Without exception, Zheng Xiu still asked Qiu Rui to say that the wheelchair was found by Xue Zhi from outside.
Qiu Rui and others tried it outside and saw that the wheelchair was indeed very stable and convenient, so they pushed it into the inner room.
Princess Guihe asked Qiu Rui to call Zheng Xiu in soon.
Zheng Xiu stood outside the screen and greeted her, and then she heard Princess Guihe say, "This, this is another one you came up with?" When Zheng Xiu heard it, she knew that her "lie" had been exposed.
Princess Guihe was not stupid either. Zheng Xiu had sent two rehabilitation equipment before, and she did not have time to testify with Xue Zhi. In the evening, after Xue Zhi returned home, he came to Changfeng Garden first. Princess Guihe asked about it. He was not good at lying, so he hesitantly admitted it, but Princess Guihe saw through it.
That day, Qiu Rui said that Xue Zhi had found a more complicated wheelchair. She immediately guessed that it was Zheng Xiu who made it.
Since she was seen through, Zheng Xiu did not try to hide it and said, "It was indeed my idea, but I came up with the idea. It was indeed Ah Zhi who drew the blueprint and urged the carpenter to make it. It was mainly him who made it."
Princess Guihe had a better impression of her. If it were someone else, they would definitely rush to take credit for making such a few great things. But Zheng Xiu was strange. She was eager to get rid of it.
Princess Guihe was silent for a moment and said, "It's sunny outside."
Zheng Xiu didn't understand and said, "Yes, it's especially warm today. The poppies and butterfly flowers in your yard are in full bloom."
She didn't understand, but Qiu Rui had served Princess Guihe for many years and knew her thoughts best. She said, "I'll let you go out to bask in the sun, so as not to waste this beautiful spring day."
Princess Guihe nodded without saying a word.
Qiu Rui spread a thick cashmere blanket on the wheelchair, pushed the wheelchair to the front of the bed, and helped Princess Guihe sit on it with the old nanny. The old nanny also took a thin blanket and put it on her legs. The wheels of the wheelchair rumbled, and Qiu Rui pushed Princess Guihe out of the inner room.
Zheng Xiu naturally followed behind.
When the wheelchair was pushed to the door, it took several people to lift her down the steps.
The old nanny was very old, and the maids in Changfeng Garden were all raised like young ladies, so they didn't have much strength.
Zheng Xiu was used to doing chores at home, and her strength could not compare with men, but it was stronger than that of ordinary women, so she took the initiative to help. She asked the maids to shout "one, two, one" together, and work together to lift Princess Guihe on the wheelchair to the steps.
The steps of Changfeng Garden were not short, and everyone was sweating after a lot of effort.
Zheng Xiu wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief and said, "Next time, find a piece of wood and throw it on this staircase. We only need to lift the wheelchair to the wooden board hill and slide all the way." Qiu Rui smiled and said, "Second Madam is very thoughtful. I'll ask people to measure the size and do it later."
Princess Guihe pouted under her veil, thinking that it was just a little cleverness. When did Qiu Rui praise others so easily?
Little did she know that although the servants around her were loyal and considerate. But after all, they grew up under the oppression of the current feudal system. They were used to listening to orders and were no longer good at thinking spontaneously. Therefore, Zheng Xiu's novel ideas sounded very novel and rare to them.
Princess Guihe hasn't been out for many days. After her face recovered in the past few days, she didn't want to stay alone in the room. It was just that she had difficulty in moving, and it was embarrassing for her to be supported by someone or use a cane. She didn't want to be seen. With this wheelchair, it was convenient. She just had to sit on it and let someone push her, and no one could notice the difference in her body shape.
The maids brought out tables and chairs from the room, served tea and snacks, and Zheng Xiu also sat down next to Princess Guihe.
Princess Guihe thought to herself that her subordinates had been doing their best for Zheng Xiu in the past few days. She, as the master, didn't even say a word, and they just knew how to serve Zheng Xiu. But then she thought, forget it, since Zheng Xiu tried so hard for her and was not that annoying, she should just appreciate her decency.
They sat there until noon.
Qiu Rui pushed Princess Guihe for a stroll in the yard, while Zheng Xiu basked in the sun, drank tea and ate snacks. Until Xue Mian came back from the front and found his mother in the yard, he ran over with a smile and said, "Mom, you went out of the house? Hey, what kind of chair are you sitting on? How can it move?"
He asked very quickly, and Princess Guihe could not answer, so Qiu Rui helped to explain.
Hearing that it was Zheng Xiu who came up with it, Xue Mian ran to her again and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, second aunt, you've taken a lot of trouble."
Zheng Xiu touched his head and asked with a smile, "Mian is so good. Let second aunt take a look, is the injury on your eye better?"
Xue Mian raised his little face and let her take a look. The swelling on his eye was no longer there, but the purple mark was still there, but it didn't hurt anymore. The doctor said that when the mark disappeared, his injury would be completely healed.
Zheng Xiu then asked him what book he had read in front that day, what he played with Xue Shao, and whether he made the teacher angry.
Xue Mian had been staying in Changfeng Garden to accompany his mother every day these days. He was worried that he had no one to talk to, so when Zheng Xiu asked, he told her everything. She also said that she had been particularly well-behaved in the past two days and had received several compliments from the master.
Princess Guihe was listening quietly beside him. She actually wanted to ask Xue Mian if he was doing well during this period, but she still couldn't speak clearly. Xue Mian was a child and had limited understanding. She tried to communicate with him several times, but it was always a mess. So she simply stopped asking him and asked the servants about his situation. But in the end, it still didn't sound good when he said it.
Xue Mian spoke and gestured, and spoke excitedly for a long time. After finishing a long string of words, he took two gulps of tea, scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Second aunt, don't think I talk too much."
Zheng Xiu smiled and said: "How could it be, Second aunt likes to listen to Brother Mian talking."
Xue Mian chuckled and turned to his mother and asked: "Mom, you heard it too, I'm fine now, you take good care of your health and don't worry about me anymore." It turned out that on the one hand, no one had spoken for a long time, and on the other hand, it was for Princess Guihe to hear.
Princess Guihe didn't expect that her illness would make the child grow up and become much more obedient. Hearing Xue Mian say this, she felt particularly relieved and said: "Mom, I know."
Zheng Xiu looked at their loving mother and filial son getting along, and couldn't help but smile more.
It was almost noon, and it was time for lunch. Zheng Xiu stood up and prepared to say goodbye and go back to Haoye Hall.
"You, stay, and join us..." Princess Guihe suddenly said.
Zheng Xiu was stunned, and Xue Mian had already shouted happily: "Great, Second Auntie is having dinner with us!"
Princess Guihe actually took the initiative to invite her to dinner? This really made Zheng Xiu unable to react for a while, until the maids put the food on the table and invited them to come in and sit at the table, she realized that this was Princess Guihe's gesture of goodwill to her.
Yes, this matter was caused by her own child, and Princess Guihe is so proud that she will probably not thank her. Being able to take the initiative to ask for more rice is a great progress. Thinking of this, Zheng Xiu's mood became more and more cheerful. After asking someone to notify Haoye Hall, she sat down at the table. The exquisiteness
of the food in Changfeng Garden is naturally not comparable to that of a large kitchen. Several dishes and soups are impeccable in terms of appearance and taste. Zheng Xiu had a big appetite and ate a whole bowl of rice.
Princess Guihe took a few bites, and seeing that she had finished a bowl of rice, she said coldly: "You have a good appetite." I have never seen a lady from a noble family who can eat like this.
