Chapter 002: The Pill-Tested Boy
It was the first time that Green Peach had heard Shen Shu speak in such a tone, and she nodded in a daze.
Seeing this, Shen Shu looked at the living creatures in the cage again-
The marks on their eyebrows disappeared in an instant.
She finally relented, turned and walked back to her room.
At dusk, the setting sun shines through the half-open window lattice, sprinkling the afterglow on the Huanghuali dressing table carved with peach blossom patterns.
In the bronze mirror of the dressing table, Shen Shu's face is reflected.
Shen Shu looked at herself in the mirror, and for some reason, she was a little stunned for a while-
In the mirror, at the age of fourteen or fifteen years old, although she gave birth to a pair of boudoir women's favorite Yuanshan Dai, she always likes to paint them with more heroic sword eyebrows.
Her eyes didn't follow the peach blossom eyes of Daddy and the third brother, they were slightly long apricot eyes.
Although when laughing, these eyes are neither romantic nor suave, but the eyes are clear and clean. deceived people in Yunbian City, whether men, women or children, she never missed.
Shen Shu is most satisfied with her nose, which is straight and straight, and when she combs it into a man's hairstyle, she has no trace of femininity.
As for her lips......
The powder was slightly raised, and she smiled before she spoke, as bright as the spring light of March, and she felt a little strange today......
"Girl, Mrs. has brought your favorite medicinal porridge, eat it while it's hot."
Green Peach and the other three maids in the house, their hands and feet were neat on the table, and they laid out porridge and side dishes.
Shen Shu came back to her senses and turned her head to look-
She was outside, and she only looked at the pigeons, but did not notice the people.
Now, she looked at the three girls standing side by side, and she was stunned again.
They have round faces that bear a striking resemblance to Green Peach, and are twins of two pairs of cousins.
Similar to Shen Shu are green peaches and yellow peaches.
The smaller pair is a peach and a cherry.
But it's clear ...... It should be a very familiar personal maid.
Shen Shu felt as if she hadn't seen her in eight lifetimes.
Wearing a yellow peach with a yellow clip, she walked up to Shen Shu, and while combing the messy hair on the side of Shen Shu's face, she smiled and quipped: "The girl is in the yard just now, what kind of role is she playing?" That crying scene really turned a thousand times, and the slave and maid cried. β
Shen Shu saw that her eyes were really a little red and swollen, and replied casually: "I had a nightmare, in the dream the pigeon died, I drank pigeon soup, and then for some reason, I was the only one left."
I can't find my father, my mother, and my brother, even you...... I didn't know where I went, I wanted to cry in my dreams, but I couldn't, and when I woke up and saw the pigeon come back to life, I cried bitterly. β
Shen Shu seemed to be saying this to Huang Tao, more like explaining to herself.
She really felt that since she woke up, she was so abnormal.
The dream, chaotic, she couldn't see anything but the pigeons.
Huang Tao served Shen Shu to sit down, took a spoon and lightly scooped the porridge, brought it to her lips, and persuaded her gently: "The girl is afraid that she will hit her head, she will be frightened, and she will have a nightmare." It's just a dream, don't take it seriously, you can taste this porridge, it was made by Madame herself staring at the small kitchen. β
Shen Shu tugged at the corners of her mouth.
She wanted to talk about the scene in her dream, but it had already come trueβ
But after all, he didn't say anything, opened his mouth coyly, and ate the porridge.
As soon as Shen Shu's tongue touched the porridge, an extremely astringent bitter taste rushed straight into her throat!
"Poofβ"
Shen Shu pushed Huang Tao's hand away, quickly spit out the porridge on the plate, picked up the water cup and rinsed his mouth.
"Is it medicine porridge or medicine that A-Niang asked people to give, why is it so bitter!"
Shen Shu's face was bitter green, and she gargled several times, but the bitter taste seemed to be wrapped around the tip of her tongue, and she couldn't shake it off.
