This was not the first time for Zhang Zhou to come to Duke Cheng’s Mansion, but it was the first time he entered the main hall of Duke Cheng’s Mansion.
In front of the main hall hangs the three words "Jixian Hall", and inside there is a four-word plaque with the words "Respect the Worthy and Chongli". Under the plaque hangs the first generation of Chengguo Duke Zhu Neng who rode on horseback to fight. The portrait, as well as the inscription that Emperor Taizong Zhu Di posthumously named Zhu Neng King of Dongping, etc.
In front of the portrait, stood an old lady in her sixties or seventies with a peaceful look on her face. She did not have any jewelry on her body and her clothes were plain, but she had many sandalwood beads on her body.
In Zhang Zhou’s opinion, this old woman has gone beyond the realm of pursuing wealth and pursues a higher spiritual level.
On the other side stood a skinny old official in his fifties wearing official uniform. This man looked very ordinary, with many wrinkles on his face, but sharp eyes. He was Yin Wu of Yingtian Mansion. male.
Wu Xiong, also known as Wenying, was a Jinshi in the 14th year of Chenghua. He was a man of "strict conduct and took purging as his duty".
To put it harshly, it is stingy.
"Just as we were talking, people are coming."
Cheng Guotai's wife Zhu Hu stood up and greeted Zhang Zhou with Wu Xiong, making Zhang Zhou feel that the medicine donation was It must be done.
"I'm Zhang Zhou, I've met Mrs. Cheng Guotai and Wu Fuyin"
Zhang Zhou seemed to know etiquette very well, so he came up and offered greetings.
Zhu Hu smiled and said, "Zhang Jieyuan is polite. I invite you here today. I have something to discuss. Please sit down."
Afterwards, Zhang Zhou and Wu Xiong exchanged hands with each other.
Wu Xiong is the Yin of Yingtian Prefecture, with a third-grade official, which is higher than the fourth-grade official of Shangfu Prefecture. In terms of seniority, Zhang Zhou could call himself a student in front of Wu Xiong, but Zhang Zhou did not take the initiative. The reason why he was demoted was because he knew that he didn't need to have anything to do with Wu Xiong.
As soon as he sat down, Wu Xiong said with a smile, "Jiangnan Township Examiner Jie Yuan, his appearance is dignified, he is really the best among people."
Zhang Zhou said, "Wu Fuyin has promoted me, I just Ordinary people."
Ms. Zhu Hu twisted the Buddhist beads in his hand and said with a leisurely and indifferent expression, "Zhang Jieyuan is not an ordinary person. You and my grandson went to the court to offer medicine to the princess and save the little princess. In times of crisis, this loyalty and courage have been praised by His Majesty, and my grandson has been kept in the capital by Your Majesty."
"Congratulations on that."
Zhang Zhou thought to himself, now that the thing is done, the person has been rescued, and Zhu Feng has been rewarded, what about mine
You won’t take my share for granted
< p>Wu Xiong looked impatient and said, "This is exactly why I am here. Your Majesty has issued an order to ask Zhang Jieyuan to quickly sort out the prescription for this medicine and send it to the capital by horseback. This year's northern pox is The epidemic of sores is serious, and the rescue cannot be delayed for a moment."Zhu Hu and Wu Xiong looked at Zhang Zhou at the same time, waiting for Zhang Zhou to give the prescription.
Zhang Zhou sighed helplessly, showing his helplessness with his hands, and said, "The epidemic in the north is very serious. It has spread to the palace. I know it is very urgent."cut. But there is no prescription. "
"No." Wu Xiong was anxious and did not care about the dignity of the court official. He stood up and asked, "There is no prescription, how did you prepare the medicine?"
Zhang Zhou said, "Since the treatment is If you all know about this, then you should know that this medicine was passed down by alchemists. Since it is an elixir prescription and a talisman, it pays attention to key factors such as elixir, spiritual grass, furnace temperature, etc. How can you refine a magic medicine with just a prescription?"
"Ah this"
Wu Xiong panicked
The emperor specially ordered Ying Tianfu Yin to come to Zhang Zhou to ask for the prescription. If it doesn't work, then he, Ying Tianfu Yin, will also be held responsible.
Zhu Hu said calmly, "Zhang Jieyuan, you don't have to worry. As long as you tell us the prescription, the court will definitely find it, no matter how precious it is." , not to mention that there is a Master Li in the palace who can refine elixirs, and he can crack the elixir talisman no matter how complicated it is. "
When Wu Xiong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and kept echoing, "Yes, yes. ”
Zhang Zhou smiled.
To say that this ginger is still spicy, such difficult conditions for refining medicine can be solved by Zhu Hu.
But if you want to get a prescription from me for nothing
Don’t have those big dreams of spring and autumn
Tell the emperor that this thing is the pustular fluid of a sick cow
< p>That does not mean telling the emperor that I dare to inject something from a sick cow into your daughterIn a matter of minutes, you will go from a great achievement to a prison sentence
Even hundreds of years later, there are still many people who do not vaccinate cowpox. Rumors say that vaccinia will make cow hair and horns grow. Let people of this era know that this is what they inject into their bodies, which can promote vaccinia. It would be strange to open it
For Zhang Zhou, there are only two ways in front of him. One is that there is no prescription and there is no way to refine the medicine. The matter is over. Unless the alchemist is found. I came back, but I don’t know where the alchemist is. The acquaintance is just fate.
