Chapter Seventy-Eight: Gift-giving
Since you are going to visit the patient, medicinal materials such as Panax notoginseng, angelica, Angelica dahurica, Chuanxiong and other medicinal materials are indispensable, and supplements such as ginseng, bird's nest, Ganoderma lucidum, and gastrodia are also indispensable.
Wang Xi pondered in her heart, remembering what gifts others gave when they came to see her or her grandfather.
You also have to give some for eating, drinking and having fun, preferably if Chen Luo likes or is interested.
But she didn't know what Chen Luo liked.
At this time, ask Chen Yu about it, I don't know if it's too late?
Wang Xi finally decided to be a dead horse doctor, and asked Wang Xi to inquire about Chen Luo's preferences, and at the same time, he sent Mama Wang to Dr. Feng to ask Chen Luo for some bruising pills to come back.
And she thought about it, and felt that Chen Luo was such a big person who was beaten by her father, and she made a lot of trouble in the city, and anyone would feel that her face was dull and her mood was low. I am afraid that it will be the best gift for him to get the recipe of the spice at this time.
She hurriedly asked the little maid to bring a letter to Wang Xi and ran to the Zhenwu Temple.
After a busy day, I finally got together a cart of gifts.
The medicinal materials contained in the red lacquer gold box are not counted, she also prepared ten white silks for Chen Luo, ten Hangzhou silk, ten silk silk, ten silk Luo, ten various colors of brocade, what donkey rolling, pea yellow, chrysanthemum crisp and other Beijing dim sum, but also spent a lot of money to invite the master of Gui Shunzhai to come forward to order it personally, not to mention, but also used the box to contain a set of picture books of the most popular "Thief Fairy Grass", "Standing Flower Wall", "Selling Oil Lang" in the capital today, and the cover of the four books and five classics on the bread outside, sandwiched in the end inkstone, lake pen, and Chengxin paper.
So much so that Chen Luo was stunned when he received Wang Xi's gift list, pointing to the "four books and one set" on the gift list, and said confusedly: "It can't be a clerical error, right?" What did she send me this for? β
Chen Yu didn't know either, but he confessed to Wang Xi and said, "Miss Wang also specially sent her own nurse brother to inquire with me about your preferences, there can't be any misunderstanding, right?" β
Chen Luo let out an "oh", quite surprised, and said, "How did you answer?" β
At this time, he was lying prone on the Luohan bed covered with emerald bamboo in Lu Mingxuan's study, wearing only a thin bottom, revealing a thin waist and a broad but whip-marked back.
Chen Yu couldn't bear to look at it directly, lowered his eyes and said, "I said I don't know." The king didn't ask. I think I know the rules, how can the master's preferences be so easy for people like us to know? If someone throws poison or something to their liking, then what's the matter! β
Chen Luo laughed twice, played with a somewhat old glass bead in his hand, and said, "People like us? What kind of people are they? β
Chen Yu didn't dare to answer.
Chen Luo smiled and said, "Bring those four books to me to see." β
He was a little curious.
He can understand that the Wang family gave him medicinal herbs or things to eat, drink and have fun, why did they send him books?
Are they letting him cultivate his self-cultivation?
He is very likely to become the owner of their family, is it okay for them to offend the owner like this?
Chen Yu turned around and hurriedly hugged the box containing the four books, and couldn't help but persuade Chen Luo: "The Wang family is said to be the largest medicinal herb merchant in the southwest, and the Qingping Marquis Mansion once bought medicinal materials from their family, not to mention Dr. Feng's medical skills. Would you like to try the bone-setting pills they sent from home or dissolve the stasis? It shouldn't be worse than the one sent from the palace? β
He hoped that Chen Luo would get better soon.
The emperor said that the reason why Chen Luo was the official of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army was because Lord Wu had made meritorious contributions in resisting the Japanese in Fujian and Zhejiang, and the emperor would send someone to comfort the army in the next few days. Chen Luo, as the newly promoted governor of the Chinese military, can also go.
At that time, those commanders, generals, and governors had a lot of filial piety, which could be regarded as making up for the pain of their family being beaten.
But the premise is that the adults in their family can get better, and the emperor can send someone to comfort the army.
Chen Luo didn't think so, nodded casually, and opened the box.
It's really "University" and "The Mean"!
It can't be the only one from the previous dynasty, right?
If it is the only book of the previous dynasty, it also has the meaning of sending!
Chen Luo pondered and flipped through it casually.
What does it mean to draw a hairpin from a scratching ear and cheek standing in the attic and throwing a hairpin at a merchant passing by in the alley below?
Chen Luo's body stiffened, and he was about to sit up, but it involved the whiplash wound on his back, which made him "snort" in pain, and he lay down again obediently.
"What the hell is Chen Li doing?!" He complained, "Isn't he very experienced?" Why is this injury so painful? β
Chen Li was an entourage on his father's side, powerful and adept at whipping.
His father, who professes his identity, doesn't always do it himself.
At this time, his father would let Chen Li whip him.
His father had a good plan, and he had a wall ladder.
As early as after Chen Li didn't dare to make a move for the first time, and all the beatings were skin injuries, he bought Chen Li.
If he hadn't been disheartened this time and decided to draw a line with his father, he wouldn't have deliberately provoked his father and was beaten this time.
Still, the effect is not bad.
