Chapter 203: A Life Saved
"And." Shen Xiangmiao took a look at the porcelain basin and fished out the last remaining section: "But it's a coincidence, there is still such a section." ”
The maid looked at this glutinous rice lotus root and frowned slightly: "It's just a palm, I'm afraid it's not enough to eat." This glutinous rice lotus root is only left in this section? If there is any, they will be taken out, and it doesn't hurt if the price is higher. ”
"Girl, there is indeed only this section left at the moment, and there is no more on the side, if you want to eat, you can only wait for tomorrow morning." Shen Xiangmiao smiled lightly.
"That's a shame." The little maid suddenly made a bitter face: "This Aunt Lan is pregnant, and she is very happy, today someone happened to buy glutinous rice lotus root, but she can eat it, and the master also specially explained that we came to buy glutinous rice lotus, but I am afraid that this small section is not enough to eat, and I will be scolded again when I go back." ”
After saying that, he lowered his head timidly and annoyed, and went to pull the handkerchief in his hand, and his knuckles turned white.
When Shen Xiangmiao heard this, a trace of strangeness drifted through her heart.
This is the case for a maid, life is not your own, it is the master's family, regardless of whether the fault is in you or not, as long as it has not been as the master's will, this reprimand is inevitable, if you meet the bad-tempered master's family, it is also a common thing to be hit by the board.
Shen Xiangmiao suddenly remembered that a few months ago, when she had just crossed over to this time, the Xu family forced the Lu family to sell her, if she was sold to the Zhang family at that time, I am afraid that she would live this kind of life by herself, but fortunately, at that time, the Lu family refused to nod anything, and her fate changed.
Looking back on the past, Shen Xiangmiao was quite emotional, sighed, and suddenly felt a little pity for this little girl.
"It's true that there is no one today, so I can only wait until tomorrow morning. We will open the door in the morning, you come to buy it when you arrive, we remember that the takeaway food has always been limited, one person can buy up to two sections at a time, look at you in a hurry, I will also make an exception, tomorrow for you to prepare three sections, but you had better take a larger food box, I will put it for you at the bottom, so as not to others to see it. Shen Xiangmiao said with a smile.
When the little maid heard Shen Xiangmiao say this, she was greatly moved: "Thank you for this sister, then I will come early tomorrow morning, and I will buy these for the time being." ”
"Hmm." Shen Xiangmiao nodded, took out the glutinous rice lotus root, cut it on the cutting board, packed it in the food box brought by the little girl, and then poured some sweet juice from the soaked glutinous rice lotus root: "I'll put more for you, so that when you go back, it won't taste dry." ”
"Thank you." The little girl thanked her again and again, and after paying the money, she left with the food box.
After walking a few steps, he turned back again: "Sister Lao inquired, did my sister know which store sells this frosted red fruit?" ”
"A few steps ahead, there are sales in the Meng Ji pastry shop in the north of the road." Shen Xiangmiao said with a smile.
"Thank you, sister." The little maid raised her feet and was about to leave.
Shen Xiangmiao suddenly thought about it, and opened her mouth to shout: "Hey, you just said that someone in the family is pregnant, and you take the liberty to ask, is this frosted red fruit bought for others or for this pregnant person?" ”
"Naturally, it's for Aunt Lan, Aunt Lan has been so sour lately, can't eat enough sour oranges and sour apples, we heard that there are new snacks with frosted sugar red fruit in the town recently, so we want to buy some for Aunt Lan." The little maid grinned, seeing Shen Xiangmiao's solemn appearance, she immediately became nervous: "But is there anything wrong?" ”
"I'll say a little more, this red fruit is fine for ordinary people to eat sweet and sour, but if this pregnant person eats it, I am afraid that it will be okay if the body is strong, and if the body is weak and the fetal image is not very stable, I am afraid that it is easy to have a miscarriage." Shen Xiangmiao said.
"Yikes!" The little maid suddenly exclaimed, and was so frightened that she patted her chest again and again: "There is such a layer, I don't know." Aunt Lan's pregnancy is not easy, and the old man has never had a child under his knees, so he attaches great importance to Aunt Lan's fetus, if it is really because of eating this red fruit, I am a real sinner, and I am afraid that I will not be able to live when the time comes......"
The cold sweat on the little girl's face suddenly fell, and she thanked Shen Xiangmiao repeatedly: "Thanks to a kind person like my sister who reminded me today, it can be regarded as saving my life." ”
The little maid was obviously frightened, she was talking with some crying at this time, and tears were rolling in her eyes, which made Shen Xiangmiao feel even more uncomfortable, and said, "This is just a gesture." ”
"It saved my life." The little maid wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and choked up: "I really don't know how to repay my sister......"
"Ruby, what are you doing here?" Not far away, another maid who was dressed almost as Hongyu looked like, but looking at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old person, she shouted at Hongyu.
Hongyu put away the handkerchief in her hand: "This is the Linglong sister who works with me and serves Aunt Lan." It's not early, I have to go back quickly, I have something to remember today, and I'll come back to thank my sister when I come out another day. ”
"You go get busy first." Shen Xiangmiao smiled and patted Hongyu's shoulder.
Such a simple-minded girl, she has a good impression.
"Hmm." Hongyu nodded at Shen Xiangmiao, and walked quickly to Linglong's side: "Sister Linglong." ”
"Okay, why are you crying?" Linglong's melon seed face is very white, but the nose is slightly collapsed, and the eyes are slender, which looks a little mean, and when he sees the red jade's eyes are red and swollen, he is a little impatient: "Did you buy what you bought?" ”
"Glutinous rice lotus root was bought." Hongyu checked the food box in her hand and said, "I heard that the frosted red fruit is not good for the fetus and should cause a miscarriage, so I don't dare to buy it." ”
"Is this the case?" Linglong was obviously surprised.
"Well, if it's a bad thing, then don't buy it, if you don't eat it right, you will blame it on my sister and me, if the master asks, let's make it clear, and it is also for the sake of Aunt Lan and the future young master, presumably the master will not blame you and me." Ruby whispered.
"Well, that's what happened." Linglong nodded thoughtfully: "Then let's go back quickly, it's not appropriate if my aunt is in a hurry." ”
With that, Linglong walked briskly forward, and Ruby followed behind.
The two of them spoke in a loud voice before, close to Shen Ji, and Shen Xiangmiao's hearing was good, so it could be said that she had heard it completely.
But this is just two maids from a big family who came out to buy some things, and there is nothing surprising about it, so Shen Xiangmiao didn't take it to heart and continued to be busy with her own work.
In the evening, Shen Fuhai came to pick up Shen Xiangmiao and Shen Wentao as usual.
"What's in here?" When moving the basket and bamboo basket to the cart, Shen Wentao saw a big burden on the ox cart.
