Listening to Zhou Chengling talk about government affairs during these days, Yang Mo couldn't help but be concerned, "Have you found the money that Feng Dang embezzled?"
Zhou Chengling smiled slightly and said, "Who said it must be money? I found some grain crops, which are just used for disaster relief. I have already written a memorial and am just waiting for the emperor's decision."
Using food instead of money would make disaster relief seem logical, and the emperor would not use it for other purposes.
"Not only can it provide disaster relief, but it can also be used to pay for the military. Dong Zhao is in short supply of military supplies. If we don't make up for it, we may not be able to win the war."
They couldn't find the money that was greedy for ink, let alone let it go to the Shangqing Courtyard and burn it up in the alchemy furnace. So Zhou Chengling came up with a way to get food. Yang Mo raised her head and said, "Where did you get so much food?"
Zhou Chengling said: "I have been keeping an eye on Feng Guochang for more than a day or two. Now that Feng Guochang has been arrested, if he tortures Feng Dang a few more times, he will probably know the money that is corrupt, and then use the money that is corrupt to requisition rice grains from the local wealthy gentry."
Yang Mo was still a little worried, "Will the emperor notice it?"
"No, the court is still arresting people involved with Feng Guochang. Now everyone in the court is in danger. No one will stand up and speak out at this time. Those rich gentry usually collude with Feng Dang. If they don't take it, I will naturally
There are ways to rectify it.”
Yang Mo said softly: "What about Liu Yantian? What will you say if Liu Yantian is investigated?"
Zhou Chengling said: "Since the last secret incident, Liu Yantian has been using caution. Even if I ask him to find out, he will think that it is a trap set by me, and he will not dare to jump casually. Some things cannot be missed and will not come back again. Wait.
When he came to his senses, the imperial court had distributed the rice and grain for the disaster relief, and all the money had been exchanged for military supplies. Can he still snatch grain from the victims and the military generals at Wubian?"
Yang Mo's mind flashed to Liu Yantian's expression of jumping to grab food.
Really, Liu Yantian, a fat official in the capital, no matter what position he stood on, could not compete with Wu Bian soldiers and victims for food, otherwise how could he continue to act as a loyal minister serving the country and the people.
Zhou Chengling did everything in one go, leaving no room for him to fight back.
He knows where other people's weaknesses are, and if he stabs them with a knife, blood will definitely come out.
However, we still cannot underestimate the enemy. After all, the emperor is very afraid of Zhou Chengling.
Yang Mo nodded, "You have just returned to the court, so you'd better be careful." She helped him move his arms. It was obvious that he had been holding pens too much recently, and it would hurt if he stretched them even slightly.
"Less riding, less talking, less writing," Yang Mo paused, "Does your head still hurt?"
Zhou Chengling said: "It hurts."
"You deserve it." She usually would not be so rude to patients. She could only scold a disobedient patient with a straight face, so that he could be honest for a few days.
Fortunately, since Zhou Chengling blatantly gave the betrothal gift, every time she went to Cining Palace to treat the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager never showed any intention of carrying her into the palace.
Yang Mo never met Liu Yanning again in Cining Palace.
The days went on peacefully like this.
…
The betrothal gifts given by Zhou Chengling were not only numerous, but also of various types. For example, he gave a cart of stone cauliflower. Although he did not say it was a betrothal gift, since it was given to her, it should be included in it.
Gelidium is used to boil agar. It is the most economical and practical. Once boiled out, it can be used to cultivate bacteria. She has already had someone build a greenhouse. She taught Zhu Shan how to put bacteria on agar and put them into an incubator.
Within, see the results after cultivating for twelve hours.
She tries her best to teach everyone what she knows. It may not yield immediate results, but she believes that knowing such a method will yield results one day, because she clearly knows the process of history and has it in her hands.
For everything that can be successful, the next step is to test which way can achieve the final result.
Once you know this process, you can make more things in the future.
Zhu Shan stayed outside the greenhouse all night. The next day when he saw something growing on the agar, he was stunned. Before Yang Mo could say anything, Zhu Shan cried, "I obviously saw it.
How could it become like this?"
Wei Mao and others tried to persuade her to no avail, but Yang Mo came over and took a look at the agar, "This is normal. We just need to let these sick things multiply at the right temperature, so that we can find a way to do it."
Take medicine to see which medicine can reduce these things."
Zhu Shan and others listened carefully.
Yang Mo said: "Now let's try the medicine we made before."
Zhu Shan hurriedly brought the medicine that he had made before, and Yang Mo gave a demonstration. He put the paper soaked in the medicine into the middle of the agar-cultured bacteria. After Yang Mo finished putting it, he covered the medium with the lid, and then he and Zhu Shan worked together.
Come out of the greenhouse and talk.
"As long as you enter the greenhouse, you cannot talk. If you sneeze, everything you say will be useless. You must dress neatly before entering the greenhouse. Do not breathe into the culture medium. The jars containing the culture medium must be steamed at high temperature. Use in the greenhouse
Everything must be sterilized. If a batch of medicine is not effective, it will be re-started. All pharmaceutical steps must be recorded clearly. As long as the medicine has an effect, a second test must be carried out immediately. Only after three repeated tests have the effect can it be considered
A new drug was made.”
"Even if we make some new drugs, we may not be able to make more the second time, just like the anesthetics we used before, we may not be able to make more every time."
