In fact, Mrs. Wang was really innocent, because she really lost a bottle of rose dew in her room,,,
But it was not someone else who took it, it was her precious son Jia Baoyu who took it secretly. Mrs. Wang was not around at that time, so Baoyu saw it and took it back secretly.
After returning home, he ate some and threw it aside. When Fangguan came, Baoyu gave the bottle of rose water to Fangguan.
Fangguan ate half of it but didn't eat it and kept it. Sister-in-law Liu had always been on good terms with Fangguan and others, so she was closer to them than their godmother.
Fang Guan remembered that she had heard people say that rose dew nourishes people. That sister-in-law Liu had a daughter named Liu Wuer. She was only sixteen years old this year. Although she was the daughter of a cook, she was born into a person like Ping, Zi, and Yuan.
kind.
The fifth in the family, this girl was just called Liu Wu'er. This girl had always been weak and weak, so she didn't work as an errand when she got older, as usual.
It was for this reason that Fangguan gave the rose water to Liu Wu'er, telling Liu Wu'er to go back and drink it for good health.
Liu Wuer happened to be infected with hot wind and cold that day, so Fangguan gave him some rose dew seeds to eat, and he got better. The same happened to Fangguan, who just asked this question today!
Sister-in-law Liu knew that this thing was precious, and she had never seen it even in the kitchen, so she thanked Fang Guan profusely, but she still wanted to get more. After all, it is a nourishing thing. Eat more of it.
, maybe my daughter’s frailty will get better!
Fangguan didn't take it seriously. After hearing Sister Liu's words, he hurried back to Baoyu's yard and told Baoyu about it.
When Baoyu heard this, he hurriedly said to Fangguan: "It just so happened that some rose water was sent over there yesterday, so just give it to her."
Fangguan agreed, and then Baoyu asked tentatively: "I wonder, when will she be willing to enter the house?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Guan glanced at Baoyu with a smile, then rolled his eyes and said, "Now is the time when the house is in chaos. Aren't you afraid that Miss Three will use you as a raft?"
Hearing this, Baoyu smiled and said, "What's this worth? I'll go tell Third Sister, and Third Sister won't embarrass me because of this kind of thing..."
Fang Guan rolled his eyes and said: "Even if you are not afraid, you still have to think about her. Just wait, her body is not healed yet! Even if she is healed, she has to wait for Mistress Lian to start working again. Someone is holding her hand.
It’s only safe to come in when the overall situation is clear!”
Hearing this, Baoyu could only nod helplessly in agreement, but still thinking about Liu Wuer's good looks, it was inevitable that he would feel a little itchy...
But it turned out that Sister-in-law Liu saw that Liu Wuer was too old, and if she didn't work in the house, she might be dragged to match the boy in the future!
After looking around like this, I guess that the Marquis of Dongfu doesn't like his daughter, and he doesn't have the means to send her in.
I don’t know how many people are looking at the position next to the Marquis! It won’t be their turn in the year of the monkey and the moon of the horse!
There is only one marquis in the East Mansion who is in need of children, and the rest are all unemployed, so the only choice is to look at the West Mansion. The old lady will definitely not be able to send it in. It is too hard, and the lady does not need so many people.
People serve.
Jia Huan is still a concubine in the final analysis and is not the best choice.
After looking around for a while, Baoyu was the most suitable person to be with. Besides, there were always many people in Baoyu's room, so he probably had to let a group of people go back.
Moreover, Sister-in-law Liu also has a connection with Baoyu, that is, Fangguan! Now she told Fangguan, and Yangfangguan went to Baoyu to see if a group of people around Baoyu could be called Liu Wuer.
I also went to Baoyu’s house as an errand!
Baoyu had also met Wuer. When he thought about how he had forgotten such a beauty, he could only agree with her.
Fang Guan wanted to call Liu Wu'er to come in as an errand, but at this time, the atmosphere in the inner house was already slightly wrong. Ever since Baoyu and Sister Feng were under the spell, the Jia family's inner house was feeling a bit tense!
In addition, after Aunt Zhao made such a fuss, Tanchun wanted to find someone to vent her anger on when she spoke out. At this time, Fang Guan became even more cautious!
