Chapter 30: Be Prepared
Chapter 30: Be Prepared
The first glimmer of light in the morning sprinkled on the screen window, slowly waking up the sleeping person.
"Xiaoxiang, what's the breakfast today?" A faint voice came from the inner room.
"If Miss Hui speaks, there are rice porridge, crystal steamed dumplings and seasonal vegetables."
"That's all." With a nasal voice that had just woken up, there seemed to be dissatisfaction in the words.
Because Xiao Huang said before that the dishes should be varied and small, the nutrition should be sufficient, and there should be no extravagance and waste, so the meals sent to Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the kitchen have always met the requirements.
Even if there are occasional exceptions, she never asks, today...... Xiaoxiang is also a little unsure of what her young lady means.
"What do you want to eat, Miss?"
Xiao Huang took the wet towel and wiped his face, and said casually: "It's a pity that there is no one in the kitchen, last time Uncle Lin brought back the old Chen's steamed soup dumplings and time-honored eight-treasure porridge, the taste is quite good, Xiaoxiang, you go ......."
Before she could finish speaking, Ruochen Ruofeng and the two stood up, "Miss, Miss Xiaoxiang has to wait for you to freshen up, let's let the slaves go." β
Ruofeng took half a step ahead of her, and she didn't know what she didn't do well, but it was a fact that their sisters had been left to dry for several days.
"That's right...... It's okay, then you two go buy it, remember to go back quickly. β
Hurry up and go back quickly?! The steamed soup dumplings and time-honored eight-treasure porridge in Xiao Huang's mouth, one is on East Street and the other is on West Street, not to mention the two streets in between, but they are all at the end of the alley......
But the work done by himself has to be done, and if the dust is like the wind, he has to respond in unison, "Yes, the slaves and maids will go." β
"Miss?" After seeing the two of them leave, Xiaoxiang couldn't help but call, somehow, she always felt that today's young lady was a little strange.
"Come here." The latter handed her a stool and motioned for her to sit directly across from her.
"Xiaoxiang, can I trust you?"
Seeing Xiao Huang's serious face, the watchers couldn't help but get nervous, Xiao Xiang said with a firm expression: "My life was saved by Miss, without Miss, there would be no ......"
"Listen! I don't want your life, what I want is that I will never betray in the future, can you do it? Xiao Huang's face turned a little colder.
Hearing this, Xiao Xiang bent her legs, immediately knelt in front of her, and swore without thinking: "From the moment I followed Miss, Xiao Xiang was born as Miss's person and died as Miss's dead person!" β
"If I betray Miss, I won't be able to die well with thunder and thunder, even if I die, I will starve to death, and I will starve to death, and I will ...... if I starve to death" In an instant, Xiaoxiang's voice was not broken, but tears fell out.
Seeing this, Xiao Huang was stunned at first, and then she helped the person in front of her up with a smile, I am afraid that the matter of "eating" is very important to Xiaoxiang, otherwise she will not be able to pull "eating" at any time.
"And what if I asked you to do it, what if you didn't want to do it?"
Seeing Xiaoxiang looking at her with a confused expression, Xiao Huang patiently explained: "For example, account books, aren't you unwilling to learn?" What if ...... What do I insist you will learn? And so on, there may be many, many things that you are not interested in or even understand in the future. β
"Then if I learn them, can I help Miss?" Xiaoxiang is full of entanglement.
"Nature is able."
After listening to Xiao Huang's answer, she seemed to have made a big decision, "Xiaoxiang is actually not unwilling to learn, it's just that I'm too stupid, and I have to teach Miss many times every time." β
As he spoke, the eyes that had just subsided turned red again, "I don't want Miss to think that Xiaoxiang is too stupid, otherwise, Miss won't want Xiaoxiang." β
"When did I say I didn't want you?" Xiao Huang's heart softened.
"Miss said, when I practiced before, Miss said, Xiaoxiang, if you are so stupid again, Miss Ben will not play with you."
β¦β¦
Alas...... Someone sighed almost inaudibly, it's really hard for you to have such a thick nasal voice, and you can still imitate the "Jimo Xiaohuang" style of speech in a colorful way.
"That's just Miss scaring you, Xiaoxiang is not stupid, but very smart, why don't I want you?"
