Chapter 16 Making things difficult for Shang Shu's mother and daughter(1/2)
Xi Chuyu's shout immediately alarmed the entire Shangshu Mansion.
Upon hearing her daughter's shrill wails, Mrs. Shangshu hurried to her daughter's room.
"What...what's going on? The lady was fine when she was having breakfast. Why did she look like this when she turned around?"
Mrs. Shangshu looked at Xi Chuyu who was hiding under the quilt, whining and wailing. She lifted the quilt to see her daughter's condition and asked the maid in the house.
"Madam, I don't know what's going on!"
Seeing Mrs. Shangshu's rage, the maid fell to her knees on the ground with a thump.
"After the second lady came back from the eldest lady's courtyard, she was not very happy. She drove all the slaves out. The slave was worried that staying in the house would make the second lady unhappy, so she withdrew. However, as soon as the slave stepped out,
Miss Hindfoot is rolling all over the floor!"
The maid replied tremblingly.
"We quickly put the second lady on the bed, and then we saw powder sprinkled next to the dressing table..."
Mrs. Shangshu followed the direction pointed by the maid and saw the jade-colored powder dumped aside, and she suddenly felt relieved.
"go out!"
"Everyone, get out of here and call a doctor! The second young lady has become like this, are you all dead?"
Mrs. Shangshu roared angrily, and the waiters in the room quickly started working around.
Seeing that there was no one around, the madam tugged open a corner of the brocade quilt and pulled out her daughter Xi Chuyu.
"How did I give birth to a daughter as stupid as yours?"
"What effect does that medicine have? You asked your maid to buy it, but you don't know it? Why did you think so hard that you poured it on yourself?"
Mrs. Shangshu complained and felt distressed. She looked at Xixi Chuyu who was pulled out of the brocade quilt and her whole body looked like a red shrimp. She kept hunching her waist and burying her head.
"Mother has driven away those servants, so you don't need to hide under the quilt. Take out the antidote from the powder and take it quickly, so that you won't lose face in front of those servants."
Mrs. Shangshu pushed the man away because she wanted to take Xi Chuyu's face into consideration.
"Mother... mother..."
Xi Chuyu raised her head timidly, but it was a good thing she didn't look at it. The sight almost made Mrs. Shangshu fall from the bed to the ground.
"You...why did your face become like this?"
Xi Chuyu's flower-like face was now covered with bloodstains, and Mrs. Shangshu was worried about having nightmares at night just by looking at it.
"Where's the antidote? Where's the antidote! Get the antidote quickly! If you continue to scratch this, is there any man in Kyoto who dares to marry you?"
Mrs. Shangshu grabbed Xi Chuyu's hands that wanted to scratch the itch and urged her to speak.
"If my daughter had the antidote, she would have used it long ago!"
"Mother, save me!"
"I can't control my hands now, you... tie my hands, otherwise I will become a complete ugly monster like Xi Qingyan!"
Xi Chuyu cried out to Madam Shangshu with runny nose and tears.
She clearly saw that Xi Qingyan had no reaction at all to the medicinal powder, so why did she feel itchy after just touching it?
"You reckless child, you prepared the poison and didn't even know you bought the antidote as well?"
Mrs. Shangshu took out the handkerchief from her sleeve and tied Xi Chuyu's hands in accordance with her daughter's words. She was full of hatred that iron cannot become steel.
"I want to poison that ugly monster Xi Qingyan, why do I need to prepare the antidote?"
Xi Chuyu scratched her heart and liver with itch, and felt extremely irritated after hearing Madam Shangshu's words!
"You...don't go to those quack doctors, go to the Miracle Medical Pavilion quickly! Mother, ordinary doctors can't cure my daughter!"
Divine Doctor Pavilion.
The Valley of Divine Doctors sells all medicines from the hands of miracle doctors.
Xi Chuyu remembered that she had been sick before, and the miracle doctor had cured her in two or two strokes. Since the person who tied the bell had to be tied to untie the bell, finding the Miracle Doctor Pavilion was the best way to detoxify her.
"Okay! Mother will send someone to the Miracle Medical Pavilion now!"
Mrs. Shangshu, mother and son suffered the consequences and hurriedly searched for the miracle doctor in the Divine Doctor Pavilion.
Xi Qingyan was curious about Xi Chuyu's sprinkling of the medicinal powder she made on her clothes, so she slipped out of the Shangshu Mansion and went to the largest divine doctor's pavilion in Kyoto.
