I have squeezed out the marrow of the world and separated its children, all for my own enjoyment.
Yan Shifan, who believed in this, had no idea what kind of opponent his ordinary behavior today had brought him.
In short, on this sunny afternoon, on the temple path, three spirited young men walked together, clapped their hands and made a vow.
When Zhu Ping'an and the other two were ambitious because they were locked out of the mountain by Yan Shifan and were not allowed to enjoy themselves, there was a different scene in the backyard of Linhuai Marquis' Mansion.
In the courtyard where Li Shu was, maids were busy coming and going, holding exquisite porcelain basins filled with steaming beef. Under the instructions of several old maids, they added carefully prepared salt, flavorings and other things, and then went in and out of the room in an orderly manner.
The second, third and sixth young ladies of the Marquis' Mansion were visiting the fourth young lady's yard, which was right next to Li Shu's yard. At this moment, the young ladies were basking in the sun in the fourth young lady's yard, listening to the movements in Li Shu's yard next door, with very rich expressions on their faces.
"Oh, it turns out that Fifth Sister uses Niu Nai for bathing." The Sixth Miss of the Marquis's Mansion raised her innocent and cute little round face and spoke in surprise, with her little canine teeth showing, looking very innocent.
"Yes, I thought Fifth Sister bought a few cows yesterday for some reason, but it turns out she wanted to have a cow bath. Fifth Sister really knows how to enjoy life." The Second Miss of the Marquis's Mansion said softly, holding a handkerchief in her slender hands and slightly covering the corners of her lips.
"Really? I heard that the beauties in the palace like to add beef noodle soup when taking a bath, but none of them buy a few cows and use fresh beef noodle soup for bathing like my fifth sister." The fourth lady of the Marquis' Mansion also interjected.
"Just a nouveau riche." The third young lady of the Marquis's Mansion stared at the yard next door with red eyes and flicked her handkerchief in disdain.
"Hehe~ I see Fifth Sister's skin is as white as snow. Is it because of the Niu Nai Bath? Why don't we try it too?" Miss Wu of the Marquis's Mansion blinked her eyes and suggested with great interest.
"Hehe, my monthly salary is not enough to wash it several times. I'll forget it." The fourth lady of the Marquis' Mansion shook her head slightly.
The birth mother of the fourth young lady of the Marquis's mansion was originally a maidservant of the wife of the Marquis of Linhuai. She was not outstanding in appearance. One day, the Marquis of Linhuai mistook her for the wife of the Marquis of Linhuai after getting drunk, and pressed her on the couch to do something good. Unexpectedly, her belly was full, and she became pregnant and miscarried the fourth young lady. How could the wife of the Marquis of Linhuai be happy that the maidservant beside her climbed into the bed? She always made things difficult for her. The Marquis of Linhuai did not care much about her because she was not beautiful. It was only because she was pregnant that she was made a concubine. Her father did not love her, her mother did not love her, and she was not favored by the old lady, so the fourth young lady had no other income except the monthly salary. Even the monthly salary was often deducted, so the fourth young lady did not have much money.
"I don't want it. It's a beastly thing. It's full of fishy smell. Only my fifth brother-in-law, a country bumpkin who is used to herding cattle and feeding horses, would like it! Only the northern barbarians like to use it. I..." The third lady of the Marquis's Mansion shook her head firmly and mocked Li Shu and Zhu Ping'an with words.
"The rose petals are here. Hey, are they fresh?"
Just as the Third Miss of the Marquis's Mansion was making sarcastic remarks, she heard a little maid's startled voice coming from the next yard.
Fresh rose petals
The sarcasm of the third young lady of the Marquis's Mansion was interrupted upon hearing this. Rose petals, Niu Nai is nothing. As young ladies of the Marquis's Mansion, if they want to take a Niu Nai bath, they will do it. It doesn't cost much. But this rose petal is different.
Roses usually bloom in May and June, and can only be preserved for about ten days after blooming. In ancient times, unlike modern times, factors such as light, temperature, and water can be artificially controlled to allow them to bloom all year round. In the Ming Dynasty, fresh rose petals were available in early spring, which meant that the roses had to be stored in precious ice when they bloomed in May and June.
After all this trouble, the price is not cheap.
In the courtyard of the fourth young lady of the Marquis's Mansion, several young ladies were staring at the wall of the next courtyard, as if they were staring at it to the point of staring flowers out of it.
A beautiful woman bathing always makes people imagine.
This was especially true when Li Shu was bathing, but the only ones who could appreciate this beautiful scene were the maids such as Baozi.
An elaborately designed antique wooden bathtub, a delicate beauty with skin as white as snow, a layer of rose petals emitting spring colors, and a bucket of fragrant and carefully prepared ox bath soup.
The Oxnai bath is not just a simple rubbing of the Oxnai. Instead, it requires adding an appropriate amount of warm water, carefully prepared salt, essence and other substances, and the Oxnai is also treated to remove the odor. There are many steps.
There was a maid who added the prepared beef in the wooden barrel, and another maid who added hot water to keep the water temperature. The maidservant was behind Li Shu, massaging gently and talking to her with her puffy face.
"My uncle went to Wenyuan Pavilion first and ordered nine dishes, a soup and a small jar of wine. My uncle only drank two glasses. My uncle paid the bill."
"After going downstairs, my uncle and his friends went to Henian Hall to look at the plaque. My uncle seemed very interested in the plaque and looked at it for a long time."
Li Shu lay lazily in the bathtub, enjoying the service of the maids, listening to the chubby little maid's mumbling, nodding occasionally. Then when the chubby little maid saw the lady nod, she became more energetic, and her chubby-faced mumbling became more energetic.
"But, my uncle and his friends left suddenly again. I heard from Brother Wang that the Heniantang seemed to be opened by some prime minister, and my uncle and his friends seemed to dislike it very much."
Li Shu was also very interested in listening to the little maid Baozi's straightforward and diary-like narration.
"Then, the uncle and his friends walked forward again. Not long after they walked, they met a woman who sold herself to save her father. The uncle and his friends also surrounded her."
When Li Shu heard this, she had been resting with her eyes closed, but suddenly opened her eyes.
"The son-in-law walked to the front and asked a few questions. Then he went to Henian Hall again. After a while, he came back and gave the woman twenty taels of silver." When the little maid Baozi said this, she couldn't help but pouting her lips. Twenty taels of silver seemed to hurt a little.
Li Shu was a little nervous when she heard this, but she didn't show it on her face. She asked casually, "What about you?"
"Then the young master turned around and left." The little maid replied after hearing the young lady's question.
Oh, he turned around and left. That stinky toad was sensible. Li Shu relaxed when she heard that.
"But that woman is so shameless. She chased after him and asked for my name and address. She wasn't even shy about saying that she wants to be my slave and serve me." The chubby little maid said indignantly, puffing her lips.
"Miss, do you know what your uncle said?" The chubby little maid couldn't help but ask with a smile.
Li Shu heard the laughter in the voice of the little maid, and the worry that had just arisen in her mind was put down in an instant. The fact that this stupid girl could laugh meant that the shameless little bitch did not succeed.
"What do you mean?" Li Shu curled the corners of her lips slightly.
"Hehe, son-in-law, you said that now that the money has been paid, don't worry about it anymore." As the little maidservant Baozi spoke, she couldn't help laughing, as if she could see the woman's deflated expression.
"He is very generous. He wasted 20 taels of silver in vain." Li Shu curled her lips, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. (To be continued...)
