On October 15th, the Xiliang Consignment Battalion was ordered by Ikaluo to escort a batch of grain and grass to Dengli City again, but was intercepted by the God Arm Battalion led by Fu Yunhe at the same location, and the entire army was annihilated.
Grain and grass were transported to Yanding City, and the city was full of joy.
On October 17, Zhou Dacheng returned to Luoyue City from Yanding City, and immediately went to the Luoyue City barracks to return to Tian He and convey Xiao Yi's military orders.
It was about the army, Tian He did not dare to neglect, and immediately went to Zhennan Wangfu to ask to see Zhennan Wang.
So after a stick of incense, Nangong Yue was summoned to the study of King Zhennan.
"Father."
Nangong Yue was introduced into the study by Kikyo and bowed to King Zhennan.
King Zhennan's face was a little tired. Since Qiao Ruolan disappeared, Mrs. Qiao came to the palace to cry and make trouble all day, making him unable to eat or sleep well. But seeing Nangong Yue coming over, he still said kindly, "Prince Concubine Shizi is exempted from the ceremony."
In the study, besides King Zhennan, Tian He was also there, sitting on an armchair by the window, looking at Nangong Yue with a smile.
Of course, Nangong Yue knew about Zhou Dacheng's return, and probably guessed that Tian He should come to King Zhennan for medicine.
She greeted Tian He calmly, and then King Zhennan started talking about business: "Prince Shizi, this king heard from General Tian that you made a batch of medicine for the army before." Nan Wang felt a little gratified in his heart, his impression of this daughter-in-law was better, and he gave the military medicine, but he didn't come here to make fun of himself. This is the demeanor of a prince.
Nangong Yue said respectfully: "Yes, Father. My daughter-in-law heard that A Yi said that some soldiers in the army were suffering from the disease, so she specially found three pharmacies to make some pills, and asked General Tian to help send them to the front. The daughter-in-law said. People, these are the little things you can do."
"Okay!" King Zhennan nodded with satisfaction, "That batch of medicines has already been sent to Yanding City, but now the war is tense, these medicines are far from enough to equip the entire army, and a large quantity needs to be ordered. Concubine Shi, According to this king, three pharmacies are too few, why don't you find a few more pharmacies to make medicine together?"
"My lord, listen to what the last commander has to say." Tian He clasped his fists and said, "The last commander thinks that this medicine is a military supply and needs to be cautious. There are too many drugstores. It's a bad thing."
King Zhennan frowned slightly, showing hesitation.
Upon seeing this, Nangong Yue added: "Father, General Tian is right. First, it is difficult for the newly found shop to guarantee its integrity, and second, the quality of the pharmacist will also affect the efficacy of the medicine."
She paused and said, "The three pharmacies that my daughter-in-law is currently using have been carefully investigated and observed for a long time. Before, she also made a summer anti-heat medicine for her daughter-in-law, so she dared to let them make medicine for the military. The three are all big drugstores in Luoyue City. In fact, there is still some spare capacity on hand, but there are too few medicinal materials, so it is too late to make pills. My daughter-in-law thinks that instead of looking for another drugstore, it is better to purchase fresh medicinal materials in the name of the palace, and then It is more appropriate to order those three pharmacies to work day and night to make medicines as soon as possible. I wonder what your father thinks?"
King Zhennan pondered for a moment, thinking that Nangong Yue had always been safe in her work, she was solely responsible for the pharmaceutical matters before, and she had never made any mistakes, so she agreed: "Okay, the king will hand over all the pharmaceutical matters to you, Concubine Prince. Come and do it. If there is any place where this king needs to come forward, please come and report to this king."
"My daughter-in-law understands, I thanked my father." Nangong Yuefu thanked her, "If the father has no other orders, the daughter-in-law will retire first."
"Go back." King Zhennan waved his hand.
Nangong Yue bowed and stepped back.
After returning to Bixiaotang, Nangongyue first asked Baihui to draw up a notice, she read it and said, "You go to Qianjintang in a while and say that I need some medicinal materials here, and if they have them, they will be delivered. The palace is coming."
