104 Disease
Brother Miao was originally ordered to guard the entrance of the back garden, but seeing that the sky had darkened, his own girl never returned, and there was not even a ghost in the garden, let alone a sound, so Brother Miao became more and more difficult to calm down.
Although Yingluo had the order to let her just guard the garden and control the wind, Miao Ge still couldn't bear to run into the garden to find Qiyingluo.
Seeing Yingluo coming out of a rockery, Brother Miao instinctively glanced into the rockery, but it was dark and heavy among the rocks, and she didn't see anything. Seeing that Yingluo was intact, Brother Miao didn't look any further, suppressed the doubts in his heart, stepped forward to support Yingluo, and said, "The girl hasn't come back, the slave is in a hurry......"
Yingluo patted Brother Miao's hand, her face flushed slightly, and said, "I'm fine, let's go back quickly, you can lead the way in front." β
As she spoke, she let go of Brother Miao's hand, tightened the cloak on her body, and covered up the handful of orchids she was holding in her right hand.
It's not that she can't trust Brother Miao, it's really that she has a little hard to talk about things with Qin Yan, and she feels that she doesn't know where to start, and she always feels that it's better to hide this matter.
Brother Miao didn't say much, the flower path in the garden is rugged and curved, and she should lead the way in front.
Brother Miao walked in front, Yingluo followed, near a lotus pond, Yingluo pinched the orchid's hand and leaned out, looking at the lotus pond.
In this season, the lotus flowers naturally withered early, leaving a pool of stump branches, and if this bouquet of orchids was thrown into it, it would naturally destroy the corpse. Yingluo's hand was raised, but she was a little reluctant to shake it twice, bit her lip, hid the bouquet in her cloak again, and sighed softly.
Back in the house, Brother Miao wanted to take off the cloak for Yingluo, but Yingluo didn't seem to see her movements, strode into the inner room, went to bed directly, and took the opportunity to hide the bouquet of orchids under the pillow, and then took off the cloak by herself.
It's day and night, it's been two watches, Yingluo is still on the bed looking at the bouquet of orchids tossing and turning, the mask last time is just that, this time I got such a handful of flowers, where can this be hidden.
The fragrance of orchids is far away, the fragrance of orchids floats between the curtains, Yingluo looks at the orchids, thinking about the person who sent the flowers, even if she doesn't want to admit it, she can't resist the slightest throbbing and sweetness from the bottom of her heart, she knows that she is moved by the person who sent the flowers.
This realization made Yingluo shiver, and a wave of panic and irritability suddenly rose in her heart, and without looking at the orchid again, she pressed them hard against the bed, under the futon, and covered with the quilt.
Yingluo didn't say it well this night, at first because she couldn't think of what to do with the bouquet of flowers sent by Qin Yan, she kept tossing and turning, and then she was so irritable that she was so easy to fall asleep in a daze, but somehow she dreamed of the bits and pieces of her previous life and Xiao Qiyan.
She dreamed of Xiao Qiyan, who was meticulous and full of sweet words when she was in love, and also dreamed of Xiao Qiyan rolling with Gao Yingying in bed, and also dreamed of a baby who was covered in blood and shouting for her mother.
Then she woke up sweating profusely, and sat up, but Yingluo buried her face between her knees and couldn't calm her mood for half a while.
I don't know how long she sat silently in the dark before she slowly raised her head and lifted the veil tent, the sky outside was still dark and calm, and it looked like it should be about four watches. In the blue gauze cabinet outside, there was the sound of Brother Miao, who was keeping vigil, turning over.
Yingluo got up quietly, put on all the clothes, put on a thick cloak, turned out the bunch of orchids that were pressed under the quilt, and rolled into the cloak without looking at it again, and quietly walked out of the house.
Brother Miao Xu was tired and slept very deeply, Yingluo gently pushed open the door, and her figure flashed out of the room. Tonight's starry sky is excellent, and the stars in the sky are sprinkled with starlight.
Yingluo stepped on the cold light and walked quickly to the lotus pond in the back garden, this time she did not hesitate, raised her hand and threw the bouquet of orchids into a residual lotus, stood by the lotus pond for a while, and then turned back to Qiushui Courtyard.
