Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 115 Steward Zhou's Request (Roll for Pink!)
Mu Ai straightened her clothes and hair, and opened the door on the vernal equinox to welcome a man who looked like a butler. The man saluted her respectfully. He claimed to be Zhou Li, the chief housekeeper of Mr. Zhou's mansion, and came here on the orders of Mr. Zhou. New Year's gift.

Although the two servants who came in behind him each brought up a medium wooden box at this time.Zhou Li opened the lid of the box with his own hands, revealing the twelve cosmetic boxes inside, and then said with a smile, "Madam Xian, our master said that these twelve cosmetic boxes are a New Year gift according to your request. And the two outside The big box was made by him in his spare time, and he specially added some small mechanisms. I hope you can figure it out for yourself. It’s fun. If there are any wooden utensils you want to buy, he can make them for you in the future, but you need to get some Good food is the wage.”

Mu Ai was amused by the old man's childish temper. This old child likes those fresh foods and just send someone to ask for them. He even took such a big turn and used a box with traps to whet her appetite.Immediately ordered Chun Equinox to pack a few more boxes of snacks and candies prepared at home and bring them back to him.

Steward Zhou bowed to thank him, and when he saw Guo Huai coming over to invite him to have a drink, he thought about it and then flipped up his robe, but then fell down on his knees, Guo Huai was taken aback, knowing that he still had something to say, and hurriedly Take two steps back.

Mu Ai didn't know what he meant, she frowned slightly, and asked, "Butler Zhou still has something to say, don't be so polite, get up and answer."

Zhou Li bowed his head deeply, and then said, "Mrs. Immortal, this old slave really has a private matter, and I want to ask my wife for help. When this old slave came, I never asked my master for instructions. There is really no other way, so I asked so presumptuously." Come to Madam, I hope Madam will forgive me."

Mu Ai nodded, Mr. Zhou presided over the construction of the house, and did his best, but he didn't get any money in the end. He only asked for the fire kang and geothermal heat, thinking that the people in the world would no longer have to suffer from the cold.This selfless spirit has always been admired by her. Thinking about it, the villain is a villain.It is impossible for the old servant of such a benevolent old man to have any bad intentions.In addition, she couldn't see the white-haired old man kneeling in the middle of the ground, and quickly motioned to Guo Huai to help him up.

Steward Zhou stabilized his mind with a grateful face, and then said what he asked for. It turned out that his family had been passed down for five generations, and he only had one son when he came to him in the middle age. Very happy.A few days ago, my little grandson got a strange disease and couldn't poop.In fact, strictly speaking, constipation is not a serious illness. Anyone who has a big problem or a small love is easy to get this problem when he gets angry, but it is a bit unbearable to put it on a four-year-old child. The child cries every day. He kept arguing endlessly, his little face was flushed from holding back, not to mention how pitiful he was.I went to a doctor to check the pulse, and said that the internal fire was too strong, and I talked about a lot of terms such as yin meridian and yang meridian, and finally concluded that the child is too young, if the medicine is taken rashly, it will hurt the body, it is better to drink some light salt water.

The family heard that it was so simple, so they implemented it immediately. Unfortunately, it was useless for the child to drink almost two large bowls. Later, someone gave a folk prescription, squeezed juice from tender gourds and drank it (purely fictional, don’t take it seriously.) The effect is good .The whole family had no choice, if it was summer, it would be fine, nowhere could I find a tender gourd, but this is a winter day when the door is closed by heavy snow, where can I find the tender gourd.

When everyone is helpless, they will take the risk of asking the doctor to prescribe the medicine.It just so happened that the New Year gift from Muai's mansion had arrived, and everything else was fine, those few boxes of green vegetables made him hopeful again.Now, taking the opportunity of sending back gifts, I want to ask for a tender gourd to take back, so as to relieve the pain of my little grandson.

If it was before, Mu Ai would never give out something as eye-catching as fresh vegetables, except for Xiao Mansion and Wei Mansion, and of course Steward Zhou would not ask for it.However, her purpose now is to attract the attention of those who are interested. Although there are no powerful figures in Mr. Zhou's place, his disciples and grandchildren are all over the surrounding cities. As long as the fresh vegetables are on the table, such a novelty will be known to everyone within a few days. Don't misunderstand that only women gossip. In fact, sometimes men are more eager to gossip than women when they drink alcohol.

Mu Ai collected her thoughts, with a slightly distressed expression on her face, she said, "Housekeeper Zhou, there is no shortage of fresh vegetables in our house, but we have never grown young gourds. I'm afraid we will disappoint you."

Steward Zhou was very disappointed, and smiled wryly in his heart. He was also dizzy in a moment of anxiety. The poor people planted a few gourds to make some household items such as water ladles for autumn ripeness. I don't know how to plant such useless gourds.Just about to salute and leave, I heard Mu Ai say, "However, Steward Zhou, I have also diagnosed and treated two children's diseases in the past few months. I am not proficient in children's affairs, but I have some experience. If Steward Zhou can trust us, we There is a novel food in the family, which may relieve the other grandson's illness. Of course, I dare not say that it will work, but it will definitely not harm the child's body."

