Chapter 243: Medicine

Wait, did I buy the medicine I asked you to buy?

Hearing this sentence from his own young lady, Wang Xiaoer, who was already walking at the door, couldn't help but pause, and his face turned slightly pale.

"Why, but forgot?"

Li Shu put down the brush in her hand and glanced at Wang Xiaoer standing at the door with her dark eyes.

"No, no, the small one has already been bought.

Li Shu glanced at it casually, but it made a few drops of cold sweat break out on Wang Xiaoer's forehead at the door, his own young lady's methods, others don't know, but he knows.

It's just that the eldest lady let herself buy the medicine, but it is not an ordinary medicine, the reason why Wang Xiaoer came back later is also because this medicine is not easy to buy, especially the best medicine with no side effects on the body, and it took a lot of money to buy it from a former palace maid's house released from the palace, this palace maid served a concubine before being released, and the prescription was obtained when she was in front of this concubine.

This kind of medicine can only be believed in when it is circulated in the palace, after all, it has been tested by the harem.

It's just that although this medicine has no side effects, it is blind after all, so Wang Xiaoer did not take the initiative to give it away.

"Did you make that clear?" Li Shu asked.

"Asked clearly, there were no side effects." Wang Xiaoer replied with his head down.

"Then leave it to Mother Zhao." Li Shu turned the cold jade bracelet on her wrist and instructed Wang Xiaoer lightly.

"Well, you go down, remember to do more and talk less."

After watching Wang Xiaoer hand a delicate small porcelain vase to Mother Hua, Li Shu said something meaningfully and sent Wang Xiaoer out.

"Miss, what kind of medicine is this?"

Zhao's mother is the old man of the Li family, and she was in the Li family before Li Shu was born, but because she is a subordinate and a woman, Zhao's mother has never had the opportunity to read and write, and she still does not know a big character, although this porcelain bottle has the name of medicine. But Zhao's mother didn't know what kind of medicine she had in her hand. After handing over the porcelain vase to Li Shu, Zhao's mother asked curiously.

It is a delicate small blue and white porcelain vase with a red ribbon tied to it with the name of the medicine. However, because of the angle, only one word "absolute" on the ribbon could be seen, and the rest of the words were held in the palm of Li Shu's slender jade hand, and it was not clear to see.

Li Shu played with the porcelain bottle in her hand, and the corners of her mouth hooked when she heard the words. "Peerless medicine, gurgle, these doctors have a pretty big breath."

"After dinner, let the kitchen boil a pot of herbs for the prevention and control of wind and cold that my father brought back, and distribute it to everyone in the house to drink, oh, by the way, for the girl in my room, send it directly to the courtyard for me."

Li Shu casually put the delicate blue and white porcelain vase in her hand on the table and instructed Zhao's mother.

"Miss is really a living bodhisattva, with this medicine. We don't have to worry about the wind and cold anymore this winter, and the people in the hospital who have a runny nose and a headache have thanked Miss, Miss is really kind-hearted. ”

When Zhao's mother heard this, her face was full of joy, the medicine brought back by the master was bought at a large price, and the effect was very good. After drinking the medicine and sweating, the illness was cured. Now I heard that Miss said that she should boil the medicine for the prevention and treatment of wind and cold and share it for everyone to drink, so Zhao's mother is so happy.

"Alright. Go down, you are all heroes of our Li family, you are good for our Li family. Li Shu waved her hand and smiled, as if she was very interested in Zhao's mother's sycophancy.

Zhao's mother happily retreated as if she had drunk two or two small wines. I can't wait to share this good news with everyone in the Li Mansion.

Then, the Li family was grateful to Li Shu.

After Zhao's mother left, Li Shu played with the delicate blue and white porcelain vase again, then untied the red ribbon with the name of the medicine tied on the small porcelain vase, walked to a brazier, and threw the red ribbon into the brazier.

The red ribbon fluttered into the fire, rolled up in the fire, and then ignited a cluster of green flames.

