Concubine Snake Married to: The Demon Empress Will Become a Devil

Chapter 15
After packing up the books, Mrs. Chu Yu and Fu Rong hurried to eat.On the dinner table, there are plenty of dishes, including boiled chicken, two unknown vegetarian dishes, and a pot of soup.

The four of them ate quietly, they didn't talk when they ate, and they didn't talk when they slept.It didn't take much effort, three dishes and one soup came to an end. Master Chu couldn't help being happy seeing this situation, but he didn't speak, but thought to himself, this girl seems to be exhausted, this stubborn temper is really similar to me ,has hope.

After dinner, Master Chu entered the study with his hands behind his back, and Mrs. Chu, accompanied by her servants, went back to her room.Chu Yu and Fu Rong are left, and they don't know what to do. They want to continue looking for medical books, thinking that their father has already said it, and they will write it out, so there is no need to bother. Let's go back to the room, it's all my father's fault. , After a hard day, the stomachs were hungry, and the two of them ate hungrily just now, and then they stood up and tried to get their belly full. This time, sitting in the room is not uncomfortable to death.

Chu Yu thought for a while, then turned her head and said to the servants beside her, "If you see Master later, please tell Master for me, let's go for a walk in the garden."

After speaking, the two left the dining room with their stomachs in their arms, and headed towards the garden.

It was just dark, and it was quite quiet. Walking on the path in the garden, the two of them didn't speak at first, they just walked quietly, looking around bored, Chu Yu was the first to break the silence, and said to Fu Rong: "Fu Rong, what do you say?" Say, how do you feel in the pharmacy today, how are you studying?"

"Don't mention it, sister, I'm so envious when I see you talking about those medicinal materials eloquently. Look at me, after reading for a long time, I didn't see any tricks, so I just listened to you foolishly."

"Don't say that, none of us are geniuses, and no one is born to recognize the medicinal materials. When I learn to memorize the medicinal materials, it is hard work. Not only will I be scolded, but I will also be beaten."

Madam Chu Yu said she was happy, so she just said it without thinking.Fu Rong was frightened by this, and hurriedly said: "Screaming? Beating? Elder sister, what's the matter, you are the heart of Mrs. Madam, who is so bold as to dare to scold you and beat you?"

Now Madam Chu Yu couldn't open her mouth anymore, her scalp was numb for a while, and she yelled in her heart that it was not good, and stammered: "This, this, this, it's not because someone beat me and scolded me, it was when I was studying , I can’t memorize the medicinal materials, and I often punish myself and blame myself. Okay, okay, let’s not talk about this, it’s all in the past, let’s talk about other things.” Chu Yu quickly changed the topic, and then said Going down, Madam Chu Yu would probably be regarded as mentally ill by Fu Rong, "Fu Rong, how long have you been at the house?"

"It's been 7 years. When I was 8 years old, my parents brought me from my hometown in the countryside to the Chu Mansion, and I never left." Fu Rong also had a big heart, and she didn't pursue what Chu Yumao said before, and answered calmly. Madam Chu Yu.

"Oh, it's been so long, do you have any ideals?" Chu Yu continued to ask
"Li, ideal? What is that?" Fu Rong asked again with a puzzled face.

Madam Chu Yu felt that her head was about to explode. Opening her mouth casually was really tiring, but there was no way she could do anything about it, and said: "Ideal, in fact, is there anything you most want to do since you were young? It's, it's, um, it's what kind of person you most want to be..." Mrs. Chu searched for the words in her mind, and she finally got her words clear.

Furong understood what Chu Yu said, and raised her head to look at the moon that had just risen in the sky, thinking about Chu Yu's words.To be honest, it was the first time for Furong to come into contact with this problem when she grew up so big, so she had to think about it carefully.

After thinking for a while, Fu Rong turned her head and said to Madam Chu Yu: "When I was young, I heard from the old people in my hometown that the most important thing for a woman in her life is to find a good man to marry, and then have and adopt children. As for this good family, I think the emperor's family is the best in the whole world." Fu Rong paused and continued, "I heard that most of the places where the emperor goes to court and where he lives are made of jade. Ah, what is emerald made of, and the ground is covered with gold. Three meals a day, are all delicacies from mountains and seas, everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and swims in the sea.”

