Another half month has passed, midsummer has arrived, and the lotus flowers in the back garden are in bloom.
In order to avoid being watched by Aunt Zhou all the time, Huaizhu and I run to the back garden at every turn.
After all, the environment is more comfortable and comfortable, and you don’t have to worry about people hiding and listening while chatting.
At the moment, I'm wearing a camisole waisted cigarette cage dress with a moon-white dark pattern embroidered cloud bra. My long hair is half-tied, and the top part of my head is tied into a simple cloud-facing bun. I'm standing in front of the railing teasing the fish in the pond. Children.
This is all thanks to Sophora japonica. Since my status in the mansion has been rising, I have been able to enjoy endless amounts of gold, silver, jade, silk and satin.
The Li family also knew that I had suffered a lot of grievances in the Prime Minister's Mansion. In order for Liu Huai'an and I to get married as soon as possible, no matter what good things were sent to my yard for me to choose from.
Huaizhu tidied me up beautifully, and she was satisfied when she saw it.
In this way, Huaizhu has more thoughts on me to think about new ideas.
The euphemistic saying is that Buddha wants gold and people want clothes.
As for me, I can do whatever she wants. As long as she is happy, it doesn't matter if I act as her model.
Huaizhu saw me standing next to the pond holding a sapphire-glazed bowl, throwing fish bait into it and was very happy.
He quickly stepped forward and grabbed my bowl, and rolled his eyes at me: "My lady, I just said so much, did you hear it?"
I took the bowl back and continued to sprinkle it into the pond. Watching the colorful fish swarming in, my mood also improved. I looked back and said to Huaizhu: "Isn't it that little bitch Dai Shishi? What happened to her?"
Huaizhu pouted: "I knew you didn't listen."
I returned to her, put my arm around her shoulders, and sat down in front of the railing of the corridor: "Then say it again."
Seeing that I was willing to listen to her gossip, Huaizhu became interested again and continued: "Isn't that little bitch pregnant and reluctant to beat her?"
"I heard from the women in other yards that this little bitch's hard days are still to come."
"Not only am I three months pregnant and suffering from early morning sickness, but I also have to continue cleaning the yard. Now I am miserable every day, not to mention how heartbreaking it is."
After hearing this, I became curious. Didn't Liu Huaian love her the most? She is suffering now, and Liu Huaian is just watching?
I asked her: "Where is your prime minister? He didn't come out to plead with the old lady or anything?"
Huaizhu waved her hands repeatedly: "Hey, Mr. Xiang himself is so busy every day that he has no time to care about her."
"Then do you know what Mr. Xiang is busy with?"
"I really don't know this."
"Okay, the fish just happened to be fed. Let's go back."
I clapped my hands and stood up. Huaizhu took out a handkerchief to wipe my hands, and then put the glazed bowl filled with fish bait into his arms.
Anyway, I've been out for a long time, and it's time to go back for lunch.
This is probably the only benefit of Aunt Zhou's coming. Huaizhu no longer has to worry about my three meals a day, nor does he have to worry about going to the kitchen to look at the faces of the ladies.
Moreover, Aunt Zhou is Uncle Fu's wife, so the ladies in the kitchen have to give her some respect. In addition, Mrs. Li secretly asked her to help me take good care of my health.
After she came, Huaizhu and I became a lot better.
We were leaving the back garden and preparing to go back to Xiaoxiang Courtyard, when we met Yurao, whom we hadn’t seen for a long time.
As a result, when she saw us, she hid her face from a distance and tried to rush by.
I realized that there was something wrong with Yurao's walking posture, and then she was covering herself up and didn't dare to look directly at us. It must be that she had been beaten badly by Mrs. Li before, and the old illness was not cured, and she was beaten by Dai Shishi. hurt.
Huaizhu saw the right opportunity to block her, put his hands on his hips and said with a powerful voice: "It's okay if you don't bow to our young lady when you see her, why are you running?"
