Chapter 14

More than an hour later, Xiangru walked into Aunt Rong's room with a food box. Arrange the meal on the table, and respectfully invite Aunt Rong to serve it.

Aunt Rong looked at the dishes on the table, but she didn't have any appetite, she took a spoon and stirred it in the soup bowl in front of her, she didn't take a bite, her brows were deep, and she sighed.

"Auntie, but what's going on?" Xiangru took the initiative to offer comfort.

"Xiangru, you said that Aunt Xiao's appetite has improved recently, is it from our rice soup, or from the tonics?" Because Xiangru's idea worked, Aunt Rong has been talking to Xiangru in a much kinder tone recently, and she has the feeling that the elders have for the juniors.

"Of course it's made of rice soup, do you still need to think about it? The decoction can't be drunk on an empty stomach, it hurts the stomach, otherwise wouldn't it make Aunt Xiao's already bad stomach even worse? ”

"yes, why didn't I think of such a rebuttal? Bai let the woman taunt. Aunt Rong was remorseful and felt her own shortcomings.

"Aunt Fang is stealing credit from you again? That woman is so nasty. Forget it, aunt, don't think about this matter in the past, it's just that Aunt Fang is deliberately angry with you, knowing that you and Aunt Xiao don't understand medical theory, and deliberately said something specious, anyway, you can't go to the doctor to check. ”

"This slut, didn't you see her smiling so proudly at that time, I really want to tear her mouth apart!"

"What are you afraid of, tomorrow morning you will go and tell Aunt Xiao that the decoction cannot be drunk on an empty stomach, it is better to drink more rice soup, if you are tired of drinking white rice soup, we also have millet soup, it is all the same." Aunt Xiao is a sensible person, so she naturally knows that her appetite has improved, whether it is the credit of rice soup or tonic medicine. ”

"It makes sense, I'm going to say it like this tomorrow morning, and I'm going to say it in front of that woman, slap her hard, and tell her to talk nonsense today."

"That is, you can't always let Aunt Fang rely on her ability to bewitch people with half a bucket of water, what if it really makes people sick and skip meals and drink medicine."

"She has half a bucket of water? said that she only had a little water at the bottom of the bucket to lift her, probably those poor girls in the pharmacy would be bewitched by her like this, and she didn't have that ability for others, otherwise the doctor wouldn't have reminded Aunt Xiao to pay attention to her diet. ”

"By the way, my aunt asked Aunt Xiao if there was anything she wanted to eat today?"

"No, I was interrupted by the woman, and I didn't ask at all."

"Why don't you ask again tomorrow when breakfast is over, if you want to eat the porridge boiled in soup?" Now that it's cold, women lack kidney yang in winter, and they are prone to cold hands and feet, not to mention that Aunt Xiao is a patient, and the kitchen has to boil broth anyway, if she wants, let's take this soup to make porridge for her. ”

"But didn't you boil mutton soup last time, Aunt Xiao didn't eat a bite and returned it, will she eat it again now? In the past few days, all she has drunk is chicken soup with oil, why don't you just use chicken soup to make porridge for her? ”

"Didn't Aunt Xiao's appetite not improve last time, and if you ask her now, maybe she will change her mind? It doesn't hurt to ask more, it's okay to be busy in the kitchen, this is right, but why let Aunt Fang watch a joke in vain? ”

Xiangru knew too well, as long as she lifted Aunt Fang out, Aunt Rong would swallow back into her stomach if she had any other opinions, her self-esteem and pride would never allow her to be trampled under the feet of the biggest opponent in this life, and she would rather lose to someone else than to lose to her.

"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow, I can't keep letting that surnamed Fang steal the limelight."

"It's impossible for Aunt Fang to be arrogant all the time, no matter how much tonic medicine is taken in the palace, what will Aunt Xiao do after she leaves the palace? Where do you tell her to get all the tonic that is only available in the palace? Even if she had her, how much money would she have to eat, how long would she be able to eat? To be honest, Aunt Xiao will still have to rely on food supplements in the future, and medicine supplements will not last long, and it will cost money in vain, and besides, medicine is poisonous, and medical apprentices understand the truth. ”

Xiangru pushed the soup bowl, "Auntie, drink the soup quickly, it's going to be cold." ”

Aunt Rong didn't take the soup, but suddenly raised her face to look at Xiangru, Xiangru didn't know why, touched her face, very dazed.

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

"What did you just say? Say it again! ”

"It's a medicine that is three parts poison."

"Not this, the previous sentence."

"Aunt Xiao will still have to rely on food supplements in the future, and medicine supplements will not last long, and it will cost money."

