I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 190 Cats can’t write poetry!

Youli looked at Maomao, smiled and said: "You are so arrogant, look at what you said, you said that the empress is not good here, what is not good about her, but you also said that the empress is very good to the people around her. Care. This is not about having a good relationship, it’s about spoiling someone."

Maomao frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said with a serious expression: "No, you still misunderstood."

Youli sighed helplessly: "You're a little girl, you're good at everything, but you're too sharp-tongued, but you look pretty good like this."

Snapped!
Just when Youli said this, the storyteller clapped his hands and continued with an exaggerated expression: "Guess what."

Everyone listening to the book immediately looked at the storyteller expectantly.

Among them is Youli.

Maomao watched Youli excitedly listen to the exaggerated story again, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

but
Looking at the tea leaves in the tea cup, one of them is standing upright.

Maomao couldn't help but think of sitting and drinking tea with Su Changan before. Su Changan told Maomao that if there are tea leaves standing up, it means something good is going to happen.

Although some good things happened that day, for example, she was suddenly promoted to a full sixth-grade medical officer. It could be said that she suddenly jumped several levels.

but.
Maomao looked at the standing tea leaves, and recalled the expression on Su Changan's face when she said, "Did something good happen, right?" just after receiving the imperial edict.

Thinking of this, Maomao sighed.

Although he is a very good master, and he secretly regards him as a friend.

But sometimes.
Just very annoying! !

Youli glanced at Maomao who was thinking about something thoughtfully and said, "Where should we go next?"

Maomao was stunned for a moment, then adjusted his thoughts and said, "Don't you want to listen?"

Youli nodded: "It's not interesting if I'm the only one who listens. Besides, the people around you are here. If I have anything to do with you, I can just ask you directly."

Maomao thought for a while and then said: "Then let's go to the medicine shop first. I know that a medicine shop has recently purchased a lot of good medicines. Maybe we can find some that we like."

Hearing the medicinal materials, Youli stood up immediately: "That's great. Let's leave quickly."

After that, he took Maomao and left.

The herbal medicine shop Maomao mentioned is over there at Libenfang. It is one of the largest medicinal herb shops in Luo'an City.

And she specially put her rest day to today, in fact, it was also to take Youli there.

of course
Although now, as a female officer, she can go to the palace's inner treasury to select medicinal materials, and with Su Changan's name, Maomao can take as much as she wants.

but.
The restrictions are actually quite large, because some of the highly toxic medicinal materials they want, first of all the poisonous weeds, are not available in the inner treasury. Even if there are some, they must be taken away with Sun Shanggong's permission.

This makes the cat very depressed sometimes.

So when I came out today, I first took Youli, who was about to leave the capital, to take a look there, and secondly, I thought I could try my luck.

The place where Maomao and the others are now is Wubenfang, because during these days, Youli and his group have been staying in the inn here in Wubenfang.

Although it was related to the assassin of Wu Zhaodi, it was only related after all, and Wu Zhaodi had surrendered to the empress and joined the Shence Mansion, so it was naturally impossible to embarrass these people.

So they were left to wait in the capital for the miracle doctor Zhang Wenjing.

Walking on the street, Maomao and Youli are in sharp contrast.

Even though she has been in the capital for a while now, Youli is still curious about everything.

Look here and there.

Maomao, on the other hand, seemed much calmer and didn't care about anything around him, just watching Youli running around.

Suddenly seeing Youli being very lively and laughing with a boss selling cakes, Maomao sighed. He was so lively, and he never imagined that he had been scared to tears before.

Should I say that I am young?
Speaking of which, how old is Youli? He seems to be sixteen like me.Sixteen, really?
Thinking of this, Maomao frowned and looked at Youli, who was very lively and made the stall owner laugh.

but suddenly
Maomao was startled when she saw that Youli's body seemed to be emitting a youthful light.

Then he looked down at himself.

Then, he reached out and pinched his eyebrows.

No, people like me are normal 16-year-old girls, that guy is just a little girl who hasn't grown up.

While thinking this, Youli had returned to Maomao: "Here."

But seeing Maomao rubbing his eyebrows, Youli asked curiously: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Maomao looked at the cake Youli bought for her, took it and said, "No, it's nothing."

But after finishing speaking, Maomao looked at Youli with a solemn face and asked, "Are you 16 years old?"

