"Hey." Chu Yue and the others left Li Zheng's house. She looked at Lu Dagui who was staring at the money in his hand. "Brother Dagui, the price of food in the town changes every day. If you want to buy, you have to go early." It’s too late, I’m afraid it will still increase.”
After Lu Dagui heard this, he ran home and said, "Then I'll go now."
Chu Yue and Lu Xinghe returned home. After talking to Yun Cuihe, they went to look for Zhang Zheng in the house.
"Girl, I'm afraid I'll have to leave for a few months as a teacher." After the explanation in the afternoon, Zhang Zheng suddenly said to Chu Yue.
Chu Yue was slightly stunned.
"Master is leaving? When?"
Although she was reluctant to part with her, there was no way a master like the master would really stay in one place for a long time. He had taught her enough this time.
Zhang Zhengfuxu said, "Well, I have to leave. There is an important patient who has to go for follow-up consultation, but there is no rush. I can still stay here for half a month. The next time I come, I'm afraid it won't be until next year."
Chu Yue looked at Zhang Zheng and said with a slight nasal voice, "The master must keep his word. He must come next year."
Zhang Zheng laughed, "Of course, if nothing else, Master is still talking about your cooking skills. Master has never tasted the roasted whole lamb, hot pot, beggar's chicken, and Mapo tofu that you mentioned before. When next year comes, we can’t be stingy.”
Chu Yue covered her mouth and smiled, "Tomorrow I will make a beggar's chicken for Master to try, but for the rest, I am afraid it will be difficult to get the ingredients this year, so I have to wait until next year."
Zhang Zheng had no intention of embarrassing Chu Yue at all. He waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Master can wait for it."
Because Shen Zhixue took Mrs. Shen to the Zhuangzi in Luojiagou to recuperate, it was much closer from home. It only took a quarter of an hour by mule cart to arrive. The Shen family's Zhuangzi was easy to find. From a distance, I saw a misty place. The courtyard of the foggy blue brick house will tell you where you are.
The mule cart drove along the smooth mountain road to the courtyard gate of the blue brick house. Chu Yue jumped off the mule cart and knocked on the courtyard door. To her surprise, it was not Shen Zhixue who opened the door. , but Shen Zhixia, who I had met once before in Shen Mansion.
When Shen Zhixia saw Chu Yue, her expression was much colder than that of Shen Zhixue, "Miss Chu, please come in, mother is still waiting in the room."
Chu Yue said nothing and entered the main room under the guidance of Shen Zhixue's personal maid.
In the room, after Shen Zhixue covered Mrs. Shen with a quilt, she looked at Chu Yue apologetically.
"Miss Chu, I'm really sorry today. When you came just now, I was washing my mother's body, so I didn't go to greet you. My sister wasn't rude to you, was she?"
"That's not true." Chu Yue stepped forward and looked at Mrs. Shen, "Mrs. Shen's face looks better than yesterday. It seems that this Zhuangzi is really a good place."
Because there is a hot spring in this village, the courtyard and the courtyard are warmer than other places.
Shen Zhixue smiled and said, "Yes, as soon as you two left yesterday, I went to tell my father that I would take my mother to this village to recuperate, and he agreed without even thinking about it."
While Chu Yue took Mrs. Shen's pulse, she asked, "The Fourth Miss Shen outside is also here to take care of Mrs. Shen?"
After hearing this, the smile on Shen Zhixue's face disappeared, and she lowered her head to hide the helplessness on her face.
"As long as she doesn't help, I don't expect her to take care of me."
Chu Yue understood that although she had never been exposed to the things in the big family, she had heard about them to some extent. However, Mrs. Shen was her patient, and it would be bad if something bad happened to her.
"As the saying goes, a thief can only be a thief in a thousand days, but there is no guard against a thief in a thousand days. Now that Mrs. Shen's body has not recovered, Miss Shen must not allow others to take advantage of her."
Shen Zhixue was a little surprised by Chu Yue's transparency.
"It means that my father is soft-hearted. She asked her to come with her when she said she wanted to come with him. He really thought that she would serve the mistress. I don't know about medicine. I am really afraid of what she will do. If the girl is harmed, I Even if he dies, he will not be able to escape the blame."
Looking at the helplessness on her face, Chu Yue hesitated slightly and took out a small medicine bag from her bag.
"The stuff in this medicine bag is called itching powder. Miss Shen can act according to the situation. Just a little bit of it can cause people to itch for three days. It's very similar to the symptoms of acclimatization."
This medicine pack was prepared by her for self-defense, but she didn't expect that it would come in handy.
Hearing Chu Yue's last words, Shen Zhixue's eyes lit up. She took the medicine bag and was about to kneel down towards Chu Yue, but she held her back.
"Miss Shen, please don't do this. I just want to protect myself."
Shen Zhixue took Chu Yue's hand and said, "Sister Chu understands the righteousness well and is very close to me. From now on, we will treat each other as sisters. I was born in the twelfth lunar month of the thirteenth year of Jingyuan. I should be older than you. You can call me Call me sister."
Chu Yue smiled generously, "Then I will call you Sister Shen from now on."
"Why."
The two of them bowed each other before Chu Yue sat down by the bed and took out a silver needle to perform acupuncture on Mrs. Shen.
After the acupuncture, she took out a silver needle and handed it to Shen Zhixue, "In the future, Sister Shen can use the silver needle to test everything she eats at Zhuangzi. Now that Aunt Shen is sick, she is afraid that others will What kind of evil thoughts are there?"
"Sister, thank you for your trouble."
Shen Zhixue hurriedly took the silver needle handed over by Chu Yue, carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in her sleeve pocket. Then she slipped the jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Chu Yue's hand.
"This bracelet was bought from Baohe Zhai in the county town with more than thirty or two months of silver I saved when I was twelve years old. Although it is not a very expensive item, I have always worn it, so I will give it to you today. My sister."
Chu Yue hurriedly shied away, "Sister Shen's bracelet is too expensive. I can't have it. When I diagnosed Aunt Shen before, the Shen family had already paid for the consultation."
However, Shen Zhixue held her hand and said without explanation.
"Sister, listen to me, the Shen family is the Shen family, and I am me. Since we are called sisters now, this bracelet lunch is a meeting gift for you as my sister. If you refuse, you will not recognize me. Sister."
She had already said it because of this, but if Chu Yue still resisted, it would look like she was a petty person.
She stroked the bracelet on her wrist and nodded slightly towards Shen Zhixue, "Then thank you Sister Shen for the gift."
Although Mrs. Shen was temporarily speechless while lying on the bed, she agreed with her daughter's approach from the bottom of her heart. She had seen more ghosts and monsters than Shen Zhixue, but she could also tell that the little girl who gave her acupuncture these days was a good person. of.
It would only be beneficial to get to know more experts with such medical skills.
Chu Yue said a few more words to Shen Zhixue, then said goodbye and left the house. When she came out, she saw Shen Zhixia standing at the door and secretly glancing in the direction of Lu Xinghe.
Shen Zhixue sent Chu Yue out of the house, and she naturally saw Shen Zhixia's actions, so she pretended to cough twice.
"Zhixia, what are you doing?"
