Chapter 67: The Three Princes Choose Concubines
I hope that after returning home, I will open the wine jar, pour out some medicinal wine, and look at the letters written by Zhao Sheng to her.
After getting out of the carriage, Qin Li walked into Hu Ji Pharmacy and helped Hu Langzhong sort out the medicinal materials.
Because after she had lunch at the pharmacy yesterday, Hu Langzhong said to her in private, "Li'er, from tomorrow onwards, you don't have to grab medicine for customers, help me sort out the medicinal materials." None of my apprentices have you to be careful. ”
She didn't say anything modest, she just agreed.
The work of sorting out the medicinal herbs will be done when she is still in the new world. If you can learn more skills, you can also come in handy after coming to this plane. When she thought of these things, she was very grateful to her grandfather in her heart.
It's thanks to the grandfather who used to be in the New World, he was a Chinese medicine practitioner who taught her a lot of skills.
For example, the job of wrapping medicine, whether it is wrapped into a square bag or a tiger head bag, it will not be difficult for her. But according to Hu Langzhong, Wu Anren worked in the pharmacy and only learned to pack medicine, and he studied for nearly two months.
Because when wrapping into a square bag, the corners should be aligned, so that when the wrap is wrapped, it will have edges and corners and look good.
When Wu Anren came to the pharmacy, he always couldn't listen to people urging him, and as soon as he heard people urging him to hurry up, he couldn't wrap it well. Knead the paper around, and when you get nervous, your palms will sweat.
Hu Langzhong watched from the sidelines, feeling anxious for Wu Anren's disciple.
So after finishing work, Hu Langzhong also called Wu Anren aside and carefully taught Wu Anren to pack medicine.
It is more difficult to wrap it into a tiger head bag than it is to wrap it into a square bag. It has to be wrapped in a shape with a high middle part and a low margin. Wu Anren learned to wrap tiger head bags, and at least ten times before he came up with one that satisfied Hu Langzhong.
Even after Wu Anren learned, Hu Langzhong would still ask Wu Anren to grab medicine for customers every once in a while, so that he would not be familiar with it again.
Hu Langzhong said that customers are still quite satisfied with Qin Libao's medicine. Because it's not just the good-looking bag, but also the tightness.
After getting a packet of powder, a customer shook his right hand and accidentally slipped the packet of medicine to the ground.
"Oh my God!"
Hu Langzhong hurriedly said: "It's okay, old man." The girl invited by the old man is very careful. ”
With that, he leaned over and picked up the packet of powder, and handed it to the old man with both hands.
The old man took the packet of medicine, but saw that the package was fine, and took it in his hand to take a look, but did not see the powder overflowing. Only then was he relieved and said:
"It's old and too worried, and please don't be too careful."
As the old man spoke, he looked at Qin Li, who was still standing in front of the counter and was busy, his eyes were full of gratitude.
As soon as Qin Li raised her eyes at that time, she just met the old man's gaze looking at her, and she read a trace of guilt in his eyes. Only then did I understand that it may be that the old man thinks she is too young and very fresh, and is worried that she is a newcomer and will not do well. That's why I'm a little worried.
Seeing the old man smiling gratefully at her, and then turning around and walking out of the pharmacy, she couldn't help but smile.
The people who work in the Hu Ji Pharmacy, whether they are doctors, men, or shopkeepers, all eat at Hu Mansion at noon.
After lunch.
Wu Anren poured Qin Li a cup of tea, smiled and said to her: "Miss Qin, as soon as you come to the pharmacy, no one will teach you, and you will be able to package the medicine powder." Did you learn from anyone before that? ”
In order not to make Wu Anren a little suspicious of her, Qin Li said: "I used to watch Uncle Hu catch medicine for people, and I saw it several times. I watched a lot, I memorized it, tried to practice a few times, and then wrapped it up. ”
Wu Anren smiled awkwardly, "I see." ”
Hu Kee Pharmacy.
