"Yo! Nanny Chen, what are you praising?”Hong Xing, who was standing on the porch, saw Nanny Chen coming from afar and smiled like a flower.
Nanny Chen did not have a good impression of this greedy Hongxing, but she had to listen to Miss's instructions and build a good relationship with her. Her face was full of smiles as she replied,"Our Young Lady personally prepared the food for Old Furen.”
Hong Xing's eyes lit up. She thought of the rose crisp that Nanny Chen had brought her last time and felt her saliva flow faster. She swallowed and smiled."Third Young Miss is really filial…However, Old Furen's stomach hasn't been feeling well these few days. I reckon Third Young Miss 'good intentions will be let down.”
" Our Miss said that this food can help alleviate the symptoms of stomach-qi, relieve satiety, quench thirst, strengthen the stomach, and help digestion…" Nanny saw Hong Xing's unconcealable craving and sneered in her heart, but she patiently replied to her.
Hong Xing gently removed the snow-white gauze and couldn't take her eyes off the exquisite purple jade-like flower. Her smile was so sweet that it was cloying. She rubbed her stomach pretentiously and said," To tell you the truth, Nanny Chen, my stomach hasn't been feeling well recently. I don't have much appetite. Look..."
You still don't have an appetite? He was almost drooling! If you had an appetite, even a cow wouldn't be enough for you. Nanny Chen thought contemptuously in her heart, but she did not show it on her face."Don't worry, Miss Hong Xing. I'll get Little Lian to send your share to you later!”
Hong Xing 'er's face lit up as she nodded and said,""How can I do that? This is personally made by Third Miss. Old Madam probably hasn't eaten yet. Wait here, I'll help you report it!”As he spoke, he happily entered the side hall.
The smile on Nanny Chen's face faded. She pouted at Hong Xing's back and muttered softly,""Morality…"
Hong Xing curtsied in front of the old lady and reported with a sweet smile,"Old Madam, Nanny Chen from Third Miss's room has brought you some food!”
The old lady's face was a little tired and she couldn't muster up any interest. She waved her hand and said,"Don't mention food in front of me. I feel uncomfortable hearing it!”
Master Gu, who was sitting below the old lady, advised worriedly,"Mother, how can your body take it if you don't eat? At least use a little!"
The old lady glanced at him and said weakly,""My chest is blocked and my stomach is full. I can't eat. Hong Xing, let Nanny Chen take it back.”
Hong Xing's eyes flashed. She wanted to say something but held back. She bent her knees again and said,"Yes-"
Lady Liu, who had secretly observed the expression on her face, suddenly stopped her. She smiled gently and said,"Old Furen, this is also Third Girl's filial piety. If you want to eat, let them be brought in first.”
The old lady thought for a moment and revealed a weak smile. She nodded and said,"Wife, you're so thoughtful. It was rare for the third girl to have such a heart. Let her bring it in!”
"Ah ~" Hong Xing agreed crisply and walked to the porch in small steps. When she reached the door, she pulled a long face and complained to Nanny Chen in a low voice,""I told you that the old lady wasn't feeling well and didn't want to use anything, but you didn't believe me! If it wasn't for Lady Liu's help, the food would definitely have been rejected. I'm so embarrassed in front of my sisters…"
Nanny Chen said," Miss Hongxing, you must be tired. Don't worry. Our Third Miss will remember your kindness!"”
Hong Xing smiled again and urged,"Hurry up and go in. Don't make the masters wait!”
The corners of Nanny Chen's mouth twitched. You stopped me from talking, or I would have gone in long ago.
Holding the celadon soup basin that was still steaming, Nanny Chen entered the side hall. After bowing to the master and madam, she said softly,"Third Young Lady heard that Old Furen's stomach is not feeling well, so she specially made steamed arrowroot flowers to show respect to Old Furen. Miss said that this flower could help improve dizziness, polythirst, chest fullness, vomiting acid, and other symptoms that hurt the stomach. Cooking it by steaming was light and refreshing, and it also helped with the absorption of the stomach. Therefore, he personally cooked this steamed arrowroot flower and invited the old madam to taste it.”
