Chapter 484 Articles

While Shen Yueyao was eating, her mind was full of plans on how to build Hezhou.

As Su Wanhua spoke, she felt relieved when she saw Su Xueyi's confident and calm expression.

She knew that Su Xueyi had been smart since she was a child, not to mention that she had won the top spot in the imperial examination and had done so many things that benefited the people.

Since he has a way, then he must have a way.

Even her son Dong Wenren only believed in Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao.

Su Wanhua smiled and said, "Since you said there is a way, Auntie will be relieved."

"Come on, let's not talk about this for now. Eat quickly and eat more."

"Just treat yourselves as if you were at home here with your aunt. There are no restrictions. The rooms are ready for you."

Su Wanhua hopes that Su Xueyi and the others can eat well and rest well here.

Just looking at them, Su Wanhua felt as if she had returned to her girlhood.

It was as if she had returned to the time when her father and brother were still alive, and she felt relaxed.

Su Wanhua always had a smile on her face.

The old women and maids around Su Wanhua were all shocked by the expression and smile on her face.

It turns out that the lady can laugh so happily.

Su Wanhua didn't care about eating the whole time and kept picking up food.

"Come on, eat more."

"I remember you loved this dish when you were a kid. I asked the kitchen to make it specially for you. Try it and see how it tastes."

"Yao Niang, come here. I heard from my sister-in-law that you like to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms. I made it according to the method my sister-in-law told me. The ingredients are very fresh..."

"Come, Dabao and Erbao, eat this. Erya, come, eat more..."

Su Wanhua looked at everyone eating happily and felt happier than she herself.

Su Xueyi looked at the food on the table and could tell that her aunt had put a lot of thought into it.

They are all special dishes from Beijing.

I still remember when I was a child, the Su family mansion and achievements were still there. At that time, when the family ate together, the kitchen would cook some dishes.

It’s their taste, with some Liuzhou specialties added in.

Shen Yueyao's expression changed.

She does like to eat chicken stew with mushrooms, and she especially likes to drink fresh chicken soup.

Because although the food culture in ancient times was backward, everything in ancient times was purely natural.

The roosters and hens on the market are all raised on a diet of grains and cereals, without any technological products.

So the chicken tastes very fresh.

It can be seen that my aunt really put a lot of effort into preparing dinner.

Shen Yueyao's heart was touched, "Aunt, you should eat more on weekdays."

Su Wanhua nodded and said, "My appetite is much better now. I eat more than before."

"I also walk around every day after dinner. What's more, following your method, I feel much more relaxed and sleep well every day."

Su Wanhua felt that she slept better, her body felt lighter, and she was willing to eat more.

In this way, everyone talked together and had a great time.

After dinner, Shen Yueyao was worried that Su Ruoyun and Dabao and Erbao were tired, so she asked them to go to bed first.

Shen Yueyao accompanied Su Wanhua to her room to give her acupuncture treatment.

Shen Yueyao uses acupuncture, which is actually more of an auxiliary to Reiki treatment.

Through acupuncture, spiritual energy is infused into it and flows into the whole body, repairing Su Wanhua's body meridians, nervous system and other aspects.

Now Shen Yueyao's mental strength is very strong, and her spiritual power is also very powerful, so using this will not have any impact at all.

Su Wanhua felt very comfortable all over and slowly fell asleep during the acupuncture.

After a quarter of an hour, the acupuncture was completed and Shen Yueyao pulled out the silver needle.

Su Wanhua also slowly woke up.

Su Wanhua was stunned for a moment and said, "Did I just fall asleep?"

Why did she fall asleep without feeling anything?

"Well, how are you feeling, auntie?"

Su Wanhua stood up, and in an instant, she felt like a completely different person.

“I…I…”

"It's amazing! I feel light and powerful again, and my hands are full of energy."

Although she said she felt much better before, she still felt weak and powerless.

But this will be completely different.

Su Wanhua looked at Shen Yueyao in shock and excitement.

She grabbed Shen Yueyao's hand and said, "Sister-in-law and Wenren both said that you are a miracle doctor. I have indeed recovered well by following the method you said. I also knew that you are a miracle doctor, but I didn't expect that you are even better than I thought."

Just acupuncture worked immediately.

She really found it incredible.

She had a headache before, but now her head felt light.

There is a feeling of regaining youth.

It seems like they can jump.

Su Wanhua held Shen Yueyao's hand, and was so excited that she couldn't say anything else.

"Auntie wants to kneel down for you."

