Age of Chaos Valentine's Day Special (Part I) Red bean balls

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, tsk, I wish there are lovers in the world who will eventually become married~

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a large manor on the outskirts of Yangzhou City, and the owner of the manor, Li Yuanwai, had a lot of money and a daughter.

Now Miss Li is slim, dignified and virtuous, and she is about to leave the cabinet.

It's just that she has an introverted personality, and she only paints red embroidery on the second-floor boudoir every day, and does a good needlework.

In a blink of an eye, it was the rainy season in Yangzhou City, and the rain was endless, and it lasted for more than half a month.

Just when everyone was finally looking forward to the sunny day, Miss Li had "anorexia", and she couldn't raise her appetite in the face of the food sent to the boudoir by Yahuan, and often let her subordinates take it away after eating chopsticks.

This made Li Yuanwai and Mrs. Li anxious, and they took great pains to invite the best chef in Yangzhou City, one trick a day, but Miss was still indifferent to these delicacies.

Li Yuanwai saw that this trick didn't work, so he hurriedly invited the most famous "Saihuatuo" in Yangzhou City, but after some careful diagnosis, this "Saihuatuo" could not find the slightest abnormality in the young lady's body, and Li Yuanwai was even more anxious.

On this day, it suddenly rained heavily, and to Li Yuanwai's surprise, his daughter made an exception to eat a big bowl of rice, but as soon as the sky cleared, her daughter couldn't eat anymore.

In the following days, Li Yuanwai finally gradually figured out the law of his daughter's anorexia: as long as it rained heavily, his daughter's appetite would return to the same as before, but the heavy rain stopped, and after a few sunny days, his daughter began to be anorexic again.

Li Yuanwai asked her daughter why this happened, and Miss Li said that she didn't know what was going on, so she lowered her head and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Li Yuanwai felt that there must be a reason for this, but he couldn't figure out why.

Later, Li Yuanwai heard a maid in the house say that the young lady had this disease, I am afraid that she had provoked something unclean, and under the suspicion of the letter, Li Yuanwai invited Ma Daopo from the neighboring village to the young lady's boudoir to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

After the ceremony, Li Yuanwai sent Ma Daopo out of the Li Mansion, and happened to meet Feng Langzhong from the village at the gate.

Feng Langzhong couldn't help but laugh: "Li Yuanwai is a smart person, even if he is in a hurry to go to the doctor, he can't invite this kind of pretending to be a ghost!" ”

Li Yuanwai squinted his eyes and said: "'Saihuatuo' can't be invited, let alone your barefoot Langzhong, since Langzhong doesn't work, I have to ask her to try." ”

Feng Langzhong was agitated and shouted: "You didn't invite me, maybe I can cure your young lady's illness!" ”

Li Yuanwai glanced at him and sneered: "In this way, if Ma Daopo's method doesn't work, how about I ask you to come and see Miss?" If you don't see it well, how about punishing you to work hard for a few days at my house? ”

Feng Langzhong was angry, he didn't think about it, and blurted out: "One word is a certainty!" ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to slap his two mouths, and he didn't even have a good illness about "Saihuatuo", how could he dare to agree!

On this day, Li Yuanwai really sent someone to say that Ma Daopo's method was not working, and Li Yuanwai invited Feng Langzhong to go to Li's mansion as promised.

Feng Langzhong thought dejectedly, it seemed that a few days of hard work were inevitable.

Feng Langzhong cautiously walked into Miss Li's boudoir, only to see that the interior was extremely elegantly furnished, and he couldn't help but admire it carefully.

This is a two-storey boudoir building located in the east courtyard of Li Mansion, the boudoir opens a small screen window to the east, and on a small desk in front of the screen window is a mandarin duck brocade that Miss Li has just embroidered.

Feng Langzhong raised his eyes through the screen window and looked out, only to see that there was a bend in the river flowing slowly southward not far from the high wall, and there was a looming bamboo row floating on the river, and a few water birds screamed and skimmed the water, which was really picturesque and intoxicating.

At this time, Li Yuanwai urged impatiently: "Hey, Feng Langzhong, hurry up and see a doctor for Miss." ”

Feng Langzhong came back to his senses and said, "I'm not completely sure, maybe Miss only needs to eat a red bean pill." Well, I'll go home now and fill the medicine and deliver it early tomorrow morning. If my red bean pill doesn't work, it's not too late for you to punish me, sir. ”

Li Yuanwai lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded.

The next morning, Feng Langzhong led the medicine boy Chunsheng and came to the Li Mansion with a brocade box, and he was going to the lady's boudoir without saying a word.

Li Yuanwai waved his hand: "This is not for you, you just need to hand over the red bean pills to me." ”

Feng Langzhong said: "Do you know, before eating this red bean ball, you need to warm half a stick of incense in the arms of a young boy, and then take advantage of the heat to swallow it instantly." This warm time is the most difficult to grasp, for a long time, the temperature is too high, and the medicine will be invalid; If the temperature is too low, the efficacy of the drug will be sharply reduced. ”

Li Yuanwai sighed: "According to what you say, it seems that this person with warm medicine really has to have two hits!" ”

Feng Langzhong replied: "Of course, but you don't have to worry about this, I brought you the person who warmed the medicine!" After speaking, he pulled Chunsheng in front of Li Yuanwai and shouted, "Don't meet Master Li yet!" ”

Although Chunsheng was sixteen or seventeen years old, he didn't seem to have seen anything in the world, so he was so frightened that he immediately stepped forward and gave Li Yuanwai a deep salute.

