Chapter 224 Things that affect the body and mind
"Miss Yuan Er, can you do it alone?" Song Qingyan didn't look down on him. It was mainly because there were too many prisoners, and there would inevitably be places that were not visible, and none of these people could escape.
"Don't worry, Yuan Er can do it." Jun Zhuoyuan's large army was guarding not far away, and no one would dare to do anything under his nose.
Even if Jun Zhuoyuan didn't say it, she could guess it. He came out just a few days after returning to Kyoto. It can only mean that there are more important things than the civil war here. How could he not bring troops? He left without saying a word. He must have left someone behind in secret.
"Everyone go back, Yuan Er stay." Mu Nanyan picked up the letter again and looked through it.
Song Qingyan bowed and left. Yuan Si followed behind him, spinning a brush and holding a piece of grass in his mouth, like a middle school boy with a very arrogant look on his face. Has he been with her for too long? She is not that arrogant, is she?
She wouldn't admit it.
The maid brought in the lunch box and looked at the table, feeling a little overwhelmed.
"Put it on the table and take away the pastries. No one needs to take care of this place." Mu Nanyue piled the memorials together and made a small space.
"Princess, the lotus roots just picked in the kitchen today are very fresh, so I made pork ribs soup specially for you." The maid took out a small bowl, and bursts of fragrance emanated from it.
Mu Nanyan picked up the spoon and took a sip. Hmm, it was really delicious. If this thing were brought to Kyoto, it would be very popular. The key point was how to transport it as quickly as possible while keeping it fresh.
The maid cleared the table and left quickly.
Mu Nanyan sat outside for an entire afternoon before reading through the memorials. There was nothing wrong with them. It seemed that Song Qingyan was really suitable to be the city lord. He loved the people from the bottom of his heart and understood that water can carry a boat but can also capsize it. The people's hearts were the weapons in his hands.
"When we set out tomorrow, go out through the main gate. You know where Jun Zhuoyuan's people are. Take a few people with you when you leave. These people must be sent to Kyoto safely." If she died on the way, it would be difficult for her to explain. Only by sending her to those people could she serve as a warning to them.
"Yes, young lady. I will send a pigeon to tell them that they will be waiting in the dark when we leave the city tomorrow. Young lady, rest assured that I will protect these people's lives until my death."
Mu Nanyan held her forehead with her hand. The people brought by Jun Zhuoyuan were somewhat mentally abnormal. "You don't have to swear to death. Your lives are more important than theirs. Tell the brothers to be careful. I don't know what will happen on the road. Remember that your lives are more important. Come back alive."
"Yes, Miss." Yuan Er left with the bag on his back.
Mu Nanyan stood up and twisted her neck. She couldn't sit for the whole afternoon. As there was too much work to do in the afternoon, Mu Nanyan rejected Song Qingyan's invitation for dinner. She went into the space and ate a bowl of instant noodles before she was satisfied. This thing makes you sick of it if you eat too much, and you will want it even if you don't eat it.
The next day, Mu Nanyan got up early, startling the maid guarding the door, "Young lady, are you up?"
Hey, why does the tone sound questioning? Doesn't she look lazy?
"Yes, prepare some water." Mu Nanyan opened the window to get some fresh air. It was different after getting up early, and she felt refreshed.
When Yuan Er left the city, many people gathered on both sides of the city gate. Some were holding baskets of eggs, and some were holding baskets of vegetable leaves. When a prison cart passed by, you could see vegetable leaves and eggs everywhere. Mu Nanyan felt that it had caused a lot of burden for the people cleaning the city gate.
Song Qingyan tried to stand in front of Mu Nanyan, but Mu Nanyan thought he was causing trouble and pushed him away. "Miss, let's stand further away. I'm afraid I'll hit you here."
"It doesn't matter, they are not blind." Mu Nanyue was not worried about this at all. It was obvious that this group of people had been well trained and had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Song Qingyan could only stay alert at all times and keep a close eye on the people around him, ready to subdue anyone who made a mistake.
After all the prison cars had left and the things in the people's baskets were gone, Mu Nanyan left with her hands behind her back. There was nothing more to watch, so she went back to sleep. The tasks had been arranged, so she just had to wait for Wushuang to come back in three days.
Three days later, Wushuang was afraid that these people couldn't bear it, so he walked slowly on the road. As a result, they all vomited as soon as they got off the car when they arrived.
"Hey, what happened to Miss Qin?" Wushuang was a little flustered. This was the young lady's nominal apprentice. What would happen if something went wrong because of her?