Butler Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard this, the master of his family admired this fairy lady very much, except that he was silent for a quarter of an hour when he received the annual gift yesterday, and he was uncharacteristically letting everyone watch curiously.In the past, he was the only one to handle any food or supplies sent by her here, and the children were not allowed to visit.

Now Mrs. Xian said that there is something to relieve the pain of the little grandson, so she would not deceive him, and she was overjoyed at the moment, so she knelt down and kowtowed, and Mu Ai quickly helped her up.

Tell Chun Equinox to go back to the house to take out the small jar of space honey she usually drinks, and hand it to Butler Zhou, and tell him to get up early every day, wash a spoonful with warm water and give the child an empty stomach. It should take less than two days will work.

Steward Zhou faintly smelled the sweet fragrance in the jar, and knew that it was definitely not an ordinary thing, so he kowtowed three times gratefully.He resolutely resigned the reward from Mu Ai, carefully held Xiao Guan'er in his arms, and followed Guo Huai down to drink.

After dinner, the little girls were dismissed, Simba was put to sleep, and only the maidservants of spring, summer, autumn and winter were left in the house, so Mu Ai took out the two boxes again, and put the makeup boxes on the table at the spring equinox and summer solstice. Mu Ai took one and looked at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, the old man's craftsmanship is really not fake.

A makeup box made of mahogany material and painted with brown-red varnish is divided into five layers. The first layer is the lid, on which is carved a Ruyi peony, with luxuriant branches and leaves, full of spring.There is a piece of living wood on the edge of the box cover. When she opens it lightly, she can easily insert the prepared small mirror, and then put it back into the living wood. In wooden frame.

There is also a wooden board with a hidden button. If you don't want people to find the mirror, you can buckle the wooden board and it will be an ordinary makeup box cover.The second, third, fourth and fifth floors are all inlaid with rotating shafts, which can be easily separated to the left and right. It is very convenient and flexible to not have to take off the upper layers just because you want to get the things on the fifth floor.Each floor has spaces of different sizes, for combs, bracelets, and hairpins. It’s like a well-organized small warehouse. After closing several floors, use a small delicate lock on the lid to separate them. , Pull out the key and carry it with you, beautiful and safe.

Several people in the spring equinox surrounded the surroundings, and let out some sighs of admiration while watching.

Mu Ai smiled slightly, and took out another 11 yuan mirror that had been prepared earlier.This mirror was a large dressing mirror that she had attached to the door of her dorm when she was in college. After graduation, all the girls in the same dormitory went to other places. She was the only one who stayed in this city, so the mirror moved with her to the rented hut. thrown into space.

When she went to the city at Xiao’s Silver House, she painted the mirror with a layer of ink, supervised the jade craftsmen on the spot, and cut it into small mirrors of the same size for 12 yuan with diamonds.

The girls happily started to work together, and they were all set in a short time.

Mu Ai picked out the four makeup boxes with patterns of winter jasmine, lotus, osmanthus and plum blossoms, and picked out four sets of gold jewelry from the two boxes brought in from the warehouse, and put them in respectively.Then it was pushed in front of the four girls, their faces flushed with excitement, but they all knelt down and said they dare not take it.They all knew that this makeup box might be imitated by a skilled craftsman, but this mirror that illuminates every detail is a priceless treasure, and this is not something that maidservants like them can enjoy.

"Take it all. I said I'll give it to you. It's for you. Be careful not to break it. It's good to pass it on to your daughter-in-law as a family heirloom when you get old. I don't know if someone will make a mirror in the future." , but for the time being, in a few decades, our Hundred Flowers Country will only cost 12 yuan. You have been with me for almost two years and do your best. At the end of the year, apart from rewards, I will give you this makeup box and jewelry Take care of yourself.” Mu Ai helped them up, and stuffed the makeup boxes into their arms one by one, watching them knelt down and thanked them again.

Only then did he wave his hand to collect the remaining seven, leaving only the Ruyi Peony, and happily reversed the jewelry in his old makeup box.Seeing some anxious looks in the eyes of the girls, knowing that they were also anxious to go back and tinker with their little jewelry, so she smiled and told them to go to rest.

She began to study the two wooden boxes with this mechanism again, they were made of ordinary fir wood, the corners of the eight boxes were covered with brass, and the lock was also a squatting tiger made of brass, with a ring in its mouth It is lock nose, the workmanship is very delicate, even the beard and toes can be seen clearly.

However, she looked at it for almost half an hour and didn't find any mechanism. Later, she simply moved it to the table for a closer look and found some clues.

At the bottom of the box more than an inch high, there was a very thin horizontal line. She tried to break the brass corners on both sides to the two sides, and she easily pulled out the interlayer. There are some small grids between the wooden strips, presumably they are prepared to put some jewelry and money.
