Emperor Zhaode, who was menstruating, not only changed the menstrual belt with a familiar face and a sullen face, but also wrapped himself in a sheepskin blanket with a familiar face and a stinking face. Then he opened his mouth and called Tunan in.

"The chicken feet you grilled with sugar before were good, but they weren't very satisfying to eat. The method is still the same, let's grill a pork knuckle."

Looking at his "girl" huddled on the bed, Tunan nodded in agreement and said:

"Girl, let's eat something light tomorrow morning, so as not to hurt the spleen and stomach again. The wind fish we made before can be opened in the tank tomorrow. Can I steam a fish for you to make porridge?"

Zhao Surui was a little angry when he heard that he was going to eat something light, but when he heard that he was going to have steamed fish, he was a little greedy again.

Tunan specially showed it to him when he was making fish. The plump fresh fish was marinated in a tank for ten days with salt, pepper, Amomum villosum, chopped green onion, sesame oil, shredded ginger and dried tangerine peel. He really wanted to know how to make it.

What does it taste like.

"Okay, steamed fish must also have meat. Steam me two meat buns."

"Yes." Tunan has achieved her goal by coaxing him not to eat meat so early in the morning. It doesn't take much for her to make some steamed buns.

"Girl, you are having your period. Let me add another charcoal basin for you."

Zhao Surui waved his hand: "Putting two charcoal basins is too dry."

"Don't worry, girl. I'll get you two more basins of water and put them next to the charcoal basin. It won't make you dry."

Zhao Surui didn't say yes or no, and sat on the bed with his small heater. When he saw Tunan turn around and go out, he brought two basins of water in after a while.

It was cold and it was difficult to draw water from the well. Tunan rolled up his sleeves and his hands were red from the cold water.

Zhao Surui caught a glimpse of her wet red fingers and suddenly said: "I see you are so strong every day, why don't you also have menstruation?"

After setting up the water basin, Tunan squatted on the ground and divided the burning charcoal in one charcoal basin into two basins. After hearing this, she smiled: "Is there any woman in the world who doesn't have menstruation? It's just that I'm lucky.

, it doesn’t hurt so much during menstruation.”

Hearing that there was a woman who didn't feel any pain during menstruation, Zhao Surui was immediately interested: "How do you not feel pain during menstruation?"

The usually calm maid was stunned by this question. She lowered her head and thought for a long time before saying, "Girl, this is probably innate."

Zhao Surui: "..."

"When girls have menstruation, they usually feel weak. In fact, it's not really painful. It's so painful that you can't even straighten your waist. In the past, Ating was the one in the yard. At that time, Mrs. Sun was beside her.

He said she was lazy and wanted to send her out of the house, but the girl reluctantly accepted her."

Blinking, Zhao Surui frowned. He reluctantly knew that except for the three eldest maids, the little maids were all named after Achi, but he couldn't remember anyone named Ating.

"What about the Atin people?"

Tunan was opening a piece of fragrant dew and was about to pour it into the basin. When she heard his words, she paused with her hands and said:

"The year before last, her mother and I had redeemed her, saying that she wanted to arrange a marriage for her. The girl also gave her something as a dowry, but it turned out that she was in exchange for her brother, and she married a widower in his thirties.

, she became pregnant not long after, and had difficulty in giving birth. She was forced to cut out a son, and he never lived beyond the first month of life.”

Even though he knew that giving birth to a child had nothing to do with him, Zhao Surui couldn't help but hugged Shen Sanfei's belly tightly at this moment.

Dystocia?

Forced dissection?!

hiss--

Stretching his neck, he looked at Tunan: "Where is the person? Just like that?"

Tunan raised her head and looked at him. The candlelight shone in her eyes, giving her a faint light: "Is the girl asking about that son?"

"Who cares about that son? I mean, that little girl died like this? You don't have anyone to seek justice for her?"

