Chapter 243 Medicine

 Wait, did I ask you to buy the medicine?

Hearing his lady's words, Wang Xiaoer, who was already walking at the door, couldn't help but stop and his face turned slightly pale.

"What, but I forgot?"

Li Shu put down the brush in her hand and glanced at Wang Xiaoer standing at the door with her dark eyes. She curled her red lips slightly, and her voice was as plain as water.

"No, no, the little one has already bought it.

Li Shu glanced casually, but a few drops of cold sweat appeared on Wang Xiaoer's forehead at the door. Others didn't know about his own lady's methods, but he knew about it.

But the medicine that the eldest lady asked her to buy was not ordinary medicine. The reason why Wang Xiaoer came back later was because it was difficult to buy, especially the good medicine that had no side effects on the body. He spent a lot of money to buy it from a former harem maid released from the palace. The harem maid served a concubine before she was released, and the prescription was obtained when she was in front of the concubine.

This kind of medicine can only be believed by those circulating in the palace. After all, it has experienced the turbulent test of the harem.

However, although this medicine has no side effects, it is just a blind spot, so Wang Xiaoer did not take the initiative to offer it.

"Have you asked clearly?" Li Shu asked.

"I asked clearly, there are no side effects." Wang Xiaoer replied with his head down.

"Then let it leave it to Mama Zhao." Li Shu turned the cold jade bracelet on her wrist and ordered Wang Xiaoer lightly.

"Well, you go down and remember to do more and talk less."

After watching Wang Xiaoer handing a delicate little porcelain vase to Hua Mama, Li Shuyi said something intently and sent Wang Xiaoer out.

"Miss, what medicine is this?"

Zhao's mother is an old man from the Li family. She was in the Li family before Li Shu was born. However, because she was a servant and a woman, Zhao's mother had never had the opportunity to read, and she still couldn't read a single word. Although there was a name for the medicine on the porcelain bottle, Zhao's mother didn't know what medicine she was in her hand. After handing the porcelain bottle to Li Shu, Zhao's mother asked curiously.

This is an exquisite blue and white porcelain vase with a red ribbon tied on it, and the name of medicine is on it, but because of the angle problem, I can only see the word "jue" on the ribbon, and the remaining characters are held in the palm of Li Shu's delicate jade hand, and I can't see clearly.

Li Shu was playing with the porcelain bottle in her hand, and she curled the corner of her mouth when she heard this, "A peerless medicine. Hehe, these doctors are very angry."

"After supper, let the kitchen bring back herbs to prevent and treat the cold that my father brought back, and make a pot of herbs and give them to everyone in the house to drink. Oh, by the way, the portion of the girl in my room will be sent directly to me to the yard."

Li Shu put the exquisite blue and white porcelain vase in her hand on the table and ordered Zhao's mother.

"Miss is really a living Bodhisattva. With this medicine, we don't have to worry about the cold this winter. The people in my hospital who have runny nose and headaches thank you. The lady is so kind."

When Zhao's mother heard this, she looked full of joy. The medicine brought back by the master was bought at a high price, and the effect was very good. Back then, her man had a cold and seemed to be almost out of reach. The master knew that he had sent someone a pair of medicine, but it was not very good. After drinking the medicine, he had sweat and his illness was cured. Now I heard from the lady that he had to boil the medicine to prevent and treat the cold and give it to everyone to drink, so that Mother Zhao was so happy.

"Okay, go down, you are all heroes of our Li family. It's better for us to be the Li family." Li Shu waved her hand and curled her lips and smiled, as if she was very helpful to the flattering she slapped at Zhao's mother.

Mother Zhao happily left as if she had drunk two taels of wine, and couldn't wait to share the good news with everyone in the Li family.

Then, the Li family was full of gratitude to Li Shu.

After Zhao's mother left, Li Shu played with the exquisite blue and white porcelain vase, then untied the red ribbon with the medicine name tied on the small porcelain vase, walked to a brazier, and threw the red ribbon into the brazier.