"Really?" Xiao Xiang instantly felt that the whole world was beautiful when she heard this, and she opened her eyes wide and asked, "Miss is a good talker, don't lie to me." β
"Don't lie, okay, wipe your tears, I have something to tell you."
The latter wiped his face casually, "Miss, what's the matter?" β
"Listen to me, you go to the pharmacy shop in Nanxiang now, find Dr. Xu inside, and say that you are going to the appointment, and then get back what he gave you."
After the words fell, Xiao Huang added: "Be fast, act more carefully, and don't let others see it." β
"yes, I see."
As soon as Xiao Xiang left, Xiaoxiang Pavilion became deserted in vain, looking at the green bowl and round plate on the dinner table, Xiao Huang suddenly had no appetite, thinking of the scene just now, she rationally thought that it was a superfluous move, but she had to do that step more.
She has never been willing to force others to do things she is not happy with, if Xiao Xiang hesitates for a second at that moment, I am afraid that the person who follows Xiao Huang in the future will no longer be that familiar face.
As for Dr. Xu?
I don't know what I thought, Xiao Huang's face couldn't help but sink a little, after all, she and that Xu Junyi only have a few faces, the image is not good or bad, and it is rare for someone to let her not give an absolute evaluation.
Originally, it was not strange that the doctor was respected, no matter what era it was, but she noticed that the attitude of the general and his wife towards that Xu military doctor was very different.
Therefore, she inquired about the third princess mother intentionally or unintentionally, and only then did she know that this Xu military doctor was originally the head of the palace hospital, and it is needless to say that his medical skills are high and his grace is prosperous.
The suspicion is that more than ten years ago, he suddenly resigned from his official position for some reason and went incognito.
When Jimo Liyun was about to go to the border, the imperial doctor Xu found him, hoping to go to the border together as a military doctor.
Jimo Liyun was proud, and he had also heard about Imperial Doctor Xu, and he couldn't see an old man pleading like this, so he changed his identity for Imperial Doctor Xu and hid in the army.
It wasn't until ten years later that Imperial Physician Xu returned to Beijing with the army, but after arriving in Kyoto, he did not stay in the garrison outside the city, but returned to the city and went to the Nanxiang Medicine Hall to become a sitting doctor.
Because of treating Xiao Huang's injuries, after he settled down, he did not hide his whereabouts from the general and his wife.
About half a month ago, Imperial Doctor Xu came to the General's Mansion for the last time to check her pulse, and said that her body had fully recovered, and she didn't need to take any more medicine, so she only prescribed a prescription to regulate her body mechanism and began to pack up the medicine box.
However, just as he was about to leave, "Doctor Xu, please stay." β
"Miss is fine, and she will recover after a few days of rest." Imperial Doctor Xu thought that Xiao Huang was worried about his condition, so he deliberately left him to ask.
"No, the juniors are not because of this, I don't know if Doctor Xu can take a step to speak."
"That'...... All right. "I don't know what it means, but it's hard to refuse.
In the study room of the side room, Xiao Huang made a cup of tea and presented it respectfully, "The junior just wants to make a deal with Doctor Xu." β
After the words fell, she turned around and went to the bookshelf, took out a few pieces of paper from it and handed them to Imperial Doctor Xu, and said, "Doctor Xu may wish to take a look at this, if you are interested, we will continue to talk about the next step." β
Doctor Xu took the blank paper suspiciously, his eyes fell on the things drawn on the paper, from the beginning of the frowning puzzlement, to the later exclamation and excitement, Xiao Huang looked at it from beginning to end, but she just sat quietly and waited.
In fact, there is nothing special about the things drawn on the paper, just several different types of thin-bladed knives and pliers, infusion tubes, silver needles, sheep intestines, and some special herbs.
To get silver needles, sheep intestines, and herbs, I believe there is no better way to get them than to find a doctor.
In this other world, she has no foundation, so naturally it is more efficient to find someone else than to do it herself.
As for those knives and other things, because in her previous life, whether she was doing surgery or dissecting corpses, Xiao Huang's hands were already used to holding scalpels, so for a while, she couldn't find something more comfortable.
But there is no doubt that she did not want to use these things to save people, but was ready for emergencies and used them for self-defense.
Considering the limited level of production in this era, she made some changes in some places, but without losing the original purpose of those utensils.
