www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
On October 15th, the Xiliang Baggage Battalion once again escorted a batch of grain and grass to Dengli City under the orders of Icaru. They were immediately intercepted by the Divine 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 military camp to return his orders to Tian He and convey Xiao Yi's military orders.
It was a matter of great importance to the army. Tian He did not dare to neglect it and immediately went to Zhennan Palace to ask for an audience with the King of Zhennan.
After a stick of incense, Nangong Yue was summoned to King Zhennan’s study.
"Father."
Nangong Yue was introduced into the study by Platycodon grandiflorum and saluted King Zhennan.
The King of Zhennan looked a little tired. Ever since Qiao Ruolan disappeared, Mrs. Qiao had been coming to the palace to cry and make trouble all day long, making it hard for him to eat or sleep well. But when he saw Nangong Yue coming over, he still said kindly: "The Crown Princess is exempt 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 have come to see King Zhennan about medicine today.
She greeted Tian He calmly, and then King Zhennan got down to business: "Prince Concubine, I heard from General Tian that, Crown Princess, you made a batch of medicine for the army before." With this, the King of Zhennan felt a little relieved. He had a better impression of his daughter-in-law. She provided medicine to the army but did not seek favors from him. This was the style of a royal concubine.
Nangong Yue said respectfully: "Yes, father. When my daughter-in-law heard Ayi say that there were soldiers in the army who were acclimatized, she went to three drug stores to make some pills and asked General Tian to help send them to the front. As a daughter-in-law, these are the little things she can do."
"Okay!" King Zhennan nodded with satisfaction, "That batch of medicine has been sent to Yanding City, but now that the war is tense, these medicines are far from enough to equip the entire army, and a large amount needs to be ordered. Princess Concubine, in my opinion, three pharmacies are too few. How about you find a few more pharmacies to make medicine together?"
"Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say." Tian He clasped his fists and said, "General, this medicine is a military requirement, so you need to be careful. There are too many drug stores, and if some of them are evil and unscrupulous, , it’s just a fake thing, but it’s a bad thing.”
The King of Zhennan frowned slightly, showing hesitation.
Seeing this, Nangong Yue added: "Father, what Old General Tian said is quite reasonable. Firstly, it is difficult for a newly discovered shop to guarantee its integrity, and secondly, the quality of the pharmaceutical master 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. I have also prepared anti-summer medicine for my daughter-in-law throughout the summer. Only in this way can I allow them to serve in the military." Pharmaceuticals. These three are big drugstores in Luoyue City. In fact, there is still some spare capacity on hand, but there are too few medicinal materials, so there is no time to rush to make pills. The daughter-in-law thought that instead of looking for another drugstore and only increasing hidden dangers, it is better to purchase fresh medicines in the name of the palace. For medicinal materials, it would be more appropriate to order the three drug stores to work day and night to prepare the medicine as soon as possible. I wonder what my father thinks?"
The King of Zhennan pondered for a moment, thinking that Nangong Yue had always been prudent in doing things. She had been solely responsible for the pharmaceutical matters before and had never made any mistakes, so he agreed: "Okay, then I will leave all the pharmaceutical matters to the king. Crown Princess, you take care of it. If there is any need for my intervention, Crown Princess, just come and report to me."
"My daughter-in-law understands and I have thanked my father." Nangong Yue thanked her, "If my father has no other instructions, my daughter-in-law will leave first."
"Stay back." King Zhennan waved his hand.
Nangong Yue bowed and stepped back.
After returning to Bixiao Hall, Nangong Yue first asked Baihui to draft a notice. After reading it, she said: "You will go to Qianjin Hall later and tell me that I need some medicinal materials here. If they have any, Just send it to the palace."
Baihui nodded in agreement.
She first asked the boy in the outer courtyard to post the notice on the notice board at the north city gate, and then she got on a green-covered carriage and went to Yaoxing Street. However, this time she was not going to go to her usual place. Instead of the three drugstores, it was a small drugstore at the end of the street.
On the plaque above the medicine shop are three golden characters with flying dragons and phoenixes: Qian Jin Tang.
This was not the first time Baihui came to Qianjintang, so the shop assistants all remembered her. As soon as they saw her getting off the carriage, they hurriedly greeted her, warmly welcomed her into the lobby, and hurriedly found someone to go to. Notify the owner.
Boss Jin quickly came from behind and greeted him with a bow and a bow, smiling from ear to ear: "Miss Baihui, when you saw the magpie chirping on the branch the next morning, you knew that someone noble was coming today. As expected! Miss Baihui, hurry up and sit inside!" He led Baihui to a small hall behind the lobby with a smile.
This Qianjintang is really not big, but only half the size of Dejitang. The decoration and furniture inside are still relatively new. After all, it has only been open for five years.
Boss Jin hurriedly ordered the waiter to serve tea, then rubbed his hands, looked at Baihui eagerly, and asked implicitly: "Miss Baihui is here this time, what are your orders?" His eyes were bright, and there was something hidden in them. The look of constant anticipation.
