As the main capital of Yangzhou, Guangling City is located in the hinterland north of the middle of the Guhan Canal, the longest canal of the Ming and Yin Dynasty, and the canal is dug from the easternmost Pengyu to the west to the westernmost Lizhou.
As the east branch of Hangou, this section of the canal in Yangzhou is a particularly important salt transportation waterway, and even the ferry head has two east and west: Guazhou Ferry and Dongtai Ferry.
At the beginning, the canal was only used for official purposes, transporting grain and salt, and later the power of the DPRK gradually became rich and strong, so it opened up a civil river and opened it for a limited time, which could not only promote the commercial and trade transactions of various states and counties, but also communicate with foreign states.
Therefore, the wealth of Yangzhou is not much inferior to that of Beijing.
The Qi family began to run the rice industry from the ancestors, and the foundation of the shops was mainly scattered throughout the state in Yangzhou, but the rice industry was inevitably embezzled back and forth with peers, and occasionally some were sent to Beijing or other states to make adjustments to other shops, so that on this canal, the Qi family had more than a dozen of their own cargo ships.
Now, Qi Su's share has been asked by the big house, and only a piece of official documents are missing, and these real ships naturally fell into the hands of the big house with a share of the second room, but they didn't do it anyway, and they still kept one for Qi Su's private use to transport some medicinal materials and supplies used on weekdays.
For example, in this hot June, you need to use ice cubes.
Two days ago, the sun was a little hotter, and Sijiu had already hidden the ice urn that had been transported back in advance in the cellar behind the house, and as soon as the summer came, he immediately took it out and distributed it to each room.
In the east courtyard of the house, Chu Rao lives in the southernmost one, at this time, there is a light of ice chips in the four corners of the room, and there is a yellow pear wood ice on the table in the middle, which can not only dispel the heat, but also store the tea fruit ice, and then take it out when you want to eat, which is very refreshing in this summer.
Chu Rao was lying comfortably on the bamboo and rattan chair, with a plate of iced preserved fruits on her left hand, and a book in her right hand.
In the past, when Yunzhu was waiting, because he was not very literate, he only thought that Chu Rao was reading a script and writing it down, so he didn't ask much.
However, a few days ago, Yunzhu's family had an emergency, and she took leave with Chu Rao, because she had been beside Ziyan recently, and she knew how to read, of course, she understood what book Chu Rao studied every day.
"Madam, rest too, don't be tired."
Ziyan neatly twisted the handkerchief in a basin of water, wiped the table and wiped the chairs, and glanced at Chu Rao, who was about to pile up the books in front of him.
"Well, I'm not tired."
Chu Rao moved the book in front of her, bent up from the recliner, supported her chin with her hand and asked, "Ziyan, I heard that Dr.
Qu in the house is back, isn't it?"
” Ziyan nodded, "Mrs.
Hui, Doctor Qu did come back last night, he only stayed in the house for a few days at a time, to see a doctor for his son, if it was okay, he would return to his hometown in Yunzhou in two or three days." ” "Then Qi Su went out to him today?"
Chu Rao now lives in the same courtyard with Qi Su, and her ears are pointed, she can see Qi Su from the window "by chance" wherever she goes, but she didn't see it today.
Ziyan was old, and at a glance, she knew what Chu Rao was thinking, and said with a smile: "Yes, I met Sijiu and Gongzi before lunch today, and I happened to go to the bamboo forest to have a look, and you hadn't gotten up yet, madam." ” "......"
Chu Rao always got up at three o'clock in the morning, she smiled a little embarrassedly, and continued: "Is that Doctor Qu really that powerful?"
” Chu Rao was also very impressed by this Doctor Qu, and when the Chu family was so urgent that day, Sijiu insisted on letting Doctor Qu rule, listening to him, as if that person was the most divine doctor in the world.
Chu Rao leaned over and looked at the sun outside, this person even had a big shelf, and on a hot day, he had to go to his place to beg for a look.
"Madame Hui, yes."
Ziyan turned around and said, "Doctor Qu, he is proficient in medical science, and the child's body a few years ago was much worse than now, and he is all optimistic about Doctor Qu."
"Madame, if you have something you want to ask, take advantage of the fact that he finally comes back, just go and ask."
Ziyan looked at the book in Chu Rao's hand meaningfully.
Chu Rao is small His face turned red, and he tucked the book "Ten Directions Tonic Sutra" into his sleeve. *** Because the two rooms of the big house are separated, the third courtyard was originally built according to the specifications of the main garden of the four courtyards, the interval between the front and back of it is larger than the four courtyards and the backyard combined, and a small bamboo forest is separated in the northeast corner of the courtyard.
