Chu Lian's eyes widened in surprise, is this the big housekeeper of Zheng Guogong's Mansion mistaken, please, she is not a doctor, she doesn't know medical skills, and she doesn't have any golden fingers, how can she save old Zheng Guogong?

Mrs. He was also puzzled, but when she saw that the housekeeper of Zheng Guogong's Mansion who was crawling at her feet didn't seem to be cheating, the anxiety and sadness on her face couldn't be pretended.

"What's going on? San Lang's daughter-in-law doesn't know how to use medicine, how can she save the old man?"

Hearing Mrs. He ask, the housekeeper of the Duke of Zheng Guo's Mansion had a moment of confusion on his face, but it was not a way to hide it, and in the end, he honestly told Mrs. He and Chu Lian the reason.

Until Chu Lian had already gotten into the carriage to Zheng Guogong's mansion, his mind was still dizzy.

This is really a "strange story through the ages", who would have thought that the old Zheng Guogong's illness would be tossed out because he couldn't eat the food he wanted......

No wonder Zheng Guogong's mansion kept it a secret, and he didn't dare to reveal any rumors, and only said that the old Zheng Guogong was old, in poor health, and bedridden.

If the upper class of Shengjing knew that the old Zheng Guogong was on a hunger strike because he was too picky, his health would not be as good as day by day, and if he didn't make people laugh at his big teeth, Zheng Guogong's Mansion would instantly become the laughing stock of the nobles in Beijing.

The corners of Chu Lian's forehead twitched, old Zheng Guogong is really a rich and noble disease......

Chu Lian also understood why the old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion came out of the palace that day, and why she was so eager to invite her.

However, since it is for this reason that she came here, Chu Lian is not a cold-hearted person, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and the person who saves it is still the old Zheng Guogong, who is quite famous in Beijing.

But she can't say anything to death, she just promised the housekeeper of Zheng Guogong's mansion to do her best.

Even so, the housekeeper thanked him as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

Looking at Chu Lian's behavior in front of him, Mrs. He nodded secretly, San Lang's daughter-in-law is a kind-hearted person, but she is not blindly soft-hearted, she knows her depth, and she has not been reckless, although she is lazy on weekdays, but when she encounters major events, her ability to take the helm is good.

On the way to Zheng Guogong's mansion, Chu Lian was not idle.

She first asked the old Zheng Guogong, the chief housekeeper of Zheng Guogong's mansion, about his dietary preferences, and then asked about the physical condition of the old Zheng Guogong, and after careful consideration, she made a preliminary decision on what dishes to make.

The housekeeper got the order of the Jinyi Xiangjun, and immediately ordered an entourage who followed him to hurry back to the house to prepare the ingredients that the Xiangjun said.

He Lao Taijun and Chu Lian arrived at the Zhengguo Mansion two quarters of an hour later.

As soon as he got off the carriage at the second gate, he was personally welcomed into the backyard by Mrs. Zheng Guo and into the bedroom of the old Zheng Guogong.

When Zheng Shizi returned home, he only saw a few more carriages parked at the second gate, and the small maid in the stable at home was taking care of the extra horses.

Xiao Bojian flipped off the horse, swept his eyes, and said strangely: "Tiansheng, this seems to be the carriage of Jing'anbo Mansion." ”

Zheng Shizi took a closer look at the emblem on the carriage, and it was true, Zheng Shizi only knew that his grandfather's health was not good, and it had become more and more serious in the past two days, but his parents did not confess to him the real reason why his grandfather was seriously ill, so Zheng Shizi was still kept in the dark.

He glanced at Chang Sui who was following him, and the clever Chang Sui quickly went to inquire, and came back after a while and whispered a few words in Zheng Shizi's ear.

Zheng Shizi was surprised, "Brother Xiao, it was the old lady of Jing'anbo Mansion and the gentleman of Jinyi Township who came to the mansion." ”

Xiao Bojian was also a little surprised, and at the same time there was a faint sweetness in his heart, look, he still has a relationship with Lian'er, he came to Zheng Guogong's Mansion today, and he met her.

