Chapter 24: Unpreparedness
On Mrs. Zhou's guest list, there were only three people, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Ma, and Mrs. Chen.
Aunt Zhang looked at the list of guests and said to Zhang Jinwen, "Jin'er, I'm afraid that only Mrs. Zhou will come here alone." ”
Zhang Jinwen stared at the guest list for a few moments and said, "Aunt Zhang, it will not be three people who will come at that time, but three families.
Now you hurry to buy ingredients with Bamboo Shadow and Bamboo Core, now that there are fewer and fewer vendors, it will be too late if you don't prepare. ”
Aunt Zhang was convinced and went out to Zhang Luo.
Zhang Jinwen asked Zhu Qing: "Senior Brother Zhu Qing, does Liu Qing have any news recently?" ”
Zhu Qing shook his head: "He seems to have disappeared, and there is no movement in Lord Fang's house." Jin'er, don't worry, Zhongnan Mountain, as well as in the capital, I will pay close attention. ”
Zhang Jinwen: "Senior Brother Zhufeng, the guest of the twenty-ninth month of Layue, there are more than 20 people in the three families, plus the maid servant's entourage, Lala is miscellaneous, there are seventy or eighty people, are you busy?" ”
Zhufeng said: "Jin'er, you can rest assured, and when the time comes, it will be foolproof." ”
Zhufeng and Zhuqing reassured her in unison. Zhang Jinwen has to rest assured if she is not at ease, she must put all her mind on the preparation of the new medicinal powder.
According to the formula of the Liu family's injury medicine in her memory, she has already configured a medicine, and after testing, it is not as easy to use as Liu Qing's medicine powder.
Zhang Jinwen was a little anxious, she kept adjusting the formula, making detailed records and comparisons, but there was still no progress.
She remembered that Liu Qing had developed a new drug based on the formula she said, so why couldn't she make it herself? Could it be that Liu Qing is hiding something from her?
With her understanding of Liu Qing, it is entirely possible.
While Zhang Jinwen was thinking about it, Liu Qing was also studying hard in a remote hut in Chang'an City, studying hard for the future.
After some careful consideration, Fang Qu asked Liu Qing to visit Tai Tai Hospital's Doctor Liu as his teacher, and then asked Tai Doctor Liu to recommend him to Tai Hospital.
Doctor Liu is also good at traumatology in Tai Hospital, and has many contacts with hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China, and has an excellent reputation, and he has also heard of the Liu family's injury medicine in Kaifeng.
Liu Qing took the line of Taiyi Liu, which is equivalent to obtaining the entry license of Tai Hospital.
In order to be able to smoothly carry out interpersonal relationships after entering the Tai Hospital, Liu Qing specially asked Tai Yi Liu to take a set of textbooks of the Tai Yi Department, and took advantage of the winter vacation of the Tai Yi Department to study hard.
Liu Qing has not received too high a cultural education since he was a child, and he has almost never touched several medical books of the Imperial Medical Department.
However, Liu Qing is very hardworking, and his memory is also very strong, and in less than ten days, he has been able to memorize "Su Wen".
Fang Qu was very satisfied with this, even if Liu Qing couldn't enter the Tai Hospital, he could enter the Tai Medical Department, but he would just enter the Tai Hospital a year or two later.
Liu Qing understands that with his current ability and qualifications, he is completely unworthy of Elaine. Before he became the Fang family's quasi-son-in-law, he could be beaten back to the prototype at any time.
Water can carry boats, and water can capsize boats.
If Fang Qu can take a fancy to him, he can help him up, and if Fang Qu is not satisfied with him, he can give up on him at any time, or even let him not turn over.
In Beijing, a place that pays attention to comprehensive strength, having a backstage means having a network.
Young talents abound in the capital, in the Fang family, in the Tai Hospital, he can be replaced at any time.
If there is no support from Fang Qu, it is too early to think about fame and fortune, think about wealth and wealth, and talk about the future.
Liu Qing finally stood by the door of wealth, how could he give up easily, he didn't even want to have any idea of failure.
Every time he picks up the rice bowl, Liu Qing will think of the dishes in the Xinglin Restaurant, where there is a vague smell of medicine, and the seamless pharmacological combination makes him both fascinated and afraid.
Liu Qing also secretly walked around the Xinglin Pavilion afterwards. Xinglin Pavilion is located in the middle of nowhere, inaccessible, except for the soldiers on patrol, except for the guests who go to eat, there are no idle people waiting to pass by at the door.
He didn't dare to approach easily, and the more he observed, the more frightened he became.
He always felt that the Xinglin Pavilion was secretly killing.
Moreover, this killing machine is aimed at him.
There must be some secret in the Xinglin Pavilion.
Liu Qing didn't dare to mention to Lord Fang that the food in the Xinglin Pavilion was actually medicinal food, let alone the killing machine he perceived.
If he is in a hurry to find out, or if he shows that he is aware, he is likely to put himself in a passive position, or even die.
He secretly swore that he would definitely appear in front of the world as an imperial doctor, or even as an imperial doctor.
Let the killing machine become your own vitality, and let the resistance become your own help.
He also wants to return to Kaifeng in a beautiful manner, return to the Liu family compound, let his grandfather take a look, let his father let his eldest brother and second brother take a look, and he, Liu Qing, can also write the Liu character in the history books by himself.
Neither Zhang Jinwen nor Liu Qing thought that they were already potential enemies of the other party.
On the morning of the 28th day of the lunar month, there was heavy snow in the sky, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.
Zhang Jinwen and Aunt Zhang talked around the stove, discussing how to arrange the guests who would come tomorrow.
Aunt Zhang was very worried, "Jin'er, the weather is so cold, and it's not convenient to drive, I'm afraid that even Mrs. Zhou won't come."
With so many ingredients prepared, if the guests don't come, just a few of us can eat until the beginning of spring next year. ”
Zhang Jinwen said with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, then let's eat until the beginning of spring next year, don't you think I'm thin all day long?" ”
After several years of war, the people have no livelihood, and the faces of the common people are full of sorrow.
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan vigorously expanded the territory and recruited capable people and wise men from all over the world, and the situation gradually stabilized.
The aesthetic trend of Chang'an City is to be white, fat, and fat as the standard for rich houses.
On the street, the women no longer wore curtains, but showed their round faces generously to win the admiration of others.
Zhang Jinwen is already thin and adheres to the health policy of not eating at noon, compared to the daughters who come to eat at Xinglin Pavilion, they are like bamboo poles planted in the backyard.
Aunt Zhang smiled: "Okay! Jin'er, you will also start three meals a day in the future. In the last few days, you've stayed up late on medication, and your chin has become more and more pointed. ”
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Zhu Feng ran out quickly, and soon ran back with a post, saying, "Aunt Zhang, you don't have to worry about running out of ingredients." ”
Zhang Jinwen walked to the door, it was Mrs. Zhou's maid Furong.
Furong saluted Zhang Jinwen and said with a smile: "My wife specially sent me to let me tell you that tomorrow the three ladies will come with their master."
Here's the list, please take a look.
My wife said that if you make a temporary change, it will definitely disrupt your plan, and I don't know if there are enough ingredients.
My wife asked me to bring a cart of ingredients over to see if I could use them.
My wife also asked me to ask, do you have enough people here, do you want to send someone to help? ”
