The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 71

[Chapter 71]

Mother Quan had placed more than 20 kinds of medicinal materials in the house. Before explaining the properties of these medicinal materials to Oak Xi, Mother Quan said: “To learn a medicinal diet, you must first be familiar with various medicinal materials, and then familiarize yourself with the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials. You can’t make any mistakes, you know?”

Oak Xi nodded and said she understood: “I know, if you make a mistake in one medicine, then what will be boiled will not be a tonic, but a poison.”

Mammy Quan was very satisfied with Oak Xi’s words: “You are right, so be very careful. Because many medicinal materials look similar, but the medicinal properties are completely opposite. If you make a mistake, it may be a life.”

Oak-hee became more serious after hearing this, and took notes. With the experience of learning from Mr. Song, Oak-hee is still very fast at taking notes.

After class, Mammy Quan looked at Oak-hee’s notes and said, “You don’t have to memorize these notes in such detail. Just write down the most important parts.” After that, she explained to Oak-hee how to Notes are done well and fast.

Oak-hee was inspired.

After Mammy Quan finished speaking, she said, “What I teach you, you can’t tell others.”

Yuxi nodded and agreed without thinking, “Don’t worry, mama, I won’t tell anyone else.” Mammy’s medicated diet has been accumulated for many years. She has only just learned from mama, how dare she follow it casually. Others say, what if something goes wrong? She can’t afford this responsibility.

Grandma Quan nodded slightly: “Remember what you said.”

It didn’t take long for Oak-hee to understand what Mother Quan said. Pharmacology is not as simple as making some medicated meals as Oak Xi thought. Pharmacology involves a lot of things. Of course, practicing medicine requires experience and practice, and it is impossible for Oak Xi to cure diseases and save people after learning medicine, but he must understand. Mammy Quan can let people know that she is teaching Yuxi’s pharmacology, but she can’t let the people in the imperial government know that she is teaching Yuxi’s medicine.

In a stressful and busy life, I always feel that time flies by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it’s the end of the year.

In the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, goose feather-like snowflakes rustled and fell, forming a snow curtain in the sky. Like catkins, as white as silver and as moist as jade, blossoms and clusters rose and fell, shining with cold silver light.

Oak-hee walked out and looked at the snowflakes falling outside, muttering that it would be difficult to walk on snowy roads, and that the things on Zhuangzi were not easy to give away.

Hongshan didn’t know what Yuxi was thinking, so she just smiled and said, “Rui Xue is a good year, there will be two more snows, and next year’s harvest will be good.”

It snowed heavily for two days and two pages, and it was white outside. The day the snow stopped, it happened to be Mr. Song’s holiday.

Yuxi was about to go to the main courtyard after breakfast when she saw Yuchen’s maid, Shiqin, coming over.

Shiqin gave Yu Xifu a gift and said, “Fourth girls, our girls are in the courtyard, please come over too.” Mammy Quan couldn’t move to the Rose Garden because she had to prepare medicated meals for Yuchen. The courtyard is also relatively small and has no rooms, so Quan Ma still lives in Ting Yun Pavilion. Oak-hee must pass every afternoon, and if there is no class in the morning, he will pass. So this year, Yuxi’s dinner was basically used in Tingyun Pavilion. After getting along for a long time, Yuxi and Yuchen’s relationship naturally became better and better.

Yuxi was a little puzzled: “What is the third sister doing in the garden on such a cold day?” The back garden of their mansion is now desolate and not worth seeing.

Shiqin sold her off: “The girl will know when she arrives.

Yuxi followed the maid to the garden, and before she arrived, she smelled a strong fragrance. Turning the corner, I saw several plum blossoms blooming proudly.

In the ice and snow, the plum blossoms in full bloom are particularly delicate and beautiful.

When he got closer, he saw Yuchen was collecting the snow on the plum blossoms. Yuxi asked strangely, “Third sister, what are you doing?”

Yuchen said with a smile, “I’m collecting snow flakes from plum blossoms, and I’ll use the tea made from them later.” Making tea in the snow and making tea with the snow water on the plum blossoms is a great thing.

The corners of Yuxi’s mouth twitched as she boiled tea with snow water, um, the book did say so, but she is a layman and felt that she might as well read more medical books if she had free time: “Third sister, in fact, I think if I can make this The scenery is painted, it will be more beautiful.”

Yuchen was in a good mood at this meeting, and after listening to Yuxi’s words, she felt that it made sense. The scenery here is very beautiful, and it would be good if it was painted, but now I mainly collect the snow on the plum blossoms: “Finish what you are doing first.”

Yuxi didn’t say anything, she had no right to peck Yuchen what she wanted to do. Because in the eyes of others, what Yuchen does is what every girl should do, but she is fed up with studying pharmacology. People like them, even if they want to take care of their bodies, they should hire a professional, so why waste their time learning.