Qu Muping and Qi Su's father used to be friends for the New Year, and when he was invited from Yunzhou that day, it was when Qi Su was the weakest, and the rumors about Qi Su's lingering couch were also very popular during that time, even if he was much better now than before, there were still rumors outside.
The leftmost of the three rooms is where Qi Su bled that day, and the rightmost is the sleeping room where Qu Muping occasionally came.
At this time, Qi Su and Qu Muping were in the middle of the room for palpation.
"Well, it's okay lately, and I probably won't have seizures in the next two months."
Qu Muping has reached the age of ear shun, his square face is dark and wrinkled, and he has sword eyebrows and white beard, this serious appearance makes people can't help but feel a little timid.
Qu Muping withdrew his hand to diagnose the pulse, stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "If you do it to yourself like that day, I won't cure you." ” In April, before Qi Su left, he clearly diagnosed the pulse until the end of the month, but he didn't expect it to be more than ten days in advance, if he hadn't been delayed because of something, he happened not to leave the Qi family, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"And you," Qu Muping frowned at Sijiu, "You don't persuade your son-in-law either?"
” "Yes, Doctor Qu, the little one is wrong."
Sijiu lowered his head and pursed his mouth.
Qi Su glanced at him, brushed off his sleeve robe and withdrew his hand, "It's nothing to do with him." ” "Hmph."
Qu Muping snorted coldly and stopped talking.
When Qi Su cut the pulse, the sleeve robe was pulled up, because he happened to see the wound that had been cut to the pool wall a long time ago, and it had been smeared with shallot juice, and it really didn't leave any scars, but he suddenly remembered what Chu Rao said at that time.
"Qu Lao," Qi Su looked at Qu Muping, "may I ask if there is a plaster to remove scars." ” ...
In the east room, Chu Rao waved away the purple smoke, waited and waited in her room alone, and waited until dusk in the west, and finally saw Qi Su's shadow in the window.
Well, now is the time!
Chu Rao jumped up and took out the notes she had copied on Su Xuan from under the embroidered pillow on the wooden couch, and there were three large pieces of paper sprinkled with all kinds of tonic soups.

She had carefully selected it from a book.
In the past month, Chu Rao has collected books on nourishment from outside from time to time, and she reads them when she is free, speaking of which, this is because after living in the courtyard, she saw that Sijiu Lei couldn't move two bowls of red ginseng soup a day, so she also moved some careful thinking and wanted to contribute to Qi Su.
But if she didn't ask the doctor, she would definitely not dare to make these tonics for Qi Su in vain, what if something happened.
So as soon as she heard that Dr.
Qu in the house was back, she immediately became energetic, and she didn't have to go to the market outside to look for it, isn't there a miracle doctor in front of her, and she still knows Qi Su best.
In front of Qi Su, she was embarrassed to ask, as if she cared about him a lot, so she could only wait for Qi Su to come back, and then she was ready to go to the shadowy northeast corner to find that Qu Shen Doctor to ask the prescription, since she was the heart of the doctor's parents, that person would definitely not ignore her!
Chu Rao watched Sijiu close the door through the crack in the door, and she quietly walked to the northeast corner silently holding the umbrella of bright butter wax.
The bamboo forest in the northeast corner is lush and green, covering the three rooms tightly, if you have never been to the Qi family, you may not be able to see the other caves in it for a while, but fortunately, Chu Rao asked Ziyan in detail, but she didn't feel that it was difficult to find.
Chu Rao cleared her throat outside the bamboo gate and whispered, "Doctor Qu?
” No one responded, but the door didn't seem to be closed tightly, and Chu Rao stepped into the door with her head probed.
She unconsciously walked to the northernmost room, which was a very simple light-colored wooden bed The bed was cleaned very clean, but the wood was mottled with a little dark red, like dried bloodstains, indescribably seeping.
There was still a little ambergris aroma left in the room, Chu Rao sniffed it, and suddenly guessed, could it be that Qi Su stayed here?
"Drink!
Who are you!
” Chu Rao was pondering, and she stumbled back and forth and almost fell down with a loud shout, but fortunately she helped the raised masonry by the door.
She swallowed her saliva in shock, looked at the person who came, and said, "You, are you Dr.
Qu?"
” The old man in front of him is not tall, wearing that kind of loess-colored thin gown, wearing a hat on his head, the sideburns on the outside of the brim are messy, and his face is dark but white-bearded.
"I'm Qu Muping, who are you?"
Qu Muping said a little impatiently, no one comes here on weekdays, and nothing dares to come, he hates strangers to bother him the most.
Don't look at Chu Rao's boldness on weekdays, but this Doctor Qu has a fierce face, and she immediately added in a low voice, "I am Qi Su's wife, my name is Chu Rao." ” "Qi Su's wife?"
Qu Muping thought about it, Qi Su seemed to have become a relative, but he didn't like this kind of occasion, and he was still turning medicine in his hometown in Yunzhou at that time.
