Chapter 167: Wind and Cloud (5)
Cai's lying on the couch all day long, and the maid who was waiting in the house also asked Gu Lihua to shrink by half, and Dr. Qin told Cai's illness that he needed to recuperate, and he couldn't stand the noise, so Gu Lihua picked a few of the remaining maids who were able to use them.
One is the maid Yue'er who is now standing next to Cai's, and the other is the maid Liu'er who is serving in the pantry, plus a mother-in-law and a cook who are serving on the stove, and two janitors, and now there are six people serving in Cai's courtyard.
In the middle of the night, the maid and the maid went to sleep, because today was the moon on duty, she slept in the next room, and she could hear any movement in Cai's house and get up at any time. But tonight she slept too hard, Cai's lay on the couch and shouted for a long time, but no one came, and her heart was furious.
Yue'er saw that the anger on Cai's face was even stronger, and she knelt down busily, and said in a loud voice: "Ask Mrs. for forgiveness, the slave and maid slept so much that I didn't hear your voice, so the slave and maid went to the pantry, boiled the water, and made a pot of tea for the wife!" Yue'er said, wanting to break free from Cai's, but Cai's pulled her tightly, and she couldn't move at all.
Cai Shi looked at the maid Yue'er in front of him, and the anger in his heart didn't come anywhere, and he was about to have a seizure. She grabbed Yue'er tightly with one hand, and the other hand was raised and waved towards Yue'er, and halfway through, Cai stopped what she was doing.
Cai thought about it, she was just a little girl, acting according to other people's orders, and she was not caused by her when she fell into this field now, even if she was angry, it would be useless, so it was better to have more than one thing and let her go.
After Cai let go of the hand that was holding the little maid tightly, the little maid bowed to Cai, lit the candles that had been half extinguished in the house, and then hurriedly walked out and went to the pantry next door to boil water.
Cai Shi looked at the little maid walking under the porch, with a frightened look, picked up the bronze mirror that had been broken in half, and took a picture of her current appearance, with her hair scattered, described as withered, her face was like ashes, and she looked like she was not far from death.
If she really dies, she will also pull Gu Lihua's family off the horse, and the husband and wife should be born and sleep together, and die together.
Cai Shi thought like this, and there was another violent cough, almost making her breathless, and the little maid heard the voice, and immediately ran over, feeding Cai Shi a few sips of warm water, and then barely pressed down.
The little maid Yue'er looked at Cai's cough and red face, the whole person had already gone half of the appearance, she felt that Cai's days were not long, and she already had an idea in her heart, she was pointed out by Feng Lao'an to serve Cai's, Cai's appearance now, she had to take this matter to Feng Lao'an.
Since the beginning of autumn, heavy rains have been one after another, and after each heavy rain, the weather will be much cooler. It's just that the autumn clothes in the house are still being made, and now the only ones who can wear the autumn clothes are the two elders Feng Lao'an and the Lin family, and the other juniors are still wearing fashionable summer clothes.
Yesterday night it rained all night, thunder and lightning at night, accompanied by gusts of wind, Gu Yutang lay on the couch tossing and turning all night, but failed to sleep well, and when it came to the fourth watch, the rain outside gradually decreased, so that she could sleep well for a few hours.
Last night's heavy rain knocked down the dead branches and rotten leaves hanging on the trees, and in Gu Yutang's small courtyard, the dead branches and rotten leaves were scattered all over the ground.
Ah Hua saw that his girl was still asleep, so he didn't want to go in and disturb him, and after instructing the little maid to send breakfast to the inner room, he led Da Han to sweep the dead branches and rotten leaves piled up in the courtyard, and after cleaning the yard, he fed the finches hanging under the porch, and went to Gu Yutang's inner room with the cat in his arms.
Gu Yutang had already woken up, and after freshening up, he was eating breakfast in the house. Due to the rain that fell in Punpu for more than half a month, floods occurred on the mountain, which washed away several roads outside the city, and the farmers in the Zhuangzi could not enter, and the fruits and vegetables in the city were reduced by more than half.
The vegetables and fruits that Gu Fu uses now were bought and stored in the cellar half a month ago, no one went into the city to catch the market, and the vegetable sellers in the city raised the price of vegetables all of a sudden, and the rich people could barely eat some fruits and vegetables, and the poor people could only go to the street to dig wild vegetables.
Feng Lao'an and the Lin family had already discussed, and decided to open a warehouse to release grain, and set up a few porridge sheds outside the house, so that those who were homeless and could not eat could be put into poor homes and eat a few bowls of hot porridge. Not only that, Feng Lao'an people even took their own body and silver out, and asked people to make a batch of winter clothes, after the autumn equinox, it was winter, winter is the season with the most dead, and most of the old people and children who can't survive long can't survive the cold winter.
The gruel that Gu Yutang used this morning was still taken from the big kitchen to the hot porridge in the porridge shed outside, and there were fewer fresh vegetables in the house, most of them were some pasta.
Gu Yutang ate two steamed buns with a bowl of gruel, a pickle, and the rest of the steamed buns, when Ah Hua led Da Han in, Gu Yutang let them share.
