Chapter 117: Inquiry

When Shen Xiu left Deji Hall, he had a medicine bag in his hand. Xiao Xueyi personally prescribed the prescription, and said that for Shen Yue's sake, this medicinal material was given away for free.

Shen Xiu had nothing to say, so he didn't want to say it at all. In fact, she was also a little curious about what kind of medicine this legendary medical saint would prescribe to her.

"Go back to HSBC." Shen Xiu said to the coachman.

The driver didn't ask, and drove home.

Returning to HSBC from the back door, as soon as she entered the courtyard, Shen Xiu asked her mother-in-law, "Is my brother in the house?" ”

"The owner has something to do and is out of the house." The mother-in-law said.

Shen Xiu didn't ask again, although Shen Yue didn't like to go out, but it was impossible to stay at home every day to take care of business.

Back in the wing, Shen Xiu changed her coat, the little girl poured tea, saw the medicine bag in Shen Xiu's hand, and asked in surprise, "Is Miss sick?" ”

"Nope." Shen Xiu smiled and said, "I just met a ...... He sent me. ”

"It's strange to give gifts and medicinal herbs." The little girl couldn't help but say.

Shen Xiu smiled and said, "It's not strange for weirdos to do weird things. ”

Saying that, Shen Xiu picked up the tea bowl and drank tea, and after going out for a long time, he was indeed a little thirsty.

Immediately asked the little girl to take the tea bowl away, Shen Xiu received the medicine bag and put it on the table, opened it and checked it one by one.

Xiao Xueyi is very generous, and there are many kinds of medicine packets. There are those who fry clothes, and there are those who make sachets.

According to what he said, one pair a day, seven days in a row, to ensure that the medicine is cured. As for the sachet, it can be put in a purse and placed in the house, or it can be calm.

"What kind of herbs are these...... the little girl asked curiously.

Shen Xiu first opened the medicine bag of the decoction, and also felt puzzled, and said, "I don't know either." ”

She knows a lot of medicinal herbs, but this one is also relatively speaking. Even if it's a medical treatment, it's just a little problem for the little girl, and compared with everyone like Xiao Xueyi, there are more than one or two points missing.

Now among the medicines in the medicine package of Xiaoxue, there are seven packets of medicines, and none of the packets of medicinal materials are the same. Each pack of forty or fifty kinds of medicinal herbs, she knows at most half. It is only said that half of this knowledge is used to calm the nerves.

"Is the young lady going to take it?" The little girl asked.

Shen Xiu shook his head and said, "You can't take medicine indiscriminately." ”

She believes that Xiao Xueyi will not use poison in medicine, but Xiao Xueyi has a tone of finding fault, and she is afraid that she will be sick if she is not sick.

What's more, she really didn't get sick.

After checking again and making sure that there was nothing to keep, Shen Xiu called her mother-in-law and instructed, "Take out these medicine bags and throw them away." ”

The mother-in-law was very surprised and said, "Isn't this the medicine that Miss just caught?" ”

"I don't need it." Shen Xiu said, and said again: "Be careful to throw it away, don't let people take it indiscriminately." ”

Medicinal herbs are valuables, and if you throw them away, you will be picked up if you don't get it right. She didn't know the properties of the herbs, and it wouldn't be her sin if someone accidentally ate them.

The mother-in-law didn't know why, but said, "Don't worry, Miss, I will handle it properly." ”

With that, the mother-in-law turned around and went.

Shen Xiu opened another packet, which was used to make sachets, but it was a very common herb, which was indeed used to calm the nerves.

Since it was useful, Shen Xiu didn't lose it. She has indeed had some difficulty sleeping recently, and when she went to Deji Hall, she was thinking of taking some medicine to make a sachet, but now she uses the medicine sent by Xiao Xueyi to make it, but there is no workshop.

"It's good to use these as sachets." Shen Xiu said and said to the little girl: "Go find a few sachet skins, and I'll match them with some flowers and plants, match them to make sachets, and put them in the house." ”

The incense is too strong, and she also prefers the sachet. Medicinal herbs, coupled with the natural aroma of flowers and plants, make a sachet just right.

"Yes." The little girl responded.

After a while, the little girl turned around and came back, and there was no needlework in the HSBC shipping company, and she didn't find the sachet skin, but she found needle and thread and materials, which could be cut.

Shen Xiu picked a piece of fabric, but the little girl said, "I haven't cut a sachet, so I don't know how to do it." ”

"Then I'll do it, although I haven't laid it off." Shen Xiu said.

Generally speaking, Miss Qianjin will make a purse sachet to show that she can do needlework. At least for large clothes and shoes, it depends on the family background. How many young ladies have to make their own clothes, not to mention these little things.

In the really rich family, the maid must be able to do needlework, the big clothes are made by the needlework, and the small things worn by the young lady and the son are all made by them.

She has been a big girl in the Pingyuan Hou Mansion for a few years, this kind of work is done by second-class girls, she has only seen people do it, and she has not done it herself.

And the little girl she called was just bought, and she hadn't done it in a high-ranking family before. Poor people can't eat, how can they have the effort to make a purse.

It's better to do it yourself, teach the little girl by the way, it's ugly and good-looking.

"Bring the scissors." Shen Xiu commanded.

High-ranking families like to use their families to have children, one is because they are at ease with use, and the other is that they are easy to train. It's hard to find a girl who can wait, and the few girls she picks are also clever, but they are always not very easy.

The little girl hurriedly found scissors, and Shen Xiu laid out the cloth, picked up the scissors, and cut them. Although the appearance of the cut was a little strange, Shen Xiu didn't bother to correct it.

