Chapter Twenty-Four: Thousands of Dollars Are Hard to Find
Rong Yuejin is Huo Yurou's own daughter, and Huo Yurou is the concubine of Huo Yuanting, the second son of the Huo family, and her status in the Huo family can be imagined.
Now that Huo Guifei is dead, the only available daughters of the Huo family are Huo Ping and Rong Yuejin.
Who the Huo family plans to marry Rong Yuejin depends on Rong Yuejin's birthday banquet this time.
After Rong Yuejin was punished for copying Buddhist scriptures and grounded last time, she was locked up until the day before the birthday banquet before she was allowed to be released.
And Rong Yunxi found the key medicinal materials for the treatment of cold poison in the past two days.
Cold, poisonous, cold, and warm.
Generally, the medicinal materials used are the more common aconite, dried ginger, cinnamon, cloves, galangal, long pepper, long tomato, dogwood, cumin, etc., but only using these will lead to false fire, and will not achieve the therapeutic effect but will cause other diseases.
It is necessary to neutralize the cold and warm and nourishing herbs, and these three herbs are the key to treating cold poison.
Rong Yunxi's mother left only a few records in the medical book, the warm medicinal material is Dendrobium officinale, also known as black knotweed, born in the dark and damp place of Jiangdong, and the cold medicinal material is Rhodiola, mostly born in Hebei, Hexi and other places.
And the last nourishing medicinal herb is something that Rong Yunxi has only heard of at the end of the rumor, the "Cordyceps" that grows in the sky of Kunlun is an insect in winter and a grass in summer.
These three flavors of medicinal herbs are not things that can be bought with money......
Rong Yunxi closed the medical book, rubbed her eyebrows with a headache for a while, Cuiwei pushed open the door and came in with the cat from outside, and not only frowned when she saw Rong Yunxi's appearance, "Miss, is it a matter of cold poison again?" ”
"Hmm." Rong Yunxi nodded with some difficulty, "There is a record of this in the medical book left by my mother, but the key medicinal materials are not at all something that can be described as hard to find, no wonder Qi Zhan is so rich that he can't cure it." ”
"That's unspeakable, who knows if the Seventh Prince doesn't know how to cure it at all?"
Cui smiled and handed the pure black cat in her arms to Rong Yunxi, "Eldest Miss, Second Miss has been locked in the house since the day of the Lake Tour, should we go over and take a look?" ”
Rong Yunxi remembered the last time she mentioned Rong Yuejin's birthday party, Shui Ling's eyes smiled, and the whole person relaxed, "That's right, I think that the cat has also been circled at home, it's time to go out and take a walk." ”
"Cuiwei, take Tiantian, let's go to Wudehou's Mansion and visit the second sister."
On the way, Rong Yunxi held Tiantian in her arms, and talked to Cuiwei about another thing.
"Jingzhao Mansion investigated the murder case in the capital, how did it go?"
"Jingzhao Mansion is still investigating, but there are no clues at present, and it can only be announced to the public that it is a bandit."
Rong Yunxi sneered lightly, quite disdainful, "The bandit is bold, and he dares to be powerful at the feet of the Son of Heaven." ”
"Miss, you don't have to think about this matter to know that the Huo family is suppressing Jingzhao Mansion, and no matter how honest and honest Jingzhao Mansion Yin is, he can't be investigated."
"I'm afraid that I will be arrested if I go to deal with the palace maid's family that day."
"Oh?" Rong Yunxi's beautiful eyes rolled slightly, "It seems that the one who went to deal with the aftermath that day was still a terrible figure for the Huo family." ”
Cui Wei's eyes nodded a little heavily, "The Huo family can't control Qi Mingshu at all now, and the only eldest son is Huo Yuanhua's second son, Huo Ming." ”
Rong Yunxi pursed her lips and rolled her eyes, "I seem to remember that there is a little master in the Huo family, right?" Is it called Huo Wenshu? ”
Cui Wei was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Hmm...... There is one, but Huo Wenshu is from Huo Yuanting's main room, and he was born seriously ill, and in the Huo family, it is better than nothing. ”
"Huo Ming doesn't know what kind of illness he is committing, he was fascinated by the second lady Rong Yuejin, if there is someone in the Huo family who is willing to do things for Rong Yuejin, Huo Ming is no different."
"It seems that Rong Yuejin is still very important to the Huo family."
Rong Yunxi gently stroked the sweetness on her legs, and her voice was soft like wisps of smoke.
"Wudehou Mansion has arrived."
The subordinate carried a ladder and put it in front of the carriage, and when Rong Yunxi stepped on the ladder to get off the carriage, a cold wind howled, and she couldn't help but pull her cloak.
It's getting colder.
"Cuiwei, when you make clothes for Yun Xiyuan, ask Uncle Yuan Qi over there, and send a winter dress to Uncle Yuan Qi."
Rong Yunxi thought of this stubble, turned his head and commanded Cuiwei.
"Yes, Miss, are you looking for a shop or using a tailor from our National Medical Mansion?"
Rong Yunxi thought for a while, "I'll come by myself." ”
In the space to speak, the two of them had already entered the Wudehou Mansion and went straight to Rong Yuejin's Closed Moon Garden.
"Rong Yunxi came to see me?"
Rong Yuejin was sitting on the couch in the room copying Buddhist scriptures, and when she heard this, she threw the brush in her hand on the ground and glared angrily, "She still has the face to come to see me!" Tell her to get out of here! ”
Lu Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the brush, and scolded the little girl, "Didn't you hear what Second Miss said?" Don't get out of here! ”
"Yes."
The little girl was so frightened that she trembled, and she was about to leave in a hurry, but Huo Yurou's unhurried voice sounded in the room.
