After seeing Aunt Lin and the third young master coming in, Yaohong's complexion changed slightly, and she hurriedly left after saluting.
Suyu hurriedly served tea to Aunt Lin and the third young master.
"Si Niang, seeing that you are fine, Auntie is relieved. Mother Chen, bring me the century-old ginseng and the best bird's nest." Aunt Lin looked at Ruan Xi's face and saw that she seemed to be really serious. It's okay, I really let go of my heart.
Last night, when she heard that Siniang almost couldn't make it through, she was very worried and couldn't sleep.
Once something happened to Si Niang, Madam would definitely take the opportunity to attack her.
Mother Chen behind Aunt Lin immediately brought the two boxes over.
Ruan Xi was secretly surprised, 100-year-old ginseng... Aunt Lin is really willing.
It seems that Aunt Lin's net worth is quite rich.
Ruan Xi hurriedly got up and bowed slightly to Aunt Lin, with a grateful expression on her face: "Thank you for your concern, Auntie, the doctor came earlier and said that it will be fine when you wake up."
"It's just that the 100-year-old ginseng is too expensive, so I can't accept it."
Aunt Lin held Ruan Xi's hand and said gently, "No matter how precious your life is, it's not as valuable as your life. If it wasn't for Min'er's mischievousness, you wouldn't have suffered such a crime."
After hearing what Aunt Lin said, Ruan Xi didn't refuse anymore, and asked Suyu to take over what Aunt Lin had given her.
Aunt Lin nodded in satisfaction, and pulled her aggrieved and silent son who was hiding behind her.
"Min'er, why don't you come over and apologize to Si Niang."
The always mischievous little chubby is as cute as a cat by Aunt Lin's side.
"Fourth sister, I... I was wrong." The little fat pier walked up to Ruan Xi, and bowed his head to apologize.
Ruan Xi generously accepted Xiaopangdun's apology. Xiaopangdun was just an inducement, besides, he was unintentional, and the original owner's death had other secrets behind it.
Someone took the opportunity to destroy or remove the original owner.
Aunt Lin said some caring words and left with Xiaopangdun.
Not long after Aunt Lin left, the confidant mother beside the aunt arrived late, bringing her care and condolences, as well as a bunch of nourishing medicinal herbs, and finally let her recuperate in the yard.
Aunts from other courtyards also sent people to visit and show concern.
It was the first time that Chengxin Garden was so lively.
In the past, the original owner didn't get such treatment when he was sick, but he enjoyed it after getting engaged to Wen Tingzhou.
Ruan Xi smiled wryly in his heart, the original owner's clumsiness was meaningless.
No matter how ordinary she behaved, her aunt would be shocked.
The aunt seems to be generous, and now I'm afraid she can't make it through last night.
It was noon in the blink of an eye, and Ruan Xi was a little tired, so he ate two pieces of snacks to rest his stomach.
Seeing this, Suyu hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring the minced meat porridge cooked by the cook for Ruan Xi, and sent Suzhu, who had just returned, to the big kitchen to get lunch and the nourishing chicken soup that his wife asked the cook to prepare.
Ruan Xi took the opportunity to close his eyes and meditate.
The lunch is rich and delicate, with three meat dishes and one vegetarian dish. The aroma of the meat is tangy, and there is also steaming nourishing chicken soup, which fills the room with fragrance.
Ruan Xi ate a bowl of minced meat porridge and some snacks in the morning, and now he smelled the rich aroma of meat and his stomach started to growl.
Ruan Xi's eyes flickered when he saw one of the plates of braised pig's trotters in braised sauce on the table.
"Miss, the steward of the kitchen said that Madam has spoken. From now on, Miss's meals will be prepared according to today's standard." Su Zhu happily told Ruan Xi the great news.
Su Yu also smiled.
On weekdays, Miss Li's meal consists of only one meat dish, two vegetarian dishes and one vegetable soup.
Now that the salary has been raised so high all of a sudden, Suyu and Suzhu feel that the young lady's good life is coming.
Ruan Xi looked at the two maidservants who were ignorant and unaware of her aunt's sinister thoughts, and sighed silently.
The three meat dishes on the table, braised pork trotters, braised fish, and fried chicken drumsticks, were all very greasy meat dishes, shiny with oil, and even the vegetarian dishes put a lot of sesame oil.
There is a layer of oil on the nourishing chicken soup, which should be specially selected fat chicken stew.
This is the rhythm of the aunt's mother who is spending all her money to increase her appetite and grow into a big fat man before she gets married.
No matter how beautiful a person is, once he becomes fat, he will not be beautiful again.
My aunt's approach is aboveboard, imagine which fourteen-year-old girl can resist such a delicious meat dish.
The original owner has been detained in the backyard, just like the original owner's maid, who has no understanding of medicine, and does not know the tricks hidden in the diet, so it is easy to catch the truth.
Ruan Xi is different. Because of her congenital heart disease, she pays great attention to health preservation and diet, and has also obtained a nutritionist certificate.
"Suyu, keep the braised fish and take down the remaining two meat dishes. I'll reward you."
Ruan Xi ordered decisively, and then explained to them the tricky diet, both Suyu and Suzhu were frightened.
"Don't be too nervous. It's okay to eat a little at ordinary times. You can't eat it often. Eating too much greasy fish and meat is not good for your health."
Ruan Xi smiled, and started to have lunch. Sincerely, the chef in the uncle's house is very good at cooking. As for the chicken soup, Ruan Xi used a spoon to skim off the oily layer of the nourishing chicken soup before drinking it.
A meal is very satisfying.
