Chapter 40: Yunni's Gift

Wen Yi was stunned for a while, and then said: "Come on, you don't need to thank me, it's just a fair deal, your family has never taken advantage of my family, and I can't say anything kind to your family, if you leave here with your family, you will never see me again, why bother saying anything to remember for a lifetime?" "She wishes she would never have anything to do with the Qin family again for the rest of her life!

Yunni opened her eyes and said, "No, my mother said that you are a good person, otherwise you would not have spent so much money to buy our house." With this money, we can comfortably rush to the capital, and I can always accompany my mother and younger brother without having to be a girl! ”

Wen Yi secretly wrote down the sentence "going to the capital", and said with a forced smile: "Your house is worth this price, I can't bear to separate your flesh and blood, and I just need a house, so I just meddle in things." Get up quickly, even if you kneel for a long time, I won't give you any more money. ”

Zi Ying glared at Yunni: "Did you hear that?" Hurry up! It doesn't look like it! ”

Winnie smirked, stood up, and handed over the burden again: "For you!" ”

Wen Yi didn't care: "What are you doing with this?" Your family is not rich, and it is good to have something to carry on the road. ”

Yunni shook her head and said innocently: "This is not for sale, and it can't be taken on the road, it is a few things that I made, and I used them to honor the eldest lady, don't dislike it." My mother taught me that if someone else helped me, I should give a thank you gift. You helped me and told my mother not to sell me, and I am grateful to you in my heart. I don't have any good stuff but to send these. After that, he opened the knot of baggage, revealing four small porcelain jars the size of fists inside, as well as two bamboo tubes the thickness of adult forearms, half a foot long, sealed with oilcloth at one end, and a burden under the bamboo tube, which seemed to be something soft.

Yunni said: "I made pickles in these small jars. Cuihua told me that the eldest lady loves to eat pickles in our village, and I am the best at this, and everyone praises it when they eat it! Miss also taste, if you like it, I will teach this sister to make it, so that Miss can eat it every day! There are also these two bamboo tubes, which are fruit wine that I learned to brew by myself, which is made from fruits from the mountains, a total of six kinds of fruits! This is my aunt's recipe, I heard that drinking a little every day is very good for the body, and it can also prolong life! If it weren't for the fact that my brother was too young, my mother said he couldn't drink this, and I would have wanted to give it to him! Miss, do you have a taste? It's the same as honey water, it's delicious! With that, he put the burden at his feet, grabbed a bamboo tube, opened it, and sent it to Wen Yi.

Wen Yi only smelled a burst of sweet fragrance, mixed with a rich fruity aroma, but it was very pleasing. It's just that since this is wine, it naturally can't really be regarded as honey, she glanced at Zi Ying, Zi Ying hurriedly took the bamboo tube, and said with a smile: "Miss never eats wine, let me taste it." After that, he went to the kitchen to get a spoon, scooped it and tasted it, and said with a smile: "It's really honey!" It's sweet and sour, and after drinking it, you can taste a little bit of wine. I felt that after the fruit wine flowed through my throat, my chest was warm and comfortable. ”

"yes, yes?!" Yun Ni was happy to hear this, "Grandpa Xiao on the top of the Heavenly King is the only doctor in several villages in our Taiping Mountain, every time he comes to our village, he has to ask me for this, and he also said that this thing is very good for the body, and older children and the elderly can drink it!" ”

Wen Yi's heart moved, and asked, "This Grandpa Xiao, is his medical skills very good?" Why haven't I seen him come to the village all these days? ”

Yun Ni said confusedly: "I also think it's strange, he used to come back and forth every ten years, but now he hasn't come for more than a month...... However, several uncles and uncles who came back to help the eldest lady's family said that he had been to other villages, and he would come in a few days. I wonder if he can make a trip before we leave our house? I'm still worried that my brother won't be able to endure hardships on the road. ”

Wen Yi asked her again: "This Grandpa Xiao has good medical skills?" ”

"Shouldn't it be good?" Yunni hesitated, "He can cure the diseases of people in our village, but the people in the county town never invite him to see him, thinking that he is a country doctor." My mother used to take my younger brother to the city to see a doctor, and never looked for Grandpa Xiao, but then she ran out of money, so she invited him to come and see. My brother took his medicine and seemed to be getting better, but he didn't see any improvement before. ”

Wen Yi knew in his heart that this old doctor Xiao must have some ability, but because he often practiced medicine in the countryside, some people in Pingyin City looked down on him. She thought of her grandmother's illness, the doctors in Pingyang, they had all seen it, only the prescription of Mrs. Wang was the most effective, but Mrs. Wang was not easy to invite, I don't know if this Dr. Xiao has a way?

