Blessed

Chapter 21

Yuzhu was a little dazed after hearing these past events of the Duke's Mansion, which were no longer a secret. This was no less exciting than various dramas. It is said that it was a coincidence that Princess Jiahe fell into the pond. Why did she just fall in at that moment? Deliberately, or unintentionally but destined?

While she was thinking wildly, Bai Shao asked Bai Ji in a low voice, "Princess Jiahe fell into the pond by such a coincidence?"

"It's not such a coincidence." Bai Ji sighed twice, "It's really doomed, I can't hide it, I heard that Princess Jiahe had a crush on her at that time, because she had been fighting with the Holy One for a long time and refused to marry, she didn't want that The person you like finds her and says that she has lost her innocence and doesn't want to marry again. In the end, she can't marry Shen Guogong. Then Mrs. Liu is also a fool. She was only 19 years old at the time, and she was still the daughter of the Hou family. Even if she retired There are a lot of people asking for marriage, so why be a concubine, now the children are all lower than others."

"Perhaps I'm not reconciled." Bai Shao said, "I've been waiting for my fiancé for several years, but this kind of thing happened when I came back, and I was suppressed by the royal family. How can I be reconciled, I'm afraid she will regret it very much now."

There is really no right or wrong in this kind of thing. The face of the royal family is more important than anything else in this era. This is the right of the class. It is impossible for a princess to be a concubine. Is it the royal family who bullies others or Mrs. Liu? Horns?It's really hard to say.

After hearing this, all Yuzhuer can do is sigh. As for the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Liu controls the concubine, and whether the princess is really sick or fake, Yuzhu feels that the princess is a little cruel, and a pair of young children are left in the country like that. The Duke's government ignored her, she saw that the little princess really thought about the princess's wife, and she looked like she had never met her princess's wife, so it was pitiful.

Bai Ji was still telling Bai Shao about the anecdote of the Duke's Mansion. It was nothing more than that people in Shangjing felt that Mrs. Liu was generous. She was robbed of her marriage by the princess and raised a pair of daughters for her. It is said that Princess Jiahe is the worst princess among the princesses, and all the others have recruited concubines to give the princess mansion, a couple for a lifetime, how can she be like her, marrying a wife and competing for favor with the concubine.

Listening to Yuzhu'er falling asleep, when she wakes up, it's daylight, and she's living a comfortable life as a baby girl, and enjoying such tranquility, she's indeed lethargic, firstly, she didn't sleep much in her previous life, secondly, she still A baby will grow well if he sleeps more.

Let the maidservants wash their faces, rinse their mouths, comb their hair, apply balm, put on their clothes and sit aside, waiting for breakfast.

Mrs. Mu is very busy these days, busy with repairing the shop and looking for jewelry craftsmen, so she hardly sees her for half a day in the morning.

Yuzhu'er was hugged by licorice and sat on the couch outside the screen, only to see a white porcelain vase of longevity peaches on the dressing table, with a few golden wintersweet flowers in it.

Yuzhu'er pointed and asked, "Where did it come from?" Isn't it only in the Duke's mansion that there are such golden wintersweet flowers?
Licorice laughed and said, "The fourth girl fell asleep yesterday. Before leaving, the servant girl of the little princess came over with a bunch of wintersweet branches and gave it to the girl. She said that the girl liked it. Next time, she will go directly to the mansion to buy it. Yes."

This golden wintersweet is a rare item. Madam Liu even asked the gardener to trim the branches to minimize the number of broken branches. She even brought back a bunch of them. Madam Liu felt very distressed.

"Miss, look over there. There are still a bunch of them. I plan to send a few to each house." Licorice pointed to a pile of flower branches wrapped in silk at the door.

After thinking for a while, Yuzhu'er said, "Give some to my grandmother, elder aunt, and second aunt, and put the rest in the yard." She remembered that wintersweet can also be propagated by cuttings, but it's best when the flowers fade in spring, and she can also grow them. That's the way I think about it, I don't expect to be able to grow a living.

Licorice nodded, the little princess gave a lot of wintersweet branches, and it would be a waste to store them, so it is better to listen to the little master.

Seeing the white peony and bletilla striata carrying half of them out to give to each room, Licorice went to bring up the rice porridge boiled in the small kitchen with gold shreds and small dates, and the side dishes were brought from the big kitchen, a pile of pickled shredded radish.This is not a serious pickle, but it is shredded radish, salted and pickled in sweet and sour. The taste is a bit heavy, sweet and sour, and it tastes quite appetizing with balsamic vinegar. A mouthful of licorice, a mouthful of porridge, and a mouthful of shredded radish. little master.

