Hypertensive patients hate noise the most, so it is reasonable for him to hide away and be quiet all year round. In addition, his recent symptoms are more serious - after all, it is winter, when blood pressure is high.
"Mr. Wu, please send these two gifts in advance. Especially, tell the butler how to use this medicine."
"master……"
Outside the curtain, a maid called in a low voice.
Although his head was bloated and his temples were bursting with pain, Li Luoyou still responded:
"What's up?"
"Shopkeeper Leng has sent someone to deliver a gift."
An unknown fire went straight to his forehead, almost detonating him in an instant.
But he remembered the doctors' warnings, telling him to "calm down and calm down" and not to get angry, so as not to suffer a sudden stroke - once a stroke occurs, he will either die or become disabled.
He is not afraid of death. He is already nearly sixty years old and has experienced everything in his life. Although he inevitably has all kinds of regrets, it can be regarded as a colorful life. If he is disabled, he will be reduced to fish meat.
From being the head of a powerful family to being reduced to a useless person at the mercy of others, not to mention the physical torture, he could not accept this kind of mental pain.
"Just give the gift and leave it to my aunt to keep." Although he didn't get angry, he had already made up his mind. If this girl came to report on her own initiative, she would definitely pay twenty bucks.
Although the rules in the house are that the family and servants will not be punished before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, this is an outer house, not a "home", so he can do whatever he wants.
She probably felt that she was about to get hit. The maid's voice was a little trembling: "Yes, it was the concubine who asked me to report it. She said there are two kinds of medicine in it, both of which are suitable for the master's disease."
"What nonsense." Li Luoyou said impatiently, "I have been suffering from this disease for many years and have taken countless medicines. Leng Ningyun is not the reincarnation of Hua Tuo, so how can he get any miraculous medicine?"
"My aunt said: The shopkeeper Leng said this medicine is the most efficacious. It will be effective once you take it. He also said it is from Nanyang..."
The words "Nanyang goods" are now synonymous with "Australian goods" in the capital. Since the Kun bandits invaded Guangdong and Guangxi, merchants in the capital have been taboo about saying "Australian goods", and they even dare not mention "Kun goods".
It's not unusual for shopkeeper Leng to send Nanyang goods, because he is a thief. As for whether it is a fake thief or a real thief, Mr. Li doesn't care.
Australian products, whether they are gifts or purchased by him, are not "full of goods", but there is nothing rare about him. Speaking of medicines, he has also seen some, including several "popular" ones now popular in the capital.
"Peaceful Medicine", "Zhuge Xingjun Powder", "Biwen Powder" and the like.
The most famous one is probably the anti-malarial pill. After he saw this product in Guangzhou, he was shocked as an elixir. However, it seems that few Australians have this kind of drug and it is not on sale. You have to have a lot of connections to get it.
A few pills. But the effect is immediate after taking it.
As for the "Australian miracle medicine" such as "Hearthstone Powder" that has been sold everywhere in the capital and Jiangnan in recent years, Li Luoyou cannot believe it despite its excellent reputation, because Gu Baocheng never mentions it in the letters he writes every month.
In order to treat his "head wind", he has been ordering Gu Baocheng to pay attention to Australian medicines in Lingao in recent years.
Now that Leng Ningyun sent someone to bring medicine to treat "head wind", he couldn't help but be suspicious.
However, Leng Ningyun is a real thief, and now he wants to teach himself that he will not bring fake medicine.
As a result, he became interested and his head seemed to be less painful. He immediately said:
"Change!"
Now, under the service of the maid, I put on my home robe and went to the bright living room outside.
Kuai Xue Pavilion is the place he specially used to spend the winter in Aunt Qiao's mansion. It is called a "pavilion" but it is actually a small courtyard with three lights and two darks. Every house here has a hidden fire dragon, which can light a fire in winter.
, the room was like spring, where he and Aunt Qiao lived and had banquets in winter.
"Sir!" Auntie Qiao saw him coming, and immediately stood up to greet him, saying Wan Blessing. She and Li Luoyou have been together for more than 20 years, and they have children together. It is reasonable to say that they are "meritorious ministers" of the Li family, and they are not formal in their acquaintance.
, he was still polite and considerate in front of Li Luoyou, and did not dare to be a little negligent.
Seeing Li Luoyou's expression of pain and staggering, she quickly came up to replace the maid, helped him over, and repeatedly said: "Go get the Nanyang rattan chair!"
"Nanyang rattan chair" is the "rattan back chair" of the old time and space. Although it is a traditional Chinese rattan handicraft product, its shape is based on the Western high-back chair in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. It is very ergonomic. Especially
It is designed with a high backrest and a slightly inclined arc-shaped waistrest. In addition, the rattan and bamboo material is slightly elastic, which can fully support the human trunk. It is especially suitable for frail patients like Li Luoyou.
This rattan chair is made of the best Lingao red and white rattan, with good materials and exquisite craftsmanship. Naturally, it is expensive. Li Luoyou sat down on it and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He whispered: "This is a gift from shopkeeper Leng.
What kind of medicine do you want to make such a fuss over?"
"I don't dare to disturb the master at will, but I came here to give you a gift because Master Wu said that these two medicines are very beneficial to the master's illness and will have immediate effects. That's why..."
