Chapter 36 Decoction Brings Out Flavor
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and decoction of medicine every day has become a chore.
April is quite heat-resistant, but oranges are not, sweating profusely in the morning and evening. I want to be lazy, but I'm afraid of being discovered. can only guard hard, holding a pu fan in his hand, and he doesn't dare to fan the wind wantonly. I am afraid that it will affect the heat, and then affect the medicinal properties.
Several times in April, she was asked to go outside to blow the wind, and Liu Cheng only shook her head.
"I don't dare. Decoction of medicine for Lang Jun is the most important thing in Bibo Courtyard. Once I walked away, someone would definitely go to Aunt Xu to complain. There are many people who want to replace me. ”
April's eyebrows moved, "I don't know if Childe's condition has improved." ”
"Lang Jun has eaten medicine since he has eaten it for so many years, and I am afraid that the medicinal materials alone can fill a room. How can it be so easy to heal. The reason why you are allowed to enter the house to decoct the medicine is also to ask for peace of mind. ”
Sister Liu Cheng has a point. I also felt that I was useless and should have left early. ”
"You can't think so." Liu Cheng hurriedly asked April to stop talking, "You have to firmly believe that your decoction will help Childe's condition, so that it can work." All in all, you listened to me right. And, it's good for you, too. Childe's condition is really good, and the benefits of Ling are definitely indispensable. ”
Uh-huh!
April nodded repeatedly. She won't argue with Liu Cheng, no matter what she says, she agrees with the other party. In this way, many troubles and contradictions are avoided.
The porter came to report that someone was looking for her outside.
April was curious to guess who was looking for her, and insisted on decocting the medicine and delivering the medicine, and then hurried to the back door of the palace.
"Mother, uncle, eldest brother, why are you here?"
It was a pleasant surprise.
April didn't expect that her family would come to visit her.
The eldest brother was wearing a brand new uniform and smiling at her.
"Congratulations to Big Brother for getting what he wanted."
"Hard sister."
"Why is my mother here too?"
It was not surprising that the eldest brother came to visit her, and it was not surprising that the second uncle came, but it was her mother who surprised her. My mother had the courage to walk out of the house and travel hundreds of miles to the city.
That's a huge step forward.
You must know that my mother didn't even dare to go to my uncle's house dozens of steps away. asked her to go to the fourth master's house, but she was also cowering, for fear of seeing people and talking about things.
Yuan Li cried again when he saw his daughter, "My mother misses you, and I beg your second uncle." ”
April looked at his second uncle.
The second uncle laughed and was extremely hearty, "Your mother has never been to the county town, so I will take her to visit you, and by the way, I will have a long experience." ”
The family came, and in April, they took a day off.
No one present was more familiar with the county than her, those high-ranking families, what the pattern was inside, and what the general situation was, she could tell it.
Of course, she didn't show it in front of her family. It is to take everyone shopping, and eat and drink spicy food by the way.
"My mother doesn't have to worry about money, I also have a salary in the palace, and there is a lot of it."
"It's better to save some flowers, your father is preparing to renovate the family house."
"Why bother renovating, go directly to the county seat to rent a house to live in, and do some small business by the way. The second uncle has opened up the situation in the city, and the mother should persuade his father not to stick to those few acres of thin fields. ”
"How can you do it if you don't farm, what you eat and drink if you don't farm. can pull your brothers and sisters up, all because of those few acres of thin fields. "Yuan Li resolutely opposes giving up his family's property, which is simply the behavior of a ruined family.
April looked at his second uncle, "This year's taxes have risen again." ”
The second uncle snorted and took a sip of wine, "Not only have taxes risen, but the weather is obviously hotter than usual." There is a shortage of water in the fields, and this year's harvest will certainly not be as good as last year's. After handing over the summer grain and autumn payment, in the end, it will be a hard year, and there will be no grain left. ”
"You can't do without farming. Full of warehouses, you say yes or no. "Yuan Li's drink ordered Yuan Mancang.
