Courtyard. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After entering the courtyard gate, a few steps away from the house, Fang Nian hurriedly trotted out, looking very anxious, "Fourth lady, I heard that you were punished, where are you injured?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Jing Ci smiled, and a warm current flowed out of her heart, she couldn't imagine that this little girl would be so worried about her.

"Everyone said you were punished heavily, but where did you get hurt? Don't hide it from your slaves. Fang Nian didn't believe it, and looked around for the scars on his master's body.

"It's really okay," Jing Ci spread his arms and spun around in a circle, "Look, it's okay." ”

Fang Nian actually carefully examined it......

"Alright, alright, go and help me get ready for the bath." Jing Ci smiled and waved.

Seeing that the master was really fine, Fang Nian responded happily, "Yes." ”

Jing Ci walked briskly towards the house.

Finally came back, as soon as she approached the couch, she lay down on her back, I really missed this couch, comfortable and soft......

Jing Ci slowly closed her eyes, why did her grandmother come from front to back...... She said that when she was young, she had been trained by a harsh housewife, and it had something to do with that......

While she was thinking about reasoning, the sound of a series of quarrels outside disturbed her thoughts.

Jing Ci had to open his eyes and look at the young girl standing on the side, all of them looked inexplicable, and both of them heard Fang Nian's voice. Jing Ci then got up and walked outside the house, and the young girl walked in the direction of the quarrel......

"Why treat us harshly and let us do repetitive work!"

"It's just that when we served the maid before, we didn't have her soup bath so often."

"When you're the queen! I don't look at what status I am asking for so much now! ”

The two maids with double buns were high-spirited, with a pestle on the side, shouting loudly, looking unconvinced.

"You two, dogs look down on people! Do whatever your Lord commands you to do! How can you have your beak! Fang Nian shouted back and reprimanded loudly.

In the bathing room, there was a mess, two buckets fell to the ground, Fang Nian blushed with his hands on his waist, and quarreled with the two maids.

"What's going on?" Jing Ci strode in.

Fang Nian was stunned, turned around suddenly, and didn't expect the master to come over, "Fourth lady......"

"I'm asking you what's going on." Jing Ci made a face, and she heard the conversation clearly.

The two maids were also stunned, the first time they saw the cold color of the fourth lady.

"These two dog minions were lazy and used yesterday's bath water, and I found out." Fang Nian snorted coldly and spoke sharply.

"Why do you say we didn't fetch water today?" The handyman pouted and looked stubborn.

"Humph! Are you stupid to me? The bucket is dry! ”

The two maids looked at each other, hesitated, and slowly knelt on the ground.

"Fourth lady, the slave and maid are flashing their waists today, and they can't get water, please forgive the four women." One of the maids pretended to be pitiful.

"Fourth lady, even if we go to fetch water, we will be bullied by the maids in the other courtyard, ridiculed at light, bullied at worst, slaves and maids dare not go out, please forgive the fourth lady." The other maid also looked aggrieved.

Thinking that yesterday Jing Ci ordered to bathe, but after they boiled the water, she went to the courtyard, so today they used yesterday's water and did not go to the well to draw water again.

"That's it, yesterday's is yesterday's." Jing Ci waved her hand, she was not a person who would treat others harshly and let them repeat their work, no wonder there were complaints.

"Thank you for your compassion!" The two maids kowtowed, and then retreated as if fleeing for their lives.

"Fourth lady......" Fang Nian wanted to speak, but Jing Ci interrupted her and said softly: "Go and prepare clean clothes." ”

Fang Nian was unwilling and helpless, but he had to agree and return to the inner room to get clean clothes.

In the bathing room, the bath tub behind the screen is filled with water and filled with flower petals.

Jing Ci took off the hairpin, her long black and bright hair hung down like a waterfall, shook her head gently, and then slowly took off her skirt, clothes, and hair......

The young girl on the other side of the screen waited quietly, and when she saw that the master had hung all the clothes on Mu Xuan, she said, "Fourth lady, will the slave take out the clothes?" "The maids in the courtyard all know that the master doesn't like to have people around when he bathes.

"Yes."

A green silk hair is draped over the snow-white smooth fragrant shoulders, lifting the slender legs, touching the water with the toes, and stepping into the bath tub...... Sit down on the bath seat.

The water is not hot enough.

"Green girl?" Jing Ci called tentatively.

There was no response.

That's it, it's time to come later.

Time flowed slowly, the water temperature became cooler, but no one came.

