187. A little extra
One day, decades later, the backyard of the "Medicine King's Residence" was busy.
Washing, cutting, drying, watering, stir-frying, drying, the division of labor is clear and orderly, and it is no different from any pharmacy.
If there is anything peculiar, it is that the young workers who concoct medicinal materials in this courtyard are older: there are a few old women who have lost their teeth and laugh obviously leaking; There are also some people who look like old men, but they don't even grow a beard, and they speak softly, which is a little weird.
The people who often come to this courtyard are no longer surprised. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl came in with a bag of herbs, and greeted her with a smile: "Father-in-law Xu, is Niangniang not here today?" We found two of the herbs we drew last time, and I want to ask my mother to see if I found the right one? ”
The old man called "Gonggong Xu" took it in with a smile, and led him all the way inward: "Miss Qin came by chance today, Niangniang has just arrived, and she is talking to Lord Wanjun!" ”
When the little girl heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly hurried in, saying hello with her hands crossed.
A woman in the room, dressed in a blue cloth dress and holding a homely bun, raised her head and smiled before saying a word: "Why is Miss Qin here alone today?" ”
The little girl called "Niangniang", and found a bench to sit down without seeing it, took out two grasses wrapped in paper from her arms and handed them over, and then she had to raise her sleeves to wipe her sweat, and said with a smile: "It rained a lot ago, and my sister rushed to plant wheat with my father and mother early this morning!" ”
The woman happily took the paper bag and got up and walked out, not forgetting to turn around and glare at the little girl next to her: "What do you think I said?" Xiaoqi is two years younger than you, everyone can go to the field to grow wheat, but you can only eat! ”
Miss Qin hurriedly said: "The county lord's hand is very skillful, the tricks that the little chess took back last time, the little sisters of several streets are vying to borrow it!" ”
The little girl raised her chin proudly, watched the woman walk away, and secretly came to Miss Qin's side and complained: "The imperial grandmother is not reasonable, she looks at other people's girls and looks at everything, and we sisters just pick their noses and eyes!" ”
Miss Qin covered her mouth and smiled: "Love is deeply responsible, the queen mother is so cherished by the county lords!" ”
Lord Wan pursed his lips, and his voice was a little lowered: "Don't look at the imperial grandmother forcing us to learn this and that all day long, in fact, she herself is lazy!" In the first month of this year, my father said that he asked her old man for a painting, but now she hasn't painted it for more than half a year! I heard people in the court secretly talk about it, saying that the imperial grandmother was originally a great talent who could do everything, but unfortunately she was spoiled by the emperor's grandfather! ”
Miss Qin couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and hurriedly covered her mouth again: "Your Majesty treats her mother well, and the whole world knows it!" However, we all talk about it among the people, the queen is a fairy-like figure, and if the emperor treats her badly, it will be called hurting the heavens! ”
Lord Wan covered his mouth and sneered: "This kind of thing, isn't it really taught to you by the imperial grandfather himself?" He himself often said that! ”
Miss Qin couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
The woman in blue walked in from the outside and snorted coldly with a straight face: "What bad things do you say about me?!" ”
Miss Qin was so frightened that she hurriedly stood up, but Lord Wan shook her two pigtails and laughed arrogantly: "We said that half an hour has passed today, and the imperial grandfather hasn't chased him out yet, most of them were tripped by someone in the palace!" Do you think it will be a beautiful little palace maid......"
"Good little girl!" A roar full of anger came from afar in the courtyard, "Set up a formation in the palace to trap me, and then trick your grandmother into coming out to sow discord?" Who the hell did you learn from this bad stomach?! ”
Lord Wan smiled and greeted the door, curtsied: "Grandpa Huang, please be careful!" Everyone in the palace and the court said that I was most like the imperial grandmother, but now you say that I have a 'bad stomach', do you think the imperial grandmother will be happy? ”
The Emperor who had been galloping all the way slipped the soles of his feet and almost fell down the steps.
Looking up, he was greeted with a cold face, although the years are not forgiving, but those peach blossom eyes are still fierce and charming, and they are terrifyingly beautiful.
A smile immediately bloomed on the emperor's old face: "Empress, why did you come out again early in the morning?" I just asked someone to dig up the plum wine, and when I turned around, you were gone! ”
"Humph!" The queen turned around with a cold face, and her simple dark blue sleeves threw out a beautiful arc: "Where did this old thing come from, dare to say that my granddaughter has a 'bad stomach'?" Call me out! ”
"Great!" Lord Wan rolled up his sleeves exaggeratedly, "Mama Su, Mama Li!" The emperor's grandmother has an order, come and get the troublemakers out! ”
The two old women who were washing the herbs immediately responded with a loud voice and ran over.
The emperor was so frightened that he fled in a hurry, but instead of fleeing out, he quickened his pace and rushed into the door, picked up the two little girls standing at the door and threw them out, and closed the door with a bang.
Lord Wan, who fell to the ground, laughed.
The folk girl and the girl couldn't help laughing, but at the same time, she was also a little worried, for fear that she would make a big deal out of it.
It is said in the play that "the Son of Heaven is angry and ambushes millions of corpses", which is not a joke!
was worried about himself, but he heard the female voice in the door shouting: "Miss Qin, I have seen the two medicinal herbs you brought, and they are indeed the kind I want." You pay more attention in the future, no matter how many I want! ”
Miss Qin said yes loudly, and when she turned around, she saw the father-in-law Xu waving to her in the distance. She knew that she could pay for the medicinal materials, so she hurriedly saluted and said goodbye to Lord Wanjun, and ran away happily.
Here, Lord Wan tiptoed back to the door, put his ear on the crack of the door, and heard her imperial grandfather's voice inside greasy and crooked: "How can any disease in this world be cured?" It's not a bad thing for you to heal people, but you don't have to do everything yourself! …… Don't forget that you are the queen, and the most important thing for you should be with me! You have been running out twice in the past three days, leaving me a lonely old man in the palace, how pitiful! …… Look at you, even the pension place for the palace maid and eunuch has been arranged, why don't you want to pity me......"
Lord Wan was so tired that he shivered, rubbed his arms hard, tiptoed up the steps, and muttered: "Such a greasy old man, how did the imperial grandmother take a fancy to him back then?" I guess most of them were forced to marry Tianwei...... Alas, folk women can't help themselves in getting married, pitiful! ”
When a young scholar at the door of the pharmacy heard this, he stopped and turned around and asked, "The girl thinks that men and women should not listen to their parents' matchmaking when they get married?" ”
Lord Wan sneered: "If you don't have the ability, then of course you still have to listen to your parents!" I'm not like them, my emperor...... My grandmother said a long time ago that I could make my own decisions about my marriage! ”
"Then," the scholar's face flushed slightly, "what kind of person does the county want to marry?" ”
"Huh, you know me?!" Lord Wan was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "I, I definitely won't marry my imperial grandfather!" If I want to marry, I will marry a hero who immediately raises his sword and looks at the world, preferably the kind that has been fighting for many years and has been bloody for many years, and is majestic and majestic in ink-colored armor! ”