Baihui nodded in agreement.
She first instructed the servants in the outer courtyard to post the notice on the notice board at the North City Gate, and then she took a green hooded carriage and went to Yaoxing Street, but this time, she was not going to the three houses she went to daily. A pharmacy, but a small pharmacy at the end of the street.
On the plaque above the pharmacy are written three golden characters of dragon flying and phoenix dance: Qianjintang.
This is not the first time Baihui has come to Qianjintang, so the guys in the shop also remember her. As soon as she got off the carriage, they greeted her in a hurry, greeted her warmly into the lobby, and hurriedly found someone to inform the main house. .
Boss Jin quickly came from behind, nodded and greeted him with a bowed head, smiling from ear to ear: "Miss Baihui, seeing that magpie barking on the branch early the next morning, she knew that a noble person would be coming today. Sure enough! Miss Baihui, hurry up and sit inside!" He smiled and led Baihui to a small hall behind the lobby.
This Qianjintang is not big, but it is only half the size of Dejitang. The decoration and furniture inside are still relatively new. After all, it has only been opened for five years.
Boss Jin hurriedly ordered the servants to serve tea, then rubbed his hands together, looked at Baihui earnestly, and asked implicitly, "Miss Baihui is here this time, but what are your orders?" The color of anticipation.
Baihui sat down on the armchair beside her, her waist was straight, and said sternly: "Boss Jin, originally my master didn't intend to do business with strangers casually. Last time I ran into Boss Jin at Shantang, and I saw Boss Jin, you are kind to others. , kindly take care of the orphans in Shantang, and want to be honest and not bad at heart, so as not to mix it with medicinal materials. It’s just that my master doesn’t need another family to make medicines for the time being.”
Seeing Boss Jin's disappointment, Baihui smiled and said, "However, my master needs to purchase a lot of medicinal materials now. I came here to ask Boss Jin if he is interested in this business?"
"I'm interested, of course I'm interested!" Boss Jin's eyes lit up, and he responded in a row, and asked respectfully, "Dare to ask girl, what other medicinal herbs does your master need?"
Baihui took out a folded prescription from her sleeve and handed it to the other party.
That Boss Jin hurriedly opened the recipe, swept it over quickly, with a look of joy on his face, he couldn't help raising his voice and said, "It's a coincidence, I just got a batch of kalan leaves in this shop yesterday, about two hundred kilograms... "He looked at Baihui with questioning eyes.
"Boss Jin, you will send this batch of galanth leaves to the Zhennan Palace in the afternoon, and tell the concierge that it is the medicinal herbs that the concubine asked for." Baihui said.
Boss Jin took a deep breath, his eyes could not hide the surprise, and his tongue trembled slightly and said: "Difficult... Could it be that Mrs. Xiao is..."
Baihui nodded and gave a light warning: "Boss Jin, my concubine believes in your character, so don't disappoint the concubine."
"That's natural! Don't worry, girl." Boss Jin quickly assured.
As he said that, he took out a heavy purse from his sleeve, stuffed it into Baihui, and said with a smile, "Thanks to the girl for her kind words in front of the imperial concubine, this is the next little thought. Miss Baihui, wait for the matter. After it is completed, I will definitely reward the girl heavily in the future!"
Baihui naturally accepted the purse, and after that, Boss Jin diligently escorted her out of the house and watched her carriage go away...
That afternoon, the concierge of the palace received a post from Qianjintang.
Boss Jin and the dozen or so heavy baskets of medicinal herbs he brought were put into the house through the side door.
After entering the mansion, Boss Jin realized that it was very lively inside. There were already dozens of baskets of various medicinal materials piled up behind the door, and three people who looked like medicine dealers stood behind the medicinal materials, bowing and standing.
Boss Jin glanced around for half a turn, and his eyes quickly fell on Nangong Yue, who was picking along the dozens of baskets of medicinal herbs. The merchants went to weigh and check out, and the drug dealers who were not selected could only leave sadly.
