102 My grandfather's family was happy
When the elderly are sick, the most important thing is to rely on a nourishment word.
Xia Chu knew many health regimens in the court, and the Zheng family was not short of money, so she wrote two unobtrusive ones, and they were all available on the same day.
The maid came in with a bowl of black medicinal juice, and Mrs. Zheng subconsciously frowned, but in front of her granddaughter, she was embarrassed to say that she didn't want to drink the medicine.
But when I got closer, I smelled a sweet smell that went straight to the tip of my nose, like a fruity smell.
Old Madam Zheng smelled too much of the bitter medicine juice, and suddenly saw this, and was a little curious: "What is this?" It doesn't look like an eye, but it smells good. ”
"This is an ancient method of loquat paste made with rock sugar juice, which nourishes yin and moistens the lungs, and is very effective in treating cough and expectorant." Xia Chu said with a smile. "This is a good thing, the maids boiled slowly for two hours to get such a bowl!"
"It's rock candy and loquat, it must not be very difficult to eat, bring me a taste." Old Madam Zheng crackled with an abacus in her heart. This cough is uncomfortable, and if it can be cured, it will be great.
The maid lowered her head when she heard it, where is the loquat, it is clearly the loquat leaves!
But the old lady of the family commanded, and she couldn't stop, so she had to come to the bedside. Xia Chu stepped forward to stop her and let her rest on the table: "This can't be eaten like this, it's too tired." ”
The little maid was a little overwhelmed.
Mrs. Zheng pondered in her heart, I'm afraid it's still medicine in the end, and you have to pay attention to taking medicine!
I didn't see that Xia Churen's uncle couldn't believe her, and said very openly: "Listen to Chu'er!" ”
At the beginning of the summer, she smiled, so she asked the maid to take a small bowl, scooped a spoon of thick loquat paste out, and then melted it with hot water that was not very hot, and the black ointment like bitter medicine juice suddenly turned into a light brown bowl.
Only then did he take it over and serve Mrs. Zheng to drink medicine.
Mrs. Zheng took a sip, only to feel that the entrance was faintly sweet, and there was no taste of loquat fruit, but with a little almond fragrance, a little bitter, but there was a strange coolness, soothing her burning throat.
Although it didn't have much effect after swallowing, it was finally able to be poured into the throat.
It's better than those potions that are so bitter that people's faces turn yellow.
Smacking her lips, Old Madam Zheng immediately stretched out her hand to take the bowl and said, "Bring it and drink it myself." ”
"Then you drink slowly, it's still a little hot."
In fact, it is better to drink it hot, but Mrs. Zheng has coughed for so long for fear of hurting her throat, so it is better to swallow it slowly.
"It's still my granddaughter's sweetness." Old Madam Zheng said with a smile.
If my sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren hear this, I'm afraid that everyone will have to cry out.
This is a mother, hey, they are also filial!
"This ordinary can be made and drunk, and it has no medicinal properties, so everyone in the family can use some." Xia Chu saw that she drank slowly, hung his head and said: "It's almost enough to melt three bowls a day, if the cough is bad, add another bowl." ”
"That's a good thing." Old Madam Zheng nodded and handed the empty bowl to the maid: "Your grandfather usually likes to have a dry cough, and it doesn't matter how many doses of medicine he takes, but this is cool when he drinks it...... It's strange to say, this is obviously a hot medicinal juice, why is it so comfortable to eat? ”
"There's a silver pill in it." At the beginning of summer.
Old Mrs. Zheng nodded, although she didn't know the medicinal properties, she also knew that Yindan grass, which is commonly used in summer, is good for boiling juice or rubbing it, and it is very refreshing.
In the end, I was thinking about my old man and a few children, so I asked someone to take the rest and give some to each room.
At the beginning of summer, it didn't stop it, it's not a rare thing, and it's just a matter of boiling it again.
After talking for a while, Mrs. Zheng was also surprised, such a big child, she could talk to her with anything, not like a child. I felt a little hurt that she was sensible, and her body was really uncomfortable, and she was a little sleepy, so she said: "Don't keep pestle in my house if you are a villain, go play with your cousins and cousins!" ”
Xia Chu saw it, so he didn't refuse, blessed the blessing, and went out with the maids.
The girls on the Zheng family's side also study, but this will be out of school. You don't have to go back in the afternoon, you can do some red needlework or other things to pass the time.
There were many children in the house, and they were all staying together, and before they entered the house, they heard lively talking.
Children are not as open as adults, everything has a comparison, seeing that when the summer came to the house, the hearts and eyes of grandparents were boundless, and there was a taste in my heart. The younger ones deliberately ignored her.
