With these two things, the salute to the governor's mansion will be completed.

After turning around, Qiu Chen didn't find a suitable gift, but bought two beautiful wood carving boxes. After coming back, looking through her luggage, Qiu Chen took out two bottles of unopened rose dew and a pocket-sized monocular, which she packed and packed into a wood carving box.

Qiu Chen opened two rooms in the inn and stayed here, and after a short rest, he went to the street again. Since she went to the Governor's Mansion in her personal capacity, she had to take a gift anyway. Moreover, the threshold of the Governor's Mansion is high, and the courtesy should not be too light.

Shen Hu agreed without hesitation, hurriedly ate a full meal, bid farewell to Qiu Chen and Qin Li, and rode out of the city on horseback to Zhuangzi.

"It is worthy of being a character who assists the monarch, and a small guy around him can have such self-control." Qiu Chen shook his head, and smiled at Shen Hu in a blink of an eye, "Don't want it, it doesn't matter...... Just now, since Wu Qiong and Wu Governor's Mansion sent a letter to Ming'er to take me to the Governor's Mansion early in the morning to pay a visit, then I can't go back to Zhuangzi tonight...... In this way, Qin Li stayed, and Shen Hu went back to Zhuangzi to talk to the big guys, don't worry about it. In addition, let Chengying distribute the medicine, and you will bring someone to distribute it tomorrow morning. Those patients should not stop the medicine since they have started treatment, otherwise the disease will reverse, and it may cause danger. ”

A different color crossed Shen Hu's eyes, then nodded, and turned back to the inn. As soon as he told Qiu Chen about the situation, Qiu Chen also showed a hint of appreciation.

As he spoke, he turned his head and got on his horse without looking back.

After being surprised, the little guy pushed the dazzling gold coin back, and said with a smile while trying to restrain his expression: "This big brother is polite, brother, I am just ordered to run errands, everything is our adult's orders." The eldest brother stayed, and the brother resigned! ”

The little guy who followed Wu Qiong can be regarded as having seen the world, not to mention anything else, Huo Dudu's rewards are very generous, and there are often one or two silver rewards. But when he saw Qiu Chen and his party today, the little guy was still shocked, it was the first time he had encountered a reward with gold, and he made a move with two taels of gold! Two taels of gold is equivalent to twenty taels of silver! His monthly silver for a month was only five hundred yuan, twenty taels of silver, which was enough to match his monthly silver for forty months and three years.

Qiu Chen responded with a smile, Shen Hu got up and sent the little guy out, walked outside the door and handed over a gold coin of two taels, and said with a smile: "Little brother has worked hard, he must have never used the meal, and this little dish fee is used to drink a dime to relieve fatigue!" ”

Wu Qiong's news came not slowly, before Qiu Chen and the three of them finished lunch, Wu Qiong sent the little guy next to him to send a message: Wu Qiong had already leaked the news to Huo Dudu, as Wu Qiong said before, Huo Dudu was very peaceful, and immediately agreed to let Wu Qiong take Qiu Chen to see him!

She had just left the address of the inn when she resigned from Wu Qiong's mansion, and at this time, after shopping, and got her own things, Qiu Chen and his party went to the inn, it was already noon, they were going to have lunch, and at the same time, they were waiting for the news from Wu Qiong over there.

After taking the customized things, Qiu Chen handed over the drawings of the required equipment to the coppersmith, and communicated with the coppersmith master about some details and key structures, and then left the coppersmith shop satisfied.

All the way to the coppersmith's shop, the smile on her face never broke.

Qiu Chen walked while watching and feeling this city with distinctive characteristics, his expression was relaxed, and his mood was quite happy.

This can be seen from the fact that there are many pedestrians on the streets, riding clothes that are convenient for riding and shooting; It can also be seen from the leather shops on the street; It can be seen from the strong smell of mutton wafting from the restaurant; It can be seen from the style of the house, the pattern of the decoration of doors and windows, etc.; There are also people in national costumes walking around the streets......

Because of its proximity to northern Xinjiang, Liaodi to the north is the territory of various northern nomads. From ancient times to the present, the Xiongnu, Khitan, Liaojin, Yuanmeng, Beirong and other major ethnic groups have established a country for hundreds of years, and there are more ethnic groups such as the Yan and the Jie people, as well as the Goryeo and Silla people who have been guarding the Korean Peninsula. The close neighbors of this kind of ethnic group have more or less influence, so that this big city in northern Xinjiang inevitably has rich national colors and characteristics.

At this time, walking on the streets of the ancient Fengtian City, Qiu Chen felt obvious characteristics and differences.

The modern Fengtian Qiu Chen has been to it twice, and he doesn't have much special perception except for the Northeast dialect that fills his ears. This is also normal in the modern mode of urban replication that is in full swing.

With two guards, Qiu Chen was not in a hurry, and slowly led the horse and walked on the streets of Fengtian City.

Even if Wu Qiong introduced her, she had to talk to the Huo family before she could bring Qiu Chen to the door, so Qiu Chen temporarily quit and went to the coppersmith shop to see the customized enema utensils, and in addition, she also wanted to customize a few test utensils. She had a lot of tools in the capital, but because she was in a hurry, those things were not easy to carry, so she couldn't bring them over. Once here, you have to customize some of the necessary tools to work.

can be valued by the Marquis of Jingbei to marry as a wife and pet the special room, can be equally valued by that master, even more than any mother, this woman is really not equally idle!

Wu Qiong didn't expect Qiu Chen to be able to accept it so readily, and after being a little surprised again, his appreciation for Qiu Chen deepened.

Qiu Chen also figured out the situation in Liaodi, and also tried to empathize. If she is in the position of the Huo family, she will find a suitable opportunity to defile herself, and then ask for the seal and hand over the military power in her hand. It's just that she also sighed that power is more powerful than drugs, and once you taste it, it's not easy to quit. Maybe the Huo family is also obsessed in the game, and it is possible that they are reluctant to let go.

As the only two different Huo family and Hu family in the Ming Kingdom, the hereditary governor has been more than a hundred years, with the pacification of Beirong and the expansion of the border pass to the north, the location of the Liao land has been decided, and it is no longer the place of the previous four wars. At this moment, the Huo family is already on fire, if they are still confused, it is undoubtedly adding firewood to their bodies!

As long as he is not stupid, Huo Dudu will not think of taking credit for himself.

As long as she met Huo Dudu, Qiu Chen dared to explain these words to Huo Dudu directly, and she also believed that Huo Dudu, regardless of his mild temperament or irritable temperament, would not have any objections in this matter.

Not to mention that she has no famous identity now, even Huo Dudu, she doesn't dare to bear the reputation of large-scale relief to disaster victims and practicing medicine and medicine, and no one can hold it on the charge of 'buying the hearts of the people'. There is only one thing that can be done for such a thing, and that is the imperial court, and that is the emperor!

She can see Huo Dudu in her own name, but what follows is her freedom.

Qiu Chen smiled slightly and bowed his hand: "Then thank you Lord Wu." ”

Wu Qiong could only introduce Huo Dudu to his personal identity. She took out food for relief next, or practiced medicine and medicine, and what she said to Huo Dudu could only be a personal act. Only in this way did Wu Qiong say that he would introduce her, and if it was an official identity, Wu Qiong would not say that he had introduced her. In that way, it is a mistake to act on behalf of the superintendent, and to hook up with higher-level leaders without concealing the direct management of the boss, but it is taboo! A person like Wu Qiong would never make such a low-level mistake.

With this sentence, Wu Qiong positioned the nature of the matter.

Introduce her to her!

Wu Qiong admired in his heart, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he smiled gently: "Lord Qiu is compassionate...... Although Huo Dudu is in a high position and has made outstanding achievements, he is not rigid, his temperament is actually very peaceful, and he is also quite concerned about the people...... In this way, if it is possible, the lower officials are willing to introduce Lord Qiu to him! ”

In a word, what is reflected is very much and deeper!

To do this, you must first have eyesight, be able to position him accurately and thoroughly, have the courage and decisiveness, and be free and easy enough to see before you can ask such a sentence.

Yes, after recognizing Qiu Chen, Wu Qiong didn't call it out, but he didn't care much about it, just to do business. However, Qiu Chen mentioned the Governor's Mansion, and also considered his difficulties in it, the relationship between the before and after can be seen deep and thorough enough, and the consideration is not incomplete. It is not easy for a woman to be able to see through and figure it out, but it is not too special, but it is not easy to be able to directly raise the problem and push it in front of him.

However, Qiu Chen's marriage to Qin Zheng, Marquis of Jingbei, made his impression of Qiu Chen change a little. This woman can be called a strange woman, but she can't escape the suspicion of clinging to glory and wealth. In addition, after Qiu Chen entered Beijing, he didn't seem to do anything, that is, he planted several successful Jiahe, and more of them were regarded by Wu Qiong and many people as the work of Jingbei Hou and Yong Wangye.

Such a person seems to be unremarkable, but the city is very deep, and he sees people very thoroughly, as soon as he saw Qiu Chen, he saw through Qiu Chen's female disguise as a man, combined with his own understanding, and quickly deduced Qiu Chen's identity. It's just that Wu Qiong had no contact with Qiu Chen before, and all his understanding was sideways, only that Qiu Chen was familiar with the art of Qihuang and was good at business, and the most brilliant thing was to break into the epidemic area in Anyang, treat the epidemic people, and successfully curb the development and spread of the plague, and finally successfully eliminated the epidemic virus. These are all commendable, including Wu Qiong, who can't help but admire.

As Qiu Chen thought, he was Yang Jingyong's confidant, not to mention his age, only in his early thirties, but he followed Yang Jingyong for at least fifteen years, and he had been accompanying Yang Jingyong to spend time at the border pass, until Yang Jingyong returned to Beijing, he was able to pass the imperial examination on the right path. However, because of Yang Jingyong's operation, Emperor Invesco also thanked him for more than ten years to follow Yang Jingyong's side to assist and accompany, although Wu Qiong is not the top three, but the progress is very fast, after a term of governor, with outstanding performance in the evaluation of the outstanding political performance to promote the five products of the same knowledge, after that, the Tang family boss was transferred and promoted, he was promoted to the fourth prefect, to the vital Liaodi to serve.

A slight flash of surprise flashed in Wu Qiong's eyes, followed by a much deeper admiration.

Before Wu Qiong went to Fengtian Prefect, Tang Yanjue, the boss of the Tang family, served as Fengtian Prefect here, and he was also Yang Jingyong's person. Since Emperor Invesco and Yang Jingyong can be relieved to be sent to Fengtian City to take over Tang Yanjue, this Wu prefect must be capable, and loyalty must be Yang Jingyong's confidence. In addition, he has been in office for nearly two years, and he has a deep understanding of Huo Dudu and the shape of Liaodi, so Qiu Chen has some uncertain things, so he simply pushes him to get ideas.

Qiu Chen sat on the guest seat and said in a slight mutter: "This matter, since it is in Liaodi, and it is not far from Fengtian City, once there is a move, it will definitely not be able to hide from Huo Dudu's ears and eyes. However, after all, Zai Xia was new to this place, and he didn't know anything about Huo Dudu...... If it causes a misunderstanding, you may not need to care about it, for fear of embarrassing the Wu Governor's Mansion! ”

It was very smooth to go to see Wu Qiong, the prefect of Fengtian, and as soon as he saw Yang Jingyong's handwriting, Wu Qiong agreed without hesitation, and he would definitely do his best to support Qiu Chen's action.

She entered Fengtian City to see the Fengtian Governor's Mansion, and at the same time, she was secretly considering, if she could, it would be better to inform the Governor of Liaodi, she didn't expect the Governor of Liaodi to support her, she only hoped that her actions in Liaodi would not cause misunderstanding among the Huo family.

