medicine lady

Chapter 6
After Ye Yunshui entered the mansion, he really felt what a mansion of aristocratic family is. He got off the carriage at the side door, and there was already a small green-clothed sedan chair carried by two people waiting here. , first went to the house of the old lady of the Ye family.

Along the way, the bypassed pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, and garden ponds are so beautiful, Ye Yunshui quietly raised the car curtain and looked out secretly, and suddenly felt that he was Grandma Liu in the Dream of Red Mansions and walked into the Grand View Garden.I can't remember how many doors I went through.

The sedan chair finally stopped, Chunyue lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and helped Ye Yunshui out, stepped through two moon gates, and it was the old lady's courtyard, just after entering the courtyard, there were four or five maidservants coming forward Seeing the ceremony, Ye Yun responded on the surface, but he didn't dare to call people easily. He just checked the faces one by one according to the faces in his memory, but there were still unfamiliar faces that he really didn't recognize. The wife spared her morning and evening sleep, except for the old lady's four maids, Thrush, Emerald, Vanilla, and Emerald Red, she didn't know much about them.

"The eldest girl is back." The thrush in front of the old lady had been waiting outside, and when she saw the shadow of Ye Yunshui and his party, she reported to the back room, then stepped forward to help Ye Yunshui, and said with a smile: "Daddy The girl is back, the old lady, the master, and the wife have been talking about it for a long time, the young masters and the second girl have been waiting impatiently, and just complained to the old lady for not letting the eldest girl come back earlier, hehe, the Laba meal was served early table, and wait for the eldest girl to come back."

Thrush is the old lady's favorite, Ye Yunshui naturally wants to give some face, as an unfavorable eldest daughter, her life may not be better than the big maid in the old lady's house, she just pretends to be a master, that's all." Let the old lady miss it, it's my fault, sister, hurry up and go to the house, it's not easy to catch a cold in this cold weather."

Huamei was slightly taken aback, the eldest girl seldom talked to these servants in the past few days, she quickly replied, "I dare not worry about the eldest girl calling you a servant sister, but you will be a slave, if the old lady hears this, I will An inescapable crime," Huamei pointed to the little maid standing beside her, "Hurry up and get the eldest girl's hand stove, it doesn't matter what you see."

Ye Yunshui stood in the middle of the yard and waited, knowing that this was Thrush, who had been ordered by the old lady to hang her in the yard for a while, if he was really worried that she would freeze, would the hand stove still need to be taken back to his own yard? Ye Yunshui didn't have many He said, just stood quietly for a while, watching the dishes being passed to the dining room of the main house.It took about a quarter of an hour before the little maid who took the hand stove ran back. Ye Yunshui asked Chunyue to take a few copper coins to reward her for snacks, and took a purse from Chunyue, and stuffed it into Thrush's hand. Li, "Sister Lao Huamei is thinking about it. I embroidered this purse by myself in my spare time. If you don't dislike it, let's treat it as a toy."

Huamei took it with a smile, but felt that the purse sank. She had been in front of the old lady all the year round. She knew how much money the weight was. She was surprised and happy, and saluted Ye Yunshui, "My servant thanked the eldest girl for the reward." Come on, let me see the old lady."

Ye Yunshui followed the thrush into the main room, and sitting on the main seat was an old lady wearing a red brocade coat with a red blessing on a green background and wearing a pair of dragons playing with pearls on her head and wiping her forehead. It was a middle-aged handsome man, Ye Zhongtian, Ye Yunshui's father, next to him was his aunt Ye Zhang, a middle-aged beautiful woman Ye Yunshui had seen, and the seats closest to the door were Ye Yunshui's three half-brothers. Brothers, Ye Xiaofei, Ye Xiaopeng, Ye Xiaoqing, and the closest to Ye Yunshui is her younger sister, Ye Qianru.

Ye Yunshui just scanned the crowd with his eyes, and went to the old lady first. A maid brought a futon, and Ye Yunshui knelt down and kowtowed three times to the old lady, "Greetings to grandma, Yunshui was young and ignorant, he made a big mistake, thank you!" It is the granddaughter's fault to worry about the grandmother. The granddaughter copied the scriptures in the temple every day, praying to the Buddha to bless the grandmother in good health, the father and mother to be happy, and the younger brothers and sisters to be successful in their studies and happy..."

"Okay, okay, get up, come here and let grandma see, oh, this girl, you can scare grandma to death!" Before Ye Yunshui finished speaking, the old lady asked someone to help her up, and took Ye Yunshui's hand After looking at her for a while, worry was written on her face, "It's fine to have petty tantrums at home with your grandmother, your father, and your mother. You are about to get married now, and your husband's family can't tolerate you messing around like this. Hurry up and apologize to your father and mother, they are all worried about you, go quickly..."

Ye Yunshui knows that the old lady loves her, but she doesn't care about things, and the old lady's heart has always been partial to the second old man's family, so she can't count on the old lady to protect herself.Ye Yunshui got up and did as the old lady wanted, and kneeled down and kowtowed to Ye Zhongtian and Ye Zhangshi according to the rules, and waited for their instructions.

