Chapter 188: Ten Years of Strangeness
Now it is the wax moon, the sky is naturally cold like a day, the people in this county have long changed into thick cotton jackets, and the three girls in the county government are no exception, all of them are moon white silk jackets. Since this was the first time Zhang Yue had spent the New Year outside, Lingxi had to send someone to do some New Year's goods, and he was so busy all day long that his feet did not touch the ground, and the things in the house were all autumn marks and amber to clean up. On this day, Zhang Yue went out with someone, and Amber opened the sewing kit, preparing to sew the skirt that burst into a small hole in the spark a few days ago.
"Amber, no, it's snowing!"
Seeing Autumn Scar rushing in like a gust of wind, Amber couldn't help but be stunned, the sewing kit and skirt in her hand were snatched away, and she was involuntarily pulled outside. From the burning house to the cold ground, she sneezed several times in a row, and then saw snowflakes falling in the sky, and a thin layer had been laid on the ground.
"Isn't it all about Ruixue Zhaofeng Year, what is it bad for?"
Seeing Amber's puzzled face, Qiu Zhen couldn't help but be angry, and said like a cannon: "It's not easy to walk on this snowy day, not to mention that the young master hasn't come back yet." He was in such a hurry this morning, the young master was just wearing a cloak of red gorilla felt, and he didn't let him wear the new Shi Qinggu velvet robe before he came, and he didn't wear a snow hat! I heard that it takes two hours to get to Qingzhou here, and it's fine if the carriage comes back, but if it's a horse......
"Sister, are you still a young master a child? He naturally knows how to count the cold and hot days this day, and he will never be okay to toss his body! Amber was funny at first, but when she found that Qiu Scar was chattering about her concern, she was envious of her wholeheartedly on Zhang Yue, and then comforted, "Sister, rest assured." The young master mentioned that this visit to Lord Qincha may not be back on the same day, maybe he will stay in Qingzhou Mansion for a few days, and Uncle Peng is also a measured person, and he will not let him brave the snow to hurry. ”
Qiu Zhendeng's face darkened, and he sighed sullenly, thinking that it was better for Zhang Yue to come back in the snow right now, but Xuan even drove this stupid idea out of his mind. Looking up at the still gloomy sky. She couldn't help but fold her palms together and prayed silently, hoping that this day would be clear soon, as if Zhang Yue would be able to come back sooner.
A cold wind hit, Amber, who was originally just wearing a close-fitting jacket, suddenly shivered again, and saw that Autumn Scar was still there looking at the sky in a daze, so she had to go back to the house, put on a thick coat herself, and took out another one to wrap Autumn Scar. Then the dead dragged the man in. Before she could lift the teapot on the stove and pour a cup of tea for Qiu Zhen, a woman's shouting came from outside.
"Is Amber Girl there?"
Amber hurriedly opened the curtain and went out, and saw that it was the daughter-in-law of the Cui family wearing a royal blue coat and a gray apron on her head, so she hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Sister-in-law Cui has something to look for me?" ”
The Cui family still has water beads on their hands. Just wiped it on his apron, and said with a smile because he handed over a piece of paper, "I just remembered that Miss Lingxi confessed that I asked the Xiaonan Yam Shop in the east of the city to give the young master a dose of ointment." I also bought authentic Dong'e Ejiao for a few of us, saying that I would take someone to pick it up when I went back. It was cloudy and snowy, and my legs and feet were a little unfavorable, but early in the morning, Miss Lingxi took a few people out to buy things from a few southern stores, and even Sister Li followed, and the rest either went to the restaurant to book a table, or went to make up for some charcoal and satin and other guys. How about Amber Girl take an errand over there to get the medicine? ”
The big girls in the mansion are all out of the door, and the two doors are not out. But since it came out, the first one to break this rule was Lingxi, so there was no restraint on others. After Amber asked, she learned that her family's capable manpower had indeed been sent, and she was afraid of making a mistake just by sending an errand officer, so she agreed, went back to the room and changed her clothes, and immediately asked the Cui family to go out and give an order. Soon the car and the people who followed the car were arranged.
Xiaonan Yam Shop is a well-known pharmacy in the east of the city. This Ejiao was also sent directly from Dong'e, but the family is well-off. This is the favorite use of female dependents to replenish blood and nourish qi or to lose their bodies. And every cold day, there are a lot of plastering places here, most of which are large households in local townships.
In the evening, seeing that it was getting dark, the shopkeeper was about to close the door, but suddenly two guests came to scratch the medicine. It seems that everyone is wearing a half-old gray-brown cotton jacket, and he wanted to push it, but the person made a move not for a treasure note of one price that day, but for a piece of silver. Although the court has banned gold and silver trading in recent years, the people still recognize gold and silver the most, so his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take the prescription, and repeatedly instructed the men to catch the medicine according to the prescription.
"Shopkeeper, we are from Anqiu County, and we are here to get the ointment and ejiao made a few days ago!"
