Chapter 49: Crazy Drawings for Gods
The Governor's Mansion has never been as lively as it is today.
The Jiang family, including servants, numbered about a hundred people, and they had set up more than a dozen large round tables in the courtyard.
After all, there were so many people, and they thought the table would be filled with white rice with some pickles or stir-fried meat. Unexpectedly, every table was filled with chicken, duck, fish, and even sea cucumbers and shark fins.
"hiss--"
Brother Jiang Yu couldn't help but gasp when he saw the sumptuous meal.
"Your Highness, isn't this... too extravagant?"
The people in Weizhou have not yet survived the famine, so how can they live so luxuriously in their courtyard?
The education he received since childhood made him feel somewhat guilty.
Jiang Qingqing walked forward and took the lead in inviting Jiang's father to take a seat.
He joked, "We can only be so extravagant today. We'll have to endure hardship in the future. Let's indulge ourselves a little today to celebrate the Jiang family's escape from danger."
"It has been arranged. Tomorrow we will distribute rice and vegetables to the people in the city."
Actually, it’s true.
It was indeed a bit embarrassing to always ask the gods for things. Originally, she just wanted everyone to eat some simple home-cooked meals today.
In the end, the god said that he didn't need this little money.
If you really feel bad, just draw a few more pictures for him.
Jiang Qingqing thought, if she could stay up a little longer tonight and paint a few more pictures, she thought Father God might like her paintings more.
Seeing this, Brother Jiang wanted to say something.
But he was interrupted by Jiang's father.
"Everyone sit down. Anyone who doesn't want to eat can eat white rice. No one will stop you."
"You're just ruining the fun!"
He turned around and his stern tone changed, and he said to Jiang Qingqing with a doting look: "Come here, I haven't eaten pork for a long time, and I miss it very much."
Jiang Qingqing nodded and sat down next to Jiang's father.
"Everyone, let's have dinner. We've been eating rotten rice for the past half month and we're starving!"
"Come, come, sit here, my husband. The meat here is so delicious!"
After hearing what Father Jiang said, Third Aunt started yelling.
Pulling her two children, she sat down and called out, "Sister-in-law, come here, brother... come to this table."
The Jiang family has always been casual about trivial matters. With the third sister-in-law adjusting the atmosphere, everyone quickly sat down in their seats.
Mother Jiang poured fruit wine for Father Jiang and Jiang Qingqing.
"Qingqing, let's raise a glass."
"Thanks to you today, otherwise the Jiang family..."
Jiang's mother didn't continue speaking, but everyone knew what she meant.
Jiang Qingqing couldn't refuse the kindness, so she raised her glass and stood up.
"Then I wish the Jiang family and Daliang to get out of this predicament together, and that evil will not prevail over good."
——
Dinner is over
Jiang Qingqing went to Jiang Yu's room.
The doctor was watching over him. Jiang Yu was still unconscious at this time, so Jiang Qingqing gave him another heart-protecting pill.
Jiang Qingqing happened to meet Jiang Yu's father and mother, and several of Jiang Yu's uncles who came to visit Jiang Yu. Jiang Qingqing took the opportunity to invite them to the front hall to discuss the next plan.
Jiang Qingqing also directly stated the current situation of the court.
There's nothing to hide.
There is not much time left for them to prepare.
"Mr. Jiang, I don't know what the emperor's current situation is, and I can't contact him."
"The only certainty is that the Golden Guard is still under the control of my father and has not fallen into the hands of Liu Yi and the Empress Dowager. But I can't call them to action."
Jiang Qingqing once tried to contact Jin Wuwei using the mark.
But after so long, I never received a reply.
However, they were not seen joining the teams at the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Su family. I guess they haven't got the tokens yet.
So my father should still be alive.
Father Jiang listened to Jiang Qingqing's words and asked something he shouldn't have asked.
But this is also the key to the current situation: "My dear, today's meal... and tomorrow's rations, aren't they from the court?"
Jiang Qingqing nodded.
"Well, the imperial court didn't open the granaries to release grain. All the grain comes from here."
"But please forgive me, Mr. Jiang, for not being able to elaborate on the specific details. Anyway, it won't cause any harm to anyone. It's all decent food."
Father Jiang nodded.
He sighed, "I just don't know how long this food will last."
It is a foregone conclusion that Liu Yi will join forces with the enemy country.
If you want to make a breakthrough, you have to fight a protracted war.
It's a tough battle.
Jiang Yu's uncle spoke. He had not eaten yet and had not treated his wounds, but he hurried to the military camp.
"The Jiang family army currently has approximately 120,000 soldiers available, but nearly 10,000 are wounded."
"I wonder if there's any left of the medicine Your Highness just took out?"
When talking about the medicine that Jiang Qingqing took out, everyone started to speak.
"I took that ibuprofen and it worked. I had a fever before, but now I'm almost cured in just one hour."
"Oh, and Yunnan Baiyao, it's really good at stopping bleeding."
"The gastrointestinal treatment is pretty good, and the gauze is even better than what I've used before."
“…”
Jiang Qingqing used those medicines on Jiang Yu, and was praised by Jiang Yu at that time.
Now that I hear what my uncles say, I feel a little moved.
"I'll go back later and see if I can get more. I'll take out whatever I have."
With Jiang Qingqing's consent, the uncle breathed a sigh of relief.
It makes him feel heartbroken when he sees those soldiers who have been suffering from minor illnesses but have been suffering from serious diseases because they have no medication!
At least there is still hope.
"Take a look at what's needed most and make a list for me."
"Okay! I'll make the list right away!"
My uncle was the first to leave the front hall.
"As for food, Mr. Jiang, don't worry. There's more than enough. Everyone, go ahead and fight without worry. I'll take care of the logistics!"
In order to encourage people, Jiang Qingqing told a small lie.
"well!"
Jiang's father was indeed touched by Jiang Qingqing's words.
Arranging the several generals present.
"Tonight, all of you, follow me up to the city walls and rearrange the city defenses and mechanisms! This time, I will not allow those barbarians to attack again!"
——
Back to the bedroom again
Jiang Qingqing was so tired that she fell directly onto the bed.
I don't want to move at all.
I just carried a lot of rice and vegetables needed for tomorrow, and I am really exhausted.
But thinking that she still owed the gods a lot of paintings, Jiang Qingqing stood up listlessly with a sullen face. She dragged her cotton slippers and walked lazily to the study.
With a stroke of the pen.
Just do it!
Several huge sheets of rice paper were spread on the ground, and Jiang Qingqing lay on the ground and began to paint carefully.
The more he painted, the more excited he became. In the last few scrolls, he even had the casual feeling of a reclusive master, which was completely different from his previous flamboyant and intense style.
Volume after volume.
When Fu Zhengnan got off the plane in the early morning of the next day.
When entering the game again.
I saw Jiang Qingqing lying on the ground, holding a wolf-hair brush in her hand and sleeping.
If I hadn't seen her even breathing, I would have worried that something had happened to her.
She caught a glimpse of the huge scroll unfolding beside her, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.
