094 Kalou
For the twins, it is a matter of course that Chu Qianhuang can learn cooking with the Shen family, and what makes them envious is that even Chu Qianchen can learn with him.
The mother-in-law's treatment of the second sister is really unusual. The sisters thought enviously.
Shen's eyes were like torches, he saw their yearning, and said: "Sister Wu, Sister Firefly, you are still young, now you should learn from the gentlemen who are studying well, and I will teach you again in the year after tomorrow." β
The twins' eyes brightened, and they happily agreed, holding hands, and went away happily.
"Sister Huang, Sister Chen, you two come with me to the Jinghong Hall." The Shen family took Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang to the northeast of the Hou Mansion.
Jinghong Hall is the place where the Shen family sees those housekeepers and grandmothers on weekdays, and deals with the feed.
The three of them didn't speak all the way, and they saw that the subordinates of the Hou Mansion curtsied and saluted from time to time along the way, and they didn't dare to look directly at the Shen family.
Judging from their silent attitude, it can be seen that they are afraid that they have heard about Chu Lingxiao rushing to Rongfu Hall to question the Shen family.
After half a cup of tea, the Jinghong Hall appeared in front, Chu Qianhuang rubbed the handkerchief, and couldn't help but say: "Mother, I heard that in the past two days, my grandmother has invited a lot of doctors to show my father in the surrounding towns, and they all said that my father's leg is afraid to ......."
Chu Qianhuang didn't know that Chu Qianchen had given Chu Lingxiao a "nightmare for three nights", she was simply worried about her father's leg injury, and wanted to tell Shen euphemistically that her father didn't deliberately lose his temper at her.
All she wanted was for her parents to get back together.
Shen Shi was unmoved, and said lightly: "Your father's injuries were all caused by him. β
Seeing that Shen was still angry and didn't want to say more, Chu Qianhuang pursed his lips and didn't continue.
She didn't have a chance to say more, and it happened that a few housekeepers and grandmothers came here, and they saluted the Shen family one after another, and everyone surrounded the Shen family into the Jinghong Hall.
This treatment was a full morning, and Chu Qianchen followed Shen's science to take care of the housework all morning, only to feel dizzy.
She has been a human being in two lives, and she has learned a lot of things, but she has never learned to host the feed, and she has a headache when she hears these things of firewood, rice, oil and salt.
Compared with Chu Qianhuang's preoccupation, Chu Qianchen seemed to make small movements, resisting the urge to yawn for a while, and drinking tea to refresh himself for a while.
Shen noticed it, and felt funny and funny in his heart: this girl always looked calm and relaxed on weekdays, as if nothing could bother her, but she didn't expect her to be so impatient with the housekeeper.
If this is something else, the Shen family will not force Chu Qianchen to learn, after all, everyone has their own strengths, and they can't expect Chu Qianchen to know everything, but this is something that has to be learned, and Chu Qianchen will always marry in the future.
She said that she is not a concubine, and that a wife must be a housekeeper.
Anyway, the Shen clan didn't expect to feed Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang into a big fat man in one bite, she planned to let them watch and listen like this for a few days first, and then she slowly told them why they did this.
The housekeepers and grandmothers did things one after another, in an orderly manner, and the last one to do the work was Mama Zhao, the steward of the sewing room.
"Big lady, the summer shirts that were prescribed before have been made and have been sent to each room."
"Also, the materials just bought in Jiangnan arrived last night, do you want to take a look?"
Mama Zhao said "take a look", but she was actually asking Shen if she wanted to pick first.
"Take it up and show it to the eldest girl and the second girl first." Shen responded with a smile, then turned his head to Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang and said, "This material was purchased from the jade weaving workshop in Jiangnan, and it is the most up-to-date material this spring. β
The Central Plains is now divided into two, and Qi Hao and the north and the south are ruled together. Jiangnan belongs to Nanhao, and it is also after the first emperor ascended the throne that the two countries ceased war, and trade exchanges were gradually resumed, and the materials from Jiangnan were able to be transported to the capital.
Mama Zhao also guessed that the Shen family would want to see it first, so she had already asked people to wait in advance, so immediately a few maids and wives from the sewing room brought in the materials from the Jiangnan jade weaving room.
Dozens of rolls of material were placed on several large sheets, and even the room seemed to be lit up by three points.
Who in this woman doesn't like new materials, and even the grandmothers present can't help but glance at those materials.
