Fang Qingshi sorted out the herbs that needed to be collected more, and asked Shi Xiuying to tell those who went into the mountains to collect herbs that the spices in the cellar should be arranged according to the length of time in the cellar.
I also found special herbs to brew a jar of plaster, cut pieces of cloth of suitable size and put them together.
"Sister, do you want to go home?" Fang Qinghe asked in a low voice: "Brother Duan calls you boss?"
Fang Qingshi looked at his little sister and said with a smile: "You are a little kid, so don't think too much."
Fang Qinghe stuck out her tongue and sent her sister to the gate with a smile. Fang Qingshu came to Hua Erniang's house with a basket in her arms.
Hua Erniang, who was sitting on the chair, looked at Fang Qingshi and waved: "Come here, Second Grandma wants to ask you something."
Fang Qingshi moved a small bench and sat down on it. She took out the plaster from the basket and said, "Second Grandma is suffering from leg pain, right? This is a plaster specially made for leg pain. I'll help you apply it."
"Ouch, you kid is so attentive." Hua Erniang looked at Fang Qingshi with a smile. The Hua family had disappeared in her generation. She was childless and had no idea that she would still have someone when she got old.
Come and take care of her.
While Fang Qingshi was busy spreading the plaster, he said: "At the beginning of spring, cold air enters the body easily. My elder brother told me about your leg pain. This plaster contains scorpions and centipedes, which are very poisonous.
The effect of chasing the wind and strengthening the body is good.”
Hua Erniang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay."
"Okay, change it once a day, and you will feel comfortable in three or four days." Fang Qingshi finished her work and looked up at Hua Erniang: "Second Grandma, what do you want to ask me?"
Hua Erniang smoothed Fang Qingshi's hair behind her ears. She wanted to ask this girl if she was not welcomed in her husband's family and why she hadn't consummated the marriage yet, but she held it back. Although she was concerned, she could ask
Wouldn't this be like stabbing a knife into the girl's heart?
So, I asked: "Can I still use honey?"
"Use." Fang Qingshi took out a few fragrant pills from the basket: "If you can't sleep well at night, just put this next to your pillow to help you sleep peacefully."
Hua Erniang took the fragrant pill and smelled it, her eyes lit up: "Honey was used here?"
"Yes, Second Grandma, that's why I use a lot of honey. These are a type of spices. Many kinds of spices use honey. Your honey is of the best quality, so you need as much as you can." Fang Qingshi smiled.
Let's talk.
Hua Erniang was happy now: "Okay! I'll give you all the honey from Second Grandma, and I don't need any deed. You come and get it. It's useless to get more money and things. I'll just have enough to eat and drink."
"Well, it's not your fault, I'll go home first." Fang Qingshi once again instructed how to use the plaster and soothing pills, and then went home.
Hua Erniang was still thinking that such a good child should have a good life in her husband's family. When she can walk again, she will definitely go to the village to find out what's going on.
Fang Qingshi came back early, and it was only after noon when he got home. Zhou Ling and Wang Ying were busy collecting herbs. They didn't forget to practice the calligraphy taught by Fang Qingshi. When they saw Fang Qingshi coming back, Wang Ying ran away quickly.
He came over and took the basket: "Girl, you're back. Our house has been very lively these past two days."
"Oh? Let's hear it." Fang Qingshi didn't care about the people in Lijiazhuang making trouble, let alone the Zhou family. Now that Li Jingtai was the only one around, she didn't dare to make trouble even if she wanted to.
Wang Ying pulled Zhou Ling over: "You learn from the girl, and I will cook for the girl."
Zhou Ling immediately learned the lesson, shook her head, and spoke in an old-fashioned way: "Congratulations, Miss, congratulations, Miss, this is a happy event. Madam, I'm from Luwu County."
Fang Qingshi was amused by Zhou Ling's appearance and laughed out loud. She sat on the small bench and looked at Zhou Ling with interest.
Zhou Ling immediately imitated Wang Ying's actions: "Who are you? Our girl is not at home."
"Hey, this door can still be used?" There was a bit of yin and yang in the old-fashioned tone, which was very vivid.
After Zhou Ling finished studying, she looked at Fang Qingshi doubtfully: "Girl, aren't you angry?"
Fang Qingshi smiled and said: "Why are you angry? Someone came to propose marriage to your girl during the mourning period. The person came from a wealthy family. Although she is a servant, she has a good background and a well-off family."
"But that matchmaker is really annoying." Zhou Ling whispered, "Look at her attitude, she is really snobbish."
Fang Qingshi stood up: "That's right, you two did the right thing. If someone comes to our door and says unpleasant words later, don't be polite."
While washing, Fang Qingshi also thought that the old man next to Mrs. Zheng should be the old woman who accompanied Mrs. Zheng last time. Since Mrs. Zheng was close to her, she found a matchmaker to come to her house.
I think Mrs. Zheng disagrees, so I have to pass it on in retrospect. The sooner this matter of being a villain is resolved, the better.
Without resting after the meal, he took out some spices that were due in the cellar and prepared to send them to the incense shop early tomorrow morning. Now that Li Jinghe has gone to the capital, the business of the Fang family's incense shop must be good.
So good that everyone in the streets knows that unless Li Jingrui doesn't come back, his greed will be aroused as long as he comes back, and only in this way can this person be driven into the eighteenth level of hell from the root!
In the evening, the people who collected herbs came back. When Fang Qingshi was picking herbs, he knew that there were not many people collecting herbs. In other words, the three sisters-in-law of the Li family were very protective of food, but few people in the village knew about it.
Just wait a little longer.
When Nan saw Fang Qingshi at home, he saw that the little daughter-in-law's face was rosy and her complexion was getting better and better. She snorted secretly, "I can only take advantage of it. If I spend such a small amount of money to manipulate a fool, I will be punished sooner or later!"
After settling the wages, Fang Qingshi asked Li Cuihua and several others to stay and help collect the herbs. Pan and Zheng were also a little jealous, who was afraid of making more money? But Fang Qingshi's intention was very obvious, he just asked them to collect herbs, not anything else.
Don't let me get involved.
When Nan returned home, she heard Mrs. Zhou next door crying while she was cooking. She rolled her eyes, brought two sweet potatoes and knocked on the door.
"His aunt is here." Ms. Zhou's eyes were like rotten peaches, and she chatted with Mr. Nan.
Nan put down the sweet potato and said, "There's nothing interesting at home. What's wrong with you? You can't cry all the time."
"The eldest son is dead, and the second son is gone. I haven't seen anyone for several days. It's a difficult life for us and my mother alone." Mrs. Zhou said, wiping tears again.
Nan sighed: "That's right. You have been living this life for half your life and you thought you were successful. What's so pitiful is that it's the mother who loves her own flesh and blood. It's not like other people, even a couple, is dead.
It doesn’t prevent others from living a good life.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help grinding her teeth and glanced at Mrs. Nan: "Seeing that you go to their house every day, you have to tell the old sister-in-law what you see. We can't let a yellow-haired girl bully us. What do you think?
."
Nan clapped her mouth in embarrassment, patted her thigh and said: "I see our friendship for so many years, old sister-in-law, the Fang family has opened a shop in the county now, I am collecting some medicine in exchange for some money, you think about it
Think about it, where did the Fang family get the money to open a shop? That is not something that three people can do."
Zhou's heart skipped a beat and she looked at Nan: "Is Jingrui lending the money to her?"
"I don't have that much. Come on, I still have sweet potatoes at home. If you don't have anything to eat, tell me." Nan stood up and walked away quickly. After walking a few steps, he looked back at Zhou and then took a detour directly to Fang Qing.