The eldest cousin had to set an example and lead her into a small group.
"What does my cousin do at home? Reading and writing? True thread female red? "The eldest cousin is sleek, it is estimated that it is genetic, and the children of the people who do business are shrewd, and they don't want to offend people easily, so they pull her to speak softly.
"Sometimes I practice calligraphy, sometimes I play chess," Xia Chu is the best at dealing with people, and said with a smile: "Female red will also be a little, but it is not very good." But the second sister in the family will have some fresh tricks, I have written them down, and I will draw two pictures for my cousins and cousins, right? ”
"Aren't all the tricks, what's new?" The third cousin, who was about the same age as Xia Chu, muttered.
The second cousin and the third cousin are in the same family, and she glared at her sister when she heard this, but she also knew that her sister was jealous.
When the cousin didn't come, the third sister had a sweet mouth, and her grandfather and grandmother liked her the most, and when the cousin came, the grandchildren all had to let go to the sky.
The third cousin flattened her mouth, but she was quite obedient, and she didn't say anything sour anymore.
Xia Chu acted as if he hadn't heard it, and said, "Do you have a pen and paper?" ”
The eldest cousin hurriedly said, "Yes." Then he called the maid to fetch it, and lay the ink and paper.
Xia Chu has a good memory, and she remembers a lot of tricks, but some of them are from the palace, and she doesn't dare to use them outside. I don't know if this royal taboo is taboo now, so she has never taken it out.
The styles of clothes designed by Xia Bangqiu are all relatively innovative, as for the patterns...... The small animals she drew were all relatively cute and cute, and at the beginning of the summer, they were interesting to see, so she wrote them all down.
Now that it is depicted, it is even more chubby and cute, and a few young girls fell in love at a glance.
"I want this...... This is a cat, right? ”
"I think it's a tiger, and it has the word king on its head!"
The eldest cousin fell in love with a round panda picture: "What is this?" Chubby is so cute. ”
Xia Chu glanced at it: "This is an iron rodmon." ”
The eldest cousin was stunned, they had all read the book, so they naturally knew the name of this iron beast.
The "Divine Sutra" says: "There is a beast in the south, whose name is iron." ”?
There is also a cloud in "Erya Liberation Beast": "Like a bear, with a small head, paralyzed feet, black and white barges can lick and eat copper, iron and bamboo bones." ”
There is also a legend that the iron beast is the legendary fierce beast Pixiu, but it is misinformation, but because of this, it has some bad luck.
"That's not good." The eldest cousin was a little reluctant to put down the iron beast diagram in his hand, and picked out a long ear, but it was a little weird, and asked uncertainly: "Is this a rabbit?" ”
"Hmm." Xia Chu nodded.
She didn't say it, Xia Bangqiu called it Bugs Bunny.
Rabbits still have a ranking.
Not to mention this rabbit, what else is Donald Duck Mickey Mouse, domestic animals bring mice with names and surnames. At that time, Xia Bangqiu said them one by one, and the whole room was stunned.
Later, I knew that I couldn't use it for tricks, so I was stunned and made a doll for her.
Don't say it, at least Sister An of the second sister-in-law's family, she can't say all the paintings of a little baby, but she doesn't let go of those dolls.
I can't handle the craftsmanship, but I can't stand the cute, cute, and interesting look.
At the beginning of the summer, I became more and more curious about the original era of Xia Bangqiu, what are these strange animals with names and surnames?
In the end, the eldest cousin chose the Bugs Bunny, and the second cousin liked the Tigger, saying that she wanted to make such a belly pocket for her little brother, cute and majestic, and the fourth cousin refused to let go of the good talk of the iron beast.
"That's it, I can't see it anyway, so if she likes it, I'll make her a purse." The eldest cousin said helplessly.
The third cousin stared at Winnie the Pooh holding the honey pot, but she had only stabbed Xia Chu before, and she was embarrassed to say that she liked that, so she froze awkwardly.
How can you not see it at the beginning of summer? pushed the rest of the tricks to her: "The third cousin also chooses one, it's just fun, but I don't dare to embroider on my clothes." ”
The third cousin looked at her eldest sister and second sister, and saw that they were just smiling and not joking, so she squirmed and chose the Winnie the Pooh: "That...... That's what I'm going to do. ”
The rest of the early summer was confiscated, and only the eldest cousin's maid was collected, and it was good to play in the future.
I also told them how to make a puppet.
The girls in the room suddenly became much more harmonious.
