Chapter 244 I am the first female teacher, you are the first female official
It was dark, and two little maids were peeking out from the gate of the courtyard.
"Why hasn't the lady come back yet?"
"I'm so hungry." Kou Shao wiped her stomach. She had skipped dinner just to drink a big cup of taro ball milk tea.
A graceful figure appeared, and the two hurried over to ask about her well-being. Jiusu smiled and said, "You want to know if you bought the taro balls?"
Kou Shao scratched her head and said, "No, I just miss the young lady."
The night enveloped Qiyuan Courtyard. Zitan lit candles, lighting up the entire place. The wind and rain blew the candlelight from time to time, but the master and his two servants did not care about this.
They are making taro balls.
Steam the sweet potatoes and taro, mash them into a paste, add sugar and flour, knead them into dough, roll them into long strips, and cut them into small taro balls with a knife.
"Zitan, is the fire ready?"
Zi Tan nodded, "Miss, it's all right now."
Jiusu and Kou Shao carried a few plates of taro balls, put them into the pot, and waited for them to float up.
"It can be fished out now."
Wash the pot, pour water, this time it’s time to make milk tea.
Throw the Jiusu into the tea bag, then add milk. After a while, pour the milk tea into the bottle with the taro balls. Gurgling, the steaming taro ball milk tea is served.
It has been completed.
"Drink it."
The two took it and bowed: "Thank you, Miss."
Jiusu inserted a straw and took a sip. The rich taste reminded her of her previous life when she was standing in a milk tea shop and repenting for gaining weight.
She said, "I went to buy sweet potatoes and happened to learn that the shop owner's daughter had been forced to marry. So I followed him to his house and rescued Hu Baozhu from Wei Fu's clutches. Tomorrow, Hu Baozhu will come to visit and try the taro ball milk tea."
Kou Shao sighed, "That's all thanks to this taro ball milk tea."
Jiusu said: "Thanks to you two."
They leaned against the kitchen stove, drinking milk tea and chatting. They didn't look like master and servant, but more like sisters. After drinking enough, they wanted to share this delicious tea.
Zitan and Koushao went to deliver milk tea to the Jiang family and the servants respectively.
Jiusu took two cups of milk tea and went to Qingyouyuan.
Liu'er took the milk tea and was flattered: "I have some too?"
"You've worked hard taking care of your mother. Have a cup of milk tea to warm yourself up." Jiusu saw that her eyes were red, and thought that she must be an intelligent person. He nodded slightly to her and walked into the dormitory.
Yi Hui was reading a book borrowed from the study. She liked these tragic novels very much.
It seemed like she could empathize with these people.
"Liu'er, you have finished reading the books on the table, you can go back." She thought the person who came in was Liu'er, so she didn't look up and continued reading.
Jiusu walked forward and flipped through the book.
"Your eyes are red from crying. How long have you been looking at it?"
They are all harem and backyard be novels.
Yi Hui put the book aside, took her daughter's hand, and pulled her to sit on the bed. She smiled brightly and said, "I haven't read it for long. Yuyu, are you free today?"
Jiusu said, "You can come to me anytime. You can read these books occasionally, but don't read them all the time. It will affect your mood. You are weak and you are so upset that you are crying. How can you get better?"
Yi Hui kept looking at her face and was moved.
"Okay, I'll take note. Yuyu, I heard about your past. I didn't expect you to have such a hard life. The Chen family is so despicable. Do you want me to teach them a lesson?"
Jiusu shook his head, "It's all over."
He explained to Yi Hui the whole story, as well as the current fate of the Chen family.
Yi Hui looked at her and said, "Your godmother is kind-hearted. We can take her back to Shengjing with us."
"We'll ask her if she's willing then." Jiusu was quite depressed. It turned out that the godmother was hers, but she went back when Chen Zhaoyi got into trouble.
That's fine.
The thing a blind old man most hopes for is to have his son by his side. It is a good thing that Chen Zhao has turned over a new leaf and made his godmother happy.
Yi Hui nodded and asked in confusion: "Yuyu, it's so cold outside, why is it so warm without a charcoal fire?"
Even in the Shengjing Marquis' Mansion, there is high-quality charcoal everywhere.
Not half as warm as here.
Jiusu had nothing to hide. She moved the cabinet away and said, "This is the radiator. Feel it. This is the heat being emitted."
Yi Hui was surprised.
"So hot? I've never seen it before."
"Maybe I'm the only one in the entire Xu Kingdom who has it." Jiusu said seriously and softly. As a daughter, she really wanted to grow a pair of thick wings to protect her mother from wind and rain.
Yi Hui covered her mouth and looked around.
The two men squatted on the ground with their backs straight, but they still looked like they were doing something bad.
"Yuyu, don't tell anyone about this. The better the treasure, the more people will be interested in you. Remember not to show off your wealth."
Jiusu helped her up and said, "I've made a note of it."
She picked up the milk tea on the corner of the table, inserted a straw and handed it over.
"Reading goes really well with milk tea. There are taro balls in it, so don't choke."
Yi Hui tasted the taro balls and gave them a thumbs-up, praising them: "They're so sweet and delicious. Was it made by Yuyu?"
Jiusu nodded and briefly explained some production steps.
Suddenly, she raised her head and saw her mother looking at her with soft eyes. "What's wrong?"
Yi Hui's eyes were red as he smoothed out the few strands of white hair among his black hair. He smiled and said, "I've met you countless times in my dreams. So, every time I'm with you now, I feel dazed and wonder if I'm in a dream, because you're just so good, my Yuyu is so good."
It's too good to be true.
In fact, she thought that Yuyu would complain and hate them.
Jiusu asked: "Isn't this good?"
Yi Hui nodded and shook his head, his eyes twinkling. "Okay, very good! But you should blame us for losing you, but you are different. You are sensible, polite, and tolerant. In comparison, I have become the one being taken care of. I am really ashamed."
She stood up and looked at her righteous daughter, already imagining what it would be like to return to Shengjing and wear official uniform.
"I am the first female teacher, you are the first female official, and Yuyu is the best daughter in the world."
Jiusu checked her pulse and found it was steady. Huh, I thought she was sad again, but it seems that this milk tea really has a refreshing effect.
She said, "Mother, the past cannot be forgotten, but the future can still be pursued. Here, it is quiet and away from disputes. Thinking about those things will only add to your troubles. Just have fun here. We can settle some accounts when we return to Shengjing."
"Okay." Yi Hui nodded solemnly in agreement.
Jiusu patted the novels on the table and said, "But, you are not allowed to read these anymore. I will find you some sweet and heyday novels."
Yi Hui curled her lips and watched her favorite novel being taken away, feeling reluctant to let it go, but since it was her daughter's words, she had to listen. Liu'er brought a funny and light-hearted novel.
Liu Er smiled and advised, "Madam, why are you still acting like a child? The Marquis is not here, and the young lady is spoiling you, right?"
"You just tease me."
Yi Hui drank milk tea and thought sweetly of her daughter. Well, her daughter cared about her, so of course she had to listen.
At the door, a servant came up and said in embarrassment, "Madam, Miss Li is clamoring to see you. She said she wants to go back to Shengjing and asked when you will be back."
The smile on Yi Hui's lips suddenly stopped.
She stretched and said, "I'm tired."
Liu'er opened the door, walked out and spoke to the servant.
"My wife is tired. You go and tell her. It's freezing cold and some roads are frozen. My wife is not feeling well. Please wait a few days before telling her."
