Linglong and Zhuzhu looked at each other, it seems that Miss Yu holds a lot of weight in Madam's heart! At least, surpassing Miss Cousin who has lived in Fang's family for several years. The two reminded each other with their eyes: in the future, there must be no neglect or contempt for Miss Gan!
It was Yu Xiaocao who said embarrassedly: "Godmother, I'm not a child anymore. I'd better go by myself, don't tire you out."
"How much do you weigh? I can easily carry a hundred catties of sandbags at home. With your small body, three more won't tire me!" Mrs. Fang put Xiaocao on the bed in the inner room, like taking care of a baby. Yes, take off your coat for her.
"I'll do this myself..." Yu Xiaocao took off the outer blouse with a red face, but the movement was too big, and the wound on the back was pulled, and she grinned in pain.
"You, don't be brave!" Mrs. Fang pushed her on the bed and lifted up the snow-white coat. Seeing the white to almost transparent back, a deep purple bruise is so obvious and hideous.
Not to mention Mrs. Fang's distress, even Pearl and Linglong gasped. This is so painful, if it was a little girl, she would have been crying in pain, but the young lady has been holding back the pain to tease the madam so that she won't get angry...
Mrs. Fang took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from the small medicine box she carried with her, which contained the imperial bestowed "Hua Yu San". She carefully poured the medicine into the palm of her hand, and gently covered the bruise on the slender back. Huayu powder requires a little effort to dredge the meridians and remove bruises. Mrs. Fang was afraid that the little girl would not be able to bear it, so she rubbed gently at first, and then gradually increased her hand strength.
Yu Xiaocao gasped for air at first, and soon screamed mournfully: "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... Take it easy, godmother, take it easy!"
"Be patient, if you don't use more force, the effect will not be achieved..." Mrs. Fang comforted lovingly, but the strength in her hands did not weaken at all. Yu Xiaocao continued to scream, her arms and legs were thrashing vigorously, hitting the bed board with a "dong dong" sound.
Pearl and Linglong lowered their heads, trying hard to hold back their laughter. At this time, the young lady is like a fish out of water. It's unpretentious, and quite cute.
Xia Furong clenched her molars, and looked at the screaming brat jealously. My aunt is very eccentric, when she first came to the General's Mansion, she was only seven or eight years old, the most intimate gesture of my aunt was holding hands and patting her head. But this dirty rural girl, He Dehe Neng, let her aunt hold her in her arms, and even applied medicine for her by herself! That blood stasis powder is a gift from the emperor, it is hard to find in the market, how can a cheap girl deserve such a precious thing
Yu Xiaocao didn't want this honor at all, it was just a little bruise, and when she got home, she let Xiao Butianshi blow on her back, nothing happened. Why should she suffer this living crime for nothing!
Mrs. Fang giggled, patted the little girl's restless buttocks, and said intimidatingly: "Be honest, be careful not to get knocked on your hands and feet. If you get knuckles, you will have to suffer another punishment."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaocao became honest immediately like a mechanical doll that had been cut off, but the pain from her mouth was louder than the other. Crying children have milk to eat, so she won't come to the scene of "breaking teeth and swallowing blood"!
"What's the matter, what is this?" The eldest aunt Han Shi who helped deliver the goods to the door, and Xiaocao's grandmother Yao Shi, as soon as they entered the shop, they heard Xiaocao's screams like killing a pig, and hurried over to ask. Seeing the bruise on the little girl's back, the two couldn't help feeling distressed.
The shouting in Yu Xiaocao's mouth stopped suddenly, she turned her head, gave her grandma and aunt a pale smile, and said softly: "Grandma, aunt, it's okay! I just accidentally knocked on the door, just rub some medicine and you'll be fine." — By the way, this is my godmother, from the capital!"
Yao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knew that Xiaocao recognized an official godfather, and when they heard that the other party was Xiaocao's godmother, wouldn't it be the official wife who came? Two honest women stood beside them at a loss, laughing loudly.
Mrs. Fang showed a gentle smile to the two of them, and said softly: "We will be relatives from now on, don't be so restrained."
Yu Xiaocao saw that grandma and aunt didn't know what to do, so she smiled and said: "Grandma, auntie, I don't know if Uncle Li can come over here, you can help me first, and go over after I finish applying the medicine." .”
Mrs. Han nodded and said, "It's not too busy ahead, just me and your grandma. You're injured, so let's chat with your godmother here!"
Xia Furong was full of contempt for the words and deeds of the two typical rural women - the relatives of the dead girl really couldn't get on the stage.
Yu Xiaocao's "torture" was finally over, and she spread her hands and feet on the bed and pretended to be dead. Mrs. Fang couldn't stop laughing because of her teasing, she patted her chubby buttocks, and said: "Don't make trouble, get up and put on your clothes quickly, so as not to catch a cold."
Yu Xiaocao sat up, moved her arms, and her back really didn't hurt as much as before. She dressed slowly, and asked, "Godmother, are you going to rest in the courtyard of the town later, or go back to Dongshan Village with us?"
Godfather's errand is equivalent to engineering supervision, and it will take at least three to five years to build the port, so he bought a house in the town. However, the godfather seldom lived in the house in the town, and most of them lived in the original Zhao family's yard at the foot of the West Mountain. Because it is close to Xiaocao's house, it is more convenient to eat.
