Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

"Help me prepare a length of charcoal, preferably as thick as a little finger."

After thinking about it, Ling Jingxuan raised his head and said while gesticulating. At this time, the gap between ancient times and modern times is revealed. Modern ballpoint pens are a few blocks away from brushes.

"Okay, sir, do you have any other orders?"

The shopkeeper's enthusiasm turned to enthusiasm. With Ling Jingxuan's shrewdness, he still saw a little doubt in his eyes. With a sneer at the corner of his mouth, Ling Jingxuan glanced at him lazily, and walked over him to the big man holding the child: "Take the child to the room first, Remember to cleanse him first, and then ask the staff to wipe his body with alcohol to cool down, and after the medicine is ready to take, he can go home within three days at most."

"Yes yes yes... Thank you, the divine doctor."

The man quickly said yes, and under the leadership of the clerk, the couple took the children to the backyard together. After the clerk found the charcoal he asked for, Ling Jingxuan sat at the table and began to write like flying ink. After a while, three The list is ready.

"This is a prescription for treating dizziness. Three bowls of water are boiled into one bowl. Take it three times a day, and the effect will be seen after three days. After taking it for seven days, you will be cured. The other two are the medicinal materials I need. Each prescription takes ten days. medicine."

Handing the written prescription to the shopkeeper, Ling Jingxuan ordered casually.

"Isn't this prescription the same as Chengqi Decoction?"

The shopkeeper took the prescription and glanced at it, and couldn't help but asked in doubt, the suspicion in his eyes was even worse, Ling Jingxuan rolled his eyes weakly: "Open your eyes and see clearly, in addition to the prescription of Chengqi Decoction, I also added Scutellaria baicalensis Radix Scrophulariae and Radix Glycyrrhiza, etc. are medicinal materials for purging the pathogenic heat in the lung meridian."

Big head wind is originally caused by wind evil entering the body. The treatment is actually very simple, just add two herbs to Chengqi Decoction, but most people will treat it as ordinary wind cold, and it will be difficult to save it after the condition worsens.

Seeing that he seemed impatient, the shopkeeper didn't dare to ask any more questions, and with the attitude of a dead horse as a living horse doctor, he ordered the clerk to take the prescription to get the medicine and boil it, while he himself helped Ling Jingxuan pick up the medicinal materials he needed .

"My lord, these are the herbs you need."

About a quarter of an hour later, the shopkeeper put a few bunches of packaged herbs in front of him, but Ling Jingxuan didn't check it, put down his teacup and asked casually, "How much?"

One of the two prescriptions was actually a prescription to prevent a bad head. Just in case, he decided to let everyone in the family drink some, so this was beyond his budget. There are leftovers.

"No, there is no need for money. Thank you, Young Master, for saving us today. No matter whether the child can be cured or not, I must thank Young Master. These medicines should be my reward."

The shopkeeper waved his hands again and again, although until now he still doubted his medical skills.

"Thank you very much. After the child's fever symptoms are relieved, remember to use lime water to disinfect outside the yard where he lives. All the things he has passed and used must be cremated. If other people are infected, you can treat them with that prescription Bar."

As he said that, Ling Jingxuan brought up the medicine and was about to leave. Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly stepped forward to block him. Facing his suspicious gaze, the shopkeeper rubbed his hands embarrassedly: "Master, excuse me for being rude, is that child really a plague?"

"If you don't believe it, you can drive the three of them out."

He stopped, and the ridicule in Danfeng's eyes was no longer concealed. The shopkeeper is an old doctor in his 50s and [-]s. Let him say it so bluntly. How can I believe him?

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper had no choice but to suppress the shame and embarrassment, bowed his hands together and said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, my lord. I don't mean to believe you. Since you can tell the child's illness, the prescription will definitely be right. , It's just, that... the old man just said it straight, I must have seen it just now, there are too many people watching outside, this matter will soon reach the ears of the county magistrate, and the uncontrollable emotion will spread outwards, The Yamen must send troops to isolate this place, or even isolate the entire Datong Town, so I want to have the cheek to ask you for a prescription to prevent the epidemic, please forgive me."

What the shopkeeper said was reasonable and well-founded, but Ling Jingxuan could tell that he was just afraid that he would also be infected with the plague. Although this is human nature, asking him to pay for his life would be a bit too high on him. If he For such a kind person, it was impossible for him to travel around the world in his previous life and rank among the top killers.

"It's not that there are no prescriptions, it depends on the sincerity of the shopkeeper."

Sweeping away the previous coldness, Ling Jingxuan's lips curled up, and he sat down nearby with his legs crossed, looking at him meaningfully with his narrow and slightly hooked Danfeng eyes.

The shopkeeper's eyelids twitched, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably: "My lord, please bid."

"Cheerful! I just like a straightforward person like you. How about it, for the sake of the folks in the ten miles and eight villages, the price is ten taels of silver!"