Youli was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, and a very beautiful red butterfly tattoo was placed on the inner side of Youli's forearm: "This is a mark that only 16-year-old female dolls in our village will get tattooed on. It also means that I am already a medicine man who can act independently, but I am not a voodoo student, which is a pity, otherwise I could leave my voodoo for you, Maomao, the kind that can save your life."

Maomao took a bite of the cake and felt that it was a bit too sweet and not as delicious as the Queen's. Then he looked at Youli and said, "Even if you have it, don't leave it for me. I will most likely kill you for studying poisons." ”

But after saying that, Maomao looked at Youli and asked, "But you can steal your senior brother's centipede to me. I'm curious about how poisonous a centipede that grew up eating poisonous weeds is."

Youli laughed when he heard this: "If I really stole it for you, my senior brother would go crazy. But Maomao, you like poisonous weeds and insects so much. If you are in our village, you can represent the village to participate in our Raojiang competition and win." If you are lucky, you can become a candidate for a saint. If you are lucky, you can enter the Twelve Cave and learn all the medical and voodoo techniques in Raojiang."

Maomao heard this and turned to look at Youli with a serious look on his face: "I do!"

Youli smiled and shook his head: "It's definitely not possible now."

After saying that, Youli thought for a while and then said: "But you can wait for me. When I go back and pass the test in the village, I can come out on my own. At that time, I can teach you the medical skills of our village. Now, I don’t have that qualification yet.”

Maomao looked at Youli with a disappointed look on his face, because Youli didn't look like he could pass that test.

Youli didn't see what Maomao was thinking, but he said with confidence: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back to the capital and teach you when the time comes. After all, Maomao, you are my savior. My father and mother have taught me since I was a child. Repay kindness with kindness."

Maomao looked at Youli and said, "I'm not your savior. Commander Yan was just scaring you that day to see if you had anything else to do."

Youli shook his head, then frowned and said: "Commander Yan is so scary. When I came in that day, I was so scared that my legs were weak. My uncle and the senior brothers were all so scared that they knelt down. Thanks to the cat Cat, otherwise I would have been frightened to death if Commander Yan took me out alone for questioning that day."

Having said this, Youli put a smile on her face again and looked down at Maomao, who was slightly shorter than her: "So, you are my savior."

Maomao was too lazy to explain any more. He just thought of Yan Yunxiao, and his expression became much more solemn and he said, "Well, that old woman is very scary."

Youli is a pharmacist and a martial arts practitioner, so he said: "I heard from my uncle that Commander Yan is very, very amazing. He once came to Raojiang alone and provoked more than 20 people from our villages, including The people who entered the Black Witch Village were chased by thousands of people. In the end, even the people in Twelve Cave were alarmed. However, Commander Yan was not hurt at all. He killed all the people in the Black Witch Village and left safely. How amazing.”

"However, my uncle said that the reason why Commander Yan came to Raojiang was to look for medicinal wine, but he searched in a wide circle and offended many people, so he pursued him."

Hearing this, Maomao was stunned for a moment, and then seriously thought of Yan Yunxiao's domineering appearance, so he nodded seriously: "Well, it's that old woman who would do such a thing."

Youli continued: "Speaking of which, your Majesty is so amazing. She entered the sixth level all of a sudden. I am still only a third level, and my uncle is only a seventh level."

When Maomao heard this, her hair seemed to have turned into cat ears, and her eyes immediately turned into vertical pupils. She looked at Youli and said, "No, if she drank my medicinal wine, she might have reached the eighth level!"

Maomao was very upset about Su Changan's determination not to drink the medicinal wine he brewed!

Youli smiled, but before he was about to say anything, he saw a large group of people gathered in front of the shop in front of him.

Youli was confused for a moment: "What are you doing there?"

Then, he took Maomao and ran towards the crowd: "Let's go take a look too."

Maomao doesn't care about this, it's just that
Maomao realized that this was the drug store he wanted to come to.

Could it be that because the news about the new medicinal materials was known today, they all came to grab it?

Thinking of this, Maomao pulled Youli and quickly ran towards the medicine shop, and suddenly squeezed into the front of the crowd.

just
Looking in front of the medicine shop, Maomao was stunned.

Youli on the side also looked at the scene in front of him curiously.

Because right in front of the medicine shop, there is a table with pen, ink, paper and inkstones on it.

And right in front of the shop, there are several brocade boxes.

And there was a big sign that read.

