Chapter 102: Food Restraint
When Ansheng returned home, he immediately went to the old lady's courtyard to greet him, as was customary in these days.
Because she was afraid of the old lady's strict tutoring, she came back early these days, and when she came back, she went to the old lady's yard to say goodbye, no longer getting up early and greedy for darkness like before, so as not to be taken by people with a heart to talk about things again.
Today, the Xue family was talking with the old lady, and Xue Xiuliang was also in front of him.
And Changjing was guarding the door, hanging her head, and her eyes sneaked a glance at Xue Xiuliang from time to time.
I have to say that Xue Xiuliang is serious, and he still has a bit of a charm when he fades away from his flowing appearance.
An Sheng asked An, but did not leave immediately, and was left by the old lady to speak.
Xue continued to praise Xue Xiuliang: "This kid has the most clever brain, not as pedantic as other scholars, his father thought that if he was an honest businessman, he would definitely be able to develop with his connections and activities." But I thought that doing business may be a good life, and I have a lot of work at hand, but when I say it, it is always better to enter the scenery and glorify my ancestors. So I was thinking about finding him a serious official to eat the emperor's food. ”
The old lady lowered her head and drank tea, ignoring Xue's words. An Zheng lowered his head and was embroidering on the side, needles and threads, meticulous.
At her feet lay a snow-white, long-haired puppy, lazily closing its eyes. An Sheng is the first time I have seen it, I don't know if he came from the big house?
Xue Shi secretly glanced at Xue Xiuliang.
Xue Xiuliang coughed lightly and said: "Uncle also advised Xiuliang that you need to be down-to-earth in doing things, and you can't be too ambitious, so you don't dare to be picky, and you just want to be self-reliant." What the elders can give is just an opportunity, if you want to be beautiful, you still have to rely on your own diligence. ”
"Look at what this kid said, it's a lot of reason." The old lady gently put down the teacup in her hand: "If the children and grandchildren in the big house think like this, I will be relieved." One by one, they pick the fat and pick the thin, and they blame the bias, and it is difficult to serve. ”
"That's because the eldest brother has the ability to help accommodate the errand. Any little brother picks the rest, if my family can have this blessing, we will be Amitabha. ”
When An Sheng heard this, he immediately understood the Xue family's intention. Xia Yuanwai refused to help Xue Xiuliang touch the official errand again, and the Xue family walked the back door to the old lady. I just don't know, the old lady has a good eye for gold, will she be blinded by Xue Xiuliang's appearance?
The old lady only smiled, and did not answer, but directly changed the topic: "I heard that you have been helping this child say goodbye these days?" ”
Xue Shi was stunned, and Xue Xiuliang's peach blossom eyes immediately turned around Changjing at the door, and then jumped onto An Zheng's body.
"A few days ago, there were many matchmakers vying to say goodbye to Xiuliang, but this kid had a high vision and couldn't look down on any of them. I don't have to start a business first and then start a family, and I don't want to delay others if I don't do anything. I think that I am indeed in Li'er, if he has a chance, he can also find a good girl's home. But his father was in a hurry, and he was still hesitating. ”
An Sheng secretly glanced at Changjing again, Changjing was obviously emaciated, and her face looked a little haggard.
"It's almost settled, is it difficult for us to expect to climb high and touch the light of other women?" The old lady said.
An Sheng heard the meaning from the old lady's words, and it seemed that he didn't like Xue Xiuliang very much.
The Xue family only responded, and the old lady changed the topic and stopped talking about Xue Xiuliang.
"What did my sister learn in the medicine house today?"
An Sheng got up: "Back to my grandmother, today is the opening of the pharmacy, ushering in the delivery, especially busy, and I have seen a lot." ”
"Since there are so many patients in the cold god doctor, why don't you practice medical consultation every day? It's also good to earn a little more money for consultations. An Zheng couldn't help but raise his face and ask curiously.
"Master said that there is no end to learning, he is still young, his medical skills are still shallow, and he needs to keep learning to be able to progress, and he can also create more people in the world in the future. If you are busy seeing a doctor every day, although your knowledge is broad, it is tantamount to resting on your laurels. As for the consultation fee, my master never cares, how much is arbitrary, and those who are short can also take it for temporary use. ”
One question and one answer, completely put Xue and Xue Xiuliang aside.
"There's some truth to that." An Zheng lowered his head and continued to embroider: "Don't you feel bored? ”
An Sheng shook his head: "Studying medicine is the same as embroidery, embroidery is boring, but there is a sense of achievement." Seeing the patient recover, I feel relieved. ”
"This is the so-called good hand and benevolence, and it needs to be the best heart."
The old lady also nodded approvingly, and quipped: "I look forward to our Xia family also having a goddess doctor, and my grandmother will also have a glorious face." ”
"I was about to report to my grandmother that the old lady of the Dingguo Mansion listened to what you said, and also went to the medicine house to ask the master to come over for diagnosis and treatment, and tomorrow the granddaughter will follow her."
