Chapter 102 The Real Use of 6-Woman
For women living in the imperial harem, competing for favor is the norm, but it is not a long-term solution.
If they want to settle down in a mansion, children are their best asset.
Helpless, but realistic.
How could Liu Po, a cook, be relied upon in Qingsong Garden and even have the courtesan give her some respect?
Because she also has a nickname, "the child-delivering grandma"!
Yes, the fertility granny.
Liu Po has a special skill. As long as a woman follows her prescription, she will be able to get pregnant quickly!
Even if the doctor said it was difficult to get pregnant, as long as she listened to Liu Po's prescription, she would be able to get pregnant. Many married girls in Qingsongyuan gave birth to their own children with Liu Po's prescription and won their own place.
Now, it is finally the turn of the two sisters Zhuhong and Liulu.
The Sixth Granny was puzzled: "This shouldn't be the case. I have been taking good care of the two girls and there is nothing wrong with them. It stands to reason that they should be able to conceive easily after the marriage is consummated. It shouldn't be that there is still no sign of pregnancy until now..."
As an experienced person, Liu Po quickly grasped the key to the problem, "Could it be that the Marquis is not capable?"
Liu Lu was startled and subconsciously looked outside. Seeing that the door was closed, she felt relieved.
But she was still afraid and said, "Sixth Aunt, you can't say this to others, especially in the Marquis' Mansion!"
She plotted behind the scenes against her master, who is also from the Marquis's Mansion. I'm afraid even they can't protect Liu Po!
Liu Po was used to being free in Qingsong Garden, so she was a little uncomfortable for a while. But she knew in her heart that the Marquis' Mansion was not an ordinary family. In other mansions, she might just scold her and let her go.
But it’s different in the Marquis’ Mansion. If the Marquis is framed, he can send her to see the official!
"You can save yourself the trouble." The Sixth Wife remembered the rules in her heart, but her doubts were not dispelled. There was nothing wrong with the two girls, so the problem was naturally with the Marquis.
But the Marquis is a man of noble status. Servants like them cannot get close to him, and even if they see him, they have to stay away from him to avoid offending him.
So it was impossible for her to catch Lu Jing and find out the truth.
Zhu Hong said, "Sixth Aunt, actually my sister and I have had doubts before. But, after all, there is still the prince in this mansion. If the Marquis really... then how will the prince explain it?"
This was also the point where she and Liu Lu struggled. Before entering the Marquis's Mansion, they paid great attention to their health. They asked Liu Po to check it out and after confirming that there was no problem, they entered the mansion with hope.
But after so long, they had asked the Marquis to stay before, but there was no movement.
We asked a doctor from outside to see them, but he just said that they were just worrying too much and there was nothing wrong with their body. It was really confusing.
Sixth Aunt thought about it and it made sense. The eldest son of this marquisate was already quite old.
If the problem lies with the Marquis, then the Crown Prince would not exist.
What's more, the Crown Prince and the Marquis have the same face. Although it is said that the mistress of the Marquis's mansion is not favored, the faces of the father and son are indeed similar.
Therefore, the issue of the prince's illegitimate birth is also ruled out.
"In that case, you should follow the old woman's prescription and wait until the time is right before taking action."
Liu Po knew that the reason she was brought into the mansion this time was to allow the two girls to conceive their own children. But she did not feel disappointed at all, but was very fortunate - at her age, as long as she was still needed, she felt happy.
She has seen too many elderly people who were disliked by their families because of their age.
It's bad enough that you work hard all your life and don't get any good in the end. If you meet those heartless people, they won't even let you stay at home. They will find a thatched hut far away and send you away to fend for yourself.
She is now content that she can still be remembered and redeemed.
In addition, she has saved a lot of money by helping those girls achieve their wishes over the years.
After the two girls are done with their affairs, she can go out and find a place to live out her old age in peace. Without the constraints of Qingsong Garden, she can go anywhere.
Shen Ruoyan could not hide what Zhuhong and Liulu were doing.
"Sixth Auntie has been placed in the servants' quarters, living with the other maids. The two concubines have not made her identity public."
After Chunxi found out the news, she came back to report.
I thought that if the two concubines took my aunt into the mansion, it would make Sixth Aunt's life better. But I didn't expect that they were only responsible for taking people into the mansion, and didn't interfere too much in other areas.
A little lack of patience can ruin great plans. The fact that Zhuhong and Liulu were able to hold themselves back is worthy of respect.
"That Sixth Lady, are there any other actions?" Shen Ruoyan was practicing calligraphy, with a half-embroidered picture of a hundred years of longevity placed next to her. This was a gift she prepared for Madam Lu's birthday banquet next month.
However, the Queen Mother would never compromise herself. Although she would announce to the public that it was embroidered by her own hands, she secretly found a dozen embroiderers to work on it overnight...
The embroiderers went out to rest, so Shen Ruoyan passed the time by practicing calligraphy. Chun Xi stepped forward to grind the ink for her and said in a low voice:
"I went to the kitchen and saw that this old lady was quite capable. After only half a day, she started to chat and laugh with the other women inside."
In the backyard, the woman in the kitchen has the worst temper.
No other reason, because I’m tired.
All the heavy work is done in the kitchen. The yard next door may just be washing clothes and sweeping the floor, but in the kitchen, you have to light fires, chop wood and fetch water. Even because it is in the backyard, there are no men available, so all the heavy work has to be done by the women.
I feel exhausted all day long, so naturally I feel very resentful.
What's more, they are all elderly people in the mansion, so they are particularly xenophobic.
There were newcomers who wanted to join in before, but they were bullied by them collectively. They couldn't stand it anymore and ran away crying, refusing to go to the kitchen to work no matter what.
Since Liu Po can get along well with these people, I'm afraid she is not someone who is easy to deal with.
Shen Ruoyan put down the pen, took the handkerchief handed over by Chunxi, and wiped his hands carefully: "Keep an eye on her and see what she wants to do."
The kitchen is related to everyone's food, so no mistakes can be made.
"If she has any abnormality, there is no need to report it, just deal with it directly. As for Aunt, I will handle it myself."
Chunxi took the handkerchief and put it back into the basin. The swaying water reflected her calm face. "I understand."
She sent people to secretly watch Liu Po, no matter what she wanted to do, she couldn't affect the food in the Marquis' Mansion. These imported things could not be easily sloppy.
However, Grandma Liu seemed to be very well-behaved in the kitchen, quietly doing her own thing, not gossiping or causing trouble.
Chun Xi was watched for several days, but no one was found to have done anything wrong.
If it were in the past, she might have relaxed, thinking that there was nothing to focus on with this old lady, and that she might just be overly suspicious.
But after being with Shen Ruoyan for a long time, Chun Xi knew that this was the time when it was easiest to relax.
So when the person who was watching came to report and asked if she didn't need to watch anymore, Chun Xi scolded her, "The master asked you to watch, even if it rains knives from the sky, you have to watch closely! If anything goes wrong, the master will come to me, and I will come to you!"
Such a scolding really cheered people up.
Don’t mention it, she really caught my attention!
