History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

Well, in fact, she treats fourth master like a subordinate treats her boss. She really doesn't have any special feelings, at most, this job is a little special.

She's not the kind of person who gets tired of it. If the fourth master comes, he will entertain him well. If he doesn't come, she will have fun by herself, which is equivalent to finding a long-term partner.

The special experience of the two lifetimes has worn out her little innocence, and she has become accustomed to entertaining herself within the fixed rules.

What's more, she is crazy to expect to find love in ancient times.

In this life, she only hopes to live a simple life, whether to marry someone else, or to be a princess for the fourth master, as long as it can keep her safe for the rest of her life.

What's more, this master is the winner in the future, she doesn't like change, and following such a master can also save her from worrying about her future situation.

In the blink of an eye, a month later, Min Ning had a clear understanding of the general situation in the backyard. Currently, Fujin has the upper hand in this backyard, but Li Gege cannot be underestimated. After all, he gave birth to a son and a daughter for the fourth master. Song Gege.As for the other concubines, there is no need to mention them, the next ones are Minning and Nalashi.

The Nala clan is the Yehenara clan. Gein taboo, the Yehe branch omits the prefix outside, the same Nala clan also has the Fujin branch, and the Fujin branch belongs to the Ulamara clan.

Nala didn't know whether it was because she was still young or because of other reasons, she usually hid in the house and couldn't come out, she was even more homebound than Minning.

At least Minning would come back early to pick some flower petals and make rouge and gouache for his own entertainment.

And fourth master, he only spends ten or so days in the backyard this month, and spends the rest of the time alone in the study.

Since fourth master wandered in the backyard, in those ten days, he came to her yard for one or two days, so in other people's eyes, Minning was regarded as a favorite, and no one neglected him for a while.

As soon as May was over, the palace began to get busy for the Dragon Boat Festival, making rice dumplings, planting mugwort on the eaves, etc., and the fourth master was going to accompany the emperor to pray for blessings and disaster relief, so the elder brother's house became much quieter, only the people in the kitchen were busy.

Not only did the imperial dining room cook zongzi, but even the small kitchens of the main seats also cooked zongzi, and elder brother's place was no exception.

Zongzi wrapped in reed leaves, filled with red bean paste, pine nuts, dates, walnuts and so on.

Minning divided each stuffing into two, but she only tried the red bean stuffing and stopped eating.

Compared with these, she still likes white rice dumplings, which have no fillings. The glutinous rice is washed, soaked, and wrapped in reed leaves. When eating, dip it in sugar or drizzle a little honey. It is the most wonderful enjoyment.

Thinking about it, the time in Yangzhou did not change, at least she was used to the taste there.

Fujin accompanied Concubine De to Shichahai to watch the race, and those of them with low status are naturally not qualified to accompany them. Hearing that Li Gege made a big fire in the house, it quickly spread in the yard, which made Minning awe-inspiring and understand There are no secrets in this palace.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The cicadas outside the courtyard no matter whether it is day or night, there are little maids and eunuchs standing under the tree with a bamboo pole dipped in tree oil. Zhiyu, at noon this day, Minning was woken up by the heat and disturbed by the noise.

Biying came in with an ice bowl. The ice bowl was lined with crushed ice, and white lotus root slices, cored lotus seeds, water chestnut, almonds, walnut kernels, candied fruit, melon, etc. were placed on top of the ice bowl, and then sugar was sprinkled on the ice plate. Put it inside and wait for the ice bowl to cool completely before serving it up.

Minning is very happy with this kind of dessert, but it is a pity that he only eats it after lunch break every day.

"Gege, wait a few days for your ice to come down."

There are so many masters in the palace, and there is not enough ice. For a little Gege in Baylor like Minning, he knows how much ice he gets.

Under the service of Biying, Minning wiped his face and neck with a sweat towel dipped in cool well water, and when he relaxed a bit, he sat on the couch and tasted the ice bowl. After one bowl, it finally disappeared. In the heat of summer, my impetuous heart calmed down a little.

However, after tugging on the flag uniform on his body and wrapping him tightly like a sack, Minning's calm heart became agitated again.

She asked Biying to come over by her ear, and said something in a low voice, but Biying was puzzled, so she stepped back and obeyed.

Not long after, she came over with a piece of stone blue silk, which was used to make silk tents. It was very thin and somewhat transparent, and she brought it back not long ago.

Mosquitoes have appeared now, and we could have made silk tents right away, but the sewing room where my elder brother works is busy with Fujin and Li Gege's work, and I don't know when it will be their turn.

Minning drew a pattern on the paper, absorbing the four-faced drawing with a soft brush last time, this time she specially used the eyebrow pencil to dip the Tongdai drawing, anyway, she didn't like the Tongdai so she used it for waste up.

Minning's painting is so simple that people can understand it at a glance, but Biying can't explain it in words, "Gege, do you really want to make the clothes like this?"

Minning replied casually, "Of course, you don't want your master to die from the heat, do you? Don't worry, you can do it anyway, I only wear it indoors."

