Chapter 43: Favor Returned
Today's weather is indeed very good, the sun hangs high, the wisps of sunlight fall on people's bodies warm, not cold or hot, just right, walking on the winding corridor, smelling the fragrance of plum blossoms faintly wafting in the distance, a warm and quiet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But the tranquility of the high-ranking families was short-lived.
Before Bai Shuixin and Cuimu entered the Ning Xin Courtyard, they heard an earnest cry coming from inside.
"Grandmother, you want to save Shui Rou, now that my mother is gone, the little maid in the house doesn't want me to be the master at all, woo woo woo..."
"Woooooo Grandmother, I beg you, grandmother, to let me move in with you. Before, Shui Rou was ignorant, woo woo... In the future, it's good to let Shui Rou serve you tea and water under your knees... β

"Granddaughter greets grandmother." When Bai Shuixin entered the room, he saw Bai Shuirou, who had not seen her for a month, kneeling at the feet of the old lady, crying out sadly and sadly. A woman on the ground is thin, her emaciated face can no longer see the brilliance of the past, her eye sockets are deep, and the cyan under her eyes can be seen clearly even if she applies a little powder.
Sure enough, adversity makes people grow, and after not seeing Bai Shuirou for a month, she learned to restrain her emotions, and she no longer felt hatred when she saw Bai Shui's heart. Just now Bai Shuixin came in, except for the breath that was a little disordered when he heard Bai Shuixin's voice, there was nothing else, and the hatred in his eyes was also hidden, making people look at it unreally, as if it was really gone.
"Okay, okay, you get up, when did the old body say that it doesn't matter to you, it's okay to suffer a little, and restrain your temper."
The old lady was troubled by Bai Shuirou's noise, and when she looked at Bai Shui's heart, the old lady just nodded.
Bai Shuixin saw the old lady rubbing her forehead tiredly, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Grandmother has a headache, can my granddaughter press it for you?" β
"Shuixin, come here." The old lady stretched out her hand and called Bai Shuixin.
Bai Shui Xinlian moved lightly, went around the back of the old lady, stretched out his slender jade hand, pressed his index finger on the temples on both sides of the old lady, and pressed it slightly, three times on the left and three times on the right, and deepened his strength after a weekγγγγγγ After pressing for more than ten minutes, seeing that the pain on the old lady's face had been reduced again, Bai Shuixin asked playfully.
"Grandmother, how good is your granddaughter's craft?"
The childlike tone of the bridge also blinked mischievously.
provoked the old lady to laugh, patted the soft collapse beside her, and the serious expression on her face faded a little, making her more comfortable and serene.
"Hahaha... You leather monkey, this craft is good. β
Today's Bai Shuirou was unusual, standing aside obediently, and when the old lady's words fell, Rourou interjected.
"No wonder my grandmother doted on my sister, when did she learn such a trade? I also taught my sister when I went back, so that my sister could also do her filial piety to her grandmother. β
The words were not generous and decent, with full of envy, and there was a little bit of caution between the lines, for fear that Bai Shuixin and the old lady would refuse.
The old lady opened her eyes, in the end, she was the granddaughter who was pampered in the palm of her hand, not to mention that before Bai Shuixin, Bai Shuirou was the granddaughter closest to her.
Now that Bai Shuirou is so miserable, naturally she can't let it go, so she finally nodded to Mama Xia and ordered: "Xia Yu, you go and send someone to Qingxin Xiaozhu to move Shuirou's things to the West Wing, clean up well, and let Shuirou accompany me, the old woman, in the next few days." β
"Yes."
Mama Xia, who had been standing aside silently, took the two little maids and took the order to step out.
Seeing that the old lady was willing to help her, Bai Shuirou stepped forward with small steps, squatted down and pressed the old lady's legs.
"Although Shui Rou's craftsmanship is not as good as that of my sister, it's still okay to pinch my grandmother's legs, and grandmother shouldn't dislike Shui Rou's clumsiness."
Where are the two hands on the old lady's legs still have the white and slender appearance before, and the skeletal hands are full of chilblains, bruises and purples are not pitiful.
"Come, show your hand to Grandmother."
The old lady stretched out her hand and put Bai Shuirou's pale-eyed fingers in the palm of her hand, and her heart and liver hurt slightly. Even if you are usually arrogant and domineering, it is also spoiled by yourself, and the child is still young and can be taught slowly. Since Tian's death, the child has suffered too much, and when he thinks of this, his heart is bitter for a while. In such a cold weather, I wore a single coat, my little hands were cold, and I didn't say a word.
Bai Shuirou raised her misty eyes, and was touched by the old lady, she shrank slightly in pain, and took a breath, "hiss~" gritted her teeth and comforted the old lady.
"It's not tight, grandmother, just apply some medicine to your gentle hands."
The old lady hurriedly called Mama Liu, who was also waiting silently on the side, to get the medicine.
Mama Liu brought a basin of hot water, wiped off the blood around the wound with a towel to Bai Shui, and dug out a little golden chilblain cream with cotton and gently applied it to the soybean-sized wound.
During the whole process, Bai Shuirou's body trembled, her teeth bit her lip, and she didn't cry out in pain, which made the old lady feel distressed for a while. When Bai Shuirou got the medicine, Mama Xia also came back and told her that the west wing had been cleaned up.
The old lady waved her hand, asked Mama Liu to take Bai Shuirou to change into thicker clothes, and then go to rest and rest, and then turned her head to Mama Xia and said sharply.
"I'll see who is so bold to me like this, Miss Prime Minister! Xia Yu, you go to carefully build a trip again, and kill those bold minions. β
The old lady trembled angrily and threw out a sentence, then closed her eyes tightly and leaned against the edge of the collapse.
When Mama Xia heard this, she respectfully blessed herself, and then took the errand and withdrew from Ningxin Courtyard.
Bai Shuixin, who was sitting on the couch next to him, took this scene into his eyes and hung his head, making it impossible to see the look under his eyes. Bai Shuirou's trick of pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic undoubtedly succeeded in attracting the favor of the old lady. It's just that the poor maid with a pure heart and a conspiracy has made this unclean prime minister have a few more unjust souls.
After a long time, he sighed softly
Seeing that the old lady was tired and asleep, Bai Shuixin picked up the blanket on the side and covered the old lady's body, and quietly retreated.
Just when Bai Shuixin's figure disappeared into Ningxin Courtyard, the old lady who was sleeping opened his eyes, glowing with fine light, and there was still a little bit of what he had just woken up.
"Shui Xin, as the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the old body hopes that you can understand that the palms and backs of your hands are all meat, how can I watch Shui Rou suffer."
The old lady got up and was helped by Mama Liu into the inner room, and a murmur wafted in the air full of sandalwood.
Only an empty curtain of the door that hung down and swayed, embroidered with magpies climbing branches, listened to itγγγγγγ
