Yan Rong sent Madame SHen out of the Jiayu Hall, and only returned to her room after she had left.
The Old Madame Ye raised her hand, and Yan Rong quickly went forward to help the old lady up. She helped the Old Madame Ye into a room, where a double-moon moon cave treasure was laid out on her bed, then took the beauty's satin hammer, knelt on the floor, and began to hammer the Old Madame Ye's legs.
"Get up, let Little Maid do these things." Old Madame Ye slowly said after seeing Yan Rong's actions.
Yan Rong laughed, "This servant is already used to serving old ladies, if I don't do it someday, I would be depressed in my heart."
"You are the only one who is considerate. Unlike them, you are making me worry about you one by one."
Yan Rong was naturally not so foolish as to think that she was talking about a servant. Since it was inconvenient for her to talk, she could only smile and agree with him.
The room quieted down.
Old Madame Ye held her forehead, closed his eyes for a while, then opened them again, "Today, go to Lan Garden, can you tell what's wrong with Girl Lan?"
Yan Rong had already guessed that Old Madame Ye would ask, so she shook her head and said: "Second Miss does not look like she has much energy left, her face is also pale white, but she is not as beautiful as before."
Hearing that, Old Madame Ye nodded slightly, her eyes revealing a look of weariness.
Yan Rong could not help but advise: "Old lady, Imperial Physician Situ said that as long as Second Miss recovers, she will definitely recover. However, you, on the other hand, always take everything seriously. Ever since your return home, you seem to be even more prone to fatigue than on the road.
Since the incident with the Xuzhou, my body has been getting worse and worse every day, and it was also indeed easier to tire myself out. Old Madame Ye sighed, "Now in this mansion, how can I be at ease? I can still hold on for a few more years with this body, but if I can't, it would be better to go earlier. "
Yan Rong's nose twitched, and she advised: "Old lady, where are you from? You are healthy, and only have so many things on your mind, that's why you are like this. As long as you are at ease for a period of time, you will definitely be fine."
Old Madame Ye raised her eyes and looked at Yan Rong carefully. Her eyebrows were bent, although her eyes were red, but it made her eyes look like water.
Unknowingly, the Little Maid serving in front of him had become so beautiful.
Her eyes flashed, and she suddenly asked: "Yan Rong, how old are you?"
Yan Rong was startled, and hurriedly said: "This servant is nine out of ten this year."
Nineteen. If it was an ordinary family, they would have already married and become another person's wife. Even if it was a servant girl, there were very few who had yet to leave their home at this age. The Old Madame Ye sighed, "It's time to think it over for you."
As Yan Rong listened, her heart suddenly thumped wildly.
It was not easy to get the old lady's trust and love from the lowest class of servants. After such a good age, what they wanted was not just to have a supervisor or a Attendant, but to have a son to continue being a Attendant, and then have a daughter to be a servant … Thus, he did his best to serve the old lady without any complaints. Currently, other than the Concubine Shao s, the old lady and the Concubine Ning were not in favor of anyone else. In order to balance the manor, the old lady had become the heir, and she would definitely provide the lord with an imperial concubine.
However, the few servants served by the master were chosen by the Concubine Shao, their looks could not be considered good, if the old lady wanted to choose, she could only choose them from the Jiayu Hall s. Not only must they be loyal, obedient, had good characters and looks, and be easy to handle. There was really no other good candidate other than her.
She was so excited that two streaks of red appeared on her cheeks. She could barely suppress the jubilation in her heart as she lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I only want to serve in front of the old lady."
After the Old Madame Ye heard Yan Rong's explanation, a light smile appeared on her face. She followed her words and said: "Fine, I can't leave you either, I'll keep watch first. If there's anything good, then I'll help you make the decision."
Yan Rong did not think that she would make a mistake, she regretted it in her heart, but it was useless now, so she could only think of another way. The corners of her mouth curled up with difficulty as she continued hammering on the old lady's legs.
When Madame SHen entered the Jin Lan's room, she did not rest, but only leaned on the pillow with the flower, and spoke to Bi He who was sitting beside her, embroidering on a handkerchief, and Wan Ju who was resting on her shoes.
Seeing Madame SHen coming in, Bi He quickly stood up and bowed, "Madam."
Jin Lan was about to get up, but he was stopped by Madame SHen, "Hurry and lie down, don't get up." She took a close look at Jin Lan's expression, only to see that although her face was slightly pale, there was nothing abnormal about it. Only then did her heart calm down.
"Just now at the old lady's place, Yan Rong had learnt the Imperial Physician Situ's teachings, but I was still a little worried, so I came over to take a look." She pulled up Jin Lan's hand. It was cold, but not cold.
Jin Lan had already gotten Bi He to take the pill that he had previously left behind and eat it. It was much warmer now and more comfortable than before, so he laughed and said: "It's much better now. Imperial Physician Situ's recipe is very effective, after a while, it should be alright. She was worried that the Madame SHen would be aggrieved, and continued: "I heard from Yan Rong that mother and the old lady were discussing about the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Madame SHen looked at Jin Lan's serious look, and suddenly laughed: "Child, you always like to worry for nothing, since I came to see you, I have naturally arranged everything properly."
Only then did Jin Lan smile at Madame SHen, and spoke with a tender voice: "I'm only concerned about mother, how can it be for nothing?"
Madame SHen scratched her nose affectionately and said: "If you want to be concerned about me, then you can take away those unnecessary thoughts and rest peacefully. As long as you are well, I will thank the heavens."
