Chapter 194: Dispensing
After Lu Zheng left Master Puyun's Zen monastery, he went to the place where his mother and grandmother listened to Zen to look for people.
When they arrived at the place, before their grandmother and mother finished listening, Lu Zheng was in a hurry to prepare medicinal materials, so he explained to Mother Lin beside his mother, saying that he had something to do, so he left first, and asked them to take care of his grandmother and mother.
Seeing Lu Zheng's anxious face, Mother Lin hurriedly agreed to come down and let Lu Zheng go first.
After Lu Zheng left, he did not return home, but rode to the outskirts of Beijing.
After finding Lu Wen, the two returned to the city together.
When he arrived at the pharmacy under the name of the Lu family, Lu Zheng handed over the list of medicinal materials to the shopkeeper.
"First follow what is written on this paper, go and prepare, if there is nothing in the store, tell me in time, go."
"Yes, Shizi." The shopkeeper received Lu Zheng's explanation, and hurriedly took the list and prepared to go.
This is Lu Zheng's mother Lin's dowry shop, so they are all from the Lin family, and Lu Zheng is also relieved to leave things to them.
He also took a look at the list of medicinal materials given by the master, except for a few special ones, the rest should be almost all available.
Their family has a secret connection with the northwest, naturally.
Although he is back, the Zhenbei Army is still there.
Therefore, there was a war in the northwest, and Lu Zheng actually received the news earlier than the imperial court.
This is not because of him, or because the Zhenbei Army has any big rebellious intentions.
In fact, the Lu family's private messages were delivered by the eagles and falcons they had trained, and they were naturally faster than the horses at the post station.
That's why he was able to receive the news in advance.
Knowing that the war in the northwest has started again, Lu Zheng will not hide his mother and grandmother.
After his mother learned the news, she began to prepare and bring him medicinal materials from the northwest.
This is something to do every time.
Regardless of whether Lu Zheng goes to war or not, Lin, a mother, must prepare in advance in order to feel at ease.
The son is going to work hard, she can't be by her side, if there is no good medicine to be around, how can she rest assured?
Lu Zheng also knew his mother's worries, so every time, his mother prepared this and that for him, and he never stopped it.
Every time the men of the Lu family go to the battlefield, for the women in the family, in fact, it is a kind of torture.
Loyal to the monarch and patriotic, the Lu family is not bad, but no matter how loyal and patriotic the monarch is, how can people be selfless?
It is glorious enough to sacrifice one's life for the country, but if you have a choice, who doesn't want to be with your family well, safe and healthy......
"General, aren't these things done by Mrs., how did you grab the job with Mrs. this time?" Lu Wen couldn't help but be puzzled when he saw that Lu Zheng handed over a list of medicinal materials to the shopkeeper of the pharmacy.
Lu Zheng did not hide Lu Wen, tilted his head slightly, and whispered to him: "This is the medicine list given by Master Puyun." ”
"Master Puyun!" Lu Wen was surprised, and then immediately figured out something, and asked carefully, "Could it be that the above agreed?" ”
As he spoke, Lu Wen also stretched out his index finger and pointed upward.
Who is this referring to, Lu Zheng naturally understands.
"It has been agreed, and the appointment will be issued tomorrow at the latest."
"Great! Let's go back to the Northwest! When Lu Wen heard this, he clapped his hands with joy.
He had been looking forward to going back to the northwest.
Yejing is prosperous here, but being detained in a camp on the outskirts of Beijing all day long is really not enjoyable.
"Be careful." Lu Zheng glanced at Lu Wen and reminded.
"My subordinates understand." Lu Wen's jaw should be lowered.
Lu Zheng knew that Lu Wen knew the measure, so he didn't say more.
After a while, Lu Wen couldn't help it again and asked, "But, General, how could the master let you buy medicinal materials this time?" ”
In the past, when they went on the expedition, the master also gave medicine, but most of them were directly given to the army in the name of Hongji Temple.
"The master wants to personally prepare some medicine and let me take it away, the master acts with reason, and it is not something that ordinary people like you and me can understand."
"Also, the master is a high-ranking monk, and he has his own fate in his actions, and it is indeed not something that we can understand." Lu Wen felt that what Lu Zheng said was also reasonable, so he didn't ask anymore.
After about half an hour, the shopkeeper came out.
Returning the medicine list to Lu Zheng, the shopkeeper said: "General, most of the medicinal materials on it have been prepared, but there are still a few medicinal herbs that are not available in the shop. ”
"What are they?" Lu Zheng asked.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he replied, "It is the Nine Dead Soul Grass (Note 1), tiger bones, and ambergris." ”
These three things are already rare, and the last one is a royal product, except in the palace, there is no need to think about other places.
"Okay, I know, I'll figure out these things myself, give me everything you have prepared first."
"Yes, General."
When the shopkeeper heard Lu Zheng say this, he didn't insist, turned around and took the medicinal materials.
After a while, the shopkeeper took out the wrapped medicinal materials with two apprentices and handed them to Lu Zheng and Lu Wen.
The medicinal materials have been wrapped, and the names of the medicinal materials have been written on each medicine package, which shows that the shopkeeper's work is also careful and reliable.
Lu Zheng and Lu Wen took the medicinal herbs and left the pharmacy.
"You come with me to the Wenguo Mansion." Putting the medicine bag on the horse, Lu Zheng said to Lu Wen.
"Yes, General."
Lu Wen didn't ask, what to do in the Wenguo Mansion, anyway, Lu Zheng told him to go, he just followed, and the general always did the right thing.
turned over and got on the horse, Lu Zheng and Lu Wence went to the Wenguo Mansion.
When he arrived at the door of the Wenguo Mansion, he handed over the horses to the porter first, and Wen Tiankuo, the housekeeper of the Wenfu, greeted him.
"I don't know Lu Shizi, Vice General Lu is here, and if you miss the distance, please don't blame the two of you." Steward Wen saluted the two of them with fists.
"Uncle Wen is polite, it was Lu Zheng who came suddenly, I came to find Brother Yunting, I don't know if Brother Yunting is in the house?" Steward Wen can also be regarded as watching Lu Zheng grow up, so although Lu Zheng's Uncle Wen is a little raised, he can bear it.
Wen Tao doesn't know what he's been busy with lately, and he often doesn't see anyone.
Speaking of which, they hadn't seen each other for three days, so Lu Zheng wasn't sure if Wen Tao was at home.
"The second young master is here, Lu Shizi, Vice General Lu is here, please, the old slave will take the two to the courtyard of the second young master." As he spoke, Steward Wen made a respectful gesture to Lu Zheng and Lu Wen.
Then he recruited a small servant and told him to hurry up and send a letter to Wen Tao, saying that Lu Zheng and Lu Wen came to visit him in the house.
The little servant obeyed the order, and after saluting, he trotted to report the news.
Lu Zheng and Lu Wen followed Steward Wen and walked unhurriedly towards Wen Tao's courtyard.
They came suddenly, and they didn't send a letter in advance, and they had to give Wen Tao time to prepare, so the three of them deliberately slowed down.
Although the relationship between Lu Zheng and Wen Tao is not necessary to stick to these, it is always in someone else's house, and there should always be some rules.