I don't know if it's because of the tossing back and forth at night, or because of the bad mood, Yingluo got a cold the next day. Since Yingluo crossed, he has exercised his body every day, paid attention to maintenance, and his body is far stronger than the ordinary delicate ladies who have little activity.
Even though she almost drowned after falling into the icy river on the way back to Beijing, Yingluo didn't sneeze twice after being rescued. But this time, she was sick like a mountain, and she was dizzy for several days, and the anxious Yun mother was around.
After taking medicine for seven or eight days in a row, Yingluo gradually got better, and after recovering from the disease, she also cleared up. Seeing that she was so neat this day, Yun's mother smiled, withdrew the maids, stared at Yingluo and said: "The girl is sick these days, and my mother doesn't dare to ask more, the girl fell ill that day, and my mother saw that Brother Miao was a little unwilling, so she forced her to ask one or two, she said that the girl went to the back garden by herself for a long time that day, and she also heard the movement that night, the girl went out secretly, the girl didn't say, and she didn't dare to ask as a maid." As a result, the girl fell ill in the morning, what is the girl doing here?! β
Mother Yun's eyes were full of anxiety and worry, Yingluo looked at her heart, pulled Mother Yun's hand, blinked her eyelashes slightly, and said, "It's me who is not good, and I worry the nurse." I don't hide it from my mother, there were some people before, some things, but now it's all in the past, I don't want to think about it anymore, I don't want to say more, my mother just thought I had an unrealistic dream before, and now I woke up from the dream, everything is fine, don't ask, okay? β
Mother Yun had a guess when she heard this, and she jumped suddenly, she frowned and stared at Yingluo.
Seeing that Yingluo's eyes were sincere, but her expression was really frank and brisk, and her eyes were even clearer, Yun's mother relaxed a little, and no longer pressed to ask, but said: "It's good that the girl understands in her heart, her daughter's family really can't be wrong in half a step, especially in this word Qingyu, it is even more unpolluted, and if you make a mistake, it will be a catastrophe." β
Yingluo tightened Yun's mother's hand, nodded with a smile, looked at the sky, and saw that the sun had risen to the treetops outside, so she got up from the Luohan bed and said, "I said I was going to see the pharmacy given by the master, this illness has been delayed, and today is so good, it is a good day to travel." There is also the matter of opening a medicinal restaurant with Chi Gongzi, and my illness has been postponed. If we drag it down any longer, the remaining silver in our hands will really bottom out. I'll go and ask the master, and my mother will accompany me out of the house for a while, okay? β
Yingluo has just been sick, and Yun's mother also hopes that she can go out for a walk more, whether it is a relaxation or a good mood, and people are in a good mood, this illness can naturally be far away.
Yingluo went to Su Dingwen's study to ask for instructions, Su Dingwen agreed immediately, and Yingluo went to Ma's Fulu Courtyard to ask Ma's instructions, Ma has been taking medicine since he fell ill in the past, and his condition has been repeating, and Yingluo has not been able to see Ma's people at all.
This also saved trouble, she went back to Qiushui Courtyard to dress up, and then took Yun's mother and Brother Miao out of the house in a carriage.
The pharmacy under Su Jinghua's name assigned by Su Dingwen is located on Sitong Street, although it is not the most prosperous area, it is also a good area. The faΓ§ade is not big, there is only one shop, and there is no doctor sitting in the hall, only buying medicinal herbs.
Yingluo took Su Jinghua into the pharmacy, but saw that the pharmacy was clean and tidy, there were not many guests, two guys were busy grabbing medicine behind the counter, and the two guests in front of the counter looked at ordinary people wearing cotton clothes.
One of the short guys grabbed a taste of medicine, looked back and saw Yingluo and his party, Xu thought that a big customer had come, hurriedly threw away half of the medicine, hurriedly bypassed the counter and greeted him with a smile: "The young master and the young lady don't know what medicine to catch, the medicine in our Su Ji Pharmacy is genuine, the medicine is excellent, the amount is sufficient, and the custody of Tong Su is not deceitful!" β
The two guests who were grabbing the medicine saw Yingluo and his party coming in, and they all quietly lowered their heads and hid in the corner.
