Chapter 126 You
"My uncle took my eldest brother and the others to catch crucian carp, saying that they would help you produce milk.
Also, Grandma and my second sister are already boiling red eggs and discussing how many eggs each family should receive. Shen Lingzhu stepped forward to pour water for her aunt and asked if she wanted something sweet.
Mrs. Hu just wanted to see the two children again, but then she thought that Xiao Zhuzi was also a child, so she asked them to drink boiled water.
But Shen Lingzhu helped her sit up and just took a sip when a cry came from the cradle. Before Shen Lingzhu turned around to the cradle, another cry followed.
No matter how softly she coaxed them, they both kept crying.
She stretched out her arms to hug him, but halfway through she remembered that her newborn brother or sister was too soft and she didn't dare to hug him.
So he fled directly: "Aunt, I'll call grandma over."
Mrs. Hu couldn't help laughing when she saw her running away in a panic. Then she tilted her head to look at the two crying babies in the cradle beside the bed, and pretended to turn over to take one out.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Qi, who was always paying attention to the movements in the main house, came running over nimbly before Shen Lingzhu ran out of the hall?
"I'll do it, let them drink some water to clear their intestines, and then we can talk about feeding." Qi poured the water very neatly, then took out a baby and gave it to Hu to feed her.
She moved gently and quickly, holding the other one in her arms and feeding him water.
Shen Lingzhu watched as the grandmother and aunt each used a special spoon to magically feed water into the baby's mouth. She asked, "Can we only use a spoon to feed? Isn't there a small tube for them to suck water through?"
"Straw pipes like those are too hard and can easily hurt the baby." Grandma Qi said without looking up:
"Little Bamboo, go and boil the eggs. Ask Big Bamboo to bring a large basin of hot water."
"I can carry it." Shen Lingzhu raised her fist to show her strength.
Grandma glanced at her and said: "You can help with the lactation work, let Dazhuzi do it."
"Oh." She really couldn't do this. After running into the kitchen and telling her senior sister the truth, she continued to ask, "I feel like Grandma is deliberately sending me away."
Shen Miaozhu motioned her to go outside the kitchen and whispered in her ear the word "production care". She understood instantly.
Then he asked, "Then why are you allowed to be on the side?"
"Because I study medicine, I asked you to come with me to the Qixing Temple to bless a layer of halo, but you were not happy." Shen Miaozhu has learned many kinds of medicinal food so far.
After gradually becoming familiar with the Taoist priests, she followed behind to take the pulse of those seeking medical treatment and occasionally participated in pulse diagnosis. Not only did no one say anything, Taoist Priest Xuan Lingzi would sometimes also give her some advice.
She really wanted her junior sister to learn some trauma care, such as tendon massage, acupressure, pain relief, bone setting, and common trauma prescriptions, etc. Ancient Chinese medicine has specialized surgery.
"No, no, the words in the book recognize me, but I am not familiar with them." Shen Lingzhu felt that the simple first aid she learned before was enough for her daily use.
She firmly believes that as long as she exercises more and practices martial arts to strengthen her body, she will basically not have any serious illness.
If it’s a minor illness, the senior sister can prescribe medicine. Why should we both focus our energy on the same thing?
So she slipped away from her senior sister and went into the kitchen to call her grandfather, and discussed fighting while they were cooking.
Grandpa Huang Shouchuan originally just wanted to fool his little granddaughter, but he didn't expect to hear her say that she was going to another city to sell bellows next month?
The old man immediately refused: "After the frost at the end of September, it gets colder day by day. You are not allowed to run around as a child."
"My eldest brother will accompany me, and Master Shen and the others will go with us. It's like a study tour." Shen Lingzhu had already guessed from his uncle's words his real intention of letting him and his eldest brother go on a long journey. Making money is a by-product, and learning is the key.
But grandpa didn't know, "No, no, you are alone and weak..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the little granddaughter grab a piece of firewood as thick as two fingers and chop it with one hand. The firewood broke with a crackling sound.
“You,” Grandma snatched the half piece of firewood from her hand and checked if she was injured, “Luckily you are not hurt.
Firewood is not a bare stick. If you chop it like this without paying attention, you will get hurt by the small forks on it."
After a pause, he helped his little granddaughter sit down and said, "Practicing martial arts is first and foremost for the purpose of nourishing the body. This kind of behavior that hurts oneself is the most repulsive."
Shen Lingzhu nodded in acceptance, and tried to defend herself: "I just wanted to prove to Grandpa that I'm quite strong.
Besides, keeping fit can help you live a long life."
"You!" Grandpa rubbed her head, "Grandpa doesn't know any famous boxing or kicking skills, I just learned a little bit from an old hunter.
Do you really have to go out with your big brother? Dazhuzi is going too?"
"My second sister is not going. She is still learning skills at the Qixing Temple." In order to reassure the old lady, Shen Lingzhu said that he would not go too far, and would go home to rest for a few days after visiting each city.
Grandpa pondered for a moment and said, "I'll let your uncle go with you later."
"No, no, no, uncle won't go." Shen Lingzhu was waving her hands when her uncle Huang Zongqi came in carrying fish. "Why don't I go?"
After her grandmother relayed this, her uncle asked, "October? Master Shen and Mr. Xia are getting married in October. Are you sure they're free to go?"
"Their marriage will be more legitimate. Now there are fewer and fewer people studying at Master Shen's place. For the sake of her family, she will definitely be willing to earn more money." Shen Lingzhu also told them to split the troops into two groups, with Seventh Uncle Shen He in charge of the other group.
Grandpa thought about it and asked, "Is it feasible for Shen He to be in charge of the whole journey alone?"
“It should be possible if Xia Xing and Cousin Zhi follow us.
It doesn't leave Zhili, and it only goes south, not north." After Shen Lingzhu told the truth, she tentatively asked her uncle if he wanted to take charge of the whole journey and sell more.
My grandfather immediately objected and said that we could just travel around Zhili, and at most go from Shunde to Zhangde Prefecture, but he didn't recommend going any further.
“My uncle is still adjusting the route, but grandpa is knowledgeable and experienced, so please give us some guidance.
I'll go get the map, I just drew it." Shen Lingzhu got to work right away, asking his uncle to help him light the stove.
Grandma watched her rush to the main room and sighed to her son, "Da Zhuzi was raised by the old lady in law, and he has a steady and generous temperament.
When little Zhuzi was three years old and started to learn, his mother-in-law's health gradually deteriorated and she no longer had much energy to teach him.
Look, her playful personality now is very similar to your sister's when she was little. And now she's interested in learning martial arts."
He thought about it and looked at his son with some suspicion: "When you sent them to the capital some time ago, did you fight in front of them?"
"Absolutely not, and my sister was very well-behaved when she was little." You have no idea that your son can handle the big and small bamboos neatly by himself without any help.
Huang Zongqi said: "Dazhuzi is now practicing Ba Duan Jin with the Taoist priests.
Xiao Zhuzi can't stand this kind of soft yet tough body training; she prefers the kind of clean and sharp punches that knock people down."
"Huh? Who have you beaten in front of her?"
"No one."
"really?"