"You really kicked her out now, and you don't want to have a relationship with the prince at the birthday party the day after tomorrow."
Rong Yuejin's eyes flushed, "Didn't the prince just fall in love with her as a concubine, and I as a concubine!" ”
"Where am I inferior to her?"
"Just because you're a concubine! You're not as good as her anywhere! ”
Huo Yurou scolded very hard, pushed open the curtain and walked out, her delicate eyebrows were full of anger, "Yuejin, my mother is the most humble person, no matter how talented you are, you have to hold it back for me if you are a concubine." ”
"If Rong Yunxi doesn't die for a day, don't think about coming out for a day."
Rong Yuejin clenched her teeth, and the paper on the table was pinched out of a hole by her sharp Kodan, "But Rong Yunxi has been hiding in the National Medical Mansion, what can I do?" ”
Huo Yurou saw that Rong Yuejin had finally regained her senses, so she walked over to her and sat down with a flat face, "Rong Yunxi is also fifteen years old this year, if a woman always gets married, she can't live in the National Medical Mansion all the time." ”
"Mother, do you mean ......" Rong Yuejin seemed to understand something, and gradually widened her eyes.
"The day after tomorrow, your birthday banquet, the family will come for the sake of your father and the Huo family, and then you have to grasp more than just the prince's timing!"
Huo Yurou patted the back of Rong Yuejin's hand, her face was serious and serious.
"You can't have too stiff a relationship with Rong Yunxi now, otherwise she will be suspicious of you at that time, and things will be difficult to handle."
"Take this opportunity to apologize and let Rong Yunxi's vigilance against you be lowered."
Rong Yuejin felt uncomfortable in her heart, biting her lower lip tightly, and finally sighed lightly as if she compromised, but her words were still full of unwillingness, "Mother, I always feel that Rong Yunxi has lived in the National Medical Mansion for five years, as if she has changed as a person." ”
"No matter how shrewd she becomes, we're going to pull her down!" Huo Yurou clenched Rong Yuejin's hand, her face was tough, "Otherwise, in this Wudehou Mansion, you will be a concubine for life!" ”
"Call Rong Yunxi in!"
Rong Yuejin scolded with disgust, sitting on the couch without a good face at all, Lu Zhu hurriedly went to clean up the paper under her hand.
The little girl hurried to the flower hall, and secretly thanked the big girl for her advice.
Fortunately, I told the eldest lady that the second lady was changing the dressing at the moment, and it was not convenient to see people, so I asked her to wait in the flower hall for a while, otherwise the eldest lady would go in directly, and I was afraid that my life would be gone now.
Rong Yunxi was sitting in the flower hall drinking tea, Cui Wei was holding Tian Tian in her arms, and Tian Tian was squinting her eyes and snoring comfortably.
The little girl came over and apologized, and led Rong Yunxi to the place of Closed Moon Garden, Cuiwei carried a food box in her hand, and handed it to the little girl standing on the side when she went in.
"This is the lotus paste cake given to the second miss by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and asked our eldest lady to bring it to the second miss."
The little girl glanced at Rong Yuejin, who was sitting on the couch and still wearing a veil, and saw that Rong Yuejin nodded, so she took the food box and took it over.
Rong Yuejin had already restrained her temper at this time, and greeted Rong Yunxi with a good smile, "I also bothered my sister to come to see me from the National Medical Mansion, but my sister really didn't want to go." ”
"My sister fell on the day of the Lake Tour, so I should come and see what my sister said." Rong Yunxi sat opposite Rong Yuejin with Tian Tian in her arms, and her words were very kind.
Everyone knows that the relationship between Rong Yunxi and Rong Yuejin is not good, but the superficial work must be done.
"No, on the day of the Lake Tour, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also asked me to bring lotus paste cake to my second sister, and this time, I brought it with me."
As he spoke, Rong Yunxi's gaze fell on the food box, and he said deliberately, "I heard that the second sister likes lotus paste cake the most. ”
How could the prince have given her such a thing? Rong Yunxi is clearly lying.
Rong Yuejin gritted her teeth with secret hatred in her heart, the prince Qi Mingshu specially asked her about Rong Yunxi's preferences in order to get Rong Yunxi, but when did Qi Mingshu pay attention to her preferences?
She was the only one who lied about this matter, how could she turn her face and be shown off by Rong Yunxi on her face!?
But she couldn't say anything more, at most, she was surprised and puzzled, "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince give me lotus paste cake?" ”
Rong Yunxi's white and tender hand stroked Tiantian's body for a while, and replied to her with a gentle face, "I don't know very well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a box of pastries that day, and the people below instructed me to bring it to the second sister. ”
"It's hard for my sister to always think about me."
Rong Yuejin couldn't wait to throw the food box out at this moment, but Ko Dan pinched a red mark in the palm of his hand, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
"Second sister don't taste it? This is a lotus paste cake made by the imperial chef of the prince's mansion. ”
"Since my sister said so......"
Rong Yuejin was also inconvenient to refuse, opened the food box and was about to take out a piece to taste, Huo Yurou, who had been sitting on the side and had not spoken, suddenly scolded her with an angry face, "It's not a formality!" The eldest lady didn't move, where is your turn?! ”
"I'm ......!"
Rong Yuejin almost didn't crush the lotus paste cake directly, but when she saw Huo Yurou's gloomy face, she understood something in an instant, and hurriedly closed her eyes, "Xiao Niang is right, this pastry, naturally my sister and sister can move first." ”
The corners of Rong Yunxi's lips hooked slightly, and she took the lotus paste cake with great confidence, and took a bite of it.
Huo Yurou and Rong Yuejin stared at Rong Yunxi's reaction, she was fine.
