Lin Jingchen picked up a white fallen flower from the ground. The flower looked like a peach, with delicate and elegant yellow stamens.

"It smells so good." Bamboo also picked up one, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.

"It is indeed Qianmanlan." Lin Jingchen said with certainty, staring at the white flower in his hand. Without waiting for his instructions, Han Qixia had already taken out a deerskin glove, collected the remaining flowers, and carefully packed them in a purse.

When Han Qixia carefully put on her deerskin gloves, Zhuzi swallowed and threw away the flower in his hand as if it were a hot potato. He 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 non-toxic, their pollen is slightly toxic. Smelling too much can make you dizzy and nauseated." He glanced at the bamboo with a half-smile. , "It's not poisonous smoke or mist. Just take one and smell it, it's not harmful."

He turned the Qianmanlan in his hand and continued: "If someone accidentally eats its pollen, it can easily irritate the stomach and cause vomiting and diarrhea. From early October to mid-to-late November, it happens to be the best time for it. Flowering period..."

He looked up at the flower forest in front of him. Another gust of wind blew by, and countless petals fell into the water and floated down with the water...

Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai glanced at each other. The situation was already clear. The flowering period of Qianmanlan should have just arrived. The flowers fell into the river and flowed down the river. They were picked up by the soldiers stationed and patrolling nearby. Mistaken use may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, vomiting and diarrhea. However, the pollen content in the river water is very small, so it is not fatal.

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

Xiao Yi hurriedly asked: "Grandpa, do you have any way to cure the pollen poison?"

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

While he was speaking, he motioned to Han Qixia to break off a branch of Qianmanlan. Han Qixia put the branch into the basket and asked, "Grandpa, the branches of Qianmanlan can also be used as medicine?" Han Qixia just asked for advice. , I’m not surprised, all things are interdependent, and many highly poisonous things can be used as medicine if used properly.

"In that small tribe, they often use Qianmanlan to kill insects, strengthen the heart and relieve pain..." Lin Jingchen talked endlessly to Han Qixia.

Afterwards, everyone collected some flowers and some branches, and then returned home to Yanding City.

Lin Jingchen prescribed a prescription to the military doctor, and the military doctor immediately supervised the helper's mother-in-law to prepare the medicine...

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

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

The other people naturally had no objections and followed Xiao Yi to a stall with a long banner hanging on it. They sat down at two tables, making the originally unpopular stall suddenly become very lively.

"Lady boss, please bring me six bowls of flat food." Xiao Yi said loudly.

"Yes, please wait a moment, sir."

The proprietress and a gray-haired old woman in the shop hurriedly responded, opened the lid of the pot, and poured white and fat flat food into the hot water.

The proprietress saw that these people were men, women and children, and all of them were extraordinary. She knew in her heart that these customers must not be ordinary people, so she cautiously exchanged a look with the old woman and said something to her in a low voice.

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

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

The official Chinese language is Bai Junyi and gentle. At first glance, he is an elegant and elegant young man. When he smiles, he makes people feel like a spring breeze. He can't help but feel good about him and let go of his guard.

"Young Master, you are too polite, please speak frankly." The old woman responded respectfully.

Guan Yubai said politely: "Old lady, we arrived in Yanding City for the first time. In the past few days, the accompanying family members have been experiencing symptoms of acclimatization, vomiting and diarrhea. We asked the doctor to see them, but they didn't show up even after taking decoctions. It's getting better, I wonder if the old lady knows any tricks?"

The old woman was startled, then she smiled so hard that her face wrinkled up and said: "Master, you have asked the right person now. In our Yanding City, around October and November every year, outsiders come to visit us. It's easy to get acclimated, but don't worry, young master, if you are an adult, nothing serious will happen to you. As long as you drink more rice soup and **** tea, you will be fine after a few days."

As soon as the old woman said this, everyone's attention was attracted. Lin Jingchen nodded almost invisibly, saying that the old woman was right. If you were born and raised here, you would have been used to this pollen since childhood, so There will be no similar situation. As for those who are new here, most of them will probably be fine if they stay for a few days. But this does not apply to the army. Just imagine, the war is still going on. If a large number of soldiers are weak due to diarrhea, how can they go to the battlefield to fight?

Guan Yubai frowned slightly and added in confusion: "How can there be such a strange thing? If it were summer, maybe he was weak and suffering from the heat due to the fatigue of traveling and traveling, but it is already October..."