"Oh? It's true? The old lady asked in surprise, and An Zheng immediately put down the needle and thread in his hand.
An Sheng nodded, deliberately showing off in front of the Xue family: "Early tomorrow morning, Yu Shizi will send a carriage and horse to the medicine house. ”
The old lady suddenly danced with her eyebrows: "Last time, it was just an unintentional remark, but I didn't expect it to be listened to by the old lady." The threshold of the gate of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion can be high, ordinary people can not enter, and they can be greeted by Yu Shizi's carriage and horses, and once they enter and exit, they will be the capital to show off in the future. ”
Then he glanced An Sheng up and down, frowning slightly: "You are not allowed to wear such shabby clothes tomorrow and be laughed at by others." The Luo skirt that An Zheng gave you last time can't be eye-catching, and there is a head, you need to be calm and atmospheric, not shabby or public, at this time, how to Zhang Luo? ”
An Sheng lowered his eyebrows: "The master repeatedly refused to go, and also told An Sheng to treat it calmly, without making a big show, An Sheng just dressed up like this, in line with his identity." ”
"No way!" The old lady was extra cautious and tightened her face: "Even if you don't deliberately put on makeup, you must not enter and leave the Hou Mansion like this, that is a word side by side, full of courts, who doesn't admire, who doesn't stutter?" How to dress up tomorrow, I still have to see it in person! ”
An Sheng originally just wanted to deter the Xue family and Xue Xiuliang, but he didn't expect the old lady to value it so much, and he was somewhat remorseful. I can only respond lowly.
When he got out of the old lady's yard, An Zheng caught up with the snow-white puppy in his arms and caught up: "An Sheng, An Sheng!" ”
An Sheng stopped and turned around: "Sister An Zheng, do you have any other orders?" ”
An Zheng reached out and stroked the puppy's back, and the puppy playfully stuck out his tongue to lick An Zheng's palm.
"There's something I'd like to ask you about."
"What do you ask for advice or not, my sister has something to say, just say it bluntly."
"That's right, today my mother sent someone to bring a ball of fish, and I took it to the kitchen and asked the cook to stew soup for my grandmother. But my mother-in-law told me that my grandmother had just finished eating peaches and couldn't drink fish soup, because she would have gas and diarrhea.
I didn't know this, so I asked her for advice, and she told me that many ingredients should not be mixed together, and if I was not careful, it could cause discomfort or chronic poisoning.
Hearing this, I was scared into a sweat, remembering that I had never cared about these things in my daily life, so my grandmother didn't know how many ingredients she had eaten, and I was worried that my grandmother would have any discomfort. Do you think you need to ask her old man for a pulse? ”
When An Zheng said these words, he was worried, his face was full of anxiety, obviously frightened by Lian Pozi's words.
An Sheng's heart was suddenly shocked. Even the mother-in-law naturally understands these principles of mutual restraint, she hides it deeply, and today in order to please An Zheng, she is blunt.
"Aside from the fact that peaches and fish can't be eaten together, what else did she say?" An Sheng asked while the iron was hot.
"There are also crabs and persimmons, seafood and oranges, fish and amaranth, beef and chestnuts, and so on, and so on, and the more I listen, the more frightened I become. Because my grandmother likes to eat seafood, I also like to eat some fruit after dinner to get rid of the fishy smell in my mouth. ”
"Seafood and oranges?" An Sheng's heart throbbed, and she may not remember the rest, but her mother also often ate seafood during her lifetime, especially when autumn was the fattest, and even her mother-in-law often ordered people to get up early to buy the freshest shrimp and crabs. When cooking seafood, she also likes to add a few slices of orange to it, or squeeze a little orange juice, saying that it can remove the fishy flavor.
At that time, Ansheng often tinkered with some of his newly learned dim sum in the kitchen, so he has a deep memory.
No one will suspect anything about this, everyone takes it for granted, and even An Sheng was affected by this and deliberately learned to do it.
Knowing that he can't do it, his vicious heart can be seen.
"Yes, Ansheng, do you need to prescribe a few prescriptions for your grandmother?"
An Sheng shook his head: "It's just to eat it once in a while, and it's not like you will eat it like this when you see the sky, it's insignificant, you don't have to worry about it at all, even the mother-in-law is a little alarmist." ”
An Zheng believed in An Sheng, and when she heard her explanation, most of her heart was relieved: "That's good, I've been worried for a long time, and I don't dare to tell my grandmother, lest she blame me." ”
"Mother-in-law Lian was originally a cook in my family, and when my mother was alive, she took care of her diet. I didn't expect her to be so thick and fine, and understand so many doorways. ”
"So what she said was right?" An Zheng asked humbly.
An Sheng nodded: "Many of them are recorded in the literature, but some of them are simply impossible to study. Pay attention to it after the left and right. If my grandmother is to supplement her body, I have some medicinal recipes there, which complement each other the most, and I will copy them for you. ”
An Zheng said happily when he heard this: "Then thank you very much." ”
The two said politely, and An Sheng went back to his yard.
