Delicate Flower Chapter 249: Moxibustion

The woman was in her forties, of medium height, fair and plump, and her husband’s surname was Shi. She said that she had been ordered by Hu Xing to give Yu Tang moxibustion.

Yu Tang asked curiously: "Is it good to do moxibustion in my situation?"

She couldn't say that she was frightened, but since the Pei family had helped find this woman, she must have known about her condition.

Mr. Shi smiled and said: "Of course. Otherwise, Manager Hu wouldn't have called me over in a hurry."

It's just that people in the Pei family will hire their own doctors for minor illnesses, and go to Hangzhou to see famous doctors for serious illnesses. People like her who know little medical skills can only earn a living from village to village.

So Granny Shi took this opportunity to give Yu Tang moxibustion as an opportunity to change her fortunes. Not only did she have a very good attitude towards Yu Tang, she also kept promoting herself: "The main function of moxibustion is to strengthen the body. Prevent some minor illnesses such as colds. And I also do acupuncture and massage. Especially massage, I am the best. Madams from wealthy families rarely move around. Over time, they will inevitably develop fat in their abdomens and gain weight. Some will also affect fertility. If you get more massage, you can avoid these disadvantages and also strengthen your body..."

She kept talking about the benefits of massage. Yu Tang didn't feel much about it, but Qing Yuan, who was listening next to her, was very interested. When Mrs. Shi was giving Yu Tang moxibustion, she not only asked about this and that, but also asked Mrs. Shi what she was doing now. Can I come to my door on a regular basis?

Mrs. Shi’s original intention was to make a living in the Pei Mansion in the future, so she naturally agreed and took out a bottle of fragrant dew for Yu Tang: "After moxibustion, some moxa fragrance is easy to remain in the body. Some people like it very much. , some people don’t like it. I saw that Miss Yu frowned from time to time, and she must not be used to the scent of algae. You can use this fragrant lotion to wash your hair and take a bath, which can immediately eliminate the scent of algae. This is what I did myself. . You can also use it when you are not doing moxibustion, and there are many other flavors. I came here in a hurry this time, so I only brought this osmanthus-scented one. You can try it first to see if you like it."

He gave another very small bottle to Qing Yuan and said, "I came in a hurry this time. This is what I didn't use last time. Don't dislike it."

Qingyuan accepted it with great interest, put the mouth of the bottle to his nose and smelled it, and happily said to Yutang: "It smells like jasmine."

Yu Tang hurriedly said: "Let me smell it too!"

Qing Yuan put the bottle under Yu Tang's nose.

Perhaps due to the level of craftsmanship, neither the osmanthus scented dew given by Mrs. Shi nor this small bottle of jasmine scented dew is as pleasant as the scented dew given to her by Miss Xu before. But it's already good.

Yu Tang praised again and again.

Mr. Shi's face lit up with a smile and she said: "You won't be able to touch the water for a while after the moxibustion, for fear that the cold air will enter the body. You can take a shower and wash your hair after one or two hours."

Yu Tang agreed.

Qingyuan hurriedly helped Yu Tang look at the time-keeping funnel, and told Qingping to remember to remind Yu Tang when the time was up.

Qingping said "yes" with a smile.

Mr. Shi took the opportunity to tell Yu Tang about the pros and cons of acupuncture and moxibustion.

Yu Tang had done moxibustion, her body was warm, as if it had been ironed, and she was extremely comfortable. She lazily leaned on the big pillow and listened to Mrs. Shi's gossip.

Over there in the Dharma Hall, Master Incompetent's lecture is almost coming to an end, and he is inviting pilgrims to ask questions and answer their confusions.

Pei Yan stretched his legs calmly.

This incompetent master is just in vain, coaxing old ladies who have never seen the world.

He glanced at Tao Qing.

I found that Tao Qing was so bored that she almost fell asleep.

He couldn't help but chuckle secretly.

Everyone is afraid that Wei Sanfu and Wang Qibao will go to Jiangnan this time.

Pei Yan thought about it, but his thoughts changed.

I wonder how the little girl is doing now? Lying in bed sickly? Or just read the picture book at home?

Peng Shiyi hasn’t left yet, so she might as well avoid him for a few days.

Just enough to give her a few days of rest.

The image of Yu Tang slumped on the soft sedan that day appeared in Pei Yan's mind again.

He suddenly wanted to take a look at the little girl.

It seems that only in this way can he truly feel relieved.

Pei Yan was thinking about finding an excuse to leave first, but the handkerchief in Gu Xi's hand had already been crumpled into a ball.

Just now, the eldest lady asked someone to bring her a message, asking her to have dinner with the eldest lady tonight. She said that she had not seen her for some days and wanted her to come and be with her.

All the wives, grandmothers, and ladies in the palace envied her good relationship with the eldest lady. But when she saw Pei Lao'an's calm face and the second wife who was serving him, she felt irritated.

The eldest wife is the eldest daughter-in-law, even if she is a widow. On such an occasion, wouldn't it be a good idea to serve Mr. Pei Lao'an as a filial piety? Why do you have to hide in a quiet room and act like a young lady living in a boudoir? I need to call her over too... Isn't the eldest lady afraid that others will comment on her lack of knowledge of advancement and retreat, and lack of rules?

Gu Xi couldn't refuse, so she had to accept with a smile.

