002 Cough
When Cai Hui returned to the house, Du Sheng had just turned off the lights and came out.
"Have you rested?"
The two lowered their voices and left the house, and Du Sheng replied: "I don't know what grievances Miss Jiu'er has suffered, I'm afraid that I will be investigated, this person is good!" After being wronged, some people gave their heads. ”
Shaking his head and snorting twice as he spoke.
Hearing this, Cai Hui's heart couldn't help but sink, and she took out a purse from her sleeve and stuffed it into Du Sheng's hand with a smile: "Good brother, you have always been towards me when you have something, what does the master mean?" ”
The two worked together, Du Sheng turned his purse upside down, and he didn't hide it from her: "I just listened to it, it seems that the Jiu'er girl has a hand injury, and the master asked me to check it, eh, don't make a noise about this, don't startle the snake, if I don't check anything, the master will peel my skin!" ”
After the exchange, Cai Hui returned to her own room.
Du Sheng's words slammed into her ears like feet, and she couldn't close her eyes after tossing and turning for a long time, she lifted the quilt and sat up.
There was a small sound of rustling outside the window, and from time to time there was a creak of snow pressing on the branches, and a piercing chill came up from the bottom of her heart.
In the dead of night, the whole of Bianjing fell into silence and tranquility, until the first steamed bun shop in the west of the city was lit by candlelight.
Ji Juan slept lightly last night, got dressed and got out of bed in a daze, and when she pushed the door open, a chill hit her, and she couldn't help but shiver.
When she got used to the cold outside the house, she couldn't help but take two deep breaths, only to feel that the light of the day was clear and sparse!
There are rules for breakfast, take out the ingredients prepared in advance, and start to serve the first meal of today's sixteenth master.
Thinking that he seemed to like the bone broth yesterday, he went to the ice box and took out the bone broth that was condensed into frozen pieces, and scooped two spoonfuls into a hot pot.
Breakfast menus include shredded chicken soup with bone broth, assorted pumpkin cups, preserved plum with honey sauce, crystal yam cake, and a basket of xiao long bao stuffed with green onions.
I heard that before she came, the sixteenth master's breakfast was eight dishes and two soups, but now it has been greatly reduced by half, saying that there is no need to waste food.
Ji Wanle's ease.
When Du Sheng quickly tied the last green spike jade pendant to Yin Chi, Cai Ping entered the house and said that breakfast had been prepared.
Yin Chi Pu's big fan-like hand waved, and Du Sheng hurriedly stepped aside, observing his words.
"Let her in."
It should be that after a while, Ji Juan entered the house with breakfast.
"Little one, come and help you!" Du Sheng smiled attentively, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Yin Chi.
"If you are so diligent, why don't you take care of the stables together?"
Du Sheng, who said this, almost knelt down directly with a soft knee, and shouted in his heart, Lord, Lord, your temperament has changed in time for June, can't there be a rule? In the long run, the little heart can't stand it!
Ji Juan didn't seem to hear it, and put the dishes in order, and then lowered his eyebrows and stood aside.
"It's tight in the house, you all go out."
Yin Chi said, reaching out and loosening a sable fur collar around his loose neck.
Ji Wan, who was about to follow and withdraw, was suddenly grabbed by him, raised his head in surprise, and was about to speak, but the person opposite made a silent movement.
Seeing that the door was closed again, Ji Juan was secretly anxious, but a small porcelain vase was stuffed into his hand.
"Take care of your hands, you can't see ugly things." The tone was a little disgusted.
Rubbing the delicate porcelain fetus with his fingertips, Ji Wan's heart was slightly calm, and he thanked him softly.
As he spoke, the man was already sitting cross-legged on the kang in a leisurely manner, and he was gracefully using his breakfast.
This breakfast seemed to be very long, and Ji Juan only felt that the small porcelain bottle in her palm was like a soldering iron, and she could barely hold it when it was hot.
When I got back to the stove, it was already midday, and it was less than an hour before lunch!
This morning has survived in anxiety, and it has not stopped, and it is time to be busy with lunch again.
Fortunately, there were several people to help make lunch, so it wasn't too tiring.
When boiling a dish of eight-treasure chicken soup, Dunzi found that the cutting board of the stewed chicken was missing a corner, and he was so frightened that he was covered in a cold sweat, so he asked everyone to rummage in the pot together, and still found it on a piece of meat with skin.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, there was such a mistake, although there were no direct consequences, but Ji Juan couldn't help but tell everyone to be careful.
She has a soft temperament, and everyone doesn't take it seriously, still smiling, when there was a commotion outside the house.
"Where's Jiu'er?"
Ji Juan raised her eyes and saw Cai Hui leading a group of maids and women into the house menacingly.
"What do you do? Where is my girl recruiting you! Seeing this, Changqing opened his arms in front of Ji Juan with a vigilant face.