Qin Li stood in front of the cabinet and put the angelica very away. Suddenly, I heard a strange female voice, coming from the counter.
"I heard that Miss Li over there refused a family affair that someone proposed to her not long ago. She is so persistent, could it be that she really has to wait for Fu Gongzi for the rest of her life? ”
"Who knows what she thinks? I've only heard that Miss Li gave a hairpin to Fu Yu, and it cost nearly fifty taels of silver to buy it. But it didn't take long for Fu Gongzi to meet the daughter of the prefect. ”
"After getting to know the girl surnamed Chu, Fu Gongzi abandoned Miss Li?"
"Is it possible? I think that at the beginning, when Fu Gongzi accepted Miss Li's hairpin, he didn't say that he didn't want his future wife, Miss Qin. Similarly, after he met Miss Chu, he did not abandon Miss Qin. The relationship between him and Miss Qin was only withdrawn after Miss Qin went to the government to reason with him. Who would he be willing to abandon, you say? ”
As soon as these words fell, the people standing in front of the counter couldn't help but laugh.
Wu Anren, who was standing in front of the counter to grab the medicine, knew what was going on between Qin Li and Fu Yu, and kindly persuaded the two women: "These things are over, don't mention them." ”
"How can you not mention it?" A woman raised her eyebrows, looked at Wu Anren, and said:
"You don't test your fame, you don't want to be an official, I don't know how difficult it is for today's Jinshi to be an official. Do you know that my nephew went to Beijing with Fu Gongzi and them to take the exam. Fu Gongzi was hit by the Jinshi, and so was my nephew. But to this day, my nephew has no errands to do. ”
"All of this is related to Fu Gongzi." The woman looked at Wu Anren with a look of resentment and asked:
"I'm not comfortable in my heart, and you still don't allow me to mention it?"
Wu Anren was holding a sulk in his heart, if he didn't become an official, he should come to the pharmacy to talk about these things, which made Miss Qin feel uncomfortable? But he is a healer, and when he encounters this kind of thing, he can only endure it.
Not wanting to say anything to the woman anymore, Wu Anren hurriedly grabbed the medicine for the woman. In this way, the woman will be able to take the medicine and leave the pharmacy early, so that she will not be idle here and say things that are not acceptable.
When he heard this, he was angry for Miss Qin.
Miss Qin was also working in the pharmacy, and she could definitely hear what the woman said. She herself must have been very sad to hear those words.
The woman took a packet of medicine and was about to turn away, when the woman standing behind her said to her:
"Wait, when I get the medicine, I'll take you back in my wagon. By the way, you haven't said it yet, your nephew has nothing to do with Fu Gongzi? ”
The woman sighed helplessly and said:
"Fu Gongzi had a good relationship outside, and his good appearance almost killed Miss Qin, he was next to him at the time, but he didn't save Miss Qin. Because of his business, even those who were tired of being admitted to the Jinshi with him, and several other students from Jiayu Mansion were waiting for good news at home. ”
Another woman asked:
"They were introduced by the same person?"
"Exactly, they are all relatives of the prefect of Chu, and they were recommended by Yu Xiang." When the woman mentioned Yu Xiang, her eyes showed a look of pride.
Qin Li stood by the cabinet and glanced at the woman from a distance, only to see that the woman was smiling a little proudly, and she felt disdain in her heart. What if it was recommended by Yu Xiang?
Misconduct, isn't it the same as being idle at home and having nothing to do?
"Yo, Yu Xiang." Another woman smiled and said:
"So what else do you have to worry about? Yu Xiang is the minister of the humerus, and the emperor trusts him very much. Also, I've heard people say that the emperor is ready to marry the prince. The prince himself is the son, among the daughter of Yu Xiang and the granddaughter of another prince with a different surname, choose a woman and be the princess of the main palace. ”
"At that time, if Yu Xiang's daughter marries the prince as a concubine, those Jiayu Mansion students who are recommended by Yu Xiang will definitely have a good future."
Qin Li also heard these words, and his heart was full of mixed feelings!
