Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty
Chapter 524: Medicinal Materials
On the small streets in the inner city, the ground is also paved with stones, but it has been worn out. There is no bazaar here, and there are usually few irrelevant people coming here. There are few pedestrians on the street, most of them are people who live here.
On the attic of a tile-roofed building, beside the small window, a gray-clothed young man with his sleeves rolled up muttered, "It's blinding to stare at like this. What are we staring at?"
On the simple wooden bed at the back, there was an older middle-aged man and a young man gambling with leaf cards, and there were some copper coins piled up next to them. The older man said: "General Dong (Zun Hui) asked to stare, and we will just stare, and you will be benefited... His eyes are blurred, let you go and let him come over and play a few games."
"I just started winning, so you have to change." The young man sitting on the opposite side of the bed said.
"Don't be so wordy." The older man scolded, "There's a woman with big breasts and hips inside, she's pretty good-looking, keep an eye on it."
The person who came back breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to grab the leaf card, and said: "This job is really boring, and the sneakiness almost didn't cause trouble. The day before yesterday, the government people watched us, thinking we were spies."
The older man said casually: "It seems that they are not from the government, but from the palace. It is said that there were spies from the Northern Han Dynasty who came to Tokyo, and suspicious people are easy to be spotted; but let's not be afraid. General Dong is a general in the imperial army. What's the matter with us?"
"Hey!" At this moment, the young man next to the window called out, "Big breasts|buttocks come out! Come and see, riding a horse, it's quite a temper."
The older man hurriedly got up and ran to the window. Sure enough, he saw a woman wearing a veiled hat riding a horse out of the yard. He immediately said, "You, hurry back and report to General Dong. I'll follow and see what's going on."
... Jing Niang was riding on the horse, her eyes were hidden in the shawl of the hood, she glanced slightly at the house diagonally opposite, she gave a soft "hum", and rode slowly towards the street entrance.
She thought to herself: I always stare at others, but you still stare at me?
Few people participated in taking care of Mrs. Gao, and Jingniang didn't have any subordinates around her, so she usually didn't bother to check the surrounding situation. But the day before yesterday, a spy from the imperial court happened to come over, and Jing Niang noticed it, so she suspected that there was an eyeliner nearby.
When she walked onto the street, there were more pedestrians, and the surroundings were bustling. Jing Niang rode a horse and walked slowly. Horse racing was not allowed in the inner city, but there were quite a few horses and donkeys. After wandering around for a long time, she came to a pharmacy, looked slightly sideways, and saw Bai Xiangu sitting on a stool in the lobby holding a pack of medicine.
Jing Niang didn't pay attention to it, and didn't go to the doctor who was sitting in the hall. She went to get some medicines and left after a while.
... After a while, Dong Zunhui rode a carriage to the door of this medicine shop.
A man opened the curtain at the back, bent over and walked up, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, the man we are watching is buying medicine here."
Dong Zunhui nodded in response, but did not speak immediately. His|mother has been away for a few months, saying that she believes in Taoism and wants to find a place to recuperate; but how can Dong Zunhui ignore his own mother? Gotta know where she was and how she was doing.
At that time, Jingniang came to pick her up. Jingniang had stayed in the army twice. Dong Zunhui knew her, and of course she knew who she was. By looking for Jingniang, they found the small courtyard where Gao's rest was in a relatively secluded place.
Mrs. Gao would bring letters back every once in a while, but Dong Zunhui had already become suspicious... After thinking about it, he muttered in his heart, could it be that his mother is pregnant and wants to give birth to a younger brother or sister? Apart from thinking this way, Dong Zunhui couldn't think of any reason to explain Gao's strange heart.
If it is true, Dong Zunhui thinks that the child's father may be the current emperor Guo Shao! Otherwise, why did you send Jing Niang to take care of this matter? That Jing Niang is someone close to Guo Shao, and she would definitely not handle ordinary things by herself.
Dong Zunhui felt that this matter was a bit troublesome, but he was not angry. On the contrary, he thought it was a good thing...Gao was his mother, not his wife. Dong Zunhui didn't care much about her private life; and the other party was the emperor! Guo Shao was still the benefactor who saved the Gao family, and Dong Zunhui was not unhappy at all. He even felt that since his mother was widowed, wouldn't it be a good thing if he could enter the palace to be a concubine?
But he thought about it again, of course it doesn't matter if Guo Shao summons a widowed noblewoman into the palace to be a concubine, the big deal is that a widow in her thirties is envied by the world and can be a dragon and a phoenix... But if people know that the Gao family had an affair with the emperor before he had no status (and counting as children, Guo Shao did not proclaim himself emperor at that time), and if he didn't abide by women's morals, it would be bad for the Dong family and the Gao family's reputation. What's more, Gao's relationship with Guo Shao was still sister and brother.
Dong Zunhui weighed it up, and said to the people in the carriage: "I'll ask myself, none of you are allowed to come to this place again, and you will all leave in a while, and you are not allowed to care about this matter."
The subordinate hurriedly said: "Here."
As long as the subordinates who do this are restricted to ignore it for a period of time, who remembers that there are so many people coming and going in the pharmacy every day?
Dong Zunhui got down from the carriage, took a handful of copper coins into the pharmacy, bought some random things, and inquired about what Jingniang bought not long ago. That Jingniang's dress and figure were unusual, the man who fetched the medicine still remembered that when he got the money, he revealed what Jingniang bought.
There are realgar, saltpeter, etc., which are strange and weird. From the list, Dong Zunhui thinks they are materials for Taoist alchemy.
He felt a little confused for a moment, not sure whether Gao was really a Taoist priest, or was giving birth as a cover... Dong Zunhui planned to give up and ask his mother face to face when he came back.
... Bai Xiangu walked into the courtyard and met Jing Niang in a wing room. Jing Niang sat calmly on the chair and took a sip of her tea.
Bai Xiangu whispered: "Someone really went to the pharmacy to ask what medicine the Holy Aunt bought. The Holy Aunt has a great plan!"
"Who is it?" Jing Niang asked.
Bai Xiangu said: "I sent someone to follow me to have a look. It is General Dong Zunhui of the Forbidden Army."
After hearing this, Jing Niang was stunned, and said, "Don't pay attention to him."
"Yes." Fairy Bai replied, seeing that Jingniang didn't intend to speak any more, and didn't ask her why she stayed here for so long, she quickly took her leave.
Jing Niang had asked Lu Xiaoniang to prepare those medicinal materials for preventing miscarriage before picking up Mrs. Gao. In order to help Guo Shao, she had organized people to do meticulous work in dealing with Zhao Kuangyin and in the battlefields of the four prefectures of the Qin Fengcheng class;
Back in Qinfeng's arrangement, something went wrong, and the entire nunnery was massacred by the enemy. Jing Niang was very impressed, and when she did such things later, her thoughts were very meticulous.
