Poisonous girls are hard to find: the king's arrogant favorite concubine

Chapter 40 Watermelon Watermelon
Ding Jiuxi opened the bag and was shocked when he saw the fruit inside.

"It turned out to be a watermelon!" Ding Jiuxi did not expect this, there are watermelons in this season, and it is a watermelon that has never appeared in this era.

"Miss, what's the bag at your feet?" At this time, Fu Rong and Qiu Yi had already come from the kitchen carrying food.

"Furong, you came just in time, help me carry the bag in together." Ding Jiuxi said when he saw Furong.

Ding Jiuxi and Fu Rong carried the bag into the house together.

"Miss, who sent this winter melon?" When Fu Rong saw what was in the bag, she thought it was winter melon.

"These wax gourds look so strange, they are still round." Fu Rong continued.

Under Qiu Yi's service, Ding Jiuxi washed his hands and prepared to eat.

"Furong, this is not winter melon, it's watermelon." Ding Jiuxi was very satisfied with today's food, including meat and chicken legs.

"Miss, what is watermelon?" Fu Rong looked like a baby with problems.

"Watermelon is a kind of fruit, go and get a kitchen knife, let's taste the taste of this watermelon together." Ding Jiuxi started to eat after saying this, without speaking.

After hearing this, Fu Rong hurried to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.

"Miss, how does today's food taste?" Seeing that Ding Jiuxi was satisfied with his meal, Qiu Yi asked.

Ding Jiuxi gnawed on the chicken leg gracefully, didn't speak, just nodded.

Soon, Ding Jiuxi was full.

"Qiu Yi, in the future, you must give me more meat and vegetables. Miss, I am growing up." Ding Jiuxi felt full after eating.

"Why hasn't Furong come back yet?" Ding Jiuxi discovered that Furong hadn't come back. Although it wasn't close from Jiuxi space to Ding's kitchen, it was enough time for Ding Jiuxi to make a round trip.

"Miss, I'm back." Furong's voice came just in time, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, and she was a little out of breath.

"Slow down, you have a knife in your hand." Qiu Yi took the kitchen knife from Fu Rong's hand and told Fu Rong to rest.

Fu Rong walked up to Ding Jiuxi and said, "Miss, I just heard some news in the kitchen."

"What?" Ding Jiuxi asked.

"Miss, I just heard two maids in the kitchen talking quietly, and I didn't mean to eavesdrop." Fu Rong said hastily.

"What news are you talking about?" Ding Jiuxi wanted to know if it was related to Ding Caiqing.

"Miss, I heard from them that both the Eldest Miss and the Second Miss are secretly buying placentas outside." Fu Rong lowered her voice and said.

"Placenta?" Ding Jiuxi was a little shocked when he heard this.

"Miss, I heard from them that the eldest lady and the second lady use the placenta to eat and for beauty." Furong told Ding Jiuxi what she had heard.

"Damn it! Ding Ruoxue and Ding Caiqing did such a disgusting thing!" Ding Jiuxi said angrily.

Seeing that Ding Jiuxi was so angry, Fu Rong and Qiu Yi fell silent.

"I always knew that Ding Ruoxue and Ding Caiqing were not the same thing, but they even did such a disgusting thing." Ding Jiuxi felt angry when Ding Ruoxue and Ding Caiqing wanted to obtain the placenta.

"Miss, Missy did this, I'm going to tell the master, will Missy punish you." Seeing that Ding Jiuxi was so angry, Fu Rong volunteered to say.

"Don't act rashly. Ding Ruoxue knows that you are the one who informed her. You can't bear her revenge." Ding Jiuxi knew that Furong was doing it for her own good, so she calmed down and said.

"Qiu Yi, cut this watermelon, let's eat watermelon." Ding Jiuxi walked to the watermelon bag, took out a small watermelon, and signaled Qiu Yi to cut it from the middle.

"Yes, Miss." Qiu Yi took a kitchen knife and followed Ding Jiuxi's instructions to cut it open from the middle.

The watermelon immediately revealed the red flesh inside, and the sweet watermelon juice also flowed out.

When Ding Jiuxi smelled the watermelon, he became hungry.

Since Qiu Yi and Fu Rong had never eaten it, they only thought the aroma of watermelon was very good.

"Miss, the red inside of the watermelon is so beautiful, can I eat it?" Fu Rong couldn't help asking.

"It's edible, Qiu Yi, how many times can you cut like this." Ding Jiuxi gestured twice, asking Qiu Yi to cut the watermelon.

Qiu Yi followed Ding Jiuxi's gestures and divided the watermelon into small pieces.

Ding Jiuxi picked up one of the watermelons and started eating.

"Delicious! Qiu Yi, Fu Rong, eat it too!" Seeing Qiu Yi and Fu Rong watching her eating, Ding Jiuxi asked them to eat too.

Seeing that Ding Jiuxi ate one piece after another, Fu Rong couldn't help but picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it.

"Miss, this watermelon is so delicious!" Fu Rong couldn't help admiring the taste of watermelon.

The three of Ding Jiuxi were happily eating watermelon.

That night, Ding Ruoxue's maid found a fresh placenta for her.

"Miss, there happened to be a family that was giving birth, and the maid spent a lot of silver to buy it from Mrs. Wen." The maid presented the placenta to Ding Ruoxue.

"Can this be eaten?" Ding Jiuxi looked at the appearance of the placenta, feeling unable to take a bite.

