Chapter 1308 Willing to be an ugly girl 35
In the evening, a bowl of whole grain porridge was placed on the low table with a plate of spinach.
Now Mrs. Akiko looked curious: "Where does the spinach come from in this winter?"
Akui saluted and replied: "Miss Zunzi ordered a few pots of vegetable seedlings to be placed in all the rooms with braziers. I didn't expect the vegetables to be green and luxuriant. I came back this time and brought some. Tomorrow there will be stir-fried wild goose eggs with leeks."
Mrs. Akiko hurriedly flattered her: "Your Majesty is really filial. He has worked hard so that adults can eat fresh vegetables in winter."
Nozomi Fujiwara could already lean on him and said with a smile: "Akiko, come and feed me a taste."
Mrs. Renzi had always occupied the position of feeding, and Mrs. Akiko immediately happily went over to serve.
When Fujiwara Michinaga took a sip of the porridge in his mouth, he realized that this was no ordinary grain porridge. It contained not only japonica rice, glutinous rice, white rice, black rice, and oats, but also many other things, including sweet potatoes, soybeans, adzuki beans, adzuki beans, etc.
After finishing a bowl, I couldn't help but say: "It is said in the Central Plains of China that one never gets tired of fine food and never gets tired of fine food. Today I have learned a lot about it. I asked someone to bring me another bowl."
Mr. Fujiwara's increased appetite was naturally a symptom of recovery from his illness. This made Mrs. Akiko extremely happy and she quickly ordered someone to go to the kitchen to get another bowl of porridge.
Although Mrs. Renzi had a slight smile on her face, she was cursing in her heart. There are pots in the house to grow vegetables. This is still the residence of a noble lady. I think about food all day long, so I have to shave my eyebrows and keep my teeth clean.
But it's okay, such a woman can't enter the palace of elegance, and she can't enter the palace no matter how much she shows off her filial piety.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lunzi felt relieved. What she wanted was the power in the palace. As for the two mothers and daughters who wanted to compete for favor, as long as it did not affect the status of their daughters, that was fine.
Xi Ning spends every day trying to remember which foods can detoxify lead and which foods can increase vitamin deficiency caused by long-term consumption of polished rice.
In fact, if you become a monk and eat whole grains and vegetables containing more vitamins every day, and do not apply lead powder on your face, your body will naturally gradually improve.
After ten days of busy work in the Fujiwara Mansion, she took her leave after Mr. Fujiwara recovered.
Michichi Fujiwara's complexion is much better than before, and his purple lips have regained a little redness: "Are you leaving now? It's a rare visit, and I'll leave after the New Year."
Xining saluted: "The house is naturally very lively during the New Year, but my daughter is used to being alone. There will be other brothers and sisters accompanying my father."
She was probably still annoyed that Xizi had taken her position. Even if she wasn't angry, Kuanzi would come back when the time came. Given Kuanzi's nature, he would definitely make sarcastic remarks. And Kuanzi is now in the middle palace, and he can't go back. If you really stay at home, you will feel uncomfortable.
I have seen that the fifth daughter has lost some weight in the past few days. She was almost unrecognizable when she first came here. Not to mention she has grown taller and is still very strong. It's better to live in the village. Although I can't bear to leave, as long as it's for her own good, I can go back.
Seeing such a well-behaved and capable daughter, Mr. Fujiwara couldn't help but sigh: "Then go ahead. Just ask your mother for whatever you want to buy, and take care of yourself."
"Yes, Father!" Xining was ecstatic in his heart, but pretended to be reluctant to give up and saluted.
Mrs. Akiko couldn't bear to part with her either. She had been eating and drinking with him these past few days, and she felt much lighter. Both Fujiwara Michinaga and she believed that Takashi had brought them blessings.
