Chapter 4: Strict Father
(12th year of Wu Zhou)
Before I knew it, another year had passed, and it was the height of summer, and the apricot trees in Hanfu were bearing fruit, and everything looked vibrant. An'er wants to eat the apricot fruit on the tree, but Mei'er is not here, so let's climb up. As soon as one foot touched the trunk of the tree, Mei'er's voice was heard.
Mei'er: "My eldest lady, I can't help it, Madame has commanded, Miss is not allowed to do such a dangerous thing." ”
This Mei'er, the age of An'er is 3 years old. It was her mother who specifically instructed her to be with An'er.
An'er: "I want to eat the apricot fruit on this tree, you see how tempting it is." She pointed to the apricot fruit on the tree.
Mei'er: "Miss is really still a glutton, Miss looks carefully, this apricot fruit is green, and it is clearly unripe." She smiled as she spoke.
An'er: "Mei'er, you laugh at me again and ignore you." With that, An'er walked to the pavilion and sat down.
Mei'er: "Okay, okay, Mei'er shouldn't laugh at Miss, Mei'er knows it's wrong." By the way, Miss, I heard that this year's herbs are very rich, and the Tai Medical Department is very busy. ”
An'er: "Really? In other words, grandfather and father can't come back for a few days? Hearing this, An'er's heart was suddenly lost.
Mei'er: "Yes, but I heard that Miss's aunt will be back." ”
An'er: "My aunt, that's great. Thinking that she is a female official of the court and rarely comes back on weekdays, go, so I will go with me to tell my mother. ”
Mei'er: "Miss, you wait for Mei'er, Miss..."
An'er ran in front, and Mei'er chased behind. An'er ran to her mother's house, and she saw her grandmother talking and laughing with her mother, so An'er walked over.
An'er: "An'er has seen her grandmother and mother. ”
Grandmother: "An'er is here, let grandmother see." An'er walked to her grandmother's side, and her grandmother picked her up.
Grandmother: "In the blink of an eye, our An'er is already twelve years old. It's already a big girl. ”
Mother: "Yes, time flies so fast. "Hey, there's a lot of cloth on this table.
An'er: "What are you doing with so much cloth on the table?" Do you want to make clothes? After that, An'er took the peach-pink flower cloth and said excitedly.
Mother: "Yes, I just discussed with your grandmother that your aunt will come and make her new clothes." ”
An'er: "It's really good that my aunt can come back." ”
Grandmother: "Yes, when you think about it, as a female medicine officer, she rarely goes home." ”
An'er: "Grandfather didn't say that women were not allowed to study medicine, why could my aunt and she study, why An'er couldn't." She pouted.
Grandmother: "Haha, it's really sharp, your aunt is an adult, and An'er is still a child, how can it be the same." ”
Mother: "Our An'er is getting more and more naughty." ”
Mei'er: "Old lady, lady, Fang Cai, young lady almost climbed the tree to pick apricot fruits. It scares me. ”
An'er: "Mei'er, why are you talking about this?" An'er glared at her.
Mother: "This is your father is not here, otherwise it would be time to talk about you again." ”
An'er: "My mother is the best, and I will definitely not tell my father." By the way, brother, is he still locked in the study by his father? ”
Grandmother: "Yes, Feng'er only cares about playing, not studying pharmacology, so he was locked up." ”
An'er: "While my father is away, An'er wants to go and see my brother." ”
Mother: "You want to disturb his study again, in case your father comes back and asks him about his homework, he can't answer, and he should be scolded again." ”
An'er: "It's okay, An'er will come back after seeing her brother, and An'er promises not to disturb him." ”
Grandmother: "Go ahead." ”
With that, An'er walked towards the study, where her grandmother and mother were talking.
Grandmother: "When Feng'er was five years old, the old man came back to the house with An'er, and now twelve years have passed." ”
Mother: "It's just that this child has a special background, and the lord does not allow An'er to get involved in anything related to the palace, otherwise with An'er's ability, he will definitely be a genius in the medical field in the future." Do you know, old lady, when you bathed An'er yesterday, she found a plum blossom-shaped mark on her arm. ”
Grandmother: "Plum blossoms, isn't this the favorite flower of Concubine Yu during her lifetime." You can't let anyone know about this, and you also tell An'er that this mark must never be spoken. ”
Mother: "I know, I'll remind An'er." ”
(Study)
Feng'er was taking a nap on the case, and she didn't know that An'er was standing outside, if her father saw it, it would inevitably be another beating.
Zhengnian chattered, his father actually stood behind An'er, dead Mei'er, didn't he say that his father didn't come back?
I thought that while my father was away, An'er went to visit her brother who was confined in the study, but who expected his father to come back.
Father: "Why don't you stay in the room, what are you doing here?" An'er was startled when she heard her father's voice, and quickly turned around.
An'er: "Father, you're back, An'er misses you so much?" According to my grandmother, the Department of the Imperial Physician has been very busy this year. ”
Father: "Yes, there are a lot of herbs this year, why, it seems that An'er doesn't want to see her father?" ”
An'er: "No, An'er misses her father very much. An'er said loudly, while her father looked into the room.
It's not good, my brother is still asleep in the study, if my father finds out, my brother will inevitably beat him again.
An'er: "Father, An'er has something to give you, why don't you follow An'er..."
Father: "Speaking of which, your mother said you had the idea of beating my almond tree again?" ”
An'er: "I was also hooked by the refreshing sweetness of this apricot tree, and I won't next time." ”
Father: "Okay, come in with me and see the wind." ”
An'er: "Father..."The father walked straight in, An'er followed behind his father, but unexpectedly, his brother was still asleep at the desk, and his father walked over, picked up a bamboo slip and threw it on Feng'er, Feng'er stood up suddenly. He rubbed his eyes, looked up and saw that it was his father, and immediately refreshed.
