Chapter 160 The Abandoned Concubine from the Palace

The next day, Beihe Li Palace was mobilized as a whole.

Jiang Xinyi watched helplessly as they turned the Imperial Palace into a rural farmhouse.

Zhao Qianyue made an analogy and built a stove in front of the big kitchen for simmering embers, which was safe and did not hinder the use of fire in the big kitchen.

Each palace also directly issued a large pot.

"The charcoal stove is too small. It is better and safer to put the embers in an earthen pot."

"Then you can hang another long iron pole on the roof beam, and put hooks under it, so that you can directly hang the clay pot on the earthen basin to boil water and warm tea."

The two little girls didn't use pens and paper, they squatted on the ground and scratched with bamboo poles, chatting about the feasibility of painting houses with pepper mud in ancient times.

"Pepper mud is too expensive. In the previous dynasty, only the empress had it, but in the current dynasty, the four concubines had it." Zhao Qianyue said.

"Pepper paste is prickly ash, right? Can't you grow it yourself?" Jiang Xinyi didn't understand.

"It's hard to grow in the north. I read that there are more pepper trees in the southwest."

"No way! The climate here in Jihai is very suitable for growing peppercorns. Of course, the quality in the southwest may be better, but we only need a large quantity, so we can definitely grow peppers here!"

Jiang Xinyi thought of the news that he had read before. Lubei is a major producer of peppercorns. The climate and soil seem to be similar to those in Jihai.

Zhao Qianyue couldn't believe it. Zanthoxylum bungeanum is a precious thing. As far as the production in the southwest is concerned, all of it has been paid as tribute, and the inner courtyard of the palace is not enough. She held Jiang Xinyi's hand tightly and asked excitedly:
"Can you grow prickly ash? Can it really be grown here? If you can, Beihe Palace will be saved. Not only can you spend the winter, but all the empresses here will have a way to survive."

With money, there is a way to survive. This is the last word. As long as Beihe Li Palace has mastered the cultivation of prickly ash trees, they can even negotiate conditions with the royal family.

Seeing Zhao Qianyue's seriousness, Jiang Xinyi lowered her head and thought for a while. She wanted to eat Mala Tang for herself. Of course, she bought both pepper planting bags and pepper planting bags, but she had no time to grow them.

But those quality are too good, it is too eye-catching to Zhao Qianyue, but if you can plant pepper trees, of course it will be a big business. Go down to the windbreak forest and do a good job of preventing the cold, and you should be able to succeed.

"Wait for me to prepare pepper seedlings for you! The mountain behind Beihe Palace can be planted, and winter is the dormant period, so you can find someone to open the ground.
It has to be done recently. Now it is only possible to turn the soil and remove insects when there is frost in the soil. After the snow falls, the soil will freeze and it will be difficult to do it. "

"Okay, I'm here to find someone. When you come over after the Spring Festival, we have agreed! You must come!"

After working with Zhao Qianyue all morning, Jiang Xinyi had a revolutionary relationship with Zhao Qianyue.

She also no longer dislikes Zhao Qianyue as a little kid and overly mature, but actually understands that Zhao Qianyue is also forced by life to grow up early, and how can she struggle to survive without all kinds of thoughts.

Jiang Xinyi saw many concubines in Beihe Li Palace, they were locked up for a long time, forgotten and belittled.

Even though she lived in the palace, she didn't have jewelry on her body, because they were snatched away by eunuchs and maids, or they would be exchanged for daily necessities.

Those who have status cannot wear common clothes, but silk clothes are not durable and difficult to maintain. The original embroidery skills are used to mend clothes.

One or two sets of clothes will last a whole year, there is no money to buy new clothes, and the palace will not release materials for them, so they can only wear the old clothes as they are, and the traces of mending can be seen everywhere.

The residences are also deserted, without any decorations or furniture, worse than Jiang's.