In this year, the common people saw that the nobles did not dare to collide head-on, although Yingluo had already seen the surprise, but she still felt a little uncomfortable, waved her hand at the guy, and said: "Are you Lei shopkeepers?" β
Since this medicine shop was assigned to Su Jinghua's name, Yingluo and Su Jinghua have never been to the shop, only the shopkeeper Lei was called into the Hou Mansion to see Su Jinghua once, which can be regarded as a recognition of the owner.
The guy was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Childe and Miss were originally looking for our shopkeeper, a new batch of medicinal materials came, and the shopkeeper led someone to count and load the warehouse in the back. β
Su Jinghua immediately waved his hand and said, "No need, you continue to grab medicine for that uncle, and the young master and sister can go to the back by themselves." β
The guy was stunned again, Su Jinghua had already let Yingluo go to the backyard, and Brother Miao, who was following behind, couldn't help glaring at the guy who was stunned on the spot, and said, "If you don't have eyesight, you can't tell the difference between the owner and the guest!" Can't you see the huge Houfu mark on the carriage outside? The proprietor tells you to beckon your guests to go, but don't go quickly! β
As soon as she shouted, the guy suddenly came over, and hurriedly made amends, and Brother Miao nodded at the uncle and man who had avoided in the corner, and then followed into the backyard.
The shopkeeper Lei in the backyard was really counting the newly arrived medicinal materials, and when he saw Yingluo and his party coming in, he hurriedly dropped his work and went over to greet the gift, Su Jinghua and the shopkeeper Lei exchanged two words, and saw that the person with the hat next to him was clearly the lady of the Hou Mansion, and guessed that it was probably Su Jinghua's sister-in-law, and he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the guys who were moving the medicinal materials to withdraw first.
Yingluo didn't stop her, and when everyone went down, Yingluo went to the cart pulling the medicinal materials, looked at the newly transported medicinal materials, and saw that the bags were tied very tightly, so she instructed the shopkeeper Lei: "Can the shopkeeper Lei open these bags for me to see?" β
The shopkeeper Lei said in his heart that this young lady is willful and rude, and it is difficult to serve, even if it is opened, she can still see that it is not possible.
muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say much on his face, so he stepped forward and untied the lacing one by one, but Yingluo pointed out the bags to Su Jinghua, and said, "Look, this is Coptis chinensis, Gastrodia, Eucommia, Morning Glory, Golden Cherry Root, Shanci Mushroom, ......."
There were about twenty kinds of medicinal materials on the cart, and Yingluo actually came out one by one, and the shopkeeper Lei standing next to him couldn't help but change his face slightly, and his expression was slightly stunned.
To say that these medicinal materials are like eucommia and gastrodia, and it is not unusual for everyone to recognize them, but there are many of these nearly twenty medicines that are not usually used, and there are still some that are difficult to recognize, but Yingluo is all right, which is amazing.
Could it be that this Miss Hou Fu is still an expert?
To say that Yingluo does not understand medicine, but she has been exposed to medicinal diets more in her previous life, and she knows most of the Chinese medicinal materials.
