Chapter 557: Preparation of Ointment
However, Fubao still prescribed a prescription for Wan Yirou.
"Sister Rou, this is a prescription to help you regulate your body. I know that my aunt must have asked a doctor for you, but this is my intention. If you trust me, please ask someone to get the medicine according to the prescription and try taking a few doses first."
Wan Yirou took the prescription, took a closer look at it, and found that it was basically the same as the ones the doctors had prescribed for her, but there were a few different medicines in it.
Wan Yirou put away the prescription and held it in her arms.
"Okay, I believe Sister Fubao."
"Sister Rou, can I go see my father after dinner? I haven't seen him for a day, he must miss me. And sir, I have something to say to him, I haven't finished my homework for today."
"Of course, I'll have someone take you there later."
After dinner, Fubao came to the front yard with the things Qingmei bought for her.
Wan Laoer's luggage and Jia Yanbing were all pulled into the Duke's Mansion by a horse-drawn carriage. Jia Yanbing and Wan Laoer lived in the yard next to Wan Xingchen's so that they could be looked after.
The Duke's Mansion is too big, with courtyards arranged in an orderly manner, but there are too many empty courtyards. There are hundreds of rooms in the entire Duke's Mansion, but half of them are empty.
Fubao was sent to Wan Laoer's yard. When Wan Laoer saw his daughter whom he hadn't seen for a day, he picked up Fubao and spun her around in the air. Fubao was amused and started giggling.
"Daddy, please put me down. I have something to ask the master."
Wan Lao Er's face immediately darkened deliberately, "You little heartless girl, Daddy has been worrying about you for nothing, and you ask for the master as soon as you open your mouth. Are you my daughter or the master's daughter?"
Fubao quickly coaxed, "Of course I am Daddy's daughter. I came to see you because I have something important to do, and Daddy can come and see me."
Wan Laoer carried Fubao into Jia Yanbing's room.
Jia Yanbing lived in the west wing and Wan Laoer lived in the east wing.
Jia Yanbing had already heard the noise made by the father and daughter when Fubao entered the yard. He glanced at Wan Laoer and Fubao through the window with a smile on his face and his eyes full of nostalgia. He couldn't help but let his gaze drift away. He wondered how his wife and children were doing in Yue's house now.
It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that Jia Yanbing came to his senses.
“Here I come.”
The door opened and Fubao walked in carrying a bundle in his hands.
"Sir, I'm here. These are the things I bought according to your prescription. I have boiled these herbs into a paste, but I'm afraid I can't grasp the proportions well. Since this is my first time mixing, I hope you can do it for me."
Fubao put the things on the ground. The table was a little high for her and she couldn't put them on it.
Jia Yanbing hadn't seen Fubao for a day and missed him very much.
"Girl, are you used to being in the Duke's Mansion today?"
"Fortunately, Aunt and Sister Rou were very kind to me. Sister Rou even took me shopping. I saw a lot of beautiful jewelry. We also watched a good show on the street today. I'll tell you about it later."
Jia Yanbing took Fubao's small bag and put it on the table.
Jia Yanbing sat down at the table, and Fubao quickly pulled out a stool and climbed up nimbly. Her feet were dangling in the air, not touching the ground at all, but this did not stop her from coming over to study carefully.
Jia Yanbing added pearl powder, white poria powder, angelica powder and honey into the plaster prepared by Fubao and mixed them evenly. The originally black plaster now turned brown and had a faint sweet smell.
"It's done. Did you see it clearly?"
"Sir, you are amazing."
"This is a technique passed down from my ancestors. The head of our Jia family has practiced it countless times and can accurately measure the amount of each medicinal ingredient with his eyes. However, since this is your first attempt, you must weigh it carefully."
Fu Bao nodded seriously, "I understand."
Fubao took the prepared ointment and looked at it carefully again and again, with surprise flashing in his big eyes. He felt at ease with the one hundred taels of silver, after all, it was prepared by the master himself.
Then Fubao seemed to remember something, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Wan Laoer.
"Dad, when you were helping me take off my clothes yesterday, did you see my banknotes?"
"I saw it. I was going to ask you where did you get so much silver? Unfortunately, I never had the chance. Tell me quickly. Did you pick it up?"
Thinking about his daughter's good fortune, it is possible that he could pick up a hundred taels of silver.
"Dad, I earned this with my medical skills. What are you thinking? Hurry up and return the banknote to me. This is mine and I need it."
Fubao stretched out his tender little white hand and asked Wan Laoer for the silver bill.
Wan Laoer remained indifferent.
"How is this possible? Who can give you one hundred taels of silver as a medical fee? Is this person crazy?" Wan Laoer felt that the people in the capital were not normal.
"Dad, this is the Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion. They are not short of money. Please give me the banknotes quickly. Don't think about embezzling them. I will definitely give you money when I earn money in the future, but not now. I still need to buy embezzled shoes for my mother and jewelry for my grandmother and mother. More importantly, there is also a share for the gentleman."
When Wan Lao Er heard Fu Bao's convincing argument, and even brought up Jia Yan Bing, his face immediately turned red, and he smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Yan, it turns out that you also got a share of this. I thought Fu Bao was just kidding, but it turns out to be true. It's all my fault that I didn't ask clearly. I'll return the money to her right away."
Wan Laoer took out a hundred-liang silver note from his purse and handed it to Fubao.
"You'd better take it carefully. This one hundred taels is not a small amount. Your father is really worried about you, a little kid. Why don't you keep it with me first? Then ask your father for it when you need it?"
"No, I already owe Sister Rou ten taels of silver, but Daddy can give me some change, my one hundred taels won't do much."
"Why do you owe so much money? What did you buy? You spent ten taels of silver?" Wan Laoer looked his daughter up and down and found that she didn't have anything extra. Was she cheated? However, Wan Laoer quickly denied his thoughts. Miss Wan would not cheat Fubao, which meant that she really spent ten taels of silver.
"Here they are. This small jar of plaster cost me ten taels of silver."
Wan Laoer's pupils trembled. Such a small amount cost ten taels of silver?
“Are the things in here expensive?”
Fubao and Jia Yanbing didn't say anything, they both looked at Wan Laoer.
Wan Lao Er touched his face and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Dad, you won't understand even if I tell you. I'll explain it to you slowly later. But I still have one thing to ask of you."
Wan Lao Er felt a little hurt, but still responded: "What are you talking about?"
"You need to help me deliver this ointment to the wife of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion. Just tell them that I asked you to deliver it. I'm afraid they will spray it out for you."
Wan Laoer took a look at his clothes. They were clean and he didn't look like a beggar. Why did Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion beat him?
"Dad, I'm going to the palace with Sister Rou to attend the plum blossom viewing banquet tomorrow. I'm telling you."
Fubao didn't say anything else, for she was afraid that if Wan Laoer knew about it, he would definitely lock her up in the yard and not let her go out.
"My daughter, you said you were going to the prince's palace?" Wan Laoer felt that since he came to the Duke's Mansion, the words he heard were either Weiyuan Marquis Mansion or Prince's Palace. Anyway, they were all noble families. Thinking of Fubao's true identity, it seemed that their family had really wronged Fubao.
If Fubao was in the Kingdom of Yue, she would be a princess, so noble.
Wan Laoer felt guilty and thought his family was a little selfish. He didn't know whether Fubao would blame them when he grew up.
