Chapter 244 Medicine
Wait, did you buy the medicine I asked you to buy?
Hearing what his young lady said, Wang Xiaoer, who was already walking at the door, couldn't help but pause, and his face turned slightly pale.
“What, but you forgot?”
Li Shu put down the brush in her hand, glanced at Wang Xiaoer standing at the door with her dark eyes, and touched her red lips It was slightly raised, and the voice was as calm as water.
"No, no, the little one has already bought it.
Li Shu's casual glance made Wang Xiaoer at the door sweat a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead. Others didn't know about his young lady's tricks, but she knew it. .
It’s just that the medicine that the eldest lady asked me to buy is not an ordinary medicine. The reason why Wang Xiaoer came back later is because this medicine is not easy to buy, especially the good medicine that has no side effects on the body. Medicine, spend a lot of money to get it A family bought it from the house of a former palace maid who was released from the palace. The palace lady served a concubine before she was released. The medicine was obtained from the concubine.
This kind of medicine was only available in the palace. You can only believe what is circulated, after all, it has gone through the turbulent test of the harem.
Although this medicine has no side effects, it is blind after all. That's why Wang Xiaoer did not take the initiative to donate it.
"Have you asked clearly?" Li Shu asked.
“I asked clearly, there are no side effects.” Wang Xiaoer lowered his head and replied.
"Then leave it to Mother Zhao." Li Shu turned the cold jade bracelet on her wrist and told Wang Xiaoer calmly.
"Well, you go down, remember to do more and talk less."
After watching Wang Xiaoer hand a delicate small porcelain vase to Hua's mother, Li Shuyi said pointedly After saying a few words, Wang Xiaoer was sent out.
"Miss, what kind of medicine is this?"
Mother Zhao is an old person of the Li family. She has been in the Li family before Li Shu was born. However, because she is a servant and a woman, Mother Zhao has always been She didn’t have the chance to read, and she still can’t read a word. Although the porcelain bottle had the name of the medicine on it, Mother Zhao didn’t know what kind of medicine she had in her hand. After handing the porcelain vase to Li Shu, Zhao's mother asked curiously.
This is a delicate blue and white porcelain bottle with a red ribbon on it. The name of the medicine is on the ribbon. However, due to the angle, only the word "Jue" can be seen on the ribbon. , the rest of the words were held in the palm of Li Shu's delicate hand and could not be seen clearly.
Li Shu played with the porcelain bottle in her hand, and raised the corner of her mouth when she heard the words, "It's a wonderful medicine, geez, these doctors have quite loud voices."
"After dinner, let the cook Make a pot of the herbal medicine that dad brought back to prevent wind and cold, and distribute it to everyone in the house. Oh, and for the sake of the girls in my room, send it directly to me in the courtyard. "

Li Shu put the delicate blue and white porcelain vase on the table and gave instructions to Mother Zhao.
"Miss is really a living Buddha. With this medicine, we no longer have to worry about the cold, runny nose and headache this winter. I would like to thank Miss on behalf of the people in the hospital. Miss is really Kind-hearted.”
Mother Zhao heard this. Her face was full of joy. The medicines that the master brought back were all bought at a high price, and they were very effective. Back then, her husband had caught a cold and was about to die. It was because the master found out that he had someone give him a pair of medicines. I came here, but it was not good. I drank the medicine and sweated, and my illness was cured. Now I heard from the young lady that the medicine to prevent and treat cold should be boiled and distributed to everyone, so Mother Zhao was so happy.
"Okay, let's go down. You are all the heroes of our Li family. We, the Li family, are good to you." Li Shu waved her hand and smiled brightly, as if she was very pleased with the flattery of Mother Zhao. Similar.
Mama Zhao left happily as if she had drunk a few ounces of wine, and couldn’t wait to share the good news with everyone in the Li family.
Then, everyone in the Li family expressed gratitude towards Li Shu.
After Zhao’s mother left, Li Shu played with the delicate blue and white porcelain vase again, then untied the red ribbon with the name of the medicine on the vase, walked to a brazier, and put the red The ribbon was thrown into the brazier.