She looked at the bamboo tube again, and was a little moved: If this fruit wine is really good for the old man's body, then if my grandmother drinks some in autumn and winter, will she be able to get sick a few times?

Thinking of this, she asked Yunni, "Can you drink this fruit wine in winter?" Are there any taboos for the elderly to drink? ”

Yunni's eyes were puzzled: "Why can't you drink it in winter?" Of course, it's even warmer when you drink it warm! My aunt didn't say that there was any taboo about drinking this, only that it was very good for the elderly to drink, and Grandpa Xiao often drank it. He is over 70 years old, and his body is still very tough, and he walks up and down the mountain all the year round, and he walks more neatly than the next life! ”

Wen Yi was even more moved, bit her lip, and asked carefully: "This recipe for winemaking...... Is it a secret ingredient? Can it be passed on? ”

Yunni smiled: "Miss, like? Then I'll teach you! It's a bit of a hassle, but you're so smart that you can definitely learn! ”

Wen Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Yun Ni was also a little less vigilant and a little closer, thinking that she was almost sold as a slave by her mother at a young age, just to raise money for her younger brother to recognize her relatives, she was just a poor person. Her tone softened a lot, and she smiled, "Thank you very much." ”

Yunni hurriedly waved her hand and said, "You don't have to thank me, what is this?" I should thank you! He took out another burden from the burden at his feet, opened it with a red face, and said, "And this one...... I did it myself...... The material is muslin...... You often go to the fields in satin clothes, it would be a pity if you get dirty, this is brand new, you haven't put it on, don't dislike it......"

Wen Yi saw that the bag was neatly stacked with a pea-green background gray floral jacket and a blue and blue skirt, the needlework was slightly immature, but it was quite fine, it was made of soft cotton cloth, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "You made a dress so quickly?!" "Impossible, right?!

Yunni blushed and said, "This was originally made for Cuihua...... Don't be angry, because it's too small, she ...... She can't wear it, so I'm going to keep it for myself......"

Zi Ying raised her finger and poked her in the head, angry and funny: "The clothes made for others, others don't want them, you take them to our miss?!" You're honest, and you tell the truth as soon as you ask! "If you change someone else, you must find an excuse.

Wen Yi smiled, didn't care, just said, "Thank you, it's just that both of you are taller than me, I'm afraid I won't be able to wear it." You take back your clothes, I have taken the pickles and fruit wine, if you haven't left for a few days, teach me how to make wine, right? After thinking about it, he went back to the room and found a sachet out, handed it to her, and said, "Since you gave me something, I should also return the gift." This is my own embroidered sachet, the needle and thread are not enough, but the materials are all of the highest quality, there are two small sacs in it, one is filled with spices, smelling can calm the nerves, can repel mosquitoes, the other is loaded with silver to spend money and money, please a good use. If you take it, if you are short of money on the road, you can sell it for a few pennies or two. She was afraid that Yunni was born in a small household, and she might not really be able to understand the value of this sachet, so she specially made it clear, which can be regarded as a heart.

Yun Ni saw that the embroidered pattern on the sachet was very exquisite, and she was fascinated by it, and when she heard that Wen Yi made it herself, she hurriedly took it solemnly and said, "I won't sell it!" This is a return gift from the young lady! I took it to my nose and smelled it, and smiled: "It's so fragrant!" Does this really repel mosquitoes? My brother is always bitten by mosquitoes, his hands and face are full of red envelopes, itchy and painful, and he can't sleep well at night, with this, he is not afraid! ”

Wen Yi sighed secretly in her heart, but she couldn't say anything, after all, it was someone else's private matter, so she had to smile silently.

Yun Ni sniffed it several times, and suddenly said: "This smell is a little familiar, I seem to ......have smelled it somewhere" Zi Ying smiled and picked up the burden on the ground, and said: "It's not surprising that I have smelled it, it is filled with dried tonka incense, and a few other herbs, which are all things grown in the mountains and fields, you must have seen them." ”

Yun Ni suddenly realized: "So, Cuihua once took me to a small valley in the mountains to play, where there grew a fragrant grass, she said that the grass bloomed like a small bell, so she called it Linglingxiang, is this what is in this purse?!" She was surprised and delighted: "Miss, you recognize this, I'll take you to take a look, if it's really it, I'll pick a big bag and take it with me, and my brother will no longer be afraid of mosquito bites in the future!" With that, he picked up Wen Yi and ran out.

