Chapter 20: Medicinal Diets and Medicated Baths
In every courtyard of the Yuan Mansion, especially the young lady or the courtyard of the main house, there will be a small kitchen, and there will also be a special cook.
Yuan Tingru is the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, and it is inevitable to have these things, and the chef has been by her side since she can remember. The things that Yuan Tingru has eaten since she was a child are also made by this chef.
Gu Jiu'er made the medicinal food here, and at this moment, what she was boiling in the kitchen was the medicinal bath that she was going to give Yuan Tingru a bath for a while.
With the consent of the master husband, he took some of the supplements that Yuan Tingru used to replenish his body in the past, Gu Jiu'er counted it, and found that there were really a lot of medicinal materials that could replenish qi and blood, if it was really thrown away, it would be a pity.
But the medicinal properties were too strong, so Gu Jiu'er decided to boil these together, boil them into a large pot of soup, and then dilute them with hot water and use them as a medicinal bath for Yuan Tingru to soak.
The kitchen was very hot and stuffy, and after a few dusty Gu Jiu'er's face was covered with sweat, plus he only ate two steamed buns in the morning, and now his face was even more pale, and the big beads of sweat on his face fell sparsely, and most of the clothes on his body were soaked.
The same is true of Yinling, even when she makes a fire there, the beads of sweat on her face are even bigger, but the physical strength of people who practice martial arts is naturally good, and the situation is much better than Gu Jiu'er.
When the cook came in and told Gu Jiu'er that Yuan Tingru was coming, Gu Jiu'er happened to be over, wiped the sweat from his face, brushed his sweat-soaked hair aside, walked to the door with some vain steps, and pushed the door open.
He bowed slightly to Yuan Tingru, spit out a mouthful of turbidity, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said, "Miss woke up, how do you feel?" ”
"Well, my mind is not as heavy as before, it's just ......" Yuan Tingru looked at her slightly pale face, as well as some wet hair, her brows furrowed slightly, thinking of the medicinal food she had just taken, she couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart, and she felt guilty, and said, "Miss Gu, you ...... In fact, you can leave these things to the next person to do, you ......"
Gu Jiu'er shook her head and said, "I don't like to fake hands with people, not to mention, they don't know this." But can I give these things to your maid next? ”
"Nature." Yuan Tingru replied very happily, after all, she looked at Gu Jiu'er's face very badly, and she was afraid that she was very tired.
"It's very simple, just mix the decoction in the pot with cold water, half of each, put it in a wooden barrel, and the young lady will soak it for two hours." Gu Jiu'er looked at the silver bead standing beside Yuan Tingru and instructed.
"My subordinates have made a note of it." Yinzhu bowed his head and said, then walked into the kitchen, and Yinling and the two of them called some maids to carry the medicine soup bucket by bucket.
"Then ......" Gu Jiu'er's face was slightly red, she was a little embarrassed, raised her hand and touched her nose, and said, "Can you get some food in the kitchen, and then, get some water to bathe?" ”
"It turns out that the girl said this, of course these are okay, and Miss Ben will ask someone to help you clean the room in a while." Yuan Tingru said with a smile.
"Well, thank you, Miss." Gu Jiu'er was grateful in her heart, and bowed to Yuan Tingru again.
But Yuan Tingru hurriedly held her arm and said, "In the future, the girl will call me Tingru, I will call the girl ......."
"Xiao Jiu." Gu Jiu'er said with a smile.
"Okay, Xiao Jiu."
The two of them talked briefly for a while, and soon, the medicinal bath was ready, Yuan Tingru went back to the room, and after she left, Gu Jiu'er went back to the kitchen to get herself some food, filling her stomach, and when she came out, Yinling came over again and told her that the room and hot water were ready.
Gu Jiu'er was taken aback in her heart, but she was quickly relieved, it must have been the order of Miss Yuan, right? After saying thank you, she followed Yinzhu to the room that Yuan Tingru gave her.
The room, naturally, is still in her yard, and it is not very far away. The decoration of the room is antique, similar to the layout of Yuan Tingru's room, the entrance is a round table, and on the left side is a bed, which is blocked by a screen. On the side of the bed, there is the place where the bath bucket is placed, and on the right side is the desk, and there is a bookshelf next to the desk, but there are not many books, and there are many porcelain vase ornaments.
A handsome little waiter was guarding the edge of the bathtub, and when he saw Gu Jiu'er coming, he hurriedly greeted him, and said, "Miss Gu, the slave Qingyan is sent by the master husband to serve you." Hot water is ready, and the slave and maid will give you a wide coat. As he spoke, he reached out to untie Gu Jiu'er's collar.
Gu Jiu'er was so shocked that she took a few steps back, looking at the young man whose cotton swab was about the same height as herself, her hand blocking her collar, and her ears were a little hot.
"No...... No need, you can come by yourself here, you can go out first. "Let a guy undress himself? She doesn't have the idea of respecting the world of women, and she doesn't have the feudal idea of letting others serve her!
Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and quickly knelt on the ground, and said in horror: "Girl, don't drive the slave maid, the girl is the great benefactor of the Yuan family, Lord Zhengfu said that the slave maid must serve the girl well, girl, you ......"
Gu Jiu'er took a hard breath, helped him up from the ground, and said, "Little brother, don't be nervous, I'm just not used to it, you can help me guard the door, is this okay?" ”
"But ......"
"When the time comes, I'll tell the master, don't worry." Gu Jiu'er patiently explained.
"Well, if the girl asks for anything, call it a slave." Seeing that she was so determined, Qingyan didn't say much.
Gu Jiu'er nodded, and Qingyan left the room.
Gu Jiu'er breathed a sigh of relief, walked behind the screen, took off the clothes on her body, put the steamed buns that were already a little her clothes, reached out to test the water, and then walked into the bathtub.
Hot water filled her body, relieving her exhaustion, Gu Jiu'er breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned on the edge of the bathtub, closed her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. What's so ...... It's the life of a man.
But......
Gu Jiu'er opened her eyes, reached out and plucked the wooden hairpin on her head, and the green silk fell instantly. She stared blankly at the cute little rabbit above, her eyes sinking.
When Miss Yuan's health has improved greatly, she will ask her to find Luo Fan, no matter what, she will take him away from his hateful woman.
Luo Fan, you wait for me.
