On the morning of the 27th, a strong smell of medicine came from the madam’s room.
Xiaohong held a cattail leaf fan in her hand and kept fanning the brazier.
The eldest lady said: Xiaohong, you are tired from squatting and fanning the fire. Go and move a low stool and sit down to fan the fire.
"Thank you, madam! It's good for me to fan you like this." Xiaohong thanked:
The eldest lady went over and picked up the teapot and called: Xiaohong, let me pour you a cup of tea. There is so much sweat on your forehead.
"Madam, you can't do it!" Xiao Hong responded:
"How can we not do it! We are not an ordinary master-servant relationship. Now, we are good partners sitting on the same boat. We should support each other, help each other, and depend on each other." The eldest lady argued:
Xiaohong looked at Madam and said: Madam, I will help you realize your wish as soon as possible.
The eldest lady handed over a cup of tea and shouted: Xiaohong, here it is!
Xiaohong took the tea - took a sip and shouted: I will fan (Xiaohong picked up the cattail leaf fan and fanned it hard).
"Xiaohong, you don't need to fan so fast." The eldest lady shouted:
"Madam, please go farther away. I'm fanning you. Be careful not to get dust all over your body." Xiao Hong replied:
"puff"
Xiaohong put down the cattail leaf fan and said, "The medicine is already boiling. I'll simmer it over warm fire for a while."
The eldest lady sat on the stool and asked: Xiaohong, these days, when you go to deliver tonics to Xueer, what is her attitude towards you?
"Much better than before." Xiaohong replied:
The eldest lady thought for a while and responded: That's very good!
"Xiaohong, should we add some ingredients!" The eldest lady continued:
"Madam, what do you mean!" Xiaohong continued:
The eldest lady looked at the medicine jar and said: This opportunity must not be missed and it will never come again...
"Miss Xue'er, your complexion has improved a lot. It seems that the tonic given by the eldest lady has had a lot of effect." Qianqian called:
Xueer turned her face sideways and said nothing.
The third lady said: I don’t know how to make the tonic for my eldest sister! Take some time, I want to go over and learn.
"Third Madam, when you were pregnant last time, the medicinal porridge you drank was also cooked by Xiaohong. The eldest lady told me at that time that it was a family heirloom of Xiaohong's family. Xiaohong would not pass it on. You go over there. Ask her for the production method, will she give it or not? The eldest lady will also do it!" Aiju said:
The third lady then said: Sister Aiju is right!
"Then again, the medicinal porridge cooked by Xiaohong is indeed delicious." The third lady continued:
Qianqian asked: Mom, what is the difference between the tonic Miss Xueer drinks and that kind of medicinal porridge?
"What do you think? Medicinal porridge is porridge made with medicine, and tonics are some decoctions." Aiju replied:
The third lady responded: I think so! There are some things in common between them. First, they have the same smell, with a light fragrance. Second, the soup they boil has the same color, which is yellow.
"The third lady observed carefully enough that I didn't even notice it!" Aiju praised:
The third lady replied: Sister Aiju, thank you very much. I can have such experience because I have drunk it.
otherwise······
"Dong dong dong"
Qianqian ran forward and opened the door.
"The master just went to discuss business, why did he come back so soon!" Aiju called:
The third lady then said: The person outside is not the master.
Aiju replied: I think so.
"Miss Xue'er, your tonic is here." Qianqian shouted:
Xiaohong held the tonic and said: Qianqian, please move forward a little, don't knock over the tonic.
Qianqian turned around and shouted: Aunt Xiaohong, give me the tonic and let me feed Miss Xueer.
Xiaohong carefully placed the tonic in Qianqian's hand.
Qianqian blew the tonic and fed Xueer spoon by spoon.
"Xiaohong, you can go." Aiju called:
Xiaohong then said: I'll sit down for a while and take the bowl back.
"Aunt Xiaohong, I heard from the third lady that the medicinal porridge you made is delicious..." Qianqian said:
Xiaohong smiled and said: It's normal! generally!
"I want to find some medicinal materials and try making them myself." Qianqian responded:
"You can't try this casually. Some medicinal materials are harmful to the human body. Just in case..." Xiaohong replied:
Aiju replied: What if?
Xiao Hong said hesitantly: If the match is not good, it will hurt his life.
