Zhou Gu's face changed, and he felt that his head was dirty and contaminated with the smell of insects.
He silently took out the handkerchief and wanted to wipe away the smell of the bugs, but as soon as he put it on his head, he paused again, thinking that if he wiped away the breath of the bugs, wouldn't he also wipe away the touch of Su Rong's hand?
He was a little unwilling, so he endured it, and finally put the veil back in his arms.
Su Rong turned to look at him and reminded him, "Now that you dislike these bugs, you don't know that after you leave the capital, whenever there is an inconvenience to stay, you will sleep in the barren mountains and ridges, covering the sky and the ground. Then will you?
Aren’t you going to sleep?”
"I can sleep in a tree."
Su Rong nodded, "But there are also insects crawling on the trees, and not all of them grow on the ground."
Zhou Gu: "..."
Su Rong commented on him, "Why are you so squeamish?"
Zhou Gu: "..."
He is a man, but she says he is squeamish. What kind of good thing is this?
He immediately expressed his stance, "If it's just one or two bugs, I'm naturally not afraid of them, but with so many bugs crawling together, when I see them all at once... I have to get used to it for a while..."
Su Rong nodded and ordered him politely, "Then get used to it and help me catch the bugs."
Zhou Gu: "..."
He regretted coming so early. He should have waited another half hour when she had almost caught all the bugs before coming back.
He sighed resignedly and nodded, "Okay!"
He followed Su Rong's example and clumsily approached the insect. He closed his eyes, grabbed it, and quickly put it into the jar. Suddenly he realized that it didn't seem that difficult, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
As a grown man, 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 should be thrown into which jar. Zhou Gu nodded and followed the instructions, and Su Rong freed up his hands and began to pick out the herbs.
After Zhou Gu worked hard for a long time and caught all the bugs, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to wash his hands.
Su Rong took the time to take a look at him and saw him rubbing his hands with soap locust for half a cup of tea. She felt funny and deliberately asked him, "Are you used to it?"
Zhou Gu coughed lightly, "It's almost done!"
He didn't want to deal with bugs anymore anyway.
Su Rong nodded, and while choosing herbs for comparison, she asked him: "I heard that you went to the palace to see His Majesty today?"
Zhou Gu said "hmm".
"When will we set off?"
"Originally it was scheduled for tomorrow, but if you give me medicine, I can delay it for 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 then pointed to a medicine book on the table, "Bring me the medicine stove, and then bring the book, and follow the prescriptions in the book.
Help me choose the herbs and portion them."
Zhou Gu nodded, brought the medicine stove and handed it to Su Rong, and then 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 is it so...
"
"So precious?" Su Rong took over.
Zhou Gu looked at the recipe for making the Creamy Jade Satin Ointment on the first page and choked out two words, "Scarce."
Su Rong was noncommittal. Isn't it scarce? A bottle of Jade Satin Ointment costs a thousand gold. Now she can make it by herself. As long as she has enough medicinal materials, she can make hundreds or even thousands of bottles. But the reason why this thing is so expensive still makes sense.
, Medicinal materials are really difficult to obtain. Now, if Fengling is amassing these medicinal materials, she can make two bottles of various poisons, detoxification medicines, healing medicines, etc., and then make the Creamy Jade Satin Ointment, it will be enough.
Three to five bottles.
Zhou Gu approached Su Rong, "You haven't said where this book came from?"
Su Rong didn't hide it from him, "Fengling and I borrowed it from the library of the Great Buddha Temple on the day we stayed at the Great Buddha Temple."
Zhou Gu suddenly looked at her, "It's not borrowing, it's stealing, right?"
Su Rong glared at him, "Fengling donated five thousand taels of sesame oil money. It was just a loan. I just borrowed it with my eyes. I didn't take out the original."
Zhou Gu coughed and sighed, "Your eyes are really useful. It would be great if I had eyes like yours. I have been thinking about the rare books in the palace library, but I don't have the ability to lend them to you."
Su Rong paused, thinking that she had heard him mention it before when she was in Jiangning County, and she seemed to have promised him at that time, so she said to him: "How about we go to the palace for a walk?"
Zhou Gu blinked his eyes, "Is that okay?"
"Okay, His Majesty is sick. I have to go to the palace to see His Majesty anyway." Su Rong pondered, "I am his niece after all. If I don't even show my face, it can't be justified."
"What about me? I just entered the palace today." He was thinking about why he had to go with Su Rong.
"You are making medicine here." Su Rong said, "Fengling will come with me tomorrow. If we can cooperate well, you don't have to go."
Zhou Gu: "..."
He opened his mouth and said, "Shall I make medicine?"
"It's very simple, I'll teach you, and you'll definitely learn it in one night." Su Rong decided something quickly, "It's settled, come on, you have to work harder to take the medicine with you.
You have already been to the library. Please tell me carefully where the rare books are hidden and what I should pay attention to. I will ask your majesty tomorrow for an order to go in openly. Then I will try to find a way to help you borrow it with your eyes.
Come out and stop making trouble."
Although Zhou Gu wanted to go, he couldn't think of a reason for him to go with Su Rong, so he could only nod, "Okay!"
So, he carefully told Su Rong the location of the rare books in the library and what needed to be paid attention to.
After Su Rong heard this, she felt that it shouldn't be difficult. Even if there was a mechanism, it should be similar to the mechanism in the Great Buddha Temple. So she began to teach Zhou Gu how to make medicine.
Zhou Gu is a very smart person. Although he does not have Su Rong's photographic memory, he is also one of the few smart people who can understand many things after reading them once. At the same time, he also cherishes the opportunity to do things with Su Rong.
Study very seriously.
Su Rong said: "This book is given to 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 and asked, "Would you like to give this book to 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 nice to give it to me with your handwriting?"
Su Rong didn't look at him, "If you don't think it's good, then don't do it?"
Zhou Gu immediately clenched the book tightly, "I still want it."
Su Rong rolled her eyes at him, "What are you talking about?"
Zhou Gu remained silent.
The smell of medicine in the room was very mixed, and it lasted all night. Su Rong and Zhou Gu were making medicine. At dawn, they made more than a dozen bottles and jars. Su Rong looked at the results with satisfaction and said, "
