Chapter 787
: Many children and many blessings?
After reading the secret recipe for the father-in-law, he studied it carefully for a while, as if he had let go of the heavy stone in his heart.
From then on, he felt at ease to produce medicine for Xue Mei.
Xue Mei also paid him his wages on a daily basis as agreed and gave him once every ten days.
The Hu brothers often take care of their father-in-law.
Everyone doesn't know who he is, where he comes from, and what his surname is.
I don’t know how many secret recipes he has in his mind and who he plans to pass them on to in the future.
Other pharmaceutical masters are also busy working, and Xue Meitun’s raw medicine has become medicinal materials that can be bought and sold directly. After these medicinal materials have been fabricated, they are no longer afraid of rot.
Xue Mei sent all of them back to the capital and placed them in the warehouses of five shops.
As for the pharmacy, Xue Mei still plans to wait for the first day of the twelfth lunar month to open again. She wants to give the Gan family time to let them see how she is doing something.
There is still a long time before opening, and Xue Mei is a little free after she is free.
She was fine, so she married Xiuzhu's child at home. She also wanted to make the vein of Xiuzhu to see if it was her son or daughter, but Xiuzhu refused.
Xiuzhu: "I am happy not only with this baby, but also with my son and daughter."
Xue Mei: "How many fetuses are you planning to have?"
The ancients emphasized "more children and more blessings", and children are mostly symbols of prosperity.
"Four-children." Xiuzhu told Xue Mei.
Xue Mei: "..."
She pondered for a moment and said to Xiuzhu: "It's better to have two children. A woman's body cannot have endless children. One childbirth will cause huge damage, and two times will be the limit."
Of course, it is best not to have children, which is the most beneficial from one's own perspective; it is okay to be unable to endure the secular world at once; in ancient times, women had a low status and were not considered human at all, so they controlled themselves and had two children. Xue Mei also felt that it was acceptable to have two children, because the secular world was not so easy to confront.
Those who have to have a third or fourth child will get sick in the future. In ancient times, the medical conditions were poor, so there was no pain medication.
Why bother?
No matter how many children and blessings are, you must have life to enjoy it. Without health, everything is delusion.
Every time she thinks of having a baby, Xue Mei will think of her cousin Xi Baochen.
My cousin has given birth to a third child.
According to her cousin's easily conceived constitution, the emperor was affectionate to her and often stayed in her palace. I wonder how much she would have to have in this life.
"I'm listening to the eldest lady," Xiuzhu said with a smile.
Her attitude is sincere, which shows that she doesn't have to have a fourth child, but just a light idea. It's like wanting to have a hot pot at night. It's naturally good to eat it, but if you can't eat it, you forget it. It's not that you have to have this hot pot.
The master and servant were talking and laughing, and Jinping came in from outside and said to Xue Mei: "Miss, a guest is here."
"Please come in." Xue Mei said.
"You might as well take a step to speak." Jinping said.
Xiuzhu looked at them.
Jinping explained: "It's the person from Jiyanlou."
Xiuzhu then realized that it was a big deal and urged Xue Mei: "Miss, go and have a look."
Xue Mei followed Jinping out of Huining Garden, but she did not meet the people from Jiyan Building in the living room of Prince Zhuang’s Mansion, but a warehouse in the backyard.
The people in Jiyanlou are uncertain. This time I came here to give Xue Mei a big gift.
"The owner asked the poster to give it to the Marquis. Thank you for the Baiyao you gave last time." The visitor said.
Xue Mei planted Panax notoginseng on a large scale. After the harvest, she made Baiyao. Baiyao had a miraculous effect in stopping bleeding. Xue Mei gave it to Jiyanlou and Youming Pavilion.
Just then, an excellent spy in Jiyan Building was injured and blood was flowing.
Baiyao stopped the bleeding and saved the man's life.
Xue Mei gave her a full ten bottles, and the owner of Jiyan Building knew the amount of this medicine. This time I would like to thank Xue Mei for coming.
