Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 232 The Medicine Field (2)
There was a middle-aged woman, wearing a blue sarong and a headscarf, who was cleaning the porch with a broom, saw Yao Guangyao and a group of people coming, and followed in a long time ago, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Doctor Yao. Knowing that the girl in the back is probably a guest of the master's house, she gave another gift: "My surname is Yu, and I am also a villager in this village. When Dr. Yao is not around, I come to take care of the apricot orchard every day. How about you?" Sit down first, and I'll go pour tea for you." This Mrs. Yu is a widowed family in this village. He has no children. Once the apricot orchard is repaired, he will be hired to do work. He can make a living and do other things. Children to pass the time.

Yun Wanqin saw that Mrs. Yu was clean and well-groomed. Although he was over middle-aged, his eyebrows were somewhat charming, and his speech was methodical, so he smiled back: "The location of the village is good, far away from the busy city, and the transportation is convenient. I live in Beijing. I don’t know there is such a place, when was the village built, and what’s its name?”

Yu Shi was startled, opened his mouth slightly, and glanced at Yao Guangyao.

Yao Guangyao just smiled and waved his hands: "Okay, okay, I'm done, you go weigh a few herbs, pack them, and Miss Yun will take them back later." He said the names and quantities of the herbs, and Yu Shi also helped Yao Guangyao to receive the villagers who were looking for medical treatment on weekdays. He was familiar with the medicinal materials and agreed, but Miao'er was also clever: "Your maidservant, go help Mama Yu's hand." Then they went to the small kitchen in the yard to make tea together. went.

Yao Guangyao turned his head and looked at Yun Wanqin, his tone was a little slower than before: "This village doesn't have a long history. There are only [-] families in total. They gathered together five or six years ago, and they didn't have a formal name."

No name?Yun Wanqin was taken aback.

King Yan rushed up at some point, and said softly: "These dozen or so families are all victims of the Great Plague in the capital during the 12 years of Ningxi. They were driven out of the village and escorted by the yamen to the outskirts, and some even mothers and children, husbands and wives, and children were infected at the same time."

The great plague came fiercely and spread quickly. Once infected, it was almost fatal, and the contagion was also very high. Yun Wanqin remembers that when it was the worst, the Yun family bought vegetables a month in advance and frozen them in the cellar. All kinds of expenses, and then ordered the servants not to leave the house at will, for fear of being infected. There are also special medical officers in the yamen, who come to check regularly. Forcibly pulled away.

The sick people in the city have no medical center to take them in. The patients are driven to the outskirts of the city by the government, where they will fend for themselves. After half a month, the government will send government servants to collect the corpses. The germs dug a hole in the wilderness, and immediately caught fire.

The people in this village were the plague patients who were lucky enough not to die at that time?
Yun Wanqin was surprised, Yan Wang glanced at Yao Guangyao, and continued: "When Yao Yuanjuan rushed to the suburbs, although it was too late to save everyone, he managed to save these [-] patients and took them away in a hurry. , sent people to find such a place to settle down first, and then came to give injections every day, and just saved the lives of the group of people. But the plague was so contagious that the people in Beijing turned pale when they talked about it. People look at it with strange eyes, and they are afraid of being imprisoned by the government, and they are unwilling to go back, and they are willing to take root in this unknown village, which is what you see now."

In this way, Yao Guangyao is not only the owner of the apricot orchard in this unnamed village, but also the savior of this unnamed village. Without him, this village would not exist at all, let alone the eighteen families right now.Yun Wanqin pondered for a moment, something flickered in her mind, and she froze King Yan.

Yan Wang saw that she seemed to have guessed something, her eyelids moved, she was really not rough, and sure enough, the girl's eyes widened, and she turned to Yao Guangyao thoughtfully: "The people who rescued back then, I'm afraid it's more than that." Yao Court should sentence one person." Finding a place to house eighteen families of patients is not a trivial matter that can be done with a single mouth.

These [-] families are all seriously ill. It is estimated that they don’t have much strength to walk. To be taken away requires people to clear the way and lead them. They even have to be carried by horse-drawn carts and ox carts. It has to be done in private so that the government and the court cannot find out... ...All of these require manpower and material resources, and it may be difficult to rely on only one court judgment.

The prince is crowned queen, and he can control more than [-] soldiers under his command. He secretly mobilizes his confidant guards to complete it secretly, which is a piece of cake.

Yao Guangyao laughed: "I can't hide it from you girl." He winked at King Yan.

Yun Wanqin's mind became clearer again, Ning Xi was 12 years old, the king of Yan was only old, and he hadn't been crowned king yet, without this ability, there must be only King Qin.

These eighteen households were ordered by King Qin to rescue Yao Guangyao and arranged to settle here, and this apricot orchard, needless to say, was also repaired by King Qin.

Why, he wants to build a hospital?She didn't think that man was a bodhisattva, and she was afraid that these villagers would not be able to see a doctor because they were in the suburbs.

While wondering, Yao Guangyao had already picked up the curtain, she pulled back her thoughts and followed into the back room.

The room is spacious and bright, with several bookcases containing medical books, Yun Wanqin received Yao Guangyao's hint, and flipped through them, among which there were many single copies and Yao's own notes.

In front of the window, a large mahogany desk is piled with books, pens and inks, as well as many Chinese medicinal herbs and pots, as if they are experimenting with new medicines.

Yun Wanqin casually flipped through a book of "Medical Herbal Classic", which was Yao's experience for many years. She just wrote more than half of it, and it was all about some cases of medicinal herbs saving lives. After a while, he raised his head and smiled brightly: "The apricot garden is clean and no one disturbs. No wonder Yao Yuan came here to study medical skills. It is indeed more suitable for studying knowledge than the imperial palace."

Yao Guangyao lived a sixty years old, so he couldn't tell that the child's words were probing. He was a little curious about this Xingyuan, walked to the window, raised his hand and beckoned twice: "Girl, come here."

Yun Wanqin put down the book and went over, Yao Guangyao pushed the window and pointed to the backyard of the room.

Outside the window, the backyard is divided into a patch of fields, with crops of tender seedlings exposed outside, some covered with silver-white thick-film greenhouses, and there is a forest nearby.

The backyard stretches out of the apricot orchard, where all kinds of medicinal herbs are cultivated, and it is actually a living medicinal planting land.

Using controlled temperature and artificial means, the planting area brings together herbaceous plants from all over the world and all year round.

Standing by the window, with the sunshine of the suburbs shining on her body, Yun Wanqin took a deep breath, a gust of cold and sweet air with a faint fragrance of herbs, exhaled into her mouth, poured into her throat, and could cleanse her body The filth makes people live a few more years.

It is much better than the air in the capital.

Some herbs have already grown into shape. Yun Wanqin recognizes chicken bone grass, Hedyotis diffusa, Radix Isatidis, Purslane, Fangji, Motherwort, Smilax cocos, Niu Dali, etc. The more expensive ones include ginseng, Eucommia, Cortex Phellodendri, Amomum Amomum, Five Fingers Peach, Morinda officinalis.
