Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 204 Don't Take Risks

Just like Qin Taoxi in the past, with just one person's power, he can disturb the long house so that it is not peaceful all day long.

Today's Second Household looks extraordinary and is in the limelight.Shen Yuechen just threw a small stone into the seemingly calm lake.Although the stone is small, after entering the water, it will still cause a slight splash, and the splash will set off layers of waves... Shen Yuechen took a sip of tea lightly, and pondered: "If it wasn't for my body, I wouldn't get better soon, I won't make such a bad move, it's just a tactic to delay the attack."

Wu Ma understood what Shen Yuechen meant, and hurriedly comforted her: "Miss, don't think too much, even if there is no Xiaotao, there will always be someone else. Miss is doing this for her own sake and for the sake of the uncle." After saying this, She couldn't help but looked at Shen Yuechen worriedly, "Doctor Lu told you before that Miss should not work too hard and spend too much time during her recuperation, why do you have to think so much?"

Shen Yuechen said: "Right now, my situation is a bit delicate. The better the uncle treats me, the more the eldest lady will see me as a thorn in the side. Of course, the best way is to give birth to a son as soon as possible, but according to my present situation In such a situation, if you have to conceive and have a child within a year and a half, it would be too much of a bravado, and if the root cause of the disease falls, or if it affects the child, it will be bad for him, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"

In ancient times, when a woman gave birth to a child, it was like walking around the gate of hell. Whether it was bad or good, no one could predict.What's more, children in ancient times were difficult to raise, and many of them died before they grew up... Back then, Brother Ming was lucky enough to save his life.

Shen Yuechen didn't want to take risks in the matter of having a child, and make innocent children suffer together, so unless she was fully sure of her body, she would never take the risk to conceive and give birth.

Wu Ma held her hand lightly, and said comfortingly: "Auspicious people have their own destiny, miss, don't worry. No matter how bad it is, you still have Brother Ming."

Every time Wu Ma saw Brother Ming and Shen Yuechen getting close, and the last time he actually made a fuss in front of the two ancestors in order to keep Shen Yuechen, she felt relieved for Shen Yuechen from the bottom of her heart.Even if it is not your own, it is better than your own.

Shen Yuechen also smiled when he heard the words, "Yes, I still have Brother Ming."

After a while, Chunming brought over Nanny Song who was in charge of taking care of the flowers and plants in the garden.

"Miss, Nanny Song is here."

When Shen Yuechen heard the words, she immediately collected her thoughts and told Mama Wu, "Mom, go back and have a rest. Let the cooks prepare the dinner. It doesn't need to be too rich, just four dishes and one soup."

Last night, Mama Wu put in a lot of thought, and it was time for her to rest.

Wu Ma nodded and went. When she reached the door, she saw a plainly dressed woman standing there, and she nodded politely.

Unexpectedly, the old lady was serious, with a serious face, and returned the salute lightly.

Wu Ma didn't pay much attention, only to see that Chunming lifted the curtain and let her in to talk.

Cui Xin followed Mama Wu all the way out, and whispered cautiously: "Mom, she is Nanny Song, I heard that she has never laughed... the maids call her the man in the iron mask."

Seeing her talkative, Mama Wu tapped her forehead lightly, and said, "Talky, where did I hear these gossips?"

Cui Xin looked innocent: "Everyone spreads it like this."

Wu Ma patted her on the back, "Don't spread gossip like others in the future, go to the kitchen to see if the egg custard prepared for Brother Ming is ready?"

When Cui Xin heard this, she immediately jumped up and down.Every time she goes to the kitchen, she can always get a lot of snacks.Every time there are leftovers in the kitchen, the cooks will turn them into treasures and make them into delicious side dishes.

Seeing Cuixin poking her head in again, the cooks hurriedly greeted her to come in, "Miss came just in time, there is freshly cooked haggis soup, would you like a bowl while it's hot?"

Cuixin has never been a picky eater since she was a child, and she likes to eat anything, even if it is a fishy food like haggis, she doesn't dislike it, and on the contrary, she can eat it deliciously.

Cui Xin swallowed greedily, first looked at the egg custard steaming on the fire, and said: "Master Ming is going to have lunch, I have to serve the master first."

Wu Ma followed closely, seeing the smell of mutton soup in the kitchen, she frowned and said, "It's noon, what kind of mutton soup are you cooking?"

Chef Zhang took a step forward and said: "The haggis and bones are left over from last night. Now that the weather is hot, things will go bad after a long time. The few of us stewed a pot of lamb soup together. "

Mama Wu thinks so too, the weather is getting hotter every day, many ingredients are not stored properly, they will go bad, and things will be wasted.It would be too wasteful to use ice.

"Since it's cooked, let's eat pancakes in mutton soup for lunch, and make a few pancakes later."

Everyone heard the words and hurriedly responded.

Wu Ma then ordered Cui Xin to bring the custard to Young Master Ming, the custard was steamed just right, smooth and tender.

Cui Xin carefully brought it to Brother Ming, but saw that he had already woken up and was kicking the legs of the table by himself in boredom.

Cui Xin handed the custard in front of him, and said softly, "Master must be hungry, right?"

