1209 Chapter 515 Suicide

Lin Jingchen picked up a white falling flower from the ground, and saw that the flower was shaped like a peach, and the bright yellow stamens were delicate and elegant.

"It's so fragrant." Bamboo also picked up one and sniffed it at the tip of his nose.

"It really is Qianmanlan." Lin Jingchen said affirmatively, staring at the white flowers in his hands. Before he could tell him, Han Qixia took out a deerskin glove, collected the remaining flowers, and carefully wrapped them in a lotus.

Seeing that Han Qixia carefully put on the deerskin gloves, Bamboo swallowed her saliva, and threw away the flowers in her hands like a hot potato. She asked cautiously, "Mr. Lin, do you think this Qianmanlan is poisonous?"

Lin Jingchen nodded: "Qianmanlan has no leaves, and its branches are highly poisonous. Although the flowers are not poisonous, their pollen is a little poisonous. If you smell too much, you will become dizzy and nauseated." He glanced at Bamboo with a half-smile, "It It's not poisonous smoke or smog, take one and smell it, it's not in the way."

He turned the thousand mangan orchid in his hand, and continued: "If someone accidentally eats its pollen, it will easily irritate the stomach and cause vomiting and diarrhea. Early October to mid-to-late November happens to be its flowering season... "

He looked up at the flower forest in front of him, another gust of wind blew through, and countless petals fell into the water, falling with the water...

Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai glanced at each other. The situation was very clear. It should be the blooming season of Qianmanlan. The flowers fell into the river and went down the river. They were mistakenly accepted by the soldiers stationed and patrolled nearby. As a result of gastrointestinal discomfort, vomiting and diarrhea. But the amount of pollen in the river water is very low, so it's not deadly.

Lin Jingchen was still talking: "Qianmanlan is extremely rare in Dayu. I have seen it once in the mountains where a small clan lives in the southwest. According to the old man of that small clan, Qianmanlan is mainly distributed in the southern border. Wetter and hotter areas to the south."

Xiao Yi hurriedly asked, "Grandfather, do you have a solution to this pollen poison?"

Lin Jingchen nodded: "Ayi, don't worry. The pollen is weak, and the detoxification method is not difficult. When I go back and open a prescription, everyone will take it and it will be fine."

At the same time as he spoke, he motioned Han Qixia to break off a section of Qianmanlan's branch. As Han Qixia put the branch into the basket, she asked, "Grandfather, Qianmanlan's branch can also be used as medicine?" I am surprised that all things are mutually reinforcing, and many highly poisonous substances can be used as medicine if used properly.

"In that small clan, they often used Qianmanlan to kill phlegm to kill insects and to strengthen the heart to relieve pain..." Lin Jingchen talked to Han Qixia incessantly.

After that, everyone gathered some flowers and some branches, and went back to Yanding City.

Lin Jingchen gave the prescription to the military doctor, and the military doctor immediately supervised the helper's wife to decoct the medicine...

After observing the symptoms of several soldiers after taking the medicine, everyone left the wounded barracks again. By this time, it was past noon.

Xiao Yi said enthusiastically: "Grandfather, Xiaobai, Miss Han, are you all hungry? Shall I invite you to eat Bianshi? I heard from Xiao Hezi that there is a stall in front of me selling Bianshi, and the craftsmanship is good."

The other people naturally had no objection. They followed Xiao Yi to a booth with long flags hanging. Several people sat down at two tables, making the originally unpopular booth suddenly very lively.

"Madam, come six bowls of flat food." Xiao Yilang said.

"Yes, please wait a moment."

The proprietress and an old woman with gray hair in the shop were in a hurry, opened the lid of the pot, and poured a white, fat, flat food into the hot water.

The proprietress saw that these people were men, women, young and old, and they were all extraordinary. She knew in her heart that these guests must not be ordinary people, so she cautiously exchanged a glance with the old woman and whispered to the old woman.