Fu Rong clasped her hands tightly and put them on her shoulders, her eyes looked at the moon with a hopeful expression on her face.Madam Chu Yu looked at Fu Rong, smiled and said to Fu Rong: "Then you really want to marry into the royal family, and also enjoy the life of enjoying the delicacies of mountains and seas every day?"

Furong didn't speak, just nodded slightly and looked at the moon with a smile on her face, looking forward to her future.Madam Chu Yu didn't say anything, but just looked at Furong quietly, thinking: What a naive girl, this real Snake Palace is full of intrigue everywhere, I don't know, can the chicken, duck and shark's fin still be eaten? Forget it Anyway, it is also an ideal. It is good to have ideals.

Although Chu Yu's wife often fantasized about being able to have sex with the prince in her previous life, she also knew a little about the harem, so Chu Yu's wife was also very contradictory.

The two walked slowly, thinking and talking, this was Master Chu also walking into the garden, with a piece of paper in his hand, walking towards Chu Yu and the others.Mistress Chu Yu and Fu Rong also saw Master Chu, knowing that it was Master Chu who was looking for them, and went to meet them.

Master Chu spoke first: "You two are very interested. Come on, I have already written the Eighteen Anti-Nineteen Fears and the Nineteen Fears. Take them and memorize them. I will let you memorize them tomorrow."

After speaking, he handed over the paper, didn't say anything, smiled, turned his head and walked out of the garden.Madam Chu Yu and Fu Rong looked at each other and smiled, took the paper and went back to the room.

The Eighteen Anti-Numbers and the Nineteen Fears, although important, are not difficult to memorize. Even Chu Yu, who has no writing barriers, memorized them without much effort.

Madam Chu Yu came to the garden alone again, maybe it was because the garden felt very comfortable, maybe in the previous life, those tall buildings blocked the breath of nature.Madam Chu Yu always felt that standing in the center of the garden would always bring infinite relaxation.

Walking alone on the path, breathing the smell of flowers, grass and soil, I walked into the middle of the lake without knowing it.Madam Chu Yu sat down on the edge of the stone table, leaning on her chin, looking at the moon, thinking in her heart: I don't know what happened to Mom and Dad, what are you doing now, are you in good health?
In my thoughts, the breeze blew by, and I couldn't help feeling a little bit of coolness. I shivered, stood up, rubbed my arms and walked to the room, shook my head, washed my face hastily, and went to bed.

In the morning, the sun passed through the window and sprinkled on Chu Yumao's face. Although it was warm, it still brought Chu Yumao back from her dream.Madam Chu Yu stretched, rubbed her eyes and sat up, she couldn't help wondering: Why didn't Furong come to wake me up, but it should be early to see the sun.

After Chu Yu changed her clothes, she took the basin and walked out of the room to wash her face. Standing at the door, she became dizzy. Where did she get the water? What should I do?

Just when she didn't know what to do, when she turned her head, she saw Fu Rong running over in a hurry from a distance, and seeing Chu Yu walking out of the room with a basin in her hand, she couldn't help speeding up her steps.When she came to a stop in front of Mrs. Chu Yu, Fu Rong was so tired that she was out of breath, she put her hands on her knees, panting heavily.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chu Yu put down the basin, helped Fu Rong up and walked into the door.He helped Furong sit on the chair, and hurriedly turned around to retrieve the washbasin.Back in the room, Fu Rong already felt much better, and said to Madam Chu Yu: "Sister, I'm really sorry, I watched the eighteenth episode last night, and the nineteenth was too late, so I missed the time to get up. I'm going to be late, I'm sorry, sister." Fu Rong looked at Chu Yumao with an apologetic expression.

