Chapter 6: Heading South
Yao Yanyu looked at this formation, and knew that Wei Zhang was really angry this time. So he hurriedly turned to him, looked at him with great sincerity, and said, "Don't be angry." Or listen to you, I'll go and tell the emperor that I'm pregnant, and I want to raise a baby at home. β
Wei Zhang raised his eyes to look at her when he heard this, but saw that her black and white eyes blinked softly, her eyes were clear, twelve points serious, and she couldn't see a trace of joke at all.
So Wei Houye's heart hesitated again - is it really good to trap her at home like this? With her temperament, she can't do what she wants to do, it's okay for a day or two, will she be trapped and sick after a long time?
Yao Yanyu looked at the wavering in Wei Zhang's eyes, turned her eyes away at the right time, leaned into his arms and said, "I'm thirsty." β
"Oh, good." Wei Zhang turned his hand and took the tea on the small kang table and handed it to her lips.
"I don't want to drink this." Yao Yanyu raised her hand and pushed it away, "I can't drink tea when I'm pregnant." β
"And what do you drink? I'm going to get you warm water? Wei Zhang helped her up from his arms and asked in a low voice.
Yao Yanyu shook her head: "I hate drinking boiled water the most." I'm going to drink juice, and you tell them to peel a few oranges to juice them. β
"Okay." Wei Hou Ye turned his head and called the maid to come in, and told them to go and get orange juice.
Juice is not a novelty in the house, Yao Yanyu had long ordered someone to get it for Ling Xiao in the kitchen, and now Yiyi drinks it every day. Now that Madame is pregnant and wants to drink this, she hurriedly got oranges in the kitchen to juice them.
Wei Zhang thought about it, and felt that the juice was very good, so he turned around and instructed the spear to keep a few baskets of oranges, oranges, pears, apples and other things in the kitchen every day, and prepare them in advance to make juice, and the lady had to have what she wanted to drink.
Yao Yanyu was naturally extremely frustrated in her heart, but she couldn't say anything.
I knew that Lu Dao would be pregnant so soon, and she would have taken contraceptive measures on the whole day! It's all because the first child came so late that she thought she was not easy to conceive, so she was reckless during this time and didn't think much about it.
Now it's good! It's like a horse with a hitch, I'm afraid that no one outside the family will support me to go to Jiangning, so don't screw it at all. Wait for the opportunity to move.
Yao Yanyu didn't insist on going south, Wei Zhang's heart was full of guilt, and he was not busy going out of the house for the past two days, and he accompanied her at home every day, or teased her daughter, or taught Ling Xiao to practice boxing in person.
Of course, Ling Xiao didn't like boxing at the beginning, let him get up in the morning and take a horse walk, and the little guy's nose and eyes could be wrinkled together.
However, Wei Zhang had his own way, and only asked Ling Xiao one sentence: Do you want to protect your sister when you grow up? What if someone bullies your sister and you're not strong enough to beat someone?
Just such a sentence, let the little guy be like a chicken blood, and get up every morning to follow Wei Houye to practice boxing.
Wei Zhang decided that Yao Yanyu was impatient at first, but unexpectedly, five or six days passed, and she really didn't mention the matter of leaving again, but the Chinese Medical Center had already selected the personnel to go with her, and the silver approved by the household department and the personnel regulations of the Food and Drug Administration also came down.
This time, it was Wei Zhang's turn not to be calm.
This night, the couple had a simple dinner, Yao Yanyu sent the nurse to take her daughter away and went to the low table under the window to continue sorting out the content of the pharmacopoeia. Wei Zhang was stunned for a while and finally leaned over, reached out and took the manuscript in her hand away, and asked, "Can't you rest for a while?" β
"You don't want to rest?" Yao Yanyu raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, "This "Dayun Pharmacopoeia" is the master's lifelong wish, and on the day of the execution of the death row prisoner a few days ago, the emperor still asked. Hua Xixuan also proposed to use the prisoners on death row to test the medicine, compile a "Materia Medica Blacklist", and make detailed annotations on those acute poison herbs, slow poison herbs, and non-incoming herbs and weak herbs. This undoubtedly increases the workload of the "Dayun Pharmacopoeia". If I don't hurry, I'm afraid I won't be able to do this in my lifetime. β
"Isn't it? So troublesome? When Wei Zhang heard this, he immediately felt that the whole person was not good. What is life's time? Does it take a lifetime of hard work for a person to compile a pharmacopoeia?
