Chapter 249: Moxibustion
The mother-in-law was in her forties, medium height, white and fat, and her husband's surname was Shi, saying that she was ordered by Hu Xing to do moxibustion for Yu Tang.
Yu Tang was curious: "Is it good for me to do moxibustion in this situation?" ”
It's hard for her to say that she was frightened, but since this mother-in-law was found with the help of the Pei family, she must know about her condition.
Shi Pozi smiled and said, "Of course it's good." Otherwise, Mr. Hu wouldn't have been in a hurry to call me over. ”
It's just that Pei Fu will invite his own doctor for minor illnesses in life, and he will go to Hangzhou to ask for famous doctors when he sees serious illnesses.
Therefore, Shi Pozi took this opportunity to give Yu Tang moxibustion as an opportunity to change the situation, not only had a very good attitude towards Yu Tang, but also promoted himself vigorously: "The main function of moxibustion is to strengthen the body and prevent some minor diseases such as colds. And I also do acupuncture and massage. Especially massage, I am the best at it. The wives and ladies of wealthy families rarely move around, and after a long time, they will inevitably have a meaty abdomen, and they will gain weight, and some will affect fertility. If you do more massage, you can avoid these disadvantages and strengthen your body......"
She kept talking about the benefits of massage, but Yu Tang didn't feel too much, but Qingyuan, who was listening next to her, was very interested. When Mrs. Shi gave Yutang moxibustion, she not only asked this and that, but also asked Mrs. Shi what she was doing now? Can you usually come to the door?
Shi Pozi's original intention was to be able to make a living in Pei Mansion in the future, so she naturally responded with a mouthful, and took out a bottle of incense to Yu Tang: "After doing moxibustion, it is easy to leave some moxa incense in the body." Some people like it very much, and some people don't like it very much. I saw that Miss Yu frowned from time to time just now, and she must not be used to the scent of mugwort. You can wash your hair and take a shower with this lotion that will instantly remove the smell of mugwort. I also did it myself. It can also be used when you are not doing moxibustion, and there are many other flavors. I came in a hurry this time, and I only brought this osmanthus scented one. You can try to use it first and see if you like it or not. ”
sent a very small bottle to Qingyuan, and said: "This time it's too urgent, this is still the last time I didn't use up, don't dislike it." ”
Qingyuan accepted it with great interest, put the mouth of the bottle under his nose and sniffed it, and said happily to Yu Tang: "It's the fragrance of jasmine." ”
Yu Tang hurriedly said: "Give me a smell too!" ”
Qingyuan put the bottle under Yu Tang's nose.
It may be that the craftsmanship is high, whether it is the osmanthus fragrance gift given by Mrs. Shi or this small bottle of jasmine fragrance, it is not as comfortable as the fragrance given to her by Miss Xu before. It's good already, though.
Yu Tang praised and praised.
Shi Pozi smiled on her face and said, "After doing moxibustion, you won't be able to get wet for a while, because I'm afraid that the cold will enter the body." You take a shower and wash your hair in an hour or two. ”
Yu Tang responded.
Qingyuan hurriedly went to help Yu Tang look at the funnel to keep track of the time, and told Qingping to remember that the time was up to remind Yu Tang.
Qingping smiled and said "yes".
Shi Pozi took the opportunity to tell Yu Tang about the pros and cons of acupuncture and moxibustion.
Yu Tang did moxibustion, and his body was warm, as if he had been ironed by a scald, very comfortable, lazy, and leaned on the big pillow to listen to Mrs. Shi gossip.
On the other side of the Dharma Hall, the lecture of the incompetent master is almost coming to an end, and the pilgrims are being asked questions to answer their confusion.
Pei Yan stretched out his feet silently.
This incompetent master is also in vain, coaxing those old ladies who have not seen the world.
He glanced at Tao Qing.
found that Tao Qing was so bored that he was about to fall asleep.
He couldn't help but chuckle.
Everyone is afraid that they will be tormented for Wei Sanfu and Wang Qibao to go to Jiangnan this time.
Pei Yan thought about it, but his mind turned.
I don't know how the little girl is now? Is it sick lying in bed? Or do you honestly read a picture book at home?
Peng Shiyi hasn't left yet, so it's okay for her to avoid it for a few days.
Just enough to give her a good rest for a few days.
Pei Yan's mind reappeared in the image of Yu Tang slumped on the soft sedan chair that day.
He suddenly wanted to see the little girl.
It seems that only in this way can he truly put his mind at ease.
Pei Yan pondered whether to find an excuse to leave first, but the handkerchief in Gu Xi's hand had already been crumpled.
Just now, the eldest lady asked her to bring her a message and asked her to have dinner with the eldest lady in the evening, saying that she hadn't seen her for some days and wanted her to be a companion.
The wives, grandmothers, and ladies in the hall all envied her for her good relationship with the eldest lady. But when she saw Pei Lao'an's face, which was as calm as water, and the second wife who served beside Pei Lao'an, she felt a burst of irritability.
The eldest lady is the eldest daughter-in-law, even if she is a widow, on this occasion, is it not good to serve and serve Pei Lao'an, and be filial? What do you have to hide in the quiet room, as if you were a big lady raised in the deep boudoir? And call her over...... Isn't the eldest lady afraid of others talking about her, she doesn't know how to advance and retreat, and has no rules?
Gu Xi couldn't refuse, so he had to smile and respond.
