Sometimes the palace is sunny

Chapter 65 Grand Theft
When menstruation came, Emperor Zhaode not only changed his menstruation belt with a green face, but also found a sheepskin blanket to wrap himself in a sheepskin blanket, and then opened his mouth to call Tunan in.

"The chicken feet you grilled with sugar are good, but it's not very satisfying to eat. The method is still the same. Grill a pork knuckle."

Looking at the "my girl" curled up on the bed, Tu Nan nodded in response, and said:
"Then girl, eat some light food tomorrow morning, so as not to hurt your spleen and stomach again. The wind fish you made before can be opened tomorrow. How about steaming a fish for you to serve with porridge?"

When he heard that Zhao Surui was going to let himself eat light food, he was a little bit annoyed, but when he heard that he was going to steam wind fish, he became a little greedy again.

When Tunan made the fish, he specially showed it to him. The plump fresh fish was marinated with salt, Chinese prickly ash, amomum, green onion, sesame oil, shredded ginger and tangerine peel for ten days. He really wanted to know how to make it. What is the smell.

"Okay, steamed fish must have meat, steam two meat buns for me."

"Yes." If she can coax him not to eat big meat early in the morning, Tunan has achieved her goal, and it doesn't take much for her to make some buns.

"Girl, you are having your period, let me add another charcoal basin for you."

Zhao Surui waved his hand: "It's too dry to put two charcoal basins."

"Girl, don't worry. I'll bring you two more basins of water and put them next to the charcoal basin. It won't be dry."

Zhao Surui didn't say yes or no, he sat on the bed with his small stove, saw Tu Nan turned and went out, and brought in two basins of water after a while.

It was cold, and the water in the well was not easy to drink. Tunan rolled up his sleeves, his hands flushed from the cold water.

Zhao Surui caught a glimpse of her wet red fingers, and suddenly said: "I see that you are so strong every day, why don't you see that you also have menstruation?"

After setting up the water basin, Tunan squatted on the ground and divided the charcoal burning in one charcoal basin into two basins. Hearing this, she smiled: "Is there any woman in the world who doesn't have menstruation? It's just my luck , it doesn’t hurt so much during menstruation.”

Hearing that some women don't feel pain during menstruation, Zhao Surui was immediately interested: "How can you not feel pain?"

The usually calm servant girl was stopped by this question, she lowered her head and thought for a while before saying, "Girl, this is probably innate."

Zhao Surui: "..."

"When a girl has menstruation, her body is mostly weak. In fact, it's not painful. If there is such a pain, she can't even straighten her waist. In the past, A Ting in the yard was the nanny next to Mrs. Sun at that time. It is said that she is avoiding laziness and wants to send her out of the house, or the girl reluctantly accepts her."

Blinking, Zhao Surui frowned, he managed to know that all the little maids except for the three big maids were named after A Chi, but he couldn't remember that there was one named A Ting.

"What about the Atin people?"

Tunan was about to open a perfumed dew and pour it into the basin, when he heard his words, he paused before saying:

"The year before last, her mother redeemed her and said she wanted to marry her. The girl also rewarded her with something as a dowry. It turned out that she was married to a widower in his 30s. It didn’t take long before she got pregnant, and it was difficult to give birth, and a son was forcibly cut out, and he never lived beyond the full moon.”

Knowing that the matter of having a child has nothing to do with him, Zhao Surui still couldn't help hugging Shen Sanwas' belly tightly at this moment.

Dystocia?

Forcing? !
hiss--

Stretching his neck, he looked at Tunan: "Where is the person? Just died like that?"

Tunan raised his head to look at him, the candlelight shone in her eyes, with a faint light: "Is the girl asking about that son?"

"Who cares about that son? I'm asking that little girl, did she just die like this? None of you went to seek justice for her?"

