"Have you been eating Bizi Soup for a long time?"
Xia Jing'er looked confused, how could this be possible? She was conditioning her body just to conceive a child, so how could she drink Bizi Soup?
"Go back and check the people around you. Your soup has been changed."
"If necessary, I can help you make another prescription."
Xia Jing'er forced a smile and said hello. After Lian Suisui finished prescribing, she took out the medicine.
I watched and took the medicine myself.
"Auntie, please help me hold it for you..."
Niyun was about to take her medicine bag. Xia Jing'er originally wanted to hand it to her, but thinking of Lian Suisui's words, she suddenly changed her mind.
"No, I'll take it myself, Niyun, I'm a little hungry. Go outside and see if there are any ice bean cakes and buy some for me."
Niyun looked at her suspiciously and said yes.
"Auntie, please wait here. I will come as soon as you go."
When Niyun walked out of the drugstore, Xia Jing'er turned back.
"Cousin, what medicinal ingredients are in the Bizi soup? Can you let me identify them?"
This is not difficult, but is it necessary to deliberately keep the maids around you away?
Lian Suisui directed Qian Hao to take her to identify the medicinal materials.
Everything is sold on West Main Street. In this season, there are many ice bean cake sellers on the street, and the neon clouds quickly turn back.
"Auntie, I bought the iced bean cake you asked for."
Xia Jing'er hummed, said hello to Lian Suisui, and went out to get on the carriage.
Now that he has come to Miaoshou Hall, Lian Suisui plans to settle the score for a while.
Xiao Tao came over and said mysteriously: "Miss, I look at my cousin a little strangely."
Lian Suisui was not used to using an abacus, so he used charcoal pens to write and draw on paper.
"Not bad, you can tell something is wrong. Tell me what you think is wrong?"
Xiao Tao thought for a moment and then said: "Miss, why do you feel that my cousin is so afraid of the maid next to me? Logically speaking, she is the master, but I always feel that the maid next to her has fierce eyes and is wary."
When she said this, even Suisui felt something was wrong.
"Other people's affairs have nothing to do with us."
"I know this. The young lady said, do more and talk less. I will help the fourth lady pick up medicinal materials!"
The weather was nice. Lian Xiaoxiao dried a lot of medicinal materials in the yard. The children rescued from Yishan Hall were very well-behaved and followed Lian Xiaoxiao to help her do things. It was a peaceful time.
But for some reason, Lian Suisui always felt like something was about to happen.
"Third sister, I made sour plum soup. Do you want a bowl?"
Lian Xiaoxiao came out with a tray, handed a bowl to Lian Suisui, and gave the rest to Doctor Qian and Doctor Wu.
There were few patients in the afternoon. Dr. Qian was lying on the recliner with his eyes closed, while Dr. Wu was tending to a few pots of flowers and plants.
Even Suisui recognized that those flowers and plants were extremely hard-to-find medicinal materials and also poisons.
Doctor Wu is good at using poison. Is there anyone in the capital who is better at using poison than him?
An idea suddenly popped into Lian Suisui's mind.
"Doctor Wu, drink sour plum soup."
Lian Xiaoxiao put the sour plum soup on the table behind him and tilted his head to look at the flowers and plants he was tending.
"Why are there flowers of this color? I've never seen it..."
The purple-black petals were very afraid of light. Lian Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand to touch it, but Doctor Wu held his wrist.
"This flower is poisonous, so don't come near it."
Lian Xiao made a small sound and quickly retracted his hand.
"Have you finished memorizing "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions"?"
When Lian Xiaoxiao wanted to get started, she had to memorize prescriptions. Doctor Wu didn't have high requirements for her, and she had to memorize ten prescriptions a day.
She nodded and said: "Come on, I memorize fifteen prescriptions every day, and I still have ten pages to go before I finish memorizing them. I'll recite them to you!"
Lian Xiao memorized three or four prescriptions in one breath, and Doctor Qian suddenly spoke with his eyes closed.