'Today, those who write poems using medicinal materials, if their poems are excellent, can obtain the treasure of the shop in the brocade box. '

Seeing this, Maomao looked at the man who looked like the store owner standing at the door with confusion.At this time, someone in the crowd asked: "Boss, you are wrong. How do you judge whether a poem is good or not?"

The owner of the medicine shop smiled and said: "Is it good or not? Do you need to comment? You make it and then recite it to see if it is a good work. You are here."

Hearing this, the crowd roared again.

"Let's see what the best medicinal materials are, boss. You put them in a brocade box. What do we think of them?"

"That's right, let's take a look."

"Boss, just show me all the prizes you mentioned."

……

The crowd was buzzing.

The owner of the medicine shop was also unambiguous. He turned around and opened one of the carefully placed brocade boxes, and saw a white lotus flower appearing in his field of vision.

"Tianshan snow lotus!"

There were also people in the crowd who knew the goods, and they recognized them immediately.

The owner of the medicine shop immediately said with a smile: "This is the best prize, Tianshan Snow Lotus! As for its efficacy, I don't need to say more, but if it is sold alone, it is impossible to sell it without 3000 taels of silver. of."

As soon as this is said.
Especially when the value of 3000 taels appeared, the crowd immediately became noisy again.

3000 taels is not a small amount!

Even Youli stared at Tianshan Snow Lotus with wide eyes, and whispered: "Are you crazy? Such good medicinal materials are exchanged for poetry. Why do you people in the capital like poetry?"

Maomao shook his head, a little confused.

However, the aunt next to her listened to Youli's words with interest. She was still a little girl, so she smiled and said, "Little girl, you don't know, this is where I'm learning the rouge shop."

Youli was stunned for a moment. She remembered that [Dian Jiang Lip] was the Queen's shop.

Maomao also looked at the aunt.

And the aunt looked at how cute Maomao and Youli were, and she smiled and explained: "[Red Lips], it was opened by Su Liheng, the fourth young master of the Su family, but with the help of our empress, not only is her name the empress, The empress gave it to her, and she also specially gave it to support her brother's business and wrote two poems. These two poems brought a lot of business to Rouge Shop at once, and because of the storybook "Red Mansion", Rouge Shop has produced a lot of [Red Mansion]-related rouge packages, and the business is so popular."

"So many shops in the capital have started to learn this. For example, in restaurants, they ask scholars to write poems about eating, and then spread the word, and some people come here to eat. There are also silk shops and pastry shops. Everyone in the teahouse imitates the same thing, so this herbal medicine shop owner also came up with this."

"However, this person usually digs and searches, but today he was very generous. He was able to bring out the Tianshan Snow Lotus that he always just showed off and never wanted to sell."

After hearing the explanation, Maomao and Youli understood why the medicine store owner behaved like this.

But at this time, another person intervened and said: "You can take it out. You are not crazy about money. The pastries in Li Datou's shop in Fangshi next door asked someone to make a poem, and they sold like crazy. Now everyone is rushing Doing it."

Another person said with a smile: "They are for food. Why is this medicine shop just joining in the fun? You can't eat it right away."

The owner of the medicine shop narrowed his eyes slightly and heard what the person here said, so he immediately said: "Listen to me, you don't need these medicinal materials. After you get them, I will recycle them. That is, if you are talented in literature, take them If you want this Tianshan Snow Lotus, I can take the 3000 taels on the spot. But, here I am, that poem will naturally belong to me, Mr. Liu."

As soon as these words came out, many people immediately looked surprised.

Even the person who just spoke said "Yo" immediately.

This is a big deal.

Youli was also shocked.

but
Although Youli's eyes were full of pity like everyone else's, he also knew that he was only literate and had no literary talent, so his eyes were full of pity.

But Youli suddenly thought of something, looked down at Maomao and whispered: "Maomao, what are you doing, do you want to go up and try it?"

When Maomao heard this, he was startled, then raised the corners of his mouth and said, "I don't look down on that Tianshan Snow Lotus."

This is actually true, because in Su Mansion, Maomao has seen two Tianshan Snow Lotuses that are much better than the medicine store owner.

And
In the inner treasury of the palace, there is a shelf of more than 20 Tianshan snow lotuses.