Baihui sat down on an armchair nearby, with her back straight, and said seriously: "Boss Jin, originally my master did not intend to do business with strangers casually. Last time I ran into Boss Jin in the Shantang, and when I met him, Boss, you are kind to people and take good care of the orphans in the charity. You want to be honest and kind-hearted, so that you will not adulterate the medicinal materials. It’s just that my master doesn’t need anyone else to make medicine for the time being."
Seeing Boss Jin's disappointed look, Baihui smiled and said: "However, my master now needs to purchase a large amount of medicinal materials. 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 shone, he responded repeatedly, and respectfully asked, "May I ask, girl, what other medicinal materials does your master need?"
Baihui took out a folded prescription from her sleeve and handed it to the other party.
Boss Jin hurriedly opened the prescription and scanned it quickly. His face was filled with joy and he couldn't help but raise his voice and said: "It's a coincidence. A batch of Galan leaves just arrived in this shop yesterday. There are about two hundred of them. Jin..." He looked at Baihui with questioning eyes.
"Boss Jin, please send this batch of galan leaves to Zhennan Palace this afternoon, and tell the concierge that they are the medicinal materials that the Crown Princess wants," Baihui said.
Boss Jin took a breath, couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, and said with a trembling tongue: "Is it possible... could it be that Mrs. Xiao is..."
Baihui nodded and gave a faint warning: "Boss Jin, my eldest concubine believes in your character. You must not let the eldest concubine down."
"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 speaking kindly in front of the Crown Princess, this is a small thought. Miss Baihui , when things are done, I will definitely reward the girl generously!"
Baihui naturally accepted the purse, and then Boss Jin diligently escorted her out of the door in person, watching her carriage gradually 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 materials he brought were put into the house through a side door.
After entering the house, Boss Jin found that it was very busy inside. Dozens of baskets of various medicinal materials had been piled behind the door, and three people who looked like pharmacists were standing behind the medicinal materials, bowing.
Boss Jin glanced around half a circle, and his eyes quickly fell on Nangong Yue. He saw her selecting from dozens of baskets of medicinal materials. The selected medicinal materials were quickly dragged away by the mother-in-law, and Taking the pharmacist to weigh and settle the bill, the pharmacist who was not selected could only leave sadly.
Boss Jin waited patiently... After about a stick of incense, Nangong Yue finally walked up to the middle-aged pharmacist next to him and looked carefully at the baskets of Zhuluo fruits that the other party brought.
"Prince Concubine," Boss Jin seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he still bowed and said, "please forgive me for talking too much, these Zhuluo Guo are a little inappropriate..."
The middle-aged drug dealer was so angry that his whole face turned red, and he said angrily: "You are talking nonsense!"
Boss Jin glanced at the middle-aged drug dealer with contempt, and said righteously: "Brother, businessmen must be honest, especially those of us who sell medicinal materials. The quality of the medicinal materials is related to the life of the patient. , we should be more cautious."
As he said that, he turned to Nangong Yue and explained: "Prince Princess, these baskets of Chola fruits are mixed from North Chola fruits and South Chola fruits. Although both are Chola fruits, Fruit, but the medicinal properties of the North Chola fruit are slightly better than those of the South Chola fruit, but the North Chola fruit grows in the Northeast, North China and other northern regions, and only the South Chola fruit grows in our south. When these two Chola fruits are fresh It seems that there is a big difference. The northern Chola fruit is purple-red and has plump flesh, while the southern Chola fruit is brownish-red and shriveled. However, after processing, it seems that they are almost the same. Many unscrupulous drug dealers often mix the two kinds of Chola fruits. The high-quality Northern Choru fruits are mixed together for sale. Generally, even in a big shop, it is difficult for an experienced master to tell them apart. When I was young, my father left early and I was forced to take charge of the family early, so I was deceived. It took several times for me to learn a lesson. What I said is true. The Crown Princess will know it when she asks people from other medicine shops."
Boss Jin spoke clearly and logically, while the middle-aged druggist's face became increasingly uglier. By the end, he was sweating profusely. He wiped the sweat with his sleeves and said in a low voice: "The Crown Princess... Although the Northern Choluo fruit is slightly better than the Southern Choluo fruit, if it is processed properly, it will not affect the medicinal properties. The craftsman in the small shop has been a master for decades..."
Nangong Yue calmly interrupted the middle-aged medicine dealer: "Not to mention the skill of your master's processing, this is not an excuse to act like a fool."
She winked, and several women immediately came up and invited the middle-aged drug dealer away.
"Boss Jin." Nangong Yue looked at Boss Jin and smiled slightly.
"I have met the Crown Princess." Boss Jin bowed to Nangong Yue again and said respectfully, "Last time in the charity hall, I didn't know the identity of the Crown Princess. If there is anything rude, please ask the Crown Princess. Don't be offended. I heard that the palace needed to purchase a batch of medicinal materials, and it happened that the small shop had just received a batch of garland leaves, so I hurriedly recommended myself. Princess, please see, these are the best garland leaves. "As he spoke, he turned sideways and respectfully made a petition.
