Chapter 52: Heavy Duty
On the second day after Lan Tianyu got the jasmine slices, he heard that Lin Xiuyuan was injured, but fortunately it was not serious. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he immediately rushed to Tonghetang, arrived at Lin Xiuyuan's bedroom, pushed the door and entered, only to find that Yu Xuezhao was sitting in front of Lin Xiuyuan's bed, his eyes full of tenderness. Looking at Lin Xiuyuan again, with years of understanding of him, he was obviously pretending to be asleep.
Seeing this scene, Lan Tianyu already understood eight or nine points in his heart, and couldn't help but be happy for Lin Xiuyuan. After many days of infatuation and bitterness, I finally got through the peaks and turns, and the willows and flowers were bright.
After a while, Liu Xiaozhen also came. This housekeeper Liu's daughter has no less intentions for Lin Xiuyuan than Yu Xuezhao, and over the years, she is unswerving, which is also well known in Tonghetang. It's just that she has been amorous and hateful since ancient times, from beginning to end, she is wishful thinking, and Lin Xiuyuan has never taken her to heart.
Helping Lin Xiuyuan send Liu Xiaozhen away, Lan Tianyu was also thinking about how to get Bai Zhu to take the initiative to stay away from him. Recently, he was disturbed by Bai Zhu, and whenever he was with her, he often felt flustered and couldn't help himself. He has always been free to advance and retreat in Fengyue Field, he has an intuition and premonition, if he can't retreat this time, he will definitely fall deeper and deeper, and finally lose a lot. And the cynical love master Lantian Yu, how can he be defeated?
Thinking of this, a thought slowly rose in Lan Tianyu's heart.
Since Xue Zhao lived in Fengming Pavilion, he came to the inner courtyard to visit Lin Xiuyuan every day. Fortunately, Lin Xiuyuan did not hurt his muscles and bones, and he recovered quickly. On this day, she was changing the medicine for Lin Xiuyuan, Ren Shouchuan knocked on the door and came in, and when he saw Xue Zhao, he asked Lin Xiuyuan, "Shaodong, how do you feel today?" ”
Xue Zhao had already wrapped the wound on Lin Xiuyuan's shoulder at this time, and was helping him put his arm into the sleeve of his robe on his right side. Hearing Ren Shouchuan ask like this, she glanced at Lin Xiuyuan and said, "Brother Lin, you rest for a while, and I will come to see you in the afternoon." ”
Lin Xiuyuan held her hand, his eyes were full of warm smiles, and he said, "It's okay, come, sit down." As he spoke, he pulled her to his side and sat down, turned to Ren Shouchuan and said, "Doctor Ren said it's okay." In the future, if I am not there, I can discuss important matters with Miss Yu. ”
As soon as these words came out, both Ren Shouchuan and Xue Zhao looked at him in surprise, but saw that his tone was firm and unquestionable. Xue Zhao was slightly embarrassed, and said, "Brother Lin, Xue Zhao may not be able to take on this position." ”
Lin Xiuyuan said with a smile, "You can survive the ups and downs of the past, and these little things will not be difficult for you." Let Dr. Ren take you to familiarize yourself with the affairs of Shimotong and Hall, and it will be good to get familiar with it after a while. It's just that your body is still weak, so you shouldn't be too tired. ”
Xue Zhao heard that she trusted her so much in herself, so she had to nod. Ren Shouchuan had recovered from his surprise, so he no longer cared about anything, and said truthfully, "Shaodong, there are more new medicinal materials in the hall during this period of time, and there are more untruthful than before. ”
Lin Xiuyuan's face turned grim when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice, "You tell me the details." ”
Ren Shouchuan listened and said, "Yes, Shaodong." In the past, among the medicinal materials collected by Tonghetang, there were also herbs that were very similar in appearance and very different in fact, and most of them were caused by the negligence of the guy who was responsible for collecting the medicinal materials. However, in the past six months, the number of adulteration of medicinal materials has increased, especially in the past few months, which is better than before. The old man has been puzzled for a long time, and he has to report to the young owner. ”
Lin Xiuyuan pondered for a while and asked, "Does Steward Liu know about this?" ”
Ren Shouchuan said, "The old man didn't ask Steward Liu, and Steward Liu never mentioned it. ”
Lin Xiuyuan nodded, turned his head to look at Xue Zhao and said, "Xue Zhao, you have been familiar with pharmacology since you were a child, and you are much stronger than ordinary pharmacists. Now the guy who collects medicinal herbs needs someone to keep an eye on him, why don't you help me keep an eye on it? ”
Xue Zhao saw him looking at him with expectant eyes, so he had to nod and agree, "Since Brother Lin said so, Xue Zhao is willing to do his best." Lin Xiuyuan frowned when he heard this, patted her hand gently, and instructed, "Collecting medicinal materials is not available every day, you have to take care of your body more on weekdays, don't be too tired." ”
Xue Zhao lowered his eyes, looked at the hand he held tightly, and nodded gently.
