Chapter 114: An Expected Invitation
After Wu Neng prepared the medicine, Shi Cheng skillfully kneaded the medicine that Wu Neng had pounded into a finer powder, and then put it in a snuffbox with a somewhat unique shape. Then, Shi Cheng snapped his fingers lightly, and a flash of fire flashed from the spout of the snuffbox. Soon, wisps of light smoke came out of it and were sucked in by the sleeping Huenli.
A rather beautiful maid standing not far away was surprised and surprised by Shi Cheng's actions, and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice: "Can this snuffbox still be used like this?" I always thought I was going to pour out the powder inside. ”
Shi Cheng smiled: "This thing is actually called a nose stove in my business, not a real snuff bottle." ”
The maid knew that Shi Cheng had heard her own words, and she lowered her head a little embarrassedly, but a pair of curious eyes never took away from the nose stove in Shi Cheng's hand.
After the medicinal powder in the nasal furnace burned out, Shi Cheng began to administer needles to Hu Enli with ease, and gradually, Hu Enli's face became a little more bloody, and his breathing was much more stable.
"Alright, you're done." Shi Cheng put away the utensils, then stood up from the chair, "Bring the pen and paper, your master needs to grab the medicine according to the new prescription next." ”
The maid answered, and hurriedly found a pen and paper for Shi Cheng, and prescribed a new prescription.
"What, do you have anything to ask me?" Shi Cheng saw the unnatural look on the maid beside him, so he asked about it.
The maid bowed, and then asked, "Please forgive Yue'er for offending, it's just that Yue'er wants to ask Childe, where can I buy this kind of thing called a nose stove?" ”
"What are you going to do when you buy this thing?" Shi Cheng asked with some curiosity.
"That's right. My brother suffers from a severe nasal disease and often feels dizzy, so I want to buy him a nasal stove of this kind, which may help him soothe and soothe him. ”
"I'm afraid this thing is not easy to buy in the Western Desert, so let's just give you one." Shi Cheng replied with a smile.
The maid named Yue'er hurriedly waved her hand, "How can this be, Gongzi is a distinguished guest of the master and his wife, and Yue'er really doesn't dare to accept Gongzi's things." ”
"I didn't tell you anything, you just thought you met a merchant in your lord's house today." Shi Cheng said as he took out a new nasal stove from the medicine box, "You can pay me a quarter of a Tongbao." ”
"This ...... Is it so cheap? But this thing looks quite delicate. ”
"It's just a utensil, flashy. Tell me about your brother's illness, and I'll tell you how to get the medicine. ”
"Then thank you, Childe." The girl was very happy, but then she said with some embarrassment: "It's just that I don't have any money with me now." ”
"It's nothing, you leave me your address, and I'll send someone to collect it when the time comes."
"Then thank you Childe, I'll go and inform my family tonight and let them get the money ready!" The girl said gratefully.
After asking about the patient's condition, Shi Cheng thought for a while, then took a piece of paper and wrote the prescription. Shi Cheng knew that most of the little girls in front of him were from ordinary families, so he used cheap drugs as much as possible in the prescription.
The maid of the Hu Mansion in front of Shi Cheng accepted the prescription with great gratitude, Shi Cheng saw that things had been almost done, so he thought about leaving, after all, he still had a lot of things to do, and Hu Enli, who was weak at the moment, did not show any signs of waking up for a while.
Mrs. Hu didn't seem to be able to come back for a while, so Shi Cheng said to the people who were guarding the house: "There is still something to do, so I won't delay here any longer, and when Mrs. Zunfu comes back, please tell her that you must take the medicine according to the new prescription next, once in the morning and once in the evening, and I will come again in five days." I live at No. 3 Yulin Lane, you can go there and find me if you have any urgent matters. ”
"Childe, are you going to leave now?"
"Yes, I have a lot of things to do and I am short on time. I also ask you to apologize to Madame Hu on my behalf, and to convey to her in full what I have just said. ”
After coming out of Hufu, the three of them got into the car, and with a soft sound of the horsewhip, the carriage headed towards Yulin Lane.
As soon as they stepped through the door, the three of them suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in the house was very different from when the three of them had just left in the morning.
The people in the mansion became nervous, and when they saw Shi Cheng and the three of them coming back, Zhang Tian hurriedly ran to Shi Cheng as if he had been amnestied, and stammered: "Old ...... Sir, you're finally back. A guest has come to the palace, a messenger from the palace! Brother Li was receiving them in the main hall. ”
"Someone has come to the palace!" Wu Neng and Tie Mian were both taken aback.
However, Shi Cheng's face did not have a look of surprise, as if the matter of someone coming from the palace had already been expected by him. "In that case, take us to meet the envoy of the King of the Western Desert." He said to Zhang Tian.
At this moment, Li Doujin was sitting at the bottom of the main hall anxiously, and a gorgeously dressed chamberlain was sitting at the top with his eyes closed, not saying a word, looking quite arrogant.
