Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 128 Entering Tanzhou Academy for a long time (2)
Qu Kuaishou raised his head and asked excitedly, "Do you think the executioner can be an official?"

Dr. Hong's father said: "Before I wrote this memorial, I had investigated hundreds of executioners in Chang'an City and the counties directly under the Central Government. I thought that the executioners were people who killed the most evil people for the imperial court, but their reputation was extremely bad. It would affect their families. compensate."

With tears in his eyes, Qu Kuaishou bowed and saluted and said, "Thank you for always speaking out for people in the profession of executioner."

"My memorial failed again. Don't thank me." Dr. Hong raised Qu Kuaishou with both hands.

Dr. Hong's wife, Li Shi, said in the main room: "Last time in Tanzhou, your family left the Duke's Mansion in a hurry. We didn't get a letter, and we didn't send you off."

He Shiwan'er said: "Your family is too polite, this time you came all the way and brought so many gifts."

She knew that people from Dr. Hong's family would come to propose marriage, but she didn't expect the whole family to come, so sincere.

Mrs. Li said with a smile: "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be celebrated soon, and we will bring some festive food to your family."

Li Yunxiao and his little friend Hong Zhiyuan hugged together a long time ago, laughing and laughing, and went to the yard to play.

Hong Zhiyuan looked around but couldn't find Li Jingjing.

Li Yunxiao asked: "Before I left, brother Niu said he would come to my house. Why didn't he come?"

Hong Zhiyuan said solemnly: "Grandpa Niu was demoted by the court and transferred back to Chang'an. The Niu family members have all left. Brother Niu has also left."

"Brother Niu left Tanzhou?" Disappointed, Li Yunxiao dragged Hong Zhiyuan to the main room, and said loudly to Qu Shi and He Shi who were sitting inside: "Grandma, mother, Grandpa Niu's family has gone to Chang'an Academy. Brother Niu Can't come and see me."

Dr. Hong said: "Your Majesty is merciful. Brother Niu was implicated in the wasp sting case, so he was only demoted one level, exempted from his salary for one year, and was transferred to Chang'an Academy as the vice president."

He and Dean Niu have become bosom friends because of their musical instruments, and they are called brothers, but they call their son Dean Niu's grandfather.

The He family said with a slight smile: "Tanzhou is not as prosperous as Chang'an. Chang'an Academy is several times larger than Tanzhou. Your Majesty treats Dean Niu with open and secret promotion."

Dr. Hong always knew that the He family was not easy, nodded and said: "You are right. His Majesty appreciates Brother Niu very much. This time, Brother Niu took all the responsibilities alone, and His Majesty admired his character even more, so he was transferred back to the around."

Dr. Hong's wife asked, "Where's your mother Jing?"

Qu said with a smile: "She went to Xiaoju Village ten miles away to collect herbs, and she should be back soon."

Dr. Hong asked curiously: "I saw more than a dozen bamboo dustpans drying on the eaves of your house. The black, gray and green things in them are all medicinal herbs?"

Qu said: "Don't be afraid, some of the bamboo dustpans are medicinal herbs, and more are centipedes, snake bones, snake gallbladders, and toads."

Dr. Hong's old lady smiled and said, "I'm not afraid. As you said, I raised silkworms when I was a child, and even raised silkworms that could live without their tails."

Listening to Dr. Hong's old lady describing silkworms, Qu's skin got goosebumps all over her body.She is most afraid of this kind of bug.

Seeing Mrs. Hong's high spirits when she talked about little beasts, He Shi was not afraid at all, she looked like an old version of Li Jingjing.

Li Jingjing's silvery laughter came from the courtyard, and soon, she, Li Yunxiao and Niu Zhiyuan entered the main room and saluted several elders.

The Hong family saw that Li Jingjing was combing the three servant girls, who were tied with purple silk belts in black, wearing a light purple jacket, silver-gray trousers, and purple silk embroidered shoes with mille-feuille bottoms. She was very cute and peaceful.

