54. Heirloom
Tong Wanqing looked at it for a while, then pushed the door in, and shouted, "Are you going to demolish the house!" ”
Xu Xiaole was relieved when she saw her sister-in-law coming, and stepped forward to hold her sister-in-law's arm: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are all the things left by grandpa here?" ”
Tong Wanqing glanced at Xu Xiaole: "Of course not." The good things at home will not be given to you until you become a parent. What are you looking for? ”
Xu Xiaole has no interest in the "good things" at home, and only cares about the Kidney Qi Pill.
He rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Shi said that he gave Grandpa a box of pills back then, which was used for laying the foundation for his children. I now have a sore back from my back, is the foundation not thick enough? I thought about turning it out and seeing, if it is useful, it can be regarded as twice the result with half the effort. ”
He said this half-truth, and he didn't brag about the general facts, but just said the content of the letter he found as if Sun Yufeng took care of it himself.
Tong Wanqing raised Xu Xiaole since she was a child, and she didn't fully believe in him, but these words were meticulous and there was no doubt about it.
She knew that Sun Yufeng was the teacher who really taught Xiaole, and she also knew that Sun Yufeng had a good relationship with the old lady of the Xu family, and they were both masters of medical Taoism, so it was reasonable to have such a box of pills as a gift. Since it's a good thing, isn't it just for your children and grandchildren?
Tong Wanqing went through it in her mind, but she didn't find any suspicions, so she fell into Xu Xiaole's hands and said, "The things that have been handed down at home are collected by me, and I can't tell what they are, so you can come and see me." ”
Xu Xiaole happily pulled Tong Wanqing's arm and left, Hu Meiniang thought that she would definitely not be able to go, so she said, "I'll go below to help set the table, you guys hurry up." ”
Tong Wanqing's face turned red when she heard this, but she found that she wanted to be crooked, so she buried her head and left. Hu Meiniang felt Tong Wanqing's abnormality, but she didn't know what was wrong, and she was very puzzled.
When Tong Wanqing just passed the door, there was only one Xu Xiaole who was three feet tall. She had no idea what could be passed down and what was only worth a moment. Because her mother was angry with her, she was brainless and unwilling to associate with her, and the first two years were really difficult.
Tong Wanqing bent down and pulled out a large camphor wood box from under the bed, big enough to fit Xu Xiaole in. This is the dowry box she brought when she passed the door, and later the dowry ran out, so it was used to store the heirlooms of the Xu family.
Xu Xiaole leaned over and felt that the smell of camphor was very good. Waiting for Tong Wanqing to open the box, Xu Xiaole couldn't help but say "ah": "My family has a lot of treasures, half a box is full!" ”
Tong Wanqing was not satisfied, and said, "I expect you to fill up the remaining half." She tugged at the box and said, "What are you looking for?" I think I've seen it before. She took the contents of the box one by one.
Xu Xiaole's youthful nature has been attracted by these strange things.
First of all, I saw a three-foot-tall bronze figure, and his body was still golden, which showed that it was not damp and rusty in the box. The bronze man is densely engraved with meridian acupuncture points, which is in line with Xu Xiaole's current learning progress.
Xu Xiaole said: "Sister-in-law, I am now learning the Twelve Orthodox and the Acupoints around the body, so take out this bronze man and use it for me." ”
Tong Wanqing put away the bronze man at the beginning, mainly because this thing is valuable - brass is the material for casting money, and the value of bronze with such exquisite craftsmanship is far better than that of copper coins of equal weight. She said, "If you want to use it, you can use it, but this is passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors, and you must not lose it or break it." ”
Xu Xiaole couldn't put it down, where would he not agree, carefully put the bronze man aside, and began to look at the treasure at home again.
In addition to the bronze figures, Tong Wanqing also collected a complete set of medicinal utensils, medicine scales, and weights...... Without exception, they are all made of fine copper - very valuable.
In addition to these utensils, it is the name seal left by the ancestors of the past dynasties, which has copper and iron, teeth and jade. One of the most important is the seal of "descendants and grandchildren of Yongbao", which is a two-pound Datian Huangshi chapter. Not to mention that the value of Tian Huangshi is increasing day by day, as long as this seal is stamped, even ordinary things have become the treasure of the Xu family, and they will be passed on to their children and grandchildren.
Tong Wanqing took it down again, and it was some ancient books on silk. The so-called paper longevity millennium silk 800, these silk books are the antiques collected by the ancestors, and I don't know how old they are, so Tong Wanqing is all stored in the camphor wood box, so as not to be damaged - silk is definitely more valuable than paper.
Xu Xiaole was not interested in any of this, and didn't even bother to look at it, until a stack of ebony boxes was revealed underneath.
Tong Wanqing said: "These boxes are all precious medicinal materials collected at home. That elixir should also be among them, don't worry, I'll find it for you slowly. ”
When she first passed the door, she didn't understand anything, and some black-hearted pharmacists bought a lot of medicinal materials collected by the Xu family at a low price. Thinking about Xu's father, he would rather sell land than medicine, so he knows the preciousness of these medicinal materials. Now Tong Wanqing is still heartbroken when she thinks of these things at that time.
Xu Xiaole didn't care at all, he only cared about the Kidney Qi Pill, held his breath and concentrated, leaning next to Tong Wanqing and holding his head to watch.
Tong Wanqing opened two of them, but drove straight to the third, and then said, "That's it." ”
Xu Xiaole hurriedly took the ebony box, and the corners of his mouth reached his ears. He sat down at the table with the box in his hand, and pulled the lid open to contain his agitation.
The first thing that caught his eye was a yellowed letterhead, just looking at its trembling appearance in the air, Xu Xiaole was worried that it was too old and virtuous, and it would be broken by the wind.
Carefully taking out the letterhead, Xu Xiaole opened it and saw that it was the recipe for a pill. He had already read the correspondence between his grandfather and his uncle, and when he looked at the recipe, he felt a little familiar.
Tong Wanqing walked behind Xu Xiaole, leaned over to take a look, and said, "This is a secret recipe handed down by the ancestors, which is said to be able to consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan and nourish the qi and blood." ”
Xu Xiaole had a bottom in his heart, put on a look of knowing it in his chest, and said: "That's it, it's for kidney tonics." ”
He secretly said in his heart: Many of the medicinal materials in this recipe have been discussed by Grandpa Tai and Uncle Shi, and it is obvious that they have exchanged a lot of information on the Kidney Qi Pill. Later, Uncle Shi studied the Kidney Qi Pill, and Grandpa Tai made a pill that strengthened Peiyuan. In this way, the source flow is clearly visible.
Tong Wanqing saw that Xiaole seemed to know how to do it, and she was very relieved.
The saddest thing for her is that because she doesn't know how to do it, she was deceived by outsiders and many of the Xu family's treasures. If the root of her liver depression is concerned, I am afraid that it has been formed from above.
Now that there is someone at home who understands, I finally don't have to worry about selling gold into tofu anymore, which makes Tong Wanqing feel more secure.
Xu Xiaole put the recipe aside, and below was the pill sealed with wax.