Mama Zhao smiled on the side: "Madam, this batch of materials has exquisite patterns, and several colors are all new, which is really different from the materials of our Daqi, and this jade weaving workshop really deserves its name." β
Shen Shi first took a general look, and said: "These materials are really good, the color is bright, the texture is light and thin, it is suitable for the girls to make summer shirts to wear, let the girls in each room pick one." β
Chu Qianchen glanced at it casually, and heard Chu Qianhuang smile and say: "Second sister, you like purple, I think that purple is good, it just matches your lotus pleated skirt." β
When a maid heard this, she hurriedly carried the purple material to the two girls.
Chu Qianhuang pulled the corner of the material and wanted to compare it with Chu Qianchen, but her fingers had just been stained with the material, but she was stopped by Shen, "Sister Huang, your second sister likes red." β
Shen pointed to the scarlet material in front of him and said, "This scarlet is good, vermilion is more lively than big red, and it is just right for Sister Chen." β
Shen asked the maid to bring the scarlet material, put it in front of Chu Qianchen and compared it again and again, and instructed with great interest: "Mama Zhao, I think this material can be made into a gown, and the trim is made of lotus, and it can also be matched with the second girl's long skirt." β
"Liu Dazhuo's family, when this season's jewelry is ready, send it to me first, and I'll pick two things for the second girl."
Mama Zhao and Liu Dazhuo's family only promised themselves, and they were both surprised and emotional: the second girl really liked the eldest lady, even if Aunt Jiang jumped up and down and made a fuss, it would not affect it in the slightest.
"......" Chu Qianchen motionlessly gestured on her as Shen pulled the corner of the material.
She looked at Shen Shi in a daze, and was stunned for a moment.
When she was younger, her favorite color was indeed red.
It's just that Aunt Jiang doesn't like her to wear red, and says that she will collide with Chu Qianhuang.
So, she never wore red and never told anyone that she liked red.
How did my grandmother know?
Chu Qianchen's mood was a little complicated: after many years, if it weren't for her rebirth, she would have almost forgotten her love for red in her previous life.
However, when someone held the red dress to her with his own hands, her heart couldn't help but soften.
It turns out that there are still people who know her preferences, and they still care about her preferences.
Shen's smile became softer and kinder. The reason why she knew that Chu Qianchen liked red was to guess from Chu Yunmu's words.
In Chu Yunmu's room, there was a pair of people in red clothes, a female doll and a male doll.
Chu Yunmu once ostentatiously told her that this was given to him by Chu Qianchen when he was in Zhuangzi, which represented the two of them, but he didn't like the red clothes at all, so he just reluctantly accommodated Chu Qianchen.
"......" Chu Qianhuang looked at Shen and Chu Qianchen smiling, and his eyes deepened.
She also liked the scarlet material.
She is the eldest daughter, the most noble girl in this mansion, the sisters of the same generation have never fought with her, everyone defaults to the red belongs to her, whether it is clothing, jewelry, and furnishings and so on.
Chu Qianhuang opened his lips slightly, but he didn't say anything after all, and pursed his lips.
However, no matter how well she disguises it, she is young after all, and there is inevitably a trace of unhappiness in her description.
Shen wanted to turn his head to ask Chu Qianhuang's opinion to see what was embroidered on the edge of his clothes, but he happened to find the abnormality in her expression.
Shen sighed in his heart: Sister Huang'er still has less copy of this scripture.
From tomorrow, let her copy the Heart Sutra.
Chu Qianhuang looked at Shen's eyes, and sighed in his heart, feeling a bad premonition.
She was about to say something, when she heard Shen say again: "Sister Huang, you can pick one too." β
Chu Qianhuang: "......"
After Chu Qianhuang also picked the materials, the Shen family took Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang out of the Jinghong Hall, and the housekeepers sent them away.
When they were far away, there was a commotion in the hall.
The housekeepers and grandmothers talked nonsense, and some people lamented that the eldest lady was so good to the second girl that even the eldest girl had to give way; Some people say that the second girl has the blue eyes of the eldest lady, and she will have a good future in the future; Some people also shrewdly saw that the eldest lady was going to teach the second girl to cook.
These housekeepers are all shrewd people, and they know how to treat Chu Qianchen from the Shen family's attitude.
In their eyes, no matter how favored Aunt Jiang is, even if Hou Ye is angry and becomes a red face, it will not affect the status of the Shen family, Mrs. Hou is Mrs. Hou, and she has a fate.
The main room and the concubine's room are one heaven and one earth, and there is no comparison at all.
These disturbances could not reach Chu Qianchen's ears at all.
After she went to the main courtyard to accompany Shen and Chu Yunmu for lunch, Shen sent her away.
