    "Girl, it's time to take medicine." Cheng Lingxiu put down the langhao pen in her hand and looked back to see Aunt Gui walking by. "Girl, the sun is nice today. You can go for a walk in the yard." Aunt Gui was about to  Put it on the Eight Immortals table and then clean up the house.

    Cheng Lingxiu sighed and thanked sweetly. Aunt Gui smiled with her wrinkled face and praised: "You are such a sweet girl. I have good news for you. Starting tomorrow, there will be internal affairs."  The nanny of the palace is here to teach you how to write etiquette. The Queen Mother has given her a favor and allows you to stay in the palace and serve her. You must learn etiquette well. If you win the favor of the Queen Mother, you will be able to live a good life in the future."

    Cheng Lingxiu's eyes flashed with joy, but then she calmed down and said sadly: "I originally wanted to avenge my grandfather, but now that my great revenge has been avenged, my wish is over. Even if Lingxiu dies now, I can rest in peace and don't think too much about anything else."  what."

    Aunt Gui frowned slightly and said: "Silly girl, what are you talking about? What about immortality? The Queen Mother has pity on your life experience. In addition, Huang Yuanping and your grandfather are old friends, so you have this grace. You must do your best.  To serve the Queen Mother, do you understand?" Cheng Lingxiu smiled slyly, nodded obediently, and then drank a bowl of medicine.

    After a while, Cheng Lingxiu and Grandma Gui were about to go for a walk in the courtyard when Huang Jingci suddenly came to visit and had to go inside to sit down and talk.

    Huang Jingci looked good, not as dignified as the previous days. Cheng Lingxiu was smart and knew that since the Queen Mother had shown grace to herself, she would also spare Huang Jingci.  After sitting down on both sides, Huang Jingci said with a smile: "How is your pulse today? Have you ever taken a pulse yourself?"

    Cheng Lingxiu nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, it has been cut. It's nothing serious."

    Huang Jingci hummed, took out a box of plaster from his arms and said, "This is Da Nei's secret recipe Pearl Beauty Cream. It is most effective in removing scars and old scars. Although the scars on your shoulders cannot be seen, they will be visible after you get married."  I can¡¯t let my husband see it, so it¡¯s better to rub it more and make it lighter.¡±

    Cheng Ling¡¯s Xiu Xiu¡¯s face turned red. Aunt Gui frowned and said, ¡°Huang Yuanjian, she is still a yellow flower girl, what crazy things are you saying.¡±

    Huang Jingci laughed and said: "When I was together, I was considered a brother and sister with this girl's grandfather. Now that Brother Tieqiao is driving to the west, Lingxiu is lonely. I take care of her as my own granddaughter. I am also the same person on the left and right, and there is one  It would be nice for my granddaughter to take care of her in the future, and my grandfather and granddaughter don¡¯t have to be so isolated." After saying this, she looked at Cheng Lingxiu and said with a smile, "Lingxiu, are you willing?"

    Cheng Lingxiu blinked her eyes.  He hurriedly stood up and bowed down and said: "This is the blessing of Lingxiu. Naturally, I am very willing."

    Huang Jingci laughed and was in a good mood. At that moment, Cheng Lingxiu asked Aunt Gui to serve tea, and Huang Jingci took the main seat. He kowtowed and served tea as a salute.

    Then Huang Jingci took Cheng Lingxiu for a walk in the courtyard. As he walked, Huang Jingci said: "You are a smart girl, and you know how to bury the important evidence, the jug, under the tree. If it weren't for Li Ding that day,  The young man is digging at your house. I may not be able to find you yet, which shows that there is a certain destiny."

    Cheng Lingxiu's eyes turned red and she said: "Grandpa died in an unknown manner. Lingxiu naturally wants to seek justice for him, but Brother Li Ding doesn't know anything. He also said that our family met a thief."

