He Angelica shrank back and persuaded in a low voice: "Ancestor, you are sick, this medicine is just a temporary emergency brain-revitalizing medicine, and it is a symptom but not a cure, so you still have to take care of yourself!" ”

"Top-grade pills?!" Without waiting for the old lady to speak again, Mama Tang also shouted in a sharp voice, "Ah! The super high volume frightened He Angelica's shoulders and shook, "Third Miss, you have made a top-grade pill?" "As far as Mama Tang knows, the high-grade pills should be filtered out of the crude residue over and over again with a precision strainer, leaving the most essential part of the condensed medicinal properties, and then the special honey that is most suitable for matching the flavor medicine will be melted into the pills. Sanqingtang brings together pharmaceutical masters from the entire Yangzhou and even the entire southern region, but there are no more than ten masters who can make high-grade pills! The third lady is illiterate and does not have sophisticated pharmaceutical tools, how did she make high-grade pills?

"No, no, the ancestor and the grandmother have misunderstood," He Angelica hurriedly waved his little hand and explained, "What I'm talking about is that the more than a dozen raw materials in the pills are all 'matched' by me according to the recipe written in the book, uh, you know, to put it bluntly, it is to catch the medicine and weigh the medicine, speaking of these four pills, but I didn't make them, where do I have that ability?" This medicine is actually from the hand of a master in the Taoist temple, a few days ago she said that she was making pills, and said that if you don't give up, she will help me make it by the way, so I handed over the prepared medicine to her, and half a day later I got these four pills. ”

"Oh?" The old lady was interested, and suddenly her head was no longer dizzy, and her chest was no longer stuffy, and she asked happily, "Which master has such a miraculous skill?" Is she expensive this year? How long have you been a monk? "There is such a pharmaceutical master hidden in Yangzhou, she must dig this person to Sanqingtang, or buy a nearby house and invite her to practice there, and at the same time she can also teach her skills to others in Sanqingtang, the old lady thought excitedly.

He Danggui recalled in confusion: "Gui Geng? She was probably forty or fifty years old, but she was not easy to recognize because her face was a little bloated...... As for how long she has been a monk, it may not be short, as far as I know, Master Taichen is very good at making pills, and it seems that she still has a family history, and there are people who have become monks since her elders' generation, and they are good at alchemy medicine...... It's a shame. ”

"What a pity?" The old lady and Mama Tang asked neatly.

"Oh, I'm sorry for Master Taichen," He Angelica tilted his head, "It's a pity that such a good person and such superb medicine making skills are actually arrested by the people of the government." Those people said that she secretly refined Xingyang San and Jinfeng Yu Lusan, old ancestor, what kind of medicine is that? He Angelica asked curiously.

The faces of the old lady and Mama Tang changed from excited pink to dark black, and then to light green, and finally they both hurriedly pushed open the small wooden box that still contained three pills, and shook their hands in disgust, as if they had something dirty on their hands. The old lady whispered, "Quick, get rid of this thing!" But she didn't realize that under the stimulation of the efficacy of the drug, verbal exchanges, mood gaps, etc., her spirit is now very good, and half a moment ago she was still sick and fell on Mama Tang.

He Danggui was about to speak, and Miss Ji, who got out of the car to inspect the situation, hurriedly came back and said: "There is no pharmacy on this street, only a small Li family inn, and just now because our horses were out of control, many passers-by and vendors on this street were frightened and suffered losses. In my opinion, since the old lady and Mama Tang are both very unwell, it is better for us to stay at the inn first, and then I will go to compensate the vendors for their losses......"

"No need, the old lady is fine," Mama Tang interrupted her, "Ah Ji, you stay and deal with this matter, and later you will leave in the carriage of the third lady in the back, and we will go home for treatment first." ”

"Huh?" Miss Ji stared at the old lady, and sure enough, she saw that the old lady had recovered her vitality, and her eyes were bulging and she stared at a wooden box on the small case, so Miss Ji nodded and replied, "Oh." She wondered in her heart, but the vendors on the other side of the street were in an uproar, and she didn't bother to ask anything at the moment, so she took the money bag handed by Mama Tang and got out of the car.

Then Mama Tang raised her voice and ordered: "Turtle plate glue, let's go, we must hurry home." ”

Turtle Panglue stared bitterly, and the probe shouted: "The old lady is not good, it is not good!" Our horse's hooves won't move, what should we do, Mama Tang? ”

"Bah, bah," Mama Tang said angrily, "the old lady has just become better, you dare to say that she is not good, taming horses and driving horses is your old business, it is useless for you to tell us!" As he spoke, he took out a bunch of money from his purse and threw it to the turtle plate glue, "Go and see if they have anything to eat on the side of the road, buy it for them quickly, let's hurry!" ”

The turtle plate glued the hanging copper coin, but still crying and mourning, pointed to the three horses in front of the car and said: "You didn't understand my words, Mama, our horses don't 'don't want to' go, they 'won't' go, they are fixed there like stone stakes!" ”

Mama Tang was about to scold him for not talking nonsense, but found that the three horses were really standing there motionless as the turtle plate glue said, more precisely, their lower bodies were motionless, but the upper body was frantically struggling back and forth, left and right, as if the four hooves were grabbed by an invisible hand stretched out from the ground, this scene fell in Mama Tang's eyes, and could only be described by the word weird, "This is a ghost hitting the wall?" This was Mama Tang's first reaction.

