Zhu Junyang looked down at his arms that were tied so hard that they could not be bent, and from the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Yu Xiaocao's expression of secretly laughing like a little mouse, and asked lightly: "How long will it take for the master's arms to recover?" Move freely?"
Yu Xiaocao hurriedly put away her smile, and said seriously, "I've been hurt for a hundred days, no matter how effective my medicine is, it will take a month or two to recover, right?"
"Then... please take care of me during this time!" Zhu Junyang sensed something from Xiaocao's expression, but he didn't expose it, taking it for granted.
Yu Xiaocao suddenly had the feeling that she had tricked herself, like a furry cat, looked at Zhu Junyang defensively, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Zhu Junyang glanced at her indifferently, and said: "Literally! The ointment is made by you, and only you can make it. You must know the properties of the medicine best. So, for the sake of my father's arm, I will use it in the future. sorry to bother you!"
Thinking of the situation in her own home, the little county king treated her like a maid, Yu Xiaocao suddenly felt dark clouds overwhelmed her. She tried the last struggle: "Actually, I don't have any skills in applying the ointment. I just need to spread it evenly on my arms. I will bring it to you every day after I finish it. You can ask a girl or a servant to apply it for you." That's it."
Concubine Jing heard what her youngest son meant, it was a big deal to hurt his muscles and bones, and if he accidentally lost his arms, he couldn't be careless. Princess Jing took Yu Xiaocao's little hand and said earnestly: "Xiaocao, you are a good boy, please understand how a mother feels about her injured son. My Yang'er is only seventeen years old. This daughter-in-law hasn't had time to say it yet, so don't leave any root cause! This child has a hard life, when he was young... "
"Mother Concubine!" Zhu Junyang hurriedly interrupted Princess Jing, what are you talking about? Let's get straight to the point and keep people!
As she spoke, Princess Jing's phoenix eyes, which were similar to those of her youngest son, filled with tears again. She gently dipped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looked at Yu Xiaocao earnestly, and said, "For Yang'er's arm injury, I hope Xiaocao you can stay in another hospital for a while. Only you can do those ointments yourself. Only then can you rest assured!"
At this time, what Yu Xiaocao was facing was not some high-ranking concubine or concubine, but a loving mother who cared and cared for her son, and she couldn't say anything if she refused. Biting her lip, Yu Xiaocao nodded and said: "The daughter of the people will go back and tell her adoptive father and mother, and also send a letter to Dongshan Village..."
Concubine Jing was obviously relieved, she sent the steward of the outer court to Dongshan Village to deliver the message, and sent a carriage to take Yu Xiaocao back to the house in the town.
Mrs. Fang, who was packing up her things and was about to return to Beijing, heard that her goddaughter came back in the carriage of Princess Jing. She is also quite fond of it. But being sent back by Princess Jing in her carriage is such an honor, not to mention Tang Gu, even in the capital, few have such an opportunity. What "shocking" thing did Xiaocao do to win the favor of the princess
After Yu Xiaocao came in, she explained what happened. Only then did Mrs. Fang suddenly realize: it turned out that she had taken a fancy to the ointment for Xugutongjing made by Xiaocao's family! Not to mention that Yangjun Wang injured his arm to save Xiaocao's father, even with Yangjun Wang's status as Concubine Jing, she could not refuse.
Hearing that King Yang's arm would take at least a month to heal, Mrs. Fang said with a little disappointment: "Cao'er, then you can't go back to Beijing with your godfather and mother this time. Originally, I planned to borrow Lin'er The one who introduced you to relatives and friends in Beijing, who would have thought that such a thing would happen again..."
Yu Xiaocao took a look at Little Linlin who was lying on the bed with his eyes tightly closed. His pink and tender face was as delicate as an egg that had been peeled off its shell. It must have been in a dream that he was breastfeeding. He moved a few times, evoking a satisfied smile.
For this younger brother, she almost witnessed his growth and changes every day, from a red and wrinkled monkey-like little thing to a beautiful baby like an angel. Although there is no blood relationship, his affection for him is no less than that of his own siblings.
"It's okay to introduce or not. It's just a pity that I can't participate in Linlin's Hundred Days!" Yu Xiaocao gently touched the little guy's tender face. As if his sleep was disturbed, the little guy wrinkled his face in displeasure, with a look of "If you disturb my sleep again, I will cry for you".
Yu Xiaocao withdrew her hand, looked at the cute little guy with a smile, and said to him: "Although I can't participate in Little Linlin's Hundred Days, the gift sister has already prepared it!"
Mrs. Fang knew that although the Yu family had made some money, it was after all a hard-earned money. She smiled and said, "What does my family say that gifts are not gifts? You are still a child yourself!"
Yu Xiaocao took out a beautifully carved and simple small wooden box from her bosom, and after gently opening it, a shining pearl the size of a quail egg appeared in front of Mrs. Fang. Such a big and beautiful pearl is rare even for Mrs. Fang. Only the Dongzhu on the queen's crown can be compared with it, right
"Cao'er, you... where did you get such a big pearl? It's too precious, put it away quickly! This pearl is definitely a rare treasure, even if you have money, you may not have a place to buy it. You keep it for yourself. Use it as a dowry in the future!" Mrs. Fang pushed back the wooden box with a firm attitude.