"After the compilation of this "Pharmacopoeia" is completed, it will become the most complete and detailed pharmacopoeia of the Great Cloud Dynasty. I don't dare to say that her status in the medical field is comparable to your "Liutao" in the Art of War, but at least it can pave a straight path for future medical practitioners, and there is no need to test the lives of the people in the world. Yao Yanyu looked at Wei Zhang levelly, and the tone of his speech was plain, but it set off a huge wave in Wei Zhang's heart.
This is the real move to help the world, what is it to try medicine to treat one or two patients? What is it to stay awake day and night to sweep away a plague? If this pharmacopoeia is compiled, she can achieve thousands of doctors, influence the future generations of medicine, and benefit thousands of generations!
"That medical school thing......" Wei Zhang looked at Yao Yanyu hesitantly, but he didn't know what to say after Lu Dao.
"If it really doesn't work, just call Cuiwei and Cuiping. I stayed with Hua Xixuan to finish the Pharmacopoeia affair. Anyway, there are so many things in total, if you don't do this, you have to do something else, you can't just take the court's money and don't do things in vain, right? Yao Yanyu said, leaning sideways on the pillow behind her, and raised her hand to take the glass containing the juice next to her.
"......" went to Jiangning, he was worried that her body would not be able to bear it! It's reassuring to stay in the capital, but you have to get along with that idiot day and night! Why is it so annoying!
Marquis Wei is irritable!
Just when Marquis Wei was irritable, the emperor summoned him into the palace with a holy edict.
After that, Marquis Wei came back from the palace in the middle of the night and was calm.
It was already ten minutes in the middle of the night, and the master didn't go home, and the spear manager didn't dare to go back to sleep, so he waited in the front hall and hugged the wing. As soon as Wei Zhang entered the door, the spear got the news, and then put the tea cup and greeted him with a smoke.
"Master Hou, there is a supper in the kitchen, can you use some and go back?" By this time, Madame had already fallen asleep. The chief steward reached out and took the saber from Wei Zhang's hand, and turned around and placed it on the mahogany shelf.
"No need." Wei Zhang turned around and sat on the chair behind the bookcase, raised his hand and flipped through a few books on the table, and then casually stacked them back, turned his head and asked the spear: "How are the preparations for Madame's trip to Jiangning?" β
"Uh...... Cleaning up. The spear couldn't figure out what the general meant, so he had to answer vaguely. In fact, as soon as he heard the news of his wife's pregnancy, the matter of preparing to go to Jiangning was put on hold, and all the people in the family, including Mama Feng, felt that it was not suitable for Mrs. to travel far away, and the Hou Ye would definitely ask the emperor to postpone the schedule of going south.
"Prepare now, Madame will leave in three days." Wei Zhang said as he spoke, his fingers lightly clasped on the bookcase, and he was thinking of the emperor's words - there are pirates on the southeast coast who have repeatedly harassed the people, and their sea ships are equipped with special cannons made by Xifan, which are powerful and ferocious, and the coastal people have suffered from them.
"Huh?" The spear was a little confused about his master's thoughts, and he didn't know what his idea was.
Wei Zhang was not very satisfied with the performance of the spear, his face turned cold, and he commanded in a deep voice: "Madame is pregnant, and she must have everything to eat and drink. Hurry up and prepare, and tell them what they need to buy directly. β
"Yes, the minion understands." The spear immediately answered and withdrew, and it was gone! Don't sleep tonight! If you leave in three days, you will have to be fully prepared, and you may not be able to be fully prepared if you don't sleep from now on!
The boss has a heart-to-heart - no matter, if I can't sleep, everyone should not sleep!
Wei Zhang sat in the study for a while, straightened out the things in his heart before returning to Yan'an Hall. At this time, Yao Yanyu was already in a deep dream, he entered the door lightly, stayed in the house for a while, waited for the cold air on his body to dissipate, then took off his coat and quietly climbed into bed.
As if sensing the breath on his body, Yao Yanyu turned sideways in her sleep, automatically found a warm embrace, rolled up and nested in, and continued to dream.
