The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

"Yes, the porridge house over there is always open. I told Master Cheng that there will be no classes for the time being. This is a good opportunity for him to spend time with his family and study for the exam."

"besides……"

Lu looked at Song Shengfu and felt a little uneasy.

"Kang Ge'er's side..."

Song Shengfu knew what Lu had not said. Now she was not allowed to interfere in Kang Ge'er's affairs because she was afraid that Lu would worry too much.

"Him? He's quite tough. A few days ago, I even stepped on the door stool in his room and broke it. He seems to be very energetic. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'Toughen their minds and harden their muscles'? He should practice more. Learning martial arts will make him less afraid of heat."

Mrs. Lu's mouth twitched slightly. She had just said that it was cold and she was afraid the children would be cold, and now she said this. Mrs. Lu didn't understand what double standards meant, but it was normal for girls to be spoiled.

But without the literature subject, Kang Ge'er will feel more relaxed.

It was impossible to relax. Kang Ge'er was originally happy that he didn't have to go to school, but then he was told that he had to learn martial arts all day long. He complained bitterly for a while. This was worse than before. At least he could take a nap in the morning.

Song Shengfu waited until Lu left and recalled what had happened before.

It turned out that the plague she saw was the waterworm disease that Duan Jing'an mentioned, and the water plague here was probably the cholera in her previous era, and the waterworm disease was a mutated water plague.

In this era, some people take anthelmintic medicine, but it can't eliminate them. She is not a medical student and has no way to deal with it.

However, she specifically asked Duan Jing'an to find out the historical facts about water bug disease for her. She took a rough look at it and found that there is no prescription that can cure water bug disease.

Because the infected people usually die within four or five days, the speed is so fast that some serious cases even die within a few hours after the onset of symptoms.

It typically spreads quickly, covers a wide area, and is highly lethal.

She had no other options but to place her hopes on the doctors. The key to controlling water bug disease was the water source. Alum had been used to purify water in ancient times. Alum kills insects and purifies water, making it a significant aid in controlling water bug disease.

But the key is where to find alum for so many people in Nanyang. Nanyang is in a mess now. Many people can't even get food to eat, let alone buy alum to purify water.

This is also the reason why so many people died in Nanyang. People can go without food, but they cannot go without water. What's more, the conditions are so difficult that many people can't even boil water.

Song Shengfu sighed. In this era, if she had been reborn as a man, she could have accomplished many things, but she was an old woman.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to, but she can’t under the oppression of power, but she can always find a way.

In the evening, Duan Jing'an walked out of Bisongyuan with a thoughtful look on his face, and then went to visit his future father-in-law the next day, visiting several places in succession.

Finally, he drafted a memorial and submitted it, and the Emperor of Chu approved it with a wave of his hand.

Several orders were sent from the capital to Nanyang in succession, and all departments in the capital began to move, with countless carriages and horses heading towards Nanyang.

Just as the preparation and transportation of materials were in full swing, news came from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion that Duan Jingyi had taken action.

Song Shengfu was extremely nervous when she heard the news. This was an era when giving birth was truly like entering the gates of hell. Even though Duan Jingyi was pregnant with her third child, Song Shengfu still felt her heart pounding like thunder.

After being woken up in the middle of the night, Song Shengfu couldn't fall asleep anymore. She tossed and turned and simply got up and went to the ancestral hall.

"You old guys, please bless your younger generations and wish them peace and prosperity."

Song Shengfu muttered softly, and a bunch of incense was inserted in front of each person's tablet, filling it up.

Mother Qi, who was sent outside by Song Shengfu, only saw the old lady continuously inserting incense into the incense altar and muttering something.

Mother Qi wanted to stop her, but after thinking about it, she decided not to. Well, if the old lady likes it, then let her do it. Who dares to say no?

Moreover, the incense burned very vigorously, and the ancestor of the Duan family was only happy, but it was a bit pungent.

