Chapter 81: The medicine is not right
"The old body heard that Mrs. Xu sent a pot of exotic camellia flowers with five colors to the Queen Mother, in our Jin Dynasty, this camellia is very rare, not to mention that a branch can bloom five colors of flowers, I think it must be extremely precious, it is rumored that this flower was cultivated by Mrs. Xu herself, I don't know if it's true or false?" The old lady of the Fang family was smiling, but her eyes that had been weathered and accidents for a long time were staring at Lin Shuran.
Lin Shuran glanced at the old lady of the Fang family in surprise, puzzled, but still nodded and replied truthfully: "The flower is indeed planted by myself, but this flower is extremely rare, I spent three years to only cultivate two five-color jewel camellias, one was given to the queen mother, and the other was frozen by the heavy snow a year ago, I don't know why the old lady asked about the flowers?" ”
As soon as she heard that the flowers were frozen by the snow, the old lady of the Fang family showed pity on her face, and said with a bitter smile: "I can't hide it, I have an old disease, and the Zheng Yuan of the Tai Hospital has developed a new recipe, saying that it is to use camellia flowers as medicine, which is of great benefit to my disease, and the old body originally wanted to go to the palace with a cheeky face to ask the Queen Mother, but learned that the Queen Mother has put all the five-colored camellias you sent into medicine in order to cure the illness of the Queen Mother." ”
"Old lady, although this camellia is rare, it is not absent in other places in the world, if the warm flowers bloom today, other places should be able to find them." This year's wind and snow are heavy, and the small flower garden of Lin Shuran Grange has also suffered a disaster, she has re-trimmed those flowers and plants, although the camellia was rescued by her, but I am afraid that it will not bloom this year.
"Alas-" The old lady of the Fang family sighed lightly, "It's just that the efficacy of this ordinary camellia can't be compared with the five-colored camellia, and the old man will be blessed." ”
Seeing the disappointed look on the old lady of the Fang family, Lin Shuran wanted to tell her that the so-called five-color camellia should actually be the same as an ordinary camellia, but she used grafting technology, and the people here had never seen it before, so they thought it was magical.
But after thinking about it, if I said this, I was afraid that it would be easy to cause misunderstanding among others, thinking that I was reluctant to take out the precious camellia, so I put up with what I said.
On the way back from the Fang family, as soon as she walked out of the gate of the Fang family, Honggu said to Lin Shuran with a calm face: "Madam, the old lady of the Fang family is lying!" ”
Chun Xi looked at Honggu with wide eyes in surprise, what did the old lady of the Fang family lie? And Lin Shuran just continued to walk home naturally, and she asked Honggu to go back and talk about it.
When he arrived at his yard, Lin Shuran entered the room with Honggu and Chunxi, and then Chunxi closed the door and asked the people in the courtyard not to disturb Lin Shuran's rest.
"Honggu, what do you see?" Lin Shuran deliberately glanced at Honggu, and the expression on her face was still that indifferent.
"The slave knows how to heal, and the old lady of the Fang family can only look at her complexion, breath, and demeanor, even if she really has an old disease, it should be a symptom of gastrointestinal discomfort, and camellia is cold, which is most likely to cause abdominal pain, and the medicine is not right!" Honggu said it categorically, which made people can't help but believe it.
Although Lin Shuran also knows a little about medical skills, what she knows is only some ancient pharmacology or Western medicine first-aid methods, and the technique of diagnosing the pulse is not exquisite.
It's just a medicine, even if it's hard to find, it's not nothing, why did the old lady of the Fang family lie? Lin Shuran asked Chunxi to invite Imperial Doctor Mei into the mansion again, and he should know the condition of the old lady of the Fang family best.
Imperial Physician Mei came to see Lin Shuran with his medicine box, with a look on his face that he had already known that he would be like this, and before Lin Shuran could speak, he smiled and said, "Mrs. Xu knows medical skills, she should have seen the symptoms of the old lady of the Fang family." ”
"Imperial Doctor Mei, I'm afraid that the old lady of the Fang family can't use the cold medicine of camellia for her illness, right?!" When Lin Shuran saw Imperial Doctor Mei, he also explained directly.
Imperial Doctor Mei smiled helplessly, he knew that Lin Shuran could see some clues after seeing the old lady of the Fang family, and the old lady of the Fang family had an old disease of stomach cold, and this matter could be known with a little heart, it was not something that could not be said.
"Yes, the old lady of the Fang family has a stomach cold, and camellia has a miraculous effect on stopping bleeding and coughing, and it cannot cure the symptoms of stomach cold." If someone else asked, Doctor Mei would never talk much, but in his opinion, Lin Shuran had been instructed by a master, and maybe she could know a good way to deal with some diseases, so he would tell her the truth about other patients.
"This is strange, why would the old lady of the Fang family lie?" It's just a medicinal herb, is it worth it for the old lady of the Fang family to do this? Lin Shuran was very puzzled.
Doctor Mei kindly explained her confusion and said: "The old lady of the Fang family is afraid that she did this for the sake of Princess Qing, who is the maiden niece of the old lady of the Fang family. ”
Imperial Doctor Mei also told Lin Shuran that Princess Qing has always had the problem of coughing up blood, and her health has become worse recently, in fact, Zheng Yuanshou of Tai Hospital has indeed developed a new prescription for curing diseases, but not for the old lady of the Fang family, but for Princess Qing.
Some time ago, Concubine Su was seriously ill, Zheng Yuan first used camellia flowers in medicine, and the Queen Mother took the five-colored camellia to him to treat Concubine Su.
However, Zheng Yuanshou found a new recipe to stop bleeding from Concubine Su's condition, but unfortunately there was only one petal left in the camellia, which was barely enough for a dose of medicine.
"Five-color camellia is also more colorful, its medicinal effect may not be stronger than ordinary camellia, since it is effective, then go to find other camellia into medicine!" The last time Lin Shuran entered the Qing Palace, he saw Princess Qing coughing up blood with his own eyes, but at that time, Princess Qing did not allow her to get close, so he didn't have a chance to find out about her condition.
"Zheng Yuanshou said that the medicinal effect of the five-colored camellia is much stronger than that of ordinary camellias, and he has also used ordinary camellia flowers in medicine before, but the medicinal effect is average." Imperial Physician Mei has not had a chance to see the five-color camellia, but he has heard from the head of the Zheng Yuan that the medicinal effect of the five-color camellia is by no means comparable to that of ordinary camellias.
At this time, even Lin Shuran was stunned, she only wanted to cultivate camellia with a variety of colors, trying it freshly, but she thought that its flower color would become more and the medicinal effect would become stronger, and it seemed that she would have to cultivate some special camellia this year.
"Is that so? This is not a problem, the remaining five-colored jewel camellia in my flower garden has been frozen and damaged, and it is impossible to use it this year. Lin Shuran also felt regretful, and it was a pity for Imperial Doctor Mei to hear it, and the real unblessed one might be the Qing princess.
"Mrs. Qiqi, the county lord of Xiqing asked people to hand over the prayer post, and the county lord is waiting outside the door to see Mrs. at this time!" At this moment, a maid announced outside the door.
Lin Shuran could guess her approximate intention even if she didn't see the county lord of Xiqing, presumably for her mother, Princess Qing, but she did not have a five-colored camellia in her hand, which would only disappoint her.
