The woman was about forty years old, of medium height, white and fat, and her husband's surname was Shi. She said that she was ordered by Hu Xing to give Yu Tang moxibustion.
Yu Tang asked curiously, "Is it good to do moxibustion in my situation?"
It's hard for her to say that she was frightened, but since the Pei family helped find this woman, she must know about her condition.
Mrs. Shi smiled and said: "Of course. Otherwise, Director Hu wouldn't have called me over in a hurry."
It's just that people in Pei's mansion would hire their own family doctors for minor illnesses, and would go to Hangzhou to hire famous doctors for serious illnesses. People like her who know little medical skills can only go from village to village to make a living.
Therefore, Mrs. Shi regards being able to give Yu Tang moxibustion this time as an opportunity to change her life. Not only does she have a very good attitude towards Yu Tang, but she also keeps promoting herself: "The main function of moxibustion is to strengthen the body and prevent some colds." and other minor illnesses. And I also know acupuncture and massage. I am especially good at massage. The wives of wealthy families seldom walk around. After a long time, it is inevitable that the abdomen will become fleshy and fat, and some will Affect fertility. If you do more massages, you can avoid these disadvantages, and you can also strengthen your body... "
She kept talking about the benefits of massage, but Yu Tang didn't feel much about it, but Qing Yuan, who was listening next to her, was very interested. When Mrs. Shi gave Yu Tang moxibustion, she not only asked this and that, but also asked what Mrs. Shi is doing now? Can you usually come to the door
Mrs. Shi's original intention was to earn a living in Pei's mansion in the future. Naturally, she agreed, and took out a bottle of incense dew to Yu Tang: "After moxibustion, it is easy to leave some moxa fragrance on the body. Some people like it very much, and some people like it very much. People don’t like it very much. I saw that Miss Yu frowned from time to time just now, she must not be used to the smell of mugwort. You can wash your hair and take a bath with this dew, and it will immediately eliminate the smell of mugwort. I did it myself. I didn’t do it It can also be used for moxibustion, and there are many other flavors. I came here in a hurry this time, so I only brought this sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance. You can try it first and see if you like it.”
Another very small bottle was given to Qing Yuan, and he said: "This time I came too urgently, this is still not used up last time, please don't be disgusted."
Qing Yuan accepted it with great interest, and put the mouth of the bottle under his nose to smell it, and happily said to Yu Tang, "It's the fragrance of jasmine."
Yu Tang hurriedly said: "Give me a smell too!"
Qing Yuan put the bottle under Yu Tang's nose.
It may be due to the level of craftsmanship, whether it is the sweet-scented osmanthus dew given by Mrs. Shi or this small bottle of jasmine dew, it is not as pleasant as the dew given to her by Miss Xu before. But already very good.
Yu Tang exaggerated and exaggerated.
Mrs. Shi smiled brightly, and said: "After doing moxibustion, you will not be able to get wet for a while, because you are afraid that the cold will enter your body. You can take a shower and wash your hair after an hour or two."
Yu Tang agreed.
Qing Yuan hurriedly helped Yu Tang look at the time-keeping funnel, and told Qing Ping to remember to remind Yu Tang when the time was up.
Qingping smiled and said "yes".
Granny Shi took the opportunity to tell Yu Tang about the pros and cons of acupuncture and moxibustion.
Yu Tang had done moxibustion, and his body was warm, as if he had been ironed by an iron. He was very comfortable, and he just leaned on the big pillow and listened to Mrs. Shi gossiping lazily.
At the Dharma Hall, Master Wu Neng's lecture is almost coming to an end, and he is asking the pilgrims to ask questions and answer their confusion.
Pei Yan stretched her feet calmly.
This incompetent master is just a false name, coaxing those old ladies who have never seen the world.
He glanced at Tao Qing.
It was found that Tao Qing was so bored that he was about to fall asleep.
He couldn't help but secretly smiled.
I'm afraid everyone will be tossed because of Wei Sanfu and Wang Qibao's going to Jiangnan this time.
Pei Yan thought about it, but her thoughts changed.
I don't know how the little girl is doing now? Is it sickly lying on the bed? Or just read picture books at home honestly
Peng Shiyi hasn't left yet, so it's good for her to avoid it for a few days.
Just enough to give her a good rest for a few days.
The image of Yu Tang slumped on the soft sedan chair that day appeared in Pei Yan's mind again.
He suddenly wanted to see the little girl.
It seemed that only in this way could he truly relax.
Pei Yan wondered if he should find an excuse to leave first, but the handkerchief in Gu Xi's hand had already been crumpled into a ball.
Just now the eldest wife asked someone to bring her a message, asking her to have dinner with the eldest wife in the evening, saying that she hadn't seen her for a few days and wanted her to go to be a company.
All the wives, grandmas, and young ladies in the palace envied her good relationship with the eldest wife. But when she saw Pei Lao'an's (human) face as calm as water, and the second wife who was serving beside Pei Lao'an, she felt irritated for a while.
The eldest wife is the eldest daughter-in-law, even if she is a widow, on this occasion, wouldn't it be good to serve Pei Lao'an and be a filial piety? Why do you have to hide in the quiet room and act like a young lady raised in a deep boudoir? I have to call her over too... Isn't the eldest wife afraid of others saying that she doesn't know how to advance and retreat, and has no rules
Gu Xi couldn't refuse, so he had to smile.
