Chapter 53: Medicated Bath
Gyeongju is Chuzhou in the north and Lanzhou in the west, Meizhou in the east, and the top of Meizhou is Wuzhou where the capital is located, and the Chu River goes down from Lingbei Village in Chuling, all the way to the east, passing through the south city through Liancheng, crossing Pingzhou, Wuzhou, Meizhou, and going to sea in Tongzhou.

Chujiang River passes through Milin, Qujiang, Binjiang, Jiujiang and other counties in Meizhou, these four counties have the most beautiful scenery of Qujiang, Qujiang County Government is located in Zhenjiang City, as the name suggests, Zhenjiang City is on the edge of Chujiang, standing on the county city wall and overlooking, you can see the sparkling Chujiang River under the sun.
In the east of Zhenjiang City, the people who live are the powerful in the city, and occasionally a few rich families are mixed in, but not much, about a dozen households, most of the mansions here are handed down from the ancestors, and there are few sales, but recently there have been changes.
First of all, the rich Cao family in Hutao sold the house, the Du Daguan and the Fang rich family in the lotus leaf also sold the house, and the Jiang family, the Xu family, and the Huang family in the fragrant tree also sold the house together.
These three families in Xiangshu will sell their houses, in fact, everyone has already counted them, but they have been watching how long they will last, who let them not be long-sighted, and offended the county magistrate of Qujiang County.
It is not surprising that the wealthy Cao family in Hutao is thriving in Beijing, and he wants to take the old man and his children to live with him, and sell the house in the city for money, anyway, his old house is still there, and he is not afraid that he will have no place to live when he comes back to worship his ancestors.
At the end of last year, I heard that Du Daguan wanted to buy the Fang family and the Zhang family next door, so that he could expand it for his children and grandchildren to marry and become a family.
The topic of the person, Du Daguan, has moved his family, and his whereabouts are unknown, so some people say that the Du family offended people and moved away in a hurry to save their lives, as for the Fang family, they haven't sold the house for so long, but they sold the house at this time, which is also incomprehensible!
It didn't take long for everyone's focus to shift to the new owners of these mansions.
I heard that the Cao Mansion is a pair of brothers, the elder brother is handsome, the younger brother is still young, and he has not yet grown up, but he can already see that he will be a beautiful man who will not lose his brother in the future.
The buyers of Du Mansion did not show up, but a few people who seemed to be in charge led the workers in, and some people brought bricks and tiles, presumably because the new owners had opinions on the original layout and wanted to rebuild them, and when the renovations were completed, they probably moved in.
It's not that no one went to talk to those stewards, a few stewards treated people kindly and politely, and easily got carried away with people's applause, and when they left, their brains were not so hot, only to find that they couldn't get something out of each other, but they lifted all their own bottoms.
As for the Jiang family and the Xu family, they were both bought by the neighbors, and the one who bought the Huang family was a young man, who seemed to be frail and sickly, and all the affairs were handled by an old housekeeper.
At the same time, an empty house adjacent to the house of the former Cao Fuhu in Hutaoli in Xiangshu quietly moved in.
This house is not small, but it is not too big, but it is still a little difficult for Li Qianqian to take care of the people they brought, after all, those maids and servants are waiting for her and Lan Tang, as long as the sect leader has one person, it is enough, Lan Hai is almost buried in the pile of books, what is there to do for someone to do, and I want to mention it.
It's good to have maids and servants to help with things, and after handing over all the luggage to them to take care of, Li Qianqian and Lan Tang will take Fuxing on an adventure!
After spending an afternoon, the last two hungry little girls dragged their feet, followed by the still energetic Fuxing, and paced into the main courtyard.
Jin Yi is listing with the sect leader what manpower is still lacking in the house, "the doorman, the errand boy, the coachman, the cook, and the rough mother-in-law." "If you do the math, there are at least a dozen people missing.
The sect leader touched his chin, "Explain the matter to Liu Er and let him do it." ”
Poor Liu Er, the sect leader treats him as an omnipotent person! What is missing, looking for Liu Er, lacking people, looking for Liu Er, lacking a house, also looking for Liu Er.
Yes, this house is what Liu Er is looking for, which not only meets the requirements of convenient transportation in the blue ocean, but also meets the requirements of the sect leader to hide in the city, the only bad thing is that it is too big, but it is just right, not like the small mansion in Nancheng, practicing martial arts in the yard, it is seen by the neighbors on both sides.
The house is too big, and there are many people waiting, and there are many people with mixed eyes! No wonder the sect leader is unhappy.
Li Shu turned his head, looked at Li Qianqian at the door, and looked over with a sigh of relief. "Little master, you're here!"
"Crazy, okay?" the sect leader saw that the two of them were flushed, and knew that they had been basking in the sun all afternoon. "Didn't you tell you to rest for lunch and then go out into the wilderness? Why are you so red?"
The sect leader glanced at the two of them in disgust, turned his head and glanced at Jinyi, and after a while, he hurriedly asked, "Sister Tang, do you have any sunburn medicine there?"
