The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 345
Thinking of the Chinese medicine seedlings, Leng Ping realized that she hadn't looked at the seedlings since she came back, and immediately got up, put on a cotton jacket and went out.

Coptidis set up a floor in the greenhouse, guarding the medicinal seedlings day and night, and now both Astragalus and Bupleurum are growing well.

Huang Lian seemed to wake up in a particularly startled state. Before Leng Ping approached the greenhouse, Huang Lian got up and sat up, looking vigilantly outside the greenhouse.

After seeing that the person who came in was Leng Ping, Huang Lian's nervous expression relaxed, and he quickly got up and said, "The girl is back? I heard that Miss Hua'er was found?"

Leng Ping nodded and said: "I'm back, I'm fine, everything is fine, it's rare for you to miss me!"

Huang Lian stood aside respectfully, following Leng Ping as she walked in the greenhouse.

Seedlings of Bupleurum should be born in February, but now they are growing in the greenhouse ahead of schedule, and they are already half a foot high. When the weather turns warmer in spring, it is estimated that they will bloom soon, and the expected launch date is two months earlier than that of Bupleurum on the market. time.

Astragalus is a perennial herb, which can only be harvested after two or three years of planting, so Coptis chinensis is only carefully maintained.

The fully mature lin stems were selected as the cue ball when Lily was planted last autumn. Now, after a winter, it has already grown into a small bulb the size of a grain of rice. The basal leaves will grow as soon as the spring begins, and when the leaves wither in autumn It can be harvested.

This time the land was only one mu, and six varieties were planted, so there was only a little bit of one species. Now that spring came, Leng Ping still had fifteen mu of land. She planned to continue sowing Angelica dahurica and Atractylodes macrocephala, concentrating on several varieties. , and then expand when there are conditions.

Leng Ping walked around and looked very satisfied, looking back at Huang Lian, she said: "I have been away for nearly two months, and these medicinal materials are all thanks to you for taking care of them!"

Huang Lian quickly waved his hands, then lowered his head and remained silent.

Leng Ping was most concerned about poppies. Leng Ping had never planted poppies before. This thing is a contraband in modern times, so she just scattered it on the most fertile ground, and told her family to be extra careful about it. Now look Come, that poppy tree is actually very strong, with thick leaves, very luxuriant.

"It will be harvested this year!" Leng Ping sighed.

At this moment, Huang Lian, who had been standing behind him all the time, suddenly asked, "What are you doing planting this thing? It's not a good thing!"

Opium is indeed not a good thing, but the medicine of Chinese medicine is the ke of poppy. The prescription is also called "Royal Rice Shell" or "Poppy Shell". Or honey broiled.Poppy has a sour and astringent taste and is poisonous. It contains more than 30 alkaloids such as morphine, codeine, narcotine, and papaverine. It is an analgesic, cough, and antidiarrheal drug. All kinds of pain, chronic dysentery and frequent diarrhea are irreplaceable medicines.

As for the opium, which is obtained from the fruit juice, it contains alkaloids such as morphine, which can relieve the spasm of smooth muscle, especially vascular smooth muscle, and can inhibit the myocardium. It is mainly used for angina pectoris and arterial embolism.But long-term use is prone to addiction, chronic poisoning, serious harm to the body, and even death due to breathing difficulties.

Leng Ping only planned to give Situ Zhanchen Poppy Ke, not opium, which she wanted to keep for important purposes.

Upon hearing this, Leng Ping turned around and asked Huang Lian, "Do you know this thing?"

Situ Zhanchen once said that this poppy is the national flower of Yuan Country, an island country far away from the Celestial Dynasty. It is very precious. Even the people of that country may not have seen this national flower, but they don’t know how Coptis chinensis knows about it. !

"I saw it on the mountain!" Huang Lian said quickly.

Leng Ping suddenly remembered that she had found poppies on the mountain behind Taiping Village before, but it was a pity that there were no seeds. Thinking of this, Leng Ping didn't have any doubts, nodded and said: "If this poppy is used well, it can cure diseases and save people. Many things in the world have two sides. Things are like earth, people are alive, there are no sinful things, only the people who use them are guilty!"

Huang Lian was silent again.

After walking around in the greenhouse, Leng Ping felt relieved, and said, "It's time to prepare for the spring sowing of Atractylodes macrocephala and Angelica dahurica. You have experience in this field. I will hire a few more people to follow you!"

Huang Lian nodded quickly.

Leng Ping came out of the warm shed, and now she was thinking about her land. Those lands were rented out to others before, and they should be planted with food.

Leng Ping was thinking about walking into the main room when she saw Hao Dan and Shi Shi talking around the flowers.When Hao Shi saw her, he pulled her into the back room and asked, "Ping'er, you said that Hao Ren and your Uncle Yuan are behind, why haven't you come back yet?"

Now that Hua'er is back and the six spirits of the Hao family are back in place, they start to worry about Hao Ren again.

Leng Ping was also taken aback.

It has been seven or eight days since she came back. It stands to reason that Hao Ren and Yuan Kui should have arrived as well. Also, why is there no movement now?
"Ping'er, will something happen to Ren'er?" Hao Shi couldn't help rubbing his hands and asked.

"Probably not, maybe I was delayed on the way!" Leng Ping said quickly.

She knew that Hao Shi didn't want Hao Ren to participate in the palace examination, so she didn't dare to say anything else.

But Hao Ren won't ignore the flowers just because he has to take part in the imperial examination, there must be something delaying him!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Hao Shi said happily, "Ping'er, go and see if Ren'er is back!"

Now that Hua'er is safe and sound, and Hao Ren comes back from Tiancheng, all of Hao's worries will be over!
Leng Ping hurried to open the door, and it was Yuan Kui who was going to Tiancheng to pick up Hao Ren who knocked on the door.

However, there was only Yuan Kui standing outside the door, and Hao Ren was not there.

Leng Ping glanced out with doubts on her face.

Hao Ren didn't come back?Although the flowers are now found, but such a big incident happened at home, Hao Ren should come back!

At this moment, Hao Shi also came out, and when he saw Yuan Kui alone, he was taken aback, his expression changed immediately, and he asked anxiously, "Brother Yuan, where is Ren'er? Why didn't you come back?"

Yuan Kui hurriedly entered the door and said: "Sister-in-law of the Hao family, from Hao Ren's family, I haven't seen Hao Ren in Tiancheng. It is said that Hao Ren went to inspect with the patrol envoy Mr. Li, but I waited for three days and didn't come back." , the Liu Mansion’s Gaomen compound, although it’s good to live comfortably and eat well, but I’m thinking about Hua’er, so I’m in a hurry to come back, and Liu Fu’s housekeeper has already brought a message!”

After Yuan Kui explained, he asked again: "I heard that Hua'er was found, is it true? Why don't you send a letter to Hao Ren, telling him not to come back, and the whole exam will be over! Now there is still one month of spring. , On the way back here, I saw students going to Tiancheng to rush for the exam everywhere!"

It's already mid-February, and there is less than a month left before Chunwei, students should go to Tiancheng to prepare in advance!
