Bianjing little doctor

Chapter 123 Concocting and lackeys

Xin Yi was a little surprised.

When they first met, she was only moved by Mrs. An's motherly love to protect her daughter regardless of her life, and it was because of her temperament that she rescued her, but she did not expect that Mrs. An knew some medical skills.

Xin Yi was overjoyed.

"If that's the case, then it's a good thing."

After a pause, she took a look at the thin clothes of the little daughter led by Mrs. An, her little face was black and blue from the cold, she looked pitiful, and hurriedly asked her lover to take her to the back hall to warm up first, and then took out the remaining test papers One, hand it to Mrs. An.

"You can try it too. I treat everyone equally."

Lady An's face was astringent, "I don't know how to write."

Xin Yi was slightly startled, "No?"

Mrs. An nodded, her eyes lowered, "I just worked as a helper in the medicine hall since I was a child, and I know some medicine, but I am blind, I can't read a few words, and I can't write."

Xin Yi: ...

Madam An pleaded, "I really had nowhere to go, so I was instructed to come to seek refuge... Madam, if you don't believe me, why don't you test me?"

Xin Yi asked her to sit down and thought about it, "What do you mainly do at your uncle's house?"

Mrs. An: "Concoct medicinal materials."

Xin Yi smiled, and looked at her for a moment, "Then I will test you. If you want to use the pomegranate root bark as medicine, what should you do?"

Mrs. An thought for a while, and said softly: "Dig in autumn, soak in pulp water for one night, and then use it. The skin is intact and the color is yellow. But the pomegranate root is extremely avoiding iron, so you can't dig it with iron tools."

Xin Yi: "So what about Bai Qian's concoction?"

Mrs. An said: "Wash Baiqian, cut into sections, and dry in the shade, then you can use it. You can also soak it in raw licorice water for a day and night, then filter it out and use it, remove the fibrous roots, and dry it as medicine. However, raw Baiqian has a pungent taste. It is easy to cause stomach discomfort. It is most suitable to be refined with honey."

Seeing her fluent answers, Xin Yi couldn't help being overjoyed.

This Mrs. An, who can't read and write, is actually a master craftsman?

Especially like whitening with honey, this method is not commonly used by people at that time, but it is highly praised in modern research.

Although this may be the original setting of the plan, Xin Yi still likes it very much.

She got up and waved to Mrs. An, motioning for her to follow her to the medicine cabinet, and opened a drawer randomly.

"What kind of medicine is this?"

"Panchotomy."

"what about this?"

"rhubarb."

"This……"

"Dendrobium."

"..."

"Purple grass."

"..."

"aconite."

One pulls the drawer and one declares the name of the medicine, all of them are correct.

The smile on Xin Yi's face was even wider, and she asked her some related pharmacology, and she answered fluently.

It's just that Mrs. An is relatively unfamiliar with the aspects of asking a doctor, prescribing prescriptions, and taking the pulse to see a doctor.

Although she doesn't know a single word, her understanding of medicinal materials is better than ordinary people. She really grew up in a medicine hall.

Perhaps it was the same life experience that made Xin Yi feel more fond of Mrs. An. He closed the drawer and smiled at her.

"From now on, you will be the manager of medicinal materials in Xinyifang, right?"

"Medical material manager?"

Mrs. An was shocked, as if she never expected to be reused by Xin Yi, she stammered.

"No, no, me, what can I do?"

"Of course you can."

Seeing that she was nervous and flustered, Xin Yi pursed her lips.

"From now on, you and Xiao Zhen'er will live with us in the workshop, but the place is not big, I'm afraid I have to bother you two to huddle together in the utility room, do you know what to do?"

Mrs. An was overjoyed, "Yes, yes. Our mother and I can sleep on the floor."

"Then it's settled like this. As for the monthly salary, I can only give you five hundred cash right now, and I will take care of the food and lodging of you two. When the business gets better in the future, I will raise the salary according to the situation. What do you think?"

Xin Yi has already calculated the purchasing power of [-] Wen. It is certainly not high in terms of the supervisor level in the pharmacy in Bianjing City, but it is not unkind.

"Too much, little lady, this is already too much." With tears in her eyes, Mrs. An told the truth, "When I came here, I just wanted a place to stay..."

Xin Yi frowned suddenly when he heard this.

"By the way. Just now you said that you were instructed to join me?"

Mrs. Ann nodded.

Xin Yi asked, "Who is it?"

Mrs. An said: "Eunuch Sun of the Imperial City Division. I was separated from my little lady on the boat that day, and was brought back to the Imperial City Division by the King of Guangling County. When I testified, I confessed my family background. Eunuch Sun learned about my natal family. Far away, there is no one else, and there is nowhere to go with a girl, but I have just learned about medicine, so I came here..."

Xin Yi let out an oh and nodded.

"Eunuch Sun is a kind-hearted person."

Lady An opened her mouth, "The Prince of Guangling also..."

