Chapter 907 Chapter 907, Reputation
Xiao Yeyang is now in charge of the border troops of four garrisons. Due to the lack of horses, the cavalry is less than 10,000, which makes him eager to build a horse farm.
If we really fight with the Western Liao people one day, we will have to rely on Marco.
So, after receiving Wei Hongcai's letter, Xiao Yeyang took his men to Liangdu the next day.
"My son-in-law has only been back for two days and he's gone again."
Guyu was a little worried. Since Sister Man'er stayed in the capital, she would be the first person around the girl and would have to worry about everything.
Now, the most important thing in her mind is when her daughter will get pregnant.
Daohua is quite open-minded about pregnancy. Xiao Yeyang is no longer taking birth control pills, so she will just let nature take its course when she gets pregnant.
"Girl, there are hundreds of dairy cows on the ranch, and we get a lot of goat milk, horse milk, and camel milk every day. It's hot now, and if you don't use up all the milk on the same day, you won't be able to drink it the next day."
Cao Chuan came to the Xiao Mansion and reported the ranch's management situation to Daohua, and then talked about the issue of milk waste.
Daohua pondered for a moment. Under the current conditions, there was no way to preserve fresh milk. After a moment's thought, she asked, "When I went out before, I found that most of the beggars in Ganzhou City were children. Do you know what's going on?"
Cao Chuan replied, "Madam, before you came to Ganzhouwei, Ganzhouwei had always been the main target of the Western Liao people. Many children's parents were killed while protecting their property. Without a home, these children could only beg for a living."
Daohua was silent for a moment. "Well, you take the fresh milk to the pharmacy. I'll have someone hang a sign in front of the pharmacy. Orphans in the city can go to the pharmacy every day and get a bowl of fresh milk for free."
Cao Chuan looked at Daohua and said respectfully, "Madam, this is very kind. Many children will survive."
Daohua thought for a moment and said, "We can't let them develop a habit of dependence either. We should select some milk dispensers who are good at speaking. Every time the children come to get fresh milk, have them talk about being self-reliant."
Cao Chuan smiled and nodded: "I'll do it right away."
Both the pharmacy and Cao Chuan were very efficient, and they hung up a sign that day saying that the pharmacy would provide free fresh milk to orphans in the city.
Beggars are the most informed. In just a short while, all the wandering children in Ganzhou City knew about it and were eagerly waiting for the next day.
The next morning, a long line formed at the back door of Four Seasons Pharmacy, and it was full of homeless children, which attracted a lot of onlookers.
Soon, other people also knew about the free milk giveaway at Four Seasons Pharmacy.
At the Dong family's house, Liu Xiaoman was feeding her son. After hearing about this, she couldn't help but sigh to Old Madam Dong and Madam Dong: "My sister-in-law is really kind-hearted. There are many orphans in the city. How much money must she spend to give each of them a bowl of fresh milk?"
Madam Dong glanced at her granddaughter-in-law and sighed, "You know what? Yan has such a large ranch and can get a lot of fresh milk every day. Now she's using it to help homeless children. This not only avoids food waste, but also wins a good reputation. This is killing two birds with one stone."
"Just wait and see. After this incident, the Xiao family's reputation in Ganzhouwei will be even higher in the future."
After saying that, he was stunned for a while.
Yi Yi is such a good wife. It's a pity that because of her lack of vision back then, her grandson missed out on such a good wife.
Mrs. Dong noticed Mrs. Dong's expression and knew that her mother-in-law was beginning to regret it again. She smiled and quickly turned the topic to her grandson.
Ever since her grandson was born, the resentment in her heart has disappeared.
The daughter-in-law is not as good as Yi Yi, but she also has her advantages. Besides, since her son is satisfied with her daughter-in-law, she will not destroy the relationship between the couple.
Guard station.
