In the early February, the capital was extremely cold, and the outside was already dripping into ice, but the steaming clean room was indeed warm as spring, and four or five maids wearing warm yellow narrow sleeves and small jackets were holding tight and tight water urns with lids outside, ready to go in and add water at any time.
After a while, the door opened a little halfway, and Hua Zhen, who was wearing a pink embroidered placket jacket, leaned out from inside, beckoned, and the little maids carefully carried the water urn into the door.
In front of him was a bright red agate bead curtain, which was finely shredded with red halo, "Hurry up, the water is going to be cold."
Hua Zhen urged softly, leading the little maids into the innermost.
The large cedar tub exudes a faint fragrance under the soak of hot water, and the clouds and mist rise from it like a light veil, like a fairy palace.
There was a slender figure sitting in the water, with jet-black hair sprinkled on the delicate and transparent snowy body, and the simple color difference revealed a thrilling charm.
Hua Zhen carefully reached in and stirred the water, so as not to let the hot water that had just been put in scald the young lady, and persuaded him: "Soak it for a while and get up, otherwise the skin will be wrinkled." ” Yuzhu's hands were flexible under the water, feeling the smoothness of the warm water with the fragrance of plum blossoms through his fingers, and said with a flattering smile: "Okay, Huaji, it will get up immediately." ” After playing with enough water, Yuzhu was obediently helped out of the bathtub, and Hayazono and Qinsi took a clean cotton towel to carefully wipe the water off her body.
"I said why the fragrance of plum blossoms in this room is so strong, it turns out that plum blossoms are blooming."
Yuzhu put the plum branches that have not opened in the bathroom a few days ago, and used the hot and humid steam fumigation treatment in the bathroom to make the flower bones bloom in advance.
Hua Zhen was holding a handkerchief to twist her hair, and couldn't help but smile when she heard the words, "Miss is also a little anxious, wait for a little more and a half, and the plum blossoms in the plum garden will not be full yet." ” "At that time, plum blossoms were something that could be seen everywhere, how could it be precious at this moment, and now even if it is used as a gift, it is also made."
Yuzhu closed his eyes, let the silver chain take the sweet almond oil they made themselves little by little on their face, and gently massage to help absorb, enjoy the soft and moist feeling on the face, Yuzhu suddenly felt satisfied, this almond oil effect is really good, although it is difficult to do, but wiping the face and body are excellent.
Qin Si helped Yuzhu change into the underwear that had already been baked warm, and guessed: "Miss is planning to give it to Miss Yumei, is it possible that Miss wants to participate in the full moon ceremony" The maids in the house couldn't help but stop what they were doing when they heard this, it stands to reason that Miss Yumei's son was born, so she should go and see it, but the Wu family is not even an official family after all Yuzhu showed a depressed wry smile, since the last assassination, he already loves the house and doesn't like to go out anymore, every time Cui's takes her to the temple to pray for a blessing, it takes a long time to speak, even coaxing, not to mention that he went to participate in a cousin who hurt himself in the boudoir, who wants to go out on a cold day in the cold spring.
"It's not a question of whether you want to go or not."
Yuzhu pointed at his fingers and said: "The eldest aunt, the second aunt, the mother and the fourth aunt are all going to go, except for Sister Hongdou who has married into the palace and Sister Yulan who is in the Yongchang Hou Mansion who has no time, everyone else who can go can't be absent, after all, it is the first child born by the girl who married out of the Lin family."
"Carelessly, there is a mouthful of warm goat milk, Yuzhu disdains it, there is no time, one is a side concubine, the other is a concubine, and the other is a concubine daughter-in-law, naturally it is more "hard" than the average daughter-in-law, how can you go out casually.
Thinking of the news I heard recently, Yuzhu couldn't help but gloat a little, I heard that the princess of Runan Wangfu is a powerful character, and she won the love of Princess Runan a few months after the national funeral, and coaxed the princess to treat him like her own daughter, and handed over the housekeeping to her early, and how did Hongdou's side concubine come about has always been a thorn in her heart, not only can she not say that she likes it, but even the surface decency does not give her the favor of the prince left, But men's love is probably one of the few things in the world that is more fragile than paper, the external water, fire, tearing, pollution, the aging and brittleness inside, each of which can be easily destroyed, Yuzhu wants to see what kind of fate this crossing colleague will fall into after bothering to marry into her satisfactory destination.
"Silk."
Yuzhu took a deep breath.
"Hmm" "The strap on your back is so tight that I'm a little out of breath."
Qin Si glanced sideways, and suddenly a smile appeared in her eyes, and she smiled at Hua Zhen: "It's all your fault, Miss has grown up, why is this belly pocket still the same as before." ” Hua Zhen really thought that the work he was doing was not good, so he hurriedly put down the incense in his hand and came over to take a look, and as soon as his eyes touched the curve on Yuzhu's chest, he knew what was going on, "Hey, how can you say that, it should be Ruan's mother's fault, who asked her to stew soybean and pig's feet soup for Miss every once in a while." ” Now even the rough maid who came in to clean up the bath bucket couldn't help laughing, Yuzhu himself also looked down, well, it's really good to be like this at the age of fifteen, too lazy to pay attention to the group of smiling and shy maids, walked out of the clean room with their heads held high, and of course did not forget to take away the bottle of plum blossoms floating with dark fragrance.
