The girl prepared the pen and ink table. Xin Yi sat down, rolled up her sleeves and began to write.

"Stir fried Cyperus rotundus, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Montenegro Gardenia, and Shenqu Atractylodes in equal parts, grind them into powder, and mix them with water to make pills..."

After writing this, she stopped writing and looked up at Queen Cao.

"Although Gongzhong Pharmacy has all kinds of medicinal materials, the preparation method may be different from mine. I am worried that the efficacy of the medicine may be inaccurate. Now I have opened a medicine shop on Macing Street and prepare all the medicinal materials myself. If the saint can be trusted

, how about you wait until I go back to mix the pills and then deliver them to Cao Mansion?"

In the past, she only prescribed prescriptions for Empress Cao, firstly because she did not have a pharmacy herself, and secondly because she was afraid of getting into trouble.

Now Cao Yi helped her rent a drug store, gave her a plaque handwritten by Dr. Liu, and helped her with soft advertisements to expand her reputation. This kindness made her no longer able to take Empress Cao's illness lightly.

No matter how good the medicinal materials in the palace are, how can you feel confident that you can make them yourself?

Queen Cao looked at the sincerity in her eyes and smiled slightly.

"Of course that's good, but I have to trouble Mrs. Zhang again."

Xin Yi was afraid that she would disagree just now, so he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, put down his pen, and walked to Empress Cao again.

"Sage, go and lie down on the couch. I'll give you some massage to loosen your muscles and bones, relieve your fatigue, and relieve your depression."

The curtains hang lightly and the interior is warm.

Empress Cao followed Xin Yi's instructions and lay down, closed her eyes, and gradually relaxed as she kneaded and massaged her body.

"Ms. Zhang is very different from other doctors."

"What's the difference?" Xin Yi asked with a smile.

Queen Cao thought for a while and said slowly: "I am not afraid of the powerful, let alone the queen."

Not only is he not afraid, but he dares to slap him.

The maids and ladies were all sent outside. Otherwise, if they saw Xin Yi beating the queen's body in such a way, their eyes would be so frightened that they would fall to the ground.

Xin Yi laughed.

"In my eyes, the saint is also my patient. I will do my best to help the saint cure his illness. If I am timid and hesitant, I will definitely have some concerns when treating the disease and rescuing... Then the saint's condition will be greatly affected.

The ground is in bad shape."

Empress Cao felt much better physically and mentally under her pressure. She didn't open her eyes when she heard the words, but there was a faint smile on her face.

"What reward do you want?"

There are also rewards.

You already own a store, so don’t be greedy.

"Master Cao has given me all the extra medical money, and I have given all the rewards that should be rewarded. The saint should not spend any more money."

Queen Cao was very satisfied with her answer.

This little lady is young but has a very clear temperament.

She thought for a moment and then suddenly said:

"I heard that Mrs. Zhang in the palace has been disturbing you lately?"

Xin Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Empress Cao has a sharp ear and eyesight, and she and Concubine Zhang are rivals, so they will naturally pay attention to each other's every move, and nothing can be hidden from her eyes.

"Yes." Xin Yi said: "Ms. Zhang has a facial disease, and she sent someone to tell her today. However, Master Cao had already told me to wait at home, so he didn't go with them..."

After saying that, he smiled bitterly and glanced at Queen Cao.

"The little girl has offended Concubine Zhang very hard this time, and I'm afraid she will suffer an unreasonable disaster."

Queen Cao smiled and remained silent.

Xin Yi observed the words and said: "The father-in-law left in a rage, and I think he will come to look for me tomorrow. By then, I will definitely have to go to the palace. I have to take a look at Concubine Zhang's illness.

If you don’t want to look at it, you have to look at it.”

She said helplessly.

Queen Cao was very indifferent.

"My wife is doing her best to diagnose and treat her. If she makes things difficult for you, I will naturally not stand by and watch. You can relax."

Xin Yi was overjoyed, with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, saint, for your mercy."

With Empress Cao's guarantee, a big stone fell from Xin Yi's heart.

No matter how favored Concubine Zhang is, it will only be in the emperor's back house and palace. After all, the queen is still the empress, and she is the emperor's wife. No matter how powerful Concubine Zhang is, she can't get past her.

Of course, Xin Yi just found a protective umbrella for himself. Concubine Zhang still needed the doctor.

