Chapter 16 Gu Ren The Old Man
1 more
When Gu Ren's first letter arrived, it was the day after Qiluo met Cheng An, she had just gone to the military department to talk about the new signing, and she didn't see Cheng An, so she went back to Changchun Hall. She had already sent a message to Gu Ren from other places through Changchun Hall's own channels, and she was thinking about how to deal with it in Changchun Hall, when she found that there was a small intestine grass on the bookcase in her account room.
Qiluo looked at the little poisonous weed raised in the flower pot in a daze, which seemed to be weak, who had nothing to do with this here? She rarely uses intestinal herb as medicine, this toxicity is too easy to dissolve, she generally uses animal poisons, which can be blended, and in general, it is more difficult to solve.
"This is sent by the uncle's post station, and there is a letter from home." The girl smiled, smiling and pointing to the case.
Qiluo noticed that on the desk, there was a thick envelope on the side of the flower pot. She was not busy reading the letter, but went to wash her face and put her hair down. Let the girl recomb her hair in a way that makes her comfortable, and then come back and sit down.
The envelope was very thick, and when I opened it, I saw several sheets covered with dense fly-headed letters. Speaking of words alone, this person really got the true biography of his father, the line of one color, his father taught people to write prescriptions, saying that he hated the self-righteous doctor the most, and the prescriptions he wrote were like books from heaven, and when he got it, he didn't know what he wrote. Practicing medicine and writing are all about being a person, and you must behave properly and sit up straight. So as soon as I looked at this word, I knew that Gu Ren must have been beaten a lot back then.
The content is nothing, except for greeting her parents and her, it is something similar to a travelogue. Say where he got off the bus, which hotel he stayed in, and then how the hotel was like last year, how the meals were, how it was. He even described a piece of fat in detail. Zuihou said that he was fine after dinner. Found in a rock crevice on the side of the road while walking outside. I think it's a merchant who comes and goes, so I don't take it lightly to bring it here. Thinking that this was not available in the mountains near the capital, he dug it out and showed her.
Kira looked back and looked at it again, feeling a little strange in her heart, but she tried to suppress it, and let the letter be sent to the backyard to show the lord and wife, for they should be very happy to see her son's life outside.
Then she stared at the broken bowel. This is on the cliff on the mountain, not that there is no capital city, but the cliff wall of the capital is under royal management, and no one is allowed to pick things there. It's just a huge poison, she has used it a lot for a while, but what did Gu Ren dig this out for herself? Gu Ren wouldn't be thinking about letting himself grow this at home, right?
In fact, artificially cultivated herbs have been the same since ancient times, but the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine are one medicine at one time, one place. Obviously, the weather in the two places is about the same, but the efficacy of the medicine planted is very different, and it was later. It's become two medicines. Like this, the broken intestine grass can grow on the cliffs, which means that it can tolerate cold, wind and drought. This is also why Gu Ren found it in a crack in the ground next to the small hotel, and it is estimated that the broken intestine grass was not cleaned up. The seeds on the blades of grass fell, and by chance, they let it live. But what's the use of surviving? Is the medicinal property still the same?
Just as she was staring at this herb in a daze, Gu Yi came. Now he is a dozen, and he rushes to do all kinds of chores. But that's exactly what it is. Let Kira admire him a little. Second Uncle Gu couldn't sting, and then Gu Yi lost his position as the steward of the workshop. But now he had done a good job that he hadn't thought of before. Miscellaneous work is the most haode is to take care of everything, and then this is the most intuitive place to really understand the operation of Changchun Fang, so Qiluo admires him very much, but he is also more guarded, a master who can be ruthless, is really not an ordinary person.
"What's wrong?" Kira got up and put the flower pot on the windowsill and sat down on her own.
"Today's inventory, and the on-the-counter shipping list." In the afternoon, every day to take inventory, how much inventory, how much shipments on the counter, although it is a little troublesome, but this is also a helpless thing, the Ministry of War is urging tightly, the production capacity of the workshop is only so much, and Changchun Hall can not close the door, so now they make medicine on a daily basis, after making up, the rest of the time are desperate to complete the list of the Ministry of War.
"The Cheng family sent troops, who are they going to send to follow." Kira looked at it, it was similar to yesterday, and while writing about the medicinal materials to be prepared the next day, she asked her another question by the way.
"What's the follow?" Gu Yi didn't know what her sister-in-law was talking about at all.
"When we send troops, don't we need to send someone to take the center to respond? If there is any problem, how can it be handled? ”
"Of course not, we sent the medicine to the military department, and then they received the goods, this medicine has nothing to do with us, if we send people, it is easy to have an accident, and then people can plant anything on us." Gu Yi said, but there was a smile on his face, obviously he finally felt that his sister-in-law was not all omnipotent in addition to practicing medicine and medicine. She also has blind spots, which makes Gu Yi feel much better.
Kira was stunned for a moment, thinking, "Haven't sent anyone all along?" ”
"Of course, even if the Ministry of War asks for it, we will not agree. They received the goods, and the two families put seals on them, and the silver goods were two, otherwise, if something happened to the real medicine, we would not be able to pay for a few lives. Gu Yi is sure.