Madam Chu Yu smiled and pointed to Fu Rong's forehead, and said with a smile: "Damn girl, what are you talking about, what are you sorry for? We are sisters, so it's an outsider to say these things. Well, pack it up and go to the pharmacy. I guess there is another bunch of herbs waiting for us today. Come, tell me where to fetch water by the way?" He said and pulled up Furong.

Fu Rong hurriedly said: "Fetch water? How can my sister do this? I know that my sister treats me well, but after all, my sister is a young lady. How can I fetch water by myself? Let others know what to do. Besides, if you let me The madam and the master know, I am a servant girl who asks the young lady to fetch water, so I am still not sure how to get home?"

Madam Chu Yu said unhurriedly: "What's the matter, why don't you just fetch water and wash your face? Don't forget, I am a person who wants to study medicine, and I will inevitably walk around to see patients in the future. I can't go anywhere Ask someone to serve you. Besides, we are all from a girl's family, and no one can do much better than the other. Let's help each other. If the master and wife know, I will tell them. Didn't you say that I belong to the master and wife? Sweetheart, if I don't ask you to go, I'll see who can say anything. It's okay, just tell me where to fetch water, or I'll come and go together."

Fu Rong couldn't resist Chu Yu, so she nodded and walked out of the room together with Chu Yu, but she refused to let Chu Yu hold the water basin, she insisted on taking it by herself, Chu Yu didn't say anything more, and went with Fu Rong After fetching water and tidying up, he asked the servants to drive the carriage and sent the two of them to the pharmacy.

Sure enough, as Ms. Chu Yu had expected, Master Chu still had a dark face and said nothing. He brought Ms. Chu Yu and Furong into the back hall, pointed to the same amount of medicinal herbs that were placed by the door as yesterday, and turned to go out.

Because they were in a hurry to go out, Chu Yu and Fu Rong forgot to bring out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and didn't eat breakfast, and the two smiled helplessly while rubbing their growling stomachs.At this moment, the two of them heard footsteps and thought it was Master Chu who came in. They turned around and began to crush the medicine. They didn't pay attention to the person who came, but they heard that the person stopped after a few steps into the back hall and said, "Miss, miss , come to rest and have something to eat, I heard from the servants who sent you here, it seems that you have not eaten yet when you are in a hurry to go out. Come, I have some sweet-scented osmanthus cake, you can eat some."

When they heard the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, their eyes lit up, they hurriedly turned their heads, saw Guanshi Chen holding a paper bag, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Guanshi Chen." They took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Chen Guanshi's hand with a smile, ran to the side and ate it. I ate it with big mouthfuls.

Chen Guanshi looked at the two and smiled. They were really cute. Chen Guanshi liked them from the bottom of his heart and treated them as his own sisters.Chen Guanshi was afraid of being scolded by Master Chu, so he retreated out of the back hall after watching for a while, and went to the front hall to help.

It was another morning, and Chu Yu and Fu Rong's little faces were flushed from exhaustion. After a hasty lunch, they were ready to accept Master Chu's questioning. The Eighteenth Rebellion, the Nineteenth Fear, and some herbs for Chu Yuma to identify, the time passed quickly.

In this way, a month passed in a row, and Mrs. Chu Yu had already identified all the medicines in the pharmacy. On this day, she and Fu Rong came to the pharmacy by car. Master Chu didn't say anything, but just pointed to the prescription on the table. Tell Mrs. Chu Yu and Fu Rong, go and grab the medicine according to the prescription, and ask to go to the backyard to grab those unlabeled medicinal materials, and pay attention to the weight, do you understand? The two looked at each other, nodded and rushed to the backyard He went, but he was stopped by Master Chu within a few steps.

The two stopped, turned around and looked at Master Chu, who slowly said, "Come one by one, Madam Yu, you go first, Fu Rong, you come here, and you can go when Madam Yu comes back." Look, Fu Rong looked back at Chu Yu's wife, Chu Yu nodded, turned her head and walked into the backyard, and Fu Rong had no choice but to walk back to Master Chu's side.Not long after, Mrs. Chu Yu came back with the medicine in her hand. Master Chu took the medicine, looked at it, nodded and said, "Well, the ingredients are right. Come on, Furong weighs it to see if the weight is right. .”

