By the time the lord of Yongping County came to Xie's house again in the name of begging for throat lozenge, Xie Mulin had already packed all the collected medicinal materials, neatly packed four large boxes, and almost all the medicinal materials on the list were complete.

There are only two rare goods missing, one has been sent to Baoding to buy, and some insiders have provided news that there is a spot there, and it is estimated that they will be able to come back tomorrow; The other one is still at Tongzhou Wharf, and it can arrive tonight at the latest, and it will also arrive tomorrow.

The envoy entrusted to Xie Mulin by the county lord of Yongping has almost been completed.

The county lord of Yongping was stunned, looking at the bags of medicinal materials packed in front of him, with the name of the medicine marked on them, the amount was enough for the imperial doctors and the government doctors to prescribe medicine for ten days, and some couldn't believe that his sister-in-law had really done this matter within three days.

Xie Mulin told her again: "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the county lord will find a reason to send someone to me to ask for something, and I will send the two subsequent medicinal materials to the palace by the way." If there's anything missing, you just have to open your mouth. Now my people are familiar with this matter, and they are very clear about the inventory situation of various pharmacies and medical centers in Beiping City, and they can go to the door in a targeted manner to find any medicine they need, and they don't have to look for it all over the street, which is more trouble-free and more hidden. It's just that if you want to collect medicine again in the future, you may not be able to use the banner of the Xie family's ointment, and you need the palace to come forward. ”

The county lord of Yongping sighed: "Good sister-in-law! I didn't expect you to really do this, and do it so well! Nowadays, people outside only know what throat moisturizing cream the Xie family wants to boil, and those who know some inside information only guess that you plan to curry favor with my mother or the queen mother, but I didn't expect that you actually have a third layer of intentions! ”

Xie Mulin smiled: "The obvious reason is naturally used to fool most people, and the deeper excuse can prevaricate those who have status and love to think cranky." If there are still people who don't believe in these two reasons, and have to guess whether something happened to anyone in the Queen Mother's companions, then there must be something wrong with this person. The palace will take care of it, so I don't have to worry about it. I've done this and that's enough. ”

"That's a good thing to say." The county lord of Yongping sneered, "The matter has been concealed to this point, if anyone still guesses that His Royal Highness was poisoned on the queen mother's ship, it must be a villain with evil intentions!" They are really going to show their heads, no matter what the origin is, it will definitely not go wrong to arrest and interrogate them first! ”

Xie Mulin carried out a one-foot-square carved wooden box and put it at the end of the kang: "This is the kind of honey throat lozenge here." Although it's just a pretense, it's good to do enough drama. Although these were boiled last year, and it has been more than half a year now, this thing has a relatively long shelf life, and it is no problem for a year. In summer and autumn, I drink it with water, and my throat will feel cold and comfortable, and I usually drink a glass when I have nothing to do. The county lord took it back and tasted it with the prince and princess. I heard my father say that he had also sent it to the palace in previous years, and the county lord must know how to cook. ”

Lord Yongping smiled: "I know this. Two years ago, I had a bad cough, and Aunt Wu gave me this flush to drink, and I drank it for a few days and I was fine, which was much better than taking medicine. She looked at the boxes in front of her and sighed again, "I actually carried a large bag around my sister-in-law's house, this is too cheeky!" ”

Xie Mulin smiled: "This is not a gift to the county lord, it is something that our Xie family has entered, what does it have to do with the county lord's face?" Outsiders don't know, chew their tongues indiscriminately, and just let them go. At most, they gossip about me and laugh at me for stammering my future sister-in-law. But I'm happy to stutter, what does it matter to them? Don't the girls in their family have to please their mother-in-law's family? ”

The county lord of Yongping laughed: "Sister-in-law, you are such a wonderful person!" After laughing, she took Xie Mulin's hand, "Sister-in-law, rest assured, the credit of the Xie family, our old Zhu family will remember it!" ”

Xie Mulin blinked: "It's not a credit or a merit." My father just hoped that the world would be peaceful and the court would be stable. ”

The county lord of Yongping nodded at her, then stopped being verbose, and got up to call the female guard outside the door to come in and move the box. Today, she specially brought a few more henchmen, many of whom are powerful and forceful, which just came in handy.

The queen mother's ship has arrived in Tongzhou at this time, and it is estimated that she will enter Beiping City tomorrow, and the county lord of Yongping really doesn't have much time to grind, and he has to send the medicinal materials into the Forbidden City as soon as possible, so that it is convenient for the imperial doctor to check and use. She hurriedly said goodbye to Xie Mulin, and then left with people and boxes. When they left, Xie Mulin turned his head back to the courtyard, but saw Xie Yingrong hiding on the pillars of the verandah in the main courtyard and looking around.

She asked angrily, "Third sister, what are you doing here?" ”

Xie Yingrong hurriedly walked over with a smile and asked curiously, "Second sister, what did the county lord take away?" So many boxes ......"

Xie Mulin had already thought of the answer: "Naturally, it was the throat lozenge she asked me for earlier." I heard that Princess Yan was eating well, and several ladies in the clan were very interested and asked the princess for it, and the county lord had to come to me again. ”

Xie Yingrong couldn't believe it, she seemed to smell a smell of medicine: "Really? Second sister, don't coax me. Our family has just received medicinal materials, and we haven't started to boil the ointment prescription yet, where can we give these many ointments to Yanwangfu as favors? You have to take four or five big boxes to carry them away! ”

Xie Mulin paused, and then rolled his eyes at her: "Look at what the third sister said, am I such an unparticular person?" Give a gift to your future in-laws, people want to be anointed, I'm really just a paste?! It doesn't come with a few souvenirs, but it also needs to be accompanied by some food, clothing, local products or something, right? Third sister, on weekdays, my mother taught us sisters a few people and etiquette, didn't you listen carefully?! ”

Xie Yingrong sneered: "No, how could it be? I am...... I just smell the medicine and think it's strange......"

"Medicinal smell?" Xie Mulin sniffed his sleeve in confusion, "Is it because I have some medicinal herbs stored in the house, so I got the smell?" Alas, I don't think there's anything when I'm used to smelling it, and when the county lord is here, I don't know if I smoked her? She left in a hurry, could it be because she disliked the smell of medicine in my house? After speaking, he turned back to Xiang Tao who was following behind him and said, "Give a message to Zhang's mother in a while, and ask her to clean up the house where the medicine is boiling as soon as possible, and bring a few people to me to get the medicine, lest my good house will soon become a storehouse for storing medicine." ”

Although Xiang Tao didn't know what her girl was going to do, her years of training made her know how to respond at this time: "Yes, girl." When I got back to the yard, I sent Xiao Tao to find Zhang's mother. ”

The master and servant walked in the direction of their yard singing and singing, Xie Yingrong fell behind, always feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't think of anything wrong, so she had to shake her head, leave this matter behind, and quickly followed Xie Mulin, and asked her about the thing she was most concerned about at the moment: "Second sister, my aunt heard the news in the upper room, saying that the Queen Mother is about to arrive in Beiping, isn't it?" The officials and their dependents are going out of the city to greet them, right? Who are we going to? Is the second sister going? And what about the big sister? Can I go along? ”
