Chapter 566
Zilan reminded that Cui Hao really took it seriously and took a loophole to go to the farm to find the old man and secretly discussed the matter.
In the end, the old man's judgment is very likely to go to the mountainous areas to fight, so it is right to take precautions in advance.
But I can't rely solely on Zilan. The old man asked Cui Hao to buy medicinal materials from the mountainous high-altitude areas in batches and batches to buy medicinal materials for reserve. Just in case, if it really doesn't work, it can be sold again. The storage time of medicinal materials can be much longer than that of grain.
Zilan had some cotton seeds before, including some kapok seeds. This time she planned to plant them all. There is no news of war at present, so she can take care of them slowly and is not in a hurry.
Let’s go find some seeds and seedlings needed for healing medicine, plant some, and store some regularly. The warehouse is very large and very safe.
Then I slowly found some armor suitable for mountain combat, and then planted cotton and asked people to make cotton clothes and cotton shoes. This must be included.
Even if you don’t prepare too much for war, it’s okay. You can use it all when you send it back to charity, which is okay.
If there are too many medicinal materials, you can send them to the cold northwest areas for soldiers in batches, and there will be no waste at all.
She planned to plant less food and brew some soju. One was used to disinfect and heal the injured patients, and the other was to keep warm. Drinks were indispensable in the army.
All aspects of preparation should be prepared slowly as long as you can think of.
When you are tired, you can immerse your consciousness in the space to sleep. Now there is nothing big at home. Most of the time, you just eat, sleep and eat. This little work is nothing at all, but you feel that you don’t have to do something so boring.
Now I have picked up the school work, mainly because I am too idle.
There are still some young girls who teach in school. Every day Zilan teaches them an hour of classes, including the housekeeper, illustrations and dressing up tea art, and when you think about it, you will tell them all.
Now the girls respect her very much and know that she cannot be tired when she is pregnant. Every day when she goes to school, she will put a pot of warm water there in advance and put a soft cushion on her seat, making it soft.
Every afternoon, I have nothing to do and can draw, read, play the piano. The time is well arranged and I am not tired at all.
Cui Hao felt relieved when he saw that she was really not working so hard. He would ask Doctor Lin to come to her home to take her pulse regularly, and arranged for the doctor to live at home early in case.
And I had contacted the Wenpo and gave a deposit in advance and agreed to be on call.
I also started to prepare for the delivery room. I felt more at ease when I was doing it in advance and I had to arrange for someone to move in in advance. Otherwise, the empty house would be unpopular and the room would be extremely cold and not good for pregnant women.
Although Zilan thought it was a bit too early to prepare, due to Cui Hao's enthusiasm, he didn't say anything. Those who are fathers are willing to work hard for their children, so let him do it. The relationship between children who have been looking forward to for a long time is different.
The days of baby care are particularly comfortable and comfortable. I feel a little cold when I wake up this morning. When I get up, I feel surprised. It’s snowing outside, and now there are still large twigs of snowflakes floating.
"It's snowing."
"Not it? The snow fell in the middle of the night last night and has not stopped until now, but it has been getting heavier and heavier. The next year should be a good harvest year."
"Hope, right? Is it because the people in the mansion have all gone to the house to send porridge and cotton coats?"
"Don't worry, grandma, I've been working hard when it was cold a few days ago. I've been out a long time ago."
Chenxiang stomped her feet before entering the door, rubbing her shoes on the mat at the door.
Zilan pondered for a moment, "In this way, go to the warehouse to get some medicinal materials, make some bone soup, and ask the doctor, medicinal materials such as wind prevention and cold prevention, and add bone soup to a large pot, so that people can move to the place where the porridge is stored.
I gave the poor elderly and children a bowl of poor people. The old men and servants who were giving the porridge were also working hard, and I gave an extra tael of silver to the monthly silver reward every month.
In addition, the soup is a little thicker, so don’t be too light. The servants can drink a bowl when they are cold.”
"Yes, I'll explain to the kitchen now."
"Well, let the doctor sit for a while every day. I will give you more medical fees and prescribe medicines for those poor people who cannot afford to treat the disease. The medicine list goes from me, so I don't worry about the medicinal materials at home."
"Okay, I'll go and clean up the warehouse now."
Chenxiang responded and went to do it quickly.
After a while, Jiang asked someone to come over to pass the message, "It's hard for grandma to pay money alone. Our second wife said that since it is in the name of Cui's family, we should leave the public account, so that it will be fair.
All the fees and silver rewards are all gone to the public account, so please don’t refuse.”
Zi Lan thought for a moment. If she didn't agree, it would make people think that the second aunt deliberately took advantage of the younger generation, and it wouldn't sound nice to say it.
"I'm still thinking about it carefully. I think less and I love me, so I just follow my arrangements.
If you ask them to switch shifts, otherwise they will be very cold and easily sick all the time. Another thing is that if you have a silver reward, you will be a good life. I don’t care about this anymore. Everyone should take turns."
"Okay, listen to grandma."
The nanny went back to report, and soon Jiang arranged it. Zilan said that she would pay for the guard's money, but Jiang did not refute this time.
The guards were divided into two shifts to guard, mainly because they were afraid of people being noisy or stampede accidents. The slaves and the mothers couldn't handle it and needed to take care of them.
The doctor is also willing to take pulses to the poor. He is originally a folk doctor, not as noble as an imperial physician, and has a deeper understanding of the sufferings of the people.
The Cui family was willing to come forward to produce medicinal materials, and the doctor had no choice but to resolutely quit the excess medical expenses and took the initiative to go to the free medical consultation.
The old man came back in the carriage, and Zilan hurried to the second gate to greet him. Jiang arrived early, and Cui Yong and Li were accompanying him.
The couple lived in the village for more than half a month. Li's complexion improved significantly, and there was a smile on his face, and his sorrow dissipated a lot. He looked so energetic.
"Grandfather, why are you back early? My elder brother and sister-in-law are going well on the way."
"Everything is fine. My grandmother is still conditioning her body at the farm, so she didn't let her come back.
My grandfather said that he would come back to see it after it snowed. He was worried that heavy snow would collapse the house, so he planned to go to the palace and ask someone to organize and mobilize everyone to sweep the snow."
"Oh, hurry in and don't freeze."
"It doesn't matter, I'm not cold at all."
As soon as winter began, Zi Lan made anti-freezing clothes for the two elders. She was carefully crafted from the inside to the outside because she was afraid that the elderly would get cold.
"Have you done the second family's job of giving porridge and cotton coats? Let the doctor go to free medical treatment and the medicinal materials are released in our family. This year, there are so heavy snow, I am afraid that many people will be homeless."
"It's done, and I started doing it a month in advance. Lan'er sent a guard to watch it. I thought that the remaining food was probably not enough. Jing'an Temple also took in many poor people."
"Grandfather, I still have endless food to eat, there are so many in the village."
Zi Lan quickly spoke.
Cui Rong's eyes showed confusion. There was no food there. I didn't hear the manager mention it, but he didn't say anything.
He lived in the village for more than half a month, helped Zilan go to see everywhere, and beat the manager to see that they all had brewed wine, as if there was nothing extra.
"Oh, it's yours, you're at the imperial village. Don't worry, just turn around and ask Brother Hao to do this."
Old Master Cui turned his face and looked at Zilan, with a deep look and a slightly serious expression.
Zi Lan lowered her head and dared not say anything, and she almost exposed her feelings.
