Chapter 586: The pharmacy catches fire
Rong Xi has recruited a large number of people these days to make insect repellent sacs for the soldiers in front of them, and she also gave a person to make a batch of boots, which were designed by her own hands.
I have to say that Rong Xi really has some talent in pharmacology, and these methods she came up with, even Qin Niang couldn't help but nod her head in approval when she heard it.
For Rong Xi's side is full of energy, Shi Rong's side is much more limited.
After being driven out of the Gu house by Qin Niang, she returned to the Shi family and thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a better way than Rong Xi, someone gave her an idea, and asked her to draw a gourd in the same way to recruit some ordinary people to participate in these productions, and Rong Xi made military boots, they made cotton clothes, knee pads, and everything that could be used on the battlefield.
However, the idea could not be carried out in two days.
Because, some of the people who know how to do it immediately know that these things made by Shi Rong are not practical at all when they are put on the battlefield, and many of Shi Rong's ideas and designs are not practical, they are just some shows.
After all, now that the war is raging, which family does not have a son to be a soldier, everyone hopes that their son can use the most practical things on the front line and come back alive.
No one on Shi Rong's side is willing to come to work, and he is not willing to add money.
In the corner, Shi Rong looked at Rong Xi's busy appearance, his face was so gloomy that he was almost dripping.
"Miss, even if this Rongliu girl hasn't won yet, she seems to have won a lot of people's hearts with this trick." Shi Rong's personal maid stood beside her master, looking at Rong Xi who was busy in the distance with a resentful face.
"Let's go." Shi Rong clenched the handkerchief in his hand, his eyes quickly crossed a touch of yin, turned around and strode towards his own carriage at the other end.
Rong Xi temporarily set up a made tent in the east of the city, and the common people who came to work during the day gathered there, and it was not safe to be windy and rainy, and it was easy to manage it in one place.
Rong Xi's prescriptions and medicinal materials are not particularly valuable, even if they are sent to the border pass, the soldiers can mobilize the people in the city to concoct some for them, which is convenient and practical.
The number of medicine capsules that each person can make per day is set, so the dosage is also weighed in advance, and when the finished product is handed in, it is generally not bad, which also avoids the chance of business trips.
In addition to rushing to make these medicine sacs, there is also an extra place to make boots, and those materials are also collected by the Rong family and made on the spot, which is conducive to supervision, so as not to cut corners.
As the initiator of these activities, Rong Xi is naturally very dedicated and personally stares over there every day, for fear of making a mistake.
Besides, she didn't want to lose to Shi Rong, if anyone else competed with her, she probably didn't care so much about winning or losing, but the other party was Shi Rong who had always been on the wrong side with her.
"The queen only gave us ten days, and now it's more than half, and after this batch of medicine bags is made, the Rong Mansion will privately send you two more yuan, which can be regarded as a reward for everyone's hard work during this time." Rong Xi's personal maid stood beside her master, and looked around at the people and said loudly.
"Thank you, Miss Rongliu." The crowd shouted in unison.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what is going on in the east now, and I think everyone knows that although we are far away in the capital, if the border pass is defeated and the enemy army unites and drives straight in, then where will we stay in this prosperous capital and enjoy peace? Therefore, these things are going to be sent to the front line, and I hope you will be careful. ”
Rong Xi stood in the middle of the crowd, not minding the simplicity of the clothes worn by those ordinary people and the unique smell of being used to doing manual work, her eyes were clear and firm looking at them, and her attitude was extremely sincere and hot.
Everyone seemed to be inspired by her, and their hearts were also full of enthusiasm, and the work in their hands suddenly became more energetic.
"My girl knows that the weather is a little hot now, and it will be even hotter when everyone is bored here, so she specially ordered someone to boil porridge and invite everyone to drink together, and when you rest for a while, everyone will go over there to find the steward to receive it." Rong Xi's maidservant said, "It's just that seeing that the project is more than halfway through, I hope everyone will take a closer look, so as not to be exploited." ”
When she said this, she almost didn't say that someone couldn't see them well, and wanted to secretly make a stumbling block in their medicinal herbs.
These ordinary people are not stupid, although they live a simple life, but they have heard many versions of the battles in those families, and naturally they also understand the meaning of this maid's words.
Miss Rong Sixth and Miss Shi San set the rules to compete in front of the queen, and now they are going smoothly on their side, and everyone is happy, and the third girl Shi didn't hear the slightest movement.
It's hard to guarantee that she won't stumble on them.
These things have to be used on the front line, and if something goes wrong and the lives of thousands of soldiers are lost, more cities may be lost, so that the enemy army has the opportunity to further their capital.