The ordinary-looking maid still looked at him, looked at him, and suddenly smiled: "Young lady really doesn't remember anything. It was already the second day that you got the news, so you asked Peifeng to go out of the house to find the doctor.

She treated Ating and managed to save her life. Because the child died, the family that Ating married wanted to sell her and marry another daughter-in-law. So the girl asked Shusheng He to come forward and pretend to be a businessman from Shanxi.

Bought it and secretly sent it away."

After experiencing a catastrophe of life and death, she was able to escape from the tiger's mouth. Others may think that the girl named Ating is already saved, but Zhao Surui is extremely dissatisfied:

"What's that family's name and where do they live? Tomorrow morning... well, let Shao Zhiqing do this kind of thing. You go find Shao Zhiqing now and ask him to find that person tomorrow and bring me his lifeblood.

.And that little girl’s house is not a thing. How many times does a daughter have to be sold? Let Shao Zhiqing beat the whole family up and down.”

Even Tunan, who was always calm, could not help but be stunned at this moment. She put the scented dew steamed with orange peels back on the shelf, and then said with a smile:

"Don't worry, girl, bad guys will always be punished. That family is actually a small official, and there is a small pawn shop at home. I met an out-of-towner who was in a hurry for money, so he took a pair of Mi Fu's calligraphy and paintings from him at a low price. What happened?

The treasure, the family hurriedly sent it to please the Shangguan in order to get a promotion. The Shangguan got the word and sent it to the higher up. After several twists and turns, someone finally saw that the word was fake, and put it back layer by layer, killing the family.

They were crushed to pieces, the pawn shop was gone, the errands were gone, a leg was broken, and the family business was completely ruined. As for Atin's family, they naturally became attached to such a good in-law, and now they are living a good life.

What’s the date?”

Tunan spoke calmly every word, as if she was just telling a joke to Zhao Surui. While speaking, her hands were not idle, and she soaked the handkerchief with hot water from the clay stove and gave it to the girl "from her family"

Wipe your face and hands.

Zhao Surui listened with rapt attention. Usually he would impatiently take it and wipe it off himself, but this time he stretched out his hand and stretched out his head obediently.

When Tunan finished speaking, he patted the woolen blanket and shouted: "How happy! Two evil people were punished by a counterfeiter. Hahahaha. If they weren't greedy and wanted to use calligraphy and painting to seek promotion, how could they have done it?"

Such a happy thing will happen? Hahahahaha! That person who makes fakes is like a thief, grabbing these people's seven inches to deal with them! Those who are greedy for profit will cut off their way, and those who sell women for money will make them unable to do so.

Peace! Have fun!"

When he was happy, he forgot that he was menstruating. He was about to get out of bed when he was erect, but Tunan managed to hold him down.

"Girl, it's better to go to bed early."

"You should have told me about such happy things earlier, but is there anything else?"

Tunan shook his head: "Girl, it is rare to have such a thing in the courtyard of a deep house. It is enough for us ignorant little maids to talk about for half a lifetime. There is really no more."

After tidying up the inside and outside of the house, Tunan walked out of the room with hot water. When she closed the door, she lowered her head and raised the corners of her mouth.

Leaving Zhao Surui lying on the bed, his heart was still scratching his head. He always liked to read collections of stories about heroes and righteousness, and now he wished he could order the Jin Yiwei to dig up and down the territory of Dayong to find the person who forged the paintings.

, I was even more certain in my heart that that person must have known about the little girl’s tragedy and deliberately set a trap for the family.

The thoughts were burning in his heart, and he fell asleep without realizing it. When he woke up the next day, he felt that the cold pain in his stomach had improved a lot.

Emperor Zhaode, who was in a good mood, ate a plate of steamed fish, a plate of shredded chicken, a plate of pickled mustard greens and three palm-sized steamed buns with dried bamboo shoots, and drank two bowls of porridge.

When I went to see the little girls practicing, Peifeng hurried in with a young man.

"Girl, there is news from Cui Jinniang."

