The weather is a bit muggy, and it looks like it's going to rain.
After entering the summer, it has not rained and the air is very dry.
Gu Jiu rubbed her cheeks, she needed hydration.
Qingmei walked into the east room with the freshly brewed health nourishing soup, "Girl, it's time to drink the medicine."
Gu Jiu sat on the couch, holding a book in his hand, and was engrossed in reading it.
She knocked on the table, "Put it on the table."
Qing Mei put the medicine bowl on the desk, then picked up the round fan to fan Gu Jiu.
"It might rain today. It's raining and the road is muddy and difficult to walk. Will the girl go to Tianmen Temple as planned tomorrow?"
Gu Jiu nodded without taking his eyes off the book, "There is little rainfall in Jinzhou, this rain won't last long. We will go to Tianmen Temple early tomorrow morning as planned."
"Your servant understands. Let's pack our luggage for going out."
"Remember to bring all your books with you."
Qingmei put down the round fan and said with a smile: "The girl loves reading more and more."
Gu Jiu smiled lightly, "Reading makes sense. This book in my hand is an unofficial history dug out from the master's study, and it taught me many things that I didn't know before."
Qingmei said: "This servant doesn't understand these things. But the way the girl reads is really pretty."
Gu Jiu looked at her, "You have also learned how to flatter."
"The servant is not flattering. The servant is sincere."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "You're sweet, I'll give you and Qingzhu all the snacks on the table, don't be disgusted."
"The girl really knows how to joke. The servant girl and Qingzhu don't have time to like it, so how could they dislike it. The little girls in the mansion envy us so much. Serving the girl by her side, they can often eat high-quality snacks. There is no such treatment elsewhere. "
Gu Jiu said, "It's fine if you don't dislike it."
When the soup became colder, Gu Jiu picked up the soup bowl and drank it in one gulp.
Qing Zhu stood at the door, "Qi report to the girl, Yan Zi asked to see, saying that there is something important to report to the girl."
Jiang Yan came to see her, could it be that Xiaohong's business is over.
Gu Jiu put down the medicine bowl and said, "Call Yanzi in."
"yes!"
After a while, Jiang Yan followed Qingzhu into the east room.
"The servant has seen the girl."
Gu Jiu looked at Jiang Yan, who hadn't seen her for a while, and became more and more calm.
Gu Jiu secretly agreed, "You said you have something important to report, what's the matter?"
Jiang Yan said cautiously: "Miss Qi, sister Xiaohong is ill, her face is covered with red rashes, which is very scary.
The servant girl was flustered, worried that sister Xiaohong would give everyone a bad breath, so she came here to ask the girl what to do. Do you want to move sister Xiaohong out of the house? "
"Since you're afraid of getting sick, why do you still come to see the girl? Just tell us."
Qingzhu was in a hurry. Hearing that Xiaohong's face was covered with rashes, she became very worried. I'm afraid that Xiaohong will catch the disease, if it infects the girl, what will happen.
The girl is inherently weak, if she is infected, the consequences will be disastrous.
Gu Jiu hurriedly said: "Xiaohong has a rash on her face, this matter should not be taken lightly. Qingzhu, you take someone to see it yourself. If it is serious, report to the steward, and let the steward lead someone to move Xiaohong out of the mansion .”
"Slave is going here."
Qingzhu left in a hurry.
Qingmei asked in a low voice: "Girl, Xiaohong's illness is okay."
Gu Jiu laughed. She looked at Jiang Yan, this girl did not know what tricks she had used to make Xiao Hong's face develop a rash.
She asked Jiang Yan, "Is Xiaohong's illness serious?"
Jiang Yan secretly glanced at Qingmei, but remained silent.
Gu Jiu said, "Don't worry about Qingmei. Qingmei is very clear about this matter."
Jiang Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Sister Qingmei is the most useful person around the girl.
"Miss Qi, Xiaohong is just allergic."
