Zhou Ci was extremely moved when he heard this, but before he had time to express his apology to his second brother-in-law, he heard the concierge rushing to report.
"Young Master! The prince is here and has already arrived at the door!"
Zhou Ci and his second brother-in-law looked at each other and put away the expressions on their faces.
The second brother-in-law patted him on the shoulder, "You go to the door to pick him up first. It's a little strange for me to appear with you. When you ask me later, you just say it's the recipe I found. Then call me out. I
Explain to the prince."
Zhou Ci quickly agreed and followed the concierge's servants to the entrance of the mansion.
Sure enough, I saw Yanque standing there in regular clothes.
Seeing the banquet coming, Zhou Ci made a surprised expression, "Why is the prince here? I thought it would take a few days for the visit post to be sent to the prince!"
Yanque was very anxious along the way, thinking of some possibility...
He can't wait a moment!
Seeing Zhou Ci at this time, he immediately took out the prescription in his hand and asked, "Where did you get this prescription?"
When he asked, he kept a handsome face and stared at Zhou Ci without blinking, trying to get some clues from his face.
But Zhou Ci took the prescription naturally, looked at it for a few times, shook his head and said, "It looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere. My second brother-in-law is in the medicine business, otherwise I'll ask for you.
?”
"You really don't know where he got this prescription? I ask you, is that medical clinic on the corner of Dongshi Street your family's business?"
Zhou Ci was stunned: "If it's a medical clinic, it might be from my family, or my second brother-in-law. The second brother-in-law happens to be at home today. My lord, please come in first and sit down for a cup of tea. I'll call the second brother-in-law. You can directly
Just ask him!"
Yanque was quickly welcomed in by his servants, who served him the best tea, but he drank it absentmindedly. After half a cup of tea, his second brother-in-law hurried over.
"I've met the prince, but the prince wants to see me for something?"
Yanque stared at him and asked, "Are you the Zhou family's son-in-law, Jing Yushu?"
Being called a son-in-law, Jing Yushu showed no resistance at all on his face. Instead, he admitted frankly, "Yes, Your Majesty, I am."
Speaking of the story of Jing Yushu and the second sister of the Zhou family, there is also a story.
But she said that the second sister of the Zhou family was old enough to get married, but she couldn't match the son of Jiangnan. The angry Mrs. Zhou wanted to choose a good family for her and marry her.
But the second young lady of the Zhou family had a stubborn temper. After a big fight with the old lady of the Zhou family, she had the audacity to drive a carriage with the little maid to the countryside to relax.
As luck would have it, we met a group of bandits!
The second young lady of the Zhou family was also a fiery person. She took out a dagger from her arms and put it on her neck, saying that if she wanted to let the bandit go, she would rather be bloodied on the spot than ruin her innocence!
It was at this time that Jing Yushu, who was going to buy medicinal materials with a group of merchants, passed by.
His companions told him not to meddle in other people's business, but he couldn't bear it and risked his life to save the second young lady of the Zhou family. The two of them formed such a fate.
Jing Yushu has no father or mother, and has been working hard outside since he was a child. When the second young lady of the Zhou family said hesitantly that Mrs. Zhu was not willing to let her marry him and suffer hardship, Jing Yushu simply made a decision.
"Then it's the same if I go to your house to be your son-in-law. I'm not afraid of embarrassment!"
Jing Yushu was just as he said. After arriving at the Zhou family, he not only loved his wife, but also respected his elders. The Zhou family now regarded him as half their own son.
Putting aside these things, Yanque had already heard the story about Miss Tuesday and the son-in-law who came to visit him. Although he looked rough, he had a clear and upright look on his face, so he lowered his tone and asked, "May I ask?
You, you run that medical clinic on the corner of Dongshi?"
Jing Yushu nodded: "I opened it. If the prince doesn't believe it, you can go to the government to check. It was all registered at the beginning, and I am the boss."
Yanque asked again: "Then where did you get this prescription?"