The gray-haired old woman came over with a rag, carefully wiped the table for them, and said flatly, "Please wait a moment, the flat food will be ready soon..."

After wiping the table, the old woman was about to step back, but Guan Yubai stopped the other party: "Old lady, stay here, I wonder if I can ask you something."

The official language is Bai Junyi and gentle. At first glance, he looks like a refined and elegant son. When he smiles slightly, it makes people feel like a spring breeze, and he can't help but feel good in his heart and let go of his vigilance.

"Young master is being polite, please be blunt." The old woman replied respectfully.

Guan Yu said politely: "Old lady, we have just arrived in Yanding City. These days, the accompanying family members have been suffering from unacceptable symptoms, vomiting and diarrhea. I asked the doctor to see it. If you know the old lady, do you know any way to do it?"

The old woman was stunned for a while, and then her face wrinkled with laughter, and said, "This young man, you are asking the right person. Every year in Yanding City, around October and November, people from outside the country are easily dissatisfied with the soil and water. But don't worry, Young Master, if it's an adult, it's usually not a big deal, as long as you drink more rice soup, drink some ginger tea, and boil it for a few days, it will slowly heal."

As soon as the old woman said that, everyone's attention was attracted, Lin Jingchen nodded almost invisibly, indicating that the old woman was right. similar situation. As for the newcomers, most people will probably be fine after a few days. It's just that this doesn't apply to the army. Just imagine, now that the war is not over, if a large number of soldiers are weak due to diarrhea, how can they fight on the battlefield.

Guan Yubai frowned slightly, and said again in doubt, "There is still such a strange thing? If this is summer, maybe it is because of the exhaustion of the boat and the car, which has caused the body to suffer from the heat, but now it is October..."

The old woman smiled slightly embarrassedly: "The reason for this, the old lady is not very clear. But I heard that several nearby cities and villages are also like this during this season..."

At this time, the proprietress came with two bowls of hot flat food on a wooden tray: "Keguan, the flat food is ready."

The old woman hurried to help, serving flat food to everyone, and giving them a few jars of their own special seasoning sauces for them to add on their own.

"Everyone eat while it's hot." Xiao Yi greeted everyone warmly and started eating with relish, but he was paying attention to Guan Yubai out of the corner of his eyes.

Guan Yubai didn't move his chopsticks, but thoughtfully tapped his knuckles on the table, under the half-drooping eyes, the dark eyes like the deep sea flashed with a wise and deep light.

Suddenly, a shallow smile formed on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Xiao Yi, "Ayi, do you remember the letter that Xiao Hui brought?"

In the past few days, Guan Yubai has been thinking about what the intentions of the Nanliang people are. Now it seems that it is a chain of rings, and it is obviously planned for a long time.

When Xiao Yi heard the words, he suddenly became enlightened and raised his brows slightly.

An eagle croak sounded, Xiao Yi looked up, and in the cloudless sky, Xiao Hui made a powerful chirping sound, which could not be echoed for a long time...

Xiao Yi retracted his gaze and said to Lin Jingchen, "Grandfather, please help us to formulate a prescription that can be prevented. I will send it back to Luoyue City later."

The flowering period of this thousand manlan is nearly two months, and the soldiers cannot be allowed to vomit and have diarrhea from time to time. If it can be prevented, of course, it is the best.

Lin Jingchen replied with a smile. Now that the cause has been found, it is not difficult for him to prescribe a prescription.

After eating Bianshi, Xiao Yi sent Lin Jingchen and the others back to the garrison.

Soon, Lin Jingchen prescribed a prescription that could be used for prevention, adjusted it according to the medicine used, and stated the steps of the medicine.

Xiao Yi put it away solemnly, and after sending Lin Jingchen away, only Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai were left in the study, along with Xiao Si and Zhu Zi.

"Ayi." Guan Yu pondered for a moment, then said, "This recipe... will be sent back to Luoyue City after a few days. In addition, I will send someone to the city to post some notices, saying that the Southern Border Army is not satisfied with the situation and is collecting recipes from the people. ."

