The medical concubine is too difficult to tease

Chapter 28 Pharmacy
early morning.

In the pavilion, he is dressed in white clothes to surpass the snow, his hair is tied with a jade crown, and the long sword in his hand is silvery all over his body. The man's feet move slightly, his sleeves are raised, the sword is like a white snake spitting out letters, hissing and piercing the wind, and walking like a swimming dragon. The four bodies suddenly raised their swords, like lightning, and the fallen leaves collapsed. The sword energy seemed to be given life, and they fluttered with their clothes.

Outside the courtyard, Wen Wan'er, who was watching the guards standing and waiting, stared intently at the man in the courtyard who looked like a god descending from the mortal world, as if she was fascinated.

Breathing calmly, he turned his wrist, put the sword into the sheath, and finished his morning exercise. Xiao Huan took the brocade handkerchief to wipe off the sweat from his forehead, turned and entered the room.

Wen Wan'er's heart was beating violently, she lowered her head and touched her reddish cheeks, she raised her gentle smile again and led the two servants into the yard.

After the meal was set, Xiao Huan came out from the inner room after washing, waved his hand to make the three of them retreat, sat down and drank a cup of Meishan tea.

"General, there is news!" Yi Xing's voice came from outside, and he stepped into the room in a blink of an eye, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Found it?" Xiao Huan tightened his fingers holding the teacup, raised his eyes and asked.

"The person hasn't been found yet." Yi Xing saw the general's face slumped for a moment, touched his nose, and quickly finished talking about the fifteenth day with a smile. Sure enough, the general's face turned from black to white.

"The patrol team has let the criminal department take over the case. I didn't overhear it. I thought it was strange to go to the criminal department to check the corpse. General, this is the girl's method!"

"People from the Li family did it?" Xiao Huan was surprised.

"Yes, it's Li Zuoxiang's Li Mansion. My brother and I searched all over the capital, but we never thought of going to Li's house!" Yi Xing patted his forehead and said, feeling annoyed that his busy days had been wasted when he came back.

"It didn't say who it was?"

Yi Xing shook his head, "No, I just said that the thieves intercepted the carriage of Li's family that day. When the patrol team arrived, they saw a lot of corpses and several servants. It was the Buddha's birthday. I heard that Li's family had three carriages at that time." The carriage, the whole family and female relatives are here, and the subordinates rushed over when they got the news, and they haven't checked it yet."

"There are no thieves blocking the way at the Son of Heaven's feet. If it's Ruhua's method, then someone is going to deal with her. Go and tell Yi Feng that you must investigate every female family member in Li's residence as soon as possible."

An Ran Court

Xuegu carefully tried the breakfast on the round table with a silver needle, seriously, Li Ru'an walked out of the inner room, and said with a smile, "It seems that we need to find a cook as soon as possible."

"Sister, don't laugh at me. Be careful when sailing for ten thousand years. Alas, the people in the house dare not use it. The small kitchen in the back is messed up again. No, I will go out in the afternoon and see if I can hire a cook." Come back, mother." After finishing the test, Xue Gu wiped the silver needle and said.

"Sister." Li Ren walked in, dressed in plain gray cloth, with Xuegu's newly sewn long poncho, gentle and elegant.

"Well, let's have breakfast."

After the meal, Li Ren wiped his hands. Seeing Li Ru'an went back to the desk and sat down again, he turned his eyes and said, "Sister, reading books every day is a bit boring. I'm going out to buy some books in the afternoon. Do you want to go with me?"

Seeing that the two round girls who were cleaning the table stopped and looked over, their four big eyes were staring at her furtively, Li Ru'an raised her eyebrows, put her fingers on her forehead, and sighed, "Since you mentioned it, if I can't say it, I can't stop today." Now, Xuegu also wants to go out and find a safe cook."

"Hee hee! Miss is the best!" The two girls clapped excitedly, worked harder, and even hummed a little song.

Li Ren looked at his sister's helpless but rather enjoying attitude with a smile. He liked the atmosphere of the Anran Pavilion very much. The elder sister rejected the servants arranged by Li Yuan and only added two sprinklers in the courtyard. Although the two little girls in the house She is still learning the etiquette rules, and she has bumps and bumps, but she is innocent, lively and cheerful, without the slightest sense of panic like the servants in the house who work hard for fear of offending their master.

Tan Jiang Wharf
A gray-clothed woman with a cloth scarf on her head, carefully carrying a small bamboo basket, shrugged her shoulders and walked into the messy alley. She stopped in front of a low house, pushed open the old mottled wooden door, and walked in.

There are several rooms in the house. The woman pushed open a small door and walked in after bending slightly. The room was narrow and cramped, filled with a smell of medicine. Covered with a dusty bedding.

"Why is it still hot?" The woman put her hand on her husband's forehead, sighed lowly, lifted the coarse cloth covering the bamboo basket, and brought out a bowl of porridge that was still steaming.

"Let's have something to eat first, I'll go to the city to get the secondary medicine later."

The sick and emaciated man resisted the pain in his knees, half sat up, took a sip from the bowl, and handed it back to the woman.

"What kind of family are we? How can we afford the money for medical treatment? No need, just stay up for a few nights and you'll be fine. Lady, you should eat some too."

The woman was taken aback, and smiled, "I've eaten, you are sick, eat more."

The man looked at his wife who had lost a lot of weight these days, and sighed, "I am useless, causing you to suffer, and my little Alan, who is a slave to others, I am useless as a father..."