Mother Qi smelled the strong and pungent smell of incense and couldn't help coughing twice.

Song Shengfu didn't care about all these. She was only concerned with filling each incense burner. Finally, she was very satisfied when she saw the neatly arranged row of burning incense sticks.

Soon the room was filled with smoke, as if a ritual had been performed. Above the roof, smoke curled up.

The next morning, the King of Chu came out of the palace yawning. When he passed by the ladder, he could faintly see a wisp of green smoke in the distance, and he felt a little puzzled.

In front of us is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which is also the highest place in the entire capital. From here you can get a preview of the entire capital.

Seeing this scene, the King of Chu rarely stayed for a moment. The sky was slightly bright, and green smoke rose straight up. The smoke was even and orderly, which looked like a good omen.

Perhaps the timing was just right. When the dawn broke, good news came from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion. Duan Jingyi gave birth to a big fat boy!

The wife of the Left Prime Minister fainted with joy. Huang Jing took a day off that day and stayed at home to accompany Duan Jingyi who had just given birth.

My son has asked for leave, so I can’t do it anymore. The Left Prime Minister still went to court with a happy face, but he couldn’t be too happy at a time like this.

The Left Prime Minister tried hard to suppress the smile, but the Emperor of Chu could see it. However, he knew that the Left Prime Minister's family had never had a legitimate grandson, and it was a good thing that he had finally got what he wanted. The Emperor of Chu was always tolerant of these old ministers.

In addition, the recent progress in Nanyang was smooth, and the Emperor of Chu was in a good mood.

What made the Emperor of Chu happy was yet to come. At the court meeting, good news came from Nanyang. The waterworm disease had been effectively suppressed, and the number of people suffering from the disease had dropped sharply.

In the letter, Prince Xin praised the emperor for his benevolence and wisdom, and for sending a large amount of food, clothing and medicinal materials, so that the people of Nanyang had clothes to wear, food to eat and medicine to use.

In particular, a large amount of alum was put into use, allowing people to drink clean water.

After receiving the letter, the King of Chu stood up from his seat happily.

Everyone knelt down and prayed that God would bless the great Chu. The King of Chu paced back and forth in joy. Seeing that the letter mentioned the lack of winter clothing, he quickly sent a large amount of supplies to Nanyang.

The King of Chu knew that today was a good day, and sure enough, good news came one after another.

After the court session, Duan Jing'an found Zuo Xiang and went to his residence to visit his second sister.

Inside the Left Prime Minister's Mansion

"Look at Huaifu's face. He looks a lot like Jingtong when he was a child. His eyebrows and eyes are like Jingyi. He will definitely be a handsome man when he grows up."

Old Madam Huang couldn't let go of Huaifu and kept holding him in her arms, admiring him.

Song Shengfu watched eagerly from the side. Old Madam Huang looked at her with some reluctance, but still handed it to Song Shengfu.

"Huaifu, come and let our grandmother hug you."

Song Shengfu was a little hesitant, but Mrs. Huang handed the child to her directly. Song Shengfu was afraid of dropping the child, so she could only hold the child carefully with her hands stiff.

Perhaps he was uncomfortable being held in the arms, Huaifu frowned and pursed his lips as if he was about to cry.

"Your position is wrong. You need to hold up his butt and head, like this."

Song Shengfu changed her posture as taught by Old Madam Huang, and Huaifu fell asleep again with a relaxed look on his face.

Holding the little cub in her arms, Song Shengfu felt the miracle of life for the first time. Such a little person was born into this world and was about to have his new life.

Song Shengfu was holding the little girl. Duan Jingyi had just finished her meal on the bed and was looking at the little girl in Song Shengfu's arms.

Song Shengfu took the child over, and Duan Jingyi held him in her arms skillfully.

"Huaifu, Huaifu, my little brother."

Duan Jingyi looked at Song Shengfu with tears in her eyes and smiled, her voice a little sobbing.

"Mother, it's Huaifu, my brother."
