CHAPTER XLIII
A sound sleep, half-rolled bead curtains, people in the dark.
Seems to smell a particularly strong fragrance, Tan Wanqing woke up from her sleep in a daze, the light in the room was a little dim, she slowly hugged the quilt and sat on the warm kang, I don't know how long, only to look up at the window, it was late outside, a clear cloud.
She looked at it ignorantly, but she didn't expect it to be a chaotic sleep all afternoon.
When she saw the neat clothes and needles folded next to her, she tentatively called Ruizhu twice, but no one responded, the person was not in the room, this time should be in the kitchen.
When she woke up, she was sweaty, she reached out and touched her body, it was very warm, obviously the kitchen fire had been burning for a while.
Then I sniffed again, what is the kitchen doing, so fragrant?
It's a sweet milk smell, mixed with the aroma of meat, what are you doing with meat soup? Although Ruizhu likes to eat meat, and the kitchen often prepares half a piece of raw meat on weekdays, but after all, there are only two people, and it doesn't take much, even if it is a little meaty, it will never float from the kitchen here. And, where does the milky smell come from?
Just thinking about it, she heard a few "baa" cries from the yard, which completely sobered her up, what was it just now? Sheep crying? After a pause, she made sure she heard correctly, then lifted the quilt, got up and sat down in front of the window, opened the slit of the window, and looked out.
At about midnight, before it was completely dark, the shadow could see it clearly, and when he looked for the sound, he saw that at the root of the wall on one side of the yard, there were two dairy goats tied under the peach tree, lying on a thick piece of hay, bleating from time to time.
Where do the goats come from?
One white hair, the other is purple hair, is it purple hair? It even provoked Tan Wanqing to look at it twice.
Just when she was confused, she heard the footsteps coming out of the kitchen, steady and powerful, that was definitely not Ruizhu, there were outsiders in the house? This made Tan Wanqing feel refreshed, and she pushed the window coldly, looked towards the kitchen, only glanced at it, and hurriedly closed the window.
How could it be him?
After thinking for a while, he lifted the quilt, and in the somewhat dark room, he reached out to light the candle on the table, and just lit the candlelight, he heard a sound of footsteps, and the curtain was lifted, but it was Ruizhu who came in with a food box.
Seeing her get up, Rui Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss, you have slept all afternoon." With that, he put the food box on the table.
Tan Wanqing looked behind her and asked, "But someone is coming?" Why don't you call me? ”
"It's Master Xie, not long after you lay down, Miss, he came over, and when he saw that you were sleeping deeply, he didn't let me wake you up." After speaking, he quickly brushed Tan Wanqing's somewhat messy hair, looked back outside, and then whispered again: "That Lord Xie slammed the door and left after arguing with Miss last time, I deliberately said Miss You are not in good health, you still have the root of your illness when you were sick before, and you need to rest, he left away, but then came back ......."
Tan Wanqing understood a little, "The sheep outside were brought by him?" ”
"Yes, Lord Xie let the sheep be brought by him, I heard that he just came back from the hands of the Tartar yesterday, and he specially brought it over and left it for the young lady to nourish her body......" Rui Zhu hurriedly opened the food box, and carefully took out a bowl of goat's milk, and as soon as he took it out, the milk fragrance came to his nose, and it was rare and rich.
Tan Wanqing looked at it, slightly stunned, that bowl was not the ** white of goat's milk, but a very shallow purple halo, with a layer of milk skin floating on it, looking at the color slightly translucent, and then thinking of the purple sheep, remembering something, a little surprised, "This is ...... Purple jade pulp? ”
Rui Zhu hurriedly nodded excitedly, purple jade syrup is a good thing, purple sheep's milk is a great tonic, even the capital is only known for its name, even the little emperor may not drink it every day, just because the quantity is rare, the output is very small, I didn't expect that this side of the pass, I can actually get one, and this purple jade syrup is also the most cold and weak disease for the young lady.
Although the fragrance was tempting, Tan Wanqing took it but didn't drink it, just put it on the table.
"Lord Xie also brought venison and deer tendons, which are all very fresh and good things to nourish the body, and ......" Ruizhu said: "He also sent a package of bird's nest, all of them are neat and even, smooth and translucent, they are all excellent blood bird's nests, enough for the young lady to eat for a month......"
When the young lady was in the house, she ate blood swallows all the year round to nourish herself, and now that she is out of the house, she has long since lost the smell of it, not to mention that now, not to mention that she has no money in her hand, even if she has it, this thing is not something that ordinary people can get.
Ruizhu took out the food from the food box and put it on the table, and whispered to the young lady sitting on the side of the warm kang: "As soon as I said that the young lady was not well-nourished, then Lord Xie hurriedly went back and brought so many things, and she was very attentive to the young lady...... She took out a cup of deer tendon pot from the box and whispered: "When the young lady was asleep, the adult made it in the kitchen and cooked it for two hours, and the tendons were rotten and glutinous, before simmering this cup of soup." ”
The gentleman is far away from cooking, but Lord Xie is not afraid of meat and vegetarian food, not only into the kitchen, but also found a knife, cutting tendons and making soup is extremely skilled, although Ruizhu still likes to read, but at this glance, I don't feel much more pleasing to the eye, at this time with the soup that has been boiled for two hours, I can't help but say a good word in my mouth: "...... The slave looked like that, and seemed to like Miss very much, not like ......, "It doesn't look like Miss Na is a concubine."
If it's just a concubine, what man would be so concerned, but is it worth the trouble as a pastime?
Tan Wanqing sat there, frowning slightly, and didn't say right or refute, only moved to the edge of the kang, and didn't say a word to take the shoes to wear.
"Miss, you're barefoot." Rui Zhu saw the sleek and white **, hurriedly screamed, went to find the Luo socks that he took off when he was sleeping, the two were rummaging through the room, and the curtain was lifted at some point. (.)
