His niece-in-law generously shared all the preventive methods and prescriptions with him. If he, as the emperor, failed at this time, he would look down on himself.
Fortunately, Liuli's factory has been doing well during this period. Prince Chen's business of making brown sugar and selling chocolate has also been profitable in the past two years under Tian An's guidance. Before the New Year, he presented a large sum of money to his father, so he is still well off.
So the emperor immediately allocated a sum of money and asked the prince to personally supervise this matter.
However, the problem of popularizing ascariasis was solved. Although Tian An donated it free of charge, as an emperor he could not take his ministers' things for granted. What's more, the prescription was given by the minister's family, so he could not pretend to be ignorant. It was necessary to reward the ministers according to their merits.
But the girl now has money and fame, and Wenquan Manor has also rewarded her before. What else can he reward her with?
The emperor thought about it for a long time in embarrassment, and then he realized that although the adults had everything they needed, Tian An still had a baby in her belly.
With a wave of his hand, he gave the pair of yellow jade dragon and phoenix pendants that the vassal state had just presented to him years ago to Zhao Yiming and the baby in Tian An's belly.
Although Tian An presented a priceless prescription, the emperor only rewarded him with a pair of jade pendants. Even the emperor felt a little guilty, but Zhao Yiming was quite satisfied when he held the jade pendants.
The reward from the emperor's uncle turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as it happened to be given to each of his and Tian An's children.
In the evening, when Zhao Yiming gave the jade pendant to Tian An, Tian An couldn't let it go. She liked this kind of natural things, not to mention that it was a pair of dragon and phoenix pendants.
The dragon and phoenix jade pendants are paired with twins, it’s simply tailor-made for the two little ones!
Tian An was so curious that she muttered to the two little ones through her belly while holding the jade pendant, which made Zhao Yiming laugh. "I'm not even showing my pregnancy yet! Can they hear me?"
Tian An's face was full of tenderness, "You'll be able to hear it after a while."
Hearing this, Zhao Yiming hugged Tian An and lay down, and began to ask her curiously about the fetus.
The two of them stayed in bed and discussed until Tian An slowly fell asleep. Zhao Yiming carefully tucked the quilt in for him and then closed his eyes contentedly.
…
In a blink of an eye, it was the last day of free clinic at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital, but an unexpected person came outside the clinic.
When Deng Xue came to report, Tian An was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief, "Who are you talking about?"
"The former old lady in our house, Aunt Cao." Deng Xue repeated with a stern face.
Tian Anle was happy. "Although we've spread the word that anyone can come for the free clinic, no prominent lady in the capital has come to compete with the common people for a spot. Doesn't she call herself a lady from a prestigious family? How could she be willing to put down her dignity and queue up with the common people?"
It's no wonder Tian An was surprised. At this moment, Mrs. Cao, dressed in gorgeous clothes and dressed like a noble lady, stood out among a group of ordinary women in coarse cotton-padded clothes like a crane among chickens. Her face, which was already red from the fever due to the cold, became even redder.
If her personal nanny hadn't been holding her back and urging her to be patient, she would have stormed out and left.
Thinking of her, Cao, even when she was a concubine, whenever she had a headache or a fever, she would always ask the servants to invite the masters to come to her house for a diagnosis.
She didn't expect that she would have to endure this kind of suffering at such an old age. She had to fight with these low-class people in this cold wind for a free medical consultation spot. Not to mention, the doctor was the same bitch who drove her out of the house.
If it weren't for Tian An, how could she have ended up in this situation?
Whenever she thought of Tian An, she felt so angry that her liver and lungs ached. She wished she could tear her into pieces and execute Lin Chi. But now she had to beg for help. She really wanted to commit suicide.
"Oh! You lowly person, stay away from me. You have stained this gorgeous dress of mine. Can you afford to pay for it?"
Everyone was queuing up, and it was inevitably crowded. The woman queuing behind Mrs. Cao was accidentally pushed by the person behind her, and her feet stepped on her clothes.
The woman had already apologized quickly, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Cao, who was already full of anger, would start cursing directly.
When the woman saw that she was dressed so luxuriously, she thought she was an old lady from some family and did not dare to offend her. Even if she was scolded, she not only did not dare to get angry, but also had to apologize carefully.
But the old lady Cao was so unreasonable that she insisted that the man kneel on the ground and lick her clean.
She is taking out all her anger from the past few days on others, trying to feel superior!
The woman was so anxious that she almost cried, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was my fault for being so reckless. Please, Madam, have mercy on me and forgive me!"
The people queuing next to her thought Old Lady Cao was making a big deal out of nothing. In this kind of situation, with all the shoving and jostling, everyone's traveling light. It's inevitable that someone would get stepped on if they were dressed like that. Since the other person has apologized, why not just take a step back and let it go? But this old woman kept on harping on her, still humiliating them.
If someone else had done the same, they would have helped to reason with them long ago. But today, in order to prevent Tian An from looking down on her, Old Lady Cao wore the only piece of clothing she had not sold and kept for show, which scared everyone.
This made everyone afraid of getting into trouble and not daring to act rashly. The person who was standing behind the young woman was even afraid of being pulled by the other party, so he slipped away early in the chaos.
The young woman wanted to cry but had no tears. She thought that if she didn't do what the old lady said today, there would be no peace. She had no choice but to kneel on the ground full of dirty water, and slowly raised her head towards the hem of Old Lady Cao's clothes, which were almost dirty from her stepping on them.
Just as Old Lady Cao was enjoying the pleasure of being superior with a smug look on her face and an arrogant attitude, a crisp and slightly angry voice interrupted the young woman's next action.
"What are you doing?"
Xiang Tao had just returned home to get something for Tian An, and saw this scene as soon as she came back.
At this time, everyone around was afraid of getting into trouble, so they stood far away from them, which made it easy for Xiangtao to recognize the old woman Cao at a glance.
Based on the second wife's character, Xiangtao concluded that it was Old Lady Cao who was causing trouble without even asking the reason.
He immediately rushed forward and helped the young woman up, glaring at Old Lady Cao. "Madam Cao, are you bullying us by taking advantage of your power? You've even come to the doorstep of our clinic. If you want to act wild, go somewhere else. You can't do whatever you want here."
Seeing that it was Xiang Tao, Madam Cao looked disdainful, "That little bitch Tian An, is this how she disciplines her servants? Does she still have any respect for others?"
"Old lady... no."
Upon hearing this, the personal nanny beside her quickly reminded her in disapproval that they came here to ask for help today, and now that they have offended the person, how can they get someone to treat them later!
“Pah…”
As soon as the personal nanny finished speaking, she heard a loud slapping sound.
