A capital city without an emperor always feels like something is missing.

As soon as it entered the second month of the lunar calendar and the chill had dissipated, Kangxi took everyone in the royal family, large and small, who could move, on the road to Mount Wutai to worship Buddha.At the moment, the prince is taking care of everything in the Forbidden City.

On this day, although it did not rain, the weather was not very sunny.

A carriage with the three characters "Ruixiangfang" clearly written on the approach lantern slowly drove into the city gate building.

The guards in charge of the guards quickly cheered up, chased away the last sleepiness before dawn, and moved the roadblocks to let them pass.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight children in ragged clothes, with yellow faces and skinny muscles, swarmed forward.

"Female Bodhisattva, please do well and reward me with a bite of food. There is no food in my hometown. I escaped and have been hungry for three or four days."

Even begging was too weak. It seemed that he was really hungry.

The people in the car handed over three or four small bundles, which were stuffed full of food.

It not only contains white flour steamed buns, rice cakes, but also beef jerky, peanuts and other snacks.

The children ignored the cheers and thanked them, and couldn't wait to tear off the furoshiki. After fighting for it, they stuffed it into their mouths desperately.

After an old sigh floated out of the carriage, the coachman urged the horse to leave and go straight to Haifeng's Princess Kejing's mansion.

There is only a little ending left in the night.

The sky is glowing with a faint rose red.

The sun is rising.

The three accessible doors of the Princess Mansion were guarded by thoughtful people three or four days ago.Seeing that the carriage was about to enter the house, several people took advantage of the slowdown and stepped forward to grab the horse's bridle and grab the driver's whip.

"Don't be angry, old lady. We can't find you anywhere. After getting off the car, let's go back to Zhangjiakou!"

Seeing this posture, the coachman didn't panic at all and shouted loudly toward the door.

"You still haven't come out? You're really going to be dragged away, but I don't care!"

Then, there was a heavy muffled sound of the door latch hitting the ground, and two guards from the princess's palace walked out of the door with knives in their hands.

"Is this what the Lifanyuan is capable of? Robbing people on the street? Even if the emperor is not in the capital, Wang Fa didn't follow him to Mount Wutai, right?"

"Oh, gentlemen, please stop making sarcastic remarks. Your Highness the Princess doesn't see any visitors at all. Even if we beg for mercy, we can't find a way out!"

"That's not right. How can I remember that all the people who come here are the young doctor, the minister, and the minister, and they have never come to the door."

The carriage driver took advantage of the conversation between the two sides and helped the passenger out of the carriage. It turned out to be an eighty-year-old woman wearing Mongolian clothing.

She only knew Mongolian and had no idea what was going on here. She thought she was also begging for food and asked the coachman to pay some reward in advance.

"All my money was given to those children just now."

The coachman spoke fluent Mongolian, wanted to have fun but did not dare to, and kept urging the old lady to go inside.

"They are almost the same as beggars. However, they don't ask for wealth, they ask for a head on their shoulders so that it won't fall off."

With the guards protecting him, those sent by the Lifan Yuan to keep an eye on him were of course useless, so they all simply dispersed and went to report to their respective masters.

After handing over the old lady to the inner courtyard, the guards and the carriage driver went to catch up on their sleep in the duty room.

Dongsheng and Qing'er, cousins, have gradually improved their business abilities. They are no longer cautious and have no standards in their behavior before.After welcoming the old lady into Haifeng's room, he took the time to go back to his room and take a nap to avoid getting sleepy while doing things in the afternoon.

"Sister, tell me, it's time for those gentlemen from the Lifan Court to come and admit their mistake to the master this time, right?"

Qing'er was more thoughtful than Dongsheng and didn't dare to take off all his clothes. He lit another incense stick and counted the time before he dared to lie down and rest.

"I heard from my aunts that it should be the same. I don't know how they have long brains, they can only see a little bit of money. The old lady is a serious nobleman from the Tushetu Khan tribe. Even if there is no trace of the family property left because of the war, that is The emperor personally issued a decree to settle the master in Zhangjiakou. We, the princess, are respected as elders. They dare not give the old lady medical treatment and medicine, and let her fend for herself. "

"That's right. The grandson of the old lady is still walking around the study to study. He can see the emperor from time to time. They are really brave."

Xu got up in the middle of the night to work on errands. After a whole morning, they were tired and sleepy, so the two sisters fell asleep without saying a few words.Qing'er woke up before the time to get up, and by chance, she met Shu Tai. He went back to the house to get his things, quickly put on his clothes and welcomed him out.

"Why didn't you call us aunt?"

