Chapter 56: The maid Xiaocui
Fengshan City is boundless, this is the first time Xu Yan came to this Fengdu, after he saw the Mei family's pharmacy in Fengshan City, he was stunned to think that this pharmacy was a huge inn or restaurant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The pharmacy has three floors, so how many herbs do you have to hold?
There are indeed many kinds of herbs in the Mei family pharmacy, from thousands of medicinal materials, Xu Yan finally found all the herbs for preparing the antidote, not only did he get enough to detoxify the amount of medicine, Xu Yan also took several more, as many as 100 kinds of medicinal materials to see the eyes of the Mei family steward.
I just ate a poisonous mushroom, can I use so many herbs?
After all, it was to see his own young lady, and the person in charge didn't say anything, and when Xu Yan found all the herbs and returned to Meifu with him.
As long as the herbs are gathered, the boiling is relatively simple, and the red-hot stove has a medicine jar, gurgling with a strong smell of medicine.
The place where the medicine was boiled was in the wing room of Mei's house, which was generally a place for guests to stay, and on the bed in the house, Mei Sanniang was still unconscious.
Xu Yan thought that Mei Sanniang was left in the back house, but she was put in this kind of place, and he once again felt that the Mei family treated Mei Sanniang coldly and unfamiliarly, as if this woman no longer belonged to the Mei family.
In fact, Mei Sanniang was indeed carried to the back house, and was blasted out by her two sisters-in-law, saying that the women in the bandit cave were unclean and unlucky, and the Mei family was a big family, so that outsiders knew how to gain a foothold in Fengdu, and the Mei family's century-old signboard was gone.
When he came back from finding the herbs, Xu Yanzheng heard two richly dressed women with golden hairpins pinching their waists outside the door of the wing room and reprimanding a few ignorant maidservants.
The two of them were dressed in silk and satin, full of luxury, they were Mei Sanniang's two sisters-in-law, they were relatives, but they didn't think about it, but they were vicious words.
In order to survive in the bandit cave, women have to become prostitutes, what have served the bandits for five years and still have the face to go home, not afraid of neighborhood jokes, if they were plundered by thieves, they would have wiped their necks by themselves, who still has the face to come back, speaking of anger, a slightly older woman pinched a servant girl one by one, scolded them for not having long eyes, and dared to carry such a dirty woman to the back house.
You don't need to look at it, the girl must be bruised and purple.
Xu Yan walked into this room under the vicious words and disdainful eyes of the women, and the little Taoist priest holding the herb didn't even look at the two women, which provoked the two long-tongued women to add a crime of unclear to Mei Sanniang, and cursed viciously again that the current Taoist people don't want to be faceless and so on, and then twisted his fat waist and left.
Since it was a curse, Xu Yan naturally turned a deaf ear, the two were just two things that were not much different from ghosts, and his blindness was not in vain.
While Xu Yan was boiling the medicine, a figure stumbled in, dressed as a maidservant, combing the woman's hairstyle, and crying as soon as she entered the door.
"Miss! Miss! Woo woo woo ......"
The maid who came was named Xiaocui, who was Mei Sanniang's original personal maid, Miss was killed, and the original maid had no master, and was later transferred by the second lady, and now she is responsible for waiting for Mei Sanniang's second sister-in-law.
Since childhood, she has followed Mei Sanniang's maid, which can be regarded as a deep sisterhood, a farewell for five years, Xiaocui thought that Miss died at the hands of the bandits, and today she learned that Miss was back, she immediately hurried over, just now I saw the two ladies cursing outside the door and did not dare to come in, and only when the other party left did she dare to come in to visit.
"Miss, what's wrong with you, wake up, Miss. I finally looked forward to Mei Sanniang, but she was unconscious, and Xiaocui's tears couldn't be stopped.
can be regarded as seeing a close person, after Xu Yan asked Xiaocui's identity, he briefly explained Mei Sanniang's situation, so he finally had an extra helper.
