Chapter 035: Dependence
Now that the power of this world is greater than everything, the small families of the poor have no power to rely on, and there is no guarantee for their lives, let alone compete with such powerful people.
"No wonder many children of civilians are keen on the imperial examination, even if there is only a glimmer of hope of becoming an official, they must hold on tightly."
Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Yucheng also heard Xiao Pei talk about what happened yesterday at this time, and he also frowned, and he also hated himself for being a dignified man but not being able to provide support for his family.
Do you just watch others snatch your family's source of livelihood?
A few people ate lunch without knowing the taste, Xiao Yu thought about it, maybe he could really only sell the secret recipe for making fairy grass jelly. But there are two in everything, and if you want to sell sour bamboo shoots next, you may not be able to keep the method of making them.
Xiao Yu didn't take this money seriously, but felt that it would encourage those people to bully others, so he was unwilling to compromise easily.
But in the face of such a powerful oppression, poison does not have much effect. Why don't you get some medicine to attract snakes and insects?
In the afternoon, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yucheng still went to the river to catch fish and shrimp as usual, but they were a little depressed. Even if you decide to sell the secret recipe, it will be difficult to calm down.
When they came back with the fish basket, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yucheng saw two more mule carts parked in front of their homes from a distance, and both of them couldn't help but look slightly gloomy and strode into the courtyard gate. I saw that in addition to the shopkeeper Hu, there was another middle-aged man in bright red clothes in the courtyard.
“…… The desserts of the royal banquet are often ordered at Taiheju. The man was condescending to Xiao Pei.
Taiheju is a long-established pastry shop in Yongan County, so it's no wonder that this person thinks highly of himself.
"That's a coincidence, the Junwang Mansion also ordered sachets from my Xiao family. Speaking of which, this fairy grass jelly was also sent to the General's Mansion. Xiao Yu couldn't help but speak, with a mocking tone, and stood beside Xiao Pei in a few steps.
"Sister Ayu, there is a guest at home today?" At this time, Hao Jun's loud voice happened to come from outside the hospital, and the person arrived before the sound arrived.
Xiao Yu's heart moved slightly, Hao Jun came at a good time, maybe he could really borrow the momentum of the General's Mansion. She immediately greeted and took the things in his hand, and said with a smile: "Why did the eldest brother come after so many days, how is the general?" You brought something nice to eat last time, right? ”
Xiao Yucheng always felt a little strange when he heard this, and only reacted after a while: Listening to this, when did Xiao Yu become so familiar with the General's Mansion?
I only heard Hao Jun smile and said: "Of course the general is good, but there have been a lot of things in the camp recently." ”
When the shopkeeper Hu and Natai Heju heard this, their faces changed greatly, and they were suspicious. Does this Xiao family really have anything to do with the General's Mansion? Who in Yong'an County doesn't know that General Ling is selfless and jealous like hatred, and he is most unaccustomed to bullying people, and more importantly, he is very protective of his shortcomings.
looked at each other from the front, but behind Hao Jun, there was a young man who looked like a retinue and came in with a wooden box carved with vermilion lacquer.
"By the way, Sister Ayu, the general is full of praise for the wound medicine you asked me to take back last time." Hao Jun patted his head and said with great joy, "To say that such a good medicine can greatly reduce casualties when used on the battlefield." This time, the general brought you something from the mansion, come and take a look. ”
When the shopkeeper Hu heard this, he saw the mark of the General's Mansion on the gift box, his face turned pale, and his legs and feet were a little weak.
Xiao Pei and Xiao Yucheng were surprised and delighted.
Xiao Yu's heart was even more excited, and he stepped forward and took the gift box with a smile. Glancing at the two people in the courtyard who were still full of momentum just now, they were already ugly at this time, and sweat was on their foreheads. She immediately opened the lid of the gift box, and saw that the red cloth inside was sealed with silver, a stone blue brocade and two orchid brocade scales.
At this time, the attendant turned back, came in with a sack from outside, and asked, "Where is this rice?" ”
Xiao Pei hurriedly led him to put the rice in the kitchen.
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "The general is too polite, I just do my best." Actually, I was going to go to the General's Mansion to deliver medicine when I was free. As she spoke, she glanced at the two lobbyists standing in the courtyard, and seemed to say casually, "It's just that I've been in some trouble recently, so I've put it aside for the time being." ”
Hao Jun immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Yu glanced at the two of them, and seemed to smile: "It's nothing, it's just that someone came to the door to buy my recipe for fairy grass jelly, and I didn't want to sell it......"
"Since the girl doesn't sell, Hu Mou is bothered, so I'll leave first." The shopkeeper didn't wait for Xiao Yu to finish speaking, and hurriedly laughed.
