Chapter 363 I'll be a prime minister someday...
Tang Bugui was only slightly taken aback before looking at his daughter.
"What do you want to eat today?" Tang Bugui asked, not minding her at all, and instead picked her up...
"Daddy, don't touch it! Su Bao's hands will get dirty!" Little Su Bao hurriedly shouted, her eyes full of anxiety.
Tang Bugui raised his eyelids and looked at the little girl who had her head down.
The little girl seemed a bit flustered, her expression revealing a hint of unease.
Is there something I didn't do well enough?
Tang Bugui thought for a moment and then said, "It's okay, it can be washed clean."
Xiao Subao paused slightly, but before she could speak, Wang Mingtian said, "Alright, you guys go back first. I'll handle the rest. Oh, and come early tomorrow, things here need to be resolved quickly!"
Little Su Bao looked at her master, then at her father, and could only nod.
The little dumpling sighed; she hadn't even looked at the other things yet...
Tang Bugui's eyelids twitched as he looked at Xiao Su Bao's somewhat reluctant expression.
"You like it..."
Tang Bugui looked at the piglets that Wang Mingtian was continuing to dissect behind him, and then at Xiao Su Bao.
I don't understand what's so interesting about this thing.
Little Su Bao thought for a moment, then organized her thoughts and said, "Yes, I like it!"
She loved healing the sick and saving lives, and whenever she and the mute old woman saved someone, the people would be grateful to her.
Xiao Su Bao felt that this would make her feel useful, rather than the useless person the Lan family described.
"Then your father will invite renowned doctors from all over the world to teach you!" Tang Bugui looked at his daughter, pondering what kind of doctors he would invite.
“No way!” Little Su Bao immediately refused.
"I want to be the prime minister when I grow up!" The little dumpling glanced at her father and then said in a very firm tone.
Tang Bugui paused, and his grip on his daughter tightened involuntarily.
"I'll figure something out!" Tang Bugui said very seriously.
Although his daughter's idea was difficult to fulfill, since it was what his daughter wanted, he was determined to find a way.
The city gates remained closed early the next morning, but the Qian family managed to bring the orchid over overnight.
Because they were worried about the effects of the medicine, the Qian family didn't dare to delay for even a quarter of an hour.
The medicine was delivered overnight.
“Madam, you don’t need to go in. Just give us these things, and we’ll take them in!” the clerk said sincerely to Madam Qian.
They were extremely grateful to the Qian family, because when they arrived, the Qian family had already picked all the herbs and prepared them.
This saves them a lot of time.
Qian looked at the city gate of Lan County, and her expression changed slightly.
"My lord, I haven't seen my son Su Bao for several days and I'm very worried about him. Please let me in!"
Madam Qian looked at the advisor, holding Steward Bai in her arms.
The advisor's expression was somewhat unpleasant. It wasn't that he didn't want to let Madam Qian in, but rather that the plague was rampant in Lan County, making it far too dangerous.
My master had previously instructed that no outsiders should be allowed to enter.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Qian's firm voice: "I must go in!"
Now that the Empress and Emperor are temporarily settled in the village, with the Third Prince there and so many other people in the village, nothing will happen.
"As you know, this is the current situation in Lan County... What if you..." The clerk looked at Madam Qian solemnly, his tone carrying a hint of persuasion.
Madam Qian shook her head slightly and looked at the clerk, saying, "My child is inside, I can't not go in!"
"Besides, if you don't let me in, I can't give you these medicines either. What if you take them and damage them?" Madam Qian gave the clerk a sly smile.
advisor...
He can't afford to mess with this guy!
Finally, gritting his teeth, he said directly, "You've really made my life miserable!"
Despite saying that, he still brought the Qian family inside.
Besides Qian, she also brought several young men from the village, who had all come on their own initiative.
"Open the gate!" The clerk said directly to the guards, holding a token in his hand.
These people were all brought by Fu Lin and Su Liang, and they all knew the advisor.
Besides, the clerk still had the token in his hand, so no one dared to stop him.
"Master, please go in quickly!" The guards hurriedly made way for the carriage to enter.
Those from the Underworld hiding in the shadows were slightly taken aback, and they quickly reported the matter.
Qian didn't care about all that; in fact, this was her first time visiting Lan County.
Previously, she had only been to An County in order to take care of the children.
The streets of Lan County were all white, and there were almost no people on the road.