After Gu Yutang wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief, he looked at Ah Hua and Da Han who were sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals drinking porridge, and looked at a gift box the size of a hill piled up next to the door of the house, thinking that Jiang Zhiming's stupid boy should have asked someone to send it early in the morning. Pointing to the pile of gifts, he asked Ah Hua, "Ah Hua, was that pile of things sent by the Jiang family's son-in-law early in the morning?" What are they?"
When Ah Hua heard this, he hurriedly swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth, drank the gruel and said: "Girl, before you woke up, the son of the Jiang family ordered the stone to be sent over, I heard that they are all food, what are pine nut candy, nest silk candy, candied fruit, sugar lotus seeds and the like." ”
Ah Hua picked up a small bowl of blue and white porcelain, drank the gruel inside, licked the edge of the bowl, and asked, "Girl, do you want the slave to take it apart?"
As soon as Gu Yutang heard Ah Hua's words, she knew that her mouth was hungry again, if it was true, those boxes were opened, and Ah Hua saw so many delicacies, maybe she hadn't eaten a few bites before they all went into her stomach.
Gu Yutang glanced at Ah Hua's already round belly, if she was allowed to eat like this again, it wouldn't be long before she would be as virtuous as Li Jiaojiao of Li Tie's family on the street.
Li Tiehu's family on the street gave birth to three sons, no daughter, Mrs. Li has been anxious about this matter for many years, and finally has a daughter, good guy, ten pounds in life, heavier than her three brothers, small arms and legs are chubby, very cute.
finally raised to the point of getting married, but no one dared to come to the door to ask for marriage. Li Jiaojiao has to take a breath when she walks a few steps, and every time she goes out, she must take a sedan chair, and the sedan chair must be six, otherwise she can't lift Li Jiaojiao's huge body.
Two days ago, when she went out, she happened to meet Li Jiaojiao going out, patted her on the shoulder, and almost didn't shoot her apart. After three or four days of tossing and turning, the blood stasis gradually subsided.
She usually says that Ah Hua is like a cow, so Li Jiaojiao is definitely a rhinoceros.
Ah Hua looked at Gu Yutang and kept staring at her stomach, and looked a little embarrassed for a while, so she hurriedly put down the steamed bun she was holding in her hand, wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief, and said, "Girl, the slave maid didn't eat enough last night, so you let the slave maid eat more, okay?"
"Not good!" Gu Yutang rejected her bluntly, if she connived at her again and again, maybe she would be the next Li Jiaojiao, no matter how much Shi liked her, looking at her huge body, he was already afraid of her, where would he marry her?
"Ah Hua, if you want to be on par with Sister Jiaojiao, just eat! If that's not enough, there's still one in the kitchen! Gu Yutang said, exchanging a look at Da Han beside Ah Hua.
Da Han understood what Gu Yutang meant, and immediately called the little maid to come in and removed all the unfinished things on the table of the Eight Immortals.
"Sister Ahua, the girl of the Li family can't get married, Li Tiehu asked Mrs. Li to find three or five matchmakers, but none of them dared to deal with this matter. Mrs. Li took Miss Li back to her parents' house, and fell in love with her mother's cousin, who didn't want to see Miss Li when she saw her appearance, so she just wanted to hang herself! Although Da Han exaggerated this matter, it was also true.
A woman like Li Jiaojiao is worthy of three big men, who dares to marry her back?
A woman who can scare a handsome boy into hanging herself is terrifying to think about.
Ah Hua glanced at the big cold beside him, and then at Gu Yutang who was standing in front of him, daring to love the two of them now that one nostril was out of breath, and joined forces to persuade her. If she was to choose her own food, food and beautiful men, she would rather choose food, because men don't have a good thing, let alone a good-looking man.
However, as soon as she remembered the scene where Li Jiaojiao ran towards her girl that day, goosebumps rose, and she was afraid that it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as shaking the ground and shaking the mountain.
Da Han suddenly remembered that early this morning, Li Jiaojiao handed over the post and invited Gu Yutang to go to the Li Mansion to play.
Li Jiaojiao because she ate a lot, she didn't have a few friends from childhood to adulthood, and finally had a few friends, all of whom got married and left, two days ago, when Gu Yutang went to the street, she encountered a small person who was blocking the road and robbing her, Li Jiaojiao just happened to pass by, so she ran away from those small children, and by the way, she also accepted those small children as little brothers.
Li Jiaojiao, in the eyes of Da Han, can't be provoked.
"Girl, Miss Li asked someone to come over early in the morning to invite you, and I said that you were still asleep, so let the girl go back first. It's the first day of the new year, and you have to go to the old lady to say goodbye, maybe you will have to delay some time. ”
As soon as Gu Yutang thought of going to her house for a banquet at Li Jiaojiao's request, she felt a pain all over her body, but Li Jiaojiao had saved her after all, and she was too bad not to go, so she could only go to the banquet hard, but fortunately, Jiang Zhiming had people send such a bunch of gifts early in the morning, saving her from rummaging through the cabinets and picking up a good one to bring over.
"Let's go to the grandmother's courtyard first, say hello to my grandmother, and then let someone prepare a car to go to the Li Mansion." Gu Yutang said, he had already left the yard, and he was extremely reluctant to take a step.