This time, she carried the new emperor's edict with her, and she also knew that the Fengtian prefect of Liaodi was actually the confidant of the new emperor Yang Jingyong, and it was not surprising that the Fengtian prefect would also give her support and assistance within its ability. Of course, Qiu Chen is not without worries, after all, the situation in Liaodi is special, this is the territory of the governor of Liaodi, because it belonged to the border pass before, and the governor of Liaodi has always been a hereditary inheritance, and it is not bad to say that the Huo family is the king of Liaodi. Here, the influence of the emperor and the imperial court was far less important than that of the Huo family.

She knew about this in modern times, and when she came to this world, the last plague in Anyang Mansion gave her a personal experience. She and Master Guo both entered the epidemic area, she succeeded, but Master Guo almost left his life in the epidemic area, the main reason for this contrasting result is that Qiu Chen's prescription is effective and the measures are effective, but it is also inseparable from the approval and strong support of the Yun Governor before she entered the epidemic area. Of course, among them, her friendship with Yun Jichen, the second son of Yun, and Liao Wenqing is also related. Also, Qin Zheng and Yang Jingyong, who rushed over later, also played a certain role. All kinds of favorable auxiliary support allowed her to contain the spread of the epidemic so quickly and smoothly, and successfully eliminated the epidemic.

The prevention and control of the plague and the treatment and reconstruction after the disaster are not something that can be operated by individual forces, no matter from what point of view, it must go through the hands of the local yamen, and it is best to have the assistance of the yamen, which is more conducive to the carrying out and development of various errands.

Although her whereabouts were secret, she had sealed the secret decree of the new emperor.

Early the next morning, Qiu Chen got up and changed into a set of black cocoon silk straight-body robes, put on a black soft-footed hood, and only let Shen Hu and Qin Li accompany them to escort them, all the way to Fengtian City.

She personally took the preparation of medicinal materials for an afternoon, Chengying and Hanguang were familiar with the preparation of several medicinal materials, and those newly hired people were also familiar with all kinds of simple work, and the rest of the work, Qiu Chen could already rest assured if he didn't stare at it.

With this batch of medicines brought back by Liao Wenqing, the first batch of medicinal materials to be used by Qiu Chen was ready.

Back then, her smile was not so quiet, more free and hearty; Back then, she called him 'Shaodongjia' and 'Liao Gongzi'...... Back then, a qiē is gone!

After all, I missed it! It's different after all!

"Hmm." Liao Wenqing suddenly came back to his senses, suppressed the heavy loss and loneliness in his heart, raised a smile, and walked over while agreeing.

"Wenqing?" Qiu Chen shouted, and then, with a faint and pleasant smile, took a few steps forward, and said with a smile, "Turned back so soon?" All the medicines have been bought?! ”

This thought only flashed in his mind, and then, Qiu Chen, whose eyes were adjusted to the light outside, also saw the person's face clearly, and knew that he recognized the wrong person!

The light in the house dimmed, and the courtyard shone with a sunset afterglow, but it was still bright, Qiu Chen, who walked out of the door, was a little uncomfortable, squinted his eyes slightly, and then in a blink of an eye, she saw an indigo-colored figure standing there at the gate, and she couldn't help but be stunned: Why did Qin Zheng follow?

Qiu Chen happened to make a batch of pills, and when she saw that the sky was getting dark, she was also tired, so she packed up the medicines and tools in the room, and walked out of the west wing while patting the corners of her clothes.

Walking into the small courtyard in a golden warm afterglow, the yard is full of girls, daughters-in-law and children, each busy, the aroma of dozens of drugs is mixed together, forming a special aroma, permeating the entire courtyard inside and outside, in a trance, Liao Wenqing seems to have returned to nine years ago, he once again stepped into the small courtyard of Liujiaao's farmhouse, which is also a simple and clean small courtyard, and it is also fragrant and refreshing.

Back on the Zhuangzi, it was already twilight, and the sunset would set, and the afterglow would be scattered all over the land.

After Liao Wenqing received the medicinal materials, he knew that there were a few fine medicines that were not enough, and he knew that the pharmacy itself would not sell them all, so he volunteered to go back to Fengtian City.

Approaching the end of March, the weather is fine, and even Liaodi feels the warmth of spring.

Qiu Chen took Chengying and Hanguang to operate for a while, and seeing that the two of them were familiar, he handed over the concoction work to the two of them, and he began to use the concocted medicinal materials to bring them into the West Wing and began to dispense medicines.

These people can't concoct medicinal materials, but simple tasks such as crushing, sifting, selecting, and sorting only need to be careful and serious, and they don't need much technology, Qiu Chen pays a lot of money, these people cherish this job very much, and they are very serious and careful in doing the work.

After lunch, Qiu Chen took Chengying and Hanguang, as well as more than 20 people who had just been recruited, and began to sort out and concoct various medicinal materials.

Qiu Chen unceremoniously arrested Liao Wenqing and handed over the acceptance of medicinal materials to him. She herself took the copper parts brought back by Shen Hu and examined them carefully, inspected them inside and out, and tested them with the glass syringe, and found out two imperfect places and pointed them out to Shen Hu, so that he could go back to negotiate with the coppersmith after dinner.

She had just finished this work, went back to the backyard to wash her hands and sit down to rest, but before she finished drinking a cup of tea, she reported that the medicinal materials ordered yesterday had been delivered, and even Shen Hu had come back with her, and Shen Hu had also brought back a copper tool that had just been made to make a sample, thinking about showing it to Qiu Chen, and then building it according to the required quantity.

With these three bear bile, Qiu Chen began to do some pretreatment.

The three bear tans are all complete, and one of them is still very fresh, not completely dry, it should be the gallbladder of the black bear that Liao Wenqing bought before.

Liao Wenqing went back to get bear bile the day before, and rushed back just after Chenzheng this morning.

Therefore, early the next morning, Shen Hu was sent into the city by Qiu Chen to find a skilled old coppersmith to make some things. Qiu Chen carried two sets of glass injection needles, one large and one small, but some of the connected pipes still had to be made of bronze.

If you want to use rectal administration, you need to customize the matching drug delivery tools, as well as the matching sterilization utensils.

Yesterday, they were in a hurry to configure, but they were divided into packs according to the decoction. When the decoction is to be boiled, it is inconvenient to take, it is better to make zuò into pills, and distribute them to the patient when the time comes, the patient only needs to have a bowl of hot water at home, and the pills can be taken after they are boiled, and the condition is not too urgent, and they can also be taken directly with water, although the effect of the medicine is slightly slower, but it is more convenient to take. Also, this time the epidemic, the most serious people are the elderly and children, the elderly take medicine, it is good to say, some children can't take medicine at all, and they have to find other ways to use medicine. Qiu Chen decided to use the more mature rectal medicine in Anyang. Rectal medication only requires a certain technique, but the advantages are particularly prominent, the pain of pediatric medication is small, the medication is accurate, there is no worry about the child's resistance and vomiting, and the rectal mucosa can directly absorb the active ingredients of the drug, which is much faster than oral medication. The effect of medication is particularly good for children with high fever and dizziness.

Qiu Chen took the two girls Chengying and Hanguang, and selected more than a dozen neat and clean people among the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law in Zhuangzi, and also selected more than a dozen obedient half-sized children, and began to prepare for mass production and configuration of drugs.

Early the next morning, everyone got up early, Shen Hu took a guard, brought medicine, and went to deliver the medicine according to the patient's address recorded by Qiu Chen before. The reason why Shen Hu was asked to run in person was that Qiu Chen needed him not only to send the medicine, but also to bring back the patient's medical inquiry record.

Everyone was tired and sleepy, so they washed hastily and fell asleep.

This batch of medicines will be distributed early tomorrow morning, and each packet will be able to alleviate at least one patient's condition, or make the high fever subside, and maybe, they will be able to save a few more lives by rushing this night!

This batch of medicine is just a sample brought back by Shen Hu and Hanguang on horseback, the quantity is not much, a total of dozens of catties, it took more than two hours to concoct and pack, and the neat medicine bags were piled up on the big case in the west wing, and the earthy yellow straw paper seemed to glow with a layer of warm light under the candlelight.

In the evening, despite his fatigue, Qiu Chen led people to start concocting and sorting out the first batch of medicines, and then weighed and prepared them according to the fixed recipe, and packaged them one by one.

After this qiē was packed, Shen Hu and Hanguang also turned back and brought back the first batch of medicinal materials purchased.

After that, Qiu Chen personally took Chengying and his two daughters-in-law to clean up the west wing, put a row of cabinets against the wall, and also put a big case in the room, which was used as a dispensing room. He also had a stove set up in the aisle next to the house, and built a simple shed with purlins and reeds to shelter from the wind and rain, and a simple drug processing room was formed.

After writing the recipe and even listing the methods of preparing various medicinal materials, Qiu Chen also cleaned up the room and walked out.

Qiu Chen quickly determined several prescriptions according to his condition, which were used for patients with early onset, late stage, and critical symptoms.

Once the nature of the epidemic is determined, the direction and formula of treatment will be easy.

Unexpectedly, this time the epidemic did not surprise her, it was not typhoid fever in the narrow sense of the modern term, but influenza transmitted by a virus. Because, she was unable to detect the presence of typhoid bacilli in several samples. Moreover, this season is relatively cold, and it is not the season of typhoid fever transmission outbreaks. After all, typhoid bacteria are transmitted from food and water, and cold winters are not conducive to its reproduction and spread.

Soon, Qiu Chen had a result.

After disposing of the samples one by one, Qiu Chen took the first sample smear collected three days ago and began to observe it with a microscope.

At this time, Qiu Chen had already wrapped his hair, wore a mask, and wore a smock with a certain isolation effect. Then, she took samples from the patients out of the glass bottles she had with her and began to sort them out one by one.

After sprinkling and sweeping and finishing the arrangement, Chengying retreated, leaving Qiu Chen alone in the room.

Sending people to purchase medicines, Qiu Chen took Chengying to start cleaning up Zhuangzi's first entrance to the main room, and placed a big case in the Xili room, with an indigo three-shuttle tablecloth spread on it, and then, took out the wooden box that Chengying had carried all the way and placed it on top of the big case. Next to it, there are several long tables placed against the wall, end to end, and some simple practical utensils are placed.

The bezoar is also rare, but it is slightly easier to find than rhino horn and bear bile, after all, the Ming Kingdom is an agricultural civilization, and the farmers raise the most is the cultivated cattle, whether it is a cattle, a buffalo, and the gallstones can be authentic bezoars, and the number is relatively more.

Fortunately, she brought more bezoar detoxification pills and salicylic acid tablets, and the effect of bezoar detoxification pills is also good, coupled with the rapid and effective antipyretic function of salicylic acid tablets, the effect is not even weaker than rhino horn detoxification pills.

The batch of rhino horns in Qiu Chen's hand was still paid tribute by the envoy of Nan Chen, and Yang Jingyong helped her pour out three pairs of large and small rhino horns from the palace, which allowed her to make a batch of rhino horn antidote pills and put them in Renhetang as the treasure of the town store.

Before Qiu Chen came, there was no way to determine what medicine to use, but according to the symptoms of the epidemic known at that time, it could probably be inferred that it belonged to infectious influenza or typhoid fever, and the main use was heat-clearing and detoxification medicinal materials. Qiu Chen only carried a batch of heat-clearing and detoxification drugs produced by Renhetang, including rhino horn antidote pills that focused on treating high fever and dizziness; Calculus detoxification pills that clear heat and detoxify; There are also key antipyretic salicylic acid tablets, etc., all of which are brought with drugs with remarkable effects and quick results. After using it on the road, it also proved that the medicine she brought was symptomatic, especially the rhino horn antidote pill had a remarkable effect on treating high fever and dizziness. However, rhino horn is a more cherished medicine than bear bile. Black bears and rhinos are both ferocious animals, and it is not easy to hunt them either. At least there are a lot of black bears in China, and they are found in relatively large mountains, which is not uncommon. Rhinos are all imported medicinal herbs, and the most recent rhinos are also in Southeast Asia and South Asia.

