No matter how good the general is, no matter how obedient the soldiers are, they cannot fight on an empty stomach.
Originally, everything went smoothly, but for some reason, as the New Year approached, the food adjustment became more and more unsmooth.
I heard it was because the canal road was not smooth, but in fact these were all excuses. Even if Xie Songhua didn't understand these things, he could still figure it out.
It’s not like we never had winter wars in previous years. What methods were used at that time are no longer useful now?
It must be someone in the court who is causing trouble.
Don't think deeply about this kind of thing. If you think too much, you will be angry with yourself.
Xie Songhua shook his head, "At this time, my father must be more anxious than anyone else. If he can think of a way, he will probably use it all. You don't need to write any more. There is a special contact method with the court here, but it is a matter in the city.
Son, I still need you to worry more."
Xie Qionghua waved his hand and said: "You don't need to say more about this, but can you find a way to replace the frostbite medicine you prepared last time with two herbs? The road is not very peaceful now, and those two have to pass through southern Yunnan, so we can't get through."
She had already said this last time, and Xie Songhua also knew it, "I wrote two plans last night, but I don't know the results yet. You can go take a look later and try to choose the cheaper one.
It's getting colder and colder today. If possible, we will send one to the whole city."
"Do you still have enough money?"
Although it is said that this matter was pushed forward by the Datong government, the expenses are not small, and part of them should be reserved to provide relief to the victims.
Therefore, when the imperial court was unable to coordinate the medicinal materials, Xie Songhua always used his own money.
"Don't worry." Xie Songhua couldn't help but laugh, "How can I be so poor that I need your help?"
"Yes!" Xie Qionghua drank all the herbal tea in the bowl. "How could I forget that the person sitting opposite me at this moment is not only my sister, but also a princess!"
That's what Xie Qionghua is like. When the relationship is not good, she doesn't care about the other person's feelings at all and tries her best to squeeze him out.
But after the relationship became good, I didn't care about it, but I was still joking.
Fortunately, Xie Songhua had already gotten used to it and didn't take it too seriously. Instead, he thought of another thing, "Where is Mrs. Cai now?"
"She's still locked up!" Xie Qionghua had a bad look when he mentioned Mrs. Cai, "She's still locked up here with us. If you ask me, she should be locked up in a prison."
"What kind of prison?" Xie Qionghua raised an eyebrow, "Who in the government prison would dare to do anything to her? I'm afraid the cell will be made more comfortable than an inn by then, which will inevitably lead to another anger."
This is true, she is the prefect's wife after all.
Only these people in the palace would not take such a prefect's wife seriously.
Xie Qionghua couldn't refute, so he could only say: "Then lock her up for a little longer. Such a woman is really annoying. I've also checked it out. Master Cai doesn't even know about it. She's fine. In the daytime, she's fine."
She plays the role of a benevolent official wife who comes to plan and transport things out at night.
Don't you know that Mrs. Cai is also a capable person? She actually melted all those silver ingots and poured them into the porcelain vase.
It's just that she couldn't bear to part with the gold, and it wasn't much, so it didn't melt until people saw it that day. I said, how could those bottles be so heavy?"
Seeing her indignant look, Xie Songhua couldn't help but laugh, "You can't blame me for this. With so much money, how can I feel at ease here, but it also shows that Mr. Cai was not involved in this matter, so it can be considered a good place."
Official."
"It's a pity that I was not lucky enough to marry such a wife."
Hearing her muttering, Xie Songhua shook his head, "If he hadn't married Mrs. Cai, Mr. Cai wouldn't have reached this stage. It's hard to say who is lucky and who is unlucky."
"Who are you talking to for? The person fighting at the front is your man, but you are fighting with me."
Xie Qionghua is like this, he can't say more than a few words before he gets angry.
"I'm just discussing the matter. I don't mean anything else. Why are you so anxious?" Xie Songhua waved his hand, "Okay, I don't want you to say more, I'm going to see Mrs. Cai."
"Ah?" Xie Qionghua was about to see the new prescription. He was startled when he heard this and frowned, "It's so good. Why are you going to see that woman?"
"Even if Mrs. Cai is very faulty, she is Mr. Cai's wife after all. Now that she is with us, even though Mr. Cai knows what is going on and understands it clearly, he still feels uneasy in his heart.
Even if he can work with peace of mind, can their children remain calm? This kind of family atmosphere will also affect him. It is a critical time now. The people in the city are actually better off, and those outside are the most important.
What if the panic spreads and the people outside abandon their fields and run away, what will happen next year? No matter where they go, in such a climate, it will put pressure on local governance.
Not to mention, panic is always contagious. Not only Datong, but everyone along the way will run to the capital. Even if the capital is managed properly, it may not be able to bear it."
Xie Qionghua was not a person who couldn't understand reason. Hearing this, he said helplessly: "Come on, all of you can be reasonable. I will always get the ones who make trouble without reason!"
After saying that, she finally got up, but she didn't go to the pharmacy. "I'd better go with you! You are pregnant now."
Xie Songhua did not refuse.
Mrs. Cai has been imprisoned for seven or eight days, and the palace did not treat her harshly. Even though she was imprisoned here alone, she was given three meals a day.
But the food is average.
There is only one bed and one table in the house, which is simple.
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the cold.
Although the windows on all sides were closed, there was no stove, let alone a fire.
Mrs. Cai has lived a comfortable life since she was a child. After she got married, although her life was difficult for a while, she had a dowry in her hands, and the Cai family supported her. What good things were held close to her first, so she never suffered from hunger or cold?
The most important thing is that the door is still closed, and no one comes to say a word to me all day long.
At first, she had a lot of excuses in mind. After getting along with the princess for a while, she finally understood some of Xie Qionghua's temperament.
Although he seems to be a cold person, he is actually cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Especially for those poor people who come to the medical clinic, he is the most patient.
As long as she makes her situation more miserable, she can probably get a lot of sympathy points.
But seven or eight days passed in a row, and she didn't even see anyone.
The pitiful words that had been rehearsed in my mind had long been forgotten, and finally I couldn't help but curse.
When the Xie Songhua sisters arrived, they heard her yelling and cursing.
"Is the princess so great? Even if she is a princess, why should she control people and prevent them from leaving? I didn't steal or rob, and I didn't take an extra penny from the public house. It's all my own. Why can't I take it away? Could it be that the palace can
Are there restrictions on people’s free entry and exit?
That official document said not to ask people from Datong to go out? Am I not from Daqi? It’s almost the Chinese New Year, what’s wrong with going back to the capital to visit relatives?
What kind of princess are you? Who doesn’t know your background when looking at you? Aren’t you just a yellow-haired girl from the country? His Majesty was confused for a moment, pointed to the princess, and pretended that he had really flown onto the branch?
An ignorant woman with no knowledge at all dares to detain the family members of a court official without permission. I will definitely file a lawsuit with the Censor and ask the Censor to take action!
