12. Identity

What is the situation of the Jiang family, Shen Shu has already inquired clearly. Knowing that although Jiang Xi has two daughters, the second daughter was brought by the stepfamily, and the door is not out of the second door on weekdays, so what he sees today must be the eldest daughter Jiang Taohua. It's just that I haven't heard of any medical skills in this Jiang Taohua, but I don't want to see her to distinguish between the two symptoms.

"But the Jiang girl?"

Su Laolang was slightly stunned, and then snorted: "Childe, don't be joking." The Jiang family is no longer able to prescribe medical prescriptions. This is the will of the first emperor, does the Jiang family dare to resist the will? If it spreads, it will be the sin of killing the head, and please be cautious. "

Shen Shu thought about it for a while, and remembered that although Taohua identified the symptoms today, he had never prescribed a prescription, and it was all pushed to other Langzhong. Especially the first one was cold and hot, she didn't even make an assertion, only said that let Lang Zhong diagnose the pulse again. Although everyone could hear what she meant, it did not mean that she was practicing medicine.

Sure enough, cautiously. Shen Shu said secretly, took the recipe and maintenance matters, and handed it to the cicada clothes: "Put it away carefully, be sure to do what is written above." "It's a matter of life and death, but you can't be sloppy," since that's the case, I'll take my leave. "

Su Lao Langzhong personally sent people out of the door and sighed. The medicine boy who was holding him was young and talkative, and couldn't help but say, "Although they are rich and noble, the master doesn't need to send them to the door, right?" Your legs aren't very good, either. "After all, it is almost a rare year, and although Su Laolang pays attention to health preservation, his strength will eventually decline.

"It's not strange to have many people." Su Laolang sighed, "What's more, these people are not only rich. "That Shen Gongzi has calluses on his palms, and he is by no means as delicate and tender as those Gongzi brothers who grew up in the hands of women. Although the mutton fat jade wrench he was wearing on his hand was not worn, and it looked as if he was just pretending, Su Lao Langzhong could see from the cocoon on his hand that he was afraid that this one had real kung fu.

And the skin on his face was rougher, including the two delicate-looking maids. Although the clothes are exquisite, and the fat powder used on the face is not cheap, but the skin is still not moisturized, it can only be said that the place where these people live is very windy and sandy, and the climate is dry.

With these several things, Su Lao Langzhong can already conclude that eight to nine out of ten of these people are from the northwest. The so-called service in the army probably refers to the Northwest Army.

The little medicine boy has a lively temperament, and he has seen little in the world, so he didn't know what Su Laolang was thinking in the center, and asked again: "The piece of paper you just took out was written by Miss Jiang, right?" That's not medicine, so why didn't you say it? In his mind, since this group of people has a noble status, if they are cured, they will have a good fate. My own master has never been greedy for other people's merits, why didn't he mention Miss Jiang today?

"How can the name of her girl's family be mentioned outside?" Su Lao Langzhong knocked on the door of the little medicine boy's head, "The daughter's house that has not left the pavilion, is it a good thing that the reputation is outside?" Don't talk nonsense, or you'll break your legs. "

The little medicine boy stuck out his tongue, but he was not afraid: "The little one knows." I only asked in front of the master, and I won't chew my tongue outside. "As a langzhong, you often go in and out of the house, if you can't keep your mouth shut, who else will invite you?

Su Lao Langzhong only sighed. The things he was thinking about were naturally far more than what he said to the little medicine boy.

The northwest border pass, which has been guarded for many years, is the Dingbei Hou Yin family. From the northwest, the clothes are luxurious, the maids use high-quality rouge powder, servants or soldiers in the army, then this young man is only afraid that he will not be able to get rid of the Marquis of Dingbei, and Shen may just be a pseudonym. And the virtuous concubine who served in the harem of the second room of the Jiang family back then was the daughter of the Hou family in Dingbei!