When I arrived at Cui's main room, the little maid who played the curtain did not report, and let Yuzhu go in after making a salute.
When I entered the door, I saw half of the room, Yuzhu looked at it, and there were many familiar faces, but they looked much more respectful than before.
Cui Shi saw his slim daughter walking slowly, and couldn't help but show a comfortable smile, and his cold eyebrows and eyes softened.
"Why don't you bring a hand stove when you come over on a cold day, and how do the maids below serve you."
Cui Shi hurriedly touched Yuzhu's hand, the tentacles were warm and soft, and then he was relieved.
"How can she be so delicate, her daughter has good bones."
But what is said is the truth, in this era, medical conditions are only limited to drinking medicine, acupuncture, how can you do it without recuperating your body, Ruan's mother is really a treasure, she is particularly proficient in health recipes, and under her careful conditioning, even the previous slight chills are gone.
The housekeeper mother standing below, the daughters-in-law who are responsible everywhere, and the daughters-in-law of the head of the village have long been surprised, Mrs.
Cui's love for the second girl is really powerful, especially Cui's several henchmen and housekeeper mothers are even more unique, over the years they can see the means of the second girl, what kind of survival of the fittest, competition for posts, Mrs. also strongly supported, their own people's stable days are over, there are so many people in the back, especially the other wave of housekeepers who are often ridiculed and oppressed, They can only work hard, and they don't dare to catch much oil and water, for fear of being stabbed by competitors to their wives, and everyone has lost a lot of weight.
Yuzhu put the white glaze carved gourd pattern vase in his hand on the five-legged round flower table on the yellow pear face, sat quietly and listened to the report of a Zhuangtou daughter-in-law, since Yulan got married, the sick and crooked Aunt Sun did not long go, and Cui's took advantage of the guilt of Lord Zou to solve the Qinglu along the pole, and since then the house has been peaceful and happy, Cui's will pour all his blood into teaching his daughter, how to control the people, cooking Zhuangzi, and the shop are all the most important to learn.
Cui Shi looked at the plum blossoms on the table, and then looked at his daughter's quiet and elegant face, which was as bright as a bud, and slowly evoked a happy smile.
Originally, things were almost over, and after a few daughters-in-law who were out of the shop, Cui Shi let them disperse, ready to say something considerate to his daughter.
"Didn't you hear me" Seeing a slender woman with a plain dress still standing below, Cui Shi was suddenly a little displeased.
"Madam, please save the slave and maid's daughter."
The woman seemed to be extremely frightened, but she still said it firmly, and Yuzhu noticed that her body under her official green cloth jacket was trembling slightly, so she pressed Cui's hand and whispered, "Mother, you heard what happened." ” Cui Shi reluctantly nodded the tip of Yuzhu's nose, looked at the woman kneeling below, and said, "What's wrong, just say something." ” The daughter-in-law swallowed her saliva, did not dare to raise her head, and only knelt on the ground to reply.
It may be that she was a little excited, her words were a little confused, Yuzhu listened attentively, and the general meaning was like this: The daughter of this daughter-in-law of Zhuangtou is called Shuangxi, married to a poor scholar, and originally pointed out that she would be able to get out of slavery and have a bright future in the future.
But the scholar looked at the words of the sage, Sven and polite, but he could only drag a few words of sour poems in terms of ability, and he was not admitted to Xiucai several times, and he was not able to do general affairs, he could not do business, and he could not do farming, and the family's expenses were all supported by the dowry of Double Happiness, she did needlework little by little to help her husband save pen and ink silver, and gave birth to children for him, and also sold all the jewelry in the dowry and put a few acres of land.
He was beaten and scolded day and night, and was threatened to be divorced with jealousy, and then he had no choice but to let the concubine enter the door Yuzhu sighed, how can a peasant woman who is tired of working for her livelihood all day long compare to a delicate and clever concubine, this result can be guessed.
"The slave's daughter begged for a letter half a month ago, saying that Na Xiucai planned to force her to die and then marry the daughter of a rich man in the town" The daughter-in-law couldn't cry when she said this, and only kowtowed desperately, "Ask the wife to save the slave and maid's daughter, the slave and the maid have come to the door several times, but they haven't seen my double happiness, and I don't know if I'm dead or alive now." ” "Where is your son-in-law?"
Cui Shi frowned and listened, sighed slowly, and asked.
"Ding Xiucai from Dingjia Village behind our Zhuangzi, there is a Xiucai in the village, and everyone in the neighborhood knows about it."
The woman said eagerly, for fear that the Cui family would not care if it was too late. gd1806102:
