Chapter 260 Turn Your Face Around
"Okay, stop arguing!" After the Queen Mother spoke, the hall became quiet again, "Old Si Fujin, tell me, what is the use of this wooden barrel?"
For some reason, Fourth Master felt that his Fujin must have a good idea.
This wooden barrel is more than that simple.
How could such a little vixen know how to make an ordinary wooden barrel.
"Back to my ancestors, this wooden bucket is a foot bath bucket specially customized by my granddaughter-in-law from a carpenter in the capital. Although it is made of fir, my grandson-in-law believes that preciousness cannot be used as the basis for measuring the quality of a thing. If If something is expensive but not suitable for you, then you shouldn't use it. If something is cheap, but it's good for people, then it's good. " Ruoyin replied seriously.
"How do you say that?" The queen mother raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"It's like cypress wood. It has a high density, good texture, and is very shiny. It looks more expensive. But it has average corrosion resistance and is not suitable for soaking feet. Although fir wood is cheap, it has medicinal value itself. , has the effect of expelling wind, relieving pain, dispelling blood stasis and stopping bleeding, and it is light and antiseptic, and if it is combined with a Chinese herbal medicine pack, it can also play a good role in medicine."
"Moreover, the wooden foot bath bucket customized by my grandson is not an ordinary wooden foot bath bucket. It is a deep bucket design, and there are pulleys polished with 88 wooden beads underneath, which can promote blood circulation and drive away the cold. Promote metabolism. Soak in winter to strengthen Yang, soak in summer to dispel dampness and heat, soak in autumn to moisturize lungs and intestines, and soak in winter to warm Dantian. It can make the ancestors sleep peacefully after using it, stay healthy and live a long life."
Just as Ruoyin was talking, Nanny Liu took off the lid of the wooden bucket and showed everyone the wooden bead pulley inside.
For a moment, everyone was stunned by the seemingly ordinary wooden barrel that actually concealed a mystery.
Looking at the finger-sized wooden beads, I wondered if it would be wonderful if I stepped on them to soak my feet.
Coupled with Ruoyin's witty remarks, the wooden barrel was full of hype.
It makes them doubt life.
Could it be that their feet have been soaked for decades?
"As the saying goes, high tables and low benches are all made of wood. In my opinion, no matter how good the wooden barrel is, it is still made of wood. But I really admire the fourth sister-in-law. She has a wonderful eloquence. She talks about wood in a way that is more beautiful than gold." It seems precious." It was Jiu Fujin who said this.
Ruoyin turned to look at Jiu Fujin, who was more bitter than San Fujin before.
At first glance, Jiufujin was the kind that was not easy to mess with, and there was a vicious look in his eyes.
Not at all inferior to Master Jiu, known as the poisonous snake old nine.
She was puzzled, she had never provoked this person before.
Why did he suddenly fight against her?
Could it be that there was a school among the elder brothers, and Jiufujin followed suit?
She glanced at Master Jiu who was beside Jiu Fujin, and sure enough, this man had a sinister smile on his lips.
Then, she withdrew her gaze, and said in a stern voice: "The nine younger brothers and sisters are wrong. Why is a book with wonderful stories or rich content more valuable than blank paper, or even priceless? I think this is the reason." , you still understand."
Hearing this, Jiufujin was silenced.
I couldn't find any words to refute for a while.
The empress dowager who happened to be above also spoke at the right time: "The fourth Fujin really has a clever mind. This wooden barrel is exactly what the Ai family wanted. It just so happened that Ai's family has not been sleeping well recently, so the imperial doctor prescribed a herbal medicine package, saying it is to soak your feet before going to bed. After finishing, the lady-in-waiting massaged my feet, but Ai’s family is old, and the soles of my feet are dry, not easy to press, and it’s too greasy to put on essential oils. Now that I have you, why do I need others to press? alright."
When Jiufujin heard this, he didn't dare to talk too much, so he sat down awkwardly.
At this time, even Kangxi, who has been lowering his existence and not wanting to highlight himself on the queen mother's birthday, laughed and said, "It's just as long as the empress dowager likes it."
After finishing speaking, he asked Liang Jiugong to reward Ruoyin with some jewelry.
After receiving the reward, Ruoyin returned to sit beside fourth master under the envious eyes of everyone.
The fourth master glanced at the woman from the corner of his eye, and asked in a voice that only two people could hear, "How did you know you wanted to give this to the emperor?"
If the queen mother hadn't spoken before, he wouldn't have asked her.
The point is that it was too coincidental, the Queen Mother just happened to soak her feet at night, so she sent a wooden bead roller bathtub.
"Fifth sister told me." Ruoyin said truthfully, and turned her head to smile at fourth master.
Fourth Master was startled for a moment, then withdrew his eyes, "You are clever, you can go through the back door."
"You have to be strong when you go through the back door. First, you have to be popular, and second, the things you give must satisfy your ancestors." Ruoyin pinched a piece of plum cake with a satisfied face.
Fourth Master didn't speak, but he, who never liked to eat in public, also pinched a piece of plum cake and chewed it carefully.
A faint fragrance of plum blossom spread between the teeth.
The fifth princess has been growing up beside the queen mother, so Ruoyin can get along with the fifth princess.
Fourth Master was delighted to hear it.
Immediately afterwards, several other princes Fujin sent their hearts.
But with Ruoyin's novel wooden barrel, other people's barrels seemed very ordinary.
After all, the queen mother celebrates her birthday every year, so there are only those birthday gifts.
In addition, those people are not good at words, no matter how precious something is, just a few words to talk about it, it is really not as good as made of wood.
After everyone presented their birthday presents, the Queen Mother sent everyone away.
The general meaning is to keep everyone eating in the Palace of Mercy.
But it will be a while before lunch, so let everyone walk around the palace.
Ruoyin couldn't stand the too serious atmosphere in the hall, she had to sit upright and smile without showing her teeth.
So, she almost immediately supported Nanny Liu's hand and wandered around the palace.
Before I knew it, I came to a plum garden.
She originally thought that admiring the plum blossoms in the snow would be an elegant event, but before she had time to appreciate the plum blossoms, she saw a man and a woman talking and laughing in the plum garden.
Looks like someone got there first.
In this dynasty, it is quite romantic to make an appointment to enjoy plum blossoms together.
The woman's voice was as clear as an orchid in an empty valley, which was a little bit familiar to Ruoyin.
The southern voice is hearty and seems to be more familiar.
Ruoyin was not a good person.
However, she was too familiar with the voices of these two, so she had to watch them.
But she didn't want to rush in and disturb someone's date.
So, she had no choice but to sneak a look at the plum garden from the crack of the rockery.
It doesn't matter if you look at it or not, you will be happy when you see it.
Good guy, it turned out that Wuge and a girl in a plum red flag dress were admiring the plum blossoms inside.
It's just that the girl's back was facing her, and she couldn't see her face.
I had to pray in my heart: turn around, turn your face around, so that she can see who this person who might become her sister-in-law is.
Grandma Liu looked helpless looking at her own Fujin.
Qiaofeng held up an oiled paper umbrella with red plums printed on it to cover Ruoyin from the snow.