So Maomao really doesn't like it, because if she wants, she can just take the better one in the palace.

just
The reason why she answered like this was because the last time she met Youli, Youli kept talking about Su Changan's literary talents, so she casually boasted that she was also very good, no less than Su Changan, and she even helped. Wrote [Red Mansion].

Although Youli has never read "Red Mansions" and doesn't like it very much, but so many people praised it, she felt that it must be a particularly powerful book. Therefore, after Maomao said this, she was convinced and admired Maomao with all her eyes. .

But in fact, Maomao didn't completely deceive Youli, because Maomao did help write it, Su Changan wrote it, and she polished the ink.

Youli looked at Maomao, thought for a moment, and felt that it was the same. Maomao, with such a great literary talent, would definitely not stand out for such a Tianshan Snow Lotus.

The shop owner, seeing many people in the crowd eager to try, turned around and opened the second brocade box.

A ginseng as big as a stick appeared in the brocade box. Everyone gasped when they saw that the box was covered with just beards.

The owner of the medicine shop looked at everyone and said with a smile: "I don't need to explain this thing. This ginseng king is incredible. Even if it has one foot in the gate of hell and a few whiskers in its mouth, it will I can also rescue you immediately."

Youli laughed when she heard it. How could it have such powerful effects? However, such a large ginseng, she had indeed seen it once from the village elder, was more powerful than the Tianshan Snow Lotus.

Looking at the ginseng, Youli lowered his head and looked at Maomao.

Maomao glanced at Youli and shook his head: "Too young."

Although Youli was a little disappointed, she nodded. If someone else said it, she felt that that person must be bragging, but she absolutely believed what Maomao said.

but
Youli was disappointed because Youli wanted to watch Maomao write poetry before leaving. Even if he couldn't understand it, he still wanted to take it back and show off to the people in the village.

The aunt who just looked at Maomao and Youli smiled and said, "Little girl, that ginseng root was bought by a rich man for 5000 taels. Is it too small?"

Maomao nodded seriously: "Yeah, just average."

The aunt looked at this serious little girl who was like a little black cat, smiled and said nothing.

On the other hand, Maomao frowned and looked at the owner of the medicine shop, and stepped forward and asked: "Boss, can I come into the store to have a look at the new medicines that arrived today?"

The boss who just put down the ginseng and picked up the third brocade box was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Girl, I'm busy with this now. If you want to see new medicinal materials, you can come over in the afternoon."

Hearing this, Maomao frowned. She had a simple idea, that is, go in and take a look at the medicinal materials now, because it is a waste of time to look at these displays here.

When he heard the store owner say that it was afternoon, Maomao was naturally a little unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it. The pharmacy belonged to him, so what could he do if he didn't sell it, so he turned around and planned to drag Youli around to other pharmacies.

However, the owner of the medicine shop didn't say much, and just planned to continue to display the third brocade box.

Arriving next to Youli, Maomao said, "Let's go."

Youli looked at the brocade box in the medicine shop owner's hand: "Aren't you going to finish reading it?"

Maomao nodded: "It won't be a good thing anyway, so let's go to other medicine stores to check it out."

Youli said "Oh".

The owner of the medicine shop also opened the third brocade box and said: "This medicinal material is called [Jinbo Xunhua] and comes from Persia."

Maomao, who was about to leave, suddenly became startled when he heard the name, and immediately turned to look at the golden flowers in the brocade box in the hand of the medicine shop owner.

Moreover, Maomao's eyes were shining with a look of wanting.

Youli on the side felt as if he saw a pair of ears on a cat's head, and the ears were constantly waving.

So I curiously looked at the [Jinbo Shunhua] in the hand of the medicine shop owner, and asked in a low voice: "That one is Sazi, I have never heard of it."

Maomao immediately explained: "Poisonous flowers come from Persia. Bo Xun is Sanskrit, and it is a Sanskrit word from Persia that means something like monsters."

Youli suddenly realized, thinking that no wonder she hadn't heard of it. It turned out to be a poisonous weed from Fanbang.

But after thinking about it for a moment, he continued to ask: "Is it great?"

Maomao nodded: "Very impressive."

Youli looked at Jinbo Shunhua more curiously.

Because her medical skills are all about fighting poison with poison, she is also quite curious about poisonous weeds.

but.
But Maomao looked solemn because she couldn't write poetry!

And even if you want to buy it, it’s 4000 taels
Not enough money!
……

Ps: There are some typos in what Youli said. They are based on the dialect and are not wrong.
