts?"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Naier looked at Xing'er in the mirror and felt that her pink and peach-cheeked face was particularly dazzling, "Am I not working hard? What? You
Are you jealous seeing how many things my wife has rewarded me with lately?"
Xing'er was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, "It's good if you can figure it out. I just told you in vain. After all, we came together and it's a passionate relationship."
After saying that, she walked out, her steps brisk, as if she had settled a matter on her mind.
Naier watched her figure in the mirror heading to Pinlan's house, and couldn't help but sneered.
What a boneless coward, she was willing to beg for mercy in exchange for some leftover bones, thinking that everyone else cared about those things as much as she did.
While Qiao Yuyan was sleeping and everyone in the yard was holding their breath, Naier dug out a few pieces of broken silver from his cabinet and sneaked out of the yard alone.