"Oh," Li Luoyou said without comment. He was too lazy to speak and pointed at the table beside him with his hand.
Aunt Qiao quickly took over the four-color gift from Leng Ningyun. Li Luo didn't have the intention to take a closer look, so he only took the two medicines in his hand and looked at them briefly.
"This is a liver-relieving pill. Mr. Wu told me to take one pill twice a day. It will be effective immediately after taking it. But you can't stop taking it. He sent me a three-month supply this time."
Li Luoyou nodded and said feebly: "It will be effective after you take it. Is it an elixir?"
Aunt Qiao did not dare to answer the question. Seeing that he had no other expression, she continued: "This bottle is Musk Baoxin Pill. Mr. Wu said that he not only suffers from head wind, but also often suffers from heartache and palpitations. Attacks
Take one pill in your mouth as soon as possible and you will feel relieved. You can also take one pill every day to keep yourself safe.”
"Take one pill each, add water and dissolve." He ordered.
After a long illness, he became a doctor, and he also studied the pharmacology of various drugs. In addition to Suhexiang drink and various prescriptions, he also used a kind of "qutong pill". This was also an excuse.
One of the new drugs from "Australian Medicine" is very effective. But he knows the tricks in it.
"Although this drug is effective in relieving pain, it is actually an opiate." He warned his family, "If you take too much, you will become addicted. If you are weak and lazy, you will become a disabled person!"
The maid brought two small plates and a pair of silver chopsticks to him. He picked up the plate, smelled the medicine, and used the silver chopsticks to stir up the medicine residue, and tasted the medicine lightly with the tip of his tongue.
After a long while he said: "In that case, let's take a dose and give it a try."
Unexpectedly, after taking this medicine, within an hour, the feeling of head swelling and headache gradually disappeared, and the original dizziness also gradually disappeared.
Although taking Qutong Pills in the past could relieve pain, the dizziness could not be eliminated.
As soon as a person felt better, his appetite improved. Aunt Qiao was overjoyed when she saw this, and asked the person to bring him some porridge and side dishes to serve him.
After his stomach and intestines were satisfied, fatigue followed one after another. In the past few days, his sleep had been drowsy, half asleep and half awake, with many sinister things in his dreams. He always woke up exhausted. At this moment, sleepiness came over, and Aunt Qiao immediately went to the Nuan Pavilion.
Make a bed inside to let him rest.
He slept until dusk fell. Li Luoyou stood up and felt that his eyes were clear and his tired body was full of energy.
Such a good state is rare in recent years. Li Luo couldn't help but secretly marveled: Australians are really amazing!
My body felt refreshed, and the faces of Aunt Qiao and the maids and servants also looked much better. Everyone felt relieved. There was also a happy and relaxed New Year atmosphere in the mansion.
Li Luoyou did not feel as relaxed as Aunt Qiao. He carefully looked at the gifts sent by Leng Ningyun. Both gifts were very valuable and very thoughtful. It was clear that they were for him to show his love.
Leng Ningyun has been in the capital for a few years. Although Liao Haixing and Delong had a lot of contacts due to business, he himself had very little contact with Leng Ningyun. Except for the first time he met in the capital, he never met again.
There is no more personal contact. Leng Ningyun's attitude is very positive. He sends greetings on three occasions, and also sends congratulations and gifts whenever there is a red or white matter.
The reason why he treated Leng Ningyun so coldly was not simply to "avoid suspicion", nor was he holding a grudge because he refused to sell cannons. Rather, he had felt since the Wuyang Post was burned down that the thieves were no longer in the pool.
They were not Portuguese. They occupied a Hao Jing Ao and were satisfied with a place to settle down and do business - the thieves "had very big plans".
This barely concealed ambition had almost reached its peak before the fall of Guangdong and Guangxi. He also had some knowledge of the Kun thief's actions in recent years from his business network. Whether it was intervening in the riots in Shandong or attacking Zheng Zhilong
The group made an emergency landing in Liu Xiang, set up a shipping company in Shanghai, and sent people to Liaodong to contact the Manchus for business... Each item, each item, contained great ambitions. It was like a master's layout, without revealing the details.
He picked up chess pieces one by one.
So when Gu Baocheng sent a letter to tell him that the Australians were actively preparing for war and were very likely to land on the mainland and later the news of the fall of Guangdong came, Li Luoyou was not surprised at all. This was expected.
Just like Gu Baocheng's warning, what if the court knows about it? It's just a warning a few days in advance! There will be no change in the consequences.
"Isn't the golden scale an object in the pond? It turns into a dragon when it encounters wind and cloud..." Li Luoyou murmured. Kun Thief, this "golden scale" of unknown origin, seems to be turning into a dragon. And the sky is filled with
The "wind and cloud" is precisely the deteriorating situation of the country.
Li Luoyou has long been disillusioned with the Ming Dynasty. The changes in the political situation in the past few years have made him more and more desperate. He is no longer the middle-aged man who was looking for new technologies everywhere with the intention of refreshing the armaments, reviving the Ming Dynasty, and regaining his homeland.
. But if he were asked to vote for another Ming Lord, he really didn't like it.
