Chapter 38: Hungry
Li Zhenbao shook her head blankly, ”I don’t know what it is either. I’m sorry ah, I didn’t mean to hit towards Jiang Er sister. You’d better take some emetic medicine and see if you can vomit something.”
She felt very guilty and her little face crumpled into a pile.
Li Kai came over and said, “Maybe the sun is too big, a halo of light shines down and there’s actually nothing.”
Jiang Yishi thought about it. It’s just a light, a flash of light, it’s not poison, there’s really no need to worry.
Laughing, she said, “Master Shizi is right, a halo is just a halo.”
But Li Zhenbao was still scared, so she said that the thing shaped like a cat was spooky, and was not interested in continuing to play, pulling Li Kai to say goodbye and go back to the nunnery. In her opinion, when it came to the land of Buddha and Bodhisattva, she was not afraid even if there was a cat spirit.
Sister Wu and Shui Xiang and Shui Ling were busy in the kitchen, and when they heard that something had burrowed into Jiang Yishi’s mouth, they all ran over in fear.
Shui Ling was so remorseful that she cried. Saying, “If only I had been there, I would have been quick with my hands and feet and would have knocked that thing out.”
Jiang Yishi enlightened, “There was nothing, it was just a sunlight. It’s not like you guys don’t know that Dieting Little Master is sometimes godly. She said that the white clouds in the sky looked like cats and smiled at her. Did any of you see that?”
A few people looked at the sky again, the sun was shining brightly, the sky was blue, and a few splashes of four unlike white clouds. Where was the cat? Where was the cat?
Dieting Little Master was indeed a bit godly and unaware of what was going on.
Jiang Yishi went to see the Yong Wangfu sent a thank you gift. Two horse makeup flower satin, two horse nine silk soft Luo, two horse smoky veil, a pair of half a person high colorful porcelain vase, a set of pastel porcelain tea cups and teapots, a red gold braves ornaments.
Jiang Yishi smiled, Yong Wangfu out of a very generous well.
Soft Luo light and thin with dark flowers, is suitable for making summer clothes.
Jiang Yishi let Sister Wu with lake blue soft Luo Jiang Xun cut two long shirt, with magenta soft Luo to cut their own two upper jacket, smoke Xia yarn cut skirt. After they were finished, several people sat on the porch to work on the garments, discussing what flowers would look good on the neckline and cuff embellishments.
It was the first time Jiang Yishi had ever used such good materials to make clothes.
Grandma Wu said, “Before Great Auntie got married, the First Mistress used this material to make two dresses for her and two dresses for Third Girl, and said they were gifts from her mother’s family. Her mother’s family is much poorer than our house, so how could they send such good material? She must have bought them with the government’s silver and couldn’t afford to give them to the second, third, and fifth girls, so she said those things to deceive people.”
The moment she spoke of this, Sister Wu was filled with indignation. The Bofu had earned a large amount of silver money because of the second master, but couldn’t afford to make good clothes for the second girl and the second master.
Jiang Yishi smiled, her stomach rumbling with hunger, her growl especially loud. In her past life and present life, her stomach had never growled like this, and she immediately blushed in shame.
Grandma Wu also heard the grunting, and hurriedly got up and said, “Ouch, the girl is hungry. Shui Ling went to burn the fire, it’s time to cook.”
Dinner was set on the table, a plate of roasted pork with bean curd, a plate of braised hare meat, a plate of mixed huckleberries, and a bowl of melon soup with meatballs.
Jiang Yishi ate all the meat in a burst. She also covered her stomach and said, “Sister, I’m craving for fish, get a fish tomorrow.”
Sister Wu and the others were stupefied. These dishes, the girl usually only ate a little bit, the rest was eaten by the subordinates.
Shui Ling wondered, “Girl, today you’ve eaten even more than the slave girl.”
Jiang Yishi’s face burned, she didn’t know why she was suddenly so good at eating, and she especially liked meat. In fact, she wanted to eat some more, but her stomach was almost bursting and she didn’t dare to eat any more.
Seeing that her master was shy, Sister Wu busily laughed and said, “Perhaps the girl will grow again, and when she does, she’ll be able to eat.”
Seeing that Jiang Yishi went to get the medical books, she hurriedly advised, “After eating so much, girl go to the courtyard to dissipate.”
Jiang Yishi also felt that her stomach was too full to eat, so she went to the courtyard to eat.
Looking at the brilliant evening sun in the sky, suddenly two blue beads appeared in front of her eyes, blinking again, it was still the brilliant evening sun.
She felt that she had been looking at the evening sun for a long time and had gotten her eyes blurred.
Turning back to the house in the dark, Jiang Yixi felt hungry again, and had a special craving for white boiled eggs.
“Sister, go and cook me two boiled white eggs, I want to eat them. Oh, boil three, no, four.”
Sister Wu was sewing clothes with her three maids, and her eyes widened to the size of a cow’s eye when she heard this.
“Girl, what’s wrong with you? Don’t eat it, bear with it.”
Jiang Yishi pulled on Sister Wu’s arm and pampered herself, “No, I can’t help it, I just want to eat. Sister, go and cook it for me, I’m starving inside.”
Shui Ling advised, “Girl, you can’t eat anymore, it won’t look good if you grow to be as strong as me.”
Shui Xiang also said, “Girl, you turned out to be the most afraid of gaining weight, you’d rather eat two less bites at night.”
Jiang Yishi rubbed her stomach, but she just couldn’t help it now, she just wanted to eat eggs, or egg yolks.
Sister Wu took a look at her own girl and could only put down her needle and thread to go to the kitchen to cook eggs. She didn’t dare to cook more, and only cooked two.
Jiang Yishi ate a few bites before feeling better.
She had never felt that eggs were so delicious before.
Is she really growing? But she hadn’t been this edible even when she was growing before.
Zhaoming nunnery behind a small courtyard, good wood agarwood flowers, spring water surrounded, the fragrance of flowers with the evening breeze wafted around, under the corridor hanging a number of glazed palace lamps, the small courtyard lit up.
Li Zhenbao sitting in the courtyard looking at the sky, with a small incense burner for mosquitoes at her feet. She did not wear a hat, the top of her head pulled a pill head tied with a ribbon, if you do not pay attention to the body of the plain clothes, but also thought it was a normal family girl.
Li Kai paced in a circle around her, and from time to time with her gaze at the sky.
The sky was filled with stars, and a crooked moon hung diagonally in the sky without a single floating cloud.
Li Zhenbao wondered if she was in the temple, the cloud changed “cat spirit” will not dare to appear. But for some reason, she always feel a little lost in her heart, feel empty, as if losing what good treasure.
Obviously nothing was lost.
It must be due to the influence of the old Half Immortal. Yes, that must be it.
I think so, but she is uncomfortable, is suffering.
Li Kai stood down and looked at his sister and said, “I’m going back to the capital tomorrow, I’ll come back to accompany you in a few days.”
Li Zhen Bao’s mouth pouted, “Hmph, you claim to spoil me, but you’re not going to leave me alone here again. You’re just like your father.”
Li Kai heatedly laughed, “It’s brother who craves – meat.”
“Meat” was said in a very low voice, fearing that the Bodhisattva would hear and blame him.
Li Zhenbao gave him a blank look and said, “I don’t know if you are craving meat or women.”
Li Kai busily closed the large fan and stuffed it into his arms, folded his hands and said, “Sin, sin. Buddha Bodhisattva don’t blame, my sister has a mouth without a heart.”
Li Zhenbao gave a “humph” and ignored him.
Li Kai looked at his sister and smiled again, “Sister, what do you think of Miss Jiang?”