Fu Rong nodded, took the weighing utensils, and weighed the medicinal materials blindly.The results came soon, and there were almost no deviations in more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials. Furong looked at Chu Yumao excitedly, and gave Chu Yumao a thumbs up. Chu Yumao also smiled and said nothing.

Master Chu said again: "Fu Rong, it's your turn, go." Fu Rong thought that she didn't have the strength of her sister, but the master didn't listen to her words, so she went to the backyard bravely. This time was much longer than usual, see Furong lowered her head, walked over embarrassedly, and put the herbs on the table.

Master Chu looked at Madam Chu Yu, but said nothing.Madam Chu Yu stepped forward, took a look at the herbs from the table, and didn't know what to say. There were eighteen herbs in total, and ten of them were incorrect.From the point of view of the hand feel, the weight was quite a bit off, so Chu Yu didn't make any further movements and just looked at Master Chu.

Master Chu seemed to have guessed the result, he didn't say much, he closed his eyes and said, "It seems that you have made some progress in your studies, how about it, starting tomorrow, Furong will continue to come to the pharmacy to identify medicines and help, as for Yu Ma'am. Just stay at home?"

Before Master Chu finished speaking, Mrs. Chu Yu took over and said, "Why? I didn't do well, what's the matter, why?" Seeing Mrs. Chu Yu's nervous appearance, Mrs. Chu couldn't help laughing, slowly He said: "In fact, it is like this. Now it seems that you have no major problems with the medicinal materials, but to practice medicine is not only to recognize the medicine, but also to treat the disease. To cure the disease, you must first understand its veins. Come, take this " As he spoke, Master Chu took out a folded piece of paper from under his arm, and handed it to Madam Chu Yu.

Mrs. Chu Yu took the map and opened it to look at it. Master Chu continued: "This is the meridian map. It shows all the acupuncture points and all the tendons on the human body. Memorize it. This is the foundation of our medical practitioners. Ah, do you understand, Madam Yu?"

Madam Chu Yu looked at the picture, nodded incessantly, and didn't say anything else.

The next day, Madam Chu Yu still woke up very early. Maybe it was because she had returned to ancient times and had nothing to do at night, so she went to bed early and woke up early.Madam Chu Yu simply cleaned up and looked at the vein map while eating osmanthus cake. Fortunately, she had learned some in nursing school in her previous life. Although she didn't study hard, she still knew a little bit.What Ren Meridian, Du Meridian, Yongquan Point, and Renzhong Point are all well understood, but Chu Yumao still put in a lot of effort, after all, there are so many markings on the map, just looking at it gives me a headache, For a whole morning, Chu Yu's wife had only memorized less than thirty acupuncture points, and she was already dizzy.

Madam Chu Yu decided to go out for a walk in the afternoon. Looking at it this way, she probably didn't memorize the meridians and acupoints, and her brain cells were probably all strong.

After lunch, Chu Yu's wife greeted Mrs. Chu in a panic, and asked her servants to drive the carriage to the pharmacy. After a short while, she arrived at the pharmacy, and Chu Yu's wife excitedly ran in to find Furong.But before entering the door of the back hall, he was stopped by Master Chu: "Why are you going, let you read books at home and recite the meridians, what are you doing here again, have you memorized?" Master Chu asked suspiciously, to this He didn't want to dare to underestimate his daughter anymore.

Mrs. Chu Yu shook her head and said generously: "No" and then stood there without speaking. Master Chu was very angry now.You said that if you have memorized it, you will not say anything, and if you have not memorized it, you are so arrogant, this is unreasonable.

Mr. Chu blew his beard and stared at his eyes angrily. He didn't say a word for a long time, but Mrs. Chu Yu seemed to be fine, looking around, except that her feet didn't move, no matter how she looked, she looked like a tourist tourists.Master Chu really couldn't stand it any longer, and sternly yelled at Madam Chu Yu: "Stinky girl, what are you still doing here, go home and recite the meridians, if you can't memorize before dinner, you'll just wait until you're hungry at night."

