Chapter 24 Excuses
Shui Ling let out a long breath as he heard the sound of the gourd rolling in the distance.
"Girl, I think that little nun is more stupid and thick-skinned than me. I am embarrassed to say those words, but she dares to say them."
Grandma Wu, Shuixiang and Shuiqing both covered their mouths and started laughing.
Aunt Wu said angrily, "Shh, keep your voice down. If those people hear you, you will be in trouble and you will bring trouble to the master."
Shui Ling said, "I'm not stupid. I dare not say anything until they are far away."
Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "That Princess Zhenbao is not stupid, but is very smart. She dares to say that because she knows that her relatives will pamper her no matter what she does."
Shui Qing said, "Yes, I am a princess and have a noble status."
Shuiling added, "I also discovered a problem. The nuns who serve the princess are all dark and ugly. I looked in the mirror and they were uglier than me. Is that intentional?"
Her words made Jiang Yixi and others laugh again.
They were speechless, but they all knew it must be intentional. Li Zhenbao was not good-looking, and she was particularly concerned about this, so they would not dare to find a beautiful servant to stimulate her.
Half an hour later, one of Li Kai's long followers returned to Huzhuang to give a thank-you gift. He gave Jiang Yixi a banknote of two hundred taels of silver, Uncle Wu a five-tael silver ingot, and each of the other servants one tael of silver ingot.
.
Jiang Yixi secretly thought, she didn't expect that Prince Yong was such a thoughtful person. She was from a girl's family, and it was hard for him to give gifts as a man, so yellow and white gifts like this were the best gifts.
Since it was a thank you gift, Jiang Yixi accepted it happily because she was short of money.
Through this contact, Jiang Yixi fell more in love with the outspoken Princess Zhenbao.
The next thing she has to do is to wait until the Meng family's descendants return to Mengjiazhuang to treat Meng Cimo. As for why she suddenly cured her eye disease, she has already thought of the reason.
She called Grandma Wu into the room alone, "Mammy, I want to go and treat Prince Meng's eye disease."
Aunt Wu said in shock, "Girl, you have only been reading for a long time, how can you possibly be able to cure the disease? I heard that even the imperial doctors at the Imperial Hospital couldn't treat Meng Shizi's eye disease. The old man, Cheng Guogong, is now spending a lot of money on everything."
Please invite famous doctors from all over the world."
Jiang Yixi said, "Mommy, don't you know my temper? How could I act recklessly? This is the thing. To be honest with you, when I was burning incense and vegetarian food for my father in Guanghe Temple, there were a lot of people there.
An adventure... Every night after Shuilu fell asleep, I would go next door to learn medical skills from him... I was afraid that my grandma would be worried, so I never dared to say anything."
Aunt Wu first scolded her for a while, "That little girl is so lazy, she only knows how to sleep and sleep. The master doesn't even know when he goes out. What to do if something happens." Then she said incredulously, "In such a short time, the girl...
Have you learned how to treat illnesses?”
Jiang Yixi said, "Well, I don't know why. During that time, my mind was very clear and I could learn everything at once."
Aunt Wu thought for a while and said happily, "I know now. It must be the spirit of the second master and his wife in heaven that protects the second girl and makes the second girl smarter. At first, the old slave was wondering that the second girl didn't pay attention to many things before.
, but now it’s dawned on me. Before, the second girl, like other young ladies, especially admired and admired Mr. Meng, but later she was able to refuse Meng’s marriage without hesitation..."
Jiang Yixi was secretly happy. As expected, Nanny Wu was the easiest person to believe in herself. She pretended to light up her eyes and said, "Yeah, I've never been able to figure out why I suddenly became smarter. It turns out that's the case."
Mother Wu realized that what she was thinking made sense. She immediately became serious and clasped her hands together, "Amitabha, blessings from Bodhisattvas, blessings from all the gods and stars, blessings from the spirits of the master and wife in heaven..."
Jiang Yixi added, "However, only a few of us know about me studying medicine in the middle of the night. We must not tell anyone."
As long as these words don't reach Shui Lu's ears, the lie will not be exposed.
Mother Wu agreed happily, "Of course, it will be harmful to the girl's reputation if word spreads."
It started to rain at night. Jiang Yixi felt very at ease. She finally got acquainted with Li Zhenbao and got along well. She was in a humble position and could not prevent that incident from happening, but she had to find a way to keep Mr. Meng out of it.
.I found an excuse because I knew how to treat illnesses, and Grandma Wu believed it so easily.
In the next few days, Jiang Yixi still went to Zhaoming Temple to burn incense. After burning the incense, she left without looking for Li Zhenbao.
On the eighteenth day, I met Suwei. She was wearing plain clothes, and her hair was in a monk's hat. She was not very ugly, rather dark, with a big nose, but she was the most delicate among the servants.
She took two steps forward and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang Er, the little dieting master asked me to tell you that Master Cangji has agreed that the dieting master will go to your house on the 24th." Her voice became softer again, "the dieting master also said
, let Miss Jiang Er prepare two snacks with milk and eggs, steam a bowl of egg custard with sesame oil, fry a leek egg, and dried garlic sprouts. If Miss Jiang Er's cook can cook a few things that she has never eaten before
It’s even better if it’s made with eggs, garlic sprouts, etc.”
After saying that, Suwei blushed unconsciously, feeling quite embarrassed for her master's rudeness.
Jiang Yixi hesitated and said, "I don't care about doing those things. I wonder if the prince knows?"
What if Li Zhenbao hid this from the adults in her family and the people in the nunnery?
Suwei understood Jiang Yixi's concerns and said with a smile, "My son-in-law has returned to Beijing. He will be back in a few days and will go to Guizhuang with the little dieting master that day."
Jiang Yixi nodded in agreement. She was a little confused. Li Kai had already said that Prince Yong would send a cook to serve Li Zhenbao. His family's cooking skills were better than the cooks in the palace, so why did Baba come from home to eat these things?
She did know how to make several kinds of snacks with beef and eggs, which she learned from "Shishang" snacks in her previous life. She didn't dare to eat them because they were all made by Dr. Shen. But she didn't dare to show them in front of Li Zhenbao.
After returning to Zhuangzi, she drew several molds for Uncle Wu to make. She thought about changing the shape, changing the name, and slightly changing the method. Li Zhenbao probably couldn't tell.
Nineteen o'clock, Jiang Xun came again with Qin's mother.
They stayed here for a night and played for a long time before leaving.
On the morning of the 22nd, Jiang Yixi, Nanny Wu, and Shui Ling took four gift boxes and snacks and took a mule cart to the Meng family in Linfeng Town. Yesterday afternoon, I heard that the grandson of the Meng family had returned to Zhuangzi.
Wu Yougui drove the car and walked south along the path. The country path was narrow and bumpy, and the mules could not move much faster than people. They arrived in a quarter of an hour.
Mengjiazhuang is much more elegant than Huzhuang, with long white walls surrounding countless houses, green trees and red flowers, and a small river meandering not far away.
The road outside Zhuangzi is wide and flat, leading directly to the official road.
The mule cart passed through the vermilion gate and stopped in front of the corner gate. Several people got off the car, and Wu Yougui knocked on the door and presented a poster.