    Huang Jingci sighed and said, "Empress Dowager Jing's health has been getting worse and worse these past few days. That's just the past few days. Although our hospital has doctors on duty serving there every day, but  There is always a difference between men and women. You have good medical skills. Although you are not a doctor, you are still a girl. Sometimes it is more convenient to take care of these women in the palace. Tomorrow I will start learning palace etiquette, and I may go there later.  The Queen Mother is waiting by her side, that¡¯s what the Queen Mother means.¡±

    Cheng Lingxiu didn't know who the Empress Dowager was. When she asked, she found out that she was the biological mother of Prince Gong and Prince Chun. She had been taking care of Xianfeng's Imperial Concubine Jing. After Xianfeng's death, she was honored as the Empress Dowager. However,  My body is getting weaker every day.

    Cheng Lingxiu followed and said to Huang Jingci: "Grandpa Huang, I have something I want to entrust to Brother Li Ding."

    Huang Jingci smiled and said, "What? Are you giving something to your brother Li again?"

    Cheng Lingxiu smiled shyly and nodded, and Huang Jingci said: "Li Ding has saved your life, so it is appropriate to give you more things to repay. But you still remember not to communicate with outsiders or send money or objects."  That¡¯s all, don¡¯t take any words out.¡±

    Cheng Lingxiu responded: "Lingxiu knows."

    Huang Jingci hummed and said, "Give me the things and I will deliver them to you later."

    Cheng Lingxiu said happily: "Thank you, Grandpa Huang." Then she returned to the house and handed a package of things to Huang Jingci.  After Huang Jingci took the things, he gave Cheng Lingxiu a few words and then returned to Tai Hospital.

    Arriving at Taiyuan Hospital¡¯s study room, Huang JingciWhen she opened the bag, she saw a pair of cotton shoes and some scattered silver. The money was given to Cheng Lingxiu by herself. It seemed that the little girl had made a pair of cotton shoes for her sweetheart. She smiled knowingly and said nothing.  Suspecting him, he ordered the servants who were carrying medicinal materials from Tai Hospital to follow him out of the palace and take the things to the inn to Chengde.

    Two days later, the things were delivered to Chengde. After Li Ding received them, he immediately gathered in the house with Zhao Jia, Liu Yi and others. Li Ding tore open the soles of his cotton shoes, but there was a secret message hidden inside. When he opened it, he found it.  Li Ding's tense face finally relaxed when he saw Cheng Lingxiu saying that the Queen Mother had no intention of killing someone to silence her.

    Liu Yi smiled and said: "Look at you like this, worry is written all over your face."

    Li Ding frowned and said, "Can you not be worried? This is a dangerous move for Axiu. She went with the idea that if she didn't enter the tiger's den, she would catch the tiger's cubs. She was sent to Na Tai Hospital before her injuries could be cured.  Now, she was later brought back to the capital. She knows the true cause of the Dog Emperor¡¯s death, which is a very secret matter. If you are not careful, you will be silenced.¡±

    Zhao Jia touched his goatee and said: "This little girl went with the belief that she would die. In order to avenge her grandfather, she did not hesitate to reveal the secret. She is considered a wise, brave and filial person. Now that I think about it, it was a dangerous move, but  I didn¡¯t expect that people from the Imperial Hospital would find out about the Cheng family. It seems that the people in the palace are really not simple."

    Liu Yi said: "Yeah, fortunately, Li Ding acted according to the opportunity at that time. The people from the Tai Hospital and Mr. An didn't have any suspicion about us. Miss Cheng also took the overall situation into consideration and was willing to enter the palace to do this undercover job, so we could send people to do it."  We have to go in, otherwise the people we have placed in the palace as handymen, servants, and Sula will have to wait until what year and month to come forward. Now, Miss Cheng arrived at the Queen Mother in no time, and the news she got will definitely be  More."

    Li Ding frowned and said: "I'm still a little worried about her. She is a little girl and has not received formal training. Fortunately, the information these few times came from Huang Jingci. This Huang Yuanjian is a good doctor, but there is nothing wrong with her.  She was scheming and couldn't detect anything, but she would have to face people like Queen Mother Qingyao later, so she was afraid of being seen out."

