Chapter 150: Take the initiative to care
"Miss, is this flower banquet all sweets? It's true that slaves and maids like sweets very much, but if they are all sweets, the slaves and maids will be a little greasy when they eat them. When Lu Tang learned that Qi Shu was going to take the two of them to the prince's mansion to participate in the flower banquet specially held to welcome the prince of Yunnan, Nalan and He, he was very excited, and he was extremely looking forward to the upcoming banquet.
The green orange held his cheeks, and looked out the window over Qi Shu, who was sitting and writing calligraphy, and couldn't help but have some reverie.
Qi Shu concentrated on writing his own words, and didn't pay attention to the green orange, but Mo Zhu, who was next to him after grinding the ink for Qi Shu, couldn't help but speak.
"Green orange, you sit beside Miss without obedience, hinder Miss from writing, and what are you talking about, are you annoying?" Mozhu criticized mercilessly.
looked up at Mo Zhu dissatisfied, pouted and said, "There are no outsiders here, why are you staring at me every day?" ”
"It's not that you, it's that Miss is too indulgent to you, do you still have some rules? Besides, the old lady of the Qi Mansion and the whole family are going, how can it be your turn to eat and drink there as a maid? Don't use your brain. ”
"Why don't I use my brain? I can't think about it? ”
"I can't think about it." Mo Zhu replied mercilessly.
"Why? Don't even think about it? Green orange said unconvinced.
"I just don't give it!"
Qi Shu reluctantly put down the pen and turned around to play the round: "Okay, don't quarrel, you are too, green orange, why do you let Mozhu look for you every time and be told by her?" The two maids around him were noisy all day long, and they were not too tired.
"Miss, it's Mozhu who is always picky about the slave maid, and the slave and maid are thinking that they are going to the prince's mansion to go to the flower banquet to eat flowers, can this not be happy?"
"But what does that have to do with your rudeness? Do you know that if you keep being so rude, you will get trouble for Miss? ”
Green Tangerine was blocked from speaking, but she still selfishly felt that it would not be good if it was rude if they were present, and if she was outside, of course she would be careful and cautious.
"Cultivating scales and raising claws" These are the four big characters that Qi Shu wrote on rice paper. Mo Zhu and Green Orange both didn't understand a little, why Qi Shu wrote these four words, it didn't seem to be related, didn't it?
"Everyone in the Qi Mansion is going, so, you must be careful tomorrow, and don't lose your manners, teach people to laugh at me The people of the Qi Mansion have no rules, Mo Zhu, you also help to detain her more, I have always indulged you, but you must not disappoint me and embarrass me."
Qi Shu's tone was very heavy, I don't know why she was a little frightened and uneasy about the upcoming tomorrow, although she didn't know where this uneasy feeling came from, but there was always a feeling of melancholy, Qi Shu once considered asking Ning Ze if she could call herself sick.
There shouldn't be any chaos, if it is, she won't be implicated, if something really happens, then what should Ning Ze do?
No, what does she want to do so much, Ning Ze is none of her business, she cares what he does so much, she cares about it.
Forget it, let's go, isn't it just a flower feast? Just use some flowers to enjoy the flowers.
"What's the weather like outside today?" Qi Shu looked out the window, but he was covered by green bamboo and could not see the sunlight outside, and the hoarse cicadas in the past seemed to have disappeared without a trace as if they were dead.
"Miss, it's cloudy today, and the sun outside is blocked. It's much cooler than the other day. Mo Zhu thought for a moment and responded.
"In this case, immediately prepare a horse and go to the tea street to find Imperial Doctor Qiu." Qi Shu seemed to suddenly remember something, then turned around and found a piece of letterhead, and then picked up the pen and immediately wrote quickly.
After writing it, it was immediately put into an envelope, and then the seal was sealed.
"You immediately hand over this letter to the coachman in charge of our courtyard, and ask him to send it to the Guanghan Royal Mansion immediately without delay." Qi Shu frowned at the green orange and said solemnly.
Green Tangerine also restrained his playful expression, and immediately went to find the coachman after receiving Qi Shu's letter, and Qi Shu asked her to find Ning Ze's person, Ning San. As for Qi Shu himself, he took another carriage to the tea street to find Imperial Doctor Qiu.