How much enmity is there? It's just a child's sour taste, and after a while, they will play together.
got a new trick at the beginning of summer, and the sisters discussed giving her something to return the gift.
Xia Chu said with a smile: "I'm just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, but I deviate from the craftsmanship of my sisters." ”
The eldest cousin was curious: "Why does Second Sister Xia have so many novel ideas?" I've never seen it before. ”
"What it looks like in the books, right?" Xia Chu said to them according to Xia Bangqiu's original words: "The second sister said that it was made by a gentleman named Disney, not that she came up with it. ”
"I haven't heard of this gentleman's name."
"Isn't it an embroiderer? Why haven't I seen it? ”
"It's not something that can be used in big tricks, maybe it's because of this that it's not well-known." The eldest cousin gave the sex, and said, "You gave us this, will the second sister Xia be unhappy?" ”
"No, I asked the second sister, and she was also willing." At the beginning of summer.
Xia Bangqiu actually wants to open a doll shop at home.
But this thing is simple, others will do it at a glance, and the delicate embroidery girl can do it better.
Their family does not have an embroidery village, but they run a few cloth villages. Even if you do it, no one will buy it at all.
is also used by his own family, or as a favor to give away, after Xia Bangqiu understood this, he left it alone, let them give it or give it away, it is worthless, of course, it is not guarded.
"That's what she found out, our sisters are playing by ourselves, but we are not allowed to spread it." The eldest cousin solemnly instructed a few younger sisters, and asked Xia Chu: "I don't know what the second sister Xia likes?" When we get her things, we have to return the gift. ”
This is everyone's beautiful style!
The beginning of summer.
What does Xia Bangqiu want most?
Two words 'silver'.
But it would be cheesy to give money directly, although Xia Bangqiu might not be unhappy, but no one did it.
"The second sister likes cooking, if there is any recipe for meals at home, it is better to copy a copy to me, and I will bring it back to her when the time comes."
That's a good idea.
Everyone's girls don't have to be too good at cooking, but they can't not learn at all, and it's better to have good cooking skills than not to have them.
Most of the people who can eat are picky, and most of the people who can cook eat carefully.
However, the most important thing in the world is to have money.
Shinong industry and commerce, so many people in the world despise merchants, but they can't leave merchants.
Contradictory.
The girls are coaxed, and the boys are even better bluffed. When she came, Mei loaded a cart of things for her, many of which were for the children of the Zheng family.
The boys are the simplest, one person has a set of four treasures in the study, and it is not necessary to change it so rarely, but it also costs dozens of taels of silver.
The Zheng family has a large population base, and there are a lot of them when they are sent!
The younger ones will send some delicate gadgets, such as longevity locks, nine rings, etc., and it will be.
Speaking of which, even if the Zheng family is at home, they may not be so well prepared.
Being a daughter is different from being a daughter-in-law, if Zheng goes back to his parents' house, he will bring some casually.
Anyway, my mother's family doesn't lack anything.
Mei's is a foreign family to please her husband!
At the beginning of the summer, I played with the cousins of the Zheng family for an afternoon, and the sisters were just like one person.
Seeing this, Old Man Zheng and Old Madam Zheng naturally smiled.
It's good to get along well!
"Ming'er is Chongyang, we have to prepare to climb the heights and plant dogwood, father and mother, is our family still going to Jishan outside the county?" After dinner, the eldest uncle suddenly talked about the Chongyang Festival.
Old Man Zheng glanced at his son: "What, do you have something else to like?" ”
The eldest uncle smiled: "Exactly! Didn't my son's son go to the south? But in order to buy that hot spring Zhuangzi, there is just a Weishan Mountain over there, and it is also a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, my son pondered, our family should go out to relax, and inserted the dogwood back to soak in the hot spring, wouldn't it be good? ”
"You can make up your mind." Old Man Zheng did not object.
Old Madam Zheng frowned slightly.
She is not well-fed, so she is reluctant to go far away. Nawei Mountain is still in another county, and it will take two or three days to come and go.
But seeing that the children were all happy, she was not good at spoiling her fun.
Xia Chu understood when he saw her face, and comforted in a low voice: "I heard that the hot spring can remove the cold and avoid filth, and dispel all kinds of diseases, maybe my grandmother can soak in it more." ”
"You little girl, why do you talk so much?" Old Madam Zheng stretched her eyebrows, looked at her and smiled: "If you say this, you don't want to go, and you can't say that you want to go and see." ”
"It's written in the book, but I didn't make it up." Xia Chu blinked and said, "Soaking in hot springs is good for your body, so you should go more on weekdays!" (To be continued.) )
