Chapter 671 The necessity of cultivating both blessings and wisdom
Xiao Nuobao suddenly frowned. She felt a chill on her back.
She subconsciously wanted to turn around, but at this time, Feng and the others came back and called Nuobao out with a smile.
"My dear, look what mother brought back?"
Xiao Nuobao temporarily dispelled her doubts and walked out, leaving Xiao Yiquan to Zheng Ma Ma.
When she walked to the yard, she saw several large groups of people like copper tripods placed in the middle of the yard.
Feng came over with a palm-leaf fan and fanned the maid a few times, saying with a smile, "This is called Bingjian. It is said to be a good thing for cooling off in the previous dynasty. The peddler who sells it said that if you put a lot of ice in it and put it in the house in the hot summer, it will be cooler than fanning with ten fans."
Feng Miao's little brain was very smart. In just half a day, he had sold almost all the accumulated inventory.
This morning, the account received at least two thousand taels, which he gave to his mother as a filial gift. Feng was so happy that she bought all the big Bingjians when she saw one on the road.
Li Qiqiao was also excited and came over to choose.
"Mother, the carvings on these ice cubes are different. The one with plum blossom pattern is for Nuobao, the one with blessing and prosperity pattern is for you to put in your room, and the rest, we can choose each other when big brother comes back."
Little Nuobao scratched his head and looked around. He saw that the copper wall of this ice cube was thick and double-layered. It was airtight on all sides, with only a "skylight" on the top. After it was filled with ice, it would not melt for a whole day and could also make the house cool.
In addition to cooling off, if there are fruits and cheeses that cannot be eaten on weekdays, they can be put in and eaten for a day.
Feng bought seven in one go. In addition to one for each child in the family, she also gave one to Madam Zheng.
She didn't even leave out the servants in the outer courtyard. "There are only a few left today. Mother has already paid the deposit. When the ice cream is made, we will buy a few more. Keep two for the servants in the room and put three for the workshop in the manor."
The weather was unbearably hot. Even the masters and employers couldn't stand it, not to mention the big guys who had to be on duty and work.
Although the family is now extremely rich, in Feng's eyes, money can be divided into different levels, but people are the same.
No matter if you have money or not, you are all born by your father and raised by your mother, you have to eat grains, and you have to endure the summer heat and winter cold.
Feng just treats everyone with sincerity. She also believes that people will empathize with others and naturally work hard for the Jiang family.
Xiao Nuobao touched the big ice cube, but his heart was warm and a little happy.
Mother is kind, which can accumulate blessings for the whole family, and the days will be more and more prosperous.
And like Xiao Yi, although he was born with an extraordinary character, he was hurt by the evil spirit, and it is inevitable that he will end up like this.
Thinking of this, the little fat girl exhaled a breath of foul air. Since she was a fairy who came to the world, she certainly knew that everyone had their own destiny, and she no longer worried about Xiao Yi.
In the days to come, there will be no more tricks, and the little fat girl can also run around and concentrate on playing!
As the saying goes, if you have no worries in your heart, you are a little fairy~
And Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Wu also fulfilled their previous promises and took turns taking the little guys out of Beijing to escape the summer heat.
Little Nuobao first followed Mrs. Xiao and her daughter-in-law to the Qingliang Villa in Chengde, where they ate a bellyful of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as crab paste cakes made by Mrs. Xiao.
Afterwards, she took the Wu family's carriage and went to a hot spring bath in the suburbs of Beijing, where she spent three or four days leisurely.
During this period, Mrs. Wu was like a follower, and even slept in the same quilt with Nuobao at night.
This was hard for Wu Qing, the husband. It was rare for the Imperial College to have a day off, but he could only stay alone in an empty bed, and his "rival in love" was a five-year-old fat girl!
But the one who was more "pitiful" than him was the little Siming, who hadn't even grown all his teeth.
Although it was a trip, he was a baby who couldn't walk, so he just lay in his nurse's arms, smelled the sour sweat from her gurgling nest, and passed the time sleeping.
Occasionally, when the baby was tired of sleeping, he would sit on the rocking bed with his little feet bent and sigh, and would be "teased" by the passing little Nuobao with a smile.
Although summer is hot, the good thing is that there are many fresh fruits.
As a little foodie, Xiao Nuobao would carry a fruit wherever he went, take a few bites to leave a row of tooth marks, and then sweeten his mouth.
Sometimes, when she was in a playful mood, she would deliberately put crisp peaches and hard apricots into the mouth of Xiao Siming.
After the little Siming had spent a lot of effort but could only cry because his teeth ached and he couldn't chew a single bite, she would cover her mouth and laugh for a while, and then slip away before the adults came, leaving no "traces of crime".
Seeing that the daughter of the family had become a hot commodity and was taken everywhere to play, Feng kept muttering, "It's good to go out, the house can finally be clean, and I, as a mother, can also rest for a few days."
Although she said so, every time after packing the little fat girl's bag, she would always secretly pack two more clothes for herself.
