Chapter 8 Chicken Thighs

After Mama Li and Zizhu went to the kitchen again, Mu Jinrou breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat on her forehead, this step was finally over.

In fact, she was very nervous just now, she was taking advantage of the ancients' fear of ghosts and gods, and she also knew what happened to Mama Li's family when they fled the famine and came to the capital. She was the only one left in the family who was pregnant, and if it weren't for the fact that she had a child in her womb, she would have gone with her family.

It was Mu Jinrou's mother who saw her pitiful and brought her into the house on an errand, Zizhu was a few months older than Mu Jinrou. is a child who grew up with Mu Jinrou, and Mama Li has become Mu Jinrou's nurse since then.

But Mu Jinrou didn't know why Mama Li didn't go with her when she was sent outside to recuperate. Since then, the original body has never called Mama Li a nurse, which is a small dissatisfaction.

"Xuezhu, let's continue!" Mu Jinrou lay on the bed and taught Xuezhu scraping little by little.

Xue Zhu cried while scraping, "Miss, does it hurt?" ”

Mu Jinrou gritted her teeth and didn't speak, not because she didn't want to speak, but because she was so painful that she couldn't speak. If it weren't for that breath, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to persevere.

"A little more force!" Even so, Mu Jinrou gritted her teeth and guided Xue Zhu to the various acupuncture points on her body.

She gritted her teeth and shut up, only then did she know how bad this body was, there was no flesh on her body, and it hurt even more.

After blowing the back from top to bottom, I focused on blowing the wind pool, the large vertebrae, the wind gate, the lungs and the shoulder blades, and the front scraped the middle house and the front chest and the foot three miles. Almost everywhere there was a sha, and it was purple red.

This frightened Xue Zhu, seeing this she couldn't do it anymore, which lady from a big family would suffer such a crime.

Mu Jinrou breathed a long sigh of relief, put on her underwear, and lay quietly on the bed. Although the whole body hurts so much, there is an indescribable comfort.

"I'm hungry." It's not noon yet, and everyone hasn't eaten for her toss.

After Xuezhu covered her quilt, she said, "I'll go serve porridge." ”

Not long after, a bowl of gruel was brought to Mu Jinrou, she took a sip and frowned, "This is Chen Mi." ”

It tasted really bad, and it seemed to have a musty smell.

Xuezhu bowed her head and said, "The slave knows that the young lady doesn't like to drink such porridge, but we only have this kind of porridge." ”

Mu Jinrou seemed to remember something again, and sighed: "Alas, I know." In the future, when your young lady earns money, we will eat Bi Stem rice every day. ”

Xue Zhu grinned, "In the future, the slave will rely on the young lady to support her." ”

Mu Jinrou nodded heavily, in fact, she is now relying on Mama Li and two bamboos to do needlework to survive. The government does not provide them with food, and their monthly bills have long been distributed, and it is already very good to be able to get two or three months of monthly bills a year.

After drinking a small bowl of porridge, Mu Jinrou felt alive. Waving his hand for Xuezhu and the others to go down to eat, he closed his eyes and recalled what happened last night.

Maybe people on the verge of life and death can really stimulate endless potential, if you have the same fever at that time as you do now, you will never be able to escape from the small dark house. Then she can only count on that Li Yi who is like a fool to make a hole, who knows that this hole can only be opened in the year of the monkey, and the daylily will be cold by then. Therefore, it is better to ask for everything than to ask for everything!

Not long after, Mama Li came in with the medicine boiled with home remedies.

Mu Jinrou drank a bowl of hot medicine and felt that her body was starting to sweat, so she told them to boil hot water first, and when she was going to take a bath after sweating, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Unexpectedly, this sleep came in the evening, and the thin quilt that came into contact with the skin was also wet, but Mu Jinrou was relaxed. Her mouth curled, and the fever subsided.

After bathing and changing, Mama Li also changed into a new bedding, still with patches, but Mu Jinrou felt very warm, and the bedding had the smell of sunshine, which made her feel at home.

At night, she still ate porridge, but when it was dark, Qiushui came in with the little maid carrying the food box.

As soon as he entered the door, he put on a big shelf, twisted the orchid and pointed out: "This is the roast chicken that the eldest lady specially instructed the kitchen to prepare for the four girls, and then let's go." ”

Mama Li took the food box with trepidation, put the chicken on the plate, and respectfully handed the food box to the little girl, "Thank you for your concern!" ”

Maybe it was her attitude that pleased Qiushui, and said: "Madame was very concerned when she learned of the illness of the fourth girl, and said that she wanted to come to see the fourth girl, but the house was entangled in affairs. When the four girls are better, they will go to Jinlin Courtyard to say goodbye. ”

"Yes, thank you Miss Qiushui. The four girls have not yet gotten up from sleep, and when the four girls are better, the slave and maid will definitely go to pay their respects to Mrs. Xie. Mama Li smiled.

Qiushui blinked, "Well, that's good." You have to go as soon as possible, but don't keep your lady waiting. ”

As he spoke, he took the little girl away step by step.

"Alas!" The three people waiting in the room breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Qiushui leave.

Mu Jinrou didn't fall asleep at all, she could smell the fragrance of roast chicken when she hid in the bed tent, and she was so hungry that she almost drooled, but she still endured it until Qiushui left before she spoke, "Mama, I want to eat chicken legs!" ”

Mama Li helped her down and persuaded, "Miss, you are still sick, it is better to eat something light." ”

Mu Jinrou said indifferently: "I'm all right." My illness is caused by not eating well, and I won't get sick if I eat more good food in the future. ”

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Mama Li and Xue Zhu all lowered their heads, and Mama Li sighed: "It's all our uselessness that makes Miss suffer." ”

Mu Jinrou's hand that just wanted to break the chicken leg stopped in mid-air, coughed twice to hide the embarrassment, and said with a sinking face: "Okay, don't say this again." If it weren't for the money you made by doing needlework, I would have starved to death. Don't worry, this girl will not let you go hungry in the future, and we will have chicken legs to eat every day. Now, come over and eat together! The chicken thighs are mine, though. ”

"This, this can't be helped." Mama Li hurriedly waved her hand, "This is what the eldest lady specially asked the kitchen to cook for the young lady." ”

Mu Jinrou sneered: "She's pitying me, but she can't care so much about the chicken legs in front of her." If you don't finish it today, it will spoil tomorrow, and if you eat it again, you will get sick. You don't want me, a person who has just had a fever, to eat it all? ”

Finally, under various persuasions, the three of them sat on the side and ate the chicken that Mu Jinrou gave them.

Xuezhu and Zizhu felt very happy, and said while eating: "Miss, we must do needlework well, and we will often buy roast chicken for the chickens in the future." ”

"No, you don't! How tiring it is to do needlework. I guess in a few days I will be able to get the monthly case for nearly half a year, and then we will buy chicken to stew it ourselves, and make up for it. Mu Jinrou felt extremely comfortable eating chicken thighs.

Mama Li said, "How does Miss know? Madame is not such a talkative ....... ”

Mu Jinrou smiled, "Aren't you going to ask for peace when I'm good in a few days?" Since the eldest sister sent the chicken leg as promised, then the matter of the monthly case should also have eyebrows, I want to ask who my monthly case is fat! ”