Huang Tao was startled and hurriedly scooped a spoonful to taste.
"Girl, this porridge is sweet, not bitter at all, the slave and maid also specially added a spoonful of sugar, how can it be bitter?"
Shen Shu rinsed her mouth again, her face full of accusations.
"There is too much Poria powder here, and Codonopsis is also inferior, obviously it is bitter, you let a few of them taste it."
Huang Tao gave the porridge to the other peaches in confusion.
After tasting a few peaches, they shook their heads.
"Girl, it's really not bitter, it's really sweet."
"It's so sweet."
Shen Shu was surprised.
She took the bowl of porridge back from Huang Tao's hand and sniffed itβ
The strong smell of medicine rushed into the tip of her nose.
"Such a big smell, isn't it bitter? Poria cocos, Codonopsis, and astragalus! How could A-Niang let people put so many tonic medicines in the porridge? β
A few peaches looked at each other.
Lu Tao was the first to react, pointing to the white porridge in the bowl: "Girl, look at this porridge, except for white rice, there is no root ginseng in the clean, where is the tonic?" Even if the tonic was put in the kitchen when cooking porridge, it was all in the pot, and the slaves and maids tasted it, and it was indeed sweet. β
She said, with a hint of doubt on her face: "Besides, you can't even tell the grains on weekdays, how do you know what's in this porridge?" Do you know what Poria cocos, Codonopsis and Astragalus look like? β
"Of course I do." Shen Shu replied without hesitation.
A few Taoqi brushed and looked at her, and four very similar round faces, all of them were full of "no, phase, letter".
Shen Shu choked.
She stood up, strode into the study, picked up the pen, dipped the ink, and was about to draw all the three flavors of medicinal herbs, so that the four peaches could take a good lookβ
The ink drips on the rice paper and blends.
Shen Shu suddenly found that in her mind, she had no impression of the appearance of these medicinal materials!
Green Peach has the straightest temperament, and when she saw Shen Shu frozen in front of the bookcase, her eyes were crooked with a smile: "If the girl doesn't like to take medicinal porridge, the slave will go and change a bowl of white porridge for you." β
Shen Shu racked her brains, but in the end she could only put down her pen and sit back at the table again.
The medicinal porridge was still on the table, steaming slightly.
Shen Shu smelled the smell of medicine wafting into the tip of her nose, and was puzzled.
The maids didn't dare to gang up to deceive her.
Since they say that porridge is sweet, the problem lies with herself.
Shen Shu didn't give up and picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of porridge, and wanted to taste it again-
This action, as if she had opened some mechanism, suddenly brought up many unfamiliar images in her mind!
"Bah-"
The spoon fell back into the bowl from Shen Shu's hand, making a crunching sound.
Through those pictures, Shen Shu clearly saw a figure that looked very similar to her, crouching in front of the desk, like her at this moment, tasting the medicinal juice bowl by bowl.
Every time he tasted a bowl of potion, the man would write down the names of the herbs contained in the potion on a piece of paper.
From early morning to dusk, and then from dusk to early morning.
Day after day, year after year.
Bowl after bowl.
The man's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to hers, but when the medicine was in, the man didn't even frown, as if he was eating white porridge.
Nonetheless β
Shen Shu just knew how bitter those medicines were, so bitter that when she saw these pictures, bile was gushing in her throat!
"Gross-"
Shen Shu really vomited bitter water, causing the four peaches to panic and hand her water and pat her on the back.
And Shen Shu, who was surrounded by them, was already very sure in her heart, that figure must be herself!
Until this moment, the doubts that had plagued Shen Shu's heart since she woke up were finally answered by her-
It must have been that she accidentally offended the immortals, so she was detained by the immortals in her dreams and became a boy who tried medicine!
Longevity!
No wonder she suddenly opened her eyes to see the yang shou of the dying and alive.
This must be the compensation given to her by the gods!
