Chapter 11: Liu Falls Ill
Jing Yi was also very interested in the topics that the guests in the box said.
I heard the guest say: "This is news from the capital, and many places know about it, and your news is too backward." King Jing is the son of a noble concubine, with the talent of the heavens and the earth, and the military power in hand, he is deeply loved by the emperor and is a popular candidate to inherit the throne.
Therefore, he was also besieged by the joint efforts of other princes, and it is said that King Jing was assassinated many times and poisoned, and there were many people who wanted to kill him anyway.
Although I have been injured a few times before, but it is not serious, but it is said that this time I was not only seriously injured but also poisoned, which directly injured my life. The imperial doctor was informed that he was critically ill.
After the saint learned about it, Long Yan was furious, and ordered the imperial doctors to do their best to heal and save King Jing's life, but King Jing was injured at the root, not only will he have to take medicine for a long time in the future, but he will also get sick from time to time, and his martial arts will be lost, and he will not be able to have children in the future. It is said that they will not live to be thirty years old. A prince who cannot have children and is in poor health cannot inherit the throne at all, which means that King Jing directly loses the qualification to compete for the throne. ”
Another guest said: "Hey, it's the most ruthless emperor's family, fighting to the death for a brother on the throne." Or we ordinary people are at ease. ”
Jing Yi listened to the discussion of the guests in the box for a while, and probably understood the whole story. It seems that this Jin Kingdom is not very peaceful.
Jing Yi listened to some gossip from other table guests, some people said that several state capitals in the Jin Kingdom were affected by drought this year, and although some places did not have no grain harvest, the output was also reduced a lot, and some places even had no grain harvest. This has also caused grain prices to rise to varying degrees across the country. In many places, there have been large numbers of people fleeing the famine.
Jing Yi thought that it seemed that there had been almost no rain in Yiguo along the way, and it seemed that this year's year was not very good.
Jing Yi heard some news in the teahouse, drank half a pot of white water, ate some snacks and prepared to go back. She paid the bill and walked out of the teahouse.
Jing Yi returned to the inn and found that her mother Liu's face was very bad, and when she touched her mother's forehead, she had a fever, which was obviously sick.
Liu's illness is menacing, it may be because he was evading the pursuit and accumulating fire all day long and sleeping in the open, which is suddenly safe, Liu's tense energy is unloaded, and the fire in his heart is sick.
Her mother fell ill, and Jingyi couldn't travel anymore. She checked her mother's pulse, and felt that her mother's body had indeed suffered a loss, and she had to recuperate.
Because of the previous family changes and the heart palpitations of her mother who fled all the way, Jing Yi knew that her mother was caused by excessive fright, and she had to take good care of it in the future.
Liu was also very anxious about her illness, and she said weakly: "Brother Yan'er, my mother has affected you, and this illness will delay our trip again." ”
Jing Yi comforted: "Mother, we will be safe in the Jin Kingdom now, and we don't have to worry that there will be pursuers at any time." You have anger in your heart, and it's good to send it out. You can recuperate with peace of mind, and it will not be too late for us to set off when you are cured. ”
After Jing Yi checked her mother's pulse, she had a prescription in her heart and told her mother to rest, so she went to the pharmacy to grab medicine. She is also going to make some pills for her mother to maintain her body,
She grabbed a few pairs of pills according to her prescription. These pairs of medicines cost a few taels of silver, although there are two more precious medicinal materials, but this medicine is really expensive enough.
And the medicinal materials that Jing Yi bought to make pills were even more expensive, and a small ginseng alone cost dozens of taels of silver. All of a sudden, he spent a lot of money in Jing Yi's hand.
It is no wonder that most of the people in ancient times looked down on the sick, and when they got sick, many of them did it themselves or simply waited for death. With such an expensive medicine, how many people can be cured.
My mother's body has suffered a serious loss recently, and she needs to make up for it, so she also bought some supplements.
Although she also harvested some herbal seeds during her days in the mountains, she did not have a suitable place to concoct herbs one by one, so she had to buy medicine from the pharmacy first.
When she settles down, she must save up some herbs in case she needs them.
Jing Yi came out of the pharmacy and bought another clay pot for boiling medicine, and then went back to the inn. She spent money to rent a small stove from the inn to boil medicine for her mother, and she could also use the small stove to cook some medicinal food for her mother.
Because of Liu's illness, they were delayed in Luyang County. And the silver in Jing Yi's hand also saw a decrease.
Lu Tingjie gave her more than 200 taels of silver before, and she found dozens of taels from those killers and pursuers, and sold two horses on the road and got more than 100 taels of silver, which is a lot.
She also spent some silver on the way, and now she has more than 150 taels of silver in her hand, in addition to the cost of treating her mother. This money is a lot in the average ordinary person.
But in the future, when they find a place to settle down, they need to apply for household registration, buy a house, at least have a place to live, and buy a few acres of land, which all cost money.
Jing Yi felt that she had to think about how to make money, at least she couldn't sit back and eat.
Liu Shi looked at the ginseng and chicken porridge that his daughter brought to him, and felt distressed, "Brother Yan'er, why do you still buy ginseng, how much silver does it cost." We have a limited amount of silver, so we need to save some. ”
Jing Yi said: "Mother, you don't have to worry about the silver, I will find a way to make money." Your body has suffered a lot of losses during this time, and you have to make up for it. The little ginseng I bought didn't cost much money. Your body will be well as soon as possible, so we can continue to travel.
During this time, I also heard some news, it is said that Huizhou Mansion in the Jin Kingdom is relatively peaceful, there are mountains and rivers, and the climate is also good, when you are well, we will go to Huizhou Mansion to see. Find a mountain village with good mountains and rivers to live a stable life. ”
Liu complained that he had dragged his daughter back, "Alas, it's all my body that doesn't fight." ”
Jing Yi fed her mother with chicken porridge and comforted: "You can recuperate with peace of mind, we don't necessarily have to settle down somewhere, we can settle down in a good place." ”
Jing Yi asked her mother to take the medicine and lie down to rest, while she made the pills. She used her wood-based abilities to extract the essence of the herbs to maximize their effects, and then infused the pills with wood-based energy. In this way, a small pill can have a good effect.
When the mother has heart palpitations, she can take one, and the symptoms will be relieved quickly. She had too little silver in her hand, and she could only make a small amount of pills. When she has money in the future, she can make better pills for her mother to take often and take care of her body.
In order to take care of his body as soon as possible, Liu also listened to his daughter's words, let him drink medicine when he drank medicine, and let him take supplements when he took supplements. This thought will be cured soon, plus Jing Yi used his ability to regulate his mother's body, and Liu's illness was almost cured ten days later.
Jing Yi let her mother raise her for two more days, and then she quit the house when she was completely well, and then rented a carriage and continued to take her mother to Suizhou Fucheng.
