Chapter 40: Hideous
Yang Mo looked at Yan Ge Lao through the screen, "Yan Ge Lao asked the missionaries or merchants in Beijing to ask if there were any medicines called cinchona cream or quinine and cinchona bark. ”
What Golden Rooster...... Accept...... Frost, Kui ...... Ning, Miss Yang are all names from where you heard them.
Mr. Bai was also at a loss, Shen Weiyan looked at the figure behind the screen in a daze, and when he heard Miss Yang say so many things that others didn't know, admiration arose, and when he thought about himself again, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself. Maybe there is too much difference, every time he looks up at Miss Yang, it is as if he is looking for light in the dark, which makes him forget the worldly etiquette for a while.
Old Mr. Bai coughed, and Shen Weiyan came back to his senses and hurriedly lowered his head.
The more Miss Yang said, the more relieved Yan Ge Lao became, these reasonable words could not be said casually, "Miss Lao wrote down the name of the medicine, and I will send someone to inquire." ”
With the power of the Yan family, it shouldn't be difficult to find these medicines.
The housekeeper's mother took her subordinates to lay out the pen and ink, Yang Mo picked up the pen and wrote it clearly, and the Yan family took the prescription and began to look around in Beijing.
……
The subordinates of the Yan family knocked on the residence of the Western monk and explained the intention, and the subordinate respectfully sent the prescription to the monk, and the monk opened it immediately.
When the monk saw the words on the paper, his face almost changed, and he hurriedly lowered his head to cover it, and waited until his mind calmed down a little before he explained to the Yan family, "I have heard that one of my fellow villagers has about this medicine in his hand, but he went out of Beijing today, and he will wait for him to come back...... Send it to Yanfu. ”
The Yan family was immediately overjoyed, and asked people to take out the money and give it to the monk.
The monk shook his big head and refused, "Don't worry, don't worry." ”
The Yan family finally left the silver money, and went back to the Yan Mansion with joy to restore his life, and the monk named Fang Sanmai waited until there was no one at the door, and then he commanded the people around him to bring the cloak and put it on, and went straight to Qiao's house in a covert manner.
The post was handed over, and the Qiao family immediately had a steward to introduce Fang Sanmai into the mansion.
Mr. Qiao just got off the office, changed his clothes and came out to entertain guests, "I just wanted people to ask, Mr.'s new house is comfortable, and tomorrow I will send a plaque to hang up." ”
Fang Sanmai's blue eyes were full of anxiety, which made the smile on Master Qiao's face go clean.
The two of them entered the study and sent the people away, Fang Sanmai couldn't help but ask, "Can the master mention the matter of the cinchona tree to others?" ”
Hearing the words cinchona, Master Qiao's face suddenly sank, "No...... How can I bring this up...... We've been talking about it for a long time...... How can a third person know? ”
"That's weird," Fang Sanmai said in an unstandard accent, "How come the Yan family came and asked me for cinchona...... If everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty knew the use of cinchona...... What does Master Qiao want to take to receive credit. ”
Master Qiao's eyes widened, and a layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his body, almost forgetting to breathe, "You say...... What the...... The Yan family came to ask for ...... What does a cinchona tree do? How could they know about it? ”
This is exactly what Fang Sanmai asked Master Qiao.
"The medicinal materials have been shipped by merchant ships, if they can't be sold at a good price, how can I explain to our envoy, Master Qiao, we have said good......
Fang Sanmai chattered endlessly, Master Qiao seemed to be shocked as if he couldn't listen to anything, no one talked about this medicine for so long, seeing that it has entered the summer, there have been reports from the south to Beijing, this year's malaria is more serious than in previous years, he slept last night and dreamed of presenting the magic medicine to the saint, he couldn't help but wake up laughing, he had never looked forward to the rapid introduction of malaria into Beijing once, hoping that more people would die in Beijing, so that he could dedicate the prescription to be important, how could it ...... In the blink of an eye, it was known by the Yan family.
Where did the news leak, Master Qiao looked at Fang Sanmai, "What did you say to the Yan family?" ”
"What else can I say, I have to deal with the Yan family, and I will ask my fellow villagers to send them to the Yan family later," Fang Sanmai's hairy face wrinkled together looked funny, "They are all important ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and we can't afford to offend any of us...... To say no...... What will happen in the future...... We will be expelled. "Losing money is terrible, but deporting is even worse.
Old Master Qiao's eyes widened, revealing a bit of majesty, "Before I inquire clearly, I can't send the medicine to the Yan family." ”
Fang Sanmai was bluffed.
Master Qiao took the opportunity to call the steward, "Make a yard and let Mr. rest in the house." ”
Fang Sanmai was invited out, and Master Qiao was busy asking people to go out to inquire about the news, and after a while, he returned to the mansion to report, "It's the prescription given by the Yang family." ”
Master Qiao subconsciously blurted out, "Which Yang family?" ”
"That's it...... It is...... Porcelain Hutong, the Yang family that was raided, heard that it was Miss Yang who said that she wanted to use malaria to treat bayberry sores, and the Yan family went down first to look for good medicine for malaria. ”
Master Qiao stood up with a wave of his sleeves, and swept the tea bowls around him to the ground, how could the Yang family wait until the cinchona tree can cure malaria.
How did the Yang family know.
Master Qiao walked straight to the inner courtyard, Mrs. Qiao was sitting on the kang and talking to the maid with a smile, seeing that Master Qiao was full of iron, he hurriedly stood up and served, "Master, what's wrong?" Sweating all over," he said, looking at the maid, "Go and get a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup." ”
Mrs. Qiao was turning her head to speak, and suddenly felt a pain in her wrist as if she was caught in an iron clip, and turned her head in panic to meet Master Qiao's bloodshot eyes, "Didn't you say that the Yang family has no cure for malaria?" ”
Mrs. Qiao didn't know why the old man suddenly mentioned this, so she nodded hurriedly, "The concubine took a closer look, is it not." ”
Old Master Qiao's face was even more angry, "Then how did Miss Yang ask the Yan family to go to the monk to ask for cinchona." ”
Mrs. Qiao broke free but couldn't shake off Master Qiao's hand, "Master...... What's going on...... Speak slowly...... Quickly let go of the concubine. ”
Master Qiao let go of his hand for a while, and his copper bell-like eyes didn't blink, "Except for me, no one wants to use this flavored medicine, no one wants to use it, I'd rather burn all the medicine than give them a penny, I, Qiao, will never make a wedding dress for others." Let them be cured, let them get malaria, let them all die. ”
Master Qiao laughed twice, "The medicine that has never been used in the Great Zhou Dynasty, I don't believe that the imperial court will travel thousands of miles to Fanguo to transport it back because of the words of an orphan girl."
