Chapter 42
Xiangru stepped into the courtyard where she lived with a red lacquer carved box, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and some people ran out of the house to see the strangeness, Xiangru turned a blind eye, like a treasure, jumped through the yard and ran back to her house.
"I'm back, is there anyone to greet me? I'm back with a gift. ”
Tiandong and Mai Dong threw down the needle and thread in their hands, jumped up from the kang, and rushed over.
"Ah, what a beautiful box."
"Go make a pot of tea, we have to enjoy it, this is what the mother gave to Mrs. Xie, and she forwarded a box to me. I bet you've never had such a delicious treat. ”
"I'll go, I'll go." Mai Dong rushed out with the teapot, and after a while, he came back with a pot of hot tea, and the three of them sat in a circle, Tiandong and Mai Dong listened to Xiangru talk about the furnishings in the doctor's house, and Xiangru also seized the opportunity to take out the antifreeze cream that had been hidden for many days from her arms and shared it with them, and it was not comfortable to sleep in a porcelain jar on her chest at all.
"This is also given by Dr. Xie, saying that we are exposed to cold water every day, and we are afraid that we will get frostbite, but she doesn't have a new one on her hands, but fortunately, this one has only been used a few times, don't mind too much."
"No, no, no! Mrs. Xie is too merciful, Mai Dong looks, this is also from Peach Blossom Village, and it is the same as that lipstick. "Erdong will not mind the slightest bit, and he is busy taking the antifreeze paste and wiping it on his hands.
"Xiangru, Doctor Xie sent you this and that, it can be seen that she really likes you, if she wants to take you as an apprentice, you can do it, and other things will be talked about later." Tiandong Road.
"Well, I thought so too. I went to her room today to find out how beautiful she is as a doctor, and her bed is better than her aunt in charge. I said I had been to Aunt Yung's house before. Xiangru began to make some psychological foreshadowing for Erdong.
"Needless to say, how many people can't envy people's identities like that, and show them to those who are waiting to see the jokes, so that they don't have to eat grapes and say that grapes are sour." Mai Dong is also uneven for Xiangru.
"They are just idle, so they have the time to chew the root of other people's tongues, such a long tongue will definitely be plucked by Lord Yama to make oil to pluck the tongue and eat." Xiangru threw a roll of her eyes at the window, causing Erdong to laugh.
The three of them laughed and played for a while, and only halfway down the snack did they gradually stop, and continued to do their own needlework, and only then stepped out of the room at dinner.
During the meal, the people who sat at the same table with Xiangru couldn't help but be curious, Xiangru was blindly modest, only mentioning the kindness of the doctor and the liveliness and loveliness of madder, but Tiandong and Mai Dong were showing off the delicious snacks, and they couldn't say anything beautiful, only repeating again and again "delicious", "beautiful", "rare", "the kitchen can't do it" and so on.
But in the end, it was a reward snack from the doctor's wife, not to mention eating it by the girls in the backyard, no one had even seen it, and even the box was exquisite that had never been seen before. The more I listened, the more red my eyes became, and I said flattering words, but I cursed Xiangru and the three of them in my stomach.
Isn't it just that I used to be a cook, what's so great?
This is the voice of most of the people present except for Xiangru and the others.
Aunt Fang had already learned the news when Xiangru left Doctor Xie's house with a snack, and she didn't say anything at the time, until after dinner, more news reached her ears, which made her quite unhappy.
"Hell, Xie Lingzhi actually gave her a box of snacks, she likes her so much?" Aunt Fang sat at the head of the bed, looking unhappy.
"It must be like this, you know that those people in the kitchen never talk to the people in our pharmacy, we girls finally got some news, Xiangru's girl's cooking skills seem to be very good for Doctor Xie's appetite, someone once heard Madder tell her what to make dim sum sweet soup." Bai Wei sat at the end of the bed, with a brazier at her feet, drying clothes.
"What do you think? Will Xie Lingzhi take that girl as an apprentice? ”
"Needless to say? That girl is not stupid, who doesn't know that she will have a good life if she climbs to the doctor, not to mention that her age is within the limit. But ......"
"But what?"
"Auntie, did you forget? Doctor Xie is about to leave the palace in more than two years, even if she accepts Xiangru's girl, you have been in the pharmacy for so many years, have you seen an apprentice who left the school in more than two years? Bai Wei put away her clothes, raised her face and smiled proudly.
"Hahahahahahaha Aunt Fang turned her anger into joy, patted her thighs and laughed again and again, "I don't remember if you don't remind me, Xie Lingzhi is about to leave the palace, not to mention Xiangru's girl, she doesn't even have time to bring out madder." told her to be arrogant and slow to accept apprentices, but now she is embarrassed, she deserves it! ”
"So, auntie, let them be proud for a while. When Doctor Xie is gone, who else can take care of her? When the time comes, whether it will be round or flat, or will we have the final say? As long as she fails the test, she will still be an ordinary girl, and even if she is kicked out at that time, even the current aunt in charge will have nothing to say. ”
"Well, I'll send out this kindness. You go and arrange it, create more opportunities, she was bullied by us so badly, and then go to Xie Lingzhi to cry a few times, and this matter will probably be done. I can't wait to see Xie Lingzhi take on two apprentices. ”
"Yes, Auntie."
The next day, the three of Xiangru went to work as usual, and half-finished madder and pouted to bring sugar water to the three of them, looking unhappy with the boss, Xiangru and the three of them had a flattering smile on their faces, took the sugar water and drank it separately.
