Chapter 84: Sorghum

"What Sister Liu said...... What is it? "Pillow Spring is puzzled.

Liu Anran solemnly looked at Lian Yueyang, then at Pillow Chun, and said: "The Meng family is a decent scenery, you marry the peach blossoms, and others will say that the sparrow made the phoenix to climb the branch." I know you don't mind other people's arrangements, but what about your sister who didn't marry in the past? ”

In addition to An Huatang, there are no other concubines in the Pillow Spring family. The Liu family and the An family are world friends, and Liu Anran naturally saw An Huatang. The rules of the Liu family are big, and the most respectful and humble are the concubines, in Liu Anran's heart, she and Zhuchun are handkerchiefs between the concubines, so they have not had too much contact with An Huatang. Pillow Chun's mother, Tu, is the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and she has been guided by Mrs. Hou since she was a child, and she has a lot of ways to handle the affairs of the inner courtyard, and she has handled several concubines properly. Therefore, An Huatang, a concubine, has never seen anyone or the market since she was a child, and she does not enter and leave the hall much. If there is anything that makes people remember, it is that An Huatang looks supple and delicate, and when he speaks, he is obedient and obedient, and he also has a somewhat pitiful posture.

Pillow Chun heard Liu Anran mention something, and then he was silent. She hadn't thought about it herself. An Huatang's family business is bumpy, before the fall of the Shi family caused He Tingshi to fall from power, An Huatang could not marry into the He family as a concubine, and it was quite a bit of a blow, and now the second son of Meng is unwilling to marry her, but he also fell in love with the slave maid around Pillow Chun. An Huatang is smart and can read, and she is already thinking a lot, but she is only afraid that she will not have any misunderstandings and resentments. replied with Liu Anran: "What my sister said is that I have to go home to get a letter." ”

In this way, the next day, he sent a letter back to his mother, explaining that the second son of Meng asked to marry Peach Blossom, and asked his sister how well.

Tu quickly replied. An Huatang was really uncomfortable, knowing that the person who gave the marriage was actually a peach blossom, and he was very angry and sad, and he became ill. Fortunately, he was not sick at all, but he could only recuperate in bed. Although Tu is a wife and mother, he can't be mean to his concubine, so he went to visit him a few times. Although An Huatang was sad, he knew that the matter set by the Marquis of Guangping could not be turned around, so he also said that he would not complain about the pillow spring or peach blossoms, but just asked Tu for a favor. It's not anything else, An Huatang said that his marriage is shallow, and his life is bitter, and he begged Tu's grace to allow her to choose her husband's family by herself.

Tu Shi saw that she was sick and emaciated, so he agreed.

When he received the reply, he relieved himself and raised the baby with peace of mind.

The days of late spring are particularly abrasive, and I have been dozing off for three days. Pillow spring is the first pregnancy, and people are getting more and more lazy. Because of the rainy season, Concubine Qi suffered some wind and cold, so she was exempted from asking for peace for a few days. The most noble concubine is not there, so everyone is lazy. On the day of the pillow spring, I slept until the end of the morning, and the lunch was not yet opened. Fortunately, Mu Beiyi doted on her and allowed her to pass on the small kitchen, so she asked Yulan to pass on some food. After a while, there were hot porridge, sweet potato croquettes, purple potato sesame cakes, as well as a plate of cold vegetables and a bowl of pickled radishes. Pillow Chun took a spoon, stirred, tasted a mouthful of porridge, and praised: "This porridge is not like the delicate and greasy soup I used to eat, it is exceptionally refreshing." ”

Yulan looked at it and replied, "The Peach Blossom Girl is getting married, and she has been busy handing over the treasury to the slave maid recently, so she has been a lot busy." Originally, she knew the taste of the little master best, but now the meal had to be taken care of by Pear Blossom. The slave was still worried that the pear blossom had only been here for a long time, and she couldn't figure out the little master's hobbies. Now that the little master likes it, the slave and maid are relieved. ”

Pillow Chun nodded: "I have never reused her, and she is quiet in her work." As he spoke, he tasted it again and asked, "It's really good, what kind of porridge is this?" ”