After the simple and well-intentioned reception banquet, Qiu Chen did not rest, and immediately asked Liao Wenqing to bring bear bile to her, and at the same time, he also opened a list and sent Shen Hu to take Hanguang into the city to buy medicinal materials.

sighed, and the brilliance in Liao Wenqing's eyes inevitably flashed a touch of gloom. Some people, some things, once missed, become forever. He didn't have regrets in his heart, but he could only do so, as she wished, and worked hard to live and protect silently.

Liao Wenqing has been smiling and thinking about Qiu Chen's actions, and secretly sighed in his heart, although the woman in front of him is in a high position, her temperament has not changed, she is still so free and easy, casual and gentle, sincere to others, and delicate and understanding......

That is, there is only one bear paw, and the other dishes are the same on the table of the entourage as those in the house, Qiu Chen will not say anything anymore, but only call Chengying and Hanguang, who are waiting on the side, and divide some of the dishes on that plate and let the two of them take them to the outhouse to eat.

After talking about bear bile, the two stopped talking about other topics for the time being, and began to eat intently. Bear paws are rare, Qiu Chen left a few pieces for himself and Liao Wenqing, and let Chengying take the rest out and share it with the two girls and Qin Li and others who came with him.

Shaking his head, Qiu Chen smiled: "It's just to save lives, three is almost enough." If you use it again, it's not too late for you to buy it. ”

Qiu Chen blinked, revealing a bright smile. What a surprise, a big surprise. It turned out that she only had one bear bile, and she could save a few more lives at a critical time, but she didn't expect that Liao Wenqing still had three more in her hand. The amount of rare medicine dispensed is not large, three bear bile, and it is enough to save lives only in an emergency.

"That's ...... The previous ones were all sent away, and now there are only three pieces left that were collected after the year. Liao Wenqing said with a little regret, "However, if you are useful, there are also pharmacies in Fengtian City, and if I go around, I can probably recover ten or eight pieces." ”

Good steel is used on the blade, and good medicine is used to save lives, only in this way is the best use of bear bile, a rare medicinal material!

In this case, Qiu Chen really didn't dare to use bear bile to dispense medicine before, even now, when he encountered a bear bile, Qiu Chen didn't think about using bear bile to treat epidemic diseases on a large scale, which is not realistic for the situation of a large number of people infected with epidemic diseases. The reason why he talks about bear bile, Qiu Chen is not thinking of treating diseases, but using bear bile to make detoxification pills, which can be used on those patients whose lives are in danger to detoxify, reduce fever and save lives!

It is not easy to hunt bears, and there is only one bear bile for hundreds of catties of big bears, which is less than one or two after drying, and the cherishing of bear bile can be seen.

Qiu Chen was not in vain, and simply nodded and admitted: "This epidemic was a high fever at the beginning, and then the high fever caused symptoms such as poison and faint speech. It's just that bear bile is rare, and I didn't dare to use it to dispense medicine before. ”

"Isn't it useful?" Seeing Qiu Chen's expression, Liao Wenqing had already guessed the probability, so he asked.

The Liao family is a family of medicine, and there was once an imperial doctor. Although Liao Wenqing has not practiced medicine, he is still very rich in basic knowledge of medicine, and he will naturally not waste bear bile, a precious drug, and must have done a perfect treatment.

Qiu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

Liao Wenqing smiled and shook his head: "Have you forgotten what our Liao family does?" ”

As soon as he heard that he had bought a bear, Qiu Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "You actually got a bear so well...... What about bear bile? ”

Saying that, Liao Wenqing took another piece of bear paw and put it on Qiu Chen's plate, and said with a smile: "It's also your blessing, the day before yesterday, this bear fell into the hunter's trap, and I got the news, so I asked people to buy it back." This is the right slap, and the other three are sealed with processing. ”

Liao Wenqing shook his head with a smile and said, "I have the heart, but I don't have the ability." The most I can hunt when I go up the mountain is to hunt robes and deer, and I can't hunt bears and tigers, but I still have this self-knowledge. ”

Knowing that she was coming, Liao Wenqing would definitely prepare carefully, but the special trip to fight a bear was still beyond her expectations. The reason is not anything else, but under the premise that there are no hot weapons in this era, it is extremely difficult and extremely dangerous to hunt bears. If the bear goes berserk, the lethality is no worse than that of the tiger.

Qiu Chen's eyes glared exaggeratedly, then he gathered his mind and concentrated on tasting the food in his mouth. After a moment, he swallowed the food in his mouth, and then he said, "It's actually a fresh bear's paw...... You wouldn't go out into the mountains and shoot a bear back, would you? ”

Liao Wenqing looked at Qiu Chen with doting eyes and nodded with a smile.

After speaking, without waiting for Liao Wenqing to respond, Qiu Chen grabbed the chopsticks, took a piece of red and shiny meat and put it in his mouth, and after a slight bite, Qiu Chen's eyes widened, and he turned his eyes to Liao Wenqing and shouted: "Bear paw!" It's actually a bear's paw! ”

There is no exquisite and gorgeous porcelain, there is no extravagant ivory chopstick, and even the dishes do not have beautiful shapes and colors, but the dishes and thick soups served in ordinary porcelain pots and porcelain bowls are all steaming hot and fragrant, Qiu Chen couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw it, and smiled at Liao Wenqing: "These are all good things, thank you!" ”

While the two of them were talking, Chengying took the two neat daughters-in-law on the Zhuangzi and had already brought lunch over.

Nowadays, after only four or five years of hard work, even the ginseng planted in the first year is only a three-leaf lampstand for four years, and the roots of the medicine are even smaller and useless. These ginseng don't see benefits for a short time, but in another 10, 20, or even 50 years...... In these mountain forests, dozens or even hundreds of ginseng plants can be excavated every year, what is the concept? How many people can be saved? When I think about it, I feel that my heart is hot. It's no wonder that Qiu Chen was excited.

First, look for wild ginseng in the mountains, pick the seeds, and then plant them in a suitable place to allow the ginseng seeds to sprout and grow naturally. In this way, the germination of seeds and the survival rate and even the proportion of ginseng grown into ginseng are naturally much smaller than that of artificial seedlings and then planted, but it is also through the strict screening of nature that the ginseng that can survive is the essence of heaven and earth.

That's why Qiu Chen pays so much attention to understory ginseng, and because the planting conditions of understory ginseng here are far harsher than modern ginseng planting.

Therefore, Qiu Chen only talked about the cultivation of ginseng under the forest, but did not mention the cultivation of fungus, which is the most profitable.

Liao Wenqing is convinced of this and is also very confident. But Qiu Chen was not very excited, these technologies have been done for many years in modern times, and there are many varieties of successful artificial cultivation of mushrooms. It's just that those artificially cultivated edible mushrooms can no longer be called mountain delicacies, and at best they can only be regarded as relatively distinctive vegetables. Artificial cultivation can cultivate the reproduction of a large number of strains, but it cannot provide the essence and nutrients that the mountains and wilderness can naturally give to the strains, and the nutrition and taste are naturally greatly reduced.

At the beginning, the reason why Liao Wenqing came to Liaodi was because he listened to Qiu Chen's words. After that, not only bought the wasteland to reclaim into a large grain village, but also bought a lot of barren mountains, in the natural primeval forest on the barren mountains, looking for a suitable place to plant ginseng, schisandra, eleuthero and other precious medicinal materials, but also on the Zhuangzi and in the mountains and forests to select a suitable place, with dead wood experiments to plant fungus, monkey's head and other precious edible fungi, among them, the artificial planting of fungus has been successful, and, the year before last began mass production, in the past two years, the scale has expanded several times, the output is naturally doubled, last year, The income from the artificial cultivation of fungus alone is higher than that of the two large grain farms, and the economic benefits are extremely considerable. This year, Liao Wenqing will further expand the planting scale of fungus and further increase the economic benefits of fungus. In addition, the artificial cultivation of lion's mane mushroom has also been recognized, if there is no accident, at most two years, the artificial cultivation and cultivation of lion's mane mushroom can be successful, and start to put into production. Then, there are dozens of rare mushrooms such as mouth mushrooms, yellow mushrooms, and hazel mushrooms, which will also start planting experiments one by one. Once successful, these fungi can not only be planted in Liaodi, as long as the cultivation environment is replicated, these mountain delicacies in Liaodi can even grow in the capital or Jiangnan, and at that time, the people in Beijing or Jiangnan will be able to eat fresh mountain delicacies locally.

Qiu Chen looked at Liao Wenqing like this with a smile, her eyes narrowed with a smile, and when Liao Wenqing's words fell, she shook her head and said, "Let you say this, I have become a Flying Dragon Terminator." Hehe, but if I have time, I also want to go to the mountains and forests...... Hunting came second, and I was eager to see what was going on with the understory ginseng we planted. Every mountain is ginseng, tsk! ”

Liao Wenqing has been in Liaodi for four or five years, and he personally led people to buy pieces of wasteland, meadows, mountains and forests, and then led people to cultivate and plant little by little, turning pieces of wasteland into farms with fertile land and abundant products. It is also in this process of hardships and difficulties that he has unconsciously developed a strong attachment and identification with this land, and he has regarded this fertile and vast land as his second hometown. So, speaking of these, he seems to have returned to the free and active nature of the past, and he has talked more.

The two smiled helplessly at the same time, changing the topic, Liao Wenqing smiled and said: "You must not be able to come and go in a hurry this time, it's not too late to say anything slowly." It's not time, presumably you are in a hurry and haven't eaten, let's eat first, knowing that you are coming, I let people hang the flying dragon soup. I remember that you liked that, it was not easy to transport long distances before, and that thing was not easy to feed, so there was no way to send much to the capital, but this time it's okay, when you get here, you don't have to worry about not being able to eat, and you want to eat as much as you want. ”

She looked at Liao Wenqing, and both of them saw something in each other's eyes. They know each other, but no one will say anything - several key roads leading to the outside of the customs have actually been blocked, people in the customs can go out of the customs, and if they want to return to the customs from outside the customs, it is not possible to return to the customs in a short time. This kind of lockdown will not be lifted until at least the epidemic outside the border is completely eliminated.

As he spoke, Qiu Chen couldn't help but be silent for a moment.

“…… This disease, as long as it is treated properly, is relatively easy and will not kill people again. However, what is more troublesome is that it is difficult to prevent and control this disease, and there is no way to achieve strict isolation. ”

Qiu Chen had already seen several patients, she had already prepared, when she entered those villages, Qiu Chen and the entourage wore masks to protect them, and after checking those patients, they also left some medicine and food, and asked people to make records, and then they had to do further treatment.

No one was seen in the village that had collapsed, and according to people from neighboring villages, those who survived there had also fled, going into the city in search of a way to survive or simply fleeing back to Guannai.

In some villages, the houses are still intact, and in some villages, the houses are relatively damaged, and in one of the most strict villages, more than sixty percent of the houses have collapsed, and the remaining ones that have not collapsed are also damaged, and they have become dangerous houses that cannot be inhabited. In the early spring of Liaodi, without the shelter of the house, and without enough clothes and quilts to protect against the cold, the surviving people suffered from the wind and cold, and lacked food and clothing, so the disease naturally came.

After all, it was close to the border pass, wars were frequent, and the climate was relatively bitter and cold, although after the border expanded to the north, the environment here has improved a lot, and many people in the customs have gone out to make a living, but after all, there is no way to compare with the prosperous population areas of the Central Plains.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Qiu Chen continued: "The population of Liaodi is limited, and giving grain and rice, soup porridge and clothes are just things that can be done with money. The more difficult is the condition of typhoid fever...... Along the way, the ground movement caused many villages to collapse and destroy houses, leaving people homeless, and the cold weather, and the ensuing typhoid fever, took the lives of many people...... I have seen a few patients, and I have made a general understanding of the specific situation, although this time the epidemic is not as strict as the epidemic in Huixian Qinghe, but it is also more entangled, the key is that this epidemic is not from water, food to spread infection, but gasping and inhaling can make the plague spread infection and get sick...... In this way, it is more difficult to prevent it......"