"Sister Chen, you can accompany me every day to learn for half a day."
There is no hurry to learn in three or two days, Shen plans to teach slowly and gradually, and she knows that Chu Qianchen is studying medicine, and there must be a lot of things to be busy.
Chu Qianchen ran away like a bird released from a cage.
She felt that learning to feed was really much more troublesome than her studying medicine, riding and archery, learning the art of war, or something!
After she returned to Wanyan Courtyard, she changed into an aqua blue dress, went out, and went to Jishitang again.
She made an appointment with Shen Yun's mother and daughter, and the time had not yet arrived, but Shen Yun and Gu Zhiyan arrived in advance.
"Qi Niang." Chu Qianchen beckoned to Gu Zhiyan.
Gu Zhiyan obediently walked towards her, staring at her with a pair of black and white eyes without blinking, and then grabbed her skirt with his left hand, and his little face was still dull.
However, the scar on her face was so faint that it was almost impossible to see, and her little face became as beautiful and lovely as a hibiscus out of the water, like an enamel doll.
At this moment, thinking of the little girl's appearance a month ago, the guys in Jishitang sighed and felt that the little doctor was simply a god.
Chu Qianchen bowed down and carefully examined Gu Zhiyan's face, bowed his head slightly with satisfaction, and said to Shen Yun: "Madam, Ling Yan's face is better, and if you use a jar of Shiquan cream, the scar will disappear completely." β
"Thank you, little doctor." Shen Yun thanked him again and again, ecstatic.
Before that, she only thought that she could make the scar on her daughter's face lighter, and it would be enough to cover it with fat powder in the future, and she never thought that her daughter's face would be restored to its original state.
Shen Yun's eyes were slightly sour, and she was about to cry.
Mama Rong and the eldest maid beside her also knew how worried the master was about the injury on the county lord's face, and even shared a lot with their prince for this. It was only recently that the couple's relationship eased.
Shen Yun was about to instruct Mama Rong to give her a consultation fee, when she heard Chu Qianchen suddenly throw out a question: "Madam, does Ling Yan's absence need to be treated?" β
Shen Yun was startled, squatted down with a complicated expression, grabbed one of Gu Zhiyan's hands, and asked rhetorically, "She can be cured for this disease?" β
Last year, after she found her daughter, she invited a doctor and a famous doctor in Beijing, and they all said that her daughter was frightened and lost her soul, and finally she prescribed a prescription to calm her nerves and relieve her shock, and she didn't help her daughter at all.
So, she could only turn to the gods and Buddhas, and in just a few months, she went to many Taoist temples in the Gyeonggi area, until last month, when she heard that the Taoist chief Xuanjing had come to the capital, she took her daughter to Yuanqingguan.
She begged three times before Daoist Xuanjing agreed to give her daughter a way.
Xuanjing Daoist is indeed a god man, after he did the Fa once, it had an effect, and his daughter gradually began to improve, in the past she only played with her parrot, and recently she was occasionally willing to play with herself to flip the flower rope, or say a few words.
Shen Yun planned to go to Yuanqingguan again in the next two days to ask the Xuanjing Daoist to do the Fa again for his daughter.
Chu Qianchen also looked at Gu Zhiyan and nodded affirmatively: "It can be cured." β
After a pause, she said again: "Ling Yan wasn't like this before, right?" Madame, in order to cure her absence, you must find out why she has become like this. β
"......" Shen Yun's pupils shrank, his expression became a little hesitant, and he covered Gu Zhiyan's small hand between his palms, as if he wanted to draw strength from her.
Just thinking of what happened at that time, her face turned slightly pale, her body was weak, and her expression was very entangled, afraid, panicked, uneasy, heartache and so on.
She really didn't want to think about it again......
Mama Rong naturally knew her own princess, and sighed secretly in her heart, but she didn't dare to persuade her.
At this time, Gu Zhiyan let go of Chu Qianchen's skirt and put his left hand on the back of Shen Yun's hand, as if sensing her uneasiness.
Shen Yun's eyes lit up, his eyes were slightly sour, and he said to himself, her daughter is already well, as long as the Xuanjing Daoist does it again, maybe her daughter will be all right!
Looking at Shen Yun's unspeakable appearance, Chu Qianchen probably guessed that this matter might involve some of the private interests of the county king's mansion.
She is also not interested in digging people's selfishness, but only by knowing the crux of the problem can she prescribe the right medicine.
Last time she gave Qi Niang a sachet in the garden of the Chu family, the spices in the sachet were mixed by her own hands, which had the effect of calming the mind and making Qi Niang's situation better, but it was useless to rely on a sachet alone.
