Chapter 1041, Dog Skin Plaster
"The snow this year is too heavy and too frequent. I hope it will stop soon." Otherwise, there will be another snow disaster.
Looking at the heavy snow falling outside the window, Daohua felt a little worried.
When Daozi, who was practicing calligraphy nearby, heard this, he retorted, "Mom, it would be better if the snow fell heavily, so that the snow we piled in the yard wouldn't melt."
Because of the heavy snow, the snowman he and his mother built together has been in the same old state for more than half a month.
Hearing this, Daohua sat down next to Daozi and told him about the dangers of snowstorms: "If the snow falls too heavily, the house will be crushed."
Rice: "Then this house is too flimsy."
Daohua: "Not everyone lives in such a sturdy house like us. Have you forgotten that many people in Daoxiang Village build their houses with mud and straw? Those kinds of houses can't withstand too much pressure."
"Think about it. We have a charcoal brazier and a fireplace in our house, and we're wearing thick cotton clothes, but we still feel cold. How would those people feel if they were left out in the ice and snow without a house to shelter them?"
The rice shuddered: "He was frozen to death."
Rice Flower nodded. "Not only that, but if the snow piles up too much, the roads will be blocked and we won't be able to go out. It's fine if we have food at home, but what if we don't?"
A look of fear appeared on Daozi's face: "I'll starve to death."
Rice Flower: "So do you still think the snow is heavy now?"
Daozi hurriedly shook his head: "Not good." Then he looked out the window and prayed, "Please stop snowing soon. I won't make a snowman anymore."
Daohua smiled and touched her son's head, asking him to continue concentrating on practicing writing big characters. She tucked in the quilt for the twins sleeping beside her, and then went to the kitchen.
There are elderly people and children at home, and winter is the peak season for diseases. Daohua dare not be careless and makes medicinal food for her family every few days.
The medicinal food that had been cooked all night was already fragrant. Daohua was about to ask the maid to serve it out when Guyu hurried over.
"Princess, the Second Madam has arrived with the Fourth Young Lady. Both are injured. The gatekeeper saw the Second Madam's face covered in blood and quickly sent someone to notify this servant. Seeing that both were seriously injured, this servant took it upon herself to send them to the guest house."
Daohua was stunned for a moment before she realized that the Second Madam and the Fourth Young Lady were her Second Aunt and Yan Yile. As they walked out, she asked, "Aren't they going to the Lanwu Mansion? Why would Second Sister let them travel in the snow?"
He said, shaking his head, not bothering to pursue these questions, "Have you called a doctor?"
Guyu nodded: "I have sent someone to invite him, he should be here soon."
Daohua said "hmm" and then sighed. Xiao Yeyang's bad mouth really came true.
It is only December now. Calculating the time, Second Aunt and Yile have only been in Lanwu Mansion for more than two months before returning. As soon as they came back, they went straight to the palace.
"How did they get hurt?"
Guyu: "They said the carriage overturned due to the thick snow on the road. Luckily, we were almost at the city gate and there were still people around."
As he spoke, he paused and glanced at Daohua's expression.
"The Second Madam reported the name of the Weiyuan Palace and promised a generous reward, and then someone helped send the Second Madam and the Fourth Young Lady to the palace."
"The people who sent the Second Madam and the Fourth Young Lady were from a caravan that came to Xiliang to do business. When I went over just now, the caravan owner was quite easy to talk to, but he mentioned that he wanted to go to Bamu Town to do business."
As the first demonstration point for mutual trade, Bamu Town requires government approval to qualify for doing business there, so not everyone can go there.
Daohua pursed her lips and said nothing. Her expression was not very good, but not too ugly.
What could she say at this moment? People were hurt. If she had any opinions at this time, she would be cruel and heartless.
But when she thought about how they were always the ones who had to deal with the aftermath of any problems in the second house, she felt very upset.
After thinking for a while, Daohua said to Guyu, "The palace's reputation cannot be lost, but the imperial court's laws must also be obeyed. Go and tell the caravan that the goods they sell must comply with the imperial court's regulations before they can trade in Bamu."
"Have Yan Shouhou personally take them to the government office to confirm that their goods meet the regulations, and then go to Big Brother to get the approval."
Guyu nodded and quickly retreated.
Soon, Daohua arrived at the guest house.
"Yiyi, we finally see you. Second Aunt thought she would never see you again."
Sun covered her head with a handkerchief, with a little scarlet seeping through it. Seeing Daohua coming over, she quickly stepped forward and held her hand.
There were blood and stains on Sun's hands, and when she grabbed it, stains appeared on Daohua's cuffs.
Daohua couldn't help but frown. Seeing that Sun was in good spirits and his injuries should not be serious, she calmly helped him sit down and quickly withdrew her hand.
Then he looked at Yan Yile who was sitting beside him with her head down. She seemed to have injured her leg and might have fallen off the carriage. She looked a little embarrassed, but in good spirits.
After making sure the two were alright, Daohua asked, "Second Aunt, why did you come to Liangdu at this time? It's been snowing every day these days, which is not suitable for traveling. Even if you want to come, you should wait until the snow stops."
Sun's face became a little uncomfortable. The reason she came to Liangdu at this time was because she had a big fight with Yihuan.
But this cannot be blamed on her. It was Yihuan who was too unkind. Look at the family she found for Yile, they were actually minor officials of the sixth or seventh rank.
With the Yan family's current status, how could they be worthy of Yile?
That would be fine, but those people are all widowers. What's worse, they already have several children. Yile used to be a stepmother. Moreover, none of them has any family background and nothing to show for it.
How can you accept a family like this?
How could she not be angry?
Humph, her good daughter has probably gotten used to being the boss over the years and has become very arrogant. When her mother complained a few words, she started to talk back and didn't know how to be filial at all.
So, in a fit of anger, she took Yile away.
Daohua saw Sun's expression changing constantly and knew that something was wrong. She was too lazy to care about it. Just then, the doctor arrived and said, "Doctor, please take a look at them."
After the doctor's diagnosis, Sun hit his head and had a cut, which would be fine after the bleeding stopped; Yan Yile had some fractures in her calf.
Neither of their injuries was serious, but they both needed to rest.
After hearing this, Daohua had no choice but to leave the two of them in the palace to recuperate and take good care of them. She also asked the maid to take good care of them, then returned to the main courtyard to write a letter to Yan Yihan. After thinking about it, she also informed Han Xinran.
Han Xinran was speechless after hearing the news: "It's only been two months, and even their own daughter can't stay anywhere. This shows how unpopular they are."
After complaining, I felt deeply helpless.
"The second family is just like a dog-skin plaster." Just because of the blood relationship, you can't get rid of them!
