Chapter 115 Girlfriends
Mrs. Lin's meaning was already very clear, but she still said that she had to ask Lin Zhu first before she could reply. Mrs. Lin could understand her approach and nodded in agreement. Mrs. Chang then stepped down to find Lin Zhu and the others.
"Madam, this mother Chang is too ignorant. You sincerely invite her, and she will take Qiao." Yuan Xiang, the eldest maid next to Mrs. Lin, said unfairly.
"If such a person is relieved, Lin Zhu can't underestimate him. Without the contract to sell his body, he still has to follow him with his heart. Can he be without some ability?" Mrs. Lin said lightly. "It's unlikely that, how old is she?" Yuan Xiang was puzzled.
"It's not that I am old, I'm not impatient in dealing with people and doing things, and I have a good manners. Although Chang's mother is a good woman, it would be in vain if Lin Zhu doesn't get angry." Mrs. Lin got up from the chair and walked out of the flower hall. "Okay, there's no need to let Zhen'er know about this. Go to the kitchen to see if lunch is ready?" "Yes." Yuanxiang lowered her head and said yes.
Lin Zhu and Dong Yuzhen arrived at her boudoir. The decoration inside could tell at a glance that Mrs. Lin loved her daughter. The yellow rose chair with openwork phoenix patterns, the nanmu mother-of-pearl cloud legs dressing table, the sandalwood carved dripping rack bed, the silver gauze tent, the lake blue slip quilt, etc., are all things that Lin Zhu had seen on TV before. The room was lit with incense, the smell was clear and pleasant. Lin Zhu realized that she had too little knowledge, and this was a lady's room.
"Xiaozhu, what do you do usually?" Dong Yuzhen led Lin Zhu to the table and sat down, and asked the maid to bring some snacks and tea. "Try it, this is the rose lotus paste cake. It is my wet nurse's best snack."
"Thank you, Sister Zhen." Lin Zhu looked at the small rose lotus paste cake, which was made into one bite, and picked up one and put it in her mouth. It was fragrant and soft, although it was a little sweet but not greasy. "How about it? It's delicious." Dong Yuzhen saw that Lin Zhu had finished eating, and handed her a cup of tea. "Well, it's so delicious." To be honest, Lin Zhu is also a foodie, and Nu Hong can't continue to learn. She is very active in studying food, so she wants to try it if there are delicious foods.
"I usually stay in the countryside villages and rarely stay in the county town." Lin Zhu took a sip of tea and diluted the smell in his mouth. "Is there anything fun in the countryside?" Dong Yuzhen had never been to the countryside. Not to mention that she had no water on her fingers, she might have only eaten pork and never seen pigs run away.
"It's fun, that's to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms and hunt." Lin Zhu thought for a while. She either looked at the crops in the fields or played with the vegetables in the yard. If you want to play or go up the mountain, you can go to play.
"Really? I have never hunted people before. I have been to the mountain. But it was a large group of people who followed the temples on the mountain to worship Buddha, which was not fun at all." Dong Yuzhen said with a pout. She also followed the Lin family to worship Buddha. The daughter of a concubine's daughter naturally received not much care, and she had to be careful in her words and actions, so that was a torment for her.
"The small green mountain behind my house is not big. You can still hunt rabbits and other things with Black Dou'er." Lin Zhu's words made Dong Yuzhen very envious, "Hei Dou'er is a dog I raise. Very smart."
"Good, I always want to raise a dog, but my mother just won't let me." Dong Yuzhen felt that Lin Zhu's life was really paradise. "Or I'll go to your place to play for a few days too." Lin Zhu was frightened by her thoughts, and thought to herself that Miss Ai Jin went to my remote place, let alone me, you can't even pass the obstacles of your mother.
Dong Yuzhen's current appearance is so different from the last time Lin Zhu met her in Qiaodiefang. Her quietness and steadiness are gone, leaving only lively and cute.
"Sister Xiaozhu, okay? Let me go too." Dong Yuzhen took Lin Zhu's hand and shook it. "Sister Zhen, I welcome you to go to my place at any time, but you have to ask Mrs. Lin first. If you ask, make a date for me, I'll make arrangements." Dong Yuzhen nodded and let go of her hand, "Well, I'll go and ask my mother later."
"Sister Xiaozhu, who embroidered your screen for you? The embroidery work is so good." Dong Yuzhen took out an embroidery piece for Lin Zhu to see, "You see, this is my embroidered, I think it's already very good, but compared with what you brought today, it's really different."
"That was embroidered by Aunt Qian in my family. Her hands were very clever." Lin Zhu raised her sleeves for her to see. "Look, the patterns on the clothes were all embroidered by her. You embroidered them very well, I don't know at all. I'll prick my hands with my eyes as soon as I took a needle." Lin Zhu picked up Dong Yuzhen's embroidery piece and thought it was really good. The things embroidered at a young age were quite good.
