Chapter 81 The wrong medicine
Chapter 81 The medicine is not right
"I heard that Mrs. Xu gave the Queen Mother a strange camellia with five colors of flowers. In our Jin Dynasty, this kind of camellia was very rare, let alone one branch that can bloom with five colors of flowers. I want to decide
It is extremely precious. It is said that this flower was cultivated by Mrs. Xu herself. I wonder if it is true or not?" The old lady of the Fang family had a smile on her face, but her eyes that had experienced weather and accidents were fixed on Lin Shuran.
Lin Shuran glanced at the old lady of the Fang family in surprise. She was confused but nodded and replied truthfully: "I did grow the flower myself, but this flower is extremely rare. I spent three years cultivating only two plants.
One of the five-color orb camellias was given to the Queen Mother, but the other one was damaged by the heavy snowfall two years ago. I wonder why the old lady asked about the flowers?"
When she heard that the flowers had been frozen by the snow, the old lady of the Fang family showed regret and disappointment on her face, and said with a bitter smile: "To be honest, I have an old illness. Zheng Yin of the Tai Hospital has developed a new prescription, which he said is used."
Camellia flowers are used as medicine and are of great benefit to my disease. I wanted to shamelessly go to the palace to seek help from the Queen Mother, but I learned that the Queen Mother had already used all the five-color camellia flowers you sent as medicine in order to cure the disease."
"Old Madam, although this camellia is rare, it is not uncommon in other places in the world. Now that the weather is warm and the flowers are blooming, you should be able to find them in other places." This year, there was heavy wind and snow, and the small flower garden of Lin Shuran's farm also suffered a disaster. She re-
After pruning the flowers and plants, although the camellias were saved by her, they may not bloom this year.
"Alas -" the old lady of the Fang family sighed softly, "It's just that the efficacy of this ordinary camellia is incomparable to that of the five-color camellia, and I will end up with no blessings."
Seeing the disappointed look on Mrs. Fang's face, Lin Shuran wanted to tell her that the so-called five-color camellia was actually the same as the ordinary camellia, but she used grafting technology. People here had never seen it before, so they thought it was magical.
.
But then I thought about it, if I said this, I was afraid that it would easily cause others to misunderstand me, thinking that I was reluctant to take out the precious camellias, so I suppressed my words.
On the way back from Fang's house, as soon as she left the gate of Fang's house, Honggu said to Lin Shuran with a stern face: "Madam, the old lady of the Fang family is lying!"
Chunxi opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at Hong Gu. What lie did the old lady of the Fang family tell? Lin Shuran just continued walking home naturally, and asked Hong Gu to go back and talk.
When they arrived at their own yard, Lin Shuran, Honggu and Chunxi entered the room together. Then Chunxi closed the door and told the servants in the yard not to disturb Lin Shuran's rest.
"My slave knows medical skills. From the look, breath, and demeanor of the old lady of the Fang family, even if there is an old disease, it should be gastrointestinal discomfort. Camellia is cold in nature and is most likely to cause abdominal pain. The medicine is not suitable for the disease!" Hong
Gu said it so categorically that people couldn't help but believe it.
"President Zheng said that the medicinal effect of the five-color camellia is much stronger than that of ordinary camellias. He has used ordinary camellias as medicine before, but the efficacy was average." Dr. Mei has not had the opportunity to see the five-color camellia, but he only heard what President Zheng said.
However, the medicinal effects of five-color camellia are by no means comparable to those of ordinary camellias.
It was just a medicine. Even if it was hard to find, it was not impossible. Why would the old lady of the Fang family lie? Lin Shuran asked Chunxi to invite Dr. Mei into the house again. He should know the condition of the old lady of the Fang family best.
Although Lin Shuran has some knowledge of medical skills, she only knows some ancient pharmacology or first aid methods in Western medicine, and her pulse diagnosis skills are not exquisite. She does not have the ability of Hong Gu, who only looks at people's faces and observes them.
You can detect someone's illness by just their breath.
"Mr. Mei, the old lady of the Fang family probably doesn't need cold medicine like camellia for her illness, right?!" Lin Shuran made it clear when she saw Dr. Mei.
"Honggu, what did you see?" Lin Shuran glanced at Honggu specifically, the expression on her face was still that calm and indifferent.
Dr. Mei smiled helplessly. He knew that Lin Shuran would be able to figure out some clues after meeting the old lady of the Fang family. Moreover, the old lady of the Fang family had an old ailment of stomach cold. This matter could be known with a little effort. It was not a secret that could not be disclosed.
Dr. Mei kindly explained her confusion and said: "Mrs. Fang's family may have done this for the sake of Princess Qing. Princess Qing is the niece of Mrs. Fang's family."
"Five-color camellias have more colors, and their medicinal effects may not be stronger than ordinary camellias. Since they are effective, then look for other camellias to use as medicine!" The last time Lin Shuran entered the Qing Palace, he saw Princess Qing coughing up blood, but
At that time, the Qing Princess did not allow her to get close to her, so she had no chance to find out her condition.
Imperial Physician Mei also told Lin Shuran that Princess Qing had always had a problem with coughing up blood, and her health had become worse recently. In fact, Chief Zheng of the Imperial Hospital had indeed developed a new prescription for treating the disease, but it was not for the elders of the Fang family.
Madam, it’s for Princess Qing.
However, Director Zheng discovered a new way to stop the bleeding from Mrs. Su's condition. Unfortunately, there was only one camellia petal left, which was barely enough for one dose of medicine.
Some time ago, Concubine Su was seriously ill. Zheng Yuan first used camellias as medicine. The Queen Mother gave him all the five-color camellias to treat Concubine Su. Although the medicine was effective, Concubine Su was old and in poor health.
It's serious, and when I get emotional, I can't help it.
"This is strange. Why would the old lady of the Fang family lie?" It's just a medicinal material. Is it worthy of the old lady of the Fang family? Lin Shuran was very puzzled.
Dr. Mei brought his medicine box to see Lin Shuran, with a look on his face as if he had known this would happen. Before Lin Shuran could speak, he smiled knowingly and said: "Mrs. Xu knows medical skills. She should have noticed that Mrs. Fang's
Is he sick?"
"Yes, the old lady of the Fang family suffers from stomach cold. Camellia has miraculous effects on stopping bleeding and coughing, but it cannot cure the symptoms of stomach cold." If others asked, Imperial Physician Mei would not talk too much, but in his opinion, Lin Shuran had gone through high
Someone had given her advice, and maybe she could know good methods for some diseases, so he told her the truth about other patients' conditions.
Even Lin Shuran was stunned at this time. She originally only wanted to cultivate camellias with various colors as a new try, but she never thought that as the flowers become more colorful, the medicinal effects become stronger. It seems that she will need to cultivate some special camellias this year.
.
"Is that so? This is really difficult to deal with. The five-color orb camellia left in my garden has been frozen and cannot be used as medicine this year." Lin Shuran also felt regretful. After hearing this, Imperial Physician Mei also felt extremely regretful.
The truly unlucky person may be Princess Qing.
"Madam Qi, Princess Xiqing sent someone to deliver a greeting card. At this moment, the princess is waiting outside the door to see Madam!" At this moment, a maid announced outside the door.
Even without seeing Princess Xiqing, Lin Shuran could guess the general reason for her visit. She must have come for her mother, Princess Qing, but she did not have the five-color camellia in her hand, which would only disappoint her.
