The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 741 Urn of Ashes

The medicinal wine was distributed, but Ye Chulian was reluctant to make more. Because making medicinal wine also requires medicinal materials, and now there is a shortage of medicinal materials, it is better to keep them for curing diseases and saving lives, and not to use them for making wine.

Ye Qingmei stood at the door, watching the snow falling heavier and heavier outside. She became more and more upset.

"Although the court hasn't said it explicitly, Lin'an is actually under lockdown. No one is going out, and people outside won't come here. It would be fine if the snow and wind stop in a few days, but if it keeps falling, the consequences will be disastrous."

Ye Chulian was also frightened, "Will it snow all the time? It doesn't snow like this even in winter."

Ye Qingmei shook her head, "I don't know, I hope it won't keep raining! Right now, A Yan and Lord Emperor are not in the capital, so I'm always worried. Chu Lian, what do you think is wrong with me? I've never been so worried before, so what's wrong now?"

Ye Chulian said: "Maybe he has been relying on the fourth sister for more than half a year, and he is used to it! I am afraid that not only you and I are used to it, but even the emperor in the palace is used to it. Didn't the second sister go to the palace yesterday, and when she came back, she said that the emperor went to the foot of Yanhua Mountain to talk again. He stood in the wind and snow for nearly an hour, talking about the weather and why the snow came. Even though he knew that the Lord of the Emperor of Yanhua Mountain was not at home, he was willing to go there. In addition to talking about the emperor, he also talked about the fourth sister, and the second sister followed him. After listening for a while, she told him that generally, people should pray to gods for such things, why are you running here?

Guess what the emperor said? The emperor said that in his heart, Lord Emperor and the fourth sister were more useful than gods and Buddhas.

Look, the emperor relies on them so much, let alone us! By the way, did you go to the Imperial College today?"

Ye Qingmei nodded, "Yes, he went there all day. Mother was worried, so she asked my second brother to send him off. Although the road outside is not easy to walk on, in order to facilitate the court officials to go to court, there are people sweeping the snow in the inner city of Lin'an. Just be careful and everything will be fine."

As she spoke, she looked outside again. The East House had also been sweeping the snow. Both the servants and the maids around them participated in it. Even they themselves would help when they were free. There was no other way. The snow was too heavy and it kept falling. If they didn't sweep the snow for a while, they couldn't walk. Although everyone tried to avoid going out as much as possible, it was impossible to really stay at home. People still had to eat and drink, and the family still had to move around.

However, no one has been to the First-Rank General's Mansion in the past two days. Only the second brother would go there occasionally to check on them. He said that the servants were relatively orderly, and would clean when they were supposed to, and stay in the house when they were not supposed to, so he asked them not to worry.

They had nothing to worry about. Most of the old people in the general's mansion had been replaced. Those who had served the second wife or served overnight were given a sum of money and sent away. Even their deeds were returned to the government. Even the people in their own courtyards were sent away and replaced by new people.

Before leaving, Ye Wenyan left behind a batch of pills, which were said to make people forget some things. All the servants who left the general's mansion swallowed the pills under their eyes, and drank a large bowl of water after swallowing them to ensure that they really swallowed them. Then when they were asked about the general's mansion, they could not remember a single thing. The effect was surprisingly good!

Except for some loyal old servants, the rest of the people in the General's Mansion and the East House are new. Some were bought from the children, and all of them signed a life contract. Some people did not sign a life contract, but only signed a government-approved employment contract. They were people from the outer city who volunteered to work in the East House, and most of them were women, helping them with the winemaking and aromatherapy business.

Ye Chulian said, "I'll go to the kitchen later to see how long our rice, flour, meat, vegetables and other things can last. There are many people in the mansion now. Although the business is closed, it's not easy to drive everyone back to the outer city immediately. The employment contract is still there, so we have to pay them wages and provide them with food. Besides, it's freezing cold, and they will starve with their families if they go back. At least we have more storage in our mansion than outside, so we can last for a while. At this time, we should take care of one more person if we can!"

Ye Qingmei nodded, "I think so too. We can't drive people away at this time. If we do that, no one will be willing to come next time. Go ahead. I also need to calculate how many paid aromatherapy products are still not delivered in the inner city. Let's hurry up in the next few days and make the ones that the ladies have paid for first."

Ye Chulian left as soon as she said she would, and she looked at the kitchen, the warehouse, and the vegetable cellar dug in the mansion. After she came back, she said to Ye Qingmei with satisfaction: "We have a lot of stock in our mansion. The rice is enough for at least a year, and we even have a lot of meat. It happened to be cold, so the meat would not go bad, but it was difficult to store vegetables. The colder the weather, the harder it is to store vegetables. Many of them are frozen and can't be eaten. Fortunately, when the weather was hot, the servants dried several batches of vegetables. They were originally used to improve our taste, but I didn't expect that they are still counted on now. In short, don't worry, big sister, unless this snow lasts for a year, the people in the mansion will not starve." Ye Qingmei was relieved, and quickly arranged for Ye Chulian to help make another batch of aromatherapy. The shop couldn't be opened, but there were still many people in those high-ranking families who were willing to buy, so they could still sell it on a small scale.

