Chapter 17: Stay
Hua Ji put down the bowl and said to the old lady: "As soon as my grandmother said it, I realized that Ji'er was indeed a little tired."
The old lady said to Xiao Tao who was waiting at the door with concern: "Take the little lady to the courtyard of the four girls to rest, and cook my best snow swallow for Ji'er to replenish her body."
"Yes, old lady!" Xiao Tao quickly replied.
Hua Ji said goodbye to the old lady and followed Xiao Tao to the courtyard where her mother lived before leaving the pavilion
Hua Ji followed Xiao Tao through the corridor in front of the house to the back of the house, walked through a path paved with cobblestones, at the end of the path is a small gate in the courtyard, the plaque on the courtyard door reads three big characters of Peach Blossom Spring, the font is neat, vigorous and powerful!
Xiao Tao saw that Hua Ji looked at the plaque fixedly, she explained: "This was originally a peach blossom forest, the fourth lady was born in a peach blossom morning, Master Zhong ordered someone to build a courtyard here, Miss Ran lived here, Miss has been living here before she got married, when you came over yesterday, the eldest lady ordered someone to change new daily necessities, let you live here"!
While listening to Xiao Tao's explanation, the two walked inside, facing the main house, there are wings on both sides, the wing room with dried vegetables hanging on the south side is the kitchen, and there is a small door in the corner of the west side of the kitchen, which is very dilapidated, Hua Ji asked curiously: "What is the small door of Xiao Tao for?"
Xiao Tao smiled and said: "That is for the young lady's yard to send rice and vegetables, but also convenient for the next person to go out to buy things, the fourth lady's yard is far away from the main gate and the back door, it was very lively here, there is only a daughter of the young lady at home, so the old lady and Master Zhong often dine here with the young lady, and a small door is opened in this courtyard for convenience."
Xiao Tao sent Hua Ji into the bedroom and took the blood swallow given by the old lady to the kitchen, the kitchen lady is one of the kitchen girls in the front yard kitchen, this time Hua Ji came to stay, Li intimately sent the cook to serve here, Xiao Tao went in and saw Aunt Zhang was wiping the kitchen utensils in the kitchen, she stepped forward and said: "Aunt Zhang, this superb blood swallow is the old lady to make up for Miss Hua Ji, you stew it and send it over."
Hanahime entered the living room of the main room, the furniture and supplies in the hall were simple, and the daily necessities were all necessities, there was no decoration, and there were no priceless antique ornaments, it seemed that her maternal grandfather was indeed a man of incorruptibility and frugality.
Hua Ji walked into the bedroom, the bed in front of her was covered with a pink satin quilt, and a light blue pillow was placed above the quilt, which was very suitable for the color of her age, and there was a set of peach blossom pattern tea sets on the small table in the room, and there was a delicate copper box next to it, Hua Ji picked up the copper box with interest and opened it, and a burst of osmanthus fragrance came to her nose, it seems that this Li family is good to her from the bottom of her heart, and even such a good tea was given to her, and she also likes that tea set, what kind of girl has no resistance to beautiful things.
Hua Ji looked around the house, did not see where there were her mother's relics, presumably brought to the flower family when she got married! A whole night of busyness, Hua Ji really couldn't bear it, went to bed and fell asleep, in fact, Hua Ji came here and did not take a bath, because there was no bath bucket, no one boiled water for her, the nurse's physical strength is not good, let the nurse boil a bucket of bath water is simply embarrassing her, so every day Hua Ji only uses a basin of warm water to scrub, and then soak her feet to sleep!
Such a flower girl was surprised, and the former flower girl didn't even wash her face for a few days. She's sick and hungry and has no strength, it's not easy to live to 14 years old, and now Hua Ji has food to eat every day, of course she has more strength than the original Hua Ji to notice the image!
Hua Ji slept for two hours, heard the nurse call her, although she didn't really want to open her eyes, but still forced to open them, the nurse's hair in front of her was combed very upright, there was no messy hair like before, it seemed to be smeared with oil, wearing a simple hair ornament, wearing a cotton jacket that was not fitting but neat, and her face was much better!
Hua Ji refreshed herself, slowly sat up and said to the nurse: "What is the matter with the nurse waking up Ji'er?"
The nurse smiled and said to Hua Ji, "Eat something and then sleep, the old lady asked someone to stew blood swallows for you!"
Now that Hanahime's body has laid a good foundation, it's time to take supplements! Hanahime's own medical skills and the fact that she can live a normal life at her grandmother's house will finally be able to look like a normal person in a few days!
