Chapter 6: Home Remedies

The voice was full of little daughter-like scoundrels and attachments. Hearing this, Mu Jinshang gritted his teeth and walked out of this dilapidated courtyard quickly.

As soon as he got out of the yard, he looked at Qiushui with sharp eyes, "You go and ask Mama Zhao from your mother's side to come and get a chicken for the fourth sister by the way." Also, ask the chief steward, what's going on with the fourth sister's monthly routine? ”

Qiushui nodded resignedly: "Miss, the matter of the month is ...... Madame." ”

"Just ask, I'll explain it to my mother." Mu Jinshang walked back angrily, she had to think about it, Mu Jinrou's performance today was something she had never seen before, although she was a lot stupid, but the whole person seemed to be angry.

Since Mu Jinshang left, everyone here breathed a sigh of relief, and Xue Zhu hurriedly ran out and closed the courtyard door.

Zizhu's medicine was also boiled and brought into the house, "The fourth girl, drink it while it's hot, the slave has tried it, it's just right, it's not hot." ”

Mu Jinrou looked at the bowl of black things in front of her, a rushing smell of herbs, and her brows wrinkled involuntarily, "Mama, are you sure this is not poison?" ”

Mama Li was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Fourth girl, this medicine was only prescribed by the lady last year after Miss had a high fever for two days, and the lady asked the doctor in the house to prescribe it, and it won't be wrong." It didn't take long for Miss to get better after drinking the medicine last year. ”

Mu Jinrou frowned and felt that something was wrong, and asked, "I often have a fever?" You get up first. ”

Mama Li got up and said, "Madame's body was not very good when she was pregnant with the girl, and the girl was born with a weak physique, and she would have a high fever if she felt a cold occasionally. ”

"No wonder the physical fitness is so poor." Mu Jinrou let out a long sigh, "It turns out that it was caused by congenital deficiency and acquired malnutrition." Is there a recipe? Let me see. ”

Mama Li raised her head and said in surprise: "Miss, you ......." ”

Mu Jinrou smiled slightly and laughed at herself: "Mama thinks I'm illiterate, right?" My mother asked my husband to teach us sisters, at least the female admonition I carried the rolling melon on my back, and punished me for copying the female commandment. ”

"Miss, Mama didn't mean that. Miss is really amazing today, you didn't see the face of the eldest lady. Mama Li suddenly felt that her girl seemed to have opened her mind, and there was nothing happier than this.

It's not that she didn't notice the difference between Mu Jinrou, but she felt that this person was chaotic before she opened her mind, and it would be fine after she opened her mind, but she had been looking forward to her own girl's enlightenment.

Mu Jinrou was also afraid of being exposed, so she took the initiative to pull it up, "Actually, I don't want to pretend to be stupid like this, it's really ......, you see that we only have a hundred Wen, and my monthly routine is not as good as the big girl next to my big sister!" If we don't pull ourselves together, the four of us will have to starve to death here. Since my eldest sister got sick, I have never been called by my mother to visit the door, and I have not been rewarded, and our lives are ....... ”

Mama Li, Xuezhu and Zizhu immediately sobbed, "Miss, don't say it, it's all us who have affected Miss, we eat for nothing, but we can't share it for Miss." ”

Mu Jinrou sighed again: "Don't cry, I didn't mean that." I know that Mama and Xuezhu and Zizhu are good to me, if you didn't protect me in this cannibalistic mansion, I might not be alive now, what do you say? Yesterday when I was admiring the moon, I saw my dead mother, and she smiled at me, and then I seemed to suddenly figure it out.

I felt that I couldn't go on like this, I was twelve, and if I continued like this, I would not be able to do it, and I would be ashamed of what my mother expected of me before she died, and then I fell down with a headache. I had a long dream at night, and in the dream, my mother taught me not to be as weak as her, so I ......, but I only pretend to be stupid. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head and sniffed as if he were crying, but he was ashamed of his lies. didn't know that Mama Li and the others couldn't cry anymore.

After a while, Mama Li took the lead in wiping away her tears and said, "The slave is ashamed of Madame, thanks to Madame's Lady in the Heavenly Spirit." Miss rest assured, even if our mother and wife work hard, we will let Miss grow up safely, as long as we wait for my uncle and them to return to Beijing, Miss will have a backer. ”

"Oh." For the uncle who had never met, Mu Jinrou didn't want to ask more, and now she was only thinking about how she could not drink this medicine.

Seeing that the medicine was about to get cold, Mu Jinrou said: "Mama, although I don't read much, one day I found a medical book in the book left by my mother, which said that medicine is poisonous if you take it for a long time. You see, I've been drinking this medicine for more than a year, so I'm not going to drink it this time, I'm really afraid that there is something bad in it. ”

"It's ......." Hearing her say this, Mama Li was also afraid, and she also understood the privacy of the back house, otherwise their wife would not have gone so early.

Mu Jinrou said again: "Fang Zi show me." ”

Zizhu trotted back to the house to get the recipe.

After reading the prescription, Mu Jinrou said: "It's just a fever, and I don't have a cough, why do I need to take more of these medicines?" Also, there is a senna here, which is not a good medicine. ”

In modern times, her mother was ill all the year round, and taking Western medicine was no longer helpful, so she turned to Chinese medicine. She didn't know how many home remedies she had found for her mother, and although her understanding of Chinese medicine was not as good as that of a doctor, she was a master compared to ordinary people.

Although senna has the effects of diarrhoeal fever stagnation, water swelling, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and choleretic, the sequelae are very huge. Long-term consumption will cause addiction, and it will also cause a series of terrible symptoms such as fever and high blood pressure.

Nowadays, there are many people who use this to lose weight, but they don't know that this is a joke with their lives. She looked down at her tiny arm and sneered again, no wonder the original body was just frightened and died of heart palpitations.

Although she is only a twelve-year-old girl, she doesn't believe that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, who have always regarded her as a thorn in her side, are so kind.

Mu Jinrou is a female man, but it doesn't mean that she has no heart, even if she has no heart, if she wants to survive at this point, she has to learn to have a heart.

He looked at them and smiled: "In those two years in the countryside, I once gave an old man who was dying of hunger a mouthful of food. He gave me a book full of remedies. Why don't I tell me a home remedy, and Mama will try to boil medicine for me.

Xuezhu went to find a piece of jade, and then got some spirits, and I will teach you gua sha. After the medicine was boiled, the sha was scraped, and I just drank it and sweated, and it will be fine in the afternoon. ”

Mu Jinrou said one thing at a time, although Mama Li didn't believe what she said, she always did what she said, so she nodded and agreed.

"A handful of glutinous rice is boiled into soup, seven green onion roots and seven slices of ginger, boiled and mixed into half a bottle of vinegar, and the cold is safe and healthy!" Mu Jinrou finished the home remedies with a smile and motioned for Mama Li to do it.

Mama Li and Zizhu were helpless, so they had to bring the medicine into the small kitchen again.

This will Xue Zhu also found a peace buckle, this jade is an old jade, the color is old, and it is not a good jade at first glance. But Mu Jinrou knew that she was enough, and just when she wanted to take off her clothes to scrape, an impatient voice sounded outside.