The second option is to raise cattle yourself and use live cattle to cultivate cowpox vaccine. p>
I'm sorry to find utensils to use as culture dishes. In this era of cell technology, cells cannot survive outside the living body, and in vitro culture is basically unfeasible.
Zhang Zhou did not go. In response to the matter of the prescription, he took the initiative to ask, "Mrs. Cheng Guo and Wu Fuyin, I dare to ask, since I have done a good job in presenting the medicine, is there any reward from your majesty?"
"Ah"< /p>
Zhu Hu is good at handling all kinds of big scenes, and Wu Xiong is also a scene person. Hearing Zhang Zhou's words, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
This is a prescription. Asking for rewards
I have seen philistines, but I have never seen such philistines. Don’t say you are Jiangnan Xiangxian Jieyuan, even an ordinary scholar knows the most basic etiquette, justice and shame
What should be given to you will be given to you, so what do you think?
Zhang Zhouze raised it with confidence
Raising cattle does not cost money
I sell it I finally made some money from food.Buying a cow these days costs two to three taels of silver, which is already considered cheap. If a big ox is strong enough to pull a plow, I guess you may not be able to buy it for even four or five taels. The few bucks I make can be enough to buy a few cows.
"This" since Zhang Zhou mentioned it, Zhu Hu couldn't help but smile bitterly and nodded after a little hesitation, "No matter what reward your majesty gives, Duke Chengguo will also have something extra for you. When you leave, Someone will carry it to you."
"Thank you very much."
After Zhang Zhou thanked him, he looked at Wu Xiong.
This clearly means that Duke Chengguo’s government gave it to me, what’s the price for you?
Wu Xiong was so angry.
This is talking to Jieyuan, a shameless villain, but that's all he has.
But he still had to endure the anger in his heart and asked coldly, "Should Tianfu give it to me?" If I receive your reward, you can hand over the prescription."
Zhang Zhou said, "I made a mistake. There is no prescription here, but if conditions permit, I can try to make some medicine in the future. Come out, the alchemist told me some of the tips before he traveled around the world, and also told me that it would take several days to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Nanjing City to refine the elixir. It cannot be done elsewhere."< /p>
Zhang Zhou’s words were extremely colorful.
It sounds nonsense, but there is only one miracle medicine in the world, and even the emperor has to come to me to ask for medicine. I can say whatever I want, and you won’t pay me anyway. , I won’t give medicine, what can you do to me?
Zhu Hu asked, “Is it because this is where the dragon rises?”
“Yes, yes, madam, you I understand so much." Zhang Zhou immediately responded with the look of a confidant.
Zi Buyu has strange powers and chaos, but Mrs. Cheng Guotai likes this tune, otherwise why would she have so many strings hanging on her body?
"That alchemist is not in Nanjing City"
When Wu Xiong heard this, his heart dropped even more.
Because there is another part of the emperor's order, which is to invite this half-immortal figure to the capital. It seems that the only person who can contact this alchemist now is Zhang Zhou.
Without Zhang Zhou’s guidance, even if someone met this alchemist on the road, no one would know him. Who knows which one he is?
It can almost be said that Zhang Zhou pointed at who he was. Who is the alchemist?
Zhang Zhou said, "It is impossible for such an expert to stay in one place. Therefore, Wu Fuyin, I am not going to give you face, but I really have nothing to do."
Wu Xiong was annoyed when he heard that.
Ying Tianfu Yin is really not a good official to be a candidate for.
"Wu Fuyin, looking at you like this, do you still want the magic medicine? Let me explain it first. I'm begging for a reward because although I passed the exam, my family is in a poor state, and it will definitely cost a lot to refine the magical elixir. At this time, I can't just choose inferior materials." Zhang Zhou asked for the reward. Be confident.
Wu Xiong is at a loss now and is looking for a prescription.Since we can't even go ahead with inviting alchemists, we can only do the next best thing and send the medicine to the capital.
Wu Xiong said, "Of course you can't."
Zhang Zhou smiled and cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I'll thank Wu Fuyin first."
"You don't need to thank me, just thank your Majesty."
"Oh, it seems that your Majesty still has a reward. Saying this, I am more motivated to do things."
Wu Xiong He glanced sideways at Zhang Zhou.
Who is this person? Is he a scholar?
Why does he sound more like a rogue in the market? Such a person would actually be appreciated by an expert from outside the world and let him offer sacrifices to the emperor. Why don't you find someone else for the medicine?
There is no way to find me. I, Yingtian Fuyin, don't have a way to offer this medicine?
After Zhang Zhou finished speaking, he stood up and saluted Zhu Hu. He said, "Mrs. Chengguo, it's getting late. It's important to go back and refine the medicine. This is a gift from my family."
Zhu Hu smiled and said, "I will have it prepared for you when I send you back." , carry it together."
"Okay, thank you, thank you." Zhang Zhou turned to look at Wu Xiong.
Wu Xiong was familiar with this scene.
After one family has been sued, then the other two families will be sued.
If there were others at the scene, this guy would probably beg for help one by one.
Wu Xiong said with a dark face, "The Yamen will prepare it for you and send it to your house."
At the end, he let out a long and heavy breath. Wu Xiong was probably preparing for the follow-up. Contact with people like Zhang Zhou makes me depressed. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
