Shu E's heart froze: Gonggong Lin, what do you want to say?

Gonggong Lin didn't wait for Shu E to ask again, seeing that it was not far from the harem of Qingshou Palace, and there was not much time for Zhilu Dao to speak, Gonggong Lin whispered: "Recently, Madame has been busy with foreign affairs, and she has not had much time to stay in Yong'an Hall. ”

Shu E smiled: "I still want to say what my father-in-law wants to say!" It's normal for them to have an errand to go out on. It's just that there is nothing to do, and it should be done to go out and go around. ”

"Miss Judou has hardly gone out since the last incident." Lin Gonggong said.

Shu E sighed, "I think it's because she is depressed and dull in her heart, and she doesn't want to go out...... It's just that she's stuffy all day, and it's not a good thing. It's good to go out and walk by chance. ”

"The old slave is afraid that she will go out of the country, and she will meet with Liao Yushou in private."

Shu E heard what Father-in-law Lin said, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law is too worried! Since the injury to my face has recurred, presumably Imperial Servant Liao will not blame Sister Ju Dou for doing things badly. The two of them did not break their faces, and it was reasonable for Liao Yushou to meet her again. ”

Gonggong Lin didn't expect Shu E to be so defenseless against the person who had intended to harm her, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Shu E listened to Gonggong Lin silent, and suddenly thought of herself like this, as if she only believed in Ju Dou, but not Gonggong Lin. Thinking that Gonggong Lin was waiting for him here, he wanted to give himself a vigilance, which was originally a good intention. So he asked, "Grandpa Lin, do you see that something is wrong?" ”

Gonggong Lin shook his head and sighed: "Speaking of treating people with integrity, the old slave is really no match for Mrs. But because there was no clue, the old slave felt particularly frightened. ”

"My father-in-law is worried about Shu'e, how can I not know the truth." Shu E said softly, "Father-in-law Lin, please rest assured, after going through so much, Shu'e will also be vigilant, and will never live up to her father-in-law's wishes." ”

said that he had arrived at Yong'an Hall.

Zihao and Sumo saw Shu E coming back, and asked her to take a look at her hand as usual. There are many sweat stains on the hands in summer, and the Chen Xiang crystal soap sent by the Shanggong Bureau is just right to use.

While washing his hands, Zihao wrung out another handkerchief and handed it to Shu'e to wipe his sweat.

"Alas, even the well water is hot from the sun, and it is not cool at all to use." Shu E took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her cheeks and forehead, and she missed the time when she was in the Yang Xin Garden in Cao Mansion, when it was summer, and her grandfather drew water from the well. The freshly dug well water is cool and sweet, Shu E always likes to scoop a pot out, stick the whole face on the water, and sometimes take it out of the bucket and take a sip gently, you can feel a cold water line from the tip of the tongue to the abdomen, which can instantly eliminate the heat.

Zihao pursed her lips and smiled: "The well water was not like this, this was the special instruction of Sister-in-law He, and we took it out and dried it for a long time, until we tried not to be cold, and then let it be used by Mrs. ”

Shu E smiled slightly, and handed the handkerchief to Zihao: "Sister-in-law He is so strict!" ”

Lilac took a small bowl of moon-white official kiln ice crack thin tire from Cai Yin and handed it to Shu E, and said with a smile: "Although the summer solstice festival has passed, it has not yet been ambushed, and there are many hot days." Now I'm afraid of the heat and the cold, how do you spend the dog days? Besides, if your physique is open, when you sweat, your pores are open, how can you resist the cold water? ”

Shu E looked at the bright red juice in the bowl, smelled the fresh and sweet taste, and knew that it was watermelon juice squeezed. Before the entrance, I felt relaxed and happy, and the annoyance was gone. Shu'e listened to the clove chatter with a smile, and took a sip gently, and a stream of sweet and cool watermelon juice flowed into her mouth.

When Shu E held the small bowl, she felt that the wall of the bowl was cold to the touch, and a layer of water vapor was attached to it, and she felt happy in her heart, and asked with a smile: "Is this watermelon juice pulled out with well water [Note 1]?" ”

Lilac smiled: "How can the well water be so cool? The Queen Mother had already sent ice cubes, but she also explained that she was not allowed to put them directly in the tea. As he spoke, he pointed to the small bowl in Shu E's hand: "This watermelon juice is squeezed out and chilled through the ice water." How do you taste it? ”

Shu E was surprised and delighted, there is naturally no shortage of ice in Caofu in summer, but Yangxinyuan can't be divided. Shu E is still the first time to use ice in the summer, the surprise in her heart, far more than joy, if it is not for the identity of the Cao family daughter who knows that the Tao will not match, Shu E will pester the cloves to show herself the summer ice.

Shu E took another sip and only felt mellow and sweet, but the sweetness was pure and natural, and there was no feeling of added sugar. As he was thinking, he looked up and saw Cai Yin and Cai Wei carrying a bucket of water from under the sun. My throat was suddenly choked, and the sweet taste was greasy in my throat, and I just felt very uncomfortable.

Looking around, Lilac still looked at herself with concern, as if asking, is this watermelon juice delicious to drink.

Shu E nodded and asked, "How many melons do we get in Yong'an Hall a day?" ”

Lilac smiled: "Divide a few, there is always something for you to eat." What does this do, you ask? As he spoke, he went to beckon Mrs. Sun to come over, and Hua Fu replied: "The three ladies, even the people under us, have a burden a day." Before the summer solstice, there were few watermelons in tribute, and the queen mother sent one to her wife every day. After the summer solstice, it is one load a day, about ten. ”

Shu E raised the small bowl in her hand and said, "How many melons do you need to squeeze such a bowl of watermelon juice?" ”

Lilac was secretly anxious in her heart: such a bowl of watermelon juice can't even use half a melon, how can Shu E ask such a layman's words, wouldn't it make people laugh!

However, Waffle didn't laugh, but said very seriously: "I didn't count, but when I came from the kitchen, I looked like there were about two or three." ”

Lilac looked at them in surprise, but saw Shu E's stern expression, and Hua Fu looked at Shu E's expression like this, and did not make a sound.

"Two or three melons at a time, only take a little melon heart, and always prepare two or three bowls for me a day!" Shu E said suddenly, and then sighed: "Why bother! For my own sake, such extravagance! ”

When Lilac saw Shu E's solemn expression for the first time, she couldn't help but feel a little in awe, and called "Shu E" in a low voice. Shu E stood up and said to Lilac and Hua Fu: "Everyone works hard all day long, I can't help at all, that's all." Now that I even drink and eat, I want everyone to accommodate me, how can I feel sorry for me? ”

Lilac was about to say more, Shu E stopped smiling, and said, "Sun Niangzi!" ”

Waffle took half a step forward and replied, "Yes!" ”

[Note 1] Pull: Put the melons, fruits or hot tea utensils in cold water and remove the heat.
