Chapter 201 201 Important
Chu Qianhuang was sitting alone in a pavilion by the lake feeding the fish. When she turned around and saw Chu Qianchen outside the pavilion, she couldn't hide the look of surprise on her face.
Obviously the last time she went to Prince Chen's Mansion to find Chu Qianchen, Chu Qianchen was very cold to her. He didn't even call her and treated her like a guest.
But this time, Chu Qianchen actually called her.
Chu Qianhuang looked at Chu Qianchen quietly, with a faint glow surging in Liu Ye's bottomless black eyes, and smiled slightly, "Second sister, what a coincidence."
Chu Qianchen also smiled and said, "Sister, do you mind if I sit down?"
Chu Qianhuang's doubts deepened, but she responded with a smile: "Second sister, please sit down."
After Chu Qianchen sat down, Chu Qianhuang personally poured her a cup of scented tea, "Second sister, drink tea. This 'Jupu' is Yunting Pavilion's signature tea."
The so-called "Ju Pu", as the name suggests, is to soak Pu'er with chrysanthemums.
Chu Qianchen smelled the tea, took another sip, and praised: "Good tea!"
The Pu'er is the best 50-year-old Pu'er, and the tea is tribute chrysanthemum from Xuzhou. It is naturally a good thing.
At first glance, the two sisters in the pavilion were smiling and chatting happily.
Chu Qianchen took another sip of tea gracefully and said, "I entered the palace two days ago."
Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianchen looked at each other, looking at Chu Qianchen's face that exuded a faint luster like mutton-fat white jade.
The queen announced Chu Qianchen's entry into the palace the day before yesterday. Chu Qianhuang heard from the third princess that at that time, the third princess wanted to go and play with Chu Qianchen, but was dragged away by the Taifu that morning and did not go. I was depressed all afternoon.
Chu Qianhuang could also guess that the Queen announced Chu Qianchen's intention to enter the palace. King Chen was not in the capital now, which was a great opportunity for the Queen to suppress Chu Qianchen.
If she were the queen, she would also choose to put pressure on Chu Qianchen at this time. Once is not enough, just two or three times. Chu Qianchen was just a weak woman. Facing the majestic emperor and empress, it was only a matter of time before she gave in.
"I heard your Highness the Third Princess mention it two days ago. Unfortunately, Your Highness and I finished class late and didn't have time to rush to see you."
Chu Qianhuang said regretfully, a faint light flashed across his eyes, and he looked at Chu Qianchen with a look that could not be described as regret or pity.
"The Queen..." Chu Qianchen frowned slightly, seeming to be upset about this matter.
She hesitated to speak, and her next words turned into a long sigh, feeling a little helpless and annoyed.
Chu Qianhuang comforted her gently: "The Queen has a reputation as a virtuous woman, and she is kind and sensible. Second sister, you don't have to be afraid."
Chu Qianchen lowered his eyes, hesitated for a moment, then raised his eyes again and said, "Actually, the day before yesterday, the Queen also announced that she would enter the palace with her grandmother."
Chu Qianhuang was stunned.
She only heard the third princess mention Chu Qianchen, but she didn't know that Mrs. Tai had also entered the palace that day. But after thinking about it for a moment, she understood why the queen invited Mrs. Tai. It was probably to contain Chu Qianchen.
Therefore, Chu Qianchen showed his kindness to her because he was facing enemies from both sides. He wanted to find out about the affairs of the palace from her, so as not to be caught off guard like this time in the future.
King Chen is not in the capital now, and everyone in King Chen's palace is a thorn in the emperor's side. Grandma only has the Chu family in her heart, and she will definitely not help Chu Qianchen. No wonder Chu Qianchen can only come to find herself...
Chu Qianhuang's eyes were full of meaning, revealing a detachment that could see through things without telling them.
For Chu Qianhuang, she had no ill intentions towards Shen or Chu Qianchen. It was not her intention that she and Chu Qianchen were exchanged, it was Chu Lingxiao's doing.
