"Miss, Lord Hou ordered someone to send a letter back from home!"
Qi An was so old, he happily ran to the West Chamber with the letter in his hand, like an old child.
He had always been steady, and it was rare to see such a lively appearance. All the little maids in the West Wing hid in secret and laughed. They did not expect the old housekeeper to be such a person.
Yu Fu was also very happy when he heard the letter from the family, so he rushed out to take a look, and saw the little maids hiding aside and laughing at Qi An, but he himself didn't react at all.
In the past, Yu Fu only saw him occasionally being lively in front of Gu Huaijiang, but he was always steady towards them juniors, and he was even more majestic towards the servants of the mansion.
I don't know whether it was because he was too happy to receive the letter from home, or because he finally respected Yufu as his master.
Yu Fu didn't think too much, took the letter in his hand, "Old housekeeper, please sit down and have a cup of tea before talking. By the way, why didn't the family letter be sent to fourth brother first?"
Qi An was stunned.
He has recently been used to sending all the affairs of the mansion to Yufu to handle. Gu Wenqing only cares about the outside business such as sending people to Hetianzhuang shops, etc., and handing over all internal affairs to Yufu.
Seeing that Qi An was stunned, Yu Fu didn't say much, "You drink tea first, I'll read what is written in the letter, and then I'll tell you."
She read the letter very quickly, skimmed through it hastily, and didn't see any bad news, so she felt relieved and read it again from the beginning.
Seeing her reaction, Qi An knew that Master Hou and the young masters were not in danger, so he picked up the teacup.
"The general said in his letter that the situation on the border is still under control, and there is no danger for the time being. It's just that they went to Zhushan to investigate a few days ago and were besieged by a group of poisonous snakes. It was supposed to be a trick by the Xikun people, so they wrote back and asked me about it. what is the reason."
"Ah? A group of poisonous snakes?"
Qi An suddenly thought of the time Su Yunyan was bitten by a poisonous snake, a poisonous snake almost killed Su Yunyan, how about a group of poisonous snakes
His face was tense, and Yu Furou said in a soft voice: "Don't worry, they are all fine. After the Dragon Boat Festival is a good time for snakes and insects to come and go. I prepared early in the morning and gave my elder brother a sachet to avoid snakes and insects. I gave three Those herbs that my brother brought have the function of clearing away heat and detoxifying. If they drink it often, even if they are bitten by a poisonous snake, they can survive until the military doctor comes to treat them."
Qi An calmed down, "That's good, that's good. Fortunately, the young lady knows these tricks to avoid poison, otherwise the Lord Hou and the young masters wouldn't be hurt by the people of Xikun!"
He recalled that Yufu came to Guhou Mansion for more than a year, at first the name of the Poison Immortal made him worry, but then he gradually discovered that Yufu, the Poison Immortal, was not so much a poisoner, but a detoxifier.
Except for Qi Ting's reckless framing of her, she has never been seen to poison anyone in the mansion, but when Gu Huaijiang, Gu Shubai and Su Yunyan were poisoned, they all relied on Yufu to treat them.
What is the difference between such a poison fairy and a doctor fairy who saves lives and heals the wounded
Qi An came back to his senses and heard Yu Fu say: "As for them being attacked by snakes, there are many possibilities. Maybe the people of Xikun deliberately put herbs to attract snakes on the way they must go up the mountain, and they were contaminated with snakes. After smelling the smell of herbs, the poisonous snakes will surround them and attack them. I have also heard that there is a kind of artisan driving snakes who can manipulate the snakes. Maybe they went up the mountain to alarm the sentry in Xikun, and the artisan drove the snakes to attack them.”
"That's okay? What if they drive the snake one more time?"
"Don't worry, I will prepare some more herbs this time for the messenger to take back. I remember that the Xikun and Dongling border mountains are continuous, and there are many herbs growing in them. Such as horse chestnut, impatiens and wild cassia, etc. Herbal medicines have the effect of repelling snakes. Let the military doctor take some people to pick some and disperse them in the army camp, and there will be no serious problem."
As Yufu said, he called Lianbi to bring a pen and paper, and then told Yaolan, "Go and get the sachet prescription I made last time, and ask people to go out and make more. If I had known that the general and the others would really meet On the poisonous snake, I should have matched more when they left."
At that time, it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival. She thought about the custom of using realgar to avoid snakes in Dongling Duanyang, so she put herbs to avoid snakes in the sachet.
Unexpectedly, the wrong attack saved Gu Huaijiang's life.
Yao Lan brought the prescription, and Qi An personally took it, "Miss, let the old slave do the mixing. Don't worry about handing over such life-saving things to the servants and old slaves outside."
Yu Fu smiled and said: "Okay, you can take the family letter to Fourth Brother and the others."
She refolded the letter and put it in the envelope, and suddenly found a hard bulge in the empty envelope, and when she put it in the palm of her hand, she saw that it was a gem the size of a fingernail, shining brightly.
What is strange is that the color of this gem is different when viewed from different angles. In just a short while, Yufu saw seven colors.
Qi An glanced at her palm and said in surprise, "Oh, isn't this Xikun's seven-color gemstone?"
Yu Fu had never heard of seven-color gems, so he handed it to Qi An, "What are seven-color gems?"
Qi An smiled and said: "This is the legendary sacred stone. It grows in the jade mine at the junction of Xikun and Dongling. You may not be able to find one as big as a fingernail in the entire jade mine. It is said that seeing seven-color gemstones will bring good luck. Good luck, the General and the others must have found the seven-color gemstone on the bamboo mountain, and this battle will surely be a victory!"