Xiao Yi didn't ask the reason, so he naturally asked Zhuzi to call Li Shoubei, and he carefully put away the recipe.

Guan Yubai smiled faintly, the sunlight fell on him through the window, his face became more elegant and gentle, and there was a wise brilliance in his eyes.

Three days later.

A gray carrier pigeon spread its wings and flew to Luoyue City.

After a whole day and night of flying, the gray pigeon finally reached its destination. It flapped its wings and flew into the Bixiaotang, and then a pair of wings flapped faster, and its chubby body was full of tension.

Unexpectedly, it landed safely next to the pigeon cage in the yard without encountering any "obstacle" today.

"Cuckoo..."

The pigeon barked excitedly, but luckily the big nasty guy wasn't there.

Thrush immediately untied the bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg and ran to the house, "Concubine Shizi, this is the flying pigeon biography of Shizi."

Nangong Yue had just finished washing and dressing, and now she didn't even have the mind to eat breakfast, she couldn't wait to read the letter, her expression gradually became solemn.

She immediately ordered Baihui to serve with brush and ink, and first copied the prescription written by Lin Jingchen on the second piece of silk paper, and said, "Baihui, go to Huichuntang, Lijia Pharmacy and Dejitang." These three pharmacies are The pharmacy for Nangong Yue that makes anti-summer medicines and anti-miasma medicines, "It's cold, let them stop making anti-heat medicines, first prepare all the medicinal materials on this recipe, and prepare as many as you want. Waiting for the medicinal materials, don't be vague, in two days, I will go to them to see the medicinal materials in person, and order a batch of finished medicines..."

"Yes, Concubine Shi." Baihui immediately took the order and retired to work, while Nangong Yue set the two pieces of silk paper on fire.

On this day, Baihui did not return to the mansion until sunset.

When the appointed time came, the master and servant went out early in the morning in a blue hooded carriage, and it was not long before the two visited Huichuntang, Lijia Pharmacy and Dejitang in succession.

Every time he went to a house, Nangong Yue carefully inspected the medicinal materials they had prepared. In this way, it was not until two hours later that he arrived at the last Deji Hall.

Not far ahead, another carriage stopped just in front of Dejitang's entrance, so the driver had to slow down.

Dejitang has prepared anti-heat medicine for Nangongyue for several months. During this period, Nangongyue and Baihui have also been here many times. The man recognized Nangongyue's carriage at a glance, and he nodded and bowed while looking for someone to inform the boss. The ground greeted him and said politely to the driver: "Brother Li, I'm sorry, a batch of new medicinal materials has just arrived and is being unloaded. There are only a few baskets left... Please wait a moment, Brother Li."

After finishing speaking, the man hurriedly urged the people who were unloading the goods. After a while, the carriage continued to move forward and stopped at the entrance of Deji Hall.

The entrance of Deji Hall is still a little messy. Several baskets of herbs that have just been unloaded are randomly placed on the ground. These herbs are freshly picked herbs that have not been processed. They are green and green, some are stained with dew, and some even have roots. with mud...

Baihui lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, then carefully supported Nangong Yue and got out of the carriage.

Today, Nangong Yue wore a pomegranate red splendid makeup flower robe, and re-combed a simple peach heart bun with only a simple bamboo knot white hosta, which looked elegant and moving.

Just as she stood firm, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the shop, and a middle-aged man wearing aquamarine brocade robes hurriedly greeted her, who was the boss Ji of Dejitang.

"Mrs. Xiao!"

As soon as he heard that the big customer was coming, Boss Ji immediately put down the affairs at hand and came out to welcome the guest in person, with a very attentive smile on his face.

In the past few months, Boss Ji has long been aware of Nangongyue's identity, but seeing that Nangongyue doesn't want to reveal his identity, he can only pretend to be ignorant.