I heard that Zhao Qianyue was bullied by the old eunuchs and maids for two years when she first came. Later, Zixing came to find her, and the two of them joined forces to rectify Beihe Palace, kicked out those moths, and slowly turned life from hell on the ground.

Although some concubines saw Jiang Xinyi coming and hid behind the door with expressions of distrust, but when they saw Zhao Qianyue coming, they immediately opened the door with confidence.

Jiang Xinyi couldn't help but think, it's a pity for Zhao Qianyue to be a daughter. Even a place like Beihe Ligong can set up a career. Zhao Qianyue is like a little queen here, and everyone listens to her.

If Zhao Qianyue is the prince, he is really a good candidate for the prince. I don't know what kind of person the current prince is.

Walking around the Beihe Palace with Zhao Qianyue, Jiang Xinyi simply felt the pulse of all the abandoned concubines. In view of the lack of medicinal materials in the Beihe Palace, Jiang Xinyi also took out some of the standing medicines she tried during the free consultation in Xinglin Hall.

As a result, when many abandoned concubines saw the medicine, they turned their faces and asked her what she wanted to do.

Jiang Xinyi was dumbfounded.

"I'm sorry to make you unhappy, because in the past, there were often palace maids and eunuchs who cheated money and gave bad medicinal materials, or even wrong medicines, which caused some empresses to be ill for a long time."

Zhao Qianyue hurriedly stood up and explained to smooth things over, and Zixing also turned back very rudely, asking those abandoned concubines to be more polite to the princess' guests.

"Then put the medicine on your side! Here are the medicine packs I prescribed to the children in the village last time. It's simple and convenient.
In winter, it is mainly used for typhoid fever. I added or subtracted two kinds of prescriptions for relieving cough and clearing phlegm. You have to buy them separately, but the medicinal materials are not expensive.

There are also prescriptions for stomach and intestines, and prescriptions for warming and nourishing in gynecology. I think many women have to eat them. The cold here is very cold and hurts the body. "

Seeing that Jiang Xinyi was still generously taking out the medicine pack and prescription, Zhao Qianyue couldn't help asking her:

"Aren't you angry? I have found many doctors back and forth, and I will not talk about those who cheated. Some doctors left when they were so angry."

"I'm really not angry. It's not that I sympathize with them. It's just that I treat the illness and don't want to waste my energy on losing my temper."

After a long time of helping in Xinglintang, and the free clinic last time, those aunts in the countryside are even more difficult to deal with. These abandoned concubines will only make Jiang Xinyi feel pitiful.

And Zhao Qianyu, who had taken the medicine for three days, had already dewormed, and Jiang Xinyi also prescribed her a medicine to replenish Qi and blood according to the results of the blood test.

"The worms in your body are all cleaned up, but your body's vitality is seriously damaged. You have to take the medicine for a month, and you have to eat well, especially eat more meat. If you dare to eat internal organs, it will be better to replenish blood."

Zhao Qianyu's already pale face turned paler when he heard that he had to eat offal, but he still insisted on saying yes.

Jiang Xinyi couldn't do anything about it. Zhao Qianyu was anemic and lacked blood. If she didn't eat well and take medicine, she would die even if there were no bugs. Seeing that Zhao Qianyu was actively cooperating with the treatment, she also gave the chef some recipes for roasting pork liver.

No matter how bitter the medicine prescribed by Jiang Xinyi was, Zhao Qianyu drank it all in one gulp, and would not ask for candied fruit or pastries. Regardless of whether the food was delicious or not, she tried her best to finish it all.

Now Zhao Qianyu was able to go for a walk in the garden to bask in the sun without being supported by others. Even if she fell down, the maid was not allowed to help her, and she stood up by gritting her teeth.

The fact that Zhao Qianyue and Jiang Xinyi actively rescued her inspired Zhao Qianyu, and she didn't want to let herself hide behind her sister and sink down like this. She wanted to get well soon so that she could help Zhao Qianyue.
