Concubine Snake Married to: The Demon Empress Will Become a Devil

Chapter 13

Accompanied by Fu Rong, Madam Chu Yu walked into her room, changed her clothes, and walked towards the dining room with Fu Rong.

Along the way, the maids and servants of Zhao's family greeted Chu Yu's short body one after another, and Chu Yu's wife simply responded, thinking: This Chu Yu's wife is quite respectable, hehe, not bad.

This house is big enough, not to mention the garden, but after walking from Chu Yu's room to the dining room for a while, Chu Yu's wife couldn't help but feel a little headache, thinking: Such a house, so many people, if there is no Furong , This must be lost, I have to let Furong take me to recognize it, but such a big house, some time is wasted.

After thinking about it, they arrived at the dining room. Master Chu and his wife were already seated. There were not many people at the table, including Mrs. Chu Yu, there were only three of them. Seeing Mrs. Chu Yu sitting at the table, Fu Rong turned around and prepared to leave. The woman hurriedly asked, "Fu Rong, where are you going?"

Fu Rong was taken aback, "Then she said, sister, I'll go to the side hall next to you, just call me if you need anything."

Seeing Madam Chu Yu's hesitant eyes, Master Chu said: "Furong, you have been here for so long, and my wife and I have never treated you as an outsider, so please sit down and eat with us."

Hearing Master Chu's words, Fu Rong panicked, what kind of treatment is this, the servant is eating at the same table as the master?Quickly said: "Master is fine, I'll go to the side hall, thank you, Master."

Seeing Fu Rong's panic, Master Chu continued: "It's okay, just sit down. Besides, Madam Yu's injury hasn't healed yet, so it's inevitable that she will feel a little uncomfortable. With you by Madam Yu's side, we don't worry. We can see that Madam Yu is still there. I would love to have you by her side."

Chu Yu's wife also quickly echoed: "Yes, you can sit here."

Fu Rong looked at Mrs. Chu Yu, then at Master Chu and Mrs. Chu, said nothing, nodded, and sat down.

The dinner was still very rich, maybe it was because Chu Yumao's injury was not healed yet, there was not much greasy food in the dinner, except for a pot of fish soup, most of them were vegetarian dishes, but the taste was very good.

Seeing their daughter eating big mouthfuls, Master Chu and Madam Chu felt a lot of comfort in their hearts. At least Madam Yu's eating posture is exactly the same as before.

Madam Chu Yu ate quickly, and finished eating in a short while. Seeing Master Chu and his wife eating slowly, Madam Chu Yu knew that these two must be from a scholarly family. And ultimately.Fu Rong next to her was rather restrained, she basically ate white rice, and Madam Chu Yu didn't care, after all, it was the first time she was eating at the same table with her master, and it was not easy to even eat it.

Thinking of this, Ms. Chu Yu didn't continue, and began to think about how to talk to Master Chu about learning medicine. I don't know, if Ms. Chu Yu went to the mountain to collect medicine last time, Master Chu would still agree. ?It doesn't matter, let's ask first, anyway, I heard from Fu Rong that Chu Yumao is the treasure in the palm of Master Chu and his wife, as long as there is a request, she will agree. If Master Chu refuses to agree, at worst, she will go on a hunger strike.

Thinking of this, Mistress Chu Yu boldly prepared to speak, but when Mistress Chu Yu raised her head to look at Master Chu, Master Chu said, "Miss Yu, Father knows that you like medical skills, and you really want to help Father Chu. There is nothing wrong with studying medicine, but after all, it is best for a girl to collect herbs in the mountains, don't do it anymore, wait a few days, and your body has completely recovered before going to the medicinal material shop to learn."

Master Chu also wants Madam Chu to inherit his medical skills. Mistress Chu Yu is indeed very smart and talented, but sometimes she is stubborn and courageous. up.On the other hand, Master Chu knew that Ms. Chu Yu had lost her memory, and didn't know how much she could remember about medical skills, so he didn't dare to make a hasty decision. He wanted Ms. Chu Yu to rest and test her some other day.

Master Chu paused, and then said: "Mrs. Yu, you should stay at home to recuperate these few days. There are still many medical books at home. You should read those first. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."

After hearing what Master Chu said, Madam Chu Yu couldn't say anything more, so she nodded and agreed, "Yes, Father."

"Yeah" Master Chu was also very satisfied when he saw that Chu Yu nodded, and said to Chu Yu, "Mrs. Yu, go down with Fu Rong first after eating, and let Fu Rong tell you more about the past. thing."