"Boss Ji." Nangong Yue nodded slightly.

Boss Ji hurriedly welcomed Nangong Yue into the room, and at the same time glared at the man without a trace, meaning, why don't you tidy up the shop? Let the guests see jokes!

The guy touched the back of his head and nodded.

Boss Ji asked Nangong Yue to sit down in the hall at the back, and then asked him to serve tea quickly, and asked respectfully, "Mrs. Xiao, all the medicinal materials you want are ready."

Two days ago, when Baihui suddenly came to the pharmacy to ask them to stop making antipyretics, Boss Ji felt regretful, but he was not surprised. He had long known that although the business of antipyretics was big, it would not be done soon. After all, even if it was a Huangkou Xiaoer also understands that once the hottest summer vacation is over, this anti-summer medicine will naturally be unnecessary. He comforts himself in his heart, fortunately, there is still medicine for miasma.

Unexpectedly, Baihui brought a new business.

Boss Ji has carefully looked at the medicinal materials that he has purchased, such as nutmeg, schisandra, fulonggan... all have the effect of antiemetic and antidiarrheal, like an antidiarrheal medicine, but Qichuhua, Jialan leaf...etc. Most of them are used for detoxification, and there are also some herbs that increase the vitality and resistance of the body.

Generally speaking, only some commonly used medicines are made into finished medicines, but if the purchased medicinal materials are used to make the same medicine, Boss Ji really can't think of what kind of common medicines are made.

If it is an ordinary guest, Boss Ji will probably ask clearly, but this lady in front of him... Boss Ji shut up very wisely.

Nangong Yue took a slow sip of the hot tea, and after putting down the tea cup gently, Baihui handed over a piece of paper. The paper was written on the specific preparation method and steps of the batch of finished medicines, waiting for him to read. After that, Fang Cai said: "Boss Ji, can you make this medicine?"

"Can you do it!" Boss Ji patted his chest and complied.

Boss Ji has been in this business for so long, and he knows a little bit about it. Although the medicinal materials used in this batch of finished medicines are a little weird, the preparation method is simple and clear, and it will not be a problem.

Boss Ji said flatteringly: "Mrs. Xiao, I will order the master to try out a few bottles first and send them to you..." He wanted to send it to Zhennan Wangfu, but he choked again when he said that, so he had to laugh. After a few voices, "In two days, you will send someone to pick it up."

"This is not in a hurry." Nangong Yue said lightly, "Boss Ji, can you show me the medicinal herbs?"

Boss Ji remembered that when Baihui came over a few days ago, he mentioned that her wife would come to see the medicine in person, and hurriedly said, "Of course. Mrs. Xiao, please come here."

"Trouble Boss Ji lead the way." Nangong Yue stood up and followed Boss Ji to the courtyard behind the hall.

Boss Ji led the way in front, led Nangong Yue's master and servant through the courtyard, and said as he walked: "Mrs. Xiao, now a small part of the medicinal materials have been processed, and most of the raw medicinal materials are still in the yard and warehouse, you can rest assured, it is absolutely Good herbs."

Soon, they arrived at the processing room at the back.

All medicinal materials must be processed before being used as medicine. The processing technology of medicinal materials is related to the efficacy of medicine. In short, it is detoxification and synergy. It is no exaggeration to say that the processing room is the most important place in a pharmacy. On weekdays, Boss Ji will never allow others to easily set foot in it, even the guys in the shop. But Nangong Yue is different, the prince and concubine of the dignified town Nan Wang will not come to his own shop to steal teachers, right?

"Mrs. Xiao, please!" Boss Ji graciously stretched out his hand to make a plea.

The huge processing room is like a big kitchen, which is full of wine, salt, ginger, vinegar, honey, oil and other condiments, as well as miscellaneous bran, soil, clams, slippery, sand and other materials. The smell of cooking and oil smoke was mixed together, and it was extremely hot inside, and the concocting master and several apprentices were sweating profusely.