Wei Zhang smiled dotingly, lowered his head and kissed her black hair, and took the person into his arms and gradually fell asleep.
In the course of three days, the spear chief fully demonstrated his talent and took care of all the luggage of the ship headed south by Ning Hou and his wife. I almost made a copy of Yan'an Tang and put it on the ship.
Yao Yanyu was very surprised that Wei Zhang was ordered to go south to supervise the training of the Southeast Water Division, but if you think about it carefully, maybe this is also a way for the emperor to employ people.
Emperor Jinglong completely inherited the methods of the previous emperor in employing people, but he was more gentle, making people completely unable to refuse, as if he did not obey the will and did his best to do things for the emperor, he would be sorry for the court, sorry for the people, and sorry for the parents of heaven and earth.
Because they were in a hurry, the banquet to see them off was also very tense, Han Mingcan and Su Yuxuan discussed, and simply gathered Yao Mansion, Dingbei Hou Mansion, Jinghai Hou Mansion and Zhenguo Mansion, Sujun Wang and others to Ninghou Mansion to make a scene, which was regarded as seeing off their couple.
On the third day of the first day of November, everything is appropriate.
Yao Yanyu and Wei Zhang took Ling Xiao, Yiyi, and the guards and maids who served closely, plus a team of one hundred and twenty Fierce Eagle Guards and forty-eight medical women from the National Medical Pavilion, thirty-two doctors, five officials, and two chief bookkeepers, a total of more than 300 people, plus the salute, and divided into three big official ships and headed south along the Yuntian River. And it is necessary to travel day and night, before the river freezes to Jiangning.
Yao Fengge, who was in Jiangning, had already received the news and arranged for someone to clean up Yao Yanyi's other courtyard, just waiting for Yao Yanyu and his wife to move in with Xiaolin's baggage.
Along the way, Wei Zhang was worried that Yao Yanyu would eat and vomit like the last pregnancy, but it turned out that pregnancy was really different from pregnancy. This baby Yao Yanyu is not hard at all, she eats and sleeps when she should eat on weekdays, and there is no morning sickness or anything like that.
Although the boat was a little stuffy, she was busy compiling the pharmacopoeia every day, and when she was tired, she called Yiyi and Ling Xiao to laugh with them for a while to relieve their fatigue, or she simply went back to the bedroom to sleep beautifully, and by the time Jiang Ning arrived, the whole person had gained weight.
Because she came this time to act on orders, and she was accompanied by Marquis Ning, as soon as the boat docked, local officials from Jiangning came to greet her.
Therefore, when she went ashore, she needed to change her official robe, and standing in front of the mirror, Yao Yanyu looked at her obviously round face and plump waist and exclaimed: "I'm only more than two months pregnant!" Why are these clothes already a little tight?! β
Xiangzhi and Wumei glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Madame thinks something is tight?" But the slave and maid looked just right. β
Yao Yanyu tugged at the robe from her waist and sighed: "I remember that I used to wear something fat, but now it's just right!" β
"Madame was too thin before." Ume said busily.
"I'm going to lose weight." Yao Yanyu turned around in the mirror, feeling more and more that she was really fatter.
"Say what?" Wei Zhang changed into a purple official robe and came in from outside, and just heard his wife say that he wanted to lose weight, so he walked in and reached out and pinched her arm, and said lightly: "It's indeed a little fatter, I think it's just right, no need to lose it." ββ
"You're fat!" Yao Yanyu glared at him, can you speak?!
Wei Houye immediately smiled and bent his eyebrows, reached out and took the fried lady into his arms and coaxed softly.
Xiang Zhi and Ume secretly laughed and retreated.
When the ship docked, Jiangning's officials gathered at the dock to greet Ning Hou and Mrs. Yao.
Wei Zhang and Yao Yanyu got off the boat side by side, and after a few words of greeting with everyone, Yao Yanyu refused the reception banquet of the Jiangning prefect on the pretext that he was not feeling well after sitting on the boat for a long time, and only took the people who served him close to him into a big carriage and left first. Leave Wei Zhang alone to deal with those officials.
