Chapter 247: Something to Keep the Cold
At the beginning of summer, the bamboo curtain is replaced in the Song Zhi courtyard, and when it is pulled up during the day, there will be a cool wind blowing into the house.
"How has the princess been sleeping at night lately?" Song Zhi flipped through the account books presented by Zhuangzi and asked Si Cha.
Song Zhi had to ask every other day, Si Cha was used to it, and replied familiarly: "The princess has slept very well recently, the eight-grain porridge served in the small kitchen is very effective, and the princess doesn't like to sweat so much at night, but she still kicks the quilt, but this year's gauze curtain is dense, although it is breathable but not windy, you don't have to worry about the princess catching a cold at night." ”
Song Zhi saw that she answered firmly, and she had a little approval in her heart, she pointed to a plate of pastries in her hand, and said: "The maid next to the princess is the oldest of you, and she has worked hard these days, you can take this plate of mung bean cake and eat it." ”
"The girls below are quite obedient, and the slaves don't bother much." Si Cha was blessed and said humbly.
"Hmm." Song Zhi was very satisfied with the propriety of Si Cha, and let her retreat after appreciating the pastries.
Meteor walked in from outside the house and passed by Si Cha, who saluted her very respectfully, and Meteor returned her with a half salute.
"Madam, Fen Rui said that she wants to take advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival to visit her relatives, and I am here to ask for your permission." Meteor said to Song Zhi.
Song Zhi was puzzled: "Does she still have relatives?" ”
"I heard that there is also a half-brother who opened a small tea house in Shuojing, and the former daycare person brought her a message, saying that she gave birth to a son. Fen Rui wanted to take a look. "Meteor Road.
"This is also human nature, but she is the prince's concubine on the surface, and it is not good to be alone outside." Song Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "In this way, you let the outer courtyard prepare the carriage and horses, and send a few people to follow her to protect her." ”
Although Meteor didn't like Fenrui, she had been in peace for a long time, and she had a little eyesight, so she did as Song Zhi instructed.
Song Zhi looked at the account book, there was a cool breeze blowing the bamboo curtain, the bamboo curtain hit the wooden window and made a crisp sound, and then there was a soft and sticky grunt, Song Zhi couldn't help laughing, pushed open the door of the inner room that was already hidden, and saw that Chu Ji had just woken up, waving his little arms at her happily.
"Awake?" Song Zhi leaned over and hugged the baby, and the baby's body smelled good.
Chu Xiao chirped his small mouth, pulled out a saliva film, and kept screaming in his mouth, "Shout, shout." ”
Song Zhi patiently corrected Chu Ji's pronunciation and said, "Mother, call Mother." ”
Chu Ji looked at Song Zhi with a pair of big eyes, and bit his fingers wet. The first child has already started to grow teeth, and the tooth flesh is swollen and uncomfortable, so he always likes to bite something. Song Zhi pulled out Chu Ji's fingers, the little guy was not happy, and cried with a 'wow', Song Zhi couldn't resist it, and hurriedly asked someone to bring a milk stick.
This milk stick is Song Zhi's own food to eat, prepared every day in the small kitchen, is carefully boiled with cow's milk, and finally added flour and powdered sugar to knead into a finger shape for the first time to bite.
This milk stick is extremely tough, and it will only break after being soaked with saliva from the first time, but it has already been replaced by then, so it won't be eaten much. At that time, the barbarian saw the relishing of the first bite, so he said that he would eat it too.
Song Zhi smiled at her and was not ashamed, but still asked someone to bring a small plate of honey and sugar oil for the barbarian to wrap and eat.
Although Ru'er didn't speak, he also got a copy, he was precocious, and it seemed a little embarrassing to eat his brother's food, but he couldn't stand Song Zhi looking at him with a smile, so he ate it too.
One day, the maidservants prepared milk sticks, honey, and sugar oil, but the two children suddenly got up to play and went on the swing. Shen Baiyan came back and saw the things on the table, thinking that it was a snack for himself, so he took one and ate it by himself.
Meteor came in and saw it, and went out laughing. Coming in month by month to pick up the coat that the brute had dropped, I was also choking enough, and I hesitated for a long time, but I still didn't say anything.
In the end, he came back tired of playing, and saw that most of the milk stick was eaten by Shen Baiyan, and he didn't let it go, Shen Baiyan realized that he had eaten the first thing to grind his teeth, which was really embarrassing.
After Song Zhi learned about this, he teased Shen Baiyan on the couch at night and asked him if he still wanted to eat milk sticks, but he was taught a 'lesson' by Shen Baiyan, which was really 'losing his wife and breaking his soldiers'.
Song Zhi also asked Yang Er to take some month by month, and I heard that this milk stick saved Su Zheng a lot of trouble in coaxing the child.
When it was time to breastfeed, I asked the nurse to carry her.
Meteor came to look for Song Zhi again, saying that someone from the palace had given something down and asked Song Zhi to take a look.
Song Zhi had a vague guess in his heart, and when he went to the hall of the outer courtyard, he saw that the mahogany box was full of things to keep out the cold, and it seemed that the one in the palace was really impatient.
