Drunk House

  Chapter 371 Scarcity (one more)

  Zhou Gu's face changed, he felt that his head was not clean, and it smelled of bugs.

  He silently took out the handkerchief, trying to wipe off the smell of the bug, but just put it on the top of his head, he paused again, thinking that if he wiped off the smell of the bug, wouldn't it also wipe off the sense of touch of Su Rong's hand?

  He was a little unwilling, and endured it, and finally put the handkerchief back into his arms.

  Su Rong turned his head and glanced at him, reminding him, "Now you despise these bugs, but you don't know that after you leave Beijing, whenever there is any inconvenience in the future, you will sleep in the barren mountains and wild mountains, under the sky and on the ground. Don't you want to sleep then?"

   "I can sleep in a tree."

  Su Rong nodded, "But there are also insects crawling on the trees, and not all of these insects grow on the ground."

  Zhou Gu: "..."

  Su Rong commented on him, "Why are you so delicate."

  Zhou Gu: "..."

  He is a man, and she judged him to be squeamish, what good is that?

  He immediately expressed his opinion, "If there are one or two bugs, I am naturally not afraid, but with so many bugs crawling together, I suddenly see... I have to get used to it for a while..."

  Su Rong nodded, and instructed him bluntly, "Then you should get used to it and help me catch bugs."

  Zhou Gu: "..."

  He regretted coming so early, he should have waited another half an hour, when her worms should be almost caught.

  He sighed resignedly, nodded, "Okay!"

   Following Su Rong's example, he approached the bug awkwardly, closed his eyes, grabbed it, and quickly put it into the jar. Suddenly, he found that it wasn't that difficult, and he was relieved.

  He is a big man, so he can't really be afraid of bugs.

  Su Rong gave him the task of catching bugs with confidence, and pointed out what kind of bugs to throw into which jar, Zhou Gu nodded and followed suit, Su Rong freed his hand, and began to pick herbs.

   Zhou Gu worked hard for a long time, and after catching all the bugs, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and went to wash his hands.

  Su Rong glanced at him in time, and saw that he had rubbed his hands with saponin for half a cup of tea. She was amused, and asked him intentionally, "Are you used to it?"

  Zhou Gu coughed lightly, "It's almost there!"

   Anyway, he doesn't want to touch bugs anymore.

  Su Rong nodded, and while picking herbs for mixing, he asked him: "I heard that you went to the palace today to meet His Majesty?"

  Zhou Gu let out a "hmm".

   "When are you leaving?"

   "It was originally scheduled for tomorrow, but if you give me medicine, I can delay it by a day or two." Zhou Gu returned to her side, "What else can I do?"

  Su Rong pointed to the medicine stove not far away, and pointed to a medicine book on the table, "Help me move that medicine stove, and then bring that book, and help me choose the herbs and distribute the portion according to the prescription in that book."

  Zhou Gu nodded, brought the medicine stove to Su Rong, and went to get the medicine book on the table. He opened the medicine book, and after reading it, he was shocked, "Where did this book come from? Why are you so..."

   "So precious?" Su Rong took the words.

  Zhou Gu looked at the prescription for making fat jade satin ointment on the first page, and choked out two words, "Scarcity."

  Su Rong is noncommittal, isn't it scarce? Now she does it herself, as long as there are enough medicinal materials, she can make hundreds of bottles of the creamy jade satin ointment in a bottle of thousands of gold. However, there is a reason why this thing is expensive. The medicinal materials are really hard to find. Now if Feng Ling buys these medicinal materials, her various poisons, detoxification medicines, and good medicines for healing, etc., if she makes two bottles, and then makes fat jade satin ointment, it will be enough to get three or five bottles.

  Zhou Gu approached Su Rong, "You haven't said where this book came from?"

  Su Rong didn't hide it from him, "On the day I lived in the Great Buddha Temple, Feng Ling and I borrowed it from the Library Pavilion of the Great Buddha Temple."

  Zhou Gu suddenly looked at her, "It's not borrowing, but stealing?"

  Su Rong glared at him, "Feng Ling donated 5,000 taels of sesame oil money. It was a loan. It was just that I borrowed it with my eyes, and didn't take out the original."

  Zhou Gu coughed and sighed, "Your eyes are really useful. If only I had eyes like yours. I've always been thinking about the rare books in the library in the palace, but I don't have your ability to borrow them."

  Su Rong paused, thinking that she had heard him mention it when she was in Jiangning County, and she seemed to have promised him at that time, so she said to him: "Why don't we go to the palace for a walk?"

  Zhou Gu blinked and blinked, "Is it okay?"

   "It's fine, Your Majesty is ill, I have to go to the palace to see His Majesty anyway." Su Rong pondered, "I'm his niece after all, if I don't even show my face, I can't justify it."

   "What about me? I just entered the palace today." He was thinking about why he had to go with Su Rong.

   "You are here to make medicine." Su Rong said: "Feng Ling will follow me tomorrow, if we can cooperate well, you don't have to go."

  Zhou Gu: "..."

  He opened his mouth, "I make medicine?"

   "It's very simple, I'll teach you, and you'll definitely learn it in one night." Su Rong decided that one thing would be quick, "That's it, come on, you have to work harder for the medicine you bring with you. You have been to the Library Pavilion, and tell me carefully, where is the rare book hidden, and what should I pay attention to. I will ask His Majesty to go in openly tomorrow, and then try to find a way to help you borrow it with your eyes. Don't make trouble."

  Although Zhou Gu wanted to go very much, he couldn't think of a reason to go with Su Rong, so he could only nod, "Okay!"

  So, he told Su Rong carefully about the location of the rare books in Zangshu Pavilion and the things that need attention.

  After hearing this, Su Rong felt that it shouldn't be difficult. Even if there was a mechanism, it should be similar to the mechanism of the Great Buddha Temple. So, she began to teach Zhou Gu how to make medicine.

  Zhou Gu is a very smart person. Although he doesn’t have Su Rong’s photographic memory, he is one of the rare smart people. He can learn many things after reading it. At the same time, he also cherishes the opportunity to do things with Su Rong, and he is very serious about learning.

  Su Rong said: "This book is for you. You can take it with you. Once the medicine I prepared for you is gone, you can make it yourself after you learn it."

  Zhou Gu paused, "Is this book for me?"

   "Well, I gave it to you."

  Zhou Gu looked at her and whispered, "This book is written in wild cursive. Is it your handwriting? Wouldn't it be good if you gave me your handwriting?"

  Su Rong didn't look at him, "If you think it's not good, then don't?"

  Zhou Gu immediately gripped the book tightly, "I still need it."

  Su Rong rolled his eyes at him, "Then what are you talking about?"

   Zhou Gu fell silent.

  The smell of medicine in the room was very mixed. Su Rong and Zhou Gu were making medicine all night long. At dawn, more than a dozen bottles and cans were produced. Su Rong looked at the results with satisfaction and said, "Not bad."