At first glance, when he heard the loud voice outside, the shopkeeper who was busy with his work hurriedly followed the prestige, and saw that the head was a yamen officer wearing a number robe, followed by a young woman wearing a hood, and he couldn't help but be intrigued. As he stepped forward, he took a closer look, and saw that the woman was wearing a moon-white silk jacket, a light blue silk skirt underneath, and a begonia pattern skein bracelet on her hand, and he couldn't help but gasp. This hand is wearing a gold bracelet, and it is from the county government, could it be the family of the new county master?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly accompanied the courteous smiling face, and hurriedly said: "This girl and the poor master will wait for the time being, this ointment has already been boiled, and Ejiao has just arrived this afternoon, and the small one will be picked up immediately!" Ah Sheng, Ah Qiang, hurry up and put down the work at hand, go inside and take out the ejiao, and the two jars I asked you to concoct a few days ago, take them together! ”
The two guys also heard the sentence of the county government just now, and no one dared to slack off, so they put down the half-grabbed medicine and ran inside. At this time, the two guests did not follow, and one of them slapped the counter and shouted angrily: "How do you do business, there is always a first come, first come, first come, this yamen wants tonic, but we have to grab the medicine and go back to treat people's injuries, do you understand the rules!" ”
As soon as he heard this, the officer who accompanied him was immediately furious. These days, he has been cleaned up by Xinzhi County, and he doesn't dare to be overly domineering outside, but this time he came with the big girl next to the county master, maybe it is the future aunt who is right, how can he let a shabby dressed muddy leg be collided?
At the moment, he didn't ask about three-seven-twenty-one. He walked forward and looked at it quickly, then sneered: "Scratch medicine? Who in your family was hurt, and why? Is it a fight, a quarrel, or a fight, or simply a killing? actually said irresponsible remarks to the people in the county office, you are so bold......"
"Brother Xu, don't worry about the slightest little thing!" Seeing that the servant was becoming more and more fierce, Amber had no choice but to interject helplessly, "We're just here to get something, and we won't worry about it at half a night in the evening." Since people are here to scratch the medicine, you can let it go! Shopkeeper's. Grab the medicine for the two big brothers first, let's wait. ”
Her hood was worn low, and the shopkeeper could only see the color decoration of the clothes, but he couldn't see his head and face. As soon as the people had spoken, he smiled at the errand who was still angry, and hurriedly sent two men to grab the medicine. He brought a chair and asked Amber to sit down.
Although Amber played a round, one of the guests who grabbed the medicine wanted to say more, but the other grabbed it with one hand, and had to shut up with hatred, but the fierce eyes still wandered around the officer. Occasionally, he glanced at Amber twice. When he saw the shopkeeper graciously holding tea and giving it to Amber, he immediately muttered in a low voice: "I know that I am in charge of the government!" ”
At this time, the snow in the sky is getting heavier, and the road is getting colder and colder because it is dark. Just when the two sides were still stopping, the guy who grabbed the medicine suddenly let out a startled sigh, and then raised his head and asked in surprise: "Two guest officers, the amount of this prescription seems to be wrong, it looks like wound medicine, but a few of the medicines seem to be too much, if this is not done well, it will kill people!" ”
The shopkeeper was also shocked when he heard of the man's life, and hurried forward to snatch the prescription from the man's hand. When he looked down, he read: "Angelica two coins, salvia three coins, safflower three coins, frankincense two coins, ......"
Amber couldn't help but wonder when she saw that the two guests who were grabbing the medicine had a blue face. Since this is a scratch medicine, it is not trivial if something happens, and it is common for this shopkeeper to carefully review the prescription. But listening to the same amount of medicine, her face gradually became solemn. It wasn't until the officer finished reading the whole sheet of paper that she suddenly stood up.
"Is this prescription called Qianding Fang?"
The shopkeeper of Xiaonan's yam shop has seen almost tens of thousands of recipes in his life, but he has never heard of these three words, and he muttered immediately. You can turn your head to take a look. One of the bearded guests with an unkind face actually changed his face at this moment. was staring at the woman who spoke, and he couldn't help but be even more suspicious.
The bearded man's face was as usual for a moment. Then he asked in a deep voice: "This Qianding recipe is a secret recipe handed down in the next family, how did the girl know about it?" ”
"Family heirloom......" At this moment, Amber grabbed the silk handkerchief in her hand tightly, only to feel that her heart almost jumped out of her throat, and the whole person was a little breathless. After a long time, she finally recovered from the extreme shock, and then reluctantly explained, "I've only heard of this recipe before, and I can't imagine that I can hear it after many years." Shopkeeper, this recipe is right, it is used to treat external injuries, and you can arrest him. ”
The shopkeeper glanced at the stunned man, and he was even more puzzled. However, after living for most of his life, he knew when to speak and when to be silent, so he hurriedly commanded his men to grab the medicine, bandaged his hands and feet neatly and handed it over, and weighed a few pieces of broken silver with a piece of money to return the money, urging the two strangers to leave, and then turned around to help Zhang Luo with the anointing prescription and Ejiao here.
When everything was ready, he himself carried Amber to the carriage at the door, and when he turned to go back to the shop, he found that the first two men who were hurrying to scratch the medicine were hiding in the shadow of the shop opposite, and followed as soon as the carriage moved. Seeing this scene, he was shocked, and he had the intention to send a guy to report to the county office, but when he saw that the other party suddenly turned back to look at him, he was so frightened that he hurriedly entered the house, but he secretly prayed in his heart.
God, that can't be a villain, right? If people take a fancy to the female relatives of the county master's family, in the end, the small pharmacy that implicates him will suffer!