Boss Jin waited patiently by the side... After about a stick of incense, Nangong Yue finally walked up to the middle-aged pharmacist next to him and carefully looked at the baskets of Zhu Luoguo brought by him.
"Prince Concubine," Boss Jin seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still bowed his head and said, "Please forgive the little one to say something, these Zhu Luoguo are a bit inappropriate..."
The middle-aged medicine merchant was so angry that his entire face turned red, and said angrily, "You are talking nonsense!"
Boss Jin glanced at the middle-aged drug dealer with contempt, and scolded righteously: "This brother, businessmen must be honest, especially those of us who sell medicinal materials. The quality of medicinal materials is related to the lives of patients, and we should Be careful."
As he spoke, he turned his head and explained to Nangong Yue: "Prince Concubine, these baskets of Zhu Luoguo are a mixture of Northern Zhu Luoguo and South Zhu Luoguo. Although both are Zhu Luoguo, but The medicinal properties of North Zhu Luoguo are slightly better than that of South Zhu Luoguo, but the North Zhu Luoguo grows in the northeast, North China and other northern regions, and only South Zhu Luoguo grows in the south. The two kinds of Zhu Luoguo seem to be different when they are fresh. Very large, the northern saffron is purplish red with plump flesh, while the southern saffron is brownish-red, shriveled and shrunken, but after processing it seems to be almost the same, many unscrupulous drug dealers often mix the two kinds of saffron together When the top-grade Beizhu Luoguo comes to sell, it is usually difficult to tell the difference even if there are not experienced and experienced masters in the big shop, and when the small ones are young, because his father went early, he was forced to take charge of the house early, and he was deceived several times. I have been taught a lesson. What Xiao said is true, and the Concubine Shizi will know when she asks people from other pharmacies."
Boss Jin's words are coherent and well-founded, but the middle-aged pharmacist's face became more and more ugly. By the end, he was sweating profusely, and he wiped the sweat with his cuff and said: "Sir... Zhu Luoguo is slightly better than Nanzhu Luoguo, but if it is processed properly, it will not affect the medicinal properties. The processing master in the small shop is an old master for decades..."
Nangong Yue lightly interrupted the middle-aged pharmacist: "Let's not mention the skill of your concocting master, this is not an excuse to be confused."
She gave a wink, and several old women came up immediately and invited the middle-aged drug dealer away.
"Boss Jin." Nangong Yue looked at Boss Jin and smiled.
"I've seen Concubine Shi." Boss Jin bowed to Nangong Yue again and said respectfully, "Last time in Shantang, I didn't know the identity of Concubine Shi, if there is anything rude, please don't take offense to Concubine Shi. The little one heard that the palace needs to purchase a batch of medicinal herbs, and it happened that the small shop had just bought a batch of cyanophyllum leaves, so he took the initiative to recommend it. Please take a look at the concubine, these are all good cyanobacteria leaves." , he turned sideways and made the request respectfully.
Nangong Yue walked to the bamboo baskets, picked up the indigo leaves from each of them and looked at them, then said cheerfully, "Boss Jin, the concubine of this world believes in you, so you don't have to look at these indigo leaves. Ye Wangfu has bought it. If there are other medicinal materials, they can also be sent to the Wangfu."
Boss Jin was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Concubine Prince."
Immediately, the old woman came over and moved a few baskets of chili leaves to the side for weighing, and then a nanny led Boss Jin to the account room to settle the medicine payment.
Everything is in order.
When Boss Jin settled the account and left, Nangong Yue continued to look at the medicinal materials brought by other pharmacists. She had to see each medicinal material in person before deciding whether to accept it or not.
On this day, the Zhennan Wangfu was lively until it was dark. From time to time, pharmaceutical farmers and pharmaceutical merchants came to the Wangfu to sell medicinal materials, and some pharmaceutical masters came to recommend themselves. nothing……
When she was finally able to take a breath, Nangong Yue rubbed her shoulders tiredly and took Baihui to the warehouse.
