Chapter 170 Small Tea Stove

The old eunuch laughed when he heard the words, "Really? Auntie, you have finally become sentimental!"

Aunt Jing didn't answer his words and glanced at Haiman, "This teapot room doesn't have to turn off the lights all night. You can work here. Remember to go back to the raccoon washing room when you open the palace door. Cui Gong Guild will help you do something else!"

"Yes!" Hyman hurriedly agreed and blessed the old eunuch, "Duke Cui, I'm sorry to trouble you!"

"It doesn't get in the way, it doesn't get in the way. Anyway, it's boring for me to just guard a few stoves. It's not bad to have someone to accompany me." Eunuch Cui smiled pleasantly and stood up, "Come on, come inside!"

Hyman thanked Aunt Jing and went into a small room with Grandpa Cui. The furnishings in the room are extremely simple. Except for a couch for only one person to lie on, there is only one table and two chairs.

"There will be night patrol soldiers to get water. It's not suitable for you to be outside. Just work here. I'm outside. Just say something. If you're tired, you can go to the couch and sleep for a while. Grandpa Cui moved the candlestick to the corner of the table, wiped the table with his sleeves, and told Hyman with a smile.

Haimanfu blessed himself, "Thank you, Grandpa Cui!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome, I'm old friends with Jing's aunt, and she has done something here before! All right, go ahead. I'll go out and talk to her!" Grandpa Cui said he would go out and close the door.

Hyman took a deep breath. It was rare for her aunt to provide such convenience, and she could not waste time. She hurriedly took out the things and began to fly the needle and line.

When Aunt Jing saw Grandpa Cui come out, she said coldly, "That child, please. I'm leaving!"

"I haven't seen you for such a long time. Why don't you leave after drinking tea?"

"If you don't drink, you will close the palace door immediately. You can't go back. You have been in the palace for so many years, don't you know the temperament of those palace people? If you can't stand it, it will cause trouble for you."

Eunuch Cui smiled and changed the topic, "Didn't you decide not to get close to the palace people a long time ago? Is there anything special about the child inside?

Jing's eyes shook quickly twice and turned her head. "It's nothing. I just saw her looking for stone lanterns to work everywhere at night for fear that she would cause me trouble."

"Isn't that more than that? Do you remember yourself in those years?"

"So what?" Jing's aunt stared at him angrily, "You are still so virtuous and like to be nosy!"

Grandpa Cui was not annoyed when he was scolded, "Yes, I like to mind my own business. If I didn't like to be nosy, you wouldn't have asked me for help, would you?

When Aunt Jing heard this, her face changed, turned around and left, "I'm going back!"

"Do you really don't want to see him?" Grandpa Cui asked her back.

Jing's aunt paused, "No, I won't see you in my life!" Hurry up and go out the door.

"Oh, it's been so many years, and I haven't been trying to come yet!" Eunuch Cui played with the fire and sighed to himself.

Haiman held his strength and wanted to finish Huang Yuejiao's clothes overnight, but he was too tired to work these days. In less than an hour, his upper and lower eyelids began to fight, and his eyes seemed to be blurred. The most important thing is that she is in a hurry to come out with her aunt. She hasn't had dinner yet and is hungry.

I touched the herbal tea on the table and took two sips. The hunger eased slightly, but I couldn't support it for a long time. I immediately became hungry again. I drank a pot of herbal tea, but I was even more hungry, and my stomach screamed loudly!

She rubbed her stomach with a wry smile, got up and moved her body to wake herself up. It's rare for Jingji to find such a place for her to do work. In case she accidentally falls asleep, isn't it a waste of opportunity?

"Girl, are you tired?" Grandpa Cui saw people shaking outside and pushed the door and came in. "Come on, drink some strong tea. This relieves fatigue!"

Hyman hurriedly took over the teapot, "Thank you, father-in-law, for bothering you!"

"It's okay. It's okay. You don't have to be polite to me. Just tell me if you need anything. In the past, my aunt came to me to do some needlework like you!"

"Dear aunt?" Hyman was a little surprised and wanted to ask something, but his stomach suddenly screamed loudly and he forgot to say something in embarrassment.

Eunpa Cui laughed, "Are you hungry?"

"Well, there is a lot of work in the laundry room these days, and I haven't had time to have dinner yet!" Hyman was a little embarrassed, but he told the truth.

"Yes, it will be the Empress Dowager's birthday soon, and everyone in the palace is busy. Wait, I'll get you something to eat!" Grandpa Cui said that he went out and played it outside for a long time. He brought in a white porcelain bowl with a brown steamed bun and a boiled egg in it. "Come on, eat it!"

Although there are still many good people in the ectical palace. Hyman was warm in her heart and thanked her. She took it and buried her head in it. She was really hungry!

