Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 92
Twice, Mr. Wei couldn't see anyone when he took the pulse and adjusted the prescription, so he jumped and cursed.Ding Wei has no choice but to help appease the master who is turning into an old urchin.

Old Master Wei was naturally reluctant to vent his anger on his apprentice, but he gave her more homework when he had nothing to do, recited prescriptions and medical principles, and checked her every day.

While worrying about her family, Ding Wei took care of An Geer and studied medicine to identify herbs, so she lost a lot of weight.

Today, she remembered that Ange'er was already one year old. This is the best time for weaning children, and they also need to eat some whole grains to grow stronger and healthier.

After much deliberation, she decided to make a gruel to try first.

She had grabbed a handful of fine white rice and soaked it in water for half a day before, and now she looked at it and found that the rice grains had already softened, so she took Xiaoqing to the big kitchen in the outer courtyard to grind it into powder. There was no stone in the inner courtyard. grind.

Xiaoqing held a small cloth bag in her hand, which contained some sesame seeds and peanuts.

Along the way, Ding Wei saw that Xiaoqing was a little depressed, which was completely different from the usual smiling face, so she felt a little strange.

But she didn't ask. After all, a girl is one year older and has her own concerns.

However, after arriving in the outer courtyard, she realized that the place that was always bustling and bustling was actually very quiet at the moment. Aunt Li in the kitchen was muttering to herself with two helper cooks.

Ding Wei was even more surprised, she raised her voice and yelled a few words, Aunt Li heard it, turned her head and saw her standing in the yard, and hurried over, pulling her sleeve anxiously into the kitchen.

The two women doing rough work lowered their heads and pretended to be busy with their work, but their eyes flicked to this side from time to time, obviously thinking about something in their hearts.

Ding Wei looked amused, and while protecting the rice bowl in her hand, she asked, "What does Aunt Li want from me?"

Aunt Li glanced at the small clay pot in her hand, and finally leaned towards her ear mysteriously and asked, "Miss Ding, you said that the sick and troubled young master in our inner courtyard is really the famous Gongzhi?" General?"

Even a rural woman like Aunt Li had heard of the great reputation of General Zhengxi.

It was only then that Ding Wei suddenly realized, no wonder everyone reacted so strangely, it was because they knew the identity of Gong Zhiming.

She thought about it, but there was nothing to hide, so she nodded with a smile: "Yes, Master Yun is actually the Great General of Gongzhi! He was framed by a traitor and poisoned before, so he had trouble walking and was weak. It's almost healed now!"

The two women were very excited when they heard this, and they wished to prick their ears like rabbits.Xiao Qing leaned closer, staring at Ding Wei with her bright black eyes without blinking.

Aunt Li was taken aback, and said angrily, "Is the general poisoned by traitors? Oh, he is a good man. Back then, those Teller horse bandits killed people like hemp, and took many women and children back to the grassland. If It wasn’t the general who led the troops to defeat Teller, we’re all doomed. Who killed the general and have you caught him? This kind of person deserves to be cut to death, and he will go to hell after death!”

Although the peasant woman has little knowledge, she still understands the principle of repaying her kindness. When she heard that her benefactor was framed, she gritted her teeth and cursed incessantly.

The other two women and Xiaoqing also nodded together, their attitudes were unexpectedly the same.

Although she had already guessed that the common people loved Gong Zhiming, she saw the attitude of the people around her with her own eyes. Ding Wei felt it firsthand, and her heart was full of sweetness.There is no woman who doesn't like that the man she loves is a great hero.

But some things can be said, but they can't be said too clearly. She shook her head and replied vaguely, "The person who poisoned General Gongzhi has been found out a long time ago, but there is no way to do it now. But it is God's blessing, otherwise the new emperor Tyranny, pampering the villains, and harming the ministers of the people. If the general Gongzhi hadn't stepped forward, how could we small people have a good life now!"

She said so, but there is a basis.

A few days ago, the fields had harvested new grain, and the common people were overjoyed. A message was sent from Fucheng, requiring all villages and towns to pay grain taxes immediately.Not only that, each household has to collect [-] catties of grain.

As soon as the news came out, everyone hadn't figured out whether it was an order from the imperial court or whether it was the self-interest of the officials in the prefecture. From the county town to the villages below, chaos broke out, because the government officials and soldiers who came to the door started to rob it openly.

Countless people cried and fought against the officers and soldiers, but to no avail. They watched the officers and soldiers snatch the food they had worked hard for a year into the county government.

Just when everyone was in despair, Gong Zhiming stood up and announced that he was still alive. He led the old ministry that had defected to him, and at the first stop, he took down the county government office, put the official in prison, and sent the people who robbed him to death. The food was returned to them, and then the price in the county was stabilized, and several large grain merchants who were driving up the price of grain were punished, and refugees and beggars were recruited into the army. Girls, women, old ladies help with childcare.