Just now I thought of asking Liu Wu'er to take a break and wait until the vibration in the Jia family's inner house became a little more stable before he came in to work.
So after quarreling with Baoyu, Fangguan took the rose dew back to the kitchen. There wasn't much left, so he even sent the bottle over.
Just then, Liu Wuer came in. After walking around the garden to relax, he followed her mother back to the kitchen, where they were having tea and resting.
Fangguan brought a small glass bottle about five inches high and Yingliang looked at it. There was half a bottle of rouge-like juice inside, which he said was the Western wine that Baoyu had eaten.
Seeing this, Sister-in-law Liu hurriedly said: "Hurry up and boil the water with a spinner. Sit down."
Yes, many people may not know that the best way to drink wine these days is to drink it hot,,,
Using a water bath and scalding the glass bottle until it is half-warm can stimulate the sweet taste of the wine.
Because this thing was still an imported product at this time, no one except wealthy people had ever drank it, so the drinking method was naturally introduced from foreign countries.
At that time, the Germans, French and Austrians all liked this way of drinking, and would even add cloves, cinnamon, lemon and other naughty things to the hot red wine.,,
Fangguan smiled and said: "These are the only ones left. I'll even give you the bottle."
After hearing this, Liu Wuer realized that this was rose dew, so he quickly took it and thanked Fangguan.
Fangguan didn't say much to her. He just looked at Liu Wu'er's slightly pale face and asked, "Are you feeling better these days?"
Hearing this, Liu Wu'er showed a weak smile and said: "I feel more energetic today, so I can come in and take a walk. The area behind is not interesting, but I can see some big rocks, trees and the back wall of the house, which is a serious and beautiful scenery.
did not see it."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hearing this, Fang Guan was confused and said: "Why do you just wander around this corner? Of course there is no serious scenery, why don't you go forward?
?”
Sister-in-law Liu interjected: "I didn't ask her to go forward, and the girls didn't recognize her. Besides, if someone who didn't like her saw her, there would be another quarrel."
Fang Guan nodded, and Liu Wu'er didn't know whether it was okay or not. Sister-in-law Liu then smiled and said: "Besides, I'll ask you to take her to the house tomorrow. I'm afraid no one will take her around. I'm just afraid that no one will take her around."
There are still days when I’m tired of it.”
After hearing this, Fangguan smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? Let's just go shopping in a while. No one will talk, and I will take care of everything."
After hearing this, Sister-in-law Liu still stopped her and said, "Hey! My girl, our scalps are thin and cannot compare to yours."
After saying that, he poured tea again. Fangguan didn't want to eat the tea cooked by the kitchen for the ladies, so he just took a sip and left.
Sister-in-law Liu was busy cooking at that time, so she told Liu Wu'er: "I'll hold the hand here, and Wu Yatou will send it to you."
Liu Wuer stood up and escorted Fangguan out. Seeing that there was no one around him, he pulled Fangguan and asked, "Have you said what I said?"
Fang Guan smiled and said, "Can't I coax you? I heard that there were two missing nests in the house, and they were not filled in. One is a red jade one, and Second Mistress Lian has not been sent yet, and the other one is a Zhui'er.
Yes, I haven’t made up for it yet. Now it’s not too much to ask for one from you.”
Liu Wu'er nodded when he heard the words, and Fangguan continued: "It's because Ping'er often told She Yue that if anything touches people or money, it's better to endure it for a day. You also know that I'm with that person.
The third girl must be worried about Zhao Busheng. Now she is looking for what happened in our house but can't find it. Why bother to go back and forth in the net to find it? If you say something to refute it, you will be old by then and it will be difficult to turn around.
.”
When Liu Wuer heard this, he nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but what should I do?"
Fang Guan just smiled and said: "It's better to wait for Leng Leng. Old lady, my mind is at ease. It's a big deal if you tell me in advance."
Hearing this, Liu Wuer sighed and said, "Even so, I'm impatient and can't wait any longer."
Looking at Fangguan's puzzled eyes, Liu Wu'er just explained: "I have chosen you now. Firstly, I can give my mother some credit and support me in vain. Secondly, I can add monthly money so that my family can be more relaxed. Thirdly,
Then my heart will open up, I am afraid that the disease will be cured, and even if I ask the doctor to take medicine, I will save my family's money."