Jiyanlou is an intelligence organization, and their great gift is naturally also intelligence.
The information they gave to Xue Mei was about the prince’s in Xiangcheng.
Xue Mei saw it, her heart beat, feeling that the situation would be reversed.
"Thank you to the poster for me," Xue Mei said, "This is really a gift."
The people from Jiyanlou were very happy that Xue Mei could recognize the goods and left immediately.
She did not make any contribution to this matter, but just told Xiao Jingcheng and his elder brother.
The eldest brother was also shocked when he heard this: "The prince is so bold?"
"I don't think he doesn't have the courage, so it must be Cheng Lanqing's decision to make the decision for him." Xue Mei smiled, "The woman Cheng Lanqing is not simple."
"But how to deal with the aftermath?"
"As long as there is no drought or military disaster next year, everything will be safely passed." Xue Mei said.
Xue Chi: "..."
Xiao Jingcheng heard this and said, "I'll send someone to verify."
Xue Mei immediately said: "No! Cheng Lanqing is good at tampering with things. Once your person is discovered by her, this good opportunity will be missed."
She advocated not to move.
Xiao Jingcheng followed her arrangements in these matters, but he really stopped taking action.
Xue Chi felt mixed feelings in his heart.
However, he did stand behind him for a long time and should have stood in front.
The capital city is particularly cold this year. It was just October. The cold wind was biting and the damp and cold climate made Xue Mei dare not go out.
The prince went to Xiangcheng to collect grain. After a month, he successfully finished his errand and returned to the capital.
The grain collection went smoothly, and there were enough granaries in various parts of Xiangcheng. When the emperor heard about it, he planned to issue an order to praise the prefect of Xiangcheng.
Unexpectedly, Xue Chi reported secretly.
He did not say it in front of the court officials, but went to the emperor's imperial study and told the emperor all the information he knew.
After hearing this, the emperor was shocked. He ascended the throne for more than 60 years, and he had been in power for forty-seven years.
Such a thing has never happened in the past forty-seven years - maybe it had happened long ago, but he didn't know that nothing happened.
Otherwise, how could nearly 100 officials from Xiangcheng be so tight-lipped and skillful?
From this incident, the emperor thought of the rule of the world.
Is the administration of officials so corrupt? What about other places?
"I will send someone to investigate." The emperor gritted his teeth, "If you falsely accused, you will go back to the fiefdom to eat sand!"
Xue Chi: "Yes."
The emperor sent two confidant ministers and asked Eunuch Wei to help him, and quietly went to Xiangcheng overnight.
They brought two hundred guards, each with great martial arts skills, and secretly handled the mission with the emperor's imperial edict.
The other side of Xiangcheng was caught off guard.
Although Eunuch Wei was not in a high position and had no power, he was loyal and had been with the emperor for many years and was used to the storm.
After he arrived in Xiangcheng, he checked four large granaries in a row.
As King Zhuang secretly reported, all the large granaries of the government were empty.
With evidence, the first thing Eunuch Wei did was to rush to the prefect's house with his guards, seize the prefect, and execute a rank-in official on the spot.
Originally, the eunuch had no such power, but the imperial edict allowed Eunuch Wei to come in person like the emperor.
"All officials have been taken down! The prefect has been executed on the spot. Let's settle the score one by one!" Eunuch Wei said righteously.
His move is very clever.
Next, the officials stopped resisting and surrendered one by one.
Eunuch Wei killed the prefect, the highest official in Xiangcheng, which was equivalent to telling other officials: "Dirty water is poured here, and the dead will not speak. Everyone will bear your faults, so I will give in to you."
If you dare to resist, you will die and you will be the second one to take the blame.
The officials were all shrewd, which led to the fact that although the people in Xiangcheng were panic, there was no large-scale unrest. All the officials shouted for injustice and said they had to force them.
