Chapter 93 Jinling Woman

Zhao, a resident of Yishui County, went to the city to do business. When he came back, he saw a woman in white crying by the roadside. She cried sadly and beautiful. He felt pity in his heart and looked at the woman who refused to leave.

The woman cried and said, "A big man has a way to go. He is always staring at me. What on earth does he want to do?" Zhao said, "I have no one in the wilderness. The girl cried and felt sad." The woman said, "My husband died of illness, so he was sad." Zhao said, "If your husband is dead, it's better to choose another good match." The woman said, "I'm alone. Who wants to take me in? If someone wants me, I will be willing to be a concubine.

Zhao smiled and recommended herself. The woman pondered for a while and nodded obediently. Zhao was overjoyed and said, "It's a long way to go to my house. Let me find a sedan chair for you." The woman said, "Don't bother." Take the lead, and the pace is unparalleled. After returning home, the woman was diligent in her internal affairs, gentle and virtuous. In a blink of an eye, spring passed and autumn came, and time flew by.

On this day, the woman said to Zhao, "I'm in love with you, so I'm committed to getting married. It's been three years in a trance, and now I'm leaving." Zhao said, "Didn't you say that there was no one at home? Where are you going now? The woman said, "Those words used to lie to you. How can I not have a home? My father sells medicine in Jinling. If the prince wants to meet again, he can carry the medicine. I won't let you go for nothing. Zhao said, "Well, you're leaving. I'll prepare a carriage for you." The woman said, "No." Go out and catch up with him, and he will disappear in an instant.

Zhao lived alone and missed the beauty, so he went to Jinling with herbs in a carriage. When he arrived at his destination, he boarded in a hotel, went to the street to inquire about the woman's residence, and gradually came to a pharmacy. An old man came out of it and said, "My son-in-law is here." While talking, he invited Zhao into the house.

When I came to the compound, I saw the woman under the raccoon tree.

When the two met, the woman's attitude was cold. She didn't say anything or smile, just buried herself in washing clothes. Zhao was unhappy and wanted to leave. The old man pulled him, but the woman still ignored him.

The old man ordered his daughter to cook and treat her husband, and said, "Eat first. After dinner, the old man has another plate of gifts." The woman said, "Give less gold and silver. He is blessed, and he can't afford to have too much money. Give him more than a dozen prescriptions, which is enough for him to eat and wear all his life. The old man asked, "What about the car of herbs brought by the prince?" The woman said, "I sold it all. I earned more than a dozen taels of silver and gave it to him."

The old man nodded, wrote down a bunch of prescriptions for Zhao, and sent him back home.

After going back, Zhao tested the prescription, and the treatment had special effects, which was extraordinary. These prescriptions have been passed down to this day. One of the prescriptions is to use garlic puree mixed with rainwater to treat fat, which is said to be very effective.
