121, the sweet soup presented by the maid
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Gu's mansion. Amidst the courteousness of the servants, Gu Qianxue got out of the carriage and entered the gate, followed by Yulian and Yucui.
Yu Cui walked a little slowly, pouted, "Miss, these iron wheels..."
"Pulley." Gu Qianxue corrected patiently.
"Okay, these pulleys, what's the use of us bringing them back? We heard that the Xueyuan doesn't have hanging beams, and they still take up space." Yucui complained, because she was holding the heavy pulleys.
"Since King Li appeared when the faucet was being tested, maybe he also saw it when the water tower was installed. He is about to go on a business trip to the west and must bring a lot of things. Miss Ben has a premonition that he is eyeing my things. " Gu Qianxue said harshly.
"Even if your premonition comes true, Miss, if His Highness King Ruoli really wants the pulleys, he will order the craftsmen to rush to make them. After all, the blueprints are still in the service department. Miss, what's the use of bringing all the pulleys back?" Yu Cui Still can't figure this out.
Yulian smiled and said, "Sister, let me get it."
"No, no, my sister's injury is worse than mine, and she is still seriously ill, how can I let my sister take it?" Yu Cui hurriedly said, "Don't worry, it's really not serious, but I just think Miss can't think about it."
Gu Qianxue snorted coldly, "If he really wants it, he will order someone to rush to make it, but he is absolutely not allowed to take my things." After a pause, "And I have a hunch that this guy must be thinking about my pulley."
"Why?" Yucui was puzzled.
"Because he is the kind of character who is dedicated to making things difficult for others." Gu Qianxue felt extremely happy when imagining that King Li could not get the pulley.
"Yes." The two agreed.
Peony Court.
When all the servants saw Gu Qianxue coming in, they hurriedly put down their work and paid their respects.
"Get up, how is Madam today?" Mrs. Zhao is one of the people Gu Qianxue cares about most in this world.
Nanny Li, who was serving her personally, walked out of the room quickly, "My servant greets the eldest lady. If you return to the eldest lady, the lady is better today. In the morning, Ping'er sent a bag of fruit, named Hongzhenguo, which is a specialty of their hometown. , make a sweet soup with red rare fruit and rock sugar, it's sweet and sour, Madam loves it very much." As he spoke, he accompanied Gu Qianxue to the room.
"Red precious fruit?" Gu Qianxue was taken aback, and entered the door, with the curtain drawn by a maid.
"Yes." Nanny Li seemed to be asking for credit, "The fruit is sour, small, and not very beautiful on the surface. It tastes so sour, but it is very appetizing when boiled into a sweet soup. Madam drank it in the morning. One bowl, I didn’t vomit so much this morning, and I even ate a piece of sweet cake.”
"Really?" Gu Qianxue was overjoyed, no matter what, just stop vomiting.
"Really, it's true." Nanny Li smiled with an old face.
Sad to say, ever since Mrs. Zhao was diagnosed to be pregnant with a boy, severe embarrassment followed. How serious is it? There seem to be only two things to do every day, sleeping and vomiting.
Since she became pregnant, Zhao shi was extremely lethargic, sleeping for almost ten of the twelve hours a day, so that every time Gu Qianxue came to visit her, she could only see her sleeping face. For the other two hours, he was vomiting, even if he barely drank some ginseng soup and other supplements, he would definitely vomit after a while.
I don't know if it's the effect of the sweet red fruit soup, but when Gu Qianxue arrived, Mrs. Zhao was not asleep, lying on the bed, fiddling with the little clothes in her hands.
"My cutest, beautiful, generous and kind-hearted daughter, you're back?" Seeing Gu Qianxue's arrival, Mrs. Zhao was overjoyed, lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed.
"Slow down, don't come down." Gu Qianxue stopped immediately.
It stands to reason that pregnant women should move around more, which is good for the health of the fetus, but Zhao's misfortune is really serious, Gu Qianxue dare not let Zhao make any mistakes, and can only secretly hope that after three months, in the second trimester, Zhao's situation Can be improved.
"Sit down, and I'll sit on your bed too." Gu Qianxue smiled, sat down beside Zhao Shi, and reached out to touch Zhao Shi's cheek in distress.
Zhao's skin is still fair and delicate, but due to the continuous vomiting, his complexion is extremely bad, not to mention a lot thinner, and his two eyes are deeply sunken, making his black eyes bigger and deeper.
"I heard that you drank the sweet red fruit soup today, how did it taste?" Gu Qianxue found a topic, chatted with Mrs. Zhao, picked up the small clothes and looked through them, and found it extremely cute.
"It's delicious. It's sour and appetizing. I'll have someone cook it. It will be delivered in a while. Let's drink it together." Mrs. Zhao took her daughter's hand.
Gu Qianxue couldn't laugh or cry, "You are the one who is pregnant, not me, what should I drink?"
Mrs. Zhao pouted, "Delicious things should naturally be reserved for my beautiful, lovely, generous and gentle daughter."
Because of Mrs. Zhao, because of this concern and love, Gu Qianxue's heart was actually filled with happiness, and the anger in Prince Li's mansion during the day quickly dissipated.
"I don't drink it, you can drink it yourself. If you like it later, I will order someone to go to Pinger's hometown to buy more." Gu Qianxue said.
While the two were talking, a petite maidservant with a sharp face came forward holding a tray. On the tray was an exquisite stewing pot, and a sour-sweet fragrance wafted indistinctly.
The tip of Gu Qianxue's nose moved, her brows frowned slightly, and then she regained her composure.
"I'll do it." She took the tray with her own hands, put the tray on the table, then held the stew pot, turned her head to several maids and said, "You all go down, I'll take care of mother, just leave Nanny Li alone. .”
"Yes." All the maids exited respectfully.
"Xue'er, try it quickly, it's delicious!" Mrs. Zhao was so greedy, she licked her lips and let her daughter eat first.
Nanny Li at the side was also very happy.
In contrast, only Gu Qianxue looked indifferent.
She opened the lid, looked carefully at the pink crystal clear soup, and then lowered her head to smell it.
"Miss, is there something wrong?" After all, Nanny Li is an old man, and she has seen a lot of pickling in the backyard. She is afraid that Mrs. Zhao will be drugged, so she is very careful on weekdays, especially when eating.
Gu Qianxue asked, "Madam Li, if a woman in Beijing is pregnant, what do she usually eat to prevent nausea?"
Nanny Li didn't understand the reason why Miss Wen asked, so she answered honestly. "Candied fruit."
"Don't eat red precious fruit?" Gu Qianxue said in a calm voice, as if she was thinking about something extremely serious.
Nanny Li didn't dare to slack off, "Miss Hui, the hongzhen fruit is a wild fruit in the country, girls in the city don't eat it, everyone uses candied fruit, is there something wrong with this hongzhen fruit?"
Gu Qianxue looked up at Nanny Li, stopped her from continuing to ask questions with her eyes, then her face changed, and she smiled and asked Mrs. Zhao softly, "Mother, why do you like this sweet soup?"
Zhao said, "Because it's sweet and sour. I've also eaten candied fruit, but I still don't think it's sour enough."
Gu Qianxue understood, and nodded, "I see." As she said that, she lowered her head and drank the sweet red fruit soup. She drank more than half of the cup in one sip, and there was only a bottom of the sweet soup in the stew pot. "Mother, I'm sorry, I accidentally drank too much." Saying that, he returned the stew pot to Mrs. Zhao.
