Xiangsheng prosperous

Chapter 15 fruitless
Early the next morning, Qiu Mo and Su Xi secretly met at the side door of the backyard where no one passed by while the servants of the Qiu family were busy in the front yard.

In fact, Qiu Mo only learned about the specific situation of Su Qian's family after Su Qian left Qiu's private school.

The Su family has harvested and processed medicinal materials for generations, and their research on medicinal materials is more profound than that of ordinary doctors.

The Su family has two sons and a daughter, and above Su Qian, there are two elder brothers.One was Su Xian, the second elder brother who took over the medicinal material business at home, and the other went to the imperial court in the second year of Xianqing, and with the consent of Tang Gaozong, compiled the world's first pharmacopoeia officially promulgated by the state "Tang The editor-in-chief of Materia Medica: Su Jing.

After learning that Susie's eldest brother was the main editor of the famous "Tang Materia Medica", Qiu Mo felt like she had won a big prize.

"Miss Su, these are all the prescriptions and their corresponding medicinal residues that my mother took half a year before her death." Qiu Mo handed over a stack of neatly arranged prescriptions and six separately packaged oiled paper packets. susie.

Ever since her mother's symptoms worsened, Qiu Mo subconsciously copied every prescription that was prescribed.Even the dregs of the medicinal materials, there is a copy of each prescription.

"Okay, I'll take it back and show it to my second brother. If the second brother can't see the problem, I'll ask my elder brother to look at it for you again when he comes back." Susie took all the things carefully, carefully Put it in your backpack.

"I'll leave everything to you!" Qiu Mo held Susie's hands with a sincere expression.

Susie patted the back of her hand lightly, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I will notify you as soon as I have any news!"

Qiu Mo looked at Su Qian gratefully: "That's very good."

Susie said again: "Then I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, she saluted Qiu Mo and left the side gate of Qiu Mansion first.

A few more days passed.In the afternoon, Qiu Mo was packing spices to dry in the small yard.Shuang Han suddenly rushed over excitedly, and shouted to Qiu Mo: "My lady! My lady! There is news!"

Qiu Mo stood up abruptly, and Shuang Han threw herself into her arms, and stuffed the small piece of paper that had been in her hand into Qiu Mo's hand.

Qiu Mo unfolded the piece of paper, and saw that it said: "Tomorrow afternoon, chat at Zhang's Restaurant." After reading it, she crumpled the piece of paper into a small ball, put it in her mouth and swallowed it.

The next day, when the master took a rest, Qiu Mo brought the newly prepared Siwuxiang to greet Mrs. Tian, ​​and reported today's itinerary: in the afternoon, I need to go to Liu's Iron Shop to check the progress of the distillation device.

In front of all the servants, Lady Tian praised Qiu Mo's understanding and courtesy, and readily agreed to her request to go out.She also rewarded Qiu Mo with ten coins and asked her to buy some snacks when she went out.

Qiu Mo naturally thanked her with a bow, took the money and left pretending to be happy.

Not long after, the two beautiful figures left from the main entrance of Qiu's house.I saw Qiu Mo wearing a skirt, which was as long as her ankles, covering her whole body, and only the plain color of the skirt could be vaguely seen; while the other was wearing a skirt of the same color, with double buns. Han.

The two traveled together until they entered the West Market, and when they approached the corner of the alley where Liu's Iron Shop was located, their footsteps suddenly accelerated, and they flashed into the alley.

A man dressed as a servant followed by two girls hurriedly chased him to the corner of the alley.When he saw them stepping into the door of Liu's Iron Shop together, the servant felt relieved.He has been guarding the entrance of the alley, observing the movement in the store.She also walked past the door from time to time to see if Qiu Mo, who was wearing a hood, was still in the store.

At this time, Qiu Mo and Shuang Han, who had already exchanged, had already pretended to check the production details in Liu's iron shop, and the other slipped out through the back door and went to Zhang's restaurant.

Qiu Mo ran quickly to Zhang's Restaurant, and as soon as she stepped up to the second floor of the hotel, she saw Su Qian waving to her at the door of the box.

She hurried over to Susie, and then she lifted the curtain and entered with her.Besides the two of them, there was another man kneeling and sitting in the box.Seeing Qiu Mo coming in, he got up and bowed to Qiu Mo.

"Third lady, this is my second brother, Su Xian Su Lihong." Su Qian introduced to Qiu Mo.

"I met the second brother of the Su family." Qiu Mo solemnly crossed his hands to Su Xian.

Su Erlang quickly returned the gift, and then motioned for everyone to sit down and talk about the topic.

"Miss Qiu San is short on time, so I won't beat around the bush. I have read the prescription and the medicine residue. Based on my experience, there is no problem with the medicine."

When Qiu Mo saw Su Xian say that, her anticipation and nervousness suddenly sank down.In fact, she should have known it a long time ago, right? The uncle personally prescribed the medicine for the mother, and the medicinal materials were also caught by Zishan Chuntang.Now even the medicinal residues have been seen by the second brother of the Su family, saying that there is no problem.Is it true that the mother's life is as thin as paper, and the beauty is lifeless?
"But..." Second Brother Su's next sentence lifted Qiu Mo's mood again.

"Your mother's illness, if you take the medicine as it was half a year ago, and the amount and quality of the medicine are as shown in the dregs of the medicine. Even if it cannot be completely cured, it is impossible to deteriorate so quickly. It's so unreasonable... I'm as puzzled as you are about this."

What Su Jia Erlang said just happened to speak to Qiu Mo's heart.In the past, Qiu Mo was suspicious because she felt that the course of the disease was developing too fast.Could it be that the reason is not in the mother's prescription, but in other places?
Seeing Qiu Mo's silence, Su Qian wanted to explain her a few words: "Miss Qiu, my second brother has seen the prescription and the dregs of the medicine. But my elder brother hasn’t seen it yet. When my elder brother comes back from his travels, we’ll show him again, maybe he will have a different opinion, and then we’ll summarize everyone’s opinions to see where the problem might be.”

Su Xian also echoed: "Yes, yes, my little sister is right! Brother is well-informed, and he can definitely see the details that I don't know. Don't be discouraged, maybe you can learn from your mother's previous life. Habits, dietary preferences, etc., ask the servants who served her before to see if there are any clues."

Qiu Mo looked at the two children of the Su family gratefully, and said, "Thank you very much, I will not give up looking for clues."

"Okay, don't worry, let's look for it together!" Susie held Qiu Mo and said with a smile.

Qiu Mo took a few deep breaths to calm down.Then he stood up, bid farewell to the two, and left Zhang's Restaurant.

Using the same method, Qiu Mo successfully slipped back to Liu's Iron Shop.It was only a quarter of an hour since she left, so she didn't attract the attention of the watchers outside the door at all.Immediately afterwards, the two girls stepped out of the iron shop, quickly avoided the eyes and ears and returned to the house, and then returned to the Qiu Mansion with ease.