This frightened Shen Yueyao, "Aunt, please don't do that. You're embarrassing me. You don't have to do that to family members."

"But Auntie is still so grateful to you that I don't know how to repay you."

Yes, that’s how Su Wanhua feels.

She didn't even know how to thank Shen Yueyao.

"Even Fumihito is grateful to you. He said that by following your dietary regimen and adding the Tai Chi you taught him, his physical fitness has become much stronger."

Scholars who have been inactive for many years are somewhat weak.

But now, Fumihito says in his letters that he is in much better health.

The power is also much stronger than before.

He would get up every morning to practice Tai Chi, have breakfast, and then go to the Hanlin Academy.

Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "As long as Auntie thinks it works, that's fine."

"This is a medicinal bath recipe I wrote. Soaking in hot water in a tub according to this recipe is good for your health."

Su Wanhua nodded continuously.

She did as Shen Yueyao said.

After Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi chatted with their aunt for a while, they returned to the room their aunt had prepared for them to rest.

At this time, the eldest and second babies were still lying on the bed talking, and they were not asleep.

"Why aren't you sleeping?"

Dabao said seriously: "Wait for mom and dad to sleep together."

Su Xueyi stroked their hair and said, "You are four years old now. You can't sleep with your parents anymore."

Su Xueyi seems gentle, but she is still very strict with her children.

He stopped sleeping with his parents when he was two years old.

Perhaps when they were one year old, they were placed in a separate room and slept under the supervision of a maid or wet nurse.

Su Xueyi felt that Dabao and Erbao were already being spoiled.

Erbao said, "But we are outside, with our parents here, we can sleep well."

Shen Yueyao's heart softened and she said, "Okay, you guys sleep with your parents."

Su Xueyi looked at Shen Yueyao and her expression changed.

He knew that his Yao Niang had a soft heart.

Sometimes, no matter what the eldest and second child want to do, she will usually agree to it.

Shen Yueyao looked at Su Xueyi and said, “I know that big families are stricter in educating their children.”

"But they might not be able to adapt to the unfamiliar environment, so let them sleep with us."

Su Xueyi raised her eyebrows and looked at Dabao and Erbao, thinking that Yao Niang underestimated them too much.

These two people had no difficulty adapting.

Dabao and Erbao blinked their big eyes and looked at their parents, then quickly turned around, revealing their pitiful little figures.

On the other side, the two brothers looked at each other and thought that they could definitely make their parents soften their hearts.

Su Xueyi looked at them with amusement but didn't expose them.

Shen Yueyao naturally wouldn't think too much about it.

In her opinion, the two babies are usually very sensible. If they want to sleep with them, it must be because they are not used to the unfamiliar environment.

Seeing that their parents had no objection, the two babies' dimples were revealed.

Shen Yueyao got on the bed and put the pillows in place, "Okay, you two sleep in the middle."

In this way, she and Su Xueyi slept on both sides.

The two babies rocked back and forth excitedly, with happy smiles on their faces.

"Mom, can I hear a story?"

They want to hear a bedtime story.

Shen Yueyao found it a little funny. Dabao and Erbao liked listening to stories, and Ruoyun also liked listening to stories.

"Okay, then let me tell you a story, the story of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru."

I told Ruoyun the stories of returning the jade intact to Zhao on the boat before, and this time I told them to Dabao and Erbao as well.

Dabao and Erbao blinked their big eyes and listened attentively.

Shen Yueyao held a palm-leaf fan in her hand and fanned them while she spoke.

After they finished listening, they were still very excited and wanted to listen more, with no intention of sleeping at all.

"Mom, we classmates all like to listen to the stories you tell us."

"Yes, they love listening to our stories the most."

"We told them the story of Journey to the West."

"They also said there's no Sun Wukong..."

Listening to Dabao and Erbao's childish words, Shen Yueyao couldn't help laughing.

Shen Yueyao felt that there was constant laughter and joy along the way with Dabao and Erbao.

Just looking at them would make her feel good.

If I don’t take my eldest and second child with me, she might miss them a lot.

"They also like to listen to the story of Journey to the West."

"Yeah, everyone likes to listen to it. During lunch, they kept pestering us to tell them about it and even brought us delicious and fun things."

"I don't know how our classmates are doing now, but we promised to draw pictures of the scenery for them and write articles..."

"We also need to communicate through letters..."

Dabao and Erbao actually wanted to go to the same school, but they wanted to go to Hezhou with their parents more.

The two brothers also discussed privately that they could see more things by going out.

The Master also said that many people would travel to study after passing the examination for the title of scholar, but they would usually travel to study after they grew up.

