"Shh, Aunt Six, please keep your voice down, stop talking." Mrs. Chen panicked and gestured to Aunt Six, meaning not to let the children in the room hear her.
Seeing Mrs. Chen being so panicked, Aunt Six lowered her voice slightly, but it was still loud. "Sister, they will know about this sooner or later. It's not a problem for you to hide it now."
Mrs. Chen is afraid that her daughter will object. When the time comes, she will soften her heart, and she might disagree again. In that case, the pressure on Wanwan will be even greater. Anyway, no matter what the outcome is, even if others poke her spine every day, she will
Gotta get this done.
"Let's hide it for a while. I'll tell her when the matter over there is settled. Then I won't be able to regret it."
Aunt Six glanced at Madam Chen, and her eyes lit up. Madam Chen was wearing a brand new blue gown today, with the collar buttoned all the way to her neck. It made her neck look thin and long, and her skin was smooth.
White.
At first glance, Mrs. Chen's appearance is quite good, and she has a well-proportioned figure and good-looking eyebrows. She can be described as still charming, but she is malnourished for a long time, her body is very weak, and her face is a bit...
It's quite haggard, otherwise it would look better.
"Well, anyway, I made an agreement with the other side to meet today. If that works, the matter will be settled. The good day will be at the end of the month."
"So fast?" Mrs. Chen's eyes heated up, and she suddenly couldn't control herself.
She thought that this matter would be delayed for at least a month and a half to a month, so that she could make some preparations. However, she did not expect that if she really decided, it would only happen in the next few days.
By then she will no longer be a member of this family, and she will not be able to see her daughter and son often. As for the reaction of the people in the old house, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is not yet known.
When she thought of this, Mrs. Chen suddenly felt that her heartbeat was beating like a drum, and even her breathing was suffocating, as if her heart would jump out of her chest at the next moment.
What should I do? Ah Wan is still young, so it’s best to find someone to entrust her to. Otherwise, even if she leaves, she will feel uneasy.
"Sixth Aunt, can this matter really not be delayed any longer? I want to delay it for a few days."
"Oh, my eldest sister, don't hesitate any more. That butcher is very popular, and matchmakers come to their house every day, breaking down the threshold. He is a thoughtful person, and he said he would agree to your side first.
Yes, let me see you first before talking."
"If you miss it then, don't cry to me. I am devoted to you and for your own good."
"Okay then, you wait outside and I'll let you go later."
Mrs. Chen returned to the kitchen, wiped the handles, and went into the house to say hello to Tang Wanwan, saying that she and Aunt Six were going to town to pick up new shoe patterns, and asked her to take care of the house at home and wait for her return.
Tang Wanwan couldn't help but feel a little strange, so she quickly asked, "Mom, don't Sixth Aunt and the others bring it back to you on weekdays? Why do you have to go there in person today?"
Madam Chen suddenly panicked and didn't know how to communicate for a moment. Ah Wan was too sensitive and reacted quickly. Madam Chen thought about it for a while before saying: "She wants to pick out some good-looking tricks and come back to try them out."
Keep doing it.”
Tang Wanwan took out Gu Mingyuan's seasoning bag and said, "Mom, I think this pattern is very pretty, why don't you try making this." It turned out that the embroidered pocket of this seasoning bag was very good by Tang Wan
She put the ribbon on her body as a fabric like a handkerchief, and she had already poured out the other seasonings. She still hoped that her mother could learn to embroider, and maybe she could sell it for a good price.
Madam Chen didn't expect that her daughter would even think of this. It seemed that she just wanted to stop her from going to the town. Could it be that she had heard something? Madam Chen suddenly had a straight face and pretended to be unhappy, "Awan
, don’t you want my mother to go to the town? That’s fine, if you don’t want to go, don’t go, we mothers will just sit at home and wait for Master Lu to bring us food, and then we will be laughed at.”
Tang Wan didn't expect her mother to be angry, so she immediately softened her heart and said hurriedly: "Okay, then you can go, but try to come back as soon as possible. I want to go to the mountains today to see if I can find anything useful.
"
"Okay, mother got it." After Mrs. Chen said that, she rushed out of the house without even looking back. After rushing out, tears flowed down silently. She cried and twitched, using her hands.
She covered her mouth for fear of crying.
When Aunt Six saw this, she dragged her outside. While walking, she did not forget to do her ideological work.
...
"Mom, why is something weird today?" Tang Wanwan said this entirely because she relied on a woman's sixth sense. Her intuition was always very accurate, but she couldn't tell what was wrong with Mrs. Chen.
Just as she was thinking about it, Tang Ruyue turned over and looked at her with a surprised look on her face and asked, "Sister Wan, who are you talking to alone? It's so scary." Imagine you just woke up in the morning and caught you.
She saw a person next to her with her eyes straightened and mumbling to herself. When Tang Ruyue woke up, she happened to hear Tang Wanwan mumbling to herself. She only heard the word "mother" and "
There was something strange or something like that, but she didn't hear the specific words clearly.
