Chapter 206: Safflower Wine (10)

"This is safflower?" Honghua stood aside, watching Xing Ruyi put some red flowers into the wine jar, and then shook it evenly a few times, and couldn't help but be a little curious in her heart. "Isn't this wine already brewed? When Li Nan came, Lulu and I were not far away, and I heard what the girl said to him, could it be that this safflower wine is different from what the girl said before? ”

"It's just safflower wine, what's different." Xing Ruyi glanced at the wine jar and winked mischievously at Honghua: "If I said that I was biased towards Li Nan at the time, would Sister Honghua be angry?" ”

"How so? Honghua is just the next cousin of their Li family, even if she is not, she is not qualified to be angry with a girl in the future. To be honest, when life is the hardest, I selfishly hope that someone can help me out of my anger. But I was born with a bit of cowardice, since I was a child, my father taught me to be kind to others, and after marrying into my mother-in-law's family, I must listen to my husband and mother-in-law, and be a respectful and filial daughter-in-law. ”

"Respectful and filial piety is right, but also to divide people, if you meet the kind of husband who knows the cold and the hot, and knows the mother-in-law who compares the heart to the heart, it is natural to be respectful and filial, after all, the family and everything is prosperous, who doesn't want their own small life to be harmonious and beautiful. But if you meet someone like your ex-mother-in-law who relies on the old and sells the old, and deliberately makes things difficult everywhere, I think I should give her some color to see, so that she can also know that there are people in this world who are more powerful than her. ”

"It would be nice if Honghua was as powerful as the Ruyi girl, but it's a pity that it's too late to wake up now. But Miss Ruyi doesn't have to worry, I see that the boy is very good to the girl. ”

"He dares to treat me badly!" Xing Ruyi wrinkled his nose: "I'm not a virtuous lady like you Sheng Tang who has learned the three outlines and five constants, three from the four virtues since childhood, my principles are: one, you don't offend me, I don't offend you two, you treat me well, I treat you ten points better, you respect me one foot, I will return to you." But if you want to bully me, I'm sorry, even if this girl is playing with her life, she will lose a thousand for you eight hundred! ”

"These views of Miss Ruyi are so special!"

"Not only do I have a special opinion, but my safflower wine is even more special." Xing Ruyi said, shaking the safflower wine in his hand: "In fact, making this safflower wine is very simple, take 200 grams of grass safflower, 1000 ml of low-alcohol liquor, add an appropriate amount of brown sugar, wash the safflower, dry the surface moisture, put it into a clean gauze bag with brown sugar, seal the mouth of the bag, put it in the wine jar, cover and seal, soak it for seven days and drink. This safflower wine has the effect of nourishing blood and skin, invigorating blood and menstruation, and is suitable for women's blood deficiency, blood stasis, dysmenorrhea, etc., but pregnant women cannot drink it. ”

"But I just saw the girl, you didn't put those saffron in the gauze bag!"

"That's because this jar of safflower wine is for your ex-mother-in-law, so naturally you don't have to be so particular about the method, and I still have the last important thing I haven't put in."

"Something important?" Honghua looked at Xing Ruyi suspiciously, and asked, "What is it?" ”

"I'm going to take your kindness, your virtuousness, your respect, your pain, and your resentment, and put them together in this safflower wine!"

Honghua looked at Xing Ruyi in a daze, thinking that she was joking, but looking at her expression, it was very serious. So, with a faint smile, he straightened up and said, "But whatever the safflower has on it, the Ruyi girl can take it!" ”

"Don't worry, you won't feel anything!" Xing Ruyi said, his eyes condensed into ice, and his whole body exuded a strong aura because of the ghost magic. Her hands quickly pulled a few traces of different colors from the forehead, the top of her head, her heart, and the soles of her feet, and then gathered them together and put them in the wine jar.

Looking through the thick wine jar, Xing Ruyi could clearly see that those breaths were mixed with the saffron, and the saffron was quickly crushed. The dark red petals are integrated into the liquor, so that the liquor also becomes the same color as the safflower, and the air is gradually filled with the unique aroma of medicinal liquor.

"It's done!" Xing Ruyi packed the prepared safflower wine, then lifted the curtain and called the bell over: "You take this wine to my rouge shop and give it to your brother Li Mao, so that he can send it to Li Nan tomorrow afternoon." ”

"Isn't Aunt Ruyi going back today?"

"If you don't go back, my aunt will stay here to accompany you and Siniang, okay?"

"My aunt coaxes people, so I don't want to accompany the bell and sister-in-law." Bell stuck out her tongue playfully: "Although Bell can't see it, Yin Yuan said that in this house, in addition to Aunt and Bell's future uncle, there is also an Aunt Honghua and a sister named Lulu." Aunt Ruyi, you stayed for them, right? ”

"Little clever ghost, I can't hide anything from you!" Xing Ruyi nodded the forehead of the bell: "Go quickly!" After sending the safflower wine, let Aunt Lu make you some delicious snacks and bring them back. Look, after this winter, my little bell has not gained weight, but has lost a lot of weight. ”

"Bell, it's not thin, it's slim!" The bell blushed slightly: "Sister-in-law said, although we have a plump beauty here, a slender one like Aunt Ruyi is also quite likable." So Bell plans to look up to his aunt, and when he grows up in the future, he will become like his aunt and you. ”

"Don't! But don't! Aunt Ruyi's appearance is not the mainstream beauty model of our Tang Dynasty. The reason why he is so willful to make himself thin is because of his physique, no matter how he eats, he can't get fat, and secondly, because his aunt has already found a good home, and your future uncle is not a picky eater, so whether he is fat or thin, it makes no difference in his eyes. What about you, dare you say that your future husband doesn't mind either? ”

"In this world, Uncle Ruyi is not the only one who is excellent." The bell muttered quietly, picked up the jar, and ran out.