If Qi Niang's absence of consciousness is not cured, it will only get worse in the future when she gets older.
Chu Qianchen didn't intend to make it difficult for others, so he didn't talk about this topic anymore, and said: "Ling Yan's face doesn't need to be re-examined in the future." β
"As for her absence of consciousness, if it is more serious, you can come to Jishitang to leave a message."
Shen Yun was actually a little apprehensive, for fear that her hesitation would anger the little divine doctor, but he didn't expect the little divine doctor to be so kind, he was grateful, and he was grateful: "Thank you divine doctor." β
Mama Rong gave Amber the consultation money, and after that, the mother and daughter left Jishitang.
Shen Yun took Gu Zhiyan's hand and walked in the direction of the vermilion wheeler, and said as he walked: "Qi Niang, let's go to your eldest aunt's house in a while, and let your eldest aunt see that your face is already good......
"Are you happy? Your cousin Huang is also here, will you let her take you to play again? β
When he said this, Gu Zhiyan looked back at Chu Qianchen, looked at her, looked at her...... Until the nurse carried her on the red wheeled car.
After Shen Yun also got into the car, the Zhulun car gradually drifted away.
In the Jishi Hall, it was a lot empty all of a sudden, and at this time, there were not many patients in the hospital.
The guy moved neatly and grasped the medicinal materials that Chu Qianchen wanted.
Chu Qianchen asked Amber to put away the medicine bag, and asked Doctor Liu as usual: "Have you encountered any incurable diseases in the hospital recently?" β
Little Doctor Liu first wanted to shake his head, then remembered something, and said: "Little Divine Doctor, people from the Yongding Hou Mansion have come every day these days to invite you to the mansion for a visit, and I heard that the Yongding Hou broke his leg. β
Chu Qianchen knew about this matter, and said directly: "Don't pay attention to it." β
Doctor Liu didn't have a good impression of the Yongding Marquis Mansion that smashed Jishitang, so naturally he wouldn't help to say good things and skipped this topic.
"That's right!" Dr. Liu high-fived and said, "I almost forgot, there is one more thing." Does the little doctor remember the white-clothed monk who came here last time? β
Chu Qianchen's mind came up with the holy monk and nodded.
She naturally remembered the great prince of Nanhao, Wuhajialou.
Doctor Liu could probably guess that the white-clothed monk was not an ordinary monk, and even vaguely felt that even the emperor seemed to know him that day.
What is the famous monk? Doctor Liu said in his heart, while taking a simple and concise wooden box from the man's hand, handed it to Chu Qianchen and said, "Little Divine Doctor, this is a thank you gift from that monk the day before yesterday. β
Chu Qianchen took the box and didn't rush to open it.
After he took away the prescription for the treatment of miasma that day, he had never brought the patient to the follow-up examination, and now that he had sent a thank-you gift, he thought that the patient would be fine.
There are ten people in Jialou's envoy team who understand medical science, so they can naturally use her prescription as the basis and adjust the prescription according to the patient's condition.
Looking at the pattern of the Buddha's Eight Treasures on the box, Chu Qianchen's heart suddenly moved.
The big pill lacks a taste of medicine, and there has been no news from the Seven Spirit Grass.
Qiling grass is produced in the south of Yizhou, which is the junction of Yizhou and Haozhou, Wuhe clan has been dominant in Haozhou for two hundred years, although Qiling grass is rare, but the royal family of Haoguo wants to find it much easier than themselves and the prince.
After coming out of Jishitang, Chu Qianchen immediately took Amber to the post house in the south of the city.
She remembered the first time she met Jialou at a tea stall near the South City Gate, and she had heard his entourage mention that they lived in a post house.
For next month's longevity festival, there are many vassal Daqi Fanbang alien races to the capital to pay tribute, most of these people live in the Siyi Pavilion, but Nanhao people are different, Nanhao and Daqi are a big country with equal national strength, the Ministry of Rites did not dare to slack off, and arranged people to live temporarily in the post house in the capital.
The post house is only three streets away from Jishitang, and Chu Qianchen is on foot.
She generously asked the guards of the post house to pass on the message for her, bluntly saying that she wanted to ask to see the prince of Haoguo.
"Girl, please wait." The guards inevitably glanced at Chu Qianchen a few more times.
After Nan Hao's envoy arrived in the capital at the end of last month, in addition to the people from the Ministry of Rites, Chu Qianchen was the first person to come to the door, and he was a little girl who had not yet arrived.