"Yeah, I got it, Dad." Mrs. Chu Yu nodded in agreement and went out with Fu Rong.They didn't go anywhere else, and sat down in the gazebo where they chatted before.

"Sister, how are you feeling? The food is still good. If you have anything you want to eat, just tell me, and I'll let the kitchen prepare it."

"No need, the food is already good, if I eat like this again, I will become fat."

"Fatty, what's wrong with being fat, don't all beauties nowadays have to be fat to look good?"

Fat, look fatter?Could it be that I have come to the world of snakes? Historically, in the world of snakes, fat was regarded as beautiful.Chu Yumao's history is not bad, especially the history of the snake world, not because of the heyday of the snake world, but because of the snake world's aesthetic concept of "fat is beautiful", this is Chu Yumao's favorite.This time the relationship is good, this breakthrough has brought me to such a good family, such a good time, it’s ok, I can let go and eat, I don’t need to restrain myself for being slim anymore. Once, I wanted to eat but didn't dare to eat, now it's all right.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Chu Yu couldn't help laughing.Fu Rong looked at Madam Chu Yu suspiciously, and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you, what are you laughing at, am I wrong?"

Fu Rong's question interrupted Chu Yumao's thinking.Chu Yu turned around and said quickly: "No, no, you are right, fat is beautiful, and thin with only bones left, so what's so good about it, isn't it? By the way, I will eat it in the morning. Do you still have the sweet-scented osmanthus cake? Get me some more."

"Okay, I know my sister likes this, sister, please wait here for a while, I'll go get it right away." Said and trotted away from the gazebo.

Madam Chu Yu sat alone in the pavilion, leaning on her head with her hands.Shaking his head, he thought about the past two days.First something happened out of nowhere, and then somehow she came to the Snake Realm, arrived at the Chu Mansion, and became Miss Qianjin, which is really bizarre.When I go back, I will tell someone about it, and I will guarantee that I will be caught as a crazy person.But, how can I go back here? I wonder if in this world, can I meet someone who came here just like myself for no apparent reason?
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Furong at the entrance of Huayuan, holding an osmanthus cake, walking over quickly, Chu Yu's mother's gluttons came up all at once, and all the question marks in her mind were thrown away by her. .

When Furong entered the pavilion, Madam Chu Yu hurried over to take the plate, picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth. Seeing that, Furong couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister, slow down, don't choke, there are still a lot. If you want me to go get it."

Just as she was talking, Ms. Chu Yu was really choking, holding onto the table and coughing uncontrollably, Fu Rong hurried forward, patted Ms. Chu Yu's back, and said, "Sister, look at you, why are you so anxious, there are still many Hurry up, drink your saliva." Chu Yu took the cup and drank it all in one gulp, making Fu Rong beside her couldn't help laughing.Madam Chu Yu made a face of embarrassment, blushed, and was speechless.

The two sisters get along very well, one is innocent and cute, the other is modern and lively, extroverted, they are like a pair of sisters.

Time flies so fast, a week has passed in a blink of an eye, these days Fu Rong kept telling Chu Yu about the past, and Chu Yu really listened to her, but Chu Yu was so into the role that she almost forgot Knowing that she is the wife of Chu Yu from modern times, she naturally became the wife of Zhao Chuyu in the Tang Dynasty.

One day, Mrs. Chu Yu and Fu Rong were playing by the lake in the garden. Master Chu walked over with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the two little girls play, smiling knowingly from time to time, and not rushing to say anything. .

Chu Yu and Fu Rong, who were playing vigorously, didn't notice Master Chu who was watching them not far away. They were standing barefoot by the lake, and Chu Yu was holding a handful of water and pouring it on Fu Rong. , Fu Rong was no longer restrained as before, and smiled happily and returned a handful of water to Chu Yu's wife.

The two were playing happily in their own world, while Master Chu on the side didn't say anything, just smiled and looked at this beautiful picture scroll, and couldn't help feeling poetic for a while, saying casually: "The green water is blue and the waves are rippling. , Laughing and singing." The voice caught Chu Yu's attention, she turned her head to look at Master Chu, she was not stage-frightened, she opened her mouth and said, "The wind blows the water and ripples, a beautiful woman's shadow in the water."

"Okay" Master Chu couldn't help shouting, and then said: "Okay, Mrs. Yu, I really can't see that you are not young? Huh? Hahahahaha~~~~"

"Father, don't make fun of Madam Yu, I can't teach you this skill."

"Hehe, okay, okay, my daughter will be modest again. Hahahahaha" There was another hearty laugh.

