One Curtain Wind Moon Nine Heavens

Chapter 54
A mother's child is a treasure, and a mere cough makes the whole Huatong courtyard boil.In the courtyard, the outer hall, and the inner room, a row of maidservants came and went according to the orders of the mistress, passing Yuan Zhao like a gurgling water.

Well organized, not messy at all.

Unlike when Yuan Zhao was outside, the temporary maid that Father found for her was always in a hurry and acted out of order.

And right now, what are these maids doing?Serve hot and cold towels, wait for the doctor to tell you which one is best, and use whichever; bring warm water, fruit cheese and warm sweet syrup, and wait for the doctor to say which one is best to drink.

There are also all kinds of snacks, in case the children are hungry; oh, barbecue is a must.

What's more, Aunt Huanhu, the servant girl next to A Niang, kept in mind Ji Wu's words, and ordered the maid to place a small bowl of seasonings beside the barbecue, such as the spicy pepper, which can be said to be very considerate.

Because of the hot pepper seasoning, Doctor Yu was so angry that he flew into his forehead, suppressed his temper and repeatedly ordered:

"Ma'am, the Princess is seriously injured. If you want to recover quickly, your diet...must be light!"

I wanted to say it should be light, but then I thought about it, this is the Marquis Mansion, not the palace, so there is no need to be gentle and courteous to them, a threatening tone is more effective.

Sure enough, Mrs. Jiang's complexion changed slightly, and she quickly called Shan Shan:
"Let the princess take a bite or two, don't eat too much!"

"Madam, don't worry, the servants know." Shan Shan led the servants in with a slight smile.

Doctor Yu was so angry that she almost turned her face on the spot, but fortunately she had cultivated enough and used the patience she had with the nobles in the palace to retreat respectfully.After returning to the residence, he wrote down the bottomless connivance of Mrs. Dingyuanhou to the prostitute again.

And Yuan Zhao, under A Niang's loving eyes and caring, had a meal happily under the service of Shan Shan. He picked up a piece of barbecue and dipped some spicy peppers to taste it, feeling quite disappointed:

"Aniang, this is not spicy enough."

No, it's not that it's not spicy enough, it's not spicy at all!Totally different from this morning!See, Aunt Shanhu pursed her lips and snickered, Yuan Zhao understood immediately.

"You can eat if you have something to eat." No outsiders were around, Jiang sipped her tea calmly, "There is no time to prepare this morning, so you will eat this from now on."

Even if she ran away from Doctor Yu out of anger, she couldn't make fun of her child's body.Before going to the main hall this morning, she had ordered her close maid, Amber, to make a special chili seasoning for the princess.

The color is the same as the aroma, but the taste is completely different.

So that's the case, Yuan Zhao pouted and muttered dissatisfiedly, "What kind of spicy is this? When I recover from my injury, I'll ask Mr. Tao to make a new hot sauce."

"Old Man Tao is your father's special cook, don't make trouble for him." Jiang Shi gave her daughter a disapproving look.

Lord Hou has been fighting outside for many years, so the wife of course hopes that he can eat, drink and dress well when he is outside.As Master Hou's entourage and cook, Old Man Tao rarely came back to rest well, how could he allow his daughter to mess around?
"Princess, please take care of your injuries first," Shan Shan coaxed the child on behalf of the wife, "When you feel better, ask Amber to serve you the mustard sauce for a taste?"

"Mustard sauce?" Yuan Zhao's eyes widened in surprise, "She can make it? Why haven't I eaten it before?"

"You were young before, who dared to let you taste that?" Shan Shan smiled, "Humber's craftsmanship is no worse than that of Mr. Tao, so you can relax and heal your wounds, there is no rush."

Well, Yuan Zhao compromised.

Seeing the child's head shrugging, Jiang couldn't bear it and said:
"When you are well, let Amber follow you."

She has already selected servants for the child to serve, and temporarily does not set up a small kitchen, for fear that the unattended daughter will eat food indiscriminately.She figured out her daughter's preferences from Master Hou's letter. In her spare time, she likes to mess with the cook the most.

