Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 82

Yan Xiu asked Yan Zhaohua to give porridge, but it was really not just for talking.

From time to time, disaster victims gather outside the city. The government arranges to open warehouses to release food every month. There are also some wealthy families who will give out their clothes here. , all of them were holding broken bowls in their hands and dressed in ragged clothes. Some of them were because of the flood in their hometown, and some were because of the famine in their hometown. In short, there were all kinds of names. They finally ran to the capital, but the capital is not so easy to enter. , so I can only wander around outside the capital with my family, and the government will clean it regularly, or arrange other places, but no matter how peaceful and prosperous it is, it is impossible to rescue all the disaster victims in the world, but it is a little bit of help.

Some rich people gave porridge out of compassion, while others, like Yan Xiu, did it for fame, but no matter what the reason was, it was these poor people who benefited. Yan Zhaohua recalled that day when Yan Xiu was in the study What he said, he couldn't help being a little moved. In the past two years in southern Xinjiang, he must have had a conscience every day. Once he succeeded, Yan Zhaohua had never seen the cruelty on the battlefield, but he could imagine it. The transition from civil to military must have gone through a lot of entanglements before it became the big thing it is now.

The Yan family gave porridge in the name of Miss Yan's family, but there were very few things that Yan Zhaohua really needed to do. Yan Xiu had asked Yan Bo to arrange it properly. Just sit in front of the carriage for a while.

Occasionally, one or two children came to her without fear, and Yan Zhaohua would ask Ranxiang to give them some extra pastries or something.

"It's really great that the eldest lady can come. If possible tomorrow, please continue to come and show your face."

Yanbo came to Yan Zhaohua's side and said this. Yan Zhaohua put down the book in his hand, glanced at Yanbo, and asked, "Yanbo, tell me, how many days will I be here in total?"

Yan Bo chuckled: "Master Hou said, at least until the imperial decree comes down. Give more porridge to keep your heart safe."

Yan Zhaohua: ...Yan Xiu really took this as his way to get rid of evil obstacles.

In fact, Yan Zhaohua herself has no interest in the emperor wanting to be the county lord. In her opinion, it is just a name. Even if the emperor does not confer the title, the Yan family will be able to rank among the first-class marquises in the future. The reward is just icing on the cake. Those women and superficial people who don't understand current affairs, in fact, those who really understand the court situation, how can they fail to see that the promotion of the Changning Hou Mansion to the first class and the canonization of the county head are actually a picture drawn by the emperor for the Yan family? Quan'er, this is to tell other people that the rewards for the Yan family can only go so far. This approach can reassure the hearts of those aristocratic families who are waiting and watching. Jinyi is not boundless, but in a different way of thinking, it can be regarded as the emperor's protection against the Yan family, at least the emperor does not want the Yan family to become a target of public criticism.

In order to win a good name, Yan Zhaohua has also been working hard recently.

Every day at Chenshi, I went to the temporary shed built by Yan's family outside the city to help the victims. Yanxiu was giving out porridge. At his own expense, he assembled more than 20 doctors from the capital, and at the price of 100 taels a day, let them sit here and see the victims. From prescribing prescriptions to taking medicines, Yan Zhaohua paid for everything.

Yanbo was also stunned when he saw such a big handicraft by his eldest lady. The commoner giving porridge seems to be a big deal, but it doesn't cost much money, but the diagnosis and dispensing of medicines is a bottomless pit. Putting it aside, each doctor’s daily consultation fee is as high as 100 taels. Twenty doctors can pay 2000 taels a day, and 2 taels in ten days. Few people need expensive medicinal materials, but even the most common medicinal materials such as licorice and yellow lotus consume hundreds or even thousands of catties every day...

On the fifth day, seeing that his young lady hadn't stopped, Yan Bo leaned over and asked:

"Miss, is this medicine going to be delivered like this?"

Yan Zhaohua was sitting in front of the carriage at the back basking in the sun and reading a book. Hearing Uncle Yan's question, he put down the book and replied, "You don't need to keep going. I guess ten days and a half months will be enough. Medicine is not a meal, so you don't need to take it every day. "

Yan Bo felt his eyes twitching a little. Does this young lady know how much money it costs to do this, but before she could say anything, she heard Yan Zhaohua say: "Okay, don't worry about seeing a doctor and delivering medicines." Son, all the money comes from me, my father wants peace of mind, so I will let him put his heart in his stomach."

Seeing that Yanbo still had a worried expression, Yan Zhaohua waved his hand and said, "Okay, go get busy, I know what to do."

Compared to the dowry that Xie Wei left her, these are nothing.Now Yan Zhaohua's handwriting is affordable even if it is given away for one or two years in a row.

If Yan Xiu wants to make her famous in a short time, it would be better to use a bigger hand than relying on everyone's porridge handouts to see little effect.In fact, Yan Zhaohua's approach was indeed effective. On the third day after seeing the doctor and delivering the medicine, someone came to kneel and pay respects not far from her car, and the titles were also changed. The exaggerated name made Yan Zhaohua feel a little embarrassed.

Two days later, when Yan Zhaohua was about to go out, he met Yan Zhaoning, stopped her, and said:

"I heard that my eldest sister has been serving porridge outside the city for the past two days, can you take me to see it too? I mentioned it to my father yesterday, and my father may accept it."

Yan Zhaohua saw that she had finished grooming and even put on the veil and hat. It seemed that she had been prepared for a long time. Although she was reluctant in her heart, since she had told Yan Xiu, Yan Zhaohua had no reason not to wear it, so she nodded. Without saying anything, he got into the carriage.

