"Ruo'er, how are you feeling now?"

Miao Guifei fed the bowl of soup to Zhao Huiruo to eat, and after about a stick of incense, she asked with great concern.

Zhao Huiruo, who was sitting in the chair, replied with a relaxed face after exhaling lightly: "Mother, the pain and discomfort in my lower abdomen have almost disappeared, and I am much more comfortable than before." ”

After listening to Zhao Huiruo's answer, Miao Guifei, who had been worried about her stomach before, finally landed the heavy stone hanging on her chest and completely relieved herself.

After breathing a long sigh of relief, Miao Guifei faced Wang Hao, who was standing nearby, and asked curiously: "Wang Sicheng, what is the bowl of soup you brought just now made of, can you tell us what to know?" ”

Faced with Miao Guifei's inquiry, Wang Hao felt that this was not his exclusive secret recipe, so naturally there was nothing to hide, so he blurted out and replied truthfully: "Madam, in fact, there is nothing special in the soup, it is just made of brown sugar and ginger slices brewed with boiling water. Just now, when I brought it over, I picked out the ginger slices and threw them away, just an ordinary bowl of brown sugar water. ”

Miao Guifei originally thought that after Wang Hao went out for a moment, he went outside to grab medicine at the pharmacy in the hall, but what she never expected was that the bowl of soup that her baby daughter Zhao Huiruo ate just now was not made of herbs, but a bowl of brown sugar water with a little ginger slices, which really surprised her.

However, Miao Guifei inadvertently, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Queen Cao sitting next to her, and after listening to Wang Hao's above answer, her face was as usual, not only did she feel a little surprised, but she seemed extremely calm, which surprised her even more.

Queen Cao, who was sitting on a chair like Mount Tai, just glanced at it, and saw through the thoughts of Miao Guifei, who was sitting next to her, and attached it to Miao Guifei's ear and whispered a few words.

As a result, as soon as Queen Cao retracted her body and sat upright, Concubine Miao, who was sitting next to her, suddenly showed a surprised look on her face, and at the same time, she secretly said sadly in her heart: Alas, why is this daughter I gave birth to not close to me, but with Mrs. Cao, who hardly tells me some private words on weekdays, Mrs. Cao knows a lot of things about Ruo'er, and I am kept in the dark many times.

When Miao Guifei thought about it, she felt that Mrs. Cao had no children or daughters under her knees since she entered the palace, the two of them had similar temperaments, and they were commensurate with sisters in private on weekdays.

Since Ruo'er was born, Mrs. Cao has helped them a lot with their mother and daughter, and has taken care of Ruo'er with her to grow up, treating Ruo'er as her own. In any case, Mrs. Cao, who has no children under her knees so far, is also a hard-working woman.

After thinking of this, Miao Guifei balanced a lot in her heart, anyway, if Zhao Huiruo is her daughter, she is Zhao Huiruo's mother, this fact cannot be changed, but I regret why Zhao Huiruo is not a man, so that Zhao Guan's family can have a child under her knees.

As soon as she thought of this, Miao Guifei's eyes would be red, because four years ago, she gave birth to a son for Zhao Guan's family, named Zhao Xin, the word Zongliang, and unfortunately died at the age of two.

Because of the early death of her two-year-old son, Miao Guifei was grief-stricken for more than a year, if it weren't for the fact that Queen Cao often accompanied her to enlighten her in the past two years, Miao Guifei's mental state would not be as good as it is now.

Failing to give birth to an adult son for Zhao Guan's family is not only a heart disease for Empress Cao, but also a heart disease for Miao Guifei, a heart disease for the harem concubines, and naturally a heart disease for Zhao Zhen, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

In this compartment, Miao Guifei was still in the complex emotions of stunned, surprised, and sentimental and couldn't extricate herself, and in the other compartment, Queen Cao, who was sitting on a chair, had been talking for a while, and wanted to ask Wang Hao, but she was ashamed to say it.

After a lot of mental struggle, Empress Cao finally made up her mind and asked Wang Hao, who was standing in front of her, a little shyly: "Wang Sicheng, how do you know these countermeasures about the woman's coming to Kwai Shui?" ”

After the inquiry, Queen Cao saw that Wang Hao, who was standing in front of her, did not answer immediately, so she planned to expose Wang Hao's old background to prevent Wang Hao from deceiving her when he waited for the next answer.

So, Empress Cao suddenly changed her words and continued to ask: "I have heard that you are only in your twenties now, and you have not been married yet, and you have no father or mother, and you are an orphan when you are young, and you have no relatives to take refuge in Tokyo."

"As far as I know, you have never been in or out of the city of Tokyo, nor have you had any contact with any woman. It can be said that since you joined the army and became a battalion soldier, to the time you were incorporated into the street division of Tokyo City, there have been very few opportunities to contact women.

"And what makes me curious is that you know so much about the things to pay attention to when a woman comes to Kwai Shui, where did all these wonderful ideas come from?"