Now, the mystery of their life experience has been revealed, and although she is unwilling to accept it, she accepts it.
Originally, Mrs. Shen was not her biological mother, and it was only human nature to abandon her.
Moreover, she is not the real Chu Qianhuang, and neither the Chu family nor the Shen family are actually her real relatives.
Now that she has no conflict of interest with Chu Qianchen, in this case, there is no need for her to completely fall out with Chu Qianchen.
Since Chu Qianchen was willing to take the initiative to show her goodwill, Chu Qianhuang would certainly not refuse. After all, if she wanted to go to Nanhao smoothly, she might have to rely on Chu Qianchen's help in the future.
Chu Qianhuang is not afraid of others asking for her, after all, it means she is valuable.
This deal can be done.
The sun was scorching outside, filling the courtyard with brilliant sunlight, giving the flowers, trees and lakes a faint golden light.
The rockery outside the pavilion just blocks the sun, and there are lush green bamboos on the side, making the pavilion extremely quiet.
Chu Qianhuang looked at Chu Qianchen without saying a word for a while, and then smiled, with a bright smile.
"Second sister, the empress has been in a bad mood recently. I heard that the prince was punished by the emperor. The empress seemed to have caught a cold two days ago and is still bedridden. She has asked the imperial doctor to stay in Fengluan Palace."
"The Queen should not announce the second sister's entry into the palace for the time being."
Chu Qianhuang comforted Chu Qianchen softly, acting like a good sister.
Hu Bo outside the pavilion couldn't help but glance at Chu Qianhuang with a subtle expression after hearing this.
Were you sick just two days ago? Could it be that he was made sick by his own princess? Amber felt that it was very possible. With the queen's love for face, even if she was angry, she would most likely not publicize it everywhere. She probably couldn't afford to lose face.
Chu Qianchen smiled with relief, took another sip of Jupu, and asked, "Is the Queen okay? If it's cold, you can use some Jiuwei Qianghuo Decoction."
Chu Qianhuang: "..."
Chu Qianchen's long eyelashes flashed, and the corners of his big phoenix eyes were slightly raised, with water glistening. He smiled and said: "I was sent to Zhuangzi last year. There is a village, and I used to be a doctor on the road. I have nothing to do. , asked him how many medical books he had borrowed, such as "Qianjin Prescription" and "Treatise on Febrile Diseases".
Chu Qianhuang stared unblinkingly at Chu Qianchen, who was just across a stone table from her, with a hint of sharpness hidden in her eyes.
She had long been secretly guessing whether Chu Qianchen had medical skills. But after thinking about it carefully, I found it impossible. In my dream, Chu Qianchen was just an ordinary boudoir woman, just a mortal at the mercy of fate.
Now, she finally understood.
That’s how it turns out…
She remembered that Chu Qianchen had only stayed in Zhuangzi for half a year. He had read a few medical books and understood some superficial principles.
Speaking of which, Chinese medicine is not just about casually getting some herbs. Life depends on life and death. What kind of knowledge can there be?
Thinking like this, Chu Qianhuang smiled and tried again: "Second sister, your memory is really good, and you can also remember the prescriptions."
"You can remember it as long as you pay attention." Chu Qianchen said with a smile, "Some of the small remedies recorded in the medical books are very effective. They can treat wind-cold, wind-heat, headaches, burns, internal heat, etc."
Chu Qianhuang took the tea from Chu Qianchen, her eyes twinkling.
She seemed to underestimate Chu Qianchen.
In the past, she thought Chu Qianchen was introverted and unsophisticated, but now it seems that Chu Qianchen is very smooth. She knows how to lower her body to get close to her, and she also knows how to reciprocate favors quietly.
She told her some things in the palace so that she would not be so passive; she also provided a folk remedy to treat the cold so that she could show her face to the queen.
