Chapter 055: Shame to See Two Sisters
Mama Tang suddenly changed color and said: "How can it be reasonable, those minions actually deceived the master!" If you don't put the third lady and a child in your eyes, don't you also put the old lady in your eyes? Third Miss, it's not that I blame you, why don't you tell the old lady about these situations? The old lady will definitely call the shots for you! ”
He Angelica lowered his head and sighed: "I fell a big heel, full of grievances, I wanted to go to my ancestors to complain, but I met the second sister and the fourth sister on the way, and I was unstable for a while and angered the second sister." I knew that I couldn't escape the blame, so I didn't dare to go to my ancestors. ”
Mama Tang also shook her head and sighed, with a hint of hatred in her tone: "The second miss is a soft-hearted person with an excellent temper, why did the third miss provoke the second miss again?" ”
He Angelica said with self-pity: "I saw from a distance that the second sister and the fourth sister were led by a few maids with lanterns, and also went to the ancestors' Fushou Garden, and then saw their new clothes shining brightly under the reflection of the lanterns. I was so ashamed to see the two sisters that I hid behind a clump of beauty flowers, and planned to wait for them to go back to the West Cross Hospital to heal their wounds, and to complain to my ancestors another day. Unexpectedly, the second sister and the fourth sister walked to the front of the flower bush and suddenly stopped, saying that there was a butterfly on the flower and they wanted to catch the butterfly. I didn't wait for me to react, I only felt a sharp pain from the back of my hand on the ground, and quickly retracted my hand, and then I heard the second sister's scream. Following her gaze, I immediately understood that the second sister accidentally stepped on my hand just now catching butterflies, and I was really damned, when I pulled my hand back, I rubbed the blood in my palm on the upper of the second sister's shoe. ”
Mama Tang was silent for a moment and said, "In this way, this is just an accident, and the second and third misses didn't expect it. The second lady has always been friendly to her sisters and tolerant of people, and it is estimated that she is also angry with the third miss because her beloved new shoes are dirty. In the next few months, didn't Wang Qi's family send you the silver? ”
He Angelica shook his head and said: "Only once I asked in a hurry, and shouted a sentence to ask the ancestor to judge, Aunt Wang changed her smile and said, the silver is dead in my hands, the more it is spent, the less it is spent, but it is alive in her hands, the more it is spent, the more it is spent, and after a few days to get the dividend, there are also my benefits." ”
Mama Tang's face changed in a cloudy voice, and she asked in a deep voice, "You didn't ask her where the silver was used?" Did you receive any money later? ”
"Where's the money? I went two or three more times and still didn't get any results. He Danggui glanced outside the door and said with a smile, "Hongguo tea is here, Mama moisten your throat, let's not talk about these unhappy things, Mama, you must be E, right?" ”
Mama Tang still wanted to ask for some details, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the round-faced girl walking into the door with a bowl of steaming tea, but unexpectedly, a figure squeezed over behind her, touched the round-faced girl's arm, and a bowl of tea was about to be spilled. Just when Mama Tang subconsciously avoided the splash of tea, she only felt that there was a green shadow in front of her, and when she looked at it again, the red fruit tea did not spill out, but was held in the palm of the third lady.
He Angelica gave the red fruit tea to Mama Tang, and scolded outside the door: "How can you be flustered when you walk, if you burn your guests, you can get twenty prototypes!" Turned his head and apologized to Mama Tang, "I'm sorry, I was frightened, fortunately, I was standing up to serve tea to Mama in person, so I hurriedly went up and helped her, so I didn't let the tea spill out, Mama, please drink tea to suppress the shock!" ”
Mama Tang nodded and took it, and said, "With Miss Laosan, I'm really a little thirsty." She only felt sweet and fragrant in her nose, so she lowered her head and took a sip to test the water temperature, and drank a few big sips before she looked up and smiled, "It's delicious, sweeter than the fresh fruit soup at home!" Well, it's really fragrant, and it feels even more refreshing to drink, how is this tea made? ”
He Angelica replied with a smile: "This is made casually, marinate the red fruit with brown sugar, and then dry it on the fire, and repeat it several times." There is a lack of this and that on the mountain, and the fruit tea made is also simple, and Mama feels delicious when she is thirsty. When I get home and have good materials, I will make a few catties for my grandmother to eat and play. Then she turned her head to look out of the door again, and said in a reproachful tone, "Huaihua, this time, remember to be calmer in the future, don't be frizzy and running around." How's Mama Tang's meal going? ”
Mama Tang raised her eyes and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman in gray standing outside the door, with a pair of eyes like frightened little beasts, black and white like two black pills in a white porcelain plate.
The woman in gray nervously rubbed the corners of her clothes under Mama Tang's gaze, and replied, "Senior Sister said that the meal has been arranged, so please invite the guests to eat in the side room of the North Courtyard." Also, I met Maaki on the road just now, and she heard that I was going to see Miss, so she asked me to bring a message to Miss, and she said that Master used Miss's medicine bag very well, and wanted to tie two more to her legs to cure leg pain. ”
"Oh?" He Angelica's voice was smiling, "Master Taishan likes the herbal cushion I gave her too much?" How's her waist? ”
The woman in gray nodded: "Listening to Zhenming, it only took two days for the master to make his waist hurt at all, and he has the strength to walk." Therefore, the master asked Zhenming to say that the medicinal materials in the medicine house should be taken by the young lady casually, and the young lady was asked to make her two more medicine packets to treat her leg pain. ”
He Angelica covered his mouth through the veil and smiled: "Yes, is it so effective?" Shi Tai has a life, I dare not obey, you go and tell Zhenming, I will definitely do a good job for Shi Tai if I don't sleep tonight, let Shi Tai wait. The woman in gray agreed and ran.
