The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Tao Anran didn't know what happened in the barracks. Since he sent the alcohol to the barracks, because he didn't know the follow-up effect, he didn't purify the alcohol for the time being.Not only because it was expensive to buy too much wine, but also because the weather was colder.

He just wanted to stay on the kang, as leisurely as ever.It's just that he couldn't feel comfortable for a few days this time, so he got busy again.

It's not because of anything else, just because it's the twelfth lunar month, and all kinds of things are coming.

Early this morning, after breakfast, Tao Anran stood up and walked around the room to exercise her muscles.After taking two steps, I saw Steward Li coming to see me.

As soon as Tao Anran saw Steward Li, he heard him say: "Princess, today's Laba, according to the rules, we should sacrifice to the ancestors and gods. It's just that the prince is not in the mansion, so I don't know what the concubine's arrangement is?"

Tao Anran was a bit at a loss, but he still asked: "Housekeeper Li, I remember that the prince was probably not in the mansion before, so how did you arrange this sacrifice?"

Butler Li replied: "When the lord was not in the mansion in the past, this Laba sacrifice was simply handled by the old slave. After all, this sacrifice is to pray for a good harvest, so we have to do it."

Tao Anran nodded, "Then today's sacrifice is up to you. I don't know much about these things, so you can do it as you see fit."

Butler Li was in a bit of a dilemma. Although he was the one who took care of it in the past, it was because there was no master present in the house.Although the prince is still not in the mansion this year, there is a concubine in the mansion, so it is the concubine's responsibility to handle these major events.Just looking at Wang Hao's expression, it seems that she doesn't quite understand.

Butler Li hesitated and said: "Princess, the master should preside over the sacrifice. The prince is not in the mansion, so it's up to you to preside over the sacrifice."

Tao Anran was confused and asked him to preside over the sacrifice, he didn't understand anything.So he looked at Steward Li sincerely, "Butler Li, I'm really not familiar with these things. Why don't you handle it this time, and I'll learn from behind, and I'll be good next time."

Butler Li repeatedly said, "Don't dare dare."But now that's all there is to it.

So Tao Anran followed Butler Li, watching him put meat and wine on the empty table in the lobby of the front yard.The meat is a fresh animal that has just been hunted, and the wine is also the best wine.Then watch Li Butler light three sandalwood sticks and hand them to him.

Tao Anran was at a loss when he took the sandalwood, but fortunately, Steward Li also ordered three sticks of sandalwood.He followed Steward Li and raised the sandalwood over his head to the table, and then heard Steward Li say: "May the gods bless you, the weather will be smooth and the crops will be plentiful in the coming year. May the gods bless you, the prince will be in good health... "

The voice in the back gradually died down, and Tao Anran couldn't hear it clearly.But holding the sandalwood in his hand, Tao Anran who didn't believe in ghosts and gods was also infected by the atmosphere, and couldn't help praying in his heart.

May the gods bless you, and you will live a long and healthy life!

May the gods bless you, Xiao Jingyu will be healthy and free from disasters!

May the gods bless me, Xiao Jingyu and I can get rid of the shackles!

After the three wishes were completed, Tao Anran bowed again and again, and then inserted the sandalwood into the incense burner on the table.

In this way, the Laba sacrifice is considered to be over.

Then it was noon, when the lunch was delivered, Tao Anran smelled a fragrance, he took a closer look, it turned out to be Laba porridge.When it comes to Laba, you must drink Laba porridge.

This Laba porridge is made of glutinous rice mixed with eight kinds of ingredients, including red beans, dates, chestnuts, ginkgo and lotus seeds. After careful cooking, it is fragrant.Tao Anran happened to be hungry, so he directly scooped up a spoonful of it, and the taste melted in his mouth, soft and glutinous.

As the saying goes, after Laba is the New Year.After eating Laba porridge, it is getting closer and closer to the Chinese New Year.

Tao Anran could also feel the originally quiet atmosphere in the mansion, and became a little excited.The servants also had smiles on their faces, and he could occasionally hear the maids in the yard discussing to buy some cloth to make new clothes, or to buy some meat for the family for the New Year.

Although Tao Anran didn't go out, he also knew that the streets outside the mansion must be very lively.It can also be seen from the gradual and continuous growth of the sales of tofu shops.Throughout the year, the twelfth lunar month is the most leisurely time. For most people, the field work is completed and the farming work is idle.

People have been busy all year, and this time is the time to enjoy the results.With a happy mood, they began to shuttle on the street, thinking about buying some new year's goods for the family.

Tao Anran naturally didn't need to worry about these things.On weekdays, he has no worries about food and clothing, and he opens his mouth and clothes to stretch out his hands when he eats.Especially this winter, I made several thick clothes.It was Chinese New Year, and Bai Lu Han Lu asked him to choose the colors and make new clothes for the New Year.

Not just clothes, but jewellery.Because Tao Anran didn't want to go out because of the cold weather, Steward Li asked the jewelry shop outside to send some pattern drawings.Tao Anran sent someone over whoever he liked.

Tao Anran was really annoyed by their questions.Although he likes new clothes, these clothes are very troublesome for him to wear, and a few more new clothes are really unnecessary.If he really wanted to choose fabrics of different colors, he would just choose simple ones that look pleasing to the eye.

