After visiting relatives, Ji Wan began to arrange the design of the garden scenery in the mansion.

"Food some goldfish in the pond. Here, create a stone table and two stone benches." She walked over and told, "The flowers and plants in the garden are too monotonous, so plant a piece of violet here."

"yes."

The housekeeper followed and wrote down her instructions one by one.

"There is also this open space, which I want to use as a medicine garden. By the way, how many maids are in charge of the garden?"

"There are twelve in total when it comes to Mrs. Young Master."

Ji Wan looked around and saw that the garden was big, but there was no need for so many people.

"Let's go back and pick two people in charge of taking care of the flowers and plants to come to me, and I will teach them to take care of the herbs. Oh, then you remember to circle this piece of land with a fence."

"yes."

I visited the garden all the time and arranged everything I should have arranged. It was already noon and the meal had been prepared in the kitchen.

"Young lady."

Zeng Ting handed her a large stack of red posts, "This is a greeting sent by the families and officials from all over the northern part of the country today."

Ji Wan took a rough look and found seven or eight seals.

"Why are there so many?"

She opened one by one and most of them were the families of local officials. Most of these local officials had backgrounds and came from the branch of the aristocratic family in the capital. Once the term of office expired, they could return to Beijing to report their duties with their family forces. In the past, there were no female relatives in the Duke's Mansion in the north, and Duke An Guo and his son were on the front line most of the time, so these wives did not have the opportunity to visit. On the third day of her return, these officials handed over a letter of worship. One was to pay homage, and the other was naturally a sign of flattery.

She was not in the mansion two days ago, and the housekeeper did not dare to reply casually. She handed it over after integration. She ignored it for the time being, but she did not expect that she received more today than the previous two days.

"The war is now on the front line, and the people are frightened and panicked. They can't even do the work of the opera troupe and want to move south. Unfortunately, they heard that Taining was fighting a civil war, and the civilians could not get on the official boat, and the boatman crossed the river and asked for a price everywhere. On the way, they were afraid of encountering bandits, so they dared not go. They were worried that the opera troupe would have no food to eat after the collapse of the opera troupe. These ladies are good. They either hold flower banquets or tea banquets in the mansion every day, and they don't understand the sufferings of the people at all."

She threw all her posts aside at will.

"No. Let me continue to give you any posts like this in the future."

The Duke Anguo Mansion is not in charge of military power but is already noble enough. If he gets too close to a group of noble ladies in the north and is transmitted to the capital, those who are interested will inevitably falsely accuse a party of a clique. Especially those aristocratic families, this involves it, so it is difficult to distinguish them.

"yes."

After clearly rejecting, the wives who were ready to move became much more at peace and did not submit a reply to him again.

The war on the front line is still continuing. Yancheng is closest to the front line, and he can always receive the latest battle report as soon as possible.

In the past half a month, Da Yan and Bei Di fought twice, both leading the way. Bei Di suffered a loss and temporarily quit. Lu Feili returned to the Duke's Mansion.

The couple was walking around the garden together. Lu Feili looked at the garden that had changed a lot and couldn't help but raise his lips, "It's only half a month ago, you've been decorating this garden a little more angry. I heard that you planted a large medicine garden, why are you planning to open a medicine shop?"

"Why do you open a pharmacy? Besides, such a small pharmacy is not as big as when we were in Dengxian before. The pharmacy shop in my yard is not enough. I am fighting now, and business is not easy to do. I have nothing to do, so I get over and make herbs and send them to the front-line military camp in the future." Ji Wan said: "In this war, there will always be casualties, and only if you are prepared can you be safe."

Lu Feili smiled, "The court has allocated enough military funds, so there is no need for the wife to worry about it. Besides, you have just planted it, and when it is available, the war has already stopped."

"Then I don't have any harm in growing a medicine garden. Of course, a young man like you, who was born with a golden spoon, does not understand the tricks. Let me tell you, selling medicinal materials is a huge profit. For example, a ginseng plant can be sold at least 1,000 taels in a large pharmaceutical shop in Beijing. But ordinary ginseng wheat seedlings will not exceed 5 taels, and they usually harvest in six years. Think about it, if you plant it yourself, it will definitely not be worth one, but one piece. Those who survive will make dozens of times more profitable. Oh, do you still remember the wild ginseng I picked four years ago? It was sold at that time for fifty taels. The pharmacy shop will sell it at least double it."

Of course Lu Feili remembers it.

He later bought the ginseng, which cost 100 taels. Isn’t it doubled?

The Northern Di had not yet retreated, and the war would begin at the front line at any time. General Lu Feili, who could not stay in the mansion for too long, had to leave that afternoon.

He came back alone on a horse, but when he left, he pulled away dozens of large boxes.

"These boxes contain bamboo rice, which I asked the kitchen to prepare for you. They contain diced bacon and ham sausage and chicken gravy that I made. You can eat it for the soldiers as a taste, and then steam it. In addition, this big box contains pumpkin pie, which I made myself."

Ji Wan blinked and said, "You carry it with you when you are patrolling the troops outside. You can eat it hot and cold anyway. So you won't be able to find food in the deep mountains and forests, so you can pick poisonous mushrooms."

Lu Feili raised his eyebrows, "What did your mother tell you?"

Ji Wan smiled but said nothing, which was the default.

Lu Feili stared at her for a long time and suddenly approached her, "Mrs. Hua Tuo is alive. Even if he is a husband, he is poisoned by his husband. With his wife's magical doctor's trick, he will definitely be able to pull him back from the gate of hell."

Ji Wan subconsciously retreated with such intimacy in public, her face turned red and she glared at him.

"It's going to be a verbal."

Lu Feili smiled and turned over to the horse's back.

"I express my gratitude to my wife on behalf of all the soldiers in the North."

"Okay, don't just talk about these false things, go quickly."

...

On July 20th, Ji Wan learned about it.

Her grandmother Liu is dead.

Ji Wan was stunned for a moment. It took a while before she remembered that Liu was detained and imprisoned for poisoning the fish pond in Yi Village. It has been almost two years now.

She was about to forget this person.

"How did you die?"

"The yamen runner said that when he was serving hard labor, he had a dispute with several female prisoners, and was pushed down from the slope, and his head hit the ground. After a few convulsions, he died."

Ji Wan was silent and said, "Have you notified uncle and the others?"

Zeng Ting said: "They live in Deng County, and the yamen sent someone to inform them to collect the bodies. And the Yuan family has also received news."

Ji Wan was silent again.

The so-called death is the greatest. Liu is dead. No matter how serious the crime he committed in the past, it will disappear. She, the granddaughter, should go to worship.

"Prepare the carriage and go to Yi Village in the afternoon."

Liu was a member of the Ji family and should have been buried in the Ji family's ancestral tomb after his death.
