Chapter 084: The Secret Recipe of the Imperial Doctor (Part II)
As soon as Su Xue smelled the smell of this soup before, she knew it.
To put it nicely, it is a soup meal, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a fierce medicine.
In the previous life, I saw this kind of decoction in the history of the classics, and it was once named a good product for rejuvenating the face and removing freckles by the court nobles, and its practical ingredients are all kinds of tonic ingredients, which are boiled and then mixed with an appropriate amount of fresh chicken blood, and the reason why ginger is added is just to remove the smell of blood.
At that time, I was a little surprised to see this so-called palace secret recipe Su Xue, and felt that it was really an exaggeration, after all, the nobles of the palace are not fools, and they would obediently drink bowls of fresh chicken blood like that?
Although drinking raw chicken blood in this way does have the effect of invigorating blood circulation, a dignified and beautiful woman like Mrs. Xing, if she knew that she drank raw blood every day, I am afraid that she would only be so disgusted that she couldn't even eat.
After all, this fresh chicken blood is not comparable to blood tofu, eating two pieces of blood tofu, removing dust, replenishing qi and blood is good, but drinking raw chicken blood is not acceptable to everyone.
Su Xue naturally wouldn't say all this, and Mrs. Xing and Young Master Xing were just angry about the ginger silk in it.
"How can Imperial Doctor Yu be so confused!" Young Master Xing couldn't help but scold softly, and turned his head to look at the maid who came with the soup and food, "Go and call the medicine boy sent by Imperial Doctor Yu over, I want to ask him!" ”
The maid was frightened, and was a little at a loss for a while, so she had to look at Mrs. Xing.
Although Mrs. Xing was also a little surprised, she saw that Young Master Xing was so angry that she wanted to find someone to question, so she hurriedly grabbed him and said, "This soup is not good for the body, because my mother will not drink it in the future, why bother to call people to question?" If you don't get it right, you will offend Imperial Doctor Yu. ”
Hearing Mrs. Xing's persuasion. The young master finally held back, but he was still a little angry. He turned to the maid and said, "Tell Steward Zhu to fetch some money, and send the medicine boy out of the house tomorrow." Let's just say that my mother is in good health, and she doesn't need to take those anymore. ”
The maid looked at Mrs. Xing nervously, and when she saw Mrs. Xing nodding, she retreated.
After sending the maid down, Mrs. Xing seemed to regret it a little again, and her expression became anxious.
The reason why Mrs. Xing drank that was because since two years ago, dark spots began to grow on her face, and she looked very ugly. Every morning, you have to repeatedly thicken the fat powder to barely cover it.
This kind of thing is really embarrassing for a noble lady with status and status like Mrs. Xing, so only her family and a few personal maids in the house know about it.
Concubine Xian Niangniang was also very anxious when she heard about it, so she ordered Imperial Doctor Yu to come to Xing's Mansion from time to time to prescribe a prescription for Mrs. Xing.
This recipe really has some effect, and after drinking it for half a month, the dark spots on her face have faded a lot, I thought it would be good, but who expected that as long as she stopped, she didn't drink. In just a few days, those spots have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they are darker and more colorful.
This made Mrs. Xing very frightened. So even though the soup was so unpalatable, she insisted on it every day.
Mrs. Xing's face was dark spots, and Imperial Physician Yu also knew about it. Therefore, even if she no longer invites Imperial Doctor Yu to come over in the future, Mrs. Xing does not want to tear her face off.
I thought I wouldn't drink that soup in the future. This dark spot must have grown again, and Mrs. Xing was very anxious.
The young master saw his mother's worries. Comforted in a low voice: "Mother don't be anxious, tomorrow my son will go to the palace to tell the eldest sister about it, and let the eldest sister send some precious fat powder to ......"
Since there are outsiders, it is inconvenient for Young Master Xing to speak too bluntly.
Mrs. Xing nodded, but her brows were still furrowed.
Su Xuefu looked at Mrs. Xing carefully, Mrs. Xing's complexion was relatively white, although there was also a reason for the fat powder, but it looked whiter than the eldest lady, and judging from the small dry lines at the corners of her eyes, Mrs. Xing belonged to dry skin.
It is said that oily skin is prone to acne, and dry skin is prone to spots, especially those with a white complexion like Mrs. Xing, as long as they have spots, it will be terrible.
Thinking of this, Su Xuemao suddenly opened, and the big tonic herbs and chicken blood happened to be able to invigorate the blood and nourish the skin, and it also had a certain effect on the face.
No wonder Mrs. Xing had a bitter face and wanted to drink that......
But that prescription treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and it is really not a good medicine for freckle.
The eldest lady was also pondering Mrs. Xing's thoughts in her heart, and when she heard the precious fat powder of the young master Xing, she suddenly said happily: "Mrs. Xing's skin is as white as jade, and any kind of balsam used on Mrs. Xing's face can be more bright." It just so happened that my mother's house is not only rich in dates, but also has a kind of snowflake fat powder with a peculiar effect, not to mention Mrs. Xing's good foundation, even those ugly village women who are covered with old age spots, smeared with that fat powder, they all say it's good! ”
After the eldest lady finished speaking, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
But when Mrs. Xing and Young Master Xing heard the ugly village woman covered with old age spots, their faces were extremely pale.
The eldest lady saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but she was already laughing, so she had to laugh again in embarrassment before she stopped it.
