Mei Jiqin felt helpless: "Dinner is about to start. If I eat now, won't I get indigestion?"
"What kind of food are you accumulating? It's just a small cake. Sister Mei, you eat too little. Look at your collarbone, you could even raise a fish there."
Mei Jiqin was at a loss for words. What kind of metaphor was this?
You know, compared to before when she was in Wenyue Temple, her appetite has increased greatly now, and she can eat two bowls of rice at every meal.
Desserts and snacks are also available from time to time in the morning and afternoon.
Her old clothes are now a little tight.
But it’s also because the food at the Xue Mansion is so good, and I’m in a good mood every day, so I naturally eat more.
There were six cakes in a box. Xue Huan and the others got one each, and the remaining two were left for Xue's mother and Xue Yao, which was just right.
Ye Mansion, Chunxuan Hall.
Before going to bed, the old lady looked at the dwarf peach tree placed on the high table beside the bed. Among the emerald green leaves were dotted three fragrant pink peaches, which made people salivate just by looking at them.
Thinking of how Xiaoxian stopped her from giving the peach to Sheng'er during the day, she wondered if there was something wrong with the peach.
No, if there was a problem, Xiaoxian would not have given it to me as a birthday gift.
The old lady picked a peach and smelled it closely. The fragrance of the peach made her even more mouth-watering. By the time she reacted, the peach had been bitten open by her.
Old Lady: ...
The peaches haven’t been washed yet!
But now that it's bitten, there's no need to wash it anymore.
The peach was not big and was very soft, the kind that was ripe and soft, so even though the old lady had poor teeth, she could easily bite it open.
The peaches were quite delicious, but unfortunately they were finished in just a few bites.
If she were to describe it, this peach should only exist in heaven, and the fairy peach is no more than this!
The old lady sucked the core of the fruit.
Gurgle!
Suddenly, her stomach started to churn. The old lady looked in pain and hurried to the bathroom.
When she came out of the bathroom, she smelled the sour odor on her body and felt disgusted. She rang the bell at the head of the bed and asked someone to bring in water so that she could take a bath.
The bathroom had a separate corner door that led directly to the small kitchen, where a strong maid would fetch water in batches to fill the bathtub.
The old lady took off her clothes and soaked in the water, and saw a layer of gray-black oily dirt seeping out of the surface of her skin. After rubbing off the dirt, the skin underneath was actually whiter, tenderer and tighter than before!
What was going on? Could it be... the peach she had just eaten?
Even though the old lady had experienced many hardships, her heart could not help but beat wildly at this moment.
After washing three times in a row, she finally washed away all the dirt on her body. When she came out of the bathtub, the old lady did not hold on to the support beside her, but stepped out in one step.
Only when she stood on the ground did she realize that her body was much more agile and lighter than before! It was like she had suddenly become a dozen years younger!
The old lady didn't bother to put on her clothes and went straight to the dressing table. Looking at the figure reflected in the mirror, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Is the woman in the mirror with black hair, fair and smooth skin, who looks no more than forty, really her?
The wrinkles on the neck, corners of the mouth and eyes have all faded a lot!
This is simply rejuvenation!
The old lady breathed rapidly and reached out to touch her face. The skin her fingers touched was warm and delicate. It was indeed real! She was not dreaming!
Looking at the two remaining peaches on the peach tree, her eyes became more burning than ever.
You’ll know if it’s the peach that makes her look younger after trying it.
"Sister Haitang, why are you here? What instructions does the old lady have?"
In the study in the front yard, the servant guarding the door saw Haitang coming and hurriedly went to greet her and ask.
Haitang: "The old lady asked me to invite the master over. Please go in and tell him on my behalf."
The master inside had heard it and came out hurriedly: "But what happened?"
At this hour, his mother specially asked her personal maid to call him over, and the master felt a little uneasy.
Haitang bowed towards the master and said, "I don't know either, but the old lady seems very anxious."
The master did not delay any longer and strode towards Chunxuan Hall.
In Chunxuan Hall, the old lady was sitting alone in the inner room, with a little maid standing guard at the door, opening the curtain.
The master hurried in without waiting for the maid to open the curtain for him, "Mother, are you feeling unwell?"
The old lady sitting on the couch turned towards him. When the master saw her, he was stunned and said, "Mother, you, you..."
The old lady pointed across and spoke in a voice a little younger than usual: "Sit down, let me tell you slowly."
The master sat down in confusion and poured himself a cup of tea to calm himself.
About a quarter of an hour later, the master came out with a peach in his arms and unsteady steps.
When he walked out of Chunxuan Hall, he was blown by the night wind and shuddered all over. He suddenly woke up and quickly quickened his pace to the front yard.
Eat peach, go to the toilet, and take a bath.
The same process as the old lady before.
After taking a shower, the master stood in front of the mirror and felt that he had returned to the peak of his appearance!
The big belly was gone, his body straightened up, and he suddenly looked more handsome. His complexion couldn't be better, his eyebrows were eyebrows and his eyes were eyes.
If it weren't for this opportunity, he would have forgotten how handsome and extraordinary he was when he was young.
The master stood in front of the mirror, admiring it happily for a while, then suddenly remembered that his mother was still waiting for his reply.
Put on new clothes, tie a belt -
Tsk, my belt is so loose now. I’ll have to ask the embroidery room to make me a few new clothes someday.
The master held his head high and came to Chunxuan Hall again in high spirits.
The mother and son looked at each other and saw the excitement and joy in each other's eyes.
After calming down his excitement, the master spoke: "Mother, this peach tree Miss Zhao gave you is definitely not ordinary!"
"You're not the one to tell me. There's only one peach left. Who do you think should get it to?"
The images of his son and grandson flashed through the master's mind for a moment, and then he pressed the key again. There was only one peach left, how could he feed it to two people at the same time?
Then, he thought of his nephew, the Sixth Prince, and the Emperor in the palace...
"Mother, do you think we should offer the peaches?"
The old lady slapped him, "You think our family isn't dying fast enough? If something like this gets out, our family will never have peace. You have to keep this to yourself and don't tell anyone!"
The master nodded in agreement and asked, "What do you say we should do?"
The old lady twirled the coral beads in her hand and pondered for a moment. "Tomorrow, go buy a basket of peaches. They should be about the same size as the ones we eat. Then mix them in with the soup and take them to the kitchen to make a sweet soup. The whole family can have some."
For this kind of thing, every time someone knows about it, there is an increase in risk, so the old lady doesn't plan to let other people in the family know.
One peach was not enough to share, so we made it into soup so that everyone could taste it.
In this way, although the effect is greatly weakened, it is still beneficial, and the reaction will not be as intense as hers. At most, it will be diarrhea.
The eldest master said: "Mom, I will do it tomorrow morning."
Although it is no longer the season for peaches, you can always buy them if you look for them.
After discussing how to deal with the last peach, the mother and son both thought of the person who sent the peach.