    Zhao Jia patted him on the shoulder and said: "The little girl is smart. Last time it was a small hat, and this time it was a pair of cotton shoes, with letters sandwiched inside. In the future, if she wins the favor of Queen Mother Qingyao, she can be like An An  Eunuchs can come and go freely like eunuchs, so what are you worried about?" He paused and then said: "It's very inconvenient for us to send news in Chengde. I plan to open a medicine shop in the capital, firstly to raise some funds, secondly to deceive others, and thirdly.  The closer we are, the faster news comes and goes.¡±

    Liu Yi nodded and said: "That's right, but why do we open a pharmacy?"

    Zhao Jia smiled and said: "Ms. Cheng is proficient in medical skills, and Huang Yuanpan is also from the Taiyuan Hospital. Only when we open a medicine shop and have more contact with them will we be able to keep a close eye on others. It will be easier to cover up. Then it's settled, we will be in Zhili branch."  Move to the capital as soon as possible. A Ding, please bring a message to Miss Cheng. Tell her that we plan to open a pharmacy in the capital and ask her to take care of her. Huang Jingci is from Tai Hospital. We can offer some prescriptions from the hospital.  , win his trust, so that you can act more conveniently."

    A few days later, Li Ding's reply arrived in Huang Jingci's hands. It was not that Huang Jingci wanted to read it. When the postman brought the letter, there was heavy rain on the road and the letter got wet. Huang Jingci had to open it to dry.  Seeing that Li Ding said some words of thanks above, he finally just said that he wanted to come to the capital to open a medicine shop, and asked Cheng Lingxiu to ask Huang Yuanpian for help in finding a good shop. He also said that there were several family medicine prescriptions that were of no use, so he could give Huang Yuanpian  As the icing on the cake.

    After reading it, Huang Jingci felt that he could help. Moreover, he had recently been ordered to compile the medical books of the Qing Imperial Hospital, and he also needed to collect more folk prescriptions.  At that moment, Huang Jingci took the letter and went to the palace to see Cheng Lingxiu and told the whole story.

    Cheng Lingxiu also knew that Li Ding would not say anything secret in such an open letter, but originally it was a bit difficult to ask Huang Jingci for help, but seeing that Huang Jingci seemed willing to help, there was no need to lobby.

    So Huang Jingci found a shop in Jiangmi Lane in the west of the capital. This Jiangmi Lane was originally the end of the water transportation area. There were many merchants coming and going, and it was also very convenient to sell medicinal materials. It was still a bit expensive for Huang Jingci to choose this place.  thought.  Jiangmi Lane was divided into two halves during the Ming Dynasty. The east side is Dongjiangmi Lane, which is now the place where the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple and Huitong Hall are located. However, it mainly only receives people from Annan, Mongolia, Korea, and Myanmar.  There were envoys from a vassal country, so the Huitong Pavilion was also called the "Siyi Pavilion", while Xijiangmi Lane was mostly a gathering place for water transport merchants. It had many shops, warehouses, markets, etc., and it was also an extremely lively place.  Dongjiangmi Lane later became the famous Dongjiaomin Lane in the capital, where embassies from various countries were concentrated.

    A few days later, Zhao Jia, Li Ding and others came to the capital. Naturally, they were extremely grateful to Huang Jingci, so they paid some money to rent a shop and opened a medicine shop. At the same time, Li Ding offered several gifts.Huang Jingci, a well-known doctor in the world, presented the secret recipe that the Jingwei Museum had collected from the people. He knew the beauty of it at a glance and couldn't put it down immediately. He also told several people that if they find such a secret recipe again, they must give it to them.  into his hands.

    ¡°In this way, Bai Zetang¡¯s Zhili Branch finally established a foothold in the capital, and even established a line with the people in the palace.  Later, Huang Jingci also took care of this medicine shop. When the palace purchased medicinal materials, he also gave some shares to Zhao Jia and others. Zhao Jia and others could also deliver medicine to the palace. Cheng Lingxiu also often visited the imperial hospital and the Qing Palace.  The news that Cheng Lingxiu could find out was continuously sent to the south through these channels.  (To be continued)
