The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 206: Entering the Mountains to Collect Herbs (4)
The meditation room where the Yao brothers and sisters rest is naturally different from that of the Tian family.After entering the temple, Mrs. Tian was taken to a small nunnery behind Puji Temple, which is also the property of Puji Temple. There is a vegetable field across from Puji Temple. There are more than a dozen old nuns worshiping Buddha and Bodhisattva inside. , Tian wants to recite scriptures and pray for blessings, so naturally he will be in the nunnery over there.

The master master of Puji Temple invited the Yao brothers and sisters into the meditation room to serve tea.Yao Yanyi explained his purpose of coming: he was ordered to inspect the forest and vegetation here, register and make a book, so that the Ministry of Yu can keep the files for reference.Naturally, the master didn't say anything else, he just asked people to prepare meals and tea, and entertain the guards brought by Wei Zhang and the servants of the Yao family.

Yao Yanyu looked at the rain outside, feeling a little worried.It's already this hour, and it's still raining. Do you want to live in this mountain temple tonight?
Yao Yanyi watched Yao Yanyu's fingers keep tapping on the table, and knew she was anxious, so she said with a smile: "If the rain doesn't stop, we will stay in the temple, don't worry."

"Well, I'll listen to my brother." Yao Yanyu smiled, then turned to look at the rain outside.

Yao Yanyi smiled and asked again: "I know you are impatient and bored at home, so I brought you out specially, why can't you stay here for half a day?"

Yao Yanyu shook her head and said, "No. I think the scenery outside is very beautiful, so it's a pity to just sit here and drink tea."

"Wait until the rain has calmed down before going out. It's not only raining, but the mountain road is also very slippery, so it's not easy to walk."

"Well, brother said yes."

The two brothers and sisters discussed it well, and fell silent again.

Because of Wei Zhang's presence, it's inconvenient to talk about family affairs.The three of them just drank tea in silence.

Fortunately, it was less than a stick of incense. Seeing that the rain was getting lighter, Yao Yanyu said happily, "Second brother, can we go?"

Yao Yanyi smiled and said, "I know you can't wait, let's go."

The verdant mountains and forests have been washed by the rain, and the eyes are green.The mountain rocks are also washed very clean by the rain, and they are bright mountain blue.The air is especially fresh, taking a breath, I feel the fragrance of mountains and forests in my heart and lungs.

It was drizzling and there was no need for an umbrella.Yao Yanyu led the way with the hem of her skirt, walking briskly, pointing to the bushes and other plants beside her, asking Cuiwei and Cuiping to pick this and that, as if everything was a precious medicinal material.

Yao Yanyi followed and reminded: "Slow down! There is moss on this rock, it looks like you slipped!" Seeing Yao Yanyu turning a corner and disappearing into the jungle, Yao Yanyi sighed worriedly again: "This girl, what In the mountains and forests, you will be so disobedient!"

Wei Zhang frowned, took two steps to follow, grabbed Yao Yanyu's wrist, and said in a deep voice, "Slow down."

After Yao Yanyu was startled, she immediately glared at Wei Zhang: "Let go!"

"What are you running for? Want to throw yourself in the mud? Looks good?" Wei Zhang still held her wrist, as if he was catching a bird, and flew away as soon as he let go.

"Let go!" Yao Yanyu struggled, and found that his little strength was not enough in front of General Wei, so he could only stare at him fiercely.

"Hey?" Yao Yanyi followed up, and seeing the two people staring at each other, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What are you doing?"

Wei Zhang smiled indifferently: "It's nothing, Miss Yao almost fell down just now, I helped her up." After speaking, he let go of her wrist, and asked with concern: "Are you all right? Where did you twist it? "

Yao Yanyu held his breath in his throat, gritted his teeth, and hummed, "Thank you, General, for your concern!" After speaking, she waved her hands and left.

Yao Yanyi shook his head helplessly, then looked at Wei Zhang vigilantly, did not speak, and followed quickly by himself.

Wei Zhang twisted his fingers, and the corner of his mouth curved into an unpredictable smile.

Yao Yanyu finally stopped in a bush, panting lightly, looked at the lush plants with large leaves in front of him, and smiled knowingly: "I finally found you!"

"That's it?" Yao Yanyi followed behind Yao Yanyu, looking at the clump of green plants.This seems to be a very common thing, but I don't know what it is called after thinking about it carefully.Because it is so common, no one has ever noticed it.

"This is also called Purple Pearl Grass. Unlike other medicinal materials used to stop bleeding, its roots and leaves can be used as medicine. It can not only stop bleeding, dissipate blood stasis, but also have anti-inflammatory properties. Uh, the anti-inflammatory... is to prevent wound infection and necrosis. "

"Well, I understand." Yao Yanyi nodded, stretched out his hand to pick a leaf, twisted it, and sniffed it under his nose. There was no special smell, and the appearance was too ordinary.Under what name are they harvested and transported to the capital?
"You can't pick the leaves now, you can only pick the roots. The leaves will have the best medicinal properties when they are picked in summer and autumn."

"Roots?" Yao Yanyi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay. Then pick the roots first."

Wei Zhang had followed them a long time ago. After hearing the conversation between the brothers and sisters, he bent down and pulled out a dagger from his boots, dug up a piece of Zizhucao root, brushed off the soil, looked at it, and said: "This kind of root is not the same as Ordinary roots are indistinguishable and easily adulterated."

Yao Yanyu nodded and said, "That's why our people have to pick it themselves. If they buy it, someone will definitely take advantage of it."

"It must be like this at the beginning. There is no room for the slightest omission in the matter of the emperor." Yao Yanyi thought of many possibilities at the beginning, after much deliberation, this matter cannot be separated from Yao Yanyu.

No matter how detailed she described the characteristics of this medicinal material, someone would take the risk of confusing the real with a high interest.When the time comes, I will not be able to argue with a hundred words, and I will definitely put my wealth and life in it.

You must have someone who is loyal and reliable, and have enough time to learn and experience with Yao Yanyu to take on this role.But at present, such a person really does not exist.

Yao Yanyi twirled a piece of root that Wei Zhang handed over, and said: "In the future, I will watch people pick roots myself, sister don't worry."

Yao Yanyu nodded, and replied, "Brother, you can take some roots and try to transplant them. If the trial planting is successful, it will be twice the result with half the effort."

"What my sister said is true." Yao Yanyi already had this intention.

Wei Zhang looked at the soft soil and asked, "That's what the hemostatic grass is like. What about... bugs? Are there any in this kind of soil?"

Yao Yanyu sighed, and said, "It's all about luck. Let everyone spread out and dig, and if you see bugs like bee pupae, show them to me."

"Listen everyone!" Yao Yanyi clapped his hands, called his servants to him, and ordered: "Now let's find a kind of insect that looks like a bee pupa, and dig it in the soil. When we find it, bring it to the second girl." Look. Do you understand?"

Everyone responded: "I understand."

"Let's start, hurry up!" Yao Yanyi gave an order, and everyone dispersed, each with a shovel or something to start digging.
