Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 305 He is generous

  Knock off the bone marrow of the world, separate the children of the world, and give me the pleasure of one person-Huang Zongxi.

  Yan Shifan, who takes this as his creed, doesn't know what kind of opponent he has provoked for his daily behavior today.

  In short, on this sunny afternoon, on the path of the temple, three high-spirited teenagers walked together, clapping their hands and making oaths.

  When the three of Zhu Ping'an were shut out by Yan Shifan to enjoy the mountain, and they were very ambitious, in the backyard of Linhuaihou's mansion, it was a different scene.

In the courtyard where Li Shu lives, the maids are busy coming and going. The maids are holding exquisite porcelain basins, which are filled with steaming hot milk. Wait for things, and then come and go in and out of the room in an orderly manner.

The Second Miss, the Third Miss and the Sixth Miss of the Hou Mansion were visiting in the yard of the Fourth Miss. The yard of the Fourth Miss happened to be next to Li Shu's yard. The movements in Shu's yard were full of expressions.

   "Ah, it turns out that the fifth sister uses milk for bathing." The sixth lady of the Hou Mansion raised her innocent and cute round face, and said in surprise, her little tiger teeth were also exposed, showing a very innocent look.

"That's right, I'm the fifth younger sister. I bought a few cows yesterday. It turns out that I want to take a milk bath. The fifth younger sister will enjoy life." The second lady of the Hou Mansion, Xian Xianyu, held a handkerchief to slightly cover the corners of her lips, and said softly .

   "Really, I heard that court beauties like to add milk in their baths, but they don't buy a few cows and bathe with fresh milk like Fifth Younger Sister." Fourth Miss of the Hou Mansion also interjected.

   "It's just an upstart." The third lady of the Hou Mansion stared at the courtyard next door with red eyes, and shook her veil disdainfully.

   "Hee hee~~ I think Fifth Sister's skin is as tender and white as snow. Is it just taking a milk bath, or let's try it too." The Fifth Miss of the Hou Mansion blinked her eyes. Very interested in the proposal.

   "Ahem, my monthly money is not enough to wash it a few times. I'll forget it." The Fourth Miss of the Hou Mansion shook her head slightly.

The birth mother of the Fourth Miss of the Hou Mansion was originally just a maid beside Mrs. Linhuaihou, and she was not outstanding in appearance. One day, Linhuaihou was drunk and mistook her for Mrs. Linhuaihou. She pressed her on the bed and accomplished a good deed. Her stomach was quite upbeat, and in one fell swoop, she made a secret knot and ruined Fourth Miss. The maid next to me climbed into bed, how could Madam Linhuaihou be happy, she always made things difficult for her; Linhuaihou didn't take her too seriously because she was not pretty. It was only because she was pregnant that people opened their faces and became a concubine. Father doesn't love her, mother doesn't love her, and she isn't favored by the old lady, so Miss Si doesn't have any other income except the monthly money.

"I don't want animal things. It's full of fishy smell, and only my fifth brother-in-law's bumpkin likes to drive cattle and feed horses! Only the barbarians in the north like to use them, and I don't want to use them." The third lady of the Hou Mansion shook her head resolutely, and said to Li Shu and Zhu Ping'an used language to add sarcasm.

   "The rose petals are here. Huh, are they still fresh?"

   Just as the third lady of the Hou Mansion was sarcasm, she heard a surprised voice from a young maidservant in the yard next door.

   Fresh rose petals?

  The sarcasm of the third lady of the Hou Mansion stopped. Rose petals, milk and nothing. As the young ladies of the Hou Mansion, if they wanted to take a milk bath, they would do so. It doesn't cost much either. But this rose petal is different.

  The flowering period of roses is generally in May and June, and they can only be preserved for about ten days after flowering. In ancient times, unlike modern times, factors such as light, temperature, and water can be artificially controlled, and they can bloom in four seasons. In Daming, there are fresh rose petals in early spring, which means that the roses have been stored in precious ice when the roses bloom in May and June.

   After all the trouble, the price is not cheap.

  In the courtyard of the Fourth Miss of the Hou Mansion, the ladies were all staring at the wall next door, as if they were about to stare at flowers.

  Beauty bathing always makes people imagine.

   Li Shu is even more so when she takes a bath, but the only ones who can enjoy this beautiful scenery are Baozi, the little maid and other maids.

  A well-designed antique wooden bathtub, a delicate beauty with white skin like snow, a pot of frozen flower petals, and a bucket of milk bath soup prepared with a secret recipe.

In ancient times, milk baths were not as simple as pouring milk and rubbing them together in modern times. Instead, they needed secret recipes. Not only did they need to be mixed with an appropriate amount of warm water, but they also had to be mixed with salt, spices, etc. provided by the secret recipe. The technique of removing the smell of mutton is also secret, and it takes many steps to make a milk bath.

   There is a little maid who adds the prepared milk to the wooden barrel, and another little maid who heats water in it to keep the water temperature of the soup bath, while the little maid of Baozi is thinking about it.

   "My uncle went to Wenyuan Pavilion first, and ordered nine dishes, one soup, one jar of wine, and a small jar of wine. My uncle only drank two glasses, and my uncle paid for it."

   "After going downstairs, my uncle and the others went to He Nian Hall to look at the plaque. My uncle seems to be very interested in the plaque. I have been looking at it for a long time."

Li Shu lay lazily in the bathtub, enjoying the service of the maid and maid, listening to the little girl's thoughts, occasionally nodding her head, and then seeing the lady nodding, the little girl became more energetic, and Baozi's face was broken. Get up more energetic.

   "However, my aunt and the others suddenly left again. I heard from Brother Wang that the He Nian Hall seemed to be opened by some kind of chief assistant. My aunt and the others seem to dislike it."

   Li Shu also listened with great interest to Baozi's little maid's journal-like, straightforward narrative.

   "Then, uncle and the others walked forward again, and within a short distance, they encountered a woman who sold herself to save her father. My uncle and the others also surrounded her."

  When Li Shu heard this, she kept her eyes closed to rest her mind, and suddenly opened her eyes.

  " My uncle went to the front, asked a few questions, and then my uncle went to He Nian Tang again. After arriving here, I couldn't help but pursed my mouth. It's twenty taels of silver, and it looks a little painful.

   Li Shu was a little nervous when she heard this, but she didn't show it on her face, and asked, "And then".

   "Then my uncle turned around and left." The little maid of Baozi replied after hearing the young lady's question.

  Oh, turned around and left, counting that stinky toad being sensible, Li Shu relaxed after hearing that.

   "But that woman is really shameless. She chased after her, and even asked my uncle's name and address. She didn't feel ashamed to say that she would serve my uncle as a slave." Baozi.

   "Is it?" Baozi's little maid Xiaozui couldn't help asking with a smile.

  Li Shu heard the laughter in Baozi's little maid's voice, and immediately let go of the worry she had just raised. If this stupid girl can laugh, it means that the shameless little hoof didn't succeed.

   "How to say?" Li Shu slightly hooked the corners of her lips.

   "Geez, uncle, uncle said that the money has been given, so don't worry about it" Baozi said, and he couldn't help laughing, as if he could see the woman's deflated expression.

   "He is generous, and he wasted 20 taels of silver." Li Shu curled her small mouth, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.