On the day of the trip, she pretended to get on the carriage casually, and then slapped her thigh and sighed, "Oh, I said I would leave the child to you, why did I get on with you? I'm really old and my memory is not good anymore."
Every time she heard this, the little Nuobao would cover her mouth and laugh for a while.
Mother's mouth is harder than anything else.
She is obviously worried about her and wants to go with her but won't say it directly. She wears a bra all day long, all these things.
It is not appropriate for brothers like Fengnian to go with her, so they stay at home to provide "logistical" support for their sister.
Originally, Li Hutu counted the days and thought that he should come back to teach the princess.
Jiang Fengnian was afraid that his sister would not have enough fun, so he went to discuss with Li Hutu. It would be better to give his sister a long summer vacation like the Imperial College, and resume classes in autumn.
In addition, if someone in the city has new fabrics, or Lan Kwai Fong has a new pearl bag, they will buy it for their sister even if they have to queue up overnight.
It is common to see grown men queuing up to enter the theater.
But it was the first time to see a group of girls squeezed in a line just to grab a small flower bag.
However, even if they were looked at sideways, Fengnian and Fenghu did not blush or feel nervous, and just stood there with their chests and heads held high.
People were curious about how grown men could buy bags.
Then they were also curious about others, why don’t they have a smart and cute sister.
It was really a big surprise!
However, although it was fun to go out and play, it was really a bit embarrassing for the little fat girl.
After going around the capital, even though they were mostly going to summer resorts, they still got tanned.
When they got home, the little girl's egg-white face had become two shades darker.
Looking at her own dark face in the mirror, Nuobao rubbed it in distress. She had even specially worn a straw hat, which was really hard to prevent.
Knowing that the young master's face was tanned, Xiaowu got the opportunity to offer his treasure in the manor, so he rushed to the water tower to get the moon first and asked the rouge master hired by the workshop.
"Master Wang, we feel really relieved to have you in charge of the workshop. By the way, do you know if there is a way to make a girl who gets tanned quickly turn white?"
Xiao Wu said politely while handing over two bags of cigarettes.
The master weighed the cigarettes and smiled from ear to ear. Of course, he was happy to tell him, "There is a way that works, but it's a bit expensive. I wonder if you are willing to spend it."
"As long as it works, please tell me!"
"That's right, pick some unpolished pearls, grind them into fine powder, at least the kind that won't scratch your face, then mix them with egg white and honey, and apply them on your face. Within three days, you will become fair-skinned." The master looked confident.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and he hurried to find Feng Hu.
"Boss, can you get some pearls? We want to make a gift for the little princess!"
After Feng Hu applied to his wife, he got fifty taels of silver, and then he took Xiao Wu to the East Market and bought two taels of small pearls.
After returning, Da Wen and Xiao Wu threw away their arms and took turns grinding the pearls.
When their hands were blistered, the small pearls also underwent a big transformation, and they were finally ground into fine powder without rubbing their faces.
Xiao Nuobao looked at the white powder, her eyes suddenly sparkled, and she went into the kitchen and asked her second sister-in-law for egg white and honey!
She had to apply it on her face at least three times a day!
Feng was so conceited that she kept joking, "Look at you, you're so conceited. You can just stay at home for two more days and you'll be fine. Why bother?"
The little fat girl was so happy that she brought a few big ice cubes and stayed at the farm for three or five days to reward Xiao Wu.
On weekdays, she always applied a white powder mask and wore a big straw hat, which made everyone laugh.
After staying there for a while, her face recovered quickly.
But her butt was in trouble again!
Look, early this morning, she was so annoying that she saw the big goose raised by the widow Gu drinking water by the river. Her legs were split and she was about to ride on its back.
As a result, the big white goose narrowed its eyes, shook its head and bit her hard.
The little Fatty's butt hurt instantly, but she was afraid of losing face, so she had to pretend to be calm.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all, it's okay!"
However, the village chief and Old Li laughed twice, and ruthlessly exposed her little mask.
"Haha, it doesn't hurt yet, it seems that our Fatty has grown up, and it's not the time when my old sow bit her pants and she cried like a little turtle." The village chief patted his legs and laughed.
When Xiao Nuobao heard this, he was instantly defeated, and his little mouth was so angry that it could hang a bottle of oil.
Grandpa Village Chief, why do you always expose people's shortcomings!
However, the pain came up, she could no longer care about complaining, and could only run to the east of the village with a grin, "Grandpa Wu, my butt is in danger, save me quickly!"
Seeing this, the Hu brothers also laughed, they had never seen such a little live treasure.
However, the medicine was only half-applied when Madam Zheng ran to the farm.
"Where is the young master? Your sister-in-law's water broke, and she said she would wait for you to come back to give birth again!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Nuobao ran out, covering half of his buttocks, "Ah? My nephew is coming out?!"
So she didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly pulled Doctor Wu, climbed into the carriage, and went home to cheer for her sister-in-law!
