Among those gifts, Lu Man's favorite is the jasmine fragrance sent back by the second lady. According to the girl, this was done by the second lady when she had nothing to do.

On the small white porcelain vase with a thin neck and a big belly, there are a few faint lotus leaves and a faint lotus flower. When the cap was opened, a faint fragrance of jasmine wafted out, which smelled very good, and instantly drove away a few traces of summer heat.

Lu Man didn't know much about the second lady, but he was full of curiosity and envy for this woman. It is not easy for a woman to live so happily in ancient times, so happy that she almost does not eat the fireworks of the world, and there is still a mountain of the eldest princess and mother-in-law on it.

After the meal, Jiang Zhankui and Jiang Jiu came to return the bowl in person with the flag chief. The little brother and sister seem to like shaved ice very much, and they are all smiling, and even the attitude of the cool Jiang Zhankui is much better. Only Mama Gu, who came with them, didn't have a good face, she shouldn't have a choice, so she came with them.

As soon as Jiang Jiu came, he pulled Lu Man's skirt and said, "Third sister-in-law, I have good news for you, I just received a letter from my third brother, and he will be back next month." ”

This is not good news.

Lu Man still forced a smile and said, "Oh, okay, Xiao Jiu'er can see her brother again." ”

Just as he was talking and laughing, the ninth master Jiang Zhanyan came again. Jiang Zhanyan was just five years old, and she looked very pleasing, with crooked smiling eyes, white teeth and red lips, and two small dimples when she smiled.

He was brought by the nurse Mama Song.

Mama Song blushed and said, "Third grandma, the ninth master ate that bowl of shaved ice, and I liked it very much, so I asked the girl to make it." But the girl made it with ice and fruit, and the ninth master said that it was not as delicious as the third grandmother's cooking. No, it's coming. ”

This little guest came really unexpectedly. Lu Man smiled, "Ouch, there's no ice anymore." Seeing Jiang Zhanyan's mouth upturned, he said, "There is still some yogurt left, like fruit yogurt, but it is not so cool." ”

She asked Xiao Tao to go to the kitchen and make three small bowls of yogurt and diced fruit. A few children sat at the table eating, but they were not enthusiastic.

Lu Man could see that Jiang Zhankui and Jiang Zhanyan were not close. The two men rarely spoke, not even making eye contact. Only Jiang Jiu was very enthusiastic, stepped forward and called Jiang Zhanyan "brother", and generously scooped the yogurt in his small bowl to his younger brother.

It stands to reason that the two boys are only one year apart, and they study together in the morning, so the relationship should be very good.

Maybe it was the third old man and his wife who looked down on their concubines, and it also affected Jiang Jiuye at a young age. may also be because Jiang Zhankui has the same inferiority complex and depression as Jiang Zhanwei, and deliberately keeps a distance from his sister-in-law.

Lu Man's intuition is that the latter is more likely. She really doesn't want this little kid to be like his brother, not to mention the tiredness of life, and the shadow in her heart.

The little cute Xiao Jiu'er may be well protected by her brothers, plus she doesn't have so many eyes, she is kind and simple, and she has few thoughts. No matter how excluded and suppressed she is, she is not inferior like her two brothers, and even has antagonistic feelings, on the contrary, she strongly wants to integrate into the group that excludes her.

It is pitiful that simple children are unaware of the complexities of the adult world and desire to be accepted by them. And Jiang Zhankui, who can understand the hot and cold world at a young age, is also heart-wrenching.

Thinking of this, Lu Man smiled at Jiang Zhanyan again, "The third sister-in-law will also cook other rare food, and when the third sister-in-law is not busy in the future, she will invite the ninth master to eat." ”

She still hopes to win more good friends for Jiang Zhankui and Jiang Mei.

"Okay." Jiu Ye Nuo Nuo replied.

After the children finished eating, they left satisfied. Before leaving, Jiang Jiuye still licked his lips and said, "Third sister-in-law, I'll come to seven tomorrow (eat)." ”

Mama Song sneered, "What the Ninth Master said is not afraid of people laughing at you." ”

Lu Man smiled, "The ninth master likes it, just come." ”

But I thought to myself, I have to send the yogurt fruit over earlier these days. She's so busy right now that she doesn't have that much time to deal with them. Later, after some things were sorted out, I often invited a few children as guests, so that the little brother and sister had many friends.

The next day, as soon as the sky was dawning, Lu Man was still dreaming of Zhou Gong, when he heard a quick knock on the door, followed by Xing'er's voice and Hongyan's noisy voice. Red Aya ran from the back room to find Lu Man, but was blocked at the door by Xing'er who was on duty at night.

Xing'er lowered her voice and said unhappily, "Sister Hongyan, you are looking for death, it's only now, and the third grandmother hasn't gotten up yet." ”

Hong Aya hurriedly said, "I have something urgent to see the third grandmother, don't get in the way, good dog." ”

Xing'er is not afraid of red silk, blocking the door and not letting go, and sneering at the back-lip machine, "Your mouth is so stinky, who are you scolding." Tell you, disturb the master's good dreams, and tell the housekeeper to go to the mother, you will be punished. ”

Hong Aya's voice rose and she scolded, "Your little hooves are really undertidyed, and after only a few days of pride, they have become rampant." When I served the third grandmother, I didn't know where you were......"

Lu Man said loudly, "Xing'er, I'm awake, let Hongyan come in." ”

Red Aya snorted, pulled Apricot apart, ran into the bedroom, and reflexively closed the door. Her hair was uncombed, her clothes were untidy, and she knelt at the head of Lu Man's bed and cried.

Lu Man exclaimed, "What's wrong with you?" Hurry up, if you have something to say, it's good. ”

Hong Aya cried and whispered, "Grandma, what's the matter, I have a lot of small bumps on my body, densely packed." Third grandmother, you will cure the disease, help the slave and maid to see, don't drive the slave out of the house. ”

Red Aya was scared to death, not knowing what disease she had. If you get ringworm, you will definitely be kicked out of the house. So how can she do it, it is so easy for her to serve the third master closely, and now the third master and the third grandmother have a disagreement, if she is thrown out, don't think about any wealth.

Lu Man listened to her words and quickly got up and said, "Come to the window and let me see more clearly." ”

Red Aya came to the window and lifted her clothes.

Now the sky is not too bright, Lu Man opened the window wide, bowed down and watched. There are a lot of small red bumps in front of and behind Hong Aya's body, one by one, dense, very scary.

Lu Man was taken aback and asked a few questions in a row, "Do you have a headache, a fever, an itch?" ”

"It's itchy," Midoriya replied, "Third Grandma, look at it, the slaves and maids are scratching and bleeding in some places." The head doesn't hurt, but there is a low-grade fever. ”

Lu Man looked at it more carefully, and said with a sigh of relief, "Although the symptoms are a bit like spotted rash and wind cold, I'm sure you should have a flower rash, but fortunately, it won't pass." ”

Red Aya had never heard of the disease of flower rash, but she was relieved to hear that it would not pass. He asked, "What is a flower rash, why haven't you heard of it?" ”

Lu Man made up casually, "Of course you haven't heard of it, I only saw it in a medical book a few days ago." Flower eruption is a seasonal onset of the rash caused by the smell of a certain flower that causes oblique winds to enter the body. You're just starting out now, and you're only growing on your body, and you'll be on your face and hands in two days. Flower rash is very similar to spotted wind cold, and the disease is going to be overcome. If someone sees you reporting it, you're going to be sent out. ”
