Xiangru embroidered until dinner time, packed up her things, and Xiangru rushed to the kitchen to send dinner to Aunt Rong.

As soon as she entered the door, Xiangru sensitively found that the atmosphere in the room was not good, Aunt Rong was irritable in the room like a donkey grinding, and when she saw Xiangru come in, Aunt Rong's expression suddenly became hideous.

"Useless waste." Aunt Rong grabbed the water cup on the table and threw it at Xiangru.

Xiangru shrunk to dodge the attack of the cup, and with a clang, the cup smashed against the wall behind her and fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Xiangru shrunk her shoulders and stepped forward tremblingly, placing the food box on the table.

"Aunt calms her anger, Xiangru is stupid and makes her aunt angry, please punish your aunt." No matter what makes Aunt Rong unhappy, anyway, I admit my mistake and say it, because even if it is not my fault, my aunt said yes, then it must be.

The obedient rules of survival of the dog's legs are always valid no matter when and where.

Aunt Rong was angry when she saw Xiangru's docile appearance with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, but it was not easy to have a seizure, so she held it for a long time, and finally sat down and called Xiangru a cloth meal.

Xiangru, who thought that Aunt Rong was going to exercise before the meal and tightened her skin and flesh, saw that the situation was improving, so she quickly opened the food box and set the dinner table, and carefully served Aunt Rong to eat, not daring to be careless.

However, Aunt Rong's mood was not good, which affected her appetite, and the dishes on the table were probably full after a few chopsticks moved, and asked Xiangru to clean it up.

Before leaving, Xiangru boldly asked Aunt Rong if she wanted supper tonight, and Aunt Rong thought about it and asked for it.

Because Aunt Rong has no appetite to eat, Xiangru went back to the kitchen relatively early today, and there are still people coming and going in the kitchen, and the girls who are working under other aunts in charge are going in and out of the kitchen, and from their mouths, Xiangru heard a news - Aunt Xiao's illness has spread throughout the women's medical hall, and I heard that Du Gongcheng is thinking about how to deal with it.

And this Du Gongcheng is the chief eunuch of the Tai Hospital, and he is also the top boss of Aunt Xiao, because the female medical hall is an affiliated institution of the Tai Hospital.

Whether Aunt Xiao leaves the palace early or on schedule is all in the thoughts of the chief eunuch.

Xiangru leaned against the wall outside the door with her own dinner and ate intently, and other people's gossip talked about her going in and out of her left ear.

In all fairness, she sincerely hopes that Aunt Rong can become a stand-in for Aunt Xiao, even if there is no hope of changing jobs in the future, she will admit it, as long as she doesn't watch Aunt Rong wave around with a rattan whip all day long.

But this thing is so easy, Aunt Rong has no advantage at all, if she succeeds in the upper position, which of the other aunts is willing to be convinced? can't make a stumbling block out of her appearance openly and secretly to embarrass her.

Of course, those opportunities and events that may only happen after she takes the throne are not the focus of her consideration now, and they are not worth her worrying about, so it is more realistic to think about what porridge to cook for Aunt Rong tonight.

Xiangru finished dinner, put the kitchen utensils and tableware together, and took them to the yard well to clean, from time to time there were used tableware sent by girls of all sizes, and slowly a bunch of items to be washed were piled up by the well.

Xiangru, Yinhua and Lilac washed for a while, and the people in the kitchen gradually decreased, and when the people in the kitchen were gone, no one came in, Xiangru got up and dried her hands and returned to the kitchen to start preparing supper.

Take wolfberry and japonica rice into the casserole to boil porridge, wolfberry nourishes the kidney and liver, Aunt Rong's face is not good, indicating that the liver and blood are insufficient, the so-called liver and kidney homology, sperm and blood are mutual, and the liver should be tonified at the same time, and the wolfberry porridge is the right symptom for her. For Aunt Rong, it is best for her to be able to take medicine now, and it is best for her to take medicine and diet at the same time.

