Chapter five hundred and twenty fourth medicinal materials
On the small streets of the inner city, the ground is also paved with stone, but it has been worn out. This place is not based on the market, and few irrelevant people usually come over. The pedestrians on the street are sparse, and most of them are people living here.
In the attic of a tile house, a gray-clothed man with sleeves rolled up beside the small window muttered: "I stare at you like this, my eyes are blurred. What are we staring at?"
On the simple wooden bed behind, there was an elderly middle-aged man and a young man gambled with the leaf card. There were some copper coins piled beside them. The older man said, "General Dong (Zun Hui) called him to stare, let's stare, and you will have a lot of benefits... His eyes were blurred. If you go, let him come and play for a few."
"I just started winning, you'll have to change people." said the young man sitting opposite the bed.
"Stop talking." The older man cursed, "There is a woman with big breasts and buttocks inside. She looks pretty and stares at her."
The person who changed it back breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to grab the Ye Zi Card, and said, "This errand is really boring, and it is so sneaky that it almost caused trouble. I was not stared at by the government the day before yesterday, thinking we were spies."
The older man casually said, "It seems that he is not from the government, but from the palace. It is said that spies from the Northern Han Dynasty came to Tokyo, and more suspicious people are easily attracted to them. But we are not afraid. General Dong is a general in the imperial guards. What's wrong with us?"
"Hey!" At this moment, the young man next to the window screamed, "I have big breasts and buttocks coming out! Come and see, I'm still riding a horse, I'm really handsome."
The older man quickly got up and ran to the window. Sure enough, he saw a woman wearing a hat riding a horse out of the yard. He immediately said, "You, hurry back and report to General Dong. I'll follow you to see the situation."
...Jing Niang rode on the horse, her eyes hidden in the gauze scarf, looked at the house diagonally opposite, and hummed gently, and rode her horse slowly towards the street entrance.
She thought to herself: I am always staring at others, are you still staring at me?
Few people participated in the matter of taking care of Gao. Jing Niang had no subordinates around him, so he usually didn't care about investigating the situation around him. However, a spy from the court came over the day before yesterday and was noticed by Jing Niang, so he suspected that there was a spy next to him.
When she walked onto the street, there were more pedestrians, and the surroundings were bustling. Jing Niang rode slowly on her horse. There were no horses allowed in the inner city, but there were also many people riding horses and donkeys. She wandered around for a long time and arrived at a medicine shop. She looked slightly and saw that Bai Xian Gu was sitting there carrying a bag of medicine on a stool in the lobby.
The girl Jing ignored it and didn't go to the doctor who was in the hall. She went to the medicine to get some things, and left after a while.
...After a while, Dong Zunhui took a carriage to the outside of the pharmacy.
A man lifted the curtain behind him, bent down and walked up, clasped his fists and said, "Lord, the person we are watching is buying medicine here."
Dong Zunhui nodded in response, but did not speak immediately. His mother went out for several months and said that she believed in Taoism and wanted to find a place to stay in seclusion. But how could Dong Zunhui ignore his own mother? She had to know where she was and how she was.
It was Jing Niang who came to pick her up at that time. Jing Niang stayed in the army twice. Dong Zunhui knew her and of course she also knew her identity. By looking for Jing Niang, he found the small courtyard where Gao was resting, in a relatively secluded place.
Gao would bring a letter back every time, but Dong Zunhui was already suspicious... After thinking about it, he muttered in his heart, was his mother pregnant and wanted to give birth to a younger brother or younger sister? Besides thinking this way, Dong Zunhui really couldn't think of any reason to explain Gao's strange heart.
If it is true, Dong Zunhui thinks that the child's father may be the current emperor Guo Shao! Otherwise, why should I send Jing Niang to deal with this matter? Jing Niang is someone around Guo Shao, and she will definitely not take care of ordinary things herself.
Dong Zunhui felt that this was a bit troublesome, but he was not angry, but he thought it was a good thing... Gao was his mother, not his wife, and Dong Zunhui didn't want to care about her private life; and the other party was the emperor! Guo Shao was also the benefactor of Gao's rescue, and Dong Zunhui had no unhappiness at all. He even thought that if his mother was widowed, she could enter the palace to be a concubine, wouldn't that be a good thing?
However, he thought again that it doesn't matter if Guo Shao summoned a widow into the palace to be a concubine. At worst, a widow in his thirties could still be envied by the world... However, if people knew that Gao had stolen a relationship with the emperor before he had no status (and according to the children, Guo Shao did not claim to be emperor at that time), and if he was not a wife, he would have a bad reputation for the Dong family and the Gao family. Moreover, Gao had a sibling relationship with Guo Shao before.
Dong Zunhui weighed the pros and cons, and said to the people on the carriage: "I'll ask myself, no one of you is allowed to come to this place again. You will take everyone away in a while and don't care about this matter."
The subordinate hurriedly said, "Here."
As long as the subordinates who do this matter ignore it for a period of time, there are so many people coming and going to the pharmacy every day, who still remembers it?
Dong Zunhui walked out of the carriage, took a handful of copper coins into the pharmacy, bought some things casually, and asked about the things that Jing Niang bought not long ago. The dress and figure of Jing Niang were unusual. The guy who was taking the medicine still remembered that when he got the money, he shook the things that Jing Niang bought.
There are realgar, saltpeter and other substances, which are strange. From the list, Dong Zunhui thought it was the material for Taoist priests to refine alchemy.
He felt a little confused for a moment, and could not tell whether Gao was really a Taoist priest or a guise to give up... Dong Zunhui planned to give up and wait for his mother to come back and ask her in person.
...Bai Xiangu walked into the yard and met Jing Niang in a wing room. Jing Niang sat calmly on the chair and took a sip of tea.
Bai Xiangu whispered: "Someone really went to the pharmacy to inquire about what medicine the saint is buying. The saint is a good idea!"
"Who is it?" said Jing Niang.
Bai Xiangu said, "I sent someone to come and take a look. It was Dong Zunhui, the general of the Imperial Guard."
After hearing this, Jing Niang suddenly realized and said, "Don't pay attention to him."
"Yes." Bai Xiangu responded. Seeing that Jing Niang had no intention of speaking again, she did not ask how much she had been in this place for so long, so she quickly took the tribute and said goodbye.
Jingniang had already asked Lu Xiaoniang to prepare those medicinal herbs for pregnancy before taking Gao. In order to help Guo Shao, she had organized people to do fine work in dealing with Zhao Kuangyin and the four prefectures of Qin Fengcheng. She had long had experience and would not reveal clues in such obvious things.