He Shi purposely didn't mention the name of the herb just now, just to leave a little suspense for the Hong family, and asked with a smile: "Have you kept the herb?"

"Take it. Let me show you what kind of herb this is." Li Jingjing called Jin Wanglian and Wangyue.

The two Taoist nuns each carried a three-foot-high bamboo basket and placed it in the center of the hall, signaling for everyone to come in and have a look at the medicinal herbs in the basket.

Dr. Hong's wife was surprised and said, "But ginseng?"

Ginseng has strong cold resistance, and the soil is well-drained, loose, fertile, and deep humus layer brown forest soil or mountain ash brown forest soil.It is mostly produced in the northern and central regions, and it is rarely heard that it has been produced in Hunan Province. (Excerpt from Baidu)

When Qu Shi heard that it was ginseng, he immediately stepped forward and looked down carefully. There were several green plants in the two baskets that he had never seen before. The stems were two feet high, the leaves were palm-shaped compound leaves, and the roots were covered with fertile black soil. Buried, asked: "Is this ginseng?"

Li Jingjing stretched out her hand to gently stroke the ginseng leaves, nodded and replied, "Yes. There are five of them in total, and the growth period is ten to fifteen years."

He Shi Wan Er asked, "Where did you find this?"

Li Jingjing's skin was made even whiter by the light purple shirt, her starry eyes sparkled, and she said with a smile, "They grow in the deep mountains behind Xiaoju Village, and they were unintentionally dug up by the villagers when they were picking herbs yesterday."

Qu said with a smile to the Hong family: "I heard that there are bears in the deep mountains of Xiaoju Village, and the villagers didn't dare to go there before."

Li Jingjing said: "The villagers didn't even go to the pharmacy to inquire about the price. This morning, I directly entrusted Huahua's elder brother to send me a message, asking me to go and appraise it. I saw that it was a rare item, so I bought it for 300 taels of silver." .”

There are various varieties of ginseng, such as Korean ginseng, American ginseng, round ginseng, wild ginseng, edge ginseng, etc.

This time she bought the rarest wild ginseng.

According to common sense, wild ginseng likes cold and cool places, and it is only found in broad-leaved forests composed of trees, shrubs, and weeds in Northeast China and Korea.

There is a cold stream in the shadow of the mountains in Xiaoju Village, and beside the stream is a cypress forest made of shrubs and weeds, which strangely gave birth to five wild ginseng plants.

The medicinal effect of wild ginseng is to invigorate deficiencies and rescue, greatly invigorate vitality, strengthen essence and fitness, prolong life and prolong life.

She was lucky enough to meet and buy it.

Dr. Hong asked: "I saw that there are medicinal animal gardens in the front and back yards of your house. Just now I heard from your family that there are still a few acres of medicinal herbs. Why do you still buy from the villagers?"

Li Jingjing raised her beautiful eyebrows, and said solemnly: "I make a lot of medicines every day, and the medicinal materials in the medicine animal garden and the medicinal herb garden are not enough."

Dr. Hong was thoughtful, and said: "I remembered, you donated four pots of medicine to the Academy at one time during the Xiangguo Festival, which requires a lot of medicinal materials to make."

Li Jingjing nodded with a smile and said, "I collect not only medicinal herbs, but also medicinal animals. The dried medicinal animals on the roof of my house are collected from the villagers for money."

Since May of this year, she has made a list of medicinal herbs and medicinal animals, and asked Qu Zheng and Qu Yi to go to the pharmacy to inquire about the prices, and then set a price slightly higher than the price of the pharmacy, and began to buy from the villagers.

There are only good medicinal herbs and medicinal animals in the deep mountains, and collecting medicinal herbs is a dangerous thing.

In the past, when villagers went to the deep mountains to gather medicine and were injured, even if they died, the medicine shop would not give a copper coin.

The price she gave was high, and the people in the village were bitten by animals who caught medicine, or were injured by picking herbs, and they were cured with free medicine.
