Chapter 253 The Plague

The spring light was just right, and Yuyao was leaning on the roll-top couch, with a diamond-shaped window above his head. The thin light shone in from the outside and fell on his body, giving him a warm feeling even when he fell asleep.

She had bizarre dreams in the twilight, until she felt a hazy figure approaching her.

Slowly opening her eyes, it was Ti Zhen who came over with a cup of lily and lotus seed soup and was sitting upright in front of her bed.

Yuyao woke up suddenly with a start, his heart was so frightened that he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.She sat up and clutched her clothes with her fingers, shivering all over her body, a guilty expression written all over her face.

Ti Zhen smiled faintly and stared into her seemingly lifeless eyes, "What's wrong? I told you last time, but you're still angry now? Now you don't even want to call me sister?"

She choked, "Big sister."

Ti Zhen pinched her face and smiled: "That's right. There's no such thing as an overnight feud between sisters."

So he held a cup of bird's nest and stirred it gently: "This is the lily and lotus seed soup I specially asked someone to make for you. It is the best for beauty."

I have something on my mind, and I have also reduced my diet a lot, and I have no appetite.Yu Yao just took it and thought about the silver spoon in his hand for a long time before he dared to raise his head and look directly into Ti Zhen's eyes.

He pursed his lips and said hesitantly: "My uncle called me that day and said a lot. Since he must be careful when choosing people, then...doesn't it mean that someone with literary talent and merit is good?"

Ti Zhen smiled and said: "This is natural. Morality and character are the most important."

He took her hand again and said earnestly, "So gold will always shine, and yellow sand cannot cover up the light of pearls. If Jiang Wencai is truly both talented and virtuous, it will be revealed after spring next year, don't you think?"

Yuyao was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard the end, he slowly smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Since sister said so, now I also know it."

Ti Zhen's eyes relaxed for a moment, as if the heavy clouds and fog had been pushed away, and there was a clear sky with clear clouds and clear wind. He smiled and said: "It's good if you think so. In fact, as long as a person has merit, it is not too early or too late to be reused. thing."

Yuyao nodded with steady eyes, but his voice was a little erratic, "Sister is absolutely right."

Ti Zhen's lips moved and finally said nothing more.He just smiled as if he was pleased, comforted her a few more words, and then used Shi Fang to say goodbye because he had something to do.

The soft and thick carpet felt soft and silent under her feet, the wind blew past her ears, and the emerald tassels on her head rustled in the wind, just like her mood at this time.

Wenxiu followed him all the way for a long time. It wasn't until he walked down the corridor and turned a corner that he expressed the doubts in his heart, "Second girl had a huge quarrel with you over someone named Jiang. Why now we just get whatever we say."

She rolled her eyes hesitantly, "Do you think... can a person's character really change so quickly?"

Ti Zhen closed her eyes and took a long breath, "I know all her thoughts, but I suddenly remembered His Highness's reminder... You said that instead of letting Yuyao continue to pity him, it is better to retreat in order to make her completely Disgustingly good.”

She held her hands, looked at the stormy clouds in the sky, and frowned, "I don't believe in someone who is determined to climb up. What merits and achievements can he make?"

The plague situation outside is still unabated, and the haze is like a gloomy death smell that gathers in the nose, making it disgusting and unpleasant.

The light really broke through the clouds and shone on the earth a few days later, when a prescription for treating the plague appeared in Jiang's Tavern for the first time.

According to Jiang Wencai, it was preserved by his father's generation from the plague a few years ago, and it was the most effective treatment for the plague.

At first, people didn't believe it, but later, he personally gave the prescription to the imperial doctor in the disaster relief area for verification. After several tests, some seriously ill patients had improved somewhat, and the people's hearts were suddenly relieved.

For a time, the prescription for treating the plague spread throughout every disaster relief area, and even the imperial doctor said: "Young Master Jiang is generous with his wealth. When the epidemic situation improves, I will definitely express my gratitude to Your Majesty and reward you generously." And Jiang Wencai said. The horizontal knife was inserted, but Wen Yu and Gu Chang, who were trying their best to comfort the disaster, were silent for a long time. Even Wu Binsheng, who had always had excellent medical skills, was dumbfounded.

How a wine seller and merchant suddenly had the ability to treat the plague and became so good at it is naturally a source of speculation.

After Su Zhe heard the news, he went to the house to greet Ti Zhen and saw that she was giving instructions on Zhaoxu's homework. He quickly bowed and gave Wenxiu a wink.

Sure enough, not long after, Ti Zhen helped Wenxiu come out of the study.

Su Zhe smiled and said, "It was inconvenient to speak just now, so I'd like to thank you for your help."

Ti Zhen is sitting on an armchair in the corridor, his lazy posture is reminiscent of the lotus blooming in the blue wave pool in summer.

She pursed her lips and asked, "Did something happen outside?"

Su Zhe slowly stopped smiling and answered truthfully: "It's a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that the plague has been cured now, and the bad thing is that the prescription for treating the plague was provided by Jiang Wencai."

He unconsciously lowered his head and asked: "Girl, do you believe that a wine seller can grow melons without land overnight? I'm afraid it will inevitably make people confused, unless...unless the prescription is not his."

Listening to his words, Ti Zhen's complexion was still very good and moist, as if he was not surprised at all by the news.

He just hummed lightly, "Really?"

Su Zhe was furious, and his tone was harsh, "If I say that most of the prescriptions for treating the plague are from Mr. Wu's handiwork, will you believe me?"

Ti Zhen nodded quickly: "I believe it."

She flicked the jade bracelet with her finger and said, "I asked Wu Binsheng to develop this prescription based on the information provided by brother-in-law Gu. How could I not believe it?"

Su Zhe glanced at her blankly, and said in a voice like a cold wind blowing against the ground: "Even so, how come the girl thinks that the prescription got into Jiang Wencai's hands for no reason?"

Ti Zhen leaned on the fragrant flower-patterned soft pillow behind his back and muttered: "Of course someone stole it."

Su Zhe flashed a flash of hesitation, but was quickly calmed down by Ti Zhen, "I know all about this, but actually the prescription Jiang Wencai got is not completely correct, is it?"

His expression changed rapidly with her words, but he finally nodded obediently, "The teacher only wrote down most of it. Because he was not sure about the substitute medicinal materials for rhinoceros horn powder, he did not dare to use it randomly at the moment, so he kept it in the drawer of Shifu Pharmacy. inside."

He continued to explain: "Although Jiang Wencai's prescription was mostly correct, he secretly replaced the Rhizoma Imperata root that was intended to replace the rhinoceros horn powder with the cheaper Glauber's Salt and Rehmannia glutinosa, and also added a lot of fast-acting medicinal materials. Although The effect is doubled, but the medicinal properties are too harsh, especially for pregnant women, the elderly and the weak..."

As he spoke, his eyebrows furrowed tightly for a moment, "If you take it when you are weak, I'm afraid... something big will happen."

Ti Zhen groaned and suddenly raised his head to meet his slightly resentful eyes.

She smiled coldly, her eyes flickering, "He's eager for quick success, and even if something happens, it's his business. It's better to go back and let your teacher think about ways to alleviate his problem."

Then she gave him a wink and said, "I'm afraid his good days are coming to an end, but your teacher... has just begun."

Su Zhe suddenly understood, his mind became cold, and he could hardly hold back the sneer on his lips, so he bowed silently and left silently.