"Yes, that's it, medicine supplements can't replace food supplements, where does the old palace maid who leaves the palace have the money to rely on tonic medicine every day, and really think that there will be a squire and a rich man invited to the family as a teaching chair? Don't dream, that's just coaxing her, the palace maid of the medical hall, she knows the rules of a fart. ”

Aunt Rong's self-talk, Xiangru heard it clearly, but she smartly pretended not to hear, remained silent, took another bowl and filled half a bowl of soup, replaced the previous bowl that was already a little cold, and put it in front of Aunt Rong.

"Auntie, drink some soup, have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow she will thwart her spirit in one fell swoop, so that she dares to be arrogant in front of you again. If she wants to say something unpleasant tomorrow, you can call the doctor to judge and see who is more reasonable. Who knows if her tonic has ever passed the doctor's eye? In case ......"

"You're trying to say that she might have lied to us? Take some herbs that I don't know where to get them and give them to Aunt Xiao in the name of the doctor's instructions? Aunt Rong understood the meaning of Xiangru's words.

"Auntie, don't you think it's suspicious?"

"No, she said before that the tonic prescription was prescribed by the doctor."

"Aunt Fang just said that, and no one verified it, who knows if it was casually said to coax you and Aunt Xiao."

"She's not going to do that, is she?"

"Auntie, Aunt Fang regards you as her biggest opponent, this is her tactic, the truth is unclear, what she is sure of is that no one will really confront Doctor Xie. Otherwise, tomorrow you will humbly say that you will go back and consult the doctor, and see how to arrange the diet in order to cooperate with those tonics, so as not to affect Aunt Xiao's health care due to poor kitchen service. ”

"Shall I really ask?"

"You act at the opportunity, I think, no matter what, the posture is to be done, take a good look at Aunt Fang's performance, and see the move. If she is really so generous and asks you to talk to the doctor in detail, you can also be polite to her, just go generously and ask the doctor seriously, thinking that Aunt Xiao is the reason for her concern, and you are afraid that Aunt Fang will turn around and eat you? Besides, with what you know about her, is she really that generous? ”

"How is that possible? The woman was so stingy, the doctors were all from the pharmacy, and after so many years, she had long regarded the pharmacy as her private territory, and it was impossible for outsiders to get too close to her. This is a good solution, ouch I should have thought earlier, I really suffered her anger for so many days in vain. Xiangru, good, I haven't been with me for so long in vain, I usually can't see it, but at this critical moment, you are still the most intimate. Aunt Rong was coaxed to be happy, and patted Xiangru's face with a smile.

"This is also my aunt's usual careful training, Xiangru can have today, it is all the blessing of my aunt, so I naturally have to repay my aunt well." Xiangru's mouth is sweeter.

"Hehe, good."

"Auntie, let's eat, it's almost cold."

Xiangru urged again, and Aunt Rong finally picked up the chopsticks to eat with peace of mind.

More than an hour later, Xiangru came back with supper, and waited for Aunt Rong to rest with Lilac, Xiangru went straight back to the house, and Lilac did the final cooking in the kitchen.

After washing, Xiangru put down the bed tent and slept peacefully.

Sleeping until midnight, I don't know what time it was, Xiangru woke up from her dream, lay on the bed for a while, sat up leisurely, got dressed, got out of bed in the dark and came to the table under the window, felt the flint on the table and lit the candles.

The room suddenly became bright.

The change in the accommodation environment has allowed Xiangru to no longer have to sit outside against the cold north wind in winter to sew clothes for Aunt Rong as before, and now the roommates who sleep with her can still sleep peacefully in the bed tent without being disturbed by the candlelight.

In order not to avoid the cold, Xiangru put on a few cotton jackets, and then took the sewing basket at the head of the bed, sat at the table and continued to hem the soles of the shoes.

By the time she got up at the beginning of the day, Xiangru had already sewed two of them, and the third one was about to be completed. Seeing that there was no time to finish the needlework on her hands, Xiangru packed up her things, went outside to boil water to wash her face, and woke up Chef Li and the three of them to get up.

The morning was as busy as ever, Aunt Rong went to bring breakfast to Aunt Xiao, and everyone in the kitchen was busy preparing lunch after today's ingredients were delivered.

Xiangru saw that some of the sauces were running out, so she immediately chased out of the kitchen, called Banxia and his companions at the small door to explain, Banxia listened carefully in her ears, repeated it again, and promised to bring it tomorrow.

Xiangru turned around and was about to leave after explaining, but was stopped by Banxia again.

"The recipe that my aunt taught me last time is very effective, and the people in our house are almost good, but I don't know what the name of that recipe is, so I can teach it to others."

