In the dark.

A small white tender hand slapped gently on a door panel.

"Who's who? What's the matter?"

"Is it Brother Xiao Zhezi, I'm Xinghua, our lady feels unbearable pain in her abdomen today, so I hurriedly asked Dr. Bai to hurry over and take a look......"

Xinghua, who had a young face, gathered the clothes on her body, sighed at the cold of the night, and whispered to the person on the other side of the door.

"Oh, it turned out to be Sister Xinghua of Liqingyuan, wait a minute, I'll quickly put on some clothes, this is coming!"

Then, there was a small cracking sound in the door, and in a few moments the door was suddenly opened, revealing a sleepy face.

"I've just informed my family, sister, come in quickly, it's cold outside, you wait now for my family to take the medicine box, and I'll go with you in a while." ”

Outside, there was a cold wind, pouring into the clothes one after another, making the apricot blossom, who was already thin, shake her body, and then entered the courtyard with a hint of caution.

"It's so late, it's time to rest, why did your master suddenly have unbearable pain in his abdomen, and none of the adult's tonic three times a day has fallen, right?"

"Well, I don't know about this, the lady's medicine is generally supervised by Sister Shuitao, oops, I can't tell you the specifics, let's ask Dr. Bai to go and help my lady take a look!"

This apricot blossom is just a third-class girl, and she can't enter the master's inner courtyard at all, so she doesn't know much about the master's affairs at all.

So now when I was asked this question, my eyes were still stunned for a moment, and I suddenly felt that I hadn't asked the situation clearly, so I came over directly and received a not very good errand.

"Okay, okay, don't be in a hurry, come and drink ginger tea, warm up, don't get infected with typhoid fever while walking on the road for a while, now the weather is getting colder and colder, you little girl's family, it's better to pay more attention." ”

Seeing that this Xinghua was a few years younger than herself, just like her sister at home, Xiao Zhezi couldn't bear to say anything heavy to her, so she just poured a cup of sweet ginger tea from the tea room next to her and handed it to her.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Xiao Zhezi, you are really my brother, you are really good to me, but I really don't know about the affairs of our yard, and I will definitely see and ask more questions later."

This ginger tea smells so good, it tastes sweet, and there's sugar in it?"

After watching the warm ginger tea, Xinghua's whole arm felt particularly comfortable.

I opened the lid of the cup, and a puff of white smoke full of sweetness filled the tip of my nose.

This brown sugar ginger tea is generally a portion that only old and young grandmothers can have.

Whether it is candy or sugar, it was a very scarce resource in ancient times.

Only large families are willing to put sugar in snacks or tea.

And those peasant families can't eat a piece of candy for a year, let alone their slaves.

Maybe they can occasionally get the appreciation of their masters and eat some leftovers or something, but just like them, they can't even reach their masters, and the third-class maids on the side can't eat sugar once in three years.

So generally, after receiving her monthly money, this maid will send most of the money back home, leaving a little copper plate on her body to save, and occasionally when she is greedy, she can also exchange it for a little sugar to eat.

Just this point of sugar can make the life of the materially poor people more embellishment and exciting.

"It's not a good errand a few days ago, my family gave me a little candy, so it's cheap for your sister. ”

"Brother Xiao Zhezi, you are so good to me, this sugar is a very valuable object, ten copper plates can't buy much sugar, how can I eat such a valuable thing of yours so cheekily, I still don't drink it, you just pour me a cup of hot water." ”

This little girl is thin-skinned and young, and after accepting such a favor, it is inevitable that she can't bear it, so she is a little flattered and wants to give this ginger tea to this little philosopher.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and drink it while it's hot, don't be so moved, your master is so favored, you will have a long time of wealth in the future, besides, you have already drunk it, do you still want me to drink your leftover tea? Drink it quickly, you're welcome!"

Seeing the other party's eyes looking at him gratefully, Xiao Zhezi's chest straightened, and he felt a sense of satisfaction, thinking that although the other party was only a third-class girl, he was young, and maybe he could be promoted to a second-class girl after two years of hard work, or a first-class girl.

Although he gave his precious sugar to the other party now, maybe she can help herself when this little girl is developed in the future.

So under the urging of Xiao Zhezi, Xinghua drank this bowl of ginger tea with a bang, his body was much warmer, and he was sweating.

At this time, the inner courtyard light had been turned on, and a tall man, after straightening his collar, pushed the door out, and walked in front of a large medicine box.

"I've already cleaned it up, okay, let's go to Qingli Garden now, and see what's wrong with your master's body?"

"Lord Bai, you give me the medicine box, Xiao Zhezi can help you get it, you don't have to bother with this kind of rough work!"

After seeing his master come out, Xiao Zhe put on a thick coat very cleverly, and took over Dr. Bai's medicine box with his hand.

So the three of them walked from the front yard to the inner courtyard.

In the garden at this time, Shui Tao anxiously followed and strode forward, and Gu Ziche, who was speechless, rushed forward.

"Your master is not feeling well, why don't you take good care of her, you know that she has just had a miscarriage and her body is weak, why did you come to the front yard to find me in person?"

"Back to the master's words, the slave maid didn't mean it, but the lady was uncomfortable these days, and she didn't feel well.

After you went to the yamen during the day, the lady began to eat or drink, and her expression was very depressed.

Especially after hearing the news that Mrs. woke up, the whole person was even more sad, holding the clothes he had made for the little master, and kept crying. ”

After listening to Shui Tao talk about this, Gu Ziche's body paused slightly, and his expression was a little painful.

In his mind, he remembered Heng Zhi's sneering words and that extremely calm look.

Is what the woman said true?

Was Rou'er's miscarriage due to jealousy?

Rou'er is so kind-hearted, would she really do such a ruthless hand for the position of the main house?