"Aunt Xiaohong, hold the bowl." Qianqian handed the bowl and shouted:
Xiaohong took the bowl and bowed: Third Madam, Miss Xueer, the servant has left.
Qianqian pointed forward and said, "Aunt Xiaohong, please!"
"Miss Xue'er, please go over there and sit for a while." Aiju walked up to Xue'er and called:
Xue'er shook her head and said: "I won't sit down."
"Sister Aiju, come here! Let Xue'er be quiet there." The third lady called:
"Dr. Liu, you're here." Qianqian stood at the door of the room - seeing Dr. Liu coming towards her, she said:
Dr. Liu replied: I was bored sitting alone in the room, so I wanted to go out and walk around.
I walked.
Suddenly I thought of Miss Xueer...
"Hello, Doctor Liu!" Xiao Hongli said:
Dr. Liu replied: Hello Xiaohong!
"Qianqian, you guys talk, I'm leaving first!" Xiaohong said:
Qianqian said: Aunt Xiaohong, walk slowly!
Xiaohong picked up her feet and kept walking forward.
"Hmm! What does it smell like! Why is it so pungent!" Dr. Liu covered his nose and called out:
Qianqian said: It is the tonic flavor given to Miss Xueer by the eldest lady.
Miss Cher drank it!
Doctor Liu asked: What tonic?
Qianqian continued: Aunt Xiaohong’s home remedies will not be shared with others.
"How come I haven't heard of it! What kind of folk remedies does she have?" Dr. Liu asked in confusion:
Qianqian replied: The recipe is passed down from generation to generation, and she won’t talk nonsense about it.
Dr. Liu smiled and said: Really!
"Doctor Liu, please come into the room to talk!" Qianqian asked:
"What is Qianqian doing! Why hasn't she come back after being gone for so long?" Aiju said:
The third lady responded: She was probably asking Xiaohong about the medicinal porridge...
Aiju replied: Impossible! She knew that Xiaohong would not take it easy!
"Mom, what are you talking about!" Qianqian shouted:
Aiju said: I'm talking about you being outside for so long and still not coming in!
"Hello, Third Madam! Hello, Miss Xue'er!" Dr. Liu said politely:
The third lady raised her head and said with a smile: Uncle Liu, sit over there! Sit over there!
Doctor Liu asked: "Third Madam, please!" Third lady, please!
"Dr. Liu, drink tea." Aiju handed over a cup of tea and called:
Dr. Liu took the tea and called: Qianqian, bring Miss Xueer here.
The third lady asked: Uncle Liu, what happened to Xueer?
"No, no, no, I'll come over to check." Dr. Liu replied:
The third lady patted her chest and said: I thought...
"Doctor Liu, please diagnose me!" Qianqian took Xueer's hand and shouted:
"Please ask Miss Xue'er to sit down." Dr. Liu called:
Doctor Liu felt Xue'er's pulse and said: Miss Xue'er's pulse has become much more stable. You should communicate with her more often. Her condition may return to normal at any time.
The third lady clasped her hands together and said thank you: Thank you! Thanks! Sister’s tonics are really amazing.
"Third Madam, Miss Xueer's condition is mainly caused by her mood, not medicine..." Dr. Liu said:
Aiju dragged Dr. Liu aside and asked: Dr. Liu, what do you think of this tonic?
Dr. Liu replied: I just heard about tonics. I know nothing about tonics...
"Dr. Liu, can you check the ingredients in the tonic!" Qianqian interrupted:
Dr. Liu continued: If we want to find out the tonic matter, I need to have the remaining tonics.
Or, you can find the remaining medicinal residue.
"That's right!" Aiju nodded and responded:
"Madam, when I came back from delivering medicine, I happened to bump into Dr. Liu..." Xiaohong pinched Madam's back and said:
The eldest lady turned her head and shouted: What!
"Don't worry, madam! Doctor Liu didn't find anything! It can't find anything either!" Xiao Hong continued to pinch the eldest lady's back and called:
The eldest lady then said: I am worrying too much. He can't find any clues about our things.
"Madam, you still feel a little uneasy, don't you?" Xiaohong said:
The eldest lady replied: That is natural.
Our plan - seamless.
But it's not watertight.
"Madam's concerns are not unreasonable. In order to dispel your doubts, I decided to put on a show for them so that they would willingly jump into the trap we set." Xiao Hong continued:
The eldest lady asked: Xiaohong, what do you want to do?