Seeing Liao Wenqing nodding and admitting, Qiu Chen smiled with satisfaction, although the two of them have been separated for several years, it is still easy to regain the original tacit understanding when they are together. This kind of communication, where someone understands and someone understands, is really comfortable and pleasant.

Qiu Chen talked about the weather, but he just changed the topic, yes, when he heard Liao Wenqing say this, he smiled and nodded in agreement, and then the topic changed to the main topic: "Why I came here this time, I guess you can guess if I don't say it." ”

Liao Wenqing looked at Qiu Chen and smiled, and said, "Yanshan is in one vein, stretching from east to west, blocking the cold wind from the north, and the capital is naturally warm. This is like Shanyin and Shanyang, but the difference in the direction of a mountain, Shanyang and Shanyang are full of flowers, or Shanyin may still be a piece of ice and snow. ”

Qiu Chen explained simply, covering up his previous embarrassment, and then smiled: "This road to the north, but a few hundred miles, I didn't expect the weather to be so different." The capital is already red and green, and you can't see green here! ”

Qiu Chen shook his head with a somewhat abrupt smile, walked over generously, sat down opposite Liao Wenqing, took a sip of tea, and then smiled: "I haven't run too far today, I'm not tired, don't worry about my ......"

"Okay?" A soft inquiry sounded, recalling Qiu Chen's fugue thoughts. Looking back at the past, it was Liao Wenqing's gentle and tolerant smile.

The world is impermanent, and creation is changing! No one knows where you will be in the future and what your situation will be!

Today, Liao Wenqing is still handsome, still smart, and empathetic...... However, it seems that since his mother passed away, he can no longer see the original relaxed and almost heartless smile on his face!

seems to be a frivolous swinger, but he has business talents that are not inferior to anyone, and at the same time he is smart, he is rare to be gentle and generous, and decisive and decisive...... In that case, I would dare to believe her words and sign a cooperation agreement with her to jointly produce and sell the patent medicine...... After that, the cooperation projects between the two sides increased one by one, and the friendship between the two deepened step by step, and vaguely, she felt the difference between him and her...... Once, she also tried hard to make Liao Wenqing's mother accept her and agree to their marriage. No one expected that Liao's mother was seriously ill and died, and Liao Wenqing blamed himself too deeply...... In the end, she married into the capital and became the Marquis of Jingbei and the lord of Anning. Liao Wenqing also received the holy decree and was about to marry Princess Fu'an as his wife and become the captain of the horse......

Once saw for the first time, Liao Wenqing was so free and easy!

Qiu Chen stood at the door of the ear room, looking at Liao Wenqing who was stunned, and a touch of distress welled up in his eyes.

Liao Wenqing was sitting in the hall, holding a cup of tea and slowly fiddling with the lid of the cup, but his eyes looked over the teacup at the unknown place, slightly distracted.

As he spoke, Qiu Chen took a look around and saw that Chengying and Hanguang had already brought their two mothers-in-law to send washing water, towels and other things. Qiu Chen stopped talking for a while, walked to the ear room in the corner of the house and briefly freshened up, still holding his hair on the top of his head, wrapped a hair towel, and walked out while arranging his robe.

Qiu Chen's gaze wandered around the room very casually, looked back at Liao Wenqing and shook his head with a smile: "Have you forgotten the house I lived in back then?" It's worse than that! I think it's good, it's clean, it's bright......"

Walking into Zhuangzi, Liao Wenqing also asked Qiu Chen: "It's just a temporary stay here, but it can't be lived." I have a courtyard in Fengtian City, you can rest for a while, eat something, let's go back to Fengtian City to settle down. ”

Because Zhuangzi is far away from the capital, when it was built before, I didn't expect the masters of the capital to come here to inspect, yes, although the village courtyard was also built, it was very simple, just a small two-entry courtyard, and there were more than a dozen rooms before and after, and the internal facilities were very simple.

As he spoke, he walked into Zhuangzi.

Because Emperor Jingshun's mourning was not finished, and the new emperor did not ascend the throne, she left Beijing this time to travel secretly. After her, there will be a doctor sent by the Tai Hospital, and there will also be a doctor from her Renhetang. and the group of students she trained. The doctors of Tai Hospital came for the epidemic, and the doctors and students of her Renhetang paid equal attention to multiple disciplines, especially the trauma department...... Because of the earthquake, there are the most traumatic and fractured patients here, although the initial most favorable treatment time has passed, but it is only two months, the patient's broken bones can not be completely integrated, if there is a misalignment, fracture is not corrected, the correction is not in place, can be reconnected after the wrong bones...... With the anesthetic decoction, the process of reconnecting the wrong bones is no longer unbearable. As long as the misaligned bones are in place, the bones can grow and heal again in the future, so as to minimize the sequelae and restore the ability to move and work.

Qiu Chen quickly learned a general situation from these stewards. Combined with what she saw with her own eyes along the way, she also roughly deduced whether what these people said was the truth, mixed with water. However, this time, her first task was not to inspect Zhuangzi, but to check the damage situation of the victims in various places and start to provide relief to the victims. Understand the development and spread of typhoid fever, and then determine prevention and eradication measures according to the condition of the disease, so as to control and eliminate the epidemic as much as possible.

This time, the news was already obtained, and the stewards of Liaodi and Zhuangzi outside the mouth rushed over.

After that, Liao Wenqing stepped aside and introduced the Zhuangzi stewards behind him to Qiu Chen. The stewards trembled and kowtowed, and after Qiu Chen shouted, he said a few words of encouragement, and beckoned Liao Wenqing and the stewards to walk all the way to the Zhuangzi, while asking about the situation in the Zhuangzi.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they both felt depressed in their chests, and the whole person was relaxed and happy.

After a trance, Liao Wenqing came back to his senses, looked at the woman in front of him who had not changed, and couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, good, good, good!" ”

Rare cheerfulness, even with a slight naughty and coquettish meaning, Liao Wenqing was slightly stunned, and in a trance, it seemed that he had returned to the first time he saw her, in Qingshui Town's Rejuvenation Hall. At that time, although she was in tattered clothes, her face was dark and thin, her eyes were dark and bright, and she spoke briskly and naughtyly, and she was reasonable, but in a few words, she persuaded Lao Jiang, the concoction master hired at a high price in the Rejuvenation Hall, and since then, the concoction master surnamed Jiang has always treated her as a master.

"Good!" Qiu Chen was still holding the reins of rouge in one hand, his face was smiling like a flower, his eyes were slightly squinted because of joy, revealing a slow ease and pleasure, "It's so good, there's nothing better!" ”

Away from the capital, where it is like a cage fence, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the land is wide and the road is long...... It really makes people breathe out a sigh of depression and feel comfortable.

Qiu Chen stood with a smile, although she was tired and her legs were sore and numb, her spirit was very good at this time, and her mood was very relaxed.

“…… How were you doing along the way? Liao Wenqing looked Qiu Chen up and down for a moment, and could only ask such a word of concern.

Liao Wenqing was wearing an indigo pigmented cocoon silk robe, wearing a black velvet cloak, his face was slightly pale and thin, and his spirit was fine, especially a pair of eyes, which were black and clear, becoming deeper and deeper. However, when facing Qiu Chen, his gaze still softened involuntarily, and he lost his previous indifference.

Unexpectedly, less than a month after the two of them parted from the capital, they met again in Liaodi Zhuangzi at this time.

Before Liao Wenqing left, Qiu Chen also saw him once. The reason why Liao Wenqing was able to leave the capital smoothly was also due to Qiu Chen's help.

This decree is very secret, and it is not announced to the public, but it is not a secret in a certain circle. It was also after this holy decree was issued, Liao Wenqing received the holy decree and immediately left Beijing and returned to Liaodi, leaving a letter to Princess Fu'an, informing Princess Fu'an that it was okay to marry her, but she had to marry to Liaodi, and in the future, they would not live in the capital. Or Liaodi, or Anyang......

Just after Emperor Jingshun fell ill, I don't know how Princess Fu'an asked Emperor Jingshun, Emperor Jingshun actually agreed to Princess Fu'an's seemingly unreliable request, and agreed that Princess Fu'an would ask to remarry and marry Liao Wenqing, a native of Anyang who only had a good reputation. And gave Liao Wenqing the captain of the four-rank horse.

Speaking of which, Liao Wenqing has just returned to Liaodi from the capital.

When the group arrived outside Zhuangzi, Liao Wenqing and several stewards greeted him outside Zhuangzi early.

Along the way, I also passed through several disaster-stricken villages Zhuangzi, but I didn't stop long. They traveled lightly, did not bring many medicinal herbs, and were short of manpower, so they had to rush to the Zhuangzi first to settle down, and only with manpower could they carry out their work.

In this way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, all the way through Yongping, Quang Ninh, and Taining...... In the evening of the fifth day of continuous travel, we finally arrived at a large Zhuangzi located more than 100 miles south of Fengtian City. It is also a Zhuangzi who was more severely affected by the disaster.

Qiu Chen and his entourage entered Yongping City, directly found a relatively large inn to stay in, led the horses to the stable to take care of and feed, a few people went into the room to wash, eat, rest, and said nothing all night, the next morning, they got up and got on the horse and hurried away, and continued to go north, not knowing that the little leader at the gate of the city actually regarded several of them as eunuchs and eunuchs.

The little leader sighed rarely, shook his head, put aside this irrelevant thought, and when he turned around, he saw a man with a cart walking inside, and hurriedly stopped the cart with a spear in his hand, and shouted with a cold face: "Where did it come from?" Where to go? Is there a road guide, a ...... of customs and defense?"

However, it is not a blessing for eunuchs to become bigger after all!

There is another reason why this little leader didn't say it, the group of people led by a few people with delicate skin and flesh, a thin voice, and even the fingers are white and tender...... Such a person, with that kind of thing, didn't come out of the palace or where?! Before, when he saw that Gongjin Guanfang, there were almost a few people holding the ......

They are the big soldiers who watch the city gates, and they can extort a few large sums of money from the people who come and go, and they will be content to eat more meat and drink more wine. As for the rest, you have to be confused when you should be confused!

The little soldier was even more confused, and wanted to ask something more, but was interrupted by the little leader waving his hand, kicked him with a black face, and dragged him to check on the other people who had entered and left the city.

The little leader glanced at the little soldier and shook his head speechlessly: "Our place the size of a fingernail is also worth a trip for them?" ”

He has little knowledge, but he has also heard of Jinyiwei's prestige and cold style. It is said that these people acted like the wind, came and went without a trace, and specially arranged some secret missions for the emperor. The general matter of raiding homes and dismissing officials is inseparable from these people. As a result, these people have also become synonymous with mourning stars and living judges. It is said that it is not good to see these people.

"Jin Yiwei?" The soldier's eyes widened in horror and he screamed, and the soldier immediately asked, "What are they doing here with us?" Is it necessary to punish 100 households...... The prefectural magistrate? ”

The little leader showed a touch of triumph and snorted, "I don't think you know...... The most noble and powerful yamen, it is the Xiyuan Yamen who directly obeys the orders of the Long Live Lord and acts on errands. It was differentiated from the Praetorian Guard and the Yulin Guard, because he wore a robe of colorful silk brocade and wore a unified Xiujin Swallowing Waist Knife, so he was given a name and called it 'Jinyi Guard'! ”

The little soldier thought about it in confusion, and shook his head without a clue.

