Chu Jing'an didn't dare to hide the truth, so he explained while wiping his cold sweat.
"Sir? On the way, the inn's warehouse was full, and there was only room for other carriages. This one parked outside all night, and there was snow on the roof. As soon as the sun came out, the snow melted. When I found out, there was snow on the roof.
Water seeped in, so..."
"It also looks like it got damp. You have to be careful next time. It doesn't hurt to bake it. Mr. Zhou, please have someone carry it in."
Chu Qiao ordered, and Zhou Jiren lost his intention to watch the fun. He frowned and waved to the people behind him, asking them to carry the spices in quickly.
Just when Zhou Jiren was directing the people to carry the spices, Chu Jing'an walked to Chu Qiao's side. He stared at the tipster who was almost exactly the same as his daughter, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Sir, do you still remember Qingzhou?"
Why couldn't Chu Qiao hear what Chu Jing'an said? He was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't dare to admit it. Such a sentence was just to test Chu Qiao.
"Qingzhou is not a good place. Even if I remember it, I don't want to mention it."
Chu Qiao replied indifferently, her eyes swept across Chu Jing'an's face coldly. Even if he recognized her, would he have the courage to expose her? He didn't dare, because he was Chu Jing'an, the one who was most afraid of exposure.
A businessman who gets into trouble.
Chu Jing'an's next words couldn't be asked any more. Such a one-sentence answer had already explained everything. She was his daughter Chu Qiao.
Slowly retreating, Chu Jing'an's face was as white as a piece of paper.
"Don't worry, businessman Chu, do your business well and nothing will happen."
Chu Qiao dropped these words, turned around, and walked towards the side door of the palace. Zhou Jiren had already asked people to move away the spices, and then he approached Chu Qiao with a smile.
"This Chu Jing'an is really ignorant. If he dares to make any mistakes next time, he will simply report it to the emperor, return his goods, question his crime, and dare to bribe court officials?"
"How do you know he paid bribes? What he showed me was indeed just an official document."
Chu Qiao said coldly, this guy got a benefit and wanted to beat him up. Maybe he didn't know who was standing in front of him, right? If he knew that Li Chunxiang was the fourth Miss Chu, he would probably not dare to say these words.
.
"Yes, yes..."
Zhou Jiren looked down on this little girl at first, but now he doesn't dare to look down on her anymore. Her words are almost flawless, but he almost fell into her trap a few times.
Outside the side door, Chu Jingan took back the banknote sent by the young eunuch, still feeling very uneasy.
"Mr. Chu, why is this Li..."
Before the Chu family guard could say anything, Chu Jingan immediately covered his mouth.
"Okay, you all pretend you didn't see anything. If anyone dares to tell anyone, the Chu family's business will be over. You all just wait for the northwest wind."
Chu Jing'an's warning made all the guards shut their mouths, and everyone drove the carriage to leave the imperial city. Chu Jing'an lowered his head and said nothing along the way. He really couldn't figure out how Chu Qiao came to the capital, and what happened?
Why did he enter the imperial palace, enter the Royal Incense Room of the Taiyuan Hospital, and be promoted to the title of Master?
"What on earth is going on?" Chu Jing'an asked himself in a muffled voice.
No matter what the reason was, he was frightened and frightened. He didn't dare to stay in the capital for one night and hurried back to Qingzhou.
Chu Qiao returned to the Imperial Fragrance Room and asked people to separate the spices according to needs. Some were sent to the inner imperial dining room and handed over to An Ge. Some were divided according to the needs of the harem and the month, and some were medicinal and needed secondary processing.
, they are all saved first.
Zhou Jiren craned his neck to watch, not daring to express his anger. Although he was the supervisor here before, he was really not as proficient in spices as Li Chunxiang. Now when he looked at this woman casually, he
If you can identify it, you will feel sincere and fearful, otherwise you will be disobedient again.
"Master Li, if you have any questions, please come and ask me. I will definitely support your work."
Seeing Zhou Jiren's flattering face, Chu Qiao understood that the first hurdle was over. As for the work of Yuxiangfang, it was not really responsible. He rarely needed to make his own ideas. Most of the time, he would just follow the monthly requirements.
Just divide the spices, but... there are some things that she still needs to ask Mr. Zhou.
"Do the imperial doctors often mention some spices for medicinal purposes here?" Chu Qiao asked.
"It's natural. It's all based on the prescriptions of the imperial doctors. No more or less will do." Zhou Jiren answered carefully.
"Speaking of prescriptions, I'm quite curious. Where are the prescriptions stored?"
Chu Qiao is most concerned about the prescription. Once she gets the prescription written by her uncle to the emperor, she can clearly know whether it is the problem with the prescription or someone who made some manipulation while preparing the medicine. No matter what the conclusion is, the most important thing is
Where is that prescription now? How can I get it?
"this……"
Zhou Jiren didn't expect that Chu Qiao would ask about this. In fact, it was no secret where these prescriptions were placed. The Taiyuan Hospital was completely following the rules.
"Prescriptions are divided into two categories. One is the prescriptions used by the emperor and ladies, and the other is the prescriptions used by other people, including the ministers of the court. This second type of prescriptions are all stored in the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau and are not usually used.
Locked up. As for the emperor and his ladies, because it involves some privacy in the inner palace, it is locked in the east pavilion of the imperial hospital. It can only be viewed with the personal approval of the Shang Medical Superintendent. Mr. Li asked this? You want to..."
"It's nothing, I'm just asking casually." Chu Qiao smiled slightly, then lowered her head to examine the spices carefully, but in her heart, she unconsciously thought of Empress Hui Fei's incense oil, and she turned her eyes to look at it.
Zhou Jiren, continue to ask.
"The incense oil used by these ladies is also sent from the Royal Incense Room?"
"Most of them are, but a few are from outside the palace. After all, the empress always likes to bring back some gadgets when she goes out of the palace to visit relatives. We can't control these."
Zhou Jiren laughed and said that as long as the spices coming out of here are recorded, if she was still unclear about anything, he could bring the booklet to her for review.
"That's no need."
Chu Qiao nodded. It seemed that Concubine Hui really wanted to harm people. The incense oil was brought in from outside. This woman had really sinister intentions. Now that she has come to the Royal Fragrance Room, Concubine Hui must not be so worried.
Be comfortable.
"Do you need me to ask you about the prescription just now? Are you looking up some old prescriptions?" Zhou Jiren suddenly asked.
"No, I'm just curious."
Chu Qiao became alert. It seemed that there were some things that she couldn't just ask casually. Wouldn't this person named Zhou suspect something?