Su Lao Langzhong knew that there were a lot of cats in the harem, but Jiang Fanghui's conviction was set by the first emperor, and the Dingbei Hou Mansion did not regard the Jiang family as an enemy, and he definitely did not have any good feelings. If this Shen Gongzi is really from the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and suddenly came to Wuxi and went to the Jiang Family Medicine Hall, this may not be a good thing.

When Su Laolang was secretly worried here, Shen Shu and his party had already returned to the inn. Dieyi was busy asking for soup and water, but Shen Shu was not in a hurry to let them wait, but said: "Pack up your things, we will return to Beijing tomorrow." Fifteen of this disease, I have to go to Beijing to find a doctor. "

Fifteen hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Didn't that Su Lao Langzhong say that as long as his subordinates take good care of this disease, it is not a big deal. If you alarm the imperial doctor for your subordinates, I am afraid that it will attract gossip...... Besides, there is no hurry, if the son has something to do - it doesn't matter if the subordinates are not done. "

Shen Shu shook his head and said, "There is nothing that must be done." The medicinal wine has never seen any effect, and all the Jinchuang medicines are just like this--it's just that, and there is a lot of delay, so it's better to go back to Beijing. "

As soon as Dieyi heard that she was going back to Beijing, she had already gone to pack her clothes, and said with a smile: "Childe is right." I didn't go back to Beijing this time to see the Jiang family! Speaking of which, the Cui family should have arrived in the capital at this time, right? He blinked.

"You girl...... Shen Shu smiled and waved his hand, "Go out, let me be quiet for a while." "

Dieyi stuck out her tongue, pulled Cicada Yi out, and returned to her room before she smiled and said, "Childe is shy." "

Cicada Yi was a little absent-minded: "It's nonsense again." "

"Why am I talking nonsense?" Dieyi was not convinced, "Isn't this time to go back to Beijing just to get married to your son?" The old lady and the eldest lady have said this several times in the house. Every time the son listened to a few words and left, the eldest lady always said that the son was shy. "

She laughed out loud as she spoke: "I heard that the daughters of the Cui family are all talented and beautiful, but I don't know what this Miss Cui looks like." "

"You're worried too much." Cicada Yi became a little impatient, "Where is the turn of our hands to care about this much." "

"How can it not be done?" Dieyi shouted, "Wait for Miss Cui to marry—"

Cicada Yi turned her head and interrupted her: "Since Childe said that he will return to Beijing tomorrow, why don't you come and help me pack these things up." "

Dieyi had to put down the clothes at hand to help her, and couldn't help but complain: "My hands have never been idle...... Hey, you said, this time the son is going to get married, will the saint give him a title? "

"This-" This is a big deal, Cicada Yi couldn't help but stop what she was doing, and groaned, "It stands to reason that it should be, but the Queen Mother may not agree to ......"

At the mention of the Queen Mother, Dieyi's face suddenly changed, and she sipped in a low voice. Cicada Yi sighed when she saw her like this: "You are more restrained!" When you return to the capital, if you do this again, you will bring trouble to your son. "

"Got it......" Although Dieyi was reluctant in her heart, she could only bow her head, "If there is no title, this family affair will not be beautiful, I am afraid that the Cui family will ......"

Cicada Yi said disdainfully: "Are you afraid that the Cui family will dislike it?" Even if there is no title, our son is also a phoenix grandson. This family matter was decided by the first emperor, even if the Cui family has some forces, they dare not resist the decree! "

"Yes." Dieyi was relieved, "I heard from the eldest lady that Miss Cui is known as a virtuous person in Fuzhou, and she will not be unreasonable." However, I'm just afraid that she has big rules and is not easy to serve. "

Hearing her mention Miss Cui again, Cicada Yi's face turned gloomy again: "We are the maids of the son, so naturally we are serving the son." What can Miss Cui do if she has rules? "

"But she married and was the mistress. Husband and wife are one, let's say that we are serving the son, and naturally we have to serve the housewife, if the rules are too big......"