The little leader was interrupted, and glared at the little soldier very angrily, and laughed once, and the little soldier finally realized that he was out of shape, and quickly forced himself to laugh, and flattered him for a while, and then the little leader spoke again: "...... The biggest in Beijing is, of course, the one who is high up in the present. Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there have been people who specialize in guarding the current Banzai and directly obey the orders of Banzai to run errands, do you know that Yamen? ”

"Poof, that's a coincidence! If a brick is knocked down, wouldn't the streets be full of princes, princes, and grandfathers? The soldier laughed.

The little leader glared at him, but did not reprimand him again. He himself had just held his breath, and now he was thinking of finding someone to talk to, and exhale the stuffy breath in his chest. So he said: "Let's Yongping City, we think that the Lord of the Hundred Households and the Lord of the County Order are powerful enough, right?" Respond to all calls, eat and drink spicy ...... But when you really get to a big place, at the foot of the Son of Heaven in the capital, not to mention the hundreds of households and county orders, even the officials of the third or fourth grade can't be counted...... There is a good saying, if you don't go to the capital, you don't know the official small. It is also said that the capital made trouble and threw a brick and knocked down the servants, a prince, a marquis, and a grandfather of the country......"

"Uh, boss, don't be angry, don't be angry......" The little soldier was confused, but he also knew that he quickly admitted his mistake, and after a few words of comfort, he saw that the leader's face softened slightly, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss, tell me, what are the origins of those people just now?" Tell me, I'll see you in the future, and I'll have a good eye so that I won't hit the tip of the gun! ”

Syllable! With a crisp sound, the little leader raised his hand and slapped the little soldier's head, while scolding in a suppressed voice: "What do you know? Do you think anyone can kill it? Some people don't talk about you and me, even our hundred households and our county commanders can't see it in the eyes of others. Someone pinching you to death is like pinching an ant to death. You don't want this little life, just go up ......"

Behind them, a soldier who had obviously just entered the ranks asked in confusion: "Xie Tou'er, those fat sheep just now ......?"

"Humph!" As soon as Chengying put away the paper in his hand, he stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, led the horses, and hugged Qiu Chen, who was the leader, through the city gate hole and into Yongping City.

In fact, the leader of this small soldier does not know how to read, but the paper he sees the most on the city gate is all kinds of customs and road guides. Ordinary road guides are nothing more than sturdy mulberry paper, or even just ordinary plain paper. But some of the customs documents, especially some departments are ordered to travel customs documents are very particular, not to mention the red and clear big seal and the small seal of the chief official, just say that the paper, are several color printing, the paper page has beautiful and exquisite patterns special dark imprints, even, some of the palace yamen out of the customs defense, are sandwiched in the paper with gold and silver wire to make a special palace brocade paper, the gold and silver threads on the top of the complement each other, colorful and gorgeous patterns are exquisite and gorgeous, he only saw once before, But it didn't prevent him from remembering clearly and profoundly. The piece of paper in front of him, he could be sure at a glance, just like the one he had seen before that came out of the palace, it was all palace brocade paper with gold and silver wires!

The leader of the small soldiers stared at the paper in front of him, his face turned pale, he subconsciously shrank his neck, and in an instant, he waved his hand again and again to signal the little soldiers behind him: "Don't get out of the way, get out of the way, let a few adults enter the city!" ”

Qiu Chen put one hand behind him, and with a slight wave of the other, Cheng Ying behind him stepped forward quickly and pulled out a folded piece of paper from his cuff. Slowly opened it, held the edge of the paper in one hand and held it up in front of the little soldier leader, and said proudly and coldly: "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly!" Not everyone can take the silver, the hand is so long, be careful to cut it off with a knife! ”

For this kind of person, Qiu Chen has seen a lot in his two lives, a soldier who watches the city gate, the reason why he is so pretentious is just to take more silver and two benefits. Many foreign merchants generally do not offend these people lightly based on the psychology of breaking their wealth and avoiding disasters, and in this case, they have to take out some silver taels to make points. It is precisely this kind of appeasement and connivance that makes these people's selfish desires swell, and they are justified in doing these shady things.

Walking around the customs, you only need to issue a road guide at the local yamen as proof of identity. But when you get to the customs, in addition to the road guide, you need to bring another customs defense to pass. This is also a special situation in the previous border area and the importance of defense.

Touching his chin and holding an ash pole spear in one hand, the little leader walked up with squinted eyes, looked at Qiu Chen accurately, and said with a smug smile: "Where does your home come from?" What business does it have to come to Yongping? Can there be a road to guide the customs defense? ”

Although Qiu Chen and his entourage are only wearing black three-shuttle cloth narrow-sleeved tunic riding clothes, with turbans of the same color, and wearing soft-soled light boots on their feet, this set of clothes is just the clothes worn by the children of small families in the capital, or the clothes of servants of large families, but they left the boundary of the capital, and arrived at Yongping City outside the pass, and the three shuttle cloths on their bodies were all new clothes of good color, except for a little dust, there was no damage or wear...... In the eyes of these gatekeepers here, they have become a sign of a fat sheep.

Before reaching the city gate, several people were stopped by a group of gatekeepers. The eyes of a small leader in leather armor and a helmet lit up, and his gaze focused directly on Qiu Chen and his party.

It is also because of the border outside the pass, the city is also much more heavily guarded, and the personnel and vehicles entering and leaving the city must be carefully checked by the guards. Looking at the flow of people waiting to enter the city for inspection, Qiu Chen led everyone to dismount, led the horses, and slowly walked towards the city gate with the flow of people.

The town outside the pass, because of the special geographical location, before the subjugation of Beirong, here is already close to the border pass, yes, the town guards are more, and the city gate is closed earlier at night, and the city gate is closed at the time of the unitary, which is more than an hour earlier than the time of the capital. The unitary time is in the winter, that is, in the evening, and the summer unitary time is the high sun!

Although Yongping is only a county seat, it guards the only way from the capital to Liaodi, and it is the first relatively prosperous town with a large population after leaving the customs.

After galloping along the way, they only made a short stop by a small river in the middle, drank some water, ate some dry food, and let the horses rest a little, but in two quarters of an hour they got on their horses again and set off, and finally at the moment of Shen, everyone came to an inconspicuous blue-gray town - Yongping City!

This group of people, including Qiu Chen, Chengying and Hanguang's master and servant, a total of eight people, are all dressed in black men's clothes, Qiu Chen and Chengying Hanguang have made some modifications on their faces, blackened their faces, painted thick eyebrows, etc., they may still look a little thin, but at a glance, almost no one can recognize these three as women.

Qiu Chen galloped on his horse, turned his head to look at the box tied to the horse's back behind Chengying, and a touch of happiness slipped in his heart - fortunately, after several years of pondering and testing, Jialiang finally succeeded in making high-definition and high-accuracy optical glass in Liu Jiaao's glass workshop, and she also successfully assembled two microscopes, which were debugged and tested, and the results were good. I can't do too much delicate work, but it's enough to make a bacterial culture determination.

This is just her guess, she has not seen the patient, and the excerpts reported by the officials are too simplistic, and there is almost no mention of the patient's symptoms, and she is not sure, and she can only wait until she gets there and sees the patient to confirm the diagnosis.

According to Qiu Chen's analysis of the situation reported from there, this typhoid epidemic may not be the typhoid fever caused by typhoid bacilli as modern medicine says, but it is likely to be a kind of influenza that has a relatively rapid onset and is violent.

In addition, Liaodi, Kouwai is located in the north, spring comes late, although in mid-March, the capital is already a spring blossom in a grand scene, but there is still a bitter cold wind, the weather is cold and even snow. Such a cold weather has also made the victims who have nowhere to take refuge miserable, plus those who were injured before, lack of medical treatment, lack of food and clothing...... When Emperor Jingshun died, there was already an urgent report from Liaodi and Kouwai, where an epidemic of typhoid fever broke out, and dozens of people died.

When the population is dense, the number of people affected by the disaster increases. Moreover, the scattered single-family migrant villages, or the houses on other people's villages, were built relatively simply, and most of them were adobe houses and thatched houses built of adobe and wood branches, which were not earthquake resistant at all and collapsed.

Because the frontier expanded to the north for thousands of miles, the mouth and Liaodi, which were originally border passes, suddenly became inland hinterland. In addition, due to the development of a large area of fertile land after the war, a large number of immigrants from the customs area poured out of the customs to make a living in the years after the war. As a result, the population of these places has increased dramatically. Just the population change of Qiu Chen's own Zhuangzi can be seen that from no more than 100 people at the beginning, it has now exceeded 60,000 people, and the population has increased by 60 times. This can be seen from the increase in population in places such as Guanwai and Liaodi.

With a large area of fertile land and a high-yield crop like corn, Qiu Chen has accumulated a large amount of grain in his hands over the years, most of which has been hoarded in various villages.

Since coming to this world, for ten years, from being poor and white, without the embarrassment of overnight food, Qiu Chen has worked hard all the way, and has earned a huge piece of family property. In addition to the daily use of flowers and the maintenance and operation of workshops and shops, Qiu Chen took out a large part of his assets to buy large fields in various places, especially Kouwai and Liaodi, she entrusted Xu Wenqing and Liao Wenqing to buy more than a dozen large Zhuangzi one after another, and the area of fertile land alone can reach as many as 10,000 hectares, and there are several large pastures and forests.

Emperor Jingshun's funeral settled down a little, and Qiu Chen's fold was handed over to Qin Zheng.

Before the ground moved, the disaster situation in Liaodi was the most severe.

Qiu Chen glanced at the southeast for the last time, nodded, turned around silently, took the reins of the horse handed over by Qin Li, grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand, and held the saddle on the back of the rouge with the other, recognized the stirrup on the horse, and gently clamped the horse's belly with his legs.

Chengying took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Madam, the hour is not early, get on the horse and hurry, we still have more than 200 miles to get to Yongping City!" ”

At a fork in the road, seven or eight men led their horses and watched the convoy drift away until it was submerged below the horizon and out of sight.

This time, Qiu Chen left Beijing for the reason of returning to her hometown to visit relatives, and her convoy could go to Tongzhou after leaving the capital, abandon the car and board the boat at the Tongzhou Canal Wharf, and go all the way south to Anyang.

Qiu Chen did not wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne, after three days of mourning and mourning, after Qin Zheng returned home safely, the next day, the marquis of Jingbei and his wife went to the fold, Mrs. Jingbei Marquis, the lord of Anning County took leave to leave Beijing, and Emperor Yong'an was approved. It's just that the new emperor has just inherited the throne and has not yet ascended the throne, there are still undercurrents surging inside and outside the capital, and the Marquis of Jingbei stayed in the capital to guard, and the county lord of Anning could only leave the capital with the triplets who had just turned seven months old.

The new emperor ascended the throne, granted amnesty to the world, and the military and civilians were removed from mourning clothes, and the life that had been hindered by Emperor Jingshun's serious illness, death, and mourning was almost returned to normal. Of course, the official stopped music and got married within 100 days; The military and civilians stopped marrying for a month, and stopped music for a hundred days. Within 100 days, the text will be transferred to the blue seal, and the instructions will be written with a blue pen. Slaughter is prohibited for 49 days...... And so on until the date is full before the ban can be opened, not to mention.

Although the new emperor's edict reduced the cost and reduced the specifications, this enthronement was still grand and luxurious, and the sound of ceremonial horns and salutes resounded into a single place, successfully repelling the gloomy clouds and mist up and down the capital. The new emperor ascended the throne and the new era name was announced, indicating that Emperor Jingshun had become a thing of the past, and the Yong'an Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty opened a new chapter.

On the 27th, after the first emperor's tomb was transferred to the Qin'an Hall of Long Live Mountain, the Ming Dynasty also ushered in the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor. In addition to serving the next day, it was the auspicious day that Qin Tianjian was optimistic about, Yang Jingyong ascended the throne, changed the country name to Yong'an, and officially became a new generation of monarchs of the Ming Kingdom.

The Son of Heaven bears the weight of a country, shoulders the sun and the moon, and the people of the society, so naturally he can't really keep filial piety for 27 months, so he uses the day to replace the month, and he can remove filial piety on the 27th day of filial piety.

