Delicate Flower Chapter 39: Head flower
Yu Tangsheng lay helplessly on the bed, listening across the screen to the chubby and smiling imperial doctor Wang Bai, who was white-faced and beardless, and said to Yu Wen: "It's not serious! The little girl has been carefully raised in her boudoir since she was a child. Suddenly, I eat and drink randomly when I go out with you, and my stomach and intestines can't stand it for a while. There is no need to prescribe any medicine, just fast for two days. I'd better eat less of these spicy things in the future."
Yu Wen regretted it so much that he bowed and nodded in agreement.
Wang Bai still remembered their family and asked with a smile: "Has your wife's illness improved? Don't look at Lao Yang with a cold face. That's because he has good medical skills and can cure ten diseases at a time. There shouldn't be anything wrong with the prescription he prescribed."
Although it was him and Yang Douxing who treated Chen's disease last time, it was Yang Douxing who prescribed the medicine.
Yu Wen said hurriedly: "Zhuojing remembers the kindness of the two of you! A few days ago, I went to the temple to pray for the two of you to be safe. If you two were not in the spring and Autumn period, you would have wanted to set up a longevity plaque. !"
"Hahaha!" Wang Bai laughed and said, "I don't need it. Yang Douxing, who is just trying to gain fame, likes these things the most. Next time you meet him, you must tell him that he doesn't show it on his face, but in his heart I'm sure happy."
Literati look down on each other, and there are many colleagues who undermine each other.
No one can accept this.
Yu Wen hesitated for a few words and said: "You two are both busy people. It is a blessing to see you again. How can we see you often?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Wang Bai said with a smile, "The eldest wife of the Pei family is always having a hard time these days. Yang Douxing is almost living in Lin'an. If you have anything to do, you can go directly to the Pei Mansion to see her."
This time, wasn't it also the Pei family's post that attracted him in the middle of the night?
Everyone in the Yu family was stunned for a moment, and then became a little happy.
Having such a famous doctor by your side may not be useful sometimes, but it makes you feel more at ease.
Yu Wen thanked him again and again, making Wang Bai happy, and then sent Wang Bai away. When he came back, even though it was early autumn, there was sweat on his forehead: "Hey, these celebrities, each one is better than the other. Easy to deal with."
Yu Yuan hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Yu Wen and thanked shopkeeper Tong Er.
Seeing that there was nothing going on here, shopkeeper Tong Er said goodbye with a smile: "If there is anything else, just ask the waiter in the store to go to the front shop to pass a message. As a fellow villager, you should help more when you are away from home. , please don’t be polite to me."
Yu Wen and Yu Yuan hurriedly thanked him and personally sent shopkeeper Tong Er out, saying, "When our girl feels better in two days, I will go and thank Mr. Pei San."
This is not something shopkeeper Tong Er can decide.
He agreed with a smile, said a few words such as "It's important to take good care of the children at home", and went back to rest.
Knowing that Yu Tang was fine, Yu Wen and Yu Yuan's hearts dropped. Yu Yuan even teased Yu Tang: "You don't know how to restrain yourself, now you know how to restrain yourself?"
Yu Tang lay there feebly and looked at Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan felt a little pitiful for her again, so he went to pour a glass of warm water and helped her get up to drink.
Yu Tang shut her mouth tightly and begged her eldest cousin pitifully: "I have already drank two bottles of water. If I drink more, my stomach will become a water bag."
"You deserve it!" Yu Wen smiled and said, "Who told you to be disobedient?"
Yu Tang cried out that he was wronged and said: "I was disobedient or you didn't tell me. How did I know those things were so powerful. When I go back, I will tell my mother that you will take me out and leave me alone. Let me eat randomly."
"How dare you!" Yu Wen really didn't want to make Mrs. Chen anxious, and said, "If you dare to say anything to your mother when you go back, I won't take you with me wherever I go in the future."
Yu Tang snorted twice to express his dissatisfaction, and then made a condition with his father: "Then you can't say that I was hungry at the night market when you go back."
Yu Wen was stunned.
Yu Yuan laughed and said: "Uncle, you have been fooled by Ah Tang. She doesn't want you to tell others about her bad stomach at the night market."
Yu Wen laughed, tapped Yu Tang's forehead, and said, "Little clever guy, your eldest cousin and I are keeping secrets. Are you satisfied?"
"That's pretty much it!" Yu Tang muttered softly, drinking too much water and wanting to go to the toilet again.
Yu Wen and Yu Yuan laughed, asked the inn’s proprietress to help take care of Yu Tang, and returned to their rooms.
After struggling for most of the night, Yu Tang fell asleep just before dawn. When she woke up, not only she was woken up by hunger, but Yu Wen and Yu Yuan were not at the inn yet.
The proprietress was a woman in her forties, with an honest face. She brought her warm water in with a smile and said, "Drink some water. Your father and your brother told us repeatedly when they left, we can't I'll give you food and only warm water to drink. Just bear with it for a while and you'll be fine tomorrow."
Yu Tang felt that she was about to turn into a water bag. The water in her belly was sloshing around every time she moved. She blocked the water from the landlady and asked the landlady: "Do you know where my father and brother went? ?"