Ye Chongtian didn't say much, Ye Zhang took a look at the old lady in the seat, and pulled Ye Yunshui up with a smile, "Such a big girl is still making such jokes, you don't have to let your younger brothers and sisters laugh at you, see if you are ashamed shame."

Ye Yunshui smiled slightly, but felt a sharp and disdainful gaze looking at her from below. From the corner of her eye, it was Ye Qianru. She knew that the mother and daughter were not easy-going lamps, but she would not face this little girl. Concerned, just echoing Ye Zhang's words, "Mum, please worry."

"Okay, let's eat. The second child's family will arrive in the evening. I will pack up the Dongkua courtyard for them to live in in the afternoon. I have to be busy." Ye Zhongtian's tone was a little impatient, and it was difficult for Ye Zhang to grasp this. After talking endlessly, the family got up and went to the dining room to have dinner. There were not many people, and the old lady asked everyone to sit down to accompany the excitement, so there was only one table.Ye Yunshui took the initiative to wait on the old lady's meal, and saw that the soy pork knuckle he bought was also on the table, but he didn't make a show of it. He just picked up two pieces for the old lady, but he didn't say where it came from.

"Huh? This tastes like Jingyizhai's. Are you eating?" The old lady has a very good appetite. She has something to eat in her mouth. Then he opened his mouth, "The old lady is really amazing. Once she ate it, she knew it was from Jingyizhai. This is what the eldest girl bought on the way home to pay tribute to you."

The old lady immediately smiled, and patted Ye Yunshui's hand, "Good boy, I know how to be filial to my grandmother."

Mrs. Ye Zhang glanced at Ye Yunshui, but she felt a bit uncomfortable when she heard the old lady's words. Since she got married and had a child, she never served the old lady to eat and set rules. The wife then allowed her to sit down and have a meal. She has been here for more than ten years, but now she said that her granddaughter is filial.

Ye Qianru glared at Ye Yunshui, "The elder sister is naturally filial, and she goes to the temple to copy the scriptures and eat vegetarian food. I think she is greedy."

Ye Chongtian glared at Ye Qianru and remained silent. Ye Yunshui didn't expect her unintentional actions to cause resentment, but she was not annoyed, and said jokingly: "Your sister knows what I'm thinking, but you know that I'm in the temple?" It’s a sad day, I’m just following my ancestors to borrow light to satisfy my cravings, but I let you expose it, think I remember my younger brothers and sisters, and I bought snacks for you on the way, and Chunyue will soon make you love it Give the tuckahoe cake and sweet-scented osmanthus sugar to the younger brothers, see if you can't eat it... cry!"

"Okay, okay, I love sweet-scented osmanthus candy, second sister, you can't eat it all by yourself." Ye Xiaoqing was a simple person, and she booed happily when she heard Ye Yunshui say this.

"Shut your mouth, sweet-scented osmanthus is so rare, as if you have never eaten anything in a poor household." Ye Qianru glared at Ye Yunshui, but her words were too harsh, Ye Yunshui pretended to be wronged, Ye Xiaoqing But I didn't expect Ye Qianru to suddenly change her face to a dazed one. The old lady's face immediately sank. Ye Chongtian saw it but had to criticize a few words, "Nonsense, this is what you, a girl, should do." What did you say on the edge of your mouth? Bitterness, sharp teeth, and sharp mouth, where did you learn the rules!"

Ye Zhang heard her husband scolding her own daughter like this, and she also had a face full of displeasure, "Isn't it just an osmanthus candy, it's worth your brothers and sisters arguing, don't hurry up and eat, what should you do after eating, sir Those who celebrate the festival don’t make your grandma unhappy here.”

After Ye Zhang finished speaking, she glanced at Ye Yunshui pointedly, but she was still serving food to the old lady without knowing it, and the old lady didn't seem to hear it, she lowered her head and ate Ye Yunshui in a bowl for herself. With a faint smile on his face, Mrs. Ye Zhang felt that she was bored, so she gave Ye Qianru a look, and motioned for a few people to shut up and eat, while Ye Yunshui sat down and ate a few mouthfuls casually after serving the old lady. The first meal of this Laba is over.

Helping the old lady to walk for a while, waiting for her to take a nap, the large group of people dispersed. Ye Yunshui took Chunyue back to her yard with exhaustion from her heart on her face. It was the farthest one from the old lady's yard, and it took a quarter of an hour to get there in a sedan chair. If they walked there in the next day, it would take at least two quarters of an hour to get there.

After getting off the sedan chair, Ye Yunshui saw from a distance a middle-aged woman looking forward to it at the gate of the courtyard, her face was full of worry and anxiety, her heart softened, because in her memory, this middle-aged woman was the most beautiful woman in the world. The person Yuewai treats her the best is her nanny Su Mama.