Qin Duo held onto the bicycle and said, "No, I just feel a little dizzy, no big problem."
When Mu Nanyan saw the people, only Wushuang had a rosy complexion, while the others all had pale complexions. It was obvious that they had suffered a lot on the road.
Mu Nanyan patted her with concern and said, "Have a good rest for a day. The yard is ready."
Qin Duo really had no strength left, so she didn't force herself to agree with her. Mu Nanyan asked someone to take her to the yard, and by the way, she went to find Song Qingyan to inform him that he could prepare the supplies for the free clinic.
Ever since Song Qingyan learned about the free clinic, he went to the hospital chosen by Mu Nanyan to supervise the work for a period of time every day. The work was finally completed this morning. He almost thought that he would not be able to get in when people arrived, fortunately.
Mu Nanyan knew that he went there every day, so she didn't take the hospital's affairs to heart. She stayed in seclusion in the yard for three days and developed a new poison.
Mu Nanyan asked someone to go to Jiangyan Tower in advance to inform all the girls that the problems had been dealt with and now they were all innocent. They only needed to be treated and sent home or stay in Jiangyan Tower first.
The next day, Mu Nanyan was woken up by Wushuang. She was still resentful when she woke up. Wushuang was used to it. He was busy with things but kept urging her. Mu Nanyan couldn't stand it anymore and got out of bed to wash. Her resentment didn't dissipate until she went out.
Qin Duo recovered a lot after a day's rest. The man carrying the medicine box looked energetic. Song Qingyan and the other person gathered together and discussed something.
"Miss." Qin Duo immediately pounced on her when he saw her.
Mu Nanyan rubbed her cheek, "How is Kyoto?"
"My brother is here in Kyoto, don't worry, Miss. Zhang Qi will also learn the basic knowledge from him."
"Okay, let's go to the hospital." Mu Nanyan led everyone to the carriage. This time Song Qingyan changed the carriage and finally everything was back to normal.
Song Qingyan originally wanted to buy a new one but unfortunately it took too long, so she simply bought a second-hand one to use first.
As soon as they arrived at the hospital entrance, a lot of people gathered around to watch. It was because of these people that Mu Nanyan decided to treat Miss Jiang Yanlou first. After all, these people would not believe it unless they saw the real thing.
The girls from Jiangyan Tower, all wearing veils, walked past everyone one by one. Muye stood at the door and greeted them, while the people around just watched the show without saying a word.
Qin Duo's serious look can scare people.
In less than half a day, the two of them cured the girl from Jiangyan Tower. Occasionally, two theatergoers would come in to see Mu Nanyan for treatment. Compared to Qin Duo, they trusted Mu Nanyan more.
Mu Nanyan felt that today was particularly relaxing. Unlike in Kyoto, where she couldn't even drink water, here she could still chat.
Within three days, the hospital was packed with people. Some people who had tried it themselves told everyone about it after returning. People around them couldn't help but try it too, and the medicine became famous.
Time passed quickly and the tenth day arrived soon. Many outsiders heard the news and arrived in Jiangcheng a day in advance to make preparations. Mu Nanyan went out for a stroll many times in the past few days just to see what kind of people they were. Of course, she set traps for them on the way.
Some people with bad luck have been eliminated before the exam, so just looking at their papers seems a waste of time.
Song Qingyan was the invigilator for the imperial examination in the capital. Song Qingyan said that he was very nervous because it was the first time in his life that he had to invigilate an examination without taking it. He even made a new set of clothes for this purpose.
When Mu Nanyan saw his new clothes, she couldn't help but praise him. It's true that clothes make the man, and he looked more cultured wearing this outfit.
The imperial examination officially began. It lasted for two days. The first day was for civil servants, and the next day was for teachers. They would select teachers for Jiangcheng's future education.
Exams are fun but grading is a pain in the ass. In order to quickly fill the vacant vacancy among Shangjiang City officials, Mu Nanyan graded the papers overnight, and even Yuan Si and several others had to join in grading the papers, which took two whole days.
The notice was posted by Song Qingyan himself. Mu Nanyan was very protective of the city lord and specially had people surround a safe zone and sent Yuan Si to be his bodyguard for half a day.
On the day of the results, some were happy and some were sad. A total of ten people passed the exam. Some brave girls signed up, and even the girls from Jiangyanlou signed up. These people were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and were more than qualified to teach children. For Jiang Cheng's future life, Mu Nanyan forbade the opening of places like Jiangyanlou here, as they would affect the body and mind.
Everything was ready and she could finally leave.