Yu Xiaocao smiled nonchalantly and said, "I got this pearl by accident when I was diving at the seaside. Now that I'm good at water, if I want pearls, I can fish out a lot of them in minutes. This is Give it to my brother Lin, if it is older, it can be used as a marble."
Using a valuable pearl as a marble? Isn't it naked... showing off your wealth? Mrs. Fang was still waiting to evade, but Yu Xiaocao forced her into her hand.
Yu Xiaocao pouted, and rushed in front of the godmother and said, "Godmother, if you don't accept me, you don't treat me as one of your own!"
"Daughter-in-law, since my daughter-in-law has said so, you should accept it! If you feel owed, you can prepare more for your daughter's dowry in the future, and then give Zhang Luo ten miles of red makeup, so that that brat who doesn't know where he is now Don't dare to treat our daughter badly!" Fang Fangzhen entered the house at some point, and understood the conversation between the two girls.
Yu Xiaocao saw Mrs. Fang put away the pearls solemnly, looked at her godfather and said shamelessly, "That's right! There is a general godfather, let's see who dares to treat me badly!! My godfather's fist, but Not vegetarian!!"
Zhu Junyang, who was ordered to rest on the bed by Princess Jing, sneezed twice, frowned and whispered: "Needless to say, that girl Yu Xiaocao must be doing the choreography!"
Concubine Jing, who was at the side, worriedly asked for an extra quilt for him, fearing that he would get sick. Although it wasn't too hot in early summer, it wasn't very comfortable to cover a quilt. Zhu Junyang hurriedly rejected the concubine's kindness with the excuse that "sweating will affect wound healing".
In the following days, Yu Xiaocao lived in Princess Jing's courtyard. Concubine Jing prepared an elegant and exquisite courtyard for her as if entertaining a distinguished guest. This courtyard is not far from the courtyard where Zhu Junyang lives, and it takes less than two minutes to walk there. They also sent special girls and women to wait on them, and all the configurations were no worse than those of the ladies in Beijing.
However, in addition to cooking and changing medicines, she also had to serve the little county king three meals a day, what was going on? Wasn't she invited to be a doctor? How did she become the personal girl of the little county king
Standing by the table, Yu Xiaocao, who was holding chopsticks in her hand, looked at the little county king who was waiting for her to be fed with his mouth wide open as if waiting to be fed. She felt an urge to flip the table.
"Crystal Shrimp Buns." Seeing that he hadn't waited for the food he specified for a long time, Xiaojun Wang emphasized again, his eyes swept over Yu Xiaocao with a livid face, and he was inexplicably happy.
Yu Xiaocao glanced at the maids who usually served the Xiaojun Wang's daily life, and said displeasedly: "Xiaojun Wang, I don't seem to be your girl, right? It seems that it is not within the scope of my right to serve you?"
Zhu Junyang scanned the maids in the house with his cold eyes, those maids trembled and filed out. He withdrew his eyes in satisfaction, wrapped himself in mummy-like arms, shook them in front of Yu Xiaocao, and said, "Now there are only two of you and me in the room, and my hands were injured to save your father." , is it not too much for you to serve the master for dinner?"
Don't the gentlemen of the family all show kindness and don't expect to repay it? Xiaojun Wang, you mentioned eight times a day to save her father from being injured, is it really okay? This is the behavior of a villain who wants to repay his kindness! !
Yu Xiaocao snorted angrily and picked up a crystal bag, as if trying to choke him to death, stuffed the whole thing into the little county king's mouth.
Zhu Junyang chewed the food in his mouth with difficulty, and it took him a long time to chew it up and swallow it: "You want to murder! Porridge! I'm about to choke to death!!"
Yu Xiaocao slapped the chopsticks heavily on the table, picked up the porridge bowl, scooped a spoonful of porridge, and stuffed it into the mouth of the little princess. The porridge on the spoon spilled onto the clothes Zhu Junyang just changed in the morning.
"Your way of serving people is too unprofessional, you have to practice it!" Zhu Junyang scolded angrily.
After finally serving the old man to finish his breakfast, he opened his hands and said to the little servant girl who trusted him: "Look at the porridge you feed, it's spilled all over the place. If it was someone else, I would have beaten her long ago! Come on!" , change clothes for Grandpa!"
Yu Xiaocao couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted outside: "Who is waiting outside? Come in and change clothes for the little princess!!"
The people outside heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, and then became silent. Yu Xiaocao opened the door and rushed out to take a look. The person who was supposed to be waiting outside could not even see a ghost.
In desperation, Yu Xiaocao dug out what she thought was the ugliest dress from the closet, and put it on for the little princess. Zhu Junyang didn't like this dress either, and he had never worn it once. When he appeared in front of Princess Jing wearing this crimson purple shirt, she couldn't help showing a surprised expression.
