CHAPTER XLVI

Early the next morning, Liuying carefully wiped the inside and outside of the red-lacquered food box, and took the initiative to say, "Girl, go and deliver the food box." ”

Su Yan stopped her and thought, "Let's go two days." ”

Liuying was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?" ”

"You and my wife just met in Pingshui, and we ate other people's porridge for nothing, how can we return the food box empty-handed?" Su Yan explained.

Liuying nodded in agreement, "It's still the girl who thinks it through." ”

She put the food box in her hand back and looked at Su Yan with her round eyes, "Then what should we send?" ”

Su Yan was worried about this.

It's too precious, it's not okay to be too casual, and the most important thing is the mind.

After thinking about it, she thought it would be better to send something she made herself, but she couldn't think of anything to send for a while.

And the matter was delayed, and this delay was five or six days.

On this day, before the dawn, Su Yan woke up.

With some damp earthy smell in the morning breeze, Su Yan's nose shrugged lightly, and she came to the window with soft satin embroidered shoes, pushed open the wooden window, the thin morning mist smudged the world, and the heaven and earth were full of moist breath.

Liuying came in with a copper basin and saw such a scene, the beautiful woman in the plain white shirt stood in front of the window, with the wet breeze gently raising the hem of her clothes and hair, giving people the feeling that they wanted to ride the wind away!

Liuying was stunned for a while, and after the cool breeze swept across her face and awakened her senses, she hurriedly put down the copper basin in her hand and stepped forward to close the window, and said with dissatisfaction: "Girl, it's cold, why did you get out of bed like this, it's time to get cold!" ”

grabbed Su Yan's hand, it was really cold, Liu Ying hurriedly half-pushed Su Yan back to the bed, grabbed her hand and rubbed it, until the palm of the hand was warmer, and then forced Su Yan to wrap herself in the quilt to eliminate the chill on her body, so she nagged while cleaning her face, "If the girl is not sensible, the girl has a calm and demure personality, not like the girl in the boudoir who loves to play petty, but if the girl is sensible, the girl always likes to do something worrying, which can make the maid say good......

Su Yan raised her wet hand and lightly touched it on Liuying's head, leaving a faint mark of water, and said, "Okay, okay!" I know, not anymore. ”

Liuying raised her sleeves to wipe the watermark on her forehead, and muttered: "The maid didn't believe it, now the promise is good, and I forgot about it when I catch up with Ming'er, so I still have to watch the maid more closely......"

Su Yan took the towel in her hand to dry her hands and face, and changed the topic without a trace, "How long has it been raining outside?" ”

Liuying looked out the window and thought for a while: "It seems to have started last night, more than three hours, an autumn rain and a cold, the sky is cold again, the girl has to add clothes today." ”

"I remember that there was a concubine-colored begonia shirt and dress in the cabinet that I hadn't worn yet, so I'll wear that one today." Su Yan took over the conversation "seriously".

"That's fine." Liuying thought for a while, nodded and said: "The girl wears plain clothes every day, this one is a rare bright color, it happens to be raining, everywhere is foggy, the girl wears this dress is a sight to behold!" ”

Naturally, the next step was to dress and make, and after half an hour, the master and servant sat down at the black round table for breakfast.

It is still a small dish of white porridge, and the soft and sweet white porridge is still steaming with hot white gas, and when you take a sip, you feel that all your internal organs are ironed by this hot and sticky white porridge!

Su Yan has never had a big appetite, a bowl of white porridge is enough to fill up, but Liuying is not, she has to add another steamed bun.

Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Su Yan took the tea handed by Liuying and rinsed her mouth, and motioned for her to continue eating, "You eat first, I'll go to the yard to have a look." ”

While nibbling on the steamed buns, Liuying said vaguely: "Girl, be careful, don't wet your clothes by stepping on water." ”

Her cheeks puffed out hard, and she was so cute that Su Yan couldn't help but poke it, and nodded vigorously, "I know, I know!" Housekeeper! ”

After speaking, he ignored Liuying's protesting eyes, and opened the door and walked out.

