Lu Qiqi transmigrated into a chaotic world of famine. With no parents and carrying a little sister in tow, she had to face immense hardship.
On the road during her escape, while others drank ...
Lu Qiqi returned to the military camp and looked at the pile of bundles on the ground, then put them all into her spatial storage.
In hot weather, these dried meats coated with honey not only attract flies, but also attract rats and ants.
Lu Qiqi strongly disliked all three of these small animals.
That night, Lu Qiqi didn't have Nineteen bring her dinner. Instead, she poured herself a small cup of wine and drank it with some dried meat.
The jerky was coated with honey, making it sweet and fragrant, with a unique flavor compared to the previous salty and savory pork jerky.
The liquor served in the military camp was different from ordinary liquor outside; it was all strong liquor.
Lu Qiqi knew her own alcohol tolerance well and dared not drink too much. She felt dizzy after just one sip.
That night, she staggered and spent the night in a small wooden cabin in the space.
When I opened my eyes again, I had no idea what time it was.
I drank alcohol last night and went to sleep fully clothed without washing up. When I woke up, I found my mind was completely muddled.
To sober up and get rid of the smell of alcohol, Lu Qiqi took a bath before leaving the space.
Back in the tent, sunlight streamed through, casting a white glow into the tent.
When she lifted the curtain, she saw the bright sunshine and realized it was getting late.
At this moment, Nineteen came over carrying the food.
When he arrived at the tent and saw the breakfast he had prepared inside, Lu Qiqi did not touch it at all.
He looked at her, puzzled, and asked, "Princess, are you feeling unwell? You haven't even had breakfast?"
Normally, Lu Qiqi would have been complaining of hunger by noon, but today's unusual behavior made Shijiu suspect that she was unwell.
Lu Qiqi felt a little embarrassed. She hadn't expected that after drinking last night, she would sleep until noon.
At this moment, my stomach made a very cooperative sound.
Haha, this is a bit awkward.
After receiving the food from Nineteen, Lu Qiqi finished her lunch and then went to the wounded soldiers' camp with her medicine box on her back.
If the Tatars do not start a war, the workload in the wounded soldiers' camp will be greatly reduced.
For several days in a row, Lu Qiqi was changing the bandages for the wounded soldiers.
...
"Have you heard? The mayor of Kang Le Township can actually cure women's illnesses."
"What illness?"
"A disease that causes people to wet their pants."
"Really? If she really knows how to cure this disease, I'll have to ask my distant cousin to treat her."
She's not a distant cousin or sister-in-law; she's probably the one who is.
The women who gathered together to chat and drink tea, though they saw through each other's schemes, were actually plotting how to invite the Lord of Kang Le into his residence.
Madam Wu sat at the other table, sipping tea and admiring the flowers, listening to the women chat about the secrets of other people's homes.
Granny Gui walked in from outside and whispered a few words in Madam Wu's ear.
Although Madam Wu was unwilling, she had no other choice at the moment.
Since the Lady of Kangle Township brought her to the manor for treatment, the results have been seen in just a few days, although she is not as completely healthy as Aunt Xiang.
However, the situation of urinating without coughing while outside the residence never occurred.
It is evident that the young master of Kang Le Township possesses remarkable medical skills.
But some gossipy bitch actually leaked her urinary incontinence problem and how it was cured.
This led to these wealthy relatives mocking her illness while simultaneously pestering her with all sorts of questions.
Left with no other choice, she had to send a message to shift the blame onto Concubine Xiang, who was confined to the inner courtyard and had no opportunity to interact with the noble ladies.
The noble ladies chattered amongst themselves for a moment before coming over to flatter Madam Wu.
"Madam Wu is indeed the matriarch of the household; her tolerance is astonishing."
"That's right. What mistress would spend a fortune to find a doctor for her concubine, especially to treat such a minor ailment?"
"Who says otherwise? It's just that Madam Wu is kind-hearted."
A lady dressed in a scarlet dress and adorned with hairpins asked, "Madam Wu, how did you manage to invite Princess Kangle to your residence when she was in the military camp?"
You should talk to us sisters and share your thoughts, so we can all broaden our horizons.
I wouldn't presume to say I've gained much knowledge, but I truly do want to know how to persuade the head of Kangle Township to come to my residence to treat my illness.
However, there is a big pitfall here, which is to take advantage of General Wu's position to invite the head of Kangle Township to his residence.
This kind of thing was common in the past, after all, under the power of authority, who has to bow their head?
This was also a common tactic used by aristocratic families and nobles in the border regions and even the new capital.
But now that the Crown Prince of Libei has taken on the role of commander-in-chief of the border city, he has begun to rectify the bad practices in the army.
Those who use their official positions to oppress others shall be punished with twenty strokes of the military rod.
Getting beaten up is a small matter, but losing face is a big deal.
This action brought about a complete change in the military atmosphere, and the abuse of power by officials and their families to oppress the people in the border regions gradually decreased.
Madam Wu glanced at the beautiful woman who wished she could wear gold and silver jewelry on her body and said, "It's not that he has the ability, it's just that the General was seriously injured and could not return to the manor when Concubine Xiang gave birth that day."
The kind-hearted magistrate of Kang Le Township, upon learning of Aunt Xiang's difficult childbirth, rushed to deliver the baby himself, thus saving the lives of both mother and daughter.
As soon as the conversation began, Madam Wu picked up a handkerchief and wiped away her barely perceptible tears. "Everyone says that every woman has to go through this ordeal, but seeing basin after basin of blood being carried out of Aunt Xiang's room is truly heartbreaking."
If anything were to happen to the mother and daughter, I wouldn't know how to explain it to my general.
Madam Wu spoke with such poignant sorrow that the ladies present, each with several concubines, instantly empathized with her plight.
For a time, voices of advice and persuasion came incessantly.
"Madam Wu, you and General Wu are blessed with great fortune. As a result, Aunt Xiang has also benefited and was able to save her life and even give birth to a daughter."
"It must be said that Madam Wu is very fortunate. Her home is peaceful and her concubines who serve the general do not dare to cause any trouble."
Upon hearing this, the tide turned immediately. After a round of flattery, it was almost time, and the noble ladies left the Wu residence one after another.
After the women left, Madam Wu breathed a heavy sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed.
Madam Wu whispered to Granny Gui, "Remember to inform Aunt Xiang what she should and shouldn't say. She needs to understand."
"yes."
Watching Granny Gui's departing figure, Madam Wu returned to her own courtyard, surrounded by her maids.
The reason she sent Granny Gui to give Aunt Xiang a heads-up was because none of the women who had been admiring the flowers earlier were easy to deal with.
If, taking advantage of her inattention, they were to find out from Aunt Xiang what she shouldn't have heard, wouldn't they expose their secret?
This is not what she wanted to see.
What Madam Wu didn't know was that after this flower-viewing banquet, the reputation of the Kang Le Township Master's superb medical skills and his miraculous cures for women's ailments spread throughout the social circles of noblewomen.
