Chapter 210 Curiosity
What's wrong? You're just now starting to think of disliking me. So, do you still want to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake today?
Since the beginning of autumn, the old lady had been seriously ill and had been recuperating in the yard. Fortunately, the third girl came back and stayed for a while. She took care of the old lady's body every day and chatted with her to relieve her boredom. The old lady's health gradually improved.
However, as this person reached her twilight years, it was inevitable that she would feel a little melancholy. She had been with the old lady for so long, so she naturally knew what she was thinking. However, she didn't want the old lady to be so melancholy, so she tried every means to make her happy.
"Eat! Of course I have to eat. After all, this is also a token of your kindness. How can I spoil your fun? Today, I not only want to eat the osmanthus cake, but you should also make me some of that crispy lotus root. I've drunk so many medicinal soups recently, and my body is full of the smell of them. It's really bitter for me. Today! I have to make up for the suffering I've endured these days!"
Madam Jiang did not take Wei Ma's teasing to heart, but took the opportunity to put forward her own request. You know, she could only eat some light food during this period, which made her feel uncomfortable all over. Now that she finally got Yu'er's permission, shouldn't she make up for her stomach?
This crispy lotus root is Madam Wei's specialty. She has been craving it for a long time. Now that the lotus root is at its most delicious, how could she miss it?
Seeing that Old Madam Jiang was in such high spirits today, Nanny Wei naturally wouldn't spoil her mood. Besides, it was the season to eat lotus roots, which were very nourishing. It wouldn't be a problem for the old lady to eat some. She immediately looked at her and said,
"Since the old lady has ordered it, there is no reason for me not to do it. But the old lady has been out for so long, why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while? When I am done, I will directly bring it to the living room for you, okay?"
After being out for so long, Madam Jiang was a little tired, but when she thought about how rare it was for her to come out, she immediately looked at Madam Wei and said,
"It's rare to have such nice weather today, why don't we have our meal in the pavilion up ahead? It won't be long before the weather gets colder and it won't be easy to go out!"
Seeing the hopeful look on Madam Jiang's face, Nanny Wei couldn't help but pause her words of dissuasion. Over the past year or so, the old lady had worried too much. Since she didn't want to go back, let her go!
The sky is clear today, which is a good time for an autumn outing. Since the old lady can't leave the courtyard, it's nice to enjoy the scenery in her own yard. Nanny Wei thought for a moment, then looked at Old Lady Jiang and said,
"Well, since the old lady is so elegant, then let's just go with her mood! Although the weather is nice today, the pavilion is close to the pond and it's a bit chilly. How about I have someone set up a feast for the old lady in the garden? What do you think?"
"Don't bother with that. Back then, I was also busy traveling around with the old Duke. How could I be so weak? Just leave it there. It won't take long!"
Wei Madam knew Madam Jiang's temper. Although she was usually not particular about small matters, she could be very stubborn once she made up her mind. Fortunately, the pavilion was not far from here. Since the old lady was unwilling, she naturally could not say anything more.
"Yes, I will listen to you, Madam. However, after lunch, Madam will have to go back to rest. You can't stay any longer!"
Knowing that this was already Nanny Wei's limit, Old Madam Jiang naturally wouldn't insist any longer. She knew that Nanny Wei was truly doing this for her own good, so this was the reason why she was so lenient with Nanny Wei. Seeing Nanny Wei's serious look, Old Madam Jiang could only helplessly respond:
"Okay, I'll do as you say, okay?"
Hearing Madam Jiang's words, Madam Wei's face instantly lit up with smiles, and she immediately agreed: "Okay! I'll go prepare lunch for you right away."
Wei Mama had just agreed to what Old Madam Jiang said, and then she looked at the maids below with a serious face and said, "You guys serve the old lady well, and don't make any mistakes, understand!"
Nanny Wei was in charge of all the affairs of Guiyan Hall. In the eyes of these servants, she was very dignified. Now, seeing her stern expression, they immediately bowed their heads and replied, "Yes!"
Nanny Wei looked around to make sure there was no danger, then she turned and went to the small kitchen.
As soon as Wei Mama left, Madam Jiang looked a little tired. Just as she was about to sit down on the chair, she heard someone beside her cheering in surprise. Madam Jiang was immediately curious and looked at the maid next to her and said,
"Who's making that loud noise? What happened?"
Listening to Madam Jiang's words, Qiuju's eyes flickered slightly. She quickly stood up and looked at Madam Jiang and said:
"Madam, I just heard that a pair of wild geese appeared in the pond, playing and chasing each other. It's really rare to see them at this time. I'm afraid they didn't notice you were here. I'll let them go now so as not to disturb you."
After Qiu Ju finished speaking, she glanced at Madam Jiang. Seeing the curiosity in her eyes, she couldn't help but lower her eyes and turned around to leave.
Mrs. Jiang watched Qiuju turn and leave. She was very curious and hurriedly called out to her:
"Wait, it's rare to see wild geese at this time of year, just let them enjoy themselves, there's no need to chase them away."
Listening to what Old Lady Jiang said, Qiu Ju quickly agreed. Just as she was thinking about how to get Old Lady Jiang to come over, she heard Old Lady Jiang looking at her and saying:
"Help me go over and take a look. What kind of wild geese are these? Why can we see them in such a cold weather? Maybe they got left behind during their migration. Now that the weather is getting colder, if they continue to stay here, they will probably freeze to death!"
"Hey! Old Madam, be careful with your steps. I'll help you over!" Qiu Ju hurriedly agreed after hearing what Old Madam Jiang said. She was just worrying about how to get Old Madam Jiang over, but she didn't expect Old Madam Jiang to speak up herself. Qiu Ju immediately stepped forward to help her. The maid next to her saw this and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She hurriedly looked at Old Madam Jiang and tried to dissuade her:
"Madam, the ground there is slippery, you can't go over there. If Madam Wei sees you go over there, I'm afraid she'll be unhappy!"
Hearing the maid's words, Madam Jiang paused, her face showing some hesitation. Qiu Ju saw this and hurriedly looked at the maid next to her and said:
"The old lady is our master. You keep talking about Wei Mama. Do you think the old lady wants to obey Wei Mama's orders?
