The princess is farming with her baby, daddy, come find me soon

Hearing the knock on the door, Xu Bo opened it.

Seeing the servant standing at the door, he was a little surprised and calmly blocked his view inside.

The bailiff could not see what was happening in the courtyard, so he withdrew his gaze and saluted Xu Bo with his fists clasped.

"Uncle, is Mr. Gu here?"

Xu Bo looked at him warily, "My dear officers, what can I do for you?"

No matter how slow-witted the yamen runner was, he could sense Xu Bo's vigilance.

He quickly apologized, "Old man, I am here to see Master Gu on the orders of the county magistrate. I need his help with something!"

Xu Bo finally felt relieved.

"Please wait a moment, my lords. I will go ask my young master."

The bailiff nodded quickly.

After closing the door, Xu Bo turned around and walked quickly towards Gu Manzhu.

Gu Manzhu frowned slightly when she saw Xu Bo so anxious.

He asked in a gentle voice, "Uncle Xu, what's wrong? Who's knocking on the door?"

Xu Bo: "Madam, it was the yamen runners who said the county magistrate asked them to come and look for Master Gu."

After hearing this, a hint of darkness flashed in Gu Manzhu's eyes.

"Uncle Xu, please let them in. I'm going to change my clothes."

Xu Bo agreed and turned around to open the door.

Gu Manzhu wanted to give Zhizhi to Hua Yueya, but Zhizhi held on to her clothes tightly.

"Mother, Zizi, let's go together!"

"Be good, Zizi, and play with your aunt and your brothers and sisters. Mom will be back soon."

After Gu Manzhu coaxed her for a few words, Zhizhi finally let go of her little fleshy hand.

Hua Yueya picked her up and said softly as they walked: "My little darling, auntie will take you to see the new little tiger~"

As soon as the little tiger heard it, he responded in a baby voice: "Hu Hu, Bai Bai!"

"Yes, let's go see Hu Hu and see if the Hu Hu that Auntie made for Zhizi is cute."

Before they even saw it, they kept shouting, "Cute, pretty."

Hua Yueya's heart was about to melt, "Ours is the prettiest."

She only knew that he was praising her, and shyly hid her little face in the crook of Hua Yueya's neck.

Gu Manzhu watched her daughter being carried away obediently, then turned back to her room and changed her clothes.

After a while, he came out as a handsome young man. Although his makeup was a little dark, his pair of peach blossom eyes were still eye-catching.

Gu Manzhu has become accustomed to covering up the crescent birthmark on her forehead and darkening her skin tone a few shades when wearing men's clothes.

The yamen runners, who had been waiting in the main house for a while, became a little anxious.

Just when I was about to ask when Mr. Gu would come out.

Gu Manzhu stepped into the main house.

When the bailiffs saw her come in, they quickly stood up and saluted.

"Mr. Gu!"

After all, now that you are asking for something from others, you have to be polite first, and then you can talk about other things.

When Gu Manzhu saw their expressions, she returned the greeting in a very formal manner.

Reciprocity is a courtesy.

"Why are you here today, gentlemen?"

Several yamen runners looked at each other, and finally an older yamen runner stood up and spoke.

"Mr. Gu, this is the case. Many of the victims in the rescue camp have developed high fevers, and many people were injured while fleeing. Now the entire Qingshi Town is in urgent need of medicinal materials. The county magistrate knows that you are in the medicinal materials business, and would like to ask for your help."

Gu Manzhu already had a bad feeling when he mentioned having a fever, and then when she heard that many people were injured, her anxiety grew.

The most terrifying thing about natural disasters is that just when you think you have escaped a catastrophe, a plague comes next.

Especially floods.

Every citizen buried in the flood would become a source of plague.

Gu Manzhu curled up her hands, thinking of how Zhizhi had become more and more attached to her since she went up Tiger Mountain, and how she didn't want to leave her just now.

There is a struggle between my conscience and my desires.

After a stick of incense, the yamen runners thought they would return empty-handed this time.

Gu Manzhu sighed softly, "I will provide the herbs, and I will go with you to the rescue camp to take a look!"

The bailiffs were overjoyed.

"Then I would like to thank Master Gu on behalf of the people in the rescue camp."

Gu Manzhu waved her hand and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go count the herbs and bring them back to Qingshi Town later."

"Yes!"

Gu Manzhu asked them to wait in the main house first while she went to explain the situation to Senior Song and the others.

Unexpectedly, when she proposed to go to the rescue camp, she was opposed by everyone.

This was the first time that Gu Manzhu encountered opposition from them since she came to this era.

Old man Song had a serious face, not at all the smiling face he usually had when he saw delicious food.

"Manzhu girl, I object to your going. If the county magistrate wants medicinal herbs, just give them to him. You don't have to go in person."

Gu Manzhu knew that Old Man Song was doing this for her own good.

But she really had to go this time.

The victims in the relief camp were rescued with great difficulty. If the situation was not controlled properly and most of them died or were injured, then all her previous efforts would be in vain.

Old Man Song looked at her in silence, knowing that she had to go, and closed his eyes helplessly.

When I opened my eyes again, they felt clear.

Among the people present, only Old Man Song was older and could offer some advice.

Now even Old Man Song compromised, and there was no way for others to persuade him.

Xu Bo knew best that Gu Manzhu was a man of her word, so he did not try to stop her.

Old Man Song stared at Gu Manzhu for a few seconds.

Gu Manzhu's peach blossom eyes were full of determination, mixed with a hint of pleading.

After a while, E Xiaochu, who had been silent, finally spoke.

"Madam, how long will you be gone? What about Zhizhi? It will be Zhizhi's first birthday in less than a month. Don't you want to miss Zhizhi's first birthday celebration?"

Gu Manzhu felt as if a thorn had pierced straight into her heart, causing her unbearable pain.

The delicate mouth moved a few times, "I, I'll go take a look, and I'll be back soon!"

Xiao Chu didn't believe what she said. After going through this period of time, everyone knew very well what the current situation in Qingshi Town was.

After she goes there, she might be left there.

"All right!"

Old Man Song interrupted Xiao Chu's intention to continue speaking.

"Manzhu girl, if you want to go, we can't stop you. We just hope you'll be careful. Also, bring Ying, Wei Yi and Wei Er with you."

The guards on Tiger Mountain asked Gu Manzhu to give them simple numerical titles to make them easier to identify.

Gu Manzhu nodded, feeling a little depressed.

Old Man Song felt uncomfortable seeing her like this, and took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to her.

"Take this. If you have any questions, take this to the county magistrate."

Gu Manzhu looked at him with some surprise, and took the token under his urging gaze.

The token was made of a piece of fine old sandalwood, engraved with delicate patterns and totems, and a word "Song" was engraved in ancient characters on the back.

Gu Manzhu had the illusion that she had the upper hand over a big boss.

When Old Man Song saw that she accepted it, he added anxiously.

"Keep it well, and return it to me when you come back from Qingshi Town!"
