But when Man Bao glanced at her, she immediately reacted. After bowing, she responded, went to the bathroom to check, and then asked for something politely.
My wife doesn't like this kind of soap, so it must have the scent of osmanthus.
He picked up the big towels used inside and used two new ones. Then he pointed to the spacious bathroom and said: "Where is the wooden couch for washing your hair? We can't let our ladies bend down and lower their heads to wash, right? Is it possible that your mansion
Has the master been so troubled all the time?"
So the servant girl brought in another wooden couch.
Jiulan ordered a lot of things, and when they had everything ready, she lay down on the wooden couch and let Jiulan wash her hair.
She warned: "Clean up. There are hundreds of smallpox patients in our palace."
The girls and servants standing by and waiting all turned pale and quietly moved away from her.
Jiulan agreed loudly and started washing it carefully.
But they had already washed themselves once before coming out, and this time Jiulan mainly applied pressure on Manbao's head.
Their family has an imperial doctor, a medical assistant, and a student from the imperial medical department. Naturally, their maids have also learned some skills.
Mainly because Zhou Man taught them and then went to do massage for Old Madam Liu, Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Qian and others. Instead of them going out to treat people, they still caused the family members to suffer from back pain, dizziness and brain swelling when they returned home.
no?
Therefore, except for the new arrivals like Xibing, most of the servants in Zhou's house know a little bit about it.
Because the little girls not only learned how to massage their masters, they also exchanged massages in private.
Jiulan and Wuyue are the people who serve Zhou Man. In order to prepare for their master to use them in the future, they have been studying very hard, and their skills are considered to be good among them.
So Manbao, who enjoyed having his head pressed for the first time, gradually relaxed and then fell asleep without any hope.
When Jiulan saw her master asleep, she started to press gently and slowly, and occasionally increased the intensity, which made Zhou Man relax even more.
She rinsed her hair with hot water and it took about three-quarters of an hour to wash her hair. The nun who had entertained them had already come in several times.
Seeing Jiulan finally twisting her hair to get the water out, she breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward with a smile to speak. She saw Jiulan hissing and whispered: "Auntie, I will wring our lady's hair first. From now on
It's not a good time to wake her up. Our lady has been working hard for days. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether she is asleep or awake after wringing her hair. Why don't we let our lady rest more."
So Jiulan sat and wiped their little lady's hair, first gently rubbing it once, and then dividing it into strands and slowly drying it...
Not to mention the grandma in charge, the girls standing nearby were almost numb. I don’t know how long it took, but when their hair was almost dry, Jiulan wrapped her hair in a towel and put it up.
They all rushed out, and then the hot water was replaced for Zhou Man to bathe.
Man Bao sat in the so-called ancient recipe fragrant soup in the Duke's Mansion, stretched out his hand and raised the petals floating on the water and said with a smile: "I know this ancient recipe, and I also know the essence recipe. Although I have never made it, I should
It can also be made, otherwise I also know several recipes for smoking flowers, and the results should be good. Do you like bathing in fragrant soup? I'll make two recipes for you later."
Jiulan rolled up her sleeves and sat by the big wooden bucket to scoop water for Zhou Man. After hearing this, she shook her head and said, "How many flowers are needed? If the lady wants to use them for herself, that's fine. If they are for us, there is no need."
Man Bao grabbed a handful of flowers, put them in front of his nose and smelled them. They were indeed very fragrant. "When I have time, I will make a lot of them. I will give a little of this and a little of that."
Manbao soaked in comfort for two quarters of an hour, his fingers almost wrinkled before he got up, then dressed and groomed...
After all this was done, another two or three quarters of an hour passed, and the face of the stewardess was filled with an expression of urgency. She came out and then in, and then in and out again. She couldn't help but urge her twice.
Man Bao then smiled and said, "It's hard to be rude when you come to see the Duke's wife. Naturally, you have to freshen up and dress up."
So she soaked the beaded flower she originally wore on her head in hot water, euphemistically calling it disinfection.
After taking out the pearl flowers, wiping them clean and putting them on her head, another two quarters of an hour passed, and the grandma in charge was already pale, and she wished she could kneel down in front of Zhou Man immediately.
Manbao put on the beaded flower, then stood up holding Jiulan's hand, and nodded to a room full of pale-faced servants and servants: "Let's go, we don't want to keep the Duke and Madam waiting."
An hour and a half has passed since Zhou Man entered the house. He obviously entered the house at the same time, but now it was already noon and it was already time for lunch.
The Duke's wife in the backyard was waiting when she heard that Zhou Man had arrived. The whole Zhao family, except for those who went to the Yamen for work, were also waiting. As a result, they waited and waited for two or three moments.
No one came at the clock, so the first group of people went out to urge people. After that, someone came to urge people every half-quarter of an hour, but no one was seen.
An hour passed, and the Duke's wife almost fell asleep while sitting, but still no one was seen.
Everyone's faces looked a little ugly.
Liu Sanniang, who was waiting in the side room, was a little surprised when she didn't see the master arriving for two-quarters of an hour. Later, she was surprised. Later, she slowly calmed down and sat in the side room leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks.
, looking peaceful.
A steward came to invite her with a smile, "Assistant Doctor Liu, Doctor Zhou has arrived in the backyard. Why don't you pick her up?"
Liu Sanniang stood still and said softly: "I have been ordered to assist Master in seeing a doctor. I am only responsible for getting the medicine box and listening to Master's instructions. When I came to the front yard, I told you to just listen to Master, so I am waiting here."
Master, please stop wandering around the house."
Anyway, no matter what they said, she just sat in the side hall and didn't move, and she had to wait until her master came over.
In this way, Liu Sanniang watched the people in the yard become more and more busy and panicked. Those who came in and out were busy for an hour and a half before a voice outside shouted: "Mr. Zhou is here, Dr. Zhou is here."
Liu Sanniang immediately picked up the medicine box and went out. She saw her master coming with the Nine Orchid Stars holding the moon, and there were servants in front and on the left and right. Several ladies and grandmothers in the main room also heard the sound and immediately came out to welcome him.
She saw the Crown Prince's wife forcefully laughing and saying, "Mr. Zhou is here. Please come in quickly. Our old lady has been waiting for you early in the morning."
Man Bao nodded slightly to Mrs. Shizi, turned to look at Liu Sanniang, and asked with a smile: "How long have you been here?"
Liu Sanniang immediately carried the medicine box and came forward. After bowing, she stood behind Zhou Man and respectfully replied: "I just entered the house a quarter of an hour earlier than Master."
Man Bao nodded, "Let's go and see the Duke's wife."