When parents and relatives die, filial sons and grandchildren are all served and decrepitized, and filial piety is kept for three years, under normal circumstances, the actual filial piety is 27 months to remove filial piety.

If it is the 27th, the civil and military officials and the internal and external women gather in the palace again, cry and worship, and the coffin of the Jingshun Emperor is moved to the Qin'an Hall of Wansui Mountain to be placed and worshipped, and after 7749 days, it is sent to the emperor's tomb for burial.

From the fourth day, the maiden no longer has to enter the palace to cry the spirit, only the inner maiden and the hundred officials of the court cry once a day.

On the evening of the third day, Qiu Chen walked out of the palace with all the women, all of them had haggard faces and a look of food, no one had the energy or strength to talk and chat, and hurriedly boarded his own sedan car to go back to the house to rest.

I went out early and returned late, went out with the stars, went home with a lantern, and in a hurry, three days passed. The large-scale sacrifice of mourning spirits for the first emperor has come to an end for the time being.

After the meal, Qiu Chen sat down slightly, and Yang Jingyong took the lead to leave. Qiu Chen went back to the clean room again, washed up, and then rushed to Qingning Palace with the two girls for the second half of the day!

Yang Jingyong's food was not sweet, but he also ate a bowl of porridge and a few mille-feuille goose fat rolls, and also ate some vegetables, not too much, but he could also say that it was over. Qiu Chen and An Lu were a little relieved, and they were no longer reluctant.

The meal, in the sound of Qiu Chen and An Lu's interjection, was quickly finished.

An Lu looked at his master with the corner of his eye, and saw that Yang Jingyong was not in the slightest, so he agreed with confidence: "Madame, don't worry, such a little thing is wrapped up in the little one." ”

"Well, that's good!" Qiu Chen motioned to Yang Jingyong to eat quickly, and turned around and instructed An Rong, "After the big thing in front of you, you remember to ask for this recipe for me, and I will take it back and let the cook make it for the children to eat, it is so soft and smooth, the children like it." ”

Qiu Chen looked at Yang Jingyong and shook his head, he took a spoon and dug a piece of 'race tofu' into his mouth, sure enough, it was refreshing and smooth, without the slightest fishy smell of duck eggs, but there was a smooth and fresh fragrance that tofu did not have.

Yang Jingyong sighed, so he had to speak by himself: "This product is an egg custard made of duck egg whites, which is as smooth as white jade, and it is also called 'Sai Tofu', so it is not wrong to call it tofu." ”

Qiu Chen shook his head and said, "If I say something wrong, I am wrong, who can be a sage if he is not a sage!" I'm not uncomfortable yet, so why do you reprimand him! ”

An Rong hung his head aggrievedly, stepped back, and stood behind Yang Jingyong with his hands down, not daring to make a sound.

"You know!" Yang Jingyong glared at An Rong and scolded.

An Lu whispered beside him: "Madame is wrong this time, this product is not tofu ......"

Qiu Chen put down the meal, raised his head, met Yang Jingyong's gaze, and said with a calm expression: "After drinking the porridge, you can eat these quickly." The porridge warms the stomach, but the fast is not hungry...... Hmm, this tofu lotus pod is good. ”

The small bowl used by the emperor is not big, the mouth of the bowl is the size of a palm, and half a bowl of soup is only drunk in a few sips.

Sighing secretly, hiding the gloom that flashed in his eyes, Qiu Chen took another bowl and filled himself with a bowl of soup, sat down and drank it one by one.

Before, Qiu Chen and Yang Jingyong had dinner together not once or twice, whether Yang Jingyong was the prince of Tang or later became the prince, she did not have this habit of testing drugs, and she also ignored it, now, the person in front of her is neither Tang Gongzi nor Prince Yong, he has already won the great inheritance, and will soon ascend the throne to become the supreme ruler of this country, and reign over the world.

An's action made Qiu Chen slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized that An'an was testing for poison - it seems that there are records in history that whenever the emperor, queen, and queen mother are fed, there are eunuchs or palace maids around them to try poison to prevent someone from poisoning.

Yang Jingyong raised his hand to pick it up, but An Yi reached out and took it, and directly scooped a small half spoonful of porridge into his mouth, and then turned to Yang Jingyong and said in a low voice: "Master, it's not hot or cold, it's just right, you drink it quickly!" ”

Qiu Chen shook his head, raised his hand to pick up the small bowl on the table, filled a bowl of porridge and handed it over: "You haven't eaten well since yesterday, your stomach is very empty, drink the porridge first to warm your stomach." ”

"Master, forgive sins, forgive sins!"

"Get out!" Yang Jingyong happened to come over, and when he heard this, he raised his foot and kicked it. An Braided didn't hide, turned sideways slightly, and used the thick part of the flesh to bear the kick firmly, while begging for mercy with a bitter face.

An Lu didn't look like these people, but instead helped beside him: "Madam, don't worry, if you speak, our master will not dare to slack off!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the heads of those eunuchs and palace maids hung lower, and several of their chins were clubbed into their chests.

Qiu Chen's gaze paused, and he sighed secretly in his heart. The expression on his face was as calm as ever, and he didn't seem to see the change in the expression on Yang Jingyong's face at all, and directly urged: "Hurry up, it's not too early, you can't delay it." ”

Therefore, in this pair of heavenly fathers and sons, who are extremely difficult to see family affection, it makes people see some father-son affection! With some of the old emperor's actions, it is normal for Yang Jingyong's son to show some sadness and grief at this time.

Although there is no father and son in the heavenly family, Emperor Jingshun of Daxing is really good to Yang Jingyong's son, and before he died, he paved the way for him one by one, and dealt with the two sons with the highest call for ascending the throne and the most powerful in the court, one was demoted to a concubine, and the other was designed to 'rebel'...... If Qiu Chen guessed correctly, even if King Cheng was not dead, he would definitely never appear again and disappear from the public eye forever.

Qiu Chen and Yang Jingyong didn't know what these people thought, Yang Jingyong put down the brush, and did not hesitate, he stood up very obediently, and habitually reached out to pull the hem of the robe, but he was empty - he was wearing a filial piety dress today, using the coarsest linen cloth, raw edges, but there are also hems, but the linen cloth is easy to wrinkle, at this time he sat for a long time, the small half of the filial piety clothes has been wrinkled to the waist and abdomen, and his action of tidying up the placket naturally failed. After the action failed, Yang Jingyong's face was also darkened, and the sadness and heaviness on his body seemed to be aggravated.

Although the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting in the room still hung their heads and stood silently without seeing any changes, their eyes were all flashing with incredulity and slight horror at this time. This woman has no brains, shouting at the emperor and pointing fingers, is this death? Also, it's okay for this woman to die by herself, but don't anger the emperor and burden them who serve in front of the emperor. Subconsciously, these people tried their best to shrink their bodies back, and even breathed a lot lighter, just hoping to reduce their sense of existence as much as possible, in case the emperor was angry, don't be angry with them.

This can be said very bluntly, and it is also very polite, almost in the tone of command and command. Not to mention that now Yang Jingyong is the new monarch who is about to ascend the throne, even if he is the prince before, few people dare to talk to him like this.

Qiu Chen didn't care, and waved his hand generously: "Okay, I'm not such a twisted person, since I said this, I'm not afraid to take the lead with you." Come, hurry over to dinner, it won't be time again. In the afternoon, you have to preside over mourning, mourning, and crying, and you can't stand it if you don't eat enough. ”

In the past few days, Yang Jingyong has been really tired, but he still noticed the sneaky appearance just now, and when he heard Qiu Chen's words, he immediately shook his head with tears and laughter, put down the brush in his hand, got up and said: "Sister, this is the fault of the little brother, the little brother is just concentrating on dealing with the fold, and he didn't notice this." ”

However, she didn't pay attention to the matching and processing of the dishes today, but just swept it over to make sure that there was no meat, so she turned her eyes back to greet Yang Jingyong: "The dishes are up, you don't greet the host, this is not going to let me be a guest meal!" ”

Qiu Chen glanced at it, and saw that the cups, plates and dishes on the couch were exquisite, and the dishes inside were also fancy and beautiful, and the handiwork was exquisite.

After the confession, the little attendants entered the Heart Cultivation Hall with food plates and food boxes, and sent a few delicate but not cumbersome dishes to them, and then they withdrew.

An Lu actually knew these things in his heart, but in order to show his attention, he still ran to the imperial dining room in person, and soon, but after a cup of tea, he personally led four or five little eunuchs to turn back with various food plates and boxes. This time, the meal he brought back was not named as the emperor's meal, yes, the dishes were not much, but six dishes, one soup, one porridge and two noodles as the staple food.

The imperial dining room has already prepared dishes, and Qiu Chen is not allowed to instruct, these days, the emperor of Daxing has mourned and mourned, and the imperial dining room is very strange, and he has already thoroughly investigated and arranged it, not only the ingredients of the big meat and oil have been discarded, but also the utensils of the knife case that have been stained with meat before have been replaced clean. It can be said that at this time, it is impossible for you to find a big oil flower for the dishes that come out of the imperial dining room, let alone meat and fishy things, and they will definitely not be delivered.

An's eyes lit up, and without waiting for the joy, he hurriedly restrained his expression, obediently lowered his hand, hurriedly glanced at Yang Jingyong's side, withdrew, and personally stared at the imperial dining room to serve the food.

People who keep filial piety should not be greasy with meat, should not drink for pleasure, since Yang Jingyong has been unable to eat since his father's great trip, it means that he is sad and unbearable in his heart, and he can't eat. Since Qiu Chen plans to persuade him to take care of his body, he must first pay attention to the food, if he gets a table of big fish and meat at this time, and then she persuades Yang Jingyong to eat, it will be uncomfortable.

Qiu Chen didn't agree, nor did he refuse, but just whispered to An Xin: "I'm sorry for you to go and watch some of them, and ask for a few vegetarian dishes." ”

Of course, these are not the most important things for Qiu Chen, the most important thing is that Yang Jingyong is not only an emperor in Qiu Chen's mind, but also her best friend for many years, and a younger brother who has a deep relationship with her. Even if she didn't have that emperor status, she would feel distressed when she heard that he didn't eat.

Just like the mark on the emperor's clothes, the person who is the emperor is the one who shoulders the thousands of people in the world. Yang Jingyong is now the most important filial son, mourning and crying every day, and he has to take time out to take care of various affairs and government affairs in the palace, the capital and even the whole country, it can be said that he is the most tired and nowhere to blame. Of course, his preservation is related to the peace of the court and the peace of the world, and there is absolutely no room for failure, so how can he not eat well, and not try to rest and maintain his body?

In ancient times, filial piety was highly respected, and some people would express their nostalgia and filial piety to their relatives by fasting, vegetarianism, being sent to stomp feet, and living in a house because of the death of their parents. But Yang Jingyong is not an ordinary person, he is the new monarch who is about to ascend the throne, and in the gap between the days of mourning, he has to take time to review and deal with state affairs, which shows that he is busy and tired, and it can also be seen that he has a heavy burden.

An Yan agreed, glanced at the master in front of the desk quickly, retracted his gaze, and whispered to Qiu Chen: "Madam, our master has not eaten either...... From yesterday to now, the rice water has barely touched the teeth...... It's still a month, if it goes on like this, where can the body and bones stand it, madam, our master can listen to your words...... See if you can help persuade us to eat something! ”

He turned his eyes to look at Chengying and Hanguang again: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" I've cooked for me, and you can go to the outhouse to eat. ”

Turning around, Yang Jingyong was still sitting at the desk, Qiu Chen blinked, shook his head secretly, turned his gaze back, and said to An Rong: "Let someone bring my lunch!" ”

However, after a cup of tea, Qiu Chen had already cleaned up neatly.

