The maid probably didn't expect that I would suddenly change my face, and I was taken aback and forgot to speak, and I had already walked in front of her in two steps, and said eloquently, "What's going on ?!"
She was even more frightened and looked at me in horror: "So, so Miss Ruoshi took her out."
"What?" Han Ruoshi went out with his child away? I hurriedly asked, "How long have you been out?"
They glanced at one another, and the other maid said, "About an hour."
"..."
An hour.
I frowned suddenly.
The waitresses all looked at me carefully, and for a while they didn't even dare to breathe out. After a while, I didn't see anything else to say, or one of them was more savvy, rolled his eyes and said quietly: "Ma'am, do you want us to go out and find Miss Li?"
"..."
It's been an hour, and Jinling is so big, how can I find it?
I was a little angry and frustrated in my heart, just shook my head and said, "No more, don't look for it. However, you always look at it. If Miss Li comes back, come and tell me immediately."
"Yes."
"Okay, you go down."
"Yes."
They saluted me, and they all retreated carefully, but they just exited, but a few maids rushed in, but this time they sent me breakfast, and the porridge and vegetables were put on the table .
"Ma'am, this is the breakfast ordered by Miss Ruo Shi for his wife."
I smiled: "Miss Ruo Shi is really attentive."
They smiled and turned around and took a bowl and placed it in front of me, which contained half of a bowl of steaming soup, exuding a bitter taste.
I frowned slightly: "This is also prepared by Miss Ruo Shi? What is it?"
"No, ma'am, this is what the son ordered to prepare for his wife."
"Yuan Xiu?"
"Yes, the son made us fry and served it to the wife while it was hot."
"What medicine?"
"This, the son didn't say, but the prescription was given by Yao Lao."
"..."
I picked up the bowl of medicine and smelt it under my nose. I only smelled the deer grass, Xinyi, and it seemed to have the taste of angelica.
Seems like—Zongzitang?
It turns out he is ...
Some could not help crying.
However, it ’s nothing. In fact, he and I are not too young. Especially, he has already passed the age. He is still the second brother of Pei Yuanzhang according to the ranking. There is no son or daughter under his knee, and it is indeed a bit inexplicable. Fortunately, Queen Yin is unconscious and is not with him, otherwise the mother-in-law will blame my daughter-in-law.
However, since Yao Lao gave this prescription, it seems that he is also a little eager to make grandchildren.
Thinking of this, I could not help but smile a bit, and the two maids were still standing at the table, staring at me with no intention to step down.
I sighed and blew it twice. When the soup was cooler, I groaned it.
so bitter!
Although there was preparation in my heart, the taste of the soup medicine was enough for me. I was bitter enough to wrinkle my entire face and swallowed it. Then I gave the empty bowl to one of the maids. He laughed and said, "Mrs. Please use slowly."
After speaking, he retired with another maid.
Looking at their relaxed back, I couldn't help grinning twice, and then looked down at the table full of dishes. Although colorful, the bitter medicine smell made me have no appetite. I vomited twice and got up. opened.
However, the next time, it seemed to be worse than the bowl of bitter medicine.
Even Su Su wasn't there, and there was only me left in the inner courtyard. I strolled back and forth on the forest path for a while, and there was no news that the maid returned from leaving.
Inevitably, the anxiety in my heart added a bit.
When I returned to the room, I couldn't sit still. I just went out of the inner courtyard. As soon as I crossed the bridge, I saw the attendants and maids coming back and forth one by one. I just saluted far away, and didn't even have time to say a word before leaving.
I stood at the bridge head, watching the busy figures of those people, just like the running water under my feet, bustling away.
It seems that I am alone, a stubborn rock in the flowing water.
However, at this time I didn't have much mood and time to think about these gossips. I slowly went out, and the attendants who saw me along the way saw me, and finally unavoidably stopped to salute and asked me Anything I asked, I only asked them if they were back home, but they did n’t see it.
The anxiety in my heart is getting heavier.
Seeing that it was almost noon, I stood at the gate and watched the crowds passing by the open door, but I never saw them return, and the maids finally found out that I was wrong and came forward.
"Ma'am, is there anything wrong?"
"Mrs. just tell us something."
"If anything, we will go and ask Miss Zitong now."
I looked at them, and for a while I didn't know what to say, and at this moment, a familiar figure came in from the gate.
Take a closer look, it's Lier!
She stepped over the threshold and just saw me, her eyes widened in surprise: "Mother, why are you here?"
I stepped up and grabbed her arm: "Lier, where have you been, why did you come back now?"
"I--"
She didn't finish her words, and a soft voice was already beside her, "Sister Qingying."
I looked up and saw Han Ruoshi walking into the door, looking at me with a smile.
"Miss Ruoshi."
"Lier wants to take a look at the riverside today. I think my sister hasn't got up yet, maybe she's tired, so she took her own and took her out."
"what……"
"I didn't tell my sister to worry you, it's mine."
Her words were sincere, and I didn't know what to say. On the contrary, my mother-in-law didn't care enough about her daughter. This was the last time I lost her, and this time she was ...
Looking at the maids around, they also laughed and stepped back aside.
Suddenly I was awkward.
Fortunately, Lier in his arms raised his head and blinked his eyes and said, "Mother, don't worry, I just went to the riverside for a while, and Aunt Ruoshi bought me something to eat, so I came back late."
I found out that she still had some sugar cakes in her hands.
Involuntarily said: "You can't eat too much sugar right now, you are changing--"
Before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by a cough. When I looked up, Han Ruoshi was coughing while covering her mouth. The white and thin melon seeds had turned red, and all the maids around her surrounded her. Beside: "Miss."
