Chapter 98 99. Pharmacy
Lu Tongzhi and Lu Tongzheng both asked Xiao Yunhai for help, but he shook his head slightly at them and said respectfully, "Yes, sir!"
Niu Haian turned around and asked the adjutant who had followed him, "Let them recalculate and reduce the amount of disaster relief silver and grain by one level each."
"My Lord, even this is not enough."
Niu Haian, "I will write a memorial later and report the current situation here truthfully. But you also have to do a good job of appeasing them, otherwise if there is a real commotion, no one will be in any good."
Niu Haian had never expected that he would be chosen as the appeasement envoy this time. Now, not only does he have to deal with these refugees, he also has to go to the three northern provinces to take a look. Just thinking about it is enough to give him a headache.

"This young lady is thin, her hair is dry and grey, she is weak and listless... She is starving. If she doesn't take good care of herself, her life span may be shortened. Fortunately, she originally had a good foundation. As long as she can persist in taking care of herself for two or three years, her body will be back to normal."
After listening to Doctor Chu talking about his bookish stuff for a long time, Jin Qianqian concluded that one has to take care of one's health.
"I don't know how to treat it. Please prescribe some medicine, sir." Gu Wenheng was relieved when he heard that it could be treated.
Doctor Chu sighed, "It's just that there are two kinds of precious medicines for this treatment, and they require a lot of silver. Are you sure?"
Looking at the way the two were dressed, they didn't look like they were from a wealthy family, so I could only bring up the subject first.
"I wonder how much silver it is?" Jin Qianqian asked cautiously. Why didn't she think of collecting some Chinese medicine at that time?
"First, take a month's course of treatment, which costs eight taels of silver. After a month, come back to check your pulse and adjust the prescription. Then the bill will be settled separately."
"Doctor, please prescribe some medicine. We will come back for a follow-up visit in a month." Gu Wenheng spoke first, "But I wonder if you can tell me how to make the medicine?"
Doctor Chu stroked his beard and called the medicine boy not far away, "Wait a minute, follow him and he will teach you step by step."
Jin Qianqian asked weakly at this time, "Is this medicine very bitter?"
"Good medicine tastes bitter. As long as it is good for your body, you have to drink it with your eyes closed." Gu Wenheng looked back at her, "Let's go buy some candied fruit later. We will suffer first and then enjoy the sweetness."
Doctor Chu: “…” It’s great to be young!
The medicine boy at the side said, "…" That's great, there are candied fruits to eat.
Jin Qianqian suddenly pulled Gu Wenheng and said, "Doctor Chu, please help my husband too."
Gu Wenheng also sat down and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I also wanted to ask Doctor Chu to help me."
Doctor Chu, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Wenheng shook his head. "Treat the disease if there is one, and prevent it if there is none. Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Chu."
"This is not nonsense." He has really lived long enough. Even if he is not sick or in any pain, he still goes to the doctor for treatment. What kind of logic is this?
You're not like those masters and mistresses in the mansions who come to check your pulse every now and then.
But he still put his hand on him and looked at Gu Wenheng carefully. "Young people are full of blood and hot temper. It's best for them to control themselves..."
Gu Wenheng understood immediately. After all, he had a beautiful woman in his arms and had to keep it to himself. He didn't expect that this old doctor was so capable and could see so many things.
Jin Qianqian: “…” Did you seem to understand it too?
"As for the rest, there is no problem. He is as strong as a calf. Go and get the medicine quickly." Doctor Chu raised his hand impatiently. Being a doctor now is also tiring.
Looking at the large bag of herbs in Gu Wenheng's hand, Jin Qianqian really wanted to throw the medicine jar in her hand. It was just a few days of hunger, but it took so long to recuperate.
"Isn't it difficult to take it?" Gu Wenheng wanted to reach out to take the jar, but Jin Qianqian turned away.
"It's easy to get, but some people will be whining when we get back."
"Are you afraid?"
"Who's afraid? I just can't bear to listen to those sour words. We've just been running around the city more frequently in the past two days, and they've been whispering behind our backs. Do they really think I know nothing?" Jin Qianqian didn't want to be the topic of everyone's discussion, but some people were unwilling to let her go.
Gu Wenheng, "Let's be patient and wait for a clear explanation from the higher-ups. Then we can stay away from them."
Jin Qianqian nodded heavily, "That's a must. I still have to build my own house and live my own life peacefully. It's a beautiful thought."
As for those unimportant people, you can treat them as passers-by in your life.
Except for the fifth sister-in-law, the other sisters-in-law in the family can only be treated as ordinary relatives.
I felt lucky again in my heart that this family had made a good division.
Gu Wenheng also said with yearning, "I remember that you seemed to have attended a sketching class in your spare time before. When the time comes, you can come up with the design of our house. Whatever kind of house you want to live in, we will build it according to your template."
"real?"
Gu Wenheng looked at her lovingly, "This will be our little nest from now on, so you have the final say."
Jin Qianqian: "..." This topic is not good at all, let's change it quickly.
"Shall we take these packed items back with us?"
Gu Wenheng, "Take it back! Send some to your parents in the evening."
"Is this okay?"
"Why is this bad?" Gu Wenheng blinked at her, "Don't forget that I'm supported by my wife now. I have to make everyone feel more at ease and stop causing trouble for you all day long."
Jin Qianqian had a deep understanding, "That's right, as long as we can calm down the mother-in-law, the other sisters-in-law and brothers will not be a problem."
The two hit it off immediately and swaggered back to the city gate carrying the packed restaurant food boxes.
"Seventh Brother, you brought back so many bags every time you went into the city. What good things did you buy? Let Third Sister-in-law see them too." Li Xiaohua tiptoed, wanting to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, this time it was Li Xiaohua who rushed to the front. Jin Qianqian almost swung her white handkerchief and said, "Third sister-in-law, I didn't buy anything. It's just that my husband saw that I was tired all the way, so he took me to see a doctor. These were bought for me to recuperate."
"Seventh brother's wife, why did you go to see the doctor? Are you feeling unwell?" Hong Daya asked hurriedly.
"I'm not feeling uncomfortable anywhere," Jin Qianqian said, and she glanced at the equally thin Li Xiaohua. "My husband saw that I was too thin, so he asked the doctor to check my pulse. These medicines are just to make my body better, not to cure any disease."
"Don't be afraid that you have some incurable disease! It's okay, why are you taking medicine?" Liu Liu looked at Jin Qianqian with ill intentions.
Gu Wenheng said in a cold voice, "This is a tonic medicine personally prescribed by the famous Doctor Chu in Daocheng. His ancestors used to take care of their health with the nobles in the palace. I just don't know if he can cure this kind of mental illness. Let my fourth brother go ask him tomorrow."
