After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Qi Siyuan knew clearly in his heart that even though his father was a diligent and good emperor who worried about the people every day, the emperor could not control natural disasters and man-made disasters at will.

"We don't have any shortage of medicinal materials yet, so don't send them over yet. If we don't have enough later, I'll have someone go get you some."

The purpose of Yuxiu's greeting Qi Si today was to report the matter to the higher authorities, and she also had another request.

"After all, we have just arrived in the capital, and we don't have any connections. If we suddenly go to administer the medicine, we're afraid someone will mess with us. If something goes wrong, it will be more trouble than it's worth..."

What Yuxiu said is not without reason. No matter what time it is, there are always those people with dark minds who like to do things in secret and do things that harm others and themselves.

It would be even more troublesome if someone tried to stir up trouble by doing so.

"That's fine. When will your family prepare to apply the pesticide? I'll come and say hello to Lord Yao of Jingzhao Yin and ask him to send someone to keep an eye on it."

In fact, every year in the cold winter in the capital, wealthy families would give out porridge and food. One reason was that they really couldn't bear to see the people starving and freezing, and the other was that the New Year was coming soon, and no matter what, everyone wanted to do good deeds and ask for some auspicious words.

It is estimated that in the next few days, those families will start to distribute porridge one after another. If it doesn’t work, we can just let the people in the government organize it and set aside a place in the city so that those who are willing to do good deeds can set up a tent.

This not only facilitates management, but also saves people from having to travel so many places.

Yuxiu also thought that this idea was good. Not to mention the feeling, it really was just like those temporary markets in her previous life.

The matter was settled. Qi Siyuan dressed very low-key today, and even the carriage looked very ordinary, so he was not afraid of attracting attention and simply sent Yuxiu back to the Xu family.

Since he was already here, he went in to take a look at the Xu family's pharmaceutical workshop. Smelling the aroma of herbs in the room and looking at the shelves filled with medicine bottles and jars, Qi Siyuan couldn't help but feel shocked.

Finally, Yuxiu brought him a bottle of medicine for treating colds and a bottle of medicine for pain relief and anti-inflammation. Seeing the words "Golden Healing Medicine" written on a box next to it, Qi Siyuan didn't bother to be polite with Yuxiu and directly asked for two bottles of pills and powder to take away.

His men were often injured for various reasons. If there were better pills, they could have some additional means of saving their lives.

Anyway, Yuxiu would give him whatever he wanted. Neither of them mentioned the matter of money, and they got along very harmoniously.

Xu Qinghe and Cui originally wanted to invite them to their home for dinner, but Qi Siyuan politely declined because he had to go back to take care of some things.

After sending the people away, Yuxiu told Xu Qinghe and Cui about what happened. When they heard that Xu Qingrong's family had suffered retribution, the two did not say anything.

Anyway, those things were caused by the evil thoughts in their hearts, and in the end they ended up hurting themselves instead of others, so they can't blame anyone else.

If you do evil, you will have to bear the consequences.

So the matter was not mentioned again, and the family discussed the application of the pesticide. Not long after, several yamen runners came over.

"This is what our master asked me to bring. Master Xu will know once he sees it."

A yamen runner took out a letter and handed it to Xu Qinghe. Yuxiu took a glance and saw that there were about ten similar letters in the yamen runner's bag. She guessed that they were sent to other palaces.

Sure enough, when Xu Qinghe invited them to sit down and have a cup of hot tea to rest, the yamen runners refused, saying that they had letters to deliver to other people.

So Yuxiu asked Zhang Wentang to see the guests off and asked him to give each of them a red envelope.

Although these people are not big shots, it is better to make friends with them than to offend them.

This letter was written by Lord Yao. The general meaning was similar to what Qi Siyuan said, that is, an area was designated and they could go there tomorrow, and people from the yamen would be sent to maintain order.

Now that the matter was finalized, Xu Qinghe went down to make the arrangements, and Yuxiu didn't have to do anything.

Because the three members of the Cui family had helped distribute porridge before, they had accumulated some experience. Working with Xu Qinghe helped to reduce a lot of his burden.

………………

The weather was nice today. When we woke up in the morning, we found that the snow had stopped and the sky was bright. It seemed that the sun would come out soon.

So they began to clear the snow in front of their homes. Soon, people from the government office started beating drums and gongs and shouting, asking the person in charge of each street to organize people to start sweeping the snow, so as to clear a path in the street to facilitate everyone's travel.

No one dared to question the tasks assigned by the yamen, and there was no need for people to shout. Everyone picked up the tools they were familiar with, whether it was a shovel or a hoe, and started working hard.

I hadn't been shoveling snow for a while when I heard yamen runners passing by banging gongs, shouting that someone would be distributing porridge and food in the open space at Caishikou today, and someone would be boiling cold medicine for everyone for free. If you are sick, you can get treatment, and if you are not sick, you can drink a bowl of medicine to prevent it.

Free medical treatment and medicine had been provided in previous years, so no one thought much of it, but their actions became faster.

"Sister Zheng, are you going to get some porridge?"

A woman was bending over and shoveling snow with great effort. A younger woman came over with a large basket in her hands and was looking at her with a smile.

"It's Xinghua. Sister-in-law does want to go, but as you know, there are a lot of things to do at home. I can't..."

Mrs. Zheng said that she couldn't leave now and would wait until she finished her work before going.

"Oh, there won't be anything left if you go later. Let me help you shovel the snow, and then we can go together."

Xinghua was also a straightforward woman. She immediately put the basket aside, picked up another shovel and started shoveling.

The two of them worked hard and quickly cleared that section of the path.

Mrs. Zheng did not delay any longer. She went into the room, said something to the man on the bed, and then came out carrying a basket.

Each of their baskets was covered with a piece of floral cloth that had been washed white, and underneath the cloth were two clay jars and several small cloth bags.

The reason for preparing all these is, of course, because there is porridge distribution every year, and then we have to use clay pots to hold it, and for rice and noodles distribution, we have to use small cloth bags to catch them.

The two had lived in the capital for many years and were extremely well prepared.