What Wang Hao never expected was that his personal file and life experience in the Street Division were well known to the graceful and luxurious lady sitting in front of him, and he was secretly amazed in his heart.

Originally, Wang Hao weaved a lie about this sharp question raised by Queen Cao and dealt with it, but after Queen Cao exposed his old bottom on the spot, Wang Hao felt that it was not easy for him to hide from the world.

A look of surprise flashed on Wang Hao's cheeks, and his mood quickly returned to normal, and after calming down, he thought of a way to deal with it after only thinking about it for a while.

Wang Hao, who calmed down, first complimented him unhurriedly: "Madam, it seems that your family is not a simple official, and you are definitely a big man in Tokyo City!" Even I, the street secretary, can grasp the archives in such detail, which makes Wang admire. ”

After the compliment, Wang Hao went straight to the point and replied: "What Mrs. said just now is true, Wang has nothing to expire." To make a long story, the reason why Wang was able to learn about the precautions of women during their visit to Kwai Shui was because a few months ago, when I was patrolling the streets of Tokyo, I met more than a dozen red-haired, green-eyed, white-skinned Westerners, including men and women.

"Coincidentally, these Westerners can speak our Tokyo dialect of the Great Song Dynasty, and although the accent is not round, they can hear nine times out of ten.

"They asked me about an inn in the city of Tokyo. Since they didn't know the way, I kindly took them there. On the way, a Western woman who accompanied her suddenly pulled out a half-foot-long strip of cloth from the cloth bag she was carrying on her arm.

I was curious about this thing, so I asked casually, and then I learned from these Westerners that this kind of thing is called sanitary napkins, which were used by his Western women when they came to Kwai Shui. Later, they told some of the women what to pay attention to when they came to Kwai Shui. To say, these Westerners are open and bold in what they say and do.

"Madame can know that several Western women among them, talking about the affairs of the woman's Kwai Shui period, their faces are not red and their hearts are not beating, and their eyebrows are dancing, without any scruples.

"Speaking of sanitary napkins, I have to say that yesterday afternoon, Wang took people to inspect Donghuamen Street, and happened to meet Miss Ruo'er. I accidentally learned that Miss Ruo'er came to Kwai Shui, what happened next, presumably Miss Ruo'er should have told the two ladies, right?! ”

To be able to speak to this extent without blushing and heartbeat, this is definitely a huge challenge for Wang Hao, as for whether the challenge is successful, next, it depends on the feedback of Empress Cao and Miao Guifei, as well as Zhao Huiruo.

At that time, Tokyo, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, was already a metropolis in the world, with a permanent population of more than one million, among them, there were some Westerners who came from afar, Empress Cao lived in the palace, although she had not seen it with her own eyes, but she had also heard people mention the diet and daily life of Westerners, which were very different from them in many aspects.

Regarding the response to the woman's visit to Kwai Shui, Empress Cao also believes that the measures taken by Western women and their Great Song women are naturally very different.

After some careful consideration, Empress Cao felt that what Wang Hao said just now should not be like she was deliberately expiring her, and nine times out of ten it was true, so she chose to believe it for the time being, but it did not completely eliminate the doubts in her heart.

Empress Cao and Concubine Miao both chose Zhao Huiruo, who believed in Wang Hao for the time being, and the pain and discomfort in her lower abdomen had been greatly relieved, but after listening to what Wang Hao said, she was so angry that her teeth were itching.

Zhao Huiruo originally thought that the sanitary napkins sewn by Wang Hao were given to her because the sanitary napkins were used by their Great Song Dynasty women, but they failed to promote it on a large scale, and even Empress Cao and her mother Miao Guifei did not know that there was such a thing in the world.

As a result, what made Zhao Huiruo angry again was that this sanitary napkin turned out to be something used by Western women during Kwai Shui, but the Great Song Dynasty woman had never used it, but she was the first to be used by Wang Hao for experiments.

However, Zhao Huiruo was using the sanitary napkin sewn by Wang Hao himself on his lower body at this time, but he felt that his lower body was very comfortable, especially the sanitary napkin was extremely absorbent to the sunflower water that flowed out.

As the first woman in the Great Song Dynasty to use Wang Hao's hand-sewn sanitary napkins, Empress Cao was very frank and full of praise: "Wang Sicheng, although I have never seen Westerners with my own eyes, I have heard that many customs and habits of Westerners are very different from those of our Great Song Dynasty. And since this sanitary napkin has been passed to you from the Westerners, it is extremely easy to use, and it is also a good thing. ”

Speaking of this, Empress Cao suddenly paused, thought for a moment, changed her words, and asked with some embarrassment: "Wang Sicheng, I have a reluctant request, I hope you can make more sanitary napkins, not only Ruo'er needs to use them, but also my sister and my sister around me."

"Moreover, there are many sisters around me who are suffering from Kwai Shui, you might as well do more, how about I send someone to fetch it in a few days?"
