Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 24 Unexpected encounter

Lin Qingran's illness came on fiercely, and after the fever subsided, he had headache, cough, hoarseness, and wind-cold symptoms. After drinking the decoction for several days, Lin Qingran lost her temper after tossing her nose. The sick second sister opened her mouth so hoarsely that she couldn't bear it.

Lin Qingyan was really happy without sympathy, and finally pinched her red nose, "I'm sick now."

"Second sister, you are so sympathetic." Her nose was pinched and blocked again. Lin Qingran took a breath and hummed, "It's my fault that I miss you so much."

"Well, you girl always says you miss everyone when you meet, but I never heard you say that you don't miss anyone. It's all good words." Lin Qingyan poked her, Lin Qingran smiled and sniffed again.

"Stop by big sister's in the afternoon." Lin Qingyan tucked in the quilt for her, "I didn't stop when I came out."

Lin Qingran looked at her, and she became her own child, but within two years, she had already faintly acted like a housewife. In a different environment, she had to temper a person, which was actually very fast.

Lin Qingyan babbled on, seeing that she didn't listen, she patted her forehead, "You girl, I'm talking to you."

"Second Sister, why do you sound like a mother now." Lin Qingran touched her forehead and protested.

Lin Qingyan was overjoyed, and sat back, "Why do I look like a mother, it's just that you don't listen carefully."

Lin Qingran took her hand coquettishly, "Don't talk about this, second sister, I have something to ask you for help, my mother promised me to take care of a shop, I want to renovate that shop and sell some other things. , but I don't have anyone here to do business, Second Sister, you can find a quicker person outside for me."

When Lin Qingyan was 12 years old, the Lu family also asked her to manage the shop to train her how to run the house, so she was not surprised when Lin Qingran said this, "there is no shopkeeper in the shop, so why are you looking for someone?"

"The shop my mother gave me is a cloth store on West Street. I still need someone who can sell goods everywhere, preferably someone who is more transparent about the north-south goods."

"Your requirements are quite high." Lin Qingyan laughed at her, "When you first started managing the shop, you wanted to start a big business. You didn't make any money, and you wanted to change it for something else."

"Second sister, just help me take a look, there is such a person, I can trust it." Lin Qingran can't go out often, and the maids around her can't do these things for her.

As soon as the words fell to the forehead, she received another slap on the forehead, "You are not small, and you still need to find such a capable person."

Lin Qingran looked at her pitifully, "Second sister, you are in charge of the Jin family, and you must have a wider network than me. If you don't help me, where can I find someone?"

After all, Lin Qingyan said that she really cared for her younger sisters. Seeing that her poor tears were about to fall, she laughed, "Okay, I'll look for it for you."

It will be five days before Lin Qingran fully recovers.

Wei Ming came to see her, and went to the outer room to prescribe a supplement. Lin Qingran hurriedly asked Si Qin to go to the study to bring over the medical books, as well as the notes she made when she read them on weekdays.

Wei Ming raised his head to look at her, Lin Qingran called Uncle Wei with a smile, Wei Ming's hand that wrote the prescription couldn't help shaking, every time the girl called him that, it was all bad.

"Uncle Wei, isn't the Wei family a family of medicine? You have entered the palace to be an imperial physician. Now the Wei family still operates a medical clinic, right?" She knew all about the medical clinic opened by Wei's family outside the capital city.

"Girl, what do you want to do." Wei Ming put down his pen and looked at her amusedly.

Lin Qingran stopped beating around the bush, and opened her notes, all of which contained prescriptions for typhoid fever. Lin Qingran only realized the profoundness of traditional Chinese medicine after reading a few thick medical books. Those few medical books She only understood part of it.

There are many kinds of prescriptions for typhoid fever alone. Usually, when diagnosing the pulse, the medicine is prescribed according to the patient's physical condition. The medicines for cold symptoms and fever symptoms are different, and these cannot be mistaken.

After Lin Qingran took two books from Uncle Wei back then, she has borrowed a lot of books one after another over the years. There are many thick notebooks like this. At the beginning, she worked so hard to read them because she didn't want to drink those books. Chinese medicine, but after seeing it, she found that these things are not as simple as she thought, and it is not like taking out a box of Ganmaoqing in modern western medicine to take a headache, fever, cold and runny nose.

"Uncle Wei, you are a doctor, and you know best how to combine medicinal materials to have a good effect. What I want to know is whether these medicines can be made into pills for patients to take."

"Then the effect of this medicine will not be good." Wei Ming shook his head, "There are also made pills in the medical hall, and how many pills are needed to match the effect of the last bowl of medicine. It will be fine in a day, but the pill will take ten and a half months, compared to taking medicine, can you bear this discomfort?"

"Then what if it's not the medicine to cure the disease." Lin Qingran opened another book, which recorded other prescriptions.

Wei Ming turned a few pages, couldn't help being a little surprised, and looked up at her, "You mean health?"

"Well, health preservation." Lin Qingran's notes are all the health preservation prescriptions she collected herself, which strengthen the foundation and cultivate the vitality, and there are also spring to remove dampness and autumn to remove dryness. The simplest one is wolfberry mixed with several kinds Hua's health-preserving tea, "There is no time limit for these. Drinking it is a solid foundation. If you don't drink it, you won't feel uncomfortable, so there is no difference between three days and half a month."

