Chapter 64: Delivering Medicine
(pink 650 plus)
February 16, spring morning, still a little cold, Chen Qu hit the water brought in, after the jade washed, sat in front of the dressing table, the bun was reversed, picked a set of three pieces of green beaded hairpins pinned to the bun, and on the ears with a pair of small white orchid pendants, with eyebrows and ink on the eyebrows lightly dizzy, some more and more charming peach blossom eyes were pressed, and became much quieter.
Chen Qu took the dress on the couch and helped her wear it, the onion and lotus root skirt, the color is not as fashionable as the current show, but it is a rare color on the street, and she helped Yiyu tie the skirt belt, she took two steps back and stood away, and looked at it, only to feel that her own lady had lost the generosity and extravagance of the afternoon before yesterday, and she looked like a literary lady, and she was the kind of person who would be very good at writing poetry and painting.
Yi Yu glanced at the mirror, then walked to the desk under the window, picked up a half-foot-long brocade box placed on it, and said to Chen Qu:
"Let's see if Yu Tong has prepared the carriage, I'll go to my mother's with breakfast."
Chen Qu responded, and went out of the house, Yi Yu walked behind her, went to Lu's place, and when she entered the house, she heard the girl's coquettish laughter, raised her eyebrows, bypassed the screen, and saw Han Shiyu holding Lu's arm, sitting on the bench, leaning forward and closing her smile, but as soon as she came in, she immediately sat up straight and smiled.
"Mother." Yi Yu asked for a gift in a proper manner, then sat down on the empty chair on the side, looked at Han Shiyu, bent his eyes, and said:
"What do you mean to be happy about?"
Han Shiyu snorted lightly, then let go of the Lu clan and stood up, "I'm going to see my father." β
Seeing her leave, Lu Shi shook his head helplessly, beckoned to Yi Yu, motioned for her to sit over, and said, "I saw that she had a worse temper in the past two days, and she didn't even say hello when I saw you, what's wrong?" β
Yi Yu knew that Han Shiyu was for Du Ruojin's business, so he gave himself a face, anyway, he didn't think there was anything to separate from her, so he didn't care, and said:
"I don't know, Xu said something that provoked her again, by the way, let's eat early later, I have something to go to Beijing."
Lu's face changed slightly, "Didn't my mother say it, don't worry about this dowry, you just need to do the embroidery work that you sew, and you don't have to worry about the rest-where is the reason for the daughter's family to handle the dowry by themselves, the letter to Yangzhou has been sent, and the mother said to Mrs. Zhou again, discuss the details with her today, and go to the shop in the Eastern Metropolis tomorrow, pick the craft, invite two goldsmiths, andββ"
"Mother," Yi Yu interrupted her funny when she saw that Lu Shi looked like she was going to steal business with her, "I'm going to go to the Literature Museum to have a look, although I don't study in Guozijian, but I still have to take a part in the writing of books, and I'm going to go on a tour, and now the Literature Museum is finishing the draft, His Royal Highness said that day, you want me to take time to go over in the next few days, and I want to go and see if the weather is good this morning." β
Lu Shi's face looked better, and when he saw the box she put on the desk, he asked, "What is this?" β
"Oh, give it away." Yu Yu replied casually.
Lu Shi only thought that she had made something to take to Li Tai, so he didn't ask much, and told her a few words, Xiao Man took someone to put it in the front hall early, the mother and daughter ate and finished eating, and Yu Yu went out with the box, Han Li came over, and when he entered the house, he saw Lu Shi taking a pen and paper and writing and drawing, and when he looked closer, he found that he was settling accounts.
Lu Shi only glanced up at him, then lowered his head again, Han Li sat down opposite her, and said warmly and good-naturedly:
"What is this?"
"My daughter's dowry." When Lu Shi talked to him, he didn't have a good face when others were there, and he was neither salty nor light.
"Do you want me to help you with your staff?"
Lu Shi ticked off a few more wrong numbers, changed a piece of paper, and shook his head while proofreading, "No, my Yu'er has nothing to do with you, you are not her elder, don't worry," paused, looked up at him, and said:
"You don't want to take the opportunity to play any ghost ideas, we said on the way, I'll let you follow, you have to let me and my Yu'er be together."
Facing her extremely serious and stubborn eyes, Han Li's eyes softened, and he raised his hand to touch his nose in a sneer, and said:
"I still have an asset, if you want to use the money, I can give it to you, Yu'er has nothing to do with me, but you have something to do with me."
Lu Shi lowered his head and continued to settle the score, a silent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his voice was normal: "You are you, I am me." β
It's still morning, in a top-notch romantic place like Kuixing Tower, there are not many guests in the hall on the first floor, and most of the private rooms on the second floor have not woken up with a hangover last night.