~~

Xin Yi returned to the medicine shop at nightfall, and Xiang Ling took the three little ones to bed as usual. Only Mrs. An and her husband stayed up to prepare the medicine, and they were very dedicated.

They had led two men to dig out the land in the backyard, remove the debris, and make it smooth. Xin Yi was very satisfied.

Since all the people living in the pharmacy were girls, the two clerks finished their dinner and then went home. The pharmacy was very quiet at night.

Before Xin Yi went to bed, she specifically asked her husband to close the doors and windows in the front and backyard, and then told her two things.

"Let's find someone tomorrow to see if we can dig a well in our backyard."

"The dogs at Zhang Laoqi's house should be two months old, right? Ask Xiang Ling to pick two energetic ones and come back to look after the house."

The matter of raising a dog was decided years ago. Uncle Zhang helped her inquire in the village. Only the female dog from Zhang Laoqi's family was fat and healthy. I heard that it was a hound that was paid to breed.

, the puppies they gave birth to were all solid. However, they were not yet a full month old, so they let them raise the puppies next to their mother, and agreed to pick up two of them after the new year.

As for digging a well, it was Xin Yi's impromptu idea.

Later generations know that the people of the Song Dynasty lived an exquisite life. From "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and "Tokyo Dreams", it can be seen that the people of the Song Dynasty were close to the level of modern civilization. The development of social economy, science and technology has reached this era.

the pinnacle of.

Mr. Chen Yinke holds the view that "the culture of the Chinese nation has evolved over thousands of years and reached its peak in the Zhao and Song Dynasties."

However, the ultimate Zhao Song has not yet arrived.

At this time, it was still four years before Su Shi, a water conservancy expert, left Sichuan for the first time to take the exam in Beijing. It was still forty-two years before Su Shi was demoted to Huizhou, Lingnan, and designed the continuous water supply system similar to the tap water of later generations.

Today's residents of Bianjing still rely on the canals that pass through the city and the tens of thousands of square wells in the city to get water. There are official wells, private wells in the city, and there are also "water collectors" who make a living by selling water.

Although the price of water is not expensive, only a few pennies per load of water, people who own private wells have more confidence.

Especially drug stores use a lot of water, and processing medicinal materials also has requirements on water quality.

Xin Yi thought about many things, and even thought about whether to find a way to implement Bianjing's "tap water system" early...

~~

The result of having random thoughts is that you cannot sleep well.

When Xin Yi got up at dawn, he yawned all day long. After breakfast, he asked the three little ones to take Zhen'er to play in the backyard. He and Mrs. An prepared the medicinal materials, ground them into powder, and personally made two boxes of "Sanqi Pills" for Empress Cao.

.

After a long time, she got excited and became very interested. She asked Madam An to get some dried rose buds and black sesame seeds, prepare ginger, honey and other things, wash them with warm water, put them in the pot, boil the juice and mix thoroughly.

, make it into a paste and put it into a box.

Then, I gave it a name - Happy Cake.

Qi pills and happy cakes are meant to help Empress Cao relieve her depression and relieve her heart ailments.

It's already noon after finishing these.

She asked her husband to send her to the Cao Mansion, and went back to her room to freshen up and change clothes, waiting for Concubine Zhang's people to come again to introduce her to the palace.

Unexpectedly, when it was almost dark, the father-in-law did not come, but an uninvited guest came.

Prince of Guangling County.

Fu Jiuqu did not bring any bodyguards with him today. He was accompanied only by a smiling Sun Huai. As soon as he entered the store, Sun Huai bowed his hands and kept saying congratulations on moving into a new store. This made his master's face colder and colder, just like a handsome boy.

The debt collector.

Xin Yi felt a little weak inside.

She had promised Fu Jiuqu to be his "exclusive medical officer" before, but now she not only helped others see doctors, but also opened a medicine shop and medical clinic.

Good guy, Fu Jiuqu is not here to seek revenge, is he?

Xin Yi braced himself and welcomed him into the inner hall. When he saw Fu Jiuqu's brows were unmoving and he smelled of osmanthus, he frowned and glanced at him.

"Prince Mingjian, since the shipwreck case is related to me, then our previous agreement can no longer be fulfilled."

"Really?" Fu Jiuqu smiled faintly, looked around, slowly sat down on an armchair, lifted the corners of his robe, and looked at Xin Yi with a lukewarm look.

"No more counting?"

Xin Yi approached and said, "The prince is reasonable and will not embarrass me?"