Zhao Surui pinched his fingers. Today is the third day since Cui Jinniang left for Yanjing. She has only been staying in Yanjing for about a day. So she has found out the news?

Wrapped in a newly made white rabbit fur cloak, with armbands on his hands in addition to the heater, Zhao Surui walked back to the main courtyard and sat down before letting Ah Chi read Cui Jinniang's letter for him.

The letter sent by Cui Jinniang was quite thick. First, she detailed that she and Mrs. Zhang were now living in half a courtyard at the head of Xiliu Hutong, Guanyin Temple Street, Zhengxifang. It was not far from Pomegranate Lane and there were merchants everywhere.

The main street outside Guangning Gate is not far away, so I decided to rely on her skills to cure women's diseases for a few days. I had already hung up a banner yesterday, and in the afternoon someone came to ask.

Hearing this, Zhao Surui raised his hand and interrupted Ah Chi from reading the letter.

"Women's disease? Menstrual pain? Cui Jinniang, this heroine among women, really has her sights set on a good business."

Achi shook his head at the side: "Girl, Cui Jinniang is talking about other diseases. She is now doing the medicine woman's profession among the three aunts and the six wives."

At this time, Tunan suddenly said: "The area near Guanyin Front Street is full of businessmen, and there are also some secret agents who specialize in recruiting them. Cui Jinniang will indeed have a lot of business as a medicine woman there. She has been in Yanjing City since she was a child.

I went to look for his father in a gambling house, and I thought I knew a little bit about these various religions, so I chose to start this business here."

Zhao Surui rubbed the hand stove in his armhole with some interest:

"Keep reading."

Cui Jinniang's letter then mentioned that she met a "mother" in a secret door yesterday afternoon. This "mother" talked about the three brothers who lived in Pomegranate Lane, and one of the two brothers was a Gongsheng in prison.

, he obviously relied on his family's money to study in the Imperial College, but when he met everyone, he said that he was a son of an official family. He had an uncle who was a bachelor, and he lived in Yanjing City all day long eating, drinking and having fun. He was a somewhat famous dandy.

This "mother" has a "daughter" named Mei Ying. She is only fifteen years old this year. She has beautiful features and plays a good piano. However, she is attracted by the two people here. They come to her door every day.

The harassment was wanted to be paid to Mei Ying, but this "mother" had long been eyeing the wealthy businessmen traveling to and from Yanjing, so how could she think highly of these two libertines? I thought before that the three-level mansion where they lived in Pomegranate Lane was

Their own, they were kind to them. As a result, last month another young man moved to the Shen family's house in Pomegranate Lane. This young man was even younger, only sixteen or seventeen years old. The first two

The brother took him to sit in the courtyard of this "mother". Only then did the mother realize that this young man looked fair and tender, but he was actually a young master who had already won the imperial examination.

Mei Ying saw that this young master seemed to be her own age, and that he was talented and learned, so he got closer when talking. The two brothers in front were unwilling to do so, and they were jealous and started to quarrel in this "mother's" house.

As soon as there was a fuss, the mother found out that the impressive Shen family's house did not belong to the brothers or the young master who came later, but to the married aunt of their Shen family.

"I have some poor girls in my hands. I used to love to dream. I just thought that if I had a brother by my side or married a good husband, I would always have a good ending. How could I have imagined that such a respectable family would occupy the married sisters' relatives?

About my mother’s dowry?”

This "mom" said it carelessly. She pulled up her pants when Cui Jinniang gave her the medicine, but she didn't know that what she said casually was exactly what Cui Jinniang was inquiring about.

With this news, Mrs. Zhang carried some eggs boiled with mugwort in a basket to give away. After a few words, she got more letters. After a quarrel, the three brothers turned against each other.

, the two elders joined forces and drove the younger one out. Now the younger one took two old servants to rent a house outside Andingmen.

After listening to a drama about brothers' jealousy, Zhao Surui raised his head and looked at Tunan:

"Tu Nan, you grew up in the Shen family, do you know who these three losers are?"