There is a honey fragrance circulating in the room, sweet and silky, a little greasy, I heard the bead curtain "da-da", and smelled a laugh, Yiyu put down the teaglass, stood up from the seat, turned around and saw a woman in an orange shirt ** half-wiped curtain walked in.
"Hehe, what kind of wind is blowing today, why does my sister have time to think of coming to me?"
"Sister Chu," Yi Yu smiled back, and was pulled down by Chu Buliu, looked her up and down, adjusted her clothes affectionately, and said:
"You have been men's clothes a few times, quite pretty, this is a woman's clothes, and a beauty, you are born well, but don't waste this skin, a few days ago from Luoyang sent a fresh lipstick over, specially brought to a few ladies who often come, it is the best fat powder master with flower juice, I send some with you to try, if you like, just come to me in the future."
The two of them have met four times, but Chu does not leave such a close attitude, but he is not pretentious at all, Yi Yu's eyes flashed, and there was a smile in his eyes, and he said:
"I'm embarrassed to take you, but today is a return gift."
As he spoke, he took the brocade box that he put aside, and when he opened it, on the yellow silk cloth inside, there were four porcelain vases of different sizes, two with thin necks and two with round bellies.
"What is this?" Chu asked without leaving any doubts, Rao is she is exquisite, and she can't guess what is inside.
Unhurriedly, Yi Yu picked up the thin-necked bottle first, uncorked it, handed it to her, and explained:
"Last time I came, I met a few drunk guests, crazy downstairs, I think this kind of thing will happen often, both make a scene, and uncomfortable the guests themselves, this bottle is filled with anti-hangover pills, don't talk big, even if you drink two jars of pure wine, as long as you take a grain with warm water, there will be no more vomiting, you will wake up after tea, and you will not have a headache and thirst after staying overnight, except for a slight lack of limbs, it is no different from usual, if there are drunk guests in the future, you may wish to take a pill."
Chu Buliu was surprised, poured out a pill the size of a small fingernail, sniffed it, put it back again, thought about it for a while, raised his voice to call a maid outside the door, handed over the medicine bottle, explained a few words, and after someone went to do it, he first smiled apologetically at Yiyu, which meant that he was puzzled and self-explanatory, and pointed to the other pair of bottles.
"What about this?"
"Can you give me a consultation?" Yi Yu said, seeing that Chu nodded in confusion, he pinched his finger and put it on her wrist to test for a while, and after a few taps, he let go, stared at the bottom of her eyes for a while, and recognized the slight cyan under the cover of the incense powder, and said:
"The last time I came, I found that your complexion was not as good as before, it must be because you have been drinking strong liquor a lot recently, and the food is fishy, and you will only rest at night, so the liver fire is too strong, the liver qi is insufficient, and the kidney qi is not solid, you will be irritable and irritable, the eyes will be dizzy, the skin fat is slightly dry, the diarrhea is not clear, and you often have insomnia."
Chu Buliu wrote his surprise on his face, because the symptoms described by Yu Yu were not bad at all, "How did I not know that you still have this ability, it is not bad with what Doctor Ji of Tong'an Tang said, I will not tell you, I only went to him last month for a consultation, and wrote a prescription, I have been eating for a month, except that I have slept better, but the symptoms have not been much lesser." β
Yi Yu smiled secretly, the doctor's prescription in the medical hall, serious illness is not heavy pharmacology, although it is the right medicine, but a few will be like Chu Buliu, because the skin has deteriorated, they will go to the doctor, there is no patient, there is no way to find it, the medicine prescribed to her is also aimed at insomnia, which will make her eat for a month, and nothing else will get better.
Yi Yu picked up a round-bellied porcelain bottle and opened it, and poured out a light brown pill, the size of a small fingernail, "You might as well try the Lurong Pill I concocted, take one pill early every day, it will be effective in three or five days, this pill has no side effects, the taste is slightly sweet, you can eat it as a jelly bean, remember not to take more." β
"Thank you for still remembering me," Chu Buliu had a thank you on his face, he was half-convinced, he took the vial and smelled it for a while, it didn't have any special taste, even the medicinal gas was very light.
At this time, the maid who had just gone out with the wine pill knocked on the door and came in, hurriedly walked to Chu Buliu, took the small bottle with a thin neck, lowered her head and whispered a few times in her ear.
