Chapter twenty-five, it's too late to say
Cheng Ensheng's eyebrows are clear, straightforward and unconventional, and he always asks about what Liu Zhiyuan is doing.
So after coming and going, Liu Zhiyuan gradually opened up the chatterbox.
Cheng En saw that Liu Zhiyuan had almost drunk, and slowly introduced the topic to what he wanted to ask.
"Dr. Liu is erudite, not like me, and can only do things to serve people."
Liu Zhiyuan waved his hand and smiled, "Girl, don't look down on yourself like this. Although you are a slave, you also follow a good master's family, although I am a doctor in the medical hall, but since Chen Lao left, the situation is not as good as before... Ay. ”
Saying that, he had another cup of belly.
Cheng Endao, "Doctor Liu is just unwilling, with your medical skills, you have invested in a good medical center, and you will have your own future." I am different, once a slave is a slave for all generations. Although the lord looked at it, let me do chores in this pharmacy. But I don't know anything about that. ”
Cheng En said as he diligently poured wine for Liu Zhiyuan.
"Take today, for example, the lord asked me to buy some prunella, and I told my men to do it. But the guy was reluctant. He also said when I can figure out what Prunella grass is, and then go and tell him to do something, you say this... Hey, blame me for being useless. ”
Liu Zhiyuan was unwilled for a long time and was drunk, and saw that Cheng En's girl's family was embarrassed and wronged.
immediately slapped the table and said, "These dog things, just dogs look down on people." ”
Speaking indignantly.
"Since I drank the girl's glass of wine today, I naturally can't let the girl suffer this grievance. In the future, if the girl has anything to ask, just ask me. ”
Cheng En made a grateful look, picked up the wine glass and drank it.
"Dr. Liu is indeed a righteous man."
Liu Zhiyuan was praised like this, and waved his hand and laughed.
Cheng En followed Liu Zhiyuan's words again and chatted about a few questions inside the Chen Ji Medical Hall.
Then he asked casually, "Speaking of which, what is the effect of this prunella grass?" ”
Liu Zhiyuan replied, "This summer withered grass is bitter, bitter, and cold, and has the effect of clearing heat and expelling fire, brightening the eyes, and dispersing knots and reducing swelling. The pure yang qi replenishes the yin bloodline, so it has the function of nourishing yin and yang. ”
"It is mostly used for cough and fever symptoms. In addition to some targeted diseases, its medicinal properties can also be replaced by other herbal medicines. ”
The businessman's sensitivity, Cheng En quickly grasped an important point in Liu Zhiyuan's words.
She asked, "In other words, this prunella can target a certain disease?" ”
Liu Zhiyuan's words were just a casual remark, and he didn't expect to be asked by Cheng Endan, so he hesitated for a long time before replying.
"Yes, but... How to say it, such as small illnesses such as pains and colds, it is not targeted, and it is okay to replace this taste with other ones, but... Well... But, except for the epidemic. ”
Cheng En's scalp tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "You mean, this summer dry grass can cure the epidemic?" ”
Liu Zhiyuan listened to Cheng En's words, and suddenly smiled, "Haha, if that's the case, then this summer withered grass has not become a panacea." ”
Cheng En thought about it again, and his face became shy.
"I spoke recklessly, which made Doctor Liu laugh." ”
Liu Zhiyuan smiled disapprerovingly and explained, "Interlaced lines are like mountains, and it is not surprising that the girl will ask this question." However, since ancient times, the epidemic has changed color, because at this time, the epidemic is difficult because the cause is uncertain, there is no specific prescription, and the disease develops rapidly, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will spread into a disaster. Because of this, once it breaks out, it will be a headache for the imperial court. ”
Cheng En was half-understood, wisps of thought, and then said, "It is said that this summer dry grass has to meet the epidemic that happens to be afraid of its medicinal properties before it can be useful." Otherwise, it's just an ordinary herb. ”
"Exactly."
At this point, she didn't ask any further questions.
Cheng En absentmindedly accompanied Liu Zhiyuan to drink a few more glasses.
When Liu Zhiyuan was about to leave, she paid for the wine and sent Liu Zhiyuan away.
On the way back to the pharmacy, an absurd thought kept popping out of her mind: there will soon be an epidemic in Kyoto, and this prunella grass is the most important medicine for the treatment of the epidemic!
But after thinking about it, I feel how absurd this idea is.
Unless someone can predict the prophet, such a probability is basically non-existent.
So, what if her conjecture came true?
Prunella vulgaris the most important medicine?
Cheng En's scalp was cold, and he was shocked into a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
The priority is not to suspect this.
Cheng En retracted his thoughts and set off to go to his preserved fruit shop.
I took 200 dollars and some preserved fruits from the shop, and explained some things to the shopkeepers.
So he set off to the pawnshop where he mortgaged his jewelry. She has always felt uneasy in her heart these days, so she thought that she had to bring Su Zhixi's jewelry back as soon as possible, so as not to cause extraneous branches.
Yuan Kee's pawnshop is located in Changxingfang, two hours' drive from her Yongping Fang.
Cheng En spent 200 yuan in the car dealership to rent a carriage to transport goods, seeing that the sun had risen to the sky, it was already the beginning of the day, and he didn't care about anything else, so he drove to Changxingfang.
When I returned the car to the car dealership in Changxingfang and took the bill to get back one hundred and fifty dollars, it was already the beginning of the application.
Cheng En grabbed the preserved fruit in his hand, and hurried to Yuan Ji Pawnshop.
When I finally arrived at the intersection, I saw that the pawnshop was in front of me, but I was suddenly stopped by someone.
Cheng En looked back and saw that it was the maidservant Qin Cao beside Su Jingyan.
Qin Cao walked over with a smile and glanced at the Yuan Ji pawnshop not far behind her.
"How did you get here?"
Cheng En was flustered, hid the preserved fruit in his hand, and replied, "The girl wants to eat crispy and fragrant almond crisp, so I ordered me to buy it." ”
Qin Cao pointed to her hand shrunk behind her and said, "When did your girl have such a mouth, I want you to go to Yongpingfang to buy preserved fruits, and I want you to come to Changxingfang to buy almond crisp." ”
Cheng En's eyes dodged, and he said with a sneer, "Isn't this the master, if you want to come out, it's a play." Anyway, it's us minions who run errands. ”
Qin Cao laughed back, "That's right." We are already cheap, and we eat this bowl of bitter rice. ”
After speaking, he said, "However, Crispy Xiangfang is not on this street." ”
Qincao turned and looked left and right, pointing to a path behind her.
"I should have walked through here."
Cheng En smiled awkwardly, "Really? I don't often come out to do errands, so I'm not very familiar with it. ”
"It's okay, I'll go with you. I'm fine anyway. My girl asked me to come out and buy some flower thread for her, and I bought it. ”
Cheng En originally refused, but he was afraid that Qin Cao would be suspicious, so he went back to talk to Su Jingyan, so he had to pretend to be happy to respond.
On the way, Cheng En was anxious, but he still had to pretend to be nothing, and answered the question of whether Qincao had a match or not.
When I went to Crispy Xiangfang to buy good pastries and send away the grass, half an hour passed.
Afraid that Qin Cao would follow her, Cheng En didn't dare to go straight to the pawnshop, she walked all the way to take a look, and when she was sure that no one was following, she hurried to the pawnshop.
By the time she arrived at Yuan Kee's pawnshop, the bell of the curfew had already sounded in the city.