There are apprentices stewing rehmannia with wine, there are people frying nutmeg with talc powder, and a little further, another person is frying citrus shells with wheat bran... An old master skillfully gave orders to the young master cooks and apprentices.

While leading Nangong Yue to look around, Boss Ji said, "Mrs. Xiao, don't worry. The cook in my shop has been an old master for fifty years, baking, baking, frying, washing, Soaking, rinsing, steaming, and boiling are all proficient. It can definitely exert 100% of the efficacy of medicinal herbs!”

Nangong Yue picked up a piece of scorched hawthorn and looked at it. Boss Ji hurriedly explained, "Mrs. Xiao, this hawthorn is going to be scorched, so that the medicinal effect will be good, and the stomach and digestion will be strengthened." He pointed to the side and looked dirty. Xixi Bai Zhu sliced ​​and said, "This Bai Zhu is to be fried with soil, and then the soil will be sieved out later."

Nangong Yue glanced casually, "Fulonggan and stir-fried Atractylodes, the heat has passed a minute, but it's not bad."

The old master on the side couldn't help but look over when he heard the words. Just now, he was just a little distracted, and the apprentice fired Bai Zhu for two more breaths. He didn't expect this subtle difference to be seen at a glance.

Even Boss Ji was stunned. Fulong liver is commonly known as the heart of the stove, which is formed by smoking and burning firewood for many years. Many ordinary people also know that Zaoxintu can treat deficiency-cold blood loss and vomiting, but Fulonggan is the name of the medicine, and it is the name used by their insiders. It seems that the Concubine Shizi still knows a little bit, but fortunately, she never planned to confuse the Concubine Shizi. Boss Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his behavior became more and more respectful and careful.

After leaving the processing room, Boss Ji took Nangongyue to the yard and warehouse to see other raw medicinal materials that he had just bought... About half an hour later, Nangongyue and Baihui left Dejitang.

After the three pharmacies on this trip were finished, they returned to Bixiao Hall.

Nangong Yue just got out of the carriage, and Luo mama came to report: "Prince Prince, the guests have arrived."

Today is the day when the king of Zhennan takes his concubine, because it is a girl from the Fang family. After Wei Shi asked Nangong Yue for instructions, he set up four tables of banquets and banquets in the outer courtyard of the palace and in the flower hall, respectively. .

But that's all, after all, the most expensive concubine is nothing but a concubine. On this day, the palace was not dressed in red, and Nangong Yue did not attend this small banquet. The guests who came were only wives below the fourth rank.

When it was auspicious, a pink sedan brought people in from the corner gate of the palace, and carried them all the way to the main courtyard to serve tea to the little Fang.

However, Mrs. Fang tightly closed the door and turned Fang Ziman away.

The news reached Wei Shi's ears immediately, and Wei Shi did not persuade him, but went directly to report to King Zhennan.

King Zhennan gave an order, and the pink sedan was carried to the new yard prepared for Fang Ziman...

King Zhennan had a good time with the guests in the outer courtyard. After drinking a little drunk, he went to bed in the courtyard of the new concubine. At this time, it was already Liu Shaotou on the moon.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the palace, Bixiaotang is still so quiet and peaceful, that is, there are occasional maids who come to tell me when will Miss Fang Liu be carried into the door, when the banquet in the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard will end, etc.

After all the guests had dispersed, the night gradually deepened.

Nangong Yue flipped through the notes left by her grandfather in her small study alone, and scribbled over a prescription several times.

At this moment, a messy footstep sounded from outside, Nangong Yue frowned slightly, and faintly heard a nervous voice from a little maid: "Sister Baihui... it's not good..." The voice was suppressed, and Nangong Yue was intermittently I heard the word "Mrs."

Little Fang? Nangong Yue raised her brows and put down the wolf pen in her hand.

After a while, Baihui picked the curtain and hurriedly walked in, bowed her knees and said, "Prince Concubine, Madam just hanged herself..."