Nangong Yue walked to the bamboo baskets, picked up the blue leaves from each basket and looked at it, and then said cheerfully: "Boss Jin, I believe you, so there is no need to read it. The Royal Palace has bought these Jialanye. If there are other medicinal materials, they can also be sent to the Palace."
Boss Jin was overjoyed and said quickly: "Thank you, Crown Princess."
Immediately, a mother-in-law came over and moved several baskets of blue leaves aside to weigh them. Then a nun led Boss Jin to the accounting 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.
On this day, the Zhennan Palace was busy until dark. From time to time, farmers and drug dealers came to the Palace to sell medicinal materials. Some pharmaceutical masters also came and offered themselves. The concierge was so busy that he couldn't even touch the floor. There is no time to drool...
When she could finally take a breath, Nangong Yue rubbed her shoulders tiredly and took Baihui to the warehouse.
This warehouse was temporarily opened to collect medicinal materials. As soon as the door was opened, a strong smell of medicine hit her face. Nangong Yue walked straight in and came to several baskets of kalan leaves placed in the corner. He picked up a piece, tore it open a little and put it in the palm of his hand. He first observed it, then put it under his nose and smelled it.
After a while, she took out the handkerchief and wiped her hands, wrapped a few Galan leaves, put them in her arms, and said: "Tomorrow, you will personally deliver these Galan leaves to Lijia Pharmacy. Note. Stay here and don’t leave anything behind.”
Baihui knew that this order was of great importance, so she responded cautiously: "Yes. Crown Princess."
"Let's go out." Nangong Yue was indeed tired, and it was conceivable that more pharmacists and farmers would come to sell medicinal materials in the next few days. You can't go wrong with any of these medicinal materials, and Nangong Yue is still very busy.
After returning to Bixiao Hall, Nangong Yue went to the clean room to wash away the smell of medicine. When her wet hair was slightly dry, dinner had been prepared.
After dinner, Nangong Yue sat in front of the oil lamp, took out the galan leaf wrapped in a handkerchief, and looked at it with interest.
Bai Hui had also taken a closer look at the Jialan leaves. In these baskets of Jialan leaves, the leaves were shaped like blades, blue, and the meridians of the leaves were light purple. There was nothing unusual about them. At this moment, she also picked up a piece of Jialan leaf and looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but ask: "Prince Princess, what's wrong with this Jialan leaf?"
"This is not the Galan Leaf." Nangong Yue said meaningfully, "This is the Heart-Eclipsing Flower, also called the Heart-Eclipsing Blue. Its appearance is very similar to the Galan Leaf, except that the veins in the middle are a little darker than the Galan Leaf. points, and the biggest feature is that its juice has a faint fishy smell."
Baihui asked cautiously: "Is it poisonous?"
"Poisonous, but not fatal." Nangong Yue chuckled and explained, "It can make people think confused, confused, and even fall into madness."
As Nangong Yue spoke, she put the Heart-Eclipsing Flower back on her hand and carefully wrapped it up together with the piece of Baihui she had just inserted into it, and continued: "This Heart-Eclipsing Flower is not good. It grows among some cliffs in the rainy areas of the south. It is rare and valuable. In terms of value, it is much higher than that of galan leaves. If this Qianjintang accidentally collected so many heart-eating flowers because they did not know the goods, I am afraid that Not possible."
Bai Hui nodded thoughtfully.
Boss Jin of Qianjintang has always looked like a kind-hearted person without showing any flaws. However, this heart-eclipse flower is so similar to Jialanye that if he had been slightly negligent, he would not have been able to identify it. Nangong Yue was grateful that she had occasionally seen the Heart-Eclipsed Flower when she traveled with her grandfather in her previous life, and was taught how to identify it by her grandfather.
However, the most fortunate thing was the letter Xiao Hui intercepted.
The content of the letter is actually very simple. It basically tells people to manipulate the medicine sent to the army by Luo Yuecheng.
Nangong Yue was panicked at that time, but because the season for rushing to produce a large number of anti-summer pills was over, she listened to Xiao Yi's instructions and stood still until Xiao Yi came back to rush to produce a batch of new pills.
At first, Nangong Yue was suspicious that there might be a problem with the three pharmacies she entrusted with her care, so she went to the three pharmacies in person on the pretext that she needed to make new medicines for them to purchase medicinal materials. Fortunately, no abnormalities were found.
So, while she let the three pharmacies continue to make medicines, she quietly kept an eye on them until Qianjintang and Xiaoya appeared...
"Baihui," Nangong Yue ordered cautiously: "You can take it to Zhu Xing later and ask him to immediately send a reliable person to Yanding City to deliver it to my grandfather." The grandfather mentioned by Nangong Yue Of course it was Lin Jingchen.
Lin Jingchen is now in Yanding City, which is the best thing for Nangong Yue!
Baihui bowed and agreed, taking the cloth bag wrapped with heart-eating flowers to the front yard.
