As soon as he got home in the evening, he found his wife and told her what happened today. Mrs. Chen thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not simple. I have heard of this Lord Shen before.
Ten years ago, a fire destroyed his wife, children, and mother, and he himself was seriously injured. Even when His Majesty invited him to Kyoto, he was unable to go due to health reasons. His current visit to Beichuan County must have a reason, perhaps one that is related to the Jiang family. "Master, how many children do the Jiangs have?"
County Magistrate Chen calmed down and said, "He has three sons and two daughters. The youngest girl is Jiang Huaixu, the one who loves to perform caesarean sections."
What kind of talk is that? Madam Chen glared at her husband. "Madam Yang and Miss Jiang are familiar with each other. Why not let Ming'er ask the young man from the Yang family? I don't know why, but I always feel that this matter is not simple.
If the master can be so cruel, he can let your sweetheart ask her brother to apologize to the other person, so that there will be no more trouble in the future, when it will be too late to cry."
County Magistrate Chen's face was stiff. "Madam is right. We should have apologized long ago. I will arrange it right away."
With that he left the house.
For two consecutive days, Jiang Huaixu accompanied Chen Su on a stroll and then began to busy himself with the five-spice powder.
The Fang family needed to take care of household affairs, but they could also allocate a boat for Jiang Huaixu to use. She spent a day mixing, weighing, and bagging the five-spice powder, and then transported it to the Beichuan County wharf the next day.
The people who followed this batch of goods to Huaizhou City this time were two people personally selected by Jiang Zhengmao - Jiang Miao and Jiang Dazhuang.
For the first time, it wasn’t someone I wasn’t close to, but I still felt uneasy.
After sending off a batch of goods to Huaizhou City, Jiang Huaixu came to Qingnang Pavilion to learn from Kang Ping about the whereabouts of Dajin and others. After knowing that the group was still in Beichuan County, she was about to go looking for them, but was stopped by Doctor Qiao.
"You girl, you fish for three days and dry the net for two days. You've been away for so long. Do you still want to work at the Qingnang Pavilion?"
Seeing him fuming with anger, Jiang Huaixu said with a smile, "Old Doctor Qiao, I've already agreed with Shopkeeper Pei that the job at the Qing Nang Clinic is a part-time job for me—part-time means I don't come here often. Once I'm done with this, I'll discuss medical skills with you."
Doctor Qiao snorted, "With your talent, if you take advantage of your prime years to diligently improve your medical skills, you'll go further and longer than I, an old man. The most important thing is to choose your own path and avoid going astray."
Jiang Huaixu looked at Dr. Qiao's back with a smile in his eyes.
"Dr. Qiao is such a serious person. It's a pity that you are burdened by mundane affairs. Don't take it to heart." Kang Ping said.
Jiang Huaixu said: "What the old man said does make some sense and is worth taking to heart."
As they walked out of the museum, she suddenly thought, "Doctor Kang, don't you have any other family members? I think I've only heard you mention your grandfather."
Kang Ping was stunned. He hadn't expected Jiang Huaixu to ask this. He lowered his eyes, a trace of pain flashing across them. "I once married a wife, but she had a difficult childbirth and died."
Having accidentally exposed someone else's scars, Jiang Huaixu was rarely at a loss. "I'm sorry, Brother Kang, I, I didn't mean it."
"It's okay." Kang Ping smiled. "It's all in the past. We must always look forward. Go slower on your way. I'll go in too."
"good."
Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Huaixu knocked her forehead in annoyance. She had heard the villagers say that they wanted to find a wife for Brother Kang these past two days, so she became curious. She didn't expect to step on a landmine as soon as she opened her mouth.
This kind of thing still depends on your own wishes. If the villagers are not aware of it and you do something bad with good intentions, it would be bad. You should say hello when you go back.
A group of people from Dajin temporarily lived in the City God Temple southeast of the county town. Because it could shelter them from wind and rain and was close to the county town, this place became a popular destination for the victims.
Xiaoman drove a carriage and brought Jiang Huaixu to the City God Temple. Before they spoke, they attracted a lot of people's attention.
She walked into the City God Temple and looked around. Before she saw anyone, she heard someone shouting, "Little Doctor Jiang? Little Doctor Jiang!"
Jiang Huaixu looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the person coming was Da Jin.
"Doctor Jiang, why are you here?" Da Jin asked happily.
Glancing at the group of people behind Da Jin, Jiang Huaixu said, "Brother Da Jin, come with me."
The two men came to an open space, and Jiang Huaixu told Dajin about his plan. Since he was planning to add manpower, the first person Jiang Huaixu thought of was Dajin's group.
This group of people are kind, righteous and honest, so she feels at ease letting them help her with the work.
"Doctor Jiang, are you telling the truth?" Da Jin was so happy that he didn't know what to say.
His wife is still very weak. She heard that another prince who wanted to rebel had died outside, and she was very worried. Even if they wanted to return to their hometown, they had to consider whether they had the ability to do so.
These days, some people want to settle down in Beichuan County.
"Of course it's true, but our accommodation over there is rather simple. Don't mind. If you want to go back home, tell us in advance and we'll find someone else then."
"No matter how shabby it can be, it's better than where we live now, isn't it?" Da Jin said, "Doctor Jiang, as long as you're willing to take us in and give us food, we'll definitely work hard."
Jiang Huaixu was left in a state of confusion by his words. "You two can discuss it and go to the tofu stall in the county town to find someone. They'll take you to Jiuxi Village. Don't worry, we're looking for decent workers, and you guys will definitely get paid."
After explaining everything to Dajin, Jiang Huaixu left the City God Temple.
Xiaoman was puzzled by Jiang Huaixu's behavior and asked, "Miss, if you're short of help, couldn't you just tell the Marquis? Why are you looking for these refugees?"