Seeing the calm young lady, Suyu and Suzhu felt relieved, and enjoyed a delicious meal of meat and vegetables, their mouths full of greasy food.
main courtyard
Mrs. Sincerity Mrs. Zhang listened to Gao Mama's report on the situation of Chengxin Garden.
"Madam, the head of the kitchen has prepared meals for Miss Fourth according to your instructions."
Mrs. Zhang smiled with satisfaction.
"Si Niang is now Mr. Wen's fiancée, so the treatment must keep up. By the way, the monthly rate will also increase."
Do it all.
Ning'er and Dalang still need to take advantage of the Wen family's influence, especially Ning'er, her fiancé is useless, and Ning'er will have to suffer a lot when she gets married.
Mrs. Zhang supports her daughter's repentance of the marriage. She has always complained about the marriage that her uncle made for her daughter. Originally, the old lady had already let go, but Ning'er repented before the battle. She still insisted on asking her to marry Si Niang. Zhang's son-in-law almost vomited blood out of breath.
I'm afraid Ning'er is not stupid.
Later, she was so tortured that she had no choice but to tell Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites about this matter. At first, she thought that the other party would look down on a little concubine, but she agreed.
The remorse in Mrs. Zhang's heart, she knew that she should not agree to her daughter, but now it is too late to regret it.
Yesterday Si Niang accidentally contracted a cold, she couldn't help but take action, and was caught by the old lady this morning and taught her a lesson.
The old lady eats fast and prays to Buddha on weekdays, but she never expected to pay attention to her every move.
Mrs. Zhang could only vent her anger on Si Niang. With the old lady staring at her, she didn't come in the dark, but directly used her methods brightly.
If Siniang can't even see through this little trick, the old lady must be very disappointed.
Gao Mama smiled knowingly, and said: "Madam is merciful, Fourth Miss has a aunt like you, it is really a high incense in her previous life."
Mrs. Zhang was in a good mood, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea. Mama Sun next to her was always uncomfortable with the flattering Mama Gao, so she frowned and mentioned another matter.
"Ma'am, we have news from Aunt Lin's side that Aunt Lin sent a century-old ginseng to Miss Fourth."
She was very sensible and didn't say that the third lady also gave the fourth lady a high-quality ginseng less than a century old.
Mrs. Zhang's face changed slightly when she heard the words, her good mood disappeared without a trace, the veins on the back of her hand holding the teacup were exposed, she gritted her teeth and scolded.
"You bastard Lin!"
Centuries-old ginseng, she doesn't even have much in her hands. How can a daughter of a down-and-out scholar in the Lin family have such a good thing, it must be a gift from her uncle.
Seeing how generous Lin is, he must have many good things in his hands.
Seeing that Madam Gao was angry, she gave Mama Sun a hard look.
"Ma'am, calm down. Aunt Lin is just a concubine. She is just taking advantage of her favor to get more things. Your status cannot be shaken. This great sincerity will be inherited by the young master you gave birth to in the future."
"Gao Mama, did you forget that Aunt Lin has three young masters under her knees, who will share the property of the uncle's house in the future." Mama Sun reminded.
"The third young master is only a six-year-old child, nothing to worry about, who knows if he will have a chance to grow up." Gao Mama sneered.
"Mother Gao, it seems that you didn't understand what I meant. It is not difficult to protect the third young master from growing up safely with Aunt Lin's scheming methods. Good Fourth Miss, pave the way for Third Young Master." Mama Sun pointed out Aunt Lin's purpose straight to the point.
Mama Gao was speechless, and blurted out in an instant.
"I heard that the third lady also sent a ginseng less than a hundred years old to the fourth lady."
Mama Sun scolded the idiot secretly.
At this time, it even added fuel to the fire.
Zhang's complexion instantly darkened, very scary.
A needle could be heard in the room, and several confidant maids quickly held their breath, shrinking their sense of existence.
With a slap, the teacup in Mrs. Zhang's hand fell to the ground, and she said angrily, "Go, call Ning'er over."
"Yes, ma'am!"
Mother Sun responded quickly, then turned and left.
…
Chengxin Garden
Ruan Xi didn't know what happened after he accepted the two ginsengs.
After the afternoon nap, Ruan Xiping retreated Suyu and Suzhu, and quietly familiarized and practiced the various etiquette learned by the original owner in the room.
It is not easy to cultivate a noble girl, these are things she has never been in contact with, only her memory has not been practiced, Ruan Xi is not at ease.
Only what you have mastered and learned is truly your own.
Her golden finger is only familiar with the plot, which is all written around the heroine, and it doesn't help her much.
Ruan Xi tried his best to make various etiquette postures in front of the bronze mirror according to the memory of the original owner.
From being unskilled and uncoordinated at the beginning, I gradually regained my body's instincts...
"Sure enough, it's exactly what I thought. Fortunately, I didn't rely too much on the original owner's memory."
Ruan Xi wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose with a handkerchief, and showed a relaxed smile.
"Etiquette has been passed, but it still needs more practice."
In Ruan Xi's mind, the female teacher who taught her etiquette, her elegant manners and speech, her decent smile, and Aunt Lin's demeanor... made her more motivated to fight.
Suyu and Suzhu, who were guarding the door outside the house, took a basket of needlework and sat on a low stool to embroider purses.
Su Yu had just finished embroidering a purse, when she raised her head, she saw a handsome young man in brocade robes walking slowly into Chengxin Garden not far away with a servant.
Suyu was shocked, and couldn't help rubbing her eyes, for fear that she had misjudged the person, and it was really the young master who was studying in Qingshan Academy, one of the four major academies.
