Chapter 141 Support Arrives
Because of Mu Gu's identity as the seventh prince, some difficulties in Qizhou City were quickly resolved.
……
Xiao Ruge's senior brother Lan Shi brought Chang Ying, Su Shang and Yuan Ying and several other junior brothers and sisters down the mountain, quickly rushed to Qizhou City, and brought a lot of medicinal herbs.
Upon hearing that several senior brothers had arrived, Xiao Ruge ran out happily. As soon as she stepped out of the gate of the County Magistrate's Mansion, she saw the third senior sister Yuan Ying directing others to unload the truck.
Ten cartloads of medicinal materials were moved into the county magistrate's mansion in an orderly manner.
"Third Senior Sister!"
"Little Nine!"
When Yuan Ying heard the voice, he turned around and saw Xiao Ruge dressed in men's clothes. He happily ran over and hugged her.
"It's been a long time since we last met. I miss you so much!"
Yuan Ying's real age is almost fifty years old, but Bianzhou pays attention to health preservation, and his disciples like to study some dietary recipes. Over time, they look like they are only about thirty years old.
A woman who looked to be in her thirties was hugging a "boy" of eighteen or nineteen years old tightly. Mrs. Chang, who was standing by, widened her eyes at the scene.
"Senior Sister, I miss you too!"
Xiao Ruge also hugged Yuan Ying tightly.
Because she was still young when she went up the mountain, she was Bianzhou's last disciple. As the eldest senior sister, she was a few years older than her mother.
So when they were in Wuai Mountain, Senior Sister Yuanying took on the role of a mother and took care of the youngest sister, Xiao Ruge.
"I heard that it was the eldest brother who brought you here. Where are the other brothers? Is the master okay?"
Xiao Ruge was so excited that she kept asking Yuan Ying questions.
Yuan Ying brought his young apprentice with him this time. After calling him over to greet Xiao Ruge, he asked the young apprentice to watch the people unloading the truck, while he took Xiao Ruge into the county magistrate's mansion.
"Since the beginning of winter, Qizhou has suffered from snowstorms of varying degrees. Last month, Master took the fifth junior brother and several others down the mountain. They should also be in Qizhou now, but I don't know where exactly."
Hearing that the master had already taken people down the mountain, Xiao Ruge admired him but also felt a little worried.
After all, the master is old. After this year, he will be 101 years old. If there is something to do, he can just let his disciples do it. But this old man can't sit still. He is still running around at his age.
Seeing the worry in Xiao Ruge's eyes, Yuan Ying didn't think there was anything wrong. He smiled and whispered a few words in her ear, and then Xiao Ruge laughed.
It turned out that the master had made his mistress angry, so he ran away under the pretext of the snowstorm.
"Originally, the affairs on the mountain were handled by the eldest brother and the others, but after receiving your letter, the mistress immediately decided to let us all go down the mountain and she would be in charge of the mountain."
After Yuan Ying and Xiao Ruge sat down, they talked about what happened on the mountain.
"There's nothing serious happening on the mountain, and Bian Heng is here too, so nothing will happen."
"Is Senior Brother Bian Heng back? How was his trip to the Western Regions this time? Did he find any medicinal herbs?"
Bianheng was Bianzhou's only son, and also his late-born son, who was born when he was in his fifties.
He got married a few years ago, and his wife's health has not been good after giving birth, so he went to the Western Regions half a year ago to find medicine for his wife. When he passed by the northern border, he also went to see Xiao Ruge.
"Found it, and my sister-in-law is in much better health than before."
Although he said this, there was still worry in Yuanying's eyes.
When they were in the mountains, Yuanying had the best relationship with Bianheng's wife Zhen. Seeing that she was in poor health, Yuanying felt bad too.
Xiao Ruge knew as soon as she saw it that Zhen's health would not be easily recovered. Even if she found a miraculous elixir, it would only prolong her life a little bit.
"Everyone has their own destiny. Although my sister-in-law can't go out often due to her health condition, it's good to be able to stay with Senior Brother Bian Heng every day!"
Xiao Ruge advised with a smile.
Yuan Ying smiled and nodded, "You're right, it's a blessing to be able to be with the one you love forever!"
"By the way, where are the eldest, second, and fourth brothers?"
Bai Yang had already reported to Xiao Ruge that her first four senior brothers came together this time, but now she only saw the third senior sister, so she asked a question.
"When I came here just now, I happened to meet the Seventh Prince and Lord Chang. The eldest brother took the two brothers to the City God Temple first."
They came down the mountain this time to save the dying and the wounded. Although they were a bit rushed along the way, they were not very tired. So after entering the city, they ran to check on the patients' conditions as soon as possible.
Yuan Ying and his men moved cartloads of medicinal herbs into the county magistrate's mansion. Although Qizhou City had the supplies brought by Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu, there were not many edible things.
In the evening, Mrs. Chang racked her brains to cook four dishes, all of which were dried vegetables.
She stood in the kitchen a little awkwardly, wondering if these dishes would satisfy the doctors at Wuai Mountain.
In order to make up for the shortfall, she specifically ordered someone to steam some dry rice, hoping that it wouldn't be too shabby.
Mu Gu, Lan Shi and others did not come back until it was completely dark. Madam Chang asked the servant to fetch water for everyone to wash their hands, and told a little maid beside her to put the food on the table.
Looking at her husband with a smile on his face, Mrs. Chang pulled him aside and expressed her concerns.
"These are the only dishes we can cook. What if they are not satisfied?"
Seeing his wife's worried look, Chang Yunfei smiled and patted his wife's arm, comforting her softly: "Don't worry, the people coming down from Wuai Mountain won't care about these. Since they are here, they must know that the conditions here are difficult."
After hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Chang felt relieved. However, she kept her eyes on the people washing their hands, fearing that others would think she was being negligent and causing trouble for her husband.
"Mrs. Chang, there is still some time before the Chinese New Year, why is the meal so sumptuous today?"
Mu Gu was the first to speak. He looked at the four dishes on the table and was so happy.
Since coming here with Xiao Ruge, it’s not that the food is bad, but due to limited conditions, I can only drink porridge and eat pickles every day, and only eat dried vegetables occasionally.
So when he saw that there were four stir-fried dishes today, Mu Gu was a little excited.
Mrs. Chang thought Mu Gu was making fun of her, but when she saw the joy in his eyes and that he had taken a bite with chopsticks first, she finally relaxed.
"It's not that we wanted to cook more dishes just because we have distinguished guests from Wuai Mountain. But our Qizhou City has been hit by a disaster, and there is really not much we can do. Even if we try our best, we can only do these. Please forgive us, distinguished guests."
Lan Shi had just washed his hands and came over, and he didn't seem unhappy about Mu Gu picking up his chopsticks first.
"Special times call for special treatment. This is already good enough!"
They had only eaten dry steamed buns at noon. Now they had just returned at this time, so Lan Shi and the others were already hungry. They said a few polite words to Mrs. Chang and sat down to eat.
