Yu Shu gave a copy of Jing Chen's prescription to He Fangzhi and asked him to help her make the pills. He Fangzhi looked at the prescription and was greatly shocked. He repeatedly said, "Wonderful!" He asked Yu Shu where she got it and also asked for the name of the medicine.
Yu Shu lied and said that it was a secret prescription given to her by her previous master. She made up the name of the medicine and called it 'Wan Nian Dan' to fool him. However, this also made He Fangzhi more cautious. After thinking for a while, he sighed and said, "Your master must be an expert. Although this medicine doesn't cure the illness, it has the miraculous effect of nourishing the spirit and blood. It's also gentle and harmless. It can be considered a good medicine for maintaining one's health. It's a pity that there are a few medicinal ingredients that are very hard to come by. It's not that rich people can't afford it, otherwise I would be thick-skinned enough to ask you for this prescription for the patient. "
Hearing that Doctor He was acting like a medical fanatic again, Zhao Hui reached out and hit him. She said in a bad mood, "I already said it's a secret prescription. You don't have to worry. The child was given to you because he doesn't treat you as an outsider. Why are you so muddled?"
Doctor He smiled bitterly, "I'm just saying, how can I not understand?"
Yu Shu knew that He Fangzhi really had the heart of a doctor. However, this prescription was given by Jing Chen. Looking at how much He Fangzhi treasured it, it must be a secret medicine of the sect. She didn't answer He Fangzhi's question and said, "I don't know whether the medicine is good or bad. It's just that I've been overworked recently and felt that my body wasn't feeling well. I thought of this and brought the prescription to godfather. If you think there's nothing wrong with it, then make a hundred or so pills for our family to eat. Whether they're sick or not, it's better to take care of them."
Having said that, he took out two banknotes from his pocket and gave them to He Fangzhi, saying, "Previously I was invited to do some divination and received a big red packet during the New Year. I can use it to buy some medicinal ingredients to make these pills. Godfather, if it's not enough, please give me some more."
How could it not be enough? When Yu Shu came, she had already inquired about the price of the expensive medicine. She would only give more to He Fangzhi. She didn't want the couple to think too much and was embarrassed to accept it.
Even so, when Zhao Hui saw Yu Shu take out the money, she still secretly glared at He Fangzhi, as if to say that if he dared to accept it, she wouldn't let him off. He Fangzhi looked at the mother and daughter, feeling that she was stuck in the middle, and it didn't make sense whether she accepted it or not.
Yu Xiaoxiu sat on the side and fed Kim Bao. He watched the adults talk and didn't interrupt.
Seeing Zhao Hui's expression, Yu Shu rolled her eyes. She took back the banknotes and reached out to He Fangzhi. She pretended to be unhappy and said, "Father and Mother don't know me. It's fine if you don't want to be filial to me. Godfather, give me the prescription. I'll go out and find someone to make it. I'll bring it back when it's made into medicine. It will save you some trouble."
Hearing this, Zhao Hui was angry and laughed. She slapped Yu Shu's palm and scolded with a smile, "You're such a troublesome girl."
In the end, Yu Shu still gave the money to He Fangzhi and asked him to make the medicine. She said that she would come home to get the medicine after three days.
After that, Zhao Hui asked about Aunt Cui's illness.
Before leaving the Ji Mansion, Yu Shu went to see Aunt Cui. Seeing Yu Xiaoxiu's concerned expression, she said, "My mother took the medicine and her body is much better. However, the doctor told her to stay in bed for a few more days."
Zhao Hui wanted to say something but hesitated. "Are you going to spend the fifteenth of this month with the Ji Family?"
Yu Shu wanted to say that she would come back, but she remembered that there was still Aunt Cui in the Ji Mansion. It wouldn't be good to leave her mother for the Mid-Autumn Festival. She looked at Yu Xiaoxiu and said to Zhao Hui, "I'll bring Xiaoxiu over to accompany my mother. Zhao Hui nodded and said," Then you can come home on the fourteenth. We'll celebrate your birthday in advance. "
Yu Shu was at a loss. "Birthday? For me? "
Zhao Hui was also confused. "Hey, isn't it? I heard from Xiaoxiu that you were born on the fifteenth of the first month."
Yu Shu turned to look at Yu Xiaoxiu. Seeing him looking at her strangely, she immediately understood and quickly laughed. "Yes, it's that day."
Her horoscope was not accurate and she had never cared about it. Now that they mentioned it, she remembered that the fifteenth of the first month was indeed "her" birthday. Coincidentally, it was the Reunion Festival.
In fact, Yu Shu had no interest in celebrating her birthday. However, seeing Zhao Hui's excited expression, she didn't want to spoil her mood, so she agreed to go home on that day.
Yu Shu had lunch at Zhao Hui's house before leaving. Yu Xiaoxiu sent her to the door reluctantly. Yu Shu promised to take him back to see Aunt Cui in a few days to get the medicine.
On the way back, the sky was still bright. When they passed a small bridge, Yu Shu took out the Universal Treasure from her waist and threw it into the river.
Not to mention whether this 60-year-old wish money was a treasure or not, she didn't have a use for it. She didn't want it to fall out of her body and be regarded as a thief by others. If that happened, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.
When night fell, Yu Shu returned to the Ji family's small courtyard. The maid, Sonny, was sweeping the floor. Seeing her, she greeted her timidly and ran out with the excuse of making tea.