When Jing Yushu saw the prescription, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and then he suddenly smiled.
"Your Majesty, did I get this prescription from Kyoto, or did I ask it from the steward of the palace!"
"Have you forgotten? It was snowing heavily in Kyoto, and you were so charitable that you ordered the steward to prepare typhoid medicine and distribute it to the people. Many people thought the prescription was very good, so they went to ask the steward. Later, the steward told everyone."
"At that time, I also felt that such a prescription was very effective, and the medicinal materials on it were cheap and affordable for the common people. It was really a good prescription that benefited people's livelihood, so I copied it and brought it back, and followed the example of the prince.
If you send some medicine out every month, think of it as accumulating blessings for the Zhou family."
There was no flaw in what he said, and Yanque also knew that this prescription was indeed given away with his approval.
After Chu Luoci left, he treasured everything related to Chu Luoci, including the prescription.
One year it snowed heavily in Kyoto, and the steward asked him if he should go out to give soup and medicine, and he simply let the steward do it.
As for the doctor who treated Chu Luoci for pregnancy, he had been kept well in the palace by Yanque all these years, and he was not allowed to tell the story.
The doctor was bored and learned that the housekeeper was going, so he went with him. He also told Yanque that the prescription was written by Chu Luoci. She must have written such a prescription in the hope that poor people would be able to afford medical treatment and food.
He asked him if he wanted to give the medicine according to this prescription to the people.
Yanque thought at that time that Chu Luoci was dead and it would be a good idea to use her prescription to do something good for her, so he agreed.
When someone came to ask, he also told the housekeeper not to hide it. Now this prescription has actually become the first choice for ordinary people in Kyoto to take medicine after contracting typhoid fever.
Yanque came back to his senses, and the last bit of hope in his heart was shattered.
Yes, what is he still hoping for?
He gave the prescription himself, and it was just a coincidence that it spread to Jiangnan.
Just as I was thinking about it, a servant on the side came to report that Mrs. Zhou was here.
Mrs. Zhou is the elder of Yanque. Although Yanque has a noble status, she still stood up and welcomed the old lady in.
When Mrs. Zhou saw him, she might have missed her sisters and shed tears.
"You child, my aunt misses you so much. Everyone says that you enjoy the glory and wealth in Kyoto, but aunt knows that the palace... is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones! Let aunt see how you have been all these years.
How are you doing?"
Mrs. Zhou's words really spoke from her heart. She didn't take his identity into account at all, she really loved him as a descendant, so Yanque's heart softened.
"Auntie, I'm fine. I just made a little joke and made my aunt laugh."
After he finished speaking, Zhou Ci on the side quickly told Mrs. Zhou about the misunderstanding just now.
Mrs. Zhou wrote to Jing Yu: "You have no sense of propriety. If you had obtained this prescription and wanted to use it in your own medical clinic, you should have sent someone to the palace to inform him in advance. After all, this is the prince's palace."
How can you use the stuff that comes out of it?"
Yanque quickly said: "Don't blame him."
Originally, when things got here, he should have stopped talking, but Mrs. Zhou is an extremely smart woman.
She even made a curious expression, "What is the origin of this prescription that makes the prince care so much?"
She asked without any taboo and even full of curiosity, which made Yanque feel that this was really a coincidence.
So he was silent for a moment and then said to Mrs. Zhou, "This prescription was written by Chu Luoci when he was still alive... My mother and concubine should have told my aunt about Chu Luoci in the letter."
Mrs. Zhou was stunned when she heard this, and then sighed heavily.
"What your mother wrote in the letter was not true. She just said that there was a charming woman who seduced your heart and soul and made you unwilling to marry Fu Yun. Is it this Chu Luoci?"
"Aunt..." Yanque said in a complicated tone, "It's not her who seduces me, it's me. I can't let her go..."
Madam Zhou shook her head, her eyes full of complicated emotions, and she shouted, "What an injustice... What an injustice!"