It was Furong who also got up to say hello to Master Chu, "Give me my respects, Master."

"En..." Master Chu answered with a wave of his hand, and continued to Madam Chu Yu, "Madam Yu, I think your body has almost recovered. How are you doing recently? Have you gained anything from reading those medical books?"

Mrs. Chu Yu knew that her father was going to test herself and smiled, but she didn't directly answer Master Chu's question, and said: "Stroke, the patient will suddenly faint, or have hemiplegia, or aphasia, crooked tongue, and numbness in one side of the body. Acupuncture and moxibustion, together with massage and cupping, will have a miraculous effect."

"Well, that's right, then tell me what is Astragalus and Angelica?"

"Astragalus, nourishes the lungs and strengthens the spleen, strengthens the body, suppresses sweat, and is a medicine for dispelling wind and transporting poison. Angelica, has the effect of nourishing blood and promoting blood circulation. It has miraculous effects for stroke patients and those who love beauty. How about it? Dad, my daughter answered yes. correct."

"Well, it is generally possible, but what you know are some commonly used methods. Practitioners must know their uses, know how to use them, and how to use them. What you know is still relatively crude. How about it, let Furong use it tomorrow Come to the pharmacy with you, and I will teach you in detail as a father." Then he turned his head to Fu Rong, and then said: "Fu Rong, tomorrow you and Madam Yu will study pharmacology with me."

After speaking, he turned his face away and left. After walking a few steps, a smile appeared on his face. Yes, Master Chu was really happy. He was glad that his daughter's injury did not completely make her forget what he had taught her. , Not completely, but he believes that his daughter's intelligence will definitely allow her to make up for everything she has forgotten in a short period of time.

But what Master Chu didn't know was that his daughter had already been replaced.In fact, in the past few days, Mrs. Chu Yu did not look through those medical books.There is no major difficulty in writing, but reading books is another matter.Ms. Chu Yu didn't even read a single page of the medical book, her head was getting bigger.What she said just now was all learned when she was a nurse in her previous life, and then she used some sentence patterns to make up nonsense.I really don't know if letting Master Chu know this will make his nose crooked.

After Master Chu left for a while, Fu Rong came back and asked Mrs. Chu Yu: "Sister, you have been playing with me these past few days. When did you read the medical books? It's so difficult that the master taught me Your things, you haven't forgotten?"

It was only then that Chu Yu realized that she was showing her feet, and hurriedly said: "I, I watched it after you fell asleep. I didn't read much, it's just that the things the master asked are simple." Chu Yu knew that it would be troublesome to continue, if When asked what books she had read, Mrs. Chu Yu really didn't know, besides "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Huangdi Neijing", Mrs. Chu Yu really couldn't say what other medical books there were, so she hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Furong, did you hear Did you, Dad said just now, let you study medicine with me, how about it, are you happy?"

"I'm happy. Actually, I've wanted to learn for a long time by staying with Miss, but I never had the chance. Now that the chance comes, I'm already very happy."

Maybe Furong was really happy and didn't continue to question Chu Yumao.Seeing that Furong finished speaking and continued this topic, Chu Yu's wife immediately ran to the lake, and poured a handful of water on Furong. Because of the contact with Chu Yu's wife these few days, Furong had long since lost her status as a master and servant. Jie Jie also hurried to the lake, and returned a handful of water to Mrs. Chu Yu.

Under the setting sun, two young girls happily had a water fight.

The next day, just after dawn, Fu Rong came to knock on the door to wake Madam Chu Yu up.As for Chu Yu, she was still playing chess with Duke Zhou in her dream, when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, she shouted angrily, "Who is this disturbing dream early in the morning?"

When Fu Rong heard that Chu Yu's tone was unfriendly, she knew that the lady was still asleep, so she said cautiously: "Miss, it's getting late, get up quickly, we still have to go to the pharmacy to study."

Only then did Madam Chu Yu completely come out of her dream, she stretched her waist, rubbed her eyes lazily, thinking, this Furong is too active, she came so early, but she didn't dare to neglect her, so she replied : "Get up, it will be ready soon." I hurriedly put on my clothes, opened the door, saw that Furong was holding a basin in his hand, and hurriedly took it, washed my face hastily, and went out with Furong. I took two sweet-scented osmanthus cakes.

The pharmacy was not far from the Chu Mansion, and it took a while for the family to drive the carriage. Fu Rong got out of the carriage, stood by the side of the carriage and helped Chu Yumao who was behind her, and Chu Yumao got off the carriage, staring blankly Looking at the pharmacy in front of me, I thought to myself: It’s so big, it’s still called a pharmacy, the Tongrentang pharmacy in Beijing is nothing more than that.Madam Chu Yu calmed down, and walked into the pharmacy with Fu Rong.

