Chapter 21: Rescuing Aunt Hu

"I don't know why the eldest lady has abdominal pain? Snare drum, can you get the news? Meng Xiaoran wanted to try, if she could save Aunt Hu, it would be her kindness to repay Xiaocui for these days.

Xiaogu hesitated, and Meng Xiaoran took out a few copper plates from his arms and gave them to her, "This one will buy you some snacks to eat." ”

Xiaogu immediately took it over, and hurriedly slipped out during the break, and came back after a while, and when Li's mother saw her, she scolded: "You girl, sneak out and be lazy again, do you want to eat at night?" ”

Xiaogu hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "Mother Li, I was wrong, I'll go do something!" After speaking, he ran into the big kitchen, and after a while, he came to Meng Xiaoran's side again, and told her the news he heard, "I heard that the eldest lady's yard invited a doctor, and the doctor said that the eldest lady's sunflower water is here, and it is not suitable to eat spicy, this will be lying in the house, I heard that the master has passed." ”

It seems that this eldest lady is very favored, Meng Xiaoran thought, and then thought, if she is not favored, how can she have the confidence to fight with her stepmother? She shook her head and asked, "Did the doctor prescribe medicine to the eldest lady, is she still in pain now?" ”

Xiaogu shook his head and said: "The doctor is a man, how can he understand this, just let the eldest lady not eat raw cold and spicy, and then leave, the eldest lady is still rolling on the bed in pain, the old lady seems to be angry, Aunt Hu is miserable this time." ”

Meng Xiaoran nodded, if this is the case, it is easy to do, if she guesses correctly, this eldest lady should have eaten spicy stimulation during menstruation, so she will have abdominal pain, she walked into the kitchen and found ginger and brown sugar, ginger brown sugar water, which is very effective for menstrual cramps, and she often drinks this from herself.

She secretly thought in her heart that if she could succeed this time, it would be a gain for her, at least she could attract the attention of the lord and the lady.

Xiao Cui and Xiao Gu stood aside curiously, watching her wash and peel the ginger, cut it into slices, put it in a pot, add water, pour a lot of brown sugar into it, and boil it slowly. Mother Li also came over at this time, and she looked at Meng Xiaoran with some displeasure, "Ruhua, why don't you wash your dishes well, what are you doing in the kitchen?" ”

Xiao Gu explained on the side: "Mother Li, Ruhua said that she had a way to save Aunt Hu, this is a soup made by Ruhua, and it is said that the eldest lady will not have abdominal pain if she drinks it." ”

Mother Li was a little surprised, and then glanced at Xiao Cui, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, and asked, "Really?" ”

Meng Xiaoran nodded, "Mom, look at it, if Ruhua has half a sentence, she will be punished by her mother when she comes back." Mother Li didn't say more, Aunt Hu and she were brought by Mrs. from her mother's house, the two have been in the same place for decades, and they can be regarded as old sisters with feelings, if this Ruhua can really save her, then it is really Amitabha.

It wasn't until the small half pot of water boiled that only one bowl of water was left, that Meng Xiaoran filled the ginger brown sugar water inside, and then looked at Li's mother and said, "Please also ask my mother to find someone to send to Ruxue Pavilion and give it to the eldest lady." ”

Meng Xiaoran himself didn't dare to go to Ruxue Pavilion anymore, but who would dare to touch the head at this time? Mother Li frowned and looked around, and finally said, "You go with me, since you did it, then you will send it." ”

Meng Xiaoran was shocked in her heart, if she went over with Mother Li, then she couldn't move her hands and feet on her face, how could this be good? She began to regret that she was strong, although she wanted to be in the limelight, but if Liu Ruxue found out that she had deceived her before, it would be troublesome.

"What are you still doing? Don't go yet. Mother Li looked at Meng Xiaoran who was standing in place with her head bowed a little impatiently, thinking that she was in a daze again.

Meng Xiaoran took a deep breath, forget it, she can only gamble, I hope that Liu Ruxue is so painful that she doesn't have the heart to pay attention to herself at this time.

Carrying a food box in his hand, he followed Mother Li all the way to Ruxue Pavilion, the atmosphere of Ruxue Pavilion at this time was very solemn, a large number of maids and small maids knelt in the yard, the eldest lady had a stomachache, the doctor couldn't help it, they could only follow the disaster, everyone saw Mother Li coming, their eyes flew over like a blade, if it wasn't for their big kitchen mistakes, how could they be punished?

Mother Li looked at everyone's eyes and felt very uncomfortable, but she had to bite the bullet and say to the maid standing at the door: "Miss Qiulu, please go and report to the eldest lady, our big kitchen Ruhua used the family secret recipe to cook a bowl of soup, which is very effective, and the eldest lady will be much better after taking it." ”

Qiu Lu glanced at her suspiciously, then looked at Ruhua who was following her with her head lowered, and finally snorted coldly, "Send it in, you don't dare to play any tricks at this time!" ”

Mother Li's old face froze, and she was so babbled by a little girl, this was the first time, she endured the anger in her heart and followed in with a smile.

As soon as I stepped into the door of the inner courtyard, I heard a burst of shouting, "How do you waste serve the eldest lady?" If the eldest lady has a little difference, I will let you all go to Hades one by one! ”

The three of them were all frightened by these words, and Meng Xiaoran guessed that this person should be the Prime Minister Liu Yingyuan, she thought back to the booklet that Shen Qian sent her a few days ago.

