Chapter 370: Hibiscus Noodles (4)
Is there anything more terrible in this world than ghosts?
Rui'er smiled and glanced at her face in the bronze mirror, she felt that face was the most terrifying thing in the world.
A bland face, and the word "poor" written all over the face.
Ruier gritted her teeth fiercely, turned to look at the scary birthmark on the old beggar's face, and asked him, "Is this okay?" ”
"Just drink the bowl in front of you and imagine the life of the person you want to replace in the mirror, and you will see miracles and your wishes will come true."
Ruiel looked down at the bowl, which contained a lot of black soup. I don't know what the soup was made of, and it was sticky and smelled smoky. The smell reminded Ruier of a corner of the countryside and the smell of her own body.
Ruil furrowed her eyebrows. It's not that she didn't think that the old beggar wanted to harm herself. But compared to the countless difficult days in the future, she would rather gamble in this City God Temple. The big deal is death, and death is the least feared thing for the poor.
Pinching his nose, tilting his head, he swallowed the bowl of black gooey stuff. As the soup slid down her throat, it had an unbearable sour taste, and Ruier had to hold back desperately to keep herself from vomiting. Finally, when she finished drinking, she looked at the old beggar with a defiant look in her eyes. The old beggar just smiled and asked, "How do you feel?" Does it hurt? ”
As soon as the old beggar finished speaking, Rui'er's abdomen hurt violently, and she rolled on the ground with her stomach in her arms.
"You...... You're hurting me! ”
"How can it be so easy to exchange other people's fate. If you want to get what you want, you always have to suffer a little and pay a price. ”
"At what cost?"
Ruiel gritted her teeth and curled up in a ball, looking like shrimp that had just been thrown into a pot and boiled.
"You'll find out later."
The old beggar yawned: "If you wake up, go home, and in three months at the latest, you will get what you want." The old beggar reminded the girl that this face can be changed, but the things next to it can't. While there is still time, learn more about how to be a real lady, not a maid. You're so smart that you should know what the old beggar meant, right? ”
Rui'er's eyes were blurry in pain, and she could only nod subconsciously.
When she woke up, it was dawn. In the City God Temple, she was the only one left.
At first, Rui'er didn't notice any change in herself, she just thought that she was teased by the old beggar, and every day she thought about how to pull the old beggar out and beat him up. It wasn't until one day, when she accidentally saw her face in the mirror where she was dressing, that she realized that the old beggar was not lying. Her face was changing at a subtle, imperceptible rate.
Her eyes are getting bigger, her nose is getting straighter, and even her mouth is getting better. Ruier could see that she was becoming Luo Fu step by step, and Luo Fu was becoming her little by little.
In order to let Luo Fu stay married, the Luo family rarely comes to the backyard on weekdays, and Luo Fu has been preparing his dowry during this time, and most of the time he has stayed on the embroidery floor, so no one knows about these changes except her.
Ruil was excited, and she knew that her wish would soon come true.
The excitement in Rui'er's eyes couldn't be hidden, and when Luo Shi saw it, he thought that Rui'er was happy for her family. When she finally embroidered the wedding dress by herself and tried it on in front of the mirror, she found that her face had become different from the original. The face in the bronze mirror is somewhat familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen it.
It's Chinese New Year's Eve soon, and after the New Year, the team of the husband and the prince will arrive at Yunjiaji. Luo Shi was very panicked, she knew that she would never use such a face to meet her future husband. So, she used distraction as an excuse to go to her cousin for help, but was introduced by her cousin to Chang Tai, who was helping to deal with the disappearance case of Yunfu and the case of the corpse pit of 100 people in the suburbs. Chang Tai naturally recommended Luo Fu to Xing Ruyi.
At the moment, Xing Ruyi still didn't know about the transaction between Rui'er and the old beggar, she just felt that these changes that happened to Rui'er were a little strange.
"Miss Xing, I heard that Master Chang say that you are well-informed, and you have encountered many strange things. Luo Fu wants to ask, is there a person in this world who gets uglier and uglier as he grows? ”
"Yes!" Xing Ruyi replied affirmatively: "Old people often say that when you are young, you will grow ugly, and when you are ugly, you will grow more and more beautiful. Of course, there are also some people who are just as beautiful as they have been since they were young, but to put it bluntly, this beauty is not in the skin. Those children who grow uglier and uglier are not because they are really ugly, but because their inner bones change as they get older. It's just that such a big change usually only occurs during the growth period. The girl is now seventeen years old, and her face has long been set, so it is said that there will not be such a big change. ”
"Could it be because I have some kind of illness and I don't know."
"A disease that can make a woman ugly, Ruyi knows one." Xing Ruyi said, dipping his fingers in the tea and writing two words on the table: "Spleen deficiency!" ”
"Spleen deficiency?" Luo Fu frowned: "Why can this spleen deficiency make people ugly?" ”
"Dysfunction of the spleen and stomach will lead to a weakening of the body's ability to transport and digest food, insufficient nutrition, and a decrease in blood, which will lead to a person's unsightly complexion, especially a woman like you and me. The most obvious symptoms are: yellowish complexion and dull skin.
