Princess Fuyao

Chapter 78
"That's right, overseas only pays less than a hundred catties of tribute to the royal family every year, and the emperor sends all of it to the front line, which is specially used for the wounded soldiers." Marshal He felt very guilty, "But now, I take less than a hundred catties a year. It all depends on...cough cough..., I bought it from overseas with a lot of money, and now, my efforts for the royal family are not enough to consume."

"Marshal, don't say that. The emperor has already said it. It's nothing to spend that little money. As long as you are alive, the frontier soldiers will have the backbone." Master Fang said again.

"That was before. Now that Cheng Bo has gone, Northern Xinjiang must be more stable under his rule. I am a dying person, so I can only use my last breath to do something for the emperor."

Marshal He looked haggard, shoulders shrugged, the blush faded away, now his face was skinny and sallow, with prominent cheekbones and sunken eye sockets, Fuyao felt fearful when he saw it: "The emperor should let you take care of yourself." Self-cultivation, don't do things first."

"That's what the emperor means. I want to do my best for the emperor. This is what I have to do. The emperor specially bestowed Doctor Jin to treat me. This is a doctor who specializes in his diagnosis. I'm so grateful, congratulations." Somebody can't afford it."

Fuyao winked and asked Marshal He to pay Master Fang.She just slid her eyes to the side and snarled towards the door. Marshal He understood it, turned his head and said, "Fang Dewei, go to the door and see if General Ji's men are here? Bring them in to see me."

Master Fang was very reluctant, but there was nothing he could do. Seeing his figure at the flower bed, Fuyao said in a low voice: "Marshal, I know that your illness can be cured, and you shouldn't say that."

"Really?" Marshal He trembled with excitement, "Emperor Physician Jin also said the same thing. For a while, I tried to distract Fang Dewei, and you and Imperial Physician Jin felt my pulse together."

"I——, yes!" Fu Yao swallowed the words that he was not a doctor. It seemed that Marshal He had doubts about his illness.

Fang Dewei brought back Han Chen, Huang He, and Cheng Kerang outside the yamen, walked back angrily, and heard Fuyao's crisp voice telling Marshal He how delicious and cheap the big plate chicken was.

"Marshal, the food at Jixiangzhuang is delicious. I'll treat you tonight!"

"Hehehe, how can this work? My salary is much higher than yours, so let me pay for it. Call all of you and count it as my meeting gift for everyone."

"Oh, that's not going to work. I'll come to Jixiangzhuang. It's my celebration of being promoted to the sixth rank. If you want to invite Marshal, how can Jixiangzhuang be upscale? At least it's not Yafulou."...

"Just know how to eat!" "Food!" "I'm going to kill you!" Master Fang led a few people to stand outside the house and waited. In Beijiang, Marshal He often neglected him so much, but he still couldn't compete with Fuyao, who he met on the first day, Fang Dewei felt very jealous.

Hearing Marshal He call to come in, Fang Dewei beckoned the people behind him to go in. Marshal He's sickly image made several young people murmur, but he talked to everyone kindly, occasionally with a witty laugh, and soon got the Everyone's support.

"In the evening, I'll invite everyone to have dinner at Jixiangzhuang, and greet Marshal He." Seeing the warm atmosphere, Fuyao announced happily.

"Let me invite you. General Ji said that Ya Fu Lou is good, so let's go to Ya Fu Lou."

"Hahaha, okay!" Cheng Kerang finished speaking loudly, and was a little embarrassed to see several partners staring at him.

Marshal He stood up very happily, walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Good boy, you have the spirit from northern Xinjiang!"

When several people heard that Marshal He likes to be forthright, they immediately let go.

At the banquet in the evening, Master Fang followed Marshal He lingeringly, Fuyao was upset, but there was no expression on his face.Cheng Ke told them not to have much contact with Mr. Fang, and was very polite to him. Marshal He sat up, and they asked Mr. Fang to sit down, but the old guy went over and sat down with a shy face.

Marshal He has already quietly told Fu Yao that Master Fang can't hold alcohol, and he usually doesn't drink alcohol on his lips.

The restaurant first served four appetizers: duck intestines, duck necks, duck throats and duck webs.They are all Fuyao's favourites. These dishes are best paired with cold beer, and white wine, especially when the weather has entered early summer. The spicy and spicy taste is enough when combined with white wine. Fortunately, at this time Liquor, with a very low alcohol content, is just on the same level as beer.

Ya Fu Lou's baijiu has been re-distilled by Fuyao, and the degree is slightly higher than that of the outside. The liquor is clear and not as cloudy as the outside.Food production in this era is very difficult, and the wine is mostly fruit wine, which is low in alcohol and has a fruity aroma, which Fuyao likes very much.