When she said this, the conversation stopped suddenly.

Xin Yi asked suspiciously: "What happened to the King of Guangling?"

Mrs. An seemed worried, she shook her head with a worried face, and smiled bitterly, "It's nothing. The King of Guangling County didn't make things difficult for me either. These few days in the Imperial City Division are the most comfortable days for our mothers in recent years. It’s been a good year.”

Xin Yi smiled and nodded, without saying anything, he asked his husband to come over and take the two of them down to resettle.

Only then did she learn that Mrs. An's boudoir name was only one character Jin, and her daughter followed her surname, named An Zhen'er.

Jin, Meiyu also.Xin Yi felt that the name An Jin was not chosen casually, but Zhen'er seemed casual.

She didn't know what this Mrs. An had gone through, but since she didn't tell, Xin Yi didn't ask.

It turned out that most of the clerks in the Sun family drugstore were recruited by Dong Dahai. Xin Yi felt awkward, and after the exam was over, he left two mock samples, and the ones who scored high in the answer sheet were paid some money for the rest. dismissed.

She doesn't plan to do it all at once. With the current scale, these people are enough, and the labor cost can no longer be spread.

"Sister." When Xiang Ling came in, Xin Yi was bending over to take out the damp wood incense from the cabinet.

Hearing this, she said, "What's the matter?"

Xiang Ling twisted her handkerchief, but did not make a sound.

Sensing her emotions, Xin Yi turned around: "What's wrong? Are you in trouble?"

Xiang Ling bit her lower lip, "It's not that I'm in trouble, it's Wen Zi."

Xin Yi groaned, stood up slowly, and put Mu Xiang on the counter, "What's wrong with Wen Zi?"

Xiang Ling seemed a little embarrassed to say, "She asked us if there were any more people in the store..."

Having said that, before Xin Yi could answer, she lowered her head.

"My beloved and I don't understand medicine. We're just idlers, and Wen Zi doesn't even know it... I know my sister is in trouble, so it's fine if you don't agree to me..."

Xin Yi laughed.

"I didn't even say anything, so you just finished it for me. Tell me, what's the matter with Wen Zi? Isn't she a good helper in the Xiangyao shop? Why do you suddenly want to change jobs?"

On the day they moved, Wen Zi even came to help.

However, there seemed to be a lot of things going on in the Xiangyao shop. Although they lived very close together, Wen Zi rarely came to look for Xiang Ling.

Xin Yi thought that Wen Zi thought that money was too little and things were too much, but he didn't expect that the answer was for the girl's affection.

Wen Zi fell in love with Du Zhongqing, the shopkeeper of the Xiangyao shop. She got along day and night, and her heart was like a deer. ?

But she couldn't just quit her job and leave. She was afraid that her stepfather would beat her up, so she wanted to find a job in a pharmacy instead to earn some wages. If she didn't meet Du Zhongqing, she wouldn't be disgusted by her family.

Xin Yi thought for a moment, "Our store is still short of manpower, but what's the point of us being so close to Du Shixiang Pharmacy? You can ask her clearly."

Xiang Ling nodded frequently, and went straight to Wen Zi to talk.

At noon, Zheng Liu, the bodyguard next to Cao Yi, came and brought Cao Yi's words, saying that in the evening, someone would be sent to pick her up to the house, and to give her family a safe pulse.

Xin Yi knew that it was Empress Cao who was going to leave the palace, so she agreed and dismissed Zheng Liu. In the afternoon, she and the guys dug out the medicinal materials and dried them in the sun.

After working until evening, she went back to the house to take a shower and change clothes, then sat at the door and had refreshments while waiting for the people from the Cao Mansion to pick her up.

Unexpectedly, the people from the palace came before Cao's mansion.

A small sedan chair with green curtains was parked outside the door of Xinyifang. The servant's voice was soft, with deep dissatisfaction in his tone, "Is Mrs. Zhang free now?"

When Xin Yi saw this man, he suddenly felt that the orange cake in his hand was not delicious.

"I don't know why my father-in-law is looking for me?"

Seeing that she asked the question knowingly, the servant let out a soft snort.

"Our lady has been ill for a long time, and I want to invite Mrs. Zhang to consult a doctor. But Mrs. Zhang is really more difficult to invite than the imperial doctor. After a while, someone dies at home and then moves to open a pharmacy. She is busier than the nobles... I don’t know if I will invite you today. Need to move you?"

Xin Yi didn't like to hear such sour words.

But even if the other party is a bullying dog, it is Zhang Guifei's dog.

Beating a dog depends on the owner.Therefore, Xin Yi smiled when he answered.

"Don't dare to hide this from my father-in-law, I had an appointment today, and I really don't have time to see you..."

"What?" Before Xin Yi could finish speaking, the servant almost jumped in anger, pointed at her face and asked, "You little brat, you are looking for death for neglecting our wife so much?"