After all, how could Shen's biological daughter be such a fool? It was just that in the Hou Mansion, Chu Qianchen was helpless and knew that Aunt Jiang didn't like her, so she could only stay low and be a child.
Last time, she was so cold to her in Prince Chen's Mansion, probably because she was still angry. Now that Prince Chen is not in Beijing, she realized that her current situation was not optimistic.
It would be great if Chu Qianchen could understand his situation, then it would be much easier for them to talk.
Chu Qianhuang smiled again and showed kindness again: "I will talk to the third princess after I return to the palace."
It means that she accepted Chu Qianchen's kindness.
The two sisters smiled tacitly at each other, and the atmosphere seemed more harmonious.
Amber was on the outside and knew Chu Qianchen's temperament. She could clearly see the undercurrent between the sisters. She watched helplessly as Chu Qianhuang was tricked by Chu Qianchen in just a few words.
August is the day when sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant. The golden osmanthus not far away is in full bloom, and clusters of golden flowers are piled on the branches like snow. When the wind blows, the fragrance of the flowers blows towards the pavilion, and there are also pieces Golden petals.
Occasionally, one or two nail-sized petals fell on Chu Qianchen's shoulders. Chu Qianchen brushed them away casually. She didn't like the overly rich aroma of osmanthus.
Chu Qianchen wrinkled his nose and frowned slightly.
The beauty frowned in a charming manner.
Chu Qianchen covered his nose with a handkerchief, glanced at Jiang Yuan who had appeared outside the pavilion at some point, and suddenly changed the subject: "Sister, the scent of osmanthus here is too strong. It makes people dizzy. Let's go to the front." Let’s sit in the teahouse for a while.”
Chu Qianhuang laughed.
She had the memory of the original owner, so she remembered that Chu Qianchen didn't like overly strong floral fragrances since he was a child, and the fragrance of osmanthus was one of them.
However, in the past, Chu Qianchen would only endure silently and would never take the initiative to complain.
After all, today is different from the past.
Chu Qianhuang thought this in her heart, and stood up with a smile, like an eldest sister doting on her younger sister, "Let's go."
The sisters walked out of the pavilion, and the oncoming sunlight made Chu Qianchen squint his eyes in discomfort.
Amber knew that Chu Qianchen had gone to bed late last night to read medical books. If he hadn't drank some refreshing tea before going out, he would have been drowsy now. Amber had already prepared an umbrella and immediately opened it to block Chu Qianchen from the sun.
The oil-paper umbrella cast a shallow shadow on Chu Qianchen's body. The fourteen-year-old girl stood tall and graceful. Her hair was as black as ink, her skin was as white as snow, and her face was as beautiful as Shunhua. The huge oil-paper umbrella made her already slender figure stand out. She added a bit of tenderness.
"Big sister."
Chu Qianchen wanted to invite Chu Qianhuang to come under the umbrella, but he saw Chu Qianhuang smile heartily, "I don't have to."
The two sisters walked together to the teahouse facing the street.
Along the way, Chu Qianchen told Chu Qianhuang some interesting folk remedies. For example, if you have a headache, you can put two drops of raw radish juice into your nostrils, twice a day. For example, if you have indigestion, you can fry chicken skin and grind it into powder before eating. Before taking it, drink it with sugar water and so on.
While talking, the two of them came to the door of the dining room on the second floor of the teahouse. When Chu Qianchen entered, he said casually: "I still remember that one of the books I read is called "Lin's Difficult Classic". This medical book is recorded in I invented a formula for incense that can be made into a sachet, which is very effective for Qiniang’s absence disorder.”
Chu Qianchen had said so much to Chu Qianhuang before, but it was only now that he got to the point.
"..." Chu Qianhuang paused outside the seating area, his eyes flashed, and then he also entered the seating area.
The two sisters sat down in the booth by the window. After the maid of Yunting Pavilion gave the sisters a new pot of Jupu, she closed the door and retreated.
