Chapter 394: Recent Events in the City
The play on the stage sang a few pieces in a humming voice, and the sky gradually darkened. Lights were lit in the garden, a tent was set up, and tables were placed there, and the feast was set here.

After the show, the troupe was invited to the front for dinner. The garden became quiet, with only the sounds of the two families eating and chatting.

Mrs. Hong wanted to win over Shi Liu, so she never stopped chatting and laughing during the meal. She was a person who loved to talk and gossip, and she knew everything about the goings-on in the city.

"Have you heard? There is a strange person in this city, her name is Hong Gu, and it is said that she knows a secret method of fitness." She started the conversation.

"Secret fitness method? This is quite new. Mother-in-law, please tell me in detail." Wang was full of curiosity.

Pomegranate listened and couldn't help but look sideways.

Seeing Shi Liu looking over with interest, Mrs. Hong smiled. She knew that every woman is gossipy.

She said slowly: "This Hong Gu, I don't know where she learned this secret method, which can actually help people lose weight. You know that the grandmother of the Hu family gave birth to a child last year? But I ran into her in the silver shop a few days ago, and her whole body shape didn't look like someone who had given birth to a child!

And her cousin, Miss He from the Fu Ji Silk Shop, who has been obese since she was a child, you all know her, right? When I went to the silk shop that day and saw her, she was not fat anymore! She just looked a little plumper than usual, not like before! She looked like a little girl! I believe that after some time, Miss He will be slim and graceful!
The two cousins ​​have changed a lot. I was curious, so I asked more questions. Grandma Hu told me without hiding anything. She asked Hong Gu to help her with fitness! Whether you have given birth or are fat and want to lose weight, you can’t go wrong by asking Hong Gu! "

"Oh my, is it really so magical? I've seen the girl from the He family before. She was as fat as a dumpling and had difficulty walking. This is really unbelievable." Wang was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

"Who says it's not? I heard that Hong Gu's secret method is not to make the girl suffer by dieting, but to use some unique movements and conditioning methods, step by step, to make the girl from the He family lose weight. Moreover, I heard that the fee charged by Hong Gu for teaching this fitness method is reasonable. It is charged by course, and a complete course cycle is three months. The fee is two hundred taels of silver. If the girl doesn't lose weight, she won't be charged a penny." Mrs. Hong described it vividly.

"Willn't this Hong Gu be famous in the city? I'm sure there will be many people coming to her to ask her to teach her the secret method." Mrs. Hong couldn't help but respond and subconsciously touched her belly.

She just got pregnant, and when she gives birth, should she ask Hong Gu to help her take care of her body? After all, although she has gained less weight on her belly after giving birth to Bao Wen, as a woman, who doesn't want to keep her figure the same?

Mrs. Hong nodded: "That's right. I heard that many families have sent people to inquire and want to invite Hong Gu to their homes for advice. For example, the grandmothers of the Zhang family and the Liu family, whom we know -"

Wang frowned, "But I don't know if this secret method is really effective. Is it just a rumor?"

"Whether it's true or not, there are always people willing to give it a try. If you can really lose weight and keep your figure, it's a good thing. Which woman wouldn't envy you?" Mrs. Hong said with a smile, "I'm also at this age, otherwise I would definitely invite this Hong Gu into my house."

As she spoke, she glanced at her daughter-in-law Meng and said, "However, when Hui'er's wife gives birth to another child, we must invite her. I have already asked around. To find Aunt Hong, go to the fourth house in Si Tiao Hutong!"

Mrs. Hong touched her belly and kept it in mind.

Ding Fengye's wife, Ye, heard this and said, "Four alleys? I'll ask someone to go there tomorrow."

She was already seven months pregnant and was about to give birth. Mrs. Hong nodded and said, "You have to hurry up. I heard that many people invite Hong Gu to come."

Seeing that her daughter-in-law seemed interested, Wang Shi didn't want to say much. If she said too much, her daughter-in-law might think that she was not happy with her.

However, this method of fitness and slimming to maintain a good figure was the first time she had heard of it. She couldn't help but whisper to Shi Liu who was sitting next to her: "Shi Liu, have you heard of this Hong Gu fitness method?"

Shi Liu, who had been listening to the whole process, was also surprised. As for the secret fitness methods that help postpartum women maintain their figure, unless there were other time travelers here, she couldn't think of anyone more professional than Fan Jin.

Could it be that this Hong Gu was the person pushed forward by Fan Jin?
A three-month course costs two hundred taels of silver, which is quite a lot of money. You can keep yourself in shape by spending only two hundred taels of silver. Which beauty-loving woman wouldn't want to do that?
Hearing Wang's question, Shi Liu's eyes flickered slightly, and then she said, "I have heard something about it. Don't worry, stepmother, I guarantee he is not a liar."

Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. She was afraid that this was a liar. Her adopted daughter was close to the Liu family in the capital and knew more information than them. If she said she was not a liar, she would be relieved.

After the feast, it was already late, so Mrs. Hong and her mother-in-law were sent out. As for Shi Liu, she was kept by Wang, who said that since she seldom came home, she could stay at home, and the two of them could talk for a while.

The yard where Shi Liu lived in the Ding family had always been reserved for her, and on weekdays there was a maid responsible for taking care of the yard.

Shi Liunan came to stay once, and the two maids were very happy to see her. They were busy serving her, leaving Fu Dong with no place to show his or her abilities.

Shi Liu's wardrobe here is also filled with clothes, all of which are prepared for her by Wang according to the season, so she has something to wear whenever she comes, and she doesn't need to bring extra clothes.

After taking a comfortable bath, Shi Liu ate a bowl of rice dumplings made with glutinous rice wine brought by her maid Sui Lu. They were sweet and warmed her heart.

Hearing that it was Sui Lu who made it herself, Shi Liu smiled and praised her craftsmanship and asked Fu Dong to see it and appreciate it.

Fudong took off a purse from his waist and put it in Suilu's hand.

Sui Lu took the purse and was flattered. She said hurriedly, "Miss, if you like it, I will make it for you later. Thank you for the reward!"

She and Shi Hong were assigned by the lady to take care of this courtyard. In fact, they were there to serve the young lady. It was a pity that the young lady did not live in the mansion all the time and seldom came to stay. But the young lady was a good person and easy to serve. She and Shi Hong often discussed in private that it would be great if the young lady could live in the mansion all the time, or if they could stay with the young lady more often.

They are in the Ding family, and they know how much the master values ​​the girl. Besides, being able to serve the girl is an excellent way out.

But the girl already has a personal maid to serve her, so they can't have any unrealistic thoughts. They just want to serve the girl well every time she comes to stay with them. What if the girl sees how good they are and is willing to let them serve her closely?

Look, didn't the girl praise her for the delicious rice dumplings made with fermented glutinous rice tonight? She even gave her a reward!
