Chapter 144: Gratitude (2nd Update)
The incident that day in the prison will be settled, Cheng Qi will take Gu to his own Jixin Pharmacy for a follow-up, Qing Dai persuaded her to avoid the limelight, and now there are still rumors on the street, or go out in a few days.
"I have a clear conscience, what am I afraid of."
Cheng Qi told her that she didn't need to persuade her, just stay in the mansion, and it was enough for herself and Holly to accompany her.
On the street, the carriage moved slowly, Gu leaned weakly on Cheng Qi's shoulder, the man held her hand, although he didn't say a word, but the temperature from her mother still made her feel extremely reassured.
It's nice that someone is thinking about it.
"It's really hard work for my mother this time." Cheng Qi said guiltily.
Holly sat opposite, looking at the warmth of the two, and said with relief: "As long as the girl is okay, the lady will be fine." "Shrunk her feet," I just don't know what kind of elixir the girl studied for Mrs. ”
Cheng Qi said flatly: "Where did the panacea come from." Effortlessly made up a reason, "It's just that the teaching grandmother in the palace came that day, I asked a few more words, and the grandmother did a good deed and said a prescription." ”
Holly nodded: "Also, those old grandmothers have lived in the palace for so long, and they haven't seen any strange diseases." ”
"Desert." Gu Shi slowly raised his head and straightened up, "I sent your uncle away yesterday, I didn't say much, after all, he is our own family, and King Pingguang also has his own old lady to send a post to thank you." ”
"Mother is talking about Jiang Xiaowangye's side?" Cheng Qi is smart.
Gu nodded and turned the thick jade jade bracelet on his wrist: "I didn't expect that this incident, Xiping's owners and nobles avoided it, but he was the only one who was willing to come forward to help. ”
As soon as this incident came out, Cheng Qi was impressed by Jiang Xiaowangye, and it was the first time he learned that he and Cheng Yan were such good friends in private, and it seemed that they were not too unbearable inside.
"Jiang Xiaowangye's side." Cheng Qi didn't think about it, "Wouldn't it be okay to ask Cheng Yan to come over and thank you?" ”
Gu glanced at her blamefully: "People can't be grateful, people came forward to save you, not to mention that you haven't thanked Cheng Yan well, this kid is benevolent and righteous, and the uncle's decision back then was in vain." ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Qi asked what was in his heart again.
"Mother." She said cautiously, "Father... Why do you want to succeed Cheng Yan? ”
She is not asking why, because everyone knows the reason, but she doesn't want the Qizhuang industry that has worked hard all her life to fall into the hands of the second and third rooms.
What she asked was why she chose Cheng Yan.
Gu Shi was transparent and naturally understood, but she also shook her head unexpectedly.
"Your father didn't explain this to me." She said calmly, "I didn't ask, your father has always been very decisive, and he naturally has a full plan to do this." ”
Holly also echoed: "Yes, girl, you look at Young Master Zongyu now, but it's amazing." ”
Cheng Qi also nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, for this Qizhuang industry, Cheng Yanzhi is sure to get it, but he is not greedy, and for the long house that he joined later...... This time is also sincere. ”
Gu chuckled and held her hand: "Why don't you ask Cheng Yan in person, presumably only he and the uncle know about the succession." ”
"Forget it." Cheng Qi smiled, and then it was true, "When my father decided to succeed Cheng Yan, that person was only three or four years old, what could he know, besides, that person had a moody personality, like a cat, I asked him so abruptly, and he was suspicious that I didn't believe him, so it was okay." ”
Holly covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes crooked into crescent moons.
Gu Shi also smiled, looking at Cheng Qi's delicate face, his eyes were full of the sternness of an elder and the softness of a mother.
My daughter is different from before, but I can't tell what the difference is, but no matter what, my heart is always full of hope, and it's good not to be knocked down by difficulties.
