Chapter Eighty-Five: Changed
Cai's mother took the letter written by the eldest lady, went out of the house directly, went straight to the palace, and returned to the Yuanning Hou Mansion after about two hours, and went to Juping Courtyard to report to the eldest lady: "The slave maid took the lady's post and asked the people in the palace to present it to the concubine Niangniang, and it happened that the concubine Niangniang accompanied the emperor to visit Wanhong Garden, and the slave did not dare to disturb, so she waited below." Listening to the people in the palace, today's Wanhong Garden is full of lights, and the people inside are busy, all of them are preparing for the birthday banquet of the concubine, and those people also quietly said that even in the past, when the queen was there, there was not necessarily such an exaggerated pomp, and it seemed that the emperor really loved our concubine Niangniang. ”
The eldest lady's eyes narrowed with a smile: "Of course, who is the concubine, that is my niece, who has grown up since she was a child, she looks smart and looks beautiful, and at first glance it is the life of Dafu Dagui." But that was the ...... back then."
The eldest lady's brows only frowned slightly for a few seconds, and then she quickly relaxed: "Look at me who is so happy, she is so cranky, she thinks about it, what do you want to do! As long as she is good and has been favored by the emperor, this is a great blessing for us." ”
At first, Cai's mother felt that it seemed a little inappropriate for the concubine Niangniang to make such a huge pomp for a birthday banquet, but now that she heard the eldest lady's tone, she still seemed to be very happy, and the worry in her heart was put down. Think about it, when you are favored, you don't show off, and when you lose your favor, I'm afraid that you don't have the ability to make some pomp and circumstance. Cai's mother suddenly felt awake, why did she think about some bad things, and secretly cursed herself in her heart.
She looked up at the eldest lady, and then said, "The slave has been waiting for about an hour. The concubine came back, and the emperor personally sent her back to the palace. For the sake of the concubine. The emperor didn't even go to court early, big lady, look. Our concubine is really blessed. ”
The eldest lady nodded with a smile, and suddenly thought of herself, she was alone with a large family, hard work and hard work, and she didn't necessarily care more about herself, but followed his guests all day long, and she felt aggrieved when she thought about it.
Mother Cai didn't notice the eldest lady's expression, and continued: "When the concubine comes back, she will take a bath. The slave waited another quarter of an hour, and then the maid came out, and the slave and maid showed her the letter from the eldest lady. The concubine laughed after seeing it, and said that this harem is her territory, so that the eldest lady can rest assured, but she is just a lost orphan girl, and she can be dealt with her fingers, so that the eldest lady can just wait for her good news. ”
The eldest lady was still not at ease, and asked again: "Is there really no problem?"
Cai's mother said: "The concubine said it. She has two sets of methods, one is not good, and the other is the other, anyway, she will end the knot in the eldest lady's heart. Eliminate future troubles forever. ”
The eldest lady really put her mind at ease, and felt that the extra five hundred taels of silver prescription money was also worth it, as the so-called "reluctant children can't trap wolves".
The eldest lady was very satisfied with Cai's mother's performance. looked at Cai's mother's gaze and softened a little: "You have worked hard, let's go down and rest." ”
Cai's mother answered. Withdrew. Thinking that the prescription had not yet been caught, he went to the account room again and showed the note of the eldest lady. I took the money and went to get the medicine.
She went to Renhetang, and the prescriptions for going up and down the Yuanning Hou Mansion were all medicines taken here. Seeing Cai's mother coming, the guys in the store immediately greeted him, and quickly grasped the medicine according to the prescription, and the amount was very sufficient, two heavy stacks.
Walking out, Cai's mother thought about it in the sunshine, pulled out two or three packs of two or three packs of two stacks, and looked at the reduction of about one-third of the amount, Cai's mother smiled imperceptibly, and then tied the two stacks of medicine tightly, carried it back to the house, and asked the girl to send it to Liuyun Courtyard.
In Liu Yun Courtyard, Gu Zhirong looked at the two stacks of medicine bags and was fascinated. Lu Shui didn't know why, so he asked out loud: "Miss, what's so beautiful about this pack of medicine, is there anything wrong?"
Gu Zhirong came back to his senses at this time, and said with a smile: "There's nothing wrong, I'm just thinking, how valuable this medicine is when so much silver is smashed." ”
"The more expensive, the better. "Lu Shui is a straight person, he will say whatever he thinks, "Anyway, it's not to take money from us, the more silver is out of the public, the less chance the eldest lady wants to rub oil and water, if you want me to say, 10,000 taels of silver is a prescription." ”
Gu Zhirong smiled and said: "If this is a prescription of 10,000 taels of silver, I am reluctant to use it, how good it would be to take it and save it in the silver village." ”
Lu Shui smiled and said, "Miss, I think you are a little money fan!"
Cai Qing also chimed in: "Lu Shui is very right, and the slave and maid also think so. You don't know, when I was at the wharf, our young lady actually reached out to the master of Baojian Hall to ask for silver in person, and she also lost her generosity, and without saying a word, she paid off the silver on the spot. Tsk, look at the slave maid, that Baojian Hall master is quite good, a righteous gentleman!"
Lu Shui's eyes widened: "Is it really fake? The slave maid can hear it, that Baojian Hall master has a big name, and his business is also quite big, and his temper is a little elusive, even the government wants to give him three points of thin noodles......"
Gu Zhirong smiled and said, "Okay, don't talk about that Baojian Hall master, we are just doing business with others, and the money and goods are clear, so it has nothing to do with it." Oh, green water, you go and divide the medicine bag into a point, separate the external use from the internal one, put the external one aside, and the internal one does not need to be fried, take out the grinding tool, grind it into powder, and still wrap it in the original kraft paper. ”
Cai Qinglu Shui was confused, looked at each other, and wondered, "Miss, why is this?"
It is extremely unreasonable to prescribe the medicine prescribed without decoction, nor apply it to the injured area, not to mention grinding the decoction of medicinal materials into powder. Since ancient times, has there been any medicine that will be used for decoction but not used in a pot to decoction, but to be ground into powder?
Gu Zhirong said with a smile: "I still don't know about my disease, do I have to borrow the hands of outsiders to cure it?" Besides, I have already told Dr. Wu that this medicine was not for me in the first place. ”
"Who is it for?" asked Cai Qingshui in unison.
"To the soldiers at the border. Gu Zhirong said, "The soldiers at the border pass are dedicated to the country, and they are stationed in the wilderness and desert for the people of the world, where there is not only a shortage of food and grass, but even the vegetables we often eat on weekdays are not common. Anyway, Dr. Wu is also going to prescribe medicine to treat sores, so I asked him to change the medicine to the current one, just to send it to the soldiers at the border gate. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Zhirong was very happy.
Cai Qing looked at each other, they were all thinking, what did their young lady learn from the old monk of Mingkong in Xuanji Temple for three years, how did she learn some tricky things......?
