The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 278 Defending the City (2)

Hearing this, Xiao Can woke up like a dream: "That's right, this wound medicine is indispensable in the war, I will ask the medicine boy to help prepare it later, by the way, girl, if possible, ask Master Pan to give us more Can you get some medicine over here?"

He was only worried about the people in the city, and he didn't even think that he could help.

"I'll ask Uncle Gu to tell Master Pan later that there should be time to send another batch of medicinal materials." Mi Congcong said: "Doctor Xiao, during these few days, you can find some more stable children or go to school." Older women come to learn how to apply medicine and bandages, and they may be able to help at that time."

"Okay, it's still the girl who is thoughtful." Xiao Can hesitated for a while, and then said: "Girl, the wound medicine developed by Mr. Gu is very useful. I wonder if Mr. Gu can give the script for the wound medicine?"

When Xiao Can said this, he was very guilty. If it wasn't because the rebels were coming, he wouldn't be able to say this even if he was killed. This prescription is a priceless treasure, which is kept privately, and most people would not show it.

"Since the formula is good, I'll ask for it later." The little old man is not a stingy person, as long as he is coaxed, he can be cut off.

Mi Congcong ran into Lou Chenxiao by chance on the way to the teahouse, and Lou Chenxiao saw her frowning: "It's a mess outside, hurry home!"

"Where are you going?"

"I'll go to the city gate to have a look." Lou Chenxiao said.

"When can I come back?" Mi Congcong grabbed his arm and asked.

"It depends on the situation, but I will definitely go back at night, you go back and wait for me." Lou Chenxiao patted her on the head and said.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back for dinner." Now that the rebels haven't arrived, Mi Congcong is not worried that he will be in danger.

"By the way," Lou Chenxiao thought of something, and said again: "The gate of the city has been closed, and my mother, grandma, and the Lin family will be sent directly to Taizhou, so you don't have to worry."

He also has his own property in Taizhou, and there are three yards alone, so there is no need to worry that they will not have enough space to live in the past.

"I see, thank you. I will cook tonight, so you should come back earlier." Mi Congcong just wanted to thank him, but changed his words under his sharp eyes.

"Good." He raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, pinched her face again, and then turned and walked towards the city gate. .

When Mi Congcong arrived at the teahouse, he found out that Gu Ziang and the waiter in the shop had gone to the city gate, and Gu Yu was the only one left in the whole teahouse, and there were no customers.

"Uncle Gu, since there are no guests, please close the door." The rebels are about to call, who is in the mood to drink tea?

"I know."

Mi Congcong and Gu Yu were discussing about asking Pan Shi to deliver medicinal materials, when they saw the housekeeper of Pan's family come over and asked Mi Congcong and Gu Yu to come over.

Mi Congcong saw that it was still early, so he and Gu Yu went to Pan's house with the housekeeper of Pan's house.

It turned out that Pan Shi heard that the rebels were coming, and the government was confiscating glutinous rice and boiling rice soup to strengthen the city wall, so he took the lead in donating all the glutinous rice on the village, hoping that the big households in the city would also actively donate money and materials.

On the way, Steward Pan told Mi Congcong and Gu Yu about the situation in the mansion. Those big households were very stingy, and the donations were limited.

Mi Congcong and Gu Yu looked at each other, and immediately understood Pan Shi's intention for inviting them here.

Master Pan wants them to slap those big families in the face!
"These people don't even think about it. If the rebels really invade the city, who will lose then?" Steward Pan said angrily. His master took the lead and donated all the glutinous rice on the Pan family's villages When they came out, those people were ashamed to say that they donated three to five hundred catties or a hundred taels of silver. The sum of dozens of people was not enough for his master to donate too much!

Before meeting those people, Mi Congcong would not comment on Pan Butler's words.

When he arrived at Pan's house, Mi Congcong saw [-] or [-] people sitting in the main hall of Pan's house, among them were some familiar faces, namely Guo Hongyuan's uncle, father and uncle.

"Grandma Lou, why are you here?" Master Guo Er was surprised when he saw Mi Congcong, and got up to say hello.

He also just learned from his wife that his son's fairy teacher friend turned out to be a daughter.

Mi Congcong is wearing women's clothing. As soon as she came in, someone said dissatisfiedly: "Master Pan, what are you asking a woman to do?"

Mi Congcong greeted Mr. Guo Er with a nod of his head, and then cast a mocking glance at everyone in the hall: "I'm just here today to raise donations, so what does it matter if I'm a man or a woman? Do you think I can't do my best for the people of Feiyu County because I'm a woman?"

One of them, a fat middle-aged man in his forties with a shiny face, snorted coldly: "What can you, a woman, produce?"

A middle-aged man sitting next to the fat man smiled and said, but his eyes were full of contempt: "Master He, you can't say that, any woman from a rich family has some decent jewelry on hand, if this lady can put the jewelry If you donate it, you may be able to buy a hundred and eighty catties of glutinous rice."

As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, the others laughed, but the smiles were all contemptuous.

"That's true," Fatty He looked at Mi Congcong from top to bottom, and said with disdain, "Just looking at the clothes on this lady, even if you donate jewelry, it may be limited, right?"

Master Guo Er hesitated to speak, and wanted to remind Fatty He not to underestimate Grandma Lou.

At this time, Gu Yu smiled and said, "My master is a woman, so naturally I can't donate more than the elders. My master donated all the glutinous rice on our village, not much, only eighty shi!"

This amount was negotiated by them on the way here, more than half of it came from Lou Chenxiao's village, and Mi Congcong decided to donate the glutinous rice.

As soon as Gu Yu said this, the faces of everyone present changed, especially Fatty He and the middle-aged man beside him, the sarcasm on their faces froze before it faded away.

"In addition," Gu Yu was very satisfied with the silence at the moment, and continued: "If this battle really breaks out, our medical clinic on Xieyang Street will try its best to accept all the injured, and donate unique wound medicine to treat the injured. Contribute to the medicine!"

Except for Master Pan, who looked relieved, and Master Guo Er, who looked complicated, the expressions of the other elders were all distorted, after all, they had just been slapped in the face.

Mi Congcong saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and smiled slightly: "The little girl's family background is average, that's all she can do, and I hope you gentlemen don't make jokes!"

This is a great irony!

Everyone seemed to be slapped again.

After finishing speaking, Mi Congcong said to Pan Shi again: "Master Pan, I have sent someone to prepare the medicinal materials. The 80 or so stone glutinous rice will be delivered to the city gate tomorrow morning, but I have a proposal."

"Grandma Lou, please tell me." Pan Shi really wanted to invite Mi Congcong to come to town, but he didn't expect that she would have made preparations in advance, and she would make such a generous offer and give him strong support, which moved him Besides, he was very angry.

If a woman can do this for the people of Feiyu County, don't these dog-like elders feel ashamed if they don't know?