"That's it." She instructed, "In the evening, you still have to go to Xijing Pavilion." ”
Cheng Qi said: "Go and thank Cheng Yan again?" ”
Gu shook his head: "No, wouldn't that be a sight to make him think that you don't treat him as a brother." The carriage stopped, and she was helped up by Holly, "You go and discuss with him, and go together to thank Xiao Wang Ye Jiang for the matter." ”
Cheng Qi responded, got out of the car to pick her up first, and marched into the pharmacy, Zhou Laolangzhong was not in the main hall, only the guy Xiao Tong was there to check the pulse of a woman.
Because of the fact that he almost lost his head, He Xiping knew that the Cheng family and Duan Guifei were not on good terms, and now it is no exaggeration to say that half of it was covered by the woman's skirt, and no one dared to provoke it.
Yesterday, I heard Qing Dai say that her business was a lot colder because of Duan Guifei's obscenity, but when I looked at it today, it was not just cold, it was obviously frozen.
Cheng Qi helped Gu sit down, turned around and teased Xiao Tong: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are also out of school?" ”
Xiao Tong smiled shyly: "The girl laughed at me." Pulling his finger back from the woman's wrist, "Master is dispensing medicine in the back room and told me to try my hand." ”
When the woman heard this, she was not angry, but smiled and said, "That little brother, is there a way to cure my illness?" ”
"What are the symptoms?" Cheng Qi asked.
Xiao Tong got up and said, "Woman's blood." Scratching his head in front of those medicine cabinets, "I remember that Master told me about the prescription for regulating blood meridians, I want to think about it..."
Cheng Qi stood next to him and said in his heart that this woman had irregular menstruation.
"Podophyllus, Tibetan madder..."
Xiao Tong recalled in his heart, and muttered in his mouth: "And... Flower snake meat. ”
"Detoxified flower snake meat?"
Cheng Qi suddenly asked.
"You know?" Gu Shi turned his head and said curiously.
Xiao Tong nodded subconsciously: "Yes, yes, yes, the flower snake meat has to be poisoned." Two seconds later, he raised his head again, turned around and looked at Cheng Qi in surprise, "The girl knows this?" ”
Cheng Qi was cramped by these two people, and she didn't know what was going on, just now Xiao Tong began to read the names of those Chinese herbal medicines, she felt familiar in a trance, and a recipe suddenly came out of her mind.
Could it be that the old uncle wrote this in the medical books that she used to memorize?
Xiao Tong didn't care, he hurriedly went to the side of the desk to pick up the pen, and said with a sigh of relief: "Great, if the girl knows, tell the slave quickly, and when the master comes out later, when he sees that I can't make a prescription, he will beat me." ”
Cheng Qi blinked, but he really said a bunch of them: "Pomegranate seeds, Tibetan comfrey, dwarf violet, pepper, pig man, emblica, kaempfera, wolfberry, comfrey, ......"
Xiao Tong put down the pen quickly, and his face gradually showed joy: "Yes, yes, yes, this is this." ”
Holly was beside her, her eyes showing a little caution: "How does the girl know this?" ”
Cheng Qi lied and didn't blush: "In the early spring, my grandmother locked me up, I was bored in the building, and I read a lot of medical books. ”
"I see." The more Holly spoke, the lower it became.
The woman took the prescription written by Xiao Tong, and stopped and asked, "By the way, my family has been coughing recently, and occasionally has mild abdominal pain, but it doesn't look like a serious illness, but is there any way?" ”
"Soak it in water with goldenrod, and give it to him after three filters, maybe it works."
Holly calmly took over the conversation.
Seeing this, the woman turned her head to look at Xiao Tong, and the young man nodded: "The goldenrod has this effect." Then he told the woman, "Remember, you must take it after three filters, otherwise the poisonous dilution of the goldenrod is not enough, and it will make the population dry and red, tachycardia, dizziness, delirium, and hallucinations." ”
The woman answered, and then she left.
Xiao Tong smiled while cleaning up his pen and ink: "Miss Qi and Sister Holly are really hidden." ”
Cheng Qi heard this and glanced at Holly.
The man was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said in a low voice: "It's just because Madame has been ill for a long time, and they all say that a long illness becomes a good doctor." ”
Cheng Qi stared at him for a few seconds and didn't speak.