Although she was the current steward of the Madame SHen, she had deep roots and roots. Many of the stewards were people that she had brought up, and with the Old Madame Ye watching her from the side like a tiger. Even if the Madame SHen wanted to help her, it would be difficult to find a reason. After working so hard for so long, he had only managed to grasp a few unimportant areas.
However, she did not intend to tell Jin Lan about these matters, lest he worry too much about it.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Seeing the strange expression on Madame SHen's face, Jin Lan could not help but to ask, tilting his head in confusion.
"I'm fine." Madame SHen calmed herself down, gently patted Jin Lan's hands, and said softly: "Rest well. If you need anything, just ask your servant girl to come to Shuixie Pavilion to find me." With that, she gave Wan Ju and Bi He a few more words, then stood up and returned to the Shuixie Pavilion.
After Madame SHen left, Wan Ju and Bi He laid down on Jin Lan's bed, but she had things on her mind, how could she sleep? She just closed her eyes and let her imagination run wild. When the Mama Tang delivered the medicine, she took a sip and almost puked.
Bitter, very bitter, very bitter.
Jin Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the black Medicinal Juice in the blue flower bowl. He felt that the Imperial Physician Situ was using this kind of method to take revenge on her.
Mama Tang saw that she was staring at the medicine bowl in a daze and couldn't help but to say, "Miss, what's wrong? But what's wrong with this medicine? "
"Nope." Jin Lan shook his head, gritted his teeth, and poured the warm Medicinal Juice into his stomach. Then, he clenched his teeth tightly, otherwise, he would have vomited all out. When she thought about how she had to drink three bowls of such bitter Medicinal Juice on time every day, she really wanted to chew the yellow lotus.
Seeing Jin Lan's frown, Mama Tang knew that she was suffering. She hurriedly brought over an exquisite round jar of sweet white glaze cones, opened its lid and took out a candied fruit. She placed it next to Jin Lan's mouth.
Jin Lan opened her mouth and swallowed, a sweet and sour taste spreading in her mouth. Finally, the bitter and numb tongue recovered some of its taste.
Fortunately, Imperial Physician Situ did not expose her little trick, no matter how bitter it was, it was still worth it.
In just a few days, Imperial Physician Situ will arrive at the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The servants of the first class Ye Mansion were all very excited, because this Mid-Autumn Festival coincided with the day of their visit every two months. The maidservants who had already returned home two months ago could only restrain their emotions and concentrate on serving their masters. There was no helping it, since time was of the essence.
Madame SHen had been extremely busy for the past few days. Other than going through all the festivals of the various residences, arranging for people to send them out, she had also started arranging the Mid-Autumn Family feast as well as preparing the stewards for the Ye Mansion. The servant girls and the Attendant s would give him red packets for the holiday bounty, and the stewards and shopkeepers of the shops outside would naturally not be left behind. All day long, Hui Xiu would go in and out with an account book to hold, and every now and then, she would even have to tell her about it with her Jiayu Hall.
Although they had interacted with each other in their past life, she was only nine years old now. Furthermore, in the midst of her illness, whether it was Madame SHen or Old Madame Ye, they would never let her touch their hands.
The Madame SHen calculated the final amount of expenses and filled out the account book. Then, she stood up and stretched her aching arms.
Man Ping brought out a cup of hot tea for the Madame SHen, and helped her knead her shoulders, "Madam, do you need someone to serve dinner?"
She raised her head and looked at the sky outside the window. After thinking for a bit, she said: "Send someone to tell me about it at Lan Garden. I'll go have dinner with Second Miss."
"Yes." Man Ping replied and left.
When Madame SHen arrived at the Lan Garden, Jin Lan had just had his dinner set up. She was worried that Madame SHen would be so busy during this period of time that she made people cook some of her favorite dishes. Mother and daughter had not eaten together for a long time, so naturally it was exceptionally sweet.
After dinner, the two of them were drinking tea and chatting. Hui Xiu carried a Vermillion Painted Food box into the house and first paid respects to Madame SHen and Jin Lan, then placed the box on the table and smiled: "Madam, Second Miss, the moon team made in the kitchen has just come out. This servant has brought some over and wishes to have a taste of it." As she said that, he took out a plate of neatly placed crescent moons from the food box and placed it on a few small tables in front of Madame SHen and Jin Lan.
The surface of the noodle skin was roasted until it was bright yellow, with only a few bites. The noodle skin had been roasted until it was yellow, and the noodle skin had only a few mouthfuls of noodle soup.
Jin Lan looked at it for a bit, then asked Hui Xiu: "What's the filling inside?"
My wife has ordered the peach, pork, sesame seeds, and the girl's favorite bean paste, as usual.
Jin Lan frowned, these were all the dishes he had in the past. He was tired of eating these.
Madame SHen saw that there was no happiness on her face and could not help but ask: "What happened? Lan Er doesn't like it? "
"Not really." Jin Lan shook his head. "I just feel that it's a bit monotonous. Besides, it's like this every year, it doesn't even taste good anymore."
Hearing this, Madame SHen laughed, "This moon is just a response to the scenery, how can you eat so much?"
A light flashed through Jin Lan's eyes. In her mind, she thought of the popular monthly group in the capital. She smiled and said, "I have an idea. This year, aside from these monthly groups, why don't we make some more fruits?"
"Fruits for filling?" Madame SHen was suspicious for a moment, before understanding Jin Lan's idea. His eyes lit up, "This method is not bad, we can try it."
Hui Xiu couldn't help but interrupt, "If you use fruits, you can also use flowers. It's just like the osmanthus cake, it will definitely be delicious."
Jin Lan nodded, then smiled as she held the teacup. In her previous life, the dish she loved the most was the monthly group of the osmanthus stuffing. She wondered how it tasted like now.
