Chapter 21. Throat lozenges

Mother Liu is naturally not as undisciplined as Bai Jiyuan. On impulse, he will interrogate people.

At this time, it is almost noon, and even if it is the early summer sun, it is extremely roasting at noon. Mother Liu looked at the noisy crowd in front of her, I don't know whether she felt the sun dazzling or impatient with everyone's words and deeds, squinted her eyes slightly, and pulled out a handkerchief to block it.

"Mother Liu, is this what you mean, or is it what the sixth young master means, or is it the meaning of the eldest lady at all?" Dieyu, who was pushed back into the crowd, stood up again and spoke. He looks stubborn, as if he is a fighter who is not afraid of power.

"Heh, gag her for me." Mother Liu took off the handkerchief in front of her and looked at Dieyu with an expressionless face.

As soon as Liu's mother finished speaking, the two family members closest to Liu's mother stood up and walked in the direction of Dieyu.

"Why do you ......, what reason do you have to take ......"

"Hmm...... Uh-huh......"

No matter how Dieyu shouted, he was still gagged by a rag, and the family who blocked Dieyu's mouth obediently tied Dieyu with a rope.

The stacked jade that was tied up by the five flowers was pushed back into the crowd again. And the rest of the people saw Dieyu end up like this, not to mention going to loosen the tie for Dieyu, as early as when Liu's mother opened her mouth to block Dieyu's mouth, everyone instantly quieted down, and now they are even more silent.

"You are the minions in this Zhining Courtyard, when will you need a reason from the master to gather you? It's that the Zhining Courtyard is too comfortable, and I forgot my identity. ”

Mother Liu's tone of voice was very unkind, full of sarcasm and disdain, but Mother Liu's words were like a sharp sword piercing into everyone's hearts, from the back to the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet instantly became cold, and even the summer sun could not dispel the cold.

Yes, I'm just a slave, why is I still blinded by lard and questioning my master?

Mother Liu didn't care how everyone's expressions changed.

He took out the roster of Zhining Temple from his bosom and compared everyone in front of him one by one.

After this investigation, it was soon found that Huang Yu and Luo Ying were not in the crowd.

Mother Liu frowned slightly, and regardless of the people in front of her, she left directly and went to return to the eldest lady.

And this time, how dare everyone speak, they all stood in place and waited.

In Bai Xianyu's room, the atmosphere has eased a little.

The first to come over was Dian Cui, who prepared rice porridge, and when Dian Cui entered the door, the eldest lady was not good at crying in front of her maid, so she stopped her tears and began to coax Bai Xianyu to eat rice porridge.

But Bai Xianyu was born with a bit of a heavy taste, and after a few bites of the side dishes with porridge, I didn't see her pulling a mouthful of porridge.

"Yu'er, drink a few mouthfuls of porridge and eat side dishes, don't you think it's salty?"

"Mother, this small dish is not salty, it tastes quite good, and it can be used as a small snack."

The eldest lady was helpless, took the porridge on the plate in front of Bai Xianyu, stirred it, and felt that the temperature was right, so she picked up the spoon and put some porridge on it, and brought it to Bai Xianyu's mouth.

Bai Xianyu frowned, this porridge tasted bland, and she didn't even put a little salt, she really didn't want to eat it.

"Mother, you put it, put it away, I'll eat it myself. I'm six years old and don't have to be fed. ”

Where would the eldest lady believe these nonsense. Just as he wanted to persuade Bai Xianyu again, there was a knock on the door.

Then, Jing Wu's voice came from outside the door.

"Miss Twelve, I'm Jing Wu, but Miss Twelve is awake?"

"Jing Wu, Jing Wu, I'm awake, I'm coming......" Bai Xianyu wanted to jump out of bed as she said that, but where would the eldest lady let Bai Xianyu get out of bed, and the eldest lady grabbed Bai Xianyu. Motioned with his eyes to open the door.

But he didn't want to, and before Diancui reached the door, the door "clanged" and was directly pushed open.

The sound of breaking the door frightened Dian Cui, and even more angered the eldest lady.

"Jingwu, how are you ......?"

However, at this moment, there was a male duck outside the door.

"Jing Wu, why did you run away all of a sudden, so I can't get off the stage...... Ah...... You're so stupid, this door is not locked at first glance, it would be nice to push it open, are you stupid? ”

It turned out that the one who pushed the door directly was Bai Jiyuan, who followed Jing Wu out of the atrium. chased Jing Wu all the way, but it was at the door of Bai Xianyu's room that he caught up with Jing Wu who was talking to Bai Xianyu in the room.

Bai Jiyuan, who pushed the door open, did not enter the room directly, but glanced at Jing Wu with his eyes, looking like he was begging for praise. But I didn't know that in the house, my own mother almost got angry because of her recklessness.

"Mother, Sixth Brother has always been like this, don't be angry." Bai Xianyu's little hand gently patted the eldest lady's back, and she couldn't help but light a bright candle for her reckless brother.

When Bai Jiyuan dragged Jing Wu into the room, he saw his mother's angry face and the appearance of wanting to cough.

"Mother, what's the matter, is it sick? Or was you infected by your sister? ”

Bai Jiyuan's concerned question seemed extremely mentally retarded, and the eldest lady was very well-educated and didn't hear it directly.

Ignoring her stupid son, the eldest lady set her eyes on Jing Wu.

Jing Wu didn't look at it, and got rid of Bai Jiyuan.

Take a few steps forward and salute the eldest lady and Bai Xianyu.

"I've seen the eldest lady, I've seen the twelfth lady."

The eldest lady let out a light "um", and Bai Xianyu smiled very happily.

"Jing Wu, are you coming here today?" The eldest lady actually understands in her heart that Jing Wu's general mentality is actually the same as Bai Jiyuan's, and the love of growing up together since childhood is enough for Jing Wu to come to see Bai Xianyu, but how can Jing Wu be compared with Bai Jiyuan, and the eldest lady has never liked Jing Wu as her own children's friend.

"Mrs. Hui, I'm worried that Miss Twelve vomited and hurt her throat yesterday, so she brought a little throat lozenge made by herself."

Jingxin, as a big housekeeper, has a lot of things to do on weekdays, and he talks a lot, this throat lozenge, Jing Wu still prepared it for Jingxin at the beginning. But then somehow it reached the old lady's hands, and Jingwu's special throat lozenges became hot.

"So, thank you Jingwu, this is made by this year's new loquat?"

"Mother, what I said, last year's early last year was gone, and my grandfather's posture of not leaving his mouth was gone, how could there be anything left."

"Jing Wu, you didn't notify me of this, and you didn't send me some, it's really not interesting." Bai Jiyuan interjected.

"Mrs. Hui, this is exactly what this year's new loquat is made of, there are few loquat this year, and this is still made of loquat specially ordered by the old lady, otherwise I may not be able to find loquat."

Saying that, Jing Wu bowed slightly, and said to Bai Jiyuan beside him: "Sixth young master, the throat lozenges made of loquat given by the old lady, Jing Wu is not good to keep much, only a little is left for my father, and the rest is here." If you want this, I'll ask my dad to give you a little bit. ”

When Bai Jiyuan heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no."

Just kidding, he didn't dare to take candy from Steward Jing's mouth and eat it. Many times, he felt that Jingda's housekeeper was more intimidating than his own father.