After taking only two steps, I saw a person who was pale and thin and could barely walk steadily.
He saw the carriage and rushed over.
But the clerk's expression changed slightly, and he shouted at the man in front, "Don't come any closer! Anyone who dares to come closer will be killed without mercy!"
The man was stunned and stood there, too afraid to move.
Immediately afterwards, the clerk breathed a slight sigh of relief; these people looked sick.
I'm still young and don't want to die.
"If you feel unwell, go directly to Longquan Temple. Do not linger on the streets!" the advisor said coldly to the visitors.
"Yes...yes, sir!" The man quickly took a step back, his face pale.
Along the way, they encountered many people intermittently; some rushed over anxiously, but most were people on their deathbeds.
When Qian saw the scene inside, her heart skipped a beat.
She clung tightly to Butler Bai's wings, her face showing a hint of seriousness.
At this point, the clerk couldn't care less about anything else and could only lead them towards the yamen (government office).
He dared not take the Qian family into danger.
Upon arriving at the yamen, the people there were overjoyed to see the clerk return: "Clerk, you're finally back!"
After two days of fermentation, the number of people who are sick is increasing.
Those medicines are far from enough.
Many people are facing the prospect of running out of medication.
The other medicines are alright, but the orchid is the only medicinal guide; without it, the medicinal effect is greatly reduced.
"Where is the master now?" The clerk wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"The officials are on official business; there's just been too much going on here these past few days..."
As he spoke, the constable reached out to help lead the horse.
However, a cold glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, and in the next instant, he was about to make his move.
"Wang Gui, what are you doing!" The clerk sensed something was wrong and immediately looked at Wang Gui warily.
However, Wang Gui said, "It's nothing, I was just helping the master..."
But his hands didn't stop moving; he gripped the horse's reins tightly and pulled out a dagger.
The dagger was about to pierce the advisor's heart.
The advisor, who was not skilled in martial arts, could only retreat backward in a sorry state.
But at that moment, a chicken leg bone that had been gnawed clean suddenly smashed into Wang Gui's hand.
Wang Gui's expression changed slightly; Ling Buqi, Su Liang, and the others had all left today.
Tang Bugui also went to pick up Xiao Su Bao; there wouldn't be anyone here with better kung fu than him!
His expression changed slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
The advisor was quick to react as well; after all, although his kung fu wasn't great, his eyesight was excellent.
He quickly reached out and snatched the dagger away.
Thinking of Qian Shi, a woman who was powerless to even kill a chicken, he sighed and had no choice but to accept his fate and take action.
"Madam Tang, run! I'll hold this villain off!"
As he spoke, he thrust his sword at Wang Gui.
Who was Wang Gui? His eyes were filled with sarcasm. He knew this advisor's situation better than anyone else.
"Don't be ungrateful. I'll spare your life since we've known each other!" Wang Gui said, but his actions were anything but restrained; in fact, he became even more ruthless.
advisor...
Go to hell!
He hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and was determined to sacrifice himself to allow Qian to escape.
After all, Qian was General Tang's lover...
He still believes that Xiao Su Bao is the son of Qian Shi and Tang Bu Gui!
He understands that his sister loves him...
"Madam Tang, escape and tell the General that I did my best!"
He yelled and lunged at Wang Gui... into his arms, accidentally kissing Wang Gui on the lips in the process!
Wang Gui!
What bad luck!
When Qian lifted the curtain, she was completely stunned.
What kind of love, hate, and grudges are these?!
Madam Qian looked at the two men with a puzzled expression, then realized something was wrong. She grabbed the clerk by the back of his collar, lifted him up, and threw him aside.
Before the advisor could even stand up straight, he saw Madam Qian holding a large white goose in one arm, while using the other hand to gouge out eyes, poke throats, and kick her underlings…
The advisor instantly squeezed his legs together; he heard Egg's sorrow...
Although...but...he still felt a pang of pain for Wang Gui.
Qian gave Wang Gui no chance to react; those few blows were both ruthless and cunning.
The housekeeper in her arms didn't hold back either, jumping to the ground and pecking Wang Gui hard.
Wang Gui, he's a spy for the Underworld!
But now!
Wang Gui was completely devastated. If he had another chance, he definitely wouldn't have taken the job.
This is more terrifying than death itself.
"mother!"
Little Su Bao came running over, her mouth still greasy, her little face full of panic.
