Chapter 420
"Little one, say hello to the old lady."
As soon as the sedan chair entered Qingsong Courtyard, the servants who had moved in a few days earlier lined up at the gate to greet the "newly appointed old lady of the Hou Mansion."
Lan Xi nodded slightly and let Bai Zhi and Ci Wu carefully help her into the yard, one from the left and the other from the right.
Entering the courtyard, the layout and furnishings are exactly the same as those of the Hou Mansion, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, there is a rockery in the middle of the courtyard, and below it is a large stone pond carved out of stones for fish farming.
There are no fish in the pond, only duckweeds and lotus seeds. The yard is planted with evergreen dieffenbachia all year round. The flower beds are neatly trimmed with grass. When you enter the house, the furnishings are quite simple. Tables, small tables, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and then large carved wooden beds and cabinets.
People in Hou Fu really like the simple Nordic style, I don't know whose aesthetics they are influenced by.
"Old madam, I will help you lie down on the couch."
"Madam, I'm going to get you some water to cleanse your face."
The two maids, Baizhi and Ciwu, hurriedly drove away after entering the room. Lan Xi's face was covered with black lines. These two maids really thought that she was in her late [-]s and couldn't walk or stand up?
"Old lady, why did you throw the fox fur mattress aside again?"
Lan Xi was about to ask Ciwu, what was going on with the people in the courtyard, it was the season of autumn, and they were using fox fur mattresses?Next, I heard Ci Wu keep talking, "Old madam, your health has never been good. The military doctor said that your heart and veins are seriously damaged, coupled with excessive worries, your original constitution is afraid of cold, and now you are all old man." Why are you still acting like a child?"
"The military doctor said that the old lady's disease is the most unbearable. If you don't take care of it now, it will be even worse in winter, and it will drag on for a year. It will be even worse as the days go by."
Cardiac damage?Worrying too much?Physical chills?
When the dog leash heard this, he almost didn't laugh. The owner is doing well now, he is in good health, eats delicious food, not to mention his physique, and can pull out weeping willows casually. If there is a hot pot now, he I can guarantee that the host can eat three bowls of dry rice.
Lan Xi didn't know what to say for a while, she felt resentful and let Ci Wu push her aside the fox fur mattress and make it up again.
"Okay, housekeeper, I'm going to rest."
Ciwu pouted and said, "Old madam, please stop being so angry. I'm just outside. Call me if you need anything."
"Understood, let's go!"
Lan Xi lay down, and asked the sky speechlessly, what was the matter with her spread, and it was the first time that she tasted the feeling of hitting the cotton before her fist was released.
If she could, she really wouldn't mind rushing to the Marquis's mansion to compete with her eighteen daughters-in-law who had been on the battlefield, shedding sweat and blood.
It's much more refreshing than becoming such a first-level protected waste now!
"Dog belt, don't laugh, hurry up and look for information in this world, dig deeper, what is going on with the commissioner, he was scared to death by the rumors."
The dog leash tried his best to hold back his smile: "Decree, I'll do it right away."
Bored on the bed all afternoon, Ciwu pinpointed the time and came in on time to wake Lan Xi up. After Lan Xi finished washing, Bai Zhi brought today's dinner.
A bowl of old hen ginseng soup, a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, a bowl of boiled cabbage and a small half bowl of soft white rice.
Lan Xi took a sip of ginseng soup first, the taste was okay, the vegetables were fried a bit bland, not to mention the cabbage boiled in clear water, there was no oil and salt, no wonder the client's wish included eating all kinds of delicacies from all over the world.
Normally let's eat this every day, who can stand it?
The key is, Lan Xi himself is a carnivore.
"Ciwu, change the recipe tomorrow, the taste of the dish is too bland."
Lan Xi put down her chopsticks after eating a few mouthfuls. Her health couldn't be better now. After a few mouthfuls of ginseng soup, could she say that her mouth was dry and her whole body was hot?
"Old lady, it's really impossible. The military doctor said that you can't eat heavy-tasting food because of your illness. This ginseng soup is the old ginseng that Hou Ye asked to buy from the barbarians in the north. Twelve hours..."
Hey, here we go again, Ciwu is the reincarnation of Tang Seng?It's only been a long time since wearing it, and Lan Xi's ears are getting calloused.
"Then you go and get me a cup of tea." Lan Ximan thought that he would interrupt Ciwu, but unexpectedly Ciwu continued to mutter: "Old lady, tea has antidote properties, you can't drink it"
I go!
Lan Xi's fists were clenched. She really couldn't get through the day. The food was small and unpalatable. Plus a hundred-year-old ginseng soup. One or two meals was okay. If she ate this every day, it was obviously a good way to recuperate her health. How about hang yourself?
If she hadn't sensed the malice in Ciwu and Bai Zhi, as well as everyone in the Hou family, she would really have thought that this was a premeditated murder against the client.
"Dog belt, apart from hard currency, do you have anything to eat?"
"No, I didn't have any troubles in this regard when I was on a mission before. Why should I stockpile food?"
"Start from this world, stock up."
"Order."
After eating the first meal of time travelling, Lan Xi planned to go for a walk in the courtyard, when Bai Zhi outside the house entered the room and said, "Old Madam, the housekeeper brought someone to bring the account book of the Hou Mansion, and said that it was ordered by Da Madam. Also here with the housekeeper is Boss Yuan from Shifang Bookstore on East Street."
"What are you bringing the account books to me for?" Lan Xi asked.
"The eldest lady said that these are the account books from previous years, and it is better to leave it here with the old lady."
"Let the butler carry the things to the hut and put them there, let Boss Yuan come in."
The boss of Shifang Bookstore came just in time. Before the consignors read the scriptures, they bought them from Shifang Bookstore. Boss Yuan must have brought the latest scriptbooks to the client this time.
She has just traveled through time, so many things are not easy to do by herself, so it is absolutely feasible to ask Boss Yuan for help.
"Yes, old lady."
Soon, Boss Yuan was invited into the room, and Ciwu served Boss Yuan a pot of wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea, and silently withdrew.
"Old lady, a few days ago you ordered the book in the small store, it was published and it was very popular as soon as it hit the shelves. No, the little one left two copies for you and delivered them to you personally."
As soon as Boss Yuan entered the room, his mouth almost cracked with laughter. Lan Xi, the owner of the bookshop, had seen a lot, and he had a bit of a bookish air about him. Apart from a little bookish air, Boss Yuan was more shrewd as a businessman.
Moreover, Boss Yuan looks a little different from the people she has seen in this world. He has a high nose bridge, big eyes, deep eye sockets, and his pupils are a little blue. At first glance, he looks like an ancient version of a mixed race.