Zhu Shan already knew this.
Yang Mo looked at Zhu Shan and said, "The two medicines we are making now are urgently needed. You need to ask a few more people to take turns making them. If they are made a day earlier, they can be used to save people."
Zhu Shan hurriedly opened his mouth.
Because of Zhou Chengling's illness, she made up her mind to study modern Western medicine, at least to make medicines that did not require synthesis but only needed to be refined.
After leaving Zhuangzi, Yang Mo went straight to Yan's house.
After seeing Mrs. Yan Ge, Mrs. Yan invited Yang Mo into Mrs. Yan's room to talk.
Although Mr. Yan Ge's illness was not good, the Yan family did not rush to ask Yang Mo what to do. Instead, Mrs. Yan smiled and said: "Today is the third day of February!"
Hearing Mrs. Yan say this, Yang Mo realized that the wedding day was just around the corner.
Mrs. Yan said: "It's rare that your mother can still let you go out."
After saying this, someone came to report, "Grandma Third Aunt is back."
After a while, Miss Yan San entered the door. Everyone saluted each other. Miss Yan San quickly picked up Yang Mo and asked, "How dare you come out and wander around? Everything is ready?"
Yang Mo nodded, "It's ready. We will move back to the ancestral home tomorrow morning. I want to get married from the ancestral home."
Miss Yan San and Yang Mo asked almost in unison, "How are you?"
Miss Yan San blushed with embarrassment, and Yang Mo also felt a little hot at the base of her ears.
Mrs. Yan stood up and made an excuse to go to the inner room with Mrs. Yan, leaving Miss Yan San to talk to Yang Mo.
Yang Mo looked at Miss Yan San, "How is your husband's family treating you?"
Miss Yan San looked to the side, waited for the servant to move away, and then whispered: "My mother-in-law is not easy to deal with. I have to go there early every day to say hello. I don't dare to move my chopsticks too much when eating. It's not as good as at home, but other people
Everything is fine, the Marquis also said that I should hold on for a few days, and it will be fine after a while when my mother-in-law is satisfied."
After Yang Mo heard this, she felt relieved for Miss Yan San. This was better for her. There were no elders in Zhou Chengling's family, but she still had to meet the elders from the clan camp. Fortunately, Princess Xian loved her, so she was not sad at this point.
Miss Yan San whispered: "Don't even think about being idle. You can't live without your elders on your wedding day. The Zhou family will be enough for you to recognize them for a while."
But no, in terms of big families, who can compare with the Zhou family now? Zhou Chengling must have sent out a lot of wedding invitations, and the Zhou family doesn't know how many banquets they will hold.
Thinking about it this way makes people really nervous.
"It doesn't matter. I will just listen to the sister-in-law in the clan to help me recognize the bride. It doesn't matter if I remember or not, no one will embarrass the bride. You just need to remember that you are the best on the day of the wedding. If anyone has problems, you will show your embarrassment.
Naturally, someone will come to the rescue, and no one wants to mess up the marriage."
Yang Mo nodded, and Miss Yan San passed on all her experience to her.
"I will go over to help when the time comes. Who is the Quanfu person you are looking for?"
Yang Mo said: "It's Mrs. Cheng."
Mrs. Cheng has parents and children. They are a loving couple. Aunt Lu went to Cheng's house and asked Mrs. Cheng to comb her hair.
Speaking of this, Yang Mo felt that marriage was still far away from her, and she could still be confused for a few days.
But the past few days have gone by so fast and it’s here in a blink of an eye.
Before dawn, Yang Mingshi went into the house to relax. Yang Mo got up from the bed, but she didn't feel sleepy at all. She didn't sleep much that night.
Mrs. Cheng smiled and entered the door. Seeing that Yang Mo was not ready, she said, "Hurry up and move. I think Master Zhou Shi's sedan chair will arrive early. The gatekeepers can't compete with Master Zhou. The door will be opened soon."
We will be called away, and if we are not ready then, it will become a joke."
Everyone's smiles were bright, especially Aunt Lu's eyes, which seemed to be shining with tears. Yang Mo didn't dare to look at Aunt Lu, and couldn't help but feel a sore nose even after taking a look at her, as if she was about to part with the person closest to her.
After today, although she is still Yang Mo and Aunt Lu is still her biological mother, they cannot be together every day.
Although leaving the cabinet makes people happy, it also makes people sad.
From then on, she was not completely a daughter, but also another person's wife.
"Auntie," Yang Mo called Auntie Lu.
Their eyes met, and both of them turned red.
"Look at this big day," Mrs. Cheng smiled and took Aunt Lu's hand, "This is a good thing."
Aunt Lu said hurriedly: "It's a good thing, it's a good thing. I am also happy and shed tears."
Yang Mo sat on the stool, and everyone immediately started busy according to the rules. Mrs. Yan and Miss Yan San also came to help, and the room suddenly became lively.
At first, Yang Mo could still recognize everyone who was coming and going in the room. Later, there were more and more people, and unfamiliar faces began to appear. Yang Mo put on a bright red wedding dress, and her mother-in-law began to help her put on makeup.
Luo Zida painted long eyebrows on her temples, painted her cheeks with golden flower swallow sticks, and then applied lipstick. Finally, she put various headdresses on her head, one by one. Yang Mo felt that her head was getting heavier and heavier.
Before all the headgear and face were put on, there was a burst of firecrackers outside.