After finishing speaking, she left without looking back. Mrs. Chu Yu looked left and right, and the waiters and Guanshi Chen also said: "Miss is obedient, go home and carry your things quickly, lest the master is angry and won't be able to eat tonight. I'm starving to death." Madam Chu Yu saw that there was nothing wrong with her, she turned her head and obediently got on the carriage and went back home.

It is really painful to memorize these meridians, and there are no colored pictures, and the marked places are also relatively vague. Chu Yu looked at them one by one with her head wide, and tried her best to recall her previous life I have learned the relevant knowledge, but I just don't have a clue.Most of the time, I still recite one and forget the other.Madam Chu Yu is now the first and the second eldest, so she really wished she could burn this picture directly.The time is so fast, it feels like Master Chu came back in a short while.

With his hands behind his back, Master Chu came straight to Chu Yu's room with a dark face, and knocked on the door, and Chu Yu quickly opened the door. Seeing that Master Chu had a dark face, he didn't dare to say anything, and respectfully let Master Chu into the room , and poured tea, but Master Chu didn’t look at Chu Yu’s wife at all, and said directly: “Recite.”

Chu Yu hung her head, waited and pinched the hem of her clothes, her two feet stepped on each other restlessly.Seeing that Mrs. Chu Yu remained silent for a long time, Master Chu knew that she must have said that she hadn't recited it yet, otherwise she would have started yelling a long time ago.Master Chu was also afraid that Ms. Chu Yu would be proud, which is a big taboo for medical practitioners. He was determined to improve Ms. Chu Yu's spirit, so that she would be able to calm down in the future and face everything with a scholar's mentality, so as not to cause trouble Come.So he shouted sharply: "Back it!"

Chu Yu's mother saw that the procrastination could not be dragged on, so father was determined to make things difficult for her this time, so he recited: "Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian is the foundation of human acquired constitution. Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian protects intestines and lungs." The Gallbladder Meridian of Foot Shaoyang has the function of nourishing the stomach and promoting digestion. The Small Intestine Meridian of Hand Taiyang is the key to calming the mind and calming the nerves, activating collaterals and relaxing muscles. I really can't remember it, and I keep repeating it in my mouth, but I can't get out the text.

Master Chu didn't intend to wait any longer, so he interrupted Madam Chu Yu and said, "Okay, you don't have to think about dinner today, as for tomorrow, I'll send someone to deliver your meal, and don't ask for it before you recite it." After leaving this room, I will order my servants to take care of you, so you can rest assured." After speaking, he walked out with his hands behind his back.

Ms. Chu Yu was in a daze for a long time before she regained her composure. What do you mean by delivering the food and not leaving the room? This means being placed under house arrest?Thinking of this, Mrs. Chu Yu hurriedly chased out of the room.I saw that Master Chu was talking to his servant, and looked back at his room from time to time.Seeing Mrs. Chu Yu running out and staring straight at Mrs. Chu Yu, Mrs. Chu Yu was startled and quickly shrank back, closed the door, and sat down at the table angrily, looking at the meridians lying on the table. The picture was even more angry, and he gritted his teeth and grabbed the blueprint, and pulled it, and the blueprint was torn apart from the middle.

Ms. Chu Yu was still angry, and stomped the drawing man on the ground a few times, and then it was over. She took a sip of the tea in the cup, calmed down, and ran to pick up the drawing after a while, and put it away. On the table, carefully wipe off the dirt on the picture and put it together.

Madam Chu Yu thought to herself: Didn't Furong say that my parents love me the most? My father wouldn't just scare me.Thinking about getting up and opening the door, just as the door opened, two servants flashed over from the outside, blocking Madam Chu Yu's way, and said helplessly: "Miss, the master ordered you not to go out, look, don't embarrass yourself Us?" Hearing the servant's words, Chu Yu shut the door angrily and stomped her feet angrily.