Seeing Yuxi standing still in the snow, Hongshan reminded in a low voice, “Miss, the three girls are collecting the snow water from the plum blossoms, you should also help.”

Oak-hee came back to his senses and joined the snow-collecting team.

The group took half an hour to collect the snow on several plum blossoms. Yuchen smiled and said, “Fourth younger sister, come back to Tingyun Pavilion with me, and taste the taste of the tea brewed with this snow water.”

Yuxi also learned the tea ceremony, not by her own volition, but by Mammy Quan’s compulsion. Mother Quan said that cooking tea with fragrance is a must-have skill for famous ladies and must be learned. Oak-hee studied for three months, and when he became proficient at making tea, he let it go.

When they arrived at Tingyun Pavilion, Yuxi followed Yuchen into the tea room. This tea room was specially set up by Yuchen in order to learn the tea ceremony, and it was also here when Yuxi was learning to cook tea.

The small stove was already on fire, Yuchen poured the collected snow water into the small copper pot, put it on the small stove, and then sat back at the tea table with Yuxi.

Yuxi looked at a set of purple sand tea set on the tea table and asked, “Sanjie, who gave this tea set?” A few days ago, there was a set of blue-and-white porcelain almond porcelain tea set on the table.

Yuchen smiled and said, “This is given to me by my uncle. My uncle said that the tea is more mellow when boiled in a purple clay pot.”

Although Oak-hee could make tea, he was not keen on it and knew very little about it. At the moment, he smiled and said, “Ping Qinghou really has a heart.”

Yuchen took out a handful of tea leaves from a box of tea cans. Seeing Yuxi’s puzzled expression, he said, “This is Yunwu Tea.”

When Yuxi was learning about tea, he saw the introduction of Yunwu Tea and said: “It is said that Yunwu Tea has a metaphor of ‘the color, fragrance and delicateness are more delicate than orchids’. Today we have to see if the rumor is true.”

Yuchen nodded and said, “Well, Yunwu tea is famous all over the world for its ‘mellow taste, beautiful color, fragrance, and clear soup’.” Yuchen had never drank this tea before.

Oak-hee actually didn’t drink much tea, and she didn’t want to drink tea no matter what others said. It wasn’t because Oak-hee had some quirks, but Mammy Quan said that women shouldn’t drink tea too early. Oak-hee admired Mammy Quan very much, and what she said, Oak-hee obeyed like an imperial edict.

The water boiled and blisters, Yuchen came over and looked at it seriously. The water used to make the tea is also very particular, neither too old nor too tender, otherwise the taste will be worse.

Yuxi looked at Yuchen’s graceful and skilful movements, and felt that it would be a pleasure to watch Yuchen make tea without drinking tea.

After making the tea, Yuchen brought a cup to Yuxi.

Yuxi took the tea, looked at the tea soup in the teacup like jasper, took a sip, and said, “It tastes like Longjing but more mellow, um, very good. Third sister, where did you get this tea?” But don’t be the Marquis of Pingqing again.

Yuchen said happily: “Well, this is my uncle’s new tea. My uncle didn’t get much, he only got a small jar, and he gave me two taels specially.”

Yuxi knew that Marquis Pingqing was kind to Yuchen, but Yuxi had a very subtle feeling that Marquis Pingqing was too good to Yuchen. But it had nothing to do with her, and Yuxi didn’t want to say more, she thought she was envious of Yuchen for having such a good uncle!

After tasting the tea, Yuchen went to the studio to paint again, and took Yuxi with him.

Until lunch time at noon, Yuchen’s painting was not finished: “Fourth sister, come and have dinner with me!”

Yuxi said, “Okay.” After more than a year, Yuxi felt that her decision could not have been more wise, because her health was getting better and better. Of course, it has something to do with her insisting on exercising every day, but the medicated diet she eats every day also has a lot to do with it.

What Yuxi didn’t expect was that Yuchen invited her to Tingyun Pavilion again early the next morning. Yuxi was a little helpless, she didn’t understand why Yuchen always liked to pull her when she was drinking tea, painting and playing the piano! Occasionally it works, but she doesn’t have that much time in succession, and she also has her own things to do!

Yuxi said to Shiqin, “Tell the third sister, I have something to do today, let’s do it another day!”

Shiqin didn’t expect Yuxi to refuse, so she wanted to persuade a few more words, but seeing Hongshan shaking her head at her, Shiqin decided not to say more, only said: “I’ll go back and tell my girl.”

Hongshan sent Shiqin out, and when she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Hongshan whispered, “My girl has no choice. Since she has decided not to go, it is useless to say more.”

Shiqin murmured secretly, this is very similar to the three girls.