Although Zheng Shizi is still thinking about the food made by Jinyi Xiangjun, but his grandfather's body is not as good as day by day these days, and he is not in much mood, but after all, he ate the dishes made by Jinyi Xiangjun that day, so he plans to thank him in person if he meets him in the backyard.

Xiao Bojian's eyes moved, although he didn't say anything, but his heart instantly had a measurement.

Although Xiao Bojian and Zheng Shizi are friends, they are foreign men after all, and they can't easily enter the backyard of Zheng Guogong's mansion.

He often comes to Zheng Guogong's Mansion as a guest, but rarely sets foot in the backyard, most of the time he goes to the study in the front yard of Zheng Guogong's Mansion with Zheng Shizi, and this time is no exception.

The old lady of Zheng Guogong's Mansion was already looking anxiously at the gate of the courtyard, and greeted Mrs. He and Chu Lian as soon as she saw them.

When he got closer, he took Mrs. He's hand and burst into tears, "Old sister, I've finally looked forward to you!"

Mrs. He patted her hands and said with relief: "You're welcome, let's go first to see the old man, and then you can talk to San Lang's daughter-in-law about the taboo in the mouth of the old man." ”

The old lady Zheng Guo wiped her tears, nodded vigorously, and led Chu Lian and the old lady into the inner room.

Old Zheng Guogong was indeed not lightly ill, Xu was asleep, dreaming, and his mouth was still unconsciously chattering, but his voice was hoarse and weak, Chu Lian leaned into his ear to understand what he said.

couldn't help but have a black line on the forehead, the life of this old man who stepped into the coffin was about to be gone, and what he dreamed of was "oranges, fat crabs, ......"

How much he loves to eat!

Chu Lian didn't know how to cut the pulse, let alone understand the medical theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and the imperial doctor who was next to him to diagnose the pulse of Lao Guogong was still waiting, so Chu Lian carefully inquired about the taboos on the diet of the old man's current condition, and waited until they were all asked clearly, so he led Xiyan and Mingyan to the small kitchen prepared in advance by Zheng Guogong's mansion.

There are all kinds of ingredients in the kitchen, and many of them have just been sent in according to Chu Lian's previous instructions, and they are all top fresh ingredients.

At this time, it is autumn, the crab meat is fat and fragrant, and the oranges are also ripe, no wonder the old Zheng Guogong, a gourmet, will talk about these two things.

Since he was thinking about these two things, Chu Lian already had a plan in his heart, it was better to make a crab stuffed orange.

Seeing a doctor should be treated with the right medicine, and cooking should also be done to his liking.

The crab stuffed orange method is not complicated, the main thing is to choose the best fresh orange and fat crab, the crab here is complete, but the fresh and full yellow orange is not.

Let Xiyan immediately notify the mother-in-law guarding outside to find the best fresh oranges, and it is not difficult to find fresh oranges when they are on the market at this time.

The mother-in-law and the two little maids hurriedly ran to the front yard to find the housekeeper who bought the goods.

Chu Lian personally handled the crabs, dug up the crab paste, and instructed Xi Yan to lay his hands on the side, and Ming Yan to boil ginseng porridge.

Soon, the crabs were dealt with, and the woman also sent Chu Lian over the fresh oranges he needed.

Fresh orange orange yellow, yellow and clear, exuding a fruity aroma, uniform shape, you can know that it is a good orange at a glance. These oranges should be cut one by one, the flesh in the center should be dug out, and then the stuffing stirred with crab meat, pork, water chestnuts, minced ginger, rice wine, etc., should be filled, covered with the original cut orange slices, and steamed in the basket drawer.

The mother-in-law who delivered the ingredients didn't dare to stay in the small kitchen to watch, and led the little maids to the outside of the small kitchen with her head down.