The old woman smiled slightly awkwardly: "I don't know the reason for this. But I heard that it is the same in several nearby cities and villages during this season..."

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

The old woman hurriedly went to help, serving flat food to everyone, and gave them several jars of her own special sauces for them to add by themselves.

"Eat while it's hot, everyone." Xiao Yi greeted everyone enthusiastically and ate with relish, but he was paying attention to Guan Yubai from the corner of his eyes.

Guan Yubai did not move his chopsticks, but tapped his knuckles on the table thoughtfully. Under his half-cast eyes, his eyes were as dark as the deep sea, shining with wisdom and depth.

Suddenly, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Xiao Yi, "Ayi, do you still remember the letter Xiao Hui brought?"

In the past few days, Guan Yubai has been thinking about what the Nanliang people's intentions are. Now it seems that they are one link after another, and they have obviously been planning for a long time.

Xiao Yi suddenly became enlightened when he heard this and raised his brows slightly.

An eagle crows, and Xiao Yi looks up. In the cloudless sky, Xiao Hui makes a powerful cry that will not go away for a long time...

Xiao Yi withdrew his gaze and said to Lin Jingchen, "Grandpa, please help us prepare a preventive prescription. I will send it back to Luoyue City later."

The flowering period of this Thousand Manilla lasts for nearly two months. We cannot let the soldiers vomit and have diarrhea from time to time. It would be best if it can be prevented.

Lin Jingchen responded with a smile. Now that he had found the cause of the disease, it was not difficult for him to prescribe the medicine.

After finishing their meal, Xiao Yi sent Lin Jingchen and the others back to the garrison mansion.

Soon, Lin Jingchen wrote a prescription that could be used for prevention, adjusted it according to the medicine used, and specified the steps for making the medicine.

Xiao Yi solemnly put it away and sent Lin Jingchen away. Only Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai were left in the study, with Xiaosi and Zhuzi accompanying them.

"Ayi." Guan Yubai thought for a moment and said, "This prescription... will be sent back to Luoyue City in a few days. In addition, someone went to the city to post some notices, saying that the southern Xinjiang army was not acclimatized to the local environment and asked the people Collecting prescriptions."

Xiao Yi did not ask the reason, and naturally asked Zhuzi to call Li Shoubei, and he carefully put away the prescription first.

Guan Yubai smiled lightly, and the sunlight fell on him through the window, making his face become more elegant and gentle, and his eyes were filled with brilliance of wisdom.

Three days later.

A gray homing pigeon spread its wings and flew towards Luoyue City.

After flying for a whole day and night, the gray pigeon finally arrived at its destination. It flapped its wings and flew into Bixiaotang. Then its wings flapped faster, and its chubby body showed nervousness. Feel.

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

"Gugu..."

The pigeons screamed excitedly. Fortunately, the annoying big guy was not there.

Huamei immediately untied the bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg and ran towards the house, "The Crown Princess, this is the Crown Prince's flying pigeon delivering the message."

Nangong Yue had just finished washing and dressing up. Now she no longer even thought about having breakfast. She couldn't wait to read the letter, her expression gradually becoming serious.

She immediately ordered Baihui to serve with pen and ink, first copied down the prescription written by Lin Jingchen on the second piece of silk paper, and said: "Baihui, go to Huichun Hall, Lijia Pharmacy and Deji Hall," The three pharmacies were the ones that made the anti-summer medicine and anti-miasma medicine for Nangong Yue. "Just tell them that the weather is getting cold and ask them to stop making the anti-summer medicine. First, quickly prepare all the medicinal materials in this recipe. Prepare as much as you can." You must choose the best medicinal materials and don’t be vague. In two days, I will go to them in person to see the medicinal materials and order a batch of patent medicines..."

"Yes, Crown Princess." Baihui immediately accepted the order and left to do some work, while Nangong Yue lit the two pieces of tissue paper to ashes.

On this day, Baihui didn't return home until sunset.

When the appointed time came, the master and the servant went out in a green carriage early in the morning. It was just past midnight. They visited Huichun Hall, Lijia Pharmacy and Deji Hall in succession.

At each store, Nangong Yue carefully checked the medicinal materials they had prepared. It was not until two hours later that she arrived at the last Deji Hall.

