Madam not allowed to remarry

Chapter 425 Poppy Flower

Poppies.

In this dynasty with inconvenient transportation and few exchanges between countries, this kind of poisonous flower is as unknown as the saffron that Long Aoxue took as a miscarriage-sedating medicine, but actually lost the fetus.

Meng Baiyun once studied the map of this era. Jinzhou is the boundary. To the south is the territory of Southern Chu, and to the north is the territory of Beiliang. From the perspective of the four seasons, the two countries are equivalent to the south and north of the modern Yangtze River. .

On the map, there are several small subsidiary countries.

The subsidiary effects of Beiliang include Loulan and other countries in the Western Regions.

And the small countries affiliated to Southern Chu are several small Zhoudao countries.

Meng Baiyun almost searched all the maps on Long Aohan's bookshelf, and the places included on the map are just a few.

Therefore, the place of origin of poppies, west of the Western Regions, is still an unknown area for people of this era.

Naturally, it is impossible for people here to know poppies.

But how did the poppies come about?

Meng Baiyun was holding the flower and drawing on the table.

To the west of the Western Regions, the territory of this dynasty shows a vast ocean.

For this era when navigation technology is still advanced, it is impossible to know what is on the other side of the ocean.

There is no Zheng He who sailed to the West, nor Columbus the navigator. How did the poppy come across the sea?

The reason why Meng Baiyun felt that this thing came across the ocean was because even the Ghost Valley had never mentioned it to her. Ghost Valley traveled all over the world, and there was no medicinal material in the world that he didn't know about.

The poppy, he either did not know, or had never been found on this land.

Holding the stick of poppy, Meng Baiyun continued to draw westward until it reached the edge of the table. She tapped on the table lightly, holding her chin in confusion: "Which master brought it back?"

After ringing for a while, naturally I couldn't think of a fart.

Su Er came back, and when she saw the words in her hand, she was a little terrified: "Ma'am, don't play, if you are poisonous, you can still play, servant girl go and throw it away."

"Don't throw it away, isn't it pretty?"

"But didn't you say it's poisonous? It's only poisonous when it's in the mouth, but since it's poisonous, throw it away anyway."

Meng Baiyun sighed helplessly: "Say you are timid, you dare to pick it if you don't know what it is, say you are bold, this thing is not poisonous to death, it's just addictive, you can't stop it, you Afraid of what it will become."

"Can't stop, silver bead powder?"

Silver bead powder, Meng Baiyun always thought it was poppy extract, but after she returned to Chang'an City, she asked Guigu once, and Guigu said that it was a kind of animal bone marrow ground and mixed with several medicinal materials. Poppy has the same effect, but that thing is pure poison, and the thing in her hand actually has extremely high medicinal value.

"No, bring me a vase."

"Ma'am, you really want to raise it."

"kindness."

"Okay, is this okay?"

Su Er took a thin mouth vase.

Meng Baiyun nodded: "Yes."

After inserting the flowers, let Su Er put them on the shelf.
The ornamental value is quite high, and it is well-deserved to be selected as the god flower by ancient Egypt.

The maid outside the door came to call for dinner.
Meng Baiyun glanced at the flower, and went to the front hall with Su Er.

Yuan Qingyi was not there. When Meng Baiyun entered, her mother-in-law and Aunt Hao were chatting.

Not long after she went in, Long Aohan and the old general also arrived.

It seemed that Yuan Qingyi's position was vacant, and the old general's face suddenly became gloomy.

Aunt Hao hurriedly said: "Father, Qing Yi said that she was too tired, so she stopped eating and fell asleep."

"He wants to eat and doesn't give him food."

When he didn't come to eat breakfast, the old man just let go of his harsh words like this.

In fact, Aunt Hao was here, and the old man knew that Yuan Qingyi would not be hungry.

After a meal, everyone automatically ignored Yuan Qingyi, but they ate in a friendly manner.

After dinner, Aunt Hao held Meng Baiyun back: "Baiyun, Aunt Hao has something to tell you."

Meng Baiyun turned to Long Aohan: "You don't have to wait for me, go back to your room first."

"kindness."

What can Aunt Hao say to her?

Meng Baiyun asked himself, she didn't intervene in Yuan Qingyi's matter, and Aunt Hao was the one who didn't complain after eating Huanglian, so it could be because of her mother-in-law.

Meng Baiyun guessed wrong, it was really for Yuan Qingyi.

"Baiyun, I know your medical skills are good."

It's not just good, it's really good.

Well, she should be more modest.

"What's the matter, Aunt Hao? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's not me, it's your uncle."

"Him? He's not feeling well, just call the doctor."

Aunt Hao showed a look of embarrassment: "In the past, he always pretended to be sick to cheat money, and your grandfather didn't believe in it for a long time. And this time he didn't look like he was sick, and he kept saying that he was not sick. If I go to your grandfather and tell him that he is ill, I am afraid that your grandfather will think that I am trying to cheat money."

It turned out to be the case.

"Aunt Hao, grandpa wouldn't think so, and you're not an uncle."

