Chapter 126: Serving the Sick
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the pet farmer little girl! "Of course not, it's all as it should be." An Xiu'er hurriedly replied.
Wu was able to think of her when she was sick, she felt very happy, taking care of the elderly at home was originally the responsibility of being a daughter-in-law, An Xiu'er naturally would not retreat, and immediately nodded and agreed.
"Okay, then I'll ask you to take care of it during this time." Wu Shi was quite satisfied with An Xiu'er's answer, she said: "Some time ago, Mrs. Li in the city was sick, and her daughter-in-law took care of her without clothes. ”
An Xiu'er smiled shyly, she didn't think so much about it at this time, she just wanted to take good care of Wu, strive to make her change her opinion of her, not asking her to accept her through this time, but at least let her feel better about her.
So An Xiuer began to serve the Wu family for a period of time.
First of all, the big maid next to Wu's side came over and gave An Xiu'er a list, which was mainly about Wu's decoction and some precautions, and she explained to her: "Madam, the old lady has to drink this medicine twice a day, and it takes an hour each time, you must be careful to boil it." ”
Saying that, she took An Xiu'er to Wu's small kitchen, where Wu's medicine jar was placed on the stove in the small kitchen, and the maid picked up the medicine jar and showed it to An Xiu'er, and said: "This medicine is poured into four bowls of water each time, you have to use high heat first, then turn to medium heat and then low heat, and within an hour, boil these four bowls of water into a bowl of medicine, do you understand?" ”
"Understood." An Xiu'er nodded, but she was secretly speechless in her heart, there are too many rules, if she boils medicine like this, won't she have to stay next to the decoction for an hour?
"The old lady's medicine is placed here, it is all wrapped, you can boil one medicine at a time, and one medicine can be boiled twice." The maid walked to the side again, opened a drawer, and explained to An Xiu'er.
"Got it." An Xiuer kept these precautions in mind one by one.
"Also, the time to take medicine is the beginning of the hour and the beginning of the unitary hour every day." The maid explained: "This must be remembered clearly, don't make a mistake!" ”
An Xiu'er also nodded, she took medicine at the beginning of the morning, and it took an hour to boil the medicine, so didn't it mean that she had to get up at the end of the day? It wasn't dawn at the end of the day, even in the countryside, and it was estimated that the chickens didn't crow at that time.
But it's okay, get up in the morning and boil medicine, then it's good to go to bed early at night, An Xiu'er thought to herself.
Next, this girl explained a bunch of precautions and some of Wu's habits and temperament, etc., and the rest was handed over to An Xiu'er.
It's already afternoon at this time, An Xiu'er came to Wu's place, the first thing to do was to boil the medicine, Banxia, the girl who was originally with her, was also taken away, and she could only do it herself.
Fortunately, she is not the kind of person who can't work, the work of boiling medicine is not difficult for her, but this boiling medicine is not so simple, she has been sitting with a fan, and she is also very tired, and it is easy to get through this hour, An Xiuer boiled the medicine and brought it to Wu, but Wu did not give her a good face.
"Mother, drink the medicine." An Xiu'er said in a low voice.
"An's, I really want to treat you well, so I let you serve me, if you don't want to, just go back." Wu Shi said coldly.
"Why did Mother say that?" An Xiu'er felt that Wu's words were inexplicable, she really wanted to take this opportunity to make Wu's opinion of her, and she couldn't succeed in teaching, so she would be charged with the crime inexplicably.
"Didn't Chunhong tell you when I was going to drink the medicine? If you look at the hour, it's three quarters of a quarter, and you're two quarters of an hour late. Wu was very displeased.
"I'm sorry." An Xiu'er immediately apologized to Wu Shi and said, "As soon as Chunhong finished talking to me, I immediately started to prepare, but I didn't expect to boil for an hour, but it was still a little late." ”
"There are many excuses." Seeing that An Xiu'er's attitude of admitting her mistake was not bad, Wu snorted coldly and said, "In that case, what are you still doing in a daze?" ”
An Xiu'er originally put the medicine on the carved table next to Wu's side, but when she heard Wu say this, she was slightly stunned for a while, and asked stubbornly: "Mother means to let me feed you?" ”
"Why, don't you know how to serve people?" Wu raised his eyelids and glanced at her.
An Xiu'er understood what she meant, walked over, and fed her medicine.
She drank a bowl of medicine for a long time, she was too hot at first, An Xiu'er scooped it up, gently blew it cold, and then fed it, and then she opened her mouth with satisfaction.
An Xiu'er has never served people like this, and she is not used to others serving like this, she always feels a little weird, but it doesn't matter, Wu likes it.
After Wu's finished drinking the medicine, An Xiu'er brought tea to her mouth, but she was still not satisfied, saying that the bitterness in her mouth was terrible, and instructed An Xiu'er to get her candied fruit, An Xiu'er found Chunhong to take it easily, and she disliked this kind of candied fruit She didn't like it, and said that she wanted it to be sold in the Bazhen Pavilion in the county town.
