Hengwuyuan.
It was still dark, so Ying’er took out a cup of nourishing medicinal food from the kitchen, walked around the clusters of evergreen flowers and plants, and entered the main hall.
I was originally going to send it directly into the inner room, but was stopped by Xue Baochai.
“Let me go to the front yard to ask when you can leave.”
Today, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue made an appointment to go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, so Baochai gave this order.
“Girl, be careful, this little casserole is hot.”
Ying’er carefully handed the medicinal food to Xue Baochai’s hands, then she touched her earlobe and ran out of Hengwuyuan and rushed to Mrs. Wang’s place in the front yard.
Xue Baochai brought the medicinal food into the inner room and placed it firmly on the marble round table in the center.
When she turned around, she saw Aunt Xue still wearing a very simple dress and was drawing in front of the dressing table. She couldn’t help but say, “Mother knew that she would stew this medicinal food to nourish her body, but why wasn’t she afraid of wind and cold?”
Aunt Xue was frowning and scrutinizing the fine lines at the corners of her eyes. When she heard her daughter say this, she laughed: “The old saying is good: cover the spring and cold in autumn – Besides, your room is also very warm, where can you get wind and cold?”
Then she showed some uneasiness on her face, and she turned her plump and white body, and warned her seriously: “You must not spread the words that we mother and I said last night!”
But it turned out that Aunt Xue tossed and turned for a few days. Last night, she couldn’t help but tell her daughter what Mrs. Wang planned.
But after she finished speaking, she felt a little regretful, for fear that her daughter would accidentally leak out and cause some disaster – so this is the fifth time she has repeatedly reminded her from last night to now.
Therefore, Baochai was too lazy to respond seriously, so she stepped forward and pulled Aunt Xue up, pressed her to the medicinal meal, and used three green onion fingers to pinch the purple clay pagoda cover, took a silver spoon and stuffed it into her hand.
Aunt Xue had been used to being “controlled” by her daughter, so she didn’t think it was blamed. She scooped the soup and slurped it in small sips.
Xue Baochai took care of herself and neatly packed the clothes her mother wanted to wear today. After thinking about it, she took out more than a dozen sandalwood sticks from the box and divided half of them into a box of red sandalwood.
“This is summer, and I have sex with my sisters, so I can’t bear to use it. My mother should give it to the Bodhisattva.”
After finishing this busy work, Aunt Xue was still fighting with the little medicinal meal, and I don’t know when it will be eaten.
Seeing this, Baochai silently took the dustpan and planned to serve some needlework.
I just twisted the embroidery needle between my fingers, but I didn’t have it for a long timeA clue.
Finally, she sighed, inserted the embroidery needle into the spindle, and said quietly, “In fact, our family is not short of support from noble people now. My daughter has often thought recently that if she could marry into a family of equal territory and live a harmonious life, wouldn’t it be better to fight with Meimei Lin?”
Aunt Xue suddenly thought about it when she heard this, and hurriedly put down the spoon in her hand, turned around and asked, “Good daughter, have you… you also fell in love with Erlang of the Sun family?!”
“What are you talking nonsense!”
Xue Baochai immediately said annoyed, “Didn’t I say it long ago? That Sun’s family has a concubine’s spoiled concubine, which is really not a good match.”
As she was speaking, she heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside, and the mother and daughter quickly stopped and looked out through the curtain.
I saw Ying’er picking up the curtains and saying a crisp voice: “Madam, girl – the concubine is ready, just wait for the wife to come over.”
Aunt Xue heard this and hurriedly called Ying’er to help her dress neatly. She also brought the maid and the mother-in-law to go and meet with Mrs. Wang.
But he said that Baochai was sent to the outside of the yard until she could no longer see anyone, and then turned back to the boudoir.
I sat on the bed and thought about what I had just said, and couldn’t help but sigh again.
