  Chapter 244 Medicine

  Wait, did you buy the medicine I asked you to buy?

  Hearing these words from his young lady, Wang Xiaoer, who was already walking at the door, couldn't help but pause, his face turned slightly pale.

   "What, but forgot?"

  Li Shu put down the brush in her hand, glanced at Wang Xiaoer who was standing at the door with her dark eyes like ink, her red lips slightly curled up, her voice was as calm as water.

   "No, no, the small one has already been bought.

   Li Shu glanced casually, but made Wang Xiaoer at the door sweat a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead. Others didn't know about her own lady's methods, but she knew about them.

It's just that the medicine that the eldest lady asked her to buy was not ordinary medicine. The reason why Wang Xiaoer came back later was because the medicine was not easy to buy, especially the good medicine that had no side effects on the body. The household bought it from the home of a former court lady who was released from the palace. This court lady served a concubine before she was released, and the prescription was obtained in front of this concubine.

   This kind of medicine can only be believed if it is passed down in the palace, after all, it has gone through the test of the harem.

   It’s just that although this medicine has no side effects, it’s blind. That’s why Wang Xiaoer didn’t take the initiative to donate it.

   "Are you clear?" Li Shu asked.

   "I asked clearly, there are no side effects." Wang Xiaoer replied with his head down.

   "Then leave it to Mother Zhao." Li Shu turned the cold jade bracelet on her wrist, and lightly instructed Wang Xiaoer.

   "Well, go down, remember to do more and talk less."

  Watching Wang Xiaoer hand over a delicate porcelain vase to Mother Hua, Li Shu pointedly said something and sent Wang Xiaoer away.

   "Miss, what kind of medicine is this?"

Mother Zhao is an old man of the Li family, she was in the Li family before Li Shu was born, but because she was a servant and a woman, Mother Zhao never had the chance to read and she still does not know a single character, although this porcelain vase There was the name of the medicine on it, but Mother Zhao didn't know what kind of medicine she was holding. After handing over the porcelain vase to Li Shu, Mother Zhao asked curiously.

It is an exquisite blue and white porcelain vase with a red ribbon on it. The name of the medicine is on the ribbon. Li Shu's slender hand was held in the palm of her hand, so she couldn't see clearly.

  Li Shu was playing with the porcelain bottle in her hand, and raised the corners of her mouth when she heard the words, "Peerless medicine, hehe, these doctors are very loud."

"After dinner, ask the chef to make a pot of the herbal medicine that Dad brought back to prevent the wind and cold, and share it with everyone in the house. Oh, for the girl in my room, just send it to the courtyard for me .”

   Li Shu put the delicate blue and white porcelain vase in her hand on the table, and gave instructions to Mother Zhao.

   "Miss is really a living Bodhisattva. With this medicine, we don't have to worry about wind and cold this winter. It's a runny nose and headache. I thank miss on behalf of the people in the courtyard. Miss is really kind."

Zhao's mother was overjoyed when she heard the words. The medicine brought back by the master was bought at a high price, and the effect was very good. Back then, her man had a cold, and it seemed that he was about to die. It was the master who knew about it. A pair of medicine was sent over, but it was not good. After drinking the medicine and sweating, the illness was cured. Now I heard from the young lady that we should boil the anti-cold medicine and distribute it to everyone, that's why Zhao's mother is so happy.

   "Okay, let's go down, you are all the heroes of our Li family, you are good to our Li family." Li Shu waved her hand and smiled sweetly, as if she was very pleased with Zhao's mother's flattery.

  Mother Zhao happily retreated as if she had drunk two taels of wine, and couldn't wait to share the good news with everyone in Li's residence.

   Then, the whole Li family expressed their gratitude to Li Shu.

After Zhao's mother left, Li Shu played with the exquisite blue and white porcelain vase again, then untied the red ribbon with the name of the medicine on the small porcelain vase, walked to a brazier, and threw the red ribbon into the brazier .

  The red ribbon fluttered down into the fire, rolled up in the fire, and then ignited a cluster of green flames.

