Chapter 104: The Book of Medicine
An Rong looked at the stillness, Mother Yu was completely different from what she remembered.
has aged a lot, and her skin is no longer as fair as when she served her, if she didn't know that she was Yu's mother, she would never recognize her when she met her on the street.
Mother Yu saw that An Rong looked at her like looking at a stranger, her heart hurt slightly, and when she saw An Rong's eyes with a look of remorse, Mother Yu's heart warmed up again, and she choked her throat and said, "Girl, clean your hands first and then drink tea." β
An Rong stood up, his eyes were slightly red, and said, "Let Mother Yu suffer on the Zhuangzi." β
Mother Yu put down the copper basin, looked at An Rong and said, "It's the slave maid who didn't serve well, so that the girl was sick and deserved to be punished, but I didn't expect to be able to come back to serve the girl, the girl has grown up, and she has become more and more like a wife." β
Yu's mother really didn't think that there would be a day to come back, and she was disheartened after living in Zhuangzi for more than half a year, and lived a chaotic life every day.
Yesterday she was still hoeing grass in the field, and the oppressive housekeeper on weekdays was very respectful to her, serving tea and handing water, asking her to forgive her for her slow treatment over the years, and then returned to the Hou Mansion, and said a few good words in front of the four girls, she also wanted to go back to the Hou Mansion.
It's good to be able to come back, and she is not satisfied with seeing the fourth girl again.
In the morning, she also inquired a lot, listening to Haitang talk about the past two years, especially the marriage left by his wife was almost corrupted, and Yu's mother was angry.
But after living in Zhuangzi for two years, she also reflected for two years, she was too strict with the girl, and the girl was annoyed with her, so she endured these words, and the days to come will be long.
An Rong held Yu's mother's hand, which was not as smooth as before, but it was just as warm, with cracked palms and layers of calluses.
"Begonias. Go and bring my hand balm to Mother Yu," An Rong commanded in a choked voice.
Mother Yu's heart softened into a puddle of water, and the girl became more sensible. Shaking his head, he said, "The slave went to the kitchen to get white oil and smeared it for a few days." It's fine, no need for hand balm. β
Haitang took it and stuffed it to Yu's mother and said, "Yu's mother will use it, the girl can't use it twice in a winter, and it's a waste to leave it there, Haitang also expects you to raise your hands well and teach me needlework." β
Yu's mother accepted it. turned to ask An Rong, "The girl went out, did she eat lunch?" It's past dinner at this time, and the slave maid asked the maid to boil barley porridge, and the girl will eat some first? β
Not to mention, An Rong was really hungry at this moment, and nodded again and again.
Mother Yu took the medicine down, and An Rong instructed Peony Medicine, "Go and inquire, why did the eldest lady of the Gu family come." β
An Rong ate two small bowls of porridge in one go. Mother Yu was really afraid that she would be overwhelmed, and after eating it for a while, the peony came back.
The girl Peony couldn't hide her thoughts. As soon as he went upstairs, he scolded, "It's really shameless and skinless, the ancestors of the Gu family have been in the past seven or eight generations, and they have only come out of a wandering party, and they dare to tell the old lady that the girl's secret recipe was lost by their Gu family, and it was robbed by thieves on the road when the family was in the war in the early years." Now that it has fallen into the hands of the girl, I hope that the girl will return the medical book that recorded the prescription as it is. She couldn't thank her family enough. β
Peony was almost scolded in the old lady's room, a secret recipe. The eldest lady in the house robbed, and the second uncle outside the mansion robbed, but it was good at this time, and the eldest lady of the Gu family also came to rob it.
ran into a wall at Dr. Liu's place, and came to the Hou Mansion again, it was the old lady with a good temperament, if it was her, she would have been beaten out of the mess.
It doesn't matter if the shares given to Miss Gu were robbed by her, she also needs the girl's secret recipe!
An Rong listened to Peony's words, her eyebrows were light, and she always felt that something was wrong, whether the secret recipe was from the Gu family's ancestors She didn't know, but if it was lost because of the war, where did Qingyan learn it?
You must know that the war has been calm for more than 20 years, if you haven't found it back at this time, can Qingyan succeed in studying medicine in just half a year?
And the Gu family was also very surprised by Qingyan's medical skills, Gu Wanyan didn't believe it at all, she always believed that she was a blind cat who met a dead mouse, if the medical book was from the Gu family, then what was there to be surprised?
She was reborn in a lifetime, and there was not much time at all, and it would not have any impact on Qingyan's study of medicine, if Qingyan wanted a medical book, she could write out the medical book in her memory.
But the eldest lady of the Gu family wanted to be anrong, she would rather burn it than give it, and killed Qingyan's mother and stepmother, although the stepmother was not very good, she gave her the secret recipe medical book, if Qingyan knew, she would not be angry with her to death.
Therefore, An Rong ignored the peony and went to confront the eldest lady of the Gu family, so that she could be convinced.
Wanting to bargain from the old lady, the eldest lady of the Gu family regarded the old lady as too simple, for so many years, although the inner courtyard was controlled by the eldest lady, but in front of her grandmother, she didn't dare to jump on it, let alone a little woman who was straightened by a concubine and didn't even have a fate?
The concubine Fuzheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty will also be criticized, but there are two exceptions.