On the white paper shown to Imperial Doctor Xu, there are not only complete graphics and functions after production, but also the steps and splitting ratios during production, as well as the raw materials to be used, and they are all sketches drawn by her with charcoal pen, and the visual effect is extremely clear.
After half a pillar of incense, Imperial Doctor Xu sorted out the messy stack of "design drawings" in his hand a little, and almost guessed what Xiao Huang wanted to say next.
But he was very surprised, in the ten years he had been in the army, he had not seen the daughter of the lively and naΓ―ve general, except for her outstanding martial arts among her peers, he had never heard of her attainments in other aspects, and in the midst of suspicion, his eyes couldn't help but look at it more.
Xiao Huang was not afraid, and let the people in front of him look at him suspiciously.
After a while, Imperial Doctor Xu pointed to the things in his hand and asked, "What is your intention in showing these to the old man?" β
"The junior doesn't have any intentions, he just wants to ask for these things from Doctor Xu." The latter had a frank face.
Hearing this, Imperial Doctor Xu sighed powerlessly, "Then Miss Jimo is looking for the wrong person, there are some objects, the old man has them, but they are different from the ones on this painting, as for the others, the old man is only seeing it for the first time today, how can there be?" β
"It's good for you to call the junior Xiao Huang, and the junior also knows that Doctor Xu doesn't have it, but Xiao Huang knows that the chief imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital will definitely have a way to have these things."
When he heard the words "Chief Imperial Doctor of Tai Hospital", Dr. Xu was so shocked that he immediately stood up, his amiable face also became cold, his pupils opened slightly, and he stared straight at Xiao Huang, "Are you threatening the old man?" β
This reaction was expected, Xiao Huang said calmly: "Doctor Xu doesn't have to be like this, and the juniors don't have any threat intentions, just seek truth from facts." β
Seeing that Imperial Doctor Xu's face did not ease, she continued: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, if Old Doctor Xu is so loud all the time, I am afraid that the danger is not given by others, but by himself." β
Thinking that he had been incognito for decades, living close to Kyoto and far away from the border, Xiao Huang made a bold guess and said such a paragraph vaguely.
"Haha...... I never thought that the old man had lived for most of his life, and he couldn't compare to the mind of a junior. β
Imperial Doctor Xu touched the goatee on his chin and said with a smile: "Little girl, I can get you this thing out of you, but the transaction means mutual benefit between the two parties, do you understand?" What can you give me? β
Hearing this, Xiao Huang also smiled back and said, "Then Xiao Huang will thank you first, and what the younger generation can give is not as good as what Doctor Xu wants, I don't know what you want from this transaction?" β
The more they got along, the more Imperial Doctor Xu felt that the little girl in front of him was extraordinary, was it really a tiger father without a dog?
"Since it's a transaction, then you have to do one thing for the old man in the future, as for what it is, I'll tell you when the old man thinks of it." He considered it for a moment, and then spoke.
"Okay, but it must be something that the juniors can do, after all, isn't it easy for you to do the juniors?" Xiao Huang bargained.
"You little girl, you still have a lot of eyes, okay, the old man promises you." After the words fell, he flipped through a few sketches in his hand again, and said curiously: "Then can you tell the old man now, where did you get these things?" β
"Well." Xiao Huang took a sip of tea, "The younger generation has nothing to do, and he paints it casually." β
How is it possible, how can such a delicate thing be just a casual drawing?!
Imperial Doctor Xu was surprised: "You painted it yourself?" And these herbs? Do you know how to heal?! β
Xiao Huang smiled embarrassedly, "The younger generation loves to read, and medical books are also involved, so they know a little bit about the skin." β
I never thought that when I heard these words in the ears of others, I thought more and more that she was able to endure her temperament and accumulate a lot, so Dr. Xu couldn't help but look up to her again.
But in fact, Xiao Huang's words did not mean to be modest at all, she studied Western medicine in her previous life, and with the development of the times, Western medicine took medicine in addition to a simple pulse.
It is more dependent on medical equipment to know the physical condition of the patient, and surgery is inseparable from the operation of various medical equipment.
Although medicine is not separated, the culture of traditional Chinese medicine is broad and profound, and it is the most basic to look at and hear.
For the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, Xiao Huang has only read some herbal scriptures, but he has never practiced them, does this only know a little bit of fur skills?