I couldn't lift my hands, those herbs were brought back by Xu Yan gritted his teeth, if there was no Xiaocui to help, relying on Xu Yan himself, he might not be able to light firewood when it was dark.
After an hour of boiling, the antidote was finally dispensed, and Xiao Cui poured it into Mei Sanniang, and Xu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief after checking it.
The eyebrows are not black, the eyes are not big, and the poisonous gas has not yet reached the heart, the life of the third sister can be regarded as picking it up.
A pair of medicines can't solve the poison of hook kisses, the toxicity in Mei Sanniang's body has been suppressed by the antidote, and it won't attack for the time being, if you want to get rid of it completely, let alone half a month.
Anyway, the amount of medicine caught was enough, and Xu Yan lived in Mei's house as a matter of course.
Mei's wing room is not one, but a row, there may not be many visitors recently, more than a dozen large wing rooms are all empty, the tables and chairs in it are complete, and the living is more comfortable than the inn.
Picked a room next to Mei Sanniang, Xu Yan would boil herbs twice a day, Xiaocui would also come over to help, three days later, Mei Sanniang finally woke up, her complexion was not too good, and her spirit was good.
"How many days did I sleep?"
The woman leaning on the head of the bed had bright eyes, only a little sadness, and she recognized what this place was, this was not her boudoir, but a wing room for entertaining outsiders.
"Three days. ”
Xu Yan's head was lifted from the big bowl on the table, the corners of his mouth were all rice grains, and he said with a smile.
There is no way, I can't lift my hands, I can only bury my face in the bowl when I eat, and the little black pig on the ground who also buried my face in the food bowl heard the movement, and also raised his head, purring and screaming, fortunately, the Mei family is still in charge of the meal, otherwise Xu Yan and the pig will be hungry.
The little Taoist priest who acted like a pig made the woman giggle, and the haze in her heart caused by the neglect of her family became indifferent.
It's better to be alive than anything else.
"Help me up. Mei Sanniang struggled to get up.
"Third sister, you have to recuperate. Xu Yan hurriedly came to the front to stop it, and said, "It will take at least half a month to go to the ground, and the poison has not been removed yet." ”
Grabbing Xu Yan's robe, Mei Sanniang sat up staggeringly, pointed to the big wooden barrel behind the screen, and said, "Go get some hot water for the third sister, I want to wash my body." ”
Women love cleanliness, and they have been running all the way for more than half a month, Xu Yan doesn't care, Mei Sanniang may not be able to stand it for a long time, there is no way, Xu Yan has to go outside to find water.
Fortunately, there is a well not far away, and there is a stove and cauldron in the house, so it is not a hassle to boil some hot water, but it is too bad to carry water.
Xu Yan's arm couldn't move, so Xiao Hei became the main force of pulling water, and after eating, the pig was also able to work.
finally got half a bucket of hot water, Xu Yan was tired and sweaty, this is not good, Mei Sanniang said that he was a lazy reincarnation, so he had to cry and mourn his face, and prepare to eat a few more bowls for dinner.
Xu Yan's arm hurt the tendon but not the bone, a few months of recuperation can be healed, this is also a young man's body is soft, as long as it is not a serious injury, the recovery time is much faster than that of an adult.
Helped to the bucket by the little Taoist, Mei Sanniang casually sprinkled the bucket of dried plum blossoms in the small wooden box, which is also her habit, the only memory that she has not forgotten in the past five years.
Looking at the petals floating on the water, Mei Sanniang exhaled a long breath.
She wanted to wash her body vigorously before going home, washing away those unbearable memories, but now it seems that even if she washes off a layer of skin, she will not be able to exchange for the forgiveness and acceptance of her family.
Gently pulling the belt, a touch of fragrant shoulders appeared, and the shoulders and backs that were as white as mutton fat suddenly appeared in front of them, and the woman with her back to Xu Yan began to untie her clothes, and between the coquettish smiles, the little Taoist priest was frightened and fled.
