Chapter 91 Authentic Medicinal Materials
Chapter 91
The host and the guests returned to the living room.
As soon as Tian Qinglai sat down, she apologized to Jiang, saying that her daughter was ignorant. So many things happened in the Lu family, but she did not come back to help, and even asked her husband to stay at her parents' home. Then she expressed her gratitude, thanking her in-laws for their kindness and understanding, for allowing her son-in-law to stay in the Tian family and help for so long.
Tian Qinglai and his eldest son brought the medicinal herbs back to the Tian family from other places last night. When they arrived home, they saw their daughter and son-in-law were there and were very happy. Later they found out that their daughter and son-in-law had not returned to the Lu family for such a long time since they left.
After asking in detail, I learned that after they left, so many things happened in the Tian family and the Lu family at the same time, and the daughter and son-in-law chose to stay in the Tian family to help and did not return to the Lu family.
Although he was pleased that his son-in-law had lent a hand to the Yue family in their time of need, he felt that this was not the right thing to do. As the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Lu family, they should have returned home when the Lu family was in such great trouble. At the very least, he could have his daughter return with the child and devote herself to the family, and the couple could swap places.
But, the incident had already happened, so what could he do? He could only take his son, a truckload of high-quality medicinal herbs and a truckload of local specialties, and personally escort his daughter and son-in-law home, while also apologizing and thanking his in-laws.
Lu Zhiyuan, who was standing aside, looked embarrassed. He had been called in for a talk by his father-in-law last night, and he really knew he was wrong.
In fact, he really didn't expect that things would develop like this. At the beginning, it was really just a small matter of saving the wrong person from drowning. Later, his younger sister's marriage to the Xie family only encountered a few minor setbacks. But he felt that the marriage between their Lu family and the Xie family was arranged by the old man of the Xie family, and it was also because of his sister's life-saving grace, so it was very solid, so he didn't take it seriously. Later, the Queen Mother granted marriages to his younger sister with the Qin family and the Xie and Zhao families respectively, and he realized that things had become serious. At that time, he wanted to harness the carriage and go back immediately, but his younger sister happened to come to Ping'an Town and persuaded him that the family affairs had been resolved and asked him to stay at the Tian family to continue helping.
Things got bigger and bigger afterwards. Zhao Bin had his leg broken by his younger sister, his father lost the position of Chief Justice of the Dali Temple of the Xie family, and then he got the golden medal of immunity from death... All these big events spread out of Chang'an City and to Ping'an Town, and he was paralyzed.
Just as he was at a loss, his father-in-law and eldest brother-in-law returned. He admitted that he was easily influenced and lacked strong opinions. And then… he could only say that being a human being was difficult, and being the eldest son was even more difficult. Especially after returning home this time, he found that his son was well-liked by his parents and younger sister, at least more so than he was. Lu Zhiyuan prayed silently in his heart, "Son, grow up quickly. Dad's position in this family is counting on you from now on."
Faced with Tian Qinglai's solemn apology and thanks, Jiang felt he was being overly serious. If anyone was to blame, it should be on his son, not the Tian family. Regardless, his actions were indeed comforting.
Lu Songli found that the in-laws chosen by her parents were all very good. Today's incident showed that Tian Qinglai was a very sensible person, and the same was true for the Xu family.
If Lu Desheng knew what she was thinking, he would definitely be very proud. We have abandoned the requirement of being well-matched and just want this.
"Father-in-law, since we are relatives by marriage, we should help each other. There is no need to talk about those empty formalities. The Tian family was in such a situation at that time. As the Tian family's son-in-law, Zhiyuan should have stayed to help. If one day, our Lu family also fell into the same predicament as the Tian family before, would your Tian family stand by and watch?"
"That's impossible."
"That's it, so when you leave, take the cart of herbs and leave the local specialties behind," Jiang said. Her confidant had just told her that many of the herbs sent by the Tian family were quite valuable, and when converted into cash, the cost was quite high.
Tian Qinglai waved his hand. "My wife just said that we don't need to be so polite to each other. The herbs we brought this time are what his aunt needs, so please leave them."
After returning home, Tian Qinglai heard from his daughter and son-in-law that his sister-in-law wanted to buy a batch of good medicinal herbs and had been asking his son-in-law to keep an eye out for them. He then decided to bring these herbs, and even replaced the slightly inferior ones in his son-in-law's hands with the good ones he had.
This truckload of herbs were all carefully selected, high-quality herbs, and only those with good appearance were sent here. It can be said that this half truckload of herbs was the profit of this trip for the father and son.
Hearing this, Lu Songli was a little restless. Her mother was personally entertaining them here, so she didn't need her. She decided to go and see the medicinal herbs sent by the Tian family.
This morning, upon learning her father was ill, Lv Songli deeply regretted not having prepared some nourishing pills sooner. These pills were based on a formula passed down through generations of the Lv family, and were ideal for the elderly or the frail. Lv Songli felt that if she had had the pills, her father might not have suffered this hardship.
The reason why she hadn't started preparing it earlier was, firstly, that she was busy and had little time to spare. Secondly, she had high standards and would not use any herbs unless they were authentic.
In later life, Lv Songli used the convenience of her office to provide her grandfather with authentic medicinal herbs. This was also the reason why the Lv family's medical clinic was doing well. Her grandfather and two cousins were good doctors, and the herbs they used were good, so they could cure any disease.
Why do Chinese people always criticize traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine? The medicines they buy from the pharmacy according to the ready-made prescriptions have little effect on the disease. In fact, it is not that the prescriptions passed down by our ancestors are not good, but that the medicinal materials are not good.
There are significant differences in the effects of authentic and common medicinal herbs. Unfortunately, authentic herbs are limited in quantity, and many high-quality, wild, authentic herbs have been bought up by Japan. Most of the herbs circulating on the market are substitutes with the same name but different origins.
For various reasons, she is quite persistent in her choice of medicinal materials.
The combination of medicinal materials requires careful attention to the main, secondary, auxiliary and guiding ingredients. She was still short of two herbs from the herbs she collected according to the prescription. Although those two herbs were not the main herbs, they were also extremely important secondary herbs, and she did not want to compromise.
Now the Tian family has sent them a batch of medicinal herbs, which is like someone giving them a pillow when they are sleepy. She wants to go and take a look.
Arriving at the warehouse, Lü Songli immediately recognized the herbs the Tians had sent. They included angelica from Gansu, aconite root from Sichuan, astragalus root from Shanxi, ox knee and rehmannia root from Huaiqing, and Panax notoginseng from Yunnan. While many places in Dali are not called by these names, the herbs are indeed authentic, grown in those areas. The two herbs she had requested were also there, and after inspecting them, they were found to be of exceptional quality.
Lu Songli sighed in her heart at the sincerity of the Tian family father and son. In addition, they were indeed good at identifying medicinal herbs.