"Qian Hao, what are you doing? Listen to the prescriptions that the fourth lady memorized, and look at you. In a few days, the fourth lady's medical skills will surpass yours. If you don't work hard, my reputation will be ruined by you. …”
Qian Hao, who was lying behind the counter, sighed sadly and memorized the recipe.
"Master, as long as I'm here, it's impossible for our Miaoshou Hall to lose money. Don't worry about it. It's important to rest more."
Lian Suisui was so busy all day long that Doctor Qian teased her and wanted her to have a good rest.
People in the Jianghu have no concept of money, and it doesn't matter whether they gain or lose. What's more, he is a doctor with superb medical skills. He just wants a place to stay.
Liansui closed the account book.
"I happened to have nothing to do, so I looked through it. It's not that I don't believe what you and Doctor Wu mean."
She was afraid that Doctor Qian would think too much.
"It's okay. I won't misunderstand what the princess means. I'm tired in spring and autumn. In this season, it's time to lie down and sleep more to maintain your health..."
What he said made Lian Suisui feel a little sleepy.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back home first."
"Third sister, I'll go back with you!"
"My aunt's birthday is tomorrow. I want to buy her two pieces of jewelry."
Lian Xiaoxiao said sheepishly, "My aunt is frugal and she has spent all the money she has saved over the years to buy jewelry for me. I wear a plain hairpin all day long. Third sister, I want to buy my aunt a gold hairpin." "
She came to Miaoshou Tang to help. Lian Suisui asked Ning Er to calculate her wages. At first, Lian Xiaoxiao was unwilling to take it. Later, Ning Er persuaded her, saying that it was what she deserved. Qian Hao, a little kid, was still getting wages. Xiaowei and the rest of them were all paid wages as long as they worked and could not be treated differently, so she was willing to take wages.
During this period, she saved a lot of money and was finally able to buy jewelry for her aunt by her own ability. Lian Xiao was very excited.
"Third sister, do you know where the gold jewelry is cheap and beautiful?"
The price of gold is transparent. The difference between gold hairpins is the craftsmanship fee charged by the master. The more refined ones are naturally more expensive.
"I'll take you somewhere!"
Lian Suisui took her to find a gold shop that made jewelry. The gold shop was on West Street. It was small in scale and had only a small door. The cabinets displayed wooden jewelry styles. They could be customized or processed on site.
"One tael of gold and ten taels of silver. To make a hairpin, you need at least one or two taels of gold, which is twelve taels of silver. There is no craft fee for using the gold here. You can use the gold to process it yourself, and there will be a processing fee of one tael of silver. !”
"The gold I have here is all pure gold. You can inspect the goods first."
The crafting fee alone costs one or two silver!
Usually customers who come to order gold hairpins use gold from gold shops. Lian Xiaoxiao picked a piece of gold and put it to her mouth embarrassedly and bit it. She didn’t use much effort, leaving only a small piece of gold on the gold. Teeth marks.
The purer the gold, the softer it is, but the gold used for hairpins should not be too soft, otherwise it will easily deform.
"Just this one!"
The shopkeeper of the gold shop was wearing a washed cotton gown that turned white. He took it and weighed it with his nickname.
"It's exactly 2 taels to the dollar. There is wear and tear on the hairpin. Let's count it as 2 taels. What style is it?"
There were many styles on the shelves, and Lian Xiaoxiao chose a hairpin in the shape of a pomegranate flower.
"Auntie likes pomegranate flowers, so just wear that style."
The tools for making hairpins were placed outside. The shopkeeper asked them to sit down and started to make hairpins.
Lian Xiaoxiao and the maid Ye'er stared at the shopkeeper's movements. Lian Suisui yawned and watched the people coming and going outside the door.
A magnificent carriage passed by the door, and after a while, the carriage backed up again.
King Yun jumped off the carriage, looked up at the gold shop's sign, and walked in waving his fan.
"What a coincidence, I met the emperor's aunt here."
