Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 461 All the tribe suffers from nocturnal wandering (1)
Yuan Yunzi, the master of Baiyun Temple, led 25 great Taoist physicians and [-] great pharmacists out of Chang'an City and headed for Luoyang City.

He Dong sent Li Bing to inspect Henan Road.He Jingyan led five thousand troops to escort Li Bing.

After the third day of March, the weather suddenly warmed up, and the rain also increased.

Almost all the rich and noble families in Chang'an City took a carriage to Luoyang to watch the Peony Fair.

The Li family deliberately avoided the peak period of crowds, and waited until ten days before the flower fair started to go out. Except for Li Yunqing and his wife, everyone else was dispatched.

Those who took the Li family's carriage to Luoyang were relatives of the Qu family, Li Bei, Hong Laosan and other family members of several subordinates.

It rained heavily in the afternoon of that day, the soldiers of the Li family rode military horses to clear the way ahead, and the convoy followed closely behind on the official road.

Suddenly the carriage stopped.

Sitting cross-legged in the car eating melon seeds, Li Jingjing leaned forward, but was held by Qu's arm so that she did not fall down.

He asked loudly: "The official road ahead has collapsed, making it impossible for the carriage to move forward?"

Hong Laosan's rough voice overcame the sound of the heavy rain, and said, "Reporting to Da Furen, the official road ahead is not a landslide, but something else happened, and the forward soldiers are inquiring about it."

The heavy rain hit the roof of the carriage, the interior of the carriage was dark, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing, but it did not affect the good mood of the Li family.

When he was young, Hong's third voice sounded again, and he was actually a little anxious, "Ma'am, there was an accident in front of the officials. Two villagers driving two cows collided with two horse-drawn carriages, seriously injuring eight people. "

Deng was taken aback and muttered, "Why did the cow collide with the carriage?"

Li Jingjing lifted a corner of the car window, looked out the window in the darkness, the bean-sized raindrops slammed into the car window frame and splashed in, sighed, and said: "The sky is dark under the rain, and the official road can't be seen clearly. I guess the wagon was going too fast and it hit the bull."

Hong Lao San said in a loud voice: "Several great doctors in the mansion, Guang Mingzi got out of the carriage to take a look. The nearby village is leading people to remove the patients and the carriage. The official road has been opened. May I ask the lady, the team Do you want to move forward?"

He Shi said: "Qubing and Yunxiao stayed behind to wait for a few great physicians, Guang Mingzi. The rest continued on their way."

In such weather, there are many women and children in the convoy, so they must not stay here to prolong the time.

Li Jingjing said loudly: "Uncle Hong, stretch out your hand and give this bottle to Guang Mingzi."

So Li Qubing, Li Yunxiao and fifty soldiers from Prince Li's residence stayed behind, and they all continued to move forward in the rain in a carriage.

Half an hour later, the rain gradually subsided, and they had already entered Taolin County (now Lingbao City), the jurisdiction area of ​​Henan Province. The Li family went to spend the night at the house of a wealthy businessman friend of Li Bing as originally planned.

This wealthy businessman is called Murong Feng. His family is a big family that has been in business for hundreds of years. During the war, they were engaged in medicinal materials and grain business, and in peacetime, they were engaged in wood and book business.

When Li Bing supported He Dong in his war, the army needed a lot of food. At that time, food was expensive and scarce during the war, and it was often impossible to buy it with money.

For Li Bing's sake, Murongfeng gave He Dong's army a cheap price for the food every time, and guaranteed the quality and quantity.

Once he learned that Li Bing was eating coarse grains and gave the army [-] catties of rice noodles for nothing, so he insisted that Li Bing eat fine grains.

Later when He Dong came to the throne, Li Bing begged for an imperial plaque for Murong Feng: Yi Bo Yun Tian.

Businessmen seek profit.Yi Bo Yuntian is the highest evaluation for a businessman.

This plaque became the amulet of the Murong family. As long as the Ding Dynasty exists, no one will dare to bully them.

Murong Feng is 65 years old this year, and has four sons and three daughters under his knees.Like Li Bing, he had only one wife.

Before the Li family came, they sent a message to Murong Feng.

Murongfeng was very happy, and called back his three sons, two daughters, more than a dozen grandsons, granddaughters, great-granddaughters, great-grandsons, and great-granddaughters who lived within a hundred miles.

He took his three sons to chat with Qu Kuaishou and Li Laoshi.

His wife had passed away, so the three daughters-in-law accompanied Qu and He to talk.

The eldest daughter-in-law specifically said to He Shi: "Master, my family's library has books from three dynasties. Would you like to go and have a look?"

For hundreds of years, the Murong family has printed countless books for the imperial court, Luoyang Academy, celebrities, etc. Every time a new book is printed, they will keep a few books for collection as a souvenir.

He Shi has been thinking about this matter, nodded along the way, and then took the twins to the library by the eldest daughter-in-law.

Li Jingjing wanted to see how many books the wealthy merchants had collected for hundreds of years, so she followed. This visit was really eye-opening.

The number of books of the Murong family has reached as much as [-]% of the collection of Tanzhou Academy.

This is just a wealthy merchant family, not a big family like the Di and Bai families whose family is passed down through writing.

In comparison, the number of books that the He family put so much effort into collecting for the Li family is not worth mentioning.

He Shi said a little excitedly: "I heard from my father that there are many books in your mansion, and seeing them today, the reputation is well-deserved."

When He was young, the Mu Clan's collection of books was more than that of the Murong Clan, and there were more children and teenagers in the clan than anyone who read books.

She wants the Li family and the He family to have a lot of books, so that the descendants can be proud of reading a lot.

The eldest daughter-in-law said modestly: "Our family collects books to record how many new books have been printed. The people in the clan don't read these books. The pages are all new, which makes you laugh."

The Murong family is a big family with a large population but not complicated. The reason is that the family rules stipulate that men are not allowed to take concubines.

The children of the Murong family who came here are all direct descendants, all of them are smart, lively and cute, and they will learn to do some business since they were young.

He asked the twins to learn the merits of the children of the Murong family.

Ding's natal family is a wealthy businessman, but the age of business is far less than that of the wealthy Murong family, this time it is an eye-opener.

Mrs. Ding is going to write a letter to her natal father, asking him to go around with the Murong family and learn how to run a big business and keep the wealth.

Qu Duo's bride, Ma Shi, brought out her four sons and daughters to let them learn more.

For dinner, the Murong family entertained the distinguished guests of the Li family with authentic Henan dishes.

Braised Yellow River carp in soy sauce, braised mutton and other dishes are served with more than a dozen snacks such as mutton stewed noodles, vegetarian pot stickers, and soup dumplings. There are no luxurious dishes such as bear paws, abalone, and blood swallows, but the guests eat very comfortably. There are not many meals.

Satisfied with wine and food, Li Laoshi followed Li Bing's instructions and said, "Uncle Murong, I heard from my father that someone in your family suffers from nocturnal excursions. My daughter has a little knowledge of medicine and can treat patients."

Murong Feng's eyes flickered, he looked away, he let out a long sigh, and said: "My wife suffered from this disease before her life, and she has already passed away."

Li Honestly heard that the patient Li Bing said was not Mrs. Murong, and he didn't force Murong Feng, so he said, "Sorry, I remind you of my deceased aunt."
