Farmer's daughter is also self-improvement

Chapter 218
Yan Ziyan thought for a while, and said, "Give me the orchid, princess!" Li Shasha took out a bottle of orchid from the box and handed it to her. She took the glass bottle and looked at it for a long time. It was indeed something she had never seen before. bottle, and pulled out the cork again, and a faint fragrance of orchids lingered in her nose.

Li Shasha did a demonstration and asked her to put some perfume behind her ears and on her wrists. Yan Ziyan was very happy to get this orchid perfume, so she started chatting with Li Shasha.One of the two of them wanted to know Yan Zixi's situation wholeheartedly, and the other wanted to curry favor with each other, and the more they chatted, the closer they got.

Asked and asked, and sure enough, some things came out.It turned out that since Yan Zixi returned to Beijing, he had gone to Jiang Xiahou to search for a deadly medicine introduction in southern Xinjiang. Jiang Xiahou was injured by the poisonous arrows of the barbarians in southern Xinjiang because of his early battles in southern Xinjiang, but the poison was difficult to cure. The imperial physicians in the imperial hospital tried their best to suppress the poison, but it must occur once a year at the turn of spring and summer.

Three years ago, a traveling doctor saw Lord Hou and said that the curare poison could be cured, but it only needed to be induced blindly. It was a unique tree frog in southern Xinjiang, with yellow and red patterns on its back. The skin is ground into powder and added to the medicine he prescribed to get rid of the residual poison.So after Yan Zixi returned to Beijing, he went to southern Xinjiang to look for that strange tree frog. He didn't know what he encountered, and he hasn't seen him since.

Li Shasha couldn't help sighing, this kind of thing, after all, should be the elder brother's job!Unexpectedly, Yan Ziyan actually said: "Originally, I should let the elder brother go. I don't know that mother is worried about elder brother, saying that it is too dangerous. The second brother has no choice but to take the initiative. Who knows that the second brother said to go, mother." But he clapped his hands and said yes, but he didn't know that it would be dangerous for the eldest brother to go, so wouldn't it be dangerous for the second brother to go?" It was rare for this person to say such clear words, and Li Shasha immediately felt that she was going to look at her with admiration.It's just that Yan Zixi is too pitiful, how can there be such a mother who doesn't love her children.

The two chatted for a while, and those ladies who went to tie their blessing belts also turned around.Feng Wanfang arranged for the maids and women to set the table and serve the dishes.After all, there is a lot of power, and after a while, four tables were opened on the second floor.Delicious delicacies, delicacies from mountains and seas, everything is available, and Li Shasha also felt that it was too extravagant, but she couldn't stop her from trying new chopsticks, because she was afraid that people would laugh at her that she had never eaten it before, so she was still very careful when eating.

The ladies had dinner on the second floor, and the maids serving in front of them were also invited down by the maids of the Earl's Mansion, and set up a few tables in a yard outside the attic.Li Shasha left Mama Rong to sit with her. She didn't choose the chief, she just took the second seat.Although the young ladies at the table saw her leading a mother to sit down and stared straight at her, she didn't seem to see it.Those ladies flew for a long time without seeing each other responding to them, and then remembered that they took the perfume of more than 100 taels a bottle, so they couldn't care about it any more.

After dinner, Li Shasha didn't want to stay here any longer, so she had to leave.Unexpectedly, Feng Wanfang grabbed her and said, "Don't run away, my sister-in-law has something to do with you!" Li Shasha asked her to hold her back, so she could only watch her see off her guests.

After a while, Tang Zhirun, the cousin of Concubine Tang Shu's family, came over accompanied by Yan Ziyan. She saw a strange little girl standing beside Feng Wanfang. mean.This person smiled when they met, pulled Feng Wanfang and pointed to Li Shasha and asked, "Sister Fang, who is such a delicate lady?" With that curious look in his eyes, he could only vaguely introduce: "This is Princess Nan'an!"

Tang Zhirun came to understand a little bit, it turned out to be the younger sister of the Pingnanhou family who made his father drop three levels in a row.But even so, she said without changing her expression, "It turns out to be the princess!" Li Shasha had no choice but to return a half-respect: "Miss Tang, you are polite!" Finally, it was no longer the same gentle smile, but the astonishment was fleeting, and he immediately returned to his virtuous, chaste and quiet appearance.Li Shasha understood that this Miss Tang was much stronger than that Concubine Tang Shu. At least this unobtrusive personality was not something that ordinary comrades could achieve.

After seeing off almost all the guests, Mrs. Shizi finally came.She took Li Shasha to her yard, sat down in the main room, and immediately collapsed on the kang like a puddle of mud.Li Shasha said with a smile: "Aunt Dai, you have not set an example in front of Sister Sha!" Mrs. Shizi laughed and said, "Sister Sha, just let Aunt Dai go. I just stood there all the time, exhausting all the strength in my body, but I don’t have the strength to do anything else.”