"Miss, you have to eat this while it is fresh. You can use it for breakfast tomorrow morning, and this maid will find more placentas for you. I guarantee that you will keep your beautiful face forever." Maid girl actually didn't spend any money on this placenta. , Only gave Wen Po one ingot of silver, and Wen Po gave herself the placenta, so she made a lot of money for Ding Ruoxuan.

"Forever beautiful face, this is good, I will have this for breakfast tomorrow." Ding Ruoxue was very happy when she heard the maid's words, no matter how frightening the placenta looked, she decided to eat it, and told the maid to help herself Buy more and don't worry about money.

The next morning, Ding Jiuxi got up early to run in the garden of the General's Mansion.

In ancient times, the air quality was good throughout the day, and of course there was no dust pollution in the early morning.

Ding Jiuxi began to run faster, and of course the time was also lengthening.

"I want to become stronger!" When Ding Jiuxi was running, there was only one thought in his mind, that he must speed up his growth and not let his enemies run free for too long.

Ding Jiuxi returned to Jiuxi Space, changed his clothes, and ate breakfast refreshed.

Although breakfast today consisted of a few steamed buns and a bowl of hot soup, it was no longer steamed buns and pickles.

After Ding Jiuxi finished eating, he was ready for today's action.

"Qiu Yi, are the watermelons ready?" Ding Jiuxi asked.

"Miss, come and take a look." Qiu Yi brought Ding Jiuxi to a room, and saw a lot of plates on the table, and the watermelons that had been cut were placed on the plates.

"Qiu Yi, you really are ingenious." Ding Jiuxi was very satisfied when he saw the watermelon on the plate.

Qiu Yi likes Ding Jiuxi's praise very much, and also feels very happy to be able to cook for Ding Jiuxi.

"Jingqiu and Jingxiang haven't done anything in the past two days, have they?" Ding Jiuxi remembered that there were two maids placed in the yard.

"Miss, the two of them were arranged by me to collect Banlangen. They didn't know Banlangen, and thought that the servant was abusing them. At first, Shizuka was reluctant. The servant said it was for the old lady to dye cloth, so they went. "Qiu Yi reported truthfully.

"There must be a lot of resentment between these two people, and they think they are being asked to pull weeds." Ding Jiuxi still cared about collecting isatid roots, and he was relieved to hear what Qiu Yi said.

"Qiu Yi, go and ask Jing Qiu and Jing Xiang to come in." Ding Jiuxi ordered.

Qiu Yi quickly brought Jiang Jingxiang and Jingqiu in.

"Miss." Jingqiu pulled Jingxiang and saluted Ding Jiuxi.

"Get up. You don't have to pull weeds today." Ding Jiuxi said lightly.

"Thank you, Miss." Jingqiu saluted again and thanked her.

"Huh." Shizuka stood up straight, and let out an imperceptible hum from her nose, thinking that Ding Jiuxi's words of not allowing weeds to be pulled were taken for granted, and she shouldn't be a big maid to do this kind of thing.

"Jingxiang, you continue to pull weeds tomorrow, and Jingqiu will watch Jingxiang pull weeds." Seeing that Jingxiang still looks so proud, Ding Jiuxi couldn't help rubbing her spirit.

"Why?" Shizuka became anxious when she heard it, and asked quickly.

"Because I am the master, you are the maid." Ding Jiuxi realized the benefits of her status and couldn't help suppressing Shizuka.

"What's the use of you, you're just a good-for-nothing lady." Shizuka roared desperately.

Jingqiu immediately took Shizuka's hand and covered Shizuka's mouth.

"Miss, Shizuka is ignorant, don't remember the villain's mistakes, please forgive her." Shizuka pleaded with Ding Jiuxi for Shizuka's mercy with a humble attitude.

Ding Jiuxi looked at the two maids, and said in silence for a while.

"Today, you will go with me to deliver these watermelons to the wives and misses of the various courtyards."

"After delivering the watermelons, Jingxiang will continue to pull weeds every day, until all the weeds are pulled out. Jingqiu, just watch her pull the weeds."

"Yes, miss." Jing Qiu seemed to obey Ding Jiuxi's words.

Shizuka looked dissatisfied, but didn't say much.

Ding Jiuxi let Jingxiang and Jingqiu both taste a piece of watermelon, both of them thought it was delicious, but Jingxiang's expression made people find it unpalatable.

Ding Jiuxi took the two of them, and first sent the old lady a plate of watermelon.

The old lady liked the color of the watermelon very much, so she ate two pieces. Ding Jiuxi told the watermelon that it was cold, so you should not eat more.

Naturally, the old lady didn't eat any more, and asked Ding Jiuxi to try to dye cloth the color of watermelon.

Ding Jiuxi told the old lady that this color is difficult to dye, but it is not impossible.

The old lady asked her to try it.

Ding Jiuxi agreed, and then went back to the courtyard, taking Jingqiu and Jingxiang to each courtyard to deliver watermelons.

When Ding Jiuxi gave the watermelon, he was thanking her for the gift yesterday.

Ouyang Qian, Su Peixin, and Rong Jinxiu all received Ding Jiuxi's watermelon, but they didn't refuse, because they knew that Ding Jiuxi would not dare to harm others so blatantly.

Ding Jiuxi also told Ouyang Qian in particular that eating watermelon can have a beauty effect.

Ouyang Qian put on a generous smile and thanked Ding Jiuxi.

After Ouyang Qian asked the maid to try it first, she took a sip by herself and thought the taste was very good, so she sent the watermelon to Ding Ruoxue.
