She took the black sesame paste that had been seasoned with white sugar from Little Lotus and handed it to the two of them. Especially before he handed it to the old lady, he even thoughtfully stirred it with a spoon, so that the white sugar and sesame paste were evenly mixed.
The old lady looked at the black sesame paste and didn't know where to start. While hesitating, Old Master Gu had already taken the first bite. When the rich, sweet, and numbing fragrance gradually melted in his mouth. Old Master Gu could not help but praise," Sweet but not greasy. The fragrance is mellow and the aftertaste is endless…" He could not help but send the second spoonful into his mouth.
Looking at her son eating with relish, the old lady could not help but feel hungry. Her son had always been reserved. To receive such praise from him, it must be a delicacy of the highest quality. In addition, the thick fragrance of the sesame paste filled the entire room, making it even more difficult for her to reject the sweet temptation.
Under Ling 'er's expectant gaze, she slowly brought the spoon to her mouth and took a small bite. Decades of being a matriarch had made her very restrained. Her eating movements were especially elegant, unlike Ling 'er and the others who ate until their "beards" grew out.
When the first mouthful of black sesame paste entered her mouth, the old lady's eyes lit up. One had to know that women had no resistance to sweet and delicious snacks. Although she didn't praise it, from the way she ate the second and third spoonful without hesitation, as well as the expression of enjoyment on her face, it was obvious that she admired this kind of small food that didn't look very good.
Soon, the bowl in the old lady's hand was empty. Master Gu had already filled a second bowl and was eating with relish. The old lady looked at the black sesame paste in her son's bowl and her heart moved. However, she still restrained herself from letting Ling 'er fill her second bowl.
Gu Ling 'er took the bowl of porridge from the old lady and handed it to Little Lian. She smiled and said,""Grandmother has already eaten dinner. Although the black sesame paste is delicious, it is not suitable to use too much. Only when the water flowed slowly could he slowly taste the taste. Don't worry, Grandmother. When the black sesame paste is perfected, I'll definitely send you more. This kind of food is very simple to eat. You can either brew it with boiling water or boil it. You can also choose the sweetness according to your preferences.”
The old lady nodded in agreement.""My good granddaughter is right. When one is old, one should not be immersed in the desire for food. Otherwise, even if the worms in the stomach are satisfied, the stomach will not be able to bear it.”
"Grandmother, don't worry. Granddaughter is researching food that can strengthen the spleen and stomach. I'll send it to you in two days." I promise that I will be able to make your spleen and stomach stronger than a young man. You can eat whatever you want and use as much as you want. You don't have to worry about anything else.”
"You're really my good granddaughter!" His words made the old lady very happy. What the elderly cared about the most was their health. To use a more vulgar phrase to describe it, the older they were, the more afraid they were of death. In the past few years, the old lady's health had been deteriorating. Although she pretended to be free and easy on the surface, her heart was getting worse and worse, so she looked less and less energetic day by day. As his son, Old Master Gu was anxious. He invited famous doctors home every two or three days and sent expensive soups to the house as if they were free, but there was still no improvement.
In the past ten days, the seemingly simple snacks and food that Ling 'er had sent were not only delicious, but the effect of recuperation was even more obvious. When he showed the herbal tea and herbal medicine recipes to the doctors, they actually looked enlightened and praised the herbal medicine recipes. Some even asked to copy a copy back. Although it is said to be carefully studied and perfected, we won't say what method it is actually used in.
Coupled with the spiritual energy from the flowers and plants that Ling 'er had personally planted, the old lady's body was getting healthier and healthier day by day. In the past few days, people had been carrying them around in soft bags. Even from the inner room of the upper room to the main hall where they ate, they had to rest several times if they walked by themselves. It had only been less than ten days, but with the slight support of his son, he had actually walked the long distance from his room to Scholartree Garden by himself. Facts speak louder than words. The effect of Ling 'er's food could be seen.