Not far ahead, another carriage stopped at the entrance of Deji Hall, so the driver had to slow down.

Dejitang has been making anti-summer medicine for Nangong Yue for several months. During this period, Nangong Yue and Baihui came here many times. The clerk recognized Nangong Yue’s carriage at a glance and asked someone to inform the boss. , nodded and bowed to greet 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...Brother Li, please wait a moment."

After saying that, the waiter 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 bit messy. Several baskets of herbs that were just unloaded are placed haphazardly on the ground. These herbs are freshly picked and have not been processed before. They are green and green, some are stained with dew, and some are even Even the roots are covered with mud...

Baihui first lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and then carefully helped Nangong Yue get out of the carriage as well.

Nangong Yue wore a pomegranate red brocade embroidered trousers today, and styled her hair into a simple heart-shaped bun with only a simple bamboo white jade hairpin inserted. She looked elegant and charming.

She had just stood firm when she heard hurried footsteps in the shop. A middle-aged man wearing an azure brocade robe quickly came up to him. It was Boss Ji of Deji Hall.

"Mrs. Xiao!"

As soon as he heard that the big customer was coming, Boss Ji immediately put down what he was doing and came out to greet the guests in person, with a warm and hospitable smile on his face.

Over the past few months, Boss Ji has already known Nangong Yue's identity. However, seeing that Nangong Yue did not want to reveal his identity, he could only pretend to be ignorant.

"Boss Ji." Nangong Yue nodded slightly.

Boss Ji hurriedly welcomed Nangong Yue into the house. At the same time, he glared at the waiter without any trace of urgency, which meant that he had to clean up the entrance of the shop quickly! Let your guests laugh!

The guy rubbed the back of his head and nodded.

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

When Baihui suddenly came to the drug store two days ago to ask them to stop making summer-relieving medicine, Boss Ji felt sorry, but he was not surprised. He had known for a long time that although the business of heat-relieving medicine was big, it would not be done for a long time. , even a child with a yellow mouth understands that once the hottest summer is over, the anti-summer medicine will naturally be unnecessary. He comforts himself in his heart, fortunately, there is still anti-miasma medicine.

Unexpectedly, Baihui brought a new business.

Boss Ji once carefully looked at the medicinal materials he was asked to purchase, such as nutmeg, Schisandra chinensis, Fulonggan... all have the effect of antivomiting and antidiarrheal, like an antidiarrheal medicine, but Qichuhua, Jialanye ... etc. Most of them are used for detoxification. In addition, there are some medicinal materials that increase the body's vitality and resistance.

Generally speaking, only some commonly used medicines are made into patent medicines. But if the purchased medicinal materials are used to make the same medicine, Boss Ji really can’t think of which kind of common medicines are made. medicine.

If it were an ordinary guest, Boss Ji would probably ask clearly, but this lady in front of him... Boss Ji shut up knowingly.

Nangong Yue took a slow sip of the hot tea, put down the teacup gently, and asked Baihui to hand over a piece of paper, which contained the specific preparation methods and steps for this batch of patent medicines. After he looked at it, he said: "Boss Ji, can you make this medicine?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Boss Ji patted his chest and agreed.

Boss Ji has been in this business for so long and knows a little bit about it. Although the medicinal materials used in this batch of patent medicines are a bit weird, the preparation method is simple and clear, so there will be no problems.

Boss Ji said flatteringly: "Mrs. Xiao, I will order the master to trial-produce a few bottles and give them to you..." He wanted to send them to Zhennan Prince's Mansion, but he choked on his words again. , had to laugh a few times, "You can send someone to pick it up in two days."

"There's no rush." ​​Nangong Yue said calmly, "Boss Ji, can you take me to see the medicinal materials?"

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

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

Boss Ji led the way and led Nangong Yue’s master and servant through the courtyard. As he walked, he said: "Mrs. Xiao, a small part of the medicinal materials has been processed now, and most of the raw medicinal materials are still in the yard and warehouse. Don't worry. , it is definitely a good medicinal material."

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. In short, it is detoxification and efficiency enhancement. It is no exaggeration to say that the processing room is the most important place in a medicine shop. On weekdays, Boss Ji will never allow others to set foot in it easily, even the clerks in the shop. But Nangong Yue is different. The dignified Princess Zhennan will never come to her shop to steal her skills, right?

