readx;ā Yes...... I almost forgot ......" Shui Sanniang was stunned, her whole face was buried between her arms, she was silent for a long time, and suddenly raised her head again, looked at Fang Er who was standing at the door and said seriously, "I almost forgot, Dongqi's divine doctor has superb medical skills, and he told me before that wine is a thing that detoxifies the intestines, so I must drink three cups a day." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Really, Fang Er looked suspicious, always felt that this was unreliable, and the suspicion was clearly written on his face.
"The divine doctor said, my physique is different from ordinary people, so I naturally need to use extraordinary methods, if you don't believe it, go ahead and ask Xiangye. Shui Sanniang straightened up, swore an oath, and looked at Fang Er's sincerity.
Fang Er glanced at his wife in embarrassment, naturally it was not good to question Xiangye's words in person. I had to salute in a hurry, and then I went out with a bitter face.
"By the way, remember to drop by and get some lard ointment. Do you know the lard ointment?" Shui Sanniang was bored, lifted the teapot and shook it, and put it down stupidly, obviously not wanting to drink tea.
"Lard paste?" Fang Er asked cautiously and strangely, "Is it the food that Madame explained to be made in the kitchen?"
Shui Sanniang rolled her eyes silently, got up and approached, took Fang Er's red and swollen hand, and said with pity: "Girls should take care of themselves more, you see that your hands are like pig's trotters, in case a handsome young man takes a fancy to you, these little pig's trotters can also scare away the other party." ā
Fang Er sneered, and withdrew his hand back with some bitterness.
She thought that Shui Sanniang was originally asking for the lard ointment she wanted, and she unconsciously got a little closer to her, but she said with some loss: "Except for the festival celebration, the people in the house have no other rations except for the monthly money, so Fang Er will forget it." It's just that Madame's share is there. ā
"Share?then Xue Yanhui also uses it?" Shui Sanniang remembered the heavy makeup on Xue Yanhui's face, and shook her head again.
"How could it be. You must know that the eldest lady has to use up several boxes of hand ointment in Tianzhi Pavilion in one winter, and I heard that a small box is worth hundreds of taels, speaking of which, Mrs. doesn't want to protect herself, and she doesn't even bring a stove in this winter. This lard ointment, let's bring it to you. ā
Shui Sanniang smiled and raised her hands in front of Fang Er and said proudly: "You see that my hands are rough on the boat, and when I come to this mansion to protect them every day, I can't raise them, and I can't even freeze a sore in the cold of this winter." I've never liked these bells and whistles since I was a child, and I haven't used them, you say, what's the use of this lard ointment for me?"
Fang Er looked at Shui Sanniang's calloused hand, exclaimed, hurriedly protected it, frowned and apologized: "The slave lost her words, and the lady suffered." ā
Shui Sanniang shook her head, waved her hand indifferently and said, "That's the case, so you can get those things for me." ā
"The slave will put it away for the lady. Fang Er pursed her lips, not daring to accept such a big gift on the first day.
Seeing that she cared so much about these master and servant positions, Shui Sanniang looked at her for a long time, and finally sighed, waved her hand and asked her to go to errands.
When Fang Er walked away, Shui Sanniang sighed again, looked around the slightly deserted room, and suddenly remembered the happy days of drinking and meat.
"I can't go back. She shrugged her shoulders, put on her clothes and shoes, and lay straight down on the bed, looking at the top of the tent painted with gold and silver, not knowing what she was thinking.
Outside the forbidden door, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Fang'er, why did you come back so soon?" Shui Sanniang shouted, turned over and jumped off the bed, pulled the sleeves of her overly thick clothes uncomfortably, and opened the door by herself.
Standing outside the door was not Fang Er, but the old steward Zhao who saluted with a respectful face and bowed slightly, followed by a small guy holding a gift box.
The smile on Shui Sanniang's face froze, she put down her hands, lowered her eyes slightly, and asked with a polite look, "Is there something important for Old Steward Zhao to come?"
The old steward Zhao always stared at his feet, did his duty as an old man, and said respectfully: "The old servant came from the vestibule, and the prime minister sent me to tell his wife two things. ā
Shui Sanniang nodded and motioned for him to continue, but his eyes fell on the gift box, presumably the next thing must be related to this thing.
"First, today's matter, I hope that Mrs. will not care, Xiangye specially invites three boxes of fat powder from Tianzhi Pavilion, and I hope Mrs. will accept it. As soon as Old Steward Zhao spoke, he raised his head, the cold seemed to freeze the folds on his face more deeply, his somewhat cloudy eyes glanced into the room, frowned and asked, "Madam, Fang'er...... Why don't you come out and receive the salute?"
Reward?
Shui Sanniang pouted contemptuously unconsciously, thinking that it was just for show, how could the noble lord who brought her back care about her feelings?
"Fang'er go get some things for me. She explained a word or two absently, and then reached out to take the thing from the little man's hand. However, the old steward Zhao didn't notice Shui Sanniang's actions, and glanced straight at the little maid and asked him to send him to the house first.
Shui Sanniang withdrew her hand, watched the little guy go in and out again, and then asked, "What about the second?"
"The second is today's matter, Xiangye ordered the second son to think about it for a month behind closed doors. Old Steward Zhao reported lukewarmly.
Shui Sanniang's eyes widened, her voice immediately raised, and she shouted: "Why forbid Zhun'er's feet?! This Xue Yan provoked something, and blamed Sanniang's son for turning around, and there is no Wang Fa Tianli!"
The little guy who was following behind Old Steward Zhao couldn't help but be surprised, secretly glanced at Shui Sanniang, and quickly lowered his head. Not to mention that the second lady, who has been ill for a long time, can't see the slightest illness at this time, what the prime minister says in this mansion is what, how can anyone dare to question and shout to his face whether there is a royal law?
After all, it's a person from the countryside, and I don't understand it. The little guy muttered a few words in his heart, and then endured the cold and shrank behind the old steward Zhao, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, very sensible.
"Madame is recovering from a serious illness, this Xiangye and the eldest lady are all taking care of the movements here, and it is better to be less active. Old Steward Zhao said calmly, but Shui Sanniang, who was full of anger, suddenly felt a chill in her back, and the anger in her mouth choked again.
"How can it be justified? Shui Sanniang was still a little indignant, thinking about when she would go to the door again to reason with Si Kou Xiangming.
Old Steward Zhao could see it, and said comfortingly: "Xiangye is not blaming the son, but today's incident is a reminder." Xiangye is for the good of the second son, as soon as the harsh winter passes, the spring examination should be held next year, and the son is quiet and recuperated, which is not only convenient for recuperation, but also conducive to reading and studying the scriptures, so it is the best policy. ā
Seeing that he was reasonable, Shui Sanniang didn't have a good seizure, but she pointed to a place in the distance with her chin not very happily, and said dissatisfiedly: "People don't offend me, I don't offend people." What should I do if anyone sins against me?"
Old Steward Zhao was thoughtful, and bowed down and replied: "Xiangye also explained that this year, Wei Jing is very cold, and the eldest lady is out of the wet and warm land in the south, and she is specially sent back to Qingyang City to recuperate. ā
As soon as these words came out, Shui Sanniang imagined Xue Yanhui's angry jumping feet, and she was immediately satisfied. It's just that there are still some doubts, and she asks lately: "Water ...... In terms of calculation, I am also from Qingyang City, will I go together this time?"