However, the second wife said to her with a concerned look: "Sister-in-law has suffered a lot these days. I heard that she ate two of the Suxin big buns delivered at noon. It is rare for her to have such an appetite. It can be seen that it is better to go out for a walk Yes. I have told the kitchen to send more steamed buns later. When you eat with my sister-in-law, please be careful and see what she likes to eat. Next time, I will tell the kitchen."
Gu Xi smiled and bowed his knees to give the second wife a blessing, but in her heart she was slandering the eldest wife, who was also a sister-in-law. Look at the second wife, how good she can talk, and how good she can coax the old An.
No wonder the eldest wife is often talked about by people.
He doesn't know how to be a human being, that's what happens in a big family.
She resigned from Miss Wu and went to the eldest wife.
Who knew that the eldest lady called her here, but she wanted to inquire about Yu Tang: "I heard that a medical woman was arranged to give her moxibustion. This Miss Yu, what is her background? I heard that she lived with you before, you know This person?"
In her opinion, it would be great if Pei Yan could marry such a girl.
In this way, Pei Yan could not get the support of his wife's family.
Gu Xi felt a little unhappy when she heard this, thinking that I asked you to stare at Yu Tang before, but now that Pei Yan attaches so much importance to Yu Tang, she wants to inquire about Yu Tang, and she has to ask for my help.
She respectfully said: "I don't know Miss Yu very well. Although we lived together before, we only lived in two adjacent courtyards. I really don't know what kind of personality Miss Yu has. do not know much."
But what about the doctor
Most of the big families don't like doctors, thinking that they like to tell stories and ruin the peace of the backyard.
The handkerchief in Gu Xi's hand was crumpled again, but she was full of smiles, and said: "Is the doctor really arranged by the third master? Does Old An know?"
If Pei Yan made the arrangement behind Lao An's back, Lao An would definitely be unhappy if he found out.
There are so many opportunities to take advantage of.
It's a pity that the eldest wife was spoiled by Pei You, and she never took this mother-in-law seriously, so she didn't notice Gu Xi's intentions. Not only that, but she seemed rather disappointed that Gu Xi didn't know anything, and she showed it unabashedly, "Are you still used to living in the temple? Do you want me to send two maids to serve you?" day?"
Gu Xi immediately realized that the eldest wife was trying to use her name to act.
She's not that stupid.
You won't get any benefits at all, and you still use your own reputation for the convenience of others.
She smiled and said, "I'm alright. Ms. Wu often comes here, as well as the ladies from the Song family and the Peng family. It's very lively."
That is to say, there are many people on her side.
The eldest wife was even more disappointed.
Gu Xi didn't even want to eat, she just drank a bowl of soup and said she was full, and wanted to leave in a hurry. She suddenly remembered what the second wife said before, she didn't want to be in front of the old An's and the female relatives of Peng and Song. Having lost her reputation and being really disgusting, the eldest lady simply cut to the chase and said, "Are you still used to eating here? I heard that you ate a few extra buns for lunch today. Do you want to ask the kitchen to give you more buns tomorrow?" How many are ready?"
No matter how delicious the Suxin buns in Zhaoming Temple are, the eldest wife is also a person who has seen the world. I don’t pay much attention to living and living. I haven’t eaten the Suxin Dabao in Zhaoming Temple for a long time, so I ate a few more bites.
She said: "It's okay! It's Baizhi next to me. He said that it's hard to get the Suxin big buns in Zhaoming Temple now, and he wants to send some for the family to try. You can send me a big one tomorrow." .”
Baizhi was bought by the eldest wife after she arrived in Lin'an, and she is from Lin'an.
Gu Xi had inquired about the people around the eldest wife, so she naturally knew about Bai Zhi. Thinking that this Bai Zhi was probably working next to the eldest wife, and wanted to take the opportunity to show off.
This is also a small matter.
Who can do it without giving anything in return
People around you should also show kindness and majesty.
She agreed with a smile, and barely said a few words to the eldest wife, then got up to leave.
On the other side, Yu Tang was laughing and laughing.
The second wife and several young ladies from Pei's family came over. Everyone asked her how she was feeling, or asked her if she was not feeling well. They were chattering, and Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang San also came over. The second wife asked about Mrs. Yang San's body again. Mrs. Yang San was answering. Mrs. Chen came in with snacks and candies made by herself. Speaking of Mrs. Shi coming to do moxibustion in the afternoon, the second wife and Mrs. Yang called Qing Yuan in. question...
The laughter spread far in the quiet evening, hurting Gu Xi who was about to go back to his residence.
Gu Xi stood facing the setting sun for a while, then suddenly turned and went to Pei Tong's place.
He Xiang was taken aback, and said: "Miss, what are you going to do? How about I go and tell Eldest Young Master in advance?"
Gu Xi sneered, thinking of Pei Tong standing beside Pei Xuan like an invisible person all day, she started to get angry.
She said: "Go!"
He Xiang ran away quickly.
Soon, Gu Xi met Pei Tong who was walking quickly to meet her.
"What's the matter?" Pei Tong had thin sweat on his forehead, but his voice was still soft, "I'm drinking tea with my second uncle and the suzerains of the family!"
In other words, he came out temporarily from the way of entertainment.