"That's called ginger candy drink, but if you are very sick, it is better to ask the doctor as soon as possible to take a look, the medical skills of the doctors of the hospital are much better than our doctors."

Banxia and his companion glanced at each other, touched their heads, and smiled a little awkwardly, "With our identity, those medical officers are impatient to see us." ”

Xiangru opened her mouth and was stunned for two seconds, then understood, and sighed secretly in her heart.

"Auntie, if I ask my aunt again, I wonder if my aunt will have some other prescriptions for cold and cough? I'm afraid that if there is no caramel in the kitchen, I won't be able to make ginger caramel drinks. ”

"Fang Zi is yes, what is your relationship with the cook? I have a candied radish and pear here, the method is more particular, and the raw materials are all seasonal food, there should be no shortage in the kitchen, right? ”

"I have a familiar cook, please let my aunt know me in detail."

"One white radish, one pear, ten dollars of honey, and seven white pepper seeds. Wash and chop the radishes and pears and put them in a bowl, pour in the honey, add the white pepper, put them in a pot and steam them. Pick out the pepper seeds and warm the rest of the soup twice. This is perfect for a snack between meals. If you have perilla and almonds in the kitchen, you can make perilla porridge and almond porridge for breakfast and dinner, and remember that the almonds should be peeled and tipped. There is also a hundred pieces of juice that need to be obtained from the pharmacy to make a hundred parts, which is relatively troublesome, so forget about this. ”

Xiangru repeated it every time she said Banxia, and after saying this, the two little eunuchs looked at Xiangru with great reverence with the eyes of an idol, "It's worthy of being an aunt, I know a lot, and I'm not afraid of the wind and cold this winter." ”

"These can't be used as medicine, if you are really sick, you still have to go to the medical officer, anyway, they are all sick and confused, and they can't see their stinky faces. Okay, you've been out long enough, go back quickly, I'm going to do things too. ”

"Auntie, you're busy, I'll bring you sauce tomorrow." Banxia's face turned into a flower, and he and his companions pushed the cart and hurried away.

Xiangru went back to the kitchen to continue her work, and no one noticed that she had just explained something and why it had taken so long.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Aunt Rong entered the door with the front foot of the food box, and Aunt Fang also followed, while watching Aunt Xiao have a good appetite to drink rice soup and eat white porridge and eat dim sum, she took the credit to herself.

Of course, Aunt Rong couldn't watch Aunt Fang continue to be arrogant, she followed the trick of Xiangru yesterday, which made Aunt Fang's heart burst into flames, but she didn't understand why Aunt Rong became sharp this morning.

Especially when Aunt Rong asked if the tonic she got from the Tai Hospital had passed through Doctor Xie's hands, Aunt Fang's heart trembled.

In so many days, Doctor Xie has only prescribed a tonic prescription for wind and cold, and the other tonic medicines have indeed not passed the hands of Doctor Xie, it is she who is good at making claims, taking Aunt Xiao's prescription and spending some money to privately ask the intern medical officer of Tai Hospital to prescribe the supplement, in addition to taking the medicine from the small pharmacy, she also spent money to ask the father-in-law of the big pharmacy to catch the medicine, and these tonics were directly handed over to Yu Gui.

She knew that Doctor Xie had only come to see Aunt Xiao for a few days to do some simple check-ups, and every time she would watch from the side, Aunt Xiao was not a person who could talk nonsense, but Doctor Xie still didn't know that she had gotten tonic medicine from the pharmacy of Tai Hospital.

Although I don't know what Aunt Rong's question is, it has already made Aunt Fang feel frightened for a while, because this matter can be regarded as an arrogance, that is, beyond the affairs of this branch.

She is the pharmacy aunt of the women's medical hall, and she does not have the right to take medicine from the pharmacy of Tai Hospital with a prescription, and Aunt Xiao is the person who is about to leave the palace, once someone settles accounts with this pigtail in the future, no one will save her. At that time, I was eager to work and didn't think about it so much, but now that I was reminded by Aunt Rong, I immediately felt that my original actions were indeed inappropriate.

However, Aunt Fang was an old man who had been on an errand for a long time, and she was surprised in her heart, her face was still full of smiles, and there was not a trace of wrinkles, so she brought it over with the reason that the doctor knew about it.

It's also a shame that Aunt Rong is feeding Aunt Xiao breakfast, and all her thoughts are on Aunt Xiao, and her energy to deal with Aunt Fang is limited, so she didn't ask any questions, otherwise if she said a few more words, Aunt Fang would inevitably show her feet.

It's a pity that a great opportunity was so inadvertently let go by Aunt Rong.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
