In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, so walking is very slow. Not long after walking, it will get dark. Fortunately, there is a city ahead this time. The officials of the city received the news and cleared the road early to greet them.
The Crown Princess's car stopped in front of the city gate, raised the curtains of the car, exchanged a few words with the officials, and then went to rest in a villa donated by a wealthy noble family.
After entering the villa, there was a lot of entertainment, and the local female family members were waiting, and they didn't disperse until nightfall.
The whole villa was lit with lights, the snow had stopped, and the flowers and trees on the house floor were dotted with crystal white. It was beautiful, but it was also very cold.
Yao Fu stood outside the hall for a long time. After the palace ladies in the hall finished speaking and left, she walked in after the announcement. She saw Crown Princess Yao Min taking off her makeup, taking off her gold and silver jewelry, and having a maid comb her hair.
.
Without gold, silver, jewelry and gorgeous clothes, Yao Min's ordinary appearance is worse than a maid in Yao Fu's eyes, but so what, she was born as the eldest daughter of Yao Shu and was born with good fortune.
"Why haven't you rested yet?" Yao Min asked with his eyes closed.
Yao Fu lowered her eyes to hide her jealousy and said softly: "Sister, the winter in Wu is cold and cold. I asked the people here for some herbs to smoke the house so that the children can have a good sleep. Please take a look first."
She said and brought over a packet of herbs.
"I used this frequently here before, and Le'er slept well."
The princess's children did not use medicine easily. Yao Fu took it, but the wet nurses would not agree.
Yao Min was very accommodating and signaled to the maid beside him: "Go and let the imperial doctor take a look. Use it if you can."
The maid went out with the medicine, and Yao Fu took the opportunity to say, "I'm going to comb my sister's hair." She took the comb and stood over.
Yao Min did not refuse her: "You must be tired along the way."
Yao Fu said: "Fortunately, after all, I have traveled such a long distance, but sister, you are the one who suffers, and the cold weather makes the children suffer even more. I really should wait until spring begins before coming back."
"How can that be done?" Yao Min opened his eyes and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness is in Xijing and will be the last to come. Among the women, I must come first so that the palace can be tidied up so that the queens, queens and princesses can move in with peace of mind."
This kind of hard work is also an honor, and the emperor gave it to her because he trusted her.
Although she had done nothing but gave birth to three children, she was so valued by the emperor. Yao Fu squeezed the comb in her hand - originally she had merit and would be valued by the emperor, but it was a pity that her achievements fell short.
"Are you worried about this so you don't take care of Le'er?" Yao Min asked, shaking his head again, "Actually, you are overthinking it. If you follow my car at this time, the child will not suffer anything."
She was the Crown Princess, and she was respected by officials and nobles wherever she went. No matter how tiring the journey was, she was still very comfortable. Other officials and dignitaries in the court were not treated so well.
Yao Fu lowered her head in shame: "It's because I have limited knowledge."
Yao Min teased her: "You are such a powerful person, but when you become a mother, you only pamper your children."
Yao Fu murmured: "I don't know why I'm like this - especially when I think about him not having a father, my heart is in chaos." Tears fell as she spoke.
Yao Min sighed softly and patted her hand: "Don't worry, what you do will not be in vain, at least it won't be unclear to Leer in the future."
Yao Fu knelt down and choked with sobs: "Thank you sister."
Yao Min pulled her up: "We, our family, my sisters, don't say these disrespectful words, go and have a rest."
Yao Fu responded and retreated.
The maid from before happened to come back and smiled at her: "The imperial doctor has already looked at it and added some medicine. The princess has already used it."
Yao Fu said with great relief: "Then I'll be relieved."
The maid went in again to report to the Crown Princess. Yao Min hummed. The maid picked up the comb and continued to comb her hair. She smiled and said, "Miss Fourth is so attentive and considerate to the child. How could she be willing to leave her own child alone?"
Yao Min closed her eyes and hummed: "I just want to find a good future. The mother-in-law is soft-hearted, and the mother-in-law is very cruel."
Yao Fu didn't hear the conversation between the master and the servant, but it didn't matter if she did. Of course she had to leave the child behind. Otherwise, how could she find new opportunities with a child?
As Yao Fu walked in the villa at night, she could faintly hear the laughter of the palace maids and maids, talking about their longing for life in the new capital.
She is also full of yearning for the new capital, and she wants to get everything that should belong to her.
After the Crown Princess's car drove over, the weather became colder and colder, and more and more people were migrating on the road. The old tea seller's business was as prosperous as the fire in the stove, and Yan'er and other maids were busy helping here.
Without touching the ground, the old tea seller now not only sells tea, but also prepares candied fruits and cakes - as expected of people from the capital, they are very rich, and the candied fruits that could not be sold before are often not enough now.
Taohuaguan also gives out more and more free medicines, and some people take the initiative to ask for them.
Some people arrive in several groups. Every time a new person arrives, someone from the previous arrivals will be sent to pick them up. As time goes by, they become regular visitors to the tea shed and become familiar with the free medicine.
"Miss A Tian." A man wearing a hat who looked like a butler greeted, "Do you still have the herbal tea you made last time to dispel the cold? Our old man drank it a few days ago and said that his legs don't hurt so much anymore.
I want a few more pairs.”
Before A Tian could say anything, the old tea seller raised her voice: "Butler! Just try it, how much do you want to pay?"
The guests next to me also laughed, making uninformed inquiries, informed introductions, and booing.
The butler's face turned red: "No, I'm just saying I'll buy some medicine if I have it."
Ah Tian smiled sweetly: "Yes, yes, but if the old man really wants to drink more, he'd better let our lady take a look first. It's a medicine with three parts poison. Even though it's herbal tea, the dosage is also limited." After that, he continued.
I added, "Housekeeper, don't worry, there is no charge for consultation."
This remark made everyone laugh again.
The housekeeper didn't want to quarrel with a little girl. He had to explain this carefully - he didn't really agree to come here for medical treatment. His old man, not to mention the old Han Legs who had seen him many times, knew how to do it himself.
After a consultation, he said that if he really wanted to see me, he would have to find a famous doctor from a big medical clinic. As for medicinal tea, he could drink it casually if he felt comfortable. It didn't matter if he didn't drink it.
"So what free medicine are there today?" he asked again.
A Tian took out a small bottle: "Today's is the hawthorn pill——"
This is good! This is common. Everyone knows how to use it, and they are not afraid if they eat too much. Immediately, many people stood up with a coax: "Give me some." "I want it too."
Ah Tian was almost knocked down, and the old tea seller took the iron pot and put it on the table.
"Drink tea first," she said. "After drinking three pots of tea, I will give you hawthorn pills!"
The tea shed became lively again. Some people laughed and said, "Those who drink tea must be given hawthorn pills." Some said, "Then does this still count as free medicine? It's added to the tea money!" - But that's not the case.
Would you really blame this old woman? It's not easy for a lonely old woman at a roadside tea stall.
A Tian looked at the bustling tea shed, and saw that someone had indeed started to order three pots of tea, and then waved to her for free medicine. She smiled even more happily, and her whole body was warmed by the stove fire.
Miss's pharmacy is really open, and it will really get better and better in the future.
