"can you?"

Zheng Huiniang asked in confusion.

So many years have passed. She was unwilling to believe it at the beginning. As time passed day by day and year by year, she gradually changed from vague hope to disappointment and finally despair.

The sea! It is said that it is boundless and you can't even see the edge at a glance.

After sailing on the sea for a few days, you can no longer see the shore, and rarely encounter other ships. Everywhere you look, there is a piece of blue water.

And I heard that there are man-eating fish in the sea, including giant fish that can swallow a large ship, and small fish with teeth that can bite people alive and eat their flesh and blood until only a skeleton is left.

Just imagine, if the boat capsizes under such circumstances, can a person survive to be rescued?

Zheng Huiniang didn't dare to think about it, but her daughter's words faintly rekindled her hope.

"Well, my Ranran is blessed by the old gods, and everyone around you has also benefited from it and has good luck. Maybe your father can lend you good luck and live well, and one day he suddenly comes back to see us. "

"So, mother, don't be sad because of dad anymore. We should live well. When dad comes back and sees that we are living so well, he will feel better."

"Okay, mother, listen to you, live our life well, and wait for your father to come back. If he can't come back..., then, mother, just think that he is living well elsewhere, as long as he is okay alright."

"Well. Mom, it's getting late, let's go to bed early!"

"Okay, go to sleep! It's my mother's fault that I delayed your rest. You have to get up early tomorrow to treat your grandma's eyes, but you have to have a good rest. Go to sleep! Mother is asleep too!"

The mother and daughter extinguished the candles, and soon they heard the sound of even breathing. Qiao Ran, who was not yet asleep, knew that her mother had fallen asleep.

She entered the space and went to the laboratory to prepare the instruments, medicines, etc. needed for the operation.

There is a leather couch in the laboratory. Sometimes when she is tired from doing experiments, she lies on the sofa and relaxes for a while.

After getting ready for the operation, Qiao Ran left the space.

It was late at night, and she had to take a good rest so that she could be energetic for the operation in the morning.

Early the next morning, when Qiao Ran woke up, she saw her mother had come in personally carrying a copper basin.

"Ran Ran wakes up? Come and wash your face! Mother will go get you some hot water."

"Mother, there are servants in this mansion, you don't have to do this yourself."

Qiao Ran knew that in wealthy families, there were servants and maids responsible for the master's daily life. I guess her mother was not used to this.

Sure enough, I heard Zheng Huiniang say: "Mother is not used to having others serve her, so it's okay to go get some water yourself."

"Mother, you have to adapt to this sooner or later. You are the eldest lady of the General's Palace. From now on, grandma will definitely introduce you to the ladies and ladies of the nobles in the capital. If people see you doing everything yourself, others will not I think you are considerate of the servants, so they will only secretly laugh at you and laugh at the General’s Mansion.”

Zheng Huiniang was startled. What her daughter said made sense. She was not only a country peasant woman, but also the eldest lady of the General's Mansion. Her behavior also represented the upbringing of the General's Mansion. She could not cause ridicule to her parents or the General's Mansion.

"Well, mother, remember, I will let the maid do these things in the future."

Seeing that her mother had listened to her advice, Qiao Ran said nothing more.

Although I don't like to be restrained, I still have to know what is good and what is good.

In this ancient upper class with very strict rules and regulations, reputation is very important to a family.

Even if she doesn't care, her grandma, grandpa, uncles and aunts don't care, but she can't let others laugh at her relatives.

After washing up, the maid led the way to the dining room.

At the dining table in the dining room, Mrs. Zheng, Zheng Linshi, Xiao Laner, Qiao Dong and Qiao Bei were already sitting and waiting for them.

Qiao Ran glanced at Qiao Bei, and she didn't expect that her little brother who always loved to stay in bed would get up so early and wash up today.

"Hui Niang, Ran Ran, come and have breakfast! I guess you will be here soon, so I will have breakfast brought out. How did you sleep last night? Are you still used to it?"

Zheng Lin asked enthusiastically, worried that it would be their first time staying overnight in the General's Mansion and they might not be used to it.

Zheng Huiniang smiled and nodded, and Qiao Ran replied: "Thank you for your concern, aunt! We slept well. The beds here are much more comfortable than the tents we sleep in."

"That's good! If there's anything you don't like, just tell me or the housekeeper. You're welcome."

"Okay, thank you, aunt!"

"You're welcome. Come on, eat quickly. Breakfast is getting cold."

Qiao Ran sat down and looked at the several large bowls and plates on the table.

Compared to the steamed buns, pancakes, and wild vegetable soup served by people in Qingshui Village, the breakfast at Jiangjun Mansion is much richer.

Mrs. Zheng Lin introduced them one by one thoughtfully.

Most of these things, such as sesame porridge, sesame cakes, Yipin cakes, fine-noodle steamed buns, steamed buns, bean paste, jiao rings, meat buns, etc., have never been eaten by the Qiao family.

These are probably the breakfasts of wealthy people in the capital, unlike those in Qingzhou Prefecture who only have buns and steamed buns.

In fact, before Qiao Ran traveled through time, the Qiao family, like many ordinary people in this era, only ate two meals a day in order to save food.

But Qiao Ran knew the dangers of skipping breakfast, so she made the Qiao family get used to eating three meals a day. Slowly, the people in Qingshui Village also started eating breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Qiao Ran can't get used to the weird-tasting flax porridge and bean juice, but she still likes to drink sweet soy milk or millet porridge.

However, the Yipin cakes, sesame cakes and meat buns here were quite to her liking, and she ate several pieces in a row.

"Ran Ran likes sweets?"

Mrs. Zheng Lin noticed Qiao Ran's preferences very carefully.

Qiao Ran nodded: "Well, I like sweets. But it's not like I don't like other flavors. I'm not picky about food."

Well, it wouldn’t be appropriate for a refugee who escaped from famine to be a picky eater, right?

Zheng Lin smiled and nodded: "Your uncle also likes to eat sweets. Oh, I don't know your preferences, so I asked others to serve breakfast that we people in the capital usually eat. Since you like sweets, I will ask others to Let’s go cook some sweet porridge!”

"No need, aunt, I can get used to these, so don't bother."

"Hey, okay, then I'll have someone start making some desserts for you to eat tomorrow."

After eating breakfast and resting for a quarter of an hour, Qiao Ran was about to take Mrs. Zheng into the prepared room to prepare for the operation.

She asked someone to prepare warm water and a pot of warm boiled water to cool down, saying that they would be used for taking pills.

After asking everyone to light all the candles, Qiao Ran asked everyone to go out and closed the door. Only she and Mrs. Zheng were left in the room.

"Grandma, please take this pill first. This is Ma Fei Powder. I made it into pills. It is easy to carry and take, and it works quickly."

"Okay. Ranran, grandma believes in you, so just do it boldly!"

"Okay, thank you, grandma! I will definitely not betray your trust!"

Qiao Ran handed over a white pill and a glass of spiritual spring water that she secretly poured. Mrs. Zheng took it without hesitation and swallowed it. Then she lay on the bed and waited for the medicine to take effect.

Qiao Ran was talking to her grandma. Gradually, her voice became lower and she finally fell asleep.