Because of her mourning and filial piety, she didn't need complicated hair ornaments and hairpin rings, and the simple round bun was saved with a boxwood hairpin, which was an old thing in the previous dynasty, and only used a little emollient oil, and did not apply fat powder.

Qiu Chen didn't squirm, he sat on the couch generously, turned sideways, and combed her hair by Chengying.

An Chen was very eye-catching, and as soon as he saw Qiu Chen get up, he immediately commanded two teams of palace maids to come in with washbasins, soaps, towels and other toiletries to serve.

The Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Yang Jingyong was the territory when he was still the prince, as An Lu said, although he was relieved in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart. Qiu Chen believed this before, and at this point, she understood that she was wrong, in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Yang Jingyong could indeed rest assured, but she was not.

Although she planned to investigate the guilt of Chengying and Hanguang, Qiu Chen herself secretly learned a strange thing, and in the future, she should not trust others lightly. Don't be too relaxed on someone else's turf.

No matter how loyal Chengying and Hanguang are, in the face of the highest existence in this world, the Ninety-Five Honorable who can live and kill and take away, and the exit is Chrysostom Yuyan, they should subconsciously obey, and they can't disobey at all. The difference between the identities of the two sides is not endless, and how can Qiu Chen blame him?

Qiu Chen shook his head anxiously, signaling that she didn't blame the two girls.

She didn't dare to say anything, she only apologized to Qiu Chen with her eyes...... After all, they were guarding their wife, but they let Yang Jingyong in, no matter how they said it, they were also suspected of dereliction of duty.

Chengying had already rushed to the front at this time, knelt down and put on Qiu Chen's shoes.

Shaking his head slightly, Qiu Chen simply got off the wooden couch.

In the morning, she was a little late, so many elders arrived, and she was left last. It's okay to be a little late at a time, and if you fall behind again and again, you will inevitably be criticized. Nowadays, Emperor Daxing is always late for filial piety, and if he is accused of disrespect and filial piety by someone with a heart, it will be too wronged.

Qiu Chen had already seen the grandfather clock on the high table in the corner of the room, and knew that he had slept for two quarters of an hour, and it was enough to rest as a nap. Instead of sleeping for another quarter of an hour, it is better to get up and move your hands, feet and body, have lunch, and leave more time to go to Qingning Palace.

Hearing this, Yang Jingyong's eyes flashed with a flash of pleasure, and then he frowned and made a bitter face, pointed to the fold on the table and said, "These things are in a hurry to dispose of, and there is no room for delay...... Don't talk about me, why did my sister wake up like this? It's still early, and it's never too late to sleep for another quarter of an hour! ”

Her brows were still slightly furrowed, her eyes looked at Yang Jingyong sternly, and she spoke, but the words she said no longer meant to blame: "You...... Why don't you take a break? ”

Such Yang Jingyong inexplicably touched the motherhood in Qiu Chen's heart, and involuntarily gave birth to a sense of tolerance and tolerance.

Yang Jingyong's appearance is undoubtedly outstanding, his appearance is different from Liao Wenqing's handsomeness, different from Qin Zheng's deep facial features with perfect proportions, his appearance tends to be beautiful and handsome, the world's highest and most noble origin, and he has a kind of Tsinghua nobility in his bones, he has arrogance, but no arrogance, especially Yang Jingyong in front of him, looking tired, with a slight redness and swelling in his eyes, and a coarse linen filial piety robe, he was stumped on his feet...... Although he saw her expression instantly lightened, he still couldn't ignore the sadness and exhaustion that emanated from his body......

In front of Qiu Chen, Yang Jingyong has always had no prince's shelf, even if he has succeeded to the throne and is about to reach the top of the throne, he has also not brought out the power of the superior, he is as usual in front of her, he is an unguarded big boy, he is also naughty and coquettish, but he is not the slightest guard against alienating all kinds of negative things, Qiu Chen himself did not find that in the face of Yang Jingyong, she has scolded, reprimanded, counted, and squeezed, but at this moment, she can't scold, and she can't bear to count down.

originally wanted to denounce a few words, at least to express her attitude, Yang Jingyong's sister, and her expression of instant relaxation and joy when she saw her, at this moment, shattered the anger in her heart, and even eliminated a lot.

Although Qiu Chen gave the new emperor who was about to ascend the throne enough deferential respect in front of outsiders, she still had her own persistence and stubbornness after she arrived. A big man, while she was sleeping, ran to her bedroom, even the emperor was at a loss, and she was equally angry and angry.

Just when he woke up and saw Yang Jingyong, Qiu Chen was a little annoyed.

This sister's call is solid, as if she has been used to calling since she was a child, and she can't tell that the two are sisters and brothers who were jokingly recognized later, but as if the two are really blood brothers and sisters!

The tightly wrung brows suddenly loosened, and the anger on his face dissipated instantly, in addition to exhaustion, the whole expression on Yang Jingyong's face became brisk and gentle, and even, wearing a decrepit filial piety robe, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth that flashed, and he called out in a brisk tone: "Sister!" ”

When Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, Yang Jingyong over there seemed to be keenly aware of something and raised his head to look over.

A woman wakes up from sleep and finds that there is one more person in the room, a man, a man who is not in an intimate relationship, even in modern times.

In the quiet room, Chengying and Hanguang were indeed there, but they were both standing far away at the door. And before she felt in a daze that she was sitting near her, dressed in coarse linen and decrepit filial piety clothes, her face was tired, and her brows were frowning, it was none other than Yang Jingyong, the new emperor who had not yet ascended the throne. At this time, Yang Jingyong was sitting behind the desk opposite the wooden couch, with a pile of folds in front of him, holding a red pen in his hand, and he was frowning and reading, looking at his expression, it seemed that the content of the folds made him a little annoyed.

"Chengying, what time is it?" Qiu Chen, who opened her eyes, asked lazily in a low voice, while sitting up with her arms propped up, and as soon as she turned around, she was stunned.

This time is no exception, the funeral of the emperor of Daxing, no matter how many people's sorrow is sincere, but the etiquette system cannot be ambiguous and slack. Qiu Chen's heart tensed, and she naturally regained her good habit of being punctual, and when there was a difference of two quarters of an hour and a minute, she opened her eyes without waiting for the girls to wake up.

Once rigorous to the point of being strict with her work attitude, Qiu Chen has a strong biological clock and a very accurate sense of time, whether it is sleeping or working, she can complete it on time, and its accuracy is almost comparable to that of a clock.

was very tired, Qiu Chen almost fell asleep in a daze as soon as he finished speaking.

In any case, she will continue to kneel and cry in the afternoon, and the day after tomorrow, there will be at least two days to enter the palace to mourn and mourn, and she will ensure that on the basis of rest, she must also try her best to eat well in order to have a body to support it.

Lunch time was an hour, and she had to go back and forth for two quarters of an hour, rest for two quarters of an hour, play two quarters of an hour of maneuvering time, and she still had two quarters of an hour to eat.

"I'll rest for a while, and call me in two quarters of an hour." Qiu Chen commanded, turned to lie down on his side, and closed his eyes at the same time.

Qiu Chen, who was tired and his legs were sore, swollen and painful, was also overjoyed when he saw this Luohan couch, and immediately went to his shoes and went to the couch by the girl, and rested crookedly against the big pillow.

Qiu Chen's master and servant returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and immediately someone sent toiletries up, Chengying and Hanguang waited for her to freshen up, and a palace maid led Qiu Chen into the Dongnuan Pavilion. Before, it was still a study room to spread out the Dongnuan Pavilion, but in the morning, a row of Taishi chairs near the window was removed, and replaced with a rosewood cloud dragon pattern carved cloud head circumference Arhat couch.

There were no outsiders in the Yangxin Palace at this time, only a few little eunuchs and palace maids on duty, respectfully and quietly, and there was almost no sense of zài.

Walking out of the gate of Qingning Palace, Chengying and Hanguang, who were waiting here, immediately greeted them, and one by one took over Wanxiu to support Qiu Chen, and the three masters and servants thanked Wanxiu and said goodbye, all the way back to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Qiu Chen lowered her eyes and stood silently, and when Yang Jingyong led people into the East Side Hall, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and continued to walk out, her pace unconsciously speeding up a lot.

Yang Jingyong glanced at Qiu Chen a little helplessly, whispered something to Wanxiu, and then crossed Qiu Chen and hurriedly entered the east side hall. There is a resting place for the eldest princess of Changle and several older wives, and Yang Jingyong should be a junior and a new emperor to visit the elderly. To put it bluntly, it is the new official who takes office to buy people's hearts!

The etiquette of the line passed, Qiu Chen took a step back to the side, which meant to make way for Yang Jingyong, let the new emperor do what he should do, don't spend time with her here, she still wanted to go to the Palace of Nourishing Heart to lie down and rest for a while, and then let Chengying and Hanguang give their legs and knees a good massage.

"Emperor Xie!" Qiu Chen saluted again and thanked him, and then got up.

"Alas, that's it!" Yang Jingyong pursed his lips and looked at Qiu Chen for a moment, then sighed and responded.

Qiu Chen's heart jumped, he resisted the urge to stare at him, secretly swallowed the bitter anger that was surging up, tried to calm his expression, still maintained a bent knee posture, and said respectfully: "The emperor is long, and the concubines are full of admiration. But the ceremony is not costly, and the concubine implores the emperor to take back his fate! ”

After a slight pause, Yang Jingyong took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to support Qiu Chen, and said in a gentle voice: "Sister doesn't have to give such a big gift, and in the future, my sister doesn't have to bow in front of anyone!" ”

Yang Jingyong stepped into the courtyard of Qingning Palace, and what he saw at a glance was Qiu Chen, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, this joy floated to his eyes, but it did not change his facial expression. Moreover, before this joy could emerge, it was interrupted by Qiu Chen's solemn and solemn salute, and then gradually subsided and disappeared.

The person who came was none other than the new emperor who had just won the throne and had not yet ascended the throne, the original Prince of Yong, Yang Jingyong!

Qiu Chen stopped with a slight surprise, looked at the visitor for a moment, and then bowed respectfully: "The concubine has seen the emperor!" ”

As soon as he walked out of the main hall, he suddenly turned into a few people from the gate, the first one, wearing a plain coarse linen and filial piety clothes, with a thin body and haggard cheeks, but between the actions, there was a feeling of being full of ambition and reward, just like a sword hidden in the box, out of the box, and the edge loomed.

Sighing secretly, Qiu Chen's footsteps did not stop. Although she lamented that people take a rest, she is also tired, and she also wants to find a place to rest and rest. Yes, she inevitably sighed, how much real sadness is there in this seemingly grand funeral?

When Qiu Chen walked out, almost all the inside and outside of the hall were gone, and the empty mourning hall looked extremely empty. Only the incense candles in front of the spirit are still burning, setting off the gold medal with the name of the Emperor Daxing, which is extremely sad and desolate.

The morning of weeping and mourning made these pampered princesses, county lords, and ladies extremely tired and tired to the extreme, so as soon as they got permission to rest, they immediately left the mourning hall and went to rest in their own good places.

As she spoke, Qiu Chen's knees also recovered a little, and Wanxiu helped her out of the main hall.

The corners of Qiu Chen's mouth hooked slightly, and then he regained his solemn expression, just looking at Wanxiu's eyes soft, warm and bright, without the previous tiredness and trance: "I know, Mama." ”

Although Qiu Chen is not familiar with Wanxiu, as Yang Jingyong's confidant and mother, the person her master cares about, she naturally spent a lot of effort to inquire and understand, yes, she knows Qiu Chen's temper very well, as soon as she heard Qiu Chen's words, she knew that Qiu Chen was not vain to entertain, but sincerely refused, yes and did not disobey, only nodded and said: "The county lord does not have to be polite to the slave and maid." Don't be careless about the county lord, no matter how rare the jade skin cream is, it is not as important as the county lord's health! ”

Yes, before Wanxiu's words fell, she shook her head lightly and refused: "No need, thank you grandma!" ”

Qiu Chen didn't know, it was just a sentence, but it made several princesses think so much, she just felt that her situation was not strict, she went home at night to bubble in a medicated bath, and used medicine to apply a hot compress, at most, plus acupuncture and massage, it can completely remove the cold during the day, and it will also restore the blocked blood veins, so as not to leave any hidden dangers. As for the jade skin cream, it was too expensive, and it was effective to apply it to her knees, but it was too wasteful.