After arriving at Baoyu's room and asking the doctor to take medicine, he naturally left Baoyu's room.
Fangguan nodded clearly and said: "I know everything. Just rest assured. This matter must be safe. It's just a matter of calming down for a few days."
After saying this, Wu'er said nothing more. They said goodbye, and Fangguan left without mentioning it.
When Shan Biao Wu'er came back, Sister-in-law Liu brewed some rose dew and drank it with her. The mother and daughter talked about Fangguan, and naturally they couldn't help but express their deep gratitude to Fangguan.
Just looking at the remaining rose dew, Sister-in-law Liu said: "If you don't want to get these things, although they are precious things, they are the most excitable after eating too much, so it's okay to give some of this to someone."
A great sentiment."
Wu'er heard this and asked hurriedly: "Who are you sending it to?"
Sister-in-law Liu said: "Send your uncle's son. He had a fever yesterday and he also wants to eat these things. Now I will pour half a cup with him."
After hearing this, Wu'er was speechless for a long time. He poured half of the cup with his mother and put the remaining bottle in the guy's kitchen.
When Wu'er saw it, he couldn't help but sneer and said: "According to me, it's fine if I don't give it to him. If someone cross-examines it, it will be another problem."
Sister-in-law Liu said nonchalantly when she heard this: "How can we be so afraid of these things? We have worked so hard and earned something from it, so we should do it. Could it be that the thieves stole it?"
This is indeed true. It is such a truth that even the masters of the Jia family would not say anything when they saw their servants stealing something for snacks.
Therefore, Wu'er was speechless. He thought that this shabby place was very dirty, and no master would come, so it didn't matter. He immediately put this matter behind him, but he didn't expect that this would happen.
Instead, he got into serious trouble and even almost died!
But it was said that Sister-in-law Liu went to her brother-in-law's home and saw her nephew lying down, so she took out the rose water.
Her brother and sister-in-law also worked from the Jia family, so how could they not recognize such precious things? She was very surprised when she saw them!
Now I took cold water from the well and ate a bowl. My heart felt refreshed, my head felt cool, and my illness was mostly cured!
Some people may think that the summer of the ancients was not hot, or that the ancients were responsible for the heat, but in fact, we are all the same people. If you are hot, how could the ancients not be hot?
Even the Ming Dynasty, which was in the Little Ice Age, had many records of people dying of heat during the Great Summer. At the peak, thousands of people were even heated to death in the capital city in one day!
According to ancient books, these people seemed to have been cooked alive, and their internal organs had already turned white! But the symptoms of heat stroke were consistent with those described in modern times!
This has been the case these past few days. It has been extremely hot and muggy. At this time, the imperial court would distribute free mung bean soup and anti-surgery medicine at the street corners.
Naturally, citizens cooled down by eating Sushan and iced sour plum soup, or going to an ice house. Even squatting under the shade of a tree would do a lot of good.
Naturally, every room in the Jia family has been equipped with ice mirrors to relieve the heat, which is cooler than modern air-conditioned rooms!
Jia Jing has known this truth for a long time. For wealthy people, your life in ancient times is no less than modern life.,,
What the masters can enjoy, the servants cannot enjoy, so Sister-in-law Liu's nephew has been running around outside these few days and has contracted a fever.
This actually depends on your destiny. If your destiny is strong, drink some anti-heat medicine, and it will pass. If your destiny is not strong, just drink more anti-heat medicine, and it will pass.
Fortunately, Sister-in-law Liu got a little bit of rose water, which can be used with cold water to relieve the heat and nourish people. Most of it was cured immediately, and the remaining half was covered with paper and placed on the table.
At this time, several young men who were friendly with Sister-in-law Liu and her nephew also came in, but they came to ask about his illness.
Among the crowd, there was a young man named Qian Huai, who was Aunt Zhao's nephew. His parents were now the accountants of the treasury and were highly valued.
When he was young, he went to school with Jia Huan. After Jia Huan studied with Mr. Jingshan, he was no longer needed.
Nowadays, he still works as a servant for Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao, but she doesn't have much use for him. Jia Huan doesn't take him with her when she goes out, but Aunt Zhao doesn't have to go out either, so she often idles around now.
