Chapter 217: Steamed Bun Scheme
This restaurant is called Yunlaiju, and this street is in general, it is also deserted, there are not many customers in the store, after Lu Wanwan and his party entered, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him and greeted him warmly: "This guest, are you eating or staying in the hotel?" ”
Lu Wanwan naturally didn't reply, and the Liuyun beside her had already looked around the hotel, then took out a silver ingot, handed it to the little second-hand and said, "Find a clean room, let's sit for a while and leave." ”
The shopkeeper took the silver, and he was happy, after all, in a remote place like them, business is not very good on weekdays, and it is rare for this line of nobles to come today, and he is so generous, and he is happy in his heart.
"What kind of tea do you want to drink, we have a good dragon well here, do you want to make a pot for you." The little two looked flattering and said to Liuyun.
Liuyun pursed his lips, thinking disdainfully in his heart, what good tea can be in such a small place, "No need, we brought our own tea, you just need to send someone to bring those hot waters." After speaking, Liuyun helped Lu Wan to go upstairs at night.
Lu Wan chose a box with a terrace to enter, stood on the terrace, looked down condescendingly, there were no pedestrians downstairs, only a few little beggars could be seen vaguely, begging for passers-by.
Lu Wanwan stared at those beggars for a while, and thought about it in his heart.
Xiao Er downstairs brought hot water up, Liuyun made tea with hot water, and asked Xiao Er to go to the pastry shop opposite to buy a stack of rose cakes, and then said to Lu Wanwan: "Madam, this rose cake looks fresh, come and eat a little." ”
Lu Wanwan retracted her gaze, nodded slowly, and walked back to the table to sit down, absentmindedly drinking tea and eating snacks.
"You ask Xiao Er to make some steamed buns and send them over." Lu Wanwan suddenly said to Liuyun.
Liuyun was stunned, a little puzzled by Lu Wanwan's intentions, and without waiting for her to ask, Lu Wanwan slowly spoke: "I see that there are many beggars below, very pitiful, since I saw it today." And he wrote with them to eat. ”
Liuyun nodded abruptly when he heard this, and looked at Lu Wanwan's eyes and immediately admired it, thinking that his wife was really a bodhisattva-hearted person.
Liuyun went downstairs and instructed the shopkeeper, who quickly brought up the hot white-flour steamed buns. This steamed bun is already available in the restaurant, but there is no need to make it again.
"Madam, do you want the slave maid to let the maid distribute the steamed buns to those beggars?" Liuyun asked, looking at the table full of more than a dozen steamed buns.
Lu Wanwan shook her head slowly and said, "Don't use it first, I'll go down and send it in person after a while, so that it seems that we are sincerely helping people." ”
Liuyun originally felt that something was wrong. But after thinking about it, if passers-by saw their Zheng family's wife personally handing out steamed buns to beggars, they would definitely praise their wife and the Zheng family, so their Zheng family's reputation would be better.
"Or Madame, you think thoughtfully." Liuyun said with a smile, feeling that his general was really married to a virtuous helper.
"This rose cake is good, you can try a piece too." Lu Wan ate a piece of rose cake in the evening, and said to Liuyun, because Lu Wanwan often gave food to his subordinates on weekdays, so Liuyun did not refuse, and also ate a piece of cake after thanking the reward. It's just that it didn't take long to eat. She felt a dull pain in her stomach, as if she was about to have diarrhea.
Lu Wanwan observed that Liuyun's face was ugly, so he asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with it? ”
Liuyun's face was a little pale, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he said to Lu Wanwan honestly: "Madam, the slave wants to go to the toilet......
"Then go quickly, don't hold back your illness." Lu Wanwan said very understandingly.
Liuyun immediately confessed, and rushed out of the room in a hurry.
Lu Wanwan looked at Liuyun's back, and an apologetic expression flashed on her face, but all she gave Liuyun was a detoxification and intestinal cleansing medicine. Pulling it twice won't hurt your body.
At this moment, Lu Wanwan was the only one in the room, and she immediately tore the handkerchief she was carrying into small strips of cloth, and then dipped her hairpin in lipstick and wrote a line of small characters on those small strips of cloth. Then he kneaded up those small strips of cloth, and poked them into the steamed buns with the cleaned hairpins, and when he finished this qiē, he carefully put the steamed buns away, because the holes in the hairpins were very small, if you didn't look carefully. And I don't see the clues.