"Oh, it's nothing. Why did you wake up so early, Xiaoyue? You slept well last night." After Tang Wanwan finished speaking, she put the embroidered bag containing the seasoning bag beside the bed and turned around.
. She planned to squint for a while and get up later. She was really busy last night, and now she felt as if the bones in her body had been torn apart, sore and painful.
"I had a great sleep last night. I have never slept on such a comfortable bed. Sister Wan, you are so smart. If you sell this bed, you might get a good price."
Tang Wanwan was actually thinking about having a bed. Now that her family was very poor and there was no labor force to work with, it was just her mother and her. If she didn't find a way to make money, she would have to starve to death.
She smiled lightly and said, "When it's daytime, let's find more willow sticks, cane, soft branches and the like."
"Okay, as long as it's something Sister Wan wants to do, I will definitely help." After Tang Ruyue said that, she curiously picked up the embroidered bag that Tang Wanwan had just put next to the pillow. This embroidered bag had been filled with seasonings.
, naturally has a fragrance. Especially with the smell of star anise and bay leaves, the fragrance is particularly fragrant.
Because Tang Wanwan doesn't know much about the structure of this world, and she doesn't know what crops, spices, plants, etc. are here, if there is a modern sixty or seventy, she won't have to worry about having no way to make money. If so.
No, she could only continue to catch fish in the river and wait until the fish had eaten enough.
I saw Tang Ruyue holding the embroidered bag in her hand, looking at it and smelling it, with a look of joy and envy in her eyes. "Ah, who embroidered this? This pattern is so beautiful, I don't know what it's called."
what name."
"Also, this bag feels so soft and looks like the material is very good. Sister Wan, where did you get it from?"
"Oh, someone else gave it to me. It's embroidered with pampas grass."
"What is pampas grass?" Tang Ruyue asked curiously.
"It's water calamus. When it grows in water, it will grow a long flower stem. It is also a kind of Chinese herbal medicine."
The scientific name of pampas grass is water calamus, which is the happiness of believers in the language of flowers. Many people like to hang calamus at home, or dry it to make sachets, which are used to ward off evil spirits and ward off spirits. In fact, pampas grass is a very good herb that can prevent and stop bleeding.
, the most important thing is that it has another identity and is also an ingredient in making anesthetics. In the "Compendium of Materia Medica", Li Shizhen noted its medicinal uses of calamus, but there was no Mafei powder at that time. It was not until Hua Tuo researched Mafei powder.
In addition to adding a small amount of poppy leaves and other Chinese herbal medicines, it also added calamus. There were even a lot of instructions about calamus in the back, and Tang Wanwan remembered it.
"Ah, I remembered it, it turned out to be like this, great."
"It's great, oh!" Tang Wanwan suddenly jumped up from the bed with excitement. She was so excited that she didn't even put on her shoes and started dancing on the spot. Tang Ruyue almost ran out to call someone, but
She thought her sister Wan had gone crazy.
She looked at Tang Wanwan with a dull expression and said, "Sister Wan, are you okay? Don't scare me."
After Tang Wanwan had finished enjoying herself, she turned around and hugged Tang Ruyue and said, "Xiaoyue, you know, I finally thought of a good way. I want to treat my elder brother's leg."
Tang Ruyue was almost choked by Tang Wanwan, and then sat back on the bed with a dejected look on her face, tapping on the embroidered pocket with her hands. While tapping, she said: "Sister Wanwan, didn't you do it again?
Sweet dream, that’s why you’re talking nonsense. I’ve heard you say it many times before, and never succeeded. Besides, you don’t have the money to hire a doctor from the capital. I heard my mother say that all the doctors in the capital are...
His medical skills are so good that he can save even the dead. Viagra is so seriously ill that it must take a miracle doctor to cure him."
After she finished speaking, she added, "Humph, it's all that rich lady who is ungrateful. Wait until I see her that day and see if I don't scold her until she's bloody."
Tang Wanwan couldn't help but sigh: "We don't know who that family is, and I won't tell you. I probably won't know for the rest of my life." When Tang Wei's accident happened, Tang Wanwan was still young, and Mrs. Chen
He and Tang Jianfei also kept silent about this matter. In addition, the daughter of some government had never appeared. This matter was like an unsolved case, hanging in the hearts of Mrs. Chen and her family.
In fact, if the Tang family goes to inquire, they can also get some names. The key is that in such a large Tang family, no one is willing to stand up for them. This matter can only make Tang Wei suffer.
Today, if Tang Ruyue hadn't broken the casserole and asked what the pampas grass was, Tang Wanwan wouldn't have paid too much attention to it. However, when she saw the pampas grass growing in the clear water, her mind suddenly went crazy.
Like a repeater, I also thought up some relevant instructions about pampas grass.
When she thought of poppies, some information related to their growth, care, functions, etc. suddenly appeared in her mind. And this information can be called an encyclopedia. "This is too amazing. Could it be that I turned on some amazing golden finger?"
?”
Tang Wanwan knew that her memory was good, but she didn't want it to be too clear.
