ps ask for recommendations, ask for collections.

Zhen Shi Niang laughed, "...... I'm worried that I can't get enough eight kinds of rice. ”

"Sister-in-law Li is here." The magpie had already collected the dustpan and greeted it with a smile, while reaching out to help Li Qi's daughter-in-law pounce on the snow on her body.

Putting down the basin, Li Qi's daughter-in-law saw the rice basin on the kang at a glance, so she took off her gloves and reached out to pull it, "...... What kind of rice are you preparing? ”

"White rice, millet, red dates, mung beans, lotus seeds, ......" the magpie turned his head and pointed to the freshly peeled kidney beans on the ground, "plus the freshly peeled kidney beans, I finally got six kinds, and Qiu Ju is bringing lotus seeds to shop around outside." Open the basin brought by Li Qi's daughter-in-law, and put a small pot of peanuts on top of half a pot of barley, looking at the pink peanuts, the magpie's eyes flashed, "Brother Wen and Brother Wu have good chewy goods again!" "Brother Wen Wu ate peanuts at Li Qi's house last time, and he came back and muttered for half a month, saying that peanuts are better than melon seeds, "I knew you could send this, so I wouldn't let Qiu Ju out." ”

"It's all here." Li Qi's daughter-in-law smiled, "Hurry up and call the child back, don't freeze on this snowy day." ”

The magpie turned around and went to the cabinet to find the scarf.

"You're in the house." Zhen Shi Niang glanced at her tall belly, "It's been more than half an hour since I went out, and they should come back too." He pointed to the freshly peeled kidney beans and said to Li Qi's daughter-in-law, "The kidney beans I planted this year grow very well and are full of grains, do you want to take some back to make Laba porridge?" ”

"I'm lacking it too." Li Qi's daughter-in-law nodded, "You bring me some more lotus seeds." ”

The magpie found another pot of barley and peanuts brought by Li Qi's daughter-in-law, and turned around to fill her with kidney beans and lotus seeds.

"Sister-in-law Li sits ......" Zhen Siniang pushed the rice basin into the kang, turned around and poured water.

"Don't be busy, I'll leave with a few words." Li Qi's daughter-in-law held her down.

Seeing her solemn expression, Zhen Shi Niang withdrew her hand, "...... What's the matter? ”

"It's still the same thing last time......," Li Qi's daughter-in-law sighed, "That Gu comprador is here again, this time it is very pertinent, his wife had a strange disease a year ago, at first it was just a headache, thinking it was a cold, the people in the hospital did not look good, and they successively found some folk doctors and did not look good, now the old lady's memory is getting worse and worse, the headache is getting worse and worse, her face is pale, and even the painkiller soup prescribed by the doctor is useless, and she shouts every day to let people take an axe to split the head to see, and I have seen that I can't go this year." ”

Splitting headache and blushing face?

What disease could it be?

Zhen Shi Niang tightened her brows, "...... Didn't you go to Dr. Zhong in Liulin Town to see? ”

"Said that I had looked for it in the last autumn, and I didn't see anything wrong, and after diagnosing the pulse, I also said that the old lady's internal organs were all in ......good condition," Li Qi's daughter-in-law shook her head, "That day, the comprador Gu went back after seeing your doctor and recommended it to his master, and his master shook his head as soon as he heard that you were a woman, and he was worried that you were young and only knew how to be greedy, and did not know the severity, and did not know that the plague had caused in this important place in Gyeonggi, so he specially sent the imperial doctor to investigate." Zhen Shi Niang said mysteriously in her ear, "We don't know, I heard that Gu comprador said, there is a Fenggu camp thirty miles away from here, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in it, if it is really infected with the plague, it will be terrible...... That's why the court is so afraid. ”

"I see." Zhen Shi Niang suddenly said, "In this way, his master's official character must not be low." ”

"Gu comprador also admitted that his master is indeed a big official." Li Qi's daughter-in-law nodded, and continued the previous words, "It was Imperial Doctor Wen who listened to the cases you had seen, and strongly recommended you after going back, and his master sent him to invite him, and after going back, I heard that you were not in good health, and his master didn't plan to force it, it was the old lady who had a headache and hit the wall to death, and found Imperial Doctor Wen to find a way, and he recommended you again......" looked at Zhen Siniang seriously, "I see that he also came to ask sincerely, why don't you go and take a look." Sighing, "This person, no matter how powerful he is, once he is entangled by illness, he has to bend down." ”

Zhen Shi Niang sighed, "This snowy day ......"

"Mother, mother......" As he spoke, Jian Wen Jianwu's loud voice came from outside the courtyard, "...... Eat sugar gourds! ”

Hearing the child's voice, Zhen Siniang was about to get up to open the door, but the door of the outhouse was opened with a bang, Jian Wu Jianwen ran in with a cold air, and one person held two or three strings of sugar gourds in his hand, "Mother, mother, eat sugar gourds!" "The little gloves were stained with syrup.

"Brother Wen Wu run slowly, fall carefully......" Qiu Ju followed a basin covered with oilcloth into the house, closing the door while shouting Jian Wu Jianwen.

"Hello Aunt Li!" Hearing this, Jian Wu Jianwen rushed into the house early, and was about to pounce into Zhen Shiniang's arms, when he saw Li Qi's daughter-in-law standing up again, and said hello, Jian Wen looked at the sugar gourd in his hand, and reluctantly handed it forward, "Aunt Li eats sugar gourd." How can Li Qi's daughter-in-law eat this, smiled and patted Jian Wen's little face that was red from the cold, "Brother Wu, you can eat it yourself......"

"I'm Brother Wen!" was admitted again, and Jian Wen was very unhappy.

The two brothers look too similar, not to mention outsiders, even the magpie Qiu Ju sometimes makes mistakes.

"The credit was snatched away by others, our brother Wen is not happy......" Seeing Li Qi's daughter-in-law blushing, Zhen Siniang smiled and played a round, making the adults in the room laugh.

Only the two children were inexplicable, rolling their eyes, swept around everyone, and both threw themselves into Zhen Shi Niang's arms, rushing to hand the sugar gourd forward, "Mother eats sugar gourd!" ”

Zhen Siniang smiled and took the sugar gourd in the hands of the two of them and handed it to the magpie to hold, while helping them take off their hats and gloves, and fluttered the snow on their bodies, "...... How to buy so much? The mouth was asking Brother Wen and Brother Wu, but Zhen Shi Niang's eyes looked at Qiu Ju who had just entered the house.

Qiu Ju is even more stingy than her, even if Brother Wen and Brother Wu are clamoring to eat, it is already the limit for her to buy a move and let the two of them share.

“…… Which is bought? Qiu Ju put down the basin, "It's Aunt Ma's family is making sugar gourds, and when we see us, we took a bunch of them, Brother Wu held it in his hand and refused to eat it, Aunt Ma asked him if it was not delicious, Brother Wu said to keep it home for his mother to eat, Aunt Ma praised him for his filial piety, and insisted on letting you and Aunt Magpie bring back a few ......" Thinking of someone giving it, Jian Wu reached out and took it, as if he had never seen it, Qiu Ju's face turned red, "...... The sausages made by Miss are particularly delicious, so Ming'er will send some to Aunt Ma. Shen Zhongqi sent too much pork, and he couldn't eat it for a while, so Zhen Shi Niang chopped it up and made it into a sausage that was easy to store.

Seeing that Qiu Ju's face was flushed, the magpie didn't have to guess to know the embarrassment at that time, and was afraid that Zhen Shiniang would reprimand Brother Wu, so he hurriedly said, "...... What kind of rice have you changed? ”
