Chapter 373: Something is wrong
Wan Hongmei walked on the road and glanced at the still-unclear sky.
The cold wind blowing in front of her made her wake up a lot. The daughter has entered the palace now, and the ministers and wives will all go to the palace later.
She is Mrs. Hou, so she can go because of her status.
His Majesty's death was such a big deal. Although no one came to call her for a while, someone might be sent from the palace later.
I still won’t go to the hospital today.
If you don't want to go to the hospital, what should you do now?
Wan Hongmei stopped where she was after thinking about it.
"Go and call the accountant."
You can ask the accountant to stock up on supplies and collect some medicinal materials.
The servant following Wan Hongmei immediately moved.
Several people came to the accounting office. They listened to Wan Hongmei's instructions and listed the bills. After preparing to write the list, they went to prepare it.
Late autumn is a good time to collect medicinal materials. Merchants from all over the country will bring the dried medicinal materials to the capital. After selling them at a good price, they will dump some goods and return home with a full load to celebrate the New Year.
The accounting office in the mansion has been arranged by Wan Hongmei to purchase medicinal materials, and they handle all the medicinal materials in the women's hospital.
It turned out that the medical center was only accessible, so I spent a lot of money to get in.
Later, the reputation of the medical clinic grew, and all kinds of ladies came to make appointments one after another.
In addition to their consultation fees, there are also a lot of bounties, which must be accounted for.
The housekeepers in the Yunhou Mansion were astonished at how quickly the Yunhou Mansion made money.
They all followed from Li'an and had seen all kinds of ups and downs. Looking at these things, they felt calm.
In addition to these medicinal materials, Wan Hongmei also asked them to purchase a large number of daily necessities.
At dawn, everyone left the Hou Mansion.
Watching the guards coming and going on the street, patrolling closely, I couldn't help but wonder, what's going on?
Arranged for the housekeeper in the house to go out to purchase supplies.
Wan Hongmei picked out some of the dried fruits she had stored, asked the maid in the mansion to make some more snacks, and then took the opportunity to send several buckets of water to the space.
These things are enough for her man to stay in the space for two days.

Yuntao and Li Qianchen walked hand in hand to the outside of the emperor's palace. At this moment, many clan members were kneeling outside the palace and crying loudly.
Bursts of crying mixed with the cold wind, blowing the sadness all over the garden.
"Princess, Prince Consort, I will take you to the side hall to change clothes." The little eunuch on the side came up and whispered, being extra cautious.
Yuntao seemed to be affected by the scene in the hospital and was not very interested.
The two of them walked to the nearby palace together and changed their clothes. Before going out, Li Qianchen stuffed something into Yuntao's hand.
Yuntao's first impression was of paper, something wrapped in paper.
She raised the thing in her hand and took a look, instantly recognizing that it was the lactose that is a specialty of Li'an.
"Maybe it's going to be a long time. You can hold it in your arms and take a few pills when you're hungry." Li Qianchen said softly.
Yuntao squeezed Li Qianchen's hand gently, her eyes moving slightly.
The two returned to the outside of the hall and were assigned to different seats according to men and women.
Yuntao looked at the crowd and fell down, surrounded by the noble ladies of the clan who were all kneeling in mourning robes.
Yuntao raised her head slightly and saw the person kneeling in front of her, who seemed to be Princess Guangyang.
After she returned to Beijing, she had been very busy. She accepted Princess Guangyang's post and did not go to her house. Later she had time to make an appointment, and the people at Princess Guangyang said that the princess had something to do.
It's been delayed until today...
Yuntao thought to herself that she had received a letter from Pingling in recent days, saying that the quilts would be shipped in the next few days.
I was thinking that I would send some to Princess Guangyang when the time comes.
There is no such thing as joy and mourning in Jin Dynasty.
When a relative dies, relatives and friends grieve together, and it is the current Holy One who is passing away. A group of people gathered around, crying loudly.
Yuntao didn't feel anything unusual while sitting among the women. She knelt for two hours and hadn't eaten breakfast yet. She felt like she was going to suffer from hypoglycemia.
She secretly took out the toffee that Li Qianchen gave her and stuffed it into her mouth while the people around her were not paying attention.
It's better now that I've replenished some energy.
When it came to crying, she felt sad, but thinking about what happened to her father, she felt so complicated that she couldn't cry no matter what.
The women around her were crying, and she couldn't shed a single tear.
After trying hard to brew my emotions, I managed to hold back some tears.
Thinking of the time when the Holy One was still there, the things she encountered while escaping, and her unclear future, Yuntao felt sad and cried louder.
"Princess, don't be too sad." The person next to her comforted her and handed Yuntao a handkerchief.
Yuntao took the handkerchief, thanked her, and wiped her nose that was red from crying.
There are many real sorrows that cannot be expressed by crying.
The sun rose later and shone on her body, making her feel much better. Even if her legs and feet were already numb, it was better than the cold wind blowing on her face.
"Dear ladies, please go to the side hall to rest first." The eunuch in charge came over and said.
The female relatives kneeling in front of the hall were helped up by their personal maids, and those who walked to the side slowly walked into the side hall.
Entering the side hall, there are all the maids serving tea, water and breakfast.
Everyone had breakfast, tidied their clothes, and calmed down.
Yuntao took a look at the unfamiliar faces in the palace. Princess Guangyang was talking in a low voice to an acquaintance.
She didn't know the rest, but they also knew her.
Just when Yuntao was thinking about finding a place to sit down, another young eunuch came over and whispered, "The Crown Princess please come over."
Title...
Yuntao thought about it and walked out.
This is the side hall next to His Majesty's palace.
The eldest grandson, wearing mourning clothes, was standing in the hall. When he saw Yuntao coming over, his expression changed slightly.
He walked forward quickly and said, "Sister."
"I have met Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess..." Yuntao lowered his head and saluted.
"Sister, Xian'er... I haven't seen my sister for a long time." Changsun Xian stood in the main hall and said in a hoarse voice.
She cried for a long time today, and after she finished crying, she had to order the people below to do things.
Looking at the attitude of the people in the hall towards her, she understood that everything was different after all.
Seeing that Yuntao wanted to speak, Changsun Xian hurriedly said, "Sister, you should call me Xian'er. If you and I become estranged, Xian'er will be very sad."
Yuntao lowered his eyes and stepped forward, gently patting the shoulder of the person in front of him.
Even if she changed her clothes, she was still the same little girl who needed someone to take care of her.
"Are you tired?"
"Sister, I'm not tired."
"Okay, I'm tired now, and I want to tell my sister. You can come to my sister's place, and she will tell you stories and make snacks..."
Yuntao comforted the child in front of her.
On the other side, Li Qianchen knelt in the middle of the crowd, weeping with the royal family and relatives.
In the process, he realized something was wrong.
The princes in front seemed to be in a bad mood.
Some cried so much that they were heartbroken, while others kept a cold face and said nothing.