The private seats on the second floor have a great view, and you can see the street outside through the open windows.
The streets are full of people coming and going, and the constant flow makes this elegant seat even more peaceful and comfortable.
Chu Qianhuang looked directly at Chu Qianchen and asked, "Second sister, have you visited Qiniang?"
She used a questioning tone, but her expression was very certain.
"Yes." Chu Qianchen nodded calmly and took another sip of tea, "I came out of the palace the day before yesterday and stopped by to see my mother. Only then did I find out about Qiniang, so I went to the Prince's Mansion with my mother to visit. Qiniang saw She's lost weight, but she's much better. Both my aunt and my mother said it was thanks to you going to Wuwei Temple to get the talisman water for her."
Chu Qianchen observed every subtle change in Chu Qianhuang's expression without leaving any trace.
The day before yesterday, she checked Gu Zhiyan's pulse and found out that there was a residual medicinal property in Gu Zhiyan's body. This medicinal property could make people calm and stable, but also make people unresponsive.
And she was certain that this medicine was unlike any other medicine she had ever known.
The world is vast, and there are countless medicinal herbs that have not yet been discovered. As far as Chu Qianchen knows, those remote tribes often have their own unique folk remedies, which they can verify after countless experiments in the place where they live. The medicinal properties and therapeutic effects of these herbs.
In order to find out what kind of medicine this was, Chu Qianchen asked Jiang Yuan to go to Wuweiguan in disguise and ask for a bowl of Talisman Water. As a result, after she tasted the Talisman Water, she found that it was ordinary and Nothing special.
Chu Qianchen has not been idle these two days.
She checked medical books again and recalled her master's medical practice notes that she had read in her previous life, but she had no clue.
The only clue is Chu Qianhuang.
Chu Qianhuang blinked quickly, then lowered his eyes, avoiding Chu Qianchen's gaze.
While picking up the white porcelain tea cup in front of her, she said lightly: "I also accidentally heard someone from Fengluan Palace talk about how Taoist Zhixuan cured the third princess, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. Qiniang can Okay, I’m relieved.”
"Taoist Master Zhixuan really deserves his reputation." Chu Qianhuang said with emotion.
Chu Qianchen looked at the cup in Chu Qianhuang's hand. The other person's fingers slightly rubbed the white porcelain cup, as if toying with it, before bringing it to his lips.
Chu Qianchen smiled slightly, with undercurrents in his eyes.
In her previous life, the prince once told her that a person's expressions and small movements often reveal his true thoughts.
Unless they are some specially trained dead soldiers, ordinary people often have some special performances when they lie, such as faster blinking and an increase in small movements.
Therefore, Chu Qianhuang was probably lying.
Chu Qianchen chuckled lightly, his bright phoenix eyes curved into two crescent moons, revealing a bit of liveliness and playfulness unique to a girl.
Chu Qianhuang had never seen Chu Qianchen like this before and was stunned.
Chu Qianchen smiled and said: "In the past, I always thought that elixirs and talisman water were useless, but now seeing Qiniang using this talisman water, she feels much better. I also want to go to Wuwei to watch some other day. look."
"I once read in "Lin's Difficult Sutra" that a medicine called Kuidan can calm the mind and calm the mind. Could it be that the talisman water from Taoist Master Zhixuan also has the same effect?"
Chu Qianhuang also smiled, "I don't know medical skills either, maybe."
Chu Qianchen noticed that Chu Qianhuang subconsciously shrugged his shoulders while speaking, which meant that he disapproved of it.
In other words, Chu Qianhuang should also know that the talisman water is ineffective.
Then, Chu Qianhuang should have added some medicinal materials to Fu Shui, and it was a medicine that was not recorded in any medical books she had read in her two lives.
How did Chu Qianhuang, who grew up in the capital and never practiced medicine, know this medicinal material?
Chu Qianhuang must have had some adventure as she had guessed before.
