Chapter 1276 Willing to be an ugly girl 3
After three small bowls of porridge, I finally felt better. But this food is still very thin, and you will be hungry soon.
I really want to eat braised pork, big ribs, fried chicken... But this is impossible. Here, the nobles do not eat meat. Even if it is eggs, don't expect to eat them.
Xining swallowed: "Go get some Tang fruit and candied fruits." These nobles can eat it.
"Yes, miss." A-ling's first reaction was to agree and send another maid out to get it. After the death, I came back to my senses. Why did Miss Zun want so much food?
Tang guozi is similar to the later wagashi, a small snack made of various kinds of noodles on the outside, such as glutinous rice flour, flour, etc., and filled with various fillings inside. Each piece is about the size of a sugar cube and is very delicately made, so you won’t need to eat it.
There was a plate of fruit in the room, with five or six pieces neatly stacked and placed in a small square green porcelain dish only as big as a palm. This is the specialty here, very little food and very delicate bowls.
There is nothing we can do about it. If we can’t eat well, we can only improve on the utensils.
After being brought in, Xining sat down and threw pieces into his mouth, and they were gone soon.
"Go get some more." Xining took the soaked hand towel handed over by A Ling and wiped his face and hands. It was water soaked in cotton cloth and flower petals.
Aling was stunned: "Miss, do you still want to eat?"
With this amount, about a meat dumpling is bigger than this small pile of fruits.
Xining said directly: "Then I don't want it." He picked up a candied fruit and put it in his mouth.
"Hey~"
"Go to the kitchen and get some cakes or cakes."
"Ah?" A Ling looked worriedly at Miss Zun who was a little different: "What's wrong with Miss Zun?"
"I'm not feeling well, I'm hungry!" Xining shouted, her cheeks bulging into small bumps: "Why, you don't want to?"
A Ling immediately turned her head and said to the second-class maid behind her: "Go to the kitchen and get some cakes."
Looking at A Ling's head turned all the way around, only the back of her head was visible but not her face, maybe she was winking at the maid or something.
The maid said respectfully: "Yes~" and left.
It seems that we need to sort out the people around us first. As the fifth young lady of the Fujiwara family, she has a wet nurse Ai Ye, a personal maid Aling who is twelve years old, and two maids Natsuki and Natsuki who are eleven years old each. There are also several servants who clean the courtyard and tidy up the house.
Children of the Fujiwara family will live in their own houses at the age of seven, and these people will follow them.
Look at this house, it has an area of 200 square meters, and the furnishings in the house are quite luxurious. And she is just the fifth lady, one of the many children of Mr. Fujiwara, which shows the economic strength of the Fujiwara family.
Xining said leisurely: "Mirror!"
Natsuki immediately knelt down and went to get the mirror.
A bronze mirror as big as a saucer was brought over. Xia Shu held it and knelt down next to it.
Xi Ning looked sideways. A nine-year-old girl, who according to modern standards is still in the third or fourth grade of elementary school, is going to be sent to the palace to be the servant of the King of Heaven, or to marry his own nephew. I really don't know whether I should cry. Still laughing.
Anyway, I have long been used to it. There is no most outrageous thing, only more outrageous things, and Lei Lei is healthier. This is how the world is!
The girl in the mirror is quite cute and beautiful, with almond-shaped eyes, a nose that is not quite straight, but a small and slightly raised mouth, and a slightly pursed mouth. Her complexion was a bit poor, her skin looked pale even in the brass mirror, and her lips had no color at all. Just like in the body owner's memory, he should have the same thin and frail body.
Also, if you only eat two meals a day, there will be no oil or water, and you won't even see a piece of meat. How can your body be better?
Xining waved his hand gently, and Xia Shu took the bronze mirror away.
At this time, there was a sound of birds chirping outside, which was very pleasant. I didn’t know what the bird was. So she said: "The weather outside should be nice. Help me up and sit on the porch."
A Ling quickly helped her up, and Cai Yue immediately went to the hanger nearby to take off the coat called Dugu and helped her put it on. The clothes are very beautiful. A piece of clothes is like a painting, full of flowers and beautiful things. The fabric used is actually copied from Shu brocade and has been passed down.
The fifth lady born to a second wife can have the gorgeous clothes worn by women in the palace, which proves that the owner of the body is actually well reincarnated.
When he arrived at the corridor, Xining took a deep breath. After all, this was ancient times, and there was no industrial pollution in the air full of negative ions. Moreover, the built-in courtyard is extremely elegant and was borrowed from a national garden.
This nation basically has nothing of its own. Everything was either kept as it was or improved after being moved here. Of course, some of it was changed into something nondescript.
The inner corridor is entirely covered with mats, with floor mats placed at intervals. You can lie down anywhere without sitting on the floor mat.
Xining immediately sat down on her side. She didn't want to kneel down anyway. This era has reached the stage of copying the late great powers, where people will soon have to sit on chairs and sit on their knees will be abandoned. However, kneeling here did not end until modern times. Even in modern times, kneeling is still used in some formal occasions.
Seeing her sitting sideways like this, Aling wanted to say something but in the end she didn't.
In fact, she didn't want to sit sideways, mainly because her skirt was too small and she couldn't sit cross-legged.
Because she was afraid that she would be cold, Xia Shu quickly grabbed a quilt, and after she sat down, he wrapped the quilt around her.
Aling breathed a sigh of relief, now she could finally cover up her ugliness.
After a while, a woman in her thirties, dressed in fine clothes, walked over in small steps. What is different from those ladies is that she wears at least eight layers of clothing. And what she wore was four layers, while the twelve singles were five layers or above, so it showed that she was just a domestic servant with a relatively high status.
But even on the fourth floor, it looks very beautiful. On the contrary, it looks light. When the white inner singlet moves with the feet wearing white cotton socks, it is like white clouds rolling, and the more colorful Tang Shang clothes outside are pressing down, and the whole person feels as if he is stepping on clouds.
This is the wet nurse moxa leaf of the body owner, who was born in everyone and is also well-educated. Her family was in decline, she was married, and the child died just after giving birth to a child. She was rejected by her husband and sent back to her parents' home.
When a child from a wealthy family is born, they will not feed it themselves, but will leave it to a wet nurse, so that the wife can get pregnant again as soon as possible.
So after being introduced by someone, she entered the Fujiwara family and became the wet nurse of the fifth lady.
After walking in, looking at Ai Ye's face, Xi Ning's heart tightened and she wished she could go blind.
With a fair face, shaved eyebrows, two dots of moustache, and no rouge on the mouth, it looked white.
Ai Ye knelt down and sat down. When he opened his mouth, he slightly exposed his dark black teeth: "I heard that Miss Zunzi has a good appetite today. I came here to take a look."
As a wet nurse, she was not allowed to blacken her teeth, but Xining knew that her lecherous father might have something to do with the wet nurse. Speaking of Ai Ye's birth, she was considered one of the best, so she allowed her teeth to be blackened.
The corners of Xi Ning's mouth twitched slightly. No matter how small he pursed his lips and no longer moved his lips when speaking, he could still smell a strange smell coming from his mouth.
The water used to stain teeth has a fishy smell in itself. Apply it every three to five times to keep the teeth black. Many nobles with black teeth will "vomit the fragrance" as soon as they open their mouths.