Li Shasha pretended to be angry and said: "Let Sister Sha just watch Aunt Dai rest!" Mrs. Shizi said helplessly: "Wait a little longer, I want to recharge my batteries!" After thinking about it, Li Shasha also had to admire that noble ladies in this era are not so easy to do.

Mrs. Shizi shouted out of the window: "Come here!" A personal maid of Mrs. Shizi came in, squatted on the ground and gave a blessing: "Greetings to Mrs. Shizi! What do you want?" Mrs. Shizi waved her hand: "Go Bring me the rosewood box from the closet in the back room!" The maid answered yes and entered the back room.After a while, he took out a one-foot-square red sandalwood box, and held it to Mrs. Shizi with both hands.

She took the box and took out something from it.Li Shasha took a closer look, and it turned out to be a high-quality mutton fat jade pendant with the word "Fu" engraved on it.Mrs. Shizi said with a smile: "Sister Sha, although this jade pendant is not worth a lot of money, it was consecrated by Master Yiwu, the abbot of the Jade Buddha Temple in Beijing. This Master Wu is famous in our Great Chu Dynasty. Eminent monk, you won’t be able to meet those who are idle. Aunt Dai’s consecrated jade pendant is also a blessing from several lifetimes of cultivation, now, I’m giving it to Sister Sha, so that you can also enjoy this blessing!” After saying that, she put her hand Hand over the jade pendant to Li Shasha.

Hearing what she said, Li Shasha was still willing to reach out to pick it up, but shook her head: "Aunt Dai, sister Sha dare not take such a valuable thing, put it away quickly! I will not dare to come to your house in the future!" After all, he gave her an angry look.

Mrs. Shizi knew that she felt that she couldn't take the favor of others, so she persuaded: "I saw your jewelry today, and I know that you don't like it. I just think that there will be some evil spirits after you can be blessed. I have to go around you. Aunt Dai is selfish, we, Sister Sha, are well, and the two shops are good!" After finishing speaking, he stuffed the jade pendant into her hand and stared at her. Eyes said: "Don't be polite anymore, or I won't want the gift you gave me today!" Li Shasha couldn't resist her, thinking that she really wanted to give something to herself, so she had to put it away. Only then did I have a smile.

After returning to the mansion, Li Shasha went to the Anle Hall, and Lei Guozhen was there with Da Mao and Er Mao.Li Shasha told the whole story of going to the Earl's Mansion. Lei Guozhen heard that the second young master Yan who helped his family so much turned out to be the second son of Jiang Xiahou's family, so she said to Li Shasha: "Now that I know about it People, don't we have to visit people's houses for a while, and we have to send some gifts over there!"

Li Shasha nodded: "If not, I will send perfume to his sister today, but their family's situation is a bit complicated, we still have to take a look. How can Mrs. Hou do this? It's dangerous for the eldest son to say it, but for the second son Just go and say it’s okay. At this moment, the second son can’t see anyone alive or dead, and he didn’t see their family looking for it. It’s better to take the money from me and go to Nanjiang to look for it.” Lei Guozhen also felt strange when he heard the words, but My own family can't take care of so many other people's housework.

I only heard Li Shasha continue to say: "Mother, I didn't tell you, Zhaocai said that when Master Hou was not unconscious, everything in the Hou Mansion was under the care of the second young master. , the young master took over all the business, and also sent out those who were better with the second young master. This is how the shopkeeper Qin and Master Cai were driven out of Zui Taibai, who followed the second young master like Zhaocai, Just work in a place far away. It sounds like usurping power, but they are all born by a mother, is it necessary to make such a fuss?"

When Lei Guozhen heard this, she felt like a heavenly book. The children in her family might say that they loved her son a little bit, and she definitely would not treat her daughter like that. She also felt that Mrs. Hou's behavior was a bit weird.

Mother Rong said from the side: "From this point of view, it is estimated that the second young master is not Mrs. Hou's own." Li Shasha also felt reasonable after hearing this, and she would only be willing if she was not her own.She went on to say: "Mother Rong is right, mother, let's have a look before we talk about it!" Zheng Shi also said beside him: "It is indeed the case, thanks to the second young master, let's return the second young master to attract money Once we find the second young master, we can pay back whatever we want." Lei Guozhen also felt that this was the only way to go.

Li Shasha talked to her grandmother and mother for a long time, but she didn't see her father and brother, so she asked where they went.Lei Guozhen replied: "Your father is going to work in the official department for the first time today, and he will definitely treat the superior and his colleagues to dinner at noon. Your brother and your uncle and grandpa don't know where they went. You just left, and they I went out. You have been tired for a long time, go back to your yard and rest!" Li Shasha suddenly remembered the jade pendant that Mrs. Shizi gave her, and showed it to Mrs. Zheng and Lei Guozhen.Mrs. Zheng blamed her a little: "How can you accept such an expensive gift from others?" Li Shasha said with a smile: "The value is the second, but this was consecrated by the abbot of the Jade Buddha Temple. Give it to someone who does this job." Zheng Shi and Lei Guozhen were speechless.
