Chapter 50 Gift of Medicine
It's late today, forgive me~ It's finally not broken ^^)
Mrs. Wei hurriedly accepted the gift with both hands, helped Sanniang to get up, and said with a smile: "Good boy, get up quickly." ”
Sanniang said again: "It should have been the juniors waiting for you, but I didn't want to let you wait, please forgive me for the rudeness." ”
When Mrs. Wei heard this, she repeated what Mama Tang had just said.
Mama Tang also interjected with a smile on the side: "The slave maid has said that it is our wife who arrived early, but the third lady is still so polite." ”
Mrs. Wei was very happy to see Sanniang and Wang Jing knowing the courtesy, and let her two children in front of her and said: "This is the fifth young master and the third young lady of the Qingcheng Wang family, who are the same age as you, and should be close and close." ”
Four young men of similar age greeted each other.
Wei Mian, the son of Wei, said with a smile: "It seems that I am the eldest among several of us, and I am afraid that I will bear the name of my brother in vain." ”
Sanniang and Wang Jing shouted with a smile: "Brother Wei." ”
Mrs. Wei was also happy to see them close, and said with a smile: "You are both juniors, and you are well-mannered, and I, as an elder, must prepare a thin gift to save face." As he spoke, he beckoned to a girl behind him.
A delicate girl in pink clothes stepped forward with a small tray, and Mrs. Wei picked up a pair of unicorn gold locks on the tray and handed them to Sanniang and Wang Jing one by one.
Sanniang hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted it, Wang Jing accepted it when she saw this, and the two of them thanked Mrs. Wei together.
Mrs. Wei nodded with satisfaction, "Good boy." ”
Wei Mian sighed and said, "Since you call me brother, I guess this greeting gift can't be escaped." Anyway, I just got a few great wolf hairs from my cousin a while ago. I'll give you one for each later. ”
"Saying it so reluctantly, where can you have the bearing to be a brother? Our family is missing those pens? Mrs. Wei said angrily.
Young Master Wei was happy and was busy begging for mercy.
A few people stood and laughed a few more words.
Sanniang noticed Miss Wei, although she had been listening with a smile on her face, she had not spoken except for reporting her name when she began to greet her. At this time, when I looked at her again, my face became more and more innocent, and my smile was a little reluctant.
Mrs. Wei noticed that Sanniang's gaze was also looking at her daughter, and then frowned and worried: "After resting for so long, you still can't see it?" What can I do? Today is still a day's journey. ”
"Miss Wei, is this?" Sanniang asked.
"The young lady has been weak since she was a child, and she can't stand the fatigue of the journey. The last time I came to Jinan, I was on the road, I couldn't eat anything, I vomited as soon as I entered it, and we walked for three days on the two-day journey. I don't want to be like this on the return trip today, so I've only walked a long way, alas! I'm afraid I'm going to suffer another sin. Mama Tang sighed.
Hearing this, Sanniang looked at Miss Wei a few times, combined with what Mama Tang said, this Miss Wei should be motion sickness.
Sanniang pondered for a moment, and saw that Mama Zhang took Bai Zhi to the carriage to check the things on the car, so she asked Bai Yingdao on the side: "I remember that Mama Zhao should have prepared Puji Pills, do you know who took it?" ”
When I went back to Qingming Temple, because it was the first time I went out, out of curiosity, Sanniang looked at Mama Zhao's preparation list, which included some medicines, and Puji Pill was one of them.
Sanniang saw that the name was strange, so she asked a few more questions. I heard Bai Ying say that this Puji pill is made of hook vine, chrysanthemum, tribulus terrestris, magnolia, wood incense, atractylodes, smallpox pollen, patchouli, poria cocos and other more than a dozen flavor medicines, which can treat diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, gastrointestinal discomfort, cold, fever and headache.
Sanniang remembered that this Puji Pill was similar to the Po Chai Pill she had seen in her previous life, both in terms of formula and function. She also suffered from motion sickness in her previous life, and this Po Chai pill is a regular thing. Looking at this effect, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a must-have thing for home travel outside the home.
Bai Ying hurriedly responded, "Yes, Miss." The medicines prepared by Mama Zhao were all collected by slaves. ”
Sanniang nodded and said, "You go and get it, Miss Wei may use it." ”
When Mrs. Wei heard this, she looked at her inquiringly.
Sanniang smiled and said: "This medicine is commonly used at home, I heard that grandma said that it can cure nausea and vomiting, gastrointestinal discomfort, motion sickness and seasickness." And because the formula is mild, it can not only cure diseases but also prevent them, and eating some is okay for the body. Sanniang was afraid that Mrs. Wei would not believe it, so she told the formula of the medicine again.
Bai Ying glanced at Sanniang, and stopped talking a little. Sanniang was a little puzzled when she saw this, and wanted to ask Bai Ying what was wrong, but Bai Ying hesitated for a while but didn't say anything and turned around and went to the carriage.