The ordinary-looking maid still looked at him, looked at him, and suddenly smiled: "The girl really doesn't remember at all, it's already the second day since you got the news, so let Pei Feng go out of the house to find the doctor Seeing a doctor for A Ting, at least he took his life back, because the child died, the family that A Ting married wanted to sell her and marry another wife back, so the girl entrusted He Shusheng to come forward and pretend to be a businessman from Shanxi. Bought it and secretly sent it away."

After going through a catastrophe of life and death, at least she was able to escape the tiger's mouth. Others may think that the girl named A Ting is lucky, but Zhao Surui is extremely dissatisfied:
"What is that family's name and where does it live? You will... tomorrow morning... just let Shao Zhiqing do this kind of thing. You go to Shao Zhiqing now, and let him go to that person tomorrow and bring me back his lifeblood." .And that little girl's house is nothing, how many times does a daughter have to be sold? Let Shao Zhiqing beat up that family, "

Even Tu Nan, who is always calm, couldn't help being stunned at this moment. She put the scented dew steamed from orange peels back on the shelf, and then said with a smile:
"Don't worry, girl, the bad guys will be reaped one day. The family is actually a petty official. There is also a small pawnshop at home. When a foreigner was in a hurry to spend money, he took a pair of Mi Fu's calligraphy and paintings from him at a low price. It's like this." My baby, that family hurriedly sent it to curry favor with Shangguan in order to get a promotion, and that Shangguan got the word and sent it up again. After several twists and turns, someone finally found out that the word was fake, and pressed it back layer by layer, making the family It was crushed, the pawn shop was gone, the errands were gone, a leg was broken, and the family business was wiped out. As for A Ting's family, they are naturally attached to having such a good in-law, and now they are living a good life. What about the day?"

Tunan's words and sentences were spoken peacefully, as if she was just telling a joke to Zhao Surui, and she didn't keep her hands idle when she was speaking, she soaked the handkerchief with hot water from the clay stove and gave it to "her" girl Wipe your face and hands.

Zhao Surui listened intently, and usually impatiently took it and wiped it away, but this time he stretched out his hand and head obediently.

When Tu Nan finished speaking, he patted the wool blanket and shouted: "Happy! The two villains were punished by a counterfeiter, hahahaha, if they were not greedy and wanted to use calligraphy and painting to seek promotion, how could they Waiting for happy things to come out? Hahahaha! That counterfeiter is like a thieves, and he will take care of them! Those who are greedy for profit will turn off their way, and those who sell girls for money will let them go. Peace! Have fun!"

When he was happy, he forgot that he was having menstruation, and Li Yu was about to get out of bed, but was held down by Tu Nan with great difficulty.

"Girl, let's go to bed earlier."

"You should have told me about such happy things earlier, but is there anything else?"

Tu Nan shook his head: "Girl, it's rare to have such a case in the courtyard of the deep house. It's enough for us ignorant maids to talk about it for half our lives. There are really no more."

After tidying up the inside and outside of the house, Tu Nan walked out of the door carrying hot water. When the door was closed, she lowered her head and the corners of her mouth were raised.

Leaving Zhao Surui lying on the bed, his heart is still scratching his head. He always likes to read the collection of chivalrous tales. Now he can't command Jin Yiwei to dig three feet of the land of Dayong to find the person who forged the painting. In his heart, he decided that that person must have known about the tragedy of the little girl before deliberately setting a trap for that family.

Thinking so hotly at the apex of his heart, he fell asleep without knowing it, and when he woke up the next day, he felt that the faint cold pain in his stomach was much better.

Emperor Zhaode, who was in a good mood, ate a plate of steamed wind fish, a plate of shredded chicken, a plate of pickled mustard greens and three palm-sized buns with dried bamboo shoots and meat, and drank two bowls of porridge. When watching the little girls practice their sisters, Pei Feng hurried in with a young man.

"Girl, there is news from Cui Jinniang."

Zhao Surui pinched his fingers, today is the third day since Cui Jinniang set off for Yanjing, and she will stay in Yanjing for only one day, is this the news?

