"The Lei family has a request for me, your current identity is my wife, and they will naturally pay attention to you. I just mentioned a few words casually, and Lei Jingyun did it eye-catchingly. ”

Wen Yiheng walked behind Su Jiudong and skillfully kneaded her sore shoulders, "Since I can't be there when I have something to do when it opens, then try my best to arrange a grand ceremony for you under the most limited conditions, otherwise I'm afraid that you will be disappointed and leave me one day." ”

Su Jiudong smiled playfully, stopped Wen Yiheng from pinching the messy hand on her shoulder, and said with a sneer: "Now that the Medicinal Diet Pavilion has just started, I have a lot of things that I need your help with. As long as you do your best and think of your goodness, I will not give up on you for the time being...... Pack your things and go home. ”

After a busy opening day, it was time for the two to return home on the willow tops of the moon.

Su Jiudong dragged his heavy body back to the house, threw himself on the bed, and fell asleep.

came back late today, and Su Jiudong lost the spirit and perseverance that he usually used to study the poison of Bailuo's skirt for Wen Yiheng, and he only felt tired and scattered.

It's not easy to do business, and now there are a lot of things, and I have to prepare medicinal food for Mrs. Li in the future, but I'm afraid it will be even busier.

After the first day of opening, Mrs. Lei's support and the tasting of medicinal food, Jonway Medicinal Diet Hall made a name in the county, and everyone in the city knew that there was such a medicinal diet restaurant for health preservation.

In the winter of the year, many workers like to order glutinous meat and ginger soup in the medicinal restaurant after finishing work in the evening, and the small meat residues mixed with spicy ginger slices are mixed to relieve hunger and warm up.

The little daughter-in-law on the street likes to sneak into the restaurant and privately order some small soup to treat the woman's physical illness.

Some scholars who are living in poverty also like to come to the medicinal diet hall to buy small medicinal food with a clear mind...... Gradually, the business of the restaurant also became popular.

Su Jiudong mostly circles around the boiler in the kitchen during the day, mainly responsible for the preparation of medicinal food, and also takes a few cooks to familiarize themselves with the combination of medicinal materials and ingredients from scratch according to the set medicinal food dishes, especially focusing on explaining to them the medicinal materials and ingredients that are mutually reinforcing.

In the evening, after the pharmacy closed and closed, Su Jiudong stepped up his research on Wen Yiheng's Bailuo skirt poison. Su Jiudong filled his daily itinerary to the full, busy and fulfilling.

Wen Yiheng mostly goes out in the morning to do his own things, and only comes to the medicinal restaurant in the afternoon to help. There was a shopkeeper Liu in the restaurant to entertain, and Su Jiudong was in charge of the kitchen, so Wen Yiheng was assigned another important task by Su Jiudong: to contact the source of goods.

Su Jiudong did not have a supply line in his hand, so Dr. Yan recommended the supplier of medicinal materials in his medicinal herb shop to Su Jiudong, but she still felt that it was not enough, so she thought of Wen Yiheng, who was "omnipotent".

Su Jiudong thought that Wen Yiheng was supported by the identity of an attendant, and his connections must be very extensive. Instead of asking around the market himself, it is better to let him use his own connections to find suppliers with good quality and low prices.

The winter moon was cold, wet and cold, and on this day, Su Jiudong put on the thick winter coat that Wen Yiheng bought and came to the medicinal food hall early. In the afternoon, Su Jiudong was not "guarded" in the medicinal restaurant, so he had to go to the Li Mansion with Wen Yiheng to visit Mrs. Li, the original partner of the former county commander, as promised. So in the morning, all things should be ordered in advance.

Fortunately, after getting along with Shopkeeper Liu and the cook for half a month, sometimes Su Jiudong noticed the details, and Shopkeeper Liu could immediately react and pay attention; The cooks are also starting to get started with the meals, so that many things are not hindered by so many practical difficulties.

At noon, the guests in the medicinal diet hall gradually increased, and Wen Yiheng also returned to the medicinal diet hall in advance.

Su Jiudong's treatment and conditioning for Mrs. Li is not very high-natured.

Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Lei are best friends, and the two have a close personal relationship. The Lei family is not clean in private, and Su Jiudong thinks that the former county commander is only afraid that he will secretly collect a lot of money when he is in office, otherwise the two county commanders will not have much contact, and the two wives will not become close friends.

"I went this afternoon, why don't you talk to Mrs. Li more, I'm only responsible for diagnosing the pulse and prescribing prescriptions." Su Jiudong leaned lazily against the counter and fiddled with the abacus, and the whole person exuded a low aura of "I don't want to go".

"Today's visit is just to set the pulse first, and the medicinal diet can be slowly mixed later. I'm not a doctor, so how can I have a topic to talk about with Mrs. Li? It's all up to you. Wen Yiheng explained Su Jiudong and said: "Didn't you say that you would work hard to earn money and give me dividends at the end of the year?" Isn't Mrs. Li just a ready-made piece of silver delivered to your door? Are you willing to do it? Give it to people for nothing? ”

"Ready-made silver, I still want it. It's a big deal, I don't often go to the Li Mansion for Mrs. Li, just like the previous Lei Mansion, just let the subordinates and the doctors in the mansion pay attention. ”

Su Jiudong looked at the recent income and expenditure, and then converted the silver taels that could be earned if he took over Mrs. Li's voice...... A penny is hard to beat a hero.