Father: "I asked you to come to the study to warm your books, but you met Zhou Gong in your dreams." ”
Feng'er whispered to An'er: "Father is here, and you don't call me." ”
An'er just talked so loudly with her father just to wake up her brother. Forget it, it's hard for my father to say anything here.
Father: "Can you read the book?" ”
Feng'er: "Wen... I've read the book, but it's just now..."
Father: "Okay, since you said that you have read the book, I will ask you." Father sat down.
Brother, he stood in front of his father, and he looked at An'er. knew that Feng'er wanted An'er to help him, because An'er was very talented in medical skills, so he secretly reviewed it during the absence of his father and grandfather.
However, his grandfather and father were very opposed to An'er's study of medicine, saying that women did not practice medicine. But obviously my aunt is the female medicine officer.
Father: "What are the herbs involved in the Shangjing wood in the Shennong Materia Medica?" ”
Feng'er: "Yes... Poria cocos..."My brother couldn't answer.
Father: "This is called Wen Guoshu, this is the simplest pharmacology, believe it or not, even An'er knows this." "What, father, he actually knew that An'er secretly read books.
An'er: "Father, you all know, An'er is indeed interested in medical books, so she will peek at them." Ask my father to punish him. ”
Father: "Eager to learn, that's right, it's a pity that you are a daughter's family, but it's okay, you tell Feng'er." What are the medicinal herbs in this upper scripture wood? ”
An'er: "There are Mu Gui, Fungus Cinnamon, Pine Resin, Huai Fruit...... Tangerine grapefruit. ”
Father: "Feng'er, you saw it. Although I don't let An'er ask about medical skills, she is much more diligent than you. As an older brother, shouldn't you..."
Feng'er: "Now that I know my father, I must step up my reading and work hard." ”
Father: "Okay, this is a good man of our Han family, An'er, let's go." "Say goodbye, An'er followed her father out of the study.
The wind in the room pondered something, and simply muttered to herself.
Feng'er: "My father is most opposed to my sister's involvement in medicine, and my father is very calm today, could it be..."
Grandmother: "Your father didn't tell you to warm your books in the study, why did you come to me?" ”
Feng'er: "Grandmother is not good, just now my father came back, he asked me about the content of the medicine book, but I didn't answer, my father asked An'er, and An'er said it." ”
Grandmother: "You don't work as hard as your sister." ”
Feng'er: "Didn't my father forbid An'er to touch the medical arts, I saw my father take An'er to the direction of the ancestral hall." ”
Grandmother: "Oh no, help me through." ”
An'er followed her father out of the study, but she always felt that her father's face was wrong. Until his father brought An'er to the ancestral hall.
Father: "Get down on your knees." The father scolded. An'er knelt down.
Father: "I said that you were forbidden to read medical books and ask about medical science, but you didn't listen to it." I also went to see it secretly. ”
An'er: "An'er knows it's wrong, An'er really wants to learn pharmacology with an open mind." ”
Father: "I'm still quibbling, it seems that I have to ask for family law today." ”
The father took out the 'family law' on the altar, and it seemed that the person who was going to be beaten was An'er. With a wave of his father's hand, this 'family law' fell heavily on An'er.
Father: "I just want you to remember that what I say will never change. The pain was so painful that An'er's tears were left directly. Then the father raised his hand again.
Grandmother: "Stop, you can't fight!" ”
Father: "Mother, why are you here?" ”
Grandmother: "If I don't come again, you'll kill my good granddaughter." ”
Father: "I just..."
Grandmother: "An'er is only twelve years old, so she can bear you to beat like this." Feng'er, don't help your sister up. ”
Brother, he helped An'er up, and An'er sobbed quietly.
Grandmother: "Take your sister to get some medicine, I have something to tell your father." ”
Feng'er: "Yes, grandmother. He carried An'er on his back and walked away.
In the ancestral hall of the house, grandmother and father were talking.
Grandmother: "You forgot An'er's identity, but you promised to take good care of her." ”
Father: "But once she is involved in this medical skill, it is inevitable that she will have trouble in the future." ”
Grandmother: "I know, you're doing it for her good, but if you do this, she'll be safe in the future?" It's rare that she is very talented in pharmacology, and you are really so ruthless. ”
Father: "This matter was decided by my father back then, since you said so, I will talk to my father." ”
Grandmother: "Okay, I just wish you could teach her in a different way." By the way, your sister will be back in a few days, so get ready. ”
Father: "Got it, mother." ”
(Harem)
The elder brother carried An'er to his mother's house.
Mother: "What's the matter?" ”
Feng'er: "My father came back just now, and he asked me about pharmacology, but I didn't answer, but my sister answered." Her father took her to the ancestral hall and used the family method. ”
Mother: "What? He was so ruthless. "My mother endured giving An'er medicine.
An'er: "I don't blame my father, after all, I disobeyed his instructions." It's just that An'er doesn't understand why I am so gifted in medicine, why my father and grandfather don't allow me to learn it? ”
Mother: "Anyway, they have their own reasons for doing this. The medicine is good, I remember you said that you wanted to eat apricot fruit, so you specially asked someone to buy some. ”
The mother handed An'er an apricot fruit, and An'er ate it happily, completely forgetting the pain on her body.
An'er: "This apricot fruit is really delicious, by the way, I'll take some and send it to my father in the evening." ”
Mother: "It's rare that your child has this filial piety, so send it over at night." ”
An'er: "Hmm. ”
In the evening, An'er came to her father's study with apricot fruit, but she didn't expect An'er to hear such a conversation...