Liuyun felt that her stomach was much more comfortable after pulling it a few times, and even her body was much lighter, but it was not at all like the weakness after diarrhea in the past, she was suddenly very puzzled in her heart, she thought that she had eaten something bad and had diarrhea, but now it doesn't look like it.
Lu Wan watched Liuyun come back, looked at her face, and then asked, "Are you better?" ”
Liuyun smiled embarrassedly, and then replied: "The slave and maid are fine, and the lady doesn't have to worry about the slave and maid." ”
Lu Wanwan nodded slowly when she heard this, and said again: "It's not too early, the coachman's carriage should be rented soon, let's go." ”
Liuyun should be, holding the pot of steamed buns, and followed Lu Wanwan out of the door.
When they walked to the door of the restaurant, the coachman had already rented a carriage, and Liuyun instructed the guards to move the things in their carriage to the new carriage first, and then followed Lu Wanwan to distribute steamed buns to the beggars.
Originally, there were not many beggars on this street, only four or five, but Lu Wanwan sent steamed buns at the beginning, and I don't know where seven or eight beggars came out of nowhere, snatching the steamed buns in Liuyun's hand, Lu Wanwan saw that the steamed buns were not enough, and asked the little two to take out some, until each beggar got the steamed buns, she and Liuyun got into the carriage and set off.
Lu Wanwan sat in the carriage, picked up the curtain and looked at a few beggars who were still wandering around not far behind her, with a thoughtful look on her face, she knew that she might not be able to spread the news in this way, she was just gambling, betting that someone would always send the news to Wang Baizhou for the heavy money promised on her cloth, but in fact, the success rate is not high, first of all, how many beggars can read, I'm afraid most of them can't read what is written on her cloth, but she really has no other way, Meng Feiyang's eyeliner is everywhere, As long as she makes a little out-of-the-ordinary move, he will definitely find that he can only take one step at a time like this.
The carriage drove smoothly, and soon arrived at the Li Mansion, Dong Xuan had already sent a maid to wait for them at the door, Lu Wan got out of the carriage late, she greeted her, and respectfully saluted Lu Wanwan and said: "Slave Taoyao, I have seen Mrs. Zheng, my wife has been talking to you early in the morning, slave and maid will take you over." ”
"There was a delay on the way. It made my sister wait for a long time. Lu Wanwan smiled apologetically and said to Na Taoyao. Then he followed her into the house.
The Li Mansion and the Dong Mansion are generally scholarly families, but there are not many people in the Li family who are officials. Most of the men in the clan are scholars, and the only academy in Qicheng is opened by the Li family, and its reputation in Qicheng is higher than that of the Zheng family.
Lu Wanwan followed Tao Yao all the way to the courtyard where Dong Xuan lived in the backyard, Dong Xuan's husband was the second room of the Li family. The location of the yard is not good, but it is not bad.
As soon as Lu Wanwan entered the courtyard, Dong Xuan had already walked over head-on, walked quickly in front of Lu Wanwan, and said complainingly: "My sister really made me wait for a long time!" ”
Lu Wanwan smiled apologetically and explained: "Originally, it would have been able to arrive soon, but the axle of the carriage was broken halfway, so I had to temporarily rent another carriage, which was delayed for a while." ”
Dong Xuan naturally didn't really think Lu Wan was slow, and listened to her explanation. smiled and pulled her into the house.
Dong Xuan's room is not very luxurious, but there is a smell of books everywhere, whether it is the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities hanging on the wall, or the precious pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, they all reveal the extraordinary taste of the owner of the room.
Lu Wanwan looked at it for a while, and then praised: "Sister, this room is really elegantly furnished. ”
Dong Xuan smiled when he heard this: "These are all made by my cousin, he has always been obsessed with poetry and books, and likes to collect those ancient calligraphy, paintings and ink treasures, I don't bother to care about him, so I let him toss." ”
Lu Wanwan smiled. didn't say anything, listening to Dong Xuan say this, her husband is not a complete nerd.
Dong Xuan was already talkative, although Lu Wan didn't say much. But when Dong Xuan started talking, the two also talked happily, and an hour passed unconsciously.
"It's almost noon, let's eat first, and then we'll talk after eating." Dong Xuan said this, and asked the maids to set the meal.
Dong Xuan is really spicy. Half of the dishes on it are spicy, and the other half is probably to take care of Lu Wanwan's taste, and the dishes that are not spicy are chosen.