"Can I learn from her? My mother said that she just needs to understand some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it doesn't have to be too outstanding, but this girl is different, it's better." Mrs. Lin learned from her mother's way of teaching Dong Yuzhen. Although she was not her own mother, she treated her averagely. However, Mrs. Lin was scheming since she was a child. When she was with her mother, she read more and learned more and talked less. So most of her steward's skills were learned from the Lin family. Other concubines with the same status as her thought that she could marry with talent and fame, but it was not. So when she taught Dong Yuzhen, she also asked her to learn practical things, such as how to keep the housekeeper, how to look at the accounts, how to date the ladies, and the girl's red ones.
"Okay, after asking Mrs. Lin, just come to my house." This is just a trivial matter, and Lin Zhu won't refuse.
"Hehe," Dong Yuzhen smiled with satisfaction. She gave Lin Zhu a purse that she embroidered, as a little care. Seeing that the bamboo leaves on the purse were very beautiful, Lin Zhu knew that she had embroidered it for herself, immediately took out her purse and replaced it with the one that Dong Yuzhen gave. When Lin Zhu poured out the things in the purse, a small object caught Dong Yuzhen's attention, "Is this a silver purse?" It turned out to be a peanut-like silver purse made during the Chinese New Year.
"Yes, I was beaten a year ago."
"It looks so good. What is this? Why haven't I seen it before?" Dong Yuzhen followed her family to the capital before the New Year, and she had never seen this style. "This is a peanut, not before. Last year, I planted some in the field and thought it was good, so I asked my mother Chang to go to Yinlou to buy a few, and gave them the appearance. I heard that the business is good." Lin Zhu gave Yinlou and made some money.
"But, this one is too big," Dong Yuzhen looked at Lin Zhu's silver peanut the size of a thumb, "and it's too heavy."
"This is not something I give to others, it is something I use to put it in my pocket. I usually don't move in my purse. This will help me to make money come true, hehe." Lin Zhu told the role of this peanut, which made everyone around him laugh. "So that's the case, I want one too." Dong Yuzhen thought this was really fun. The round and rolling look was very festive. Lin Zhu felt that this was not a valuable item, so she gave one to her.
The two of them talked for a while in the room, and the maid came over and said that the meal had been set up, so Dong Yuzhen took Lin Zhu to have a meal. Lin Zhu was invited by her, so the two of them set up a table in her own yard.
Lin Zhu looked at the dishes on the table and knew how the small bumps on Dong Yuzhen came from. She had all the chickens, ducks, fish and meat, but there were very few vegetables. Everything was very delicate and all of them were oily. Dong Yuzhen kept advising Lin Zhu to eat more, but she was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she asked her maid to pick up some dishes for her. Lin Zhu was not easy to refuse, so she had to eat them all, and even Chang's mother next to her frowned.
After dinner, Lin Zhu and Dong Yuzhen walked and chatted in her yard, "Sister Zhen, do you eat these for every meal?" Although Dong Yuzhen is not very fat, eating like this is not healthy after all. Lin Zhu felt it was necessary to remind her. "It's not all this, but I like to eat meat and don't like vegetables." Dong Yuzhen said a little embarrassedly. "Sister Zhen, I don't know whether to say it or not?" "You said." Dong Yuzhen looked at her with her eyes flashing. "Sister Zhen, isn't you?" Lin Zhu said softly in her ear. "How do you know?" Dong Yuzhen screamed in surprise, and then looked around embarrassedly. "How do you know?" She said in Lin Zhu's ear in a low voice.
"See it." Lin Zhu pulled her forward and pulled a little distance from the maids behind her. "Sister Zhen, do you take a long time every time?" Seeing Dong Yuzhen nodding, Lin Zhu asked again, "And it only takes every seven or eight days?" Dong Yuzhen widened her eyes and looked at Lin Zhu like a monster. "How come you, how could you be so clear?"
"Sister Zhen, have you ever asked the doctor about this situation?" Lin Zhu looked at her with a funny look. "How could he ask the doctor? Even my mother was embarrassed to say it." Dong Yuzhen held Lin Zhu's arm, "Good sister, tell me what's going on?" "Sister Zhen, you usually eat too much meat, and you don't like to eat vegetables, so you must have never eaten coarse grains. You eat so finely every day and rarely walk around, so this situation occurs." Lin Zhu said with a smile. "You can eat more vegetables in the future and it will be improved soon. Drink a glass of honey water every morning, which will be better."
"Is that simple?" Dong Yuzhen was a little disbelief. This ummy question had troubled her for a long time, because she had been very proud of her face and didn't even dare to tell her her mother. Who knew that Lin Zhu could tell her that at a glance, and she told her such a simple solution, which was amazing.
"Sister Zhen, although what I said is simple, it will be much more difficult to persevere. First of all, you must ensure that you only eat a little meat and three times more vegetables per meal. It is best to drink some brown rice porridge. You have to persist for one month first. Can it be done?" Lin Zhu asked her seriously.
"This..." Dong Yuzhen hesitated for a moment. It was difficult for her to do this. "If this is not the case, there will be more bags on your face. If it is broken, there will be scars on your face. That will not be beautiful." Lin Zhu told the things that girls fear the most. (To be continued.
