The maids who served Princess Zhao were all old men in the palace, seeing that the princess's face was blue, and there were fine beads of sweat coming out of her forehead, they were frightened one by one, for fear that something would happen to the master, once the princess made a mistake with the little prince in her stomach, they were afraid that these slaves would not be able to save their lives.
The goose-egg-faced maid carried hot water, and held a porcelain jar in her hand, which contained clear yellow and transparent wolfberry honey, which was sent by the general's wife, saying that the wolfberry honey was in good condition, nourishing yin and replenishing qi, and the princess was thin and weak, and she was about to give birth.
Ning Xiang brought the tea cup to Princess Zhao, and said softly: "Master, although you don't want to drink these sweet and greasy, you have to nourish your body, the slave and maid look at the wolfberry honey in the Zhuangzi and the texture is excellent, why don't you drink some slowly......
In the palace before, because the guards guarding the door deliberately treated her, Princess Zhao had not tasted meat for nearly a month, and she could only eat some cabbage boiled in salted water every day, and sometimes she couldn't even eat rice.
As for honey, she didn't like this sweet and greasy taste before, but now it's not bad to eat, and Shilipo is not as good as the capital, and she doesn't want to pick and choose.
Thinking so in her heart, Princess Zhao stretched out her hand to take the teacup, lifted the lid and blew the water vapor escaping from her head, a sweet fragrance diffused in the house, the fragrance was not too strong, but it was endless, very seductive, although Princess Zhao didn't like to drink honey tea before, but she didn't think the taste of this thing was so good, and when the tea soup was not so hot, she took a sip gently, and her eyes couldn't help but squint slightly.
As the honey tea swallowed the stomach, a warm current gradually melted in the stomach pouch, the sweet fragrance seemed to soak the throat, but did not feel greasy, slowly drank a whole bowl of honey tea, the woman's originally sallow cheeks without a trace of blood, now floating a faint ruddy, goose egg face maid thought that the fire in the house was too hot, stuffy master, just about to push the window open to breathe, then heard Princess Zhao say:
"Brew another bowl of honey tea, this smell is pretty good."
Hearing her princess's words, the maid was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly scooped up the honey again, poured water, and saw the honey gradually melting, smelling the smell in her nose, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
"The slave maid heard that the general's wife opened two Rong'an Fang in the capital, the pickles in the shop taste very good, many high-ranking families have sent slaves to wait at the door of the store early, if you go late, like pickled cucumbers, pickled bamboo shoots and other food will be swept away, you can't buy it if you want to, not only pickles, but also salted duck and Songhua eggs and other things are also selling well, we have never tasted this kind of food in the palace before, I really don't know how the general's wife came up with it......"
Princess Zhao couldn't help but be surprised, her fingertips curled her scattered sideburns, and asked lazily: "It's just a small pickle, it's really so delicious?" ”
"The slave maid has never eaten it, but looking at the business of Rong'an Fang, it is surprisingly good, there must still be real materials, if you want to taste it, the slave and maid will ask the mother-in-law in the kitchen for a little ......"
Princess Zhao originally didn't care about eating, as long as she was good for her body, but she was surrounded by guards for a whole month, and her mouth was light, and now when she heard the word pickles, she couldn't help but feel a little greedy in her mouth.
The goose-faced maid has been waiting by the master's side for a long time, and she is an informed and interesting character, although she didn't ask much, she saw Princess Zhao's thoughts. When it was time for dinner, she brought a small plate of verdant, knuckle-long cucumbers to the table, accompanied by pale pink rouge rice porridge, which was light but appetizing.
The pickles brought to Princess Zhao are not the same as those sold in the Rong'anfang shop, Mrs. Zhao made a kind of powder before, added to the brine and fragrant, the taste is indeed not much different from the pickles with Lingquan water, but the aura is incomparable, so that the food sold by Rong'anfang now tastes good, but the effect of nourishing and nourishing the body is not as good as before.
But the pickles in the kitchen are different, this is made by Pan'er herself in her spare time, although there are not many, but a few more drops of spring water are added to the braised soup.
People who are healthy eat pickles and can't feel anything, but a pregnant woman like Princess Zhao, who is a little lossy, only feels full of energy after eating, and before coming to the waste village, her lower abdomen is faintly distended, but she doesn't dare to tell others, and even the two maids who are serving her don't know.
After all, what he was pregnant with in his belly was King Zhao's only bone and blood, and once the fetus in his womb could not be saved, it was not just a miscarriage.
Princess Zhao was frightened every day, but she didn't expect to come to the village for a day, and after eating and drinking, the uncomfortable feeling in her abdomen disappeared, which made her feel surprised and happy in her heart, and her mouth couldn't close when she smiled.
"In the future, I will ask for some pickles for every meal, I remember that there is a jade bracelet in the cage, and I will remind me to take it to the general's wife, after all, it is not good to eat and live in vain if you are harassed in other people's houses."