Huh
Gu Jiu was a little surprised.
She looked at Qingmei, "Qingmei, do you know that Xiaohong has allergies?"
"This servant has never heard that Xiaohong has allergies."
Qingmei and Xiaohong have been together for several years, but they never knew that Xiaohong had allergies.
Jiang Yan and Xiaohong have only been together for half a month, and they know that Xiaohong has allergies, and they can make good use of them.
That's great!
Gu Jiu nodded secretly, she really saw Jiang Yan right.
The girl Jiang Yan is by no means an idiot beauty, but she suffers from not having studied. After she can read and write, it will be even more serious.
Gu Jiu asked curiously, "What is Xiaohong allergic to?"
Jiang Yan replied in a low voice, "Sister Xiaohong is allergic to peanuts."
I see.
Gu Jiu looked at her, "How did you know that Xiaohong is allergic to peanuts?"
Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, then said cautiously: "These days, the servant girl eats and lives with Sister Xiaohong. Several times, I saw her pick out the peanuts.
When the servant asked her, she only said that she didn't like peanuts. However, the servant girl found something strange in her words, so she took a chance to try her, and found out that she was allergic to peanuts. "
"Then you took advantage of her peanut allergy and made her sick?"
Jiang Yan nodded slightly, "Exactly. The maidservant grinds peanuts into powder, mixes them in flour, and makes cakes. Sister Xiaohong is greedy, and she suffered from allergies after eating two extra pieces."
Gu Jiu asked: "Will there be any fear of life?"
Jiang Yan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, girl, the slaves are controlling the weight. Sister Xiaohong will definitely not be in danger. It's just that the rash on her face will take at least ten and a half months to disappear."
Gu Jiu nodded.
There was noise outside.
Gu Jiu ordered: "Qingmei, go and have a look."
"yes!"
Qingmei went out for a while, and came back soon.
"Miss Qi, the woman in charge came and ordered someone to move Xiao Hong out. Xiao Hong held on to the bed frame and refused to let go, but the woman in charge scolded her. Several women worked together to carry Xiao Hong out. "
Gu Jiu stood up, walked to the window, and looked out.
The maids all ran out of the room, watching Xiaohong nervously being carried out by the wives.
Everyone whispered, very disturbed. Worried about being overwhelmed.
Gu Jiu said to Qingmei: "Remember to appease everyone's emotions, don't forget about business just because Xiaohong is sick. In addition, promote one of the little girls to fill Xiaohong's vacancy."
Qingmei took the order, "I will arrange it in a while."
Gu Jiu said again: "When Xiaohong recovers from her illness, it's fine if she doesn't come to find her. If she comes, do you know how to answer her?"
Qingmei nodded, "This servant knows."
Gu Jiu nodded reassuringly, waved her hand, and let Qing Mei go to work.
Jiang Yan felt a little uneasy.
Gu Jiu sat back on the couch and looked at Jiang Yan with a calm expression, "I heard that you and the servant girl Guo Taohua are from the same town?"
Jiang Yan was surprised, but still nodded honestly, "The servant girl and Taohua are in the next village, separated by a river."
Gu Jiu said in a casual tone: "Since we are from the same hometown, if we have the opportunity, we should see each other more."
Jiang Yan understood, bowed and said: "Your servant understands. This servant will have more contact with Taohua."
Gu Jiu nodded in satisfaction, "Tomorrow morning, I will go to Tianmen Temple to pay homage to my late mother. You stay in the mansion, go see Xiaohong when you have time, and tell her to recuperate well and don't worry about errands. Do you understand?"
"The servant understands."
Gu Jiu took out a thin booklet from a stack of books, "Take this enlightenment book back first, and copy the words on it when you have time. When I come back from Tianmen Temple, I will teach you how to read and write."
Jiang Yan was overjoyed, "Thank you, girl. The servant will definitely do all the errands well, and will not disappoint the girl's trust."