"Yes. Disgusted by the sect leader, Lan Tang found that the skin on his face was a little tight, and he felt prickly.
Looking at Li Qianqian again, I couldn't help but be envious, "Qianqian, your face hasn't changed." ”
In fact, Li Qianqian's face was also red, but it was not as red as Lan Tang's.
Li Qian smiled, "Because I'm not like you, I'm always under the sun! I hide in the shade, and I drink water." She pulled down the small purple bamboo tube tied around her waist.
"Huh?" Lan Tang said in annoyance, "I forgot." ”
The small purple bamboo tube is filled with the latest summer soup researched by Lan Hai, among the servants around Li Qianqian, there is a cooking skill that is not very good, but she is very good at making soup, after Lan Hai found out, she asked her to make soup for Li Qianqian and Lan Tang, and even the newly researched summer soup was handed over to her to cook.
I don't have to cook medicine and soup in the kitchen by myself, it's so happy for Blue Ocean!
Especially when the weather is getting hotter and hotter, he still likes to stay in the cool breeze of the house to watch and study medical science, and when someone helps him with chores, he can rest assured that he can get into the medical book, and in just a few days, he has made a big breakthrough and cracked the medicine powder used by the great elder to let the tracking bees track people.
Thinking that the Great Elder knew and had a shameful face, Lan Hai couldn't help but be happy.
He not only cracked the tracking powder, but also improved it, and now the tracking powder no longer needs to use specially cultivated bees, ordinary wild bees can be used to track, so that a lot of effort can be saved to breed bees specially used for tracking.
This kind of bee breeding is not easy, but also very delicate, the weather changes slightly, they can not bear it, hang, to use wild bees to track people, just feed them to eat honey water mixed with medicinal powder, wild bees can be much stronger than special bees.
As soon as he studied it, he handed it over to Liu Er to test, and the spies sent by the Great Elder to track their whereabouts were not to mention the embarrassed people, but they were also counter-tracked, but they also thought that it was because the movement with the embarrassed people was too big that they would attract their attention, and then they were counter-tracked.
However, Lao Tzu is such a genius, why is his daughter so ...... It's hard to say anything!
"You go back to your room and wash up, and then have dinner brought to your room. The sect leader felt that Lan Tang's face was too hurtful, so he simply let them eat in the room, "Let's take a day off from homework in the evening! ”
"Yes. Li Qianqian promised, Lan Tang cheered quietly, took Li Qianqian's hand, and hurried back to the room, his stomach was almost hungry.
The next morning, Liu Er sent people over, when he opened the door, he was dumbfounded on the spot when he saw the people brought by Liu Er, Liu Er smiled and said, "I have already prepared people, but I know that the sect leader has always hated people, so I didn't dare to send them over, as soon as you said it yesterday, I will let them get ready, and send people over early in the morning!"
In that case, why didn't you send it over yesterday?
As if he knew that Jin Yi was slandering, Liu Er explained with a smile: "If you say it yesterday, I will send people over, then I am afraid that I will be tired in the future!"
"Do you think that if you send someone over early in the morning, it means that you have a strong work ability, and it will be easy in the future?"
Liu Er was stunned, yes, he seems to be supposed to send someone over in the afternoon, no, no, it should be delayed for a few days and then sent over, ah~
"Will it be too late for me to bring people back now?"
"What do you say?" he leaned slightly to let him see the sect leader sitting in the door.
Hehe, Liu Er lowered his head, hateful Jinyi. "You did it on purpose. ”
"yes!"
Since everyone has sent it over, how can it be possible to let Liu Er bring it back, he doesn't want to be a porter and a servant again, the Ye family next to the little master is very good at making soup, yes, but the food she cooks has a bit of medicinal taste, and I don't know how she got it, in addition, the Fang family can't cook rice and soup, but she is very good at making clothes, one of the two servants around Lan Tang is a little literate and ink, and the other can embroider and make rouge and fragrance, which is considered to be a person with some expertise.
As for the maids, they all look similar at a glance, the big maids are just older, which does not mean that they are better, and the little maids suffer from their young age, but in contrast, they are also more able to cultivate a better tacit understanding with the master.
It's just that this kind of person who waits closely, even if he dares to hand it over to Liu Er to find it, Liu Er doesn't dare to take care of it, but like the porter and the cook, he is more sure.
However, the cook is related to the food in the entrance, and he can't be sloppy, so from the time he left Nancheng, he began to search, when they were still in the fourth elder's house, he received the news that he had found someone, he immediately rushed over to see, and after tasting his cooking skills, he was sure that he was willing to come to Zhenjiang City, so he booked the person.
After bringing people in and meeting the sect leader, they were taken by Jinyi to settle down, and each person performed his own duties, and the mansion soon entered the orbit.
Liu Er was busy with other things, and before leaving, he didn't forget to go to the blue ocean to search for a large number of newly made tracking medicine powder, and he didn't know who he wanted to track.
As for Li Qianqian, after exploring in the courtyard, she practiced honestly, and within a few days, Lan Hai ordered someone to prepare a large wooden barrel and medicinal herbs, and prepared to give her a medicinal bath.
