Medical incense

"My little master, don't mess with this." Li Qi's daughter-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, "...This is for your mother's medical treatment. It's very expensive, so it can't be used as a toy."

Deer antler is not just something you can buy with money.

"...to treat my mother?" Jian Wen and Jian Wu raised their faces and looked at Zhen Shiniang. They didn't believe what Li Qi's daughter-in-law said.

This is obviously an animal horn, how could it be medicine?

"This is called deer antler." Zhen Shiniang took the antler from Jian Wu's hand, and explained in a warm voice, "It's the tender horns of a male deer..." He stretched out the antler to Jian Wen and Jian Wu, "Look, it hasn't grown yet. Hard bones like ox horns, with hair on them, so they are called deer antlers, which can nourish blood and nourish Qi...It was you, Uncle Li, who went up the mountain to beat..." The children may not understand it, but Zhen Shiniang has long cultivated everything. Make it a habit to make it clear to them.

"Is this really medicine?" Jian Wen's eyes widened. "...Mother will be cured after eating this disease?"

I didn't want to lie to the child, but thinking that Jian Wu and Jian Wen had been very preoccupied since he fell asleep for two days last time, Zhen Shiniang nodded vaguely.

"...Then I will go up the mountain tomorrow to get velvet antlers for my mother?" Jian Wu said solemnly.

"...How can it be done?" Li Qi's daughter-in-law was startled, "You are not as tall as a table, how can you go hunting without being pushed three feet away by a deer?" Then she bluffed, "There are tigers on the mountain, Specially eat children."

Zhen Shiniang frowned.

"...I have a slingshot, I can hit the tiger's eyes with perfect accuracy!" Jian Wu's face turned pale, but he did not show weakness, "I will ask Uncle Zhang to take me there!" How about the roe deer, the roe deer meat is delicious!" Turning around, she asked Zhen Shiniang, "Mother, can I go hunting velvet with Uncle Zhang?"

"Okay..." Zhen Shiniang smiled and softly smoothed his hair, "However, we have to wait until you can draw the bow from Uncle Zhang's house."

Uncle Zhang is Zhang Zhi next door. There is an ancestral bow in the family. It weighs more than 50 catties. It has at least two to three hundred catties of arm strength to draw it. Zhen Shiniang has not heard of anyone in this town who can draw that bow.

Jian Wu stuck out his tongue, "...Uncle Zhang was cleaning his bow at home yesterday, my brother and I couldn't lift it!"

"Then grow up quickly." Zhen Shiniang smiled and pulled him to send Li Qi's wife out of the house.

Early the next morning, Zhen Shiniang took Qiu Ju to get busy in the front yard.

To pickle sauerkraut in the north, the repaired whole cabbage must be scalded with boiling water first, and neatly stacked in the tank, one layer at a time, sprinkled with large grains of salt, and then pressed with stones to seal it. It can be eaten in two or three months.

Because a large pot was needed to boil the water, and she was afraid that the kang would be too hot to sleep, Zhen Shiniang set up a temporary stove in the front yard. As soon as it was set up, Li Qi's wife hurried over.

Zhen Shiniang straightened up with a smile, "...you are positive, I just set up the stove, and the pot hasn't been washed yet." Instructed Qiu Ju, "After washing the pot, add water and set the fire." Greeting Li Qi's daughter-in-law Entering the house, "The dishes are all repaired, just wait for the water to boil, and Mrs. Li will come in and drink some water and sit for a while..."

Li Qi's daughter-in-law blushed, and said with a sneer, "...I'm going to make a slip of the tongue today, you wait for a day, and I'll pick it up for you tomorrow." Greeting Qiu Ju, "Don't get angry, either. Wait until tomorrow."

Qiu Ju looked at Zhen Shiniang.

Zhen Shiniang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't be polite to me, if you have something to do, just go to work, you have already reached out, and Qiu Ju and I can marinate this order after a day of dawdling."

"I'm not being polite to you, you're not free today either."

"What's wrong?" Seeing her unnatural smile, Zhen Shiniang's heart skipped a beat.