But the second wife still looked concerned and said to her: "Sister-in-law has been suffering a lot these days. I heard that she ate two of the vegetarian dumplings that were sent to her at noon. It is rare for her to have such an appetite, so she can go out. It's better to go. I've already told the kitchen to send a few more steamed buns over later. Please keep an eye out for me when you eat with your sister-in-law to see if there is anything else she likes to eat. I'll let the kitchen know next time. ”

Gu Xi smiled and bent her knees to give the second wife a blessing, but in her heart she was cursing at the eldest wife, who is also a sister-in-law. Look at the second wife, how good she is at talking and how well she can coax a few Lao An people. .

No wonder the eldest wife is often criticized.

If you don’t know how to behave, that’s what happens in a big family.

She resigned from Miss Wu and went to live with the eldest wife.

Who knew that the eldest lady called her here because she wanted to inquire about Yu Tang: "I heard that a doctor was arranged to give her moxibustion. Where does this Miss Yu come from? I heard that she lived with you before. , do you know this person?"

In her opinion, it would be great if Pei Yan could marry such a girl.

In this way, Pei Yan would not get the support of his wife clan.

Gu Xi felt a little unhappy after hearing this, thinking that I asked you to keep an eye on Yu Tang before but you didn't keep an eye on her. Now she realizes that Pei Yan values ​​Yu Tang so much and wants to find out about Yu Tang, so she needs my help. .

She said respectfully: "I don't know Miss Yu very well. Although we lived together before, we only lived in two adjacent courtyards. What kind of character Miss Yu is, I I really don’t know much about it.”

But what about the doctor?

Most wealthy families don't like doctor wives, thinking that they like to stir up trouble and ruin the peace in the backyard.

The handkerchief in Gu Xi's hand was crumpled into a ball again, but with a smile on her face, she said: "Is that doctor really arranged by the third master? Does Lao 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 many opportunities to take advantage of this.

It's a pity that the eldest wife was spoiled by Pei You and never took this mother-in-law seriously, so she didn't notice Gu Xi's intention. Not only that, she seemed quite disappointed that Gu Xi didn't know anything, and she showed it unabashedly, saying: "Are you used to living in the temple? Do you want me to send two maids over to serve you? Day?"

Gu Xi immediately realized that the eldest lady was trying to use her name to act.

She is not that stupid.

You don’t get any benefits at all, and you use your own reputation to facilitate others.

She smiled and said: "My place is fine. Miss Wu comes here often, and there are also ladies from the Song and Peng families. It's quite lively."

That is to say, there are many people there and it is very mixed.

The eldest lady was even more disappointed.

Gu Xi didn't even want to eat. She drank a bowl of soup and said she was full. She hurriedly wanted to leave. Suddenly she remembered the second wife's previous instructions. The eldest lady, who had lost her virtuous reputation in front of the family members and was really disgusted, simply said straight to the point: "Are you still used to eating here? I heard that you ate a few more buns at noon today. Do you want to let the kitchen cook again tomorrow?" How many more can I prepare for you?"

No matter how delicious the plain steamed buns at Zhaoming Temple are, the eldest lady is also a person who has seen the world. She has eaten plain steamed buns that are not much worse than this. In addition, she has been worried about how to let Pei Tong return to the capital. I don’t care much about food and accommodation. I haven’t eaten the vegetarian dumplings from Zhaoming Temple for a long time, so I took a few more bites.

She said: "It's okay! It's Angelica dahurica by my side. She said it's hard to eat Zhaoming Temple's vegetarian dumplings now. I want to give some to my family to try. You can help me deliver a large portion tomorrow. Come here."

The eldest wife bought Angelica dahurica after she came to Lin'an. She is from Lin'an.

Gu Xi inquired about the people around the eldest wife, and naturally knew about Bai Zhi. Thinking that this Bai Zhi was probably working as an errand beside the eldest lady, she wanted to take the opportunity to show off.

This is also a small matter.

Who can give without giving anything in return?

Those around you should also be kind and gentle.

She agreed with a smile, reluctantly said a few words to the eldest lady, then stood up and left.

On the other side, Yu Tang was laughing and laughing.

The second wife and several ladies from the Pei family came over. Everyone asked her how she was feeling or if she was feeling uncomfortable in any way. While they were chattering, Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang San also came. Coming over, the second wife asked about Mrs. Yang San’s health again. Mrs. Yang was answering when Mrs. Chen came in with homemade snacks and candies and talked about Mrs. Shi coming for moxibustion in the afternoon~IndoMTL.com~The second wife and Yang The wife called Qingyuan in for questioning...

The laughter spread far in the quiet dusk, hurting Gu Xi who was about to return to his residence.

Gu Xi stood facing the setting sun for a long time, then suddenly turned around and went to where Pei Tong lived.

He Xiang was startled and said, "Miss, what are you going to do? How about I go and tell the eldest son in advance?"

Gu Xi sneered, thinking about Pei Tong standing next to Pei Xuan like an invisible man today, she began to get angry.

She said: "Go quickly!"

Hexiang ran away in a flash.

Soon, Gu Xi met Pei Tong who came quickly to greet her.

"What happened?" There was a thin line of sweat on Pei Tong's forehead, but his voice was still very soft, "I am drinking tea with my second uncle and the heads of several clans!"

In other words, he came out temporarily from socializing.
