Chapter 236: The Book of Medicine
Green Bamboo handed over the prescription.
Lu Qingrong took it and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't see why.
She doesn't know anything about Chinese medicine.
For fear of making people suspicious, Lu Qingrong had previously instructed Mo Nan to send someone out to ask blindly, but now he finally collected a complete prescription.
"There's nothing wrong with this medicinal herb, right?" Lu Qingrong asked.
"Say no, just take out every flavor, it's just an ordinary medicinal material, so the question is very smooth, and it doesn't attract attention." Green Bamboo Returns.
"Hmm." Lu Qingrong nodded slowly, and the doubts in his heart were not dispelled.
Even if she no longer understands medical science, she understands that this medicine must be matched to be effective. At this moment, I only know that there is no poisonous medicine in it, but it does not mean that it is still safe to mix together.
In case of leakage, Lu Qingrong didn't plan to consult the doctor.
She had already put away those medicinal herbs and dregs, and she should have waited for Jiang Xuan to come back before making a decision. But she just didn't feel at ease, afraid that if she lost it, or if she didn't store it properly, it would be wasted. Although she can't understand this recipe now, she knows every word, and she can be a lot more sure in her heart.
After all, she had worked a lot to get these medicinal materials and dregs.
Suddenly remembering Aunt Chen and Aunt Wei in Jingchun Hall before, Lu Qingrong asked in a deep voice: "Without the two aunts, those maids who are temporarily hiding in Zhuangzi will take them back in a few days!" ”
"The slave is also thinking about this!" Lu Zhu hurriedly said: "Seeing that the weather is getting hotter, most of the clothes they brought at that time were spring clothes, if they can come back in a few days, do you think they will send someone to send them some summer clothes?" ”
Lu Qingrong nodded and said, "I almost forgot about this!" Then let Caimei and Cailian take a few little guys for a trip, and you can call them both now. ”
Luzhu got the order, and after a while, he led the two into the house.
Lu Qingrong hadn't seen them for a few days.
Usually, she doesn't need these two people at all for her sleep and daily life, and even before Jiang Xuan leaves, she rarely lets them into the inner room again.
Seeing them at this time, Lu Qingrong couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
I saw that the two of them were still wearing green dresses, but they all seemed to be different people, without powder, and their faces were facing the sky.
If it weren't for Luzhu leading them in, Lu Qingrong would have had a hard time trying to recognize who it was.
After looking at it for a while, Lu Qingrong realized that something was wrong, the biggest difference between the two in front of him and the past was not in the makeup, but in the figure.
"How did you lose weight like this?" Lu Qingrong frowned.
These two people are at least a dozen pounds less than before.
"The slave didn't lose much weight!" Cai Lian immediately shook her head, refusing to admit it.
Cai Mei on the side gently dragged her before she replied respectfully to Lu Qingrong: "Mrs. Lao is worried!" We had a bad stomach a few days ago, and we have gone to the front yard to get medicine, and we have been fine in a few days. ”
Lu Qingrong looked at the two suspiciously, not knowing which one they were doing.
didn't pay much attention to it, she directly ordered them to go to Zhuangzi to deliver clothes.
Cai Mei and Cai Lian immediately responded and went out to prepare.
Lu Qingrong turned his head and asked Luzhu: "What's the matter with these two people?" ”
"It seems that I have been sick for a few days, but I have heard others talk about it, and even when they are good, I don't see them eat much." Green bamboo said truthfully.
"Is it easy to get medicine in the front yard?" Lu Qingrong asked suddenly.
"There is a medicine room in the front yard, some commonly used medicinal materials are prepared, people in the house have a headache and brain fever, generally go directly to take the medicine to eat, save every time you have to go out of the house to see a doctor. The Lin steward in the pharmacy is said to have sat in the hospital in his early years, and the maids and ladies in the house trust his medical skills. ”
"Is there a lot of medicine in it?" Lu Qingrong asked again.
"It is said that Master Hou has been ill for so many years, and the medicine in it is getting more and more complete." Lu Zhu explained: "However, Hou Ye must use the prescription of the imperial doctor to use medicine, and that Lin steward is not qualified to interfere." ”
"Let's go out for a walk." Lu Qingrong stood up.
"You're going to the pharmacy?" Green bamboo is a little uncertain.
"Of course not!" Lu Qingrong smiled, and said as he walked: "Let's go to the study of the deceased son and see if there are any books on pharmacology." ”
In Lu Qingrong's impression, Jiang Xuan's study has a lot of miscellaneous books, in addition to the subset of classics and history, miscellaneous records of wild history, geographical and celestial phenomena, etc., maybe there are also related to medicine.
Lu Zhu followed Lu Qingrong to the study of the prince, originally a little worried, knowing that Mo Nan had been keeping the key to the study and not letting anyone in.
didn't think about it, seeing that it was Lu Qingrong, Mo Nan didn't even ask, he directly opened the doors inside and outside the study, and invited them in, but he himself didn't follow, just stood outside the door and waited.