Seeing her coming, Brother Ming glanced at her casually, then moved the tip of his nose, and hurriedly moved to her, sniffing around, like a curious puppy.

Cui Xin was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Young Master, what are your orders?"

Brother Ming smelled it for a while, then nodded and said: "En, it smells like mutton soup."

Cui Xin looked at him a little at a loss, only to feel that he is really a big kid.

Brother Ming then pushed away the custard in front of him, and said: "You guys drink mutton soup, give me custard, I don't agree."

Cuixin explained: "Master, this custard was ordered by Grandma to make it for you. Those haggis are eaten by low class people, you are not allowed to touch them."

Hearing this, Brother Ming immediately raised his spoon and protested, "I'll eat whatever is delicious? I'm tired of eating custard every day."

Finally, I can no longer have to breastfeed all day, but the things that are turning around in front of my eyes are still the things of these children's homes. It's fine if there is no wine or meat, and I can't even have something to chew on.

Cuixin was so entangled by Brother Ming that she had no choice but to go back to the kitchen and ask Mama Wu for instructions.

When Mama Wu heard that Brother Ming wanted to drink mutton soup, she thought it was very strange.

The nourishing sheep soup is nourishing, but if children drink it, they will not be able to digest it, and it will not be good.

Wu Ma shook her head, she refused, and then she went to serve Brother Ming in person. The two of them, one old and one young, inevitably had a lot of hard work. In the end, it was Wu Ma who won the relief. Seeing him put a bowl of egg custard After eating everything, I just felt relieved.

Wu Ma was the best way to deal with Brother Ming, she didn't coax or persuade, she just sat quietly and waited, even without saying a word, it made people feel pressured.

On the other side, Shen Yuechen asked Nanny Song to sit down and talk, and asked Chun Ming to bring tea.

Speaking of Nanny Song, Shen Yuechen knew very little about her, but it was said that she had worked in the Zhu family for many years, and she could be regarded as an old man of the Zhu family.

Although the job of managing the flowers and plants in the yard is not very respectable, it is still a good job. First, it can sneak away, and second, it can also earn some money.

Shen Yuechen saw that Nanny Song was plainly dressed and her makeup was decent, she looked like an honest and responsible person.

Nanny Song respectfully saluted Shen Yuechen, just now she was secretly surprised when she heard that Grandma wanted to see her.

She is just the person who manages the garden and does rough work. Usually, she rarely has the opportunity to show up in front of the masters. Even if she has something to explain, she only communicates through the maids and wives.

Shen Yuechen said with a smile on his face: "I called Mama over to talk on the spur of the moment. I don't know if it's convenient for you. Is there anything to do at hand?"

After hearing the words, Nanny Song hurriedly said: "Grandma's order is the biggest thing."

She had heard about Shen Yuechen for a long time. Although she was the second wife, she was quite favored.It is said that because of her, the young master who has always been respectful and filial almost fell out with his elders. Come to think of it, she is by no means an ordinary person.

Since he is not an ordinary person, he is also a master who is not easy to get along with.

Shen Yuechen sized up Nanny Song indiscriminately, and saw that she was upright and capable, so she said short and long: "Mommy, I came to you today mainly to talk about things in the garden. "

Nanny Song said with a blank expression: "Grandma, please tell me, this servant is listening carefully."

Shen Yuechen said quietly: "The flowers and plants in the Changchun Garden are luxuriant, and there are often flowers that are invincible in all seasons. I want to ask Madam, how do you usually deal with those fallen flowers?"

Nanny Song was taken aback by her question, and hurriedly said: "Back to grandma, the flowers and plants in the garden are carefully taken care of by special staff, because the flowering period varies from person to person, so the time for flowers to wither varies. The slaves always check every month. Once, and replaced regularly. As for the fallen leaves and flowers in the garden, they are usually cleaned up by the maids every morning and evening."

Shen Yuechen asked again: "Hasn't any of you specially collected flower nectar and flower dew? Also, wouldn't it be a pity to throw away those flower petals for nothing? It would be just right to collect them and make some sachets and sachets."

Nanny Song nodded and said, "Grandma is right. In the past, the maidservants in the greenhouses would regularly collect nectar and dew and send them to the wives and ladies of each courtyard. But now, the wives and ladies use imported ones. Jiangnan products are no longer made in the flower house, but occasionally the maids pick up some clean and untainted flower petals, or send them to the kitchen to make ingredients, or send them to the masters of each room for bathing .”

Ever since Zhu's merchant ships went to Jiangnan to buy goods, the rouge powder and toilet oil they brought back were all famous Jiangnan products.

According to the rules, Shen Yuechen will get a lot every month, but she herself thinks that the taste of those things is too strong, and she doesn't usually use them often, and most of them are rewarded to Cao and the others.

Shen Yuechen nodded, and continued to ask: "Nurse manages the garden all the year round, do you know who in our house can make rouge and gouache?"

Nanny Song was taken aback by her question again, she thought that she just wanted to plant some exotic flowers and plants in the garden on a whim, but she didn't expect that she didn't intend to.

She hesitated for a while, and then said: "If you are proficient, there used to be... beside the eldest grandma Qin Shi, there was a maid named Wenzhu who was very proficient in flowers and plants, and often made some rouge powder for Qin Shi to use."