In front of the generous reward promised by Mrs. Li, Su Jiudong had to temporarily let go of his jealousy and hatred.

While he was talking, the officials of the Li Mansion specially came to the Medicinal Diet Hall to pick up Su Jiudong and the others. The three of them left from the main entrance of the medicinal restaurant, talking as they walked, and no one noticed that Su Xiaoshan in the rouge shop across the street was looking at them.

As the former county magistrate, Lord Li after leaving office has been much more low-key on weekdays, and the house is not as spacious and grand as the Lei Mansion, just ordinary blue walls and rubble, which seems to be just a few more rooms than ordinary people.

The official family introduced the two into the main hall.

The warbler and swallow in the main hall are so lively.

Mrs. Li has the highest status among the ladies in the house, and she sits at the top with a tired and indifferent expression.

On the left and right, there were two empty seats near the first few points, and the other seats were occupied by a total of four concubines of Lord Li.

One of the women, dressed in garnet red, laughed the loudest, smiling as she looked at the toddler in the middle of the main hall.

"Oh, this is...... Which guest is invited? It's so pretty. The woman in red was the first to notice Su Jiudong and the others who walked in, and her eyes were glued to Wen Yiheng's body.

The bright water-cutting eyes seemed to be rippling with a pool of autumn water. Originally, the voice in the main hall suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at Su Jiudong for a long time, only the little boy was still smiling and playing.

"Doctor Su, you are finally here, I hope you are looking forward to it these days." Mrs. Li smiled when she saw Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng coming, and welcomed Su Jiudong in with a smile and let them sit in the two specially vacated seats for them.

"This is Dr. Su, who was invited by the master for me to diagnose and recuperate, has superb medical skills, knows the most about medicinal materials and ingredients, and is the best at medicinal diet conditioning...... This Prince Heng is the attendant of the minister of the Imperial Mission, and he specially assists the Lord of the Imperial Mission to inspect and observe public opinion. Mrs. Li introduced Su Jiudong and the others to everyone present.

After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth and smiled sideways, and her tone couldn't hide the lightness: "My lord has been away from home for more than a year, and he still remembers whether I am healthy or not, which really makes the two of you laugh." If any of my sisters feel unwell in the future, they can also come to my yard to find Dr. Su to recuperate. ”

Several concubines laughed when they heard this, knowing that this was what Mrs. Li deliberately said to everyone, and the corners of their mouths were full of contempt.

Obviously, it was Mrs. Li herself who invited Su Jiudong to recuperate for her, but now in front of people, she said that it was Su Jiudong who was invited by Lord Li.

Su Jiudong didn't know if Mrs. Li wanted to deliberately tell several other concubines, in order to prove that her wife was still valued by Lord Li, or if she had other purposes.

"Mrs. Li warmly invited, Heng and Neiko came early, and they didn't dare to be late." Wen Yiheng skillfully used the false politeness of the nobles in the capital. Mrs. Li also introduced everyone present to the two of them one by one. Su Jiudong noticed that when introducing the red-clothed concubine, Mrs. Li's tone seemed to imply a gritted attitude.

"This... is also the concubine of my lord, called Qiu Tong. She is the most blessed, the first to add the first junior male for my lord and our Li family. ”

Mrs. Li pointed to the little boy who was entertaining himself by several servants in the middle, "This is my lord's son Xing'er, and it is also the lord's baby pimple." ”

Before Su Jiudong came to the Li Mansion, Wen Yiheng told Su Jiudong about the situation about the Li Mansion that he had investigated in advance.

Mrs. Li Wang was originally the daughter of a high-ranking official, and after the family was lonely, she married Lord Li, who was the county magistrate at the time, as the original match. Since the two got married, there are only two girls under their knees and no son.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Lord Li is unwilling to divorce his wife because of Mrs. Li's family relationship, so he accepts many concubines to open up branches and leaves for the old Li family.

The four concubines are all from the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, among them, Qiu Tong, who was born in the Qing Dynasty, is the most delicate and smart, and he is also the "luckiest" among the four concubines, and he became a man in one fell swoop.

Master Li is old and has a son, and he values Qiu Tong and his young son Li Xinger the most, and he can't wait to send all the good things to Qiu Tong's yard.

Li Xing'er is only three years old now, it is the time of toddler, snow-white and cute, Lord Li takes great care of Li Xing'er, and finds three nurses to accompany Li Xing'er without falling behind, and he hides in the house all day with Qiu Tong, who is Li Xing'er's biological mother, and is affectionate.

Although Lord Li did not dare to blatantly spoil his concubine and kill his wife, he gradually ignored Mrs. Li, who was the original partner of the main room.

Mrs. Li was depressed all day long, unable to eat and unable to sleep at night. Later, he was angry with Master Li, refused to eat well, and ate and slept indefinitely, so he suffered from the same chronic stomach disease as Mrs. Lei, and his physical functions weakened with age.

Looking at the room full of Yan Thin and Fat, Su Jiudong only felt that this Lord Li was old, and he was still looking for so many young and beautiful girls to be concubines, and he was willing to give up if he had to give birth to a son, which was really feudal and stubborn, and he was disrespectful to the old.
