Chapter 101: Development
Lian Xin followed Ruoxue in, walked to the table of the Eight Immortals under the window, put down the food box in her hand, opened the lid and took out a green glazed lotus plate, on which was a yam and jujube mud cake cut into small pieces to make a tower.
The ruddy and smooth yam jujube mud cake, with a unique sweet and glutinous fragrance, is diffused and spreads, and a few maids in the house can't help but look at it, just looking at it knows that it must be delicious.
"Lao, you are still thinking about me, an old lady, come and sit down. Qinglian went to make tea. ”
"Yes."
Qinglian, who was standing by the wall, turned around and went to the next room to make tea.
Qingzhu asked people to bring clean water, took a clean handkerchief and soaked it in a copper basin, and wiped the old lady's hands.
Ruoxue took the plate from Lianxin's hand, walked to the old lady's side, and said, "Grandma try it." ”
Qingzhu took a piece and handed it to the old lady.
The old lady took it in her hand with a smile, "I've bothered you to think about it." I'm an old man who doesn't like sweet pastries, so I'll try them today......" she said.
"It's unsweetened." Ruoxue smiled and said, "My aunt doesn't like sweets either, so I didn't put honey in the kitchen, but just used the sweetness of red dates to enhance the taste, and my aunt likes to eat it very much." ”
The old lady put it in her mouth and took a bite, it was soft and sweet, with the soft glutinous yam, and the sweetness of red dates, which was particularly delicious, "Well, it's delicious!" She complimented, then pointed to the other side and said, "Sit down." ”
Ruoxue sat on the kang with a plate, looked at Qingzhu standing next to her and smiled: "This sister should also try it." ”
"Then you're welcome." Qingzhu smiled and reached out to pick up a small bite and ate it.
"I guess, your aunt's appetite is not good? I like to eat such soft and glutinous food. The old lady said.
"Yes, my aunt hurt her body when she gave birth to me, and she has never been able to ,...... well," Ruoxue replied, and as she spoke, she placed the pastry plate on the kang table.
Qingzhu stepped forward, pulled the dominoes back on the kang table, and put some plates inside.
Qinglian carried the brewed hot tea on a tray and came in and placed it on the side of the kang.
"Oh, that's going to be the root of the disease." The old lady put the remaining small half of the cake in her mouth, reached out and touched Qingzhu to hand over the handkerchief, and wiped the corner of her mouth with it, "How old is your aunt?" ”
"My grandmother is thirty or nine years old this Chinese New Year's Eve." Ruoxue also said that the Tian family was good to her and her sister, although she couldn't take care of their sisters personally, but at three steps and five hours, she would ask the maid to ask them to add clothes and bedding, and she had to ask her more than a dozen times a day to rest assured.
The old lady said with emotion: "Whoever is a mother is worried about her life!" Your aunt is not very old, it would be good to find a good doctor to take care of it. Then he said, "How many brothers and sisters are there above you?" ”
Ruoxue was stunned for a moment, this was thinking that above her, her aunt should have a few children, "No, my aunt married her father at the age of eighteen, and she had no children a few years ago, and she was born when she was twenty-three years old." The eldest brother of my second uncle's family is the eldest in our generation. ”
"That's it!"
The old lady reached out and touched the plate on the kang table, took a piece of yam cake accurately, took a bite, and asked Ruoxue who still had those brothers and sisters at home.
Ruoxue saw that the old lady asked, and as if it was commonplace, she introduced a few cousins and sisters, as well as their ranking, which room they belonged to, and how old they were.
"The eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother are studying in the school, and the fourth brother is still young and has not yet gone to the school at home.
My second sister is the best, and the embroidered butterflies and goldfish are lifelike and real, very beautiful! My third sister was sick a few years ago, and she has only recently become better, and she is also learning to needle and chisel female red. Ruoxue said.
"The youngest child that day was Ruolan?" She asked.
"Yes." Ruoxue said.
"The little girl is very good at pleasing the old man." The old lady smiled and said that there are more children and more lively, and old people like her like to be lively, and they are most afraid of no one around, "My grandchildren and grandchildren are in the capital, and when I am with them, time passes ......quickly," she said.
"Well, my grandma also likes the children to be around,...... Ruoxue said.
The old lady ate two pieces of yam and jujube cake, wiped her hands and stopped eating, took two sips of tea from the maid, and casually asked Ruoxue what she did on weekdays, but she had invited Mr.
Ruoxue didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "On weekdays, I help A-Niang take care of the trivial things at home, look at the account books, and then read the books with my sisters, embroider and embroider, and the day will pass."
In the early years, my father hired a gentleman for me, and my sister and I also studied with him for a few years. ”
She had been with the old lady for more than an hour, and the old lady was a talkative person, and she loved to listen to others, and it was already past noon when Ruoxue returned.
At dusk, Tian Shun's daughter-in-law sent a woman to talk back to Ruoxue, saying that she had found out how the virus spread.
This woman's maiden name is Sun, and her name at home is Cai Nier, who married Liang Dashan in the house a few years ago, and since then people in the house have called her a daughter-in-law.
In order to distinguish herself from several other daughters-in-law, some people call her Liang's sister-in-law, and some people call her Liang's daughter-in-law.
Sister-in-law Liang bowed to Ruoxue before talking about the matter, "It may be that the jewels around the second lady went to deliver soup to the eldest young master, and the food box that was touched by the eldest young master's maid filled the second miss with cheese, so the second miss contracted the disease." ”
And the second lady Ruoxian didn't know that she was sick.
The next morning, she greeted Mrs. Cao, and she accompanied Mrs. Cao to breakfast, and only went back before noon.
In the afternoon, Ruoxian stayed with Yang for another half day. In the evening, there is a feeling of discomfort.
The next day, Mrs. Cao was also a little uncomfortable, so she asked Dr. Xiao Qi to come to diagnose the pulse, saying that it was caused by the wind and cold, and prescribed two doses of milder anti-epithetical decoction, and let the old lady drink it for two days, and then change the prescription.
In the afternoon, Yang also felt unwell, and invited Dr. Xiao Qi to see the second wife.
Yang and Ruoxian used the prescription of Doctor Qi.
Sister-in-law Liang said another thing, "In the afternoon, someone from the Yang family came to report the funeral to the house, saying that their little master was gone, and to say it, such an adult child died, and the funeral should not be done, just because Mrs. Yang loved the child, so she had to make a big ,......deal for the child," she said.
Ruohong still remembers that boy, who was a little man like a pink ball, and she hugged him for a while! Unexpectedly, it was only a few months later, and the child was gone.
It's really unpredictable, and I don't know what to do!