As for why Aunt Zhao's nephew is named Qian, it is naturally because he is not a biological nephew. Qian Huai's family is a well-known servant in charge of the accounts. Qian Huai's father, Qian Hua's father, was very powerful at the time and was quite capable.
Say a few words in front of the master.
Aunt Zhao is beautiful, so Qian Hua's father valued this at the beginning and was eager to make Aunt Zhao his concubine!
It was also for this reason that she had just recognized her godfather. Aunt Zhao called Qian Hua's father her godfather. Qian Hua was her godbrother, so Qian Huai was naturally her nephew!
Although Aunt Zhao is smart and stingy, there is one thing that is worthy of praise, that is, she knows how to repay her kindness. Therefore, after giving birth to a child from the same family and becoming a concubine, Aunt Zhao naturally has to take care of the Qian family, which is actually more important than taking care of her real natal Zhao family.
Stay closer to home!
It is precisely because of this that the Qian family is quite wealthy within the Jia family, especially after top servants like the Lai family were killed by Jia Jing, the Qian family is even more powerful slaves!
Qian Huai was now in his teens and had not yet gotten married. He knew Liu Wuer's facial features from somewhere, so he took the opportunity to look at her. As expected, his heart melted!
Although Qian Huai has worked in a wealthy compound for so many years and looks at the good-looking maids, Qian Huai knows deeply that he cannot get involved in them!
The young Mu Ai is nothing but a lustful person. Now there is such a beauty with a similar status, even much lower than the Qian family. She looks just like Qingwen in Mr. Hou's room and the girl in Sister Feng's children's room.
Ping'er, how could Qian Huai not be interested in the beauty like a mandarin duck beside the old lady?
He immediately went back and told his parents that he wanted to marry her. Qian Hua and his wife also knew Sister-in-law Liu, and they were very satisfied with it, so they asked the matchmaker again and again.
Sister-in-law Liu and her husband are naturally willing. After all, the conditions of the Qian family are indeed good, and they themselves are not prepared to ask Wu'er to climb into any high branches, so the Qian family is really a well-matched family!
Zheng Nai Wu'er refused to comply. Although he did not say it clearly because of his status as a Qian family, his actions and actions showed his disgust and alienation towards Qian Huai, so his parents did not dare to agree.
Recently, the Liu family wanted to send Liu Wu'er to the garden again, but they put the matter aside more and more, and only waited for his release in three to five years to choose a son-in-law from outside.
When the Qian family saw this, they didn't take it to heart. Although Liu Wu'er was good-looking and the Liu family was pretty good, the strong-willed melon wasn't sweet. Besides, what kind of conditions did the Qian family want? Why force it?
Naturally, I just gave up!
Unexpectedly, Qian Huai couldn't get Wu'er, and he felt angry and ashamed. If Liu Wu'er really obeyed, with Qian Huai's character, two days of being proud would be just a matter of forgetting it. But now that he couldn't, the hatred in his heart would become even more intense.
Get it into a match to fulfill this wish!
Because of this, Qian Huai often hangs out with Sister-in-law Liu's nephew. Today I heard that he was sick, so he came to visit with everyone else.
Unexpectedly, he saw Sister-in-law Liu as soon as he entered the door. He inevitably took a second look. He looked at Sister-in-law Liu, and Sister-in-law Liu naturally saw him.
Sister-in-law Liu saw a group of people coming, and saw that it was Qian Huai who was following closely behind her. The two parties had not reached an agreement on marriage, so it would be awkward to meet again at this time, and there was nothing more to say, so she excused herself and got up to leave. .
Seeing this, his brother and sister-in-law didn't bother to greet Qian Huai and others, so they hurriedly sent Liu's sister-in-law away: "Why did his aunt leave without having tea? Why are you in such a hurry? It's hard to worry about my aunt."
Hearing this, Sister-in-law Liu quickly said that it was right, and then she said with a smile: "I should have stayed here to see if it was okay, but I was afraid that if food was passed around inside, it would be bad if I couldn't be found by then. Wait a minute. Come out to see your nephews when you have free time, there is no need to send them off, you can just go back and greet them."
