Chapter 6: Forsythia Love (1)
The maidservant Xiaoqing hugged Bai Yale and slowly walked behind the old man.
The group came to the outermost part of the medicine field, which was a large area of forsythia.
Verdant green, occasionally see one or two yellow buds, like stars.
⊙∀⊙! Bai Yale was shocked!
Growing up in a seaside city, it was the first time she had seen forsythia planted on such a large scale.
Is there any reason for this?
Bai Zheng saw the little granddaughter's wide cat eyes, slightly open her small mouth, and looked incredibly cute.
His eyebrows were slightly upturned, and he couldn't help but proudly introduce it.
"It's your great-grandfather's masterpiece."
Bai Yale turned her head and blinked cutely, tried to soften her voice, and said cutely: "Great-grandfather, he is so powerful." ”
Bai Zheng looked at the forsythia field like a blue sea, and sighed slightly: "This is the wasteland that your great-grandfather opened up when he was nineteen years old. ”
"Back then, the Bai family was still a small medicine farmer's family, and they lived in a dilapidated thatched hut over there." Bai Zheng raised his hand and pointed to the distance and said, "It was my grandfather who ignored the opposition of the old people in the family and exchanged all the savings of the family for a pound of forsythia seeds." ”
"Why does it have to be forsythia?" Bai Yale asked incomprehensibly.
"Hehe, your great-grandfather was very powerful, he observed the sky day and night, and said that there would be a drought in the coming year, and if there was a drought, he was afraid that there would be a plague."
Bai Yale instantly understood that forsythia can clear away heat and detoxify, reduce swelling and dissipate knots.
In traditional Chinese medicine, it can be used for carbuncles, scrofula, cradle carbuncles, erysipelas, wind-heat cold, the beginning of warm illness, warm camp, high fever and polydipsia, dizziness and other symptoms.
For the plague, forsythia can be antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antiemetic, analgesic and other effects.
Definitely the first choice.
She silently praised her great-grandfather in her heart!
Bai Zheng looked at the origin of the Bai family, and remembered today's glory, and couldn't help but be full of ambition.
He wants to make the Bai family famous all over the world in his way!
"Did the great-grandfather succeed?" Bai Yale looked at his inexplicably excited grandfather, suddenly felt a chill behind him, and quickly changed the topic.
"Of course, my great-grandfather found a new planting method called transplanting after countless practices!"
Bai Yale was shocked again, her great-grandfather might be a traverser!
Desperate to know more, she asked, "What is transplanting?" ”
Bai Zheng subconsciously replied, "Transplanting is to transplant the surviving seedlings into the cultivated medicine field!" ”
When he reacted, he saw his little granddaughter, whose eyes were shining, suddenly stopped.
He was so moved that he suppressed his excitement, smiled rarely, and reached out to touch the little girl's head.
The only one who is interested in this is the little granddaughter!
Alas! Could it be that his Bai family has no descendants?
"These grandfathers will teach you slowly, are you willing to learn from grandpa?"
"Yes!" Bai Yale blinked, of course, the more knowledge, the better.
"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! ”
Bai Zheng laughed heartily and said three good words in a row.
He took Bai Yale from Xiaoqing's arms, let her sit on his arm, and slowly walked towards the medicine field.
All the entourage was shocked, how long had it been since the old lady had laughed like this? They don't remember exactly!
"Grandpa, what did my great-grandfather do afterwards?" Bai Yale sat comfortably on her arm full of security, probably related by blood, and she didn't feel awkward at all.
"Your great-grandfather planted forsythia seeds in a new way, and he transplanted them in spring and March, but he didn't expect them to blossom and bear fruit the following year!
Your great-grandfather donated all the harvest of about 300 catties of forsythia to the government to treat the plague that was rampant at that time.
For a while, this matter caused a sensation in Fengguo, and the local government sent your great-grandfather's heroic deeds to Fengcheng quickly! ”
"The emperor of the year, Long Yan Dayue, immediately issued an order to summon Bai Yemao of the Bai family!"
"That's a matter of honoring the ancestors!"
"Later, your great-grandfather was sent by the villagers for ten miles, until now Fucheng."
"Wow⊙∀⊙!" Bai Yale sighed, it turns out that our family has merits!
"Later, our Bai family had a plaque from the royal palace 'Medicine Farmer Jinshi'."
Bai Zheng changed his previous serious expression, looked at his little granddaughter with a smile and said, "That plaque is hanging in the ancestral hall of the Fucheng Lord's family." ”
"The Lord of Fucheng?" Bai Yale tilted her head slightly, and her butterfly-like eyelashes fanned, she hadn't been there yet!
"Hehehe! When you grow up! Grandpa will take you to Fucheng to have a look, how about it? ”
"Good!" Bai Yale was very happy, but the tears in the corners of her mother's eyes flashed in front of her eyes instantly, and she asked hesitantly: "Then will Daddy and Mother also go with Lele?" ”
Bai Zheng looked at his little granddaughter with reluctance and worry on her face, withdrew her smile, and said lightly: "Lele, do you want them to follow?" ”
"Uh-huh!" Bai Yale nodded instinctively in an instant, she had no father and no mother in her previous life, in this life, she is a person with a father, and she is indifferently eager to be with her father.
"Then, if grandpa says they can't go, won't Lele go to Fucheng with grandpa?" Bai Zheng still had an indifferent expression.
Bai Yale's heart suddenly calmed down, she looked at her grandfather seriously, and said, "Then I don't want to go!" A place without a father and mother is not the home Lele wants! ”
"Even if it's the loss of power?"
Bai Yale suddenly didn't want to continue to test the pedantic old man, so he said scoundrelly: "Grandpa, what do you say, Lele doesn't understand~"
Bai Zheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed, he patted his little granddaughter's head, and walked forward in a good mood.
The two soon came to the edge of the medicine field.
Bai Zheng put Bai Yale down, squatted on the ground by himself, pointed to these forsythia and said, "Lele take care of it carefully, what's different about these forsythia?" ”
Bai Yale lowered her head, looked at the forsythia who was about the same height as her, and carefully distinguished.
Here the forsythia, the branches are spread or drooping, brown, tan or light yellowish brown, the twigs are earthy yellow or grayish-brown, slightly quadrangular, sparsely porous, hollow internodes, and the nodes have a solid pith.
The leaves are mostly single-leafed, or trilobed to triple-out, and the leaves are ovate, broadly ovate, or elliptic-ovate.
"This is the best harvested variety of forsythia, and your great-grandfather named it Qingqiao in honor of your great-grandmother."
Bai Zheng looked at Forsythia very seriously and explained them to his little granddaughter one by one.
"What kind of person is my great-grandmother?" Bai Yale was curious.
"Your great-grandmother was also a very legendary person." Bai Zheng looked at the forsythia all over the mountain with a nostalgic expression, as if he had seen the scene of the past.
"When grandpa is free, I'll talk to you in detail! Let's go look at the report now and go home! ”
"Okay, Grandpa! Will we come back tomorrow? ”
"Do you still want to come?"
"Yes!"
"Take us!"
"Yay!"