The people in the pharmacy saw that it was the young lady who came, and hurried out to greet her.Madam Chu Yu looked at the person who was wearing a khaki robe, sleeves rolled up, and brown cloth shoes, and she looked quite young.The visitor walked up to Ms. Chu Yu, bowed down to say hello to Ms. Chu Yu, but Ms. Chu Yu was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do.Fortunately, Fu Rong came more often, she helped her up generously, said: "Hello, Manager Chen." Then she dragged Chu Yu into the pharmacy.

On the way, Fu Rong didn't forget to introduce Chu Yumaid: "The man just now is the steward of the master's pharmacy. He is very capable. He is the earliest apprentice of the master, and he has been in the pharmacy for the longest time. He is very nice. Yes, there is no airs, and I used to buy osmanthus cakes for my sister."

Ms. Chu Yu couldn't help laughing when she heard this, it's a good feeling, on the way here I was worried about not being able to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cakes at the drugstore, but now it's all right, with Manager Chen, the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes will be fine.

Seeing the smile on Chu Yu's mouth, Fu Rong couldn't help asking: "Sister, what are you laughing at?"

Madam Chu Yu quickly put away her smile, and said, "No, it's nothing, don't you want to learn something, happy."

Fu Rong seemed to have thought of something, she smiled strangely, and said to Madam Chu Yu: "Sister, it's because Chen Guanshi bought you sweet-scented osmanthus cake, right?"

"Go, ghost girl, what are you talking about?" Madam Chu Yu said embarrassingly.

"Oh, what does that elder sister mean that you don't want to eat osmanthus cakes?" As Fu Rong said, she conjured up a small cloth bag out of nowhere, and she didn't need to look at Chu Yu's wife to know that it was full of osmanthus cakes.In the past few days, Ms. Chu Yu hadn't left the sweet-scented osmanthus cake every day, and the smell of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake was so familiar that she couldn't be more familiar with it, her nose had already told her what was in the cloth pocket.

"Who says I won't eat it, bring it here, bring it here, ghost girl."

The two of them were talking and laughing, and they were fighting and walking inside, when they suddenly looked up, they saw Master Chu standing there with a dark face.

Master Chu is very strict about medicine, especially for those who study medicine, let alone being late, even joking and playing around in the pharmacy will be punished.Madam Chu Yu naturally didn't know about this, and because Fu Rong had fun with Madam Chu Yu, she forgot about it.Seeing the dark-faced Master Chu, Fu Rong remembered it now, was startled, and hurriedly pulled Chu Yumaid's sleeve, and the two of them stood obediently in front of Master Chu.Master Chu said sharply with a dark face: "Follow me." After speaking, he turned around and entered the back hall.

Chu Yu and Fu Rong followed behind with beating hearts, guessing how Master Chu would punish them.

After entering the back hall, Master Chu stopped in front of a medicine grinder, and said without turning his head: "Today, you two were late for a stick of incense, and you were still chasing and fighting in the medicine shop. It's the first day for you, so I won't punish you severely, use this to grind and finish those medicines next to it." After speaking, he walked into the main hall without looking at Chu Yu and Fu Rong.

Madam Chu Yu made a face behind Master Chu and said to Fu Rong in a low voice: "What's the matter, isn't it just a little late, as for what? People are a little happier.”

"Sister, stop talking, don't let the master hear it, it will be terrible, come and grind the medicine. It's not so easy to grind medicine. If you can't finish it, maybe we don't even have food today. Not to mention your sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

As soon as she heard the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Madam Chu Yu immediately ran over, picked up a big dustpan from the ground, went to the front of the medicine mill and began to grind the medicine.Just kidding, it's sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Seeing how Mama Chu Yu immediately started to work when she heard the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Fu Rong couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.Madam Chu Yu was carrying the medicinal materials, but she didn't see Fu Rong coming to help her. She felt very strange. Looking back, she saw Fu Rong covering her mouth and laughing beside her. Ah, let me tell you, if I can’t eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake today, I won’t let you eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake for a month. Oh, no, where’s your bag of sweet-scented osmanthus cake? Wait to be punished with me."

Hearing Ms. Chu Yu's words, Fu Rong couldn't help being taken aback. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake was a trivial matter. If the lady made a fuss again and angered the master, it would be fatal. She quickly took out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from her sleeve and handed it to Chu Yu. mother.