Aunt Hao was a little embarrassed: "Before, before your uncle was going out to gamble, I, I did go to the cashier to cheat, cheat once, and was caught by your grandfather. It's really embarrassing to say, but I can't stand your uncle I begged hard. He has become addicted to gambling, and it hurts me to watch, so."

Yuan Qingyi is useless.

"I see." Aunt Hao even said such embarrassing words, Meng Baiyun didn't say much, "You take me there."

"In this way, you will lie to your uncle and say that you have taken the pulse of the whole family, let alone see a doctor for him. I am afraid that he will be angry."

Hey, you are so careful in being a human being.

Meng Baiyun also felt sorry for her.

"I see, Aunt Hao."

"Hey, let's go, he's asleep right now, your grandfather won't let him eat, he really doesn't want to eat, I don't know where his stubbornness came from, I gave him food, and he said he wasn't hungry ,Want sleep."

"Aunt Hao, tell me about Uncle's illness."

Aunt Hao looked distressed: "I just love to sleep. Ever since I couldn't gamble, I have been addicted to sleep. I sleep part of the day and night. And I don't like to eat. I have lost a lot of weight."

Meng Baiyun didn't see it, but he couldn't see anything from the baggy clothes, and only the closest people could see him take off his clothes.

"What about other than that?"

Aunt Hao thought hard: "It seems that there is nothing else, just sleeping at night and sweating."

"Aunt Hao, don't worry, it's just a sequela of quitting gambling."

"Sequelae of quitting gambling?"

"Gambling was the only thing my uncle used to do. He didn't work hard because of gambling, and he didn't recognize his relatives. Now he suddenly has nothing to gamble, and his spirit has lost sustenance, so he collapsed all of a sudden."
"Well, how long will it take him to recover?"

"It's hard to say, an old gambler like him..."

Suddenly realized that it was not appropriate to use these three words in front of Aunt Hao.

Aunt Hao sighed slightly in embarrassment: "Look, even you juniors don't look down on him. How did he turn himself into such a human and ghost? It's okay, Baiyun, go ahead and talk."

"Uncle like this, he doesn't like gold, silver and jewels, he doesn't want beautiful women's cars, he just wants to gamble, this kind of thing is completely insane, it's hard to say how long it will take to get rid of the disease completely.

Objectively speaking, the current atmosphere and environment at home are not conducive to him getting out of this demonic obstacle. "

Aunt Hao smiled wryly: "He and your grandfather quarreled every day, except that he wanted me to find a way to help him get some money, and he wanted to go to the casino to try again. The rest of the time, he hardly looked at me directly. I also wanted to help him. .”

"There's another way to help."

"What?" Aunt Hao seemed to see hope, her eyes lit up.

"Just cut off his hands."

Aunt Hao was dumbfounded.

Meng Baiyun smiled lightly: "I'm just kidding you."

"Huh, it really scared me."

"Okay, Aunt Hao, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain. You wash your face with tears every day, accommodate him, and take care of him, but you may not be able to change his mind and start a new life. You might as well start tomorrow and leave him alone. Here I am He wants some money, you give it, don't worry, no gambling house in Chang'an City will accept him again."

"This, is this okay?"

"It's nothing good or bad, he just doesn't give up, give him money, let him give up completely, don't die once, twice, don't die twice, three times, he just wants to try, ten taels is fine, twenty taels is fine Okay, he just wants to try it, so give him a try."

"But I'm afraid that he will die in the end even if he wants to live."

"Death is unclean."

Aunt Hao was dumbfounded again.

Naturally, Meng Baiyun said again: "I'm teasing you, Aunt Hao."

But this sentence is really not funny.

If Yuan Qingyi was a man like Meng Baiyun, he would be sent to see the King of Hades. Living would be a waste of air.

When they arrived at Yuan Qingyi's courtyard, Aunt Hao subconsciously slowed down her steps.

This small movement made Meng Baiyun shake his head and sigh.

Such a scumbag, it doesn't matter if it makes noise or not.

"Baiyun, he must not wake up right now, just wait, I'll wake him up before you come in."

"Let me call."

Aunt Hao knew how to call it, and she might not be able to call it after being gentle and gentle for a long time.

After Meng Baiyun finished speaking, without waiting for Aunt Hao to say anything, she went to the door and pushed it open.

The movement was huge, and it naturally created quite a commotion.

Yuan Qingyi seemed to be taken aback, she got up from the bed, and before she could see the person in front of her, she started cursing: "I'm looking for death, I didn't see that I was sleeping."

Aunt Hao looked embarrassed: "Qingyi, it's Baiyun."

Seeing that it was Meng Baiyun, Yuan Qingyi stopped the scolding, but his tone was not very pleasant: "It's so late, if you have something to say, go to the East Chamber, don't come here to disturb me."

Aunt Hao was careful and patient: "Qingyi, it's like this, Baiyun..."

"I'm here to give money to uncle."

Meng Baiyun couldn't bear Aunt Hao's persuasive persuasion to this nice face.

She was straightforward and threw out some money, and Yuan Qingyi had a black face full of smiles.

"Nephew, why, why did you think of sending money to uncle?"

"I know that uncle is short of money." Meng Baiyun said indifferently, without any emotion or wordiness, and stepped forward to throw a piece of snowflake silver on the bed.