Being neglected, Yan Zhaoning sneered inwardly, put on the veil, and followed Yan Zhaohua into the carriage. After arriving outside the city, although Yan Zhaoning waved the non-existent smell on the tip of his nose from time to time with a handkerchief, he could not smell it for a while. Covering his mouth and nose with the handkerchief again, Yan Zhaohua just looked at her and didn't say anything, thinking that luckily this girl was wearing a veiled hat, otherwise she might be able to catch Yan Zhaohua with her disgusted face. Hua's hard work a few days ago was wiped out.

After Yan Zhaohua came, he sat in his old seat and read books, all of which were newly collected vernacular books. These days, Yan Zhaohua was fascinated by reading them. Yan Zhaoning sat beside him for a while, but couldn't sit still anymore. Then he asked Yan Zhaohua:

"Eldest sister, you don't just sit here every day and donate porridge and give people medicine, do you? You are too worthy of the money your father spent on you."

The implication is that Yan Zhaohua's reputation is too easy to earn. Looking at such a big scene, Yan Zhaoning felt sore in his heart. If these scenes were done for her, it would be fine. Yan Bo passed by and just heard Yan Zhaoning replied on Yan Zhaohua's behalf:

"Miss San doesn't know something. Master Hou ordered the commoner to give out porridge, but the eldest lady did it herself to see the doctor and deliver the medicine. After these days, it is estimated that it will cost 3 to [-] taels of silver. The young lady's handwriting is so overwhelming. It’s hard not to remember.”

Yan Zhaoning was also speechless: "Three, 3 taels?"

Looking in horror at Yan Zhaohua who continued to read with his head down, Yan Zhaoning couldn't help wondering how much money Yan Zhaohua got from her mother back then, and Xie also had a dowry for her and Shuyan. Ning calculated and calculated, the total may be three to forty thousand taels. She thought that it was not much different from what Xie Wei left behind, but now it seems that the difference is not a little bit.

I couldn't help but feel jealous again, thinking that Yan Zhaohua has given Yan Zhaohua all the good things. Now even his father regards her as his treasure, and wants to earn her fame and title, but if there is no Yan Zhaohua, These good things will definitely fall on her.

"Sister, does father know that you spend money like this?"

Yan Zhaoning said in a sour tone.

Yan Zhaohua raised his eyes to look at her, turned a page of the book by the way, and saw something important, always unhappy to be disturbed, and replied casually: "I use my own money, why should my father know?"

Yan Zhaoning is looking for something to talk about, she has been here for a few days, how could Yan Xiu not know what's going on here?She just felt aggrieved and wanted to make Yan Zhaohua feel unhappy, but who knew that Yan Zhaohua's words made her even more unhappy.

Yan Zhaoning was even more curious about saying "I used my own money". She knew how much money Xie Wei had left for Yan Zhaohua. Wei's 30 taels were stored in Tongbao Bank, Xie Lan couldn't resist the temptation, and touched the money, which ruined her future and was sent to Yuzhou.

But Yan Zhaoning felt that Xie Wei must have left more than 30 taels, otherwise, how could Yan Zhaohua dare to spend so much?Or spend it on these insignificant people, the more she thought about it, the more jealous Yan Zhaoning felt in her heart, she finally understood what it means to be jealous, Yan Zhaohua suppressed her so much that she couldn't hold her head up. The feeling is really terrible, I wish I could let her disappear in front of me immediately.

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell my father when my sister said this? You are not paying attention to my father more and more. Hmph, you tell me the rules all the time. In fact, you are the most unruly person in this family. "

Yan Zhaoning's crazy words, Yan Zhaohua simply didn't want to pay attention to them, he didn't expect that girl to be really excited, and continued:
"Spending money to outsiders so lavishly, have you ever thought about supplementing the government's expenses? You always rely on your father to love you, and you don't do things at all. Even if the eldest wife left you a lot of dowry, you don't need to do this Let's spend it, who among these people still remembers you?"

Yan Zhaohua put down the book and said to Yan Zhaoning: "If you can't stand it, you can go back. Don't bully yourself or others here. I have my money. What are you worrying about? My money You can spend it wherever you want, so it’s better to spend all the money on you? Go back as soon as possible, don’t make me unhappy here. "

Yan Zhaohua's blunt words seemed to hurt Yan Zhaoning's self-esteem, she stood up suddenly and shouted to Yan Zhaohua: "Yan Zhaohua, you are too deceitful."

After saying this, he ran away to the nearby woods, followed by the two servant girls.Yan Zhaohua looked at the direction she was running to, and knew that there were also guards from the Yan family guarding there, and nothing would happen, so he felt strange in his heart. It stands to reason that if she said these things normally, Yan Zhaoning would not stay no matter what. Yes, but today it actually stayed.In other words, according to this girl's personality, she would never follow her to this dirty place outside the city...

With doubts in his heart, Yan Zhaohua continued to immerse himself in reading. These days' work is like this, come in the morning, go back at noon, stop in the afternoon, and then repeat the cycle the next day, and do it again.

After another two hours of reading, seeing that noon was coming, Uncle Yan came over and said to Yan Zhaohua, "Miss, it's almost noon, why don't you go back earlier."

Yan Zhaohua nodded, stood up, and said, "Go get Miss San back."

After Yanbo took the order to go down, Yan Zhaohua got into the carriage and waited for Yan Zhaoning to come over in the carriage, but after a while, Yanbo ran over anxiously and said to Yan Zhaohua: "Miss, it's not good, three Miss is gone."