In the past, the child was out of her reach, but now when she returns to the mansion, she has to keep a close eye on it.

"No need, Auntie, you can keep it." Yuan Zhao said sensiblely, "I'm not picky about food, so I'll go to your place for a couple of meals when I'm free."

Puchi, the little man spoke in an old-fashioned way, which made Jiang Shi and Shan Shan amused.Huatong Courtyard doesn't have a small kitchen, so where else can she go besides eating in Mother's Courtyard?
Yuan Zhao was inexplicably laughed at, but soon realized that he had said something stupid.

It doesn't matter, as long as Auntie is happy.

The child has been away for several years, not only has a gentle temper, but also has become sensible and reasonable. Jiang was very relieved, and smiled and said:

"My son is filial, so Auntie will keep it for now. After a few years, when a small kitchen is set up in your yard, Auntie will let her come over."

"Well, good." Yuan Zhao nodded, whatever.

Then, Jiang motioned to Coral to let the servants who were waiting outside come in in turn.

As the concubine's daughter of the Hou's mansion, and also the princess, there are indispensable people around her to wait on her.

However, due to the current embarrassing status of the Hou Mansion, it can no longer be as high-profile as before.Therefore, the number of servants in each courtyard has been reduced, and the daughter's courtyard is no exception.

"You recognize the tortoise shell. She, coral, amber, and pearl are all old people who serve by Auntie's side..."

These four servants used to be Jiang's four female officials.As the identities of the masters changed, they were reduced from female officials to ordinary maids, and they were still loyal to their wives and never left them.

Among them, Aunt Pearl passed away very early.

She is the female official in charge of Jiang's dowry. She had an accident when she went out to inspect Zhuangzi.Over the years, no one has taken her place.It wasn't until Coral got married and gave birth to a daughter, Ji Ji, that she succeeded Pearl.

This girl's name is Ginkgo, she is only 20 years old, and she is a loyal servant specially trained by the Jiang family for her daughter.

Tortoiseshell and Amber have never been married, and they regard Ginkgo as their own.From then on, with the tortoiseshell and ginkgo serving her daughter, Jiang began to feel at ease.

In addition to these two, there are four first-class maidservants, Xike, Yinzhu, Bihuan, and Zhilan; six inferior maidservants in total; Four servants running errands.

"Although Xike and Dongtang have practiced martial arts, you still need to bring Luo guards with them when you go in and out. You can't be willful." Jiang glanced at her daughter with a dignified expression.

"Yeah, yeah." Yuan Zhao nodded obediently.

Alas, looking at her being the same on the outside and inside, she is really well-behaved, a trace of helplessness flashed across Jiang's eyes.She is obviously a daughter, but she is more mischievous and mischievous than her son back then, making people worry and headache.

This winter month, the Huatong Courtyard where the couple are present is filled with laughter and warmth.

……

In the main hall of the front yard, Lan Ji had brought her children back to her own yard. Zhuo Ji saw that her daughter Wuxia and her eldest daughter Ru Lan were busy going there in a negotiated manner. The two got along well, so she also left with peace of mind.

In this way, only the Feng family and his sons remained in the huge main hall.

"Er Niang, that son and Guan Shi are going back first." The eldest son Bei Yueyong and his wife saluted Feng Shi.

Although Feng Shi is his own mother, he can no longer call her A Niang or mother.

"Go." Every time she heard her own son call her second mother, Feng's heart was always uneasy, and she said listlessly, "It's rare for you to take a bath today and take a good rest."

The prince and his wife smiled slightly and retreated respectfully.

"Aniang, then I'll meet father at the gate of the city." The third son, Bei Yueli, was very anxious seeing that it was late.

"Go." Feng waved his hand weakly.

This kid is determined, has no orders, and never knows how to be lazy.But the sixth son——

"Aniang, my son is also retiring." Bei Yuelang got up and bowed.

"wait."

"Aniang, I still have to go to the academy!"

The return of his first sister caused him to waste a whole morning, and Bei Yuelang's face was full of impatience.
