073. Preparation of poison (2)
Although Liu Jiaojiao was worried about ironing, she was still a little helpless when she saw Liu Jun's embarrassed appearance, and explained: "Grandpa, the Liu family really hasn't come to find fault recently, and I have other uses for these things." β
"Other uses?" Lei Zhong glanced at her suspiciously, lowered his head again and carefully studied the recipe, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Although these three recipes are toxic, they are not very toxic, and they are not troublesome to solve, presumably you want to prepare them for self-defense, right?" β
"Well, grandpa, you're so smart!" Liu Jiaojiao pretended to be adoring and nodded.
Lei Zhong gave her a funny look, then put down the recipe and said: "Although this recipe is not fatal, you must strictly control the amount of medicinal materials when preparing it, otherwise it will become a poison that pierces the intestines, Jiaojiao, it is a good thing to learn to guard against people, but sometimes I am afraid that you will not be able to prevent it." In this way, I have a few recipes that are suitable for you, and I will give them to you together, there are ready-made ones in the herb shop, should I help you make them, or do you do it yourself? β
Liu Jiaojiao replied with a smile: "Then I'll thank grandpa first, I want to try to do it myself, it's always good to learn more, what do you think?" β
"I think ah......" Lei Zhong deliberately dragged out a long note as if he was off, and then showed a kind smile, "I think you're right, hahaha!" β
"Grandpa!" Liu Jiaojiao pouted and disagreed, and the delicate state of the youngest daughter was clear at a glance.
"Hahahaha, okay, grandpa won't tease you, let's go get you a recipe, and then ask the housekeeper to go to the shop to get the corresponding medicinal materials back, there is a place at home that specializes in dispensing medicinal materials, and the tools are complete, so you can go there and do it!"
Considering that Liu Jiaojiao has no experience in pharmaceuticals, Lei Zhong thoughtfully asked the housekeeper to take five copies of each medicinal herb back, so she had to practice her hands, didn't she?
Liu Jiaojiao knew that Lei Zhong loved her, so she was not hypocritical, and after thanking him, she followed him into the pharmacy and made poison with his help.
Liu Jun was left outside alone, but he was not annoyed, he couldn't help if he went in anyway, it was better to wait quietly outside, and a layman wouldn't make trouble.
Just when he was sitting there silently drinking tea alone, the housekeeper suddenly hurriedly came over and said hurriedly: "Young Master Liu, there is a distinguished guest coming to the door, can you please call the master out?" β
Liu Jun was surprised: "Lei Dong's house is in the pharmacy, you have been going to pass it on, why do you want me to call him as an outsider?" β
The housekeeper said helplessly with a bitter face: "The old slave knows that the master is in the pharmacy, but the study and the pharmacy are forbidden places in the house, and they are not allowed to approach without a summons, the master values the young lady, and the young lady is your sister, so the old slave has to ...... it."
Liu Jun understood that the housekeeper was afraid that he would be angry when he approached the pharmacy, so he hoped that he, a relational household, would help spread the word, even if it was for the sake of Liu Jiaojiao's face, Lei Zhong would not be angry with him.
The abacus is really good, but Liu Jun is not the kind of honest boy who is easy to get hot, especially after experiencing Xia Lian's calculations, he will pay more attention to people other than Liu Jiaojiao.
"I wonder who came to the door? Since Lei Dong's family has something to do, can't he visit the other party another day after making it clear? Liu Jun asked lightly.
The housekeeper couldn't help but look at him deeply when he heard this, and then replied: "It was Liu Yuanwai, a big family in the town, who came to the door with his beloved daughter, saying that he came to worship and thank him for the life-saving grace of selling century-old ginseng that day." β
It turned out to be them, and they really couldn't afford to offend, so they had to let Lei Zhong come to receive them in person.
Liu Jun nodded, put down the teacup, got up and said, "Uncle Troublesome Housekeeper will take the guests to the side hall to serve tea, and I will go to inform Lei Dong's family." β
The steward was ordered to leave.
When Liu Jun knocked on the door and entered the pharmacy, although Lei Zhong was not angry because of Liu Jiaojiao's presence, his eyes were obviously a little unhappy.
"Something?"
Liu Jun politely bowed his head to Lei Zhong and said: "Lei Dongjia, Liu Yuanwai came to visit with his beloved daughter, saying that he wanted to thank you for selling century-old ginseng that day, and the housekeeper didn't dare to come to the pharmacy to disturb, so he had to let me pass it on for him." β
Lei Zhong raised his eyes, his eyes were not angry and arrogant, and he said lightly: "The housekeeper has followed me for many years, and he still doesn't dare to disturb me, why are you so bold as an outsider?" β
Liu Jun hooked her lips slightly and replied, "Just because the kid is an outsider, he is not bound by the rules of your mansion." β
Lei Zhong wanted to make it difficult for him a few more words, but Liu Jiaojiao immediately said with a short help: "Grandpa, don't scare my brother, Liu Yuanwai is a big family in the town, and there will be more places for your shop to count on him in the future, such a person can only have a good relationship, it's not easy to offend, you better hurry up and treat the guests, don't miss the business!" β
Lei Zhongyan didn't know this truth, he just wanted to embarrass him a few words just because he was unhappy, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by Liu Jiaojiao at the beginning, glared at Liu Jiaojiao with a smile, and after scolding a few words, he turned around and left the pharmacy to greet customers.