After the casserole was cooked, Xiangru asked Lilac Honeysuckle to help take care of it, just like yesterday, she quickly ran back to the house to get needlework to the kitchen to do, until the wolfberry porridge was boiled before putting down the work in her hand and getting up to serve the porridge.

As usual, Aunt Rong's share of sitting in hot water was kept warm first, and the rest was divided among the three of them, and then Xiangru and Lilac went to serve Aunt Rong to sleep at night, and Yinhua washed off the tableware of the three of them and left an oil lamp, and then took Xiangru's sewing basket back to the residence first.

Aunt Rong didn't express an opinion on today's wolfberry porridge, but she still didn't eat much, and she didn't want to leave more than half of it, so she let the two girls wait for her to wash and rest.

After a busy time, Aunt Rong finally went into the quilt and fell asleep with a frown.

Xiangru doesn't care how heavy Aunt Rong's heart is at the moment, she only knows that if she can't finish embroidering her clothes tomorrow, what awaits her the day after tomorrow may be the same violent beating as Chef Li today.

Therefore, as soon as she saw that Aunt Rong was sleeping peacefully, she immediately blew out the candle and walked away quickly with a lilac lantern.

After dealing with the last bit of affairs in the kitchen, the two returned to the residence to wash and sleep, slept until they woke up in the middle of the night, got up early, took the sewing basket and candlestick to the stove outside to catch up with the work, I don't know when they heard the sound of more drums, only to know that it was only the middle of the day, that is, just five watches, and there was still a whole hour before the usual time to get up.

Xiangru shook off her clothes and looked at the results carefully, she was very satisfied, as long as there was no accident, she would definitely be able to complete it today.

Seeing that there were not many candles left, Xiangru got up and put the sewing basket on the small bench, stretched her waist to be active, picked up the candlestick and went back to the house to get a new candle, sat down and continued to work selflessly.

Halfway through, she put on a new candle and did it until midnight, when Xiangru finally called it a day, turned to three stoves and began to boil hot water for washing her face. She only remembered now that when she had to work overtime, Xiangru used to prefer to get up early rather than go to bed later, so that she usually boiled the hot water in the morning when it was cold, and the hot water in the evening was boiled by others, and she could use it when she went back.

Yinhua shook off the dress in Xiangru's hand, and saw that the two sleeves had been completed for one and a half, and half a sleeve was still missing.

Xiangru only smiled silently, put things in the cabinet, changed clothes, washed her face and makeup, and rushed to the kitchen to fetch hot water to wait for Aunt Rong to get up.

Xiangru came to Aunt Rong's house, put the basin in front of Aunt Rong's bed, tied up the bed tent and looked, today's Aunt Rong's expression is completely different from yesterday, yesterday was a restless and troubled look, but at this moment, after sleeping and waking up, her mental state has completely changed, as if she has figured out something, and there is a faint fighting spirit that seems to be fighting.

It seems that Aunt Rong has decided to fight a tough battle with those aunts in charge for the position of the chief aunt.

Xiangru thought so.

Quietly helped Aunt Rong up, Xiangru served Aunt Rong according to the process, and after she finished freshening up, she went back to the kitchen to get breakfast.

Chef Li is still lying on the bed and can't get off the ground, today's breakfast porridge is made by other chefs, cooked mung bean porridge and sweet potato porridge, fried fritters and sesame fruit, and two kinds of stuffed buns.

After breakfast was ready, everyone was really frightened to see Xiangru disappear around the corner of the wall with the food box, and sincerely prayed to all the passing gods in the sky, even if Aunt Rong didn't like to eat, she wouldn't use a whip to educate like yesterday.

When she saw the two porridges on the table, Aunt Rong didn't react, and ate half of the face, and one of those dim sums. Although the whole process was not said to be delicious or unpalatable, at least it was not as violent as yesterday morning, and the breakfast ended peacefully.

Xiangru cleaned up the table and walked away, and wiped the fine sweat on her forehead after walking out of the yard, she was so nervous that she was about to have low blood sugar.