Xiaohong whispered in the ear of the eldest lady and said: Madam, I will... tomorrow
"Auntie, Xue'er and I will go and play with Lan'er and Kai'er, okay?" Qianqian called:
The third lady responded: Why are you looking for them to play with? You are here with Xueer.
"Auntie, Doctor Liu said that Xue'er should communicate more with the outside world, and her illness will get better faster." Qianqian argued:
Aiju then said: Dr. Liu said that Xueer can't hide in the room all the time. She needs to go outside and be active with others...
"Sister Aiju, let's go for a walk in the garden." The third lady said:
"Third Madam, please!" Aiju asked:
"Qianqian, you and Xue'er go first." The third lady called:
"Auntie, I'm going to ask Lan'er and Kai'er to play in the garden together." Qianqian helped Xue'er and walked straight out the door.
The third lady called out: Sister Aiju, let me go and I will go by myself.
Aiju lets go of the third lady.
The third lady held up the hem of her skirt and hurriedly followed.
Aiju reminded: Third Madam, look at your feet.
"Miss Lan'er, Master Kai'er, come out quickly, let's go over there and play." Qianqian shouted:
Lan'er jumped out and said with a smile: Sister Xue'er is here, sister Xue'er is here.
Xue'er hugged Lan'er and smiled silly.
"Sister Xue'er, why don't you speak?" Lan'er asked:
Qianqian continued: Sister Xueer has a sore throat and she cannot speak.
"Sister Xue'er, sister Xue'er, I want to hug you too." Kai'er walked out of the door and shouted:
Nanny Zhu and Nanny Li came out together and said together: "Master Kai'er, let me hold you."
"Master Kai'er, come to me and I'll play hide-and-seek with you!" Qianqian opened her hands and shouted:
Kai'er walked towards Qianqian and said, "Sister-in-law Qianqian, hug me."
Qianqian picked up Kai'er and shouted: Let's go!
"Third Madam, please go over there and sit for a while." Aiju called:
The third lady held on to the side rails and replied, "It's more comfortable for me to stand."
"Third Madam, I'll go inside and make a pot of tea..." Aiju said:
"Sister Aiju, go back quickly." The third lady said:
"Mother, mother." Lan'er and Kai'er shouted together:
The third lady said: You are lazy again, you don’t even want to walk, and you still need someone to carry you.
Lan'er kissed Xue'er and said: Sister Xue'er finally hugged me.
Xue'er put down Lan'er, turned around and hid behind the pillar.
Qianqian went over to hug Xue'er and called out: "Miss Xue'er, don't be afraid, she is your sister Lan'er."
"Xue'er, Lan'er and the others won't hurt you. They both like you very much and call you - sister." The third lady came to Xue'er and said:
Xueer stared at the third lady, trembling all over.
The third lady shouted: Nanny Li, Nanny Zhu, take Kai'er and Lan'er back.
Lan'er continued: I won't go back.
Kaier said coquettishly: I want to hide and seek, I want to hide and seek.
The third lady shouted: Go back.
"I won't leave, I won't leave." Lan'er struggled:
Nanny Li hugged Lan'er and said: Miss Lan'er, let's leave quickly, your mother will be angry.
Kai'er cried: My mother is bad, my mother is bad.
"Third Madam, Master, why are they leaving here?" Aiju asked, holding a pot of tea:
"Sister Aiju, Xue'er!" The third lady frowned deeply and said:
Aiju glanced at Xue'er and asked: What happened to Miss Xue'er?
Qianqian replied: Miss Laner kissed her and she...
"Put down the young master and the others." Aiju shouted to the nannies:
Aiju added: Miss Xueer is a conditioned reflex and she has no other problems.
Qianqian asked: What is conditioned reflex?
Aiju explained: Conditioned reflex is! It means that things that have been done are reappeared in front of oneself.
Qianqian scratched her forehead and said: Why didn't I understand?
"It's okay if you don't understand. You will understand later." Aiju responded:
The third lady picked up Xue'er and called out: "Xue'er, you and Sanniang go over there to play."
"Third Madam, you drink tea." Aiju shouted:
Xue'er reached out to grab the tea cup and muttered: "I want it."
The third lady smiled and said: Xueer, drink, drink...