"Go and bring a set of the newly imported lipstick," Chu Buliu took two medicine bottles in his hand, looked down for a while, and looked up at Yu Yu again, "I will accept your gift." β
Seeing that her attitude was not as eager as she was just now, Yu Yu didn't care, Gu Gu had been testing medicine with Xiao Fei and other famous doctors for half a year, how many strange flowers and herbs had been wasted, and the day and night pharmaceutical research in the six edicts with abundant medicinal herb resources was not fake, and the thick two-volume pharmacological manuscript was not fake, she was no longer the little medicine apprentice who had just entered the threshold, and many of the prescriptions in her hands had never been seen or heard outside. She has absolute confidence in the drugs she makes.
Chu Buliu put away the medicine bottle, refilled a cup of tea for Yiyu, and mentioned another matter: "I heard about something, I don't know if it's true or not, I asked, if it's my hearsay, don't be annoyed." β
Yiyu nodded, motioned for her to ask, and listened to her: Yes, the emperor issued an edict and pointed out that you should be the princess of His Royal Highness King Wei? β
"It's true."
"ThisβThis is a really happy event, congratulations"
Yi Yu looked at the surprise in her eyes, couldn't tell if it was really false, picked up the cup and brought it to her lips, and covered up her thoughts by drinking tea, "Thank you." β
Happy, Chu Buliu suddenly changed his words and said:
"The night before yesterday, there was a girl in the building who came to me to say, there were guests who said that they drank a kind of snake gall wine at the banquet of King Wei, and after a few days, their eyes became better, I didn't believe it at first, but then a few guests also said so, the Tao was originally held in the hand to see the book, put it on the table to understand, yesterday there was a group of guests to drink, named to drink snake gall wine. It's not an exaggeration, our wine cellar in Kuixinglou has hundreds of kinds of wines, but there is no snake gall wine, even if there is, how can it have that obvious effect, I originally planned to ask the Wei Wangfu to ask, how do I know that you will send it to the doorββ"
She rolled her eyes and leaned into Yi Yu, "Sister, I have the cheekiness to ask you, how much snake gall is there?" β
Yi Yu didn't expect the name of this snake gall wine to spread so quickly, she looked at the inquiry in Chu Buliu's eyes, knew what she was thinking, shook her head and said:
"It was made of snake gall from a giant python, there wasn't much, and I drank two jars for the guests that day, and there wasn't much left."
Seeing that Chu Buliu showed regret on his face, he continued: "But if my sister wants to try it, I still have a jar there that has not been touched, and I can give it to you." β
"What's so embarrassing?" Chu didn't stay and made it difficult.
Yi Yu shook his head, "What's so embarrassing about this, compared to the sharp weapons and gold sore medicine you gave me last time, I should be embarrassed to be right, not to mention that snake gall wine, if you drink too much, the effect will be weak, and the eyes of the guests who come to you are not good, and the effect of the medicine will be significant." β
"Then it's disrespectful." A jar of wine, to say the least, can produce about 20 cups per day, such a rare thing, that is, the less the more expensive.
After a while, a maid sent a salva over, four colors, light pink, pink, orange, red, red, the color is very positive, all in a thumb-thick ivory tube, at a glance it is a rare thing, the jade accepted it politely, chatted with her a few words, and got up to say goodbye.
After she left, Chu Buliu held the brocade box containing the medicine and walked towards the backyard with a heavy heart.
On the other hand, the remnant jade out of the gate of the Kuixing Building, no carriage to pick up, walked to the west, today is sixteen, daytime to see a female guest out of the building, the nearby pedestrians are not unusual, only look at the slender woman wearing a green onion gauze to cover her face, wearing a lotus skirt a few more glances.
As she walked, she pondered Chu Buliu's words today, what is the connection between Kui Xinglou and the palace, why did Chu Buliu have kindness to her, and what was the reason for Lu Zhi's death?
She sent medicine, in addition to investigating the other party's attitude, there was another purpose, and her marriage with Li Tai was bound to push her on the cusp, so she did not shy away from letting people know that she was good at medicine, not to mention, with her current weight, in the eyes of the person in the palace, aside from Li Tai, I think it is no different from a small ant, a person who controls the world, how can he care about what an ant is doing?
Today, acting through Kui Xinglou, putting a long line to catch a big fish, maybe it is a tiger skin, but it is not impossible to get, Mrs. Zhou said well - everything has gains and losses, as long as the gains exceed the losses, it is feasible.
When she walked to the west exit, she saw Yu Tong driving a carriage to pick her up, and Yu Yu got into the car, took off the yarn, and asked the other person in the car.
"But it's done?"
"Well, when those children saw that the slaves and maids sang well, they all gathered around, and I heard that someone could sing along, so I changed places and went everywhere in total."
"Okay." Yi Yu leaned against the wall of the car, rubbed the yarn in his hand, closed his eyes, covered the impetuosity, and was eager to see the person in his heart, so that he could be at ease.
"Yu Tong, hurry up."
