Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 1042 Forty-one Gifts

Since it was the gentry from all over Kunming, the banquet should not be of a low standard. It didn't matter. After all, Mrs. Liao had seen countless big scenes, and they were just gentry. It wasn't a problem for her. There was a mistake, so Mrs. Liao could only be careful in everything, and she had to do everything herself, so she was a bit busy.

   But even so, I heard that Su invited to come, and Mrs. Liao still put down the business at hand.

She has a very good impression of Su Yao, and Su Rong's attention to this sister can be seen by anyone with eyes. Xiao Heng also looks at Su Yao in a different way, and her attitude towards Su Yao is even more polite. .

Seeing Su Yao, she laughed first: "I was going to the county lord's place. Just now, some flowers were sent from the village outside. I wanted to ask the county lord if he liked it, and a few baskets of fresh plantains. I just don't know if the girl likes it or not."

Mrs. Liao has been taking good care of Su Yao these days. She doesn't forget to give her a copy of anything good. When I heard that it was plantain, Su Yao also smiled and thanked: "Niuniu likes to eat, and Mrs. Yuan said earlier, I want to get people to see if there is anything on the street outside, and now it's fine."

These two people have a relationship and have a good relationship with each other. Madam Liao knew it, and she smiled when she heard the words: "That's good, there are some rare things, I'm not used to eating them, but I don't know if children like it or not, and then it will be different. And send it over, Niuniu looks really flattering, even I like her."

   After saying a few words of gossip, Su Yao turned the topic back to business.

   Hearing that Su Yao wanted to purchase medicinal materials, Mrs. Liao didn't take it to heart at first, she just asked Su Yao to make a list, and she asked the people under her to do it.

   A girl's family, even if they are eager to buy ginseng and deer antler, how much money can they spend?

   This kind of favor, Mrs. Liao naturally wanted to do it easily.

However, Su Yao shook her head and smiled patiently: "Madam misunderstood, it's not that I want to purchase the medicinal materials." She repeated what Dr. Shen said before, and said softly: "After all, the soldiers are going to the battlefield. In addition, their water source is really bad, so I thought to buy some medicinal materials, and according to Dr. Shen's instructions, I must let them boil the medicinal materials in the water, so that they won't get sick easily after drinking it."

   Mrs. Liao also heard about this.

   Senator Yang used to come and complain a few times, saying that the natives were prone to get sick, and that the war would cause more casualties.

   But at that time, who would have thought of hiring a doctor for the natives?

   In fact, even if they were invited, according to the temperament of Counselor Yang, it is impossible to spend money to help them purchase medicinal materials for prevention.

   After all, these soldiers are like leeks in the field, and they will naturally grow again after they are cut.

   Now that Su Yao mentioned it, Mrs. Liao couldn't help but seriously think about it. She nodded and said, "I'm afraid it's a lot of money."

   No matter what the medicinal material is, multiplied by more than 30,000 people, it is a huge expense.

   Mrs. Liao was a little worried, looked at Su Yao with a thought, and asked tentatively, "County Lord, this expense."

   Should the court come out?

   Or let Yunnan come out?

   No matter where you ask for money, I am afraid it will be a problem.

   After all, you must know that the imperial court also used money everywhere, not to mention the annual maintenance of the two rivers, as well as the military expenses for the anti-Japanese on the southeast coast, and the city defense on the northern border, which is the hole in Yunnan, and the imperial court has blocked it for many years.

   No matter how much money you want, even if Xiao Heng is the one who came to quell the rebellion, I am afraid that the court will also have something to say, and the money from the household is not so easy to give.

  It would be even more embarrassing to go to Yunnan's financial side.

  Su Yao looked at Madam Liao with a smile: "I just want to discuss with you, Madam, don't you want to invite the gentlemen to the banquet? I thought, with more people and more power, maybe it can be solved."

   Mrs. Liao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she understood what Su Ying meant.

  Yes, there is no need for the court to give this money.

She also sent it down in her heart. At this time, the look in Su Yao's eyes became a little more complicated and admirable. She has realized it now, and the idea of ​​Su Yao has already been made. She came here just to pull her. Take the credit together.

   After all, all those gentlemen are eager to come to Xiao Heng now, and they are worried that there is no way to please them. How could they not do it?

   And she gathered medicinal materials to help solve such a big problem in the military camp. She, the governor's wife, can also have credit.

   She was about to say a few more words to Su Yao when she suddenly heard someone reporting a letter from outside, saying that Xiao Heng and the others had returned.

   Mrs. Liao hurriedly said, "Then let the kitchen get ready and boil the hot water."

   When these people come back, they often have to take a bath instead of eating and sleeping. After all, the military camp is inconvenient, and Mrs. Liao has long experience.

  Xiao Heng and the others came back, and Mrs. Liao was even more busy here. Su Yao took the opportunity to get up and leave.

   After returning to her yard, she saw Qing Kun at the gate of the yard, so she raised her eyebrows and coughed.

   Qing Kun was startled, looked towards her, and hurried over to salute, seeing the swallow grass beside her, the joy on his face could not be hidden.

  Su Yao couldn't help laughing, glanced at Yancao, and let them speak by themselves, and went in first.

Qing Kun scratched his head, took out a small box and handed it to Yancao: "I, I did meritorious service in the Montenegro camp, and I won a silver reward. I saw this beautiful bracelet on the street, and I bought it specially for you. "

   Yancao was very happy, she never twitched, and when she saw the gold bracelet in the box, she also praised Qingkun: "Brother Qingkun is really amazing!"

   The two laughed at each other, and after saying a few words, Qing Kun's eyes lit up: "Sanjiu is here!"

   He and Sanjiu can often meet in the military camp. The relationship between the two is very good now. When Sanjiu came, he said hello.

   Sanjiu also smiled and winked at him, he knew everything about him and Yancao.

   Yancao was a little embarrassed by their troubles, and asked him what he was doing with a straight face.

  Sanjiu held a long box and smiled slyly: "What is Qingkun doing here, I'm here to do it. Here's a gift for the county head!"

   He said, and handed the box to Yancao: "Please, sister, help me to give it to the county magistrate, saying that this is a gift from His Highness, so don't worry, my uncle knows that too, don't worry about it."

  Su Rong did know that Xiao Heng gave Su Yao a gift, but he was still very annoyed, and said to Xiao Heng dullly, "This is a private gift, does Your Highness know? It can't be like this in the future."

   Alas, he is really hard to die.

   One or two are not the kind of people who can follow the rules, but as a big brother, he can only persuade him well and not overdo it.