After arriving and seeing that Madam Qian was alright, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Little Su Bao looked at Qian Shi nervously and sized her up and down.
When Ms. Qian saw that her daughter, Xiao Su Bao, had lost a lot of weight, she felt heartbroken.
In just two days, all the effort I had put into raising this child has vanished.
Qian couldn't help but look behind Xiao Su Bao, and saw Tang Bu Gui walking slowly over.
He wanted to say something, but seeing Tang Bugui's thin and frail appearance, as if a gust of wind could blow him over, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"Let your mother check if you're alright!" Two days had passed, but Madam Qian felt as if a long time had gone by.
“Mom, Su Bao is fine, Su Bao is doing well!” Little Su Bao said, standing in front of Qian Shi.
"Goose, goose, goose..." Butler Bai also came up to Little Su Bao and rubbed its head against Little Su Bao.
Little Su Bao felt a warmth in her heart, sensing that Butler Bai was also worried about her.
"It's good that you're alright." Madam Qian breathed a sigh of relief, then said to Tang Bugui, "Thank you for your hard work these past few days."
Tang Bugui was taken aback, then pursed his lips and said, "It's no trouble at all. Taking care of Su Bao is something I do willingly."
Ms. Qian nodded, finally relieved.
The three Tang brothers, who had rushed over together, exchanged a glance, each with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
Look, they've been standing here for so long, but their mother seems not to have seen them at all!
Tell me, isn't this unfair?
"mother……"
Three voices came from behind.
Madam Qian was taken aback and looked to the side. When she saw her three sons, she immediately said, "When did you all get here? Why didn't you say anything?"
Tang Qi's lips twitched, and he subconsciously said, "We've called you many times, but you haven't heard us!"
“You’ve clearly forgotten your son now that you have a daughter. I feel so sad and need some comfort!” Tang Qi said, moving closer to Madam Qian.
Ms. Qian held the baby in her arms, then raised her foot and kicked him in annoyance.
Tang Qi wasn't angry at all after getting a light tap on the bottom. Instead, he grinned foolishly and said, "Mother, why did you come over? Were you too worried about your sons?"
"Second son, I think you've gotten more and more arrogant lately!" Madam Qian glared at her second son before looking at her other two sons.
The eldest and fourth sons both seemed quite good, which put Qian's mind at ease.
"This isn't the place to talk, let's go inside!" Tang Cheng said to Madam Qian.
Wang Gui had already been taken away by the two guards brought by the clerk, who had tied him up like a dumpling.
They also took the medicine directly to the yamen (government office).
After finishing all that, everyone went inside and carried out another round of disinfection. Then, Madam Qian said, "I heard that the plague is severe here. In addition to these medicinal herbs, I asked your third brother to have someone buy a cartload of other medicines. I'll have your third brother deliver them in a couple of days!"
"That's wonderful!" Tang Si breathed a slight sigh of relief. He had only read about the plague in books before, but when he actually faced it, he still found it somewhat terrifying.
Madam Qian nodded and patted Tang Si's head: "I heard from the clerk that you are all very good. I am proud of you!"
"Eldest brother, you should work hard for the county magistrate. Second brother, you have a lively personality. Now that Lord Su values you, you must not cause any trouble!"
"As for the fourth child, I know you are good at studying, but you can't just study by yourself. You need to use your brain more when you do things. But you are still young, so there's no need to rush."
When Xiao Su Bao heard her mother praise her brothers, a look of anticipation immediately appeared on her face.
A pair of big, bright eyes stared at Qian Shi.
Mrs. Qian's heart softened under her gaze.
"The one who deserves the most praise here is our little Su Bao. She disregarded the danger and actually followed Master to treat patients. That's great. However, you're still young. Leave these kinds of things to the adults. And you all have to protect your little sister from now on, understand?"
"Yes, Mother!" the group replied in unison.
Qian looked at them, her eyes filled with a deep smile.
Tang Bugui was becoming a father for the first time. He listened quietly from the side and then fell into deep thought.
The Tang family's children were well-educated by Madam Qian. Although they had very different personalities, they were not unlikeable.
“By the way…” Madam Qian looked at Tang Bugui.
This little brother!
"Your uncle isn't in good health, so you all need to keep an eye on him and not let him work too hard. He's Xiaosubao's father and your uncle. We're all family, and what's most important for a family?"
The three Tang brothers and Xiao Su Bao's eyes lit up and they shouted.
