Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 58 Herbal Medicine
Momo Liao's anxious eyes were red, and she hurriedly shouted: "How can this be done, Dr. Sun, is there no way to make the girl not suffer at all? Isn't this a pharmacy? Is there any good medicine that I don't have?" , Doctor Sun, you must cure the girl." Du Heng has suffered too much since he lost his mother at the age of five, so Mammy Liao absolutely cannot accept the girl suffering again.

Dr. Sun shook his head dejectedly, stood up and bowed his head, and said, "Boss, you are old and incompetent."

Du Heng didn't care too much, he just said lightly: "It's because of my poor health, it has nothing to do with Dr. Sun, Dr. Sun, I am very interested in medical skills, I wonder if Dr. Sun can teach me?"

Dr. Sun was stunned, and it took him a while to react, and asked suspiciously, "Master, do you want to study medicine?"

Du Heng nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I want to study medicine."

Dr. Sun thought for a while, and tentatively suggested: "My master looks down on me, I am very honored, but it is not easy to study medicine. My master is a lady, so I can't go out often, and I can't go to the inner house. How about this, Let me read the medical books first, if there is anything I don't understand, I will write it down first, and when my boss visits the shop, how about I explain it to you?"

Du Heng originally planned this in his heart, so he nodded and said: "That's it, I will definitely ask Dr. Sun for advice in the future."

Dr. Sun was greatly relieved after hearing this, and he thought to himself: My boss must have acted on the spur of the moment, maybe I will forget about it in a few days, so I will respond first, and nothing will happen if my boss doesn't mention me in the future Just don't mention it.

Mother Liao heard that the girl only talked to Dr. Sun about studying medicine, so she said anxiously: "Dr. Sun, you gave our girl a prescription to recuperate her body!"

Dr. Sun quickly replied: "Yes, this old man will prescribe the prescription."

Dr. Sun was naturally more cautious when prescribing the medicine for his family. After prescribing the prescription, he stood up and said, "My family doesn't know anything. Shopkeeper Zhang's pulse case is very good, far above the old. By diagnosing your pulse, we can also come up with the best regimen for you."

Du Heng said lightly: "That's unnecessary, I can trust Dr. Sun's medical skills."

Nanny Liao refused, and kept saying, "Girl, since Dr. Sun said shopkeeper Zhang has a good pulse case, you can let him have a look. Your body is a matter of a lifetime, so don't be careless." Dr. Sun also nodded repeatedly. Said yes.Seeing Nanny Liao's persistent face, Du Heng nodded helplessly.

Dr. Sun immediately went out and invited Zhang Mujing in, and briefly talked about the pulse diagnosis. Zhang Mujing came to Du Heng and bowed to confess his crime before sitting down to take the pulse.After about a cup of tea, Zhang Mujing withdrew his finger and said something that was exactly the same as what Dr. Sun said just now.

Dr. Sun showed Zhang Mujing the prescription he had prescribed, and after much deliberation, Zhang Mujing took a pen to reduce the dosage of several medicines, and added two more medicines. After reading it, Doctor Sun kept shouting: "Wonderful! Shopkeeper Zhang has a good pulse case, but he didn’t think of it just now! This prescription will not cause any harm to the body even if it is taken all year round, shopkeeper Zhang has thought carefully."

Zhang Mujing smiled and said: "Doctor Sun praised you for the exquisite prescription. I just made some adjustments based on your prescription, which is more suitable for year-round consumption." After finishing speaking, Zhang Mujing bowed to Du Heng and said, "Mr. Take a rest, I'll go grab the medicine for you next time."

Du Heng heard this and asked softly: "Should I go to the front cabinet to grab medicine or go to the warehouse?"

Zhang Mujing was stunned for a moment before saying: "Go back to the owner's house and go to the storeroom to get medicine." Du Heng nodded and stood up, and said calmly: "I just want to go to the storeroom to see, shopkeeper Zhang will lead the way."

"Boss, there are three warehouses in the backyard, two for storing commonly used medicinal materials, one for storing precious medicinal materials, and two workshops for making pills and elixir, which will not start until after the Lantern Festival." Zhang Mujing introduced while walking.

Du Heng walked to the backyard and saw a circle of six houses head-on. These six houses looked tall and spacious, and could store a lot of medicinal materials.Zhang Mujing took out a bunch of keys and walked quickly to the door of the warehouse facing south, opened the heavy copper lock that locked the copper door knocker, opened the door and said with a smile: "Master, please come in."

As soon as the warehouse door was opened, there was a scent of medicinal herbs. Du Heng couldn't help speeding up his pace. He walked into the warehouse in three steps and rushed to the shelves before carefully identifying the medicinal materials on the shelves.

Zhang Mujing and Dr. Sun were surprised to see that the new owner was so interested in medicinal materials. Dr. Sun nodded slightly, and thought to himself: No wonder the owner said that she wants to study medicine. It seems that she is really interested in the study of medicine. If The boss is a savvy person, so he has to teach him seriously.

"Hey, shopkeeper Zhang, is this a lotus with nine leaves?" Du Heng saw a medicinal plant on the shelf that was exactly the same as the one she saw in the "Poison Classic". According to the "Poison Classic", this lotus with nine leaves is a A very rare medicinal material, prepared with wine is a good antidote, and roasted with fire is highly poisonous.

Zhang Mujing was even more surprised. Nine-leaf Yizhilian was not a herbal medicine from the Central Plains, but a kind of medicinal material unique to Miaodi. Few of the doctors in the Central Plains knew it. The reason why he knew it was because he lived in Miaodi with his elders when he was young. The reason for worshiping Miao doctors as teachers.

"Boss, this is a lotus with nine leaves, which was bought by a patient the year before last to pay for the medicine. There is only this one in the shop." Zhang Mujing suppressed the shock in his heart and slowly explained.

"How much did you pay for the medicine?" Du Heng followed up and asked.How could she not see Lie Xinxi for such a rare medicinal material as Nine Leaves and One Branch Lotus.

"Going back to my master, it's worth 80 taels of silver." Zhang Mujing hesitated for a moment before he said, he is a man of all appearances, how can he not see that the master has taken a fancy to this nine-leaf and one-branched lotus, and the master can take it away, but This will break the rules of the shop, as the shopkeeper, Zhang Mujing knows that he must not break this rule.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, I still need to pick some other medicinal materials, and we will settle the accounts together later." Du Heng said lightly, and then went on to look at the medicinal materials.Zhang Mujing could only answer "Yes", and went forward to put the nine-leaf and one-branch lotus away in a box with his own hands.

After browsing through the three warehouses, Du Heng picked thirty or forty kinds of medicinal materials. The more Zhang Mujing and Dr. Sun looked at them, the more puzzled they became. The medicinal materials selected by the owner did not seem to be prepared according to the prescription, and the owner said little about each medicinal material. You also need to take half a catty. This is not a medicine, it is clearly intended to be eaten as a meal.