The red ribbon fluttered into the fire, rolled up in the fire, and then ignited a cluster of green flames.
On the burning ribbon, you can vaguely see the word "子". Maybe the word "好" was burned first, and maybe next to "女", but it was done in an instant. There are ashes, and it is impossible to find out what the word is.
Li Shu stood quietly in front of the fire pot, watching the red ribbon burn to ashes, and then sat down at the table again with her little hands behind her back.
Not long after, Hua'er, Baozi's little maid, came jolting 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 young lady.
"It smells delicious? Did you eat it secretly?" Li Shu walked up to the little maid Baozi, stretched out her delicate hand and scratched the tip of the little maid Baozi's nose, raising her cherry lips and jokingly said .
"No, no, Hua'er didn't eat it secretly." Hearing this, the little maid Baozi shook her head hurriedly.
"Oh, how do you know the soup is delicious without eating it secretly?" Li Shu asked again, curling her lips.
"Ah?" The little maid Baozi wrinkled her face and thought for a while, then said suddenly, "Miss, you can smell it."
"I just remembered that you are really stupid." Li Shu Knocked the little maid Baozi on the forehead, and then Then he said compassionately, "Eating fish can make you smart. I can't finish such a large portion of crucian carp soup. You can get a small bowl to make up for it."
"Miss, I'm not stupid. ." The little maid Baozi covered her forehead with a sullen face.
After dinner, the entire Li Mansion was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine, but every servant in the Li Mansion gratefully drank the bowl of Chinese herbal medicine that the kitchen distributed to everyone to drink to prevent wind and cold. Everything was clean, even the bottom of the bowl was slurped clean. This is the medicine that the master bought at a high price from an old miracle doctor in the south.
There are also five medicine bowls placed in the boudoir of the eldest lady of the Li family, which are steaming.
Li Shu's personal maid, Baozi, and three other personal maids were also in Li Shu's boudoir.
“It’s cold and the ground is freezing, and the yin energy is too heavy, so you are most likely to suffer from wind and cold. These are the richest bowls that I asked the chef to keep specially. They are best for dispelling wind and cold, and clearing the lungs. .You are all young ladies who are waiting by my side. Go and drink the medicine so that you don’t get it later. The wind and cold have passed and the illness has passed."
Li Shu was leaning on the embroidered bed, wearing a purple nightgown, her hair hanging on both sides. She had removed her hairpins before going to bed, and she had a pure and pretty face. With a Hexi smile, her watery eyes narrowed slightly.
"Thank you, miss."
The little maids happily thanked Li Shu. Just now, everyone in the courtyard was drinking Chinese medicine to prevent colds, but they were the only ones who didn't have them. I forgot, it turns out that the young lady has been thinking about them, and even left some of the best bowls of Chinese medicine for them. The lady 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.
Li Shu looked at the few maids who were about to drink them all, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the little maid Baozi, "Hua'er, bring me the last bowl, and wait until I finish reading this volume. I drank it too.”
The little maid Baozi obediently brought the last bowl of soup to Li Shu and placed it on the bedside table.
"Well, you all go down, I don't have to wait for you anymore. After drinking this medicine, it's best to sweat in bed."
Li Shu waved her hand and asked a few children to The maids went back to their rooms.
After all the maids left, Li Shu got out of bed and poured a bowl of soup from the table into a potted plant in the room, then went to bed and continued reading as if nothing had happened.
The book in Li Shu's hand was "The Biography of Cao Cao". The volume she was looking at was the section about Cao Cao accidentally killing Lu Boshe. The last sentence on this page was Cao Cao's famous saying, "Nice teach me." If I betray the people of the world, I will not let the people of the world betray me.
"Even if I have failed the world, I will not fail you. I only hope that your heart will be like my heart."
Li Shu put down "The Biography of Cao Cao" and opened a volume of "Jiangchengzi" with someone's dragon and phoenix dancing between them. She read it several times before turning off the lights and going to sleep. (End of this chapter)