Let's say that Yao Yanyu went directly to the other courtyard prepared by Yao Fengge by car, and the two sisters were naturally very happy to reunite after a long absence. Yao Fengge took Yao Yanyu's hand and looked it up and down, left and right, and said with a smile: "My sister is actually fatter, it seems that the little guy in the belly didn't toss you this time?" β
Yao Yanyu smiled: "No, this is much better now than it was when Yiyi was back." If it were the same as then, I wouldn't dare to have another life. β
"Children have different temperaments, and the symptoms of joy are also different. It's cold outside, let's go in and talk. Saying that, Yao Fengge took Yao Yanyu's hand and entered the door, and after they sat down, Su Jinyue took her younger brothers and sisters to come forward to greet her aunt, and Ling Xiao also gave Yao Fengge a gift.
Only Yiyi's little girl was still in the arms of the nurse, and seeing that there were several more brothers and sisters at once, she struggled to go down to play, but she couldn't walk yet, and the nurse didn't dare to let go.
Jinyue couldn't be intimate when she saw Yao Yanyu, so she leaned up directly and hugged Yao Yanyu's neck and didn't let go. It was Yao Fengge who scared her: "Auntie has a baby in her belly, you must be careful not to touch it." She reluctantly got out of Yao Yanyu's arms and went to the nurse to tease Yiyi.
"My sister is hungry, let's talk while eating." Yao Fengge said and handed over a pair of ebony and silver-inlaid chopsticks to Yao Yanyu.
In her letters, she already knew about Yao Yanyu's pregnancy, and prepared a variety of sour and spicy meals that pregnant women love to eat early: hot and sour beef, spicy shrimp, scrambled eggs with capers, squirrel fish, sour fried silver sprouts, balsamic vinegar peanuts, sweet and sour jellyfish, etc., in addition to a large cup of sauerkraut bone pot.
Yao Yanyu really liked it when she saw it, so she put the weight loss aside and opened it up to enjoy the food.
The result of eating is that he is overwhelmed, and he takes advantage of the moonlight to wrap a thick cloak and hold Yao Fengge's hand for a walk in the yard.
"Sister, how are you doing here?" Yao Yanyu gently sniffed the fragrance of the early plum and asked in a low voice.
"It's better than being in the capital." Yao Fengge smiled slightly.
"Is my brother-in-law still like that?" There were no idlers around, so Yao Yanyu stopped beating around the bush.
Yao Fengge's smile had a bitter taste, and he replied in a low voice: "That's how he has been in this life." I don't expect him to change anything, I just ask him to settle down and not go too far. β
"Have you ever thought about it...... Reconcile with him? Live a pure life by yourself? Yao Yanyu couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't think about it." Yao Fengge shook his head and said, "That's all I have for my life, but I still have to take care of Yue'er." If I reconcile with him, what will others think of me? What will you think of Yue'er? Yue'er is getting older day by day, and some things can't be hidden from her, what will she think? How will she feel about marriage in the future? β
Yao Yanyu couldn't help but sigh leisurely: "My sister really thought about it. β
Besides, he's just messing around with the people in the house. Now that we are in Jiangning, here are all the connections of our Yao family, and he can't afford to make any waves. I just spent some money to raise him, and I just raised the children with dignity. Yao Fengge smiled indifferently.
"But my sister is still so young, can she keep guarding it like this?" Yao Yanyu sighed deeply.
"As the old saying goes, men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. Sister, I'm already like this, what is there to say? What I want now is to earn a share of the family's business for the children, and in the future, I will find a loving and righteous person to marry, and live a harmonious and beautiful life. I'll be able to die blindly. β
Yao Yanyu smiled when she heard this: "Nothing else, if you say that you can earn a big business, maybe I can really do my sister a favor." β
Yao Fengge also laughed out loud, and said, "What you said, I can spread this big stall here now, isn't it because of your blessing?" β
"I'm not talking about the glass field." Yao Yanyu said with a smile.