"Flutter," He Angelica was amused, and the veil was blown up, "how come?" ”

"Flutter," a laugh rang out from under the carriage at the same time, "how come?" Not only did the words be the same as He Angelica's, but the timing of the speech was not too early or late, so the two voices sounded very coincidentally overlapped.

He Angelica frowned and looked at it, only to see that the person who was laughing was the man who had just drunk the little guy. I didn't meet him just now, and I heard him speak in an old voice, and I thought that the other party was a middle-aged man, but now I found that his eyes were bright, and there was a smile on his lips, it turned out to be a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. Take a closer look at his dress, wearing a blue Luo Tang scarf, wearing a silver embroidered bright blue robe, the lapel of the placket of the robe is erected like a cloak collar, the waist is tied with silver gray double spikes, and he is pedaling a pair of silver line flying phoenix boots.

While she looked at him, the other party also turned his eyes on her veil and body, his eyes flashed with interest, and then turned his head and smiled at the old lady: "It was the fault of the little nephew to let the old lady Luo be frightened, I didn't know that it was the old lady sitting in the car just now, so I am very sorry that the two little guys bumped into you with unruly words." As for the three horses, I held them in place with a little trick, because I didn't look quite right with them. ”

The old lady looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and then listened to his tone, which clearly recognized herself, and after thinking for a while, she asked, "Could it be that you are from the Chengnan Feng family...... Brother Yang, you are Brother Yang, the nephew of the ninth aunt, right? At first, he just felt familiar, but after recognizing it, he found that the boy he followed the Feng Jiugu to show him back then was exactly the same eyebrows and eyes, and he had two deep dimples when he smiled.

"I didn't expect the old lady to remember me," the noble son said with a smile, "The little nephew Fengyang gave the old lady a salute, and the old lady was blessed with gold." ”

The old lady looked at the noble son in front of her in surprise, squinted her eyes and smiled: "It's really Brother Yang, your aunt often mentions you, saying that this year I heard from the Feng family that you came back from the north, and you have grown up and have the ability, and now you have become a young man when you see it!" ”

Although the Feng family is also a big family that can call the wind and rain in Yangzhou, it is different from the Luo family, the Guan family and the Sun family and other nobles, and the Feng family and the Luo family do not have much intersection with each other.

No one in the Feng family is an official in the court, it is three generations ago to start by shipping, the ancestors have three or four small cargo ships in their hands, running freight trading on the Grand Canal, in the early years because they killed a few Mongolian soldiers, in order to escape the arrest of the government and participated in the righteous army, but it was Chen Youliang's Han army, a few years later when he saw that the situation was not right, he withdrew and still returned to the canal to develop shipping, and now the Feng family has two veins of the Beijing Feng family and the Yangzhou Feng family, and it is a wealthy southern upstart.

The Beijing Fengjia no longer only focuses on shipping, as early as more than 20 years ago, they opened a "Lu Feng Dart Bureau" with the Lu family in the capital. The reputation of the Land Wind Dart Bureau is good, there has not been a case of missing or destroying the dart for more than 10 years, and now it has developed to nearly 100 branches, which can be called the first dart game in the Ming Dynasty. Yangzhou Fengjia is still doing business on the waterway, but the parents are also fond of making friends with the martial artists who dance on the rivers and lakes, and then gradually gather a group of such martial artists, and build a Jianghu sect called "Cao Gang", which has grown rapidly in recent years, faintly overpowering the beggars all over the north and south of the river.

The Jianghu sect of the Ming Dynasty is divided into underworld and white sects, and the underworld sect is what it does to make money, robbery, opening casinos, salt and iron smuggling, human trafficking, and even special intelligence transactions, spy assassination transactions, as long as the employer can find the way of that family, and what kind of shady things can be done to talk to them. The heads of many famous and powerful people have been clearly marked, especially for those who have kicked in their pockets full of silver, and their hearts are looking forward to making a certain political enemy disappear from now on.

There are two kinds of Baidao: monk and home, the former focuses on self-cultivation, often builds the sect in the famous mountains and rivers, and rarely interacts with the outside world, such as Songshan Shaolin Temple, Taihe Mountain's Wudang School, Wuyi Mountain's Daguomen, Dali's Hongmen, etc.; In addition to opening a museum to teach apprentices and swinging and fighting, the latter is actually not much different from ordinary trading houses or dart games, but because many sects have a certain popularity, they can scare off many small people when they start business.

Cao Gang is the hottest big business house in recent years, with the strong support of unimpeded water transportation, the business of the Feng family has done all aspects of the river, including all aspects of the common people's clothing, food, housing and transportation, although it is not like the Luo family and the Guan family put their hands into the pockets of the royal family, but I have to admit that the financial power of the upstart Feng family is ten "old nobles" Luo family stacked up and cannot reach.

Although they live in Yangzhou together, the Luo family only does the official medicinal materials business, so the two families are well water and do not violate the river water, even if the Luo family sedan chair meets the wind family sedan chair on the street, it is also a friendly and distant relationship that nods and smiles and then passes by, and it has been peaceful in Yangzhou for ten years.
