Chapter 236 Deng Deng’s Little Lotus Festival

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but laugh, "Look, you said I can still become an immortal? I'm either an abandoned wife or a widow, and I've given birth to a child. How can anyone take notice of me?"

She said it was easy, but Mrs. Laifu felt uncomfortable in her heart and said disapprovingly: "It's not that we are not in favor of remarrying. People like you who are both talented and beautiful are admired by many people. I see your fellow countryman sees you. The eyes are bent when you smile, and it’s probably a bit interesting.”

"A fellow countryman?" Bai Ruozhu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Mrs. Laifu was talking about Wang Minglu. She couldn't help but smile and shake her head, "You misunderstood. His sister is about to marry my eldest brother. Our two families are relatives, so we keep in touch with each other." a bit more."

"Oh, that's it." Mrs. Laifu scratched her face. Did she see it wrong?

The two laughed and joked for a while, and Mrs. Laifu also forgot that her original purpose was to inquire about the relationship between Bai Ruozhu and her "benefactor", and returned to her stall after a while.

When Bai Ruozhu saw that the time was almost up, she called her family to close the stall. It was exactly as she guessed. The Wang family would not come today, but they would definitely not be able to run away tomorrow.

The family was still worried about this matter on the way home, so Bai Ruozhu told them about finding Wang Luji and Wang Minglu, and learned Wang Luji's original words, so the family felt relieved.

After returning to the west courtyard, Bai Ruozhu put down her clothes and went to cook for Mr. Xie and his wife. Yu Hongxiu also made a special trip to the kitchen, saying that she wanted to learn a few tricks from Bai Ruozhu.

"You still need to learn from me. Your skills in making snacks are first-class." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.

"It's not as exaggerated as you said. It's just that I'm good at making small snacks. I like to eat it myself, so I learned a little bit about it. But now I really regret it. I should have learned other things. "My master doesn't like dim sum." Yu Hongxiu pouted, very dissatisfied that Mr. Xie didn't like dim sum.

"Most men in the north are not interested in dim sum. Wouldn't it be nice if you learned a few of their favorite dishes?" Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.

Yu Hongxiu nodded, "Yes, that's why I came to steal from you."

Bai Ruozhu baked the leek box again today. Yu Hongxiu didn't like the taste of leeks at first, but after Bai Ruozhu baked it, the aroma was overflowing. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva and said, "Can these leeks and eggs be so fragrant?"

Bai Ruozhu smiled and said, "I also added dried shrimp skin. This is a secret skill."

Yu Hongxiu chuckled, "Thank you, I've learned another trick. By the way, I had dinner with the county magistrate's wife the day before yesterday, and she mentioned that she had not been sleeping well recently and had a lot of dreams. The doctor said it was nothing. , probably because she was overthinking. After hearing this, I recommended you to her and asked her to come and see you when she has time. You can also prescribe some dietary therapy for her, so that you can make money and support yourself, right?"

"Okay, thank you." Bai Ruozhu understands Yu Hongxiu's good intentions. Treating these official wives will definitely reward them with money and gifts. Yu Hongxiu also wants to help her earn more.

Nowadays, Bai Ruozhu feels more and more that she should make more money. On the one hand, she is a complete fan of money. On the other hand, she feels that there will be a lot of favors in the future, and the little money at home is really not worth spending. Also, in case there is any urgent need, such as the twenty taels of silver that was urgently needed to save Guizhi last time, and her second brother went to the academy and didn’t know what big expenses he had, so it is the last word to have more money on hand. .

The dinner was very sumptuous. Bai Ruozhu pointed at the hairy blood dish and said to Mr. Xie, "Sir, my wife has learned to make this specially for you."

Mr. Xie looked at Yu Hongxiu, his eyes filled with tenderness and sweetness. Yu Hongxiu's cheeks turned red and she lowered her head and said, "I just learned it from Ruozhu. I'll make it for you more often when I get better at it."

"Okay, okay, Madam, I'm here for you." Mr. Xie grinned. He didn't have the usual pretense of being a teacher. He looked like a silly boy.

Bai Zepei and Du Zhongshu, who were eating together, both buried their heads in their meals, pretending that no one had seen this scene.

After the meal, Bai Ruozhu returned to the west courtyard. Deng Deng also woke up. She fetched hot water to give Deng Deng a bath. Since Deng Deng was born, she insisted on giving him a bath every day, because the weather was hot and dry, and it would be really bad for a child's health not to wash him. Now that the weather has cooled down, I changed it to washing once every two days.

At first, Lin Ping'er murmured, would it be bad if she washed too frequently? Bai Ruozhu smiled and explained that children have strong secretions and will easily get sick if they don't wash themselves frequently. Lin Ping'er thought that her daughter knew medical skills and what she said must be reasonable, so she didn't say more.

Fang Guizhi followed Bai Ruozhu into the house to help. The two closed the door and chatted privately while taking a bath with Dendeng.

"I heard that the adult helped you take care of Dengdeng all afternoon today. Why do I feel that he treats you so differently from Dengdeng?" Fang Guizhi whispered, with a teasing smile on his face.

Bai Ruozhu rolled his eyes at her, look at how gossipy these women are, both of them like to have random thoughts.

"Nothing happened. He probably felt that he was destined to be with Dengdeng and nothing happened, so he wanted to hug him and tease him. He is the savior of Dengdeng and me. How could I not agree?" Bai Ruozhu nodded as she spoke. Click on Deng Deng's little forehead. This little guy seems to also like the poisonous tongue man.

Bai Ruozhu thought it was because Deng Deng was still young and had never seen the power of a poisonous tongue man. After all, who would speak viciously to a baby?

"Anyway, I think it's quite unusual. What's your impression of that person?" Fang Guizhi looked at Bai Ruozhu with bright eyes, his face full of expectation.

"It's not bad. That day when we were in the court, my uncle tried to snatch the mistress. He knocked my uncle away with one sleeve. Wow, he was so handsome!" Without saying much to others, she and Fang Guizhi were almost inseparable. No more talking.

"What does it mean to be so handsome?" Fang Guizhi looked at Bai Ruozhu with a blank expression.

Bai Ruozhu twitched the corner of his mouth, pointed at little Dengdeng and said, "When he grows up, you will definitely feel so handsome when you see him, that's what I mean."

Deng Deng probably understood that Bai Ruozhu was praising him, so she waved her little hands and laughed.

Bai Ruozhu picked him up from the water, put him on a clean cloth to dry himself, and quickly dressed him in small clothes.

Fang Guizhi probably got a taste of it, came to his senses and hurried over to help. He couldn't help pinching Xiaodengdeng's butt and said: "Your son is very cute with clothes on, and he is even more charming when he takes off his clothes." "

Taking off her clothes was so stunning... Bai Ruozhu's mouth twitched again, why hadn't she noticed that Guizhi spoke so unrestrainedly before?

"Look at it, it looks like lotus root knots. Just looking at it makes you want to take a bite." Fang Guizhi said with a smile.

Bai Ruozhu felt that her eyes were gleaming, and she hurriedly speeded up her dressing speed, otherwise her son's little flesh would be bitten!
