Chapter 374: Finding a Prescription
Cui'er was very busy, and after knowing that Lian Qingshan might be about to leave for the northwest, she became extremely busy.
Her busyness is mainly around Lian Qingshan, around Lian Qingshan's present, and around Lian Qingshan's future. As long as it's about Lian Qingshan, no matter what it is, Cui'er has to circle around her mind a few times.
Every morning, the first thing Cui'er did after opening her eyes was to circle around Lian Qingshan. diligently took out the clothes he had selected for him yesterday and helped him put them on with his own hands.
In the past, even Qingshan's own hair bunching, Cui'er began to take over. After accompanying him to breakfast, he sent him to the weeping flower gate, and after earnestly instructing, he watched him ride a horse.
After Lian Qingshan went to the Yamen, Cui'er began her busy day with other things. In order to let Lian Qingshan come back from the battlefield alive, he was busy.
When Lian Qingshan was about to leave the government in the evening, Cui'er would put aside all other things and cook one or two home-cooked dishes for Lian Qingshan herself, and wait for him to go home to eat with him. When Lian Qingshan was busy with military affairs, Cui'er had time to talk with the children or do other things.
The focus of Cui'er's life during this period of time is very simple, there are only two. One is to make Lian Qingshan feel extremely warm in the days when he is at home; One is to let Lian Qingshan get more protection during the time he is away on the expedition.
The three armies did not move the grain and grass first, this is true for the whole country, and the same is true for Cui'er's small family. Even Qingshan wants to go to the battlefield, and the silver ticket may not be of great use, but medicines, food and other materials are extremely useful, and the silver money that can buy these necessary materials is before this big event. It's becoming more and more important.
Cui'er spent a whole day carefully sorting out all the money in the family now, and saw how much money she could dispose of and how much money she could bring back for Lian Qingshan's life on the battlefield.
Cui'er pondered carefully. From the very beginning of the mountain to save up, to the parents after entering Beijing, and then to the big girl and Xiaohu back to the Dingguo Mansion, the thank you gift of the Dingguo Mansion, and before I moved, my father and mother secretly gave the private money.
Cui'er's hand. There are a lot of silver tickets and the like, not to mention anything else, just talking about the thank you gift sent by the Dingguo Mansion, there are 3,000 taels of silver tickets, and my father has added 5,000 taels of private money. Coupled with the silver that Cui'er had before, Cui'er had more than 9,000 taels of silver in her hand.
So much silver, it was left after sending Huiya home and pasting her more than 1,000 taels of silver. If it weren't for Huiya, the silver ticket and cash in Cui'er's hand would probably cost more than 10,000 taels, so much savings, Rao is one of those big families in Beijing. It's not necessarily as good as Cui'er.
These, not counting the land in Cui'er's hands, not to mention anything else. Let's just say that the courtyard of this Lianfu is now worth at least three thousand taels, and the furnishings in it add up to more than ten thousand taels. There is also a grange of fifty acres of land in the south, all of which are fertile land, and they are worth a thousand taels of silver.
Today's Cui'er. It is said that it is full of money, but it is not false at all. Therefore, when she was preparing to give Lian Qingshan something to requisition, she was also very good. Afford to spend money.
In addition to leaving the 1,000 taels of silver for food, drink and clothing in the family for the next three years, Cui'er has already made up her mind to scatter all the remaining 8,000 taels of silver. Stay in Qingshan, don't worry about no firewood, Cui'er now feels that this is no longer right, as long as even Qingshan is still there, the silver can be earned back.
Because of the determination to sprinkle silver, the matter of preparing things for Lian Qingshan's expedition was carried out very quickly.
In addition to her own plans, Cui'er took a lot of scriptures from Madame Hu and Madame Qu, the most important of which was that when preparing things for the march, she should bring more medicine and dry food.
When you go out, there will be some bumps, let alone going into battle to kill the enemy? A good bottle of gold sore medicine may be able to save a life, so this medicine or something, but the most important thing.
At this time, Cui'er remembered Xian Yunzi, although Xian Yunzi is not very good on weekdays, but I don't know if it is because people who practice martial arts are often injured, and the gold sore medicine he prepared is better than others.
It's just that Xianyunzi stayed in one place for a short time, and when Cui'er gave birth to a child and couldn't make anything to eat during confinement, the old man couldn't bear to leave a letter and ran out, and he hasn't come back yet.
Cui'er sighed, Xianyunzi Lao Dao may not be where he is at this time, I'm afraid I can't count on it.
Fortunately, I got experience from the two sisters-in-law, and I knew that the most famous person in Beijing who made gold sore medicine was Jin Langzhong. Uncle Pai Zhong, who was in a hurry, posted a post to Jin Langzhong, wanting to set a large number of gold sore medicines, as well as daily medicines and the like.
After Uncle Zhong got Cui'er's instructions, he went out early in the morning, and returned to Lianfu before noon, reporting a news that made Cui'er panic. That Jin Langzhong has been well-known in the capital for a long time, because of the Northwest War, he has been summoned by the official family a few months ago to supervise the production of military medicine for the northwest, and he is already an official, and now he is on duty in the Soldiers and Horses Division every day, and he can't spare time to take over the business of gold sore medicine.