Yuan Mancang looked left and right, "When I leave, my father is left alone at home, and my father's legs are not good." Farming is a bit difficult. It's better to rent it out and find a way out in the city. ”
"You've only eaten the grain of the palace for a few days, and you've forgotten your duty, and you don't even plant fields." Yuan Li is so angry that he can't do it, people have to keep their duty.
What is the duty?
The duty is farming.
What can you do if you don't farm?
Seeing that her mother was about to cry again, the guests at the next table looked at her one after another, and April hurriedly persuaded: "Father and mother will make up their minds together for this matter, and they will continue to plant if they can." ”
Yuan Li stopped his tears at this time, "Your father has no other skills, he can only farm a field." If you let him into the city, what can he do? ”
April hurriedly said another thing, "Mother, let go of the farming in advance." When you go back, tell your dad that you can renovate the house so that it doesn't leak rain, don't build tiles, and don't think about repairing a brick house. The fourth grandfather's family is so rich, and only a few years ago he built a blue brick house. Our family only has a few dollars, and we can't wait to build tiles, what do the people in the village think?
Aren't you afraid that grandma will come to the door again to ask for money and find trouble? Father's temperament, when the time comes, he will be pinched by his grandmother, and the little money in the family can't withstand the disaster. ”
When Yuan Li heard this, his face changed, and he was anxious and angry.
"I have to go back and guard your father. Otherwise, maybe your dad has already been pinched by your milk. ”
April advised: "Don't be in a hurry today. Even if you want to go back, you have to wait until tomorrow. ”
"I can't wait. Second brother, let's go back today. Yuan Li looked dumbfounded, and the food on the table was no longer fragrant.
The second uncle said: "I can only go back to the county seat today, and I can go back to the village tomorrow." ”
"Then go back to the county seat first."
Yuan Li couldn't wait to go back, and set off after lunch.
The second uncle said privately to April: "I left the accounts of the noodle soup shop to Mancang, you have to take a look." ”
"Is the noodle soup shop business okay?"
"It's good, it's just that the price of flour has risen."
April frowned slightly, "I'm afraid the price of rice noodles will continue to rise." If you have spare money in the store, you should reserve more. ”
"It's too hot, so I'm afraid of it."
"Then stock up on a little more wheat and rice. My uncle had to keep an eye on the fluctuations in food prices in the city. In the days to come, food will definitely become more and more expensive. ”
"If the harvest is reduced this year, food prices will definitely become more and more expensive. I'll listen to you, save more food. ”
After saying goodbye to his relatives, he delayed some time in April and then returned to the palace.
……
Inside the palace.
Yang Ze took a sip of the medicine and frowned.
When the maid Shanyu saw it, she hurriedly asked, "Does Lang Jun feel too bitter?" Skip a piece of honey. ”
Yang shook his head, "This medicine doesn't taste right." ”
Shanyu was taken aback on the spot, thinking that there was something wrong with the medicine. I heard Lang Jun say again: "It's not like this in the past, is it a change?" ”
You can even drink it!
"Qi Yu Langjun, I took a day off in April today, and it is said that someone from my family came. Aunt Xu granted her leave. ”
"No wonder." Yang put down the medicine bowl, "Don't drink it." This medicine doesn't taste right. ”
Shanyu wanted to persuade him, but he knew in his heart that no one could persuade anyone to come back from the decision made by Lang Jun.
"It's not the April decoction, it's really famous. Childe took the medicine she decocted, did he feel better? ”
Yang turned the book and put his legs on the embroidery stool and cocked, "It's like that if it's good or not." Guan Daochang said that she was useful, so let's believe it. April came back in a while, and you asked her to come over. ”
"Childe wants to see her?"
"The things that save your life every day still have to be seen. I would like to know what is so peculiar about her, that she can still make a flavor out of a potion of medicine. ”
