Chapter 2608 Fat Lady
"My lady, the master hasn't come back yet. He just sent someone back and said he won't be back for dinner, but he will come back to rest at night." Dongxue twisted the towel and handed it to Gu Xin, answering.
"Oh, I see. Dongxue, have someone prepare the bath water. I'm not feeling well and need to take a good bath. By the way, tell Sisi that I'm awake and ask her to come over. She just wants to hear gossip." Gu Xin wiped her face, sobered up, and said.
"Okay, Third Miss." Dongxue went down to prepare.
It was still very hot at this time. Gu Xin came to the bathroom, waiting for the maids to run the water, and sat comfortably in the bathtub.
After a while, Gu Si came and brought food.
"Third sister, did you sleep well? I heard that you wanted to take a bath, so my mother asked me to bring you one. My mother said it's not good to take a bath on an empty stomach, so she insisted that I bring you one. My mother really doesn't know how healthy you are!" Gu Si sat on a stool next to the bathtub, like a chatterbox, and then fed Gu Xin something to eat.
"Third sister, you don't know that little fool Renren wants to come with us! Doesn't he know that he is already seven years old? He still thinks he is a little kid! Even if he is a little kid, there is no reason for him to come with us, right?"
"I know that Renren must want to hear the story of Lu Ni and Prince Frog! I want to hear it too. Third sister, you don't know that it has been spread all over the outside today that the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is finally getting married, and she is marrying Prince Frog, who has good conditions in all aspects."
"People outside also spread that the two fell in love at the posthouse and almost let Prince Frog take the child back to Dongzhe! Third sister, is that so? Is that so? Aren't you investigating the case? How can you give them a chance to get the child out?"
Gu Si spoke slowly, but he fed Gu Xin very quickly.
"Sisi sister, you are talking to yourself and blocking my mouth with something, how can I answer you?" Gu Xin said helplessly, blocking Gu Si's feeding.
"Ah, this..." Gu Si paused, then smiled foolishly, "I'm just worried that you, Third Sister, are hungry. My mother said that someone fainted after taking a bath on an empty stomach!"
"Who is this someone?" Gu Xin asked curiously.
Has anyone else fainted after taking a bath?
"It was a fat lady my mother knew. Her master brought a concubine back home. The fat lady was furious and thought that it was because of her fatness that her master brought someone back home, so she didn't eat and was hungry! It just so happened that she had the habit of taking a bath for 25 minutes every day. So, she fainted after being too hungry?" Gu Si explained.
"..." Gu Xin was speechless, and then she thought of the fat lady her aunt knew, and immediately recognized the nickname. She couldn't help but laugh, "Is it Madam Pang? My aunt is really something. She learned to give people nicknames from my uncle. If Madam Pang knew about it, wouldn't she be even more hungry?"
Madam Pang's background was similar to Zhang's. They both came from the village. Mr. Pang entered the government through the imperial examination. He was lucky and capable, and finally became a Beijing official in the capital.
Perhaps because of their similar backgrounds and the fact that they were both a little round, Zhang and Madam Pang could be said to be very good friends. After all, Madam Pang entered this circle earlier than Zhang and taught Zhang a lot.