Jing Ci looked at Mu Xuan in the empty bathroom, Fang Nian had been going to get a few clothes for too long, she shrank unconsciously, and hugged herself with her arms.

The sound of quarrels gradually came from outside, and Jing Ci listened carefully, it was the voice of Fang Nian and the maids.

Jing Ci frowned helplessly, shrunk back, goosebumps raised a little bit. In autumn, the weather cools quickly, and the original warm water is getting cooler and cooler...... She couldn't help but tremble and said loudly, "Fang Nianβ€”"

The young girl walked in slowly with a handkerchief at this time, and was startled when she saw Jing Ci, who was constantly shivering in the bathtub and her face was pale.

"Fourth, fourth lady, hurry up." Even if she is as calm as a young girl, she is panicked at this moment.

The young girl hurriedly wiped the water droplets on her body for the master, and Fang Nian happened to walk in with her clothes and scolding, "The dog slave is really too deceitful, dare to be lazy and not smoke clothes...... Fourth lady, what's wrong with you? She looked at her trembling master with wide eyes and a panicked expression.

"The fourth lady has a cold, hurry up and cook ginger soup." The young girl didn't look back, and said to Fang Nian, who was stunned.

"Good, good!" Fang Nian turned around and trotted out, ran back after running a few steps, and stuffed the clean clothes in his hand into the hands of the young girl.

Yawn –

Jing Ci sneezed.

After putting on the skirt, Jing Ci shrank out of the bathing room. A few maids in the courtyard whispered in detail, deliberately suppressed the volume, and sat comfortably basking in the sun.

Jing Ci ignored them, walked straight into the house, walked to the inner room and sat on the bed. The young girl hurriedly took out the thick quilt and wrapped it in layers for the master, and turned around to pour hot tea.

Not long after, Fang Nian hurried into the inner room with a bowl of hot ginger soup.

"It's cooked, it's cooked."

"Come on, Fourth Lady, hurry up and drink."

Jing Ci sat on the bed, took the ginger soup presented by Fang Nian, and scooped the ginger soup into his mouth spoonful by spoonful...... Just because her grandmother gave her a face in front of everyone last night, now even the maid in her yard is beginning to be unsatisfied.

The water in Houmen is deep, the family is prosperous, and the cold and warm are self-aware.

Fortunately, Fang Nian and the young girl are the same as ever.

The old ginger warmed up, and the body gradually warmed up.

"Fourth lady, the doctor in the house is here." Qingnu said.

"I'm already fine, this little cold, I don't need to see a doctor."

"Fourth lady, you just invited Doctor Zhang, you want to see the 'bath bean recipe', did you forget?"

"I almost forgot." Jing Ci lifted the thick quilt, got up to tidy up her skirt, and the young girl combed her hair, and only went out to meet the guests when it was tidy.

When Dr. Zhang, who was in the guest seat, saw the host coming out, he quickly got up, "I've seen the four ladies, the four ladies are fine!" "This man actually made a big salute.

It doesn't make sense for the doctor to salute, so Jing Ci hurriedly stepped forward, "Doctor Zhang doesn't have to be polite. ”

She looked at Dr. Zhang in front of her, this person was about fifty years old, quite fat, with small eyes, and his eyes flashed and flashed.

"Hearing that the fourth lady was unwell, Zhang was really frightened, and immediately set off and hurried over, just begging not to delay the fourth lady's condition, otherwise Zhang really deserved to die." This person has a flamboyant tongue and good words.

"Doctor Zhang, please take a seat." Jing Ci also walked towards the couch.

Fang Nian brought tea to Dr. Zhang, reluctantly, and put it on the table with a bang.

Doctor Zhang was taken aback by Fang Nian, but he still looked at Jing Ci with a hippie smile, "I don't know where the fourth lady is uncomfortable?" ”

"It's not that I'm unwell, I asked Dr. Zhang to come just to ask what ingredients are in the 'bath bean recipe' you prepared for your grandmother?"

As soon as Jing's words came out, Dr. Zhang's smile froze a little.

He lowered his head and picked up the teacup, and while fiddling with the lid of the teacup, he said: "That 'bath bean recipe' is indeed matched by Zhang, but it's just ...... I won't tell you, it's Zhang's ancestral remedies. If the four ladies like it, Zhang is willing to serve the four ladies and grab a few packs for the four ladies. ”

Jing Ci hesitated, since it is someone's ancestral prescription, don't make it difficult for others, it doesn't matter if there is no prescription and ready-made medicine, "That's fine." ”

"It's just ......," Dr. Zhang said with a look of embarrassment, and he stopped talking.