"Miss is all right?"
"I'm fine," she waved gently. "It's just a bit tired. Take me back to rest."
The maids hurried to help her walk towards the other side, and whispered as she walked, "Miss is not in good health, should not have been so tired."
"That is, the lady is in charge of this house every day, and she should take care of it."
...
When they were far away, I and Lier stood at the door, and for a while they were a little bit nervous.
Outside the gate, there were still people coming and going, but there was a hustle and bustle, but it was just a distance away, but the two of us were a little strangely quiet. After a while, I looked down at her and saw that she was also a bit dull. No more talking. I thought about it and said, "Mother, take you back to your room."
"Um." She nodded obediently.
She went out for a long time, and went to the riverside. Her skirt was stained with mud. Once she returned to the room, a maid from Han Ruoshi sent her to clean her. I sat at the table in the center of the room and watched them busy After being busy for a while, and finally finished, I went up and asked, "Lier, do you want to eat with your mother at noon?"
"No mother, if Aunt Shishi bought me a lot of food on the street, I can't eat it now."
"Oh."
I nodded, but still told her two words: "You are changing your teeth now, don't go out and eat anything, lest your teeth will not look good when they grow out."
She listened, nodded earnestly, and yawned again.
"tired?"
"Well, a little tired."
"Then you sleep a bit."
"Okay." She turned to the bed and looked back at me: "Will my mother stay with me?"
I smiled: "Of course."
She just smiled happily, and revealed a few big gaps in her mouth, but it seemed like she realized it immediately, she immediately pursed her mouth, climbed to bed, lay down and covered the quilt herself I sat next to her and kissed her forehead gently: "Sleep."
"Ok……"
It seemed that she was really a bit sleepy. After lying down, she closed her eyes. After a while, her mouth opened unconsciously, she breathed for a long and even time, and fell asleep.
I sat beside her, looking at her quiet and lovely sleep, and raised my head again, looking at this somewhat quiet room.
For a long while, she smiled slightly, still patting her quilt gently as she did when she was a child.
Time passed by little by little. When I could n’t do it anymore, I stood up, my feet were a little numb, and I slowly walked out of the room and looked up. The two waitresses outside the door were careful. look at me.
I said softly, "You serve carefully, don't do the same as before."
"Dare, slaves are afraid."
I nodded and glanced back again. Lier was sleeping peacefully in bed, only the small mouth murmured, what was murmuring. I didn't think about how true or false her dream was, just sighed softly and turned to go out.
It was noon when we returned to the inner court.
Although I didn't do anything in the morning, I was a bit tired. I pushed my head open the door and looked up, but I saw Pei Yuan correct sitting at the big table in the center of the room. He heard the sound of pushing the door and turned to look I.
"You're back."
"You're back."
We both spoke at the same time, both stunned again, and immediately laughed.
He came to the door and grabbed my hand: "Where have you been all morning? I asked them and said you were not in the house."
"Oh, I'll go out."
"The scenery in this house is still good in spring. Now it's cold, don't stay outside for too long."
"Got it."
While talking, he was taken to the table while holding his hand, and he gave a command to the outside, and after a while, a few maids came in and began to make dishes on the table.
I froze slightly: "You haven't eaten yet?"
"No. I want to eat with you."
"I--"
"Don't say you have no appetite," he glanced at me slightly. "I asked, you didn't eat anything in the morning."
"I--"
I just wanted to say that I drank that zongzi soup, and my mouth couldn't eat anything, but after watching the table filled with steaming meals, I swallowed it back again, only smiling: "No appetite."
"You are not allowed to say that you have no appetite, you still said."
"..."
I was blocked by him for a moment, and before I could react, he smiled and put a piece of fish into my bowl: "Dine well."
"..." I glanced at him, after all, said nothing, and smiled slightly: "Okay."
There are only two people eating, there are not so many rules, and there is not so much to talk about. There is only the sound of chopsticks in the room for a while. I do n’t eat much, but he always stares at my bowl. As soon as I finish eating a bite, he must pick up some dishes and put them in my bowl.
I have no choice but to eat.
In this way, I eat a lot.
The waitresses retreated after serving the dishes. I don't think they would leave the inner courtyard. They were waiting outside the door, but they were quiet and did not even say a word.
I swallowed another dish and watched him pile some more in my bowl. After thinking about it, I smiled and said, "What did you do in the morning? I asked them and said you were in the Cabinet there."
"Well, talk to them."
"... Miss Zitong, are you there?"
"Also."
He paused, looked at me again, and said with a smile: "What do you ask her?"
"Uh, there is nothing to do. I wanted to talk to her before I knew she was there."
He froze slightly: "Talk to her? You talk to her, she's not to you—"
I smiled: "She has a quick temper, but she's not bad."
After that, he bowed his head and took a bite.
However, Pei Yuanxiu stopped and looked at me a little embarrassedly. I was a little uncomfortable with his eyes, raised his head to meet his eyes: "What's wrong?"
"Green baby, I think ..." He hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Although I married you, I still don't understand you."
"..."
I looked at him for a moment with a sense of inquiry, for a long while, I smiled slightly.
"Everyone is married to you, what else can I understand?"
"..."
"Let's eat."
After that, I also put chopsticks in his bowl.
He looked down at the vegetables in the bowl, looked up at me again, and immediately smiled, and then ate again.
I have eaten two bites, and I feel that my stomach is a little bit stretched, so I used the chopsticks to slowly fiddle with the last bit of rice in the bowl, and said with a smile, "What are you discussing all morning?"
