Hearing the governor’s words, Song Wan Yue’s heart twitched and she pretended to frown for a while before returning, “Yes, it can, but the cost is going to be very high.”
“Silver is not a problem ……”
The words came out of his mouth in a hurry, and the governor realized he had said the wrong thing, so he was busy covering up again, “My mother is already old, I don’t want her to suffer from the pain of drinking medicine again, as long as Miss Song can make the pills, I will find a way no matter how much silver it costs.”
Song Wan Yue pretended not to hear his cover-up and nodded her head in praise, “Your Excellency is so filial, you are indeed a model for all people in the world. How about this, you will only pay for the herbs and I will make the pills for you for free.”
The governor was a little surprised, but he had been an official for many years and reacted quickly, and quickly thanked him, “Please write down the list, I will go and have someone buy the herbs.”
Song Wangyue had some difficulty.
The governor immediately understood and slapped his forehead, “I was in too much of a hurry, I’ll have the housekeeper go with the girl with the silver.”
Song Wan Yue got up, “Besides the medicine for diabetes we also need medicine for heart disease, so we need to bring more silver.”
The governor ordered it down and personally escorted Song Wan Yue out.
Meng Cheng waited uneasily in the courtyard, and when he saw Song Wan Yue come out, he immediately greeted her, and just as he was about to ask, he saw the governor in his official uniform, and immediately had to kneel down and bow, “Greetings, Your Excellency.”
Seeing him coming towards Song Wangyue, the governor guessed that he was from the Meng family and gave him a hand, “This is the back house, no need to be polite.”
From his help, he knew that Song Wangyue must have found out her illness, so Meng Cheng felt a little more at ease, “Thank you, Your Excellency.”
“Cousin, you follow me to buy some herbs.”
Meng Cheng answered, bowed towards the governor again, and followed the housekeeper out of the courtyard with Song Wan Yue before he was completely relieved, looking at the housekeeper in front of him, he held back the words in his heart and inclined his head to ask Song Wan Yue with his eyes what was going on.
Song Wangyue winked at him, signalling him to put his mind at ease.
When he got out of the courtyard and saw Song Wangyue get into the carriage, Meng Cheng handed the horse’s reins to the underlings and followed him up.
He was already fifteen years old, and in order to avoid suspicion, he never rode in the carriage with Song Wan Yue whenever he went out with her these days, but now he couldn’t care less.
“Why are you going to buy medicine?”
Song Wan Yue told the governor about the request to make pills and her promise to make them for free.
After saying that, she moved closer to Meng Cheng and whispered a few words in his ear.
Meng Cheng’s eyes widened in shock, “You, you, you ……”
Song Wangyue cunningly stroked her small chin and pressed her voice, “Treacherous businessman, treacherous businessman, no treacherous businessman, I always have to be right about this.”
Meng Cheng lost his smile, “You are really ……”
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re getting into.
The best pharmacy in Jinling City is where the butler took them, and Song Wangyue didn’t make a list, but dictated to the shopkeeper one herb at a time, and there were many of each.
The shopkeeper knew the housekeeper and did not dare to be slow, so he prepared everything according to what she said.
After Song Wangyue had examined them, she went back to the carriage and waited.
The butler went to settle the bill and when he saw the amount, he couldn’t help but let out a breath of cold air, it had cost 15,000 taels.
Seeing his expression, the shopkeeper was busy explaining, “There are several valuable herbs in here, and the quantity wanted is large, so ……”
The steward knew he didn’t have the guts to cheat himself, so he took out the silver ticket and paid the silver, with an extra eye, “You write down all those herbs just now, I’ll have someone come and get them later.”
The shopkeeper answered yes.
Only then did the housekeeper go out, and when the herbs were all carried to the carriage, asked, “Miss Song, these herbs ……”
“Send them to the Meng family, I’ll try to make all the pills within two days.”
The housekeeper responded and instructed the carriage driver to go to the Meng family.
After they left, Meng Yang was very uneasy and sent a subordinate to guard the gate, telling him to hurry to report when he saw Song Wangyue and Meng Cheng return.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the subordinate darted in to report, “Miss Song and the Third Prince have returned, and brought a large cart of medicinal herbs with them.”
Meng Yang hurriedly went out, and before he reached the door, he saw Song Wangyue and Meng Cheng come in. Seeing the two of them still talking and laughing, Meng Yang’s heart, which had been hanging in the air, fell back and stopped, waiting for the two to approach.
Song Wangyue saw her first and took a few quick steps to reach him, “Uncle grandfather.”
“Why have you brought back herbs?”
“I want to make some pills for the governor. Uncle grandfather, you can choose some clever servants for me, these pills are very important and I need to make them within two days. ”
There, after the pills were delivered, the steward walked back and ordered someone to go to the pharmacy to get the list, and when he returned to the house the list was also brought back.
The governor took a look at it and gave him the list again, “Put it away, and when the pills are delivered, find a doctor to come and examine them.”
The steward answered.
……
Meng Jiao hadn’t seen Song Wan Yue for several days, and had thought of going to look for her tomorrow, but once she returned to the house and heard that she had returned, she ran over in a gust of wind, her voice coming before she arrived, “Yue’er.”
Song Wangyue was instructing several underlings to sort herbs, when she heard the shout, she smiled and looked towards the courtyard door, watching Meng Jiao running in with her skirt without any image.
“Cousin.”
“Haven’t seen you for a few days, missed you to death ……”
The words were not finished when he saw the yard full of herbs and paused, asking curiously, “What are you doing here?”
“Making pills.”
Hearing that they were making pills, Meng Jiao’s eyes lit up and she immediately said, “What do you need me to do?”
Meng Cheng was also there, looking down and cutting herbs, when he looked up at the words, he deliberately said, “There’s still a pounder missing.”
“I will.”
Meng Jiao stroked his sleeve upwards, and Meng Cheng wanted to cover his face as he watched, he finally knew why those teaching gentlemen had been pissed off one by one.
Song Wangyue smiled and pulled Meng Jiao’s sleeve down, “Cousin is just kidding with you.”
Meng Jiao gave Meng Cheng a fierce glare and grabbed Song Wangyue’s arm to shake it, “I really know how to work, let me help you.”
“Then cousin will cut the herbs in cousin’s place.”
Meng Jiao was pleased with herself and walked over to shoo Meng Cheng, “Get out of the way! Didn’t you hear Yue’er say to let me cut?”
“Cousin.”
Meng Cheng looked at Song Wan Yue pitifully, prompting a soft laugh from Song Wan Yue, “Cousin go and help me fetch Sister Daya back, I need him to play.”
Not to shoo him away, Meng Cheng was relieved and got up to fetch Daya, he had just taken two steps when Song Wangyue shouted, “Don’t tell me that Father and Mother asked Sister Daya to help them come back to make the pills.”
If Xu and Song Lin had known, they would have followed them back.
Meng Cheng responded.
By the end of the day, all the herbs had been processed and Daya was picked up.
The following day, Song Wangyue and Daya both started making the pills.
Meng Jiao and Meng Cheng both wanted to see the new pills, but they knew that it was a secret recipe and were too embarrassed to come back to Song Wangyue’s yard.
A day later, the pills were all cured and Song Wan Yue personally sent them over.
