Chapter 168 Staying in the open air
The attitude of the headmaster Hu and other headmasters were completely different, so she couldn't change for a while. As for whether it was true or false, she no longer valued it so much. Perhaps true or false, false or false is the psychological conditions that the palace should have, so she whispered: "The maid thanked the Lord first."
"You are polite to Master Song." Master Hu said with a smile: "But Song Xiao's main responsibility is, so I am disturbing him here, so I will say goodbye."
"Master Hu is easy to leave." Song Anle nodded in the back and signaled. She was not sure whether Master Hu intended to reveal her relationship with Gao Yuanshang, but everyone who knew about this had tied her and Gao Yuanshang closely together. This was undoubtedly the fact that she most reluctant to present to the outside world.
After learning that Song Anle was Gao Yuanshang's, the palace servants at the cloth dyeing shop couldn't help but feel awe of him, so they didn't dare to say anything like him, and they saw the sky before.
Because there were no sufficient abandoned vats, some dyes in some dyes had to be used up overnight. As the leader, Song Anle couldn't retreat first, so she arranged for some people with poor physical strength to go back and rest first. She and Hongzhu Meixin and two palace servants continued to make the work.
In the late night of the cold winter, the temperature turns into ice. Fortunately, the dye should be considered to not freeze during dyeing, so coal needs to be supplied. Otherwise, those who are rushing to make the product late at night will definitely be frozen into a person.
Mei Xin saw that Song Anle was busy and busy, probably in order to enhance the momentum of others, so she had to set an example. At this time, she walked over and said, "My master, please rest. If you have these left, let me hurry up and make it."
Although Song Anle was so weak that she could not support her, she would rather keep warming her body in this cold temperature than staying with her hands and feet. So she said calmly: "It's okay, there is not much dye left. After finishing her work early, everyone can rest early. Besides, only when she is busy can she not feel cold."
Having said that, Mei Xin had long felt the warmth after exercise, but her tired and sinking body still needed support, so she said deeply: "But it's late at night, and the little master will have to get up early tomorrow morning to report. If you don't sleep this night, how can you eat it?"
Song Anle said indifferently, "No problem, let's use up these dyes as soon as possible."
Mei Xin no longer insisted, so she just nodded far-fetchedly. At this time, a palace servant who might not be able to stand it said, "Or why don't we spend the remaining dyes, and there's nothing left."
Song Anle heard from the words of the palace maid that she could not bear it anymore. She and Mei Xinhongzhu looked at each other and said lightly: "Okay, our cloth is almost dyed. You two will go back and rest first. Thank you very much today. You don't have to come here early tomorrow. Health is important."
"I thank you little master, I will take my leave first." The two little palace ladies hurriedly retreated happily, as if afraid that Song Anle would repent temporarily.
Mei Xin was a little confused about Song Anle's intention, and giving up halfway did not seem to be her style of doing things, so she asked with a little unknown question: "My master, are you really planning to discard the remaining dye?"
"It's hard for them to work hard for now, so let's go back and rest first. At worst, we can work harder." If Song Anle knew that the palace people could not hold on, but still forced them to stay here, it would be too unkind, so she simply followed their proposal and let them go back with peace of mind.
Song Anle's intention is almost the same as Mei Xin's thoughts. She always gives the best to others and always thinks about others again and again. Even if she is a passerby who has never lived for life, she still puts herself in the last place. Perhaps this is the innate kindness of a person.
It was nearly four o'clock in the morning, and it was almost time for the palace ladders in the palace to get up. Song Anle, Mei Xin and Hongzhu were busy all the time before they got everything done. They had to wash the dye vat after using up the dye, and the dyed cloth had to dry it. After everything was done, they were exhausted.
Hongzhu looked at the sky. Although it was still dark, she seemed to be very proficient in the astronomical phenomena. Then she said in a blink of an eye: "My master, are we going back to rest?"
Song Anle also subconsciously looked at the sky. Although she could not see the time from the sky, she could estimate the approximate time from the consciousness. Moreover, the dawn in the cold winter has always come a little later, and they live far away, so it is also inconvenient to waste time back and forth.
So Song Anle said calmly again: "I'm afraid I won't be able to rest for long when I go back. Why don't we just put it here? What do you think?"