The rain has gradually tended to be gone, if it weren't for the water on the ground still rippling, I'm afraid it would be extremely difficult to feel that it was still raining, Su Yan walked back and forth on the corridor, inhaled a few breaths of fresh and humid air, only to feel a freshness in her heart, and even with the mood also floated up, it was rare to give birth to a little little daughter's heart, went down the steps and walked into the rain, gently stepped on the stagnant water at her feet, and left the words of the firefly behind.

After eating, she packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went out, and saw her girl gently lifting one leg, bouncing back and forth on one leg between a puddle of water, the soft skirt rippling with her movements, her whole body was light and cheerful, just looking at it made people feel in a good mood.

Because Su Yan rarely had such a lively and cheerful time, it was Yiliu Ying who looked at the rain, and it was rare that she didn't stop Su Yan and let her have fun.

The clatter of embroidered shoes touching the bluestone floor sounded in the courtyard, adding vitality to the decadent autumn day.

The clothes were slightly stained with a layer of dampness, Su Yan's breath was also disordered, but she still didn't feel happy, she turned around and changed the direction, her feet wanted to move, and when she looked up, she saw a few patches of white on the root system of the dragon pan knot exposed from the pine tree in the southwest corner of the yard, and when she looked at it, it was actually a pine mushroom!

Su Yan was overjoyed, took three steps and made two steps forward and squatted on the edge of the pine root, carefully looked at it and confirmed that it was a pine mushroom, she turned around and greeted Liuying, "Liuying, go to the house and get a basket!" ”

Because Su Yan blocked the bush of pine mushrooms, it was the flowing fireflies who didn't see what attracted the attention of her own girl, although she was puzzled, she still took the bamboo basket with her hands and feet.

Su Yan picked all the slightly larger pine mushrooms on the pine roots and put them in the basket, and then said with great interest: "With an umbrella, let's go to the back mountain for a turn." ”

Liuying touched the round umbrella heads of the pine mushrooms in the basket one by one, thinking about the delicious taste of these little guys, the liquid in her mouth bubbled out, she nodded immediately, went back to the house and took the umbrella and followed Su Yan to the back mountain.

There are large tracts of pine trees growing in the mountains behind Fo Guang Mountain, and after the overnight rain, the pine mushrooms in clusters are densely popping up on the roots, one by one holding a round and lovely umbrella head, you squeeze me, I squeeze you, it's not lively.

Su Yan picked in the front, and Liuying loaded in the back, and it didn't take long for a basket to be full.

Looking at the pine mushrooms that emerged from the bamboo basket between the crooks of his arms, Liuying took out a handkerchief and spread it out in his pocket, and then stopped.

Pine mushrooms are naturally fresh and delicious, and if they are left for a long time, they will lose the freshness of the mountain delicacies.

After all, these pine trees are here, and it rains a lot in autumn, and as long as a small rain, they will grow in patches.

"Girl, let Peng Lei go to the town to buy a chicken in a while, how about we make stewed chicken with pine mushrooms?" Liuying hugged the pine mushroom in his arms and walked to mention yì.

Looking at her salivating appearance, Su Yan couldn't help but smile: "No, it's a Buddhist temple in the end, let's just buy some meat and eat it in private, if you really borrow the small kitchen in the temple to make mushroom stewed chicken, wouldn't it break the rules of the temple and be a great disrespect to the Buddha." ”

Hearing her say this, Liu Ying was deflated all of a sudden, looked down at the mushrooms in her arms, and said, "Then write mushrooms like this, how can we eat them?" ”

Su Yan thought for a moment and said, "Wrap a few pine mushroom and green vegetable buns, and make the rest into sauce." ”

Fang Cai's eyes lit up suddenly, "Okay!" ”

The master and servant borrowed the small kitchen in the temple, one mixed stuffing to make steamed buns, and the other made sauce, and they were busy all afternoon before extinguishing the stove.