Zi Ying was stunned, but she was holding a bunch of things in her arms, and it was inconvenient to catch up, so she had to run into the kitchen and put it down, and threw her clothes into her own room, so she hurriedly chased after her, who knew that she ran into the oncoming Aunt Zhang when she went out, and the two fell to the ground, Aunt Zhang's feet and neck hurt, so she scolded: "What about rushing to reincarnate?!" Grandma doesn't threaten, you really think I'm a sick cat?! Zi Ying knew that she was in a hurry and didn't pay attention to hitting someone, so she had to hold back her anger, helped her get up and entered the room, found the medicine and threw it to her, and then quickly ran out of the hospital to look, but could only see a bunch of people crowded together, where is there any trace of Wen Yi?

Wen Yi was dragged by Yunni and ran out of dozens of feet, so she couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, it's the same if you walk slowly!" Yunni came to her senses, stopped, and said with some trepidation: "I'm sorry...... Miss, I'm in a hurry......"

Wen Yi calmed down and sighed: "You suddenly pulled me out and ran out, but I didn't know what to say, so you should let me know where to go." If, as you said, it is in a small valley in the mountains, then I cannot go alone. ”

Yunni hurriedly said: "It's close, it's really close!" You can't see it down the mountain, but you can get there soon when you go up the mountain! She was afraid that she would not understand, so she pointed to the mountain: "Look, there are three red maple trees there!" Just under that tree, there is a path, and you will go all the way until you reach the little valley at the end! It seems far away, but it will be there soon! ”

Wen Yi looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, she saw three tall red maple trees standing on the edge of the southwest slope, which were particularly conspicuous in a green forest, not far from the Nie family's hot springs, and you could vaguely see people haunting it, but it was not a remote place, why hadn't you heard of the Nie family's people mentioning it?

She relaxed a little and smiled at Yunni, "It's not far away, but I still have something to do now." If you have some free time, go over with the green flowers, pick a few and show them to me, and I'll know if it's right. ”

Yunni was a little disappointed, but she still obediently responded, thought about it, and said, "There are other grass growing there!" Cuihua would sometimes pick some herbs there and sell them to Grandpa Xiao in private. After a pause, she blushed and pursed her lips and snickered, "She said she was saving money for her own house...... When there are two or three texts, and there are more than ten texts, save them, and when they catch the market, they secretly buy silk flowers to wear, or get a box of incense powder to wipe ...... I've also accompanied her to pick ...... After changing the money, I bought delicious ...... for my brother."

She smiled happily, but Wen Yi secretly felt sad for her, and asked with a reluctant smile: "Really?" She's so smart, what kind of herbs are she picking? ”

Yun Ni tilted her head and thought for a while: "I don't recognize, once when Grandpa Xiao was there, it seemed that he had said what one of them was...... Aster? And also...... White bamboo or something......"

Aster? Atractylodes? Wen Yi's heart moved: these two herbs are both medicinal herbs that are found in the prescriptions that grandmother often takes...... She hurriedly asked, "Anything else?" ”

Yun Ni thought about it again, Wen Yi was waiting for her answer, when she suddenly heard a scream not far away, followed by Cuihua's shout: "Mother! It hurts to death! It's just a plate! I don't have a heart! Then Cuihua's mother scolded: "You don't need money for a plate?!" Why did I give birth to you a loser! In her scolding and the cries of the green flowers, there was a whirring rattan sound.

Yunni was terrified when she heard this, and stamped her feet and said, "Amazing! Cuihua must have made her mother angry, she hasn't been beaten yet! I've got to persuade you! He took two steps, stopped again, and looked at Wen Yi hesitantly.

Wen Yi had no choice but to say: "You go, if you see her mother beating hard, ask her grandmother to persuade her." You'd better not say anything more. Since Cuihua has never been beaten, her mother suddenly made a ruthless move, and nine times out of ten it was related to Cuihua's shouting about her family begging for the Qin family's house. At this time, if Yunni said something that should not be said, it would add fuel to the fire.

Yunni nodded vigorously: "I won't stop you, at most I'll pull Cuihua and run away!" Then he turned his head and left. After a while, Wen Yi saw Cuihua running from one end of the village to the other screaming, followed by the panting Yunni, Cuihua Niang ran crookedly behind with a rattan in her hand, chasing all the way and scolding breathlessly. Several peasant women stopped her and persuaded her, she blushed and didn't speak, and when a peasant woman pulled Cuihua over to make amends for her, she suddenly raised the rattan in her hand and hit it, Cuihua screamed, and hurriedly turned around and pulled Yunni and ran away.

Wen Yi was dumbfounded, but she felt angry and funny. Seeing the villagers coming from all directions, some watched the excitement, and some came forward to persuade peace, she was blocked from the road, and she was embarrassed to squeeze home, so she had to retreat to the edge of the village, turned around to look at the situation in the field, and suddenly remembered what Fang Cai Yunni said, and she was a little moved: That old doctor Xiao, I don't know how the medical skills are? In that small valley, I wonder how many herbs will be curative of my grandmother's illness?