Secondly, there are the lips. Doctors often say that the spleen is open to the mouth, and the spleen is white in the lips and lips. If the white lips become inconspicuous, it must indicate that the function of the spleen and stomach has deteriorated. This lip color is not good-looking, and it will also affect a person's beauty level to a large extent.
Finally, there is the tip of the nose. Under normal circumstances, the tip of a person's nose is bright and moisturized, and if it loses its luster, the whole face will lose its vitality along with it. A beauty that has lost her life is like a wilting flower, even if it is a peony in the imperial city, if it wilts, it will not look good. ”
"So, that means I'm suffering from this spleen deficiency too?" Luo Fu asked cautiously: "Is there a way to regulate this spleen deficiency?" ”
"Yes, yes, but it takes longer. This spleen deficiency is not formed in a day or two, so it also takes a long time to replenish it. Fortunately, what you are looking for today is my punishment Ruyi, I can give you a recipe for internal and external adjustment, although I dare not say that it is a miracle, but before the girl leaves the cabinet, this complexion will definitely improve. ”
"Thank you, girl!"
"You're welcome, the girl has found me, and she should do her best."
Xing Ruyi said, walked to the counter, grabbed a pen and paper first: "Ruyi first prescribes two internal dietary prescriptions for the girl, which can be changed and drunk every day." After all, if you eat the same thing often, you will get tired of it after a long time. ”
"Red adzuki bean barley drink?"
Luo Fu walked over to Xing Ruyi's side and glanced at the paper.
"Red adzuki bean barley drink, choose 30 grams of red adzuki beans and 30 grams of barley, add water and simmer for about half an hour, and then pour out the soup and drink it while it is hot or cold. However, in this weather, Ruyi still recommends that you take it while the soup is still warm. ”
Hearing this, Luo Shi couldn't help laughing.
"The doctor's order of the criminal girl, Luo Fu wrote it down, but is this golden needle winter melon soup also a prescription for treating spleen deficiency? Luo Fu also thought that the girl would prescribe some bitter medicine that was difficult to swallow for Luo Shi. Don't hide it from the girl, Luo Shi has been afraid of taking medicine since he was a child, even if he has honey next to him. ”
"Some of the prescriptions for curing diseases require medication, but there are others that can be achieved through daily meals. For example, the enoki mushroom in this golden needle winter melon soup is a very nutritious ingredient, often given to young children, which can increase their intellectual development, which is what we often say, the more you eat, the smarter you are. In addition, regular consumption of enoki mushrooms can also fight fatigue, prevent and treat liver diseases and gastrointestinal diseases. You may not understand what I'm talking about, girl, just remember that this enoki mushroom is a good thing.
According to the "Shennong Materia Medica", winter melon has a pleasant and good color, and the effect of nourishing qi and not starving. If you eat it regularly, you can endure hard work and be unhappy. It is used to make facial fat, which can remove blackness, moisturize the skin, and clear the stomach.
Soak enoki mushrooms in boiling water, boil them with shredded winter melon, add a little salt, and serve. ”
Xing Ruyi handed the written diet prescription to Luo Fu, and then turned to the counter and took a cyan porcelain bottle from the top grid. On the porcelain vase, there is a piece of finely drawn paper with the words "cold incense pill" written on it.
"Cold incense pills? This bottle is fresh and elegant, and there seems to be a faint sense of arrogance. ”
"This cold incense pill is made by me according to the ancient recipe. 5 grams of pollen from white peony, white lotus, white hibiscus and white plum blossom were selected, and an appropriate amount of honey was added. Peony flowers, nourish the liver and blood, produce blood, cool blood, cure blood in the fire, remove heat; Hibiscus flowers, clear the lungs and cool the blood, dissipate heat and detoxify; Lotus, pure heart and invigorating qi; White plum blossom soothes the liver and relieves depression. The combined effect of these four flowers is beneficial to both the liver and the lungs. In the words of the doctors, the person's liver also plays an intrinsically decisive role in the complexion and radiance of the skin. In addition, this hibiscus pollen, the girl can be mixed with nectar alone, used to apply the face, internal and external adjustment, less than seven days, there will be an effect. ”
Luo Shi nodded, and the original anxiety on his face finally faded a lot.
After sending Luo Fu away, Xing Ruyi began to look at the shop opposite and worry, seeing that people were making money every day, she finally had a guest here, but it was introduced by Brother Chang. For the sake of Brother Chang's face, he can only sell and give away, tossing for a long time, but he earned money from selling a handful of melon seeds.
She couldn't let her sigh, and the fox's voice came from behind her.
"That Miss Luo's illness is not in the spleen, but in the heart and liver."