She is a girl who was selected into Yunyang Bofu in the grange, and since she was a child, she has seen a lot of women scolding and scolding, and when she saw Cai Hui's appearance, she knew that there was nothing good.
"Your girl? When I entered the house, I was a subordinate of the house, and I don't know where I came from to settle down, what kind of daughter is here, I can't do it well, so don't blame me for not saving face! ”
This word was scolded every word, that is, Ji Juan wanted to settle the matter and seek perfection, and there was no room for it.
As soon as Cai Hui's words fell, a woman in a short jacket behind her stepped forward and said with spittle: "Master ate the breakfast you made, and suddenly fell ill, Lang Zhong is still in the house at this time, I advise you to be more disciplined at this time, don't think about any crooked brains!" ”
How can it be! Ji Juan raised her hand to wipe the saliva off her face, and took a step back, from the ingredients to the ingredients and sent to the upper courtyard, and then to the sixteenth master to eat in the stomach, she personally watched it, it couldn't be a problem with breakfast.
With a firm heart, he also gave birth to courage, Ji Wan's back was straight, and he raised his voice slightly and asked the mother-in-law: "What did the sixteenth master say?" ”
Without waiting for the mother-in-law to speak, Cai Hui said: "What else do you need the sixteenth master to say, from yesterday to today, the master has only eaten the food you made, what are you still quibbling about!" ”
With a wave of his hand, he had the momentum of commanding a thousand troops, and said: "Tie up Jiu'er for me and send it to the upper courtyard, and wait for the master to fall!" ”
Yin Chi lay at the head of the bed and coughed loudly, and Lang Zhong was full of doubts: "Spring has not arrived, the catkins have not floated, where did the catkins come from in the house, the cough of the sixteenth master will never touch this thing." ”
Du Sheng glared angrily: "What kind of thing that doesn't have long eyes, it actually wants to assassinate the master!" ”
Lang Zhong shook his head: "It's not enough to say that it is a secret harm, this thing may have been accidentally brought on when drying bedding or winter clothes, which caused the sixteenth master to cough again." ”
The west wing of the upper courtyard is the resting place of the maids beside the sixteenth master, Ji Juan was tied hands and feet, and Changqing on the side was like a crab with his teeth and claws trying to break free, but it was all in vain.
"Even if you want to catch it, you also want the sixteenth master to speak, what kind of pickled goods are you, holding chicken feathers as an arrow, I'm sorry!"
Changqing was so angry that she couldn't take care of the etiquette that Ji Juan taught her on weekdays, and scolded her.
Cai Hui listened, not only did she not get angry, but covered her mouth and chuckled: "What am I?" Then I also told you, but my wife assigned it to the master, that is, to do things for the lady, I want your cheap life today, and the master will not do anything to me. ”
Ji Juan leaned at the foot of the bed, closed his eyes and recuperated, as if he was isolated from the world, and his beautiful side face was painful.
She couldn't help but raise her foot and press on Ji Xuan's hand tied behind her, and raised her voice: "What are you pretending to be high?" ”
She just wanted to give her some color casually, but who knew that Ji Wan's painful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and the charm of the moment was all kind, which made Cai Hui go crazy with hatred.
Thinking that her master cherished her hands, the strength under her feet became heavier, and finally she was crushed twice.
Changqing's eyes turned red, he arched over, and bit Cai Hui's calf fiercely.
Cai Hui was in pain, but she didn't let go of her feet, spit on Changqing's head, and reached out to pull her hair.
Ji Wan was almost in tears, the laughter and screams in the house were intertwined, and a voice that did not belong to them suddenly sounded outside the house: "Caihui, Lord let you go over." ”
Changqing's eyes lit up, and she shouted for help before her mother-in-law covered her mouth.
Du Sheng was shocked.
@@@
In the main room, the coughing sound still sounded from time to time, Cai Hui, Changqing and the mother-in-law who made trouble just now knelt on the ground together, Ji Xuan's hand was bandaged, and he also stepped forward to kneel.
"Cai Hui, who told you to get someone?"
The one who spoke was a maid in a green jacket with thoughtful eyebrows and a double-ring bun, and judging by the way she spoke, she should be a person who could take ideas.
Cai Hui rubbed the corners of her eyes aggrievedly: "Cai Ko, our master is sick, only she is suspicious, I am afraid that she will run away, so I will cut it first and then play......"
"I mean, I have to thank you?" Cai Ko sneered contemptuously, "Madam asked you to take care of the Sixteenth Master, but she didn't let you use your power to oppress people and do whatever you want!" ”
The room suddenly fell silent, and it took a while before Yin Chi's voice sounded: "Jiu'er, what do you say to deal with?" ”
Ji Xuan, who had been silent, raised his head when he heard the voice, his eyes were full of fear, "Listen to the meaning of the sixteenth master." ”