"Okay, you have time to talk, and you don't know how much to pack up!" Cicada interrupted her impatiently, "According to me, you should talk less from now on, so as not to get into trouble if you are not careful." "

Dieyi pouted and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't say anything wrong...... Seeing Cicada Yi's calm face, she still bowed her head in response, "Yes, I'm just pretending to be dumb." "

Cicada Yi was amused by her: "You pretend to be dumb? If you can pretend to be dumb, then all the pigs will be able to climb the tree. "

"Sister!" Dieyi didn't cling up, and he had to itch the cicada clothes when he leaned over. The two quarreled for a while, and Cicada Yi easily pushed her away, and sighed: "Just like you, you really shouldn't have let Gongzi take you out." "

Dieyi brushed her somewhat messy hair and said with a grin: "I have also served my son since I was a child, and I didn't serve him well, why didn't you take me?" Besides, I haven't dragged my son back along the way, but I'm sick at fifteen. "

Speaking of Fifteen's illness, Cicada Yi couldn't help frowning: "Listening to what Su Lao Langzhong said is very stakes, is it possible that he is really worried about his life?" "

"I don't believe it!" Dieyi pursed her lips, "That Su Lao Lang is not vague yet." He couldn't say whether the prescribed medicine would be effective or what it would be. I see, eighty percent of them are fooling us with that girl in Jiang's medicine hall! At the age of fifteen, how can he get any serious illness of a dead man, at most he has some bruises on his legs. Otherwise, why is it prescribed to clear away heat and invigorate blood? "

Su Lao Langzhong really didn't have any confidence in the treatment of Fifteen's illness, and when he answered, he could only explain Fifteen's situation as strictly as possible, but he was afraid that Fifteen didn't care, and it would be a big mistake if he couldn't get the blood clot to fall off. However, these words sounded like coaxing people in Dieyi's ears, although the medicine was caught, she really didn't believe Su Laolangzhong's words.

Cicada Yi actually feels the same way, but after all, we should be cautious: "This kind of thing would rather be believed than not believed." Didn't Childe say that he would ask the imperial doctor to take a look after returning to Beijing. There are countless good doctors in Tai Hospital, and they can always diagnose the reason. "

Shen Shu and his party left Wuxi, and no one paid attention except for the inn guys. Su Laolang was worried for a few days, and when he saw that no one came to the door, he guessed that they had already left, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, so he didn't mention it, and he never talked about it to Taohua again.

Taohua naturally won't pay attention. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Xi has been out for nearly two months, and he sent back two letters to report his safety on the way, which were written in great detail. Taohua smiled when she read the letter, and it could be seen from the letter that Jiang Xi was not only bitter outside, but rather a little happy.

"My father said that there were a lot of things shipped from abroad at the Guangdong wharf, and he picked some and sent them back together." Taohua handed the letter to Cao, turned her head and motioned for Mint to put the box brought back with the letter on the table.

Cao Shi only knew a few words, and Jiang Xi's handwriting was a little sloppy, so she couldn't make out it, and after a few glances, she tucked the letter into her sleeve to see what was in the box.

"This, this is—" There were some miscellaneous things in the box, and Cao Shi didn't recognize a few things at a glance.

"It's a perfume." Taohua took out four small bottles, "It is said that a drop on the wrist can smell for a few hours." "

"This bottle is exquisite! Is it crystal? Cao took one in his hand and looked at it over and over again.

"The West will make glass, it should be a glass bottle." Taohua is accustomed to these things, and took three more things casually, "This is the glass mirror of the West." The big one is my wife's, and the younger one is one for my sister and me. "

These three mirrors are only the size of a palm, but at this time they are already valuable, and they are still covered with brocade sleeves and silk cotton inside, lest they be shattered. Cao also knew that this was a rare thing, and he was surprised and delighted when he held it in his hand: "Master is really, this, how much silver does this cost......" said in his mouth, but he held it tightly in his hand, and took it again, "But this is much better than the bronze mirror, and the hair can be seen clearly." "

