2608 The fat lady
“Miss, Daren hasn’t returned yet. He just sent someone back and said that he won’t be back for dinner, but he will be back to rest.” Dong Xue handed a handkerchief to Gu Xin and answered.
“Oh, I know. Dongxue, get someone to prepare the bathwater. I’m not feeling well, so I need to take a good bath. Oh right, in a while, go and tell sister sisi that I’ve woken up and ask her to come over. She just wants to hear some gossip.” Gu Xin wiped her face and sobered up.
“Alright, third miss.” Wintersnow went to prepare.
The weather was still very hot. Gu Xin went to the bathroom and waited for the maidservants to fill the tub with water. She then sat comfortably in the bathtub.
After a while, Gu si arrived with food.
“Third sister, did you sleep well? I heard that you wanted to take a bath, so my mother asked me to bring it for you. My mother said that it was not good to take a bath on an empty stomach, so she insisted that I bring it for you. My mother really didn’t know how good your body is, third sister!” Gu si sat on the stool beside the bath barrel like a small Chatterbox. After she finished speaking, she fed Gu Xin.
“Third sister, you don’t know this, but I have to endure that little fool. She even wanted to follow us! Did he not know that he was already seven years old? He thought he was a little kid! Even if he’s a little kid, there’s no reason for him to follow us, right?”
“I know, Ren Ren definitely wants to hear the story of Lu Yang and the chicken Prince! I also want to hear it. Third sister, you don’t know, but today the news has spread outside, saying that the old lady of the Duke Zhengguo’s mansion is finally getting married, and to a peasant Prince who is not bad in all aspects.”
“There are also rumors outside that these two people fell in love at the inn, and almost made The Frog Prince take the child back to the East! Third sister, is this the case? Is this the case? Aren’t you guys investigating a case? Why would they even give them the chance to get the child out?”
Gu si did not speak quickly, but the speed at which she fed Gu Xin was fast.
“Sister sisi, you’re talking to yourself, and you’re using something to stuff my mouth. How do you want me to answer you?” Gu Xin blocked Gu SI’s hand and said helplessly.
ah, Yingying. Gu si paused and then laughed foolishly. I was just worried that you would be hungry, third sister. My mother once said that whoever bathes in the water with an empty stomach will immediately faint!”
“Who is this” who “?” Gu Xin asked curiously.
Was there anyone who would faint from the bath?
“It’s a fat lady that my mother knows. Her master brought a concubine back, and that fat lady was so angry that she felt that her master brought a concubine back because she was fat. So, she didn’t eat and went hungry! It just so happens that she has the habit of soaking in the bath for half an hour every day, so she fainted from the bath when she was too hungry.” Gu si explained.
Gu Xin was speechless. Then, she thought of the fat Madam that her aunt knew and immediately matched her name. She could not help but laugh, ” you’re Madam pang, right? ” First aunt was really too much. She had learned to give people nicknames from first uncle. If Madam pang were to find out, wouldn’t she go even more hungry?”
Madam pang’s background was similar to Madam Zhang’s. They were both from the village. Sir pang had entered the civil service through the imperial examination. He was lucky and capable, and in the end, he became an official in the capital.
Perhaps it was because they came from similar backgrounds, and both of them were more mature, but Madam Zhang and Mrs. Pang could be said to be very good friends. After all, Mrs. Pang had entered this circle earlier than Madam Zhang, and had even taught her a lot.