"Mrs. Xiao, please!" Boss Ji stretched out his hand to make an invitation.

The huge processing room is like a big kitchen, filled with wine, salt, ginger, vinegar, honey, oil and other condiments, as well as miscellaneous bran, soil, clams, glue, sand and other other materials. The smells of medicine, condiments, and cooking fumes mixed together, and it was extremely hot inside. The master cook and several apprentices inside were all sweating profusely.

Here there are apprentices simmering rehmannia glutinosa in wine, over there there are people frying nutmeg with talcum powder, and a little further on, there are people frying citrus aurantium husk with wheat bran... A master master is skillfully treating the young masters and apprentices. Give orders.

Boss Ji led Nangong Yue to look around and said, "Mrs. Xiao, don't worry. The master craftsman in my shop has been a master for fifty years. He can bake, bake, and stir-fry. , washing, soaking, rinsing, steaming and boiling, he is proficient in everything. He can definitely exert the effect of medicinal materials 100%!"

Nangong Yue picked up a piece of fried hawthorn and looked at it. Boss Ji hurriedly explained: "Mrs. Xiao, this hawthorn needs to be fried so that the medicinal effect will be good and it can strengthen the stomach and digestion." Then he pointed to the side. Looking at the dirty slices of Atractylodes macrocephala, he said, "This Atractylodes macrocephala needs to be fried in soil, and the soil will be sifted out later."

Nangong Yue glanced at it casually, "Fulong Gan stir-fried Atractylodes, the heat was a little too high, but it's still pretty good."

The master on the side couldn't help but look over when he heard this. Just now, he was distracted for a moment, and the apprentice fired Atractylodes for two more breaths. Unexpectedly, this subtle difference could be seen at a glance.

Boss Ji was also startled. Fulonggan is commonly known as Zaoxin soil, which is formed by burning firewood for many years. Many ordinary people also know that Zao Xin Tu can treat symptoms of deficiency, cold, blood loss and vomiting, but Fulong Gan is the name of the medicine, and it is the name used by those in the know. It seemed that the Crown Princess knew a little bit about the business. Fortunately, he never intended to fool the Crown Princess. Boss Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief and became more respectful and cautious in his behavior.

After leaving the processing room, Boss Ji took Nangong Yue to the yard and warehouse to look at other raw medicinal materials that had just been purchased... About half an hour later, Nangong Yue and Baihui left De Jitang.

After visiting the three pharmacies on this trip, they returned to Bixiaotang.

As soon as Nangong Yue got off the carriage, Aunt Luo came to report: "Prince Princess, the guests have already arrived."

Today is the day when the King of Zhennan takes in a concubine. Since he is taking in a girl from the Fang family, the Wei family asked Nangong Yue for instructions and set up four tables of banquets in the outer courtyard and flower hall of the palace to entertain the guests. Attention to family.

But that’s it. After all, no matter how expensive a concubine is, she is just a concubine. There was no red or colorful decoration in the palace on this day, and Nangong Yue did not attend this small banquet. The only guests who came were only ladies of the fourth rank or below, who came here to please them. Just the palace.

At an auspicious hour, a pink sedan carried people in from the corner gate of the palace and carried them to the main courtyard to serve tea to the young Fang family.

But Xiao Fang closed the door tightly and kept Fang Ziman out.

The news immediately reached the ears of the Wei family. The Wei family did not try to persuade him, but directly reported it to the King of Zhennan.

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

The King of Zhennan had a good time with the guests in the outer courtyard, got a little drunk, and then went to sleep in the new aunt's courtyard. At this time, it was already the moonlight above the willow trees.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the palace, Bixiaotang is still so quiet and peaceful. That is to say, the maids occasionally come to report when Miss Fang Liu was carried in, and when the banquets in the inner and outer courtyards ended. etc.

After all the guests dispersed, the night gradually deepened.

Nangong Yue was alone in her small study, flipping through the notes left by her grandfather, and scrawled and corrected a prescription several times.

At this time, a burst of messy footsteps sounded from outside. Nangong Yue frowned slightly, and faintly heard the nervous voice of a little maid: "Sister Baihui... I'm not good..." The voice was suppressed, Nangong Yue I heard the word "ma'am" intermittently.

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

After a while, Baihui walked in quickly through the curtain, bent her knees and said: "Prince Concubine, Madam just hanged herself..."
