Chapter 555: Old things

Chapter 555 Old things

Gu Jinli still took the Chu family name card from Chu Jiapei and said, "Can you please, Aunt Chu, thank Miss Ran for me for letting her spend the money."

Aunt Chu said: "If you want to thank me, it is my eldest lady who wants to thank you. If it were not for the girl, my eldest lady... would have died in vain."

 At the end of the sentence, Aunt Chu was choked up.

After hearing this, Gu Jinli asked: "Mother Chu, is Miss Ran looking for someone to give her a poison mixed with multiple medicinal materials?"

Mother Chu nodded: "Yes, I'm looking for him, but I'm just suspicious that the doctor doesn't have this ability."

"The person who knows this kind of poisoning method may not necessarily be a doctor, but may also be a medicine boy who is familiar with various medicinal materials." Gu Jinli thought for a while and said: "Do you suspect any of the people who open a medicine shop? Or are there any of the people you suspect? A drug boy who specializes in taking medicine? You can check this aspect."

Although doctors can treat patients, they may not know as much about medicines as the medicine boys who specialize in medicines. Just like modern doctors and pharmacists, pharmacists are people who know more about the types and effects of medicines than doctors.

After hearing this, Grandma Chu stood up suddenly. She remembered... the old lady's dowry included a pharmacy. Because Mrs. Shen was pregnant with her first child, she was a twin and her belly was too big and she was born prematurely. The eldest young master and the second young lady were not in good health, so Mrs. Shen asked the old lady to hire a doctor from the drug store. Several medicine boys who understand pharmacology came to take care of him.

Mama Chu's eyes were red. The eldest lady guessed right. The old lady might be related to this matter... Do you really think that the second lady is a lucky one, while the eldest lady is the eldest daughter of a widowed woman and a bad person?

Mammy Chu felt sorry for Miss Ran. After suppressing the discomfort in her heart, she asked Gu Jinli a lot about Miss Ran's legs and feet, toxins, and non-poisonous medicines that would turn into poison when mixed together.

Gu Jinli spent half an hour telling Aunt Chu everything he needed to say, and finally reminded: "Miss Ran, why not choose a few people with good memories and send them to the drug store to study for more than five years. As long as they succeed, , it can be used for a lifetime.”

After hearing this, Aunt Chu stood up and thanked her: "Thank you very much for reminding me. I will tell the eldest lady what you said when I get back."

Wealthy families will raise doctors, but they look down on medicine boys. They think that a doctor is enough. Medicine boys are just people who take medicine, and they are not on the stage. Therefore, they never value medicine boys. Who knows that there are better medicine boys in the world? The doctor's business.

Seeing Grandma Chu's sincere attitude, Gu Jinli reminded her again: "In addition to medicinal materials, eating several seemingly non-poisonous foods together can produce toxins, which can harm people's bodies and sometimes their lives."

Mother Chu smiled and said, "We know this. There are dedicated cooks who understand this. Thank you for reminding me, girl."

Seeing that Aunt Chu and the others understood this, Gu Jinli didn't say anything more and followed Qin Sanlang to send Aunt Chu out of Jiang's house.

After Nanny Chu left, Qin Sanlang sent Gu Jinli back to the guest house.

On the way, he asked her: "Xiaoyu, will the medicinal materials conflict with the food you eat and become poisonous?"

Gu Jinli: "Yes. The medicine is not poisonous, and the food is not poisonous. But if there is a conflict, you may be poisoned if you drink the medicine after eating. Some toxins are strong and symptoms will appear soon, and some The toxin is small, and symptoms will appear only when it accumulates too much, and the time may span several years, or even more than ten years.”

She looked at Qin Sanlang and asked, "Why are you asking this? Are you afraid that one day you will be poisoned by eating or drinking medicine?"

She smiled and said: "Don't worry, the food we usually eat usually does not conflict with medicines, unless you eat something very strange, or you are deliberately framed by someone, and you are mixed with something that can stimulate the toxins of medicinal materials. You will be poisoned, just like Miss Ran.”

Qin Sanlang's steps slowed down: "I'm not worried about myself, I just think of an old thing."

"What's the matter?" Gu Jinli walked up to him, stopped, looked at his face and asked, "Have any relatives in your family been poisoned by this method?"

 Qin Sanlang was silent.

Gu Jinli: "Don't want to say? Or is it inconvenient to say? If you still remember what medicinal herbs and food your relatives ate at that time, you can tell me and I will see if eating them together will cause poisoning?" Qin Sanlang smiled and said: " I don’t remember anymore.”

After escaping all the way, Gu Jinli felt that he already knew him very well. After hearing this, he knew that he didn't want to talk anymore, so he had to walk away: "Then I'll go back."

Qin Sanlang took a few steps to catch up and asked, "Are you angry?"

Gu Jinli looked back at him: "No." In fact, there was one thing. Brother Qin actually kept a secret from her. A good partner should be honest. Suspicion and concealment will destroy the relationship between partners.

Qin Sanlang finally understood her. He walked up to her and blocked her path: "It's my dad. He used to be in good health. In my grandfather's words, he was as strong as an ox. But starting from three years ago, His health gradually deteriorated, and he was invincible on the battlefield, but in the end he died of exhaustion on the battlefield."

 After his father's death, Emperor Jingyuan launched a massive attack on Duke Wei's government, and all three of their clans were wiped out.

Qin Sanlang added: "Those who are slowly getting worse include some of my father's colleagues and my eldest brother."

It was not that he had no doubts, but he had no evidence. He only thought that his father, eldest brother, and several generals and uncles from Wei Guogong's line died on the battlefield because they were defeated by the enemy.

Now it seems that his father, eldest brother, and uncles' health will gradually deteriorate, and it is very likely that they were poisoned. The poisoning method used should be similar to Miss Ran's.

After hearing this, Gu Jinli suddenly asked: "Do you believe me so much? You don't need to say anything."

 Such a thing is considered a secret.

 “I have no intention of getting to the bottom of it, and I’m not angry with you.”

Qin Sanlang looked at her and smiled: "I know, but I want to tell you, because Xiaoyu deserves my trust."

 Because Xiaoyu deserves my trust.

Gu Jinli: “I’m a little touched.”

Qin Sanlang paused after hearing this, and his face felt a little hot. He didn't know what to say.

Gu Jinli knew that he loved to blush, so he guessed that he was embarrassed at this moment, so he asked him: "Do you know what medicine your father drank before his health started to get worse? What kind of medicinal materials were there? What kind of food did you eat? Those are all ?”

It may not be easy to think about if you are older and older.

 But Qin Sanlang admired his father the most, and he was very careful. After his father's health gradually deteriorated, he asked the housekeeper at home to bring out all the prescriptions his father had taken, and check them one by one. It's just that he is not proficient in pharmacology, so he doesn't see anything, but he still remembers the medicinal materials on the prescriptions.

He said: "I remember the names of the medicinal materials, but as for the food, my father is a big talker. Before his health deteriorated, he was injured by a knife. He disliked the pain of taking medicine, so when he was recovering from his injuries, he asked my mother to take medicine, but she must take it every day. Give him delicious food every meal, and give him enough food, otherwise he won’t take medicine. So the food he eats is so miscellaneous that it’s hard for me to remember everything at the moment.”