One is that the wife dies and the stepfamily also dies, and it is generally difficult for such a man to marry a wife again, so it is feasible to straighten out the concubine, but this situation is relatively rare, because such a man is generally older, and the son can marry a wife, and the daughter-in-law can take care of the house.
The second is that when the wife dies, the man is very old, and then marries a very young lady, who is younger than the son, it will laugh to death, and it is even more ridiculous than the concubine's rectification, because there have been cases of sons and stepmothers* cuckolding their fathers.
At that time, Anbo, An Rong's maternal grandfather corrected Aunt Zhou.
First, I think that their mother and son are kind enough, and for so many years, Aunt Zhou has not been noisy or noisy, and she is very obedient.
The second is that the eldest wife was injured in childbirth at that time, and she needed to recuperate quietly, and she couldn't take care of the house, and the second wife said that she had a headache and was dizzy when she looked at the account, and the third wife was preparing to enter the door, and the wedding banquet was halfway through the preparations, and the eldest lady was injured.
This made Aunt Zhou take advantage of the loophole, after all, everyone who welcomes guests has to be greeted, and letting the concubine greet the guests is a slap in the face of the guests.
An Rong sat there distracted, and the more he thought about it, the more he frowned, as if Aunt Zhou's straightening was a bit too coincidental?
When her mother passed away, Aunt Zhou took the initiative to marry the eldest lady as a steproom, first won a good reputation, and then met the eldest aunt who had a miscarriage, and the second wife was her own daughter-in-law.
With the temperament of Mrs. Jiang's second wife, if people give her housekeeping power, will she push it out? I can't wait to pounce and grab it!
An Rong thought that in their previous life, they cruelly harmed their uncle and cousin, maybe they also harmed the miscarriage of the eldest uncle's child!
People are like this, when they like someone, they turn a blind eye to their shortcomings, and when they don't like them, their strengths become disadvantages.
Mrs. Jiang and her family, in the eyes of the current An Rong, have done all kinds of evil things, and if there are any harmful things to think about them, they will definitely not leave ten.
After Peony told SΓΉ Anrong what she heard, she turned back to Songhe Courtyard, and Mrs. Gu hadn't left yet, so maybe there was something wrong and it wasn't necessarily.
Sure enough, there was really something wrong this time.
The old lady is not so easy to fool and talk, originally An Rong gave them shares, but she had already turned her elbow outward, and she suffered a lot of complaints, but she was not very popular.
However, the old lady also saw another layer, that is, the Gu family was just a fourth-grade petty official, and she didn't dare to come to the door to ask for anything if she borrowed three or five bear biles, which showed that there was someone behind her instigation.
The eldest lady of the Gu family was not very confident, and she began to speak calmly, but then she began to threaten, saying that it was a virtue not to pick up the road, and if she picked up something and didn't spread it, it would hinder the reputation of the Hou Mansion, and this was a threat to the old lady with her reputation.
It was strange that the old lady would be threatened by her, and couldn't help sneering, "Jimintang is really a broken jar, and I don't even want to be cheeky, so I actually instigated you to ask for a secret recipe." β
"What benefits did you give you this time, if you dislike the less given by the Liuji Pharmacy before, you can hand it over, and you are not the only one with the surname Gu in Kyoto."
The eldest lady of the Gu family stood up in shock, her arrogant arrogance suddenly languished, and she laughed and said that she was also forced to come and had to come.
The old lady still doesn't understand what is going on, it is true that she was persecuted, and it is true that she wants to blackmail, but she just didn't blackmail.
The old lady asked the eldest lady of the Gu family to go out, and as soon as she went out, the old lady slapped the table angrily, "Bastard thing!" kept saying that An Rong's elbow turned out, but he didn't expect that only the governor was allowed to set fires and the people were not allowed to light the lamps! β
Mother Sun brought tea to persuade the old lady not to be angry, but after persuasion, she just said that, she was pale and weak.
The fact that the eldest lady and the second room of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an did it are chilling, after all, she has raised the four girls for so many years, and she has always treated the four girls as her own meat, and now it seems that the money is still moving, and they are all shameless characters who ask for money.
The matter of the fourth girl giving the shares to the Gu family, Dr. Liu will definitely not say it, it is not good for him to say it, and the fourth girl will not either, how can Jimintang know?
It was Jimintang who came to blackmail before, but now it is the Gu family who is blackmailing, these people would rather the secret recipe in the hands of the fourth girl be gone, than see her take the benefits alone, this heart is really dark enough.
No wonder the fourth girl and the fifth girl are so different in temperament, one is pure and kind, everyone can deceive, the other is arrogant, I didn't think of her if there was something, but I didn't care about her, and then I turned my elbow outward.
The more the old lady thought about it, the more angry she became, regretting that she still wanted to save some face for the eldest lady that day, and now it seems that she still has a face, no matter how much face she gives, she will not be able to hang up her smooth face.
"Send someone to Jian'anbo Mansion to ask, is Second Master Jiang's leg broken or dumb, if he doesn't come, Anrong, a junior, wants to go to see his old man's house, it's not easy to go!"
Peony smiled when she heard this, and relayed it to An Rong.
An Rong also smiled at the corner of her mouth, her grandmother was urged, it was strange that Second Master Jiang could hide it, and when he apologized, she could go to visit her grandfather, uncle, and aunt.