Although ordinary people do not understand so many truths for officials and politicians, there is one thing they are clear, that is, without the soldiers in front, there will be no east of the country, and once the country is broken, they will not be able to talk about home.
No one wants to be a slave.
The competition between Shi Rong and Rong Xi can't be controlled, and the most she knows about the progress of the two of them is from Qiu Xue, who loves to inquire.
Since she had led the Emperor to test the cannon once, she had ten more made according to that standard.
She pondered, anyway, the size is small, and it is convenient to carry, so she will go back and send two to each of the major border gates, and they can keep two for themselves.
After Lu Zhiyang received the holy decree, he followed Qin Niang to the iron shop to help pack the weapons that were to be transported, and he would be able to leave Beijing in a few days.
Therefore, Qin Niang has been really busy these two days, if it weren't for the Gu family taking turns to take someone to take Ying'er out to play, she really wouldn't have time to take care of her.
After sending Lu Zhiyang out of the capital, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Miss, you said that the young master of the Lu family is about to leave the capital, why didn't Miss Nabu react at all?" Qiu Tao tilted her head and said with a puzzled expression.
It's not normal.
This is going to change the usual, Miss Bu has already rushed to the Lu family to ask for the explanation, where will it be as quiet as now.
"Don't be a crow's mouth, the more you talk about some people, the more she will make some moths for you, this cloth girl may still hold back her big moves." Qiu Xue pursed her lips and said with a sneer.
Qin Niang didn't care much about this woman, after all, the Qi family had been staring at her, and she couldn't make any big trouble.
It's just that Qin Niang didn't expect that after Lu Zhiyang sent him away, the Lu family was safe, but the Yang family jumped up again.
On this day, Qin Niang had just returned from the iron shop outside the city, and she saw a small servant in the Yang Mansion standing at the Yimen waiting anxiously.
As soon as she got out of the carriage, the little guy immediately rushed over: "Miss, you can be regarded as back, something happened to the Yang Mansion." ”
As soon as Qin Niang heard that something had happened to the Yang Mansion, her face immediately changed, and she chased after her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The little guy took a step forward and said anxiously: "I don't know what's going on, there are a lot of snakes in the house suddenly, the lady and the young lady have already fainted, and the old lady is also scared a lot, fortunately, the eldest prince was at home at the time and killed some, but there are still many people in the house who have been bitten by snakes, and now the house is in chaos." ”
Qin Niang was stunned and asked, "How can there be snakes in the capital?" ”
Moreover, although the weather is already warm at this time, it is not yet the season when snakes can come out and wander around.
Besides, there are no mountains or forests in the capital, where did the snake come from?
It is even more unlikely that there will be snakes in the Yang family's mansion, because the mansion has been repaired for hundreds of years, and the ancestors have done special treatment for the entire mansion when they were repairing, and there can be no snakes at all.
Even if there were, there could not be so many.
So, where did those snakes come from?
"Miss, let's go back and have a look." Qiu Tao saw that Qin Niang was stunned, and couldn't help but push her, "Let's see if the old lady has anything to do first, and then think about it later." ”
After her reminder like this, Qin Niang suddenly woke up, and hurriedly stepped into the carriage again and went to Yang's mansion.
Yang House.
When Qin Niang entered the mansion, the snakes in the mansion had probably been dealt with, but it was obviously too late to clean them, and blood stains could still be seen in some places.
Qiu Tao followed closely beside Qin Niang, looking at the puddles of blood on the ground, swallowing violently, imagining the picture of snakes everywhere, and her body couldn't help shaking.
"Miss, you're back, go to Madame's yard and take a look, Madame is afraid that she will be scared." As soon as Steward Yang saw her, he immediately greeted her and reported.
Qin Niang's steps on her feet suddenly quickened when she heard this, and she asked as she walked, "Did you invite someone to remove snakes from the house?" If not, it's best to send someone to ask someone to come over and deal with it all over the house, lest you sneak into these things next time. ”
Steward Yang nodded and said: "Please, the eldest prince ordered the old slave to invite someone to come as soon as possible, and now the house is clean, that is, the hostesses of the family are a little frightened, the master is still in the yamen, and the old slave has also ordered someone to deliver the letter, presumably he will be able to come back soon." ”
Qin Niang relieved her heart at this time, and walked quickly towards the Lu family's courtyard.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Lu's body half leaning on the bed softly, his face was so white that there was hardly a trace of blood, and the whole looked very dazed.
Qin Niang's heart tightened, and she hurriedly rushed in: "Mother, how are you?" ”
As soon as Lu Shi saw the woman, a flash of light appeared in her eyes, which were still a little dull, and she happily held Qin Niang's hand and called: "Qin'er~"
"What the hell is going on? Mother, how can there be snakes in the house? ”