Wrapped in a newly made white rabbit fur cloak, and wearing an armhole besides the stove, Zhao Surui went back to the main courtyard to sit down, and then asked A Chi to read Cui Jinniang's letter for him.

The letter Cui Jinniang sent was rather thick. First, she explained in detail that she and Mrs. Zhang are now living in a half yard above Xiliu Hutong, Guanyin Temple Front Street, Zhengxifang. The main street outside the Guangning Gate is not far away, and I plan to rely on a little method in her hand that can cure women's diseases to see it safely for a few days. Yesterday, I hung up a banner and went out, and someone came to ask in the afternoon.

Hearing this, Zhao Surui raised his hand and interrupted A Chi's reading of the letter.

"Women's disease? Is it menstrual pain? Cui Jinniang, the heroine of the women's middle school, really has her eyes on a good business."

A Chi shook his head at the side: "Girl, Cui Jinniang is talking about other illnesses, and what she is doing now is the job of a pharmacist."

At this time, Tu Nan suddenly interjected: "There are businessmen around Guanyinqian Street, and there are some secret doors that specialize in soliciting them. Cui Jinniang will indeed have a lot of business as a pharmacist there. She has been in Yanjing City since she was a child. I went to look for his father in the gambling house, and I thought I knew something about these three religions and nine streams, so I chose to start this business here."

Zhao Surui rubbed the hand stove in the armhole, feeling a bit interested:

"Continue reading."

Cui Jinniang's letter went on to say that she met a "mother" in a secret door yesterday afternoon. This "mother" talked about the three brothers who lived in Pomegranate Lane, and one of the two brothers was a Gongsheng who was a prisoner. , obviously relied on the family's money to study in the Imperial College, but everyone said that he was a son of an official family. There was an uncle who became a bachelor. He ate, drank and played all day in Yanjing City. He was a somewhat famous dude.

This "mother" has a "daughter" named Mei Ying, who is only 15 years old this year. She has beautiful features and plays a good piano, but she is attracted by two people here, who come to her door to harass her every day. She wanted to accept it to Mei Ying, but this "mother" had already set her sights on those wealthy businessmen who came and went to and from Yanjing, so how could she think highly of these two rascals?Before, they thought that the three-entry mansion where the two of them lived in Pomegranate Lane belonged to them, and they treated them kindly.As a result, another young man moved to the Shen family's house in Pomegranate Lane last month. This young man was even younger, only sixteen or seventeen years old. The two brothers in front took him to this "mother's" house. "Sitting" in the yard, the mother knew that the young man looked fair and tender, but he was actually a young master who had already won the exam.

Mei Ying saw that this young man was about the same age as herself, and he was talented and learned, so he got closer when he talked. The two brothers in front were reluctant, and they were jealous. After making a fuss, the mother knew that the dignified Shen family's house did not belong to the brothers at all, nor did it belong to the younger son who came later, but to their Shen family's married aunt.

"My hands are full of hard-working girls. I used to love to dream. I only thought that if I had a brother by my side or married a good husband, I would always have a good home. I never thought that such a decent family would occupy a married sister. About the mother’s dowry?”

This "mother" spoke carelessly, and when Cui Jinniang gave her the medicine, she pulled up her pants, but she didn't know that what she said casually was exactly what Cui Jinniang was asking about.

With this news, Mrs. Zhang brought some eggs boiled with wormwood in a basket and gave them away. After mentioning a few words, she got more letters. After the three brothers had a quarrel, they turned their faces Then, the two older ones came together and drove the younger one out of the door.Now the little one took two old servants to rent a house outside Andingmen.

After listening to a scene where brothers were jealous, Zhao Surui looked up at Tu Nan:

"Tunan, you grew up in Shen's family, do you know who these three trash are?"

Tu Nan thought for a while and said: "The two people who have been living in the old house on Pomegranate Lane should be Shen Xianru and Shen Shouru from the family of Mr. Shen. These two are brothers. Shen Xianru is the second son of Mr. Shen who was born to Aunt Qing. Shen Shouru was the third child born to the stepmother of Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen married three times and had five or six concubines. He had seven children in total, and four of them were brought up to adulthood.

