Chapter 18
In the afternoon, after dividing the money between Mrs. Xu and Meiren Liu, Caiwei began to sew new clothes and quilts. Before Mrs. Xu and Meiren's things arrived, they helped her to make them together.

In just one afternoon, I sewed a new quilt and two new sets of underwear.

That night, Leng Luoyue covered herself with a new quilt and put on a new undergarment.

Although it is summer now, this cold palace is a cold place. If you sleep without a quilt at night, you will still catch a cold.

The next day, Concubine Xu and Meiren Liu brought their fabrics and made clothes with Caiwei.The three of them were talking and laughing while making clothes. In one day, one person made two clothes.

In the afternoon, Caiwei went to see Guard Zhang. She originally wanted to ask him to bring wool into the palace tomorrow, but it was not Guard Zhang who was on duty, but Guard Wang.

"Zhang Su is on duty at night now. If the girl wants to bring something, she can come to me for the same reason." Wang Ping looked at Caiwei with a smile and said.

Caiwei hesitated for a moment, looked at him and said: "Then please help me bring dozens of kilograms of wool, a killed chicken, and some cabbage into the palace. I will give you three taels of silver, and the rest It’s all your hard work.”

The wool was worthless, and the things she wanted to buy didn't cost more than a tael of silver.However, this time there is much more wool, so I have to pay more for the hard work.

"Okay," Wang Ping accepted.But he was curious in his heart, what did she want the wool for?After all, that thing is dirty and smelly.

When Shenshi arrived again, shopkeeper Feng stood at the door of the shop and looked around.Brother Zhang hasn't sent any dolls for two days, and her shop has already received deposits from more than 20 ladies who want dolls.

The dolls that Brother Zhang sent last time were all sold out the next day, and she sold them for 12 taels of silver each!She ordered the small doll pendant for twenty taels of silver each, but it was also snatched away.

Many people came to ask questions in the past two days. She was preparing to have a big sale, but unexpectedly the doll was out of stock.

Shopkeeper Feng waited until dark and no one came, then he knew that there would be no goods delivered today.

The next day.

Xu Taibin wore a red cross-breasted skirt and a big red peony silk flower on her head. She put powder on her face and smeared lipstick on her lips. She and Liu Meiren, who were also dressed up, walked out of them. 's residence.

When the two of them were dressed like this, they suddenly looked a few years younger, because they had been eating better in the past few days, and they were no longer as sallow and skinny as before, and their complexion was also much better.

The people who were about to go to the palace gate to get breakfast were startled when they saw the changed concubine Xu and Beauty Liu.

Why did these two people become so glamorous? Not only did they wear new clothes, they also wore flowers and put on makeup.These two people have been in the cold palace for more than ten years, and they have never been so glorious!They have always been wearing the same shabby clothes they wore when they entered the cold palace, and they are as slovenly as they are.

Concubine Xu and Meiren Liu saw many people staring at them, and they immediately puffed up their chests, raised their chins, and walked proudly past them.

Zhao Meiren, who was with Wang Jieyu, looked puzzled and said: "Don't the families of these two old ladies care about them? Where did their new clothes come from?"

"I haven't seen them go to get food in the past few days, but their faces are much better than before. Where do they get food from?" Lin Liangren looked curious.

He Cairen said: "I keep seeing them running towards the back recently. Could it be that they ate something delicious in the back?"

After hearing what she said, Zhao Meiren also said: "Speaking of which, when I was not putting down the meal recently, I smelled the aroma of food in this cold palace. Could it be that these two old ladies and others are cooking in the back?"

Wang Jieyu frowned, glanced at the three of them and said, "Eat with me, aren't you full? Do you care what others do?" Upon hearing this, the three of them stopped talking and continued with Wang Jieyu. Go to the palace gate.

Several concubines from the cold palace heard their conversation and took these words to heart.

After breakfast, Caiwei and Xu Taibi went to get wool and shopping and came back.

After returning, Caiwei stewed the chicken first.Then she washed the wool with Mrs. Xu and Meiren Liu. In order to deceive Mrs. Xu and the others, Caiwei also picked gardenias and boiled water with them. However, when boiling water with gardenias, She added two handfuls of washing powder to the pot.Then pour the boiled water into the basin for washing wool.

Xu Taibin rubbed the wool and said, "Don't mention it, the smell of gardenia is really fragrant. Only its fragrance can cover up the smell of this wool."

After rubbing it for a few times, Mrs. Xu saw a lot of foam and said, "Why are there so many foams?"

"I added soap powder." Caiwei fooled her.

"No wonder." Neither Xu Taibi nor Liu Meiren had washed their own clothes before entering the cold palace. After entering the cold palace, although they started to wash their clothes, they did not use soap locust powder.They didn't know that this soap powder could create so much foam, so they all believed what Caiwei said.

After simmering for two-quarters of an hour, the chicken soup emitted bursts of attractive fragrance, drifted over the courtyard wall, and was blown away by the wind in the cold palace.

The women in the cold palace, after breakfast, would lie on the bed in the room, sit on the corridor, or lie directly on the grass. They were decadent and slovenly. They were all hopeless, but did not dare to die. Lord.

A strong aroma wafted in, making these people who had just had breakfast become hungry again.

"What smells so good?" Zhao Zhaoyi, who was lying on the dark bed and tying her hair loosely with chopsticks, smelled the fragrance, got up from the bed, and walked out of the musty-smelling room.

"Do you smell the fragrance?" she asked Zheng Changzai, who was sitting on the porch.

Zheng Changzai swallowed his saliva and nodded: "I smell it. I heard Lin Liangren and others said this morning that the people named Xu and Liu were probably cooking with others in the back! It wasn't even time to put the meal, and something was floating in the air. With such a smell, they must be cooking something delicious."

Zhao Zhaoyi's narrowed eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "They are all from a cold palace. There is no reason for them to eat well secretly while we are hungry. Let's go and have a look together."

There were only two people named Xu and Liu. No matter how many more people they called, they would not be able to do anything to them.Besides, the two of them were abandoned by their families. Even if something happened to them, their families would not help them avenge themselves.

In the past, Zhao Zhaoyi teamed up with several people to rob Wang Jieyu's food and things. After Wang Jieyu's family found out, they went to take care of the people in the imperial kitchen, cut off the food for several of them, and even asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to cut off their food. Their carbon happened to be winter at that time, and they almost froze to death.

After that, they no longer dared to steal Wang Jieyu's things.However, in this cold palace, people like Wang Jieyu were relegated to the cold palace, and she was the only one who was protected and supported by her family.

"Okay!" Zheng Changzai stood up.

So the two of them went to call a few more people, and then went to the back while crying.

Caiwei and Mrs. Xu were washing the wool while talking and laughing, not knowing that a large wave of zombies was about to attack.
