The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

About an incense stick of time later, Aunt Zhang came up personally with a bowl of cooked lemon and rock sugar water.

Listening to the old lady's hearty laughter in the yard from afar, Aunt Zhang's eyes became moist.

After coming to Taihe County, the old lady has been depressed because of some old things.

Although the old lady didn't say it, as an old man who has served you for decades, how could she not know?

It had been a long time since she had seen such a lively old lady.

It was rare to find a young man with whom the old lady could chat, and Aunt Zhang was very happy from the bottom of her heart.

Nanny Zhang handed the medicine bowl in her hand to Qiuyue beside her, took out a handkerchief from her body, and gently pressed the corners of her eyes.

Only after making sure that there was nothing unusual did he take the bowl of cooked soup again and slowly walked over.

"The old lady's lemon water is ready, please try it."

"Miss Qin, don't just talk, eat something first. These cakes are made by the mansion itself, they are not greasy."

Nanny Zhang stepped forward and interrupted the conversation between the old lady and Qin Ruo with a smile.

Old Madam Xie picked up the bowl of soup, and the unique fragrance of lemon leaves penetrated into her nostrils.

It tastes slightly sweet at first, and my dry and itchy throat feels comfortable instantly.

"Good! Good!"

The old lady said "OK" twice, picked up the bowl of soup and drank it all up quickly.

"Aruo girl, your method is really good. Thanks to you. It looks like I can have a good sleep tonight with my old bones."

Qin Ruo smiled slightly, with a modest expression: "Old Madam, you are too kind. This is just a small folk remedy from the countryside, not worth mentioning."

In modern times, she has dealt with all kinds of people, so facing the old lady of the Xie Mansion, she is naturally at ease.

Qin Ruo did not deny that her initiative today was with a purpose in mind, quietly building her own network of contacts.

In this strange dynasty, if you are not strong enough, your connections are your backing.

As long as she didn't intentionally hurt others, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did.

After the old lady put down the bowl of soup, she suddenly felt like she had some appetite.

They ordered a few dishes and asked Aunt Zhang to ask the kitchen to prepare them. Aunt Zhang was very happy.

She responded and hurried towards the kitchen. When she looked back at Qin Ruo, her eyes became softer.

In fact, before the bowl of water was served, Nanny Zhang had asked the court physician to take a look.

After confirming that there was no problem, he took it to the old lady.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Qin Ruo, it was just that Aunt Zhang was used to being cautious. When it came to the old lady's health, she didn't dare to take it lightly.

A few days ago, Nanny Zhang herself caught a cold and her throat has been dry, itchy and uncomfortable for some time.

She drank half a bowl herself, and when she found that it was indeed effective, she couldn't wait to send it over.

In fact, even if Qin Ruo knew, it wouldn't matter. There are so many rules in wealthy families.

If it were me, I would also be a little wary when facing someone who suddenly appeared from nowhere.

When Nanny Zhang turned back again, Qin Ruo took the opportunity to teach her other wonderful uses of lemon leaves.

Ask her to wash the picked lemon leaves, dry them, cut them into thin strips, and soak them in water to drink daily.

He also told Aunt Zhang that adding a few slices of fresh lemon leaves to the roe deer meat would help stimulate the appetite and relieve greasiness.

The old lady has a poor appetite, so this method is a good choice for her.

Boiled lemon leaves in water, in addition to resolving phlegm, relieving cough and asthma, also has the effect of stimulating appetite and calming the nerves.

Nanny Zhang listened very carefully, and Old Madam Xie was also very interested, and the few of them had a very pleasant conversation in the backyard.

But neither of them asked how Qin Ruo, a country boy, knew all this and who his teacher was.

There are so many capable people in this world.

Some people don't like to ask about origins, so they don't ask.

The old lady's health was not good after all. After half an hour, fatigue gradually appeared in her eyes.

Qin Ruo tactfully said goodbye.

Old Madam Xie originally wanted to invite Qin Ruo to have lunch at the Xie Mansion, but Qin Ruo refused.

There is ample time.

There will be plenty of time to deal with the Xie family in the future.

Old Madam Xie did not insist any longer. After giving some detailed instructions to Nanny Zhang, she went back to her room to rest with Qiuyue's service.

On the other side, Qin Zimu and Zhou Dazhu, who were waiting in the side hall, were already feeling very uneasy.

Although they were the only two people in the side hall, neither of them dared to move around and could only talk in a low voice from time to time.

Even when sitting on a chair, he was only lightly touching the chair.

As for the plates of exquisite snacks brought by the maid, she didn't dare touch even a single bit.

Later, I was so thirsty that I drank a cup of tea.

When the two men realized that they had just finished their tea and the maid came to refill it, they felt very uncomfortable.

Later, the two were so thirsty that their throats were burning, and they dared not drink the tea anymore.

From childhood to adulthood, I have never been served by servants.

Not to mention myself, even the village head Wang probably hasn't had such a blessing.

When Qin Zimu and Zhou Dazhu saw Qin Ruo coming out, they both stood up in surprise and breathed a sigh of relief as if they had found a savior.

Nanny Zhang personally escorted Qin Ruo and others to the gate of Xie's mansion, and invited Qin Ruo to visit Xie's mansion more often when she had time.

Qin Ruo agreed with a faint smile.

Before leaving, Nanny Zhang handed Qin Ruo a large food box.

He smiled and said, "The snacks made in the mansion are not worth much. Miss Qin, you can keep them for the journey."

Finally, he took out a few exquisite purses and asked Qin Ruo and others to accept them.

This was all ordered by the old lady, and she also showed her love for Qin Zimu and Zhou Dazhu by preparing small gifts for them.

"This is a little gift from the old lady, please don't refuse it, Miss Qin."

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang. No, no, you don't need to..."

Looking at the purse handed to them, Qin Zimu and Zhou Dazhu waved their hands and quickly dodged away.

No merit, no reward? They both understand this principle.

I haven't done anything, so how can I accept things from others?

"Miss Qin, this is just a small token of the old lady's appreciation. Are you being too polite?"

Nanny Zhang had no choice but to turn her gaze to Qin Ruo and said in a pretended angry tone.

She could see clearly that the two children were led by Qin Ruo.

"Thank the old lady for me, then we will be disrespectful to refuse."

"Dazhu, Erlang, come over here and thank Aunt Zhang."

Qin Ruo smiled, thanked her generously, took the food box first and accepted the purse given by Nanny Zhang.

Seeing that Qin Ruo had spoken, Qin Zimu did not dare to refuse and accepted it with a red face.

Thinking back to when he was in school and saw the teacher greeting others, Qin Zimu respectfully saluted Aunt Zhang.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang."

Zhou Dazhui followed Qin Zimu's example and stepped forward to bow and express his gratitude.

Aunt Zhang looked at the two honest and simple-minded young boys in front of her and couldn't help laughing at their inaccurate greeting movements.

After the few people left Xie Mansion, a carriage with the Xie Mansion logo on it was already waiting outside the door.

The person sitting at the front of the carriage driving it was none other than the Xie family’s housekeeper, Ren Ping.
