Zhurou

Chapter 93 Prescriptions
As soon as Li and Wei left, Zhao Mingzhi followed Feng Shu and Mu Xiang back to another courtyard not far from here.

The other courtyard is not big, only two or five or six houses.

As soon as he entered the door, there was already a cook guarding the side, who came to ask about taboos.

Since we are living here as a guest, it is better to cause less trouble, Zhao Mingzhi shook his head and said, "Please trouble me, I don't have any taboos."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Mu Xiang, who had been following behind, said, "Young lady doesn't like onion and garlic, you can use it for seasoning, but don't make it too fine, lest you won't be able to pick it out sometimes."

Then he turned his head and asked Zhao Mingzhi: "The second master told me that the girl's taste is bland, but the servant girl thought about it, so I still have to ask for nothing. If you have any preferences, you may not have a choice after working hard all the way. It's rare that you are returning home now. Naturally It’s better to eat comfortably.”

The cook wiped her hands on the cloth around her waist, and said: "Exactly, I have all my skills, and I can only hold back on weekdays. Finally I got a chance, and the girl asked me to show some skills. "

Zhao Mingzhi had no choice but to say: "I just ate noodles in the afternoon, but I'm not hungry. Please make some homemade food."

The cook got the word, and was gearing up to go away.

When Zhao Mingzhi packed up his luggage and came out, four or five dishes and a pot of soup had already been placed on the square table in the middle hall.

The cook was standing on one side with her arms tied, and said: "I don't know what the girl likes, but because I heard that they are from the capital, I learned to cook some dishes from the capital, and some local dishes are often eaten, so I can give the girl a taste."

He said again: "Ma'am, I will wait in the kitchen outside. If there is anything salty or not used to it, just come and shout."

After finishing speaking, exit by oneself.

What Zhao Mingzhi said just now was not polite, she was full of worries at the moment, so naturally she had no appetite, so she saw that there was round-grained rice, so she made a bowl of rice with hot chicken soup, served it with a few side dishes, and it was considered a complete meal.

Not long after the meal, Guanshi Feng walked in with Dr. Liu.

The doctor's hair was gray, but his complexion was rosy, with few wrinkles.

He looked, heard and asked everything, and carefully looked at Zhao Mingzhi's wound, and spent half a day on it.

Because it took too long, Zhao Mingzhi's heart tightened.

She couldn't help but think to herself: When I was in Caizhou, I was only focused on finding a doctor for my younger brother, why didn't I actually have some hidden disease, but didn't know it?
Fortunately, Doctor Liu quickly said: "Young lady, this injury was treated in a timely manner, and the technique is also proper. It should be done by a veteran. It's just that there are no signs of recurrence. If you want to heal quickly, you need to do less movement. Just rest carefully."

He said again: "Fortunately, the ointment this rubbed on is very effective—I don't know where it came from? Is there any ready-made one for me to see?"

Zhao Mingzhi took out the medicine bottle given by Li Xun.

Dr. Liu opened it and sniffed it, then dipped a little bit with his finger, tasted it with his tongue, and then said: "Young lady rubs this medicine on her own, the one made by our clinic is not as good as this one."

For a while, he wrote a few more medical records, and then prescribed a prescription, and said to Mu Xiang who was standing beside him, "Fry this for two doses first, and I will go back to the doctor after eating."

Zhao Mingzhi took over the medical case and prescription.

It is said that a long illness makes a doctor. Although she is not a chronic illness, she has been reading the pulse records and medical records opened by those medical officers for Zhao Hong, and she has seen some experience. Now she just scanned it once and asked: "I'm really curious. , Look at this prescription, many of them are medicines for sleeping and calming the mind, after taking it, won't you be sleepy during the day?"

Dr. Liu said: "This medicine is for the purpose of sleeping well. The girl thinks a lot and sleeps lightly. It is more serious to think less and worry less. After taking the medicine, she sleeps for ten days and half a month. Once she is refreshed, Most of the people recovered, and the injuries healed quickly."

