green bamboo dream

It was extremely cold in the capital city in early February, and the dripping water outside had turned into ice, but the steaming clean room was as warm as spring. Four or five maidservants in warm yellow narrow-sleeved jackets were waiting outside holding tightly-fitting water urns with lids. Time, ready to go in and add water at any time. 【26nbsp;】

After a while, the door opened halfway, and Hua Ruo, who was wearing a pink embroidered double-breasted jacket, leaned out from the inside and waved, and the little maids carefully entered the door with water jars in their arms.

Facing him was the bright red agate bead curtain, which shone with a red halo, "Hurry up, the water is getting cold." Hua Ruo urged softly, leading the little maids into the innermost part.The large cedar wooden bathtub exudes a faint fragrance under the soaking in hot water, and the lingering clouds and mist rise from it like a fairy palace like a veil.Sitting in the water was a slender figure, with jet-black hair falling on the exquisite and translucent snowy body, the simple color difference revealed a thrilling charm.

Hua Ruo carefully stretched his hand in to stir the water flow, so as not to let the hot water that had just entered scald the young lady, while persuading the young lady, "Let's get up after soaking for a while, or the skin will wrinkle."

Yuzhu moved her hands flexibly under the water, feeling the smoothness of the warm clear water with the fragrance of plum blossoms passing through her fingers, and said with a flattering smile, "Hua Ruo, I'll be up soon."

After playing with the water, Yuzhu obediently was helped to climb out of the tub, Zaoyuan and Qinsi wiped off the water on her body carefully with a clean cotton towel.

"I asked why the aroma of plum blossoms is so strong in this room. It turns out that the plum blossoms are blooming." Yu Zhu had put the unopened plum branches in the bathroom earlier, and used the hot and humid steam in the bathroom to fumigate them so that the flower buds would bloom earlier. Opening up, I was just trying it out, and I didn't hold out much hope, but the effect was good if I didn't expect it.

Hua Ruo was twisting her hair with a handkerchief, and she couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "Miss is also a little impatient, wait for another half a month, and the plum blossoms in the plum garden will not be full yet."

"At that time, plum blossoms were things that could be seen everywhere, so they are not as precious as they are now, even if they are used as gifts now." Yuzhu closed her eyes, letting Yinlian take the sweet almond oil they made themselves bit by bit Apply it on your face, and gently massage to help absorb it. Enjoy the soft, slippery and moist feeling on your face. You will feel satisfied immediately. The effect of this almond oil is really good. Although it is difficult to do, it is good for face and body excellent.

Qinsi helped Yu Zhu change into the warm undershirt, and guessed: "Miss is planning to give it to Miss Yumei, is it possible that Miss wants to attend the full moon ceremony?"

The maids in the room couldn't help but stop their work when they heard the words. It stands to reason that Miss Yumei's son was born, so they should go and see, but the Wu family is not even an official family after all...

Yu Zhu showed a depressed wry smile. Since the last assassination incident, she who loves to stay at home has become less fond of going out. Every time Cui takes her to the monastery to pray for blessings, she spends a long time talking and coaxing her. It's a lie, don't mention that I went to participate in a boudoir and hurt my cousin, who wants to go out in the cold spring weather.

"It's not a question of whether you want to go or not." Yu Zhu muttered with fingers: "The eldest aunt, the second aunt, the mother and the fourth aunt are all going, except for sister Hongdou who has already married into the palace and who is in the Yongchang Hou's mansion. Sister Yulan doesn’t have time, and everyone else who can go can’t be absent, after all, it’s the first child born to a married girl from the Lin family.” Taking a sip of the warm goat’s milk casually, Yu Zhu felt disdainful, Why don't you have time, one is a side concubine and the other is a concubine's daughter-in-law, which is naturally "harder" than ordinary daughter-in-laws, so how can they go out casually.Thinking of the recent news, Yu Zhu couldn't help but gloat. I heard that the eldest concubine of the Runan Palace is a powerful character. She won the favor of the princess of Runan within a few months after entering the house after the national funeral, and coaxed the princess to treat him like her own. Like a daughter, she handed over the housekeeping power to her early on, and how Hongdou's side concubine's identity has always been a thorn in her heart. The only thing left is the love of the prince, but the love of a man is probably one of the few things in this world that are more fragile than paper. The external water, fire, tearing, pollution, and the aging and brittle inside, everything can be easily Yu Zhu wanted to see what would happen to this fellow time traveler who had spent so much time planning and marrying into her happy home.

"Qin Si." Yu Zhu took a deep breath.

"Ok?"

"The straps on the back of you are so tight that I can't breathe."

Qin Si glanced sideways, and a smile appeared in her eyes, she smiled at Hua Ruo: "It's all your fault, Miss has grown up, why is this apron still the same as before?"

Hua Ruo really thought that the job he was doing was not good, so he hurriedly put down the incense in his hand and came over to have a look. As soon as his eyes touched the curve of Yu Zhu's chest, he knew what was going on, "Hey, why do you say that, it should be Mama Ruan. **Wrong, who asked her to stew soybean and pork knuckle soup for Miss every now and then."