Mama Tang raised her eyebrows and asked, "What medicine package is so effective in treating back pain?" It turns out that the third lady also understands medical science? When did the third lady learn medicine, I don't know? ”
He Angelica laughed: "Mama you know, I don't even know a few big characters, if I say that I understand medical science and pharmacology, wouldn't I laugh at all the big teeth in the world." That's the case, a few months ago, I had nothing to do and wanted to learn to read and write, and I read two medical books and lived in a prescription for back pain, so I made a herbal cushion and gave it to the Taoist temple of Taishan Shitai, I didn't expect it to work, it's really gratifying! Mrs. Shi has taken me in for many days, and I must make a few more cushions to repay her kindness. ”
"The third lady is really a kind-hearted person." Mama Tang nodded, and asked again, "Why did that girl call you Miss just now?" Listening to her tone, it is clear that she is a Taoist aunt in the Taoist temple. ”
He Angelica smiled: "Yes, she is also the Taoist aunt of this Taoist temple, the legal name is asked, she and Cicada Yi are good, I heard that Cicada Yi is my maid and I am envious, so I also came to beg to be a maid for me, and I will go back to Luo's house together." I agreed to her, and gave her the common name Huaihua, but I told her that I could not make the decision to take the second maid home, and I had to ask the opinion of the grandmother who came to pick her up before I could take her with me. ”
Mama Tang groaned slightly, and said slowly: "Third Miss, there are a lot of maids in our family, and when you return home, the second wife must have chosen the best arrangement in the West Cross Courtyard." Besides, except for the daughters of domestic servants, the maids in our house have always been procured from the grass cattle market, and after special training, they start to do things in an orderly manner, and you also use them comfortably, don't you say? ”
He Angelica nodded and chuckled: "What Mama said is very reasonable, so forget it." We have to hurry tomorrow morning, Mama, you have a hard journey, please drink another bowl of red fruit tea to relieve fatigue, I will let the cicada Yi send you to the side room of the North Courtyard for fasting. ”
Mama Tang said with a smile: "The third lady's skillful hands make tea, even ten bowls I can drink." ”
"Oh, no!" He Angelica suddenly covered his lips through the veil and screamed, then glared at the tea bowl in Mama Tang's hand, and shouted, "Mama, quickly drop the bowl!" ”
Mama Tang strangely put the bowl back on the table and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
He Angelica glanced down at his hand, then looked at Mama Tang's hand, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mama, just now I forgot that I had itchy powder on my hands, so I went to serve tea to Mama...... Your hand has passed the tea bowl I brought, you don't feel anything unusual, do you? ”
Don't say it, I don't think it, when Miss San mentioned it, Mama Tang really felt that her palms began to itch, and the itching feeling became stronger and stronger, really just like Miss San described before, the itching feeling was born from the bones, and it was a strange itch drilled into the bones. Mama Tang was also like He Angelica before, her hands began to rub and scratch, and she felt very uncomfortable.
He Angelica was silent for a moment, and shouted from the window: "Cicada clothes, quickly bring a basin of cool spring water and wash your hands for Mama!" ”
As soon as Mama Tang heard that there was cold water to wash her hands, she couldn't wait for someone else to bring it to her, so she rushed out to find water, and then saw the round-faced girl coming with a basin of water, and hurriedly put it on the ground and soaked her hands in it to scrub it. Feeling that the itch went down a lot, she hurriedly beckoned: "Third Miss, you should also come and take a soak, so that it won't itch!" ”
He Angelica shook his head and said: "Mama doesn't know, this Diao yam has no cure, it can't be washed or wiped away, it will definitely itch for two or three days before it gets better, and the itching feeling is that the itch will stop for a while, and when the itch is itched again after the interval, it will be more unbearable than before." After tasting Diao Yam last time, I was afraid that I would accidentally get it in the future, so I went to Luofu's study and searched all the books related to this, but I couldn't find a way to relieve the medicinal properties. I'm so sorry, Mama, it's me who bothered you. ”
Sure enough, Mama Tang felt that her hand soaked in cold water began to itch again, and the itch was even stronger than before, so she began to scratch violently again.
"Mama, don't scratch so hard," He Angelica dissuaded, "Once you scratch your skin and let the wind evil invade, it will be even more itchy and painful." And this will itch for two or three days, if you scratch it now, then what will you do when you itch your heart in the future? ”
Mama Tang was so frightened that she immediately stopped, but the itch penetrated the bone marrow, so she had to learn to rub it around like He Angelica, but it still didn't relieve the itch.
He Angelica sighed and comforted her: "Mama, don't be afraid, just now I rubbed my hands for a long time, and the itchy powder on the surface of my skin is basically gone, and it was transmitted to you indirectly through the tea bowl, so I think, maybe you won't be as serious as me." Looking back now, the last time I got itchy powder, it was as much as two dollars, and this time it was much less, maybe it will be better in one day. ”
Mama Tang clenched her teeth and did not speak, as if she was suppressing a huge anger. He Angelica looked at her worriedly and asked, "Mama, are you hungry?" I'll let Cicada Yi lead you to eat, if you can't use chopsticks, let her feed you, Cicada Yi is very caring, let her serve you in the North Courtyard today. ”
Mama Tang's clenched teeth loosened, and she finally spoke: "The old slave never wants to say that the master is not, but the fourth lady is too much!" She was only nine years old and used Diao Yam on her cousin, which was too much! If you don't persuade the old lady to discipline her well, she will probably even use arsenic and crane top red in the future! ”
