Later, on the Qingming Festival of the second year, Luo Chuanxiong deliberately went back to Luo's house to burn paper for his deceased father, and went to Xicrossyuan to see her daughter who had come back from the dead half a year ago, but saw that the Xicrossyuan was chaotic as if she had been robbed by bandits a few times, and lime powder was sprinkled everywhere, but she couldn't see her ten-year-old daughter. So she knew that the Luo family had not brought their daughter back from the water business view, although she was a little annoyed but could not find a place to reason, after thinking about it, she went to discuss it with the old lady, and after obtaining the old lady's consent, she sent Mama Song to take He Angelica back to the Luo family, still living in the West Cross Courtyard.

He Angelica, who was like a bag, came back with a stomach full of bitter water, and as soon as he entered the house, he ran to the old lady and his mother to complain.

On the one hand, the old lady was still angry that there was a group of rats in the yard of this little girl, and finally caused the rat infestation in Luofu half a year ago; On the other hand, I think she is exaggerating, although the green vegetables and tofu in the Taoist temple are indeed bitter, but they are not hungry, right? Besides, let her do a little physical work of wiping the table and sweeping the floor, and those Taoist aunts of others want to hone her temperament and cultivate her sentiments. It must be because her young lady is too temperamental to endure a little bitterness, so she would say such a thing. As a result, the old lady didn't pay much attention to He Angelica's complaint. As soon as Luo Chuanxiong saw that the old lady had such an attitude, she had no position to speak, and immediately went to the back hall to recite the scriptures.

After that, someone from the old lady's yard went to report to the Sun family, saying that the third lady ran to complain to the old lady that Daoguan's sister-in-law had been abusing her, and that the family had not visited her alone for half a year. Sun thought that his deduction of "care fees" had been exposed, but it was only the old lady who gave herself the dignity of being a housewife that did not let people come to reprimand her, so Sun was furious and recorded these accounts on He Angelica's head, openly and secretly doubling her food and clothing. Anyway, everyone knows that He Angelica is a gourd with a saw-mouthed mouth, and she is clumsy when she speaks, even if she sues, she won't get half a penny.

After the Qingming Festival, Luo Chuanxiong returned to Sanqingguan, and the only person in the family who could vomit bitter water was gone. In this way, He Angelica lived in this tattered West Cross Courtyard where it was once crawled with rats until she got married at the age of fourteen, so this West Cross Courtyard also became the place where her most impressive nightmare began.

If she didn't burn this courtyard to the ground, she would never forget the cold and helpless memories of her previous life, and it would be impossible to start over in the true sense, so this time, she must burn down the West Cross Courtyard before she stepped into the gate of the Luo Mansion.

"Yo, the fragrant red fruit tea, it tastes sweet and sour, much better than the fruit tea I used to drink!" The old lady smiled, the irritability caused by the thirst just now was swept away, and smiled at Mama Tang, "The craftsmanship of licorice has also been compared, and I should think about this taste when I drink plum tea made from licorice in the future!" ”

Mama Tang also held a cup of red fruit tea to her nose to smell the fragrance, and waited for the old lady to finish drinking before she began to drink, although He Angelica prepared tea in five bamboo tubes, not to mention two people, even two cows are enough to drink, but it is also a habit that Mama Tang has developed for many years to start first.

After the old lady drank one cup, she couldn't wait to get the second cup, and when she drank it, she drank it all at once, not at all like when she was at home, when she had to take turns to persuade a few little maids to eat and drink, and then reluctantly use a little.

Mama Tang saw that the old lady liked this red fruit tea so much, because she had recommended this tea, and she also felt honored, so she said happily: "I also said before that it is more fragrant than the fresh fruit soup at home, drink a cup of refreshing spleen, and want to drink the third cup after drinking the second cup, so the old slave once asked the third lady for the secret recipe, and the third lady also said it, and said that when she got good materials when she got home, she would make a few catties more and give it to the old slave, hehe." Now that the old lady also likes to drink this, she just needs to find more fruits and honey to let Miss San make us fruit tea, then you can drink this every day if you want to in the future. After that, she lowered her head and took a sip, swallowed it and said in surprise, "This one tastes better than the last one, and with some schisandra, it changes so much!" Not only the original sweet and sour taste, but also a mellow aftertaste! ”

He Angelica fiddled with the tea set on the small tea table with a pair of dexterous little hands, and his voice was as crisp as a pearl falling on a jade plate: "This is the tea making method I saw from a book, and there was originally a material like schisandra, because I drank something to quench my thirst, so I was lazy to look for schisandra." It just so happened that yesterday the Taishan teacher asked me to go to the medicine store to help her find medicine for leg pain, so I said that I took more than one or two schisandra and brought it back to make tea, but I didn't expect that the ancestors were also used to drinking this red fruit tea, so Angelica just took this to honor you. However, drinking this in autumn and winter can be appetizing, and drinking this in spring and summer is a bit dry, so I might as well make other tea for you to taste. ”