After Lei Zhong left, Liu Jiaojiao walked to Liu Jun's side and explained with a smile: "Brother, don't be angry with grandpa, he just talks about it, and he definitely doesn't treat you as an outsider in his heart." β
Liu Jun shook his head indifferently and said, "Lei Dong's family is your grandfather, so naturally I won't be angry with him." β
He could see that Lei Zhong really loved Liu Jiaojiao, and it was a good thing for him to have one more person to protect his sister, how could he be angry with Lei Zhong?
Liu Jiaojiao was relieved to see that his expression did not seem to be fake, and then returned to the same place and continued to concentrate on preparing the poison.
Don't look at the simplicity of the prescription, but it's really not easy to prepare, especially the finished product she wants to prepare is still a pill, and there can be no mistakes in the process, otherwise it will affect the efficacy of the medicine or a trivial matter.
Fortunately, Lei Zhong is experienced, although she didn't do it herself at her request, but she told it in great detail, Liu Jiaojiao was already smart, and after the baptism of Lingquan, her memory and six senses have made great progress, so although she was careful in preparation, there really wasn't any big mistake in the middle.
Liu Jun sat on the side, looking at Liu Jiaojiao who was dispensing medicine seriously, and felt that there seemed to be a halo around her sister at this time, which made the whole person look particularly presence, and she could hardly take her eyes off.
It is said that serious men are the most attractive, but in fact, serious women are the same, but Liu Jun at this time still doesn't know this truth, but she simply thinks that her current sister is very good-looking.
In the side hall, Liu Yuanwai and Lei Zhong sat on the same seat, and Liu Yuanwai's precious daughter Lin Yuanyuan sat in his lower seat.
After greeting Lei Zhong for a few words, Liu Yuanwai cut to the chase and said: "Lei Dongjia, that day, you personally came to the door to ask me to help deal with Zhou Yuanwai, but before I could do it, Zhou Yuanwai had an accident and was imprisoned, can you have your hand in this matter?" β
Lei Zhong's heart shook slightly, he felt strange, it had been so long since the sale of ginseng, why did Liu Yuanwai personally come to the door today to thank him, it turned out that the thank you was fake, and it was true to investigate.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Lei Zhong did not show half a point on his face, and said with a haha: "Grandpa is too much to look down on the little old man, if I have this ability, how can I ask for the grandfather's house that day?" β
Liu Yuanwai didn't feel that he was perfunctory at all, but nodded and said: "The old man also thinks the same, if the Lei Dong family really has a tough backer like the third prince, they will never go to the old man's door." β
Lei Zhong said yes again and again, just thought that this matter could be skipped, but he heard Liu Yuanwai's voice suddenly turn, "It's just that the old man heard that your granddaughter is a little amazing." β
"Oh? My granddaughter is still young, and although she knows some pharmacology and has some luck in collecting medicine, she can't afford such praise. Lei Zhong replied cautiously.
Liu Yuanwai smiled as kindly as a spring breeze in March, looked at Lei Zhong, and said softly: "Don't worry too much about Lei Dongjia, the old man's words will only come out of my mouth and into your ears, and will never let others know, including those who know and people in the inn, the old man has already sealed his mouth." β
Lei Zhong suddenly panicked in his heart and sealed his mouth? What do you mean? Could it be ......
Seeing that his expression was different, Liu Yuanwai immediately guessed what he was thinking, and explained with a smile: "Lei Dongjia, don't you know what kind of person the old man is? I'm talking about sealing, not extinguishing, just using some money and means to make them forget about your granddaughter and the third prince. β
Lei Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still in the air, he didn't understand what Liu Yuanwai meant, so he asked himself.
Liu Yuanwai looked at Liu Yuanyuan, who was sitting there obediently, sighed slightly, and said slowly: "You also know, I have no children under my knees, and Wei Yuanyuan, a beloved daughter, naturally regards it as a treasure, but when her daughter is older, she always wants to get married. But you also know that although my Liu family is a big family in the town, it is impossible to get into the eyes of the three princes, and I happened to know that your granddaughter seems to have the blue eyes of the three princes, so I came to the door rashly, hoping that your granddaughter would do me a favor and let my daughter enter the Three Princes' Mansion. β
Liu Yuanyuan bowed her head shyly when she heard this, and the silk handkerchief she was dragging in her hand was mixed together, and she knew that she was very nervous at a glance.
Lei Zhong was still nervous just now, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in Liu Yuanwai's gourd, but now he can be said to be very shocked.
Not to mention whether the third prince can take a fancy to a small family, Liu Yuanyuan, who is still an ordinary businessman's family, can spoil his daughter to this point, and he can't help but say that he admires it.
In this era, men and women can't teach each other privately, even if they secretly promise after a glance at someone, they can only knock on the side and let their parents come forward to find a way to see if they can talk about this marriage, and who will send their own daughter to be a concubine?
That is the third prince, a relative of the emperor, and the only brother of the emperor, is it really good to go to others to be a concubine like this? The most important thing is that with Liu Yuanwai's identity, it is estimated that even a concubine will not be willing to give it.
Is this loving his daughter, or is he harming his own daughter?
In the pharmacy, Liu Jiaojiao finally succeeded in making a poison, jumped up happily, and hurriedly asked Liu Jun for credit: "Brother! Lo and behold, I succeeded! β
Liu Jun has always been Liu Jiaojiao's best praise, and immediately stretched out her thumbs up approvingly, boasting: "I saw it, Jiaojiao is the best!" β
"Of course, I'm the only Liu Jiaojiao!"
Before her happy mood passed, the system's ruthless complaint came to her head.
γDrip ...... Remember, humility makes one progress, and pride regresses. γ
Liu Jiaojiao: "......"
This basin of cold water is really cold.
