Chapter 142

When Xia He went back, he asked Mr. Hu to prepare twenty medicines for her and take them away.

Xia Tingquan looked at the tall medicine bags piled up in the carriage, and felt that his nostrils were filled with the unpleasant smell of medicine.

"Sister, why did you bring so much medicine back?" Xia Tingquan couldn't help asking.

"Let Lan Xin boil it for a while, and let the people in the mansion come and drink it." Xia He said.

Xia Tingquan looked at Xia He and asked solemnly. "Sister, is the epidemic you mentioned really coming?"

Xia He. "Well, here we come."

She already clearly felt that the typhoid fever had come to her, and she was afraid that many people had already been infected without knowing it.

After that, the two of them remained silent in a tacit understanding, but the atmosphere in the carriage became very dignified.

After getting off the carriage, Xia He looked at the snowflakes in the sky, and explained to Fulai and Xiyun. "Give all the medicine packs in the carriage to Butler Wang, please hand them to Lan Hui along with the letter."

"Yes, ma'am."

"It's snowing heavily tonight, so go early and return early." Xia He was afraid that they would be delayed, and the snow would be too thick for the carriage when they returned.

The two expressed their understanding, and without further delay, they quickly disappeared into the wind and snow while driving the carriage.

After entering the gate of the mansion, Xia Tingquan asked. "You have considered Liuhe Court, your family, and the Prince's Mansion. Shouldn't you also prepare some medicine at Sifang Pharmacy?"

Xia He shook his head. "It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's just that Liuhe Court is our own property, where there are Hulao, Huyun, and Cuiliu; Zhongyibo Mansion is our own home, with you and me and Lanxin; Shizi Mansion has... Butler, and Lan Hui. But the pharmacy is now in charge of Master Yubo, so I really don’t know if I should talk to him about this matter, or how to talk to him.”

At this moment, Xia He especially hoped that shopkeeper Liang would be there.After all, they experienced the matter of the princess mansion together, so many things are easier to say, and there are relatively reasonable explanations.

Xia Tingquan always felt weird when he heard Xia He's words.Even if there are Steward Wang and Lan Hui in the prince's mansion, they are not the masters of the mansion after all.

How can he be the master of the Manchu people?

Xia Tingquan didn't go back to the main courtyard either, and went to Shuise with Xia He.

When they arrived at Shuise, the two split up.Xia He took Lan Xin to boil the medicine, and Xia Tingquan arranged for Dongzi and Nanfang to take a group of people from the main courtyard and wait until the other courtyards to notify everyone to come and pick up the medicine.

Before the two of them left, Xia Tingquan thought about Xia He's confession, and said to the two of them. "When you went to the courtyards, you only said that it was cold and the air was severe. I was worried that the people in the mansion would catch the wind and cold, so I prepared the medicine to dispel the cold and asked them to come and get it."

The two were ordered to quickly take the people from the main courtyard to each courtyard to make a notification.

After a while, many people gathered at the gate of the water color courtyard.

Xia He and Lan Xin put the boiled medicinal juice into large wooden barrels, and asked Xia Tingquan to take Yan Hua and others to carry the wooden barrels to the gate of Shui Se Yuan for distribution.

Xia Tingquan came to the gate of the courtyard and signaled Nanfang to shout to everyone. "Line up, line up, line up in two rows, men on the left and women on the right."

Seeing that Xia Tingquan was there, the people at the gate of the courtyard didn't dare to delay, they all divided them into male and female rows as quickly as possible.

Seeing them line up, Nanfang said again. "Those who received the concoction must drink it up on the spot, and must put the finished bowl in the big wooden basin on the left. Do you hear clearly?"

"Listen clearly." Everyone answered in unison.

"Okay, let's get the concoction."

After Nanfang finished speaking, he asked the two servants from the main courtyard behind him to scoop up and distribute the concoction.

After the person who received the concoction finished drinking it, he put the bowls in the wooden basin in an orderly manner according to the instructions of the servants at the side, and then filed away.

Not long after, Dongzi also came back.

He came behind Xia Tingquan. "Young master, the second master said that the people in their second room are not so expensive, so I won't drink this medicinal soup."

Xia Tingquan shrugged indifferently. "It's better not to come, it doesn't cost money to be a medicinal material!"

After thinking about it, he asked Dongzi again. "Except for the second room, all the others are here?"

Dongzi nodded. "All the courtyards are here. The people from the third room are also on their way."

After hearing this, Xia Tingquan relaxed a little. "Look here, I'm looking for my sister."

"Don't worry, young master." The two replied in unison. "We'll definitely keep an eye on it."

Others don't know, but both of them are the young master's confidantes, and they are clear about Xia He's working as a doctor in Sifang Pharmacy, Liuheting and Zaofang.

Since the young master and young lady have said that they are afraid that the people in the house will catch the cold, there must be a reason for worrying.They made everyone in the mansion drink the medicinal juice twice a day, so there must be a reason for them.

Xia Tingquan was turning around to return to Shui Se, but was stopped by Xia Shichang who came from far away.

"Brother Quan, wait!"

Xia Tingquan turned his head and saw Xia Shichang and Xu Shi, followed by the young master and lady of the second room.

"Third Uncle, Third Aunt." Xia Tingquan called Xia Shichang and Xu Shi.

"Brother Quan, what are you doing?" Xia Shichang asked.

Xia Tingquan looked at Xia Shichang inexplicably, and said it as a matter of course. "Distribute the medicinal soup!"

Seeing him so stupid, Xia Shichang was in a hurry.He stretched out his hand to pull La Xia Tingquan's arm, and said in a low voice. "Come here for me."

Although Xia Tingquan was unwilling in every possible way, he finally followed Xia Shichang and moved a few steps aside.

When Xia Shichang felt relatively safe, he pressed Xia Tingquan's shoulders and reprimanded him in a voice that only the two of them could hear. "Why are you so stupid!"

After listening to Xia Shichang's opening words, Xia Tingquan narrowed his eyes slightly, his whole body was filled with displeasure towards Xia Shichang and already rejected him.

But Xia Shichang didn't realize it, and said as before. "It doesn't cost money to buy medicinal materials? Doesn't it waste materials to cook medicine? Now the house can't even afford food, and you still make this one for me. Why don't you know how to hand it over if you have that money?" Your mother... oh, I mean your third aunt, helping her through the current difficulties. "

The more Xia Tingquan listened, the more impatient he became. "Are you finished?"

Xia Shichang was still unaware, and the more he spoke, the more truthful he became, and he gradually reprimanded Xia Tingquan in the same way that his father taught his son in the past. "You said you, you, why are you so heartless! You are tall and not wise, and you don't know how to study hard like Brother Jun. As stupid as you are, don't tell others that I am your father when you go out, lest you Throw it to me..."

Before Xia Shichang could finish the word "face", Xia Tingquan directly waved his hand away from him.

Xia Shichang raised his head, only to see a young man who was slightly taller than him smiling, looking at him coldly.

The words that come out of my mouth are colder than the cold water in this winter. "Third Uncle, you must be joking! My father is a former general of Hussars. He is a warrior who sacrificed his life for the country. It's a pity that he is already dead."
