The kitchen was in full swing and a banquet was prepared. Specially, a medicinal meal was prepared for Su Rong.
Su Rong looked at the chicken, duck, fish and delicacies placed in front of everyone. In front of her was a bowl of medicated porridge and a few medicated dishes that smelled like medicine. Her face was so bitter that she wrinkled up and couldn't think about it for a long time.
Move the chopsticks.
The eldest lady looked at her and laughed angrily, "It's like asking you to take poison. Because of that piece of shit Zhang Ping's rebellion, the imperial court prepared for war, and all the supplies were shipped out, causing various rice shops, medicinal materials shops, etc. in Beijing.
Military supplies have increased. These medicinal materials are so expensive now. No matter how much you despise it, you have to eat it. How dare you waste it on me?"
Su Rong sighed, "Mother, don't you think it's too cruel to me?"
"Why are you so cruel?" The eldest lady glared, "Is it cruel to ask you to take medicated food to take good care of your body? Don't you know that the medicated food in front of you is more expensive than the food on our table?"
Su Rong expressed her appeal, "But I haven't eaten meat for a long time and I can't eat anything good even if I eat and sleep outside. Chicken, duck, and fish are also very nourishing. They are 10,000 times more delicious than medicinal diet."
The eldest lady couldn't help but wonder, "How long has it been since you last eaten meat?"
"At least a month." Su Rong lied without changing her expression.
"Really? Fengling." The eldest lady turned to ask Fengling.
Fengling resisted his sister's pressure and nodded, "Yes, Auntie. My sister and I don't even have time to roast a wild rabbit."
This was a shameful thing to say, as they roasted several rabbits along the way.
The eldest lady suddenly couldn't bear it anymore.
The eldest lady felt sorry for her younger sister, "Mom, you can eat medicinal food. Let Seventh Sister eat less. Try other things too."
The second young lady agreed, "Yes, mother, let's eat delicious food, and she takes medicinal food. No one can eat it if it's on her."
Several other ladies also nodded, "Seven sisters are so pitiful. Let us all help share some of the medicated diet, especially mother. You also need supplements. The doctor said when he left that this medicated diet recipe is nourishing."
This prescription is used for deficiency of Qi and blood. No matter what, it can only be taken by Qimei alone."
The eldest lady couldn't stand everyone's persuasion, "Okay."
She ordered the servants who were waiting on her to "divide the seventh lady's medicinal food into eight parts, no, nine parts. Fengling also wants to eat it."
Fengling: "..."
He regretted helping Su Rong lie. There were so many delicious foods and he didn't want to take medicinal food.
But if he said it out loud, he would have no way to change his words, otherwise his image and integrity would be lost in front of the eldest lady and the six young ladies.
Therefore, during this meal, everyone shared half a bowl of medicated porridge and half a plate of various medicated dishes, which greatly relieved Su Rong's pressure.
Su Rong was very happy after eating. She no longer complained or looked bitter. She said to the eldest lady sweetly: "Mother, you and your sisters really love me."
The eldest lady was not angry, "It's good that you know."
This little thing, ever since he stopped being angry with her, has always been good at being sweet and sweet, always making her feel soft.
After dinner, the ladies all went back to their respective courtyards. The eldest lady pulled Su Rong and refused to let her go back, but wanted her to live with her. Apparently she missed her a lot.
Su Rong was very resistant because the eldest lady's sleeping posture was too bad.
The eldest lady assured, "Don't worry, I have specially practiced my sleeping position to ensure that I will sleep like a piece of wood and not disturb you."
Su Rong compromised, "Okay! Then you keep your word."
The eldest lady gave her a "don't worry" look.
So, after taking a bath, the two women lay on the same bed. Su Rong discovered what was a good sleeping position. It turned out that there was a pillow in the middle of the big bed, which separated them.
Fortunately, the bed is big enough and they are not fat.
Su Rong was dumbfounded, "Mother, it turns out that your sleeping posture is so good, is this the way you practiced it?"
"I promise not to exceed the limit. Whatever happens before going to bed, the pillow will still be in the same position when you wake up in the morning." The eldest lady promised again and again, "You can sleep peacefully."
Su Rong felt that she could believe it, so she lay down with peace of mind.
In the middle of the night, she was woken up three times by the eldest lady stretching out her leg to press her down, and twice by being swung by her arm and hitting her. The pillow placed in the middle could not change the eldest lady's overstepping of boundaries, nor could it change her natural habit of sleeping.
posture.
Su Rong vaguely lamented more than once during the night that it was not easy for her father. She must have married those aunts just to be able to sleep well at night. After all, the lovable point of the eldest lady was that she never made it difficult for women to be jealous, and she also
She would not dominate her husband and never let him go. If she was the only wife in the Su family, then his father would have no reason not to sleep with his wife. After all, such a lovely eldest lady, who would want to deliberately find reasons to quarrel with her every day and treat her coldly?
Instead, she went to sleep alone in the study room. What's more, her father was not the one who would wrong her. By letting a bunch of lovely women in, the problem was solved.
The eldest wife had a good night's sleep because her daughter slept with her. When she woke up in the morning, she didn't move. She opened her eyes to see if she had crossed the line. She found that her sleeping posture was good, even a little upright, and the pillows were placed well.
, in the original position without moving at all, she was satisfied. Seeing that Su Rong was still asleep, she quietly got up and got out of bed.
Su Rong slept until three o'clock in the morning. When she woke up, she stretched herself, got dressed, got out of bed and washed herself.
Hearing the movement in the house, the eldest lady came in from the outside and said, "I can really sleep. I missed breakfast, and also missed a meal of soup and medicine. I can't do this tomorrow. I must take medicine on time. I think you just came back yesterday.
I know you are very tired from the journey, so I won’t talk about you anymore.”
Su Rong did not refute, "Okay, I'll get up on time tomorrow."
The eldest lady was very satisfied when she saw how well-behaved she was, and said proudly to her: "How is it? I slept well last night, didn't I? I didn't wake you up in the night, right?"
Su Rong paused, "No."
The eldest lady said happily: "I knew it would work."
Su Rong nodded, "Well, it works very well."
The eldest lady immediately said: "You will sleep with me today."
Su Rong readily agreed, "Okay."
After Su Rong washed up, she didn't bother to comb her hair, so she tied it halfway up her waist with a ribbon. There were scattered black hairs around her ears. After tying it, she said coquettishly, "Mom, I'm hungry."
The eldest lady did not agree with her appearance, but she still gave the order, "Miss Seventh is hungry, hurry up and prepare the meal."
She tapped Su Rong's forehead and said, "What a coincidence that you got up, it's almost lunch time."
Su Rong thought to herself who to blame. She could have gotten up early and planned to go to the East Palace after waking up yesterday. She lazily held the eldest lady's hand and walked out, "Is anyone from the East Palace here to send a message?"
The eldest lady immediately smiled, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that you are back and told you not to be anxious and to go see him after you have had enough rest."