The red ribbon floats into the fire, rolls up in the fire, and then ignites a cluster of green flames.

On the burning ribbon, you can vaguely see the word "zi". Perhaps the word "good" was burned away first and next to "women", but in an instant it turned into ashes and cannot find out what the word is.

Li Shu stood quietly in front of the brazier, watching the red ribbon burned to ashes, and then sat at the table again with her little hands on her back.

Not long after, the little maid Huaer of Baozi walked over and over with a food box.

"Miss, this tofu and crucian carp soup is so delicious." The little maid of Baozi placed the food in the food box on the table and showed her kindness to her lady.

"How delicious? That's it that you stole the food?" Li Shu walked to the little maid of Baozi, stretched out her slender hand and scratched the tip of the little maid of Baozi's nose, curled up her cherry lips and joked.

"No, no, Hua'er didn't steal it." The little maid of Baozi shook her head hurriedly when she heard this.

"Oh, how can I know the soup is fragrant if I haven't eaten it secretly?" Li Shu asked again with her cherry lips curled.

"Ah?" The little maid Baozi wrinkled her face and thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Miss, you can smell it."

"I just remembered that you are so stupid." Li Shu knocked on the forehead of the little maid of Baozi, and then said mercifully, "Eating fish can make people smart. I can't finish drinking such a large portion of crucian carp soup. You can take a small bowl to replenish it."

"Miss, I'm not stupid." The little maid of Baozi covered her forehead and bulged her face aggrievedly.

After dinner, the entire Li Mansion was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine, but every servant of Li Mansion gave the back kitchen with gratitude to everyone to drink a bowl of Chinese herbal medicine to prevent and treat wind and cold in their hands, and even sipped it completely. This was the medicine bought by the master from an old miracle doctor in the south for a high price.

Five medicine bowls were also placed in the boudoir of the eldest lady of the Li family, which were steaming.

Li Shu's personal maid, Baozi, and the other three personal maids were also in Li Shu's boudoir.

"The cold weather is cold and the yin energy is too heavy, so it is most likely to suffer from wind and cold. These are the thickest bowls I have left in the kitchen, which is the most important to dispel wind and cold and promote lung energy. You are all the young lady who serves me, and go and drink the medicine so that you can avoid the time when you get wind and cold and sickness come."

Li Shu leaned against the embroidered bed, wearing a purple nightgown, her hair hanging on both sides. She had already gone to the hairpin before going to bed, and naturally decorated it. Her innocent and pretty face was hung with He Xi's smile, and her watery eyes narrowed slightly.

"Thank you, Miss."

Several little maids thanked Li Shu happily. The whole yard was drinking Chinese medicine to prevent and treat wind and cold, but they were not there. I thought I had forgotten them. It turned out that the lady had been thinking about them and left them the best bowls of Chinese medicine. The lady was so nice. Several little maids were very grateful to Li Shu.

So moved, several little maids drank the Chinese medicine while it was hot.

Li Shu looked at the little maids about to drink, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the little maid of Baozi, "Hua'er, bring me the last bowl, and I'll drink it when I finish reading this volume."

The little maid of Baozi obediently brought the last bowl of medicine to Li Shu and placed it on the table beside the bed.

"Well, you guys go down, I don't need to serve you anymore. It's best to sweat in the bed after taking this medicine."

Li Shu waved her hand and asked several little maids to return to their rooms.

After all the little maids left, Li Shu got out of bed and poured a bowl of soup on the table into the potted plant in the room, and then went to bed as if nothing had happened to continue reading.

The book in Li Shu's hand is "The Biography of Cao Cao". The volume I read is the section on which Cao Cao accidentally killed Lu Boshe. The last sentence of Cao Cao's famous saying on this page is to teach me to let the world down, rather than let the world down.

"Even if you let down the world and not let down the king, I only hope that your heart will be as good as my heart."