"That's how it was cut, and I'll do it myself in the future." Shen Xiu said to the little girl, and handed the cut sachet skin to the little girl, "Look at it, if you don't do it well, practice more, I'm not in a hurry to use it." ”

She has no interest in needlework, and she doesn't want to be very particular about dressing, just let the little girl practice slowly, even if she does it badly, it's nothing.

"Yes." The little girl responded, put the table away, picked up the needle and thread and went to the side to do it.

Shen Xiu was not idle, she picked up a pen and paper and wrote, this trip to Dejitang, although it was an accident to meet Xiao to study medicine, it is impossible to say that there is no benefit.

In the past, when she was in the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, she went out to buy medicine, and she went to a small pharmacy, which was where the poor went. A small storefront, the doctor sitting in the hall is not professional, you can just name the medicine if you want it.

Deji Hall is more like a private room for the rich, a famous doctor sitting in the hall, a small house walking back and forth, and a private room specializing in pulse diagnosis. The way Deji Tang operates is indeed an appetite for the rich, think about the small pharmacy she went to, the rich would not be willing to go.

"Speaking of which, if someone in the family gets sick, what will happen to your family?" Shen Xiu suddenly asked the little girl.

Qingyang has a well-developed business, so that there are many merchants, and there are more wealthy people due to business. And because of the openness of the people, the daughter's family can also go out, and most of the guests of Deji Hall are these wealthy merchants.

People who are really rich and powerful, such as the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, Mrs. Cheng was sick, and she was directly sent to ask Xiao to study medicine, and Xiao studied medicine and didn't dare to take it.

The so-called pharmacy, that is, the shop, the most important point of the shop is the customer positioning. The decoration of Deji Hall, such pomp and circumstance, is aimed at the rich. The small pharmacy she went to, that is, the person who had a little money but no big money, like she used to be.

She was suddenly curious, how do ordinary poor people see a doctor?

"I'm sick, grab some herbs in the field and boil them." The little girl said, "If it doesn't work anymore, just go to the goddess and ask for a talisman water, and just drink it." ”

Shen Xiu was somewhat stunned and said, "Don't you go to see the doctor?" ”

"The doctor is too expensive, how can he be rich." The little girl said.

Shen Xiu was speechless for a moment, no matter how hard life was, she really hadn't come into contact with the real bottom.

If you are sick, you will naturally not see a doctor and take medicine.

The writing pen paused, Shen Xiu sighed softly and poured himself a cup of tea.

If you think about it carefully, most of the people walking around in Dejitang are men, and there are a few women, either older grandmothers, or more like girls from big families, who take medicine for their masters.

A young lady like her, it seems that she is the only one?

Generally speaking, even if a merchant wants to transform into a high-ranking door after he has money, for the sake of family reputation, he will also restrict women from going out to sweep, and it is always not good to say it.

What if the young lady gets sick? I remember that Mrs. Cheng was sick several times, but she invited a male doctor to come to her home for diagnosis and treatment, and there was no hindrance. But once Cheng Yuanniang was sick, although she also invited a doctor to come to the house for treatment, but the movement was too big, for fear of ruining the reputation of the young lady.

Of course, with the power of the Plains Marquis Mansion at that time, it didn't matter how big the movement was. But generally small merchants with a little money are afraid that they can't withstand such a toss. There are also some girls' illnesses, but I am afraid that it will be more difficult to talk about them.

Or, she should open a women's medical hall for young ladies from ordinary merchants. Invite a female doctor, or an elderly doctor, to sit in the hall. Playing a sign is only for women to heal.

Although the customer base is limited, if you think about the pharmacy in Qingyang, there is Dejitang on the top and a general pharmacy on the bottom, and if you want to survive in the cracks, you can only go sideways.

"Eastern, Eastern......"

Just as Shen Xiu was pondering, he heard the sound of footsteps outside.

Shen Xiu looked out through the window, and saw Shen Yue striding forward, with a string of stewards and Shen Jing behind him. Wearing the clothes of the visitors, he should have just returned from his errands.

With so many people following, Shen Xiu didn't go over to join in the fun.

It wasn't until after dinner that the people in the main room dispersed, and Shen Xiu was sure that Shen Yue was done, so he went to the main room.

"Brother......" Shen Xiu entered the house.

Shen Yue and Shen Jing had just finished eating, and the mother-in-law was cleaning up next to them, and when they saw Shen Xiu coming, Shen Jing automatically retreated to the side.

"Why did you come here at this time?" Shen Yue asked, motioning for Shen Xiu to sit down.

Shen Xiu sat down and said with a smile: "I went to Deji Hall today. ”

Shen Yue frowned slightly, and said, "Where is it uncomfortable, let the steward go to the doctor, don't run around when you are sick." ”

"I wasn't sick, I just went shopping curiously." Shen Xiu said with a smile, a little tentatively: "It's also a coincidence, I met the big master of Deji Hall to study medicine." ”

When Dr. Xiao Xueyi diagnosed her pulse, she didn't leave Shen Yue for a word, as if she had a deep hatred. She simply asked what kind of grudge it was, so as not to be embarrassed when she encountered it again.

"Xiao Xueyi?" Shen Yue looked puzzled, and subconsciously looked at Shen Jing.

Shen Jing explained: "HSBC has been transporting goods to the Xiao family. ”

"Oh, oh......" Shen Yue was a little impressed.

Shen Xiu was surprised: "Doesn't my brother know Xiao Xueyi?" ”

"I don't know."