"Drink some water and don't chop." Grandpa Cui poured her a glass of water, sat down opposite her, and smiled kindly, "Look at you like this, I remember my former aunt!"

"Have you known your father-in-law and aunt for a long time?" Hyman's eyes were a little erratic, as if he remembered something in the past.

Grandpa Cui nodded, "Well, yes, she entered the palace at the age of 12. I was 15 years old. At that time, we knew each other for 30 years!"

"Thirty years?" Heyman was a little surprised. It was not that they had known each other for a long time, but that she looked like her aunt. She was only in her early 40s this year, but she looked like she was in her fifties. Although she is a rough maid, she is also in charge of affairs. She shouldn't look so old.

"When she was as old as you, she did needlework day and night to make money. At that time, as soon as I was sent to this teapot room, I secretly called her here and asked her to 'borrow the light'..."

Heiman felt more and more surprised, "Does Auntie make money by doing needlework?"

"Yes, don't you know? Except for the rough maids, most of the maids in this palace have a lot of leisure time. If they have nothing to do, they will do some needles and threads. Over time, they have practiced a good female red. The things made by the maids can be sold at a high price if they are sold outside. So those maids who have difficulties in their families use this method to make money.

"Is it difficult to stay at your home?"

Duke Cui looked a little strange, "Yes, she wants to support her relatives." After a pause, she said to herself, "She learned to be a celebrity from those old maids, entrusted what she made to her father-in-law, asked them to help sell it for money, and did it for more than ten years..."

Hyman never knew that Jing's aunt had such an experience. After more than ten years of hard work, no wonder she looked so old.

"Girl, is sewing also to make money?" When Grandpa Cui saw that Haiman had finished eating, he hurriedly picked up the needle and thread, looking desperate, thinking that she was like Jing's aunt.

Hyman shook his head with a smile, "No, no one in my family needs money. I just promised a friend to make a dress for her and agreed to do it for her at the end of the month. Who knows that there is too much work to wash the room these days and I don't have time to do it. I'm afraid of delay her wearing it, so I asked my aunt for help!"

"Is that so?" Grandpa Cui was a little surprised, and then smiled again, "That person with a straight face all day long and looks cold. In fact, he is a warm-hearted person. You will know when you get along with her for a long time!"

"Yes, Jing's aunt is a good person!" Hyman feels the same way.

Exunuch Cui sighed slightly, "Yes, she is a good person. Unfortunately, in this palace, sometimes good people are difficult to do..."

Hyman seemed to have some deep meaning when he heard his words. He wanted to ask, but he heard someone outside shouting, "Mr. Cui, has the water been boiled? Brothers are waiting to drink!"

"Okay, here we go!" Grandpa Cui got up quickly and told Hyman as he walked out, "Girl, you are busy first. I stewed a few sweet potatoes in the stove and brought them to fill your stomach after a while."

"Thank you, father-in-law!" Hyman smiled gratefully at him and continued to immerse himself in his work.

A vague conversation between Grandpa Cui and a man came from outside. After a burst of footsteps, he was completely silent. Grandpa Cui seemed to follow the man out and should have gone to deliver water.

It seems that Grandpa Cui's job is not easy!

Grandpa Cui hasn't come back for a long time. Haiman ate and drank some strong tea. He was much more energetic. He concentrated on sewing clothes and didn't care much.

I don't know how long it took, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a dark shadow flashed in quickly. "d..." As soon as I opened my mouth, I found something wrong and stopped abruptly.

Hyman didn't hear the sound of footsteps or the sound of opening the door. He turned his head and found that there was a man in black in the room. He was really shocked and subconsciously stood up, "Who are you?"

This is a young man, dressed in a night coat and a long rolled whip hanging around his waist, without masking his face. With long eyebrows and big eyes, his face is very handsome, but his whole body exudes a cold breath.

Royal Palace, late at night, man in black, is this the legendary assassin?

While Haiman looked at him, he was also looking at Haiman. His eyes were full of murderous intent, and his hand slowly reached for the long whip at his waist, and he would attack and kill her at any time.

was deadlocked, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, from far to near.

Hyman became nervous. Is it Grandpa Cui? What if I didn't remind him not to come in? But what if it's not him?

In hesitation, the man in black shook and bullied Hyman in the blink of an eye. Before she could react, he reached out and clasped her throat, "Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you!"

He came close to her ear and warned her in a low voice.

This man is a master, and his martial arts should not be under Yi Yun. The moment he was restrained by him, Haiman already knew it. He was worried about Grandpa Cui, but he did not dare to die in vain.

The footsteps approached slowly, approached, stopped outside, did something rustlingly, walked inside again, and slowly pushed the door open...