Princess Zhao was full of praise for eating pickles, which Pan'er didn't know, and she was now thinking about opening another piece of land to grow thorn gourds.
Thorn gourd is a rare good thing, can sober up and quench thirst, phlegm and detoxification, but also cure kidney deficiency, spermatozoa, the most important thing is that the taste of thorn gourd is sweet and sour, you can eat the fruit at the end of March every year, generally grow on the sunny slope, a few days ago after the snow, Zhou Zhuangtou and Lao Qi went up the mountain again, and found that the thorn gourd trees in the back mountain have bloomed, which moved the idea of transplanting.
When Pan'er moved to Zhuangzi last year, she tried her best to plant some fruit trees, so as not to let the Zhuangzi be empty, but there were too many vacant lands in the abandoned village, even if all the saplings bought from the south were planted, there are still many barren fields overgrown with weeds.
Many tenants kept cattle and sheep at home, and from time to time they put them in the open space, but they did not gnaw the turf clean.
Pan'er is a door-slamming character, even if she becomes the general's wife and has a lot of private money in her hand, she still can't wait to break a penny into two pennies.
Although the thorn gourd is not squeamish, it must grow in the sunny territory, Zhou Zhuangtou took a group of tenants up the mountain, directly threw out the thorn gourd tree on the mountain, directly divided the plant, and planted it in a good place.
Before planting, these saplings were all placed in the tenants' homes, Pan'er's heart was very itchy, and it was impossible to run to their homes to see because of their identity, and after all the thorn gourds were planted, because the back mountains were all small trees, and after the branches, they probably hurt their roots, and they were wilted in the ground.
Thinking about the sweet and sour taste of the thorn gourd, Pan'er squatted on the side of the sapling, stretched out his hand and touched the soft leaves with pity, each sapling dripped a drop of spiritual spring water, not stingy at all, if the old man Ge saw Pan'er wasting the spiritual spring water on the thorn gourd, I am afraid that he will be angry.
In winter, there is snow in the village, and the mastiffs and wild wolves don't like to go out and make trouble, so they stay in the hut, after all, the yard is cold, even if they have thick hair, they can't stand the cold air.
As the winter passed, both beasts had fattened up, and the slow loris, which had previously conceived cubs, was about to give birth.
Luan Yu made a nest for the slow loris in the house, using the old clothes left over by Xiaobao, and adding some soft and dry cotton, the slow loris is really worthy of the lazy word, as the belly gets bigger and bigger, it doesn't even want to move, every day it holds almond melon seeds and other things, and from time to time steals some wolfberry honey.
That night, the slow loris lying in the nest suddenly squeaked, the voice was sharp and sharp, so noisy that people couldn't sleep at all, Chu Liang took the fire fold and lit the candle, and saw the slow loris lying in the nest, shivering all over, Pan'er put on his coat and went down to the ground, saw the appearance of the little thing, and asked with some hesitation: "Isn't it going to give birth to cubs?" ”
"This ...... I don't know? "Chu Liang has seen a slow loris many times before, but he has never seen this thing give birth, but the slow loris has a big belly since winter, and it has been pregnant for several months, and it is time to give birth to a baby.
Pan'er moved the small pestle over, and sat directly not far from the slow loris, there was a stack of wails in her ears, her face showed unbearability, took the spiritual spring water and poured it on the tea lid, and sent it to the slow loris.
Even at a very critical juncture, the slow loris could distinguish that the spiritual spring water was a rare and good thing, and stretched out its pale pink tongue to lick the tea lid vigorously, and although the cry in its mouth did not stop, it was far less painful than before.
Tossed for two hours, the little thing finally gave birth to a little cub, the slow loris reminded to be small, not much bigger than the adult man's slap, the cub born is even more pocket-sized, Pan'er can directly put the cub in the palm of the hand, the slow loris who has just become a mother has no intention of taking the initiative to attack, and even lazily licked the woman's palm, and the hairy face is full of flattery.
I heard that the slow loris is very difficult to raise, and the little cub is not like its mother, full of dark brown long hair, but looks exactly the same as a newborn little mouse, showing a pale pink color, fleshy, at this moment the little cub has not opened his eyes, humming and chirping in Pan'er's hands, bumping with his head, probably wanting to feed.
The slow loris who had just given birth to a cub turned over and helped the cub to touch the milk. The position of the head, probably hungry, the little cub took a bite and ate the thief fragrant, Pan'er fed the big one some spiritual spring water, and made sure that there would be no incident, so he washed his hands and lay on the bed with Chu Liang.
Obviously, when it was just night, Chu Liang just got it once, Pan'er's waist and legs were sore, and he couldn't lift his strength at all, how could he have thought that this person was awakened in the middle of the night, not only did he not have a little fatigue on his face, but he became energetic again, holding the person firmly in his arms, kissing the delicate cheeks, lips, and neck......
