Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

Jiang Yue came out of the house and nodded, saying, "It shouldn't be a big deal. The rest is up to the midwife."

"Then leave the rest to me."

"Thank you, thank you." The pregnant woman's family kept thanking her.

Just in case, Jiang Yue did not go back. She found a place to sit and drink tea during the delivery. Midwife Wang was very skilled and delivered the baby smoothly. After the baby was born safely, Jiang Yue went back to her room to sleep. The next morning after breakfast, she checked the pregnant woman and left after making sure there was no problem.

Originally, the owner wanted to hire an ox cart to take Jiang Yue back home, but Jiang Yue refused and walked slowly. She could walk much faster than an ox cart. The main reason was that an ox cart was uncomfortable to sit in and the road was very bumpy. After arriving home, she petted the cat for a while. She didn't sleep well last night, so she slept for a while. When she got up, it was already afternoon.

In the following days, no one came to see Jiang Yue late at night. The New Year period was a relatively novel experience for Jiang Yue. It was the first time in several lifetimes that she knew how Taoists celebrated the Spring Festival.

After the first month of the lunar year, it had been a year since Jiang Yue came to this world. On the night of the Lantern Festival, Jiang Yue went to Chang'an to take a look. She had never seen so many people since she came to this world. There were stalls on both sides of the street. Jiang Yue bought a lot of food and walked around to the place where the protagonist opened the "auction house". Jiang Yue was just here to take a look, she was not qualified to enter.

Especially after sensing the guards in the dark, Jiang Yue did not stay any longer. According to the plot, this should be the first auction. Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun and most of the dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty are probably here. It seems that what is being auctioned today is glass. It seems that they have made several million.

Jiang Yue wandered around most of the night and looked at a lot of things. She not only looked but also bought some, especially some nice clothes, jewelry, and special foods.

By the way, Jiang Yue asked Bai Ze to record a video. He planned to draw this scene when he had free time in the future, so that future archaeologists could know what this era was like, instead of guessing through descriptions in books.

After playing for most of the night, Jiang Yue went back to the Taoist temple to sleep. She got up late the next day and punished herself by copying scriptures several times. She did not cook at noon. She took pictures of the food she bought yesterday and ate them. The sun was shining in the afternoon, so Jiang Yue decided to go out for a walk. She strolled along the path near the Taoist temple and checked if there was any damage around the temple.

After the inspection, Jiang Yue went back to the Taoist temple and started copying scriptures in the room. When it got dark, Jiang Yue stopped writing because the oil lamp was too dim and could easily hurt his eyes. He put down his pen, looked at the time and started doing evening lessons. After finishing the evening lessons, he started to cook dinner. There was really nothing to eat in this season, so he took a box of fruit from the space to make do.

After the Lantern Festival, time passed much faster, and the situation developed a little faster. The biggest event was that the protagonist was granted a title of nobility, and was rewarded with 1,200 acres of land and a fiefdom of 1,000 households. Originally, it had nothing to do with Jiang Yue, but these 1,000 acres of land were near her, and the 1,000 households around her became residents of the fiefdom.

What does it mean? For example, the protagonist, a founding county marquis, has a fief of one thousand households. He enjoys the right to levy taxes on these one thousand households and use this as one of the sources of his salary? In other words, the owner of a fief of one thousand households can not only enjoy the taxes paid by these families, but also control their labor and other matters.

Jiang Yue knew the inside story so he was relatively calm. The people who were assigned to this area were terrified. If they ran into someone ridiculous, their days would be over. It was almost spring plowing time and everyone was fattening up at home, and then suddenly they were dragged away to build a mansion. Who could bear this?

Everyone was cursing when they went there, but after a few days they started calling their friends to join them in building the house. The reason was that the protagonist provided them with meals, money and meat. The time traveler still had some conscience. Don't think that these things were cheap. In these days, people had to bring their own dry food for conscription and labor service. What's more, the protagonist provided them with money, food and meat. Although most of them were offal, they were delicious when cooked according to the recipe provided by the protagonist.

Jiang Yue suddenly remembered a question on a certain website in later generations: If people doing corvée labor in ancient times were only provided with porridge and pickled mustard, would they resist? One of the answers below said it well: when Emperor Yang of Sui was digging the Grand Canal, if he could provide the laborers with porridge and pickled mustard for every meal...believe it or not, he could have dug the Grand Canal to Siberia without any problem!

Originally, building the house had nothing to do with Jiang Yue, as she was a registered Taoist priest and did not have to perform labor service. But after a month of building the house, the protagonist brought his sisters to check on the progress. Unexpectedly, the children played a little crazy, and it was still a little cold at night. As a result, he caught a fever at night without noticing.

As the protagonist, he could hire the best doctor, but the doctor was too far away to come in time. So he invited all the doctors around. Jiang Yue was quite famous in the area and was recommended by many people. After all, the conscripted laborers were all poor people, and Jiang Yue was the person they most often sought treatment for.

So it was almost time to go to bed again when someone knocked on the door of the Taoist temple. Jiang Yue opened the door and saw that it was a military officer. He quickly bowed and asked, "What do you want to see me for?"

The other party obviously didn't know that Jiang Yue was a woman. Seeing Jiang Yue was stunned for a moment, he spoke: "Our Marquis's sister has a fever. I heard that the Taoist priest is a great doctor. Please come with me."

"Wait a moment, I'll change my clothes and get something."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at the door, Taoist priest. Please hurry up."

Jiang Yue changed his clothes, put on his medicine box and set off. The soldier who came down the mountain and reported the news rode a horse. He thought it was a male Taoist priest and just shared a horse with her. He didn't expect Jiang Yue to be a female Taoist priest. He was at a loss. After a moment of silence, the soldier asked, "Does the Taoist priest know how to ride a horse?"

"When I was young, I rode a donkey, but never a horse."

The soldier was helpless now. Jiang Yue said, "Didn't the Marquis only call for a doctor? The general will go back first to report. I have an acquaintance in the village. I can borrow a bullock cart to rush over. It will be faster than walking by myself."

"It's okay. I'll go with you. Someone else has already called for the other doctors."

So Jiang Yue ran to the village chief's house to borrow an ox cart. After the village chief learned the whole story, he borrowed a mule. The mule was faster than the ox cart, but neither the ox cart nor the mule was faster than a horse. When Jiang Yue arrived at the place, many doctors from the surrounding villages had arrived. However, how good could the medical skills of the doctors who lived in the villages be? In addition, with the marquis watching on the side, the pressure was too great, and no one dared to prescribe medicine.

When Jiang Yue arrived, a group of people were still discussing something. When they saw Jiang Yue coming, they felt like their savior had arrived. After all, they had all consulted Jiang Yue about medical skills to some extent.
