Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 63 Li Bing wrote a letter asking for life pills
On the 29th of the year, the sky in Liuyang County was gloomy, and it snowed lightly at night.

At dawn the next day, with Li Bing's handwritten letter in his arms, Li Laoshi rushed from the kitchen all the way to the back door, pushing a wheelbarrow full of food.

A tall Taoist priest in Taoist robes stood in the snow and walked towards Li Laoshi quickly.

Li Laoshi said apologetically, "Daoist Wang Feng, I kept you waiting."

"It's okay. I've only been here for a while." Taoist Wangfeng smiled on his black face, and his teeth were as white as snow.

The two exchanged wheelbarrows, jogged on the thinly icy road, and arrived at the entrance of Qujia Village in less than an hour.

"Father!" "Brother!" Li Qubing, Li Yunxiao, and Li Yunqing had been waiting at the entrance of the village for a quarter of an hour, and happily went up to greet them.

Li Yunqing saluted and said, "Hi Taoist."

Wang Feng recognized Li Yunqing, reached out and patted the young boy's shoulder, the sadness in his eyes flashed.If his son is still alive, he will be older than Li Yunqing.

Red couplets are pasted on the doors of every house, red paper-cuts are pasted on the windows, the strong smell of meat is wafting in the yard, the sporadic sound of firecrackers and the innocent laughter of the children make the village full of New Year flavor.

Li Yunqing passed by Qu Yi's house, and went in to say hello to Qu Yu.

When Wang Feng arrived at Li's house and drank a cup of hot tea, he felt the strong and happy family atmosphere, and expressed his envy for Li Laoshi frankly.

The He family sent Li Jingjing to invite Qu Yu here on the pretext of asking for advice on making cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles.

Li Jingjing took a sachet, carried by Wang Lian to Qu Yi's house, saw Qu Yu wearing a slanted bun, wearing only a fish-shaped mahogany hairpin, wearing a peach red hip-length coat and a light blue skirt, With a plain face, she looks better than usual, but it is not enough to make people look bright, and she secretly praises her mother for taking care of things like a god.

She took out a pink hibiscus silk flower from the sachet, asked Qu Yu to pick the wooden hairpin, put the silk flower on, and took out a box of brand new rouge for Qu Yu to paint on her lips.

Qu Yi, who was standing aside, opened his eyes wide and praised, "Auntie, you are so beautiful."

Qu Yu took a pair of semi-finished mille-ply bottom children's shoes, and walked out the door feeling apprehensive under the expectant eyes of the family.

A gossip woman from the Qu clan was taking out the trash outside the yard, and when she saw Qu Yu, who was a little prettier than before, she immediately sent her little girl to follow behind to have a look.

Li Jingjing stopped and waited for Xiao Yazi to come and said: "Go back and tell your mother that my mother asked Aunt Yu to learn how to make shoes."

Qu Yu entered the main room of Li's family, just took a look at Taoist Feng, then lowered her head in shame and low self-esteem.

He asked Qu Yu to sit aside and asked a few questions about shoe making.At first, Qu Yu's voice was like a mosquito's voice, but gradually his voice became more natural.

Qu's asked Li Jingjing to ask Qu Yu to go to the kitchen to help cook a few dishes.

Before lunch, Qu Yu took the children's shoes with a thousand-layer bottom and left. Four cold and eight hot dishes were placed on the table of the eight immortals in the Li family hall. They are all handicrafts of Miss Yu.”

Qu Yu's culinary skills are certainly not comparable to Qu's, but they are much better than the cooks in Taiqingguan Kitchen.

He Shi had long told the Li family not to say that Qu Yu's dishes were not tasty at the dinner table.

Li Jingjing specially warned Li Yunxiao that if he said something he shouldn't say, his grandma, parents, and brother would not give him the New Year's Eve money.

Taoist Wangfeng was more satisfied with Qu Yu when he heard Qu Shi and Li Laoshi praised the delicious food.

After lunch, only Qu Shi, Li Laoshi and Taoist Wangfeng were left in the main room.

Only then did Qu's tell the story of Qu Yu being abandoned by her husband's family because she was not pregnant for five years.

Taoist Wangfeng sighed repeatedly, and said bluntly: "Looking at her, she is a good person. It's okay to be divorced, but it's a pity that she can't have children."

Qu Shi quietly left the main room according to He Shi's instructions in advance.

Li Laoshi said in a low voice: "To be honest, her nephew was seriously ill a few days ago. The priest saw her nephew and took her pulse. He said that she was as healthy as a young girl, and suspected that her ex-husband had something wrong."

Taoist Wangfeng was startled for a moment, and then he said pleasantly: "I'll go ask the temple master right now, if it really happens, I'll go to her house to propose marriage within five days."

Li Laoshi said with a smile: "Getting married is a big deal, you have to think about it."

"It's New Year's Eve, so I won't disturb your family reunion. Farewell." Taoist Wang Feng cupped his hands in thanks and left in a hurry.

Li Laoshi asked Mrs. He to invite Mrs. Qu into the bedroom, took out Li Bing's handwritten letter and read it word by word.

"Qu Bing, study hard, and take the scientific examination in two years."

"Yun Qing learns how to behave in the temple, go home to be filial to her elders, and love her younger siblings."

"Muxiu Yu Lin Feng must urge her, granddaughter Jingjing must remember not to make new medicines frequently, one or two a year is enough, new medicines are only sold to Taoism for the time being, too many sellers will easily lead to conflicts and disasters. If there is a life-saving pill , Make a few for grandpa."

"I will go back to reunite with you this Mid-Autumn Festival."

The letter consisted of two pages. This time, Li Jingjing was mentioned for the first time, and the exact time of returning home was mentioned for the first time.

Li Laoshi handed the letter to Mrs. Qu, and took out an envelope containing the bank note from the pocket of his underwear, and said, "Mother, this is the 500 taels of silver note that father brought you."

He frowned and said, "Go and call Miss Jing."

When Li Jingjing came to the bedroom, Qu Shi directly handed the letter to her.

He Shi said solemnly: "How many life-saving pills do you have, take them all out, and let your father send them out together with the reply letter today."

Qu's heart tightened, and he asked, "Sister Yi, what did you see from your father's letter?"

He Shi considered his words carefully, and said slowly: "Mother, when we wrote to Dad a few months ago, we mentioned the matter of sister Jing becoming a pharmacist, but Dad didn't mention this matter in the previous two replies."

Qu Shi nodded.

He Shi said: "This time, Dad asked for a few life-saving pills specifically when he talked about Jingmeizi Pharmaceutical. He must be fine. He just owes someone a favor and wants to repay it."

Qu Shi made sense after thinking about it, and he is also used to listening to He Shi when he encounters things he doesn't understand, without the slightest suspicion, he said anxiously: "Sister Jing, your grandfather hasn't asked for anything from the family for decades, this time it must be urgent. .”

Li Laoshi just looked at his daughter expectantly.

"I'm going to take a look at the pharmacy. You just wait." Li Jingjing ran out of the bedroom and said to herself: In the letter my father wrote to my grandfather before, it only said that I became a pharmacist, not about selling medicines. Taoism sells newly prepared medicines, how do I know I have life-saving pills?

She thought about He's expression when he spoke, and felt that He must know something that Qu's didn't.

She closed the door of the medicine room tightly and entered the Rejuvenation Medicine Mansion.

There are already two medicine field mountains and one medicine beast mountain here.There are more than one hundred kinds of medicinal herbs planted in Yaotian Mountain.Now the largest medicine animal in Medicine Beast Mountain is nine buffaloes.
