Chapter 219 Medical Book
After Yan Xingchuan left the second branch of the Cui family, he returned to Yayuan.
In the afternoon, he summoned several members of the Cui family, officials from Xianyang City, and several teachers from Xianyang Academy to learn about the situation in Xianyang City.
An hour later, everyone left Yayuan.
Early the next morning, as soon as it was light, Yan Xingchuan led his men out of Xianyang City and headed straight for Yunzhou.
The news that the King of Northern Yan was coming to Xianyang City came to an abrupt end just as it spread. The noble families and students in Xianyang City all beat their chests and stamped their feet, extremely annoyed that they had not seized this opportunity.
At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Although the King of Northern Yan is no longer in Xianyang City, the princess is still here, and the Cui family is still here. If we can get the princess's nomination, we will have many opportunities."
"That's what you said, brother."
......
When Cui Si woke up, it was already afternoon. The sky outside was gloomy and a cold wind was blowing, causing the bamboo curtains that blocked the wind to sway.
Soon, a heavy snow fell.
At dusk, the sky and the earth were covered in white. Cui Si, holding an oil-paper umbrella with a painting of plum blossoms in the snow, walked to Yayuan with Rouge, Songlu and a group of guards.
The wind and snow have not stopped, and the world is bleak.
"Greetings, Princess Wang."
Everyone bowed and invited her in.
"I heard that the Jiang family sent some things here. I wonder who is looking after them?"
"Replying to Princess Wang, it's the old slave."
The one who answered was the chief steward of Yayuan, whose surname was Zhang and he was called Steward Zhang. He was about thirty years old. He was a servant of the Cui family. He had been educated and learned how to write. He had a handsome appearance and was careful and meticulous in his work, so he was arranged to live in Yayuan.
"Take me there to have a look. Okay, everyone, get up and do what you need to do."
Everyone quickly responded "yes", and then Manager Zhang invited Cui Si and others in and led her to a courtyard.
"The King of Northern Yan stayed here temporarily yesterday. Which courtyard did he stay in?"
"In reply to Princess Wang, the Lord resides in Summer Garden."
Cui Si nodded: "Did it cause any trouble to you?"
"No, they just asked us to clean the house, boil water and cook, and we don't have to worry about the rest."
Cui Si nodded again and said nothing more. Yan Xingchuan himself did not have high demands on life. As long as he could eat, he was satisfied. Besides, he had not taken a bath for a long time, so he liked to take a hot bath. His subordinates also followed suit and had the same temper for a long time.
"Did the Jiang family send many things?"
"It's not too much, nor too little. Princess, you'll know once you see."
Manager Zhang led his men to a small courtyard called "Yicunfang", invited them into the main room, then took out a box from a box nearby and handed it to Cui Si.
“Here’s the list.”
Yan Nanxiang reached out and took the box, tapped it lightly with his fingers, and then opened it for Cui Si.
Cui Si picked it up and took a look. There were two booklets and three deeds inside. One was the deed to the current Jiang family mansion, one was the deed to the pharmacy, and the other was the deed to a farm outside Xianyang City.
These three places are the properties that Jiang Cinian acquired after arriving in Xianyang City.
The two booklets contained some valuable things of the Jiang family, including furniture, ornaments, jewelry, fabrics, and some precious medicinal herbs.
Cui Si's hand holding the booklet tightened slightly.
The Jiang family has been deserted, and many of the medicinal materials in the pharmacy have been distributed to pharmacies in the city. Now, the only things left in the Jiang family are the heavy and difficult to move furniture.
Left it all to her...
When they left, I'm afraid that apart from some silver bills and medicinal herbs that could be taken away easily, and a few sets of clothes that she liked, the rest of their things were left to her.
Cui Si closed her eyes and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Did the person who came to deliver the gift say anything?"
"No, it was the second day after Wang Ji left. The Jiang family sent something over and just told them to leave it to Wang Ji and let her do whatever she wanted."
"Let me handle it?" Cui Si was a little annoyed. "The master and disciple left so cleanly, which was really good. What do they leave for me? Do I need these things?"
Since you are leaving, why not just leave cleanly? Why leave these behind and let her look at them and think about them every day?
What's the point of leaving these to her? If she really coveted wealth and money, how could she possibly marry Jiang Cinian?
"Just like the guy named Yan, neither of them is a good person."
It would only make her sad.
All men are bad.
Cui Si was so angry that she wanted to turn around and leave.
"By the way, Wang Ji, here is another box of books that I need to give to you."
"What book?"
"Some medical books."
Cui Si paused slightly and followed Manager Zhang forward. She saw him open a box, which was packed with books, about a hundred of them.
Cui Si took one and looked at it. It turned out to be a book on preparing medicinal materials, with some tiny annotations on it.
He took out another book, which was about the cultivation of medicinal herbs and was also filled with dense annotations.
Cui Si's face changed. Those items and medicinal herbs were nothing special, although they were valuable, but that was all. However, these books were truly priceless treasures.
There were fonts in the annotations above. She recognized one of them, which was Jiang Cinian's, and the other should be Baili Boqin's.
Cui Si searched among the books and finally found a piece of paper in one of them.
The book above says:
Nothing to give but a box of books
Cui Si's expression was very complicated. If the other things were left to her because Baili Boqin couldn't take them away and didn't want to sell them casually, then this box of medical books should be a gift to her.
Medical books and annotations by two generations of miraculous doctors.
Whenever a copy is released, people will rush to buy it.
You have to know that the imperial court burned down Yaowang Valley and didn't find even a single medical book from Yaowang Valley, and now they gave her a box like this.
Cui Si raised her eyes and looked at Zhang, the steward. "Have you read these books?"
Steward Zhang shook his head. "When Sanlangjun came back, he took a look at the book and copied down the names. He then told me to keep a close eye on it and not allow anyone to take it away except Princess Wang."
"You did a great job." Cui Si nodded. "Rouge, twenty taels as a reward."
Yanzhi took out four small gold ingots and presented them to him.
"Thank you, Princess Wang."
"No need to thank me. I'm going to move to Yayuan in a few days. I'll trouble Manager Zhang again in the future. I'll take this box of books with me."
"yes."
Cui Si asked someone to carry the box of books back to the courtyard where she lived, and then she carefully checked what the books were.
Some of these books were written by Jiang Cinian himself, while others were purchased by him, and he added some of his annotations. Later, Baili Boqin added the same annotations.
Cui Si also saw a book on making ointments and perfumes.
Only half of this book is written, the other half is blank, and the half with words contains the recipes for more than a dozen ointments and perfumes.
Cui Si tightened her grip on the book.
She could still vividly remember the scene when he said he wanted to make ointment to earn money for her cosmetics.