"I've taken care of him, why are you still coming to me, you can ask him about his illness."
Qu Muping thought that Chu Rao was here to ask about the condition, and with a wave of his hand, he wanted to drive people away.
Chu Rao hurriedly took out the three pages she had accumulated from her sleeve, "No, Doctor Qu, I wonder if you can help take a look-" Chu Rao was pushed out before she could finish speaking.
"I'm not available, you go."
"Bang-" The wooden door was slammed shut, and Chu Rao was shocked by the sound and took a step back.
The twisted melon is not sweet, especially related to Qi Su's body, Chu Rao felt that she had to be cautious, but told her to give up, she had copied it for so many days, so she took the rest of her words back, leaned on the door and said inward: "Then I'll wait for you to look for you tomorrow when you're free, okay?"
” "Whatever you want."
A sentence was thrown out coldly from inside the door.
Chu Rao went back to her room from the bamboo forest in less than half a pillar of incense, but the more she felt that this doctor Qu was a miracle doctor, and it was written in the book, the more powerful the person, the more difficult it was to invite.
The next day, Chu Rao rarely didn't sleep until the end of the day, at the beginning of the morning, she didn't even eat breakfast and rushed there, thinking that it was probably the most free time to get up in the morning, after all, she went at dusk yesterday, and it seemed that Dr.
Qu was very busy.
Besides, Chu Rao couldn't figure out when he would return to his hometown in Yunzhou for a while, so she was afraid that he would leave the Qi Mansion in a hurry.
Who knows, this time Chu Rao went early, Qu Muping was still asleep, she naturally ate another closed door, thinking of Dr.
Qu's anger when she got up, Chu Rao could only run back in disgrace.
It wasn't until the third day that Chu Rao first arrived at the end of the day, and then patiently stood at the door silently and waited for an hour before Qu Muping stretched his waist and came out.
He twisted his waist, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw the female baby who had been chattering and annoying him for the past two days, and he was really grinding and wanted to lose his temper.
"Tell me, what the hell are you going to do?"
Qu Muping said with a dark face.
"Doctor Qu, I just want you to see if Qi Su can make up for these recipes I remembered."
In fact, Chu Rao didn't know that the tonic soup that Qi Su drank on weekdays in the morning and evening was prescribed by Dr.
Qu, and she thought that Sijiu had found a prescription to fry it, of course, even if she knew, she must have felt that it was nothing to make up more, two bowls were enough.
Qu Muping didn't care about these things about reading other people's prescriptions, he reached out and grabbed the note, "Okay, I'll take a look, you go back first." ” "Then when will I come again?"
Chu Rao stared at him with blank eyes, a pair of apricot eyes purring and looking bright.

Qu Muping had a headache when he thought that she still had to come, "Forget it, you come in, I'll show you now!"
Okay no!
” "Okay, thank you, Divine Doctor."
Chu Rao smiled and ran into the house. this The three rooms were almost the same as any of the simple, and Chu Rao didn't find a good place to sit down, so she simply stood and waited.
Qu Muping has always had a bad temper, but the people in front of him have come up three times, and he can be regarded as charity to take a look, but at this glance, his face turned black.
"Where did you get this?!"
"It's in the book I bought."
Chu Rao knew from his face that the medicinal properties of this tonic were estimated to be in conflict with Qi Su's physique, "Doctor Qu, is it that this one can't be used, then I don't need it, you look at the back, there are two more!"
” "Hehe, Cistanche, Suoyang," Qu Muping flipped through the first two again, "Sha Yuanzi....
Do you know what this is for?
” There are so many flavored medicines, either to tonify the kidney and strengthen the yang, or to cure drowning and ejaculation!
It's all a mess.
"I, I just want Qi Su to make up for his weakness...
If you can't use it, you won't need it...."
Chu Rao suddenly felt a little aggrieved, she finally copied three pages with great ease, but it was useless, and fortunately she asked, but she couldn't hurt Qi Su.
Qu Muping was annoyed when he saw Chu Rao's gentle appearance, such broken things annoyed him for three days!
So, he snorted coldly, and regardless of Chu Rao, who was still standing there, he ran out of the bamboo gate directly.
Outside, he grabbed a servant who had accidentally passed by.
"You call Qi Su for me."
The servant was suddenly stopped by the black-faced doctor in this house, and he was already frightened, and at this time, he was even more afraid when he heard the words: "Doctor Qu, shout, what's the matter with calling our son-in-law." ” Doctor Qu only told him to shout, he must not report, otherwise Gongzi asked, what would he say.
Qu Muping frowned impatiently and said, "You just tell him, let him bring his people back, don't bother him if you don't have enough sex, don't bother me!"
”
