Half of the lake is embedded in the garden, and the place where you can see plum blossoms from Yuzhu is very close.

When the group of people hurried over, they saw a group of people gathered around the lake. When they saw Yuzhu coming, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Zaoyuan had been dragged out of the water and was lying on the ground coughing. Silver Chain, with a pale face, wrapped a thick cloak around her and kept patting her back.

"What's going on?"

Seeing that everyone was fine, Yu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and asked angrily.

——These maids, especially Hua Ruo and Zaoyuan, have been serving her since early on, and they have the deepest affection.

Suddenly, the corner of her eye caught sight of the fishing rods and fish buckets scattered on the shore. Her nose felt sour and she understood everything.

He quickly ordered some rough ladies to help her back to the yard, muttering: "Damn girl, am I so greedy? Baba is only thinking about those two fish..."

I couldn't help but get red eyes: "What if I get hurt?"

Hua Ruo was also very worried, but he still held back and persuaded: "... He said he would be rescued right away. Go back and take care of yourself, and everything will be fine."

By the way, whoever saved Zaoyuan should thank you very much.

Yu Zhu had not noticed in his panic just now, but now his eyes finally fell on a slender figure next to him.

It's her

Yun Xiang was also wrapped in a cloak, her whole body was soaked, and she was shivering from the cold. The scattered black hair stuck to her pale cheeks, and she was so fragile that she seemed likely to fall down at any time.

Zhou's mother looked unbearable, put her hand into the cloak to warm her hand, and looked at Yu Zhu with eyes full of pleading.

"What are you still doing? Help Yunxiang back quickly." Yu Zhu gradually had doubts in her heart, but this was obviously not the time to ask questions. It was more serious to change her wet clothes first.

Back at Qinghuiyuan, the small kitchen had received the news and boiled many pots of hot water and brought it over. Several maids helped Zayuan take off her clothes, soaked her with cloth towels in warm water and wiped her body, and finally supported her.

Soaked in hot water.

Being stimulated by the hot water, Zaoyuan shivered immediately, but when Yu Zhu glared at her, she had no choice but to lower her head obediently, not daring to move again.

Seeing her face gradually turn red due to the effect of hot water, and her lips turning blood color, Yu Zhu decided to teach her: "...I just pointed at your two fish to eat, how dare you have one?"

People ran to the lake.”

"I'm going alone, so I should be more careful. No matter how old you are, you can just let it go..." Yu Zhu hit Zaoyuan on the forehead, and personally took the ginger tea in the small tea tray and handed it to her.

, said fiercely: "Drink quickly, it will make you feel cold. The imperial doctor will come over later. If you see anything wrong, just wait for me."

Zaoyuan was busy laughing along with her, and drank the ginger tea in one go, grinning because it was so hot, which made Yin Lian laugh, "Sister Zaoyuan, please drink slowly, and then you can put it on the stove. You can't bear it in your mouth."

"Little Silver Chain is still smiling. Be careful, I'm sick, and all the work will fall on you."

Seeing that Zaoyuan still had the energy to joke, Hua Ruo calmed down and asked, "It's okay, why did you fall into the water?" She knew Zaoyuan's temperament. On the surface, he looked carefree, but in fact he was not at all.

Jiao Jie, I have been fishing with the lady for more than a day or two, how could I fall into the lake?

The few maids who had some conditioned reflexes trained by Cui were immediately filled with conspiracy theories.

"I don't know either." Zaoyuan shrank into the water, obviously still worried about the cold lake water, "...Mother Yao didn't allow us to go fishing at the lake, for fear of offending my wife's interest, so I thought of taking advantage of it.

My wife was gone and I hurriedly caught two fish. Unexpectedly, after fishing for a while, my head became dizzy, and it was so dark that I couldn't see anything. I panicked... and lost everything."

The three mothers of Ruan, Yao and Jie also rushed over after hearing the news. After hearing this, Mother Ruan couldn't help but asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Eat." Qinsi replied from the side: "My sister Zaoyuan and I ate together... Douer steamed buns, fruit porridge, and the meat and melon dumplings that my wife rewarded."

If this is the case, it cannot be the fault of the early garden itself. Mother Ruan knows the physical conditions of the maids well, and there is no way they will be dizzy for no reason.

As soon as I wiped the bed and put myself under the covers, I heard the report, "Madam, Doctor Dai from the Imperial Hospital is here."

He quickly ordered someone to come in, while Yu Zhu hid behind the fan.

Mother Ruan put down the red embroidered curtain on the kang cover and asked Zaoyuan to stretch out her hand from the tent.

I asked the imperial doctor to go all the way, but I didn't dare to let him know that it was just for a maid. Yu Zhu said politely through the fan, "I'd like to trouble you to make this trip." But he didn't mention who was lying on the bed.

Doctor Dai wiped his sweat and didn't even dare to say anything. He stepped forward to check his pulse, stood up and said, "...it's okay, it's not a cold, just take two doses of medicine to evacuate and evacuate."

Dr. Dai didn't have high qualifications in the hospital, so he was often sent out to treat some of the noble families. He knew the rules very well, and didn't ask or read too much. After prescribing, he followed his mother-in-law out.