What Min Ning asked to do was a modern suspender skirt, which hung loosely down to the calves. Because the workmanship was simple, it took only an hour to draw it.She tried it immediately, and felt that it would be better if the obscene clothes and trousers were also changed.

All of a sudden, her desire to create increased greatly, and she asked if there was any cotton cloth in Biying's warehouse.

"There are two bolts of Songjiang cotton cloth."

Min Ning clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "Then bring one here first."

Biying complied with a bitter face.

The cotton cloth was brought back, and this time Mo Shu also followed, saying that he heard that the master was making clothes, so he came to help.

As soon as she came in, she saw Minning's strange clothes, first took a deep breath, and said in horror: "Ge Ge, you can't show people this kind of clothes!"

Minning quickly said, "Don't worry, I only wear it when I sleep, and I will never wear it out of the door at ordinary times."

Mo Shu calmed down a little, but he still couldn't understand the behavior of making the bellyband bigger and wearing it directly on the body.

Together with Biying, under Minning's guidance, they made bras and briefs. Because there is no rubber band, they are directly made into lace-up styles. As for the bra lining, they are directly peeled with willow branches, rolled into a circle, fixed in water, boiled and dried in the sun. Minning gave it a try, but there was basically nothing to change.

The bust that looked straight up in a bra made the two maids blush.Biying shyly advised Minning to take off her clothes and let them wash them before changing.

Minning changed back to the sack of obscene clothes, and hurriedly directed the two of them, "Make ten more bras and underwear each. When will they be ready, I will wear them differently."

Mo Shu took the order, "If you go back to Gege, you can make it if you give the slaves a night."

"Then it's not necessary. Let's make another set first, and then do it in the rest of the day, as long as I have to change and wash every day."

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and Minning received a lot of bras and underwear with various patterns embroidered on them, such as pomegranates, peonies, mandarin ducks playing in the water, and so on.

Minning looked at Mo Shu and exclaimed, "You are really ingenious."

Mo Shu lowered his head and said softly: "I dare not be praised by Ge Ge. These embroidery are all troubles to other sisters and sisters. The slaves just cut and sew them up."

Minning immediately looked at her differently, there are still people in this palace who don't take credit?

After thinking for a while, she said again: "The participating maids will each reward two taels of silver, and you will get five taels of silver."

Mo Shu immediately knelt down to thank him.

Instructing Biying to put away these clothes, Minning looked at the skirts again. They were all made of light and thin skirts. The upper part of these skirts has the style of cheongsam, and the style of Hanfu. She glanced at the style of Hanfu, but unfortunately it is now in the palace, and she knew that she would not be able to wear it in a short time.

Put away the clothes, these are all made of silk, spinning, brocade, silk, damask, yarn and other materials, without exception, the only characteristic is lightness and breathability.

These clothes came in a timely manner. At this time, the temperature outside was already enough to cause heatstroke, and the ice that was distributed to her also came down. Sure enough, there was not much.

Relying on this ice could not survive the summer, Minning wondered if he should get some saltpeter and make ice by himself?

The ice sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is only used to cool down and cannot be eaten. This is absolutely unbearable for Min Ning who feels that he has been wronged.

Thinking of the ice bowl, she wished she could have two meals a day plus snacks for supper.

It's a pity that the kitchen is all done on a fixed basis, so there is no way to add money.

Ice making with saltpeter has existed since ancient times, but the cost is high. Compared with the no-cost business of taking ice from the river in winter, the latter is naturally more popular with the rulers.

This makes ice-making with saltpeter, which started in the Song Dynasty, somewhat lonely.

But Minning only wanted to use it for himself, so he could afford it, but where to get the saltpeter and how to bring it into the palace was a problem.

After all, saltpeter is an important material for making gunpowder, and it is more or less under the control of the court. It seems that there is little hope of getting saltpeter into the palace. Minning rolled on the beauty's couch, turned up her clothes, and accidentally exposed her fair thighs. Tilting your head and facing the wall with a sad face, why is it so difficult to get something to eat?

It just so happened that the weather was hot that day, and it was rare for fourth master to come back early after finishing his errands. His physique was not resistant to heat, and he felt very sad when summer came.

Back in the yard, he just wanted to find a quiet place to stay. Both Fujin and Li Gege had children, and he thought it was noisy, so he left after visiting. He originally wanted to find a place to rest, but unexpectedly, there was nowhere to go for a while.

At this thought, I thought of An Gege who had just entered the mansion. This An Gege was honest, good-looking, but not arrogant at all.Compared with Li Gege, who has been spoiled for several years and is a bit confused about his identity and dares to challenge Fujin's majesty, he is more in his favor.

Thinking of this, fourth master turned his feet and went to the courtyard to the north.

As soon as he entered the door, he found something was wrong, and all the waiters in the room were kicked out. He stopped the maid who wanted to speak out, ignored the dejected expression of the other party, opened the curtain and walked in with an unfathomable expression.

As soon as he entered, Fourth Master saw the scene on the couch, that Bai Shengsheng's thigh directly hit his eyeballs, making his eyelids twitch.
