Chapter 54: The Second Floor
"Miss, what are you buying so many medicines for?" Qing'er looked at the various medicinal materials she bought back and asked puzzled. I don't know when it began, my own lady soaked in the pile of medicinal herbs every day, either to see medical skills, or to boil medicine. Their Lingshu Pavilion was originally full of flowers, but now they can smell the smell of herbs within a radius of several miles.
"I am teaching myself medical skills, and in the future, I will help the world and save the world." Zhao Lingshu said half-seriously and half-jokingly while checking the medicinal materials that Qing'er had just bought.
After a month like this, Zhao Lingshu finally changed from a novice doctor to a successful medical practitioner, and finally tried the dosage of each medicine on the medicine list.
As the night grew dark, Zhao Lingshu stretched out in front of his desk. It's been a hard time.
Zhao Lingshu copied the dosage of the tried medicine onto the paper, put on his cloak and went to the medicine building again.
When he arrived at the medicine building, Zhao Lingshu went directly to the first floor and handed a piece of paper with the name and dosage of the medicine to the manager on the first floor.
The manager on the first floor of the medicine building was shocked when he saw Zhao Lingshu coming. He took the paper handed by Zhao Lingshu, glanced at what was written on the paper, and his hands trembled.
"Miss Zhao, you wait here for a while, and I'll come when I go." The steward on the first floor hurriedly took this piece of paper to find the main medicine building in the pharmacy building, and as soon as he saw the medicine without worry, the steward on the first floor eagerly showed it to him.
Yao Wuwu glanced at the formula and asked, "Is it made by Zhao Lingshu?" ”
"Yes." The steward replied.
After reading it carefully, he returned the paper to the first layer of steward, nodded without speaking, and then left to go elsewhere.
The first layer of stewards thought about it and figured out the meaning of worry-free medicine.
"The landlord doesn't speak every time, let me guess for myself. It's good that I guessed correctly, but what if I guessed wrong? The steward of the first floor scratched his head while thinking, and suddenly thought of the medicine worry-free just now and nodded, so he patted his head and walked out to speak: "In the future, all the herbs on the first floor Zhao Lingshu will take it." ”
After hearing this, the others on the first floor looked at each other, although they were surprised, but no one dared to refute.
After the first-floor steward told Zhao Lingshu the news, Zhao Lingshu knew that he had successfully dispensed the medicine.
"Sure enough, the hard work of these days has not been in vain." Zhao Lingshu encouraged himself.
Zhao Lingshu looked up at the entire Medicine Pavilion, there were many floors upstairs that she hadn't been to. Now that he has conquered the first layer, she also has to see the remaining layers.
"This steward, I want to go to the second floor to have a look, can you lead the way?" Zhao Lingshu asked the first layer of stewardship.
"It's not impossible if you want to go to the second floor. It's just that there are rules in our pharmacy building, you must identify all the herbs on the first floor, and you are eligible to go to the second floor. The steward touched the beard on his chin and said. Although it is indeed remarkable to be able to dispense that medicine list in a month, it is still difficult for a novice who has only been studying medicine on his own for a month to identify all the herbs in a layer.
But Zhao Lingshu relied on his own research for a month, and then dared to ask to start knowing medicine. The first-floor steward saw that he looked like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and secretly laughed at it.
But when the first-level steward took out a medicine, Zhao Lingshu could tell its name and medicinal properties.
The first layer of stewards secretly admired and threw away their prejudice against her at the beginning. Yao Wuwu kept paying attention to her in the dark, and when he saw that she answered fluently, he nodded again and again.
When the steward of the first layer took out the last medicinal herb in the first layer, Zhao Lingshu didn't know this medicinal herb. Zhao Lingshu looked at this flavored medicine, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he couldn't remember his name and medicinal properties.
After a long time, Zhao Lingshu said to the first-floor steward: "I don't know this medicine. I give up. In this case, I lost, so I will go back and read more medical books, and I will tell you the medicinal properties and name of this medicine in ten days. ”
After speaking, Zhao Lingshu left the medicine pavilion and went back to the house directly. Leaving a layer of stewards to admire, half appreciative and half pity. Seeing this, the medicine in the dark was worry-free, and he also appreciated Zhao Lingshu's understanding more.
In fact, the last herb is a new addition to the medicine, this medicine is an unpopular herb, and many medical books have not included it. Not to mention that Zhao Lingshu, who has only been studying for a month, does not know, even many doctors who have studied all their lives may not know each other.
In order to be able to fulfill his promise after ten days, Zhao Lingshu got up before dawn the next day. After a brief breakfast, she went back to her room and picked up the medical book and read it carefully
But she flipped through the medical books several times, and still couldn't find the herb.
Zhao Lingshu put down the medical books, thinking that his family's medical secretary was incomplete, so he hurriedly asked Qing'er to call someone out to buy all the medical books he could buy home.
After the medical books were bought, Zhao Lingshu still didn't find the medicine. So she guessed that the medicine might not be well known, and that it might be a precious herb.
After making up his mind, Zhao Lingshu put on his cloak and went out. She was going to take the sample of the herb and look for some of the countrymen to see if they had any eyebrows. Like those who go up to the mountains every day to collect medicine, they may have a wider knowledge than in medical books.
However, after seeing the sketches of herbs, most of them said that they had never seen this herb.
"Well, I've never seen this herb before."
"I've been picking medicine on this mountain all my life, and I've seen all kinds of herbs, but I've never seen anything like this."
After asking Lang Zhong many times, he didn't find an answer, Zhao Lingshu was very discouraged and was about to give up. At this time, a man came over and asked, "Can the girl borrow the old decay to take a look?" Old decay has lived a lifetime, and nothing else. I still know some herbs. ”
Zhao Lingshu knew that what he said was probably the same as a sweeping monk, so he hurriedly handed over the sketch of the herbs.