After hearing Ling 'er's thoughtful words and thinking about the recent changes in her physique, the old lady could not help but pull her thin body into her arms and gently stroke her bony back. Her heart ached. This child had grown up in hardship, but he was still so understanding and completely considerate of others. This temperament and character were really rare.
Old Master Gu looked at the warm interaction between the grandfather and grandson, his eyes filled with warmth. He remembered the purpose of this trip and pretended to clear his throat.""Ling 'er, your grandmother and father came here this time to see if you're doing well these days. Secondly, it's to remind you that tomorrow is a big day. You have to prepare well.”
Only then did the old lady remember the purpose of this trip. She gently let go of Ling 'er and looked at her palm-sized face with an extremely loving gaze. She tenderly tucked the disobedient strand of hair behind her ear and then said warmly,"Yeah! Tomorrow, the shaman of Azure Dragon City will come to cast a spell for you. Grandmother also knows that you've suffered all these years…Don't worry, as long as Grandmother is alive, I won't let anyone neglect you or bully you!”
Ling 'er rolled her eyes in her heart. Although she did not know if this so-called shaman was really as effective as the rumors, she still had to leave. He just didn't know if the Great Shaman Master would see through his soul transmigration tomorrow. He didn't want to get rid of him as if he was a demon who took over someone's body. That would be tragic.
At the thought of this, she could not help but feel uneasy. She unconsciously leaned closer to the old lady, her big eyes revealing a look of fear.
When the old lady saw this, she felt even more pity for him. After all, he was still a child. When he was about to face unknown people and things, it was understandable for him to be afraid and panicked. At the thought of this, the old lady pulled Ling 'er to her side and held her hand, giving her encouragement and courage."Don't worry, Ling Er. That Shaman is very famous in Azure Dragon City and even the entire Fengchi Country. Many families who were possessed or haunted by demonic qi had returned to normal after asking him to perform a spell. This courtyard of yours is filled with Yin Qi and you are unwilling to move. Then please ask Grandmaster to expel the Yin Qi from this courtyard. In the future, Grandmother and your father will be more at ease when you live here.”
Ling 'er nodded obediently, but she did not think so in her heart. Didn't Gu Ling 'er live here for the past ten years? Why didn't she see any of you "care" about her? After he entered Gu Ling 'er's body, the various abnormalities that he had shown made people think of the prophecy made by the divinator ten years ago. Only then did they remember to treat her well. How much of this kinship was sincere and how much was fake?
Old Mrs. Han looked at her "understanding" performance with satisfaction. She patted her hand and said,"My good granddaughter, don't worry. Tomorrow, when the mage is performing the ritual, grandmother and your father will come to cheer you on. Grandmother also knows that you are afraid of meeting strangers. Grandmother will accompany you the entire time. Don't be afraid!”
Ling 'er revealed a tender and timid smile as she bowed to her grandmother and said,""Granddaughter has made Grandmother worry. Don't worry, I'll be very calm tomorrow. I won't embarrass the Gu family, grandmother, and father. His granddaughter had also been looking forward to this ritual. For the past three days, his granddaughter had been bathing and fasting every day. She had sincerely prayed in front of Goddess Guanyin, asking her to bless tomorrow's ritual. In the future, Ling 'er could be like her sisters and be filial to her grandmother!”
When the old lady heard this, she hugged Ling 'er in her arms again and called out to her sweetly. Old Master Gu smiled, stroking his beard, his eyes filled with endless gratification.
The servant girls brought by the old lady weighed the pros and cons in their hearts. Could it be that the Third Miss of Scholartree Garden was going to have a change of fortune and be doted on by the Old Lady, no longer the little concubine daughter who was ignored in the past? The servant girls in the mansion, especially the capable servant girls who followed their master, were all like shrewd people. Their ability to adapt to the situation was definitely higher than the captain and the first mate! At this moment, they looked at Ling 'er with sincere and respectful eyes and smiles…