What is such an ignorant little girl asking to see Uhagaru?!
Doubts are doubts, the guards still let people in and pass it on, and after a while, the bearded Hu Tama that Chu Qianchen had seen before came.
Tama looked Chu Qianchen up and down with a strange expression.
The eldest prince said that this little miracle doctor was the little girl who wore Yang in a hundred steps, and he looked a little like and a little different, especially the voice was very different, but the eldest prince said yes, then it was naturally.
The Great Qi Dynasty has a large number of people, and there are many capable people, it is not surprising to have such a young genius, not to mention anything else, it is the Chen King Gu Jue who once sent an envoy to their Hao Kingdom at the age of fourteen, which is both amazing and fearful.
"Please, girl." Tama stretched out his hand to make an appeal.
He led Chu Qianchen's master and servant into the post house, passing through the building at the front, and the courtyard behind it was suddenly a lot quieter, quite a feeling of being quiet in the middle of the noise.
Tama led Chu Qianchen to a quiet small courtyard in the northeast of the post house.
A faint smell of sandalwood can be smelled in the air, and a verdant green bamboo is planted in a corner of the courtyard, dancing and rustling in the wind, looking peaceful and quiet.
Chu Qianchen saw at a glance the young monk sitting in the pavilion dressed in white like snow.
Bamboo, monks, sandalwood.
Chu Qianchen couldn't help but think of a sentence: Verdant bamboo, all true. Lush yellow flowers, nothing more than a general*.
"Mage." Chu Qianchen greeted the Jialou in the pavilion, neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm, as if she was facing just an ordinary monk, not the prince of Nanhao.
In addition to Jialou in the pavilion, there is also a handsome young man in Tsing Yi.
"Girl, please be seated." Jialou stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and his voice was as warm as the spring glow of March.
Chu Qianchen sat down on the opposite side of Jialou in a good manner, and there was only a small stone table between the two, and there was a scripture book on the table.
Chu Qianchen didn't go around in circles, and didn't even ask Jialou's entourage who had been poisoned if he had recovered, and went straight to the point: "Jiangdong Lingnan, the mountains and rivers are wet and steaming, and between spring and summer, the wind is full of poison, causing more miasma. Every spring and summer, the people of Lingnan suffer deeply, and the seriously ill are dying. β
When Tama heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
But Jia Lou looked calm, looking at Chu Qianchen steadily, time seemed to stand still for a moment, only the green bamboo outside the pavilion was still swaying.
Donβt wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you.
Jialou asked directly, "I don't know what the girl wants to exchange?" β
"Seven Star Grass." Chu Qianchen said.
Tama and the young man in green clothes couldn't help but exchange a look.
Seven Star Grass is very rare, only grows on the border of Yizhou and Haozhou, and it is also precious and rare in Haoguo, but for the royal family, no matter how precious it is, it is not so difficult to find.
The inner curry of the Haoguo royal family has a collection of seven-star grass.
Jialou smiled slightly, and in front of Chu Qianchen, he instructed Tama Dao: "Tama, you will set off in the afternoon and go back to Dahao to fetch the Seven Star Grass in person." β
Tama solemnly received the order.
Bang bang! Chu Qianchen's heart beat faster. She originally thought it would take some time, but she didn't expect that the Nanhao royal family would have the Seven Star Grass in their hands.
It was a bonus.
The other party was refreshing, and Chu Qianchen was also very refreshing, and directly dictated his recipe: "Sixty dollars for knowing the mother, twenty dollars for Qianhu, and forty dollars for the bones and skins......"
"According to this recipe, adding honey can make twenty pills, as long as you take one pill half an hour in advance, and then enter the miasma, you can keep you safe and sound for two hours."
Tama widened his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Qianchen in surprise.
He originally thought that this little divine doctor would give Fang Zi when he got the Seven Star Grass, but he didn't expect her to give it so quickly.
This little girl is young, delicate and weak, and acts honestly!
Whether it was the shocking arrow that day, or the calmness and calmness of facing the Great Qi Emperor in Jishitang before, it made people feel that she was not simple.
However, isn't she afraid that they will rely on the Seven Star Grass if they get the formula?!
Of course, their eldest prince has always kept his promises.
But how could she be so sure?
It's just that in the snap of a finger, Tama is already thinking about it.
It doesn't matter if this girl is a human being, a ghost or a demon, the eldest prince is discerning and extremely smart, no one can hide it from the eldest prince at all, anyway, as long as he listens to the eldest prince, it's right!
Tama stood tall outside the pavilion like a spear standing on the field.