Fang Fangzhen had already explained this matter to his wife in the letter. Madam Fang thought about it for a while, and then said: "Based on what I know about your godfather, he will go straight back to Dongshan Village when he comes back from Fucheng. Then I will Wait for him in Dongshan Village!"
Yu Xiaocao nodded obediently, and said: "Yes! Godfather set off for Fucheng early this morning, and he has just arrived at this moment. I guess he will have to rest in Fucheng today and come back tomorrow! Although the courtyard in the town The conditions are better, but after all, people have not lived for a long time, so it is very troublesome to clean up. Although the yard in Dongshan Village is simple, it is close to my house, and we can take care of each other. Godmother, you must be hungry after driving for such a long time ? I invite you to go to Zhenxiu Restaurant for a big meal... "
In Jingcheng Zhenxiu Restaurant, a meal costs at least a hundred and ten taels, and it is normal to eat three to five hundred taels for a meal. Mrs. Fang knew that the condition of her daughter's family was average. Although the business of the watermelon shop was good, if she could save some money, she should save some money for her own daughter.
"I heard from your godfather, Xiaocao, you have good cooking skills. Godmother wants to try your cooking." Mrs. Fang stroked the little girl's smooth and black hair, secretly praising the little girl for her beautiful hair. How did she know that half a year ago, this black hair was as dry as a stick of firewood!
Yu Xiaocao thought about the empty kitchen in the yard, because he was busy with the opening, the kitchen utensils were not fully prepared, let alone the seasoning. She bit her lip and whispered: "Godmother, there is nothing prepared in the small kitchen in the store. It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. It's almost noon, where do you want me to conjure up dishes for you? If you want to eat, I will show you my skills tonight! Let’s have lunch at the Zhenxiu Restaurant first... "
Going to the Zhenxiu Restaurant for dinner, and you still say that you can barely deal with it? If it is heard by others, this cliff is the rhythm of the fight! Because of the endless new dishes in Zhenxiu Restaurant, even the tables in the lobby have been reserved for several days. If you don’t make a reservation in advance, don’t expect to eat the delicacies of Zhenxiu Restaurant!
Xia Furong squinted her eyes, pursed her lips and snickered: A peasant girl, still wants to slap her swollen face to pretend to be fat and ask her aunt to eat at the delicacy restaurant? A table of the most common dishes at Zhenxiu Restaurant costs tens of taels of silver, and it may not be possible to earn money from selling watermelons for a day. Later, she must take the opportunity to order a few more signature dishes, so that that damn girl will feel sorry for her! Going to Zhenxiu Restaurant to eat, not to mention her, even those noble girls with eyes on the top of their heads in Beijing, such opportunities are not often available!
It was almost noon, and Xiaocao, who had been busy since before dawn, was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back. She said a few homely words to the godmother, and then accompanied the godmother to the Zhenxiu Restaurant not far away.
When passing by the store, she smiled and said to the grandma and aunt in the store: "Grandma, aunt, while there are not many customers, let's go to the opposite side to have something to eat first!"
Yao took a look at the silk and satin on Mrs. Fang's body, and her overall style. Even the two maids behind her were dressed more elegantly than them. She felt a little ashamed in her heart, and waved her hands again and again: "You accompany you to do it!" Mother, go! People are inseparable from the store, and we can just buy a couple of biscuits for a meal later!"
Xiaocao also knew that even if grandma and aunt went, she would not be able to let go of the food, so she stopped forcing her and said, "I will ask the waiter to bring some dishes over later. Grandma, aunt, roast chicken and osmanthus from Zhenxiu Restaurant The duck tastes good, try it later to see if it suits your appetite!"
"No need, no need! This is chicken and duck, how much does it cost! You don't spend money like that—I think cooking cakes are pretty good!" The aunt also disagreed with Xiaocao's spending money indiscriminately. .
They didn't know that Yu Xiaocao had never given money to eat at Zhenxiu Restaurant. How to put it, she is also a partner of the owner of Zhenxiu Restaurant, and the money earned by helping them is enough for her to eat luxurious meals for several lifetimes!
It was time to eat, and the Zhenxiu Restaurant was full of guests. A few outsiders came here admiringly, but when they learned that the tables had been reserved for three days, they walked out of the shop with a face full of disappointment.
"It seems that there are no tables left." Mrs. Fang, who was reluctant to let go of her goddaughter's little hand, lowered her head to look at Xiaocao, and said softly when she heard the disappointed talk of passers-by outsiders.
Xia Furong was also full of disappointment, and said uncontrollably: "Cousin, you don't know that Zhenxiu Restaurant can't book a table at this time, so you pretend to be generous and invite us to dinner here!"
"Fu Rong!" It's understandable that the little girl was a little bit vanity, and Mrs. Fang was not displeased by it. She was afraid that her daughter would become angry, so she hurriedly scolded her niece.
Xia Furong was even angrier in her heart, snorted displeasedly, and said: "Auntie, you are still protecting her! You see, even the second son Zhu has not booked a seat, let alone an ordinary peasant girl?"
