The snow was heavy tonight, and the cobblestone courtyard was covered with a thick layer of snow.
"Who heated the kang tonight?" Qingxing asked Xiaotao while helping Jiang Shuwan change her clothes.
The kang (heated brick bed) is too hot; the young lady's clothes are soaked with sweat.
Xiao Tao gave the name of the choreswoman.
Today, Jiang Shuwan made many jars of milk tea because she was teaching Xiao Tao's sister-in-law, and Xiao Tao's sister-in-law practiced making it twice more.
So there was a lot of milk tea brewed in the house, and not only the maids and nannies in the house drank it.
The other maids and servants also drank about half a bowl.
The servants vowed to work hard to repay Jiang Shuwan.
Then, by accident, two extra pieces of firewood were added, which woke Jiang Shuwan up from the heat.
Jiang Shuwan was both amused and exasperated.
She just wanted everyone in the house to work together, because many hands make light work.

"You, you, you're really infuriating! You're her husband, and you forgot the time, couldn't she remind you? I think she's just being playful."
"Miss, there's another argument at the Earl's residence," Qingxing said, looking very energetic.
She was just feeling sleepy, but now that she hears some gossip, her eyes light up like searchlights.
If Qingxing were alive today, she would definitely be a top-notch paparazzi. Just based on her enthusiasm for gossip, even the number one paparazzi, Teacher Zhuo, would probably have to admit defeat.
Jiang Shuwan silently complained to herself.
However, it was probably too late, and the aunt was not strong enough to fight back, so she stopped after arguing for only a few words.
The next day, early in the morning, the battle at the Earl's residence continued.