On the burning ribbon, one could faintly see the word "子", maybe the word "好" was burned first and next to the "女", but it turned into ashes in an instant, and it was impossible to find out. What is the word.

  Li Shu stood quietly in front of the brazier, watched the red ribbon burn to ashes, and then sat down at the table again with her little hands behind her back.

   Not long after, Baozi's little maid, Hua'er, jolted over holding a food box.

   "Miss, this tofu and crucian carp soup is delicious." The little maid of Baozi put the food in the food box on the table, and showed her courtesy to her lady.

   "It's delicious? That's why you ate it secretly?" Li Shu walked up to the little maidservant, stretched out her slender hand and scratched the tip of the maidservant's nose, and teased her cherry lips.

   "No, no, Hua'er didn't steal it." The little maid of Baozi hurriedly shook her head when she heard this.

   "Oh, how do you know that the soup is fragrant if you don't steal it?" Li Shu asked again, curling her cherry lips.

   "Huh?" Baozi's little maid wrinkled her face and thought for a while, then said suddenly, "Miss, you can smell it."

"I just remembered, you're really stupid." Li Shu knocked on the forehead of the little maid, and then said mercifully, "Eating fish can make people smart, I can't finish such a big serving of crucian carp soup, You take a small bowl to make up for it."

   "Miss, I'm not stupid." Baozi's little maid covered her forehead and puffed up her face in grievance.

After dinner, the entire Li Mansion was filled with the smell of traditional Chinese medicine, but every servant of the Li Mansion was grateful to drink the bowl of Chinese herbal medicine that the back kitchen distributed to everyone to prevent wind and cold. Even the bottom of the bowl was completely sipped. This is the medicine that the master bought from an old genius doctor in the south at a high price.

   There are also five medicine bowls in Miss Li's boudoir, which are steaming.

   Li Shu's personal servant girl Baozi and the other three personal servant girls are also in Li Shu's boudoir.

"It's cold and cold, and the Yin Qi is too heavy. It's the most likely to suffer from wind-cold. These are the thickest bowls that I asked the kitchen to keep specially. Those who are waiting by your side, go and drink the medicine, so as not to catch a cold and get sick later."

Li Shu was leaning on the embroidered bed, wearing a purple nightdress, her hair was hanging on her sides, she had already removed her hairpin before going to bed, and she was groomed naturally, with a Hexi smile on her innocent and pretty face, and her watery eyes narrowed slightly .

   "Thank you miss."

Several young maids thanked Li Shu happily. Just now, everyone in the courtyard was drinking traditional Chinese medicine to prevent cold, but there were no them. They thought they had been forgotten. It turned out that the young lady had been thinking about them all the time, so she left them for them. The best bowls of Chinese medicine. Miss is so kind, the little maids are very grateful to Li Shu.

  So moved, several little maids drank the Chinese medicine while it was hot.

  Looking at the little maids who were about to drink it up, Li Shu nodded in satisfaction, and then said to the little maid, "Huaer, bring me the last bowl, and I'll drink it after I finish reading this volume."

  The little maid of Baozi obediently brought the last bowl of soup to Li Shu and put it on the bedside table.

   "Well, you all go down, I don't have to wait on you. After drinking this medicine, it's best to sweat on the bed."

  Li Shu waved her hand and let the little maids go back to their rooms.

  After the little maids left, Li Shu got out of bed and poured the bowl of soup on the table into the potted plants in the room, then went to bed as if nothing had happened and continued to read.

The volume in Li Shu's hand is "The Biography of Cao Cao". The volume I was looking at was the section where Cao Cao killed Lu Boshe by mistake. On this page, the last sentence of Cao Cao's famous saying, "Ning teach me to bear the world, don't call it The world bears me.

   "Let the world live up to the king, but only hope that the king's heart is like mine."

  Li Shu put down "The Biography of Cao Cao" and opened a volume of "Jiangchengzi" with someone's dragon and phoenix dancing between it. She read it several times before turning off the lights and going to sleep.