In such two days, "Madder doesn't like Xiangru" was seen by someone who cares and reported to Bai Wei, and Bai Wei then transferred it to Aunt Fang, and the two looked at each other, both of them with happy faces.
"Madder is still a child, she has been pampered since she followed Xie Lingzhi, children don't like their things to be forced to share with others, this girl is worth using."
"If the teacher and sister don't agree, it will definitely affect the homework, my aunt has a good idea, so when will we talk to her?"
"It's okay now, don't be in a hurry to make a move, first probe her tone, and find out whether Xie Lingzhi has the intention of receiving Xiangru, if so, let's provoke it again."
"Understood, I'll do it."
Another three or four days have passed, and in the past few days, Xiangru's work has inexplicably increased, in addition to completing routine work, she was also sent by Poria to do this and that, and only when it gets dark can she be idle.
Madder still sends sugar water to Xiangru and the three of them every morning to ward off the cold, but her face is getting more and more ugly day by day, and her attitude is getting more and more impatient day by day.
In the afternoon of this day, when Dr. Xie was called away by the imperial doctor, Madder took the dirty clothes she had saved for a few days to the pulp washing room, and when she came out, she was blocked by Bai Wei in the middle of the hospital as if she had a coincidence.
"Yo, isn't this Sister Madder, how is Doctor Xie lately?"
"Very good, thank you Miss Wei for your concern, how is Aunt Fang doing?" Madder has her signature sweet smile.
"It's all good, is Doctor Xie still reading in the house? I knew that among all the doctors, she worked the hardest. But on such a cold day, you should still be more active, and it is not good to hide in the house and bake the fire all the time. ”
"Well, the master has no other hobbies, just likes to read, but after the winter, there are always people looking for her outside, and she can't be idle, and now the time for reading has been greatly reduced."
"It's supposed to be busy with official business, I thought it was busy with personal affairs, recently I heard that the girl is very popular with her?"
"So what? It's just because I liked the sweet soup she made at the beginning, Sister Wei gave a comment, have you ever heard of such a condition for accepting apprentices? ”
"What does this mean? A little sparrow transferred from the kitchen is about to fly up the branches and become a phoenix? ”
"But isn't it, the master really likes it tightly, and he doesn't care whether she has talent or not, I persuaded it several times, but the master can't listen to it at all, and says that if he really has no talent, it's a big deal to recommend which lady to be an errand in the future, and it will not be in vain to love the master and apprentice."
"Ouch, in this way, I want to congratulate Sister Akane on becoming a senior sister."
"Sister Wei, don't scold me, I can hear it, you are making fun of me."
"Hey~, good sister, is my sister that kind of person, according to me, your master will accept it, she has nothing to do with you if she doesn't learn well, in the future, you will take the self-examination of Chinese medicine and return home, who really expects her to learn anything when she is a monk halfway? You are much better than her, Doctor Xie accepted her just for personal favors, how can she compare with you. Come on, laugh and show my sister, my good sister is not suitable for this angry appearance. ”
Madder tugged at the corners of her mouth, gave a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said goodbye to Bai Wei with a pout.
Soon after Madder returned to the house, Doctor Xie also returned, and when she passed downstairs, she knocked on Madder's door and asked her to bring a pot of hot tea.
Madder came upstairs with a tea tray, and when she entered the door, Doctor Xie had already changed her clothes and sat by the brazier to roast her hands.
The master and apprentice briefly said a few words, and Madder turned the topic to Bai Wei and told Doctor Xie about Bai Wei looking for her in the afternoon.
"Very good, she took the bait, which means that Aunt Fang also cares about us. Go on, let them see how much you hate Xiangru, they must be thinking about kicking her out after I leave the palace, they are sure that no one will pass the doctor's exam in two years. ”
"Master, I know what you mean, but if they really think so, it's not wrong, it's true that no one can pass the exam in two years, why are you so confident in Xiangru? Your faith has come from a strange place. ”
"Madder, you're still young, and you can't think of many things. Do you still remember the story that Xiangru told us when she came to drink tea that day, she had a stepmother, and she was busy from morning to night every day. ”
"Yes, I remember, but I still don't get it."
"Xiangru's father is Langzhong, she secretly learned a little bit of things in her hard work, and learned cooking under Aunt Rong after entering the palace, but the few recipes she taught Banxia showed that she knew more than she told us."
Madder was even more confused, and thought for a while before she said her opinion, "She didn't tell us the truth?" ”
"At least she's hiding something."
"Did the master find anything again?"
"Banxia once said that when Xiangru was teaching him the food formula, she also said a hundred pieces of juice, but this needs to get the hundred parts of this medicine first, she was worried that Banxia would not be able to get the medicine, so she didn't say it."
"I'm still a little confused, the master bullies people, I don't want to do it, I'll do whatever the master tells me to do." Madder still didn't understand what Doctor Xie meant, so she simply threw herself into her arms and coquettishly.
"Look at your worthless appearance. Forget it, when she enters my door, everything will be known slowly in the future, and it will be a long time to come. Doctor Xia patted Madder's back and coaxed her, but she secretly wondered in her heart, Xiangru is good at cooking and recognizing medicinal materials, and can also name so many food recipes, probably a food doctor's material, although I don't know how she learned these things, but it is finally a clear way.
The time to learn to be a disease doctor is too tight, if you can learn to be a food doctor under the Tai Yi family, you will not be afraid at all, with the Tai Yi as a backer, Aunt Fang will not dare to touch her no matter how much she hates her, and she can leave the palace at ease.