Mrs. Xing looked at Mrs. Jiang with a stiff face and remained silent. There was a dead silence throughout the main hall.
Mrs. Xing glared at Mrs. Xing's face, as if she was looking at the enemy, and after a long silence, she said coldly: "Since that fat powder is so good, Mrs. Jiang should keep it for herself." ”
No matter how dull Mrs. Rao is, she can hear that Mrs. Xing's words are already angry.
She was suddenly anxious and wanted to speak, but she didn't know what made Mrs. Xing unhappy, her mouth opened, and she didn't say anything.
Mrs. Xing also heard the anger in Mrs. Xing's words, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, no matter how good the fat powder is, it will be useless after washing." ”
As he spoke, he muttered in a low voice: "Why don't you let the medicine boy stay in the house?" ”
Young Master Xing and Mrs. Xing looked worried and frowned.
Su Xue rolled her eyebrows and said with a light smile: "Taifu Xing is telling the truth, no matter how precious the fat powder is, it is just a cover, and after the water is splashed, it will show its original form." Mrs. Xing is noble and beautiful, why should she rely on those feints? ”
Fu glanced at the eldest lady coldly, and continued: "As for the woman with spots that the eldest aunt just said also uses Suizhou's fat powder, Su Xue is a little puzzled, that fat powder is so precious, how can even village women have the opportunity to use it?" ”
The eldest lady looked at Su Xue in amazement, she was clearly just making an analogy, those fat powders were so expensive that they were sky-high, she also saw her mother use them when she was not married, and I heard that her father took a pair of night pearls in exchange for a small box.
At that time, my mother was reluctant to show off, how could the village woman afford it?
At present, the Xing family is already quite dissatisfied with her, and she is trying her best to save the situation, Jiang Suxue, a cheap hoof, actually debunked her in public!
But she was speechless, and she could only be ashamed of her face for a while.
Su Xue looked away coldly, the eldest lady was stupid and vain, so she would be ugly in front of the Xing family.
In the final analysis, after all, she is also the eldest wife of Jiangfu, with the name of Jiangfu on her head.
It's just a matter of insulting others, but the second master can't afford to lose such a face.
Thinking of the second master, the lonely figure at the corner gate resurfaced in his mind.
Su Xue secretly narrowed her eyes, the second master cared about her so much and protected her, how could she watch the eldest lady ruin the reputation of the Jiang family outside?
Although Su Xue was also happy to watch the eldest lady lose face in front of the Xing family, she didn't want the Xing family to think that the entire Jiang Mansion was the virtue of the eldest wife!
After being silent for a while, she turned her face sideways and said, "Actually, Su Xue heard that there is a strange recipe among the people, which can lighten the pigmentation after a few days." This recipe is effective, but it is not expensive, and it is more practical than those expensive fat powders. ”
When Young Master Xing heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and he didn't think about it anymore, and even asked: "Then please Miss Jiang quickly write down this strange recipe!" If it is really effective, Xing will definitely be rewarded! ”
Su Xue's eyebrows narrowed slightly, as soon as she said it, the young master of the punishment begged for this recipe so impatiently, it seems that her previous guess was correct.
But as soon as the young master of the punishment finished speaking, Mrs. Xing grabbed his hand, her face sank, and she reprimanded: "That's a recipe for village women, what are you going to do?" ”
Mrs. Xing was very anxious, but she held back her excitement.
What is the young master going to do? Isn't it for you as a mother?
But Mrs. Xing's reaction was like this, and Su Xue could understand it, after all, that would expose the fact that Mrs. Xing had spots.
Even the eldest lady heard some clues, and stared at Mrs. Xing and Young Master Xing with a surprised expression.
Mrs. Xing's face turned red, and she couldn't sit still.
The young master was still shrewd, and hurriedly said, "Where does my mother want to go?" I'm a boy, so naturally I won't use this thing, but my son has a deep relationship with the nurse, and the nurse hasn't been worried about the spots on her face all these years? The mother often teaches her son to be grateful, and the nurse treats her son very well. ”
Mrs. Xing was stunned for a moment, then her face was happy, she patted the back of the young master's hand, and said with a smile of relief: "What do you think it is for your mother?" I see. It's good that you have this heart. This is like the descendants of our Xing family! ”
Su Xue couldn't help but secretly admire, she really deserved to be the former Tanhualang, so improvised, clever and clever, and without showing half of her timidity, she covered up this matter.
This is like the descendants of the Xing family, and it is like the son of a big family.
On the other hand, the second lady with an ugly and aggrieved expression who wanted to speak but didn't dare to speak......
The young master explained that the prescription was for the nurse, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Xing also invited the inkman in the house in a grand manner, and asked Su Xue to go forward and read out the prescription.
Su Xue glanced at the green-shirted inkman and reminded: "If you encounter the name of a medicinal herb that you can't write or haven't heard of, remember to let me know." ”
The inkman was stunned for a moment, his face was ugly, he was a writer invited by Xingfu, full of poetry and books, how could there be words that he couldn't write?
After glancing at Su Xue a few more times, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Isn't she just a little lady? The tone is so crazy.
He has also read a few medical books extensively, and he also has a slight understanding of medicinal materials.
It is not for nothing that he came to Xing's Mansion under the banner of a miracle doctor to deceive, if he realizes that this little lady is also playing tricks and wants to coax Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Xing, then don't blame him for exposing it on the spot.
When the time comes, you can't get off the stage, but don't blame him. (To be continued......)