An Xiu'er of Bazhen Pavilion has never been there, but she reacted quite quickly, and immediately said, "Then I'll let the maid buy it now." ”
Wu said: "How long will it take for the maid to buy it?" ”
"What then?" Ahn Xiuer asked.
Wu Shi beckoned to An Xiu'er, An Xiu'er took two steps forward, but she took a sip of tea unhurriedly, put down the teacup, and then glanced at An Xiu'er, lowered her eyes, and said slowly: "Don't you have feet?" I've heard that you country girls have big untangled feet and run fast. ”
An Xiu'er looked down at her feet, although she had not been entangled, she was much bigger than Wu Shi and Ye Jingshu, but it was definitely not a big foot.
Wu's meant that she wanted her to go to the county town to buy it in person, and she deliberately wanted her to go in person.
"Okay, I'll go." An Xiu'er thought about it and agreed.
"Then you have to hurry, it's late, I probably don't want to eat." Wu said leisurely.
An Xiu'er's body paused, and she walked out without looking back, and after walking a few steps, she suddenly remembered that she had no money, but it didn't matter, she now knew a little about the Zhang family's system, and Tuo Wu asked her to see the blessing of the account book, she now knew that she had no money to go to the account room to withdraw.
She also vaguely remembered the price of things in the Bazhen Pavilion, compared to the ordinary candied fruit, the candied fruit in the Bazhen Pavilion was worth a lot, An Xiuer took out a hundred taels of silver, and casually found a little maid who looked very pleasing to the eye, and walked out together.
Her luck is good, the maid she found casually turned out to be the son of the Zhang family, although she can't say that she knows everything about this county, but she can easily find a small Bazhen Pavilion.
With her help, An Xiu'er almost didn't take any detours to come to this Eight Treasures Pavilion.
There are so many types of candied fruits in the Bazhen Pavilion that An Xiu'er forgot to ask Wu what kind of candied fruit she likes to eat, but she brought enough money to buy a little of each kind of candied fruit.
After buying something, she was about to pay, but the little girl on the side whispered in her ear: "Madam, in fact, you don't have to pay directly when you come to buy things, just record it directly in our Zhang family's account." ”
"Really?"
After being reminded by her like this, An Xiuer remembered that the last time she looked at the account book, there was indeed a general ledger of major stores, and she wanted to give it a try for this mode of buying things without paying and keeping accounts directly, so she looked up and said to the shopkeeper: "I am from the Zhang family, can I directly record it in the Zhang family's account?" ”
I saw the middle-aged shopkeeper who was playing with the abacus raised himself, glanced at her face, and said with a smile: "Please forgive the little clumsiness, may I ask which young lady of the Zhang family are you?" ”
"I am the wife of Zhang Zhen'an, the uncle of the Zhang family." An Xiuer explained to the shopkeeper that she felt that the shopkeeper didn't seem to trust her very much.
"I'm sorry, I've never heard of Uncle Zhang's wife." The shopkeeper glanced at An Xiu'er twice, lowered his head and fiddled with the abacus, and ignored her anymore.
The little maid on the side was a little angry and said, "This is really the eldest lady of our Zhang family." ”
Being ignored, An Xiu'er was also a little frustrated in her heart, someone had already set her eyes here, An Xiu'er didn't like to be watched, so she pulled the little girl and said in a low voice: "Okay, don't talk about it." ”
"Seventy-six taels and five dollars, erase the change for you, and count you as seventy-five cents." The shopkeeper calculated the accounts, looked up and said.
An Xiuer paid, carried her things and left.
Someone behind him said: "Hey, you are still pretending to be the eldest lady of the Zhang family, how can the eldest lady of the Zhang family come out to buy things in person?" As long as she is instructed, people will not take the initiative to send her to the door. ”
"Yes, the people of the Zhang family are all in a group when they go out, and they are very big, and no matter how bad they are, they are also in a carriage, but I have never seen this walking."
"Maybe it's a disgraceful concubine, or some kind of roommate."
An Xiu'er's hearing is not bad, these people's words clearly reached her ears, and the little maid on the side also heard it, but she sympathized with her a little, and said: "Big lady, don't worry about these people in general, what do they know, they are jealous of you, so they talk nonsense." ”
"I know, you don't have to comfort me." An Xiu'er tugged at the corners of her mouth, showed a smile, and said, "Okay, let's go back quickly, it's going to be dark next day." ”
"yes." The little maid quickened her pace.
When she arrived at Zhang's house, the little maid sent An Xiu'er to Wu's courtyard gate, because she was not enough to enter Wu's courtyard, An Xiu'er took what she had in her hand, thanked her, and took out five taels of silver and handed it to her, saying, "Thank you for showing me the way today." ”
"It should be, it should be." This little girl was a little flattered when she saw An Xiu'er's generous move.
In fact, An Xiuer just didn't have any change on her, and she really wanted to thank this little girl.
Because her yard was a little far away from Wu's yard, she didn't go back to her yard today, and when she went to find someone to accompany her to the street, everyone else avoided her, but she stood up and was willing to go out with her.