Taohua smiled: "Father said that he bought it on a ship that went to the ocean to sell goods from a friend." Otherwise, if this thing is shipped in, I am afraid that the price will only increase several times. "

"Even if it's cheaper to buy on the ship, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of silver." Cao Shi was happy and a little worried, "I don't know if the silver that the master has on him is enough." "

Taohua did not answer. These three mirrors actually didn't cost much, but Jiang Xi found a batch of fake medicines for a ship that went to the West, and the owner of the ship specially selected them from a friend to give them to him in gratitude, and the silver spent was only one-tenth of the price of the outside. These Jiang Xi were all written in the letter, and after Cao Shi read the letter carefully, he would naturally know.

The last thing in the box was a small bronze sailboat, which was only half a foot long, in the same scale as a ship. This is for Jiang Bohua, but the thing is not big, but the weight is not light, Jiang Bohua may not be able to hold it at this time.

Cao Shi was happier when he saw the things he gave to his son than when he saw them for himself, but he complained: "With such a heavy thing, where can Bai Ge'er play." The old man is really spending money ......."

Taohua smiled again, didn't say anything, only said: "There is something else in Zhuangzi, I will go and see tomorrow." "When it's time for the tortoiseshell tree to bloom, she'll have to go and see it.

"Go, go, go." Cao Shi was looking at these rare toys happily, and waved his hand indifferently.

Jiang Yanhua was beside her, and said busily: "Sister pick a mirror first." And this perfume, my sister also took two bottles. "

Taohua casually picked up a small mirror: "I'm not used to incense, so I'll leave the perfume to my wife and sister." I'll go back first. "I don't know if she smelled too much medicinal herbs around her grandfather in her previous life, but now she feels that the medicinal fragrance is more intimate than the fragrance of floral balsam powder. What's more, the perfume smell at this time is too strong, which is a bit irritating to people like her who have an exceptionally sensitive sense of smell.

Cao Shi saw her leave, sighed and put down the mirror in his hand: "Now it can be regarded as provoking the eldest girl." Look at talking to me these days, it's all lukewarm. Even if she wanted to celebrate her birthday, she refused. As he spoke, he couldn't help complaining, "If I had drunk some rattan soup she boiled that day, maybe it would have been better." Alas, if only I hadn't listened to you at the time......"

Jiang Yanhua opened her mouth, but swallowed her words back. At that time, it was obvious that she didn't believe Taohua when she looked at Cao's family, and she didn't want to drink the hook and rattan soup, so she spoke out to stop her, but now it's her fault. Mother's idea of always wanting to push things on others has never been revealed when she first came to Jiang's house, but these days she has relapsed again.

It's just her own mother, she can only listen, and explain her: "It's nothing." It's just a little colder. "

"What if she sues the master?" As soon as Cao Shi thought of this, she couldn't even make her laugh with the fresh toys in her hands.

If you knew this was the case, why did you ...... in the first place? Jiang Yanhua complained secretly in her heart, but she still had to say: "Mother don't worry." There is no evidence, and my father cannot say anything. In the end, I couldn't help but say, "It's just that my mother must not do this kind of thing again in the future!" There will be a next time, I'm afraid my sister won't give up! "

Cao Shi lowered his head at what his daughter said, and muttered: "Naturally, it's only this time." If your uncle can get a good job, it will not be in vain for me to take care of this matter. "

Jiang Yanhua snorted softly, not wanting to pick up her mother's words. Her feelings for Master Cao's family are not as good as those of Cao's family. Indeed, when she and the Cao family were kicked out by the Chen family, it was Master Cao Wu who took them in. But when he remarried the Jiang family later, half of the dowry sent by the Jiang family had already been left for Master Cao Wu, not to mention that the dowry brought by the Cao family was not subsidized back to the Cao family one after another? In this way, she and Cao's mother and daughter really don't owe anything to Master Cao. Besides, even if Master Cao Wu really has a good job in the future, she and her mother may not be able to get any light.