"Oh? What is that? β
Yao Yanyu lowered her voice and said two words in Yao Fengge's ear: "Medicine." β
"Huh?" Yao Fengge suddenly straightened his waist, looked at Yao Yanyu's mysterious smile in the moonlight, and shook his head again: "You are here to take charge of the official affairs of the Food and Drug Administration, how do I do a pharmacy?" This will cause people to seize the trick and say that you are a hypocrisy. β
"No, as long as we sit upright, we won't be afraid of those people gossiping." Yao Yanyu smiled slightly, sank and said, "Once the Food and Drug Administration is established, those pharmaceutical companies will regard me as an enemy. They will definitely do everything they can to deal with me, forcing me to change my mind and fight the tiger. I don't want to be blackmailed by them, so I can't fight them with my bare hands. β
"Alas! Hearing you say so dangerous, I'm really ...... You said that you are pregnant, why don't you take leave from the emperor and delay this matter in the future? Maybe it would be better to shout these things out first, let those people talk about it for a while and slowly accept it, and then you can make a move? β
"My sister is right, but I raised the matter of establishing the Food and Drug Administration to the first emperor after the thirty-five years of the earthquake, and the first emperor also discussed the matter at the court meeting, and the final result is not over? From top to bottom, the Dayun Dynasty only attached importance to agriculture, regarded industry and commerce as lowly, and attached importance to medicine only to the lives and safety of the royal family and nobles, and did not care about the life, old age, sickness and death of the common people at all. β
After speaking, Yao Yanyu sneered, and sighed again: "Think about the Bo family back thenβif it wasn't for the fact that the chaihu they sent to the Tai Hospital was found out, I don't know how long Lu Dao would continue to plague the people!" β
Yao Fengge sighed: "That's what you said. β
The night grew thicker, and the wind became colder. Yao Yanyu couldn't help but pull her cloak, and Yao Fengge hurriedly said, "It's been long enough, it's cold, let's go back to the house." β
Yao Yanyu nodded, took Yao Fengge's hand and walked back.
Yao Fengge asked again: "Why hasn't Master Hou come back yet?" Didn't you get drunk by those people? β
"With the amount of alcohol he drinks, I'm afraid it's not that easy to get drunk. He's not just here to keep me company. Maybe he's busier than me, so let's leave him alone. Yao Yanyu said, and entered the house side by side with Yao Fengge.
There is no earth dragon in the house in the south of the Yangtze River, Yao Fengge is used to living in a house with a earth dragon in Yundu City, but when she comes to the south, she can't adapt to the cold here, so she asked someone to avoid the house and tear down the trap and repair the fire road wall. At this time, the fire wall was filled with charcoal fire, and the front walls were warm, and the house was naturally warm like spring.
This courtyard is built on the mountain, Yao Yanyi is also the master of the enjoyment, when the courtyard was repaired, a pulse of hot springs was brought in, and a warm jade bath was repaired in the bathroom behind the upper room of the main courtyard. The baths are kept alive and cleaned every day, so you can bathe at any time.
Yao Yanyu and Yao Fengge entered hand in hand, and each free maid served the heavy winter reward and slowly soaked in the hot spring.
When Wei Zhang came back that night, it was already the fourth watch.
Because Yao Fengge stayed to accompany Yao Yanyu and did not go back, he could only live in the front yard for the first time.
Thinking about it, this is the first time, Wei Hou Ye is a little unhappy, but this is not the fault of the eldest sister-in-law, he didn't come back all night, he can't blame others for being a sister and accompanying his sister to talk to relieve boredom, right?
On the second day, after a good night's sleep, Yao Yuan sentenced to change into the official uniform of a first-class medical officer and went to the prefect's yamen on a business trip, and the prefect of Jiangning admired this goddess doctor very much (not admiring it, there is the emperor's support, there is a husband on the side, and there is a father who is the first assistant, and the name of the divine doctor of the world, he does not dare to do it against this one. οΌ
The prefect had already chosen the courtyard close to the prefect's yamen as the yamen of the future Food and Drug Administration, and organized the back piece of land to build the Jiangning branch of the Chinese Medical Museum.
The money allocated by the Ministry of Household from the state treasury has been paid, and the construction of the yamen and medical school has already begun.
It's just that Yao Yanyu came to Jiangning this time and brought more than 200 people, and the courtyard of these three entrances is not enough at all.
After the last prefect, the prefect made a decision, and set aside a house behind the government office, temporarily for the Chinese medical hall, and when the new house over there was repaired, these medical women, doctors and others moved out again.
------Off topic------
Dear Drics! The penultimate day of the month!
Attention to those who are still reluctant to vote for monthly passes!
If you don't vote again, it's really invalid!
Hurry up and smash me! If there are many monthly passes, I will consider the second watch!