Therefore, these medicinal materials today are really difficult for her, she has been paying attention to the look of the Lei shopkeeper over there, seeing that his face has no contemptuous color, Yingluo hooked the corners of her lips, but said: "These medicinal materials are all OK, only this flavor of golden cherry root, Lei shopkeeper, if I remember correctly, this flavor medicine is the main treatment of dysentery and diarrhea, collapse and leakage, children's enuresis, every year from August to February of the following year dug up the golden cherry root washed, cut off, dried into the medicine The effect is the best, during this period, the golden cherry root should be purple and black on the surface after drying, with vertical stripes, odorless. But you look at this batch of golden cherry roots, the surface is purple and blue, and there are some peculiar smells, it should be dug out before the season, if such a medicine is used in medicine, I am afraid that it will affect the effect of the medicine. Sometimes there is a problem with the medicine, a prescription can not have the desired effect, the condition is not good, the patient will naturally change the pharmacy to catch the medicine, if the medicine of other people has a medicinal effect, we Su Ji is only afraid that he will be suspected of buying fake medicine, so isn't it going to smash the signboard? The matter of medicinal materials is not sloppy, the shopkeeper Lei said that this is not the reason? β
The shopkeeper Lei was sweating on his forehead while listening, and hurriedly checked the golden cherry root, and when he saw that it was as Yingluo said, he was frightened for a while, and hurriedly asked for guilt: "What the young lady said is that the villain was careless when he received the medicine, and asked the young master to punish him." β
Yingluo glanced at Su Jinghua, Su Jinghua stepped forward and dragged down the shopkeeper Lei, and said: "Look at what the shopkeeper Lei said, once this pharmacy enters the medicine, there are dozens of kinds at a time, and the shopkeeper Lei has a mistake, that is also human nature, the shopkeeper Lei has worked hard, and it will be more careful in the future, where is it worth punishing for this matter." β
Yingluo also smiled slightly, and said: "Even if I don't point out this medicine today, I think the shopkeeper Lei will be able to find the problem when he leaves the warehouse, this pharmacy has been open for more than ten years now, my father has been reusing the shopkeeper Lei, and the pharmacy has never had a problem for more than ten years, which means that the shopkeeper Lei is a trustworthy person, and our sister and brother also trust the shopkeeper Lei, the younger brother is young, and he has never been in contact with these chores before, and his father put the pharmacy under the name of his younger brother, which is also to hope that the younger brother can learn more skills, understands the economy, doesn't be a nerd who only knows how to read dead books, and hopes that the shopkeeper will help guide the younger brother in the future. β
Shopkeeper Lei didn't know that Su Yingluo's sister and brother had given a dismount and a corporal today, but at this moment, he really didn't dare to underestimate this pair of sisters and brothers, so he hurriedly bowed down and didn't dare, but his attitude was a lot more respectful.
Yingluo and Su Jinghua followed the shopkeeper Lei to see the medicine store, and then they entered the backyard and sat down, served tea, and Su Jinghua said: "The master and my sister have discussed, this pharmacy can be open until today, and now the master has taken over the pharmacy, and decided that the monthly remuneration of the shopkeeper Lei remains unchanged, or five taels of silver a month, in addition, the profit of the pharmacy every year is half a red for the shopkeeper Lei." β
Shopkeeper Lei was stunned when he heard this. He is not a slave of the Su family, but a good citizen, but he was hired by Su Dingwen to manage the pharmacy.
He hurriedly stood up, bowed, and didn't shirk much, and said: "The young master and the young lady trust the villain so politely, and the villain will definitely not disappoint the high expectations of the young master and the young lady." β
Su Jinghua got up and helped up the shopkeeper Lei, nodded with a smile and encouraged a few more words, and then said: "It's winter, I don't know if this quarter's accounts can come out?" Take it over and take a look. β
The previous accounts have been sent to the Hou Mansion, and Yingluo personally looked at the accounts, and clearly understood that although there are some small discrepancies, there are no big sources, and there can be an income of two or three thousand taels a year.
Such a small medicinal herb shop can have such a profit, it is already a good business, Yingluo also knows the truth that when the water is clear, there is no fish, because she thinks that this Lei shopkeeper is not bad, Yingluo wants to continue to use him, so she has today's beating and luring to accept it.
The shopkeeper Lei saw that Yingluo's sister and brother wanted to check the accounts, and he didn't say much, so he hurriedly went to get the accounts, and Yingluo ordered: "It's none of your business here, you can step back first, just don't let people disturb you." β
Shopkeeper Lei bowed and retreated. Not long after he retreated, Brother Miao came from the back door of the pharmacy and said, "Girl, Chi Gongzi is already waiting for the girl in the Songyue Teahouse, and sent Brother Suixi to come to the back door to wait for the girl, so that he can bring the girl over." β
When Su Jinghua heard this, he raised his head with a smile, patted the thick account next to him and said, "Sister, go quickly, these accounts are not difficult for me, don't tell Brother Chi to wait for a long time." β
Yingluo went out today mainly for the sake of the medicine restaurant, so she didn't say much, stood up and put on her hat and took Yun's mother with her, leaving Brother Miao to serve Su Jinghua, and quietly slipped out of the back door of the pharmacy.