There are still a lot of patients who come to see the doctor in the Jimin Medical Center, but it is hot in summer, and Dr. Qiu is worried that it will not be good if the patients line up outside, so he got the permission of the people who supervised the tea street and built a small pergola to accommodate some people more or less.
Most of the patients were old, weak, sick and disabled, Qi Shu didn't take a few looks, she had some important things to ask Imperial Doctor Qiu.
Green Tangerine and Mozhu did not get off the carriage, Qi Shu put on a veil and quietly walked into the medical hall without attracting attention.
And Ning Ze also received Qi Shulai's letter very quickly.
In the early stage, the venue arrangement, manpower arrangement, and distribution of materials in the prince's mansion have been arranged, and tomorrow's flower banquet is also very simple.
Ning Ze came forward to preside over this banquet, although it was to eat flowers, that is, to eat all kinds of food made from flowers, but this flower had also been said before, part of it was the local flowers of Shaoliang of Wei State, and the other part was the flowers brought by Nalan Hehe.
It seems very simple, just a feast and drink, don't be too extravagant and wasteful, the guests and hosts just have fun.
Just as Qi Shu was worried, Ning Ze was also a little worried, but the person in charge of this banquet was not him after all, and Ji Nan was the first time to hold this kind of banquet among the ministers, so he couldn't help but be a little elated.
Ning Ze knew that his hand would definitely not be stretched too long, and if it was stretched too long, it would definitely cause Ji Nan's dislike, but there were many details that still needed to be cautious.
Just when Ning Ze and Butler Fuda were still discussing whether to send some more people to the prince's mansion tomorrow, Ning San had already quietly walked in with a letter.
"Lord Wang." Ning San half knelt down and saluted respectfully.
The conversation was interrupted, Ning Ze looked at Ning San with some displeasure, he was not looking at Qi Shu in the Qi Mansion, what was he doing when he ran back to the mansion?
"What?"
"The county lord has given you a letter to be forwarded to you at once, and I will come." Ning San put the letter in his hand flat in his palm, and then presented it.
Hearing that Qi Shu urgently said that he was going to send it, Ning Ze was a little surprised, and hurriedly took it, and then opened the envelope on the spot.
After reading it, Ning Ze didn't move for a long time, and he didn't say a word. But an obvious smile appeared on his face, it seemed that Qi Shu still cared about him very much, otherwise why would he write this letter?
What Qi Shuxin wrote emphasized the countermeasures for what to do if something happened to tomorrow's banquet.
She mentioned a very important point is about this flower food, you must know that everything is mutually reinforcing, tofu should not be eaten with spinach, if there is any relationship between flowers, if people eat by mistake, skewers, if something happens to cause poisoning, it is not known.
Some flowers are non-toxic and edible, some flowers are poisonous and inedible, and some flowers may cause coma or something when eaten together, which must be carefully chosen.
As far as Qi Shu knew, Nalan Hehe was extremely confident in his flowers and cherished them, and almost never let others handle them, even Ning Ze and Ji Nan themselves had not touched them a few times.
In other words, if Nalan Hehe dropped his bag that day, or if he used some means to cause some mess and make a mess of the banquet, who would be responsible if something went wrong? Ji Nan, as well as Ning Ze and Qi Shu, are all to be implicated.
Qi Shu thought very carefully, in addition to inviting the imperial doctor to be present to appreciate the evaluation, in addition, it was also necessary to clearly check the flowers of Nalan and He, and there could be no questionable varieties, which was an extremely serious matter.
These were not something that Qi Shu came up with temporarily, since the day Ning Ze told her that she was going to hold a flower banquet, she had always had this matter in her mind, but because Ning Ze never let her interfere in this matter, Qi Shu couldn't point fingers at anything.
However, a flower banquet was going to be held tomorrow, and Qi Shu was still a little relieved after thinking about it, so he decided to inform Ning Ze of this matter in the form of a letter, even if it was just a reminder.
Ning Ze didn't expect Qi Shu to take the initiative to communicate with him about this matter, after all, she was extremely reluctant, because these things actually didn't have much to do with him, or he himself dragged her into the water.
So, can Ning Ze think that Qi Shu clearly cares about her?
Hmph, with his understanding of Qi Shu, it must be so! She is taking the initiative to care about him!
"You go back, take care of her, don't walk around without anything special." Recovering his joyful thoughts, Ning Ze lifted his eyelids and glanced at Ning San, and said in a detached tone.