On the burning ribbon, you can faintly see the word "son", maybe the word "good" was burned first, and the "female" may be next to it, but it will be ashes in an instant, and it is impossible to explore what the word is.

Li Shu stood quietly in front of the brazier, watching the red ribbon burn to ashes, and then sat down at the table with her little hands on her back.

Not long after, the little girl with the bun came up with a food box in her hand.

"Miss, this tofu crucian carp soup is fragrant." The little girl with the bun put the food in the food box on the table and offered her courtesy to her young lady.

"Smelly? Did you steal it? Li Shu walked up to the little girl with the bun, stretched out her slender hand and scratched the tip of the little girl's nose, hooking her lips and joking.

"No, no, the painting was not stolen." When the little girl heard this, she shook her head busily.

"Oh, how do you know that the soup is fragrant if you haven't eaten it secretly?" Li Shu hooked her lips and asked again.

"Huh?" The little girl with the bun wrinkled her face and thought about it, and then suddenly said, "Miss, you can smell it." ”

"Just then did I think about it, you are so stupid." Li Shu knocked on the head of the little girl with steamed buns, and then said compassionately, "Eating fish can make people smart, I can't drink such a big crucian carp soup, you can take a small bowl to make up for it." ”

"Miss, I'm not stupid." The little girl with a bun covered her head and puffed up her face with grievances.

After dinner, the whole Li Mansion was filled with a smell of traditional Chinese medicine, but every subordinate of the Li Mansion was full of gratitude to drink the bowl of Chinese herbal medicine for the prevention and treatment of wind and cold distributed to each person in the back kitchen, and even the bottom of the bowl was sipped.

There are also five medicine bowls in the boudoir of the eldest lady of the Li family, which are steaming.

Li Shu's personal big maid, the bun, the little maid and the other three personal little maids are also in Li Shu's boudoir.

"The weather is cold, the yin qi is too heavy, and it is most likely to suffer from wind cold. This is the thickest bowl I let the kitchen deliberately leave, the most to dissipate the wind and cold, and to promote lung qi. You are all waiting by my side, young lady, go and drink the medicine, lest you get sick from the wind and cold. ”

Li Shu leaned on the embroidery bed, wearing a purple nightdress, her hair hung down on both sides, she had gone to the hairpin before going to bed, and she was naturally decorated, her innocent and pretty face was wearing a kind smile, and her watery eyes narrowed slightly.

"Thank you, miss."

A few little maids thanked Li Shu happily, just now the whole courtyard was drinking Chinese medicine to prevent and treat wind and cold, but there was no them, and I thought I had forgotten them, it turned out that the young lady had been thinking about them, and left them the best bowls of Chinese medicine. Miss is so good, a few little maids are full of gratitude to Li Shu.

So moved, a few little maids drank the Chinese medicine while it was hot.

Li Shu looked at the few little maids who were about to drink up, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the little maid with buns, "Painting, bring me the last bowl, and drink it when I finish reading this volume." ”

The little girl with the bun obediently brought the last bowl of soup to Li Shu and put it on the bedside table.

"Well, you all go down, I don't have to wait. After drinking this medicine, it is best to sweat in bed. ”

Li Shu waved her hand and asked a few little maids to go back to their rooms.

After the little maids left, Li Shu got out of bed and poured a bowl of soup and medicine on the table into the potted plants in the room, and then went to bed as if nothing had happened.

The scroll in Li Shu's hand is "The Biography of Cao Cao", and the volume I read is the section where Cao Cao accidentally killed Lu Bohao, and the last sentence of this page is Cao Cao's famous sentence, Rather teach me to bear the world, and Hugh let the world bear me.

"Bear the world and live up to the king, but I hope that the king's heart is like my heart."

Li Shu put down "The Biography of Cao Cao", opened a book of "Jiangchengzi" with someone's dragon and phoenix dance, and read it several times before turning off the lights and falling asleep. (To be continued.) )