The people in the kitchen saw Xiangru coming back with a food box in a good manner, knowing that the most tense moment had passed, and couldn't help cheering, patting their chests and chanting Amitabha.

Yinhua took the food box in Xiangru's hand and took it out to deal with it, Lilac gave Xiangru her breakfast and replaced the kettle in her hand, and the others went on their own errands after thanking the gods for their blessings.

When Xiangru and the three of them were washing dishes by the well, Aunt Rong came to inspect the site, and everyone in the kitchen immediately waited for the review as if they were facing a great enemy.

Aunt Rong went out of the kitchen and went straight to Aunt Xiao's yard, the yards of the aunts in charge were next to each other, and it was very convenient to visit the door, but in addition to looking for Aunt Xiao, the rest of the aunts in charge really rarely interacted with each other.

Lifting the cotton curtain hanging on the door, Aunt Rong walked into the hall, and Yu Gui, who was pouring tea outside, saw Aunt Rong coming in and immediately went into the inner room to report, and after a while, she came out to lure Aunt Rong in.

Aunt Rong stepped into Aunt Xiao's bedroom, and saw Aunt Fang's back at the door, she was sitting on the edge of the bed and personally serving breakfast to Aunt Xiao, carefully feeding mung bean porridge spoonful by spoonful.

Serving my mother and my son may not be so careful and considerate.

Aunt Rong maliciously scolded for a moment, and then immediately walked to the side of the bed with a smile on her face, and respectfully greeted Aunt Xiao who was sitting on the bed.

Aunt Xiao is forty and eight this year, her face that was as full as a peach when she was young is now deflated like a dried peach, and her hair from sideburns to her forehead is white, although she is only a few years older than Aunt Rong and Aunt Fang, she looks like an old woman in her sixties.

Aunt Xiao accepted Aunt Rong's salute with a smile in her eyes, patted the edge of the bed, and Yugui hurriedly put a stool at the head of the bed and asked Aunt Rong to sit.

"Aunt Xiao, how are you feeling today?" As soon as Aunt Rong sat down, she couldn't wait to express her concern.

Aunt Xiao couldn't reply with a mouthful of porridge in her mouth, so she just nodded, and Aunt Rong turned her head slightly to say hello to Aunt Fang who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Aunt Fang is a few months older than Aunt Rong, and she will go to forty-three after the New Year, I don't know if she has a natural advantage in the pharmacy, she is much younger than Aunt Fang, her hair is black and bright, her complexion is ruddy, and her eyes are shrewd.

Aunt Fang returned the salute to Aunt Rong, scooped a spoonful of porridge and fed it to Aunt Xiao, and replied on Aunt Xiao's behalf in a gentle tone: "Aunt Xiao is much better, I didn't have the strength to sit up yesterday, I finally have a little appetite to drink some porridge at this time, and I have to take medicine after eating porridge for a while." Aunt Xiao, take another bite? Hey, slow down. Aunt Fang fed another spoonful of mung bean porridge.

"It's good if you want to eat, there must be no big problem, I asked the kitchen to open a small stove for Aunt Xiao these days, and cook some of Aunt Xiao's favorite dishes to replenish your body, you have worked too hard for so many years, and you haven't had a good rest." Aunt Rong ignored the slight smugness in Aunt Fang's words, and only focused on Aunt Xiao.

"Yes, that's really good, Aunt Xiao is blessed, it's been a long time since I've eaten the dishes cooked by Aunt Rong, and I still remember that Aunt Rong can be a big aunt because of her good cooking skills." Aunt Fang really didn't know whether it was praise or disparagement, because everyone knew that Aunt Rong hadn't touched the frying spoon for a long time.

Aunt Rong was choked by Aunt Fang's top and felt a burst of annoyance, but her face was still smiling like a spring breeze, and her eyes didn't even change, as if she didn't care, she continued to laugh with Aunt Xiao.