When Mama Tang on the side heard this, she said to Mrs. Wei: "The Wang family's Puji Pill slave maid has heard of it, and I heard that there are some origins. The successive heads of the Wang family are willing to give, once there was a family head who accidentally rescued a family who fled from the south, and the family gave the head of the Wang family a prescription in order to repay the life-saving grace of the head of the Wang family. It turned out that the family of this desert escaper had been a doctor for generations, and the ancestor was still a highly regarded miracle doctor. The descendants of the divine doctor said that according to this recipe, the pills can be used to treat a variety of diseases, and the head of the Wang family already had some problems with spleen and stomach discomfort, and he often ate the pills prepared by this and gradually improved. This medicine is the Puji Pill that Miss Wang San said. ”
Mrs. Wei was careful, she just saw Bai Ying's desire to speak and stopped, at this time, she heard Mama Tang talk about the origin of this pill, she understood a little, looked at Sanniang and said gratefully: "From this point of view, this prescription is extremely precious, but the third lady told us like this, so trusting...... Third Miss, rest assured, we will not leak out this recipe. ”
Sanniang was stunned, she forgot that the ancients had always been very precious about secret recipes and other things, and they would not easily pass it on. In modern times, Po Chai pills are a very common over-the-counter medicine, and Bai Ying did not hesitate when she asked Bai Ying at that time, but told her very casually, and she didn't think about it so much. Now it seems that few people know about this formula.
Even so, Sanniang didn't feel annoyed. The role of medicine is to cure diseases and save people, naturally the more people know, the better, what is the Puji pill called when it is hidden and pinched and only used by a few people? Much of the world's precious intangible cultural heritage has been lost because of this narrow way of transmission.
Sanniang smiled: "If Miss Wei eats well, it will be considered my merit." ”
In Mrs. Wei's heart, she was even more convinced that this third lady was honest and benevolent.
"Yunying, she is half a year younger than you, you can call her name, but don't Miss Wei Miss Wei's shouting." Mrs. Wei took Sanniang's hand and said.
Wei Yunying saw her mother looking at her, thought about it, and endured the discomfort and stepped forward and shouted, "Sister Ke." ”
Sanniang also replied with a smile: "Sister Yunying." ”
Over there, Bai Ying had already brought the medicine bottle, Sanniang took it, and handed it to Mama Tang beside Mrs. Wei, and Tang Momo hurriedly stepped forward to take it.
"Three times a day, one pill each time, let Sister Yunying and water take one pill first." Sanniang said, because she caught a glimpse of Bai Ying holding a paper bag in her hand, she asked, "This is?" ”
Bai Ying bowed down and said, "Miss Hui, this is hawthorn cake." The slave thought that maybe she could let Miss Wei press her stomach, maybe she could be more comfortable. ”
Sanniang smiled and nodded: "It's better for you to be careful, take it to Mama Tang." ”
Bai Ying handed the paper bag in her hand to Mama Tang.
Mrs. Wei waited for Wei Yunying to finish taking the medicine, turned her head to look at Bai Ying, and said with a smile: "Third Miss Hui is Lanxin, I don't want the girls around me to be so considerate, the Wang family really deserves to be a family for hundreds of years." ”
Sanniang was busy and humbly gave a few words.
Everyone rested for a while, Wang Jing and Wei Mian had been chatting for a while, and Sanniang was also happy to see Wang Jing get to know more boys of the same age. Although Wei Mian's father, Lord Wei, is only a prefect of the fourth grade, the Wei family is a big family, and there have been many high-ranking officials in the past dynasties, and Mrs. Wei Zheng heard that she was also from a famous family.
"It's not too early, let's go, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Licheng before sunset if it's been delayed for too long." Mrs. Wei Zheng looked at the sky and said.
"Sister Yunying, is she better? If you're still not comfortable, it's okay to take a break. ”
Wei Yunying said a little shyly: "I've gotten a lot better, and the hawthorn cake my sister gave is very useful." Yun Ying doesn't want to vomit anymore. Let's hurry early, if it drags down the trip like the last time, I'm afraid that some of them will be in the farmhouse at night, which is very inconvenient. ”
Sanniang looked at Wei Yunying's face and saw that she was really much better, but her face was a little sallow, thinking that her original skin color was like this.
Sanniang smiled and nodded: "Since this is the case, let me listen to your arrangement, madam." ”
Zheng asked Mama Tang to pass the order, and here Zheng also took Sanniang and others to the carriage.
Sanniang couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw that the guards with knives were greeted by a man about forty years old who looked to be the leader, and they scattered and got on their horses in an orderly manner. It's always strange for a woman to have so many guards with knives around in such a social environment.
Zheng noticed Sanniang's gaze, thought for a while, and suddenly confessed: "Look at me, I forgot that the third miss is a young lady from the Wang family, but I forgot to let these reckless men avoid it, and it was rude, the third miss is not to blame." ”
Sanniang shook her head and said, "When you go out, it is naturally cheap, and Mrs. doesn't have to mind." ”
Zheng Shi smiled when he heard this, and the smile somehow was a little hearty: "The third lady is really different, I grew up in the army when I was a child, and I had a lot of dealings with the soldiers, although I later went back to my grandmother to raise me for a few years and learned some boudoir rules, some details are not meticulous enough after all." ”
Sanniang was shocked when she heard this, she only heard that the Zheng family was from a famous family, but she didn't know that it was the queen of the gate.
"Mother, can you ask Sister Ke to ride in a carriage with us?" Wei Yunying suddenly pleaded with Zheng.
Sanniang looked at this little girl who was always a little shy and a little shy and completely different from her mother's temperament, and was a little surprised. Some of them were embarrassed and pleading when they received her, and some understood that she might be afraid of motion sickness, and wanted to find someone to chat to divert their attention.
Therefore, when Zheng looked at it inquiringly, Sanniang responded very happily.