Dong Xuan pulled Lu Wan's evening table, personally sandwiched a piece of buckle meat for her, and said: "Seeing that you are so thin, eat more meat, otherwise how can your body be good." ”
Lu Wanwan smiled, she would not refuse, she picked up the meat with chopsticks, and just sent it to her mouth, but she smelled the heavy smell of oil on the meat, and there was a feeling of nausea in her abdomen, and she couldn't help retching.
"What's going on? I haven't made this dish so unpalatable, it makes you vomit. Dong Xuan saw Lu Wanwan's appearance, immediately got up and patted her back gently, and said with a frown.
Lu Wanwan retched for a while, drank a few sips of tea, and then suppressed the nausea in his chest, smiled apologetically with Dong Xuan, and said: "It's not the problem of this dish, it's me, somehow, I want to vomit when I smell the meat, maybe it's stomach flatulence." ”
Dong Xuan listened to Lu Wanwan's words, but his expression moved slightly, sat down beside her, and asked with a very stern expression: "Sister, sister asked you, when was the last time you had a lunar eclipse?" ”
Lu Wanwan was stunned when she heard this, and soon thought of what Dong Xuan thought, but there was a panic in her heart, her menstrual affairs were not allowed, sometimes it was normal to come once every two months, and there were many things that happened during this time, so she didn't care about this menstrual affairs, and now when Dong Xuan asked like this, she remembered that she had indeed not had a menstrual affair for a long time......
Dong Xuan saw Lu Wanwan in a daze, thinking that he had guessed correctly, with a smile on his face, he whispered: "You are also a fool, looking at your appearance, eighty percent is there." ”
Lu Wanwan woke up in shock, and hurriedly shook his head in defense: "No, my stomach has always been bad, because I used to drink too much medicine, and I often had nausea and nausea, but it was not what you thought." ”
Dong Xuan was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he still said with some reluctance: "I see that you really look like you have it, you better go back and find a doctor to see if it's safe." ”
Lu Wanwan smiled a little absentmindedly, and said casually: "I don't know my own body yet, besides, I've been sick for so many years, and I'm half a doctor, I can't make a mistake about this kind of thing." ”
When Dong Xuan heard Lu Wanwan say this, he shook his head with some regret and said, "That's it, that's a pity, I thought you really had it......"
Liu Suqiang resisted the urge to take his pulse, and pretended to be casual and said to Dong Xuan: "Looking at your nervous appearance, I don't know if I think you have it, my sister has been married for some time, why haven't you had a child yet?" ”
Hearing Lu Wanwan ask about this, Dong Xuan's expression suddenly darkened, and he sighed faintly, before he said: "I don't know what's going on, I've been married to my husband for almost two years, and my stomach hasn't moved, my mother has found several doctors to show me, and they all said that I have no problem, but somehow, I ......just can't get pregnant."
Lu Wanwan looked at Dong Xuan's sad appearance, thought for a moment, and then spoke: "Sister doesn't mind letting me give you a pulse." ”
Dong Xuan naturally didn't mind, rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand in front of Lu Wanwan.
Lu Wanwan carefully checked Dong Xuan's pulse and made sure that her body was indeed fine, so she slowly withdrew her hand.
"My sister's body is really fine, if you calculate the date of intercourse, it is not difficult to get pregnant, but listening to your sister, it seems that I have been trying for a long time, and there is no movement, so maybe ...... It's not your problem. Lu Wanwan pondered his words for a moment and said to Dong Xuan.
Dong Xuan was silent for a while when he heard this, and then sighed and said: "Actually, I also thought about what you said, but my cousin is a man after all, and neither my mother nor my mother-in-law thinks it's his problem, and I don't know how to talk to him about this kind of thing." ”
"If my sister believes me, I can give you some dietary therapy prescriptions, and you can make supplements for your husband according to the prescription, maybe it will have some effect." Lu Wanwan knew that most men would avoid medical treatment when they encountered this kind of thing, but this would only hurt the woman in the end, so he thought that he could help Dong Xuan.
Dong Xuan only thought that Lu Wan was kind, held her hand, and sighed lightly: "My sister's kindness sister understands it, and I also see it, if I still don't get pregnant in a few years, I will let my mother-in-law make the decision to give my cousin a concubine, and when the time comes, she can give birth to a child, and it will be the same under my knees." ”
Lu Wanwan listened to Dong Xuan's words, but couldn't help frowning, and said very indignantly: "Sister, it's obviously not your problem, you don't have to ......"
"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's eat first." I'll talk about it after dinner. Dong Xuan obviously didn't want to continue this topic, so he re-sandwiched a list of bamboo shoots for Lu Wanwan and said. (To be continued.) )
