Chapter 393: Strict Teachers Produce Excellent Students
"Old people are usually afraid of cold, and tiger skin has a good effect of keeping warm. How about sending this tiger skin to them?" Song Yuntang said, looking at Xu Qingye.
Anyway, the family is not so short of money at this stage. The matter of the medicinal materials this time was probably only able to proceed so smoothly because of Mr. Tang's face.
I heard from Wang Hongxuan and Yang Linyuan before that Mr. Tang was difficult to deal with and ignored everyone, but the fact that he stood up for Xu Qingye this time showed that he still valued this disciple.
Send a tiger skin as a gift and say it was hunted by your own family. It won't seem too expensive and can also show your love and respect for the elderly, which is quite appropriate.
Xu Qingye thought about it and nodded.
"Okay." He turned to look at her, "You take a rest first, I will deal with the tiger skin in the afternoon."
Seeing that Xu Qingye knew how to tan fur, Song Yuntang felt comfortable handing the tiger skin to him.
He stretched himself, took a nap in the recliner for a while, and after he had rested enough, he took Xia Ning to continue treating the victims.
The story of the two women hunting a tiger spread like a myth among the victims.
In the following days, many people looked at Song Yuntang and Xia Ning with admiration in their eyes.
…
In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed. Seeing that the medicinal materials brought by Xu Qingye were becoming less and less, the imperial envoy sent by the court to Anyang County to provide disaster relief finally arrived in Anyang County in early February.
Because of Song Yuntang's reminder, Zhu Deming had already administered plague-preventive medicines to the people in the surrounding towns and counties in advance. In addition, with proper precautions in the later stages and the proper handling of the bodies of the few people who died of the disease, the plague in Qingshi Town did not spread outward.
Therefore, after the imperial envoy arrived, not only the problem of medicinal materials was solved, but also the problem of food was solved.
With large-scale use of drugs, the plague was completely under control in less than two months, and even the two imperial doctors brought from the capital were of no use.
Seeing that things here were coming to an end, Song Yuntang said goodbye to Master Qin who had stayed with her, and led Xia Ning, Doctor Zhou and Shunzi back to Anyang County.
After Xu Qingye stayed with her in Qingshi Town for a month, he returned to study.
He had wasted too many years before, and he would be taking part in the autumn examination in the second half of the year. He had little time left to prepare, so he naturally could not delay any longer.
Jiang and Xu Yongwang also brought Xu Wencheng and Nian'er to the county town and lived in Liuqiao Street to take care of Xu Qingye's daily life.
Knowing that Song Yuntang was going home, Jiang specially killed a chicken and cut two pounds of meat that she had brought and stored in the cellar with ice to make braised pork.
I also mixed glutinous rice flour into some dumplings, which meant that the family was reunited again.
Xu Yongwang even prepared a brazier and placed it at the door, and asked Song Yuntang to step over it to keep the evil spirit out and protect the family from harm.
Although Song Yuntang didn't believe that this method could really get rid of evil spirits, seeing that her parents-in-law were so enthusiastic about preparing for her, she cooperated with them.
As I entered the yard, I smelled the chicken soup and braised pork from the backyard.
“It smells so good.”
Xu Yongwang smiled and said, "Your mother knew you were coming back, so she got up early in the morning to boil water and kill a chicken, and she's been simmering it on a low fire until now."
Xu Wencheng smiled and continued the conversation.
"He also asked me to go to Mingyue Tower to order a roast duck. It should be almost ready. I'll go get it now."
When Jiang saw her youngest son running away, she said from behind, "Slow down. You are not young anymore. Don't be so reckless."
Although Xu Wencheng was not seen outside the courtyard, his voice could be heard.
"I know, mother."
Jiang shook her head and turned to look at Song Yuntang with heartache in her eyes.
"I have been in Qingshi Town for a while and have lost weight. Fortunately, I have returned safely. Tang'er, go and have a rest first. Mother still has to go to the kitchen to look after the food. I will call you when it is ready."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"Okay, go get busy, Mom."
In Qingshi Town, there is no condition to take a proper bath.
The first thing she did when she came back was not to rest, but to clean herself up first.
"Xianing, go get me a big bucket of water and a basin."
Xia Ning nodded and went straight to the backyard.
Song Yuntang came into the house and took out a set of clothes he had made last fall.
It is already the beginning of March and the weather is much warmer than before, so there is no need to wear thick cotton clothes to keep warm in winter. A thin padded jacket is enough.
After washing his hair and body, Song Yuntang felt relaxed.
When Xu Qingye came back, she was sitting in the room, reading a storybook seriously in her hands, letting Nian'er patiently wipe her hair bit by bit with a handkerchief.
He said nothing, just winked at Nian'er, took the handkerchief from her and continued to wipe Song Yuntang.
Nian'er smiled, turned and left the house.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that the relationship between my cousin and his wife is really enviable.
Xu Qingye silently wiped the girl's long hair. At this moment, she tilted her head slightly, and the light coming in from the window shone on her body, as if her whole body was glowing.
The whole person is so soft that you can't feel any edges or corners.
A quarter of an hour later, Song Yuntang turned a page of the book and raised his hand to touch his hair.
"Nian'er, it's almost dry, you don't need to wipe it anymore."
Xu Qingye smiled lightly, "Nian'er has already gone out."
Hearing the voice, Song Yuntang's heart tightened and he quickly closed the notebook in his hand.
Seeing her reaction like this, Xu Qingye just found it a little funny.
"I didn't read your notebook."
Song Yuntang said "oh", put away the notebook, and tied her long hair loosely behind her with a hairband.
"When did you come back? Has everything been going well during this period?"
"I've been back for about a quarter of an hour, but you were so absorbed in your reading that you didn't notice." He hung the handkerchief on the shelf and continued, "I will be taking the Autumn Examination in the second half of the year. The teacher takes it very seriously and is a bit strict with me."
Song Yuntang nodded, "A strict teacher produces a good student. Once we get through this period, we will be able to sail across thousands of mountains."
If the autumn examination goes smoothly, Xu Qingye will become a juren.
Becoming a juren means you are qualified to be an official, which is halfway to success.
The lunch was quite sumptuous. During this period when Song Yuntang was in Qingshi Town, Xu Qingye was the only one with her. Occasionally, when she saw hunters hunting prey, they would spend money to buy the game for her.
I would go to help her sometimes.
After he left, she hadn't had any meat for more than half a month.
Song Yuntang was extremely satisfied with the lunch.
After dinner, Xu Qingye went to Tang Mansion again. Song Yuntang had just returned from Qingshi Town and just wanted to rest at home for two days, so he did not go to Xinglin Medical Clinic.
I had a comfortable sleep in the afternoon.
When it was time for dinner, perhaps because he had eaten too much at the last meal, Song Yuntang put down his chopsticks after only two bites.
