People who think I'm ugly are so sweet

Inside the Yinyan Pavilion, a fresh and elegant fragrance slowly wafted out from the blue and white glazed incense burner. Aunt Dong gently opened the lid of the incense burner, added some spices with a silver spoon, and said, "Second young master really said that?"

The servant girl teased and said: "Isn't that right? I heard from the cook that the meals sent to Wenqiu Pavilion are not allowed to add anything except salt. Auntie, do you think the second young master will know anything?"

Aunt Dong sneered, "Based on that fat pig, what can I know? Besides, my aunt has always provided him with delicious food and drink, and I can't pick out any mistakes, even if he knows something. , so what?"

Lian Cha laughed and said: "Auntie is very right. It's just that the kitchen came to ask, is the meal in Wenqiu Pavilion the same as usual, or...?"

"As usual." Aunt Dong said, "A dog can't change eating shit, I think he can endure it for a few days."

Lian Cha blessed Fushen, "Yes, I will order this servant to go on."

"Wait a minute." Aunt Dong called to stop Liancha, "Madam received a letter a few days ago that the master has left Huainan. Counting the days, he should be home the next day. The master will go to Huainan to control the water, and it will be March when he goes there." , even the [-]th birthday was delayed. The family banquet in the future, in addition to cleaning up the dust for the master, is also a birthday banquet for him. You have to keep an eye on the kitchen and let them follow the menu I prepared. , the ingredients must be the best, if there is a slight mistake, I will definitely peel their skins."

Inside the Wenqiu Pavilion, Xing Nong held a handkerchief and said to Xu Xilu who was washing his face, "Second Master, here are the things you asked for."

Xu Xilu took the handkerchief from Jiudong and wiped off the water on his face, "Has it been disinfected? I mean, has it been baked?"

Xing Nong opened the handkerchief and took out a sewing needle from it, "The servant has washed the needle and put it on the fire for a while according to the second master's instructions."

Xu Xilu turned around and took the sewing needle, facing the bronze mirror, carefully piercing the pimples with white pus.Jiudong on the side was "wow" loudly by Xu Xilu's actions, "Young master! What are you doing, young master!"

Xu Xilu trembled his hands, almost crooked, and said angrily, "What's your name, do you want to scare me to death?"

After all, Xing Nong is a girl's family, and she knows a little about beauty and clothing, and persuaded: "Second Master, do you want to pierce these pustules? The slaves heard from the nuns that the pustules on the face should be healed by themselves, and they should be picked out forcibly." There will be scars and pits."

"It's not good if you take good care of it. The sooner it is broken, the sooner it will be healed." Xu Xilu said while squeezing the pimple.Among them was a big pimple on the upper lip, Xu Xilu almost burst into tears when he squeezed it.Fortunately, although the skin on his face is rough, the pores are still fine. Apart from a few acnes, there are no sunburns or acne pits, which is still curable.Xu Xilu looked at the mirror for a long time, and said to Jiudong: "Jiudong, tomorrow you can go to the garden and ask the woman in charge of planting trees and flowers to see if there are any evening primrose seeds." Xu Xilu remembered that evening primrose is rich in Fatty acid and linoleic acid, its seed essence can inhibit the formation of melanin from the root, hinder the precipitation of melanin, lighten acne marks, and even out skin tone.In the past, he would not have believed in these folk remedies, but now he has no fairy water, nor La Mer, anyway, this face is already so ugly that he can only be regarded as a living horse doctor.

"The young master wants the moon... What kind of flower seeds are you doing?"

"Go as you please," Xu Xilu didn't bother to explain too much, "By the way, bring back a few plants of marigolds and aloe—whose stomach is growling?"

Xing Nong covered her face and smiled, "It's your stomach, Second Lord."

Xu Xilu looked down at his swollen abdomen, and thought to himself, "You're still embarrassed to call me."

"The servant has already brought the dinner, do you want some?"

Xu Xilu nodded lightly, watching Xing Nong take out boiled pork slices, braised lion's head, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and a plate of fried pastries from the food box. "Another green vegetable... Where are the boiled green vegetables and corn I asked you to take?"

Xing Nong was quite puzzled: "The kitchen said that there are no extra vegetables and corn these days."

Xu Xilu couldn't help laughing, "There is extra meat, but no extra vegetables?"

"The whole kitchen is busy preparing for the family banquet in the future, and the servant wants to ask, but no one responds to the servant." Speaking of which, Xing Nong felt a little aggrieved, "I just let the servant take the regular meal from Wenqiu Pavilion and leave."

Xu Xilu didn't want to embarrass a girl, "Got it, go get busy."

"Yes." Xing Nong glanced at the food on the table, then stepped back slowly.

Smelling the tempting aroma of rice, not only his stomach, Xu Xilu felt that every cell in his body was screaming. He took a deep breath, got up and walked to the bedroom, "Jiudong, this is your reward."

"Young Master, why did you reward me again?" Jiudong quickly chased after him, "Young Master has eaten a few vegetables and gnawed a few corns these days, are you really not hungry?"

Hungry, of course hungry!Xu Xilu thought hard.It's just that for him, being hungry has become a habit.Since stepping into the modeling industry, before each big show, he has to go hungry for a few days, what is it if he doesn't eat a meal?Dragging his bulky body, Xu Xilu climbed onto the bed, closed his eyes and told himself that he would not be hungry when he fell asleep.

Jiudong was still muttering to the side, "It's a pity for me to eat such a good thing. Young master, can I take it back to my mother?"

"of course."

Jiudong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and was about to run out when Xu Xilu stopped him, "Wait a minute. I remember you said the day before yesterday that Aunt Dong didn't allow doctors to see me?" During the few days of illness, Xu Xilu was in a coma. Seriously, I don't know what happened.

