It was already dusk when Jiang Mingyue's family of four returned home with potatoes.

After arriving home, the first thing they did was store the potatoes in the cellar, and of course Xie Yuan kept some.

At noon, the children did not have enough to eat. Within his ability, Xie Yuan did not want to treat his children badly. Furthermore, he planned to send some to Master and Aunt Wan so that they could have a taste.

At dusk, they stewed another pot of potato stew, only this time they stewed beef.

Xie Yuan and Jiang Mingyue laughed when they saw their daughter eating three pieces of beef in a row.

In the evening, Jiang Mingyue and his wife put their children to sleep. When they returned to the bedroom, Xie Yuan took out the brocade box from his arms and handed it to his wife.

"what is this?"

"You'll know after you open it and take a look." Xie Yuan deliberately let it slip.

Jiang Mingyue opened the brocade box and looked at the pearl bracelet inside. A big smile broke out on her face and she threw herself into Xie Yuan's arms.

"Ms. sir, this bracelet is so beautiful! I like it so much."

The bracelet is secondary. The key is the husband's thoughts. You must know that Xie Yuan has handed over his salary every month in the past few years. She is now taking care of the properties under his hands, and he only takes money from her every month. Thirty taels are used as daily expenses.

This bracelet cost more than a hundred taels no matter what, which was equivalent to the private money that her husband had saved for several months, and it was all spent on her. How could Jiang Mingyue be unhappy.

Xie Yuan hugged her tightly, looked down at his wife who was smiling brightly, kissed her forehead gently and said warmly: "Shall I put it on for you?"

Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm' and stretched out her left hand.

Xie Yuan put the bracelet on his wife's fair wrist and touched it gently. It turned out to be as beautiful as he thought.

Jiang Mingyue raised her hand and looked at the bracelet on her wrist, and kissed Xie Yuan's thin lips.

"Mr. Sir, thank you!"

He said and kissed him again.

This time the man turned against the guest and deepened the kiss. Naturally, the kiss ended in a misfire. After some exercise on the chair and table, the two of them washed up again and then went to bed to rest.

Jiang Mingyue lay in her husband's arms and yawned and asked, "Ms. sir, why do we have to wait until Minghong comes to report to the court about the potato?"

Xie Yuan gently stroked his wife's soft hair and said, "Yin Xiaoshan gave this credit to my brother."

Jiang Mingyue opened her eyes wide in shock when she heard this.

"Give it...to my brother?"

Xie Yuan said "Hmm" and repeated Xiaoshan's words to his wife.

"Jiang Shan has a big-picture view and is very courageous. He also takes a long-term view. He knows very well that only when Minghong is well will the Jiang family be well. And he knows very well that with the temperament of his father-in-law and Minghong, he will never treat him badly in the future.

He is very smart and seeks not only temporary benefits, but long-term benefits in the future. "

Jiang Mingyue knew that what her husband said made sense, but she still didn't want to think that people were so complicated.

"Maybe Jiang Shan's original intention was just to help Minghong!"

Xie Yuan smiled gently and kissed his wife: "No matter what his original intention is, it is always a good thing for everyone."

He paused and said: "Go to sleep!"

Jiang Mingyue knew that her husband would have to get up early to take their children to Master Shen tomorrow, so she did not disturb him again and closed her eyes obediently.

The next day, Xie Yuan personally combed his daughter's hair. After combing it, he took out the silk flowers and put them on his daughter's head.

"All right!"

Putao stood up after hearing this. She ran to the mirror and looked at the two pearl silk flowers on her head. She was stunned for a moment, raised her little hand and touched it, then turned around and looked at Xie Yuan and smiled.

"Thank you dad!"

"Do you like it?" Xie Yuan looked at his daughter and asked warmly.

"like!"

Xie Yuan held his daughter's hand: "Then let's go!"

When the father and son set off, Xie Yuan not only brought some potatoes, but also the leftover potato and beef stew from yesterday.

Without any suspense, potato stew has become the most popular dish.

Seeing that Song Wan liked it very much, Shen Mo asked specifically: "What is stewed in this beef? I have never eaten it before."

"A new food."

Shen Mo and Song Wan looked at Xie Yuan at the same time.

"Did you get it from Shui Man?"

Xie Yuan said 'hmm'.

Shen Mo didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.

After the meal, Xie Yuan followed the teacher to the study room. He told Shen Mo in detail about the potatoes and subsequent plans.

Shen Mo touched his beard and smiled.

"Okay, in this way your political achievements will be even more outstanding. Next year when you return to Beijing to report on your work, you will inevitably have a third-grade doctor."

Shen Mo paused and looked at his disciple and said: "The Household Department and the Cangbu Department are still short of a doctor. After you join the Household Department for a few years, you should be able to replace Jiang Shangshu. My boss will retire within five to five years."

Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this.

"Master, Mr. Shen Ge is still young."

"Why is he young? He is already fifty this year. If he doesn't retreat, how can the people at the bottom get up?"

Shen Mo paused and said, "Besides, it would be best for everyone to retreat early."

Xie Yuan lowered his head when he heard this and said nothing.

"Okay, as long as you know these things well, go get to work!"

"Then the disciple will not disturb the master."

Xie Yuan came out from the teacher's room, looked at the vast sky, breathed out slowly, and smiled. After his master said this, his future path was clear.

On the eighth day of September, on Crucian Carp Island, Jiang Weng had just settled a dispute when Jiang Shan ran in in a hurry.

"what happened?"

Jiang Shan walked to Jiang Wen and whispered: "Chickenpox broke out on the island."

Jiang Wen was shocked when he heard this.

"Why did chickenpox suddenly break out on the island? Is the news true?"

"The news is true. Chickenpox came from Shuiman Kingdom. Chickenpox broke out in Shuiman Imperial City. Many children got pox. Those who lived in Shuiman Imperial City were worried that their children would be infected, so they sent them The child was sent to us.

Dr. Wu just told me that chickenpox will have an incubation period of three to five days. During this period, children are normal, but they will get sick as soon as they get sick. This is the case with those watery children.

Although they were in good health when they arrived, they actually had chickenpox. Eight children on the island already had fever and pox. "

Jiang Wen stood up after hearing this.

"Come on, let's talk to Guo Tongzhi. Children can no longer enter or land on the island in the near future."

Jiang Shan said 'hmm' and said in a low voice: "Chickenpox was transmitted from barbarians. We need to keep this matter a secret, otherwise conflicts are likely to break out."

Jiang Wen nodded.

The two met Guo Tongzhi and after telling him about chickenpox, he immediately took them to see General Zhao.

Zhao Mingli immediately dispatched additional navy troops to station at the north and south piers of the island, strictly prohibiting children from entering and exiting. At the same time, Guo Tongzhi posted an announcement.

In the wine shop, Shen Bingxin looked at her husband who suddenly returned with a frown on his face.

"Why did you come back suddenly? But what happened?"

"Eight children on the island have chickenpox. Although I don't know if the other children have been infected, we must take precautions before it happens. Go back now and tell your daughter and son-in-law about the chickenpox and ask them to pay close attention to Tuanzi in the past few days. , the situation of grapes.”

When Shen Bingxin heard this, the wine jar in her hand fell to the ground with a bang.
