The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 559: Opponent (3)
"If it weren't for you back then, how could this king come back? You gave up the great place of Fuzhou? It is difficult to go back now, and now you are even telling this king about keeping a low profile!" Prince Fu was annoyed, and ordered Sheng Neng, "This Take care of things, but be quick with your hands and feet!"

Sheng Neng responded quickly.

Several veterans were a little nervous.

They had advised Prince Fu not to act too hastily on the matter of Prince Fu, but in the end King Yu was killed halfway, which made them lose their prestige in front of Prince Fu. They wanted to revive their prestige, but they had no way out.

Now that the emperor has King Yu, he is not as polite to Prince Fu as before!

Especially iron ore, maybe they will follow in the footsteps of Prince Lan.

Several veterans wanted to continue persuading, but Prince Fu had already made a decision.

In Licheng, the autumn tiger finally passed, and the weather gradually became cooler. Leng Ping wore a white embroidered plum blossom double-breasted cotton satin skirt, and a homely moon white thread-stitched skirt. She simply tied her hair in a bun and inserted a hairpin. Wu drove and took Zhongchun to inspect the medicine fields.

Today, the land from the outskirts of Licheng to Taiping Village is all hers, about 2000 mu, of which Leng Ping grows poppies.

Poppies are not a good thing, but they are of great use. Leng Ping is very strict with poppies and plans to prepare them for emergencies.

Now Huang Lian has become the chief manager, with Yang Tong and Yang Tiewa in charge of the medicine field. There are about 200 long-term workers under him. Short-term workers are hired at any time according to the season. The couple are still in charge of the Scorpion Pond. Now, together with Mu San and others, there are more than [-] servants in the family. Except for a dozen people who are responsible for the daily work of the Taiping Village House and the Leng Family’s Old House, the rest are in the medicine field, Toad Pond and Scorpion Shed were in charge of protection and supervision. Among the fifty or so servants, nearly half of them knew martial arts, and many of them were members of Hao Ren's guards.

Now is the season for poppy harvesting. Leng Ping asked Huang Lian and fifty servants to take full responsibility for the harvest of poppies. The planting of poppies was also kept secret. Fences were built around, and no one could approach within a radius of 100 meters.

The car entered the poppy field, Leng Ping took Mu Wu in to inspect it, and Zhong Chun stood by the carriage.

It's not that Leng Ping doesn't believe in Zhongchun, it's because the less people know about the poppy, the better.

Coptidis is leading people to harvest the milk of poppies, which will become opium after drying.

Leng Ping watched all the way, very satisfied, just as she was watching, Huang Lian came running from a distance to pay her respects.

When Leng Ping met Huang Lian for the first time, Huang Lian was very thin, and with that rotten wind, he was worse than the beggars on the road, but now he has grown into a young man of seven or eight years old. Seventy-five is considered to be of medium build, and his facial features can be regarded as well-rounded, but he is in the field all year round, and he doesn't pay much attention to grooming. He wears a half-worn gray cloth gown all day long.

In the past two years, because of the reputation of the Hao family, many girls are willing to marry Huang Lian, all of whom are innocent and attractive, but Huang Lian is unwilling. Seeing that Hao Dan is about to marry, Huang Lian is still a bachelor with.

After seeing the ceremony, Huang Lian went forward and reported the harvest of poppies in a low voice. This is the first time that such a large area of ​​poppies has been planted, and the poppies are delicate. Although five of the planters were former flower farmers, they were very careful. , or about half an acre of land was lost.However, Leng Ping was very satisfied with the result, and told Huang Lian to carry the harvested poppy milk to the ground first, and she would send someone to escort it to the medicine store in a while.

Leng Ping wanted to extract the opium herself, she couldn't let anyone touch it, and occasionally asked Hao Dan to help.

Leng Ping came out of the poppy field, and when she arrived at the medicine shop, she saw Hao Dan was sending out the customers, with a shrewd smile on his face.

The medicine store has been run by Hao Dan for the past two years, and Leng Ping only cares about growing medicines and making medicines, and she hasn't even seen a doctor for a long time!

The medical clinic hired a doctor with a high salary, that is, Doctor Gu. After Xia Liming died, Mr. Gu came back from the outside. Leng Ping happened to need a doctor urgently at that time, so she went to Mo Zhengyuan for news. Yuan introduced Mr. Gu.

Gu Lao still remembered Leng Ping, who came to the medical clinic to be a doctor, and naturally struggled for a while, but in the end, Leng Ping's words made Gu Lao make a decision.

Leng Ping said, does it mean that Mr. Gu doesn't want to restore his image in the eyes of the people in Licheng, but he just wants to bury you in the loess behind his back?

Gu Lao went to work in the clinic the next day.

Mr. Gu is an old doctor, and he takes safe medications, so he can take care of minor ailments. Unless he encounters difficult problems and is uncertain, he will ask Leng Ping for advice. Leng Ping is not stingy and often gives him advice, so the two Over the past few years, Gu Lao's medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and he is well-known in several nearby cities.

"Sister-in-law, another deal has been negotiated!" Hao Dan excitedly said to Leng Ping. Loving and respectful child!

"Don't worry about business, mother told you to go back, she said that there are some girls for you to see!" Leng Ping smiled and sat down slowly.

Hao Dan also sat on the side, "Here we go again, brother Yu is not married yet, why should I be in a hurry?"

Hao Dan was talking about Yu Xueliang. Yu Xueliang finally passed the Juren examination last year. With fame, he became a boss under Hao Ren.

"Okay, if you don't learn, you will learn from him!" Leng Ping said displeased.

Although Yu Xueliang is getting older and more stable, but in Leng Ping's opinion, sometimes he still doesn't clean up. Yu Xueliang is also afraid of her, and often calls her a tigress in front of Hao Ren.

Hao Dan chuckled, and said again: "Brother Huang Lian isn't married yet, you praise him every day!"

Speaking of Huanglian, Leng Ping really felt that it was a troublesome thing. Huanglian didn't talk much on weekdays, and he didn't have many friends. He stayed in the medicine field all day, and he was a bit slovenly. I really didn't know what kind of appearance he liked. woman!

Leng Ping first asked Mu Wu to take someone to fetch poppy juice, and now chatted with Hao Dan, saying: "If you have time, you can secretly ask Huang Lian to see what he thinks, he is so big, should he Talk about getting married!"

Seeing that he had successfully changed the subject, Hao Dan responded immediately.

Waiting for nothing to happen, Leng Ping asked for the account book, glanced briefly at it, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that Hao Dan was hesitating, as if she had something to say.

"What's the matter?" Leng Ping asked, "But what's going on in the medicine store?"

Hao Dan shook his head, "It's not about the medicine shop, it's Master Huang. Last time I went to see him, he had a bad cough. In the past two years, his throat has always been like this. , although this cough is not a serious illness, but I can see that Master Huang is very uncomfortable, plus the matter of Huayao..."