Without the good gold sore medicine made in Jin Langzhong, isn't it to miss Lian Qingshan's life? When Cui'er was in a hurry, there was news from Aunt Zhong'er, saying that Miss Huiya had written a letter. Cui'er was not in the mood to read the letter at this time, but her concern for Huiya still overcame her panic, she hurriedly tore open the envelope and unfolded the letterhead, and after looking at it for a while, she actually smiled.
"Quick, call Uncle Zhong and go to Liujia Lane in the south of the city, and find an old man surnamed Liu, about fifty or sixty years old, who had worked for decades in the family of Jin Langzhong, who made gold sore medicine, and was dismissed from his home a while ago." The smile on Cui'er's face was wide, as if she saw infinite hope.
"No, Uncle Zhong prepares the car, I'll go by myself!" Cui'er hurriedly put away the letter paper and put it in her arms, and asked Xiangmo and Xiangye to take a hundred taels of silver. I carried another five hundred taels of silver tickets on my body, and Rao didn't think these were enough, so I took two more silver tickets of five hundred taels and put them away carefully.
Sitting on the carriage heading to Nancheng, Cui'er's eyes burned brightly. From the letter written by Huiya. Cui'er knew that the old man Liu in Liujia Lane was the original pharmacy manager of the Jin family, who was the most famous for making gold sore medicine before.
Cui'er knew that the shopkeeper Liu might not be as good as the genuine Jin Langzhong, but the decades of this pharmacy shopkeeper should not be in vain, and Xu Shi would have some ability. As long as the gold sore medicine made by this shopkeeper is stronger than that of others, and can add a little help to Lian Qingshan when he is on the battlefield, Cui'er will be satisfied.
The carriage strode towards the southern city. It wasn't until half an hour later that I walked to Liujia Lane. When he arrived at Liujia Lane, Uncle Zhong jumped down from the carriage and looked left and right, and couldn't help frowning.
He didn't go directly to the carriage behind him to return to Cui'er's words, but walked up to a sad-faced passer-by. I asked for the way and determined that this boundary was Liujia Lane, but whether there was a medicine maker in the alley, the person didn't know.
Uncle Zhong asked several people one after another, and got the same answer, and he couldn't ask anything else if he wanted to ask again, so he turned back to the side of Cui'er's carriage and replied to Cui'er.
"Madam, this Liujia Lane has arrived. But this realm is pickled, why don't you let me go over and take a look first. Uncle Zhong looked at the appearance of Liujia Lane, and his face was wrinkled.
"Now that it's here. How can there be a reason not to get off the car if you don't like the land boundary is not good. As Cui'er spoke, Xiangye and Xiangying had already lifted the curtain of the carriage, put down the footstool, and helped Cui'er get out of the carriage.
When Cui'er really stood on the ground of this Liujia Lane, she knew that the boundary that Uncle Zhong said was pickled, and it was not suitable for her to go in. What exactly does that mean.
I saw that the so-called Liujia Lane was actually just a small alley one meter wide. On both sides of the alley are adobe and straw houses and courtyard walls, and the roofs of the houses are made of straw or straw. It looks poor.
But this is not the reason why Uncle Zhong said that the boundary is pickled, I don't know if this small alley is because of rain or some other reason, and more than half of the one-meter-wide path is filled with sewage.
The black and green sewage flowed sideways, and there were half-rotten vegetable sticks, chicken feathers or bird feathers that I don't know where they came from, all of which exuded a strong sour and rotten smell. Cui'er covered her nose with her hands, because in addition to the sour smell in the air, there was also a bitter smell that made people smell uncomfortably.
Seeing that there is not much place to put down on this less than 100-meter-long path, such a scene makes Cui'er, a woman who has been honed for a long time in modern times and has worked hard in the backing mountain for two years, is a little unbearable, let alone others.
"Miss, let's go, shall we?" Xiangye covered her mouth with a handkerchief, retched uncomfortably twice, and looked at Cui'er with tears in her eyes. Although Xiangye is a slave, she was also raised in the Huxi Ye family, and she is much more pampered than the young lady of a small family, where has she suffered like this.
Not to mention Xiangye, even Xiangying, who grew up in the mountains since she was a child, looked at this small alley with a frowning face and a look of embarrassment.
At this moment, Cui'er's heart is also in the battle between heaven and man, this simple alley is indeed the Liujia Lane that Huiya said, and if it is really as Huiya said, there should be a capable person in Liujia Lane who can make good gold sore medicine.
If he takes a step forward and gives it a try, he may really be able to find such a person, and Lian Qingshan will have a few more chances of surviving on the battlefield. If you are afraid of this scene and go home, you may not experience this disgusting place, but ...... Cui'er shook her head, she couldn't bear the possibility of losing Lian Qingshan, absolutely not, even if this trip was in vain, even if there was no Liu shopkeeper she was looking for in this alley, then she had to find it!
Cui'er's expression suddenly became firm, and she frowned and looked at the small alley in front of her, although the alley was full of water, she could still see a place to stay. As long as you are careful, you can still walk in slowly.
And in this alley, there are only about a dozen families on the left and right, if you find out about these ten or so families, and you can't find anyone, Cui'er feels that she can die.
Cui'er made up her mind, slowly lifted her long skirt, and walked forward firmly in the eyes of everyone. (To be continued)
