Chapter 66: East Wing Pharmacy
Mengxi entered the ancestral hall of the clan, stepped forward to take the incense on the table, lit it in front of the oil lamp, and did not bow according to the etiquette taught by Mama, but knelt directly on the futon and said:
"The concubine Mengxi visited the ancestors of the Xiao family, please forgive Mengxi's disrespectful sin, Mengxi is indeed born to her aunt, her status is humble, only because of the accident Chong Xi Dai's sister married into the Xiao family, Mengxi knows that the desire for profit is a fire pit, greedy and indulgent for the sea of suffering, no intention to covet the wealth of the Xiao family, just want to have a place in the Xiao Mansion, and no intention to offend the ancestral teachings of the Xiao family, let alone become the housewife of the Xiao family, I hope that the ancestors of the Xiao family will look at Mengxi's sake for Xiao Jun's life, bless Mengxi when he goes to the court, don't embarrass Mengxi, Let Mengxi leave the Xiao Mansion safely, from now on, the marriage of men and women has nothing to do with each other, the great kindness of the ancestors, Mengxi will repay each other forever"
After speaking, he twisted the incense, bowed three times, got up and inserted the incense into the incense burner, glanced at the tablet of the ancestors of the Xiao family, turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall slowly.
At the strong light outside the door, he squinted his eyes for a while, and then he got used to it, and saw the eldest lord and the patriarchs of the Xiao clan standing under the scorching sun, sweating all over their heads, but they had a solemn and solemn face, and they did not tolerate the pious appearance of Qiu Xian, Mengxi did not feel ashamed, look at the sky, fortunately there was no cloud today, otherwise the thunder would have been split down a long time ago.
Walking off the platform slowly, a mother-in-law had already come to help Mengxi get on the sedan chair, the patriarchs also got on the sedan chair, and the group walked slowly towards the Xiao Mansion, with the pair of dark red doors behind them slowly closing, this gorgeous wedding was finally completed, but can she and him be so successful in the wedding, it is worth looking forward to!
……
Mengxi reclined on the soft collapse, holding a book, Zhiqiu sat on the embroidery pier next to him, and said while embroidering his purse:
"Since the second grandmother moved to the East Wing, the second master has moved back to the East Wing, and when I didn't go to the Red Jade House, today is just over half a month, I don't know if the second master will go to that garden first? The slave guessed that it would be Aunt Li's chrysanthemum garden. ”
"In the future, the second master will go to that garden, and you don't have to report it to me, by the way, the pharmacy for dispensing medicine in the backyard will be cleaned up."
"It's cleaned up, it's all changed according to the drawings and requirements drawn by the second grandmother, and the second grandmother has time to go over and take a look, and now it can be used directly to dispense medicine"
"That's good, the second master hasn't asked about this again?"
"No, it's just that the eldest lady sent someone to ask, and the slave maid has replied to them that they only found a few small maids to clear the mud in the back pond hall, and the flowers on the side of the pond hall were moved to the place, and some other flowers and plants were planted, but it happened that the big lady sent someone to come on the day the small maid was clearing the silt, and they looked over and didn't say anything, by the way, the second grandmother, the eldest lady's people saw that we planted some bamboo, and they all laughed at us, saying that the bamboo in the south could not be supported at all, and the second grandmother would think of some strange things when she was idle at home, wasting silver, Nothing else was said other than that. ”
"That's good, don't pay attention to them, the bamboo will be raised according to the way I said, wait for the forest, just cover the pharmacy, ordinary people just go by accident, and they can't find the things behind the bamboo forest, and the smell of medicine is not easy to disperse, by the way, the back yard is big, in addition to flowers, plant medicinal herbs, pick up the strong smell of the plant, so as not to be suspicious of the smell of medicine in the backyard, outsiders are I like to make medicinal food, so I planted these things, by the way, the craftsman who cleaned up the pharmacy can be dotted?"
"It's still the second grandmother's brain, thinking so thoroughly, the slave maid is ready to arrange, the craftsman who cleaned up the house is the slave's brother specially found it from outside the house, the silver we paid, the slave and maid all mentioned them when they left, and they won't talk nonsense."
"That's good, you must be very careful about this matter, you tell to go down, let Zhixia and them take care of it, in the future, the back garden of this east chamber is a forbidden place, no one is allowed to enter, even if the second master wants to enter, he must try to stop it"
"The slave maid has already told Zhixia that the slave's brother has sent a letter in the morning, and the medicine hall has been almost renovated, and I want the second grandmother to choose a good day to open, and I asked the grandmother if she can go over the opening day?"
"Let Li Du order the day, I just went out of the house, I'm afraid that the old lady will be favored, and I can't let it out anymore, even if I go out, I can't blatantly pass over, you want to find a way to go over that day, just come back and tell me, how is the medicine dispensed?"
"The slave's brother said that he has accepted a large number of schoolchildren according to your wishes, most of them are homeless children living on the streets, and a few of them are very clever and are being adjusted, according to the prescription you provided, the first batch of medicine has been processed almost, and the processed medicine will be shipped in these two days, so that you can make the final preparation, this batch of medicine is made, just in time for the opening."
It turned out that when Mengxi was providing the prescription, she remembered the mansion she had seen in her previous life, and understood that the rise and fall of a medicine hall depended on the secret recipe of the medicine, and there was no such thing as a patent protection law in this ancient world, and once the effect of the pills she made was spread, there would definitely be people who wanted to get the secret recipe, she didn't believe Li Du and his son, but knew that this was ancient after all, some people did not achieve their goals, and they would never give up, and they might not use any extraordinary means, she didn't point to Li Du and his son that they could be the modern Liu Hulan, One of the steel and iron bones, swore allegiance to her, so in the end, it was decided that in addition to some simple commonly used varieties, the most critical step in the preparation process of other medicines was mastered by her, and the Li family father and son were only responsible for processing semi-finished products.
"Okay, you must be careful when this medicine enters and leaves the house, you can buy your own people on the second door"
"The slave and maid have thought about it, and said that the slave maid's mother sent someone to send some things to the slave and maid, and the pillars and dogs on the second door are all our people, and they were originally bullied by each room, seeing that the slave and maid really care about them, and know that the slave and maid are your people, not to mention being more interested in the slave and maid, it is no problem to send something small to send a letter or something on weekdays, but in the future, our medicine hall will be open normally, and there will be frequent exchanges, and we have to think of another way, otherwise, the eldest lady will always find out.
"That's good, these two people should be together in the future, don't be afraid of spending money, other people should also be dotted from time to time, it is best to do it in the future, the two of us often go out of the house to play, no problem, as for that method, I have been thinking about it, I can't think of it now, think about it slowly in the future, and I am not in a hurry at this time"
Zhiqiu heard this, stared at the second grandmother with her eyes, and said in her heart: This second grandmother's courage is dried to catch up with the nest melon, and she is so careful when she does things on weekdays, she is afraid of hitting her head if she drops a leaf, how can she have such a deviant idea? This serious girl's daughter doesn't go out of the door!
"Second grandmother, don't have this kind of thought, if you let the eldest lady know, you will say that you don't abide by women's morals, and you must not pick the skin of the slave?"
