When Zhao Shu arrived at Qionghua Courtyard, she was overjoyed to see all the wonderful things there.
A complete set of porcelain enamelware.
A white jade bamboo-carved screen, one side.
Ten bolts of Yun brocade, ten bolts of Shu brocade, ten bolts of woven brocade, ten bolts of woven gold brocade...
A pot of Phalaenopsis orchids.
Xiao Guozi and the others lowered their heads and waited quietly to Zhao Shu's thunderous rage.
This is a blatant slap in the face by the Xie family, a naked slap in the face, a blatant slap in the face, a slap in the face without any attempt to hide it!
However, after waiting for a long time, Zhao Shu did not calm down. Instead, she said, "Our family is in dire straits, and the Xie family has sent us such fine things. They truly deserve to be called a noble and virtuous family. Xiao Guozi, go and thank Xie Shuling for me."
Xiao Guozi was a little confused. Shouldn't the princess have smashed everything in a fit of anger?
"Yes." He quickly replied after realizing what he meant, but what did that mean?
Before he could ask, Zhao Shu said to Green Vine, "Go tell Uncle Fu to take over the most prominent shop in the most bustling area as quickly as possible. Money is not a problem. If there is really no money, then don't pay the concubines' monthly wages this month, and don't pay the singers' wages either."
Green Ivy instinctively felt that although the princess was not angry and was smiling, she still felt that the princess was very angry at the moment.
After receiving the order, she kept thinking that the princess was planning to beat up the Xie family. There was no other way; Zhao Shu had a criminal record, so this was the only thing she could think of.
After Green Ivy and Little Guozi left, Zhao Shucai said to Chuchun, "Put everything in the register and store it in the warehouse."
After saying that, he wrote down a prescription and went to see Physician Peng.
When they found Physician Peng, he was deep in thought and didn't even notice Zhao Shu's arrival.
Looking at the book on the table, a prescription for treating eye diseases, which was more than half written, Zhao Shu carefully examined it and said, "Eye diseases caused by deficiency of liver and kidney, depletion of essence and blood, and yin deficiency with excessive fire. Add another ingredient, cassia seed..."
Before she could finish speaking, Physician Peng jumped up. At his age, this was no difficult task for him. He leaped in front of Zhao Shu and shouted, "What did you just say?"
Zhao Shu was quite startled by her sudden outburst and said, "Liver and kidney deficiency..."
“That’s not the sentence,” he interrupted Zhao Shu.
"Cassia seeds?"
"Yes, yes, this herb is cold in nature and has the effect of moistening the intestines and relieving constipation. It can also clear the liver and improve eyesight. I have finally completed this prescription." He muttered to himself, his mouth babbling incoherently, while his hands quickly wrote the three characters "Ming Jue Zi" on the book.
After finishing writing, he turned around and was startled to see Zhao Shu. He took two or three steps back in fright. "This old man greets the princess." After saying this, he remembered that it was Zhao Shu who had reminded him. His old face turned bright red. For the first time, he lost confidence in his medical skills.
I've practiced medicine for decades, and I'm not as skilled as a little girl? It's heartbreaking.
Zhao Shu looked at him with amusement and said, "Old Peng, I've come to you today to discuss shampoo formulas."
"Oh, oh, oh, do you have any thoughts?" Feeling insecure about himself, the old doctor Peng became particularly awkward in front of Zhao Shu. "I'm so old, am I really not as good as a little child?"
Zhao Shu was completely unaware that he was currently engaged in a battle with his celestial being. He gestured to Sheng Xia and Wan Dong beside him to clean up the table before taking out the prescription he had written in advance and handing it to Physician Peng.
Although the old doctor was old, he was very healthy and had no failing eyesight. He usually looked quite old and his eyesight was failing, but as soon as he had a prescription, his condition would improve immediately.
After looking at it for a while, he raised his head and stared intently at Zhao Shu, "This prescription was prepared by the princess?"
Zhao Shu immediately shook her head, "No, no, it's a prescription I came across while looking through medical books. However, the prescription is incomplete, and I added one or two ingredients myself, so I'm very unsure of its effectiveness. I would like to ask you to take a look."
"I wonder if I could borrow that medical book to take a look?" Old Physician Peng thought, a little child has read that medical book and has become so proficient in medical principles. If he read it, wouldn't he become a divine doctor? The thought of having that peerless medical book made his original embarrassment disappear instantly.
Zhao Shu hesitated for a moment, "Do you recognize my mother?"
It took the old physician Peng a while to recall who Zhao Shu's mother was. The Marquis of Yiguang's mansion back then was different from what it is now, and Jiang Ying herself was unruly. Even though she had been gone for ten years, the old physician Peng could still remember her.
He nodded. "I've heard of it."
“Old Peng, as you know, my mother has always been unconventional and often does some shocking things. This medical book was something she obtained by chance while traveling. As it belongs to my mother, I am reluctant to lend it out. However, I am willing to share the contents of the medical book with you, Old Peng.”
If others heard her say this, they would surely say, "What do you mean by traveling abroad? It's clearly running away from home. What do you mean by disobeying etiquette? It's clearly heresy."
However, the old physician only mentioned the words "medical book" and "sharing". "I was too presumptuous. To be able to share such a wonderful medical book is enough for me in this life."
"Mr. Peng, you're too kind. As a doctor, I treat the sick and save lives. How could I keep a good prescription to myself? Wouldn't that be letting down the person who created it?" In fact, these things are all publicly available in modern times. Countless good medical books have been published and can be found in the market and in schools.
Physician Peng was immediately filled with admiration for Zhao Shu. She was truly magnanimous and worthy of being a royal princess. Compared to her, he was simply too narrow-minded.
Zhao Shu was unaware that she had only shared the things she had brought with her, and that was how she earned the old doctor's respect.
"Compared to the princess, I am far inferior, far inferior indeed," he sighed repeatedly.
To stop him from continuing to sigh, Zhao Shu quickly put down the prescription, "Old Peng, whether this prescription will work or not remains to be seen. You've gone to a lot of trouble. It would be even better if it could be made into an ointment."
After saying that, I left as if I were fleeing. Being yelled at by an old man as if I were inferior to him made me feel really guilty.
Back at Qionghua Courtyard, all the early spring flowers had been stored away. Green Ivy and Xiao Guozi had also returned. Upon seeing Zhao Shu, Xiao Guozi immediately stepped forward to report, "Princess, this servant did not see Xie Shuling. The Xie family said that Xie Shuling was taking a midday nap."
Zhao Shu glanced at the sun. If it were a midday nap, Xie Yun should be up by now. Besides, with Wang Jiyang and Fei Chi making such a racket, it would be a wonder Xie Yun could sleep.
"Let's go again."
Xiao Guozi accepted the order and ran to the Xie family again.
After Xiao Guozi left, Luoluo hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Princess, Uncle Fu said it should be done by the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, the timing is just right," Zhao Shu said, and then went to the small study.
Green Ivy was completely baffled. What did the princess mean? Was she implying that the Xie family would be in deep trouble? She suddenly felt excited and expectant.
As the saying goes, "You can tell what a person will be like at three years old." This saying applies to Green Ivy, although she is a bit older, it is very true. In the future, Green Ivy will be like Zhao Shu's forward, invincible.