But the current situation is indeed good for returning to the bank. This Chinese New Year, the King of Heaven and the Crown Prince may not come in person, but the Middle Palace and the Crown Prince will definitely go home. All the women in the family have to kneel down and salute. Thinking that it was originally the honorable son who accepted everyone's kneeling, but now he is going to kneel down and worship Xizi who has usurped the position, it is better to go back.
Early in the morning, the sky was just getting dark, and the heavy snow that had been falling for days had stopped. The sun shines on the white snow, seeming to bring a bit of warmth.
Mrs. Akiko ordered people to buy a lot of things, all of which were the best products from various stores in the capital. Fujiwara Michizhang also ordered the steward to open the warehouse, select a number of items rewarded by the palace, pack four large boxes and carry them to the car. Mrs. Mingzi held her daughter's hand, and she shed a few tears no matter how hard she held it back. She said, "If you need anything, just ask someone to come over. If you have something to do, don't bear it alone. Take care of yourself. If the maid dares to If there are those who deceive the Lord, I will have them beaten to death.”
Akui, who was wearing a traveling barnacle suit and a hat, stood aside and rolled his eyes secretly. Who dares to bully him? As soon as he walked over, he gave two naughty slaves a slap on the face. Mrs. Akiko didn't see Miss Takashi wearing men's armor and slashing at the servants with a wooden sword.
Anyway, she just listened to what Mrs. Akiko said, and agreed a few times from time to time. After getting in the car, she raised her sleeves and wiped her eyes through the bamboo curtain of the window, pretending to be reluctant to leave.
The wheels of the ox cart finally rolled, and Xining breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to go back.
After arriving at the village and entering the house, Xining hurriedly took off his clothes: "Go and get my cotton-padded clothes, ask someone to light a fire in the pavilion in the yard, and prepare meat." He hasn't eaten meat in these ten days. It really suffocated her to death.
Aling, who was waiting to change clothes nearby, smiled bitterly: "Miss, why don't you first take a look at the things that the master and madam gave to you? How many big boxes are there."
"Anyway, the stuff belongs to me, and it won't run away. I'll look at it when I have time." It was important to eat the meat first. Xining thought for a while: "There seem to be several jars of dipping sauce. Go and dig out one jar for me. Wait a minute. Try it with some meat.”
Even if I feel dizzy, I still eat.
It's the New Year, and sure enough, the Heavenly King Zhonggong and the Crown Prince's wife are ordered to return home. Fujiwara's official residence was extremely lively, but the village seemed much deserted.
Facing the white snow all over the courtyard, the wintersweet and red plum blossoms over there are in bloom. I light a candle in the stone lighthouse, and the white snow sets off the candlelight, illuminating the area. It is really beautiful.
The fragrance of plum blossoms is rich and fragrant, mixed with the aroma of boiled beef, boiled beef...
In the corridor, Xining ate fat beef hot pot, looked at the beautiful scenery in the yard, and sipped the sake with plum blossoms floating in the air. This body is too young to drink too much.
She couldn't help but ask: "Aling, why are you wiping your eyes next to me? Don't say it was the wind that blew your eyes."
A-ling's eyes were red and her voice was slightly choked: "Today is New Year's Eve, but the lady is here alone to watch the night. I feel heartbroken when I see her."
"Oh, really?" Xining's cheeks were red, and he lazily turned over on the floor mat, holding the wine glass and asked with a smile: "I look pitiful?"
He didn't look pitiful at all, he seemed quite happy.
A Ling responded: "That's what the lady is pretending, but she is actually feeling bitter."
What a pain, but I am so happy. If I stay in the Fujiwara Mansion now, sitting at the table of unmarried children will not count, and I will have to deal with the cold arrows of the two main palace sisters and the crown prince's sister at any time.
How nice it is to be here, with meat to eat, wine to drink, and plum blossoms to see on a snowy night.
She picked up a piece of meat with a smile: "A Ling."
"Miss..." As soon as A Ling opened her mouth, a piece of beef was stuffed into her mouth.
