After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 971 Detoxification
After Jin Jiashu got the antidote pill, he originally wanted to take it that night to avoid any further complications.

Unfortunately bad luck.

He wanted to suggest drinking some ginger and jujube tea to warm up his body, so that the taste of ginger and jujube tea could cover up the smell of the medicine. But the palace maid reported it too late, and the imperial physician heard about it after he was off duty. Based on the principle of less trouble is more trouble, he advised Jin Jiashu not to drink ginger and jujube tea to avoid conflicting with the medicine.

Jin Jiashu's plan to take the medicine that day failed. He wanted to do it secretly without telling the palace servants around him, but the palace servants were watching him closely. That night, Empress Dowager Xu sent her confidants to visit him and asked him about his diet and daily life in great detail. He wanted to drink less water under the eyes of so many palace servants, but someone advised him not to. How could he take the medicine? In desperation, he had to postpone his plan.

The effect of the medicine lasts for three days, so he still has time.

The next day, he again suggested drinking ginger and jujube tea. This time, he mentioned it when the imperial physician came to check his pulse. The imperial physician no longer thought he was nosy, but was afraid that if he agreed, it would contradict the reply he gave last night, which would make his superiors suspect that he was evading the issue. So he rejected the suggestion once again, saying that ginger and jujube tea would conflict with his tonic medicine, and prescribed another medicated diet to solve his problem of being afraid of cold.

The imperial physician made such a conclusion. Jin Jiashu could not drink ginger and jujube tea for three to five days. Empress Dowager Xu knew a lot about pharmacology. She knew that ginger and jujube tea was not taboo. But the imperial physician was so sure that she hesitated. It was a matter of life and death for the eldest son. It was not too careful. It was just ginger and jujube tea. What would happen if she didn't drink it?
She coaxed Jin Jiashu to give up drinking ginger and jujube tea, as if he was just being willful, and ordered people to add two more braziers to his room, and gave him a fur coat to stop him from complaining about the cold. In addition, Empress Dowager Xu also forbade him to leave the house again, saying that it was windy and cold outside, and he would get cold easily if he was exposed to the wind too much.

Therefore, Jin Jiashu not only failed to find a chance to take the medicine, but also lost the chance to meet Haijiao, which made him depressed. It was not easy for him to hide two small porcelain bottles under the eyes of the palace servants. During that period, he was very alert. Once a palace servant approached the place where he hid things, he was like a frightened bird. He slept poorly at night, which once created the illusion that his illness was recurring. Haijiao could not see him, and was shocked to hear that his health was worse than before. He thought that the detoxification pills were not only ineffective, but also damaged his body, and he was very worried.

Haitang was also a little confused after hearing the news. Logically, the system should not make mistakes. Although most of the system's functions are now unusable, the drug manufacturing process of Tianxin Haitang is clearly written in the instructions, and the effects are also very clear. How could it be that it is not effective? Could it be that Tianxin Haitang is not suitable for the poison that Jin Jiashu was poisoned with?

Haitang's worries were not dispelled until Jin Jiashu contacted Shanghai Jiao again. It turned out that Jin Jiashu had not taken the medicine yet!
After so many days, the effect of the medicine had disappeared. Jin Jiashu had no choice but to quietly stuff the blue and white porcelain bottle containing the medicine back to Haijiao. Haitang once again boiled the medicine at home and Haijiao delivered it to Jin Jiashu.

This time, she made a small adjustment to the formula of the medicine. It no longer smelled like ginger and jujube tea, but like ginseng. Jin Jiashu was drinking ginseng soup to replenish his energy, so it should be much easier for him to take the medicine.

The news Haijiao brought back did not disappoint her: "He took the medicine last night. He had a little diarrhea this morning, but it stopped before noon. When I saw him at noon today, he looked good. He also said that he felt a lot better. I think the detoxification pills are effective. Given his current condition, if his condition does not relapse, he will be able to ask Queen Mother Xu to resign in three to five days. It is only natural for him to return to his own home to celebrate the Laba Festival."

Haitang finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that, and said with a smile: "Then we will send someone to deliver Laba porridge to him when the time comes!" This year is the first year that the Hai family celebrates Laba in the capital, and the ingredients for Laba porridge must be carefully collected! I guarantee that the taste of the porridge will be praised by everyone who has eaten it! Haijiao was in a good mood as well: "I saw that Xiaojin was in good spirits, so I simply told him the information I had inquired about before. His several properties are actually quite good, and he can sort them out without too much effort. It shows that the nobles in the palace are still very concerned about him, and they have selected all the properties awarded to him."

Ever since Haijiao got the list of properties from Jin Jiashu, he started investigating these properties. Although he had to go on duty every day, his younger sister Haitang was idle at home, and he had many spies who could help run errands. It was not difficult to just inquire about the situation of a few properties.

Haitang had already found out what she needed to know a few days ago, and she also dealt with one of the managers who was not very obedient, and drove him away. When Jin Jiashu left the palace and officially took over these new industries, she would not have to bother herself with fighting with others.

Haitang also sorted out the accounts of the two farms and several shops, and handed them to Jin Jiashu in the name of his brother Haijiao. After he left the palace, the managers of these properties would come to meet the new owner, and at that time they should be able to provide him with a considerable amount of money, enough to make him rich quickly. Whether it was the rituals that should be held during the New Year or the wedding that was planned for next year, there would be no financial problems.

Not only that, Jin Jiashu will also have a considerable amount of cash in his hands.

Hai Jiao told Xiao Mei, "I mentioned to Xiao Jin before that my cousin, Grandpa Cao, and Grandpa Lu wanted to buy the Wu family's land. He didn't say anything at the time, but today he suddenly told me that he also wanted to buy a small house next to the Wu family's old land, saying that it would be convenient for him to study and prepare for the exam in the future. I thought that he would definitely participate in the Shuntian Prefecture's provincial examination next year, and it was natural for him to want to buy a house near the Imperial Examination Hall. But didn't he already have a big house awarded by Empress Xu? That house is located in Nanxunfang, which is not far from the Imperial Examination Hall. Why does he need to buy another one? He is not short of money, but he can't spend it casually. I asked him why he did this, and what do you think he answered me?"

Haijiao kept it a secret, but Haitang guessed the answer quickly: "The Nanxunfang mansion comes with dozens of male and female servants, all of whom were given by Empress Xu in the palace. Although they will take good care of the mansion, they will also serve as Empress Xu's eyes and ears. With Brother Jin's temper, being surrounded by palace servants in the palace is already uncomfortable enough. If he has to live with so many servants after leaving the palace, he will probably go crazy! He would rather find an excuse to move to a quiet small house with only a few trusted servants around him, rather than live in such a big house and be monitored everywhere."

After hearing this, Haijiao couldn't help but praise him, "You still understand Xiao Jin's thoughts. This is what he told me today. He said that when he was in the palace, he could only accept the meticulous service of the palace servants due to the rules. When he leaves the palace and returns home, he must live the free and easy life he had before. It doesn't matter even if others laugh at him for being a wild boar that can't eat fine bran. He has never been a spoiled nobleman. He just wants to live a peaceful and happy life with his sweetheart... cough, just want to live a peaceful and happy life with the trustworthy people around him.

Haijiao realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly changed his words, but he was still in a very good mood.

Jin Jiashu's words showed that he was still the simple boy he knew in Chang'an, and not a playboy who had become a member of the powerful circle in Beijing. Only such a man could Haijiao trust his sister to him.

He looked at his younger sister Haitang, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Since my younger sister understands Xiaojin's feelings so well, why don't you help me choose and see which piece of land of the Wu family suits your preferences more?"