"Oh? This child was quite thoughtful! Red dates, quickly take it!" When the old lady heard that it could improve her stomach qi, she reluctantly became interested. One had to know that these days, even though she was a doctor, she had been seen and taken medicine, but there was no improvement. The delicacies were served in front of him, but he had no appetite at all. Her body was getting weaker by the day, and she was also anxious! One had to know that the older a person was, the more taboo it was for minor illnesses and disasters, afraid that they would not be able to survive.
Hong Zao took the soup bowl and placed it on the table in front of the old lady. She gently lifted the white gauze covering it. An alluring fragrance spread out, making people's spirits rise. The people present were all mortals, so of course, they couldn't see the faint spiritual energy flowing out of the soup basin.
The old lady looked at the transparent and bright light purple flower wrapped in the air. She gently sniffed the fragrance in the air that made her appetite increase. She gestured for Mrs. Yoo to serve her a small bowl.
Mrs. You handed the bowl and chopsticks to Old Mrs. Gu. Old Master Gu's eyes were filled with anticipation, hoping that she could use more this time.
Everyone's gaze stopped on the porcelain bowl that the old lady was holding. The old lady used her chopsticks to pick up a few pieces of Kudzu flowers and put them into her mouth. Old Master Gu, Madam Liu, and even the red dates and green plums serving the old lady all looked at her eagerly, waiting for her reaction.
The old lady chewed carefully a few times and slowly swallowed. She then raised her chopsticks and picked up more arrowroot flowers to put into her mouth. One had to know that the steamed arrowroot flower was soft and fragrant, which was suitable for the taste of the elderly. Under everyone's gaze, the old lady did not say a word of praise, but she used her actions to prove the deliciousness of this food. For the past few days, the old lady, who could not even eat half a bowl of porridge, had eaten a small bowl of steamed arrowroot flower for the first time!
When the bowl was empty, the old lady nodded gently and said,"The taste is indeed quite special.”After saying that, he asked the red dates to fill half a bowl for her.
Both Master Gu and Lady Liu had a relieved smile on their faces, especially Master Gu. He had been worried about the old lady's illness for the past few days. Now that the old lady could finally eat, he could finally relax. "Since Mother says it's good, then it must be good." Give me a bowl too. Furen, you should also use a little. If it's really as Third Girl said, it's also good for your body.”
Lady Liu nodded and smiled." The flower does have the effect of treating gastric qi. Ling 'er must have heard that the old lady was not feeling well and asked the doctor. That's why she thought of using the flower to make food!" What a good child!"
The old lady's face showed a sympathetic expression. She turned to look at Nanny Chen and asked,""How is Third Girl's body? Are you still taking your medicine?"
"Replying to Old Furen, Third Young Lady's body is already much better and she has also gained a lot of weight. Doctor Hou said during the follow-up that Miss was recovering very well and there was no need for medication. Now, Third Miss would walk in the courtyard every day. In her spare time, she would even personally tend to the flowers and plants in the courtyard. She said that moderate exercise could strengthen her body!”Speaking of Ling 'er's body, Nanny could not help but smile.
"Oh? Ling 'er also knows how to take care of flowers and plants?" Lady Liu finished half a bowl of Ge Hua and immediately felt very comfortable. The expression on her face became even gentler.
"Replying to Furen, all the flowers and plants that Third Young Lady has taken care of have all grown happily and flourished. The third young miss had personally planted this flower and had personally plucked it when the first ray of sunlight shone on it. It was said that the flowers and plants at this time had absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, and the effect was the best. He also personally made food and ordered the servants to bring it to the old lady to taste.”
"Yes! I ate quite well. The feeling of chest tightness and bloating really disappeared, and my appetite came back. [Golden hairpin (Madam Yoo's maiden name), please give me some more bird's nest porridge.]”The flowers and plants nourished by Ling 'er's spiritual energy were already rich in spiritual energy. Moreover, they were personally cooked by her, so the effects were naturally immediate. The old lady used two small bowls, and the rich spiritual qi flushed out the turbid qi in her body. She only felt that her stomach was empty, and everything she looked at was fragrant. She no longer looked like she had lost her appetite just now.
