Difficulty concubine

Chapter 202

Time flies, and two months have passed in a blink of an eye. On this day, the first snowfall in Kyoto also ushered in.

Because Jiao Niang was injured twice before and after, she inevitably hurt her roots, so she fell into the problem of being afraid of the cold. After winter, she nestled in the inner room all day long, and even put several charcoal basins in the room. If it was not enough, I would bury a few Tang Pozi in the soft quilt every time, and I would never leave the hand stove all day long.

Yinbao was wearing a thick jacket, with a food box in his hand, and lifted the heavy curtain to enter the room, bringing a cloud of cold air, and the biting cold wind came in along with the raised curtain, making the sidelines Jin Bao in his hand couldn't help shrinking back, hissing.

"It's too cold today. It's just a snowfall that can freeze a person to death. I don't know how to do it in the future." Yin Bao stomped his feet, shrunk his neck, and took the hand stove that Jin Bao handed over. He warmed his hands, but he didn't go to serve Jiaoniang, he just said: "Hurry up and spread the food, I won't go there first, so as not to let the master suffer from the cold."

Jin Bao nodded, carried the food box into the inner room, and asked with a smile: "Master, can we still eat in the inner room today?"

Jiao Niang was casually covered with a sable fur cloak, covering herself tightly, with her arms outside, she was holding a brass cloisonné enamel hand stove with lotus pond lotus pattern and begonia pattern. She nodded first, then She curled her lips and said, "If you don't eat, it's too cold today."

"Why don't you drink a bowl of old duck soup to warm your body? Or let the kitchen get a copper pot, use that fragrant old soup to boil mutton and vegetables, and warm your body." Jin Bao asked softly.

Jiaoniang just felt so cold, she didn't want to leave the kang at all, she just nodded indiscriminately: "Whatever you want! Just get a copper pot! Remember to ask the cook to put some dried chili peppers." Then, she complained again Get up: "There is no way to fire in this winter. If it is so cold, let someone start digging one out. Otherwise, I won't be cold to death."

After Jin Bao ordered the little maid, he said with a smile: "What the master said is that this year is extremely cold, if not, how many charcoal basins should be placed in the room?"

Jiao Niang looked at the four charcoal basins around the heated kang, coughed, and said, "Forget it, just four are enough to smoke people, if you put a few more, there is no way to put people in this room. It's better to get a Tang Pozi."

Jin Bao looked at the bulging places under the sable fur cloak, laughed, and said: "Master, there is no room for this kang to fit anymore, if not, you get on the couch, and the servant will let someone pour some more ?”

"No, it's so cold." Jiao Niang shook her head, her small moist mouth curled up, and asked, "Where is Yinbao! Let her come over and crack the walnuts for me."

"Where does her cold air dare to come over, I'd better give you a knock!" Jin Bao said softly, and saw Tong Xi coming from the hall holding a small bowl of peeled sweet almonds.

"Forget about your craftsmanship! None of the walnuts knocked out are whole." Tong Xi said with a smile, and put the sweet almonds on the small table, and then said: "Master, eat some sweet almonds! It not only nourishes the lungs, but also eliminates winter dryness." As he said, he poured another bowl of pear soup with honey juice and handed it over: "Master, moisten your throat!"

Jiao Niang didn't stretch out her hands, but only raised her chin, and Tong Xi pressed the porcelain bowl to her lips, then opened her red lips, and after taking a few sips with the edge of the bowl in her mouth, her powdery little face turned to one side .

Tong Xi put the porcelain bowl on the small table, picked up the sweet almonds with thin silver chopsticks, put them into the mouth of Jiao Niang, and said in his mouth: "Master, I'd better drink a few more mouthfuls of pear soup, slave girl look at you I have been coughing for a few days."