Uncovering the cage drawer, before the hot steam dissipated, Liu Ying couldn't wait to twist up a small bun, tore the bun skin and dried it a little before eagerly putting it in his mouth, "Hmm! Delicious! ”

She handed the other half of the bun in her hand to Su Yan's mouth, chewed the bun that was still a little hot in her mouth, and said vaguely: "Girl, try it, it's really delicious!" ”

Fresh pine mushrooms and green vegetables, soft dough, create a delicious and delicious taste bud effect in the mouth, Su Yan's eyes were bright, and she nodded: "I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good." ”

Liuying was stunned, scratched the back of her head and said: "Girl, in fact, the maid will cook a lot of food, but it's just lazy ...... vegetarian days."

Suddenly, she thought of something, and she hurriedly said, "But! However, the lotus seed porridge and maid did not boil as well as the girl. ”

Su Yan smiled and shook her head to show that she didn't mind.

Liuying straightened her chest and said, "When you go down the mountain in the future, the girl will do whatever she wants to eat!" If so, if not, the maid can also learn from others, and it must be eaten by the girl! ”

"Good!" Su Yan smiled dotingly, nodded and said, "Then I'll just wait!" ”

A total of more than a dozen steamed buns, Su Yan ate two, Liuying ate three, and gave four to the little monk who borrowed them in the kitchen, so there were only three or five left. Let's eat other people's lotus seed porridge, it's okay to send a few buns, anyway, it's all eaten. ”

Su Yan shook her head, "No need, you can eat this bun, I think you don't seem to have eaten enough." ”

Liuying's round face turned red, and she sighed for a long time before she held back a sentence, "Auntie, girl, ......"

Her girl just likes to tell the truth.

Su Yan glanced at her playfully, pointed to the white porcelain cup in her hand, and said, "Just send this cup of pine mushroom sauce, bibimbap is salty and appetizing, and it can't be eaten all at once." ”

"Oh......" Liuying looked at the white porcelain cup in Su Yan's hand, and answered with an elongated tone.

Su Yan knew what she was thinking at a glance, and took out a blue and white porcelain bowl with a smile, "Oh, there's still one here, keep it for you!" ”

was poked through what she thought in her heart, and Liuying became more and more embarrassed, blushing and laughing.

It was still early outside, so after cleaning up the kitchen, Su Yan went back to the house to change her clothes, and took Liuying to the squatter room behind the Manjushri Palace.

There were only a few squatter rooms in a row behind the Manjushri Palace, and Su Yan asked the little novice who was sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the hall, and found Wu Qing's location.

Wu Qing is a middle-aged man, in his early thirties, wearing a green shirt and robe, with a belt of the same color tied around his waist, showing a lean waist, when Su Yan arrived, he was wiping a sword in the house, the blade was sharp and shining silver, and his expression was focused as if what was in front of him was not a dead thing, but his companion who was born and died.

Sensing that there was someone outside the door, Wu Qing pointed his sword straight at Su Yan.

Su Yan had never seen such a sharp person, her body stiffened for a while, and it took a long time to find her voice, "But Master Wu Qingwu?" ”

Fortunately, her face made people feel no malice, Wu Qing put away the sword, and said coldly: "I am, who is the girl?" ”

Liuying behind Su Yan hurriedly carried the red lacquer inlaid luodian food box in her hand, and said in a trembling voice: "I, we are here to return the food box!" ”

Wu Qing's scrutinizing gaze fell on the food box in her hand.

Su Yan explained: "I asked for some lotus seed porridge from a lady a few days ago, and I came to return the food box today. ”

Lotus seed porridge? Thinking of the lotus seed porridge that the Queen Mother often ate a few days ago, and then looking at the logo on the handle of the food box, Wu Qing had a general idea in his heart, and stepped forward to take the food box, but felt that the weight in his hand was a little wrong, and when he opened the lid of the food box, he saw the white porcelain cup in it.

Liu Ying hurriedly said: "This, this is the lotus seed porridge that my girl specially made to thank that lady!" ”

Wu Qing nodded expressionlessly, signaling that he knew.

