The Wen family is the natal family of Concubine Jing. When Concubine Jing entered the palace, she relied on the concubine for survival. Later, with the help of Concubine Gao, she gave birth to the sixth prince.
The sixth prince has been with the third prince and the seventh prince since he was a child. He never leaves anyone behind when he goes out to participate in any activities.
Now that the old lady of the Wen family is celebrating her birthday, Gao Ying specially wrote a letter to tell Xie Shuhua that the third prince would also go to celebrate the birthday.
How could you miss such a good opportunity?!
Mrs. Qi was a little confused when she heard this, "But...but your grandmother's words are not wrong. What if..."
"Mother!" Xie Shuhua's eyes immediately turned red, "Mother, haven't you seen it yet? What my grandmother loves in her heart is clearly her granddaughter. She is not your mother. In her eyes, she only cares about the blood relationship.
Despite the current situation, my father had no choice but to follow your mother's advice and marry Xie Songhua and I into the Crown Prince's Mansion and the Third Prince's Mansion respectively. But anyone with a discerning eye can see which of the two princes is better.
The Crown Princess is the Queen's biological niece. If the daughter is married, even if she has the title of concubine, she will still be a concubine after all, and her life will not depend on the Crown Princess's face."
Tears rolled down from her eyes. Qi Qiran looked at Mrs. Qi, "Mom, I only have you. Now besides Mom, you will sincerely consider your plans for me. Who else can I count on?"
Mrs. Qi felt so sad because of her crying. Thinking about the attitude of everyone in the house towards her daughter since Xie Songhua came back, she gritted her teeth and said: "I just said not to attend too many banquets, but I didn't say not to go out. Wait.
On that day, we agreed to go out to burn incense, and then you go out with your mother."
Xie Shuhua's eyes immediately lit up, "Sure enough, my mother still loves me."
Seeing her happily choosing clothes and jewelry, Ms. Qi sighed softly in her heart. Has her daughter ever been so happy about such a trivial matter before?
Now because of this status, I have to look at people's faces everywhere, and I am always lower than others.
The two maids who have served since childhood are gone now. Which girl in this house is so shameless?
If there is no such thing as a misunderstanding, it is just a trivial matter, just say a few words in private.
now……
Mrs. Qi sighed again, that's all. Others only see Shu'er as her mother-in-law.
As long as she sits in that position, let's see who else in this house dares to disrespect her!
Because of Xie Yuncang and the old lady's instructions, all the invitations to go out were postponed, and several girls resumed their usual routines.
Xie Songhua was worried about the girl's illness, so he asked Xie Tu for help and went out to buy rouge.
Fortunately, Anshi is now responsible for the entry and exit of the second door. The two sisters poured baskets and baskets of good words over her, plus the snacks from Suxinzhai that Aunt Lan had just bought from outside, so Anshi was half-rejected and half-baked.
Agreed.
After agreeing, I had to remind the two sisters again and again to remember to come back early and not to stay outside.
After walking out of the door, Xie Tu was surprised when Xie Songhua said he was going to the south of the city to look at shops.
"I asked you why you suddenly became enlightened and even thought about buying rouge. It turned out that you were using me as a cover!" Although he said this, he did not object. "I haven't been to the south of the city yet! I heard that there is one there.
There are so many handmade trinkets, it’s just a good time to go shopping.”
The monthly profit of the drugstore Xie Yuncang gave him was about one hundred taels, which was not a big shop, but as a girl's pocket money, it was more than enough.
This is also the reason why Xie Songhua has a lot of money recently.
This was her first time back, so she was not in a hurry to go down. She waited at the door for a while. Fortunately, the clerk inside was quite prompt and very polite to the guests who came here to get medicine. There seemed to be only one doctor sitting in the hall, who looked very old.
The two sisters went in with Mi Li, and were immediately greeted by the obedient waiter, "You two girls, do you want to take medicine?"
Xie Songhua took another look at the medicine cabinet, which contained some common medicinal materials, and then asked: "Is Shopkeeper Wang here?"
Seeing that the waiter was confused, he said warmly: "Just say that the fourth girl is here."
As expected, the shopkeeper came out soon after, and when he saw it was Xie Songhua, he quickly apologized, "I have collected a new batch of medicinal materials and are drying them in the backyard. I didn't expect the girl to come over at this time."
Xie Songhua's eyes lit up, "Is there a special drying area in the backyard?"
Shopkeeper Wang had met Xie Songhua in Xie Yuncang's study earlier, so he naturally did not dare to treat the elder daughter lightly, "Miss, are you interested in taking a look?"
Xie Songhua didn't hesitate and nodded directly, "Yeah."
The store in the front doesn't look very big, but the drying area in the backyard is quite large. In addition, there are some places where medicinal materials are processed.
The shopkeeper pointed them out to her one by one, "These are the white vines, mountain gardenias, and cockleburs that were harvested just this autumn..."
Xie Songhua was indeed very interested. He looked over one by one and suddenly bent down and pulled out a half-dried plant from the basket next to him, "Chonglou?"
Shopkeeper Wang smiled when he saw it and said: "Yes, it is also called seven-leafed flower. The last time I met the girl, I saw that the girl has some insights into pharmacology. The girl can see it at a glance, which shows that she really knows medicine. This medicinal material
It’s relatively expensive, so I’ll take these this season.”
Xie Songhua did not laugh, but asked doubtfully: "I remember my master said that Aesculus aesculata is slightly poisonous, and only the rhizome can be used as medicine. Why are the leaves on it not removed?"
Shopkeeper Wang was confused for a moment by the question. A bit of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he did not answer.
Xie Tu on the side smiled and said: "Hey, shouldn't this be dried in the sun and then the leaves removed? I think that's what those guys do!"
Xie Songhua hurriedly looked over, and sure enough, there was a man over there who was separating the dried leaves and stems of medicinal herbs.
But the stems and leaves of the Palmia that the guy handled can be used as medicine, but they have different uses when separated.
Shopkeeper Wang heard this and said quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, I think I remembered it wrong. It's probably because the guys are used to doing this."
Xie Songhua immediately understood what Xie Tu meant. When she came back, she was so critical. She was afraid that no matter who it was, she would feel uncomfortable, so she softened her tone and said with a smile: "So that's it. After all, everyone has something."
It’s everyone’s habit. After all, I’m young and haven’t seen much of the world, so don’t be offended by the shopkeeper.”
Shopkeeper Wang had a smile on his face and said, "You are so polite, girl. You are right to remind me that these medicinal materials are taken by mouth to treat diseases. If one mistake is made, it may affect the life of the patient, so one should always be more careful."
Hearing what he said, Xie Songhua felt slightly relieved, and then followed him into the lounge next to him.
Xie Songhua took a porcelain bottle from Ding Xiang's hand and said, "Look at this, shopkeeper. This is the burn ointment I made myself some time ago. I want to put this bottle in the shop. If someone needs it, you can take this first."
If you find it useful at that time, I will give you the prescription."
The shopkeeper was a little surprised, "Girl, this is..."
Xie Songhua thought for a while and then said: "Since my father gave me the shop, and now I am the owner of this shop, I naturally hope that the shop will grow bigger and bigger. Firstly, I can help people in need. Secondly, I also have some things to entrust."
The shopkeeper will do it for me. If our shop can be successful, it will be a good thing for both the shopkeeper and me."
Shopkeeper Wang didn't take her bottle of plaster seriously, he just took it casually and said with a smile: "If anything happens, miss, just give me an order."