It is written about the situation of all the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the first is the Prime Minister, I remember that it is written on it is thoughtful, vicious and abnormal, but it is an infatuated person, and the original deceased wife was a childhood sweetheart, but the deceased wife died of illness soon after giving birth to the current eldest lady Liu Ruxue, Liu Ruxue and her first mother's portrait, so Liu Cheng is very fond of it, it can be said that the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, only when it is about the eldest lady, can you see Liu Cheng angry Prime Minister, which shows its importance.

Qiu Lu was scared in her heart, but she still walked in and reported to Liu Yingyuan, who was angry, "Master, someone came to the big kitchen, saying that he used a family secret recipe to make soup, which is useful for the eldest lady's illness." ”

When Liu Yingyuan heard this, he immediately looked over, glanced at his wife sitting on the side, and then said, "Let them in." ”

Qiu Lu retreated, and after a while, she brought Mother Li and Meng Xiaoran in, Mother Li knelt down and saluted, and said what she said before, Liu Yingyuan had calmed down at this time, but the momentum was still very scary, but it was a cold glance, which made Mother Li's whole body cold, and a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out behind her.

"Send it in and give it to the eldest lady." Liu Yingyuan instructed Qiu Lu, who was standing aside, and then turned his head, looked at Mother Li and Meng Xiaoran who were kneeling on the ground, and said, "If it's not good, you can kneel outside the courtyard until the eldest lady is well." ”

Mother Li lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, but the cold sweat on her face kept flowing down, and her mind was full of turns, and finally she mustered up the courage to raise her head, "This decoction ...... Be...... It's like a flower, she said she can save the eldest lady. ”

Meng Xiaoran sneered, Mother Li must have wanted to ask for credit at first, but now when she saw that the situation was wrong, she began to clear up the relationship, but she can understand that it is a matter of life and death, who can have the courage to bear it for others?

Who is Yoo Ying-won? After being immersed in the court for so many years, he naturally knew what Mother Li was thinking, so he didn't pursue it, and looked at Meng Xiaoran who was kneeling behind her.

"Like a flower? Keep your head up. Meng Xiaoran clasped his hands tightly, slowly raised his head, and unexpectedly saw a trace of surprise flashing in Liu Yingyuan's eyes, but it quickly returned to normal, and the prime minister's wife on the side was slightly surprised when she saw Meng Xiaoran's face, and then took the handkerchief and put it under her nose and wiped it gently, but the blocked lips were hooked up with a smile.

Although Liu Yingyuan is nearly forty years old, he has no old sense at all, he looks handsome and extraordinary, and has a unique introverted temperament of a mature man.

"Ruhua, you said this is your family secret recipe?" Liu Yingyuan's voice was very magnetic, revealing a coldness, Meng Xiaoran nodded, "This is taught by the slave's mother." ”

After a while, Qiu Lu walked out with an empty bowl, and Liu Yingyuan immediately asked her, "How is the eldest lady?" ”

Qiu Lu nodded with a happy face, "The eldest lady drank all the bowls of soup, and now she is much better, and she no longer complains of pain." ”

Liu Yingyuan's face was happy, and he looked at Meng Xiaoran with satisfaction, and then Meng Xiaoran continued: "If you cover your abdomen with a stove, it will also relieve the pain." ”

As soon as Liu Yingyuan heard this, she nodded to Qiu Lu, she immediately went down, went out for a while, came in with a hand stove, hurriedly walked into the inner room, and said to Liu Ruxue: "Miss, try it with a stove on your abdomen." The stove was wrapped in a silk handkerchief and stuffed into Liu Ruxue's abdomen, and almost instantly, Liu Ruxue felt a lot more comfortable in her abdomen.

Seeing this, Qiu Lu went out to report again, Liu Yingyuan knew that his daughter was fine, and he was in a very comfortable mood, and he was even more satisfied when he looked at Meng Xiaoran who was kneeling on the ground, and immediately said: "Get up quickly, there are many rewards!" ”

The prime minister's wife on the side looked at Meng Xiaoran with a deep expression, and then stood up, "I'm relieved that Ruxue is okay, master, I'll go in and see her." So saying, he went into the inner chamber.

Mother Li took Meng Xiaoran back to the big kitchen, Aunt Hu's death crime could be avoided, and the living crime could not be escaped, and finally she was sent back with 20 boards, everything was settled, and in the afternoon, the reward was sent over, 20 taels of silver, 2 gold hairpins, and a piece of cloth.

This soup was boiled by Meng Xiaoran, and the reward was also given to her by the prime minister, even if others were red, they couldn't say anything, but she still quietly gave the cloth to Li's mother, in case she would make things difficult for herself in the future.

Obviously, Meng Xiaoran did the right thing this time, Mother Li was already a little sorry for her because of today's incident, and then she gave her the fine silk rewarded by the master, and she was naturally happy.

The next day, Meng Xiaoran was promoted to sous chef, Aunt Hu was beaten on the board, and naturally she couldn't cook, so during this time, the original sous chef was on top, and Meng Xiaoran was temporarily promoted to be a sous chef to help out.