As soon as this was mentioned, Jiu Dongqi didn't say anything, "That's right! The young master is as hot as a red-hot iron. Xing Nong went to Yinyan Pavilion several times to ask Aunt Dong to find a doctor for the young master. I was blocked by the curtain tea and said that Aunt Dong was ill and should not see people today, and Mingtou said that she went to Qingcheng Mountain to pray for blessings. I really couldn't see it, so I went out of the house to ask you a doctor. The young master usually treats Jiu Dong It’s really not bad, Jiudong can still afford this little money!”

Seeing the young man with his head held high, Xu Xilu smiled and said, "And then?"

"Then, I was stopped by the guards at the gate! They said that without the permission of the masters and wives, no one else can enter the mansion! Xing Nong and I went to Yinyan Pavilion to find someone again, but was pointed at by Lian Cha. Nose scolding, saying that we bring outsiders into the house, we don't know what to do with it. Fortunately, the third lady sent some medicine, otherwise if the young master has any troubles, I Jiudong will fight them!"

Xu Xilu fished out the third lady from a pile of memories.In addition to the eldest daughter of the Xu family who came from the Liu family, the Xu family also had two concubine daughters, both born to Aunt Dong.Miss Xu San's name is Xu Anning, but she is only 12 years old, a lively and active age.That day when she was playing in the garden in the backyard, she accidentally fell into the pond. A group of maids and mothers were in a mess, but no one dared to go down to save others.Just at this time Xu Xilu passed by and jumped into the pond to fish him out without hesitation.Fortunately, there was nothing serious about the two of them, but because of the cold weather and cold water, both of them were infected with the wind and cold.The difference is that after Xu Anning fell into the water, Yinyan Pavilion immediately hired a doctor for her, and after a few doses of medicine, she was almost as good.After Xu Xilu returned to Wenqiu Pavilion, he could only rely on himself to push through.Xu Anning inquired about Xu Xilu's situation several times, whether it was Aunt Dong or the servants, she was given peace of mind to recuperate, so don't ask more questions.The little girl wondered whether her second elder brother was her savior, and she still wanted to thank her. Although she was young, she was getting more and more familiar with human affairs. She knew that Wen Qiuge's life was difficult, so she only drank half of the medicine every time. , and the remaining half was quietly sent to Wenqiu Pavilion by the personal servant girl, and it was regarded as a thank you gift.

Xu Xilu said with a half smile but not a smile: "The third younger sister was brought up by Aunt Dong, and being able to grow up like this is considered a blessing from the ancestors of the Xu family."

Jiudong nodded again and again, "Isn't it?"

Xu Xilu thought for a while, and told Jiudong: "If anyone still asks, just say I'm still sick. I won't go to greet my father when he comes back tomorrow."

"Ah? That's not very good, young master. The master doesn't like you very much. If you don't show filial piety in front of him, he might forget about you!"

"It's not a problem." Xu Taihe has read books for most of his life, but he is also a face control person. When he sees a beautiful woman, he finds it pleasing to the eye, but when he sees an ugly one, he panics.The wife, aunt, young master, and young lady of the Xu family are all good-looking, and even the maids and servants prefer to be pretty and smart.Someone like Xu Xilu is a pheasant among peacocks, Xu Taihe wished he would not see him.

Xu Xilu was almost lying down, and was overly hungry, so he moved the pillow and quilt aside, and began to hum and do sit-ups.He didn't have many requirements for this body, and he was satisfied with fifty at the beginning.Unexpectedly, after only doing ten, the fat on his stomach was shaking non-stop, his brain was congested, and his face was flushed.Resigned to his fate, he lay back down, breathing rapidly, feeling extremely irritated.According to this progress, it will take the Year of the Monkey to lose weight to his original figure.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Xu Taihe returned home.In the spring and summer of this year, there was a lot of rain in the south, and the Huaihe River burst its embankments in many places, causing floods in many places, severely damaged farmland and houses, and hundreds of thousands of people in Huainan had no food to eat and no homes to live in.Flood control has always been the top priority of the imperial court, and this flood made Jinshang decide to drastically restructure the Huaihe River dams.As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Xu Taihe received the imperial edict and went to the Huaihe River to supervise the work in person, and it was an autumn after he went there.

When Xu Taihe returned to the capital, he had to go to the palace to report on his duties before returning home.All members of the Xu family were waiting in Xu's house, and even Miss Xu Changying, who had been married for many years, returned to her mother's house.The female family members of the Xu family were all sitting in the hall. Zhang's Zhang Ruonan was dressed in plain clothes and didn't have too much jewelry on her body. She sat upright on the main seat, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, with a smile on her face, but her eyes looked majestic and energetic .Xie's family, Xie Yao, was sitting beside her, wearing a Danxia skirt and a golden red hairpin on her head. Her face was cold, like a fairy who didn't eat fireworks.

Xu Changying sat at the end respectfully, looking around from time to time, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Anning, who was sitting next to her, asked in a low voice, "Is Eldest Sister looking for Second Brother?"

Xu Changying hesitated for a while, nodded and said, "Third sister, do you know why the second brother didn't come?"

"Second brother is sick."

"Sick?" Xu Changying said anxiously, "It's fine, why are you sick?"

Aunt Dong at the front seemed to have heard something, she turned her head and gave the two men a warning look, they stopped talking, Xu Changying was anxious, but couldn't continue asking.At this time, the boy at the door came to report: "Madam, Madam Xie, the master is back!"

Everyone stood up one after another, but without Mrs. Zhang speaking, no one dared to leave first.Dudu Xie didn't care about the official wife and concubines at all, and was the first to go out in a hurry with the help of the maid.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, secretly looking at Zhang's face.Seeing that Zhang's eyes tightened, but he didn't attack, he said, "Let's go."