Xi Yan washed the yellow oranges one by one and handed them to Chu Lian, in order to enhance the appetite of the eater, Chu Lian even carefully carved a simple pattern on the orange peel first, and then cut the orange, when the third was cut, suddenly the knife edge was knocked, Chu Lian frowned, picked up the orange and broke it, and actually found a slender iron pipe at the heart of the orange!

Xi Yan's eyes suddenly widened, and her face was full of shock.

On the contrary, it was Chu Lian, who was only slightly stunned, and had already calmed down, she glanced at Xi Yan, and then looked at Ming Yan who was busy stewing porridge on the stove on the other side, and signaled Xi Yan not to make a sound.

Chu Lian's slender fingers swung the thin iron pipe twice, and then he found the mechanism, and with a soft click, the iron pipe opened, and inside was a thin note that was rolled up.

The reason why Chu Lian is so familiar is because it has long been described in the original text, Xiao Bojian likes to pass news to Chu Lian like this, and he has used this special slender iron pipe.

Before he could open the rolled note, Chu Lian saw the word "Xiao" the size of a grain of rice on the outside of the note.

Sure enough, it was the news that Xiao Bojian handed her!

Why is this Xiao Bojian so self-inflicted, and his ghost is still lingering, Chu Lian is really angry.

Immediately, he was in no mood to look at what was written in this note, and in front of Xi Yan, he threw the note that had not yet been opened into the fire chamber under the stove along with the slender iron pipe, and the sparks in the fire chamber flashed slightly, and the small note was turned into ashes.

Xi Yan saw Chu Lian do this with her own eyes, and she also breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart, she knew that her master had no idea about Xiao Gongzi, and her master's decision was right.

She is now the third grandmother of Jing'an Bo Mansion, although she is not the mother of a big house, but she is also the mother of a house, and now she is the king of Jinyi Township, and the master has no quarrel with the world, but the responsibility and reputation on her shoulders cannot be removed, and besides, except for the fact that the uncle went to the north, there is no place to be sorry for the third grandmother. Not to mention that the uncle is good-looking, just the family style of the He family is also worth maintaining by his own master. Those noble ladies who marry into the high gate rarely have to face their husband's concubines after marriage.

That's enough to make a lot of noise.

And He Saburo was born well, I don't know how many grades higher than Xiao Gongzi.

It's all to blame on this Xiao Gongzi, their young lady has been married a long time ago, why are they still sucking like leeches!

Xi Yan hated Xiao Bojian in her heart, but she was a generous and gentle maid, but she greeted the eighteenth generation of Xiao Bojian's ancestors in her heart.

Chu Lian glanced at Xiyan and told her calmly and softly: "Just don't see it." ”

Xi Yan nodded.

Afterwards, Chu Lian continued to deal with the remaining yellow oranges as if he had nothing to do.

An hour later, the ginseng porridge that warms the body and stomach and the fragrant crab stuffed orange are ready, and Chu Lian specially mixed two refreshing side dishes with his own hands.

Old Zheng Guogong has been bedridden for a long time, and he has been on a hunger strike for several days, and he can't eat those hard vegetables, but this time she chose these things are just right.

Chu Lian cleaned up, took the maid and the food box and hurried to the old Zheng Guogong's bedroom.

In the study in the front yard of Zheng Guogong's mansion, Zheng Shizi had already gone to the backyard, leaving Xiao Bojian alone.

There are many books in the study in the front yard of Zheng Guogong's mansion, and Xiao Bojian often comes here to borrow books, and at this time, a guard armor that often wears clothes whispered a few words in Xiao Bojian's ear.

Xiao Bo Jian Jun's face wrinkled, with a slight anger, "What, she burned the note before she even read it?"

The armor stood respectfully to the side with his head bowed.

Xiao Bojian's chest rose and fell in anger, and he leaned back on the boxwood chair and closed his eyes for a long time before calming his anger.

Why are you so stupid, you just don't believe me! You know what I wrote in the note I gave you!

Xiao Bojian thought bitterly and helplessly in his heart, he really wanted to catch that annoying little woman in front of him and bully her.