Yu Shu went back to the room and let Kim Bao out of her sleeve. This afternoon at Zhao Hui's house, she asked Yu Xiaoxiu to give it a bath. She had wounds on her hands. She coaxed them by saying it was frostbite and gave them medicine. Before leaving, He Fangzhi gave her a bottle of hand oil to apply.
Later, Sonny brought tea and dinner into the house. Yu Shu had eaten at Zhao Hui's house, so she asked her to send it back untouched.
At night, Yu Shu sat in front of the table to do a divination. She threw three copper coins clanking. She couldn't guarantee that it was accurate. She wrote down the divination on a piece of paper and asked her about her recent fortune.
It was not unexpected that she had an ominous sign that water and fire could not help each other, and that the official ghost had curbed her brother. She also vaguely revealed a trace of an illness that was difficult to cure, and there was no medicine that could cure it. This was exactly what Jing Chen had guessed after observing her facial expression and movements.
What was interesting was that her Six Recombinant Lines also revealed another piece of information. Her illness was caused by someone.
The first thing that Yu Shu thought of was that the Ji family wanted to harm her. The position of the old locust tree in the yard could explain something. All the people in the Ji family didn't have good intentions towards her.
"Let's wait and see." Yu Shu sneered and put away the divination money.
Let's see what they'll do after the Astrology exam paper is marked.
The next morning, Yu Shu got up and washed up. She saw that the flower she picked last night in front of the dressing mirror was a little withered. It was not as beautiful as it was yesterday. She sighed in her heart and couldn't bear to throw it away. She suddenly had an idea. She put the brush in the box and put it in her arms.
"Miss, are you going out today?" Sonny asked when he saw Yu Shu coming out of the room.
Yu Shu's footsteps paused at the door. Recalling the conversation Ji Huaishan had with her yesterday, she turned to the maid and instructed, "I need to make a trip to Autumn Osmanthus Lane in the south of the city. If your young miss comes looking for me, have her wait until nightfall. If she doesn't come, then forget it."
After saying that, he left the room with the gold treasure.
When she arrived at Wangji Tower, Xue Rui hadn't come yet. Yu Shu went to the room on the second floor of the backyard and put Kim Bao on the soft couch. She took out the flower from the pen-box in her arms and tied one end with a rope. She hung it upside down in the corner of the bookshelf to dry. She planned to make it into a dried flower and keep it for a long time.
After doing this, she heard a scream outside the room and the sound of a cup falling to the ground. She hurried out of the study and saw Xiaodie huddled at the door. She pointed at Kim Bao, who had jumped to the ground, with a trembling hand.
"Old, old, rat, help! There's a rat in the girl's room. Brother Liuzi!"
"Stop screaming." Yu Shu walked forward and bent down to pick Jin Bao up. She stroked the frightened little thing. Xiao Die was dumbfounded and forgot to scream with her mouth agape.
"Where, where, where's the rat?" Gui Liu rushed to the door. He held the door frame with one hand and took off his shoes. He looked around the room for traces of the rat and accidentally fell into Yu Shu's hands. Then Gui Qi, Gui Ba, and Lin Fu also ran up.
Yu Shu saw a group of people crowded in front of the door. She helplessly held up Kim Bao, who was frightened and curled up into a ball, to show them. Seeing their stunned expressions, she smiled and said, "This is not a rat. It's a small animal I raised. It doesn't bite."
Kim Bao's appearance was still very different from a rat. However, it buried its head in Yu Shu's palm and refused to show its head. Several people in front of the door stared at each other. They couldn't believe that a girl like Yu Shu would raise a rat to play.
Yu Shu was worried about how to explain when Xue Rui came.
"What are you all doing here?"
"Gongzi."
The people in front of the door dispersed to the two sides, revealing Xue Rui's figure. The weather was warm today, and he was wearing a bamboo cardigan with a round collar. Inside, he was wearing a tight-fitting robe with a blue satin belt tied around his waist. His figure was healthy and charming, and he seemed to have the temperament of a scholar.
"Kim Bao scared him." Yu Shu helplessly pointed at Kim Bao in her hand for him to see.
Xue Rui understood and said to the people on the side, "This is Miss Lotus's pet. It's not a rat. It's clean. Don't make a fuss when you see it in the future. Okay, clean up the things on the ground. Don't stab someone. "
After Xue Rui spoke, the people in front of the door dispersed. Lin Fu asked Gui Qi to help Xiaodie clean up the broken cups on the ground. He served tea and fruits and then left.
After a small commotion, Yu Shu and Xue Rui sat down in the study and talked about what they talked about yesterday morning.
Xue Rui asked, "You said you have something to tell me about this restaurant's accounts. What is it?"
Yu Shu said, "Answer my two questions first. I'll tell you. Don't think I'm smart."
Seeing that she was keeping him in suspense, Xue Rui was even more interested. He said, "Ask."
Yu Shu looked outside the door and said, "What's the background of the people you hired in Wang Ji Lou? For example, that shopkeeper Lin. Did you pick him from the residence or did you hire him?"
Xue Rui understood the meaning behind her words. He wasn't afraid to tell her, "Lin Fu is a servant of our Xue family. He was originally doing some business outside. He was specially sent here for me to open this restaurant. He's a trustworthy person."
"If you say it like that, I know," Yu Shu was originally worried that this Lin Fu was using buying to fill his own pockets. But after listening to Xue Rui's words, she knew that she was worrying too much. She put this aside and asked, "Are you going to make one copy of this restaurant's account book or two copies?"
When Xue Rui heard this, he was surprised at first. Then he smiled. His eyes looked at her. He didn't answer but asked back, "You know that there are two accounts in business?"