Unexpectedly, the master who likes these pickled side dishes usually refuses to eat even a bite of shredded radish. When the bowl of jujube porridge is finished, the shredded radish has not been touched. Licorice asked, "Doesn't the girl like this taste?" Tried it, the taste is the same as before.

Yuzhu'er wrinkled her little nose, "It doesn't taste right." She couldn't tell what was wrong, but it was different from the shredded radish that she usually ate, and the taste had changed.

There are only a few kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits that can be eaten in winter. The silver sprouts of radish, cabbage, beans, radish and cabbage are all ripe in autumn and stored in the vegetable cellar. They can be taken out to eat when it snows.A small family like Yongyi Bo's Mansion, even if they are down and out, don't mention farming by themselves, they still have to buy all kinds of food and vegetables from outside to eat.

Licorice and Yuzhu'er didn't take it seriously, thinking that the taste was different because of the different cooking methods.

After breakfast, Yuzhu'er sat in the courtyard wearing a cloak and watched the maids blah, digging holes and inserting the remaining wintersweet branches, no more, no less, on the left and right sides of the courtyard wall, loosely and loosely. Inserted four rows, two rows on each side.

When Shen Shi's three elder brothers came out of the school and came to visit Yu Zhu'er in the yard, Jiang Po saw the wintersweet branches on both sides of the wall at a glance, and said with a smile, "Oh, where did this wintersweet come from?" She ran over and wanted to pull out a branch come out.

Yuzhu'er ran out of the wing room with her little feet, and hurriedly said, "Sixth Brother, don't allow it."

Seeing the little girl's anxious eyes widen, Jiang Po laughed loudly, "Okay, it's enough for Sixth Brother to keep going, that Jiao Jiao, come here and let Sixth Brother enjoy it."

Yuzhu coquettishly said, "Sixth brother."

Jiang Po, Jiang Xun and Jiang Jin stepped forward. Jiang Po wanted to hug Yuzhu'er, but Brother Jin was afraid that he would not be able to hold her when he was too young, so he hugged his younger sister first, "What have you done today?" The voice is clear and moist.

Jiang Jin is the eldest son of the third house at the age of eleven, following Jiang Ansu's temper, gentle and courageous.Brother Xun and Brother Pei are fraternal twins. They are only about eight years old. They look different. Brother Xun came out a few minutes earlier. He is very quiet and doesn't like to talk much. He treats this sister well but is real. Brother is the toughest of the three brothers, and he can do anything by going to the house to expose tiles and go into the water to fish for fish.

Yuzhuer told the three elder brothers what she had done today, and after a while, Pergeer took out a made-up grasshopper and handed it to her, "Brother Liu made it up, Jiaojiao will see if she likes it, play with it." Er, tomorrow, when I learn how to weave rabbits, I will weave a pair of rabbits for Jiaojiao."

Yuzhu tilted her head and thought for a while, then said Nuo Nuo, "If it's true, Sixth Brother will catch me." She was alive and kicking.

Yuzhu'er's long curled eyelashes fluttered like butterflies, trembling slightly, casting a beautiful fan shape under the eyelids, her black grape-like eyes looked moistly at Pergo, which made Pergo's heart soft, let alone Catching rabbits, if he wants the stars in the sky, he can jump up to pick them off and send them to his sister.

Dinner was eaten by several brothers and sisters together with their parents. As usual, the noodles were cooked in high soup in the small kitchen, and the dishes were brought over from the big kitchen.

Stir-fried silver sprouts with vegetables, cabbage in soup, tofu stuffed with meat.

No matter how poor the uncle's house is, there are still two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish in each meal, and the portion is large enough to feed a room.

Yuzhu'er still ate up the noodles cooked in the small kitchen, and ate some fried silver buds, but she didn't even touch the others. Mu thought the child was not feeling well, so she held her in her arms and asked, "Jiaojiaoer Why do you have a bad appetite today?"

Licorice said sadly, "Ma'am, the girl didn't even eat the shredded radish and cabbage rolls for breakfast and lunch."

Yuzhu'er said in a waxy voice, "Mother, the taste is not right." She couldn't tell, but felt that the dish had a musty smell.
