Chapter 136

General Huo, are you three years old?

On the way back, Shen Qingru had nothing to do, so she chatted with Sanger.

"Sanger, is there any specialty here?"

"Madam, what specialty do you mean?"

Shen Qingru was speechless and looked back at Sanger: "I'm asking you what special products you have. Why do you ask me in turn?"

Sanger's head paused, and then he reacted: "madam, you mean the specialties around here."

"What else can I say?"

Sanger thought, "many people here live by hunting. The specialty should be prey."

"Prey?" Shen Qingru thought of the situation when he saw them hunting last time: "it's the wolf and rabbit you hunted last time. The wolf meat is sour. In addition to the wolf skin, the rabbit is worthless."

Sanger was embarrassed. Their hunting was a kind of entertainment, and all their prey was sent to the camp kitchen for the brothers to have a meal. Where would they exchange money?

"We occasionally hit bears and deer, spores and so on, which are more valuable." Sanger was stunned and replied immediately.

"Bears and deer are more valuable, but the frontier fortress has little demand for them. These luxury things are difficult to sell at a price."

Sanger's eyes for help looked at his wife's maid aster. His eyes were full of doubts: "do you know what his wife wants to do?"

Aster shrugged and shook his head at him. Sanger was speechless.

Shen Qingru thought: "the ginseng here should be good. I remember reading medical skills once said that the cold land of the Arctic is rich in ginseng, and its year and quality are much better than those in the pass."

Without Sanger's answer, Shen Qingru took them forward first: "go to a medicine shop and catch some medicine for sister-in-law Huiwen's Xiaobao by the way."

Sanger found that her wife's affinity was first-class. She smiled and asked the frontier villagers the way. The frontier villagers enthusiastically led them to the nearest medicine shop in the city.

The medicine shop located in the center of the street looks quite large. Shen Qingru walks in with Sanger and aster and feels the fragrance of medicine coming to his face. Inside, an old Chinese medicine with white hair and beard is stroking his beard to feel the pulse for others.

"Girl, come to see me?" the shopkeeper asked.

Shen Qingru nodded.

"Please give me the prescription, miss." the shopkeeper held out his hand to Shen Qingru.

Shen Qingru smiled and shook his head: "there is no prescription. Please get me one money for Fangfeng, three money for notopterygium, one money for perilla leaf, three money for bupleurum, three money for licorice and one money for Angelica dahurica. Make ten doses according to the dose."

The shopkeeper is also a knowledgeable person. When he heard it, he knew: "what the girl wants is to cure wind cold and fever?" he asked the waiter to see how many other herbs are left. After a while, the man came back and whispered in the shopkeeper's ear.

The shopkeeper apologized and arched Shen Qingru: "girl, I'm really sorry. The Chaihu, Suye and Angelica dahurica in our medicine shop are gone. Why don't you go to another medicine shop?"

Shen Qingru was slightly surprised that these are the most commonly used medicinal materials. Does this big medicine shop even have these?

Just then, a big man roared: "but I grabbed a pair of tocolysis medicine. I ran to four medicine shops and didn't get it together. If you can't get Baizhu today, I'll see if I don't smash your shop!"

The shopkeeper bowed repeatedly and apologized again and again. The man's mood was barely calmed down. He was still dissatisfied and said, "it's not that the medicinal materials just entered by your owner have disappeared so soon?"

The shopkeeper smiled and explained: "Sir, our owner just bought the medicinal materials, but unfortunately, he met a big customer and almost bought them all. Now there are few other medicinal materials left in the shop..."

The shopkeeper said a lot of good words before he reluctantly sent the man away. He wiped his sweat and looked back. When he saw Shen Qingru still standing here, he quickly smiled and said, "girl, I'm really sorry..."

Shen Qingru shook her head and was about to turn around and leave. Suddenly, a light came: "shopkeeper, do you still have ginseng?"

As soon as the shopkeeper heard this, he nodded frequently: "yes, how many girls do you want and how many shops do you have."

"Take some out and have a look." Shen Qingru ordered.

The shopkeeper took out several ginseng of different lengths and sizes from under the table and put them on the counter. Shen Qingru took one and checked it carefully. It is really a wild ginseng of good quality and quality.

"What are these prices?"

The shopkeeper pointed to the shortest ginseng and said, "this is ginseng for three years, ten Wen a piece. The longer one is ginseng for five years, twenty Wen a piece. Ginseng for ten years is fifty Wen a piece. The older one will have to see the quality and then set the price."

Shen Qingru twists the shortest ginseng with his fingertips. Such a good ginseng will sell for at least two liang of silver in the capital.

"The ginseng is too cheap," she sighed.

The shopkeeper is funny. People here know that the frontier fortress is rich in ginseng, and the price of ginseng is naturally cheaper. It was the first time he had seen someone come to buy something and disliked that it was cheap. I'm afraid the little girl came to amuse him.