This series of measures to benefit the people has completely won the support of the people, and more young people have taken the initiative to stand under the banner of righteousness on the side of the Qing emperor.

Gong Zhiming then appointed a young man named Xu Chang to take over the county magistrate temporarily.This Xu Changsheng is a good-looking talent, gentle and gentle.Back then, he was also one of Gong Zhiming's aides, very talented.

But after Gong Zhiming's "death", the entire Western Conquest Army was suppressed by the new emperor and was not reused. Xu Chang only had the reputation of a scholar, and no one praised him.

Some time ago, when Gong Zhiming was recruiting the old department, he dropped everything when he heard the news and rushed over without stopping.

Gong Zhiming was very happy. Originally, Gong Zhi's family was the family of Marquis Wu, and there were many generals around him, but there were very few people who were good at martial arts.As soon as Xuchang came, he solved the urgent need and took over the chaotic Qingping county government.

Since then, Qingping County has become the first rear town of the rebel army, advancing all the way south.

Xu Chang is also very talented, and he did not disappoint Gong Zhiming's value at all.However, within a few days, a group of hooligans who took the opportunity to cause chaos were dealt with, the crazy increase in food prices was curbed, and the law and order in the county returned to the way it was before the chaos.

But now that Ding Wei said this, it resonated with Aunt Li, Xiaoqing and others.

Several people nodded together, and Aunt Li praised: "In just a few days, our place is like a different place, a big change. When I go out today, I can't even see the refugees on the street."

"I heard that those refugees have been recruited into the army!" Xiao Qing said the news she heard with a smile, her face was flushed, and she occasionally glanced at Ding Wei secretly.

Aunt Li also hesitated for a while, and finally asked the words she kept in her heart: "Miss Ding, you live in the inner courtyard, and you get along well with Master Yun and General Gongzhi. The general has regained his status, and he is a person who is going to do big things. This house will be vacant anytime soon, so what about us new recruits? Does Master Yun have any regulations?"

Xiaoqing and the two women also looked over nervously, obviously very concerned about their future.

Only then did Ding Wei fully understand that these people were afraid that after Gong Meizhi left, they would be fired, and life would be hopeless.

You know, they were bought into the Yun family back then because they had no one to rely on.If it was better in the peaceful years, there would be a way to survive if you go out, but now it is the time of war, it is simply precarious to go out, and you are looking for a dead end!

Ding Wei thought clearly, so she quickly comforted the others and said, "It's okay, don't worry. Even if General Gongzhi moves away, he will stay here and will not drive you out! As long as there is a place of shelter, there will be a If you have enough food to eat, just relying on Aunt Li and Xiaoqing's hard work, are you afraid you won't be able to survive?"

What she said made Aunt Li laugh. She wiped the corners of her eyes and blushed a little. Have a good master take care of you, save some money, otherwise you will be a living target to be snatched by yourself in this kind of troubled world!"

Talking like this, she looked at Xiaoqing.

Sure enough, Xiaoqing's face darkened immediately, her little hands were tangled together, looking very pitiful.

Ding Wei found it funny, and said casually, "Auntie said so, it's better to marry Xiaoqing home quickly, so that she won't be missed. You should also report to your grandson as soon as possible!"

"Oh, sister Ding, what are you talking about, I'm ignoring you!" Xiaoqing's face turned red immediately, she stomped her feet in embarrassment, turned around and hid in the house.

Even though Aunt Li treats her very affectionately, she has revealed many times overtly and secretly to ration her to Xiao Fuzi, but the girl's face is as thin as the most transparent paper, so she can't bear such jokes.

Everyone laughed, and Aunt Li's eyes brightened, wondering if she should have settled her son's marriage earlier.

Ding Wei didn't bother her with her calculations, she turned her head and said to the two women: "Just do your work with peace of mind, the general and Uncle Yun will never drive you out, as long as you do your job well and be faithful Lord!"

The two nodded quickly, and Aunt Li came back to her senses at this moment, and then said a few words: "Don't worry, don't worry! Our general is a good man and a great hero. It is definitely right to follow such a master."

While talking, she rolled up her sleeves to cut potatoes, Zhang Luo said, "There are so many people waiting to eat, we have to hurry up."

The two women also got busy, one was kneading noodles and steaming steamed buns, the other was cooking porridge over a fire.

The food of the Yun family's servants has always been good, but now that food is expensive, the standard has inevitably dropped a little.Usually in the morning, the steamed corn bread is served with porridge and stir-fried vegetables. The porridge is salty porridge with vegetables. Regardless of the taste, at least one will have strength after eating it.Originally, I would occasionally eat a meal of rice every few days, but these days I replaced the japonica rice with corn.But even so, everyone is very satisfied.

After all, when such chaos is approaching, I don’t know how many people starved to death by the roadside. They should be blessed by God if they have shelter from the wind and rain, and they can still eat hot meals. Thank you for your kindness.