Then, Li Yuanwai took Feng Langzhong and Chunsheng to Miss Li's boudoir.

Chunsheng was very cramped to open the brocade box he was carrying, took out the pearl-sized red bean ball, and then carefully wrapped it in a piece of white silk, lifted his coat, and put it in his arms.

After a long while, Chunsheng lowered his head and said to Feng Langzhong, "The red bean pill is warm. ”

After speaking, put the red bean pill in the young lady's hand and asked her to take it quickly.

The next day, Li Yuanwai came to Feng Langzhong's house in person, couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and said: "Doctor Feng, your medicine is really miraculous, now the little girl's appetite is as good as ever, and her anorexia is completely cured." ”

Feng Langzhong laughed and then became serious: "Miss must take a red bean pill every day to recover." But this red bean pill is very complicated to match, time-consuming and laborious, only one a day can be matched, and the price is naturally more expensive, one has to cost ten taels of silver. ”

Li Yuanwai shouted: "What, ten taels of silver, the price you want is too high, right?" ”

Feng Langzhong flicked his sleeves: "The price is high, who doesn't know that your Li Yuanwai's family has a lot of money, and every day is gold, what is ten taels of silver?" If you don't eat it, forget it, I'm too lazy to sell it! ”

Although Li Yuanwai knew that Feng Langzhong was deliberately raising the price, there was no way.

In this way, every day Feng Langzhong took Chunsheng to send a red bean pill to Li Mansion, and after Miss Li ate the red bean pill, her appetite was very good every day.

A month later, Feng Langzhong suddenly got a strange disease, he couldn't afford to be sick, and he was about to die.

When Li Yuanwai heard about it, he hurried to visit.

Feng Langzhong's face was sallow, he held Li Yuanwai's hand, and said intermittently: "I am Langzhong, I know that I have an incurable disease, and I am afraid that time is running out now, but I still can't let go of the illness of your daughter." Actually, there is a better way to cure Miss's illness, please let me and Chunsheng go to your mansion now. ”

Li Yuanwai obeyed his words, and immediately asked someone to carry Feng Langzhong to the Li Mansion.

Feng Langzhong, with the support of Chunsheng, went up to Miss Li's boudoir, and came to the screen window on the east side of the boudoir in a trembling manner, and suddenly turned his head and said, "Child, kneel down for Li Yuanwai!" ”

After Chunsheng heard this, he immediately knelt down in front of Li Yuanwai.

Li Yuanwai was puzzled, Feng Langzhong called Miss Li over again, pointed to Chunsheng who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "Miss, my godson Chunsheng likes you very much." You see I'll tell you how about a matchmaker, Chunsheng, this kid has beautiful eyebrows and knows how to heal......"

Li Yuanwai suddenly interrupted: "Feng Langzhong, what are you talking about?" ”

At this time, a red glow flew over Miss Li's face, and she also knelt on the ground: "Father, please fulfill me and Chunsheng!" ”

Feng Langzhong took Li Yuanwai's hand at this time, pointed out the screen window and asked, "There was a heavy rain just yesterday, did you see the bamboo raft on the river not far away through the screen window?" ”

Li Yuanwai nodded. Feng Langzhong continued: "Look at the high wall under this boudoir again, it just blocks the view.

Now it has just rained heavily, and the river is surging, and the bamboo raft can naturally be seen.

But after the weather clears, within two days, the water in the river will fall, and the bamboo row will naturally drop a height with the water level.

This is the reason why Miss has a good appetite on rainy days and anorexia on sunny days.

Li Yuanwai, you may not know that after Chunsheng goes to the mountains every day to pick herbs, he will run to the bamboo raft to clean them.

Miss Li stood at the window and could just see the spring life on the bamboo row, and over time, the young lady's heart was already tied to the bamboo row. ”

At this time, Miss Li blushed and asked in surprise, "Feng Langzhong, how do you know my secret?" ”

Feng Langzhong explained: "When I came to your boudoir that day, I saw that you were embroidered with mandarin ducks, and I saw the looming bamboo row through the screen window, and remembered that Chunsheng would go to the bamboo row every day to wash Chinese herbs, so I boldly speculated.

Like your age is the time of spring, when it is sunny, the river falls, and the bamboo row also falls, because the sight is blocked by this wall, I miss my lover and can't see my lover, so I naturally feel sad and don't think about tea and dinner. ”

Li Yuanwai said in surprise: "This is really too bizarre, too incredible!" ”

Feng Langzhong sighed and said, "This is also human nature, it's just that I'm a little more careful."

The first time I came to see Miss, I wasn't sure for sure, but after she finished her first red bean pill, I was sure that my assumption was correct.

The red bean pill was actually an ordinary pill, and it didn't have any miraculous effects.

I said that the red bean balls should be eaten warm, but I just wanted Chunsheng to have more opportunities to contact Miss. ”

Speaking of this, Feng Langzhong looked at Li Yuanwai with expectant eyes.

"I sold the red bean pills to you at a high price, and they were all prepared for Chunsheng, so that you can spend more silver taels to buy some good gifts, and when you find someone to propose to you in the future, it will not be too shabby.

Master Li, you will fulfill their lovers. ”

Li Yuanwai looked at Chunsheng and his daughter, who were already teary-eyed in front of him, and finally nodded with a smile.