Looking around, Li Qi's daughter-in-law pulled Zhen Shiniang into the house, "Let's go in and talk." Turning to Qiu Ju who was standing there in a daze, "You just listen to me, don't be too busy today, Go and rest."

"Sister-in-law Li said, don't start a fire, tidy up the yard, feed the chickens and then go inside and rest." Zhen Shiniang instructed Qiu Ju.

Qiu Ju responded, lowered her head and packed up.

"What's going on?" Asking Li Qi's daughter-in-law to sit down, Zhen Shiniang turned around and poured water for her.

"... There are people coming from the hospital!" Li Qi's daughter-in-law looked serious.

Too many people from the hospital?

Zhen Shiniang's hand that was pouring water trembled.

There is no medical and health department in the six ministries, and most of the functions related to medical and health are performed by the imperial hospital. From this perspective, the imperial hospital is equivalent to the modern Ministry of Health, representing the government, and the imperial doctors in it are also official doctors. Ordinary people have money and can't afford it, but now they come to Ruixiang Pharmacy for no reason. Why?

Could it be that the news of the plague reached the court?

Shaking his head again in confusion, although this is close to Shangjing, it will take a few hours to arrive quickly, but there is no movement in the town's yamen. Could it be that this ancient government order was not passed down from level to level, but was actually leapfrogged?

Her heart was churning, but Zhen Shiniang's expression remained unchanged. She turned around and handed the water to Li Qi's wife, and asked casually, "... Who came here, and didn't say what to do?"

"The leader is the deputy envoy of the Supreme Hospital, surnamed Wen, who came last night and went directly to Liu Mazi's house..." Li Qi's daughter-in-law took the water and put it aside. Someone brought it to me and said that Liu Ergui was indeed suffering from toad plague, but he was already cured, and asked for your prescription to study for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything, just let me invite you over..." Looking at Zhen Shi Mother, "They are very polite. I guess it's not a big deal. It's just this prescription...they are always official doctors. We are a small pharmacy, and we can't screw them up."

Once this prescription is made public by the Tai Hospital, she will lose money, and because of this, Li Qi's daughter-in-law is very upset all morning.

Zhen Shiniang didn't think about it. The imperial physician first went to see Liu Ergui, explaining that they came here just for this matter. Although she was confident that a large-scale plague would not break out, it is always good to have people from the imperial hospital to guard against it.

It's just that, since the government was alarmed, then my own behavior is not to report if I know about it.

Colleagues are enemies.

Will the embassy of the Tai Hospital take this to make things difficult for her and send her directly to jail?

A thought flashed through Zhen Shiniang's mind to refuse, and she swallowed her words abruptly. She is just a small private doctor, and the deputy minister of health invited her. How dare she not go?

For a moment, Zhen Shiniang fought back and forth a few times in her heart.

"Ayou, pack up and come with me..." Seeing Zhen Shiniang groaning silently, Li Qi's daughter-in-law urged, "You are always a high-ranking official, we are not something we can offend, so don't make people wait."

Zhen Shiniang shivered, "...Sister Li wait a moment."

Mrs. Li is right, she has no right to choose, although she may not come back after she goes, this is also an opportunity, as long as she handles it properly, maybe she can take the opportunity to make friends with some imperial physicians.

If Ruixiang's unsalable pills can be sent to the Tai Hospital, maybe she can afford to open a pharmaceutical factory.

Said it was tidying up, but there was nothing to tidy up. Zhen Shiniang quickly changed into an unpatched light green floral Gebu jacket, her hair was caged again, she simply tied it in a bun, and said goodbye with a wooden hairpin. After putting on the black gauze hat, he greeted Li Qi's daughter-in-law who was sitting there drinking water in a daze, "... let's go."

Standing up, Li Qi's daughter-in-law looked at the bamboo hat on her head and said, "...when I see Imperial Physician Wen later, Ms. Jian must remember to take off the bamboo hat."

Zhen Shiniang paused.

What this is saying is that it's fine to see a patient with a veil, but it's a bit disrespectful to see the deputy minister of health.However, looking at the low grade, these imperial physicians often roam around the mansions of important ministers in the capital, will they recognize her?