But they think that studying abroad early can help them learn things earlier.

And I can stay with my parents.

My mother also said that there are many delicious foods in Hezhou.

Su Xueyi looked at them with a smile, and there was a gentle gleam in her eyes.

Looking at them, his heart was filled with warmth.

It was quite late before the eldest and second baby were finally tired enough to fall asleep.

Shen Yueyao looked at Su Xueyi and said, "You haven't slept yet?"

"Well, I'll wait for you."

No matter what time it was, Su Xueyi was used to waiting for Yao Niang to sleep together.

Even when she was doing something, he would usually read a book beside her and accompany her silently.

When Shen Yueyao met Su Xueyi's eyes, she felt sweet in her heart.

When the family is together, no matter where we go, we will feel at ease.

"Are we leaving for Hezhou tomorrow?"

Su Xueyi said, "The day after tomorrow, let's see if my uncle can come back tomorrow."

Shen Yueyao said, "My uncle is off to deal with the Black Panther Gang. Two days might not be enough time to go back and forth."

"But it's just a good opportunity for me to take care of my aunt's body, so that she will be fine."

Su Xueyi wanted to say thank you for your hard work, but such words were too pale and powerless.

He reached out and touched Shen Yueyao’s hair.

Shen Yueyao said: "Actually, Hezhou and Liuzhou are very close. We can come back to visit my aunt and uncle when we have time."

"Yeah, okay."

In fact, although they said so, they all knew that they would be busy when they went to Hezhou.

But they are all determined to govern Hezhou well.

…

After a good night's sleep, Shen Yueyao and the others chatted with Su Wanhua the next day.

Su Wanhua originally wanted to take them out for a walk, but thinking that it was too hot in the summer, she didn't go out.

In the evening, Dong Zhiye came back with his men.

Dong Zhiye was also very excited when he saw Su Xueyi and the others.

I took Su Xueyi to the study and talked for a long time.

This time, Dong Zhiye brought all the members of the Black Panther Gang to prison and will report the truth to the court.

"On the way back, the people at the dock and along the streets were very excited when they learned that the Black Panther Gang had been dealt with."

“There were people watching along the way.”

"You don't know that the Black Panther Gang is so rampant in robbing passing ships along the river that it has never been dealt with."

"They are good at swimming. Many of our guards are not very good at swimming either. Moreover, if we go out, they always seem to know the news in advance."

Ever since Dong Zhiye became the prefect of Liuzhou, he has always wanted to solve the problem of coastal bandits.

But it's not that easy.

He had just taken over Liuzhou not long ago, and some of the people were people left behind by previous officials.

Therefore, replacing staff is not something that can be solved in a short period of time.

"This time, after receiving the letter, I brought with me the group of people I used when I was the county magistrate. These people are very reliable, so the news will naturally not leak out."

"But the letter you gave me said that it's okay to leak the news. I just need to bring people back. I didn't expect it to be true."

He knew the place and brought these people back without any effort.

"On the way back, the people were cheering and saying that no Black Panther Gang would dare to rob the ship anymore."

"The Black Panther Gang is the most rampant..."

Dong Zhiye was very excited that he had solved the problem, and couldn't help but share his excitement with Su Xueyi.

Su Xueyi looked at her uncle and thought he was a very nice person.

He knew that his uncle also wanted to get things done.

"My dear nephew, your uncle must thank you very much." With this achievement, it is useless for others to suppress him.

"Uncle is too polite to me. We are all family."

"Today, my aunt mentioned that my uncle treated her very well. It was because of my uncle that my aunt recovered."

Talking about this, Dong Zhiye's eyes were red, "I didn't expect the Dong family would do that. I made her suffer because of me."

Dong Zhiye and Su Wanhua have a deep relationship.

He never regretted leaving the Dong family. Even if he was expelled from the clan, he still wanted to be with Wan Hua.

Now their son has become successful, Wanhua is in good health, and he has become a prefect. Everything is going in a good direction.

He was also filled with emotion.

It’s no use for those people in the Dong family to regret now.

Those people in the Dong family probably could not have imagined that the Su family would be able to revive and become the family that the emperor values ​​most.

Now it’s useless for the Dong family to control them.

When the Dong family expelled them from the clan, they had nothing to do with the Dong family anymore.

Now he doesn't have to be constrained by anything and can do his job well.

When he was young, he was full of passion and wanted to make some political achievements for the people.

"Xue Yi, thank you so much."

Dong Zhiye is very happy now. In Liuzhou, he is the prefect, the highest-ranking official, and no one can restrain him.

