Aunt Huo sighed helplessly, and then asked with concern: "Lady, how is the situation?"
She seemed to have heard a cough coming from inside before, and when she walked into the yard, there was a smell of medicine. It was really pitiful for these two little ones.
I lost my father when I was young, and I haven’t grown up yet, and my mother is like this, ugh!
Hearing this, Yan Shiqing frowned and said, "It's caused by overwork. We have to wait until she wakes up and ask questions to confirm the details. I'm afraid she needs to take good care of her injuries due to overwork, but it looks like it's difficult at this house!"
"Girl, what are these five labors and seven injuries?"
Aunt Huo understood that it was caused by overwork, but she really didn't know what the five injuries and seven injuries were.
"The five labors and seven injuries refer to various diseases and pathogenic factors. The five labors include looking for a long time to hurt the blood, lying for a long time to hurt the qi, sitting for a long time to hurt the flesh, standing for a long time to hurt the bones, and walking for a long time to hurt the tendons. The seven injuries refer to the injuries caused by excessive fatigue.
Spleen, strong anger can damage the liver, heavy weightlifting can damage the kidneys, sitting in wet places for a long time can damage the kidneys, drinking cold drinks can damage the lungs, physical exertion can damage the mind, wind, rain, cold and heat can damage the body, and fear can damage the will."
"According to what the girl said, the young lady is suffering from physical and mental injuries caused by lying down for a long time?"
"It should be more than that. The shopkeeper also said before that this little lady lost her husband in the early years and raised the children by herself. It is not easy for a weak woman to raise two children in this capital. I'm afraid one of them
There are several of them. Now I will know after she wakes up and inquires carefully. When I entered her room just now, I smelled a strong smell of medicine, which is used to calm the nerves. "
When Grandma Huo heard this, she sighed: "It turns out to be a soothing medicine. No wonder, I heard a cough at the door just now. Not long ago, I already fell asleep."
When Xiaoyun came back with the little girl carrying water, Xie Yang also came back.
"Sister Yan, the money you gave me today is a bit too much. I bought five fish, some fresh shrimps, and some rice and noodles."
Xie Yang said, picked up the basket in his hand, pointed to a small cloth bag in Xiaoyun's hand, his face turned red and he whispered hurriedly: "There is not much noodles at home!"
"It's okay! Whatever you want to buy, just buy it. Sister, I'm only responsible for eating it, as long as it's delicious!"
Yan Shiqing smiled. She looked at the two young children, then at the adults who were already asleep in the room, and said, "Your mother is asleep, can you do it?"
The little girl nodded vigorously: "It's okay, my mother has taught me and my brother. Sister, please wait a moment, my brother and I will go and get ready."
"If you want to help me, I can't do anything else, but I can still make a fire or something."
Yan Shiqing knew that this was a cooking skill, so she didn't ask anyone to help, she just said it in a formal way.
"Well, sister, if you are not in a hurry, you can take a stroll here. The people in our alley are also skilled in crafts. Sister, if you are from outside and want to buy seawater beads, go straight to the left when you go out from my house.
The fifth store sells them. Although Uncle Meng’s seawater beads are a bit small, they are all very good. From my side, they will be ready in about half an hour!”
Yan Shiqing's eyes lit up when she heard seawater pearls. Aren't they pearls? They are just fresh water and seawater.
Pearls are of high value whether they are used for whitening or beautifying the skin or for medicinal purposes. It is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Pearls are salty, sweet, cold and non-toxic, soothing the eyes; coating the face with pearls makes people moisturized and good-looking. Apply to the hands and feet, and remove
It can relieve skin inflammation; remove phlegm, remove facial spots, stop diarrhea; remove fright and fever in children, soothe the soul; stop white turbid spermatorrhea, relieve acne and treat poison...make the luster white." xdw8
When she came to this era, she had never seen them in Da Chu. Maybe it was related to the lack of water and few rivers there. There should be many in Hongwu Kingdom. After all, it is close to the sea and has abundant water resources.
"Okay, then I'll go and have a look! Mom, Xiaowa, let's go. Xiaoyun, watch over here. If the brothers and sisters need help, you can lend a hand. If anyone is satisfied later, I'll give it to you.
You bring some back."
"good!"
When Xiaoyun originally put the water into the water tank, she saw that the water tank was all the way down and was about to pick up a bucket. Now that Yan Shiqing said this, she naturally had no reason to respond.
When Yan Shiqing and others walked out of the Xie family's courtyard, Aunt Huo chuckled and said, "This guy from the Xie family is young, but he is quite smart. Seeing that he has business coming to his door, he did not forget to introduce it to the neighbors. I think he will go there soon.
He must have a good relationship with his family. The girl has never seen the sea water pearls, so why did she go as soon as the Xie family brother told her?"
"Mommy, if they really sell seawater beads, I really want to buy them. Not to mention how good seawater beads are for people when they are made into facial masks, but because of their medicinal value, I will buy more. And there are other things.
It can be made into jewelry, rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings, all of which are excellent items."
After Yan Shiqing said this, Nanny Huo and the little boy became interested in the sea water beads.
"Go straight to the fifth house on the left, it should be here, little kid, knock on the door!"
The little boy looked at the door, which was also ajar. Knowing that someone was at home, he knocked on it and asked, "Excuse me, is someone at home?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of rushing footsteps coming from inside, and then the door was opened.
"Who are you?"
The person who opened the door was a woman in her early twenties with a dark complexion.
"This eldest sister, we were introduced by Xiao Yang. He said that your family sells seawater beads, so I came over to take a look!"
When the woman heard this, she looked happy, opened the door quickly, and said loudly: "Please come quickly, please come quickly. Pearl, please bring out all the seawater beads in the house."
After a while, I saw a six or seven-year-old girl coming over with a cloth bag: "Mom, here we come!"
The woman opened the cloth bag, looked at it, and said, "Go and get the pink and black ones!"
As she spoke, she casually pulled a bamboo basket over, laid it down on the ground, and placed the white pearl bag on top. She said with joy and restraint, "Girl, look at my seawater pearls."
Although it is small, it is very good. Look at the color and shape..."
The first time Grandma Huo saw these beautiful and colorful beads, she fell in love with them.
The girl said that this can also be made into jewelry. It seems that she has to buy some and make the jewelry later and send it back to the lady and Shaoyao. I think they will definitely like it.
Also, when we came all the way here, the girl also told us how to use the sea water beads.
Then she would try it out first and if it was good, she would send some more back to Madam.
Yan Shiqing saw that the pearl was indeed not big, and looked similar to a pomegranate seed. However, when it was not polished, the luster was soft and iridescent, which was really good.
"How do you sell your seawater pearls?"
The woman smiled and narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and said: "If you set up a stall outside, it costs two cents each. But since the girl found my house and was introduced by Xiaoyang, it costs one cent each. By the way, there is also the black one.
Yes, two for one penny, girl, do you want it?"
When Yan Shiqing heard that it was so cheap, she was very surprised. This is a pearl!