On the second day, Xue Zhao came to the lobby of Tonghetang, where Ren Shouchuan took her to familiarize herself with the herbs in the medicine cabinet and explained to her in detail which herbs were easy to adulterate. I only heard Ren Shouchuan whisper to her, "Miss Yu, the old man will first tell you which medicinal materials are the most difficult to distinguish, and then carefully tell you how to distinguish them." Miss Yu is very intelligent, and she knows it at a glance. ”
As he spoke, he opened the medicine drawers one by one, and took out the herbs inside to explain to her, "You see that this safflower, if it is soaked in water, the color will fade, and the water will be dyed red, and it will be dyed by the tongue-shaped flower of the chrysanthemum; This Polygonum multiflorum is most likely another medicinal herb, Huangyaozi; There are also gastrodia made from taro root, American ginseng made from bellflower, Ganoderma lucidum disguised from tree tongue, etc., and even worse, those people mix and press with rat skin and bone meal to pretend to be deer antler velvet! Alas! The more Renshouchuan spoke, the more excited he became, and he showed an anxious look between his eyebrows, and said, "It is really a great crime to ruin the name of Tonghetang and harm people's lives by such a person who has lost his conscience!" ”
The more Xue Zhao listened, the more frightened she felt, and after Ren Shouchuan finished speaking, she had not yet recovered from the shock. If the person who collects the medicinal materials cannot distinguish the real from the fake, resulting in the fake medicinal materials flowing into Tonghetang, I don't know how many people will suffer because of this! Originally, he came to Tonghetang to see the disease and take medicine, but because of the fake medicinal materials, the condition worsened and even lost his life, wouldn't it make Tonghetang's reputation ruined, and decades of reputation ruined!
Xue Zhao suddenly realized that Lin Xiuyuan had entrusted such an important matter to her, obviously trusting her extremely much. A warmth rose in her heart, he regarded her as the closest person, what else did she have to worry about? Thinking of this, she looked at Ren Shouchuan firmly and said, "Doctor Ren, the snow photos have been recorded. Xue Zhao will do his best to live up to Brother Lin's trust! ”
Ren Shouchuan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xue Zhao, showed a pleased smile on his face, and said, "No wonder the young owner thinks about Miss and never forgets it, Miss Yu is really the heart of the seven tricks, and the thought of the soft silk and reed." Although there have been many accidents in the past, he has always been tenacious. The young owner is really as wise as a torch! ”
Xue Zhao heard him praise like this, and said with a little embarrassment, "Doctor Ren praised it falsely. If there are medicinal materials coming in these days, I will ask Dr. Ren to give me more guidance, and Xue Zhao is grateful. ”
Ren Shouchuan nodded and said, "Miss Yu is polite, the old man should be." In addition, there are several pharmacology books here, which I have learned in the past few decades, and all of them have been written in them. If Miss Yu doesn't dislike it, the old man will take it to Miss. If you have doubts in the future, you may be able to learn a thing or two from them. ”
Xue Zhao's eyes flashed when she listened, and Ren Shouchuan's unreserved trust in her made her suddenly have a strong sense of belonging. Here, there is Lin Xiuyuan's Tonghetang, which seems to have become her second home.