"Back to the little master, it's sorghum rice." Yulan replied, "Pear Blossom also specially said that sorghum rice is warm and spleen-warming, which is very good for pregnant people." So she specially explained to the kitchen, these days when the little master is pregnant, she uses sorghum rice to make soup. ”

Pillow Chun was very satisfied: "It's a careful one, when the peach blossom is out of the palace, you can dial the pear blossom into the inner room to serve." ”

Su Bai was holding a handful of delicate begonias in the bottle, and when he heard the sound, he lowered his eyebrows and smiled, and said respectfully: "That pear blossom looks silent, but she has these thoughts." The slave maid heard that if the sorghum is cooked with jujubes, it can also nourish the body and longevity. As he spoke, he inserted the light red begonia into a delicate white bottle, served the table for the meal, and served the pillow spring soup.

"How good is that?" Pillow Chun smiled lightly, and was about to taste it again.

"Little lord and slow." Su Bai suddenly collapsed his face and spoke.

"Huh?" Pillow Spring was puzzled.

Su Bai took a closer look at the spoon in Zhuchun's hand, and then stepped forward to look at the porcelain jar containing the porridge, and his face was not good: "Little master, don't be impatient...... The slave and maid watched...... This doesn't seem to be sorghum rice. ”

Pillow Chun's hand moved, and the spoon fell into the bowl. She covered her mouth with a silk and said lightly: "The wind is weird and cold." ”

The breeze at the end of March is soft, and it will be cold. Yulan understood, and said loudly: "The little master is a person with a body, so he is naturally afraid of the wind, so the slave and maid will close the doors and windows." So saying, he knocked down the curtains of the windows and doors one by one, and the room was darkened by two minutes.

"Little Lord." Su Bai replied in a low voice, "When the slave maid was young, the family planted sorghum, which looks similar to the porridge you eat, but it is a little different. The grains in your bowl seem to be darker than sorghum. Please allow the slave to take a closer look. ”

Pillow Spring nodded.

Su Bai rolled up his sleeves, fished out a handful of cooked grains from the porcelain jar, took two grains and rubbed them carefully on his hands, smelled and looked at them, and replied: "Little master, this grain looks like sorghum at a rough glance, but the color seems to be darker than sorghum. The slave and maid twisted open the grains of rice and looked at it, and found some small crumbs. If the slave is not mistaken......" Su Bai looked up at Pillow Chun, "I'm afraid this is a little barley." ”

Yulan was taken aback: "But the barley you eat when you cool off the heat?" ”

Su Bai nodded: "Exactly." However, this is not an ordinary barley, which is larger than sorghum and has a shallow furrow on the rice. These rice grains are carefully selected from the small barleys, and the furrows on the rice grains are removed one by one, so they look like sorghum. Therefore, when the slave and maid twisted it, they found that there were crumbs, which was because the skin of the barley was harder than that of the sorghum. ”

Removing the furrows from the rice grains one by one? Pillow Chun smiled: "What is the use of such fine work?" ”

Su Bai's voice lowered: "Barley is a good product to relieve heat, and if you eat it often, it will have the effect of killing ascaris and abortion because of the cold." If the body foundation is good, even if it will not have a miscarriage, it will give birth to a malformation because of taking it for a long time. ”

Pillow Chun listened, only to feel cold hands and feet. At this moment, I felt that the porridge soup I had just swallowed was like a fish in my throat, and I sneered: "I thought that the concubines looked down on me, and my usual calculations were simple and crude. I didn't expect that with these careful thoughts, I could go straight to my food, clothing, housing and transportation. ”

Su Bai first said with relief: "Don't worry, little master, it's okay to eat only a few bites." Just pear blossom there...... The little lord is going to attack her? ”

Pillow Chun thought for a moment and waved his hand: "No." She closed her eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "First ask the senior doctor from the Tai Hospital to come to Qi Yunxuan to take a look, there are other things that have been tampered with." Now that the pear blossom has an immediate attack, he has to fight the grass and startle the snake. Knowing what it is and why it is true, I have my own plans. She coughed lightly and said loudly: "The owner of this sorghum rice porridge likes it very much, and it is really refreshing." Passed it on, and every morning after that, the Lord would enter a bowl. ”

"The slave understands." Su Liubai was really smart, and when he knew the reason, he saluted and immediately ordered.
