Chapter Thirty-Eight: Scheming

Ning Xianmei smiled and said, "You are wandering on the street every day, but you didn't see anything coming back for your sisters. This Dragon Boat Festival, it happened to be the Guangcheng Temple Fair. If you see that good, you will bring a few for us. Wouldn't we pay the money then?"

Ning Chebao quickly smiled and said, "Where do you dare to ask for your sister's money? What do you like? Just tell us. If you meet me, Guan Bao will bring it back."

When Mrs. Jiang saw that the brothers and sisters were talking lively there, only Ning Xianbi and Bai Caizhi stood quietly outside the crowd. Looking at the figure, she felt a little lonely. So she waved and called the two to sit in front of her, talking to them in unison.

Ning Xianmei and others also finished talking to their brothers, so Ning Cheyu and others went out. Here, Old Mrs. Jiang asked Ning Xianbi: "How many years have you been studying with your third grandfather now? I have been going to school these few days. I heard that I will run there in my spare time. Those medicinal materials, medical books, etc. are so interesting?"

Ning Xianbi replied with a smile: "Yes, my granddaughter finds it interesting. It is also the green grass growing in the mountains. This may be useless, and that may make people numb. The ones growing among them may be good medicine for curing diseases. They are all the same green leaf clover species. Isn't that interesting?"

Old Mrs. Jiang laughed and said, "That's interesting. I'm afraid there are not many people who like to distinguish those herbs, and only those who study medicine like your third grandfather likes it. They squat on the ground and slid them down. They are so tired that their eyes are blurred. They may not be able to pick many herbs. What's the fun?"

Ning Xianbi smiled and said, "It's fine. Have our ancestors heard of all things being mutually rebellious? Grandpa San told me that in his early years he walked to the southwest and heard that there was a poisonous weed there. Once a person encountered it, it would wrap it around his legs. The sawtooth on the grass could cut the flesh and blood. This person would be poisoned immediately. In just two or three hours, without the antidote, he would die."

This is the first time Old Mrs. Jiang has heard this, and she was so excited. Mrs. Qu said in a silence: "Oh, there is such a domineering poisonous weed? It's really scary. No wonder people say that Lingnan and the southwest are not easy to live in. As expected, if you encounter this kind of weed, wouldn't you be sure to die?"

Ning Xianbi smiled and said, "What's interesting is that although this poisonous weed is domineering, if it is poisoned and struggles to walk around, within a hundred steps, there will be a kind of vine. Just put the flowers on the vine on the wound, and the toxin will be automatically sucked out by the flower, and then the person will be in danger. This is the principle of mutual generation and restraint of all things."

Everyone was relished when they heard the words, and even the sisters and Bai Caizhi widened their eyes.

In fact, this is the sequelae of Ning Xianbi's modern martial arts novels. At that time, she often saw some books mentioning the principle of "all things are mutually reborn and restrained", supplemented by some plots of finding spiritual medicine after being poisoned. She has always been half-believing and half-doubted about it. Once she asked Ning Derong, she realized that the principle of "all things are mutually reborn and restrained" is correct, but it is rare to see such coincidences. Only in the south where poisonous and miasma are rampant, this situation often occurs. The old man also used the things she experienced as an example to tell Ning Xianbi, so that what she said today was what she said.

Everyone was happy to hear that Old Mrs. Jiang couldn't help asking Ning Xianbi some ordinary health knowledge, and thought that it was difficult for her to avoid? Most people in the mansion knew about these things, but not many people like Ning Xianbi were clearly organized and explained the causes and consequences clearly. For a moment, everyone listened to her talking and found it interesting.

At the end, Ning Xianbi felt a little embarrassed when she saw everyone looking at her with loving eyes, knowing that she had enough of her show off this time.

The reason why I said so much today is to lay a solid foundation for future pharmaceutical production. By then, even if I really make those new drugs, it would not be very strange to think of her young age and having such achievements in medical care.

Because the concluding remarks were too many tonics in Fuzhong, too much is too much, which really attracted the attention of Mrs. Jiang. After hearing that people's bodies still need to be exercised on a daily basis, it is not appropriate to take supplements blindly. For example, every time a drug is made in Fuzhong, ginseng Yangrong Pills can even make thousands of pills. This medicine has a limited time limit. If you take too much, you will be able to overdo it. If you eat less, the rest will be difficult to give to others when they reach their age, and it will be wasted. After talking about this and this principle for a long time, it only made Mrs. Jiang and others feel "suddenly enlightened". At the same time, they can't help looking at Ning Xianbi.

Only Yuanshi was almost angry. She didn't know if Ning Xianbi's words were instigated by Yushi, but she thought it was like this in her heart. Just because of the pollen money this month, she only granted Yushi twenty taels of silver, which was half less than the previous forty taels.

In fact, it is enough to buy rouge powder for the twenty taels in a month. However, in the past, forty taels were used, and all the buys were good. She could also greedy for ten to fifteen taels of silver in the bunch. Now that she has half of it, Yu just can't be greedy. In addition, the quality of rouge powder obtained by the people is slightly worse, which is naturally not a big deal. It can only be said that she took this opportunity to exclaim in her heart.

Who would have thought that she only gave Yu a twenty tael yesterday, but Ning Xianbi's words today cost her one or two hundred taels of silver a year.

The Earl's Mansion takes individual tonic pills and pills for treating various common diseases every year. They are made every three months, and are mostly entrusted to a proper pharmacy outside. Not to mention the profits of this, as long as Yuanshi reports more tonics in the account in the name of "care", no one can say anything, and she will naturally benefit from it.

However, today Ning Xianbi said, "too many tonics, too much is too much", and Old Mrs. Jiang immediately spoke, asking to reduce the tonics in half in the future. After careful calculation, the loss is not even one or two hundred taels, or three hundred taels, which is probably also true. Why don't Yu's heartache and pain?

Mrs. Qu and Yu knew the tricks, and Old Lady Jiang might not know it, but everyone was just tacit. At this time, Ning Xianbi's words were just convenient for the old Lady to give orders. Because Yuanshi's eyes looked at Ning Xianbi again for the rest of the time, she gritted her teeth.

Ning Xianbi just did not know, and even Yu was shocked and wondered, thinking that this was just what his daughter said without intention? Or did she deliberately seize this opportunity to avenge herself? Thinking of her daughter's temperament, she still couldn't believe that her daughter could have such a scheming, maybe she was just talking so much.