"Yes, but the county lord is now at Dr. Qiu's, you see, am I going back to Qi Mansion or going to find her?"
"Well, you go back to Qi Mansion first, and I'll go find her in person."
"Yes." After Ning San received the order, he retreated.
And Fuda also went to prepare what Ning Ze said, tomorrow's banquet is very important, and it can't be smashed in the hands of the prince and the prince no matter what.
Ning Ze went to the stable to lead the young horse, but before he entered the stable, he was already told that the horse had been led out and led to the door, and the Fuda housekeeper went to lead it.
In addition to the fact that the horses that are pulled by Fuda every time they have to travel, Fuda is still annoying most of the time.
The Jimin Medical Center in Tea Street, after Qi Shu and Ning Ze came back from Jiangnan, neither of them went again, Qi Shu occasionally wanted to go over to help, but maybe he had a certain fear of going out, Qi Shu locked himself in the house and didn't go out much.
And Ning Ze also asked Fuda to issue a rule to the palace, and no longer see any shadow of steamed bread in the mansion, and if he saw a little steamed bread, he would directly drive people out.
Although Fuda didn't know why Ning Ze made such an announcement, he didn't dare to delve into the reason.
During the period when neither of them went to the Jimin Medical Center in Tea Street, the reputation of the medical center was also played. It has become one of the few conscience hospitals in Shaoliang City.
The common people trust Imperial Doctor Qiu very much, after all, he retired from the palace, and set up a medical hall with the intention of hanging the pot to help the world, and the people are naturally very supportive.
As a result, Imperial Physician Qiu's reputation surpasses the reputation of many other doctors in Shaoliang City, some people admire his true talent and humble learning, some admire Imperial Physician Qiu's noble medical ethics and serve as an example, and some are only envious, jealous, disdainful and cursed, curse Jimin Medical Center will close down soon.
To tell the truth, Imperial Physician Qiu didn't expect the people to trust him so much, and he never thought about what to do with the intention of curing diseases and saving people, but he was already very pleased to be able to achieve such an achievement, and it was in vain that he had been practicing medicine for decades and had fulfilled his long-cherished wish.
After receiving Qi Shu, he sent her out through the back door.
As soon as the front foot left, Imperial Physician Qiu was about to go back to his inner room to continue to see the patient, Qi Shu said a bunch of what he didn't have, and he was in a hurry and how to tell which poisonous flowers he asked him if he wanted to attend a banquet, and what Ning Ze said If he wants to come to him, he can consider it.
But what did the good King of Guanghan come to him without illness or disaster? Do you have nothing to do when you are full?
Just as Imperial Physician Qiu was puzzled by how Qi Shu came to the door to say some of the things that were not, Ning Ze came to the door.
The little old man was weak and couldn't stand the toss up and down the stairs so much, Ning Ze seemed to be personable, but the cold eyes were clearly saying: Where did Qi Shu go, people? Hurry up and tell this king!
The patients in the hospital were waiting, and Dr. Qiu first went up to the second floor with a veiled woman, who was estimated to be a noble woman, if she had some unknown hidden disease or something.
Then came a young man dressed richly, with a handsome face, and an elegant temperament, and the two went upstairs together.
Everyone who came to see the doctor knew that Dr. Qiu came out of the palace and knew a lot of dignitaries, so it was not uncommon for such a person to come out by chance, but there was an extra layer of admiration and convincing for Dr. Qiu.
He also should have the couplet hanging on the pillar at his door: I wish there would be no suffering in the world, and I would rather put medicine on the shelf and produce dust.
What a man! What a nice guy!
Everyone present was deeply reminiscent, and they all praised Dr. Qiu after all.
After the good man in the eyes of the patient followed Ning Ze upstairs, he instantly became shorter, looking no different from a "villain".
"This, lord, what are you doing?"
"What about Qi Shu? When did you go and how long did you go? What did I tell you again? Ning Ze didn't play sloppy with him, seeing that Qi Shu was not here, he thought that he might be going back, but he didn't know how long it would be back and whether he could catch up.
This...... It's been a while since she spoke, even if she catches up, she can't necessarily catch up, who knows which way Qi Shu's girl is going? Instead of misleading the prince, it is better to say that it has been gone for a while.
