Chapter 7 Safflower Oil

Besides, Teacher Shen felt that this was because he valued Zhang Anchu and wanted to do his best to teach her. This was only the first day and he wanted to test her potential and endurance. After this test, it turned out that his original decision was the right one.

Learning to dance requires a lot of hard work, and there is nothing you can do about it. You can just get used to it later.

The wet nurse felt that what she said was somewhat reasonable, so she stopped being embarrassed and said, "The third lady hasn't finished dinner yet, so she fell asleep next to the bed. I'll go back and boil some hot water first, and ask her to get up and take a bath after dinner." It’s better to rest early.”

"Nanny, go slowly." Shen Jiaoxi sent her away with a smile. When he saw her entering Zhang Anchu's room, he turned around, shook his head gently, and muttered: "When teaching her, ask her if she is tired, can she I didn’t say I was tired, but I was really arrogant.”

Zhang Anchu was woken up by her nanny in a daze. She was very tired. After such a rest, her legs, which were numb from fatigue, were now in unbearable pain.

"Nanny, my leg hurts a lot." Zhang Anchu's soft voice sounded, and his eyes looked pitiful and heart-wrenching.

"Third Miss, get up and eat first. I have asked Siyu to prepare hot water and take a bath after eating. Shen Jiaoxi still has some conscience and gave him a bottle of the best safflower oil brought from the palace. After bathing Apply it and it won't hurt anymore." The wet nurse hugged Zhang Anchu and said sadly.

"Yeah." Zhang Anchu agreed obediently. Although his legs hurt, he still didn't shed a single tear. Crying can't solve the problem.

For dinner, there is a bowl of white fungus soup and two stir-fried vegetables, which is quite rich. For a five-year-old child, it is enough, and it can be eaten even if it is finished.

Zhang Anchu usually leaves more than half of it, but today he was so hungry that he actually finished eating.

Seeing the nanny wiping away tears, she didn't want Zhang Anchu to learn to dance. It was too hard, but as a slave, she had no right to speak. She could only take good care of Zhang Anchu and do what she could.

Siyu brought the hot water over and adjusted it to a suitable temperature. The nanny then carried Zhang Anchu into the bathtub.

"Siyu, please burn the charcoal fire a little brighter, don't leave Miss Third in the cold." The nanny didn't look back and said while scrubbing Zhang Anchu's body.

"Yes." Siyu obediently went to add charcoal to the fire.

At this time, Zhang Anchu remembered Sixue's fever and asked: "Siyu, how is Sixue doing now? Has the fever gone away?"

"The fever has gone away. I heard Si Xue's mother said that she can come to work tomorrow." Si Yu answered quickly.

Si Xue was born at home, and she had her own mother to take care of her when she was sick, unlike Si Yu, who was bought from outside.

"That's good. You should be careful and don't get sick. It's very uncomfortable." Zhang Anchu said. She remembered that when she had a fever, she felt confused and hurt all over her body. It took several days for her to recover.

"Yes, Miss Third." Siyu nodded obediently.

"Nanny, I haven't gone to visit Aunt Bai today." Zhang Anchu was wrapped in hot water and felt sleepy for a moment. After speaking, he yawned.

"Third Miss, let's go tomorrow. You are very tired today. I think Aunt Bai won't mind, and she understands you." The wet nurse saw her like this and didn't want to let her go again. It would be tiring to go all the way.

Zhang Anchu shook his head. Although she was not old, she still had her own ideas and said, "No, Aunt Bai will be worried if she doesn't see me for a day. Besides, I miss my brother too."

The wet nurse sighed and said, "Just listen to the wet nurse. After bathing, I will apply safflower oil on your body and then go to bed to sleep. Why bother and exhaust yourself."

"Nanny, I'm not tired." Zhang Anchu looked at the wet nurse An Shi eagerly. She knew that the wet nurse Anshi couldn't see such a look, and her heart would definitely soften.

The wet nurse shook her head, helpless, and said: "Okay, but the time can't be longer."

"Hey, I know the nanny is the best!" Zhang Anchu kissed the nanny An on the cheek, and the nanny immediately smiled with satisfaction.

After bathing, the wet nurse opened the porcelain bottle and applied safflower oil to the joints of Zhang Anchu's body.

"Nanny, is this the best safflower oil in the palace? Why does it smell bad?" Zhang Anchu asked, lying on the bed, frowning and tilting his head.

"Safflower oil is also medicinal oil, so why does it smell so good? The wet nurse smelled it and found that the smell was stronger than what she usually buys at the pharmacy, which means the medicinal materials in it are good." The wet nurse replied based on her own feeling.

"It feels cool after applying it. It seems to be very comfortable. Nanny, you can prepare more of this." Zhang Anchu felt that his body felt much more comfortable and he was quite satisfied with the safflower oil.

"This is from the palace. I guess there aren't many Professor Shen there." The nanny felt a little pity. Half of this small porcelain bottle was gone after just one use. It can only be used once more and then it will be gone. What will happen in the future?

"What should we do? Nurse, can you make safflower oil?" Zhang Anchu asked with blinking eyes.

The nanny took the clean clothes that Siyu handed over, put them on Zhang Anchu, and replied: "Nanny doesn't know how to do this. How can I understand this?"

"Nanny, you can learn if you don't know how." Zhang Anchu said solemnly. For her, she felt that she didn't know many things in the world now, but she was willing to learn. As long as she was determined and worked hard, she could learn it.

The wet nurse was amused by what she said and said, "Half of the wet nurse's body is about to be buried, how can I learn this?"

"Huh? What does it mean that half of the body is about to be buried?" Zhang Anchu asked doubtfully. If she never understood something, she would ask directly.

"It's just...it's just..." The nanny was stumped. She felt that she couldn't tell Zhang Anchu to say anything about death or death, as it would easily frighten the child, so she said instead: "It's just that the nanny is old."

"The wet nurse obviously doesn't look very old. If you want to learn, you can definitely learn it." Zhang Anchu told the truth, she thought the wet nurse was very powerful.

"Hey... I really can't do anything about you. The nanny will go back and look for it to see how to make safflower oil. When the time comes, let the third lady use the safflower oil made by the nanny!" The nanny had no choice but to agree to this little adult.

This is fine, you can save money by buying it from outside, and you can feel more confident when making it yourself.

After getting dressed, the wet nurse led Zhang Anchu to Aunt Bai's courtyard. At this time, the lights in her room were still on.

The nanny saw the housekeeper sitting next to the Marquis in the courtyard, and guessed that the Marquis was in his room, so she shouldn't disturb him at this time.

"Third Miss, the Marquis should be resting in Aunt Bai's courtyard today. Let's go back." The wet nurse did not lead Zhang Anchu back directly, but still wanted to ask her.

At this moment, Zhang Anchu was about to agree, but the voice of the Marquis came from the room.

"Don't think that I don't know about the good things you have done! You'd better be calm when you enter the Marquis' Mansion, otherwise I want you to look good!"
