Chapter 119: It’s so weird

Xiao Hanzheng didn’t show off either.

He said in a positive tone, “As long as you follow my instructions and take medicine to recuperate, you will be cured in about half a year.”

Fei Yuzhe said with surprise on his face, “That’s great. My nephew will follow your arrangements for treatment.”

Fei Congjun’s originally dull eyes also showed a hint of surprise and hope: “I will listen to Master Xiao.”

Who would want to die if he could live?

Having been ill for these years, especially after hearing the advice of the imperial doctor that his illness could not be cured, he also asked his family to make preparations.

He was a little discouraged and thought about just leaving.

But every time he saw that his family never gave up and that his uncle even kept running to find a miracle doctor for him, he felt very uncomfortable.

Now that the disciple of the miracle doctor said that his disease could be cured, he couldn’t help but feel hopeful.

Xiao Hanzheng asked a few people to wait for a moment, and he went to the study to write a prescription.

Then handed it over to Fei Yuzhe: “You send people to go to the county town to grab these medicines and bring them back. I will add some medicines I have at home and give them to the young master.”

Fei Yuzhe took the prescription and handed it to his cronies, asking them to go to the county town to get the medicine.

Seeing the fine sweat on Fei Congjun’s forehead, Xiao Hanzheng said, “Young master, go to the guest room to rest. I’ll give you acupuncture first.”

He had a complete set of gold needles in his hand, which were left behind by his master and said to be passed on to his disciples.

He had already learned acupuncture very well in his previous life, and the effect would be even better when combined with medication.

Fei Congjun has been on the road recently. His body was weak, so he really couldn’t bear it now: “Okay, please trouble Master Xiao.”

So Xiao Hanzheng took a few people to the guest room in the side courtyard.

The side yard was separated by a flower garden and has ten rooms, as well as separate huts and bathing rooms.

Five of them were suites.

Each suite has a separate living room with sofas, coffee tables, and other furniture, as well as a study room and three bedrooms.

This was also for the convenience of accommodation when a family or guests with servants arrived.

For example, today, Fei Yuzhe’s uncle and nephew can live in a suite with their servant.

Liang Youxiao lived in another suite with his maid and servant.

This was the first time for several people to see such a yard and room, and the furniture was very novel.

Fei Congjun lay on the big bed in one of the bedrooms and felt that the bed was much softer and more comfortable than the one at home.

He took off his clothes, and Xiao Hanzheng gave him acupuncture.

Fei Yuzhe was guarding the place while Liang Youxiao was bored. After asking Xiao Hanzheng for permission, he started to visit the side yard.

Then the huts and bathhouses also attracted him.

After studying for a while, he came out and walked to the flower garden that separated the main courtyard and the side courtyard.

Then he heard Xiao Hanzheng’s wife talking.

Shi Qingluo was smoothing her pet’s hair as she said, “Daidai, you are not young anymore. I think you can go for a walk in the mountains to see if there are any beautiful geese. You can hook one up and let it give birth to your cubs.”

“In the future, you won’t have to be alone as a housekeeper. If you are bullied like today, you can take care of the enemy with your whole family.”

One goose alone was not enough to look after the house.

The genes of her goose were good. If he finds a wild mother goose with the same genes, lays a few more eggs, and hatches out a bunch of goslings, they will be good housekeepers when they grow up.

In the mountains over the old house, poultry, and livestock were mainly raised.

She had people plant soybeans, etc., because she was afraid that they would be eaten or trampled by poultry and livestock. She thought she could train a few geese to guard them.

So she said earnestly, “You look so good; your cubs must also look good.”

“When the time comes, they can go to the mountains and keep an eye on our poultry and livestock; otherwise, they will trample and be eaten by others.”

“Then put a few more on the other side of the mountain to look at the medicinal materials I grow.”

When Daidai heard what his mother said, it seemed to make sense.

So he puffed up his chest and shouted a few times in response, which meant he agreed.

Liang Youxiao, who happened to hear everything, saw this scene: “…”

He thought it was too whimsical that this woman not only wanted the goose to look after the house and the yard but also wanted the goose’s descendants to guard the mountain.

The main point was that one person and one goose seemed to be asking and answering questions. It seems to be like that.

Could it be that this matter was rare and strange, or that this person was just too weird?

He came here with his friend to avoid the sticks of his old man at home.

At first, he didn’t have any hope; he thought he would just hang out for a few days and then go back to the capital.

Now, he suddenly felt that this place seemed quite interesting, and he was considering whether to stay for a few more days.

After eating the Xiao family’s food for dinner, he decided to stay.

The dishes were all new to him. He had never eaten pork before because he found it smelly, but now he couldn’t stop eating braised pork made from pork.

The chestnut-fried chicken was also so delicious.

The tofu and crucian carp soup were also delicious.

The scrambled eggs with red fruits were also delicious.

“What kind of vegetable is this red fruit? ”

He has never seen tofu or red fruit before.

Shi Qingluo said, “This is a wild fruit I accidentally discovered on the mountain. When I brought it back, I found it could be used for cooking, so I planted some.”

The so-called red fruits were tomatoes, which she grew from seedlings taken out of the space.

Tomatoes don’t exist yet. Historically, they were not introduced until the Ming Dynasty.

But she liked tomatoes and wanted to make tomato sauce, so she took them out and planted them.

There were too many vegetables, melons, and fruits, and the impact on the outside world was not that big, so no one would pay attention.

Liang Youxiao believed it: “This is delicious.”

“Can you sell me some seeds later? I want to take them back to the capital and let others try to plant them.”

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “No problem, I’ll just give you some.”

It can be seen that this person’s family background is not low, and it will not go wrong to establish a good relationship.

“Thank you! “Liang Youxiao didn’t show any pretense.

He then asked Shi Qingluo, “How did you get the toilet and bath in that hut of yours?”

He had heard Xiao Hanzheng say before that it was Shi Qingluo’s idea.

He went up to the latrine and turned on the switch to flush the water. It was indeed clean and easy to use, and there was no smell.

He also took a bath and found that using the shower to take a bath was much more comfortable and convenient than taking a bath in a wooden bucket.

There was also toilet paper in the hut, which was better than the linen and silk at home.

He has never seen the so-called soap used for bathing. It was clean and had a fresh fragrance. He also liked it.

Hearing Liang Youxiao ask about this, Fei Yuzhe’s uncle and nephew also became interested and looked at Shi Qingluo.

They were also very curious about this new gadget, and the results of the experience were very good.

Shi Qingluo smiled and explained to them the general principles of toilets and bath showers.

This was also thanks to Xiao Mu and Xiao Qingshui, the father and son, who worked under her.

Nowadays, most of the houses being built are one-story bungalows, so Shi Qingluo had someone build water storage on the roof.

With the ceramic pipes in restrooms and bathhouses, flushing toilets and showers similar to modern ones were realized.

The trouble was that the water storage needed to be filled manually several times a day.

When taking a bath, they need to boil water and mix it with cold water.

Not as convenient as in modern times.

But compared to the old courtyard where they lived before, Shi Qingluo was already very satisfied.

After hearing what she said, Liang Youxiao and others couldn’t help but sigh inside their hearts. Xiao Hanzheng’s wife was extraordinary.

It was amazing that she could come up with so many weird and convenient things.