Yuchen was a little disappointed to see that Yuxi didn’t come. She wanted Oak-hee to come over to listen to the piano today, and there wasn’t even an audience beside her when she was playing the piano. If Oak-hee was there, she would give some advice. But she also knew that she couldn’t force it: “Since the fourth sister is busy, then forget it.”

New Year’s Eve means red envelopes for Oak-hee, and everything else is business as usual.

After the Lantern Festival, Mr. Song came back. After the chess art class the next day, Mr. Song left Yuxi alone and said, “The Four Books and Five Classics have been taught, and I have to stop this class.”

Oak Xi had no regrets and said, “Sir, I don’t want to learn painting anymore.” Her mind was now on pharmacology, and she didn’t want to waste time on painting.

This time, Mr. Song readily replied, “Yes.” Oak-hee was talented in painting, but she didn’t want to spend time at all. How could she just talk in class and finish her homework? So Oak-hee’s painting skills haven’t improved much in the past two years.

After two years, Mr. Song knew that it was impossible for her to convince Oak-hee to study painting seriously, so he just let her go. Anyway, Oak Hee wasn’t one of her students.

After a few days, Yuxi knew that Mr. Song had started to teach Yuchen history books, and asked Mammy Quan, “Mammy, what’s the use of studying history books?”

After teaching Yuxi for more than a year, how could Mammy Quan not understand Yuxi’s thoughts, and said, “Study the history books, you can cultivate one’s own body, regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world.”

Yuxi was stunned, studying history books can cultivate himself and govern the country and the world, so tall!

Seeing this, Grandma Quan said with a stern face, “Didn’t I say that no matter what happens, Mount Tai must collapse in front of you without changing your face?”

Yu Xi twitched her horns, she would have to practice for twenty years before she could reach the state where Mount Tai collapsed in front of her without changing her face. But she didn’t dare to say these words, otherwise Quan Momo would have to punish her again. Yuxi quickly changed the subject and asked, “Mommy, why didn’t Mr. Song let me study history with Yuchen?”

Mammy Quan didn’t hide it from Yuxi, and said bluntly: “Mr. Song doesn’t teach you, because he doesn’t want you to be a threat to the third girl.”

Yuxi was dumbfounded, and after a while, she asked, “Mummy, did you make a mistake? Mr. Song is worried that I will be a threat to the third sister? How can I be a threat to the third sister?” No comparison is good or not, Oak-hee didn’t understand why Mr. Song would be so worried.

Mother Quan shook her head helplessly: “You are too arrogant. Although the three girls have natural advantages, they are far inferior to you in some aspects.” Yuxi is very purposeful in doing things, which is not suitable for people like Mr. Song. Will like people who are too purposeful.

Yuxi said incredulously: “How is it possible?” Yuchen is far inferior to her in some aspects, isn’t this a fantasy!

Oak-hee’s exaggerated look succeeded in pleasing Mammy Quan. Mother Quan said with a smile, “Don’t have no confidence in yourself, nine out of ten people of your age in the capital are not as good as you.”

Oak-hee blinked, as if to say, am I really that good?

Grandma Quan said helplessly, “Why don’t you have confidence in yourself? Your chess skills and calligraphy are better than San-Girls, and embroidery is even better than San-Girls.”

Yuxi looked at Mammy Quan’s puzzled look, and she said honestly, “I think Third Sister is a fairy in the sky, out of reach.” In Yuxi’s heart, Yuchen is an unattainable existence!

Grandma Quan was a little bit dumbfounded: “Peony is the king of flowers, graceful and luxurious. But can you say that lotus and orchids are inferior to peony?”

Yuxi shook her head and said, “No.” How can you compare different flower species?

Grandma Quan nodded and said: “Peony, it symbolizes wealth and auspiciousness; lotus symbolizes purity and tranquility, and orchid symbolizes high quality. Four girls, people are the same as flowers, so you don’t have to feel that you are incomparable. The top three girls.”

Yuxi knew that Mammy said these words to tell her that she was no worse than Yuchen. This was something Oak-hee had never thought about, and she couldn’t help but think deeply. ”

Grandma Quan didn’t bother her either.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Yuxi nodded and said, “Mommy, I won’t belittle myself again in the future.”

Mother Quan felt that the child could be taught.

Having said so much, Yuxi still didn’t forget her original intention: “Mammy, what’s the use of studying history books?” Self-cultivation, balancing the family and ruling the country and the world were too far away from her, so it was still practical.

Mammy Quan smiled, she liked Oak Xi the most, no matter how many turns she turned, she would never forget her original intention: “Reading history can increase your knowledge, broaden your thinking, and see things more thoroughly. If you learn it well, it will be much more useful than studying pharmacology and embroidery.”

When Yuxi heard this, there was only one thought in her mind, something so useful must be learned!