"The biggest, Shen Fangru, was born to Mr. Shen's original spouse. He is already over the age. His wife, Mrs. Wang, is the daughter of a juren in Qingzhou. When the Mr. Shen won the exam, it was thanks to the help of the Yue family. It is a pity that Shen did not pass a few years. The Eldest Master started taking concubines, and once there was a quarrel, Mrs. Wang died of anger with her big belly. Before the girl got married, Shen Fangru had already gone to Fujian, and she had no contact with the eldest son of the Shen family for a long time. On the contrary, our master and wife have always missed him. When the master passed away, he came back from Fujian. At that time, the girl was married and met him once. He also gave the girl a pair of crystals inlaid with red jewels. Rabbit added another 200 taels of silver notes as makeup, and said that he really didn't know that the girl married in such a hurry, otherwise he, the eldest brother, would have to prepare a generous dowry. Madam originally wanted to keep him in Yanjing for a longer period of time. For a few days, he never thought that Mr. Shen was going to adopt him to him. He felt ashamed to see his wife and left in a hurry. Afterwards, there were occasional letters, but nothing was seen. Most likely, he was stopped by the Xie family.

"Behind are Shen Xianru and Shen Shouru. The elder Shen wanted to adopt Shen Xianru to the master, and the wife immediately gave Shen Xianru money for the prison. Seeing that Shen Xianru had become a prison student, the elder Shen couldn't bear it. She is still the magistrate's daughter, although Elder Shen has thought about letting him have sex, but there are other descendants in the Shen family waiting to take over the master's property, his mother's family doesn't want to get a bad reputation, so let it go A few years ago, eunuch Zhang fell, and Shen Shouru's mother's family was also convicted. The old man divorced his wife and remarried a rich widow.

"The remaining adult lady is called Mo Niang, a lady with bound feet. Four years ago, she was 16 and married a 30-year-old 'celebrity'. The girl also asked me to pick two calligraphy and paintings as gifts past."

Zhao Surui grabbed a few candied dates and chewed them in his mouth, and smiled while chewing: "A trash father gave birth to a litter of trash, and he has nothing to do except worrying about other people's family fortunes. Where did the little man who won the exam come from?" ? The third bedroom of the Shen family?"

"Yes." Tu Nan picked up the kettle and refilled her cup of ginger tea, "The third master was famous when he was young, and he taught a good pair of sons and daughters. The one who lives outside the Anding Gate should be his eldest son Shen Yan, sixteen this year, won the Juren last year, and her daughter Shen Panqing is only 12 years old."

The daughter of the eldest room is called Mo Niang, and the daughter of the third room is called Pan Qing, Zhao Surui thought in his heart:
"The third room of the Shen family named the girl after Shen...my name?"

"Yes." Tu Nan nodded, "The third master has always been close to the second master. Although he doesn't like his wife's background, he is very kind to the girl. If it weren't for the help of the third master, the wife would not be able to keep these properties. It's just a pity for the third master. His official career is not going well, he has been working as a professor in the Hunan Department of Academic Credit for these years, and his family is also poor, not comparable to the old man who got rich by changing his wife."

Ok?Was Tunan being mean just now?
Zhao Surui raised his head and looked at Tu Nan, only seeing an honest and dull maid.

"Well...the Anding Gate is not far from our Zhuangzi, let's see if Shen Yan is useful."

Zhao Surui stretched his waist, and told Tu Nan:
"Go get ready, tie that Shen Yan over here, practice your hands, and let's be a grand thief too."

　Siri Zhao: I also want to have a Grand Theft Auto addiction!Follow in the footsteps of idols!

　　Shen Shiqing suddenly felt a chill all over her body.

　　Fengyu comes from Gao Lian's "Drinking Food and Food Notes" in the Ming Dynasty, which is a monograph on health preservation and was written in the Wanli period.