"Miss, what medicine do you want to buy?"
The steward of the Divine Medical Pavilion saw a guest coming to the door and greeted him.
Xi Qingyan looked at her disfigured face. No one in the Divine Doctor Pavilion recognized her as the master of the Valley, the miracle doctor with both medical and appearance skills. Xi Qingyan didn't want to say anything and threw the jade token in her arms directly.
"Valley...Valley Master?!"
Divine Medical Pavilion recognizes the brand but not the person.
The sign that Xi Qingyan threw over just now was the Valley Master's token of the Divine Doctor Valley.
"Valley Master, when did you come to Kyoto? Do you have something important to tell your subordinates when you come to the pavilion today?"
The steward returned the sign to Xi Qingyan intact with both hands and asked respectfully.
"I've been in Kyoto for two days. I'm not here today to check on the business in the pavilion," Xi Qingyan said as she walked up to the attic. "However, when people from the Minister of Rites' Mansion arrive later, no matter what they want to buy, you won't sell it."
Give it to them."
"Yes, Valley Master, I have noted it down."
"Someone from Shangshu's Mansion will come soon, and I will come and report in person."
"Well, go get busy."
Xi Qingyan stepped upstairs and found a private room to sit in and watch the show. Today, she asked Xi Chuyu and Mrs. Shangshu to remember that not everyone in this world can be messed with at will.
After the director of the Divine Medical Pavilion listened to the instructions of the Valley Master, within two seconds, the servants of the Shangshu Mansion rushed into the pavilion.
"Shopkeeper, I want the antidote to the itch powder! Hurry up and give us the antidote to the itch powder in your store!"
The servant of the Shangshu Mansion urged the director of the Divine Medical Pavilion, and then placed the box in his arms on the counter.
"Here are five hundred taels, you hurry up and get the medicine!"
The head of the Divine Medical Pavilion looked at the servant in front of him and realized that this was the "uninvited guest" mentioned by the Valley Master.
So he reached out and pushed the box back.
"Shopkeeper, what do you mean? Do you think these five hundred taels are too little?"
The servant was already waiting anxiously, but when he saw that the Divine Medical Pavilion did not give medicine, he became even more impatient.
"Don't worry, I will not miss your money. As long as you sell the medicine to me, I will never miss your money for the medicine!"
The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door.
The servants of the Minister of Rites saw that the Shenyi Pavilion was just a shop, so they pretended to be an uncle in front of the shopkeeper.
This kind of behavior made the director of the Divine Medical Pavilion very unhappy.
Although their Divine Medical Pavilion is just a medicine shop, everyone in the world will be respectful and kind when they see them. After all, you can wear good clothes and eat good food and wine, but you can't control yourself from getting sick.
Seeing that the servant of Shangshu Mansion looked down upon others, the head of the Divine Medical Pavilion sneered and stretched out a finger.
"One thousand taels?"
The servant thought that the shopkeeper was sitting on the floor raising the price, so he gritted his teeth and took out the extra five hundred taels that the lady had given him.
"Here! I've given you the money, shopkeeper, bring me the medicine!"
"Brother, did I say it's only one thousand taels? I stretched out one finger to mean ten thousand taels."
The director of the Divine Medical Pavilion was unhappy and deliberately made things difficult.
"One...ten thousand taels?!"
The servant was frightened by the master's asking price and fell to the ground. He stammered before finishing his words.
"Shopkeeper, are you out of your mind because of your poverty? So you dare to ask for an exorbitant price when you see me here alone? I can tell you that behind me is the Office of the Minister of Rites!"
"How dare you, a small pharmacy, to openly blackmail the Minister of Etiquette?"
According to the servants, their Minister of Rites is considered a prominent figure in Kyoto.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.
Merchants are the most humble.
The servants didn't believe that after he moved out of the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, the Divine Doctor Pavilion still dared to sit down in front of him and raise the price?
"Brother, are you threatening the Divine Doctor Pavilion?"
The manager asked with a sneer.
"So what if I threaten you? Let me tell you, if you don't know how to take out the medicine, my master will lead his troops to raid your medicine shop! I want to see whether our master's weapons are stronger or your words are stronger!"
Dogs rely on human power.
It's a pity that this method is useless for the Valley of Miracle Doctors.