Mei Xin said in disagreement: "But the conditions here are limited, how can the little master suffer this grievance?"
In fact, Mei Xin just complained, how could she not know that it took a lot of time for them to go back, and it was too late, so they probably returned to the room, so they might not be able to wash and sleep well, and they would have to be called to work.
"This is not a grievance. Besides, there is no charcoal fire in the room, so it is much warmer than here." Song Anle had long discovered that the temperature here is higher than that in the room. Instead of going back far away, it would be better to just sit here, at least not have to go back to the warm and cold bed.
Mei Xin looked around. Although the temperature here prevailed, there was no thick bedding and it was still not comparable to the warm bedding. So she said again: "But we don't have bedding, so we can't just stay in the cold like this."
Song Anle also subconsciously looked around. In addition to dyeing vats, there were cloths, and the dark sky was also seen, with all the silent things. It was probably unlikely to find something to protect the warmth.
"This is easy to deal with." Hongzhu suddenly said inexplicably, which made Song Anle and Mei Xin look at her in surprise but unknown. At this time, she smiled and said, "Did you forget what we are doing?"
Song Anle thought about it suddenly and guessed Hongzhu's hint. Just to make sure, she said meaningfully: "Are you saying... use dyed cloth to make bedding?"
Hongzhu smiled indifferently, "Anyway, there are charcoal fires here, so let's pull a few pieces of cloth to cover it, which is better than being frozen."
Mei Xin suddenly realized it. She said in agreement: "This is a good way, what about the little idea?"
Song Anle naturally raised his hands to praise him. Life was already difficult, and she was already very satisfied to stay here. So she said happily: "Then let's do it like this, without further ado, let's clean up quickly and try to sleep for a few more hours before dawn."
"Okay, I'll find a few thick pieces of cloth now." Mei Xin hurriedly searched for the cloth without any negligence. Hongzhu found a place for the best shelter from the wind. She simply cleaned it up and spread it with the cloth that Mei Xin found.
The master and servant were just in the open world and set up a simple temporary bed. Although they were still cold and indifferent, they quickly fell asleep because they were too tired.
Before they could enter a warm dream, dawn was already urging them to walk. In a loud noise, Song Anle rubbed her sore and swollen eyes and woke up from her reluctance to sleep. She looked at the plum heart and red bamboo beside her, but was surprised to find that the red bamboo was no longer there.
Song Anle immediately woke up and stood up to search. The area of the ranch room was not small, but there were no complex buildings, so she could see all directions at a glance. Because she did not see the figure of the red bamboo, she shouted "Red bamboo...Red bamboo..."
There was still no response. She was not sure. When she was exhausted, Hongzhu would go where she would get up early. At this time, Mei Xin was also shouting and woke up. She said in a daze: "Little Master, what's wrong?"
"Hongzhu is gone." Song Anle looked at Mei Xin with a worried look on her face. She was not worried that something would happen to her, but she was afraid that they would be punished by those responsible persons because they stayed here privately. Hongzhu was afraid that she would be punished.
Because the sky was just shining, Mei Xin thought that it shouldn't be taken away after being discovered, so she calmly said: "Don't be anxious, I guess it's convenient to go out and wait for me to look for it."
Song Anle nodded, "Be careful."
Mei Xin patted her arm lightly, then left immediately, but before she could walk out, Hongzhu came over with a steaming basin of water. Mei Xin said in surprise: "Hongzhu, where are you going?"
Mei Xin looked at the hot water in her hand in disbelief. You should know how hard-earned a cup of hot water was on this cold morning, but she brought a large basin over.
"Of course, it's preparing toiletries for the little master." Hongzhu ignored Mei Xin's surprise at all, but was surprisingly cold and returned to her usual style.
Mei Xin is also a servant, but not only did she not expect to prepare these for her master, but she also slept in a lifeless manner. She couldn't help but feel ashamed of someone like her who strictly demanded herself everywhere, so she stepped back alone in a low voice.
Song Anle and Mei Xin have been together for many years. Of course, she saw Mei Xin's little thoughts. It was just Hongzhu's heart, and she couldn't show any expression. She went to care about Mei Xin's emotions first. Isn't this obviously biased by Hongzhu?
So she said apologetically: "Hongzhu, why don't you sleep for a while, but prepare these for me? Then everyone will just do it together."
