Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 65
Two days later, when Wen Shu drove the carriage back from Liyuan to the city again, he saw a woman standing in front of the Earth Temple.

There was a child standing at the woman's feet, holding a bright red candied haws in his hand and licking it. His white and tender mouth was circled red by the icing sugar, which was really cute.

The woman looked around and saw Wen Shu driving the carriage coming from the front, trotted forward, a few steps away from the carriage, knelt down with a plop: "Thank you, little lady, thank you, little lady."

Unexpectedly, she would act like this, Wen Shu was startled, and quickly jumped off the shaft of the car to help her, "Sister-in-law please get up quickly, I can't bear such a big gift."

"You can bear it, my little lady saved Gouwa's life, why can't I bear it, Gouwa, come here quickly, and thank your benefactor." The woman was picked up by her, and hurriedly pulled the child who was hiding behind her.

"No, no." Wen Shu hurriedly stopped, then looked at Gou Wa, and asked the woman, "I saw that Xiao Wa's complexion improved a lot, but did it work?"

"It works, it works. Speaking of it, it's really thanks to the little lady." The woman was about to kneel down again, but was grabbed by Wen Shu. She looked around and said, "Sister-in-law does this again, but it will trap me into injustice." .”

At this moment, quite a few people passing by had already stopped to discuss. They probably thought that the woman had offended Wen Shu, who was dressed better and was still driving a carriage.

Seeing this, the woman came back to her senses, apologized repeatedly and then smiled: "I ate half of the fruit that the young lady broke open that day, and at night, the yellow smell on my face faded away, and the yellow smell on my body also disappeared. Quite a few, I followed your instructions and fed him another half the next morning, and by the afternoon, the yellow smell on his body and eyes had faded away."

"That's good." Wen Shu smiled and nodded.

The woman was also very happy: "I'm here to thank the young lady, and I also want to ask, Gouwa is currently in this situation, do you want to continue eating?"

At this time, Gouwa poked half of his head out from behind the woman holding candied haws, and looked at her curiously with his watery eyes. Wen Shu smiled at him, "Eat another half to strengthen it, do you still have some fruit at home?"

"Yes, there is still half of it left." The woman nodded repeatedly, and then said: "I will go back to my mother's house tomorrow, but if he wants to buy it then, should I bring him here directly, or?"

Wen Shu pondered for a while and said: "No, just ask him about his symptoms and tell me. It's best to see a doctor. If he hasn't seen it, you can ask him to see him first. He will tell you after the doctor's diagnosis. Me, I can judge how much fruit I want according to the severity of the disease."

"Hey, good." The woman agreed, and left with the child.

Lu Xi watched this scene quietly on the shaft of the car, feeling very surprised in his heart. When Wen Shu came back, he couldn't help but wonder: "Where did Miss Wen get these strange fruits? How can they not only increase strength, but also can For jaundice?"

Wen Shu wouldn't tell the truth, so he turned his head and glanced at him, "The fruit I bought last time was really unintentional from a peddler, but this time it's a recipe passed down from my ancestors, Guanshi Lu wants to know?"

It is very immoral to ask someone about the secret recipe. As soon as Lu Xi said that, he knew he had made a slip of the tongue, so he coughed awkwardly, "No, I'll just ask. If it's inconvenient for you, young lady, you don't have to answer."

Wen Shu nodded, "It's really inconvenient, Manager Lu forgive me."

Lu Xi smiled indifferently, and then said: "Little lady is now more and more proficient in driving. I think tomorrow I can drive alone without me watching."

"Where, where, I still need Guanshi Lu to say a lot more." Wen Shu was flattered by the compliment, but still humble on the surface.

The next day was the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

At the same time, at the same place, the woman told Wen Shu what she had inquired about in detail. Wen Shu nodded after hearing it, expressing that she understood, and then asked the woman to wait where she was, saying that she would deliver the fruit to him in a quarter of an hour. Come.

The woman was very grateful to her, and she had no objection at all.

Here, Wen Shu drove the carriage back home in a hurry, thinking that the woman said that the patient had been ill for half a year, and the doctor had diagnosed that it was indeed jaundice. It is more expensive, so I stopped after only taking it for half a month.

After dragging on for a long time, now I lie on the bed sickly all day long, unable to do anything, and the sallowness on my face is worse than Gouwa.

She thought about it for a while, and finally took all the remaining thirty fruits.

Five are for that patient, whose condition is worse than Gou Wa's, and he is an adult, so the amount will naturally be doubled, and the other five, she intends to temporarily store with the woman.

After all, she will enter the Marquis's Mansion tomorrow, and she will not be in the capital for the next half month. If the patient cannot be completely cured by five fruits, then it would be a step backward to keep some fruits by the woman's side. Just smashed the signboard.

If there are five, the man will be cured, and the rest will be left to the woman to take care of. If there are other people in need, just sell them.

As for her absence, whether the woman will miss the fruit or the money to sell the fruit, Wen Shu is not worried, because even if these fruits are not sold, they will all rot within seven days. To those who really need help, it should be a good deed.

And this is also her test for women, Dan Guo is the touchstone!

There are many strange things in the world of mountains and seas. She has no connections in the city, and most importantly, she does not dare to reveal her identity, so she needs to find someone she can trust and who does not know her background.

Immediately, he explained the matter to the woman in detail, and the woman nodded repeatedly after listening to it, expressing that she would live up to the entrustment, and then took out the consistent money from her bag: "This is the medicine money given by the other party."

Wen Shu didn't refuse, just took it, and then took out five copper coins from his waist, and stuffed them into Gouwa's hands: "Sister will buy you candy."

Seeing this, the woman hastily declined, "How can this happen?"

Wen Shu said with a smile: "I don't have much money, just take it. I won't be able to come in the next half a month, so I will trouble you about Dan Guo."

"What did you say, little lady, we have received your great kindness, even if you are a cow or a horse to repay it, how dare you say that such a trivial matter is tired."

"Sister-in-law, don't mention any more big favors. It's just two fruits. If I continue to talk about it, my face will turn red."

"To the little lady, it is two fruits, but to my dog ​​boy, it is a life-saving grace. We will never forget this." The woman looked stubborn.

Wen Shunai didn't like her, so she didn't mention this again, and asked instead: "I don't know how to call sister-in-law?"

The woman paused for a moment, then said, "My maiden name is Zhao."

Now Wen Shu was stunned, because nowadays married women usually mention their husband's surname first and then their original surname when reporting their names.

But the woman in front of her directly reported her original surname when she opened her mouth. There are two reasons for this. Either Heli was at home, or her husband died, and she was a widow and set up a female household. which kind?

But looking at the dog beside her, Wen Shu thinks it is the second type, because if it is just reconciliation, there are very few husbands who do not want children, let alone boys.

However, no matter whether it is reconciliation or widowhood, it is definitely not a happy thing for Mrs. Zhao, so Wen Shu didn't get to the bottom of it, but called Mrs. Zhao as if nothing had happened, and gave the five cents to the dog. Baby, and then confessed a few words before leaving.
