Chapter 53: The Medicine Building
"Say it! Where is the treasure? Zhao Susu asked while whipping.
The man just kept screaming, but didn't answer any of her questions.
Until Zhao Susu's strength was exhausted, she couldn't get the answer she wanted, and in the end she could only return in vain.
After Zhao Lingshu returned to the room, he was still confused, but after the maid closed the door and went out, he immediately became sober.
"Qing'er, from today onwards, you will go and watch your aunt, and she will report to me every move." Zhao Lingshu said to Qing'er beside him.
Qing'er looked at her young lady's serious expression and nodded seriously.
Ten days later, Zhao Lingshu was summoned by the palace again, but this time it was not Cui Guifei's summons, but Xiao Qiyun's invitation.
Zhao Lingshu followed the palace maid who led the way to the pear orchard behind the imperial garden.
As soon as he walked into the pear orchard, Zhao Lingshu found that there was already a little girl swinging under a pear tree in the pear orchard, with an innocent and romantic expression and a pure and moving smile.
Suddenly, a palace maid walked to the pillar on the side, pulled out a boy, and pushed him to the ground: "Where did the wild child come from, he still dares to come and peek!" Don't look at who you are! ”
It turned out that the little boy had been secretly watching the little girl not far away, and was discovered by the palace maid. When the palace maid saw that he was wearing the clothes of a scholar, she decided that he was a servant of some family, and hid here to spy on the young lady of the family.
The little boy was pushed to the ground and immediately sat down on the ground and began to cry.
The little girl who was swinging saw it, got off the swing, walked over and pulled the little boy up, and said to the palace maid, "Why are you pushing him?" ”
"Miss, this kind of peeking person can't just let it go." The palace maid looked right.
When the little girl saw this, she turned to the little boy and said, "Ignore her, get up from the ground quickly." As he spoke, he pulled the little boy up.
The girl took a red pendant from her neck and gave him a red pendant: "No, this is for you." If anyone bullies you again in the future, you let her watch this. However, you should stop peeking at people in the future. ”
This scene was too familiar, and Zhao Lingqi only felt that something was wrong.
When she saw the little girl take off the red pendant, Zhao Lingshu heard footsteps behind her, and she could only immediately adjust her emotions and turn around.
Xiao Qiyun behind him originally thought that Zhao Lingshu would be touched, but when she saw that she turned around, she didn't react, and the expression on her face was a little disappointed.
But he immediately changed his emotions and instructed the palace maid beside him: "Go to my palace and bring that white jade chessboard." It's good to go, I want your head to be broken. ”
The palace maid hurried to get it. When they came back, Xiao Qiyun and Zhao Lingshu were already sitting face to face on the stool next to the stone table.
The palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to open the box and set up the chessboard and chess pieces.
"Miss Zhao, please." Xiao Qiyun pointed to the chessboard on the table and said to Zhao Lingshu.
Xiao Qiyun and Zhao Lingshu each held black and white and played several games of chess.
The two of them go back and forth on the chessboard, there are losses and wins, the chess game is changing rapidly, and the expressions of the two are constantly changing, frowning tightly one second, and relaxing because they won one second.
After a few chess games, Xiao Qiyun was very surprised by Zhao Lingshu's chess skills, and had completely changed his previous prejudice against her, not only that, but also thought that she was a noble lady with excellent talents.
"Agreed, Fifth Highness." In Xiao Qiyun's eyes, Zhao Lingshu had already put down the last chess piece.
Xiao Qiyun came back to his senses, looked at the chess game that he had lost, and was surprised and admired: "Miss Zhao, admire and admire." ”
Zhao Lingshu just smiled slightly. After playing chess, Zhao Lingshu left the palace directly.
The carriage of the Zhao family had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, and Zhao Lingshu took the maid's hand to board the carriage.
Not long after walking, Zhao Lingshu heard a commotion outside the carriage.
Zhao Lingshu lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, only to see a man in black running on the road, and behind him were countless officers and soldiers chasing him.
Seeing Zhao Lingshu lifting the curtain, the man in black jumped forward, boarded the carriage, got into the car, picked up the knife and put it on Zhao Lingshu's neck, and said in a suppressed voice: "Don't move, the sword doesn't blink." ”
Seeing that Zhao Lingshu was not struggling, the man in black loosened his grip on the knife slightly: "I don't want to hurt you." It's just that the situation is compelling, and I ask the girl to forgive me. ”
Zhao Lingshu looked at this person and felt that he was not a murderous person, so he wanted to save him.
"You can't get out like that." Zhao Lingshu said to the man in black who was constantly checking the situation outside the car.
"So what?" The man in black didn't really want to deal with Zhao Lingshu, he was thinking repeatedly about how to solve the situation in front of him.
"I can help you." Zhao Lingshu said.
"Oh?" The man in black finally became interested in Zhao Lingshu's words, and turned his head to look at her with a smile.
"I'm the concubine of the Patriotic Family. You can take me hostage. When you can escape, let me go. Zhao Lingshu said seriously.
"Then the girl is wronged." The black-clothed man weighed for a moment, but still approved Zhao Lingshu's proposal.