The old lady was so happy that she touched He Angelica's head with her hand again, and said: "After the immortal Weng is ignited, it is really different, I can't say so many words in the previous month, but now I can be regarded as enlightened!" Chuanxiong is because of her clumsy tongue, and she won't reason with herself no matter how much she suffers, I always thought that Sister Yi would follow her mother's example. Hearing that He Angelica's words had some pharmacological knowledge, and what did he say to help Dao Gu find medicine to cure her illness, the old lady couldn't help but wonder, "Good boy, where did your ability to understand medicine come from?" You didn't know that before, hey, you just said you read books? Sister Yi'er, when did you become literate? ”

He Angelica at this time in his previous life was indeed illiterate, so the words in the letter sent by Nie Chun just now, He Angelica was written with his left hand, and he tried his best to write to the extent that a beginner who learned to write wrote, four or five identical words were written in a new shape each, and many typos were written, and the whole letter only belonged to the grade of "recognizable content". Therefore, just now, the old lady did not have any doubts about the illiterate He Angelica suddenly writing a letter.

"My ancestors don't know anything, although I don't know much, but I just know the words on the recipe of this fruit tea, and I still don't know much about other words, for example, I can't understand the title of the book that records the recipe." He Angelica poured the hot red fruit tea into two of the bamboo tubes, and continued to explain to the old lady, "As for the knowledge of medicine, it is also the past six months in Luofu that I have heard some of it, but it is probably not as good as a sweeping boy in the Nanyuan Medicine House, and it is empty of jokes when he says it, so I haven't mentioned it to my ancestors." After that, she lifted the curtain, handed the two bamboo tubes to the cicada clothes who were sitting in the carriage and rested, and let them drink with Miss Ji and Huaihua, after all, she and the old lady had a lot to say, and it was not good for the three of them to be thirsty and wait. This move won some favor from Mama Tang, because she knew that her adopted daughter Ah Ji had also been on the road all night and had not entered a drop of water, although she wanted to give her a cup of tea to quench her thirst, but she cared about the master here.

When the old lady heard He Angelica's explanation, she immediately felt that it was very reasonable, when she married into the Luo family, didn't she also understand a little bit of medical pharmacology?

But her husband Luo Duzhong is a judge of Zhengliu Pintai Hospital, and his family has opened the first medicine hall of the Ming Dynasty, the eighty-year-old Sanqingtang, and he has been dealing with medicine all day long, and he gradually understands more. Among the three sons of the old lady, Luo Du Zhong is the eldest, so since the old lady began to travel around fifteen years ago, this Sanqingtang has been officially taken over by Luodong Mansion. The old lady was the head of the house in Dongfu at that time, so she gradually learned the ability to diagnose the pulse and prescribe prescriptions from her husband, even better than the eldest son Luo Chuanbai and the second son Luo Chuangu.

Later, several granddaughters gradually grew up to be literate, and the old lady felt that because she knew economic calculations and medical knowledge in the middle of her life, she compared her sister who didn't like to read and sat in the position of being the housewife, so she wanted her granddaughters to learn from their own appearance, have a few skills, and they would not suffer if they married in the future. So, the old lady specially cleared a few famous female gentlemen from far and near to give lessons to the young ladies at home, and sometimes invited the old ladies who were released from the palace to give them etiquette lessons, and told the young ladies about the anecdotes of Ying Tianfu to broaden their horizons.

On their Yangzhou side, there are general benefits for all the big ladies, that is, the Chengxu Academy here is divided into a men's academy and a women's academy, which means that women can also go to the school to read and write, and can learn some economic knowledge, and they can look at the account books more handy when managing family affairs in the future. Although many young ladies are not interested in studying, and would rather sit at home and listen to the opera and embroider mandarin ducks, the "Qushui Liuzhen" three times a year in Chengxu Academy is the welfare of all Miss Gongzi, and it also attracts many lazy ladies to apply for the college.

This "meandering water" is a kind of poetry and drinking party handed down from ancient times, where everyone sits on the ground by a stream and puts down a wooden wine glass from the upper stream. Whoever floats to the place where the wine glass floats and stops, he drinks the wine in the glass and recites a poem, and at most adds some tricks to write poems or propositions, which is not unusual.

The benefit of the "Qushui Liuzhen" of Kechengxu College is that male and female students can participate together. Female students don't have to drink alcohol, but a talent show is added; In addition to composing poems, there is also a competition in the ring of martial arts, although it cannot be compared with the kind of real swords and guns on the rivers and lakes, but the noble sons with faces like crowned jade, red lips and white teeth are still very interesting to dance with swords. In general, the sorority of male and female students three times a year is simply a group blind date in a sense.