Kira asked him to go out, and he couldn't help but pat his head, why was he so stupid. I have been in charge of medicine for so many years, and the constitution of the Ministry of War boasts that there is nothing she doesn't know, but it turned out to be a big oolong here, yes, the Ministry of War will never let a merchant follow to the battlefield.
The first time she went on an expedition with Taijun back then, she just wanted to see the place where Cheng An sacrificed. Taijun already felt that she was pitiful, so she asked her to take care of the medicine account after thinking about it, saying that this was her specialty and she should be able to do a good job. In fact, she also understands that Taijun is looking for something for her to do, saving her from thinking nonsense. Fortunately, this is the Daxing Dynasty, and it is not a matter for a woman to be an official, otherwise it is really eye-catching.
When she first received the military quartermaster, at that time, she was as old as herself now, but at that time, she was really sixteen-year-old Duan Qiluo. Timid and shy, she was taught by Duan Ding, and she had a kind of paranoid attachment to medicine and medicine, and she almost didn't succeed at all, so at that time, she was much more nervous than she imagined, and she actually made a lot of mistakes.
But she is not Cheng An, Cheng An is a real family, he has a natural nobility, unlike her, she has a low background, and she comes out to do things as the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family, and she is cautious everywhere, for fear of embarrassing the Cheng family, so she is actually a little timid in doing things.
So before the trip, she summoned the stewards of each family, she believed in the professionalism of others, at that time she didn't pay attention to what the stewards of each family looked like, she only wanted their professional knowledge, so she at least didn't throw people to the business like Cheng An. Well, the loss is yourself, if you change someone, Cheng An will lose a lot of money. So when she went out for the first time, although she was nervous, she was really not as ashamed as Cheng An.
And in the eighteen years that Qiluo has been in charge of the medicine account, there has always been a shopkeeper of Changchun Hall by her side, because the first time, he followed. She only asked, and he said that it was from Changchun Hall; She asked your surname, and he said that his surname was Gu for free. Qiluo didn't ask much, and she kept calling him Gu Shopkeeper for the next eighteen years.
Kira always thought it was the rule. Later, every year, the shopkeeper Gu followed, and he could also help, so he felt that this was the way it should be, it turned out that there was never anything in this world that should be.
They are not friends, but when something really happens, the shopkeeper Gu can really help. Now Gu Yi said that there is no such rule at all, so who is that Gu shopkeeper? She thought about it, she shook her head, she was so stupid, why was she so stupid. turned out to be a person who has been with him for 18 years, and he didn't pay attention to it at all. What kind of brain do you have? No wonder it is said that the closest one, on the contrary, does not pay attention.
In fact, now that I think about it, there is more than one enshrinement, why only Changchun Hall sent people to follow, she actually has a number in her heart, right? Even if she didn't know, it was Gu Ren, but she believed that Gu Ren should be not at ease and sent someone to follow. But she didn't ask, and Taijun didn't ask much, so she let it go. After a long time, they all took it for granted and got used to it.
Sometimes, at the border pass, when the wind and waves are calm, she will stand on the tower and look at the legendary place where Cheng An died in battle. I imagined in my mind the tragedy of the year. Often when she turned around, she could see the shopkeeper Gu, who was also standing there in a daze. Later, when they got acquainted, she would point to the land and say, "My father-in-law is there, and I told General Cheng that when I die, I will be burned to ashes and sprinkled there, and finally the two of us will be companions." ”
Shopkeeper Gu smiled, "It's finally a companion." ”
She laughed too, "yes, it's a companion at all." ”
Shopkeeper Gu is the same as her, he talks very little, meets and says a word, and then separates. When he was busy, his medicine was more familiar than others, Qiluo was busy saving people, and the shopkeeper Gu was on the side to help her with medicine, and they cooperated tacitly. After a few years of Zuihou, the direction of her research changed, and when many medicines could not be taken into military accounts, and they could not be purchased publicly, she always gave the medicine list to the shopkeeper Gu, but at that time, what she said to the shopkeeper Gu was to ask him to help hand it over to her senior brother Boss Gu, and ask him to help. Then, Shopkeeper Gu will be able to deliver the medicine to her in a few days.
Zuihou for a few years, she also laughed at him and asked him, "How can you still come out at such an old age." Just let the kids follow. ”
"It's a blessing to be able to run, and if you can't run one day, it's fine." He smiled and said softly.
Kira knew what he meant, and if he couldn't run one day, it meant that he should die. She thought of Taijun and thought of herself, one day Taijun couldn't run, so she wouldn't run.
In fact, it's not that she really doesn't remember what the shopkeeper Gu looks like, but she has never linked these two people together.
So that time in the Duan family, the first time she heard Gu Ren's voice, she felt familiar, it turned out that she had always known Gu Ren, but she never thought that the shopkeeper Gu was that senior brother. So in this life, she didn't think much about it at all, and felt that she had never seen Gu Ren wholeheartedly. (To be continued......)