But the second wife still said to her with a concerned look: "Sister-in-law has been suffering these days. I heard that she ate two of the big buns of plain hearts that were sent to me at noon. It is rare for her to have such an appetite, so it can be seen that it is good to go out for a walk. I've told the kitchen to send a few more buns later. When you accompany my sister-in-law to dinner, you also help me keep an eye on what else she likes to eat. I'll give you a good job in the kitchen next time. ”
Gu Xi smiled and bent his knees to give the second wife a blessing, but in his heart he slandered the eldest wife, who was also a concubine, look at the second wife, how good she could talk and coax a few Lao An people.
No wonder the eldest lady is often talked about.
If you don't know how to be a person, you will be like this in a big family.
She quit Miss Wu and went to the eldest lady.
Who knew that the eldest lady called her, but she wanted to inquire about Yu Tang: "I heard that the doctor also arranged for her to have moxibustion." This Miss Yu, what is the origin? I heard that she used to live with you, do you know this person? ”
In her opinion, it would be nice if Pei Yan could marry such a girl.
In this way, Pei Yan will not be able to get the support of his wife's family.
Gu Xi was a little unhappy when he heard this, thinking that I asked you to stare at Yu Tang before, but now I find that Pei Yan attaches so much importance to Yu Tang and wants to inquire about Yu Tang's news, so he has to ask me for help.
She said respectfully: "Miss Yu, I don't know much about this person. We used to live together, but we just lived in two adjacent courtyards. I really don't know what kind of character Miss Yu is. ”
But what about the doctor?
Most of the big families don't like the doctors, thinking that they like to play right and wrong, which ruins the peace of the backyard.
The handkerchief in Gu Xi's hand was crumpled again, but her face was full of smiles, and she said, "Is the doctor really arranged by the third master?" Do Lao An people know? ”
If Pei Yan made an arrangement behind Lao Anren's back, Lao Anren would definitely be unhappy when he knew about it.
There are plenty of opportunities to take advantage of this.
It's a pity that the eldest lady was spoiled by Pei You, and she never took this mother-in-law seriously, so she didn't notice Gu Xi's intentions. Not only that, she was quite disappointed that Gu Xi didn't know anything, and she showed it unabashedly, "Are you still used to living in the temple?" Do you want me to send two maids over to serve you for a few days? ”
Gu Xi immediately realized that the eldest lady was going to act in her name.
She's not that stupid.
I don't get any benefits at all, and I use my reputation for convenience to others.
She smiled, "I'm fine over there." Miss Wu often comes over, as well as the Song family and the Peng family, which is quite lively. ”
That is to say, there are a lot of people on her side.
The eldest lady was even more disappointed.
Gu Xi didn't even want to eat, she hastily drank a bowl of soup and said that she was full, and she wanted to say goodbye in a hurry, and temporarily remembered the advice of the second wife before, she didn't want to lose her reputation in front of several Lao An and Peng and Song women, and she was really disgusting to the eldest wife, so she simply said straight to the point: "Are you still used to eating here?" I heard you had a few more buns at noon today, would you like to have a few more in the kitchen for you tomorrow? ”
No matter how delicious the plain bun of Zhaoming Temple is, the eldest lady is also a person who has seen the world, and she has eaten no worse than this vegetarian bun, plus she has been distressed about how to let Pei Tong go back to the capital during this time, and she is not very concerned about these food and accommodation, and the plain bun of Zhaoming Temple has not been eaten for a long time, so she ate a few more bites.
She said, "It's okay! It's Bai Zhi next to me, who said that it is difficult to eat the plain buns of Zhaoming Temple now, and I want to send a few for my family to taste. You can help me deliver a large portion tomorrow. ”
Bai Zhi was bought by the eldest lady after she arrived in Lin'an, and she is a native of Lin'an.
Gu Xi had inquired about the people around the eldest lady, and naturally knew about this Bai Zhi. Thinking that this Bai Zhi was mostly on an errand beside the eldest wife, he wanted to take the opportunity to show off.
It's also the little things.
Who can give without giving back?
The people around you should also be gracious and powerful.
She smiled and agreed, and reluctantly said a few words to the eldest lady, and then got up to take her leave.
Yu Tang was laughing and laughing.
The second wife and several young ladies of the Pei family came over, everyone either asked her how she felt, or asked her if she was still uncomfortable, chattering, Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang San also came, and the second wife asked about Mrs. Yang's body again, Mrs. Yang San was answering, Chen came in with home-made snacks and sweets, and said that Mrs. Shi came to do moxibustion in the afternoon, and the second wife and Mrs. Yang called Qingyuan in for questioning......
The laughter spread far away in the quiet twilight, stung Gu Xi, who was about to go back to his residence.
Gu Xi greeted the sunset, stood for a while, and suddenly turned around and went to the place where Pei Tong lived.
Hexiang was startled and said, "Miss, what are you going to do here?" Why don't I go and tell the eldest prince in advance? ”
Gu Xi sneered, thinking that Pei Tong was standing next to Pei Xuan like an invisible person all day today, her heart began to burn.
She said, "Go!" ”
Hexiang ran away with a puff of smoke.
Soon, Gu Xi met Pei Tong, who came to greet her quickly.
"Is something wrong?" Pei Tong had fine sweat on his forehead, but his voice was still very soft, "I'm drinking tea with my second uncle and the sect masters of several families!" ”
In other words, he came out on the way to socialize.