Madam Chu Yu took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, she didn't rush to eat it, put it in her bosom, and started to work with Fu Rong.

It is not difficult to grind the medicine, but it is tiring. Just pushing and grinding is enough trouble.Ms. Chu Yu, who had never done any work, her arms were already sore and sore, and she couldn't exert any strength, as if they were broken.

Seeing the pain on Chu Yu's face, Fu Rong couldn't bear it anymore, ran over to pull Chu Yu up, and pushed the grinder away by herself.Madam Chu Yu was not humble anymore, and came to the side to help Fu Rong get the medicinal materials.After a while, the two exchanged again.The work was done quite quickly, and half of the medicinal materials were finished without much effort.

Master Chu walked to the back hall with his hands behind his back. Seeing how busy the two sisters were, most of his anger disappeared, and he thought to himself: Well, a child can be taught, even if he is naughty, he is still young.The so-called hard work can make up for one's weakness, it will be better when you are older.Master Chu couldn't help laughing as he thought about it.God knows if Master Chu would burn their beards in anger if they knew that they were trying to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Master Chu put his hands behind his back, couldn't bear to watch the two girls work hard, coughed lightly, trying to attract their attention.The two looked up at Master Chu, Fu Rong quickly put down what she was doing, and wanted to salute the master, but she was grabbed by Mrs. Chu Yu unexpectedly.Madam Chu Yu lowered her head and continued to do her own work, but her mouth was not idle, she snorted softly and said strangely: "Go to the front hall for medical treatment, this is the back hall, no one is allowed to enter, listen to your coughing , it seems to be a cold, go and go, find a doctor in the front hall, don't make any trouble." As he spoke, he slowly raised his head, without even giving Master Chu a chance to speak, and continued: "Oh, so it's Daddy Ah, you have a cold, so hurry up and get some medicine, I think you know what medicine to get, right?" After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and continued with the work in hand.

Master Chu smiled helplessly, and was not annoyed, but he had a plan in mind, and said slowly: "Mrs. Yu, my father is getting old, and I can't remember some things. Tell my father, what should I do with this cold?" Do it?"

Madam Chu Yu is so smart, she already knew that her father wanted to test her on purpose, although she was upset about being punished, but she was her father after all, so when it came to the topic, she couldn't be ambiguous.

Madam Chu Yu did not put down the work in hand, and said unhurriedly: "People with colds are mostly those with weak constitutions, mostly people with impermanent lives, mostly old people and children, and the mild ones are weak all over the body, have runny nose and cough, and then die. It is easy to injure the liver and lungs, and the healer needs platycodon grandiflorum, herbaceous seeds, angelica dahurica, green fruit, six qian each, cicada, wood butterfly, five qian each, mulberry leaves, forsythia, Miao Neijin, Loupi, Nansha ginseng, eight qian each, Zhejiang Fritillaria, Houttuynia cordata, reed root ten qian, plus three qian raw licorice, take three doses in total to recover from illness."

Master Chu was not in a hurry to say whether it was correct or not, and then asked: "Then why are these medicinal materials used? Can you specifically talk about the efficacy of these medicinal materials?"

"Greenflower, clears the lung, clears the throat, clears the phlegm. Cicada clothes, disperses wind and heat, soothes the liver and regulates qi. Fritillaria, clears away heat and resolves phlegm, lowers qi and relieves cough. Reed rhizome, clears away heat and promotes body fluid. The effect of qi protecting the liver and lungs is beneficial to detoxification and regulating qi.”

Now Madam Chu Yu lacked confidence, originally there were [-] kinds of herbs, but it was only because she didn't learn them well in her previous life, she only remembered four kinds, so she was afraid that her father would get angry, so she just made up nonsense.Master Chu didn't pay much attention to it, he was quite satisfied with Chu Yu's answer, he smiled and said, "You and Fu Rong, go to rest, I will tell you about the various medicinal materials in half an hour."

"No need, we can still do it, who told us to have fun, besides, we are not people who give up halfway, right, Fu Rong."

Poor Fu Rong's face was already red from exhaustion, and she was sweating.I wanted to rest on the slope of Master Chu, but before I opened my mouth, I was blocked by Mrs. Chu Yu, so I had no choice but to look at Mrs. Chu, then at Mrs. Chu Yu, nodded, and continued with the work in hand.

Master Chu didn't say anything, but he admired Madam Chu Yu's stubbornness.Studying medicine is inherently more boring than interesting, and you must have this tenacity if you want to continue studying.Master Chu didn't say anything more, just smiled, shook his head and walked out of the back hall.