After Wang Qi heard about the Four Seasons Pharmacy donating milk to orphans in the city, he was silent for a while. Then he sighed to Dong Jiancheng, "It is a blessing for the people of Ganzhou Guard that Lord and Madam Xiao can come to Ganzhou Guard."
He had originally wanted to follow Lord Xiao to Liangdu, but thinking of the years of oppression by the Wei family and fearing he would cause more trouble, he stayed in Ganzhouwei. Together with Dong Jiancheng, he helped Lord Xiao manage the internal affairs of Ganzhouwei.
Dong Jiancheng remained silent. He believed that a good wife should be married to a virtuous man. A good wife is always helpful to her husband, and this was vividly reflected in the young prince and Yan Yatou.
The young prince is out there reorganizing military affairs, and Yan Yatou is helping to win over the people in Ganzhou City. With efforts both inside and outside, the reputation of the Xiao family will become more and more famous in Ganzhou Guard, and will slowly spread to the entire Xiliang.
Thinking about the current situation of the Dong family, he did not regret it in his heart. If he had not looked down on the Yan family and agreed to let his son marry Yan Ya
Dong Jiancheng shook his head. The outcome was already decided, and there was no point in regretting it. He shook his head and continued to deal with the official business at hand.
Two days after the gift, Daohua came to the pharmacy to look after it.
Because the opportunity is hard to come by, the children who come to get milk cherish it very much. They line up in an orderly manner and no one makes trouble.
Of course, Cao Chuan also sent people to watch over and make sure no accidents happened.
Seeing that everything was fine at the pharmacy, Daohua left. She didn't take the carriage back immediately, but strolled along the main street.
When passing by a pastry shop, Daohua's eyes lit up: "The pastries here are so crudely made. I might as well open a pastry shop. Since I have fresh milk, I can sell cream cakes."
After saying that, Daohua excitedly returned to the Xiao Mansion, ready to find the cook to study the pastry recipe.
In front of the gate of the Xiao Mansion, Daohua had just gotten off the carriage when she heard a surprised voice coming from behind her.
"Yiyi!"
Daohua turned around and saw Dong Yuanyao and Sun Changze standing not far away.
"Yuan Yao!"
"Brother Sun!"
Daohua pulled Dong Yuanyao aside and asked with a smile, "When did you arrive?"
Dong Yuanyao smiled and said, "I just arrived today and came to see you as soon as I got here."
Daohua led the two into the mansion and said, "Why didn't you send a letter in advance before you came? So I could send someone to pick you up?"
Dong Yuanyao smiled and said, "We know you and the young prince are quite busy, and Changze is quite familiar with this place, so we came here on our own."
Daohua led the two into the house and asked, "Did everything go smoothly along the way?"
Sun Changze smiled and said, "Our people are used to running, everything is fine."
Daohua nodded. "That's good. The bandit problem in Xiliang is still quite serious." Then she looked at Dong Yuanyao's belly and said, "I haven't had time to congratulate you yet. Is it a boy or a girl?"
Dong Yuanyao smiled and said, "It's a son. I wanted to bring the child to my parents and eldest brother to see, but the child is still too young. I was worried about something happening on the way, so I left him at home and let my mother-in-law help take care of him."
Daohua: "Look at me, I actually forgot to send someone to inform my aunt and the others." As she spoke, she smiled and said, "Now Uncle Dong and Big Brother Dong are working in the garrison, and my aunt and the others have also settled down in Ganzhou City."
Hearing this, Dong Yuanyao suddenly clenched Daohua's hands, her eyes reddening: "Yiyi, thank you, and thank you, little prince, for helping me take care of my family."
Daohua smiled and patted Dong Yuanyao's hand: "Do we really need to talk about this between you and me? You must be tired after all this journey. Come sit down and rest."
After Dong Yuanyao sat down and drank a cup of tea, he said to Daohua, "Yiyi, I want to go see my mother and the others first."
Daohua nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to show you the way. We'll talk after you meet your aunt and the others."