As for jewelry, Tao Anran was interested in its value.He really doesn't like to wear a heavy hair crown or jeweled jewelry every day to show off.If he can't cut his hair, he would like to cut it short.So a head of flowing hair is usually tied with a hairband or a hairpin.

After a few more days like this, Qu Zhishui returned to the palace from the military camp.Nearly ten days after leaving the palace, Qu Zhishui went into the house as soon as he got off the carriage.After recovering from his body on the kang and tidying himself up, Qu Zhishui immediately walked towards Xueji Courtyard.

Tao Anran was very happy to see Dr. Qu.Doctor Qu has been away for a few days, and he doesn't know what's going on.And what the use of alcohol was like, he didn't know.Now that Dr. Qu is back, everything has an answer.

Sailor Qu Zhi held a cup of hot tea in her hand, took a quick sip, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "Princess, I've lived up to my trust. I sent all the alcohol to the barracks. I also sent your letter to you." My lord, this is my reply letter." After speaking, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the concubine.

Tao Anran took the letter, and on the envelope there were four words majesticly written - from the princess.The handwriting is just like the person.Tao Anran grabbed the envelope, and he was too embarrassed to open it right away to have a look with everyone present.

Putting the letter by his side, Tao Anran asked: "Since Dr. Qu has seen the prince, how is the prince's health? Has the previous injury healed?"

Qu Zhishui quickly took a sip of hot tea and said, "Princess, don't worry, the lord is fine. Besides, I stayed there for the past few days, and there was no major battle in the barracks, and only a small team with a few hundred people fought. The prince sits in the army and has no chance to make a move."

Tao Anran was relieved, if he didn't make a move, he would have no chance of being injured.He asked again: "Is the alcohol that I brought before enough, and how effective is it?"

Qu Zhishui put down the glass and replied: "Princess, the main reason I came here is to tell you about this matter. The alcohol helped a lot this time. Those injured patients can be sterilized with alcohol to recover faster. Some The necrotic wounds were disinfected with alcohol and then the carrion was dug out, so they were no longer infected, and the wounds were almost healed."

Speaking of this, Qu Zhishui's eyes lit up, "That is, the alcohol has been used up to seventy-eight eighty-eight, and now there is a little left at the military doctor's office in the military camp. It will be fine if there is no big war next time. If there is a big war, the injured people will die." It will increase, and the alcohol may not be enough by then."

Tao Anran frowned, she didn't expect the alcohol to be used up so quickly.But even if you buy wine and come back to distill and extract alcohol in the future, the time has come to the end of the year.It may be too late to send them to the barracks by then.

Seeing the princess frowning, Qu Zhishui quickly said, "Don't worry, princess. Look at my crow's mouth. There will definitely be no more wars in the future. I heard about it in the barracks. Last time, before the prince was injured and fell into a coma, he killed An enemy called Siana. It is said that he is the leader of a small Turkic tribe, so they dare not fight now."

Tao Anran was comforted when she heard this.If that's the case, great.Then the two chatted a few more gossips, mainly because Qu Zhishui complained that he couldn't eat or sleep well in the barracks.Tao Anran could only nod in agreement.

Finally, after Qu Zhishui left, Tao Anran was free to open Xiao Jingyu's reply letter.

"Zhan Xinrui, the king is fine in the barracks, the princess doesn't have to worry."

"I have received the alcohol and a doctor sent by the princess. The alcohol is very useful and has saved the lives of many injured soldiers. The soldiers on behalf of the king hereby thank the princess. It's just that the doctor is a bit delicate. Although he is skilled in medicine, he has a bad temper. Not very good."

Tao Anran laughed unconsciously, Xiao Jingyu's complaining tone was the same as Doctor Qu's tone just now.They are all complaining about each other.

"The strong wine that the princess said is a blessing to the doctor. This king also saw two cans. The wine is really strong, but it is forbidden to drink during the war, so this king locked up the wine and prepared to drink it after the war."

Tao Anran understood.Before, Tao Anran asked people to put away the high-concentration spirits after they only loaded alcohol into the car and sent it away.But when I counted, I found that two cans of wine were missing.At that time, he was worried whether he had accidentally mixed it with alcohol.It turned out that Dr. Qu specially hid two cans of wine and brought them to Xiao Jingyu.

"My king agreed to the matter that Wang Hao said about cooperating to sell wine together. It's just that wine is no different than others, and the tax is especially heavy. So we can negotiate again about the share. If Wang Hao is not in a hurry, she can also wait for the money to be full. He negotiates."

Tao Anran felt that Xiao Jingyu had become shrewd.Obviously, he agreed to the share of the salt refining at the beginning.Later, after Qian Mancang was responsible for the division of sugar, the division of sugar became a tug-of-war.Now it seems that the share of the spirits needs to be discussed carefully.

"In addition, Wang Hao's sentence punctuation method is particularly simple, clear and easy to use. This king tried to learn it, Wang Hao thinks it is right."

The corners of Tao Anran's lips raised, it doesn't mean that he didn't pay attention.He was used to punctuation marks and sentence breaks, and he didn't even notice the mistakes in this letter.It seems that Xiao Jingyu is a fast learner!

"The weather is getting colder, and I may not be able to go back home to celebrate the New Year. The New Year is coming, I can cut some new clothes, and I can also buy some jewelry..."

Every word and every word reveals concern.A letter from home also seems to be the longing of a person who left home.