"Madam, we can dig this thing ourselves," Sang whispered in front of her.

Shen Qingru refuses to comment, turns around and takes Sanger and aster to the next medicine shop. Even after running to several medicine shops, I couldn't get together the medicine for sister-in-law Huiwen.

"It's really strange..." Shen Qingru murmured.

Fangfeng, bupleurum and licorice are common medicinal materials, but they are not available in several medicine shops. According to the shopkeeper of the first store, it should be that the medicinal materials just came in were bought by a mysterious big customer.

She suspected that the mysterious big customer was Zhenbao Pavilion, but she couldn't understand the intention of Zhenbao Pavilion. If Zhenbao Pavilion plans to buy medicinal materials in the frontier fortress and sell them back to the capital, it should also choose ginseng that is cheap in the frontier fortress but expensive in the capital. But why is ginseng neglected and there are few common medicinal materials left?

Who are you going to sell so many herbs in Zhenbao pavilion?

The sun gradually sets. Shen Qingru can only take Sanger and aster back first. The first stop, of course, is to go to sister-in-law Huiwen's house.

Sister-in-law Huiwen is feeding Xiaobao to drink medicine. Shen Qingru takes Xiaobao's pulse. Xiaobao's fever has subsided and the cold is much better. Seeing Shen Qingru, Xiao Bao called "aunt" with a smile. Shen Qingru smiled and touched his head.

"The general just asked the military doctor to see Xiaobao and sent a lot of medicinal materials. I really... I don't know how to thank the general and his wife..." sister-in-law Huiwen's eyes turned red and said gratefully holding Shen Qingru's hand.

Shen Qingru comforted her and gave her all the money given by the Wu family. When sister-in-law Huiwen saw the snow-white silver, she was shocked and opened her mouth wide enough to plug an egg.

"How could there be so many..." she dared not set the channel.

Shen Qingru smiled and patted her back: "your embroidery is good, the patterns are good, the creativity is new, and the stitching is good. The young lady of the city guard's house likes it very much. You deserve it."

She explained Miss Wu's request to sister-in-law Huiwen in detail, and sister-in-law Huiwen nodded uncontrollably.

Shen Qing was like when she said goodbye, sister-in-law Huiwen's tears fell down and fell on her knees in front of Shen Qingru: "madam's great kindness, our mother and son will never forget, and we should repay her for being an ox and a horse."

Shen Qingru quickly helped her up: "sister-in-law, get up quickly."

Sister-in-law Huiwen kowtowed to her. Shen Qingru was helpless: "who wants my sister-in-law to be a cow and horse? My sister-in-law will be free. Take Xiaobao to my house to talk to me. It's a reward to avoid my boredom."

After such a delay, it was already three o'clock for Shen Qingru to return to the general's house. As soon as she entered the house, the housekeeper came to greet her and asked her if she had eaten. Shen Qingru shook her head and tossed about all day. She was also a little hungry. However, she felt very sticky all day outside today. She wanted to take a bath first.

She ordered to take a hot bath first. The housekeeper nodded and said with a smile, "the general came back early today. It has been two or three hours. It happened that the general didn't eat. Later, let them send some fresh food to the room."

Shen Qingru was slightly stunned and then walked towards the room. As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the half hanging bed curtain was half closed, and a thin and straight figure was lying obliquely with his back to the inside. Shen Qingru gathered up with a smile: "how did you come back so early today?"

Huo Qijun's face smelly, glanced sideways at her and ignored her.

But he came back late. What's wrong with this man?

Shen Qingru sniffed him, sniffed his nose and said, "you went to practice again today? You smell sweat. Get up and take a bath. It stinks my bed."

At this time, aster was directing the servants to send hot water in, calmly placed Shen Qingru's personal clothes, and went out without squinting.

Shen Qingru tied the door and said to Huo Qijun on the bed, "get up, the water is coming. Go wash first."

Huo Qijun finally gave a reaction this time. He turned lazily, lay on his back, and crossed his hands behind his head: "you help me wash."

Shen Qingru rolled his eyes: "then you keep smelling. I'll sleep with aster."

She turned around and went into the bathroom to wash herself with water. Soaking in hot water, the whole person felt relaxed, and a burst of sleepiness slowly hit his heart.

With a "brush pull", the door of the bathroom was suddenly pushed open. Shen Qingru looked out the door, but saw Huo Qijun taking off his Chinese clothes and standing at the door like a big uncle.

"I hurried back to tell you what you asked me to ask. You're fine. You can't see anyone..." he muttered angrily. He stepped forward two steps, stepped into the bathtub and sat down.

Suddenly there was another person in the bathtub. The water overflowed and flowed down from the bathtub. Hot water overflows the skin, and every pore exudes a comfortable feeling. Huo Qijun narrowed his eyes comfortably. On one side, he lifted up the water in the basin and bounced towards Shen Qingru.

Shen Qingru brushed the water off his face with a black face: "general Huo, are you three years old?"