Yu Zhu hurriedly ordered Ruan's mother to take her purse and chase him out, and at the same time ordered someone to cook some medicine.

After Zaoyuan drank the medicine and fell asleep, she remembered that there was another person there, so she got up to see Yunxiang again.

Mother Zhou was accompanying her. When she saw Yu Zhu approaching, she stood up and saluted.

Yu Zhu saw her eyes were red and looked at the deserted room, then asked: "Have you taken the medicine? How are you now?"

"Go back to my wife, I just finished drinking." Zhou's mother glanced at Yunxiang's bloodless lips, feeling pity in her heart. She was also a maid, but her treatment was too different. One was being treated by an imperial doctor, and several people were surrounding her. The other was a maid.

Those who went down to save people were left out in the cold... Yunxiang's life experience was better.

"Mother Zhou has worked so hard, it's hard for you to come and take care of her." Seeing that mother Zhou was really protecting Yunxiang, Yu Zhu suddenly had an idea and said softly: "I heard that mother's only son is eighteen this year."

——It is indeed useful to remember some family members who have to use servants.

Zhou’s mother nodded hesitantly, why did the wife bring this up?

The more Yu Zhu thought about it, the more feasible it became, "As you know, Yunxiang's brother is the second master's general, so Yunxiang is different from ordinary maids, and the contract she signed is a living contract..."

Seeing the confusion on Zhou's mother's face, Yu Zhu looked at the person in the tent calmly. Seeing that her eyes were still closed tightly, he continued: "The second master told me a few days ago that he asked me to find a girl for Yunxiang."

A good family, I will return the body deed to her in the spring...

...I am very worried, what is the right thing to do? If she marries outside...she is alone, with no elders to care for her, no brothers to rely on. If she is entrusted to someone wrong, it will harm her for the rest of her life. I just miss Zhou's mother*

*The son is sure to be safe."

Although Zhou's mother's son is not considered a servant by Cheng Xunxun's side, he manages a few shops outside, so he should have some wealth by now.

Seeing the mention of her precious only son, Zhou's mother was a little hesitant. She originally wanted to ask the eldest maid next to the wife to be her daughter-in-law in the spring. Not only because the wife always loves them, but whoever marries them will definitely reach the sky in one step, and their future will never be the same.

Don't worry, I don't know how many people are watching... Moreover, the four big maids are smart and capable. They can keep all the maids and mothers in charge without the mother having to intervene. With such a daughter-in-law,

It's not like I got a baby

If you ask for rue...

Zhou's mother hesitated. Although she looked good, she couldn't help her son at all. She also fell into cold water. She didn't know if it would hinder the children... She only had this son, but she couldn't take risks.

Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw Zhou's mother was silent. Didn't she like Yunxiang very much?

Forget it, it's better not to force others to make things difficult. Yu Zhu left two more maids to help take care of her, and told her to go to her if there was any need, and then turned and returned to the room.

Mother Zhou was relieved when she saw Yuzhu left without saying anything. As soon as she was relieved, she felt a chill. She hurriedly walked to the corner of the room, opened the copper cover on the brazier, and buried the cooked charcoal with a shovel.

After burying it, I picked up two pieces of soothing incense and put it on, covered it again, and then returned to the bed.

But I saw that the person on the bed had opened his eyes at some point, and was looking at the embroidered patterns on the top of the bed in a daze. Mother Zhou was a little embarrassed, hesitated and reached out to touch her forehead, and said with concern: "...Fortunately I didn't initiate it.

It's hot, so just cover it up, and I'll make it for you if you want to eat it."

Yunxiang moved her eyes to look at her, and a complicated look flashed past her. Mother Zhou closed her eyes again tiredly without even noticing. After a while, she opened them again, and said in a coquettish tone: "Mom

, but it scared me. I didn’t expect the water to be so ice-cold... My whole body was frozen and I almost didn’t have the strength to climb out.”

"What are you talking about, a girl like you, why do you jump down to save people?" Zhou's mother scolded, "...You should have shouted out and asked your mother-in-law to save you at that time. You are not in good health to begin with. If you have cramps, or

No matter what the root of the disease is, it's okay. Don't get out of bed recently and have a good rest... You saved the wife's personal maid, so I guess it's okay to take a leave of absence."

"My brother taught me when I was little, it's okay... Besides, I didn't have time to think too much at the time, and no one was passing by around me. If I ran to look for someone and something happened in the morning garden, my wife might be angry." After a pause.

, Yunxiang stretched out her hand from the quilt, held Zhou's mother's hand against her cheek, and murmured: "Mom, you are so kind to me." As she spoke, tears flowed from her eyes, and she sobbed, "

Ever since my mother passed away, no one has been so kind to me."

Mother Zhou seemed to be burned by the hot tears. She retracted her hand, but failed to retract it. After thinking about it, she stretched out her other hand to stroke Yunxiang's head and said, "Okay, don't cry.

I just lit the soothing incense, so just take a nap and calm down."

"Mom, can I ask you something?" The voice was small and timid, as if she was afraid of being rejected.

"Tell me." Mother Zhou carefully tucked her into the quilt and said without raising her head, "Do you want to eat something? The kitchen is ready and complete. Mother Zhou will cook it for you right now.