Ling Jingxuan snapped his fingers in a handsome manner, with a smile on his face, hehe...he is not blackmailing, you know, in the past, he might not be able to save someone if he was offered a lot of money in front of him, besides, life is always more important than money Importantly, the shopkeeper can spend ten taels of silver not only to buy peace of mind for his own life, but also to sell it to others at a moderate and low price. The so-called small profit but quick turnover, he will not lose money, and he can also earn a good name.

"Okay, just ten taels of silver."

The shopkeeper is also shrewd. If Ling Jingxuan can think of it, he can naturally think of it. Although ten taels of silver is expensive, it is still within the range he can accept. The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and agreed, but he felt a little bit unhappy up.

"Pay with one hand and deliver with one hand."

As he said that, Ling Jingxuan pulled out one of the prescriptions in the medicine bag in front of him. The shopkeeper reacted instantly, his eyes widened, and he almost vomited old blood. It turned out that one of the prescriptions he grabbed just now was to prevent the epidemic , had known...

Money is hard to buy, I knew it earlier, the shopkeeper had no choice but to take out a ten tael silver bill from his arms and hand it to him in frustration, and at the same time took the prescription like a hot potato.

"Hehe...thanks!"

Glancing at the name of Daqing Tongdui on the bank note, Ling Jingxuan shook the thin paper as if showing off when he passed him. By the time he heard his name, he had long since disappeared from the shop.

"Ugh……"

The shopkeeper looked down at the prescription in his hand, and sighed deeply. After living for dozens of years, he was cheated by a young man who seemed to be at most [-] years old.

It's just that there is no time to make him depressed. Not long after Ling Jingxuan left, a large number of guests poured into the Peace Hall, most of them were passers-by who had been watching the excitement at close range. They all came to buy medicines to prevent the plague. In less than an hour, he earned back the ten taels of silver he spent, but that night, as he expected, the county yamen servant really came, and he had to donate the prescription, although he did not No matter how much money he made, it also earned him a reputation as a skilled hand and benevolent heart.

A plague that was too late to break out was resolved in such a dramatic situation. Many years later, whenever the county magistrate Hu, who was exceptionally promoted because of his success in preventing the plague and other achievements, recalled this incident, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Ling Jingxuan gave a thumbs up to his medical skills, but at that time, he was no longer the poor boy he is today, but the number one rich businessman in Daqing, the feared number one poisonous concubine of the royal family!

Of course, that's all for later, Ling Jingxuan didn't know what happened afterwards, even if he knew, he would probably just laugh it off, right?What he wanted was never a good reputation.

When the big and small returned to the fish market, Ling Jingpeng had already sold out the remaining two barrels of fish, and all the things they bought from various shops were also delivered. On the bullock cart of Zhao Dalong's family, the two buns saw Tie Wazi running up happily, and the three of them got together and exchanged what they saw and heard today.

"Why do you buy so many medicines? Are they all for the second brother?"

Seeing them from a distance, Ling Jingpeng went up to meet them, and took the initiative to take the large bunch of medicine packages from Ling Jingxuan's hand.

"No, we ate part of it ourselves. I'll tell you the details later."

Throwing him a smile, Ling Jingxuan walked side by side with him to Zhao Dalong and his wife standing beside the bullock cart: "Brother Zhao, Brother Han, I will trouble you again."

"Look at what you said, what's the trouble? Have you bought everything you want?"

Han Fei was still cheerful and enthusiastic. He bent over and carried the children into the car while talking. Ling Jingxuan nodded with a smile. A group of people climbed into the bullock cart one after another. When passing by the meat stall, Ling Jingxuan suddenly jumped out of the car and strode over. .

"Boss, how do you sell this meat?"

"Ten cents a catty for lean meat, fifteen cents for fat meat, can I have some?"

As soon as the owner of the meat stall saw the business coming, he hurriedly greeted him warmly. Before Ling Jingxuan could open his mouth, the big steamed stuffed bun hurried over: "Father, why are you spending money so recklessly? We almost spent all the money we earned today. you also……"

"Stop, Xiaowen, come here."

If you let him keep on talking, they don't have to go home. Ling Jingxuan forcibly interrupted him, beckoning him to lean over, the big bun looked at him suspiciously, and walked into his arms shyly after a long while, Ling Jingxuan leaned He whispered in his ear what happened at the pharmacy just now. Of course, his main point was that he had earned another ten taels of silver, and it was time for them to fight teeth.

"real?!"

Xiao Xiaojian's eyebrows were tightly frowned, Big Baozi obviously didn't trust him very much, and he couldn't be blamed for that, after all, in his short five-year life, he had never seen such easy money, the previous two liang of silver was worthless. Let him cry a lot, not to mention the current ten taels of silver?For him, this amount of money is undoubtedly astronomical.

"Really, so let's spend a little bit of luxury, don't you want to taste the meat?"

It is rare to have such an opportunity to taste the taste of meat, how could Ling Jingxuan give up so easily?

Ling Wen followed his gaze to look at the meat on the table, swallowed with difficulty, and after a while he said awkwardly and painfully: "Then shall we buy some?"

How can a child not be greedy?No matter how stingy and precocious Ling Wen is, he is still just a brat.