Master Fang has long heard that Ya Fu Lou's wine is different, he is very hesitant at this moment, he really wants to taste it, but he is afraid that he will get too drunk.

The fine porcelain wine bowls that several young people were holding, and the cup that Marshal He used because he was not in good health, everyone drank a few times in a row, only Fuyao blushed, and the others did not respond at all.

Master Fang couldn't help it, so he picked up the cup quietly and took a sip. It was slightly sour and sweet, with a strong fruity aroma, warming his stomach after drinking it, so he couldn't help but take another sip.

"Master Fang, we respect you!"

Cheng Kerang held the wine bowl in both hands, and handed it to Master Fang respectfully: "From now on, we will be with you and follow Marshal He. You are a senior, please give me more advice!"

Han Chen and Huang He also raised their wine bowls respectfully.

Seeing the respectful expressions of the three boys with big arms and round waists, Master Fang looked at Marshal He nervously, hoping to help him say something and block it, but Marshal He seemed to like duck throat very much, and the spicyness made him sweat on his forehead. It seems that he can't get over it, how can he care about what he is doing?
If Master Fang refuses today's toast, he will offend someone.

He and Fuyao didn't like each other at the first meeting. If they broke up with Han Chen and the others again, the consequences would be disastrous. He thought about it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and got up, took the wine bowl from Cheng Kerang's hand, and imitated the young man Looking like a human, he raised his neck and dried up.Master Fang proudly turned the wine bowl over to show his sincerity. Before everyone could praise him, he swayed, sat down on the chair, and then slid down the table legs to the ground.

"Master Fang!" "Master Fang!" Huang He and Cheng Kerang helped Master Fang up, seeing that he was completely drunk, his whole body was boneless, snoring with his head tilted, so they had to let him sleep on a low couch in the corner superior.

"The alcohol capacity is so small." Cheng Kerang muttered.

Seeing Master Fang's appearance just now, Fuyao was not pretending at all, so he turned his head and ordered: "Cheng Kerang and I, go with General He, Huang He, Han Chen, you two are here to take care of Master, if he wakes up When asked about us, he said that the marshal was very tired and went to the guest room to rest."

"Yes!"

Physician Jin had asked Fuyao to pick him up quietly, and was waiting in the shopkeeper's office on the first floor. Fuyao and Marshal He went in, Cheng Kerang covered his face with a hat, put his feet on the stool, leaned back on the armchair and pretended to be asleep, but his eyes Beneath the brim of his hat, staring at the door.

Physician Jin took Marshal He's pulse carefully again, and then said worriedly: "I have checked the notes left by the imperial physician of the previous court for the past two days, and your pulse is exactly the same as that of taking drugs." He held a pan Huang's manuscript, carefully turned to the last page, Fuyao took the book and looked at the light.

Marshal He looked nervously at Physician Jin, but the old man twitched his beard and pondered: "The diary didn't write how to treat it, so it didn't say at all that Afulong is harmful to the body. Does the Marshal have other diseases in his body? Suppressed, can't we find out the pulse?"

"No." Fuyao said, "Afuran is extremely harmful to people's health, and after becoming addicted, people's needs will increase. The more they take, the worse their health will be. The national strength of the previous dynasty declined, Even the royal family did not have so many tributes. After the former crown prince was captured, he never had the opportunity to take it again. Of course, there was no way to prove that Furong was harmful. On the contrary, he became ill because he could not take it. Good things nourish the human body like ginseng."

Marshal He and Imperial Physician Jin looked at Fuyao in surprise.

Fuyao avoided talking about how he knew this, and continued on his own: "This drug is like smoking, which becomes addictive after a long time. People who have smoked for a long time will cough continuously and are prone to tuberculosis in old age. It can be seen that this effect All addictions are harmful."

Physician Jin did not speak. As a doctor, how can he easily convince a child who does not understand medical principles at all, so he continued: "No, let's try. For a period of three months, the marshal will gradually reduce the amount of medicine he takes until You don’t need to take food at all, how about you take care of his body every day?”

Marshal He didn't know why his body was getting worse and worse, and the doctor couldn't tell the cause. It was said by a wandering doctor three years ago, who went to the north to search for medicinal materials, came to the military camp unintentionally, and diagnosed his pulse.

"Marshal's health is fine. You don't need to take medicine every day. You must know that the medicine is three-point poisonous. People who are not sick will get sick after taking it for a long time."

After hearing what he said, Marshal He tried to stop taking the medicine, but the doctor was terrified by his appearance of falling ill. He didn't dare to say those words anymore, and finally found an opportunity to sneak away.

Now Fuyao raised this question again, and she looked very sure, which made Marshal He think again: "The medicine is three-point poisonous, I'd better find a way to stop the medicine."