Seeing this, Su Yan didn't stay any longer, and turned around with Liuying to leave, but when she turned around, she saw that Mama Yuezhi was coming from the side hall of Manjushri Hall.

Seeing that she looked hurried and seemed to have something important, Su Yan avoided the road.

Mama Yuezhi didn't even notice her, she walked straight to Wu Qing, and was about to open her mouth to realize that there were other people in the scene, she hurriedly changed her words: "Madame has always woken up with palpitations in the past two days and nights, and for several days in a row, the doctor prescribed a prescription, and some of the herbs that can be brought have been used up, so you ordered someone to go down the mountain quickly and buy them." ”

Wake up with heart palpitations?

Su Yanben paused for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and finally returned, and said to Yuezhi's grandmother: "Wake up with palpitations, do you have night sweats, dry mouth, and tremors of your hands and feet?" ”

As soon as she said this, Mama Yuezhi and Wu Qing were stunned, Wu Qing was secretive, but Mama Yuezhi was overjoyed and said, "The girl came to return the food box?" ”

Su Yan nodded, pointing to the food box on the table behind Wu Qing, "Yes, it has been returned." ”

Thinking of what she said just now, Mama Yuezhi said again: "My wife does have these symptoms that the girl said, I don't know ......."

Su Yan nodded: "Awakening with palpitations, it is difficult to sleep after waking up, accompanied by night sweats, dry mouth, and tremors of hands and feet, it should be the blood and heat, if my guess is right, that lady should be worried and sad recently." ”

Saying that, she looked at Mama Yuezhi, and after seeing her nod, Su Yan continued, "This symptom does not need to take medicine, you can acupuncture Neiguan and Shenmen two acupoints, so the effect is faster." ”

Mama Yuezhi thought for a while, handed the paper in her hand to Wu Qing, and ordered, "You order someone to go down the mountain to buy medicine." ”

He turned back to Su Yan and said, "Thank you, girl." ”

Afraid that Su Yan would be too careful, she explained: "It's not that I don't believe in the girl, my wife is expensive, but I can't be the master, I need to ask the doctor at home." ”

The house of the powerful has more or less written rules, and Su Yan has not seen it before, so she naturally understands, she smiled lightly to indicate that she understood, and then left with Liuying.

Mama Yuezhi looked at her back, and she was in a long trance.

Not only the eyebrows and eyes, but also this temperament.

How can there be two people so similar in this world?

***

"Imperial Doctor Han, the old slave asked the last sentence, is it possible to acupuncture and moxibustion in the form of blood and heat in this camp, and the second acupoint of Shenmen?" As soon as she returned to the hospital, Mama Yuezhi immediately went to ask Imperial Doctor Han who left the palace with the Queen Mother.

Han Jin is nearly thirty years old, and before leaving the palace with the Queen Mother, he has been sentenced to the Tai Hospital, and he is only one step away from the hospital envoy, but he is willing to leave the palace with the Queen Mother for some reason.

"Guannei, Shenmen ......" Han Jin lightly touched the two acupuncture points on his body and muttered in a low voice.

Mama Yuezhi quietly waited for his results.

Suddenly, Han Jin raised his eyelids and asked inexplicably, "Where did Mama get the method?!" ”

Yuezhi Mama hesitated and asked, "What's wrong with this method?" ”

Han Jin shook his head and said, "No, naturally not, this method is wonderful!" ”

Mama Yuezhi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "This is the method said by a girl who the old slave knows." ”

"Girl?" Han Jin frowned and asked again, "How old are you?" ”

"Seventeen or eighteen." Mama Yuezhi became more and more unaware of what Han Jin wanted.

Han Jin's brows tightened, he thought for a moment or two, and then asked, "Is there an old man beside her?" ”

Mama Yuezhi suddenly remembered something, and said with a shocked expression: "You mean ......?"

Han Jin nodded solemnly, "This technique is indeed unique to Master. ”