Yu Rao knelt on the ground in fear, buried her head and whispered: "Madam, spare your life! Sister Huaizhu, spare your life!"
Huaizhu glanced at me, squatted in front of Yurao, raised her cheek, and then discovered that her once fair and handsome cheek was covered with bruises.
No need to think about it, it must have been Dai Shishi who did it.
Moreover, both the master and the servant were in trouble, and they were an eyesore in the mansion, just like the Sangmenxing. Everyone who saw them wanted to kick them.
Yurao covered her face with tears streaming down her face: "Madam, please forgive me. I was blind and didn't see you. If I bumped into you, please atone for your sins."
I asked her condescendingly and expressionlessly: "What's wrong with your face?"
Yurao hesitated and did not dare to reply.
Huaizhu pretended to be fierce: "I'm mute and I want to ask you something!"
With tears in her eyes, Yurao sobbed: "I accidentally fell it by myself."
I continued to sneer. It seemed that no one was allowed to enter the house. I motioned to Huaizhu: "Let's go."
After walking a few steps, I remembered again that the black krait was still fostered by Fu Bo.
I said to Yurao: "It's true that even though you are such a big person, you can get bruised and swollen after falling. How about this? I'll ask Aunt Zhou to make some soup for you to replenish your health."
"Oh, by the way, there is also your girl. She needs nutrition in the first trimester of pregnancy. Please invite her to drink it together."
Huaizhu didn't know what my plan was, so she pulled me aside and gnashed her teeth: "Miss! Have you forgotten how they treated you? Not only did they bully me, they also wanted to bully you, and even threw poisonous snakes into your bedroom. Do you still remember?"
Yurao heard her words clearly and was too frightened to move.
I comforted her: "Zhuzhu, everyone makes mistakes. If you know your mistakes, you can just correct them. And you should be generous and don't be so petty."
Huaizhu was angry, and his two big eyes wanted to poke holes in Yurao's body.
After returning to Xiaoxiang Courtyard, Huaizhu was still feeling unhappy.
I let her go. After all, she was hurt so badly by Yurao and beaten so badly by Dai Shishi. She definitely didn't want to see them having an easy time, let alone me being nice to them.
I asked Mrs. Zhou to ask Uncle Fu to get the black kraited snake, and then send it to the kitchen for the ladies to stew snake soup.
Because it is very easy, it can be stewed in half an afternoon.
Aunt Zhou brought the snake soup in a casserole and put it on the table.
Huaizhu was kept in the dark. She smelled the aroma and thought it was some kind of chicken soup. When she opened the lid of the pot and took a look, her face turned pale with fright.
When a person is afraid, he becomes hesitant to speak: "Little... miss... this... this..."
I still looked at her with a calm smile.
Huaizhu looked at my harmless smile and was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on her back.
Aunt Zhou didn't take it seriously, thinking that I kept the food for myself, so she came out to persuade me: "This snake soup is a very nourishing food. Eating it not only strengthens the spleen and eliminates food, but also nourishes the blood and calms the mind. Most people don't even think about it."
I looked at Sophora japonica and said: "It is indeed a good thing. Now please give this soup to Miss Shishi. I feel sorry for her. It is too hard to clean the courtyard while pregnant, so I will give it to her." repair."
Aunt Zhou was not happy: "If Madam doesn't keep such a good thing for herself, why is it so cheap for that little hoof?"
I smiled and said, "It's just because I feel sorry for her. You see that she worked hard to conceive for ten months. After the child is born, it may not be hers. While she can still enjoy the joy of being a mother, you should be nice to her."
After the conversation ended, Aunt Zhou was moved: "I didn't expect Madam to be so sensible. Not only did she repay kindness with kindness, but she was also so kind to them. I'm going to leave now."
Only then did Huaizhu realize my intention, and she pulled me to act coquettishly: "Zhuzhu made the mistake of blaming the young lady. Zhuzhu accepts the punishment."
I smiled and watched Aunt Zhou leave Xiaoxiangyuan with the casserole, and the joy in my heart only increased.
