The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 469 General Cao's Thoughtfulness

"Master, I have returned to my room. How did I fall asleep?"

Zhao Ting'er groaned, opened her hazy eyes, looked at General Cao and asked softly.

As he spoke, he raised his somewhat weak hand and rubbed his slightly aching temple.

"It's all your fault. I was so busy having fun that I accidentally let you drink too much. You ended up getting drunk. Drink this bowl of hangover soup and have a good sleep."

As General Cao spoke, he took the sobering soup from Nanny Zhao and fed it to Zhao Ting'er himself.

"I'll be here to watch over you, go to sleep!"

After Zhao Ting'er finished drinking the sobering soup, General Cao laid her down on the bed, carefully covered her with a quilt, and spoke gently.

"Master, I have a headache!"

Zhao Ting'er wanted to pull her hand out from under the quilt, but General Cao held her down. He raised his hand and gently massaged Zhao Ting'er's temple, smiling and saying, "I'll massage it for you. Close your eyes and you'll be fine after a good sleep."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you for your hard work!"

Zhao Ting'er felt sweet in her heart. After so many years with the master, this was the first time he treated her so well. It seemed that just as he said, she was in good health now. He was very happy.

Seeing how considerate General Cao was to his wife, Nanny Zhao was both happy and sad. Her young lady had finally made it and won the old general's true love. If only the old general had changed earlier, the young lady had waited until this age.

If General Cao had not turned his back to Madam Zhao, Madam Zhao would have been able to see the depths of General Cao's eyes. Perhaps she would not be happy, but deeply worried.

General Cao massaged Zhao Ting'er's temples rhythmically. Not long after, Zhao Ting'er fell into a deep sleep again.

"Master, I'll ask the maid to get you some water to wash."

Seeing General Cao stand up and walk out quietly, Nanny Zhao followed him and spoke in a low voice.

"No, I won't rest here tonight. I'll go to the study in the front yard. I still have official business to deal with. Madam, please take good care of the lady."

General Cao did not stop walking, and after he finished speaking, he had already walked out of Zhao Ting'er's room.

Acting with Zhao Ting'er for such a long time today is already his limit. When he sees her now, he wants to break her neck to avenge his Yan'er. He is afraid that if they spend too much time together, he will not be able to suppress his murderous intent. The next step is to move into the military camp on the pretext of being busy with official business and spend less time with Zhao Ting'er.

He can just buy her some of her favorite food, snacks, jewelry, etc. to let her know that he cares about her. To coax a woman, you don't need to be with her every day.

The next morning, Zhao Ting'er had just gotten up when Xi Que walked in with a few porcelain cups and a smile on her face. Several maids beside her brought hot water, face towels and other toiletries.

After Zhao Ting'er rinsed her mouth, she let the maid clean her fingers while she stared at the porcelain cup curiously and asked, "What is this?"

"Madam, this is the bird's nest porridge that the master bought for you early in the morning. He bought it from your favorite store and even wanted to hire their cook to make it for you every day."

The magpie lifted the lid of the porcelain cup and said with a smile.

The aroma of bird's nest porridge slowly filled the room.

"Master, you really don't mind the trouble!"

Although Zhao Ting'er said this, the smile on her face revealed her good mood.

"Will the master not breakfast with me?"

Zhao Ting'er asked in confusion when she saw that the bird's nest porridge, snacks and side dishes on the table were all enough for one person.

"The master seems to be very busy with official duties recently. After putting the lady to sleep last night, he went to the study to work! But the master really cares about the lady. Even though he is so busy, he still goes to buy breakfast for you personally."

Nanny Zhao helped Zhao Ting'er sit down at the table and said with a smile.

"The old housekeeper said that after the master bought the breakfast, he hurried to the military camp, as if he had to eat breakfast in the military camp."

Xi Que replied while serving Zhao Ting'er breakfast.

"Madam Zhao, when the master comes back today, tell him that he doesn't need to go shopping for me personally, and that he should take care of his official duties first."

Zhao Ting'er drank her porridge while giving instructions to Madam Zhao.

"Yes, ma'am, you are most considerate and understanding."

Nanny Zhao responded with a smile and praised.

Zhao Ting'er smiled and finished her breakfast quietly.

"It's been a while since I've met up with Madam Jingbei and the others. Madam, do you know what they've been busy with recently?"

Zhao Ting'er hadn't met those ladies she got along well with for a long time, and she was feeling a little restless.

"They are still the same as usual, and they usually go to the Golden House to look at jewelry. During the time when Madam was ill, the ladies who were close to you sent you visiting cards, hoping to come and visit you in person. Master was worried that they would waste Madam's energy and affect her health, so he politely declined."

Those ladies also specially asked people to send in a lot of medicinal herbs for warming and nourishing the body, so Madam Zhao was very grateful and told Zhao Ting'er in detail which lady sent what precious medicinal herbs and so on.

"They are so thoughtful. I am so sincere to them. Mammy, please have someone prepare the carriage. I will go to the teahouse today to see if I can meet them."

Zhao Ting'er suddenly became excited and gave instructions to Madam Zhao.

"Yes, ma'am, I will have someone prepare the carriage right away."

Madam Zhao agreed and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Ting'er again.

"Mammy, go to the storehouse and pick out some suitable gifts to put in the carriage."

Zhao Ting'er stood up and took out a key from a small box beside her bed, then handed it to Madam Zhao with a smile and said.

"Yes, ma'am, don't worry, I will make a careful selection and make sure you are satisfied."

Aunt Zhao took the key and knelt down to say, "After that, she called a few maids to go with her to get the gifts."

Madam Zhao moved quickly. After only two quarters of an hour, the carriage and gifts were ready. Zhao Ting'er still went out happily with Madam Zhao, Xi Que, and four guards! "

"Hey! You're all here. It's so lively. I haven't seen you sisters for a long time. I really missed you!"

Zhao Ting'er arrived at the teahouse of Lady Jingbei Hou and saw that several ladies were there. She said happily.

"Oh! Ting'er, you finally left the house. Are you feeling better now? We were so worried!"

"Sister, you look better than before. You must be healthy now!"

"Yes, you see, the skin on Sister Zhao's face seems to be better!"

......

Several ladies who were drinking tea and chatting heard Zhao Ting'er's voice. At first they thought they had misheard. But when they turned around and saw that it was indeed her, they ignored etiquette and quickly walked to her side, surrounded her, looked at her carefully, and talked happily.

"I'm sorry to have made you worry. These are gifts for you. Please don't reject them."

Zhao Ting'er signaled to Nanny Zhao to distribute the gifts to the ladies and apologized with a smile.