Natai and Ju also nodded in agreement, and the two turned around and walked out.
When they got out of the courtyard, the two saw that the carriage parked outside the door also had the mark of the General's Mansion, and they secretly complained and hurriedly drove away.
In Yuedi, running to the house of someone who is close to the General's Mansion and wants to oppress people with power, isn't that looking for death!
And Hao Jun in the courtyard listened to Xiao Yucheng tell what happened, and he was so angry that he scolded: "What is it! I'm going to bring those two pigs and dogs back and make it clear! ”
Xiao Pei didn't want to make a big fuss, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Hao, forget it, why bother chasing after everyone is gone." ”
"Sister said yes. They thought that the Xiao family was weak and could be bullied, but they probably didn't dare to come back after this incident. In the future, you can always come to support you. Since the wound medicine is effective, I will write the formula for you and bring it back. Xiao Yu said with a smile.
She has now realized the need to make friends with powerful people, not to mention that the mystery of her parents' death is unsolved, and she will definitely have to rely on the General's Mansion in the future, and now that she has the opportunity, she naturally has to build a good relationship.
Hao Jun was overjoyed, but he hesitated a little: "I want to come often, but wouldn't it be good for you to pass on this prescription to outsiders?" ”
"It's a great thing to save lives and help the wounded." Xiao Yu is selfless, righteous and awe-inspiring.
Hao Jun and the other three were very moved when they heard this, Hao Jun was even more solemn, and praised: "Sister Gao Yi of Ah Yu, I am ashamed of myself as a seven-foot man, I thank you on behalf of my brothers in the army!" ”
Xiao Yu took the pen, ink and paper that Xiao Yucheng took out, and shook his wrist in the hall. Hao Jun sent the soldier who came with him to fetch water, and he watched from the side.
The ingredients of this injury prescription are mainly Panax notoginseng powder, a miracle drug for hemostasis. At this time, the world did not know that this medicine existed, so Xiao Yu wrote the prescription, and had to draw a detailed picture to draw it, and then add a description of the form and place of growth to make it easier to find. Because she hadn't started writing for too long, she discarded a few pictures before she got a more satisfactory one.
Xiao Yu took out an unconcocted piece of Panax notoginseng from the East House, put it in a bag along with the prescription and drawing, and handed it to Hao Jun, saying, "You give this to the general." At that time, people did not know this flavor of medicinal materials, and they were afraid that there was nowhere to buy them, so it was best to find a medicine farmer to plant. I still know a thing or two about this, so if I don't understand, I'll ask. ”
Hao Jun nodded, knowing the importance of this thing, and carefully put the cloth bag into his arms like a baby.
After dinner, Hao Jun didn't stop in Niujiao Village for long, and drove back to the city with Ling Yi's entourage, Xiao Yu and Xiao Pei put mountain goods on the carriage and brought them back, Xiao Yu also specially took a few bottles of Panax notoginseng to stop bleeding for Hao Jun.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile as he watched the carriage go away, hidden among the trees. The Xiao family now also has a big reliance!
Finding a backer is also an ability at any given time.
Back at the General's Mansion, Hao Jun made a detailed report to Ling Yi about what he encountered at Xiao's house today.
Ling Yi heard that someone was openly oppressing people with power and wanted to obtain the Xiao family's immortal grass frozen recipe, so he couldn't help but say with a cold face: "If it weren't for Zichen's mention of stopping bleeding today, wouldn't it have allowed them to succeed?" ”
Hao Jun next to him immediately nodded again and again: "Just rush the prescription given by Ah Yu, and the general can't let her be bullied." ”
As early as last year, Ling Yi knew that Hao Jun was familiar with the Xiao family, and he didn't feel strange to hear that he was defending the Xiao family, but there was one thing he didn't seem to have heard: "What recipe?" ”
Hao Jun then remembered, took out the bottles of hemostatic powder and wound medicine prescriptions and the artwork of Sanqi, and handed them to Ling Yi like a treasure: "This is the prescription of the wound medicine, this is the appearance of the main medicine, what is it called." ”
Ling Yi's eyes lit up: "Second Miss Xiao took out the prescription for the wound medicine that had an excellent hemostatic effect?!" Show me quickly. ”
He took the prescription from Hao Jun's hand, and immediately instructed after reading it: "You have to walk around the Xiao family more in the future, and if there are any people who are not long-sighted, report to me." ”
Hao Jun was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately gave a military salute, and said with a full sense of anger: "The general has an order, and his subordinates should strictly implement it!" ”
Ling Yi knew Hao Jun's careful thoughts, and waved his hand to retreat with a smile, but remembered that the little girl was injured and Xiao Pei had been detoxified.
That Xiao Er girl obviously has an extraordinary background, but she can't find anything.