Entering the study, Lu Qingrong's master and servant took a look inside, and there were so many types on the bookshelf, and they were stunned that they didn't see a single book related to medicine.
Just when Lu Qingrong was about to leave, she happened to notice that on the west side of the black lacquered wood bookshelf on the north side of the house, there was a camphor wood box, and she couldn't help but be surprised when she opened it casually.
Inside was a whole box of medical books.
From "Shennong Baicao" to "Compendium of Materia Medica", there are some scattered prescriptions on the side of the wall, and there is even a set of former dynasty medical cases in the corner......
Lu Qingrong couldn't help but sigh.
In the past, I heard a lot of rumors about the weak health of the Marquis of Jingyuan, and later Jiang Xuan once confessed to her that this was just a trick.
At this time, when she saw these medical books again, she knew in her heart that these should have nothing to do with Jiang Xuan's own "illness", and he must have been haunted by Mrs. Jiang's sudden death.
Lu Qingrong simply sat down on the rosewood circle chair by the window and quietly flipped through the books.
Lu Zhu also picked up a copy casually and sat on the brocade stool next to him to look at it. Although she doesn't know much, she knows all the words, and the recipe is that she copied each herb on a piece of paper, and she can still be competent to help find a similar prescription at the moment.
The study room became extremely quiet, except for the occasional sound of flipping books......
At the same time, the two of them who returned to their house were muttering non-stop.
"Madame can see that we have lost weight, will this not be good?" Cailian was a little worried.
"Didn't Madam pursue it again, what are you afraid of!" Caimei's tone was indifferent.
"I'm not afraid of ......" Cailian hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth, "I'm hungry." Why don't we eat for a few days? In case we starve ourselves again, we will follow in the footsteps of Aunt Chen and Aunt Wei......"
After Cai Lian finished speaking, she looked at Cai Mei expectantly.
Cai Mei was unmoved, looking like she hated iron but not steel, and said: "You came up with this idea, could it be that you can't hold on to it yourself?" ”
"Not really." Cai Lian pursed her lips, "I was thinking, the prince doesn't know when he will be able to come back, are we too anxious?" ”
Cai Mei ignored her, went directly to lie on the bed, and said after a while: "I have drunk a small half bowl of porridge in the morning, and I won't eat anymore today, if you can't help it, just go and eat it!" ”
After saying that, Caimei turned over, leaving only Cailian with a back.
Cai Lian wrung the handkerchief in her hand a little embarrassed, and it took a long time to make up her mind and go to lie down on her bed.
Counting them, they have been like this for a few days, and they rarely eat. Fortunately, they don't have much work to do on weekdays, especially now that Jiang Xuan is not in the house, they don't even have to go to the house every once in a while.
Lu Qingrong had long forgotten about the two of them, and only focused on the book in front of him.
These medical books stored by Jiang Xuan are very suitable for people who have no foundation.
Lu Qingrong was not so urgent at this time, she didn't have to find the exact same recipe in a moment and a half, since she had plenty of time, she simply looked at it step by step.
A whole box full of books, this look, a month is so fleeting, but I haven't even finished half of it.
On this day, Lu Qingrong did not go to the study as usual, but came to Fengyuan.
Today is Qiu Jinting's son's full moon.
Strange to say, from the time the child was born until the full moon, he had not yet been named.
Mrs. Wu was a little anxious, urging Jiang Ke to choose a blessed name, but he was always delayed by him for various reasons.
Especially Jiang Ke mentioned that the child was born earlier, his body was extremely thin, and he couldn't help but be weak, and it was inappropriate to name him too early, so it was better to accumulate more time to write in order to be able to afford a good name.
Mrs. Wu then agreed.
So for a whole month, the whole Fengyuan just shouted "Big Young Master", and nothing else.
Also because of the child's physical reasons, since he was born, whether it is Xisan or today's full moon, there has been no big deal, but everyone in the Hou Mansion has gathered together and symbolically passed.
Imperial Physician Zou has been here several times, and each time he has instructed extremely seriously that this child is weak and weak, and he must not be shocked, and every qiē ceremony should be simple.
Mrs. Wu was naturally more cautious, and she was really afraid of the grandson who she was looking forward to with great difficulty, and she was really afraid of melting in her mouth, and she obeyed the instructions of Imperial Doctor Zou, and did not want to go on any business trips, for fear of being happy and sad.
And Lu Qingrong has never been to Fengyuan since the day of the third day.
Today's full moon, as soon as I entered the hall of Fengyuan, I saw Mrs. Wu sitting on the main seat in the center, with Jiang Ke and Qiu Jinting on both sides.
Behind them, there was a medium-sized, white and round woman, about twenty years old, who was the wet nurse invited by Jiang Ke, who was standing there with the child in her arms at the moment.
Lu Qingrong's gaze swept inadvertently, but it stopped on the kid and couldn't move away.
I saw that he was lying in the nurse's arms very well-behaved at this time, and his thin and small appearance was not much different from when he was born! R1152