Pressing Chu Liang's head with both hands, Pan'er didn't know whether she wanted to push him away, or hugged him tighter, there was already a fire burning in the house, and it was very hot to sleep on it, but now not only was her body hot, but her heart was even more fired, if she didn't vent it, I was afraid it would be difficult to extinguish.
Tossed until the sky was bright, Chu Liang jumped down from the kang neatly, his movements were light without a trace of sound, and he did not wake up the little woman sleeping on the side of the cheeks with red cheeks, and when he was dressed neatly, when he passed the nest made of bamboo baskets, the slow loris raised his eyelids and took a look, and found that it was Chu Liang, and buried his head again, and continued to gnaw on the fragrant and crispy walnut kernels.
There are a lot of sausages and bacon dried in the waste village, some of the bacon is connected to the stick bone, the bone stick is very hard, and it can't be chopped with a kitchen knife, Qian Pozi simply used a casserole to put the smoked stick bones on the stove and stewed, the original roasted meat had a special aroma, plus it was stewed on the stove for a long time, and the fragrance came out of the kitchen.
Princess Zhao, who lives next door, naturally smelled this smell, obviously she didn't like meat before, since she was hungry for a month, she no longer has the slightest resistance to meat, and her stomach made a gurgling sound, even if the sound was not loud, it still made the dignified and beautiful Princess Zhao's cheeks red.
The maid next to her didn't notice it, and continued to use an ivory comb to gently comb the master's hair, and when it was tidy, she went directly to the kitchen and smiled at Mrs. Qian: "Aunt Qian, there is bacon stewed in the kitchen, it tastes so fragrant, your craftsmanship is really good......
The goose-egg-faced maid is also a sweet mouth, she has come to the kitchen a lot of times in the past few days, and she is also familiar with Mrs. Qian, and she smiled in a few words, but fortunately, this woman is also a boast, and hurriedly waved her hand and said:
"Although I marinated this bacon, I added something else to it, which is Madame's secret recipe, so the taste can be so gluttonous."
I begged for some pickles for Princess Zhao before, and the goose-faced maid was also fortunate to taste a little, and the taste was very clear in retrospect at the moment, no wonder Rong'anfang's business in the capital was so good, probably because the ancestral secret recipe of the general's wife was not simple, so it would be so.
The stick bones and the bacon stewed on the stove are not short, Qian Pozi lifted the lid of the casserole, the soup in it kept gurgling, showing milky white, and there were some pale golden oil flowers floating around, and he skimmed it with a spoon, and he was not so greasy when he drank it.
Whether the identity of Princess Zhao is very noble, or the guest of the abandoned village, Pan'er has explained before, once Princess Zhao has any requirements, if it is not excessive, try her best to meet it, the two masters and servants are not embarrassed, Mrs. Qian happily scooped the soup and poured it into the porcelain cup, and let the goose-egg-faced maid send it to the house.
At lunch, Pan'er drank a bowl of bacon soup and ate some candied fruit, and then took the accumulated spiritual spring water and walked in the direction of the empty house.
There are precious gold essence stones in the empty house, although those stones are mottled in color, and they are inconspicuous to look at, but as long as they are soaked in spiritual spring water, they are more valuable than the same amount of gold.
Chu Liang felt sorry for his little daughter-in-law, and saw that every time she made spiritual spring water, she had to twist it on the tender flesh on the inside of her arm, and the twist was green and swollen.
The man pondered in his heart, and went directly to Ge Zhichuan, like he asked for a snuff bottle, with dried e-cigarette oil in it, the taste was choking and spicy, and he would cry when he smelled it.
As soon as Pan'er put the snuffbox to the side of her cheek, tears gushed out with the spiritual spring water, and choked him to treat the cough, although it was very uncomfortable, but it was much stronger than pinching herself, her eyelids and the tip of her nose were red and swollen, and she made a lot of spiritual spring water.
Rao is like this, because there are too many rough stones in the empty house, she has only refined a small half, and most of the rest is estimated to take half a year to become a high-grade one.
Two-thirds of the high-quality gold essence stones were taken to the Jiangnan area, and the rest were left in the capital, after all, there were many dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing, and there were also vassal and elegant people, these were generous and had the best face, and they were sold to them, although there were some bad things, but they made more money.
In order to avoid suspicion, Chu Liang did not come forward in person, but just sent his guards to dress up in disguise, pretending to be foreign merchants, renting the largest treasure building in Beijing, and selling all the gold and stones.
During this period of time, although Chu Liang was busy during the day, most of the time he would return to Zhuangzi at night, and he and Pan'er were young, and there was nothing wrong with their bodies, and after tossing for so long, the little daughter-in-law's Kwai Shui was finally late this month.
When it was seven or eight days late, Pan'er was still not sure, and she didn't come to Xiaozhi for nearly half a month, and she was a person who had given birth to a child, so she was more careful in eating, and Chu Liang was not allowed to move her hands and feet at night, for fear of hurting the baby in her belly.
