Chapter 31: Make another plan
The first thing Yao Yanyu did after returning to the Cixin Nunnery was to ask someone to get a hot bath.
Cuiwei was also tired, and Yao Yanyu asked her to rest by herself. Cui Ping watered Yao Yanyu's body, and Mama Feng washed her long hair. The warm water was sprinkled with dried jasmine flowers, the heat was thick, and the light fragrance lingered in the nose, Yao Yanyu soaked in the bathtub for a while and fell asleep.
Mama Feng washed Yao Yanyu's long hair and wrung it half-dry with a hand towel, loosely tied it in a bun on the top of her head, and used a hosta to give her a bun, Yao Yanyu's head tilted, which startled Mama Feng: "Girl, girl? Why did you fall asleep! ”
Cui Ping sighed softly: "The girl is really tired today. ”
Mama Feng screamed twice, but Yao Yanyu just slept in the bathtub and didn't even snort.
"I'm going to call someone in and help carry the girl to the bed." Cui Ping said, go out and call someone. Mama Feng hurriedly took a cotton sheet and spread it on the bed, ready to wipe Yao Yanyu's body.
The three daughters-in-law and Cui Ping fished Yao Yanyu out of the bathtub and put her on the bed, dried herself and changed into pajamas, moved the pillow to put it on her, and covered the quilt.
"Divine Bodhisattva! Amitabha! The girl is really tired today. Mama Feng looked at Yao Yanyu, who was still asleep after such a toss, and smiled helplessly: "I haven't slept so heavily since I was a child and grew up to the age of sixteen." ”
Yao Yanyu slept really deeply, slept until three o'clock in the morning, opened her eyes and looked at the cyan curtain, closed it and continued to sleep.
It's just that my body is sore, my lower abdomen is swollen, and I can't sleep anymore. So she looked up, put on her clothes, found the bucket, solved her physiological problems, came back, went into the tent, and continued to lie down. Well, I'm going to sleep all day today, and whoever gives eight hundred hangings doesn't want to get this girl up.
At noon, Cuiwei came in, quietly opened the curtain and saw her lying on the bed in a daze with her eyes open, and asked with a smile: "Why didn't the girl call someone when she woke up?" ”
Yao Yanyu sighed softly and said with a bitter face: "I don't have the strength to call people." ”
"When the slave and maid came in early to see that the girl was sleeping, he told them not to come in and disturb them, but the slave and maid were negligent."
"It's nothing, I just woke up." Yao Yanyu was helped by Cuiwei to sit up, Cuiwei saw that her body was soft, and hurriedly moved a pillow to cushion behind her.
"Girl, aren't she? Drink saliva first, and then eat. Cuiwei handed Yao Yanyu a cup of warm boiled water to drink, and Cuiping had already heard the movement and came in to help.
Yao Yanyu had just put on her clothes, and before she had combed her hair, someone came in and said, "Girl, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent someone to say that he was sending something to the girl." ”
Yao Yanyu smiled helplessly and sighed: "They are really fast." ”
"Girl," Cui Ping was combing Yao Yanyu's hair, and hurriedly persuaded: "The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion should not be slow, the girls haven't been cleaned yet, why don't you let them wait for a while?" ”
Yao Yanyu waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I'm just sleeping lazy, please let them in." ”
The people who came were two grandmothers in their forties, with some fat figures, square and dignified, dressed in silk and satin, showing luxury, with meticulous hair combed and full of pearls. The two of them blessed themselves slightly, and said in unison: "The slave has seen Miss Yao Er, and the girl is fine." ”
Yao Yanyu didn't have time to comb her long black hair into a bun and braided it into a loose braid, pulled it diagonally from her shoulders to her side, her fingers played with the whip, and chuckled: "You don't have to be polite, please sit down." ”
After thanking them, they did not rush to sit down, but waved sideways to the back. Four other grandmothers each came in with a carved wooden box of red sandalwood more than a foot long, and stood in a row with brushes. One of the leading grandmothers smiled and said, "This is what our county lord asked the minions to send to the girl, and I asked the girl to smile." ”
Yao Yanyu then remembered that the county lord of Lingxi said yesterday that he would send a few pieces of jewelry to himself, so he stood up with a smile and blessed himself in the direction of the capital: "The courtier Xie County Lord has rewarded her." ”
Mama Feng waved her hand, and Cuiwei Cuiping and two mothers-in-law stepped forward to accept the four boxes of jewelry.
Yao Yanyu invited the two grandmothers to sit again, and ordered tea to be served. The two grandmothers sat down slightly, drank two sips of tea and got up to say goodbye, saying that the county lord was still waiting for a reply, and he didn't dare to delay more.
The county lord of Lingxi is very generous, although there are not many jewelry in the four boxes, but each one is a good thing. Among them, there is a red gold collar with a pearl the size of a dragon's eye, which is very rare in color.
Yao Yanyu took the collar and looked left and right, and asked Mama Feng with a smile: "Mama, how much do you think these are worth?" ”
"It's not gold, I'm afraid this bead is at least this price." Mama Feng said, stretching out three fingers.
"Three hundred taels?"
"Oh my good girl! Where can you buy such beads for three hundred taels of silver? Mama Feng couldn't help but smile and leaned over, lowered her voice and reported the number: "I'm afraid there is no place to buy three thousand taels of silver, this should be rewarded by the palace, such beads, where do ordinary people dare to use them, the girl is so good to keep it." ”
Yao Yanyu couldn't help but be disappointed when she heard this: "So, this can't be sold yet?" ”
"Sell?" Mama Feng smiled in surprise: "This thing is extremely rare, why doesn't the girl keep it for herself?" Besides, the girl is not short of money to spend, where is the need to sell jewelry? If the old lady knew about this, she would definitely not be happy, so don't think so, girl. ”
"But, didn't you say that the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the capital is so expensive that you can't buy one for three or five thousand taels of silver?"
Cuiwei finally understood: "The girl wants to sell these things to buy the Grange?" ”
Yao Yanyu looked at Mama Feng and Cuiwei, and asked, "Otherwise?" Do you want to go back to Dinghou Mansion? ”
Cuiwei immediately shook her head: "The slave really doesn't want to go back to Dinghou Mansion." Although the aunt and grandmother are very good to the girl, they are not their own home, and they have to be careful everywhere, and they are not as comfortable as in this nunnery. ”
"Cuiwei!" Mama Feng let out a low voice, turned around and went out, opened the door and looked outside, then closed the door and came back, "This kind of nonsense can also be said?!" ”
Cui Wei stuck out her tongue, not daring to say anything more. Yao Yanyu chuckled: "Mama, why do you talk about her?" She's right, and I don't want to go back there anymore. ”
"Didn't my aunt and grandmother say that we should clean up our house in the capital and let the girl move in?"
"Do you believe that?" Yao Yanyu chuckled, "She also said that the house has been rented out by her subordinates without permission, and she must take it back first, then repair it, and let me half of it after it is decorated." Will this come and go next year? ”
"However, even if the girl buys the grange, the aunt and grandmother may not agree to the girl to live." Mama Feng frowned in embarrassment.
Yao Yanyu chuckled: "I have my own way not to go back, but I must pack up my safe place first." ”
"It's cold now, the houses in the Zhuangzi are shabby, and there is no floor heating, how much does the girl suffer when she lives?" Mama Feng is still not at ease.
"So you have to buy it as soon as possible, clean up the house before it gets cold, and you can't be afraid of no floor heating, you can think of other ways!"
Mama Feng sighed slightly, nodded and said, "The girl has made up her mind, and the old slave will go and find a way." ”
