"... The old man and Miss Han live in the defense mansion. At this time, Miss Han should have gone to help the wounded barracks. However, the old man did not leave the mansion today."
Nangong Yue nodded, and asked with a smile, "Have you eaten yet?"
"The servant girl and the thrush have used it before." Seeing Nangong Yuele tidying up the study, Baihui didn't bother her, and ate the meal first.
"At that moment, let's go find my grandfather."
Nangong Yue quickly ate all the food, and there was nothing left.
After Baihui returned the food box to the kitchen, Nangongyue drove Xiaohui out of the study and let her go to play by herself, then went back to the room and changed into a skirt, and went to Lin Jingchen's place.
Lin Jingchen lives in a quiet small courtyard in the garrison mansion. There are three entrances to this courtyard, the front is for drying medicine, and the back room is where Han Qixia lives.
As soon as Nangong Yue stepped into the yard, she saw Lin Jingchen, who was dressed in green, standing there picking herbs.
Nangong Yue happily shouted: "Grandfather!"
Seeing Nangong Yue, Lin Jingchen was overjoyed and said, "Yue'er, why are you here?"
Nangong Yue said with a smile: "There was a mistake in the medicine I sent you last time. I'm here to see if I can help you change it together."
Lin Jingchen didn't believe her excuse at all, and said straight to the point: "Are you here to find A Yi?"
A trace of shyness appeared on Nangong Yue's face, and the posture of the youngest daughter was undoubtedly revealed.
Baihui also covered her lips and smiled lightly.
Lin Jingchen chuckled, his granddaughter and grandson-in-law have a good relationship, of course he will see it succeed, after the young couple get married, they get together less and leave more, Yue'er can come to Yanding City now, naturally it couldn't be better!
He waved to Nangong Yue with a smile on his face, and said, "I'm just about to make medicine, so come and have a seat first."
Nangong Yue hadn't seen her grandfather's pharmaceuticals for a long time, so of course she hurried over to see this rare opportunity.
Lin Jingchen put the chosen herb into the medicine pounding jar, and saw that there were already several medicines in the jar, and the smells of all kinds of herbs were mixed together and permeated the air.
Baihui moved a small round stool, and Nangong Yue sat down quietly beside him.
Lin Jingchen picked more than a dozen kinds of herbs, put them in one by one in order, and began to pound them with concentration.
One stroke, two strokes, three strokes... The movements may be fast or slow, but they are quite regular. After pounding carefully for about a stick of incense, Lin Jingchen took out a small porcelain bowl and poured all the juice into it.
Lin Jingchen pushed the small porcelain bowl to Nangong Yue, and asked with a smile, "Yue'er, do you know what medicines are in it?"
Nangong Yue couldn't help thinking of her previous life. At that time, she was studying medicine with her grandfather, who would often test her like this. Nangong Yue smiled. She closed her eyes, sniffed the smell carefully, and carefully distinguished it. After a while, she murmured: "... White Flower Snake Grass, Patella Grass, Silver Snake Root Grass... Huh?" She looked up. Xiang Lin Jingchen.
These medicines seem to have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, most of which are similar to her last prescription, and the silver snakeroot grass also happens to be the one that grows near the swamp? Could it be that what my grandfather is making is the antidote to the poison of the miasma in the swamp
Lin Jingchen saw the meaning in her eyes, nodded with a smile, and said, "That's all."
"Why did you mash them into a paste?" Nangong Yue asked with a puzzled face, frowning, "It should be easier to take when made into honey pills?"
"Yue'er, your focus is wrong." Lin Jingchen shook his head with a smile, and said, "Yue'er, let me ask you, where are these medicines used for?"
Nangong Yue replied without hesitation: "The army is crossing the swamp."
Lin Jingchen raised his eyebrows and said, "So, you plan to let them take the medicine before entering the swamp, and then take the medicine after they get hit by the miasma?"
"Well… "
Nangong Yue faintly realized that something was wrong, and lowered her head to think carefully.
She deduced the process of using these medicines in her mind. Thousands of soldiers are about to step into the swamp, and then... take the medicine together first
Well, it seems a bit outrageous indeed! Nangong Yue lowered her head in shame.