I thought unhappily in my heart, hmph, there is a door in this room, so there are no windows, hmph, I will give him a Metersbonwe, not taking the usual way, hmph.Thinking, came to the window, opened the window, just like the door, two servants flashed out, before they could speak, Chu Yu shut the window fiercely, and went back to the table with a thud After drinking a cup of tea, I thought to myself: Well, this is not an ordinary road, the road is blocked, so let’s carry it.

In desperation, Madam Chu Yu lowered her head and began to memorize.

When the dinner was served, Mrs. Chu and Fu Rong also came to the table. Fu Rong, who was punished by Chu Yu's wife, knew about it, but Mrs. Chu didn't know about it. , Mrs. Chu asked strangely: "Master, why didn't you wait for Madam Yu, I think we should wait for Madam Yu to eat together." Furong looked at Master Chu anxiously and did not speak.

Master Chu didn't seem to hear it, he put a mouthful of vegetables into his mouth, chewed slowly and said slowly: "No need, that stinking girl has been a little naughty recently, I asked her to study the meridian map in the room, and she couldn't recite it The Meridian Map won’t let her eat tonight, let’s eat, oh, yes, Furong, from tomorrow onwards, you will send Yumao’s food to her room, so you don’t want to go in and leave it to the servants outside. Okay, got it?"

Fu Rong looked at Master Chu and Madam Chu helplessly, nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, Master."

Knowing that Master Chu was really angry this time, although she felt sorry for her daughter, Mrs. Chu did not dare to insist on Master Chu's intentions, and did not make a sound, but her eyes kept looking at Fu Rong. Looking at Mrs. Chu, their eyes met each other, the two of them had a tacit understanding, without embarrassment, without any movement, they understood each other's meaning just by looking at each other.Because Madam Chu Yu was not there, Fu Rong and Mrs. Chu finished their meal early and left the dining room.Seeing no one around, he turned and ran towards the kitchen.

Furong ran into the kitchen secretly, taking advantage of the chef and maids not paying attention, secretly took three big steamed buns, ran out, rushed out and saw Mrs. Chu standing not far from the kitchen door, hurried over, Chu Seeing Fu Rong coming out of the kitchen, Madam asked quickly, "Have you got anything to eat?"

Fu Rong said shyly, "There will be a lot of people in the kitchen, and the dishes are not easy to handle, so I just took out three big steamed buns."

Madam Chu took the steamed buns and said to Fu Rong, "It's okay, I'll try again."

Madam Chu was just about to leave when Fu Rong stopped her: "Madam, this is not acceptable, you have to go in like this to eat without being discovered by the master."

"Yes, what should we do then?" Mrs. Chu asked doubtfully.

The two couldn't help feeling a headache, taking it so blatantly would easily be suspected by the master, and if it didn't work out, they would punish Chu Yumao again, but there were too many people in the kitchen outside, so there was no good idea other than that.

Suddenly, Fu Rong rolled her eyes and said, "How about this, ma'am, you just say that you want to make some snacks for the master today, and then, when the snacks are ready, give some of the pastries to the master and the other part to the young lady. I'm going to trouble Madam." Fu Rong replied.

"What's the matter, okay, I'll go right away." Madam readily agreed, and hurried into the kitchen.Mrs. Chu is really capable, and she made the dim sum in a short time.

The maids helped Mrs. Chu out of the kitchen. Mrs. Chu was walking with a basket of rice in her hand. When she was approaching Furong, she suddenly turned around and said to the maid next to her, "Xin'er, go to the kitchen and get my bracelet. Take it, people are old and can’t remember things, I took it off when I was making dim sum, and I forgot it there, and I only remembered it here.”

"Yes, ma'am" the servant girl responded and turned around and went back. Seeing that the servant girl was not around, Mrs. Chu quickly took out a stack of snacks wrapped in greased paper from the basket and handed it to Furong, saying, "This is the sweet-scented osmanthus that Yumao likes most." Cake, send it while it’s hot.”

Fu Rong took the snacks, bowed to thank Madam, and hurried to Madam Chu Yu's room.