Zhao Mingzhi then asked: "If there is something urgent to do and you can't sleep much, can you take other medicines?"

Dr. Liu said: "It's better to sleep more and think less. Only by recuperating slowly can the root cause of the disease be cured. This medicine is only a helper. If you neglect it now, it will stay at the root of the disease in the future."

Zhao Mingzhi nodded his thanks, took the prescription, and was about to order some soup for his guests.

Before the soup was served, Dr. Liu suddenly asked: "I also have a question, and I couldn't help but say a few more words—Miss Zhao has black warts on her face, and she has a different complexion, but I don't know if she has a difficult disease, or?"

Zhao Mingzhi walked here and got used to this face long ago. Li Xun and Wei Chengyan met each other on weekdays, and they didn't react at all. Now when he was asked, he immediately woke up and said: "It's not a disease, it's just caused by drinking soup and medicine. This complexion."

Doctor Liu closed his mouth and got up to leave.

As soon as the person left, seeing that Mu Xiang was about to go out with the medicine in hand, Zhao Mingzhi stopped her and said, "For the time being, there is no need to pick up this medicine."

Mu Xiang was taken aback.

Zhao Mingzhi said: "I have some important things to do in front of me, and I have just arrived in Jingzhao Mansion. I have to leave early and return late, and I can't sleep peacefully at home. I'm afraid that this medicine is not good, so I will use it."

Mu Xiang hesitated and asked: "I don't know why the girl has to go out early and return late. There are also a few servants in the mansion. Today, the second head also specially ordered that eight people be drawn from the bodyguard bureau to obey the order. If it’s not enough, it’s cheaper to order a few more, you don’t need to go out by yourself, it’s freezing cold..."

And said: "It's really not good, what is the girl's original plan, why don't you leave it to the servant girl?"

Zhao Mingzhi shook his head and said, "I also wanted to ask you, but as the guide, since I mentioned it, I just came to ask you about the distribution of streets and houses in this city."

Mu Xiang didn't hesitate, and when Zhao Mingzhi asked, she immediately went to get a map of Jingzhao Mansion.

This map is much simpler than the map that Zhao Mingzhi saw in Caizhou, but it is much more detailed than the blueprints that ordinary people can buy. It is presumably for the escort's own use.

She explained the drawing.

It turns out that Jingzhao Mansion is divided into an outer city and an inner city, and there is another small and medium-sized city, which is the former imperial city. Currently, half of it is idle, and the other half is allocated for the common people to do business.

The other courtyard where Zhao Mingzhi is currently living is in the outer city, next to the city gate, and not a short distance from the inner city.

And the teahouses and restaurants she wants to go to are actually everywhere.

Unlike the capital city, which is more prosperous as it gets closer to the imperial city, there is no such thing as a "center" in Jingzhao Mansion, because the Jiedu envoy Pei Yong is not usually in the city, but is mostly in the military camp outside the city, or goes to Qinzhou, Fengxiang, etc. Therefore, the closer to the city gate where the army is stationed, the more officials buy property here, and the more expensive the land is.

When Zhao Mingzhi heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Then if I want to go around the barracks, will anyone stop me?"

Mu Xiang said: "It doesn't matter if you look at it from a distance. There are many people doing business in the vicinity, and it is actually very lively. Some soldiers come out to buy by themselves."

Zhao Mingzhi nodded yes, and sure enough, from the next day, he asked Mu Xiang to take him out for a walk.

She didn't run around like headless chickens, she first selected a few wine shops that sold more common drinks, teahouses near several major academies and state schools, and restaurants and markets near the garrison outside the city.

Let's say that Zhao Mingzhi left here early and returned late, but Li Xun and Wei Chengyan also left and never came back.

Li Xun sent someone to deliver a few pill prescriptions halfway, and asked someone to take a message, saying that he couldn't get out of it for a while, and told her to just rest assured and ask someone to do it if she had something to do, and the subordinates would wait for it.

Besides, the lieutenant general "Liao Mian" who was mentioned on the way has a clue. After a few days, Wei Chengyan will come to take her to meet her.
