Chapter 184 Awe
Before she finished speaking, Madam Shao Fu seemed to have noticed her own misconduct and hurried to make amends, with two red clouds on her face. "Ah, look at me, I forget my limits when I'm happy. It's been a long time since I've been this happy."
In fact, this irrepressible excitement is not without reason.
Since taking the medicine carefully prepared by Su Yu, in just over twenty days, her originally pale face has regained its radiance, and those nagging illnesses have miraculously disappeared without a trace.
All this is thanks to Su Yu.
I thought I would have to wait for a few days, and I was secretly wondering whether Su Yu would be so busy with work that he would forget the appointment. I never thought that we would meet again inadvertently. The excitement and gratitude in my heart are beyond words.
Seeing this, Su Yu smiled lightly, a little embarrassed but still humorous, "Hey, I just happened to come to Ning County to deal with some things, and thinking of my appointment with you, I came directly to see how your recovery is going."
"It's the Dragon Boat Festival, and I'm sorry for visiting you so suddenly. I hope you can forgive me."
Madam Shaofu didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, she replied happily, "It's not abrupt at all. I've been looking forward to your coming every day!"
The old lady stood by, smiling, and gently said, "Qingshu, don't let Doctor Su stand outside. Please come in, sit down, drink some hot tea, and have some snacks."
"Yes, mother is right. Doctor Su, please come in and let's have a good chat."
Madam Shao Fu quickly agreed, her eyes sparkling with anticipation and welcome.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, with the fragrance of mugwort in the air and drizzling rain, Su Yu followed the Master's wife and walked lightly into the elegant wing room deep in the mansion.
As soon as I sat down on the carved pear wood chair, a delicate scent of sandalwood blew across my face in the wind, making me feel refreshed.
Madam Shaofu opened her red lips slightly, her voice as gentle as spring water, and ordered the maid beside her: "Go, prepare some tea and exquisite snacks for the young lady."
There was unquestionable authority and hospitality towards guests in his tone.
Soon, plates of temptingly colorful and fragrant snacks were placed on the mahogany round table. The most eye-catching among them were the emerald green rice dumplings wrapped with golden threads.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, rice dumplings are not only a symbol of custom, but also a feast for the taste buds. The rice dumplings wrapped with osmanthus honey and candied dates are particularly eye-catching.
Su Yu, a woman who has always had a unique appreciation for food, could not help but smile slightly in the face of this temptation. She gently untied the knot of a candied date rice dumpling. The unique fragrance instantly filled the air, like a breeze in autumn, carrying the faint sweet fragrance of osmanthus.
She tasted it carefully, the soft glutinous rice and the sweet candied dates intertwined in her mouth, and the freshness of the osmanthus just balanced the sweetness, which made her exclaim in admiration: "This zongzi is really wonderful, sweet but not greasy. The unique fragrance makes me feel as if I am in an osmanthus forest. It is really an unprecedented experience."
Although Su Yu is good at cooking and can easily make rice dumplings of various flavors, this method of cleverly combining osmanthus and candied dates is something she has never encountered before, and it has brought her a completely new taste impact.
She savored it carefully, and every bite seemed to be tasting an exquisite story. She couldn't help but admire the craftsmanship of the person who made the rice dumpling.
Master Lin, who was usually very serious, could not hide his pride at this moment. His eyes were full of satisfaction: "This is all the work of Madam, so it is naturally extraordinary."
Su Yu glanced sideways and saw his expression and couldn't help laughing. He thought that if he had made this zongzi, he would probably praise it to the sky.
In such a big family, it is truly commendable that Mrs. Shao Fu can not only take care of the housework but also has such superb cooking skills.
You know, most wealthy ladies often live in seclusion, and very few of them take care of household chores, let alone make such delicious food by themselves. This is even rarer than finding a night-shining pearl.
When Madam Shao Fu heard Su Yu's sincere praise, her heart felt as if it were touched by a spring breeze, and it was filled with warmth.
Although she was used to hearing flattery, Su Yu's praise was subtle, sincere and directly touched her heart, which was particularly different.
"Since Miss Su likes it so much, you might as well take some with you when you leave, so that your family can share the joy of the festival."
Madam Shaofu's words were full of kindness and generosity.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu hurriedly thanked him: "Then I'd rather obey than be respectful. If my family tastes this delicious food, they will definitely be very surprised."
She thought about the scene of the family, young and old, sitting together and sharing this delicious meal, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
After the meal, as the aroma of tea wafted in the air, Su Yu changed the topic and slowly took out several small and exquisite porcelain bottles from his sleeve and handed them to Mrs. Fu one by one.
"Knowing that today's visit coincides with a festive occasion, I specially prepared some pills made from refined medicinal herbs. The old lady is old, so it's always good to have some on hand."
Her voice was as gentle as jade, and every time she introduced a pill, her eyes sparkled with her love for medicine and concern for health.
The carefully formulated Heart Protecting Pills can effectively relieve occasional asthma and cough in the elderly, and strengthen the heart and body; the Anti-aging Pills are a beauty product that can make skin as white as snow and without traces of time; the Bone Strengthening Granules can replenish lost bone mass, making the elderly walk steadily and as light as a swallow; as for the Detoxification Pills, although they cannot resist strong poisons, they are an excellent preventive measure for the miasma that is common during the change of seasons.
Madam Shao Fu stroked the porcelain vase, the delicate patterns flowing between her palms. Her heart was filled with gratitude for Su Yu's attentiveness and thoughtfulness. Her eyes were slightly moist, and she was speechless for a moment.
This is not just a gift, but also a deep respect and care for life.
Even the handwriting on the bottle, which was not neat but carried a hint of warmth and humanity, seemed particularly intimate under the flickering candlelight, like the handwriting of an old friend reunited after a long separation, which made people feel a warm current involuntarily surge in their hearts.
In her life, gold, silver and jewelry were priceless, fine clothes and delicious food were commonplace, and her power and status were unattainable for others. But when the years left their marks on her face and she was in her twilight years, how could she not be afraid and secretly worried about the journey to the underworld that was bound to come?
Su Yu, the young female doctor, not only saved her life from the brink of death with her superb medical skills, but now she also personally delivered these precious and hard-to-find medicines. Every concerned look and careful instructions were like the warm sunshine in spring, melting the ice in her heart bit by bit. Her friendship with Su Yu could no longer be summed up by simple gratitude, but a sincere love and admiration from the heart.
"Okay, okay, thank you Doctor Su for still caring about my old bones that have gone through so much."
Her words were filled with sincere emotion, and the subtle wrinkles at the corners of her eyes seemed to be softened by this warmth.
Su Yu gently peeled off a layer of delicate silk, revealing her homemade beauty powder and beauty cream.
