"The food and clothing are not as good as those of the servants. She is greeted every day, even if she is sick. She is punished by kneeling down if she is not satisfied at all. She is even made to do the work of a servant. In winter, she is made to work in the kitchen and beaten with a stick from time to time. Then
The doctor who came to see a doctor on the same day said that Miss Gu Er's health was very poor. It was really..." Eunuch Jing didn't know how to describe it: "The marriage I'm talking about is to the young master of the Anqing uncle's house. My biological mother joined the Anqing uncle's house.
The young master destroyed her innocence and made her his concubine."
"What do you think?"
Even poor families don't treat their daughters well, but they don't treat them so badly.
The regent's face was gloomy, and the knuckles of the fingers holding the book turned white from exertion.
Zheng! Very good!
Then, he thought about the day he met her at the Hou Mansion, and she said with a sly expression that she wanted to tell his fortune and wanted his Dongzhu. That incident must have happened that day.
It was the first time I felt such an uncomfortable feeling in my heart.
Looking at Eunuch Jing: "In that case, I will leave the restaurant affairs to you."
Eunuch Jing nodded solemnly.
Miss Gu Er is in such a miserable state, he should just let Miss Gu Er make some money.
Gu Mansion.
Gu Jinyan got up early in the morning and went to the old lady to say hello.
From now on, she will be looked after by the old lady, and daily greetings are indispensable.
When she arrived with Xiaochun, the old lady hadn't gotten up yet.
Aunt Ying was slightly surprised when she saw Gu Jinyan: "The second lady is here?"
Gu Jinyan smiled: "I'm here to say hello to grandma. Is grandma not up yet?"
Aunt Ying had a crush on Gu Jinyan. The second young lady had never left her boudoir before. The family had always felt that this second young lady had a personality problem. But now that she has met her, she is really a well-behaved and filial girl.
Aunt Ying's attitude became much gentler.
"Last night, the old lady started to lose her appetite and she was not feeling well. The doctor came to see her and said that the old lady was old and she would occasionally have such problems. He prescribed some medicine to treat it.
After people drank it for a long time, they felt that the medicine was bitter and had little effect, and they were unwilling to drink it, so they stopped taking it." Aunt Ying explained.
Gu Jinyan understood.
The old lady is indeed old and has some old problems.
She didn't know what happened in the previous life. She had always been around the Zheng family and never knew about these things.
Moreover, Ms. Zheng didn't like her getting close to her grandmother, so she learned nothing.
But her grandmother, before she wanted to be a concubine, asked her and said that she was a young lady from the Gu family, and she didn't have to be a concubine as long as she didn't want to.
She wholeheartedly listened to Zheng's words and refused.
Later, when she arrived at Zhuangzi, her grandmother and father both sent them things, but she had no face to see them before her revenge was avenged.
Thinking of this and her grandmother being kind to her these days.
Gu Jinyan's heart felt soft.
"Does grandma have a bad appetite? Aunt Ying, can I use the small kitchen here? Grandma is impatient to drink bitter medicine. Can I make her a cup of health soup and some appetizers?" Gu Jinyan said.
this....
Aunt Ying didn't know how to respond for a moment.
There were not many juniors in the house, and the old lady never liked to put people in her son's room, and she also warned her not to have too many concubines.
And the rules in the house are strict.
Like a concubine, she could not come to the old lady except at the specified time.
The eldest lady Gu Jinyu has never done anything like this.
The second lady talked about cooking, but none of the masters actually went to the kitchen.
Gu Jinyan looked at Aunt Ying and thought she didn't trust her cooking skills.
She smiled and said: "Aunt Ying, don't worry, even the cook praises my skills. Every winter, my mother will ask me to work in the kitchen, and when my mother has a bad appetite, I will do it."
Gu Jinyan looked proud that he knew how to do it.
Aunt Ying was a little sad.
When I go to the kitchen to do some work in winter, the weather is freezing, but Mrs. Shangshu really does it well.
I saw her full of filial piety.
Aunt Ying warned: "Don't be tired, just leave some things to the servants."
Gu Jinyan responded.
Went to the kitchen.
The servants in the small kitchen were frightened.
Gu Jinyan told them to leave her alone and just give her what she needed.
Then the convenience begins.
She first stewed pear, lily and white fungus soup over a warm fire.
During this interval, I cut the potatoes into shreds, planning to make a dish of spicy and sour potato shreds, as well as a cold cucumber strip, and then asked the cook to help cook some thinner porridge.
It'll be fine after a while.
The cooks in the old lady's small kitchen were all stunned. The actions and cooking skills of the second young lady were beyond their reach...
After it's done.
Gu Jinyan handed it to Aunt Ying and then said, "Aunt Ying, please give it to grandma to try. I will go back first and come back to say hello tomorrow."
When Aunt Ying was carrying the things, she was still thinking on the way, the second lady is really thoughtful.
It's done, but I didn't send it in person.
In this way, no matter whether the old lady wants to eat it or not, she doesn't have to force herself.
If she delivers it in person, even if the old lady doesn't want to eat it, she still has to eat some because of the second young lady.
"Old madam, you haven't eaten yet today. Please try these and see if you are satisfied." Aunt Ying said coaxingly.
The old lady took a look and became interested.
First I drank some Sydney Lily and Tremella Soup, which I thought was pretty good.
Then she drank some porridge with cold cucumber strips and spicy and sour potato shreds. Before she knew it, they were all finished, and the old lady still had some leftovers.
"How does the little kitchen know how to make such a thing today? The craftsmanship seems to be better than before." The old lady asked with some surprise.
After all, small kitchen meals.
That comes with big fish, big meat, delicacies from the mountains and sea.
If she feels uncomfortable, she will have more meat.
Seeing that the old lady liked it, Aunt Ying couldn't help but smile and said: "This and that are cooked by the cooks, this is made by the second lady."
"The second young lady came to say hello early. When she heard that the old lady was not feeling well, she went to the kitchen to make these herself."
"Did Jin Yan do it?" the old lady asked unexpectedly.
Aunt Ying nodded: "Isn't it? The second lady's cooking skills seem to be really good."
"I would like to say that this child is well-behaved." The old lady was also full of heart.
She doesn't have many rules and doesn't need to be greeted by the younger members of the family.
Jin Yan came early in the morning and even cooked the food himself.
At this moment, she really feels like she has a house full of children and grandchildren.
Gu Jinyan has returned to Zhangzhu Pavilion now.
When I came back, I just had lunch.
Lunch was set out, but she looked around: "Where is Xiaoqiu?"
Xiaoqiu, this girl, usually likes to chatter by her side.
Why don't you see anyone today?
Xiaoxia's eyes were a little dodgeful, and she said hesitantly: "Xiaoqiu doesn't feel well. She needs to rest for a while."
Xiaoqiu rest?
This girl, Xiaoqiu, was seriously ill at that time and didn't even take a break. She was doing chores in the yard.