The father-in-law Qiu who sent the things had a little old grudge with Song Zhi again, and his speech was yin and yang and unpleasant, and Meteor squeezed out a smirk and asked the little maid to bring him a cup of melon slice tea, the tea was a good tea, but he asked the little maid to add some diuretic things to it.
"The Queen Mother is really meticulous and thoughtful to the princess, knowing that you have been invited by the lord of the northern country, I specially asked our family to send you these cold things, you look at this fox fur, oily and slippery, how treasured."
Gonggong Qiu praised these things all over again, and then he took a sip of tea, and when he tasted this tea, he was a little more proud. No matter how much this princess doesn't like herself, for the sake of the queen mother's face, she has to treat herself with good food and drink.
Song Zhi thanked him and asked someone to send this father-in-law Qiu out, as soon as Gonggong Qiu walked out of the palace, he suddenly wanted to relieve himself, but when he turned around, he saw that the gate of the palace was closing quickly, as if he was driving people.
Father-in-law Qiu felt ashamed and was unwilling to come to the door to ask for a toilet, and his body was crippled, so it was inconvenient to find a haystack to solve it like an ordinary man, so he had to find a stinky dead end.
As soon as he got on the sedan chair, before he could enjoy a moment of comfort, this urine came again, and he repeatedly tossed Father-in-law Qiu many times, making him embarrassed.
Song Zhi knew that Father-in-law Qiu's return journey was so embarrassing, and he would feel better.
Shen Baiyan thought that it was one thing to take her to see the scenery of the northern country, and it was another thing to be aggressive in this palace. Seeing that most of these cold things are used by female dependents, the Queen Mother really hopes that Song Zhi can go with her.
"Ma'am." Meteor sensed that Song Zhi was in a bad mood, and asked softly, "What should we do with these things?" ”
"You go and take a look at it first, if it's really good, take it to Dr. Wu to see, if there is no problem, then show it to me." Although I am not happy in my heart, after all, I have some things, pick and choose, and if there are some that can be used, I don't need to be angry.
In the afternoon of the second day, Meteor brought a few little maids with some objects, and as soon as he entered the door, Meteor said: "Look at the large boxes full of them, in fact, there are no good things, and some of them are not as good as those in our palace." I don't think it takes up space in the storeroom. ”
"Listen, you're too good at that." Zhuyue smiled, and helped Song Zhi to sit down on the soft collapse.
"According to the slave maid, the most ingenious thing here is this warm plate." Meteor said, bringing over a celadon plate with a lid on it.
"What's so strange about that? Winter days in Furi are also commonly used. "Month by month, puzzled question.
Meteor said: "I thought so at first, but most of the warm plates in the house are heavy and heavy, but the middle of this warm plate is empty, madam, you see, there are two holes in the top of this plate, and hot water is directly injected into the interlayer of the plate, which can be warmer than the warm plates we use." ”
"It's a rare process." Song Zhi nodded and said.
Meteor took two more pairs of fur shoes, a large one, and a rabbit down soft hat with edelweiss. Other than that, it's nothing unusual.
"This piece is in good condition, but the color is old-fashioned, if the pattern of this trim changes, it is for my grandmother to wear it." Song Zhi glanced at the big coat, and inevitably brought a little disgust.
Moon by Moon covered her lips and smiled, and Meteor said, "Madame really wants to go to the Northland?" ”
Song Zhi didn't answer immediately, and pondered for a while before saying, "I'm probably going." ”
"Can the lady take me?" Meteor said a little anxiously, for fear that Song Zhi would leave her behind.
Seeing Meteor's wrinkled face, Song Zhi couldn't help but laugh and said, "I will definitely bring yours." ”
Knowing Song Zhi's calculations in his heart, he stood aside and didn't speak.
Song Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I haven't agreed on this matter with the prince, after all, there are children at home, and if I go for such a long time, I will remember it very much." ”
As soon as Song Zhi talked about the child, he thought that he didn't seem to have seen the barbarian all morning, so he said, "Where did the barbarian go?" ”
Zhuyue smiled and said, "Madame don't remember?" At this hour, the princess must be with the water chestnut. ”
Meteor suddenly remembered something and said, "Fang Niang told me that the princess's clothes have been finished, and she said that she would bring them to Madame to take a look, can you take a look?" ”
Song Zhi naturally agreed, and Meteor came back with a few ready-made shirts after a while, Song Zhi looked at them one by one and felt that there was no problem, so he asked Meteor to take them to Si Hua and keep them for Man'er.
Yesterday I saw her sitting down on the porch and sifting sand, saying that it was a water chestnut that ordered her to make a sandbag for the barbarian and trapped it on her legs, and I don't know where this girl found the sea sand, which was delicate and soft like flour, and sifted through it layer by layer with a small sieve. I asked her why she did this, and she said that she was afraid that there would be small pebbles in it, and the princess would be uncomfortable. "Meteor Road.
"It's not wrong, it's a meticulous and solid eye." Song Zhi said, "It's just that I'm a little younger, and in two years, I'll be able to sit on an equal footing with Si Cha." In the future, when the barbarian is older, I won't help her choose her maid, and ask her to take care of it herself. ”
Song Zhi is not in a hurry, she knows that the lovely people around her are cultivated little by little by time, which is why women from high-ranking families always have to bring people from their mother's family when they get married, so that it is easy to arouse, and do you still hear less about slaves and bullying masters?
