Chapter 162 The Lively Marquis' Mansion
Chapter 162 The Lively Marquis' Mansion
Qiwu could only take pictures of what Tutu prepared for her.
The mansion's expenses have increased recently. Because Qiwu's warehouse was robbed, they are temporarily unable to get money from Qiwu, and fewer people are coming to her place.
Therefore, Qiwu is becoming increasingly deserted. Qiwu has been very idle recently, eating melons everywhere.
The old lady was constantly taking medicine, and her madness was very creative.
Because when the old lady was seriously crazy, she couldn't stand the sight of long hair. If she saw long hair, she would tear her own or other people's hair.
So now, most of the people in her courtyard were young girls, whose hair was shaved short by the maids, delaying the time for them to grow their hair.
The older maids all wore hats that covered their hair tightly. The hats were similar to nun hats and were very plain in color, for fear that they would be too bright and attract the old lady's attention.
Now the whole yard is filled with short hair and nun hats. At first glance, it looks like a nunnery.
Today the old lady came up with a new trick.
She put a little girl, who had not even grown her hair, on her neck and ran around the yard like crazy.
The little girl was so scared that she wiped her tears, but she didn't dare to cry out loud.
Until she passed the clothesline, the little girl grabbed the rope by herself, climbed up, and then climbed down the pole by herself.
The old lady was busy trying to break through, and before she noticed, the little girl on her shoulder had already escaped.
He was still running around happily, dubbing himself as he ran.
"Yu~咴儿咴儿~"
It seems that she thinks she is a horse today.
With one leap he jumped onto the stove in the small kitchen.
The cook in the kitchen looked up in amazement at the old lady standing on the stove,
The cook is new. The previous cook was a veteran in the mansion and had used her connections to be transferred to the prince's small kitchen.
The new cook had no idea of how crazy the old lady was.
He just stared at the old lady with a dull expression, and when she lowered her head, he asked reflexively,
"What are your orders?"
As a result, the old lady with a serious face replied loudly to her face,
"Yu~"
After being pulled out of the kitchen with great difficulty, the old lady was surrounded by people and changed her running direction from time to time in the yard.
It can also jump up and over obstacles, moving swiftly and lightly like a swallow.
When he was no longer conscious, he needed someone to support him when going out.
A host of maids in hats ran after her, but could not keep up with him.
"Old lady, watch your step."
"Madam, don't jump. There are steps ahead."
"Hey, old lady, you can't eat that. It's the straw rope used to tie garlic braids."
"Ah~ Old lady, what are you biting? Open your mouth quickly, that's toilet chips!"
A group of people rushed in a panic, picking out the things the old lady had bitten from her mouth.
Fortunately, it was newly made and the toilet paper was hung outside to dry. Otherwise, I couldn’t guarantee that I wouldn’t vomit.
A large group of maids finally managed to carry the old lady back to the house by grabbing her arms, hugging her waist, and lifting her legs.
It happened that the prince came, but he did not enter the house.
The smell in the house was not good, because the old lady kept climbing through the window and trying to jump out, so the window had been sealed.
Only the door is left for air circulation.
The prince stood at the door and looked inside, not knowing whether he saw the old lady or not, and said loudly,
"Mother, I tasted a roast goose at the Prime Minister's banquet today and found it very delicious, so I asked for a portion to bring back for you to taste.
I hope my mother will feel relaxed and healthy after eating this.”
The old lady in the room seemed very excited when she heard his voice, but because she was surrounded by servants, she could not leave the inner room.
The maids hugged the old lady tightly, and no one dared to let the old lady rush in front of the prince.
The maids who failed to stop the old lady and caused her to go crazy in front of the prince have all been sent away.
We are all family-born children. We have all learned from past experience how hard life can be when we are sent away and have no source of income.
The prince was still performing at the door, "Mother, I have some official business to attend to. I will take my leave now. Mother, please have a good rest."
After saying this, without waiting for a response from inside the room, he bowed, turned around and hurried out.
In the garden, there was a young man playing with a folding fan. He was picking up a flower with the fan, moving close to it and sniffing it.
It seems romantic, but also a little greasy.
The prince took a few quick steps and said, "Brother Boyan, I'm sorry for waiting for you. I'm really worried about my mother, so I'm bothering you to come with me."
The young man put away his fan and spoke politely.
"You are too polite, my father greatly appreciates people who are filial. It is just a small favor."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries as they left the house.
Qi Wu curled his lips. What kind of pure filial piety is this? The prince was in the courtyard, except for his respectful voice, but his every move was full of impatience.
Moreover, the old lady didn’t like greasy food before. Her favorite were delicate things. The prince probably performed this for Boyan to see.
This boy must have some important identity.
Qi Wu thought about it carefully. After practicing, her memory became very good. She had seen this Boyan at the Tenth Prince's place.
He was one of the counselors mentioned by the Tenth Prince who suggested capturing refugees to open up mines.
This person looks decent, but no matter what his political purpose is, he must be rotten at heart if he can think of arresting the opinions of vagrants.
She didn't have many talismans left, and Tutu didn't have many in stock either.
So I was a little hesitant, whether to waste the talisman on this strategist,
While he was thinking, the two men had already walked out of the garden. Qiwu was considering whether he should follow them to take a look.
As a result, he caught a glimpse of a figure at the edge of the garden, hiding from the prince. When he saw someone coming, he hid in the bushes, covering his hands and face tightly.
Qiwu did not continue to pay attention to the two princes who had already walked away.
Because Qiwu discovered that the person who was hiding his head and showing his tail was his cousin,
Ever since my cousin's entire body turned yellow and began to shed its skin, she has been wrapping herself tightly up.
There was no news of the cousin's illness in the mansion. She kept the yellowing and peeling of her skin a secret.
Qiwu really admired her cousin's ability to control her emotions.
The recording stone she placed in her cousin's room was still there, so she knew everything about her cousin's performance.
When my cousin woke up in the morning, she found that her whole body had turned yellow, her face and hands were covered with spots, and her skin was peeling severely. She was trembling and dropped the bronze mirror.
"Miss cousin, what's wrong?" The maid heard the voice and pushed the door open.
After discovering the maid coming in, Miss Biao was able to change her mood quickly and even cover up in front of the maid.
She claims that this is a secret skin care recipe she has found and that after a period of time, the skin will become more delicate.
"I want to give my cousin a surprise, so you are not allowed to tell him. I need to block out the light during this period. Go get the gloves and veil."
There was a hint of shyness in her tone.
The little maidservant didn't understand the strange skin care recipes popular among the noble ladies. She thought it was just a hobby between cousins, so she smiled and retreated to prepare what the cousin wanted.
After the maid left, Miss Biao began to bite her fingers nervously, and ended up tearing off a layer of molting skin. She was so frightened that she trembled.
But as soon as the maid came back, she immediately controlled her demeanor and relaxed.
She washed up with the help of her maid with a calm demeanor. Even though there was yellow shed skin in the basin, she still looked composed.
Qiwu was so shocked. If she hadn't fed the dog to Huangpidan herself, she would have believed it was the effect of the skin care recipe just by watching her cousin's performance.