I don’t know what kind of incense is being smoked in the elegant seats, but a faint fragrance floats around.
Chu Qianchen took a sip of tea, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly like a smile.
Suddenly there was a noise in the street outside, and several people came beating gongs and drums. Two of them were holding a plaque in their hands, and the four characters "Xuan Hu Ji Shi" were clearly written on the plaque.
Such a big movement immediately attracted many people to watch on the road, and some good people followed those holding the plaques.
A loud-voiced woman in green asked excitedly: "Where are these people beating gongs and drums going?"
"Does this need to be said?! The plaque says 'Xuan Hu Ji Shi', he must have gone to Ji Shi Tang!" Another young man said matter-of-factly.
"Hey, with such a big battle, it must be that the miracle doctor from Jishi Hall saved someone's life, right?" Another old woman said, "This family looks familiar to me..."
"That's right! Isn't this Mr. Yang's family!" The loud-voiced woman in Tsing Yi finally remembered and excitedly hammered her left palm with her right fist, "I remember that Mr. Yang's wife had a wooden stick stuck in her eye. Great, Mr. Yang didn’t believe in the ability of the miracle doctor at first and insisted on sending the patient to another hospital. As a result, his mother-in-law almost died, but it was Mr. Yang who knelt down and begged the miracle doctor to save her from death. return…"
The woman in green clothes spoke vividly to the passers-by around her. Most of the words were true and the other half were made up. The others listened with interest.
Chu Qianchen also looked down at the people holding plaques outside the window, with his eyes half lowered, he said casually: "I have also heard about this. The injured woman had a wooden stick stuck in one eye, and later she still The people from Jishitang took out the wooden stick and used stitches to sew up the wound."
On the surface, Chu Qianchen seemed to mention it casually and casually, but in fact, his heartbeat accelerated slightly, and he was paying attention to Chu Qianhuang from the corner of his eye.
Chu Qianhuang probably used a medicinal material for Gu Zhiyan that even he and his master Lin Miao didn't know about, and this medicine was indeed somewhat effective. Judging from her reaction after giving Gu Zhiyan acupuncture, this medicine It shouldn't do much harm.
Chu Qianchen guessed that Chu Qianhuang might also know something about medical skills, just like some small tribes had witch doctors, and the medicinal materials and treatment methods used were somewhat different from the medical skills in the Central Plains.
Out of an intuition, Chu Qianchen felt that Chu Qianhuang should know more than just the medicinal materials she added to the talisman water. She might also know some other things, such as...
Sutures.
Everything was just a guess by Chu Qianchen. Even if it was only 50% or 60%, it was still worthy of her going out of her way to "encounter" Chu Qianhuang.
If she wanted to take out the broken blade from the prince's chest, the wound would be at least three inches long. She needed a better suture!
"Sutures?" Chu Qianhuang's eyebrows raised slightly and his eyes widened.
This is a look of surprise. Chu Qianchen pursed his lips, his left hand under the table curled up nervously in his sleeve, and his right hand was still resting on the table leisurely.
She could probably tell that the surprise on Chu Qianhuang's face was not fright, but a sense of surprise, as if she knew about sutures, but she didn't expect to hear the word from her own mouth. .
Bang bang bang!
Chu Qianchen's heart beat faster.
Chu Qianhuang also looked at the street. The Yang family holding a plaque had already walked to the entrance of Jishi Hall in front. They thanked the people in Jishi Hall so much that they almost knelt down again.
Chu Qianhuang was indeed surprised.
She originally thought that ancient Chinese medicine only used some herbs, acupuncture and massage, and the most it could do was cut off the sores. According to Chu Qianchen, the method of treating eye injuries by the miracle doctor Ji Shitang was somewhat similar to Western medicine. Feel.
After a brief surprise, she calmed down. Also, there was Hua Tuotong's craniotomy technique in ancient times.