But if we sell all the raw materials we have, once this batch of materials is gone, the inner city will also be out of stock.

As the two were talking, a servant came outside the door and reported that the Sixth Prince had come again and wanted to see the Second Miss.

Ye Qingmei felt a little annoyed after hearing this. She waved her hand and asked Ye Chulian to deal with it. She turned and went into the house, not wanting to care about this matter anymore.

The Sixth Prince came here often these days, almost every day, whether Ye Qingtong was there or not, he would come to report. In fact, he didn't say anything when he came, just brought some food and daily necessities for Ye Qingtong, and sometimes found some novel toys. But Ye Qingtong usually didn't treat him well, and a few times he whipped him. Unfortunately, the whip didn't go away, and the Sixth Prince came anyway.

Later, Ye Qingtong seldom went home, and sometimes she simply lived in the palace. At first, Queen Mother Yu thought that she was the second daughter of the Ye family and was not close to the first house, so she was not very willing to entertain her. But later, perhaps because Zhuier's attitude towards her was okay, she reluctantly smiled a few times. Later, after a while, she smiled more and more. Once, she even asked in front of Ye Qingmei: How did your second sister change her personality? She was able to change so thoroughly, and I now like her a little.

Ye Qingmei was helpless about this, but she couldn't tell the truth. She could only say that it might be the family changes that made her grow up!

It was late today, and she thought the Sixth Prince would not come, but she did not expect him to come at this hour. She was really upset, after all, in her heart, the Sixth Prince was the sinner who killed her sister. So she simply left everything to Ye Chulian to entertain, and went back to the room, closed the door, and did not want to listen to a word.

Ye Chulian was also annoyed with the Sixth Prince, and her annoyance was more obvious than Ye Qingmei's. She didn't even want to see him. So she said to the servant, "Go tell the Sixth Prince that the Second Miss is not at home, and ask him to come back another day. If he insists on going into the mansion, tell him that if he dares to go in, I will report him to the authorities and sue him for trespassing, and let the prefect of Lin'an punish him." The servant hurried to reply, and came back a little while later. The Sixth Prince was not following him, but he was holding a jar in his hand.

Ye Chulian frowned when she saw the shape of the jar. "What is this? An urn? Can he get something from the world of the living? The harvest has been bad, and he has nothing better to do than to send ashes to our house? Is the Sixth Prince ill again?"

The servant also had a bitter look on his face. "It doesn't seem to be ashes. I heard from the Sixth Prince that he peeled the pine nuts for the Second Miss with his own hands, and said that the Second Miss loved to eat them." After saying that, he looked at the jar in his hand. He didn't know if it was Ye Chulian who said that, but now he kept thinking about ashes. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the jar really looked like ashes, and he didn't want to hold it anymore.

"Fifth Miss, are you accepting it? If so, take it!"

"It's not me who should take it." Ye Chulian was unwilling to accept this unlucky thing. "Just send it to the Second Miss's room. I'll go meet the Sixth Prince. By the way, was he gone when you came back?"

"He hasn't left yet. He's still standing at the gate!" Haha, she knew that man wouldn't leave. He would stand at the gate for half an hour every day! It was really annoying.

Ye Chulian wrapped herself in a cloak, put her hat on her head, lifted her skirt and plunged into the snow, walking all the way to the gate of the mansion.

As expected, Quan Qingyin did not leave. He was standing in the snow, with the heavy snow covering him like a snowman.

When Ye Chulian came out, he looked over with a look of surprise, thinking that it was Ye Qingtong who came out. But when he saw that it was Ye Chulian, he was disappointed. "It's Miss Five! Where's your second sister?"

Ye Chulian rolled her eyes. "Why do you care about my second sister? What on earth does my second sister have to do with you? You are at best her ex-boyfriend. The engagement has been cancelled and she has changed her body. What are you talking about all day long?"

She learned a lot of words from later generations from Ye Wenyan. Sometimes it was quite enjoyable to talk about them, and gradually she started to like talking about them.

"Sixth Prince, what were you doing earlier? If you could peel a can of pine nuts for my sister to eat, you two wouldn't be in this situation now. I just can't figure it out. You didn't treat her well when you should, and you came to her when you shouldn't. What are you thinking? Sixth Prince, let me make a bold guess. Do you think that my sister is alive and well now, so you want to send her back to hell again?

Are you unwilling to see her doing well, or are you unwilling to see our Ye family doing well?"