Not only was his father reprimanded by the emperor, but his good sister also became notorious, and most importantly, the emperor stopped pursuing some of his affairs, which was a triple win for him.
However, Chen Jue was there, and he was ready to teach her another lesson.
He wondered if his good father would be distressed by this.
It's also a good solution to the speculation in his mind for many years.
It's a temptation, isn't it?
Chen Luo flipped through the book "University" again.
In addition to the painting of scratching ears and cheeks and throwing hairpins, there is also a pretentious painting to send autumn waves.
What's this mess about?
Chen Luo thought, inexplicably relieved.
Fortunately, it wasn't the Spring Palace painting that was given to him.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing!
She wouldn't think he would watch this when he was idle, would she?
Where did he give her such an impression that made her think that he was such a person?
Chen Luo's brows furrowed.
Chen Yu hurriedly stepped forward, stood next to him and looked cautious and didn't know what to do, and said, "Why don't I go and call Imperial Doctor Chen over to show you?" Or maybe I'll give you some more medicine? β
"No need!" Chen Luo said casually, "The emperor should send someone to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the next two days, if I can accompany me so soon, others will definitely think that I am making a big fuss and calculating my father." Why don't I lie down like this for a few more days so that everyone knows what my dad did? β
With a look on his face, he took off the cover of the blue and white "University" very seriously, revealing the cover of the colorful "Oil Seller".
Chen Luo laughed, once again touched the injury on his back, and "snorted".
Although this time he was touched by the same wound as last time, Chen Yu looked at Chen Luo like this, but found that his smile was so sincere and happy, even happier than when he was rewarded by the emperor.
Is it that interesting?
Chen Yu was a little incomprehensible.
Chen Luo had already instructed him: "Hand me those books too." β
Only then did Chen Yu find that the other books in the box had somehow fallen next to Luohan's bed.
He hurriedly bent down to pick it up.
Chen Luo confessed to him: "You can pick it up, don't look at it!" β
Is there anything else in this book that can't be found?
Chen Yu thought about it, but honestly didn't take a second look.
Chen Luo was even happier when he opened several other books, especially the book "Standing on the Flower Wall", which wrote the story of a rich lady and a poor scholar who had a tryst on the flower wall and gave each other treasures.
Miss Wang wouldn't be hinting at something, would she?
He took her a clairvoyant mirror, but she didn't give it to him for free, right?
If he said a word for their Wang family, their Wang family would earn far more than the money of this clairvoyant mirror.
She can't be so stingy, right?
But it's hard to say.
Looking at her like that, she is not a generous person.
helped Bo Mingyue once, and immediately asked for it back. Maybe she was really hinting at him something?
Even though he thought so, Chen Luo didn't feel the sharpness of being threatened.
Maybe Wang Xi is too weak in his eyes and has no lethality, maybe Wang Xi is a little naΓ―ve, with seven emotions and six desires, thinking that he is well hidden, but in fact, he can be seen through at a glance.
Chen Luo happily removed the covers of several other books and looked at them with a smile.
It's all about men and women, and I don't know what to call picture books.
Miss Wang doesn't usually look at these things, does she?
No wonder she can be whimsical anytime and anywhere, this kind of story is not a little stupid, and she really can't read it.
Chen Luo threw the book aside in disgust, and said to Chen Yu, who had been guarding beside him: "This painting skill is a little worse, and the book will inevitably become vulgar." β
Chen Yu was confused, not knowing what Chen Luo was talking about.
Chen Luo was suddenly a little bored, thought for a while, and said, "You tell me to go down, if Miss Wang comes to visit the patient, you don't have to stop her, let her in." β
Chen Yuying "yes", but his heart was overwhelming, thinking that Miss Wang was also from a big family, or the cousin of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, men and women are not close, even if they come to visit the patient, she will send the competent steward around her, and with the difference between you and the Wang family, the steward of the Wang family enters the house, at most, he will kowtow to you outside and say hello, and she is not even qualified to come into the house to see you, so where did Miss Wang come to visit the patient?
Could it be that the adults were confused by the grandfather of the country?
He was pondering here, but Wang Xi was picking up a house in the Yongcheng Marquis's Mansion.
Wearing a purple and white brocade woven with falling flowers and flowing water patterns, she stood in the empty Qingxue Garden, while brushing the fragrant leaves in her arms, while instructing the people around her: "It must be exactly the same as when I moved in." Including the two flowers in front of the steps, also move me to the willow shade garden. β
Baizhu looked embarrassed and hesitated: "The flower garden over there is designed and sorted out by the flower farmers who help Lin Yuan do things, and these two flowers are a little inappropriate......
Wang Xi thought about it, and it was true.
She said: "Then divide it into pots, half of it will be sent to the third lady and Miss Pan in the Spring Shade Garden, and half will be sent to Lu Mingxuan in the Eldest Princess's Mansion." Speaking of this, she remembered and said, "Did the eighteen bachelors and gold belt I bought go to Chen Ergongzi?" β
The eighteen bachelors are famous camellias, and a bud can produce several flowers; The gold belt is a famous peony product, and its stamens are at the waist of the flower, as if it is surrounded by a gold belt.
Wang Xi pushes himself and others. felt that Chen Luo was definitely not in a good mood to recuperate at home, so he might be in a better mood if he sent some flowers to him to nourish his eyes.