He can let go and govern Liuzhou well.

Moreover, he was also listed with the emperor thanks to his relationship with the Su family.

He can also do good things for the people.

This is what he wanted to do when he was young, and now he can do it, and he is very happy.

Even at this age, I still have a passion to serve my country.

Dong Zhiye was also grateful to Su Xueyi from the bottom of his heart.

Apart from saying thank you, he really didn't know how to express his gratitude to Xue Yi.

Su Xueyi could understand Dong Zhiye's feelings and said, "Uncle, there's no need to thank me."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let me tell you about the situation in Hezhou..."

Dong Zhiye is an official, and he is close to Hezhou, so he knows more about Hezhou.

Su Xueyi nodded and listened carefully.

After finishing speaking, Dong Zhiye talked about how he dealt with the Black Panther Gang this time and also brought back some innocent people.

"I'll have someone register where their homes are and arrange for someone to take them back."

"The Black Panthers killed a group of people. These people were weak and were kept by the Black Panthers to do odd jobs, such as cooking, chopping wood, and mending clothes..."

The Black Panther Gang was engaged in murder and robbery, but they were human beings and needed food, shelter and necessities, so they captured people along the way.

After intercepting the cargo ship and capturing people, they would kill the useless ones and let those who could do something but seemed to have no strength to work for the Black Panther Gang.

Speaking of this, Dong Zhiye sighed.

When he went there, he clearly saw that some people were extremely skinny.

Fortunately, the Black Panther Gang’s problem has been resolved now.

After handling the matter, he had to write a memorial to the court.

However, this also made him realize Su Xueyi's abilities.

He is truly a man of both civil and military talents.

Su Xueyi nodded and said, "Well, uncle will make the arrangements."

"If some people have nowhere to go and it's inconvenient for my uncle to arrange it, we can let them go to Hezhou."

"Hezhou has a lot of land, but Yao Niang and I have been discussing planting some high-yield crops on those lands."

“People will also be needed to go back and plant when the time comes.”

Dong Zhiye's expression changed when he heard this and he said, "This is a good idea. With farmland to cultivate, those refugees will want to return to their homeland and make a living by farming."

To put it bluntly, many of those people are ordinary farmers, but their fields were submerged by floods, and many fields turned into sandy land, making it impossible to farm, so they had to go out to make a living.

He knew that fields and food were the foundation of people's livelihood.

…

In the evening, Dong Zhiye and Su Wanhua were lying on the bed and talking about these things, and he sighed a lot.

"Xue Yi is a truly brilliant child. No wonder the Emperor values ​​him so much."

Dong Zhiye couldn't help but sigh and praise.

Su Wanhua said, "He was extremely intelligent when he was young, a man of both literary and martial talents. The eldest was good at martial arts, the second was good at reading, but the third was a man of both literary and martial talents, extremely intelligent. Even my father praised him endlessly."

"He was a child prodigy at that time. If the Su family had not been exiled, with his ability, he would have been able to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar long ago."

"But it's good now. He and Yao Niang cooperate with each other, and many things are no longer a problem in their hands."

“Although the situation in Rivers State is complicated, I am confident they will handle it well.”

Dong Zhiye nodded and said, "Yes, they already have a plan in mind."

Some of the ideas shocked him.

"The most important thing is that we have a lot of high-yield crop seeds. One mu of land can produce 1,000 kilograms of yield. The two people also left some for us so that we can find a farm to plant them first. When we have more, we can promote them."

Su Wanhua's expression changed as she said, "If we can provide the local people with one or two specialties, or if we can produce high-yield crops per acre, the local people won't have to suffer from hunger or cold."

"Yes, that's what I thought."

"Xue Yi said that the emperor also wants the people of the entire Great Yan Dynasty to have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear."

Su Wanhua's expression changed as she said, "The emperor is a good emperor. I met him in the past. When he was still a prince, he studied with my father. He saw the suffering of the people and had kindness in his heart."

"So you should be the governor of Liuzhou."

"Yeah, naturally."

Su Wanhua and Dong Zhiye talked for a long time. Seeing that she looked very energetic, Dong Zhiye was a little puzzled. "You usually feel sleepy at this time of the day, why are you so energetic today?"

Not only that, but looking at his wife's appearance, she also looks very good.

Su Wanhua said: "Of course it was Yao Niang who took care of my body. I slept very well last night."

"I feel very energetic and refreshed all day long."

"Yao Niang's medical skills are really not exaggerated. Calling her a miracle doctor is an understatement."