She originally thought that Fang Zi's effect was not satisfactory because she didn't get fresh swamp mud, but now it seems that she was thinking in the wrong direction from the beginning.
This method of taking medicine is really troublesome for the army. It should be said that it is only suitable for slow marches. If there is any change, it will be restrained.
For example, if you want to chase the enemy and the enemy steps into the swamp, should you take medicine first, or should you chase people first...
In particular, it would be even more stupid to take another medicine after being poisoned by miasma.
Nangong Yue felt that she was so stupid!
Seeing that she had figured it out, Lin Jingchen followed up and said, "This is the first, and the second is, according to your original prescription, how many pills do you need to prepare? Can you make it in time?"
Nangong Yue's head hangs lower and lower, the three pharmacies in Luoyue City are busy rushing to make pills, and she dare not use other pharmacies easily, maybe they are hidden stakes of the enemy like Qianjintang, it is hard to guard against. If this prescription is really used to make medicines, I am afraid that there will not be enough medicines for the army to use in a few months.
yes!
In recent years, whether it is medical treatment or pharmaceuticals, she has been so smooth that she is a little complacent and preconceived, after all, she is not as thoughtful as her grandfather.
"Grandfather." Nangong Yue blinked, looked at him and said, "Then what are you making now?"
"Do you still remember the masks you made in Hunting Palace?" Lin Jingchen said with a chuckle, "I have looked at this thing carefully, and it is really good, so I plan to make some paste-like ointment and seal it into these masks. Block the poisonous miasma from entering the nose and mouth."
The mask Lin Jingchen was talking about was one of the prevention methods they used when the epidemic was prevalent in the Hunting Palace. It was originally proposed by Bai Muxiao, but the mask Bai Muxiao made was too crude and impractical, so She adjusted it with the imperial physician, but after hunting the palace, it didn't become popular.
Nangong Yue still remembered the matter of hunting the palace, she nodded hurriedly and said, "Grandfather, you are right!"
Since there is no need to take it in, there is no need to worry about the main medicine being too strong and hurting the body, and a mask can also be worn with you, which is very convenient to take. Most of the women in Dayu can do some needlework, and it is not difficult to make masks. As long as enough gauze can be transferred from Luoyue City, all the women in the city can help make them together. It will save time than making hundreds of thousands of pills.
Nangong Yue looked at him with bright eyes, and said coquettishly, "Grandfather is the best way!"
Nangong Yue was fortunate that her grandfather was in Yanding City, otherwise she would have gone further and further on a detour.
Lin Jingchen smiled and straightened his beard.
Nangong Yue eagerly said, "Grandfather, is there anything I can do for you?"
Lin Jingchen didn't shirk, and said bluntly, "Tell me about your thinking in that prescription."
Nangong Yue nodded, organized her words, and carefully explained one by one: "... At first, I was thinking that all things are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Since plants such as silver snakeroot can grow vigorously near the swamp, it may be because of mutual restraint." effect, and then…”
Nangong Yue told about the several experiments she had conducted, and Lin Jingchen listened carefully, and then offered her own opinion, "You are right in thinking. But, have you ever thought that these medicines are too powerful, and People's tolerance to drugs is different. Even if your drug can detoxify, it may become poison for people with weak constitutions."
Nangong Yue also considered this point, and immediately replied: "So, I specially added ring root grass to neutralize the medicinal properties..."
One old and one young sat in the yard, pondering over and over again, and Baihui, who was waiting on the side, saw the opportunity and asked someone to bring a small desk, and put a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it.
Baihui grinds quietly, laying out paper and handing pens in due course.
While debating, the two revised the prescription, arguing, and no one accepted the other.
After more than an hour, a prescription finally took shape. This prescription is more perfect than the one written by Chu Chu before Lin Jingchen, and it is more suitable for making plasters.
Nangong Yue wrote down the prescription herself, gently dried the ink on it, and said with a smile: "Grandfather, let's try this first."
Lin Jingchen nodded happily.
In the courtyard where Lin Jingchen lives as a guest, a small pharmacy is specially arranged, most of the herbs are in it, and if he doesn't have him, he will hurry to get someone to prepare it.
I have been busy until the sun went down, and a small pot of brown plaster was finally made.
