Chapter 1398 Detoxification 1 (October Monthly Ticket Plus 3)
Early the next morning, Manbao woke up from bed, first took out the medicine from the system, found a clean porcelain bottle to put the medicine in, and then took a look at the video recorded by Keke yesterday. She had forgotten that she had overused her brain yesterday. Although her body was very sleepy, her mind was twitching and she couldn't sleep well.
She didn't dare to look because she thought she was going to the palace today.
Manbao sighed, clicked to pay 10,000 points to let Koko keep an eye on the prince, and decided to wait until she came out of the palace and watched the video before deciding whether to continue paying points to keep an eye on her.
Manbao plugged the porcelain bottle and put it in the medicine box. Then he stretched and took the wooden basin out.
Early in the morning, there was a long line in the kitchen for hot water.
After washing up, Manbao patted her face and turned to get water for Mr. Zhuang to wash his face. The three people at the front of the line let her cut in line and went to the back of the line themselves.
Bai Erlang then yawned and lined up behind her. Manbao turned around and said to him, "It's your turn to serve the master tomorrow."
Bai Erlang always felt like he hadn't gotten enough sleep, and tears were about to well up in his eyes. He turned his head to look at Santou and the others who had given up their seats to Manbao and said, "Since you are all studying with the teacher, you have to serve him. This is called "the teacher has things to do, and the disciples do the hard work. Do you understand?"
The three heads said no problem, and the fourth head said, "But you still have to go first. It will still be your turn tomorrow."
Bai Erlang yawned again and asked, "Aren't you all sleepy?"
Santou was used to it. "We're used to it. If we dare to stay in bed, my grandfather will beat us out of the quilt with a fire poker."
He said, "My grandfather said that he can't sleep in even at his age, so why should we, who are young?"
Manbao said nothing, scooped hot water from the pot into the wooden basin, took it and left. She couldn't help complaining in her heart. The uncles and aunts in the village often said that her father was the laziest in their family. When he was young, he couldn't move even if he was pulled, and he would even regress when he was taught. It was all thanks to her mother who raised so many children.
I don’t know how her mother trained her father. Although her father is still stingy, he is not too lazy anymore.
Mr. Zhuang washed his face and hands, handed the basin to Manbao, and thought for a moment, "Be careful what you say and do when you enter the palace today."
Although he didn't know what happened in the palace, Manbao never hid her thoughts. She stayed in her room all day yesterday and looked so haggard. He didn't believe her if she said nothing happened.
It’s just that the children are older now, so he can’t force them to answer.
Manbao opened his mouth and almost told the prince about being poisoned, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth.
There is no point in telling you about this. Instead, it will make you worry. Moreover, if the Eastern Palace knows that you also know about these things, it might be dangerous for you.
Manbao nodded and went out with the wooden basin to pour water.
There is a large stone vat at the corner behind Bai Erlang's house, which is used to store the dirty water after washing. You can pour it into it and use it to water the garden later.
It's dry in the north, so even though they have a well at home, they can't waste water.
Because there is not much water in the well, and it is not as deep as the wells outside, there is often no water during droughts or deep winter. People can only go out to fetch water from the big well outside or buy water from people selling water on the streets.
So since arriving in the capital, they gradually got used to storing water.
Especially since they have a small garden at home, there are many places that need water.
San Ya also brought water to pour. Seeing Xiao Gu gazing at the garden in a daze, she followed her gaze and asked, "Xiao Gu, do you also want to pull out those ugly flowers in the garden and plant some vegetables?"
Manbao: ...
She looked at San Ya in surprise and shook her head, "No, I was thinking that spring is here and it's almost time to enjoy the peonies."
She was thinking about whether she should find a few annoying candidates recently, sell the beautiful peonies to them, make some money, and find a way to buy more flowers, plants and animals that Koko had never seen before so that Koko could collect them and earn points to upgrade.
Its scanning range has increased slightly in the past two years, but it is still not enough now. If the prince goes to a place far away, it cannot be scanned.
Although San Ya also likes beautiful flowers, she prefers more practical ones. "Aunt, I also brought a few wrapped sections of yam vines and ginger this time. Let's buy some medicinal herbs and vegetable seeds and plant them. Then we can make money."
Manbao then said, "Liru, you really look like my second sister-in-law."
Sanya pouted unconvincedly, "I obviously look like my dad."
Manbao turned around with the wooden basin in his hand and said, "I have no objection. You can ask other people for their opinions. This garden belongs to everyone."
San Ya took note of it and decided to ask everyone for their opinions later.
Manbao returned the wooden basin and went into the house to comb her hair carefully. Zhou Lijun, who was passing by, saw this and couldn't help but stop. He leaned against the window and watched for a while before shaking his head, "Auntie, don't bother with that much hair. I'm going to pull it all out of you in a while."
She said, "Wait a minute, I'll come and help you comb your hair."
Zhou Lijun tidied himself up and came over to help Manbao change his hairstyle.
Manbao has a lot of jewelry, all of which were given to her by others. She has hardly ever bought any jewelry for herself.
Some of the jewelry was too expensive for her age, but there was also plenty that she could wear. Zhou Lijun discarded the few pearl flowers she usually wore and started looking again. He chose a string of gemstones and put it in her hair, then asked, "Auntie, why are you dressed so beautifully today?"
"Some people say that to enlighten someone, you have to have something that they notice, so that they are more likely to listen to what you say." Man Bao said, "He has too many people around him who are trying to persuade him with earnest words. I decided to find a different way."
"Honey trap?"
Man Bao shook his head. "The Crown Princess is much prettier than me. This isn't a beauty trap. I just want him to notice me, to look at me more, and then I'll talk to him. But that's not the most important thing."
"So what's the most important thing?"
The most important thing is that she now feels scared every time she enters the palace. The prince's rebellion is much more terrifying than the King of Yizhou's rebellion, especially when she always gets close to the prince.
So she should cherish the time she is alive.
Manbao glanced at the various jewellery in the dressing box with regret, feeling heartbroken. "I was so busy studying that I forgot to dress myself properly."
After all, even if the prince had not rebelled, life in this world is getting shorter every day, so how can we waste our youth?
Manbao picked out a piece of jewelry that she didn't particularly like and stuffed it into Zhou Lijun's hand. She patted her hand and said, "Erya, time flies. You should dress up more often, okay?"
Zhou Lijun looked at the hairpin in his hand in a daze. He was just combing his hair, so how come he got a hairpin?