This woman is not ordinary! The princesses thought so.

There is only one person who can get the jade skin cream and reward people, even the queen does not have this right. And how can the person who can make Wanxiu take out the 'Jade Skin Balm' without hesitation, how can she be a woman who only relies on her husband's merits?

This woman, Jiao Fu remarried, became the wife of the Marquis of Jingbei, not to mention, but also won the favor of the Emperor Daxing, unexpectedly awarded the title of 'Lord of Anning', Emperor Jingshun died, many people believe that the Marquis of Jingbei and the new emperor are close, this woman was able to enter the hall, yes, just a few extremely proud royal princesses saw Qiu Chen come in, although they did not approve, but no one really cared. But at this moment, when they heard Wanxiu's words, they were greatly shocked.

Wanxiu said this in a low voice, but because the princesses next to her were also incapacitated, they didn't walk away, and they still vaguely heard the words 'jade skin cream', and several young and unfavored princesses couldn't help but show surprise on their faces, and turned their eyes back to look at this legendary lady of Jingbei Houfu, that is, the woman who was awarded the title of the lord of Anning by Emperor Daxing.

Jade skin ointment is a great internal secret medicine, not only for external injuries, bruising has a miraculous effect, but also for trauma, burns and other scars also have a miraculous calming effect. It's just that because the medicinal materials used in the prescription are too rare, even if it is the most noble royal in the world, it is extremely difficult to gather the power of a country to gather the needs of a prescription, so this jade skin cream is precious, even if it is the concubines in the palace, most of them have only heard of it, but they are not blessed to have this secret medicine.

Wanxiu came to her side at some point, stretched out her hand to help her get up slowly, and said in a low voice: "The county lord has been kneeling for a long time...... The slave and maid prepared a jade skin cream, and it would be better to push it for the county lord. ”

After the salute, the crowd stopped crying and got up with their knees while wiping their eyes. Qiu Chen also woke up from that trance, reliving the memories of death, which made her extremely sad at the same time, but also consumed a lot of her mental and mental energy, at this time, she wanted to get up, it was a little difficult, her body was sore, her knees that had been kneeling for a long time were stiff and almost unconscious, only the sharp stinging pain up and down her knees reminded her that kneeling a few times, her legs must fall into the root of the disease.

In the morning, after several mourning and mourning, there is a short break at noon, and everyone can temporarily leave the mourning hall and go to the side hall to rest and eat.

Since she decided to let go of the past and start over, the memory of her past life is still there, but the unforgettable feeling of facing death was suppressed by her in her heart, and she no longer remembered it for a long time...... The deep sadness, helplessness, and reluctance to give up on life made her burst into tears unconsciously.

Yes, that kind of attachment to life and all kinds of nostalgia for life have always been deeply engraved in Qiu Chen's heart, when she first woke up in this world, in a trance, when she couldn't believe it, this feeling still lingered in her heart, making her a little confused from time to time, and she couldn't tell whether she was alive or dead. Later, it was this attachment to life that gave her the courage to put aside all the shackles of her previous life, and strive to survive in this world, and live better and better day by day.

After all, she is a person who has lived for two lives, and when it comes to this kind of life and death separation, I am afraid that no one can feel it more deeply than her. That kind of fear before death, as well as all kinds of unwillingness, fear, and in the end, when death really comes, these fierce feelings are gone, only the attachment to life and infinite nostalgia.

Qiu Chen lowered her eyes and looked solemn, but the education she had received in two lifetimes made her really unable to cry like others. It's just that in this piece of crying and earth-shattering, she also feels a kind of sadness and sadness of impermanence in life and death.

However, the ceremonies of mourning and mourning are all optimistic about the time and direction, and no one dares to do anything at this time to affect the funeral ceremony of the Daxing Emperor. Including Qiu Chen himself, he inevitably had doubts in his heart, and he couldn't ask anything at this time, so he could only hang his eyes, gather his mind, and kneel down with the princesses and princesses in front of him, bow and worship, and according to the guidance of the celebrant officials, cry again and again, to mourn the passing Emperor Jingshun.

To her surprise, Wanxiu did not lead her to several county lords, but instead led her to the princess's rank, although the princess's position in this row happened to be empty, although this rank belonged to the bottom of the princess ranks, but it also made many people look sideways.

Qiu Chen secretly sighed and shook his head, nodded to Tang Lanzhi from afar to say hello, and just as she began to mourn and keep filial piety, she immediately restrained her expression, half-lowered her eyes, and sent her to her place with Mama Wanxiu.

There are already a lot of people in the hall, most of them are known to Qiu Chen, and the princesses and county lords are naturally headed by the eldest princess of Changle, from white-haired old women to young girls; On the daughter-in-law's side, only Princess Fu Tang Lanzhi stood in front with two side concubines...... Emperor Jingshun does not have many sons, but he also has five sons, who would have thought that in the end, there was only one daughter-in-law left in front of the spirit!

These words reminded her to be cautious, but they were kind. Qiu Chen hurriedly bowed his head, turned his face to confess to the ladies and elders, and followed Wanxiu all the way to the main hall of Qingning Palace.

Qiu Chen shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't understand either. Mrs. Li blinked, nodded, and said, "The palace ...... Well, it is your blessing to be able to enter the temple to mourn, and you have to be doubly respectful. ”

Li Shi was obviously stunned for a moment, then turned his eyes and stared straight at Qiu Chen, asking with a blank expression.

Qiu Chen couldn't tell her that he had come early, so he didn't go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to rest, so he could only lower his eyes and respond, and he didn't explain. Wanxiu whispered on the side: "Duchess of Liang Guo, the position of the county lord is in the palace, and the slave maid has to lead the county lord in." ”

"I sent someone to call you a long time ago, why did you come at this time?" Mrs. Li lowered her voice and asked in Qiu Chen's ear.

Qiu Chen walked over, first bowed to Mrs. Tang, then met Mrs. Li, and then bent his knees to meet the elders.

The wife on the outer edge, Qiu Chen just looked familiar, some people signaled to her, she responded slightly, and walked all the way to the front of the main hall, she saw the Duchess of Liang Guo, the old lady of the Tang family, the Niu family of Zheng Shangshufu, the Duchess of Zhao Guo, and other familiar ladies, all gathered in one place, but they all looked solemn, and no one chatted and spoke.

Qiu Chen figured it out, and there was a shape in front of her that could not be refused, so she was as good as a stream, lowered her eyes, restrained her face, and followed Wanxiu to the main hall in a proper manner.

The woman in front of her is the powerful grandmother who came out of the Yongwang Mansion, and she is the confidant of the new emperor, she said this, naturally she has something, and what she holds is the attitude and instructions of the new emperor. Qiu Chen also somewhat understood, the words 'county lord' accentuated the tone of the sentence just now. Since she has been crowned the county lord, she is barely a clan girl, and she is arranged to mourn and guard filial piety in the main hall, but it is reasonable.

A flash of appreciation flashed in Wanxiu's eyes, and she didn't explain, but she also lowered her voice and said, "County Lord, don't worry!" ”

She talks about the status of a wife and a husband Rong as a super marquis, but after all, she belongs to the rank of a foreign wife. According to her understanding, the position of today's mourning and mourning, in addition to the grade, there is also a difference between relatives and relatives, generally the daughters and daughters-in-law of the clan are eligible to enter the main hall, as for the foreign women, regardless of the rank, they can only mourn and cry outside the main hall. That's why Qiu Chen asked. It can be said that the emperor's funeral is the time when the etiquette system is the most important, and there can be no negligence or omission. The unlucky Prince Cheng Yinzhi of the Qing Dynasty was just because he shaved his head less than 100 days after the death of Concubine Min, so he was cut off and demoted to Baylor.

"I don't know much about this, so please give me some advice...... It doesn't seem to be compliant when I enter the main hall, right? Qiu Chen asked in a low voice.

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a hint of surprise, his eyes turned slightly, and he saw that all the ladies were far away, and the nearest one was five or six steps away, this distance, whispering was not to be heard.

Wanxiu also knew the opportunity, and immediately bent her knees and said: "The position of the county lord is in the main hall, please come with the slave!" ”

"Mama." Qiu Chen didn't say much, only bowed his head slightly. This is not the occasion for renewal.

Qiu Chen suddenly turned out to be Yang Jingyong's person. She also remembered that she had seen this person in front of Princess Yong, and she thought that she was Princess Yong's concubine, but now looking at this situation, it should be Yang Jingyong's henchman who was placed next to Princess Yong to help.

"Slave Wanxiu, she is a person from King Yong's mansion!" As if seeing Qiu Chen's scrutiny, Wanxiu immediately introduced herself.

"County Lord!" A person in the crowd walked a few steps to meet him, Qiu Chen raised his eyes, but it was a middle-aged grandmother in her forties, who looked a little familiar and seemed to have seen it.

At this time, it was not suitable to look around, Qiu Chen just glanced at it, then lowered his head slightly, lowered his eyebrows, and walked over upright.

In early spring, it is cold in the morning and evening, but the temperature rises very quickly at noon, and the temperature difference can sometimes reach more than ten degrees. Before coming, Qiu Chen didn't expect Yang Jingyong to arrange a special place to rest, just thinking that there was nowhere to change her clothes when it was hot at noon, and she didn't dare to wear too thick, just put on a thin silk jacket and pants, tied a white plain pleated skirt, and put on a black plain cocoon silk straight jacket. If you don't have the sand you are wearing, you will be very shivering when you stand in this cold morning breeze.

It's just that the people who buy Kanlisha are all for treatment, but there are no people like Qiu Chen who are just for warmth and cold.

Seeing the shivering appearance of many noble ladies over there, Qiu Chen subconsciously pressed the homemade warm treasure used on his waist and legs - in ancient Chinese medicine, there was a treatment method of 'wrought iron powder and medicinal materials for moxibustion', which is similar to the highly popular 'warm treasure sticker' in modern times. Qiu Chen also remembered this thing when she was packing up for Afu Aman a few years ago, and after investigation, this era had not yet appeared, so a new type of ironing preparation 'Kan Lisha' was added to her 'Renhetang'. It is used to dispel wind and cold, invigorate blood and relieve pain, the effect is very fast, and because of the low cost, it can also be reused, so once this thing was launched, it was quickly recognized by the market and sold very well.

Under a plain linen filial piety robe, a snow-white small stand-up collar placket, a pipa-shaped buckle of the same color and homogeneity, a circle of indigo pigment skirt is exposed under the filial piety robe, and the thick-soled soft shoes with black face and white soles are faintly exposed under the skirt...... Up and down the whole body, only a wood-colored round-headed hairpin is used to fix the hair bun between the buns, and the rest of the earrings, hairpins and other jewelry are gone, lined with porcelain white skin, black eyes, black crow hair, and slender but straight figure, it is a unique bamboo chrysanthemum-like elegant and beautiful style.

Qiu Chen wore a cloak when he entered the palace, and at this time, he came to mourn and guard his filial piety, and it was disrespectful to wear a cloak, so he took it off just outside the gate of Qingning Palace and handed it to Chengying to hold. A foreign woman of more than one grade can bring a maid (grandmother) when she enters the palace, and because An Lu followed, this time Qiu Chen entered the palace and brought two people in. It's just that the two girls can only send Qiu Chen to the gate of Qingning Palace, Qingning Palace is mourning and filial piety for Emperor Daxing today, there are many people, the etiquette system is strict, and the maids are absolutely not allowed to come in.