Li Doujin didn't even dare to come out, and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with his sleeve from time to time, this was the first time in his life that he faced such a high-status person, which made him very nervous.
"Is it related to the identity of the master, after all, he is from the Western Continent......"
Just when Li Doujin was thinking nonsense, a subordinate hurriedly walked in, whispered a few words in Li Doujin's ear, and then retreated to the side with his head down.
Li Doujin exhaled softly, the big stone in his heart fell halfway, he stood up with a smile, and said respectfully to the inner servant: "Wang Envoy, my master has returned." ”
"Your lord?" The chamberlain narrowed his eyes and said sharply, "Is your home in the Western Continent?" ”
Li Doujin knew that he had just lost his words, and his head was lowered even more, and he said in a loud voice: "The king forgives sins, forgives sins." ”
The chamberlain snorted, and just as he was about to make a urge, a figure appeared at the door of the main hall.
"Shi Moufang just went out, I didn't know that the king envoy was coming, and I missed the welcome, and I asked the king to forgive Shi for the crime of neglect." A loud voice came through the door. As soon as the words fell, Shi Cheng walked in from outside the gate, followed by Wu Neng, Tie Mian, and Zhang Tian.
"The Immortal Master really made me wait." The chamberlain said slowly, and then he gently shook his sleeves, raised his head and shouted, "Shi Cheng, tell the truth!" ”
Shi Cheng frowned slightly, the attitude of the royal envoy in front of him was a little too arrogant, but after thinking about it slightly, he figured out the truth.
"It seems that they want to give me a dismount, and they want to kill me." Shi Cheng thought helplessly, "But this way of getting off the horse can only be played by small countries." ”
The atmosphere in the room was very tense, Li Doujin and Zhang Tian didn't dare to come out, Wu Neng looked very nervous, only Tie Mian still looked like he was fine.
Shi Cheng's face still had a gentle expression, he slowly walked to the chair on the left hand side of the chamberlain, looked at the chamberlain with a somewhat surprised face, and then Shi Cheng raised his right hand, put the palm to his left chest, performed a grassland salute, and then said modestly: "The royal envoy, please speak." ”
The waiter stared at Shi Cheng tightly, but was forced to breathe a little by Shi Cheng's seemingly gentle gaze, he was actually a very knowledgeable person, seeing that Shi Cheng didn't eat this, this waiter couldn't be entangled.
"The lord of the country has an order to summon the Danshi Shi of the Pharmacist Chamber of Commerce into the palace." After reading this short message, the chamberlain said in a stiff tone, "Shi Immortal Master, please follow me into the palace." ”
"Yes." Shi Cheng nodded and said, and then said to Wu Neng and Tie Mian who were not far away: "Old Wu, old Tie, you can prepare." ”
"Wait." The chamberlain interrupted Shi Cheng's words, "Shi Immortal Master, my lord has only invited you. ”
"Is it just me? It's good. Shi Cheng did not object, "Then bother the king's envoy to lead the way, let's set off." ”
……
Han Qu sat in the hall of nourishing the heart, leisurely listening to the musicians' performances, and carefully tasting the fruit wine in the cup. For him, stealing a moment of leisure is quite a rare thing during this time.
Yu He quietly walked to Han Qu's side and whispered, "Your Majesty, that Xilu Dan Master is already waiting outside. ”
"Oh? Call him in. ”
"Your Majesty, do you need to inform Governor Li about this matter? Although he is a Dan master of the Pharmacist Chamber of Commerce, he is always a Chita person, and now this moment is not as good as before. ”
"No need, the widow had already talked to him about this matter when Governor Li came last time, and he was also very interested in this Xilu Dan Master who came to my Western Desert single-handedly."
"I see, the minister will go and summon Shi Cheng in." Yu He bowed and walked out quickly.
Han Qu waved his hand, and ordered the musicians to retreat.
Soon, Yu He and two chamberlains walked in from outside the main hall, followed by a young man dressed in black.
Han Qu narrowed his eyes, although he had already learned about Shi Cheng's appearance from the mouth of the inner servant who reported the news, but the meeting with the real person at this moment still surprised Han Qu. Han Qu hadn't carefully read Shi Cheng's identity documents, so he didn't know Shi Cheng's true age. However, although Shi Cheng was ugly, Han Qu could still tell that he was definitely not yet thirty years old.
"There is actually such a young Dan Master, and the servant who came to report before didn't seem to say that he was a child of a big family, when did such a genius come out of Xilu?" Han Qu thought suspiciously.
Although Shi Cheng's ugly face made Han Qu disgusted, he still quickly restrained his expression, and slowly ordered his attendant with a majestic posture, "Show Shi Immortal Master a seat." ”
Shi Cheng walked to the main hall under the watchful eyes of the guards, made a grassland salute without humility or arrogance, and then said in a calm and clear voice: "Shi Cheng of the Pharmacist Chamber of Commerce, I have seen the king. ”
