Chapter 9
The Seven Green Soup was still hot and emitted bursts of fragrance, but in this rich aroma, Yuan Ziyu smelled a somewhat familiar smell!
Yuan Ziyu had smelled this smell once in his previous life!
In her previous life, in the kitchen of the Huainan Marquis Mansion, there was a cook who had superb cooking skills and was well versed in pharmacology. Seeing that she was really pitiful, she often took care of her.
In my spare time, I would also teach her some food and medicinal recipes.
Sometimes, he would talk to her about some of the secrets of the harem, and what impressed her most was Qingyi San.
This name may not sound like anything at first glance, but it is actually an extremely poisonous powder.
The finished product of Qingyi Powder is colorless and tasteless. If it is put in food, it will not be noticed at all. It can be said that it is hard to prevent.
If taken in the short term, it will not have any effect on people, and may even make people's complexion better. However, if Qingyi San is taken for a long time, both men and women will lose their ability to reproduce.
Although Qingyi Powder is colorless and odorless, one of the herbs in it has a very unique smell, an extremely spicy smell. At that time, the cook took out a piece of the herb and asked her to smell it. The unique smell made her remember the herb - Sophora japonica.
But what puzzled Yuan Ziyu was how she could smell the scent of Sophora japonica in the Seven Green Soup?
"Second Miss?" Qingzhi saw Yuan Ziyu staring at the Seven Green Soup in a daze and hurriedly called out softly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
After hearing Qingzhi's words, Yuan Ziyu came back to his senses and pretended to feel a little uncomfortable. He said, "Well, I do feel a little uncomfortable. Let's put the Seven Green Soup aside for now. I don't really feel like eating it right now!"
"Okay!" Qingzhi didn't doubt him and put the glass bowl back into the food box.
Yuan Ziyou said softly: "Why do I feel that the Seven Green Soup doesn't smell good today?"
"That's because you're still sick. This Seven Green Soup is no different from usual!" Qingzhi said with a smile. He hurried forward and touched Yuan Ziyu's forehead, asking, "Second Miss, where do you feel uncomfortable? Could it be that you were caught in the wind in the yard yesterday? I'll report to the Madam and ask the doctor to come in and take your pulse!"
Yuan Ziyu was completely fine, so why would she let Qingzhi go and call a doctor? She quickly said, "It's okay. I woke up early today. I'll be fine after a while!"
Qingzhi was still a little worried!
"It's really okay!" Yuan Ziyu sighed. The two girls were really too worried about him. He looked at the screen and said casually, "Why aren't Qingying's pearl dumplings ready yet?"
Qingzhi chuckled and said, "Second Miss, you're actually thinking about the pearl dumplings. Are you worried that after eating the Seven Green Soup, you won't be able to eat the pearl dumplings?"
"Oh!" Yuan Ziyou blinked: "You figured that out!"
"What did you see?" At this time, Qingying came in holding a red pine wood cloud pattern tray. On the tray was a green-glazed and pastel-colored porcelain bowl with broken branches, flowers and insects, and a few side dishes. The bowl was filled with pearl dumplings.
"Sister Qingying, you're back!" Qingzhi hurriedly helped Yuan Ziyu sit down and said with a smile, "Second Miss has been missing your pearl dumplings so much that she's lost her appetite for tea or food. Even the Seven Green Soup doesn't taste good anymore!"
"Oh, Qingzhi, just keep talking nonsense!" Yuan Ziyu's face turned slightly red, and he pretended to pat Qingzhi lightly!
Qingzhi smiled and begged for mercy: "Second Miss, I was wrong!"
Qingying glanced at Qingzhi with a smile and placed the dishes and bowls on the tray in front of Yuan Ziyu: "Second Miss, you can only eat these pearl dumplings, no more!"
"Okay!" Yuan Ziyu responded with a smile!
After a while, Qingying and Qingzhi helped Yuan Ziyu finish his breakfast. Qingying then brought some hawthorn water and asked Yuan Ziyu to drink a few sips before stopping.
After sending Qingzhi and Qingying away, Yuan Ziyu thought of the Qi Cui Soup again!
She was very sure that she was not mistaken. The Seven Green Soup did indeed have the scent of Sophora japonica.
But that's not right. If there was Qingyi Powder in the Seven Green Soup, how could she smell it? Qingzhi said that the Seven Green Soup was no different from usual.
The next moment, Yuan Ziyu suddenly sat up!
If there is Qingyi Powder in the Seven Green Soup, then where did it come from? And who put it in?
Is it directed at her alone, or the entire Yuan Mansion?
Who did this?
If this Qingyi Powder came out from the big kitchen, wouldn't everyone in the Yuan Mansion be affected?
If this is true, the entire Yuan family will be extinct!
Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Yuan Ziyu's back!
In her previous life, she had never seen a newborn baby born in the Yuan Mansion. Even when her second uncle later took in several concubines and her eldest brother had been married for more than two years, there was no news of any pregnancy!
She remembered that in her previous life, her mother was anxious to have a grandson and even talked about it to Aunt Gui!
But if it was because of this Qingyi Powder... Yuan Ziyou shuddered with fear. This was too vicious!
Who is so cruel?
Does all this have anything to do with the Marquis of Huainan?
Yuan Ziyu was so confused that he couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it, so he had to give up thinking!
She was still a patient, so she couldn't go to the kitchen to investigate. Besides, she was only twelve years old. If she rashly mastered pharmacology, wouldn't she scare her mother? Even Second Aunt would probably take the opportunity to trip her up.
After thinking carefully for a while, Yuan Ziyu had an idea in his mind, so he lay back down, tossed and turned for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep!
Liu was worried that Yuan Ziyu's condition would relapse, so she forced her to lie down for ten days. Only in the afternoon when the sun was at its brightest could she walk around in the yard and bask in the sun!
Yuan Ziyu felt like he was really going to be laid up!
Finally, after Dr. Qian came for a follow-up visit and said that Yuan Ziyu had recovered, she ended her recuperation period!
Yuan Zitong never came again after the first time, and Yuan Ziyu was happy to have some free time.
However, thinking about meeting Yuan Zitong when paying respects to her grandmother tomorrow, Yuan Ziyu became eager to fight. If Yuan Zitong dared to provoke her, she would expose Yuan Zitong's hypocritical mask!
Humph, as for the account of falling into the water, we will slowly settle it!
"Second Miss, how about wearing this pink jacket and skirt tomorrow?" Yuan Ziyu recovered from her illness. Qingying and Qingzhi were extremely happy. They chattered and chose clothes for Yuan Ziyu to wear when she paid her respects the next day.
"good!"
"Then go with this cherry pink crystal headpiece!"
"good!"
"And this crystal necklace!"
"good!"
"And this nine-treasure bead bracelet!"
"good!"
…
Yuan Ziyu sat on the embroidered cushion in front of the dressing table with a smile on her face, letting Qingying and Qingzhi show her how to match clothes.
For a moment, the room was filled with laughter.
"Second Miss, Nanny Nan is here!" the little girl Lu'er said loudly at the door.
"Oh, it's so lively here!" A somewhat sharp voice sounded outside the house!
Yuan Ziyu and his two servants turned around and saw a woman in her forties wearing a double-breasted dark blue gown with round flowers on it walked in.
Qingying and Qingzhi hurriedly bowed to Nan Ma: "Hello, Nan Ma!"