Chu Qianchen's face was filled with a bright smile, "Sister, do you think it's interesting too? After I heard about it two days ago, I asked Amber to go to Jishi Hall to inquire about it. He said that the miracle doctor used silk thread to That woman sutured the wound. This man’s skin can be sutured with needles and thread.”
"It turns out that silk thread can suture wounds." Chu Qianhuang tilted his head, with a bit of interest and a bit of sigh, but no longer surprised.
Chu Qianchen noticed the subtle change in her expression and added, "I heard that the stitches will be removed after the wound heals."
She suppressed the excitement in her heart and knew that her previous guess was correct. Nine times out of ten, Chu Qianhuang really knew something about suturing.
Chu Qianchen's hand hidden under the table made a quick gesture to Amber.
Hu Bo immediately understood and sang along with Chu Qianchen in a tacit understanding: "Miss, I went to Jishi Hall to inquire before. The guy there said that the miracle doctor stabbed people's eyes with embroidery needles, and he was so scared that he didn't even I dare to look at it. When the sutures were removed, it was so painful that the patient screamed like he was killing a pig. The eyes were really saved!"
Amber deliberately exaggerated a bit, pretending that she had inquired about it.
At the end, she sighed with emotion: "I thought this guy was making it up before, but now seeing that this family came here to deliver the plaque, it seems to be true."
Chu Qianchen's eyebrows were slightly raised, her face was full of smile, and she was delicate and soft. She said with great interest: "The doctor used silk thread to suture the wound. It feels like an embroiderer."
Chu Qianhuang was amused by her, thinking that those medical students had to practice inserting needles, tying knots during surgery, and found it interesting.
She said matter-of-factly: "Yes, she looks like the embroiderer."
"Embroidery work is a delicate job, and so is suturing wounds. The silk is extremely fine, so it's not an option."
Chu Qianchen silently chewed the implication of "a choice" in his heart.
Bang bang bang!
Chu Qianchen's eyes deepened a little more, and he smiled and said: "The embroiderer can use silk thread, cotton thread, woolen thread, gold thread, silver thread... You can also use other threads to sew wounds, right? Amber, you go to Jishi Hall Ask."
"Yes, Princess." Amber immediately accepted the order and exited the seat.
Chu Qianchen retracted her gaze from the window and casually picked up a candied apricot to eat. The apricot was sour and sweet, and she curled her lips with satisfaction.
"Sister, this candied apricot meat tastes good, you should try it too." Chu Qianchen stretched out a slender jade finger and pointed at one of the candied fruits, "Qiniang will definitely like it too. Next time I go to visit her, Bring her two boxes."
Chu Qianhuang also picked up a candied apricot, but she didn't eat it directly. Instead, she threw it into the cup of chrysanthemum in her hand. "It has a different flavor when you eat it like this."
The two sisters chatted casually. At the same time, Hu Huo trotted out of Yunting Pavilion, walked along for a while, and came to the entrance of Jishi Hall.
At this time, the Yang family had left after delivering the plaque, and the entrance to Jishi Hall became empty again. Therefore, from the angle where Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang were, they could see a clerk from Jishi Hall enthusiastically greeting them at a glance. Amber was entertained.
The guy quickly called Dr. Liu. Hu Bo took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into Dr. Liu. After the two talked, Hu Bo left Jishi Hall and hurried back to Yunting Pavilion. Edge is back.
Amber returned to the booth after a while, panting slightly because she was walking in a hurry.
"Princess, my slave asked about it. The doctor said that there are silk threads, silver threads, cotton threads, and mulberry threads... what are the mulberry threads." Amber looked like she was thinking hard, "By the way, it seems to be mulberry thread."
"Slave, remember that there is still silver thread... and..."
Amber frowned, her words were a little garbled, and she said "Silver Thread" repeatedly.
Chu Qianhuang saw the word "Sichuan" wrinkled between her eyebrows, so he said casually: "Gut string?"
Xiao Qianchen is just for the prince.