Who knew that this Lang Zhong was shocked when he saw this herb.
"This, this is a bloody sorrow."
It turns out that this herb is a special local herb in the village of this Langzhong, which is called blood sorrow by the people in their village, and has a miraculous effect on stopping bleeding, and is regarded as a miracle medicine by the locals.
After knowing the name of the herb, Zhao Lingshu was very excited. She followed Lang Zhong to understand the medicinal effect of seeing blood sorrow, and then went to check some more partial ancient books, kung fu is not afraid of people with a heart, and after constantly reading, she finally learned that this herb is called Dijin grass in one of the ancient books.
Zhao Lingshu hurriedly took out a piece of rice paper and carefully drew the appearance of the ground brocade grass on it, and marked its scientific name, common name, medicinal properties and method of medicine on the side.
After doing all this, it was not yet dark, and Zhao Lingshu immediately rushed to the medicine building with the piece of paper.
But this time, the steward of the first floor was not there, only Yao Wuwu sat in the curtain as usual.
When Zhao Lingshu made a promise of a ten-day deadline, he thought that Zhao Lingshu was giving himself a step. Because that flavor medicine is really hard to find, it took him a lot of time to find this flavor medicine in the first place, not to mention Zhao Lingshu.
Seeing that Zhao Lingshu came to the Medicine Pavilion again, but the ten-day deadline had not yet arrived, Yao Wuwu thought that Zhao Lingshu was here to admit defeat: "Miss Zhao, the ten-day deadline has not yet arrived, are you in such a hurry to admit defeat?" It's better to wait for the deadline and automatically admit defeat, why lose face now? ”
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Lingshu directly gave him the piece of paper.
Yao Wuwu took the paper given to him by Zhao Lingshu, looked at the contents of the paper in shock, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"This is my agreement with the steward on the first floor, Your Excellency is just a gatekeeper who guards the Flower Pavilion, and you can't be the master, so hurry up and invite the steward of the first floor out and take me to the second floor." Zhao Lingshu looked at Yao Wuwu with a smile, and his heart was full of satisfaction.
Yao Wuwu listened to it but ignored her, just lowered his head and kept looking at the contents of the paper intently. After being silent for a long time, Yao Wuwu directly called an attendant: "You take Miss Zhao to the second floor of the medicine building." ”
Zhao Lingshu looked at Yao Wuwu suspiciously: "Isn't he a janitor?" How does it seem to be greater than the power of the first level of stewardship? Who the hell is he? ”
didn't have time to think about it, Zhao Lingshu followed the guard to the second floor.
As soon as he entered the second floor, Zhao Lingshu saw countless precious herbs, more and rarer than the first floor. And unlike the dried herbs on the first floor, each herb on the second floor is placed on its own in a piece of soil to grow, in other words, each of them is alive.
The attendant who led the way took Zhao Lingshu to the second floor and quietly retreated.
Zhao Lingshu walked around on the second floor alone, and no one came to tell her any rules, so she was happy. Walking and walking, Zhao Lingshu suddenly saw a king who did not stay.
This king does not leave a row with five lobes at the apex, and the petals are five, which are pale red. Zhao Lingshu sighed and admired: "This second layer is more powerful than the first layer." ”
Zhao Lingshu went to observe several other herbs and carefully memorized their appearance and shape in his mind. followed Zhao Lingshu to the second floor, and Yao Wuwu sat in the attic in the dark, watching Zhao Lingshu's every move while drinking tea.
Zhao Lingshu came to a purple herb again, felt that this herb was very peculiar, and did not know its name and medicinal effect, so he had to observe it for a long time and write down the appearance of this plant in his heart, and then left the medicine pavilion.
After going back, Zhao Lingshu rummaged through the medical book again, looking for the purple plant. However, like the previous bloody sorrow, there was no information about this herb in the medical book.
"Let's go to those village doctors tomorrow and ask them." After making up her mind, Zhao Lingshu closed the medical book, asked Qing'er to freshen her wide clothes, and fell asleep contentedly.
Xiao Qisheng gets together with An Zhilian all day these days, either drinking and having fun, or riding horses and archery, and two people who are also hangy and unprofessional meet together, just like a gathering of gentlemen.
"Zhilian, dry this wine!" Xiao Qisheng raised his wine glass and said loudly to An Zhilian, who was already drunk on the table in front of him.
"I don't drink it, I don't drink it, I can't drink it." An Zhilian, who was lying on the table, waved his hand, his face flushed.
The singer who was playing music on the side put down her musical instrument and gathered around Xiao Qisheng and An Zhilian, loudly teasing An Zhilian's lack of alcohol.
Outside the window, a black shadow flashed and came to Cui Guifei's bedroom, bringing the news of An Zhilian and Xiao Qisheng drinking and having fun day and night to the ears of the queen and Cui Guifei.
"The two wanderers, the sons of the gentlemen, are really hopeless, and they were born in the royal family in vain."
The queen and Cui Guifei laughed at An Zhilian and Xiao Qisheng respectively in their bedrooms. Since then, both the queen and Cui Guifei believe that Xiao Qisheng poses no threat to them, and gradually relax their vigilance and no longer send people to spy on Xiao Qisheng.
Seeing that the eyeliner around his palace finally disappeared, Xiao Qisheng slowly relaxed and began to arrange his own troops.
Xiao Qisheng suddenly thought that since the Qin Xianglou incident, he had not seen Zhao Lingshu for more than a month, nor had he heard from Zhao Lingshu.