Aunt Fang has been serving by Aunt Xiao's side, after feeding the porridge and medicine, Aunt Rong tried to help several times but failed, in the corner where Aunt Xiao was out of sight, Aunt Fang did not hide her refusal attitude towards the other party, and stuffed the food box and tableware that Aunt Xiao had just used into Aunt Rong's hand, and politely asked Aunt Rong to take it back to clean it with a smile.

didn't take advantage of it in the morning, and Aunt Rong finally came back angry.

The three of Xiangru were washing vegetables by the well, and suddenly there was a "clang" around them, and a food box was thrown on the ground nearby.

The three of them looked at each other, and could roughly guess where Aunt Rong came back, so they didn't dare to say more, and silently packed up the food box. After Aunt Rong's fall just now, the porcelain cup containing the porridge in the food box was overturned, and the uneaten porridge was splashed everywhere.

Xiangru saw that there was still a lot of sweet potato porridge left, but she ate a lot of mung bean porridge, and wondered for a while, isn't Aunt Xiao sick and weak, why don't you eat sweet potato porridge that strengthens the spleen and stomach, mung beans are cold, and patients should be cautious about eating them. It is the chef's job to cook porridge, but the patient should not eat it without looking at it.

Xiangru was entangled for a while and quickly relieved, maybe Aunt Xiao was not seriously ill and could stand the cold of mung beans.

Thinking of this, Xiangru didn't think much about it, Aunt Xiao's health or not had nothing to do with her, and she bowed her head to do things.

After washing all the dishes and sending them to the kitchen, Xiangru prepared to go back to the house to rest for a while. After walking down the corridor for a while, seeing Aunt Xiao's cinnamon running towards her, Xiangru stopped and turned sideways to let Yugui pass, without thinking much about why she was in such a hurry, and went back to the house to embroider directly.

Yu Gui hurriedly rushed into the kitchen, begged for a few slices of ginger and turned to leave, and the furious appearance caused the people in the kitchen to speculate for a while, I don't know what happened to Aunt Xiao.

Yugui ran all the way back to the courtyard, and before she could catch her breath, she shouted first: "Jiang is here, Jiang is here." ”

Out of the room came out of a young woman of the age of the word, tall figure, narrow shoulders and thin waist, a small face with a slap and a beautiful face, but the clothes were different from the palace maids, she was not purple and brown but very light rain azure color, and the embroidery of the clothes on her body was also a light and elegant color and pattern, which looked clean and clean.

"Lady Xie, Jiang is here."

"Go cook longan ginger soup immediately, and after cooking, give it to Aunt Xiao. Aunt Xiao has always had a weak spleen and stomach, but she is so strong that she doesn't know it with others. Alas, it was also my luck, when I saw mung bean porridge in the morning, I shouldn't take it for granted that Aunt Xiao knew taboos, and I should have sent someone to remind her that she would have diarrhea when she ate the bowl of mung bean porridge. The doctor's voice was soft and glutinous, and it was very nice.

"Doctor Xie doesn't have to blame herself, it's all the maid who didn't take good care of Aunt Xiao and has nothing to do with the doctor." Cinnamon hurriedly explained.

"How do you know that there are so many people, and when you see the food being delivered, you will give it to Aunt Xiao to eat. You go and tell the kitchen to let them work harder, it's best to make Aunt Xiao's food alone recently, and don't want cold food. ”

"Yes, the servant knows."

"I'll go back first, and if Aunt Xiao feels uncomfortable, come and call me."

"Yes, Doctor Xie walks slowly."

Sent away Doctor Xie, the little palace maid went to cook soup by the courtyard wall, and Aunt Fang kept apologizing to Aunt Xiao in the house, all because she took mung bean porridge to Aunt Xiao in the morning to eat, and she knew that she would be fine if she ate sweet potato porridge.

How can there be so many "early knows" in the world, Aunt Xiao endured the discomfort in her stomach and persuaded Aunt Fang not to take this matter to heart, and not to do it again next time.

"I know it's wrong, I'm going to inform the kitchen and ask them to be careful, don't bring some food that Aunt Xiao can't eat." After saying that, Aunt Fang got up and retired.