He still wanted to continue scrolling down, but Lin Qingran closed the notebook and looked at him with a smile, "Uncle Wei, let's discuss it first. If this can be done, we will share it [-]-[-]."

Wei Ming smiled, "You want to use this to make money?"

Lin Qingran nodded.

"Then these prescriptions have already been available in major medical centers, so it's your turn to talk about them." Wei Ming pointed out the fact, "Even if you want to make these into pills, someone is already doing it. Many concubines in the palace don't like to take medicine, and the Imperial Hospital has already made this pill." Thinking about it, she felt that saying this was too shocking to her, Wei Ming added at the end, "It's not easy for you to think of this."

Lin Qingran was not depressed, but looked at Wei Ming and asked him, "Uncle Wei, have you prescribed some beauty-beautifying medicines for your aunt at home?"

Even my own mother would occasionally drink some beauty-enhancing decoctions. There are many categories of these things, such as scented tea, some directly asked the doctor to prescribe medicine, and some took medicinal food. Wei Ming is a doctor, so he will naturally prescribe some for his wife. Such prescriptions are used to nourish the body and maintain the beauty.

"The pills that Uncle Wei said are available everywhere, but there is no medical center in Luodu City that is specially set up for madams, and there is no special medical center for this kind of health preservation." Lin Qingran paused and smiled. looking at him.

Wei Ming suddenly understood what the girl was talking about, and then his heart was full of shock.

The 11-year-old girl in front of him has surprised him too much in the past few years. In his eyes, the fifth girl of the Lin family is a smart and introverted child. , and now he is still negotiating terms to do business with him.

Back then when I asked him to read medical books, he could be called precocious. It is not surprising that many children praise precocious wisdom. But now, Wei Ming can only say that this girl is really smart and intelligent. .

The Wei family is a family of medicine. It was when Wei Ming's father entered the palace to be an imperial physician. Both grandfather and great-grandfather were doctors. They opened a medical clinic and a Xingji hall, and they took in many apprentices. There are many Wei families in and around Luodu city. The medical clinic he opened, seeing doctors and selling medicines, actually has some elements of business. Wei Ming is the eldest son of the Wei family. He has been in contact with a lot of things in this area since he was a child. He is good at practicing medicine. The medical clinic not only saves people, but also He wanted to sell medicine for business, so when Lin Qingran asked, he immediately understood what she meant.

This idea is considered bold. The medical clinic specially set up for the madam sells some targeted prescriptions, but the madam rarely goes out on weekdays. This business sounds new, and it is still unknown whether it can be profitable.

Following the routine of doing business, Wei Ming looked at her, "Girl, do you know how much it will cost to open another clinic."

"Uncle Wei, even if there is no business, you are not at a loss. Changing is the same as other medical clinics in the Wei family. If you think it is risky, you can wait and see how the business of the shop my mother entrusted to me is doing." , and then decide why not cooperate, how?"

Speaking of this, Lin Qingran's expression was serious. Seeing her firm look, Wei Ming smiled and said, "Girl, why did you suddenly think of this?"

Lin Qingran, who lowered her head to sort out her notes, raised her head slightly and said calmly, "Because of lack of money."

It was August, and the shop that the Lu family had handed over to Lin Qingran reopened. The shop was well decorated. Looking across the West Street, the facade of this shop was eye-catching. The big gilded plaque hung on the On the gate, there are three words written: Pingting Pavilion.

The people around only knew that this shop used to be for buying cloth, but suddenly it closed for more than two months, and when it opened again, it changed its face. They all thought that the owner had changed, and gathered around to watch.

This shop is directly opposite to the second floor of a teahouse. Inside the open window, three people sit and stand twice looking at the shop downstairs.

The shopkeeper and the waiters at the door are greeting the guests. Among the guests who went in, the men came out after a while, and the women stayed inside.

After a while, a few of the female guests who went in came out, and Lin Qingran said, "How long have they been in."

"It's been a while, miss." Si Hua looked carefully behind him, "The one in the red dress has been in the longest."

Usually after visiting a store for so long, even if you don’t buy it, you will still be interested in the things in it. Lin Qingran glanced at the second floor, where there are some cloth and jewelry. There are not many things made now, and they will be mass-produced It's never too late to replace.

Just as he was thinking about it, Si Hua's excited voice suddenly came from his ear, "Miss, look, someone bought it." A young woman in pink clothes came out, followed by a maid, who was holding the bag in her hand. It is a special box for Pingting Pavilion.

When Lin Qingran looked down, a carriage just came over and covered the two people. Lin Qingran's eyes fell on the stopped carriage. After a while, the curtain was drawn, and two people came down. The woman, the more Lin Qingran looked at her, the more she looked familiar. Isn't this Miss He Jiasan and her cousin, Miss Qin?

At this time, the curtain of the carriage was opened again, and a man's figure came out. Lin Qingran's expression tightened. The person who was talking to Miss Qin was her eldest brother-in-law, He Chengsheng.
