After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

After Xiao became an abandoned child, the only person she could rely on was herself.

After building the snowman, Zhou Qinghe searched around the courtyard and finally found Lao Wu in the yard that was temporarily used to accommodate the wounded and sick.

She originally wanted to find someone to question.

However, she discovered that even if she was free and no longer had to pour night fragrance, no one in the villa was willing to pay attention to her.

No matter where they are, servants are the ones who know their masters' preferences best.

Zhou Qinghe made a mistake and was imprisoned, and was not released until today.

Who would care about her?

She wanted to use the same old trick again and win people's hearts with small favors.

Unfortunately, on the way to the villa, all her belongings were confiscated by Qin Yaoguang, and she didn't have a single extra penny on her, so she was powerless.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Zhou Qinghe saw Lao Wu who was guarding a row of stoves.

For safety reasons, this row of stoves were placed on the snow outside the kitchen, lined up in a row, with seven or eight of them.

Different Chinese medicines are boiled on each one.

In addition to Lao Wu, there were two other servants watching the fire and adding firewood from time to time.

Because the weather was cold, Lao Wu sat on a small stool with his hands in his pockets, and his little face was frozen red.

It seems that the woman is not as good to these children as rumored. She is just doing it for her reputation and to show off to others.

Great opportunity.

After observing for a while, Zhou Qinghe's eyes turned and he walked up with a smile.

"Fifth Master, it's so cold, why are you here watching the stove?"

Zhou Qinghe put himself in the right position and spoke respectfully.

"How about I go talk to His Highness and ask him to let you come in and warm up for a while?"

While speaking, he did not forget to flatter Qin Yaoguang.

In the past, whenever she said this, she would receive Lao Wu's grateful look, and he would expect her to plead for mercy.

However, at this moment, Lao Wu only looked at her in surprise and asked, "Did mother let you out?"

What is mother doing?

Second brother said that Zhou Qinghe was not a good person, so why did he let her go?

Lao Wu frowned and looked at her with disgust.

Zhou Qinghe felt a little embarrassed when he asked her such a rude question.

It doesn’t matter if I can’t deal with Qin Yaoguang.

Who made her hold her cards? He was much older and more prestigious than her, so it was normal for her to lose.

But the fifth one.

She just didn't believe that a little boy from ancient times was only five years old.

Zhou Qinghe smiled awkwardly: "Fifth Young Master, it was just a misunderstanding. Now that it has been resolved, His Highness will of course let me out."

Lao Wu glanced at her and was about to say something when wisps of white steam came out of a pot of medicine being boiled in one of the stoves in front of him.

He ignored Zhou Qinghe and grabbed one of the herbs from the basket at his feet.

Use a small scale to measure eight cents, then wrap it in cloth, open the medicine jar, and put the measured herbs in.

His movements were skillful and did not seem like something he was capable of at his age.

Seeing this, Zhou Qinghe hurriedly said in a distressed tone: "There are so many people in the yard, how could I bear to let you look at the stove?"

"What if I get burned accidentally?"

She walked up to Lao Wu and whispered, "Why don't I take you to play in my yard? No one will know."

"I made a really big snowman. I guarantee you've never seen one. It's super cute! Let's go make a snowman!"

Zhou Qinghe felt that after she said so much, Lao Wu would definitely be very moved.

Which child would like to sit by and boil medicine instead of playing in the snow?

Unexpectedly, after Lao Wu closed the medicine jar, he turned around and looked at her with disgust.

How would you describe that look?

It's like looking at an idiot.

"Five, five young masters?"

Things were so weird that Zhou Qinghe began to feel more and more uneasy.

"Miss Zhou, can't you see that I'm making medicine?!"

Lao Wu pointed at the medicine jar and said crisply, "How can you let me go out and play without caring about anything? Isn't that too irresponsible!"

"Besides, did you know that there are many things to pay attention to when decocting medicine? Different medicinal properties require different soaking times, and the decocting time also varies."

Lao Wu pointed to the second stove on the left and said, "For this one, you need to decoct them separately, then combine the decoctions from both decocts, bring them to a boil, and then simmer for another quarter of an hour."

"For this medicine, you need to add eight cents of white hyacinth when it is just boiling."

He volunteered to decoct the medicine. He knew exactly which medicine to boil first among the eight stoves in a row, which one should be added with the herbs later, when to add water and when the boiling was done.

After saying this in one breath, Lao Wu looked at Zhou Qinghe with pride.

He looked at her again as if she were an idiot: "Go away, don't disturb me while I'm boiling the medicine."

"Crack, snap, snap!"

The third brother clapped his hands again and again, walked out of a room and walked towards Zhou Qinghe.

Zhou Qinghe looked at him and couldn't help but take two steps back.

Beside him, Holly was holding a medicine basket.

Dong Qing was not a person who liked to ask questions, and he had never had any contact with Zhou Qinghe before, so he didn't know why she showed up.

She has lived in the palace for many years and is very good at observing people's words and expressions.

Sensitively aware of the two children's dislike for Zhou Qinghe, she lowered her eyes, walked to the stove, and took out two medicine bowls from the medicine basket.

Focus on your work and ignore gossip.

The third brother walked up to the fifth brother and gave him a thumbs up: "Well said!"

"Although we are young, we are not like some people who are nine years old and only think about playing."

Zhou Qinghe felt hot on the face and embarrassed after being scolded by him in a roundabout way.

what's the situation?

Now, she can’t even handle the youngest child?

After being praised by his third brother, the fifth brother raised his chin, vividly demonstrating what the word "proud face" means.

He stood in front of the row of stoves, looking as imposing as the king of the mountain, and the eight stoves were his younger brothers.

The sand in the clepsydra flows silently.

"Sister Dongqing, the third jar of medicine on the right is ready. You can pour it out and let it dry."

Lao Wu put his hands on his hips, looking very commanding.

"The first one on the left, take out two pieces of firewood, just a small fire."

"Be careful, it's hot."

The servants were ordered around by Lao Wu and he didn't have to do anything himself.

Zhou Qinghe then realized that it was just a coincidence that no one was there just now, and it was not what she thought. Lao Wu had been assigned a difficult task and had to stay here.

The third brother stood with his hands folded.

This is Lao Wu's territory. He saw Zhou Qinghe coming to support Lao Wu and did not interfere blindly.

The sunlight cast a shadow on his long eyelashes, and the snow was reflected on his handsome face, as cold as an ice sculpture.

Zhou Qinghe moved quietly.

She always felt that no matter what the third brother did, it would not surprise anyone.

It’s better to leave early.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step, she was frozen by the cold gaze of the third brother.

"Zhou Qinghe."

His voice was cold, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife.