The man in black pushed Zhao Lingshu out of the carriage, and the knife was on Zhao Lingshu's neck: "Look clearly, this is the concubine of the Weiguo family." If you don't want her to die, lay down your weapons and don't keep catching up. ”
The head of the officers and soldiers looked at the kidnapped Zhao Lingshu and said to the officers and soldiers behind him: "Put down your weapons." ”
Someone behind him wanted to refute, but the officer and soldier swept over with a cold eye: "I said, put down your weapons." ”
That Zhao Lingshu is the daughter of the Weiguo family, the eldest lady of the family in the capital, and her identity is so noble. Which prince marries her, it is half a dragon chair. If he injured her this time, although he caught the assassin and made meritorious contributions, who would let him go? There are still old and young in his family, but he doesn't want to lose his job and life because of this.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers did not continue to catch up, the man in black took Zhao Lingshu and slowly walked towards the direction of the city gate.
Out of the city gate, the man in black took out a free hand, took out something from his body, and gave it to Zhao Lingshu: "I was able to escape this time thanks to Miss Zhao." It's just that I don't want to owe everyone a favor, so I gave this thing to Miss Zhao, and it was taken as a thank you gift from me to Miss Zhao. The man in black said, handing Zhao Lingshu a token. After that, he pushed Zhao Lingshu away, turned around and ran quickly out of the city.
After the man in black left, Zhao Lingshu looked down at the token handed to her by the man in black, and only the two big words "Yaolou" were written on the token.
"It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." Zhao Lingshu happily weighed the token in his hand, "Now I can go into the medicine building to find the landlord." ”
That night, Zhao Lingshu went to the Flower Pavilion again.
The man in red was still sitting in the curtain, and when he saw Zhao Lingshu, he thought that she was going to ask to go in with a dead face, so he said with a cold face: "This young lady, the pharmacy has the rules of the pharmacy. If you don't have a token, I won't let you in. Miss, please go back. ”
"Who said I don't have a token?" Zhao Lingshu smiled proudly, directly showed the token, and put it in front of the man in red.
The man in red saw the token in Zhao Lingshu's hand, and his expression became very surprised. He thought that this token was imitated by Zhao Lingshu in order to enter the medicine building to find someone, but after careful inspection, the token had a unique logo belonging to the medicine building, which must be true.
"Take Miss Zhao in." Now that Zhao Lingshu has a token, the man in red can't refuse, otherwise he will break the rules. He could only let one of the guards take Zhao Lingshu in.
"Go find out what's going on with this token, and don't miss the clues." After Zhao Lingshu and the guards left, the man in red immediately ordered his men.
After Zhao Lingshu entered the medicine building, he had a smug expression of "the token is in hand, I have it in the world".
The guard took Zhao Lingshu to the entrance of the medicine building, Zhao Lingshu showed the token to the guard guarding the medicine building, the guard who led the way also nodded, and the guard guarding the medicine building opened the door and let Zhao Lingshu enter the first floor of the medicine building.
The first floor of the medicine building is full of the lowest grade herbs in the medicine building, but for ordinary people in the world, these are rare treasures with a lot of price, and getting the same is the treasure of the town.
Zhao Lingshu paced, reading all the herbs in the first layer one by one, and finally stopped in front of a recipe placed in the corner.
"I have a crush on this. I'm going to buy it, how much silver? Zhao Lingshu looked like he was wealthy.
The guard just smiled slightly: "Miss Zhao, although you have a token, you can see and buy all the herbs on the first floor, but only this recipe, you can only watch, we don't do this business." ”
Hearing the guards say this rule, Zhao Lingshu guessed that there must be a reason, and he didn't want to embarrass him.
The manager on the first floor of the medicine building took the initiative to come over and say to Zhao Lingshu: "As long as you can dispense the medicine on the list, all the medicines on the first floor can be taken by you without any charge." ”
When Zhao Lingshu heard this, he lowered his head and quickly memorized all the medicinal materials on the medicine list, then put the medicine list back in its place, and then left the medicine building.
Watching Zhao Lingshu leave, the man in red suddenly appeared on the first floor of the medicine building from nowhere, and he walked to the manager on the first floor: "Put away that medicine slip and don't show it to others." Moreover, abolish the rule you just told Zhao Lingshu. ”
After hearing this, the steward on the first floor frowned in embarrassment: "But the landlord, in this way, our medicine building will be discredited." ”
Yao Wuwu heard the words of the first layer of stewards, stood in place and thought about it, and then said, "Abolish it, that rule is useless." But since I promised Zhao Lingshu, let's continue to use her. Then Yao Wuwu left the first floor of the medicine building directly.
The first floor manager looked at the back of Yao Wuwu leaving, thought for a long time, and finally understood the meaning of Yao Wuwu.
"Put away the prescription that Zhao Lingshu just saw, and the rule I told Zhao Lingshu will be abolished in the future." The steward of the first floor called a guard and gave him instructions, and asked him to pass them on layer by layer.
After Zhao Lingshu went back, he immediately took out paper and pen and wrote all the medicinal materials on the medicine list on the paper. After writing the name of the medicine, Zhao Lingshu found that the dosage of each medicine was not written on the medicine list at all, how can this be dispensed?
Zhao Lingshu thought about it, went directly to the study and found all the medical books, and moved them to the room one by one.
For the next month, she studied medical books every day in addition to eating and sleeping. The invitation of others summons her, whether it is Cui Guifei or Xiao Qiyun. I really can't push it off, so I will come back early to continue my research.
In order to test the efficacy, Zhao Lingshu also asked Yahuan to buy the medicinal materials back and personally boil the medicine to test the medicine to feel the effect.