Shutai took a peek and saw that Dongsheng was still asleep inside. He waved his hand and asked Qing'er to go out and talk.

The two of them walked to the corridor together before speaking loudly.

"Shengshou, you sisters got up early to work. In fact, it doesn't matter if you sleep a little longer. The old lady will go to the village to settle down later. She doesn't like living in the princess's mansion, and she seems to be stubborn. After the princess feels her pulse, she will open it. After getting the prescription, Zhang Shun went to Tong Ren Tang to grab the medicine outside. The master also asked us to collect the Shengmai Powder, pick it up and give her three packages. Since you are awake, let's go to the warehouse together, so that we can gain more knowledge. "

"Hey, thank you aunt for the compliment."

"Hold the keys and ledger for me."

Qing'er took the things in his hands respectfully and followed the master, listening to the teachings as he walked and asking two questions from time to time.

"Auntie, why don't you catch Shengmai San from Tongrentang?"

"Because the master doesn't like to embarrass Dr. Le. This Shengmai Powder is very easy to remember. It contains only three herbs: ginseng, Ophiopogon japonicus, and Schisandra chinensis. When you need to use it, mix it with rice soup or even boiling water. To put it bluntly, it will make you last breath." Used. Ophiopogon japonicus and Schisandra chinensis are easy to get, but ginseng is hard to find. If you are really at the critical moment of life and death, no matter how much money you spend, you won’t be able to find one that can be used as medicine. Every family and government should keep it as a treasure at the bottom of the box. "

"Then such a rare thing, just give it to that old lady for free?"

"I told you to tell me. The master gets good ginseng from the emperor every year, but every year he can't keep it, so he gives it to small families who are waiting for urgent needs. How many times have I persuaded Axiang, and at least I can't keep it anymore." Keep two for emergencies. It’s good that the master answers every time, and when something happens, he goes out again. Let’s just stop talking and save our energy.”

Qing'er thought about these words over and over, and suddenly figured it out.

"Auntie, that means, this old lady."

"As she gets older, medicine is not of much use. Those bastards in the Lifanyuan, I guess, just want to use up her life until she runs out of gas. Ginseng is so expensive, but they don't pay for it. The master is worried that her grandson and the emperor will I'm going to Mount Wutai. If the mountains are high and the water is low, I'll use this medicine to hang on to my life and call my grandson back so I can see him one last time."

The two of them just talked and arrived at the warehouse early.

The old mother who was in charge of guarding heard the young girls outside asking and answering questions, so she left what she was eating and came out early.When I saw it was Shutai, I immediately smiled and welcomed him warmly.

"Why did the girl come in person?"

"I want to get the Shengmai Powder."

"No wonder. Please bring the account book, girl."

Shutai took the account book from Qing'er and gave her instructions softly.

"These precious medicinal materials only have keys in the warehouse, and there are no account books. I would never dare to open them by myself. Every three months, Axiang or I will come over to take stock. At the end of each year, the master will personally take a look. It's like ginseng, even if there is one less strand. Son, look at the warehouse mother, she has to pay the compensation out of her own pocket."

After both sides settled the matter, the old mother invited two respectable girls into the house and took out the key to the ginseng lock from her fleshy pocket.Shutai took it and opened the box with his own hands to take the medicine.

"Qing'er, look, the master saw these ginseng early in the morning, sealed them in a box, and put a red paper label on them according to their appearance."

Shutai chose three boxes with "Up" written on them, then closed and locked the boxes.

As for the other two common medicinal materials, there is no need to make such a fuss and trouble.The old mother went to catch her, so Shutai sat down and waited for her to come back.

Qing'er has never been to the warehouse where medicinal materials are stored, and is curious about everything.As I walked around, I suddenly saw a huge wine vat.She felt that she was extremely surprised that she could hold two of herself.

"Auntie, why is there still wine here? Isn't it a warehouse for collecting medicinal materials?"

"Hey, it would take a long time to explain this in detail. Wait until I get over and tell you slowly."

Shutai stood up with great interest and pulled out the plug blocking the mouth of the cylinder.

When she was about to teach her disciple some skills, she looked into the tank and her expression suddenly changed.

"Okay, you are unlucky today because you fell into my hands!"

Please follow your doctor's advice when taking medication, and do not bring the plot of the novel into real life (a very serious armor full of desire to survive.)
The information I saw said that Shengmai Powder appeared many times in the medical records of the Qing Dynasty and was basically used for first aid.Its efficacy has been studied in modern times, and the research results are that the three medicinal materials can indeed enhance heart function.If ginseng is used alone, the effect is not obvious.Any errors are welcome to be corrected.