"I said I wanted to go out for a walk." The landlady didn't force her, she smiled and put the warm water on the small spoon beside her bed. "I said that if you wake up, you can rest in the store. They will be back in the evening. ”
Could it be that the master named Qian is there?
Yu Tang didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear of being noticed by someone interested. He exchanged a few pleasantries with the proprietress of the inn and then pretended to yawn.
When the landlady saw it, she immediately stood up and said goodbye: "You have a rest first. If you need anything, just call me."
Yu Tang thanked the landlady. After the landlady left, she felt even hungrier, but unfortunately she couldn't eat.
She counted the pieces of silver her mother secretly put into her purse behind her father's back before she went out, and felt that she had really suffered a big loss this time.
Her father and brother were both gone, and it was hard for her to run around. She stayed in the inn for a long time, and suddenly she felt as if she had returned to the prison of the Li family in her previous life - because she had promised that the Li family would keep the rules, she I ask myself to follow the rules of widowhood, pay attention to everything, and be careful everywhere. But she kept her promise, but the Li family broke their promise... Thinking of this, the unhappiness that had been suppressed in her heart burst out like a dike, and it couldn't be stopped.
She doesn't want to stay here like this.
She wants to go out for a walk.
Or find something to do for yourself.
How did she pass those depressing days in her previous life?
Make a head flower.
Yes, make a headdress.
Make a variety of head flowers.
When she agreed to the Li family, she thought about things too simply. She felt that her life was only a few decades and passed by in the blink of an eye. If she could repay her uncle's family's kindness and one of them could climb ashore, what would it matter if she was a little more miserable and tired? Only when she really started to observe the festival did she realize that life was really difficult. Look forward to it from dusk to dawn, and look forward to it from dawn to dusk. Sit from the morning glow in the sky to the setting sun. A quarter of an hour, an hour, counting. She felt that she could no longer live her life. She was very impetuous, could not do anything well, and did not like to do it. I have tried growing flowers, embroidering, and making clothes, but it still doesn't work.
Until one year during the Dragon Boat Festival, the little maid named Bai Xing of the Li family quietly gave her a maroon velvet flower and said quietly to her: "I know you can't wear it, but you can keep it." Take it out and have a look when you have nothing to do."
That is a very common head flower.
Make it look like a camellia.
No more than the size of a wine cup.
The edges of the flower branches made of iron wire are not wrapped well, and some rust spots are exposed.
Very rough.
When she was at her parents' house, she wouldn't even buy a pair of peaches.
But it was this flower that she took out to look at from time to time.
The dark red color and downy petals gradually calmed her irritability.
She began to wrap the rusty flower branches with silk thread, and used green linen to make calyxes for the flowers... Later, she began to make head flowers for the little maids.
Hangzhou silk, velvet, woven gold, coarse cloth, fine cloth...lilac, hosta, jasmine, peony...the size of a wine cup, the size of a cup, the size of a fingernail...nailed with copper Those who made beads, those who nailed silver beads, those who nailed glass beads... Later, they were able to fake the real ones, and in June they made magnolia flowers and hung them on the camphor tree...
She spends most of her time doing hairdressing.
Yu Tang hides his face.
Since her rebirth, she felt that she should be like a new born and forget all the past.
Especially those habits developed in the Li Mansion.
Not only did she not touch the flower head, nor seek revenge on the Li family, she did not even take a look at the Ku'an Temple where she died.
But some things just happened once they happened. Engraved in her bones, melted into her blood.
She can't change it or forget it.
Yu Tang wants to make a flower head.
Small, pink, one petal after another, layered in layers, in the style of a camellia, resting on a small beetle, the size of a mung bean, lifelike, lying on the stamens of the camellia, and worn in her hair.
That was a look she had never worn in her previous life since Li Jun's death.
Yu Tang was like a thirsty traveler at this moment, unable to resist the longing in his heart.
She got up and dressed.
I saw that the woman in the bronze mirror had eyes as bright as stars, so bright that they seemed to light up the entire night sky.
She slowly arranged a beaded flower for herself, put on the curtain hat, got up and went to find the proprietress: "Is there anyone selling copper silk silk cloth near you? I want to make nodding flowers."
The landlady knew that she was the daughter of a scholar. But there are many scholarly families who need their female relatives to do needlework in order to have food, clothing and chewing. ~IndoMTL.com~ She just glanced at Yu Tang sympathetically and pointed to an alley outside the door: "Go out from here and turn left at the first intersection. That alley sells hair combs and handkerchiefs. Purse."
Not only are these things for sale, but the materials for making them are also for sale.
There are stores that accept these things, and there are also merchants who sell them.
The proprietress thought that their family was familiar with the Pei family, so she asked a boy to follow her: "Help move things and show the way." When encountering a deceitful person, she can also threaten or call out. People go and help.
Yu Tang thanked her again and again, and was led out of the door by the boy.
After spending three taels of silver and half a day's work, she bought a lot of copper wire, gilt and silver glazed beads, and a bunch of various scraps of cloth.
After drinking some water, she sat in front of the window lattice of the guest room and began to do her hair.
Familiar tools, familiar materials, familiar colors... Yu Tang's heart calmed down, and she felt neither tired nor hungry.