Now even the maid who came in to tidy up the bathtub couldn't help laughing, and Yuzhu herself looked down, um, it's not bad that she has developed like this at the age of 15, and she doesn't bother to pay attention to those laughing and shy people. The maid walked out of the clean room with her head held high, and of course she did not forget to take away the bottle of plum blossoms with a dark fragrance.

When they arrived at Cui's main room, the little maid who opened the curtain didn't let her in after a salute.When I entered the door, I saw Wu Ya overwhelming half of the people in the room, Yu Zhu took a look, and there were many familiar faces, but they looked much more respectful than before.

When Cui saw her slim daughter walking slowly, she couldn't help showing a comfortable smile, and her cold eyebrows softened. "Why don't you bring a hand stove when you come here in the cold weather, and how do the maids serve you?" Cui hurriedly touched Yu Zhu's hand, the tentacles were warm and soft, and then she felt relieved.

"How can she be so delicate? My daughter is in good health." What I said was the truth. In this era, medical conditions are limited to drinking medicine and acupuncture. How can you not do it if you don't take good care of your body? Mother Ruan is really a treasure, especially for health-preserving recipes. Proficient, under her careful conditioning, even the slight chills before have disappeared.

The mother in charge standing below, the daughters-in-law in charge everywhere, and the daughters-in-law of Zhuangtou have long been familiar with it. The wife's doting on the second girl is really great, especially Cui's confidants and the mothers-in-charge. Over the years, they have seen the means of the second girl, the survival of the fittest, the competition for jobs, and the strong support of their wives. The stable life of people like themselves is coming to an end. There are so many covetous people behind, especially those who are often ridiculed Another wave of bullying mothers who are in charge are trying their best to squeeze in. They can only work hard, and they dare not make much money, for fear that they will be picked up by competitors and stabbed to their wives. By the way, everyone lost a lot of weight.

Yuzhu put the white-glazed vase with gourd pattern in her hand on the five-legged round flower table with yellow pear surface, and sat quietly listening to the report of a Zhuangtou daughter-in-law. Since Yulan got married, the sick Aunt Sun Not long after, Mrs. Cui took advantage of Mrs. Zou's guilt to solve Qinglu. From then on, the mansion was peaceful and happy, and Mrs. Cui poured all her blood into teaching her daughter how to control her. People, cooking Zhuangzi, and shops are all extremely important things to learn.

Cui looked at the plum blossoms on the table, then looked at her daughter's quiet and elegant side face, which was as bright as a flower bud, and slowly evoked a happy smile.

Originally, things were almost done, and after a few more daughters-in-law from shops outside, Cui let them go, and was going to have some thoughtful words with her daughter.

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Seeing a slender woman in plain clothes standing below, Cui was suddenly a little displeased.

"Madam, I beg Madam to save the maidservant's daughter." The woman seemed terrified, but she still spoke out firmly. Yu Zhu noticed that her body under the official green cloth jacket was trembling slightly, so she pressed Cui Shi hand, whispered: "Mother, listen to what happened."

Cui nodded helplessly on the tip of Yuzhu's nose, looked at the woman kneeling below and said, "What's the matter, just tell me if you have anything to say."

The daughter-in-law swallowed, didn't dare to lift her head, and just fell on the ground to answer.It may be that she was a little emotional, and her words were a little confused. Yu Zhu listened attentively, and the general meaning was this: The daughter-in-law of the Zhuangtou's wife is called Shuangxi, and she married a poor scholar. day.But the scholar looked at the words of the sage, he was gentle and polite, but he could only write a few sour poems in terms of ability. The family's expenses are all supported by Shuangxi's dowry. She does needlework to help her husband save money bit by bit, bears children for him, and sells all the jewelry in the dowry to buy a few acres of land... Last year's child test The smoke from the ancestral grave of the scholar's family actually won him the prize. Before Shuangxi was happy, the poor man wanted to take a concubine for a few days. Shuangxi refused, so he was beaten and scolded day and night, and threatened to be divorced because of jealousy. I had to let the concubine's room in...

Yu Zhu sighed, how a peasant woman who was tired of making a living all day could compare to a delicate and clever concubine, the result can be guessed.

"The daughter of the servant girl asked someone to send a letter half a month ago, saying that the scholar planned to force her to death to marry the daughter of a rich man in the town..." The daughter-in-law was sobbing at this point, she only kowtowed desperately, "I beg my wife to save the slave girl Daughter, the slaves and the head of the house have visited several times, but they haven't seen my double happiness, and I don't know if it's... dead or alive."

"Where is your son-in-law a scholar?" Cui frowned after listening, sighed slowly, and asked.

"It's Ding Xiucai from the Ding Family Village behind our Zhuangzi. There is only one scholar in the village, and everyone in the neighborhood knows about it." The woman said anxiously, for fear that Cui Shi would not care if it was too late.