This storeroom was temporarily opened to collect medicinal materials. As soon as the door was opened, a strong smell of medicinal herbs rushed toward the face. Nangong Yue walked straight in and came to a few baskets of chia blue leaves placed in the corner, and picked it up. A piece was torn apart and placed in the palm of the hand, first observed, and then placed under the nose to sniff.
After a while, she took out the handkerchief and wiped her hands, took a few galan leaves, wrapped them in her arms, and said, "Tomorrow, you will bring these galan leaves to the Lijia pharmacy in person. Remember, Qian Don't let a piece fall."
Baihui knew that this order was of great importance, so she answered cautiously, "Yes. Concubine Shi."
"Let's go out." Nangong Yue was indeed exhausted, and it was conceivable that more pharmacists and pharmacists would come to sell herbs in the next few days. None of these herbs can go wrong, and Nangong Yue still has a lot to do.
After returning to Bixiao Hall, Nangong Yue went to the clean room to wash off the smell of medicine, and when her wet hair was dry, dinner was already ready.
After the meal, Nangong Yue sat in front of the oil lamp, took out the galan leaves wrapped in the veil, and watched with great interest.
Baihui had also carefully looked at the galan leaves. These baskets of galan leaves were shaped like blades and were blue in color. The meridians of the leaves were light purple, and there was nothing unusual. At this moment, she also picked up a galan leaf and looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but ask: "Prince Prince, what's wrong with this galan leaf?"
"This is not a galan leaf." Nangong Yue said meaningfully, "this is a heart-burning blue. Its shape is very similar to a galan leaf, except that the veins in the middle are a bit deeper than that of a galan leaf, and the biggest feature is that it The juice has a faint stench."
Baihui asked cautiously, "Is it poisonous?"
"Poisonous, but not enough to kill." Nangong Yue chuckled and explained, "It will make people's minds chaotic, their minds chaotic, and even fall into madness."
While talking, Nangong Yue put the heart-corrupting blue on her hand back, carefully wrapped it together with the piece Baihui had just put in, and continued: "This heart-corrupting blue is not good, it's only rainy in the south. It grows between some cliffs and cliffs in the area, and what is rare is the most expensive. In terms of value, it is much higher than the galanth leaf. If it is said that this Qianjintang accidentally received so much heart-etching blue because it did not know the product, I am afraid it is impossible. ."
Baihui nodded thoughtfully.
Boss Jin of Qianjintang has always been a kind-hearted person, without showing any flaws, and this heart-corrupting blue is too similar to Galan Ye, if he is a little negligent, he will not be able to recognize it. Nangong Yue was fortunate that when she traveled with her grandfather in her previous life, she occasionally saw the heart-eaten blue, and she was also taught how to identify it by her grandfather.
However, the most fortunate thing was the letter that Xiao Hui intercepted.
The content of the letter is actually very simple, roughly it is to let people play tricks in the medicine sent to the army by Luo Yuecheng.
Nangong Yue panicked at the time, but because the season for rushing out a large number of anti-heat medicines had passed, so he listened to Xiao Yi's orders to stay put, until Xiao Yi came back to make a batch of new pills.
At first, Nangong Yue suspected that there might be a problem with the three pharmacies she entrusted, so she made a trip to the three pharmacies herself on the pretext that they needed to make new medicines for them to buy medicinal materials. Fortunately, no abnormality was found.
So, while she let the three pharmacies continue to make medicines, she quietly paid attention until Qianjintang and Xiaoya appeared...
"Baihui," Nangong Yue instructed cautiously, "You can take it to Zhu Xing later, and let him immediately send a reliable person to Yanding City to give it to his grandfather." The grandfather in Nangong Yue's mouth was naturally Lin Jingchen. .
Lin Jingchen is now in Yanding City, which is the best for Nangong Yue!
Baihui bowed to her promise, and took the cloth bag wrapped in eclipse blue to the front yard.
