Chapter 357 Leaving a Seed of Medicine
Lu Qingqing's eyes lit up. "How many medicinal herbs do you have in reserve?"
"us……"
Jin Diandian stopped herself in time, asking warily, "Why should I tell you?"
Ha, I'm not stupid anymore.
With her life in someone else's hands, and afraid of offending Lu Qingqing, Jin Diandian quickly added, "Well, you're my third senior sister's daughter. What about my third senior sister? Actually, we used to be very close, and I miss her a lot."
Lu Qingqing rolled her eyes.
Could she please not make her little schemes so obvious?
How can rivals in love ever get along?
"Stop arguing. Yan Qiubai has never been to Ming'an County. Whether he is dead or alive, or whether he ran away with someone, has nothing to do with my mother. My father and mother were very loving and had three children."
Three?
She's so fertile!
Who is her father? He's the kind of person who could make her third senior sister choose him over her second senior brother!
"Where did he go? He couldn't have run off with someone else!" Jin Diandian exclaimed anxiously.
"Then ask yourself. You've been married for nine years. Don't you know how he treats you normally? Does he never talk to you? Think about it carefully!"
Jin Diandian has been thinking about it for many years.
Her second senior brother treated her very well.
But it's definitely not as good as treating the third senior sister.
"He doesn't tell me many things..."
"If it were me, I wouldn't tell you either."
With a brain like that, who would dare to talk nonsense to her?
"Now that you're on my turf, you're not leaving. Leave this medicine behind!"
"What do you mean? We're not going to give you the medicine. You're spreading rumors about the Holy Doctor Sect and boasting that you can perform blood transfusions and open-chest surgeries. What are you trying to do?"
There's no way to have a conversation with them.
"Mo Lang, take them to Uncle Crow's house to see what's wrong with the ginseng seedlings losing their leaves. If they can't cure it, it means they're not very capable. Just kill them!"
For some reason, the ginseng she planted was fine, but the leaves in Li Laogua's ginseng plantation started to turn yellow and black, showing signs of withering.
She guessed it was because it was getting hot again and the rainfall was increasing.
But how to treat it is unknown.
"Yes, Master!"
Mo Lang responded and dragged the two away.
Ever since he returned from the prefectural city, he has changed how he addresses people.
Lu Qingqing was puzzled at first, but after thinking about it, she realized that he must have been scolded by Ji Ruyan.
Let him shout whatever he wants.
The mother and child were really loud; you could hear their cries from far away.
Just as Lu Qingqing was about to enter the house, Chaoxia came running in shouting, as if she had been chased by a dog.
How did the steady morning glow change like this?
"Miss! The First Madam is about to give birth!"
"She got her wages at the workshop today, and she just snapped while she was talking!"
Lu Qingqing quickly ran out the door, and Qiaoxiu also ran out of the pharmacy. Then they saw that Chaolu had already carried Feng Xiaowan to the door.
Princess carry!
Feng's mother, who was carrying Xibao, was still running after her from afar.
"Good morning dew!" Lu Qingqing gave the morning dew a thumbs up.
The necessary supplies for the birth were prepared well in advance, and this time Feng Xiaowan did not experience the dangers of her first pregnancy.
Lu Qingqing made her do all the exercises she could think of beforehand to soften the cervix, eat less in the last month, and take walks every day.
The results were good, and production was very fast this time.
But it was yet another daughter.
Feng Xiaowan looked distressed: "I wrote to your older brother last time and said I would definitely give him a son, so how come it's another daughter?"
"That's your older brother's problem, not yours! Don't say things like that, or the child will be upset."
"She's too young to understand."
"I can't understand what you're saying, but I can still sense your emotions."
Feng Xiaowan immediately dared not show her unhappiness.
Qiaoxiu hooked the swaddled baby onto the scale and weighed him. "Except for the weight of the swaddling blanket, it's exactly six jin and six liang. That's auspicious. The little guy is sure to be a lucky one."
Lin Ye looked on with envy and delight, then held the bag up to show Feng Xiaowan, "Sister-in-law, look how fair and beautiful she is!"
Feng Xiaowan took one look and immediately fell in love with it.
A mother's love radiated from her eyes.
This baby is well-fed and well-cared for; she is indeed much plumper and fairer than the thin and weak Xi Bao before, and her hair is also black.
While liking her, he also felt guilty towards Xibao.
Lu Qingqing smiled and said, "Don't overthink it, just get some rest."
"What's your name?" Feng Xiaowan asked again.
Lu Qingqing named Xibao back then, so of course she should name her now.
Lu Qingqing thought for a moment and smiled, "Anxi, Anran."
safely.
"Anran, that sounds nice."
Lin Ye and Qiao Xiu stayed inside to take care of her, while Lu Qingqing went out to tidy up, changed her clothes, and took Xi Bao from Feng's mother's arms.
“Auntie…” Xibao kissed her happily.
Lu Qingqing helped her to see the swallows under the eaves.
"Little swallow, wear a flowery dress..."
Xi Bao started speaking very early, and her pronunciation is clear. She can even sing two lines of the songs we teach her.
"Xi Bao is so smart, great job!"
"Great job..."
...
Jin Diandian and her son were indeed experts in growing medicinal herbs; they spotted the problem with the ginseng seedlings at a glance.
Excessive rainfall and rising temperatures have led to poor soil drainage, causing the soil to become infected with pathogens, a condition known as ginseng plague.
Her suggested treatment was to remove moisture, ventilate the room, replace the soil with forest soil, and cover it with wood ash.
She also said that ginseng doesn't only get this one disease.
It's not feasible to grow it at home; it needs to be planted in a well-ventilated, high-altitude forest.
Lu Qingqing knew this as well, of course.
But there were only so many seeds at the time, and she felt it was safe to grow them at home, so she planned to plant them in the mountains the following year after getting the seeds.
"Judging from your extensive experience, the Holy Healer Sect must have cultivated quite a few ginseng plants, right?"
Jin Diandian reflexively denied: "No, not at all. We don't have many seeds either."
Her eyes blinked nervously.
What a joke! She couldn't possibly admit that the ginseng field was her most prized and most cherished possession!
"Well, I've asked the villagers, and they all say your mother passed away a long time ago, and your father is indeed Lu Xingwang. It seems I misunderstood."
"I'll teach you how to grow ginseng, can you let us go? I still need to find my son's father."
Lu Qingqing smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"One by one, none of them can escape."
"What?"
"When a snow mountain collapses, no snowflake is innocent."
"Which snow-capped mountain collapsed?"
Lu Qingqing didn't answer and turned to leave.
"Mom, I think this junior sister is a bit scary. Does she still want to kill us?" Jin Duoduo hugged her shoulders.
"No, her mother is very kind and never harms anyone."
As I was speaking, I sensed something was wrong with what was happening beside me.
Two burly men were already standing beside the two.
"Who are you, and what do you want?"
"I'm acting on my daughter's orders to force you to plant medicinal herbs!"
What?
They don't grow medicine!
It's for guiding the planting of medicinal herbs!
He's in charge of over a thousand hectares of medicinal herb fields!
"Hey, hey, don't push people!"