Xing Ruyi lightly touched Siniang and asked, "Bell, is this someone who sees the right eye?" ”

"A young man, always coming to her, looks beautiful, but I don't know it's the young master of that family." Siniang said, and also sighed: "Although the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, but after all, she is not a mother, this bell is getting bigger, and she has some worries, but she is unwilling to talk to me as a sister-in-law." Right now, she calls you aunt, and in the future, you still have to come forward to help me. ”

"I think I know who that boy is."

Xing Ruyi nodded his chin, and the appearance of a small toad appeared in his mind. It seems that the toad essence is interested in the bell, but this marriage, will she dismantle it or not? Xing Ruyi was a little undecided, and decided to wait until he came back from Qingqiu.

After the safflower wine is prepared, all that remains is to ask someone to move the remains of the safflower mother and daughter out, as for where to bury them, it still needs to be said. The matter of relocating the remains needs to be reported to the government, and since the government knows about it, then there is no need to worry about the follow-up matters.

Since the death of Honghua's mother and daughter, Li Nanniang has never slept soundly like tonight.

At this time, it was midnight, and there was a dead silence around me. A ray of moonlight, through the window paper, fell on Li Nanniang's bed quilt made of brocade. On the table not far from the bed, there was still the safflower wine that Li Nan had just brought back in the afternoon.

She took a drink and felt that the entrance was okay. In the medicinal wine, there is not only the spicy taste of white wine, but also the unique fragrance of flowers, when the wine slowly slides down the throat, it brings a trace of warmth, and then the whole body also becomes warmer, as if the stiff joints are revived. Li Nanniang hadn't felt so relaxed for a long time, she felt as if she was back to her youth, so she also raised the corners of her mouth slightly in her sleep.

There was wind, and it drilled through the cracks in the windows. Li Nanniang rolled over, her eyelids moved slightly, and then closed her eyes tightly.

Just when she was sleeping hazy, a cool breeze suddenly rushed from the corner of the quilt into her back, and a spirit, she woke up.

She stood up and looked out, and the door to the bedroom was wide open, and it was from where the wind was blowing. Just when she was puzzled, she suddenly found a person standing outside the door!

The silver-white moonlight spread in the dark courtyard outside the door, and the man happened to be standing in the middle. The man was wearing a black robe that was out of harmony with himself, and stood at the door of the bedroom in a daze. The moonlight made his skin look as white as snow, lifeless, and a pair of black eyes stared straight at him!

"Who are you?" Li Nanniang plucked up the courage to ask, groped and put on her coat, squinting and looking carefully.

The man stared at her, not speaking.

Li Nanniang felt her scalp tingle, but she still insisted on asking again: "Who are you?" I can tell you, my son is the future champion and official! ”

The man still didn't say anything.

"If you don't talk again, I'll call someone!" Li Nanniang was anxious and afraid. She kept calling her son's name in her heart: "Li Nan, Li Nan, why don't you get up yet?" There's a thief in our yard! ”

"It's time for you to get up!" The man finally spoke, although his voice was stiff, but it fell on Li Nanniang's ears, and it was a little familiar.

She squinted vigorously, trying to get a better look at the man. But suddenly the courtyard became empty, and there was nothing left.

She was just about to rub her eyes and continue searching, when the voice of her deceased mother-in-law came to her ears.

"Da Kui's family, why are you still asleep, and you don't look at when it's here. I can tell you, after dawn, Da Kui has to do work, this hot soup and hot noodles, if you can't serve it, see if I don't ask Da Kui to clean you up! ”

Li Nanniang was in a trance. This voice is the mother-in-law's, yes, but the tone of the voice is not quite the same. Li Nan's father is named Li Kui, but his mother-in-law is used to calling him Da Kui. Since she entered the door, no one has called the name in this boudoir. The mother-in-law called her Da Kui's family, and outsiders either called her Da Kui's sister-in-law, or Da Kui's daughter-in-law, and later, they simply called her Li Nanniang. Even she was about to forget what her original name was.

My mother-in-law is a kind person, although the family is a little poor, but since she entered the door, if there is something delicious and useful, she will come first. Slowly, her temperament has also changed, and she always feels that the good things in this house should be her own. After all, this Li family is poor, she is willing to marry Da Kui as a daughter-in-law, and gave birth to a son to their Li family, which can already be regarded as the Li family's ancestral tomb burning high incense.

Da Kui died unexpectedly while going out to work, and after that, her life became more and more difficult, and her mother-in-law became more and more bad. But the mother-in-law never seemed to say anything. Until the day he died, he took out his half-new clothes and bedding and asked her to pawn the silver. And then, what happened?

Li Nanniang recalled carefully, as if she took those things, and went to the pawnshop with a muttering mouth. Because the things are worn, there is not much money that comes out of the pawn. When I got home, I saw my mother-in-law who had already swallowed her breath, and there were two shriveled steamed buns in her arms that had not been eaten. But at that time, she didn't feel distressed at all, she only felt that the silver she had just pawned was going to be gone.

In order to save, she ordered a very small and thin coffin and hastily handled her mother-in-law's funeral. At that time, I was very glad in my heart, because my mother-in-law couldn't eat enough for a long time, and she was only a little thin, and the small coffin containing her was actually loose. Originally, these things had been sealed in the depths of her memory, but she thought about it inexplicably tonight, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Li Nanniang touched the moist corners of her eyes and spat at the yard, "Phew! People are dead, their bones are turned into slag, and they come to scare the old lady! When you are alive, it is the old lady who has the final say, and it is your turn to be arrogant when you die? Phew! ”

As soon as the word came out, Li Nanniang was slapped from the bed to the ground.
