Beauty is too weak to be bullied

Chapter 18 Ancestral Formula
The Wang family is the most common type of family in Chang'an City. The men work in the shop to support the family, and the women take care of the elderly and children at home.

Children don't have the opportunity to study, and they have to do things when they grow up a little.

Boys go to taverns, restaurants, shops to do odd jobs, or go to rich families as servants.

Girls help with housework and take care of younger siblings at home, and then do some needlework, small cakes, sweet soup, etc. to subsidize the family and save dowry.

Under normal circumstances, the money is just enough for food and clothing. If there is a wedding, funeral, illness or accident, you will have to be nervous for a long time.

Therefore, when Mrs. Wang heard someone knocking on the door, she yelled angrily, "Who is it?"

Cao Ya, the eldest daughter of the Wang family, opened the door. Seeing Du Qingtan, she blushed, and then yelled louder at her mother, "It's the fifth lady next door!"

Although the two families are neighbors, the Du family is a prominent family, while the Wang family is an out-and-out commoner. They are two completely different identities.

Therefore, even if they had frequent contacts, the Wang family would only call Mrs. Yang, Du Qingtan Wuniang, and Tuantuan Xiaolang.

So this is a VIP visit.

Mrs. Wang's face turned red all of a sudden, she held up two hands still stained with her papa, and hurriedly said: "Please sit down quickly, I'm so embarrassing! Clean it up right away!"

As he said that, he saw his youngest son standing aside with his bare buttocks howling, kicking his buttocks: "Get out! Hurry up and hide in the house! You worthless brat!"

Wang Sanlang howled even more, howling, "Puff puff ~" There was a sound, and a puddle of watery stool spewed out on the spot.

"Uh..." Mrs. Wang was even more embarrassed, but seeing Du Qingtan staring at the three-year-old child intently, looking at the person and at the poop on the ground, she seemed to think that she didn't see clearly enough, and she even walked forward two steps.

Mrs. Wang felt ashamed and was about to slap her son wildly: "You debt collector! Come early in the morning to kill me."

But was stopped by Du Qingtan: "Miss Wang, it's not Saburo's fault, don't beat him, it's poor."

Mrs. Wang was very embarrassed: "Wu Niang was quarreled by me beating and scolding the child, right? I woke you up early in the morning, and it won't happen in the future."

We all know that Du Qingtan has been bedridden and cannot be disturbed, this must be to remind them.

It's just that the Du family has a scholarly family, and their words are euphemistic and nice, but people have to be conscious!

What a shame!It's all the fault of this unsatisfactory boy!

Mrs. Wang wanted to reach out to beat her son again, but she saw that Du Qingtan was already squatting in front of the child, took out two eggs, and said softly: "Do you want Sanlang to eat eggs?"

Wang Sanlang stopped crying when he saw the egg, and nodded vigorously with his mouth puckered.

"Then stick out your tongue and show me?" Du Qingtan put down the egg, and gently pinched the child's veins.

Chronic diarrhea, watery stool, pale complexion, listlessness, cold extremities, pale tongue with thin white coating, thready pulse.

It is a symptom of spleen and kidney yang deficiency.

Du Qingtan smiled and handed the eggs to the bewildered Mrs. Wang: "Don't be too little for the children."

"How can you think it's too little!" Mrs. Wang took the eggs and asked in confusion, "Why does Wu Niang want to look at Sanlang's tongue?"

Du Qingtan hurriedly said: "I just happened to know a folk remedy for children's diarrhea! It's a secret recipe handed down from my ancestors, and I ate it like this when I was a child!"

She didn't talk about food and medicine, but only folk remedies, because she was afraid that Mrs. Wang and others would not have heard of this idea, and she named it the secret recipe handed down from her ancestors, because she was afraid that people would not trust her.

Mrs. Wang was really overjoyed: "Really? He has been dragging for two days, if this continues, it is really worrying..."

People like them usually don't ask a doctor when they are sick, unless the illness is very serious, it depends on whether the child is lucky or not.

If the medicine is not enough for a few days, and there is no money to see a doctor to buy medicine, it depends on whether he can survive by himself.

The Du family is a noble family with a profound foundation, and the secret recipes handed down from the ancestors must be useful!

Du Qingtan said: "Mistress Wang, don't worry, my folk remedy is very simple, but it can only be used if it is symptomatic. I have to ask about the child's condition."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "Ask!"

"Did you eat something unclean? Have you asked a doctor for medicine? Or have you taken any other folk remedies?"

Du Qingtan asked very carefully, even if it is medicinal food, it must be administered dialectically according to different individuals, and it cannot be messed up.

Mrs. Wang just shook her head: "The whole family eats the same food, so he was the only one who pulled it off. The doctor didn't invite me, so I ate some hawthorn."

Du Qingtan said: "Hawthorn is only used to hurt food, he is not. So, you go to the pharmacy and spend a few dollars to buy a few dried ginkgo nuts, peel the skin and take the kernels and grind them into fine powder, crack an egg into a small hole, Put two pieces of white nut powder in one egg, put it upright on the fire and roast it, and give it to him to try."

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang paid two coins to ask her eldest daughter Wang Caoya to go to the pharmacy to buy dried ginkgo fruit.

Du Qingtan then went home, and did not mention this matter to Yang Shi, only advised her to rest for nothing.

But Yang couldn't sit still, because she thought that maybe the uncle of the prime minister's clan could help, so she went back to her natal family to seek help.

Li Erzi followed from a distance, taking care of him all the way.

Yang was not at home, but Du Qingtan was not idle either.

After driving Tuan Tuan to study and practice calligraphy under the eaves, she stared at the side, and pricked up her ears to listen for the movement outside the door.

Just after the application time, there was a knock on the door.

Dugu stood there without begging to be fooled, criticizing: "I opened the door without asking who it was, and I'm not afraid it might be a thief."

Du Qingtan was too lazy to talk to him, so he talked to him through the door: "Is there any news?"

Dugu didn't ask and had no intention of going in: "The empress has returned to Chang'an since she was a god. She has already entered the palace, and all the civil and military officials have returned with her. The Xiao family is preparing for a big banquet in the future, and the guests are all dignitaries.

Among them is Mr. Yang whom you specifically asked this morning.As for Mr. Yang, his house is healthy and no one is sick.

This person has a despicable character, smooth and mediocre, he only knows how to please himself and protect himself, and I'm afraid he won't meddle in your family's nosy affairs.Don't count on him! "

"How do you know I'm asking about Mr. Yang? You weren't there at the time."

It seems that there is another road missing, Du Qingtan is quite disappointed, but it is even more strange that Dugu Buqiu is so familiar with this person.

You know, this kind of thing is not something that an idler like Zhu Dalang can know.