The woman was Mrs. Liu, and she solemnly said to her husband, "I told you, that young lady is a real Bodhisattva with the best heart. If she hadn't taken her in, my daughter and I would have died in the capital. Alan followed her. won't suffer."

"I haven't seen Alan for many years..." Liang Shan doubted his wife's words. He had been in this bustling capital for many years.

"When you recover from illness, let's go to the city to see our daughter and have dinner." Hearing her husband cough again, Mrs. Liu was worried about the money on her body, wondering if it would be enough to buy a pair of medicines.

Just after lunch, the two maids circled around Li Ru'an, they were extremely attentive, and they discussed what snacks to buy later, Xue Gu looked funny.

"These two gluttonous girls!"

Walking out of the gate, Li Ru'an took a deep breath through the hat, staying in the house every day, without a mobile phone or a computer, it was quite boring, and it would be troublesome to go out, if it wasn't for Li Ren's company, Fan might not agree.

Li Ren led two servants, and the group walked leisurely towards the main street.

The sun was in the sky, adding a bit of warmth, and more pedestrians began to enter the bustling area. After a while, Alan Ziyan had several snacks in his hands, and the two servants behind him were holding several boxes of cloth bags in their hands.

Li Ren secretly smacked the speed at which these people bought things. One chose, one paid, and two ate.

Passing by a pharmacy, the decoration is simple and elegant, and there is a smell of medicine outside the door. Li Ru'an stopped and stepped in.

The hall was deserted, two boys in gray clothes were wiping the desk, an old man with gray hair was sitting behind the desk, behind him was a medicine cabinet with a whole row of grid drawers.

Seeing Li Ru'an and his party coming in, the old man didn't make a sound, just glanced at the end of his eyes, with a haughty look on his face, the clerk came over and asked, "What medicine do you want to buy?"

"Are there any pills for sale?" Under the hat, Li Ru'an asked while looking at the names on the medicine cabinet.

"Yes, yes, the pills in our pharmacy are all made by old doctors. We are the only one here. What kind of pills do you want, miss?" The waiter's attitude was obviously much more respectful, and the old man looked over seriously, holding his gray beard, with a complacent expression.

"Well, it's wind and cold, fever, trauma." Li Ru'an casually mentioned a few common illnesses.

"Hey, Miss, wait a minute." The clerk bent down overjoyed, walked into the inner room, and after a while came out with a box, carefully placed it on the desk.

"This is the doctor from our pharmacy, and he made the pills. Please let him introduce the uses for you."

The wooden box was opened, and there were three exquisite small porcelain bottles on it, which were pasted with paper, which said Quhan Pill, Xiaore Pill, and Hemostatic Pill.

"This is designed to treat wind, cold and yin evils entering the body." Seeing Li Ru'an reached out to pick up the medicine bottle and poured out a pill for a closer look, and put it into the hat to smell it carefully, the old man sneered.

"This is designed to treat persistent fever, dry throat and sore throat, and this bottle is for hemostasis, as long as it is traumatic, it can be used. Miss, Quhan Dan and Xiaore Pill are one or two yuan, and bleeding pills are one or two. Money, how much do you want?"

Li Ru'an raised his eyebrows. The pills can be sold individually. It was an eye-opener. He turned the rough black ball as big as a fingernail in his hand and shook his head slightly. There were a few simple herbs in it. They became meatballs, but they were sold so expensively that one of them was worth two months' wages for the servants in the mansion. Seeing that Li Ren and the others had no different expressions, Li Ru'an understood why after knowing that she knew how to make medicine, all the servants in the mansion attitudes are different.

"Miss, do you want to buy it? These pills are precious, and human hands will be warm, which will damage the pills." Seeing Li Ru'an's delay in speaking, the old man frowned and said.

"How do you talk, old man? Is it possible that my lady will be short of some money from you? Can't you let people see what you sell?" Xue Gu couldn't bear the anger, slapped the desk hard, and shouted angrily.

The bullying old man shrank his shoulders, murmured that only women and villains are hard to raise, and raised his head arrogantly, with impatience on his face.

"Ephedra, cinnamon sticks, perilla leaves, bellflower, licorice, and Bupleurum."

The old man's eyes widened, and he looked at the woman with the hat covering her face in surprise. From the voice, she must be a boudoir girl. How could she tell all the ingredients of the pill just by smelling it? Could it be that another pharmacy sent her to test it out? ?
"Although it is barely usable, there is one thing. When making this medicine, the heat is not enough, and the medicinal properties are not enough." Li Ru'an put down the balls, rubbed the ink on his fingertips, shook his head and said regretfully.

"Nurse, just buy the one I touched."

"Here you are!" Xuegu patted a tael of silver on the desk, turned around and left. Zi Yan snatched the pill with one hand and snorted before leaving. You have never seen it before!
The old man was astonished as he watched several people go out. It was true that he hadn't mastered the cooking time of this batch of medicine, but how did the lady know?
"Mom!" As soon as he stepped out of the door of the pharmacy, Alan suddenly yelled and rushed towards a woman in gray.

"Alan!" The woman suddenly caught her daughter and hugged her tightly in her arms, her face full of surprise, "Why are you here?"

"I came out with Miss." Following the direction of her daughter's finger, Liu happily walked up to Li Ru'an, bowed her knees and saluted, "Hi Miss, Xuegu, Ziyan."

"Sister-in-law Liu, why are you so thin?" Xue Gu stepped forward to hold her, seeing her pale face and thin clothes, she whispered.

Pedestrians came and went a lot, Li Ru'an glanced at the teahouse opposite, "Go over there and sit down and talk."
